Datang Fenghua Road

hum, hum!

The iron-clad ship made a muffled sound, and then the huge ship shook. Everyone on the shore saw the muddy waves on the water, and then heard the sound of pushing water from the bottom of the river.

"Brother, walk slowly all the way..."

Li Chengqian stood up abruptly from the ground and shouted at the ironclad ship.

After shouting, he knelt down again, choked with tears and said: "Father, Queen, if Lingnan is difficult to open, I hope to come back soon."

Li Shimin laughed and laughed, but Empress Changsun wiped her eyes and tears. The royal family on the shore knelt down and waved their hands, watching the ironclad ship gradually change from slow speed to speeding.

Riding the wind and breaking the waves, the roar shook the sky, and a Wei River flowed eastward.

At this time, I heard a few gunshots not far away, and I suddenly felt the earth under my feet swaying, but when I saw the dust and wolf smoke in the distance, there was a thunderous sound of horse hooves.

Amidst the sound of hoofs, someone could vaguely hear someone shouting loudly and shouting: "Three guards in the West House, gallop with all your strength, Your Highness will take the water road, and we will take the dry road. Here we will go five thousand miles to the south of the Five Ridge Mountains, and build a bridge along the way. Brothers, Let's start the journey again."

Rumble!

The hoofs were thundering, and the earth shook.

Countless people on the shore stood on their feet and looked out, looking at the dusty wolf smoke ahead with envy.

His Majesty is gone, and the former Emperor His Majesty is also gone, taking away 50 troops of the Three Guards of the Western Mansion. Going to Lingnan will surely open up a new world for the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that Lingnan is so vast that there are almost two countries in the Central Plains, and it is also heard that His Royal Highness will open up overseas territories, and Lingnan and overseas will definitely be extremely rich.

In ancient times, Lingnan generally refers to starting from southern Jiangsu, including Zhejiang Fujian, Guangdong Guangxi, Hunan Jiangxi, then Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, the entire Southeast Asia, and even most of South Asia...

These lands have always been part of China and have been recorded in historical books since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Li Chengqian slowly stood up from the ground, and suddenly he raised his head to the sky and uttered the sound of a rumbling emperor, and said loudly: "Decree, decree, Shandong, Henan, Jianghuai, and Hebei will each receive 50 civilian husbands, and another 400 will be drawn from Guanlong. One hundred thousand was drawn from Bashu, and one hundred thousand from all the other provinces of the Tang Dynasty. A total of [-] million immigrants will be assembled, and they will go to Lingnan in batches within five years. The eldest brother wants to open up mountains and rivers, so he must not be left without people to use..."

The immigration order is the most powerful immigration order since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. If it goes back to the past dynasties, it is probably the most massive immigration order.

The first imperial edict of Li Chengqian's succession to the throne was not to promote himself, but to directly issue an immigration order on the banks of the Weishui River.

Since ancient times, the emperor ordered, and his own ministers listened respectfully. The 400 million civilians need to be recruited slowly. Once it starts, it is likely that they will drag their families along the road together. This will be the biggest test of the Li Chengqian Dynasty, and it will also be whether the entire Tang Dynasty can take off. greatest test.

When the people go to Lingnan, the Central Plains will inevitably vacate countless land, and the more land will be cheaper, and it will slow down the destruction of the country caused by land annexation.

Then Lingnan was slowly developed, and there was an influx of wealth from overseas. At that time, the Tang Dynasty would inevitably have strong national power from generation to generation, and it may not be changed for a hundred and a thousand years.

It was late autumn, and the cold winter was approaching, and suddenly there was a cold north wind, blowing the water of the Weihe River.

Li Chengqian stood by the river with his hands behind his back, looking at the direction in which the ironclad ship was no longer in sight, Hou Haitang led Li Xiang over slowly, suddenly sighed softly, and said quietly, "It's alright to leave, eldest brother, lest you be in your heart. It's always embarrassing."

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at his wife.

Now that he became the emperor, Hou Haitang naturally became the new queen. Then, there was not a trace of joy on the face of the Tang queen, but instead there was a strong sense of grief between her brows.

Li Chengqian suddenly sighed and said with a sad face: "The throne was given by the eldest brother, and the inheritance was also given by the eldest brother. In fact, what you said just now is wrong, and I don't feel embarrassed..."

After he finished speaking, he slowly leaned down, bent over and touched Li Xiang's little head, Li Chengqian's eyes had deep love, and suddenly said warmly: "Xiang'er, your uncle is leaving today, I see a lot of reluctance in your eyes. Father knows that your uncle has taught you a lot of things, I wonder if there are poems like farewell?"

Li Xiang tilted his head and thought for a while, then slowly shook his small head and said solemnly: "What my uncle taught me were all words of joy and encouragement, and there were no words of farewell and sadness."

Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully, and muttered to himself: "Yes, your uncle is all over the world, and there is no difficulty and sorrow in his eyes. Others will hurt and leave, but he will never hurt. Although Lingnan is far away, it is also a big thing in his heart. Don."

Turning to Hou Haitang, she whispered, "How about you, do you have a farewell poem? Don't hesitate too much, it's just you and my family here, the other royal families are far away, they can't hear our conversation... "

Hou Haitang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty with a complicated expression. He was his husband in name, but he never touched her from beginning to end.

Li Chengqian's eyes were very calm, and he sighed again and looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, and said softly, "If you have any words of farewell, just say it boldly. This time I should have let you and my eldest brother leave together, but you also know that I need face when I first ascended the throne. For the sake of my face, I have to keep you in the palace, I owe it, so I feel very uncomfortable."

He said and looked at Hou Haitang again, with a complicated expression on his face, but he opened his mouth to encourage him, and said solemnly: "I'll go to the back to help you drive away the crowd, and you can take your child and say goodbye by the river..."

"Send each other?"

Hou Haitang murmured and turned to look at the east of the Weishui River, only to see that the sky and the water were passing over and the waves were shining, but the iron-clad battleship had long since disappeared.

She looked a little distressed, and subconsciously hugged Li Xiang in her arms. Li Xiang was a smart little guy, and he had already heard something unusual from his "parents". The direction the uncle left.

Li Chengqian suddenly took off his feet, climbed all the way to the bank and walked into the crowd, and then it seemed that he had given an order, and everyone on the banks of the Weihe River began to evacuate.

After a long time, the shore gradually became deserted.

Li Xiang stuck his head out and looked back a few times, and said to Hou Haitang in a low voice, "Empress mother, everyone has left, and the royal father ordered everyone to leave, it seems that the third uncle followed and ordered everyone to leave..."

Hou Haitang's delicate body was shocked, and then she grabbed her son with her hands.

She took two steps forward abruptly, and sang a song aloud. The song was melodious and graceful, but it sounded with a deep sense of love:

"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue and green, the evening wind blows the willow flute, and the setting sun is outside the mountain. The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, half of the friends are scattered, a cup of cooking wine is full of joy, don't dream of a cold tonight..."

During the singing, tears fell in clusters, and Li Xiang wisely stretched out his little hand and slowly wiped away the tears for his mother.

On the shore in the distance, Li Chengqian and Li Tai walked slowly. They heard Ruo Ruowu singing in the wind, and suddenly sighed at the same time.

Li Tai glanced at Li Chengqian, and suddenly gritted his teeth: "If you want me to say that you don't want this face at all, seeing how pitiful Sister-in-law Haitang is, you have the heart to let her stay in the Qing Leng Palace? Big brother has given you and me a lot, why do we Being a younger brother can't be reciprocated?"

Li Chengqian was stunned for a long time, and after a long time he said dully: "One year, it only needs to be delayed for one year. After a year, I will find an excuse and say that Haitang is sick and will die..."

Li Tai snorted and said, "I can remember this. Don't blame me for scolding people if you dare to go back one year later."

Li Chengqian smiled a few times and looked back at Weihe.

On the bank of the river, Hou Haitang hugged Li Xiang and was still singing. Although her son kept wiping her tears, tears still fell from her eyes.

Li Xiang suddenly looked at the shore, then carefully pulled Hou Haitang's clothes, and asked gently, "Mother, tell me, the child's father is the uncle, right?"

Hou Haitang's body swayed again, and she reached out to cover Li Xiang's mouth subconsciously.

However, her action revealed everything in an instant. Li Xiang's pitch-black eyeballs kept rolling, and the little guy was a little overjoyed. He suddenly felt that he no longer had to envy the bad guy Li Tianying.

Just because they have a great dad in common.

The Weihe River is tattered, the north wind is sluggish, and the ironclad ships are galloping down the current. It really feels like a gallop.

There are people standing everywhere on the ship, Li Shimin is playing with the children, the eldest grandson, Doudou and others are watching the waves, Lao Cheng and other princes are dancing on the deck, and some old guys who understand water even want to jump off. The battleship goes to catch fish.

At this time, the rising sun on the eastern horizon was rising, and the vast sun was shooting fish and dragons dancing wildly on the river. Han Yue stood on the bow of the battleship with his hands behind his back.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, and it seemed that someone was approaching cautiously. Han Yue turned his head to take a look, and said with a smile: "Not bad, after changing into a girl's costume, it really looks like a country."

It turned out that it was Wu Zhao who was close to him. The girl's pretty face had a feeling of peerless elegance. Han Yue had only seen this kind of appearance on a woman, and that was his wife, Youyou Saintess, who was far away in the grasslands.

Wu Zhao slowly seemed to be a little seasick, with a pale face on her face, she supported Chuan Bang and slowly approached, and suddenly whispered: "Your Highness, I found something on the silver, this silver was given to a strange man on the day of the township test. My, I just realized today that this silver is a bit special."
