On the tall King of Qi, Li Su stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the black and oppressive land in the distance, where was Linyi City, which was now completely controlled by him, but speaking of which, it was the first time he had come here. And beside him, there were several noble ladies, among whom Wu Meiniang stood beside him, and beside Wu Meiniang, stood Wu Meiniang and Princess Jiang Yuan.

Li Zhen and Li Yun have been training in Linyi for several months, and the cavalry of the grassland people, plus Li Zhen and those military cadets who came with him, have all learned the systematic training method, so in just a few months, the 50,000 grassland cavalry organized have been trained and can be put into the battlefield at any time.

For this news, Li Su didn't know whether to be happy or worried after hearing it, Li Zhen and Li Yun were influenced by him to embark on this road, although Li Su knew that if Li Zhen and Li Yun could really lay down a piece of land overseas, it would be a good thing for both Datang and him, at least they expanded the living space of the Han people, and at the same time set an example for the royal family of Datang, so that the future princes and grandchildren can see another hope.

But this road is full of unknown dangers, especially for Li Zhen and Li Yun, maybe just after arriving in Tianzhu, they will be killed by an inexplicable disease, maybe they will die in the conflict with the local natives, etc., for these unknown dangers, everything needs to be faced by Li Zhen and Li Yun themselves.

Thinking that Li Yun was only in his twenties, and Li Zhen was not yet twenty years old, Li Yun couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart, and even had an urge to stop them, at least let them wait for a few more years. But reason told him. Now Li Zhen and Li Yun are ready in all aspects, like a bow with a full string. The momentum has also reached its peak, if he stops this bow from shooting arrows now. I'm afraid it will only make this arrow lose that indomitable momentum.

"Little sister, when you came, I saw that you brought a lot of things in large bags, what are they?" Wu Meiniang next to her suddenly asked her sister Meiniang in a low voice. After their family reunited some time ago, although Wu Meiniang wanted to accompany her mother, sister, and little sister every day, she had the intelligence system of the Qi Palace, and there were too many things for her to deal with, so except for the first few days, she rarely stayed with Meiniang at other times.

Although Wu Meiniang has already married Li Zhen. But his face was still very thin, and after hearing the second sister's question, his face turned red and said: "How can there be so many things, it's nothing more than some food for my husband, and some clothes made by my little sister, I don't know when my husband will be able to pick us up?" ”

As soon as Wu Meiniang's words fell, the Yuan family next to her was also a little sad, but she was older after all. Therefore, he smiled and comforted Wu Meiniang and said: "Meiniang don't worry, the eighth brother and the husband have an army of 50,000 this time, and they have the help of the sixth brother, plus this time they are just laying a foothold first." There is certainly nothing dangerous about it! ”

Although the Yuan family wanted to comfort Wu Meiniang, there was not the slightest confidence in her tone, but Wu Meiniang smiled at this time: "Two princesses, you are concerned about it. In fact, the battlefield is not as terrible as you think, when I was in the country with your sixth brother. The troops at the front were receiving success, while we remained in the small towns in the rear. Surrounded by a large army, there is no danger at all! ”

When Wu Meiniang said this, she suddenly looked up at Li Su, and then lowered her voice and said to Meiniang and Yuan: "In addition, let me tell you a secret, Australia was conceived at that time!" ”

Hearing that Wu Meiniang told this kind of secret thing, Wu Meiniang and Yuan's two were immediately diverted, and they stepped forward to pull Wu Meiniang aside and asked in a chatter. And Li Su next to him sighed, no matter how noble a woman is, their nature is the same, especially when they hear this kind of gossip, they don't even have time to care about their husband's life and death!

After Linyi was taken over by Li Su, the grain export trade here became more prosperous, and some grain merchants were no longer satisfied with buying grain from Linyi, but after buying land in Linyi, they hired local people to grow rice, so that the cultivation and purchase of grain were all in their hands, and the cost was saved several times.

In addition, there are Han people in Linyi to open mines, although the scale is not as large as that of Luzon, and there is no gold ore group like the pine plateau, but it has found a lot of rich reserves of lead ore, silver ore and copper ore, which with the application of muskets, Datang and Taiwan have a great increase in demand for lead, Datang has a lot of lead ore in China, so I don't worry too much, but Li Su has no decent lead ore in his hands, I didn't expect to find some in Linyi, which also makes Li Su pay more attention to Linyi, At the same time, the local garrison was increased.

It is also the prosperity of grain export and mining industry that makes the port of Linyi City more busy, and there are countless ships entering and leaving every day, but now Linyi Port has been controlled by Han officials, and Li Su has also sent many experienced officials to manage the port, plus Linyi Port has also been expanded, so now Linyi Port is very orderly, and there will be no blockage.

Li Su's Qi Wang did not enter the commercial port, but entered the military port next to the port of Linyi, where a navy was stationed, with fifteen large warships, each of which was about 1,000 tons, equipped with fifty guns, and many auxiliary warships, whose combat effectiveness was very strong, and the entire South Seas were under the threat of this fleet.

After entering the military port, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu were already standing on the dock to greet them, these two people were arrested by Li Su, forced to abandon business and politics, and now they are in charge of Linyi's political affairs.

Seeing Li Su get off the boat, Wang Kuang and Cui Yu immediately stepped forward to pay a visit, although the personal relationship between the three of them was good, but on this formal occasion, they were all Li Su's courtiers, so etiquette must not be abolished. Then they met with the two princesses, and then led them to rest in the city of Linyi.

By the early morning of the next day, the things unloaded from the ship had also been loaded, and Li Su, Wu Meiniang and the two princesses each boarded the car, and then rushed to a plain south of Linyi City, where a garrison of Linyi was originally located, but now it was requisitioned by Li Su and lent to Li Zhen and Li Yun to train the grassland cavalry.

When they arrived on this plain, they saw that the plain was dusty, and the cavalry appeared and disappeared in the dust, as if they were rehearsing some formation, and behind these armies, there was a high platform, and a herald holding the command flag waved the flag and directed the cavalry to gallop back and forth.

Now that the training of the grassland cavalry is nearing the end, the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, but it is precisely because of this that Li Zhen and Li Yun's affairs are getting busier and busier, so even if they knew in advance that Li Su and they were coming, they didn't have time to meet them at the dock, and Li Zhen and they also understood this very well.

However, although they did not go to the dock to greet them, Li Zhen and Li Yun were now waiting for them outside the training ground, and when they saw Li Yu getting out of the car, they immediately stepped forward to support him and said: "The sixth brother has worked hard all the way, but the younger brother has been waiting for a long time!" ”

Although the two of them were talking to Li Su, their eyes couldn't help but drift to the two cars behind, obviously thinking about their wives, and now they were just perfunctory to Li Su. Seeing this situation, Li Su also shook off the hands of the two of them angrily and said: "Okay, the two younger siblings have come all the way to see you, don't leave you out in the cold......"

Before Li Su's words were finished, Wu Meiniang and Yuanshi also opened the car door separately, and as soon as Li Zhen and Li Yun saw their mother-in-law, they didn't care what Li Su said, they immediately threw off Li Su's arm and went to find their own lady.

When Li Zhen and Li Yun first arrived in Linyi, the training task was not very heavy, so they also had time to go back to Taiwan to visit their wives, but later the training task became heavier and heavier, and they wanted to take responsibility for themselves and establish an image of a prince who shared weal and woe with everyone among all the soldiers, so the two of them had not returned to Taiwan for more than two months.

As the so-called Xiao Biesheng is newly married, Li Zhen and Li Yun meet their respective wives, and naturally have endless words. Although Li Su didn't want to disturb them, but the place was wrong, and now they were still at the gate of the barracks, so they had to interrupt the conversation between the two couples, and they would talk about what they had to say. At this time, Li Zhen and Li Su felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly let Li Su enter the barracks.

This plain is very close to Linyi City, and Li Su also intends to use this place as a training and garrison place, so there are strong barracks built here, and all kinds of facilities are also very complete. Li Zhen and Li Yun live in two adjacent courtyards. Both courtyards are all built in unison, and there is little difference.

For example, there is only one main room inside, and the furnishings in the room are very simple, except for a bed separated by a screen, the rest is a sand table, in which is a map of Ceylon Island, which is their first stop to reach Tianzhu, and it is also the first combat target.

Seeing that the place where the husband lives is so hard, there is not even a bathtub for bathing, and there is only one well in the yard, according to Li Zhen and Li Yun, after they finished training, they will draw a bucket of water from the well, and then wash up, anyway, the weather is hot here in Linyi, and there is no hot water at all.

Li Su didn't feel anything about this, if he wanted to do a career, he naturally had to endure hardship, and this hardship was nothing at all, and the prospecting team in Luzon that drilled around in the tropical jungle was really bitter. But Wu Meiniang and Yuan's secretly began to wipe their tears, always feeling that their husbands had been wronged, after all, when they were in Chang'an, they were all princes with fine clothes and fine food, where did they suffer like this?

After visiting the two residences, Li Zhen and Li Yun immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet, mainly to pick up the wind for Li Su, and by the way, discuss when to set sail to Tianzhu? (To be continued......)
