Early the next morning, Liu Zhen, who was also the commander of the Zhushan Military Port of the Navy, personally drove the new-style military transport ship "Kunpeng" and sailed out of the port with more than 100 attendants of two families, young and old, and more than 100 attendants.

The sea and sky are the same color, the sun is warm, the sea breeze is very soft, the old lady Taishi who is concentrated on the foredeck is as happy as the children, and sighs to the children from time to time that she dreamed of taking a big boat to go to sea to see when she was a child, and the boats at that time were small, only going around the near sea, but in her opinion it was already very big, until she came to Zhushan, she never dreamed that she could make the boat so big, and felt that the boat she had seen before was like a bathtub compared to the ship in Zhushan.

The old lady's words amused the children and Sun Wan.

Tai Shi Ciyao, who was leaning on the side of the boat with Liu Cun, was very emotional: "The feelings that my mother just said, I also had the same feelings when I was a child, and I didn't expect that one day I would be able to sit on such a big sea ship, I remember that I was shocked when I first saw the three hundred stone sea boats, but last month I saw the two thousand stone transport ships of the Bohai Fleet at the mouth of the Yellow River, and immediately felt that the three hundred stone sea ships were nothing at all, and this time I came back, and found that Xiahe City was bigger again, and our former military camp in the north of the city became a beautiful building, The city and the city are full of people coming and going, and the changes are so fast, I really don't know what will become in the future! ”

"Do you think it's getting better or worse?" Liu Cun asked with a smile.

"Of course it's getting better, if it's getting worse, how can people in the world call our Langya a paradise in the world?" Tai Shi Ci said with a smile.

Liu Cun also smiled: "This proves that we are doing the right thing, if we can make the whole world better like Langya, everything we do will be more valuable." ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded: "Big brother." Little brother understands that you are not for yourself. For the sake of all the poor people in the world, this is not only the opinion of the younger brother. The brothers in the army all see it this way, and they all have great respect and support for the eldest brother. ”

"This time I was ordered to go to Yanzhou to help in the war, and the officers and men in the army felt it more deeply, and they sighed that they didn't feel anything at ordinary times, but when they arrived in Yanzhou, they saw the Yanzhou soldiers who were inferior to cattle and horses, and saw groups of hungry people on the abandoned land, and then they realized how lucky they were."

Even Junyi often sighed, saying that he had lived in vain in the past few years, if he hadn't met his eldest brother. I'm afraid he is also like those Yanzhou officers and soldiers who are demoralized and disheveled, and he doesn't know why he lives and what he wants to do in this life. ”

Liu Cun brought the words to Zhang He: "Junyi is a rare general, four generations of family military education, the foundation is very solid, he himself is also humble and studious, and his progress is very fast, what is lacking is the accumulation of experience, you go back and put more burden on him." Let him be able to take charge of himself as soon as possible, I need you to come back as soon as possible and help me carry the burden of the Qingzhou Army. ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded heavily, and Liu Cun continued: "At the end of the year at the latest." The 80,000 Qingzhou Army must be fully manned, otherwise it will not be able to cope with the increasingly chaotic situation, in order to ensure that our non-commissioned officers and soldiers can obtain regular training. I have ordered the Zhucheng Infantry Training Base and the Zongcheng Cavalry Training Base to be temporarily relocated to the camp in the west of Linzi City. ”

"Now it seems. The big camp in the west of Linzi City can no longer meet the needs, and I have to go back to the bottom of the Shadowless Mountain in the south of Zouping City as soon as possible. Build a permanent base that can meet the needs of at least 80,000 troops stationed and confrontation drills, and in the future, it will also be the base camp of the Qingzhou Army and the location of our army's arsenal. ”

"That twenty-mile radius is surrounded by mountains on both sides, there are three small rivers, the terrain is complex and diverse, very suitable for establishing a training base, I also plan to wait for the completion of the construction, temporarily move the Chengyang Martial Arts Academy in, so I will be very busy when I go down, Yanzhou is all up to you to deal with."

"Big brother, do you think it's still necessary for us to stay in Yanzhou?"

The question asked by Tai Shici was also a question that the soldiers under his command were puzzled by.

Yanzhou Yellow Turban saw the arrival of the Langya army, its main force soon transferred to the border area of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, the small shares of the Yellow Turban have disappeared, Tai Shi Ci and Zhang He led the army into Yanzhou for nearly two months has not been fighting, Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai seems to be reluctant to let the Langya army enter his hinterland, quite annoyed Tai Shi Ci simply let his soldiers stationed in Zhencheng to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger, and then he was really idle, so he ran back to ask Liu Cun what to do, but Liu Cun asked him to continue to be stationed, which made him very incomprehensible.

Liu Cun knew that Tai Shici was very uncomfortable staying there, but for the sake of reputation and ulterior political interests, he had to stay uncomfortable, so Liu Cun told Tai Shici the purpose and significance of sending troops into Yanzhou to participate in the war, and finally revealed to him a secret operation that was being carried out:

"A month ago, the remnants of more than 10,000 yellow turbans entrenched in Laiwu County (now Chengzizhuang in the southeast of Zichuan, Shandong) entrenched in the upper reaches of Zishui in the south of Qi County could not stand it, and thousands of people died of cold and starvation in one winter, and they could not survive to surrender to us.

"Although Laiwu County is far away from the center of Yanzhou and is in the middle of the remote mountains, it is Yanzhou territory after all, and it is rich in high-quality iron ore and coal, as well as the best kaolin in the entire northern region that can make high-temperature porcelain, so I asked Lu Pei to quietly bring the assembled 5,000 yellow turban Qingzhuang to Linzi, and then bring 3,000 Qingzhou troops who have been trained for half a year to return to Laiwu, put on old-style leather armor and firmly garrison there, and nearly 20,000 old and weak women and children also continue to stay in Laiwu City, which has been occupied by them for more than half a year."

"Mr. Zirou has allocated a sum of money to organize a group of mining and smelting craftsmen to go to Laiwu, it is estimated that in two months to open the furnace to make iron, a piece of precious kaolin transported to Zhushan, rough estimates, at least three million catties of iron ingots, millions of catties of kaolin, and then by boat down the Zishui River, transported to the two smelting workshops under the plate of our Chamber of Commerce in the south of Linzi City, a large number of armor and weapons to meet the needs of our army."

"So, you have to stay in Zhencheng for a while to contain the eyes of all the heroes for me."

Tai Shi Ci suddenly realized: "Little brother understands!" Big brother don't worry. ”

Liu Cun patted Tai Shici's arm, walked to the foredeck, and picked up Tai Shici's two-year-old son: "Little Hengheng, what did you see when you always pointed to the sea just now?" ”

"Dolphins! Uncle, there are a lot of dolphins, Hengheng wants to sit on the back of the dolphins, keep walking, keep walking, go to see what the eldest brother said about Yizhou. Tai Shi Heng replied angrily, with a very serious demeanor, which made everyone laugh.

Liu Cun praised loudly: "Our little tycoon is amazing, not only has a rich imagination, but also knows Yizhou and has ambition!" ”

The two-and-a-half-year-old Tai Shiheng didn't care that everyone laughed at him, and held Liu Cun's face and asked, "Uncle, can Hengheng be a captain when he grows up?" ”

Liu Cun immediately turned to Tai Shici who was happy to be haha: "This question is too complicated, I'm afraid that the virtuous brother will answer it, it seems that your son doesn't like to ride a horse, he likes to ride on the back of a fish." ”

Everyone laughed again, and Tai Shici hugged his son and deliberately lowered his face: "Didn't you say a while ago that you wanted to learn to ride and shoot?" What's wrong? ”

Tai Shi Heng timidly pointed to the large bed crossbow at the front of the deck: "Dad, the arrows shot by that big crossbow are bigger ......"

Liu Cun couldn't help laughing, Mrs. Taishi and her daughter-in-law also laughed happily, and several children laughed even more, which made Tai Shici even more depressed.

In the evening of the same day, the two families visited Huangdao and visited the naval shipyard, the naval army base camp and many other places, and everyone at home was very happy when they returned to Fenghuang Gang, and the old lady Taishi was still immersed in the shock brought by the wide military port and the huge sea ships and warships, and the children were even more excited to chatter endlessly.

Sun Wan and Mi Huan surrounded Liu Cun and said that they would have the opportunity to go out for a walk in the future, over the years, there have been few happy days for a family like today, Liu Cun was happy and guilty when he heard it, and quickly nodded and agreed.

After returning to Linzi, Liu Cun, who was so busy, could no longer remember what he had promised his two wives, and he was busy inside and out every day, often discussing various affairs with his subordinates in the middle of the night, returning home to take a shower and lie on the couch, hugging Mihuan and talking to him, he fell asleep unconsciously, which made Mihuan feel distressed.

In mid-March, Liu Cun received the news that Huang Wan had been appointed as the assassin of Yuzhou, and happily wrote a long letter to Huang Wan overnight to congratulate him, and told Huang Wan that Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, with the close cooperation of Gongsun Zhan, finally defeated Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun and recovered most of Youzhou.

In less than half a month, Huang Wan's enthusiastic reply arrived, saying that he had made a request to the imperial court and the emperor to grant Liu Cun the title of Qingzhou pastor, and he also asked the imperial court to send Qingzhou troops to aid Yuzhou and quell the Yellow Turban riots that were intensifying in the territory.

Liu Cun repeatedly read Huang Wan's reply and discussed the gains and losses of sending troops to aid Yuzhou with Gongsun Pei, Guo Yuan, Zhao Rong and Han Yang.

Liu Cunming knew that Liu Hong would not survive for many days, but when he received the news of Liu Hong's death, he was still sad, and with tears he issued an order to set up a mourning hall for the whole army to wear filial piety, and held a grand and grand memorial ceremony for the emperor Liu Hong.

What everyone didn't expect was that just three days after the mourning hall in the Qingzhou Thorn History Mansion was erected, the angel honor guard with fluttering filial piety suddenly came to Linzi City, and silently drove into the Thorn History Mansion in the low sobs of the Linzi soldiers and civilians.

Relying on the position, Zhang Dun, the Huangmen Cheng wearing heavy filial piety, first entered the mourning hall to pay respects, and then turned his back to the mourning hall to face Liu Cun and the officials who knelt down, took out the last edict written by Emperor Liu Hong before his death, and read out aloud the last appointment of Emperor Liu Hong with tears: Liu Cun was crowned as the pastor of Qingzhou, and the general of Zhendong was awarded!

Before Zhang Dun's words fell, Liu Cun had fallen to the ground and cried, and the surrounding cries were loud and wailing, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the crying of grief became louder and louder, and the entire Linzi City was shrouded in a rain of tears.
