The banquets in the military camp are not that complicated. The delicacies that can be eaten every now and then in the military camp are moved to the dining table.
Soldiers are straightforward in nature. When the banquet was held, they were not as verbose as literati. They all took their places and listened to the high-ranking officials sitting at the head of the table talking about some arrangements or requirements.
In the camp, Li Chengqian sat in the main position, Qin Qiong and Xu Yunyan were on both sides, and then Qin Qiong's generals.
Following them are Xue Li and Qin Huaiyu. As for the young generals, they are all staying at the back of the camp. Although they are also generals, they are so young.
Even if there are some generals in front of them who are also miscellaneous, their age and military exploits are there, and it is natural for them to be in front of them.
Qin Qiong looked at the tent full of talents and picked up the wine glass.
"Honor me Tang Dynasty!
There are so many heroes and heroes, and I will have no worries in the future of the Tang Dynasty. "
After Qin Qiong's opening, everyone cheered, but Xu Yunyan couldn't drink. Fortunately, in the military camp, he was afraid of drinking and getting into trouble, so drinking tea complemented each other.
But after everyone congratulated the Tang Dynasty, congratulated His Majesty Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers who died in the battle to pacify the Japanese country, it finally started to get lively. .
Li Chengqian and Xu Yunyan accompanied Qin Qiong, asking, "General Qin, I wonder what good things happened in Datang to make General Qin so happy."
Qin Qiong started talking immediately.
"So that you may know that His Majesty has promulgated several policies that benefit the country and the people."
What Qin Qiong said was a joy. Li Shimin reduced and exempted taxes, completely exempted the people of the Tang Dynasty from taxes, and even reduced a lot of land taxes in some parts of the world. That was a joy.
Xu Yunyan and the others who also heard this were also very excited.
They did not expect that Datang could do such courageous and responsible things in the hands of Li Shimin, which really made them sigh.
As for why Qin Qiong is so excited, he also started from the war years of the late Sui Dynasty to the present.
Many things were caused by grain and grass. The taxes and corvee at that time killed many people, which is why so many people rose up.
However, what Li Shimin did was to prevent such a situation from happening again in Datang. It was really a good strategy for long-term peace and stability.
Just after Qin Qiong kept talking about the current changes in the Tang Dynasty, Xue Li and Qin Huaiyu looked at each other, how proud they were!
The Tang Dynasty had the courage to reduce and reduce so many taxes, thanks to the gold and silver they sent to the Tang Dynasty.
The past few months have brought more gold and silver than anyone imagined. Just when the two were happy there, Xu Yunyan stood up again.
"Since we, the Tang Dynasty, are so dedicated to the people of the world, we and other generals in the Tang Dynasty are even more prepared to die in battle for our country.
No one can be disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty. You cannot get carried away, let alone be proud and complacent. You must protect the long-term peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty no matter what. "
As Xu Yunyan said something like an oath here, many Tang Army generals also stood up and clasped their fists at Xu Yunyan. Firmly agree with what Xu Yunyan said.
Such a lively banquet continued. When the banquet was over, Li Chengqian and Xu Xu Yunyan began to hand over the garrison matters in their hands to Qin Qiong, as well as those that needed attention.
This time Li Chengqian returned with Xu Yunyan and the other soldiers except Xue Li and Qin Huaiyu, leaving behind the landline, Qin Huaiyu and the old soldiers who followed them.
The group of people had just arrived at the beach and couldn't help but sigh when they saw that the size of the Qiongzhou Navy battleship had doubled again. "I never thought that the Tang Dynasty would be so full of combat power. This naval warship can teach any of our Sixteenth Guards of the Tang Dynasty to transport any troops to the place we want in one go.
How dare these small countries like Tianwei not surrender to us? "
Li Chengqian was very happy, and Xu Yunyan looked at the ships piled up with gold and silver, and couldn't help but wonder if he would go to America after occupying the place where Japan produced gold and silver?
What will it look like when Tang Dynasty sergeants appear in America?
There are still many places in America that can produce gold and silver.
However, while Xu Yunyan was sighing here that the rich and fertile territory in America was still empty, a country in America that had become a country in the Tang Dynasty was developing there.
In a rather magnificent palace, Li Chengdao looked at the children spinning around with such joy on their faces.
Not far away from him was a girl dressed in coarse linen, but very happy. She looked at her son, who was also dressed in linen, and Li Chengdao, who had ascended the throne but was not very gorgeous in clothes, and smiled very happily.
The happy look of this family of three made the guards in front of them very happy. Although these guards were older, they all had new ones here. The families all have children.
Although their armors were in pieces, they were still very capable of deterring those who looked like barbarians in the land of their newly founded country, the Tang Dynasty.
Just as this joyful scene continued in this magnificent hall, rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
Several people with slightly darker complexions than Li Chengdaodao entered the hall and knelt down on one knee, reporting the situation in fluent Chinese.
"To report to your majesty, new mineral deposits have been discovered in the east, but they are still not suitable for making iron weapons. I wonder how your majesty will deal with the minerals in the mines here?"
When the general, who looked like he was a local who had learned Chinese after surrendering to Li Chengdao, said this, he took out a bright yellow lump from his arms and raised his hands above his head to show Li Chengdao.
Seeing this pimple, Li Chengdao couldn't help but help his forehead.
"This new land is indeed as Master said, full of opportunities and gold everywhere, but there is too much gold and we can't change what we want!"
Li Chengdao said it half-jokingly. The original guards next to him have now become noble generals leading the party, but he said it here with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. As long as we have more gold, it will be useful sooner or later. We will wait until our country is strong before we go back. We are not allowed to recruit troops. It will be used at that time."
When he talked about going back, Li Chengdao's face looked very unnatural.
Can you still go back?
But after murmuring a few words, Li Chengdao looked at them.
"We want revenge, but we can't let other people be caught in the flames of war."
"Your Majesty is merciful. If your Majesty can really become the emperor of our Tang Dynasty, I don't know what it will be like.
Let Li Shimin, who killed his brother, become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, alas! "
These people were sighing here, but Li Chengdao looked at the atmosphere becoming a little weird because they were talking about these serious things, and the baby who ran into his arms touched his head.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. My father and mother have always been here. You can live here peacefully in the future."
Looking at this somewhat cold scene, Zhang Yue said something.
"Generals, our life is quite good now. Please put aside your hatred, let us establish our country here and develop honestly. When we become strong, maybe Li Tang will bow to us. , isn’t it better than sending our troops on an expedition to increase casualties?”
As soon as Zhang Yue finished speaking, everyone bowed to Zhang Yue.
"What the queen said is reasonable, but we are still far behind Li Tang."
However, they just said here that they were very different from Li Tang, but Zhang Yue disagreed and shook his head.
"I think we have many things that are better than Li Tang. For example, the food we have here. Look, we have a lot of food here that Li Tang doesn't have. This food output is enough to surpass Li Tang by several blocks. Alright?"
When Zhang Yue said this, he pointed to some food carved on the murals around their magnificent palace.
If Xu Yunyan could recognize it here at a glance, what else would it be if it weren't corn? Besides, besides this corn, there seemed to be potatoes among the corn bushes.
These people smiled and nodded when they saw this.
"We don't worry about anything else. Li Tang won't attack us if he doesn't know that we are rich here.
But Xu Yunyan took the salary of His Highness the Crown Prince and didn't think about His Highness. What if he and Li Tang reported the news and took the treasures here to persuade Li Tang to command his troops? What should we do when we come to occupy that time?
If we can come here, they can also come here. "
After these people finished talking and Xu Yunyan had no choice but to do so, Li Chengdao sighed.
"Generals, don't think too much, I believe my master would not treat us like this.
If my master hadn't risked his life to escort me out, how could I be in this situation now? Not to mention having fun with you all over the place. "
Although Li Chengdao said it well, no one present recognized it.
"Your Majesty, people are far apart from each other. It is impossible to say that he would do the outrageous thing that day for the sake of his better development in the future."
The soldiers in front of him kept urging Li Chengdao not to have too many illusions about Xu Yunyan.
But Li Chengdao looked at the soldiers in front of him and sighed.
"I don't know what you are talking about, but how could my master do such a thing? How long have we been here?
It has been two years, and no Tang army has come to chase us for two years. Do you think my master would really do such a thing? "
Although Li Chengdao said it very clearly, these people in front of them seemed to ignore Xu Yunyan, but in the end they still looked at each other here.
Their meaning was very clear. Since their Majesty did not think Xu Yunyan was a threat to them, they would rather kill someone by mistake than let go of anyone who threatened them.
While Li Chengdao and his children and wife continued to have fun in the main hall, these few Li Jiancheng's guards withdrew from the main hall and gathered together to discuss.
"No matter what, we have to build another ship that can go to sea. Although we have built a lot, we can't build it in the right way. There is no way to withstand such a shocking wave. We must find a way to return to Li Tang, and completely Dealing with Xu Yunyan will not bring any threat to us."
"Okay, just as you said, let's find a way. This ship was thought up by people. Wouldn't it be impossible for us to make such a ship without these craftsmen?"
"I have a suggestion."
"That's what you said!"
"It is really not possible to repair our ship. Although it is used to go out to sea again to avoid Li Tang in an emergency, it cannot leave such hidden dangers."
"Okay! Just do as you say. Bring a few craftsmen with you when you finally return."
