    That night, Sizi returned to the palace with red and swollen eyes, and immediately locked himself in the palace, without even eating dinner, until the palace maid finally reported the matter to Empress Changsun, who was worried about her daughter. Empress Changsun came in person.  , Si Zi opened the door, and then told her the story of Qinghe and Gao Yang saying goodbye to her while crying.

    Finally, Si Zi, who was already in her prime, twitched her small nose and sobbed: "Mother, Brother Ninth has to learn from his father to handle government affairs every day. The eldest brother and Sixth Brother are not in Chang'an. Usually, there are only Sister Qinghe and  Sister Gao Yang was able to stay with Si Zi for a while, but now even they have to leave. Si Zi is really uncomfortable! Woo~"

    Having said this, Sizi once again threw himself into the arms of Queen Changsun and cried loudly, and Queen Changsun also stroked her daughter's long hair lovingly. Although Sizi was almost sixteen years old, she would be getting married in two years.  She has grown older, but Si Zi has been doted on by her and Li Shimin since she was a child, so Si Zi's character is still childish and her mind is not very mature.

    For example, a separation like today may make ordinary people feel sad, but they will recover quickly, but for Sizi, it is something that makes her sad for a long time, even if she  The mother's personal comfort may have no effect.

    A few days later, Cheng Huailiang, Qin Huaiyu, Fang Yiai, Li Yexu and others left Chang'an with their families. On the same day, Sizi saw off the two sisters Qinghe and Gaoyang. The three sisters hugged each other and cried, Qinghe and Gao Yang.  Cheng Huailiang's daughter, Mo Qing, also cried while holding the autograph book given to her by Si Zi, and finally waved goodbye to Si Zi.  The tears haven't stopped yet.

    Li Shimin was actually very reluctant to let go of Cheng Huailiang and Qin Huaiyu, the young men who had just grown up in the army.  After all, whether it is Cheng Hualiang or Qin Huaiyu, they are both leaders among the younger generation.  It can be said that as long as they train in the army for a few years, they will definitely become the pillars of the new generation of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, as the emperor, Li Shimin also developed a love for talents and was naturally reluctant to let them leave the Tang Dynasty.

    However, Li Shimin also knew that these young people were not only personal friends of his son Li Min, but each of them also had a heart unwilling to be ordinary. With the current expansion of the Tang Dynasty to its limit, it was no longer enough to support these ambitious people.  Provide a stage for young people to display their talents.  Taiwan is undoubtedly the most suitable place for them.

    It was precisely because of knowing this, and because Li Min and Cheng Huailiang had extraordinary family backgrounds that Li Shimin could only let Cheng Huailiang and the others leave.  In addition, in recent years, the military academy has gradually matured in terms of scale and talent training model. It can provide a considerable number of military talents for Datang every year. Therefore, the departure of Cheng Hualiang and others is not actually a big deal for Datang.  What a loss.

    Cheng Huailiang and others first took a carriage to Zhengzhou via Luoyang, then entered the Yellow River and took a boat to the east.  Half a month later, we entered the Bohai Sea, and then stopped at Dengzhou for a visit. By the way, we transferred to the most popular steam ship, and then headed for Taiwan at an extremely fast speed.

    Early steamships were small in size and consumed water and coal.  And it's easy to go wrong, but even so, with Li Min's support.  This kind of steamship with many problems was still used for practical purposes. At first, it only opened services from Dengzhou to Samhan and Japan.  As well as the two routes from Dengzhou to Shanghai and Taiwan, they are mainly used as passenger ships.  Convenient for passengers who are pressed for time.

    It is also in this process of practical improvement that the performance of steamships has been rapidly improved. Today's steamships are not only larger and faster, but the failure rate of the ship has also been greatly reduced. This has finally made steamships  With the real spring coming, quite a few maritime merchants have upgraded their fleets, eliminating old sailboats and using steamships.

    A few days later, Cheng Huailiang, Qin Huaiyu, and Li Yexu were sitting on the bow of one of the steamship fleets they were riding on, while their family members were standing by the side of the ship on the other side, admiring the scenery on the sea.  landscape.  Although it is said that the whole family is moving, they are still young, so there are not many family members, and the space on the ship is huge, so the three families share a boat, so that not only can they drink and chat, but the family members can also move around each other.  So as not to make the journey too lonely.

    The steamship Cheng Huailiang and the others were riding belonged to Yifan. This was the first steamship in the world to be used for practical maritime operations. It was also one of Li Min's industries, but he and Yifan jointly held shares.  It can be seen from the name of Haiyun.  And after several years of development, Yifan Shipping has become the largest steamship operation in the sea and the coast of Taiwan. Not only do they have steamships along the coast of the sea, but they also have steamships in Southeast Asia and even Ceylon Island in Tianzhu.  A figure running across the sea.

    Nowadays, the shipping industry has become more and more sophisticated. For example, passenger ships are divided into luxury and ordinary types, and Cheng Huailiang and othersGiven their identities, it was natural that they were traveling in a luxury class.  Take the steamship they are on as an example. The entire ship is made of solid pine wood, and the interior decoration is very luxurious. Just take the deck as an example, it is painted extremely clear, and there is a dedicated person to wipe it every hour.  , absolutely spotless.

    In addition, there is also a kitchen on the ship dedicated to serving guests. The meals prepared by the chef are definitely no worse than those in some big hotels. There are even professional singing and dancing personnel on the ship, who can provide performances for the guests during the boring voyage. The waiters on the ship are also all  After special training, all services are strived to be meticulous and thoughtful. It can be said that guests will never feel boring or boring on this kind of ship.

    On one side of the deck, Mr. Qinghe was wearing a gauze skirt and holding a floral silk umbrella. Next to her were her and Cheng Huailiang's three children, as well as Qin Huaiyu and Li Yexu's wives and children enjoying the sea view.  Among them, Qinghe and the other women were holding household items, giggling from time to time, while a group of children were running up and down the deck. The maid who took care of them was worried that these gentlemen would fall into the sea, so they could only follow behind.  run.

    Qinghe's eldest daughter, Mo Qing, was a child, and she and a group of younger brothers and sisters were very naughty. She was just picked up from the side of the ship by the maid, and then she hit seabirds with a slingshot, but I don't know if she did it on purpose or not.  Accidentally, the marbles kept flying towards the three of them who were chatting with each other, Cheng Hualiang. As a result, her father, Cheng Hualiang, was jumping around and scolding her. Unfortunately, this girl didn't care at all.

    "Huailiang, you and Brother Yiai have both been promoted to captains. Now, don't you think it's a pity to leave the army with us little pawns?" Li Yexu took a sip of the juice and joked.  .  It was already early autumn, but the sun was still very fierce. The silk parasols on their heads blocked most of the sunlight. Coupled with the iced juice, they felt extremely refreshing after taking a sip.

    "What is a mere school captain? With our abilities and the relationship between Liulang and us, are we still worried that he will treat us badly after arriving in Taiwan?" Cheng Huailiang just scolded his daughter and sat down with a heavy breath.  Compared to a few years ago, Cheng Huailiang now has a big beard and looks like he is exactly the same as his father, Cheng Yaojin.

    "Haha, that's true. I heard that that boy Jingye is now a general. If he gets promoted one step further, he will be a general. We can't be worse than that boy Jingye!" Li Yexu laughed after hearing this.  Li Jingye is his brother-in-law, and the two of them are also the best in military skills among the people. In the past, Li Yexu wanted to compare Li Jingye to Li Jingye, whether in military academy or in the army. Unfortunately, until Li Jingye went to Taiwan, they did not  A winner can be determined.

    "General? Then we can't fall behind Jingye. No matter what, we have to find a general for Liulang. I have wanted to lead the army independently for a long time!" Cheng Huailiang also said ambitiously after hearing this. As a military general,  Who doesn¡¯t want to lead independently?  It's a pity that their previous level was too low and they had no chance to lead independently.

    However, compared with the confidence of Li Yexu and Cheng Huailiang, Qin Huaiyu, who had never spoken, smiled and said: "Huailiang, Siye, you must not underestimate Jingye now. I heard that he wanted to be with Liulang  Showing off my talents, I first studied at the Naval Academy in Taiwan for a period of time, and then entered the navy to learn the methods of naval warfare from General Lu Qing. Now I am able to stand alone and lead a fleet across the sea. With this alone, the few of us can  Already lagging behind dedication!¡±

    Hearing Qin Huaiyu¡¯s words, Cheng Huailiang and Li Yexu¡¯s faces darkened, because Qin Huaiyu¡¯s words made them realize that they were indeed one step behind Li Jingye.  Apart from anything else, they are all army generals, and they all know little about naval warfare. Unfortunately, the most powerful thing Li Min has is the navy. Li Jingye has already been promoted to brigadier general at a young age, and his future future is very promising.  Limited quantity.

    "Mom, no, I definitely can't lose to that guy Jingye. I have decided that when I get to Taiwan, I will also go to the Naval Academy to study, and then transfer to the Navy for internship. Even if I am temporarily overpowered by him, I will admit it. Whoever loses will lose in the future.  Winning is not guaranteed!" Li Yexu has a temper that refuses to admit defeat, and now he is even more ruthless and wants to catch up with Li Jingye no matter what.

    However, Cheng Huailiang glanced at Li Yexu with some envy, and finally said with some helplessness: "Siye, you still have the ambition, but I am naturally a little afraid of water. It's okay to ride on the boat now, but if I stay on the boat all the time  Fighting, it would be better to kill me, so I will just join the army honestly. I heard that that boy Xue Rengui is now a general in charge of his own affairs. I think I will definitely be able to reach his level in the future.  .¡±

    Xue Rengui was also a student at the military academy and had good friendships with Cheng Huailiang and others. However, when Li Min destroyed Baiji, he chose to leave the military academy and join Li Min's army. Now he has become a general as famous as Hu Li and Su Dingfang.

    Qin Huaiyu also had the same plan as Cheng Hualiang, but he was not afraid of the water, but he felt that he was almost thirty years old and would be unable to transfer to the navy to study, so it was better to stay in the army.  But just when Qin Huaiyu was about to tell her his plan, suddenly Mo Qing and several other children on the other side of the deck cheered loudly, as if they were greeting someone?  (To be continued)
