Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2783 Closer Relationships
As expected of Fang Jun's virtuous helper, he did things beautifully, and his words were even more beautiful, Cui Dunli admired in his heart, clasped his fists and said: "In this case, I will leave for the time being, and if there is a request, I will inform Mrs. Wu."

"Please."

"Please!"

Cui Dunli left in a hurry, according to the previously set imperial case, orderly commanded the officials of the Ministry of War and the porters on the pier to make preparations.

In a short while, more than a hundred merchant ships came out of the night like beasts at night and sailed into the pier. The originally wide river suddenly seemed to be filled with countless schools of fish, densely packed the entire river .

The officials of the Ministry of War, who had already been prepared, instructed the civilian men of the Ministry of War and the porters of the dock to arrange the ships to approach the berth, then stirred the winch, and drove the boom to hoist the ordnance tightly wrapped in oilcloth onto the deck of the cargo ship one by one, and then The porter dragged it into the cabin.

The elites of the "Hundred Knights" are assigned to each other, and each ship is supervised to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to sabotage and delay the shipment process.

The entire pier was brightly lit, boiling against the sky.

Naturally, Li Junxian didn't need to supervise every boat like his subordinates. Standing on the pier, looking at the fiery scene, he sighed: "At the end of the year, the general was also in the army. It was a protracted and costly operation. Thousands of horse-drawn carts and mule carts were used, and hundreds of thousands of civilian men were recruited. Not to mention the difficult journey that often took several months, even the greedy Loss is an astronomical figure. Therefore, there is a saying that "soldiers are a major event for the country". A big war often needs to consume the country's savings for several years or even ten years. Foreign invaders always have the intention to kill the enemy, but they have no power to return to heaven. However, since the establishment of the Jiangnan Shipyard by Guifu Erlang and the improvement of ship design and construction, water transportation has become increasingly important. Going to places that are not suitable for water transportation such as northern borders and western regions, Now Datang can transport countless soldiers, armaments, and fodder to any place in the Southwest, Lingnan, and East China Sea within ten months. Not only the loss is minimal, but the speed is more than ten times that of the past. This is how Datang Tiger The invincible and brilliant record, Erlang's contribution not only lies in the country, but also lies in the generations to come!"

These words were indeed made with emotion.

The outside world generally only sees Fang Jun’s feats of leading the navy across the seven seas to overwhelm the Eastern and Southern Ocean countries, and even sent troops to Baidao to overthrow Xue Yantuo. However, Li Junxian is often by His Majesty Li Er’s side, and he has a deeper understanding of Fang Jun’s feats .

Deterring foreign countries and destroying Mobei, although the meritorious service is outstanding, Fang Jun is not the only one. If it is replaced by Li Jing and Li Ji, the results will not be much different.

However, Fang Jun invented and improved firearms, making them the main arm of the Tang army, which completely subverted the mode of warfare.In particular, Fang Jun attaches great importance to the sea area, and builds a shipyard to improve the ship type, which makes Datang's deterrent power on the sea grow day by day, and brings benefits like the tide.

What is the fight?
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than manpower and material resources.

Even sometimes, advanced military equipment and sufficient logistical supplies can completely determine the outcome of a war.

From this point of view, Fang Jun’s contributions to Datang can be said to be great. It is precisely because of Fang Jun’s various suggestions and actions that Datang’s national power is growing day by day, and it is still growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. It has already crowned the world and looked down on the world.

In this way, there is the unworldly feat of Datang Tiger and Ben running rampant in the world to open up the frontier and expand the land!

Wu Meiniang stretched out her jade hands to brush her temples that had been blown by the wind, and said with a smile, "We women don't understand men's affairs. When you are tired, it is enough to use a spoon with bare hands and know the cold and hot. As for the so-called meritorious deeds, your majesty and courtiers will weigh them, have a rich history to remember, and future generations to pass on, but what does it have to do with us women What about relationships? We just need to silently support men when they make contributions.”

Li Junxian was stunned for a long while before he came back to his senses, shook his head, and said with a light smile: "No wonder His Royal Highness Prince Jin lost his mind when he saw Miss Wu. This kind of virtuous and dignified woman, who is beautiful and intelligent, is taking advantage of Fang Erlang!"

This remark was a bit frivolous, but Wu Meiniang was not annoyed, instead she blushed a little and said slightly annoyed: "Is General Li also molesting others like the King of Jin?"

Li Junxian hurriedly said: "I have absolutely no such intentions, it's just a momentary feeling, so I have nothing to say, I hope Mrs. Wu will not be annoyed."

Wu Meiniang blinked, chuckled lightly, and said: "My family is just a joke, why should the general be like this? The general is different from the king of Jin. You and my husband are very close friends and admire each other. You can also be regarded as close friends, let alone a family. Man, in the past, your majesty punished your majesty for causing trouble, but thanks to the general, you have saved yourself a lot of suffering. Your majesty and the general are good friends, so why should you care about mere jokes?"

With these words, Li Junxian cuddled in his heart, and laughed loudly: "As expected of a woman who refuses to give up to a man, Erlang has a concubine, so what can a husband ask for?"

It seemed a little disrespectful, but in fact they suddenly shortened the distance.

It is true that I and Fang Jun have mutual affection and admiration for each other, but they definitely cannot reach the level of the so-called "good family".But after Wu Meiniang's words, the relationship between the two parties has changed from a good friend to a best friend, otherwise, how could they talk and laugh with each other's concubine without evil thoughts?

This woman has a delicate heart...

"It is said that Erlang was assassinated in the south of the Yangtze River. Fortunately, there was no danger. After this matter is settled, he will return to Chang'an soon, right?"

"Yesterday, I received a letter at home. Your lord has already set off from Jiangnan to return, but he doesn't know what kind of boat he is on and how fast he is, so the return date is undecided, but I guess it will only take a few days."

Li Junxian nodded and looked around. The night was getting deeper and the cold wind was getting bitterer. He tightened the cloak on his body and said to Wu Meiniang with concern: "It's very windy and very cold here. Miss Wu is weak. Go to the house to take shelter to keep warm, I'm here to watch, don't worry about it."

Wu Meiniang did feel a little cold, but Mr. Lang had mentioned several times that Li Junxian was an important figure related to whether the crown prince could succeed in enthroning, so today happened to be an opportunity, and she tried her best to win over the relationship between the two families.

Hearing Li Junxian's words at this moment, he tightened his fur, smiled, and said softly: "Then there will be General Lao, but I won't go to the house over there. The conditions are simple, and His Royal Highness King Jin is alone. Feeling uncomfortable, I didn't dare to bother, so I went back to the carriage to rest for a while, if the general has something to do, I can send someone to inform me."

Li Junxian naturally knew what Wu Meiniang meant. He deliberately avoided King Jin, so as not to give King Jin an opportunity to ruin his reputation. Send someone to fetch you."

The two bid farewell to each other, Wu Meiniang, accompanied by the maid and her family general, returned to the carriage and closed the door of the carriage. The maid had already taken out a small stove from the carriage, and put two burning charcoals into the hand warmer Zhong warmed Wu Meiniang's hands, then took the stove to the outer shaft of the car, made a pot of hot water, made a pot of hot tea and put it in the car.

Wu Meiniang was wearing a sable fur, holding a hand warmer in her arms, she took a sip of hot tea, when someone outside knocked on the car door.

"Ms. Wu, Erlang is back."

Someone outside approached the carriage and whispered.

Wu Meiniang was overjoyed, and quickly asked, "Where are you now?"

"The boats are mixed among these boats from the south of the Yangtze River. They have just arrived at the pier, and there are still important things to do at the moment, so I sent a young man to come and inform, so that Lady Wu should not be in a hurry."

Only then did Wu Meiniang feel relieved, but immediately told him: "Go to Erlang immediately and tell him that today's 'Baiqisi' is all out to assist King Jin in supervising the loading and transport of ordnance, and he must be careful not to be caught by the tail. "

Although she didn't know what Fang Jun's mysterious return to Guanzhong was all about, but she must have a big plan to hide and hide.

The man outside promised in a low voice, and left quickly when he saw that Wu Meiniang had no further confession.

In the carriage, Wu Meiniang frowned in thought.

Mr. Lang returned to Guanzhong in such a mysterious way, and at the same time that the Ministry of War was loading ordnance to Liaodong, it was obvious that he wanted to make trouble.

However, delaying the transportation of armaments can damage the prestige of King Jin, but it will even affect the preparation of the Liaodong army. Such a disregard for the interests of the empire will anger His Majesty.
