The situation in Somalia has been temporarily stable due to this rapidly victorious local war, and there are only two countries connected to Somalia on land, one is Ethiopia and the other is Kenya. Now Ethiopia, the strongest of the two countries, was defeated by Somalia, and Kenya chose to live in peace with Somalia because of the lessons of Ethiopia, which made the people of M helpless to Somalia for a while. During such a peaceful period, Li Ran led a robot army to carry out rapid and rapid industrial construction in Somalia.

Li Ran was busy with Somalia, while Li Yan arrived in the Philippine colony. Since the fourth generation of equipment was delivered to the army, the Yizhou army has been learning how to use these equipment in the Philippines. Now more than half a year has passed. Under the training of Terminator, soldiers can skillfully operate Hummer military vehicles and machine guns. After all, Li Yan was never afraid of them wasting bullets and gasoline. All the purpose was to let them practice it themselves, rather than sitting in the room to learn theory.

Today, Li Yan was wearing a military uniform in the army, but this uniform was also transformed from liquid metal. Now that the soldiers in Yizhou have so many modern weapons to kill, he had to consider his safety and patrol for a while, Li Yan was satisfied with the soldiers' proficiency in using equipment. Now the combat methods of these soldiers are basically no different from modern tactics.

"Your Highness, we have enough ability to start a war against the Great Food Kingdom." Qin Huaiyu was very confident. Now the soldiers are holding weapons that are incomparable to the past. Not to mention automatic rifles, but also weapons such as heavy machine guns and grenades, and the power of artillery has been greatly improved. He believes that a force of one thousand people can capture a small country.

Zhu Youzhidao: "The morale of the soldiers is very high now. Last time we suffered a little loss in the Great Food Country, they all shouted to take revenge."

Last time a thirty-man reconnaissance team was surrounded and intercepted by thousands of cavalrymen of the Great Seal Kingdom in the Great Seal Kingdom. All thirty soldiers were killed. The weapons in their hands were also taken away by the Great Seal Kingdom. They wanted to go deep into the Great Seal Kingdom to take revenge, but at this time Li Yan asked them to evacuate from the Great Seal Kingdom to adapt to the new equipment. They had to return to the Philippines base for training. Now everything is ready, and they naturally want to take revenge. "Hmph, this is not your fault. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. You are too arrogant and let thirty soldiers go deep alone. Is that just a decoration? Facing the cavalry's charge, what's the use of thirty guns!"

Zhu Youzhi looked embarrassed. He made this decision. In the past, he would not make this mistake. However, wherever he came to Yizhou Army during this period, he was invincible. He was also blinded by this victory. Some of the deployment mistakes were full of misunderstandings. "Your Highness, this is the fault of the minister."

Looking at the dozens of steel warships anchored on the ocean, Li Yan said: "Give me a lesson and learn from it. Don't underestimate our enemies at any time, otherwise we will always suffer in the end. Do you know why I want to replace the fourth-generation equipment?"

"It's really to be able to defeat the Great Food Kingdom." Zhu Youzhidao.

"This is just one reason." Li Yan narrowed his eyes, "Speaking of the industrial reform in Yizhou, we have been going on for five or six years. In the past five or six years, various technologies and crafts have been in full swing, and more and more workers have mastered these technologies. In recent years, Yizhou merchants have traveled almost all over the world. Merchants are pursuing profits, so they naturally sell whatever they make money. This naturally includes some industrial technologies, our iron craftsmanship, and the secret of gunpowder is not a secret. A year ago, Wuhou arrested a group of people, among which we retired soldiers, and they used the materials purchased in Yizhou to create a batch of guns. Although it was only the level of the first generation of guns, it was enough to illustrate the problem. The gun manufacturing process is no longer a secret."

"Damn it, which soldier I went to kill them." Qin Huaiyu said angrily when he heard this. He naturally understood what Li Yan meant. Although the guns of this first generation were not very powerful, if these equipment were spread, it would pose a great threat to the soldiers.

Li Yan waved his hand, "No need, they naturally have laws to punish. Nowadays, business in Yizhou is very active, and we cannot monitor everyone, especially these profit-seeking merchants. Steamboats allow them to see huge wealth overseas. These soldiers confessed that their guns were made for some merchants, whose purpose was to plunder wealth, gold mines, gems, and slaves overseas, which were enough to make the merchants take risks."

"Then can't we find a way to control it?" Zhu Youzhidao: "If these illegal merchants were allowed to set up armed fleets, it would not be a good thing for us. Our colonies were spread overseas, and they would definitely look for supplies in our colonies."

Li Yan also wanted to find a way to solve the problem of private firearms by the people, but the facts told him that it was basically impossible to eliminate it. The Z country in modern society has such strict control over firearms, but any gang involved in gangs can find firearms. These firearms did not fall from the sky, and were all privately imitated by the people. Su Moer was also very troubled about this problem. The Tang Dynasty was too large and the population was sparse, and there were deep mountains and forests everywhere. Some illegal merchants could easily find secret dens. "I have asked Wuhou to severely investigate this matter and let them strictly control the enterprises that produce steel pipes. Although this can reduce the occurrence of similar situations, you must also be mentally prepared and strengthen your vigilance against maritime merchants. In the case of Shanghai merchants, they may be pirates behind their backs."

"Yes, we understand." The two said in unison.

Li Yan nodded after hearing this. During these years, Li Yan has been observing the changes brought to Yizhou by industrialization. It has to be said that industrial ** has made the lives of the people in Yizhou and even the Tang Dynasty more and more prosperous, but everything has advantages and disadvantages. The improvement of material life has inspired everyone's inner suffering. They all want to have more money to get more material enjoyment, so some bold and arrogant people turned their attention overseas. In the Tang Dynasty, they dare not do anything because this is their own country, and they also have strong arms and strict laws.

But overseas they are like wild beasts out of their cages, and for those who want to obtain wealth illegally, guns are undoubtedly their best tools. Li Yan, who was watching all this coldly, suddenly understood a truth. A great era of navigation has arrived, but unlike modern time and space, this great era of navigation began in the Tang Dynasty, and the people who dominate the ocean were the Tang people. At the same time, he had to start to worry about a problem that would inevitably arise in the Great Era, that is, the rise of pirate forces. Li Yan still remembered that in the Western era, many soldiers took warships to rebel from the army and became pirates, and he had no choice but to guard against this problem.

After explaining the matter of two people defending pirates and strengthening the management of weapons and equipment, the three of them were about to board a cruiser. At this time, Li Yan's phone suddenly rang, and Cui Yingying's voice came from inside.

"What's the matter?" Cui Yingying's tone was a little anxious, and Li Yan asked.

"The emperor's grandfather has ascended to heaven." Cui Yingying said slowly.

"When did it happen?" Li Yan has been staying in the Philippines these days and does not understand the matter in Yizhou.

"It was last night, and he didn't wake up again after falling asleep." Cui Yingying told Li Yan about the incident.

"Haven has you notified me?" Li Yan asked.

"After notifying me, my father told me to transport the body of the emperor and grandfather to Chang'an."

"I understand, I'll go back now." Li Yan said and hung up the phone. Li Yuan is now 77 years old. When his illness was cured, Sun Simiao told him that Li Yuan's body could not last for a few years, but unexpectedly this fact came true.

When Zhu Youzhi and Qin Huaiyu saw Li Yan's face suddenly darkened and asked, "Your Highness, what happened?"

"The Supreme Emperor has passed away. You can go to Chang'an with me." Li Yan said to the two. Li Yuan has lived in Yizhou for five or six years and is very familiar with both of them. Moreover, they are important officials in Yizhou, so there is no reason not to go.

"Yes." Both of them nodded at the same time.

The two of them explained what was at hand. Li Yan took the two back to Yizhou by plane. At this time, Li Yuan's body had been placed in the car to Chang'an. The prince's mansion and the three princes also returned from the school. Speaking of which, because of Li Shimin's cold relationship with Li Yuan in the past, Li Shimin's children did not have a strong relationship with Li Yuan, but their daily life in Yizhou over the years has made them feel a little emotional about Li Yuan. The two and the three smaller princes had already cried. Li Ke also rushed over from Jingzhou. His expression was so sad, but he did not cry at Li Yuan's body like other princes. It was Cui Yingying and the Princess of Wu who kept sobbing.

"Liu Lang." Seeing Li Yan coming in a hurry, Li Ke said: "The emperor's grandfather went there very peacefully. Alas, life and death are destined, and it is impossible to force it without human power."

Li Yan sighed, feeling a little sad, and said, "Let's take the body of the emperor's grandfather to Chang'an, and be buried as soon as possible."

Li Ke nodded and said, "By the way, there is another letter, which is said to have been written by the emperor's grandfather that night, and asked you to pass it on to your father. The emperor's grandfather seemed to understand that he could not stand it." After that, Li Ke handed over a sealed letter to Li Yan.

"Letter?" Li Yan took the thick letter and thought that Li Yuan might have some things to explain to Li Shimin, so he put them away.

After comforting everyone, Li Yan suppressed his depression. After all, he still needed to take charge of the overall situation here. He could not cry sadly and unscrupulously like other princes. He arranged related matters. He and the members of the royal family took Li Yuan's body to Chang'an together.r1152
