Chapter 616 back
Jinyang followed Empress Changsun, while Li Lizhi walked over gently and looked at Huo Gang and said softly: "You have lost weight again, it's been a lot of hard time."
"It's nothing, it's far from those soldiers stationed on the frontier." Huo Gang shook his head. He was telling the truth. He was surrounded by his own people, so he didn't need to play with any noble character or personality.
Because Huo Gang was indeed deeply touched, from ancient times to the present, Central Plains culture has never lacked loyal soldiers. Think about the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty in history. After losing contact with the Tang Dynasty for decades, it lasted for more than 50 years, and the soldiers in the entire city became old. They have been persisting.
What kind of spirit is this?
Therefore, there have been countless loyal people in the Central Plains culture from ancient times to the present, and there are also great Han people. Don’t think that the Turks seem to have become accustomed to escaping and surrendering, but in fact it is not the case. The reason why they did not do this before was because they lacked the goal to fight for it.
But now it is different. All the Turks of the Han Dynasty believe in the Haotian Sect. Huo Gang is the only belief in their minds. It is different from the vague belief of the Changshengtian in the past. Now their beliefs have become extremely firm. In the past eight or nine years, Huo Gang has made these Turks understand that they have a better life with Huo Gang.
Now their lives are not so great that they dare not think about before, even the Turkic nobles in the past dare not think about it!
So now the soldiers of the Han Dynasty are no longer dominated by the four armies summoned by Huo Gang. Although they are still the main force of the Han army, people like He Modu have actually filled the entire Han Dynasty. For the Turks who are now integrated into the Han Dynasty, they have already thrown the original names of Turks, Tiele, Rouran and other names behind their heads.
Now they only have two words, Dahan!
Those who were stationed in the northern and eastern frontiers were Turks because they were better at living in such an environment. Although Huo Gang tried hard to replenish supplies to them in such places, it was impossible for them to be of the same level as the defenders in Jiayuguan and other places.
So their life was actually quite difficult, but when Huo Gang passed, each of them smiled from the bottom of their hearts, saying, in their words, they are now raising cattle and sheep around them. Although the number is not large, it is enough for them to replenish cow and goat milk.
Huo Gang would transport them flour and potatoes to them, and in winter they would transport them a lot of pork. They would refine the pork into lard locally, put it into a huge pottery, and store it in the dug out underground cellar, which allowed them to eat meat and oil in summer. Their lives were many times better than before.
Moreover, their clothes now have cotton jackets made of cotton in winter, and new clothes in summer. Their daily tasks are to patrol the border and train. That's all, what are they not satisfied with?
Huo Gang didn't know how to respond to their words, so he could only say thank you for your hard work.
Because these soldiers are really not easy to live, people have desires. In places like the Turks in the past, there must be small tribes, and their women must follow them, but the Han army was the route of professional army, and the same was true for the training and the education they received.
So this hole cannot be opened. Although it is very simple to mobilize their families to form a small tribe nearby, it will be difficult to open such a hole. The will of steel and the iron-blooded military spirit will always be passed down from generation to generation.
So after Huo Gang has decided to return, he will give these legions stationed on the frontier next year a separate banner. Just like the heroic teams in later generations, Huo Gang is also ready to do this. Such an army will have military souls. If these military souls are passed down, it can be said that they will not be ruined.
"Well, so you should take care of your health, so that you can make the man stronger. One day, the train and road arrive where they are, so they will naturally not have to work hard." Li Lizhi said with a clever smile.
Huo Gang smiled, and simply reached out to hug Li Lizhi into her arms, sniffed her hair hard, and then said, "Don't worry, your husband is in good health. Sooner or later, you will know that you are about to be sixteen."
When Li Lizhi's pretty face turned red when she heard Huo Gang say this, she naturally didn't say anything more. After chatting for a few words, Huo Gang quickly returned to her villa.
Empress Changsun does not live here, nor does Jinyang do. They all live in another villa next door. The entire Chief Mansion has built several villas this year. According to the subsequent plan, there are about fifteen such villas.
In addition, there are some places where servants live. The Han Dynasty cannot be like the Tang Dynasty, and eunuchs and other eunuchs are destined to be impossible. Huo Gang is not prepared to ask for it. The servants who work here are mainly women, but they can all get married.
Of course, these are all strictly trained existences similar to intelligence personnel. Don’t worry about loyalty issues, and their identity and background are also under the responsibility of the Ministry of Security. As for the others, there are too many women around Huo Gang, so he cannot take them all in.
He had already asked Mingyue to pay attention. For example, the maids such as Mudan who had been working outside, if they had a crush on each other, it would be normal for them to get married. I guess those who could stay with Huo Gang were the only ones who would be Xia Zhu and Wanshuang in the end.
Back in his room, Huo Gang finished washing up under the servitude of Wanshuang. After he came out, he sat down on the sofa. Li Lizhi walked over and leaned over, letting herself lean into Huo Gang's arms. Li Lizhi said softly: "Husband, mother is ready to go back."
"Hmm? Is it so early? Didn't it be said for a year?" Huo Gang was stunned. Since Li Lizhi told him, it was obvious that Empress Changsun had already greeted her.
"She said that her body had completely recovered, and not only that, she was even healthier than before. She could feel it herself, and mainly because she had asked Minister Sun, and Minister Sun also gave a positive answer, so the queen decided to go back. She said that she had been bothering you for too long. The most important thing is that Jinyang's health is also good, so it's time to go back." Li Lizhi said seriously.
"Okay, since my mother is ready to go back, then everything you should prepare for them is ready." Huo Gang thought for a while, then spoke seriously.
"Well, no problem. I have prepared a lot of things for me, mainly for food and drink." Li Lizhi said with a smile. Although she didn't know much about the Tang Dynasty now, she knew that the food between the Tang Dynasty was much worse than that.
The man has many delicacies that are not constantly developed, and many of them are created by her husband. I don’t know where he came from his mind. It’s winter now, and the seafood sent from the Continent can be brought to Datang. Now the outdoor weather is the best refrigerator, so don’t worry about any damage.
Seafood is indeed the best food that Li Lizhi has ever eaten. Those strange crabs, all kinds of fish are completely different from river fish, and there are also lobsters, etc. These are all things that her father has never eaten.
The Tang Dynasty actually did not lack seafood, but not many people could be transported to Chang'an. Of course, many fishermen did not dare to eat the things in the sea. Some were not cooked reasonably, and some were naturally because of the wrong production method that made these seafood very unpalatable.
Some people have actually eaten something like crabs in the Han Dynasty, but there are too many types of this thing.
In addition, there are oils, various stir-frying dishes, etc.
Li Lizhi has already prepared these things, and it is really not easy to buy them in Chang'an.
"Well, you can also prepare some other things, such as the most advanced telescope." Huo Gang thought about it. Dahan's optical lens development has been constantly improving since the development of glass. Optical principles such as convex lenses and concave lenses are no secret in Dahan's school.
Now Dahan's medical school can accurately create some optical microscopes with a magnification of 500 times. The limit of optical microscopes is 2,000 times, and it is more difficult to improve the technology. However, even 500 times is enough to allow Dahan to establish a modern medical system that is not many times ahead of this era.
For example, the red blood cells in the human blood can be seen, which is also the reason why Sun Simiao has appeared less recently, or... this is also the reason why he told Queen Changsun in advance that she could go back, because he no longer wants to run around and wants to continue research.
"You'll just decide on these things, but I don't understand them." Li Lizhi smiled. She knew that these things were very cash-free, but she could give them, and she didn't know what they could not give them.
"Well, in this way, let Xia Zhu prepare some books on sextant and astronomy and geography to send them to the Tang Dynasty." Huo Gang thought about it and prepared another gift.
The emergence of sextant has no doubt about its role in navigation. Although the use of sextant is not something that ordinary people can learn, it requires very detailed astronomical knowledge. The most important thing is that it must know time when measuring.
The Middle Ages currently determined by the Han Dynasty was actually determined according to the precise Ages of later generations, and there is also a complete set of astrological data, that is, the height position of the sun at this time point in the past years, and other data. These data are not a secret in later generations.
But in this era, it takes time to accumulate, and the part in Huo Gang's hand is provided by the Spirit of the Jade Gate.
For example, the Dahan Ocean Fleet, which had already set out, has prepared sextant to position itself to prevent them from getting lost.
"Yes." Li Lizhi nodded.
"I'll give you what else you should give, and the rest is what Jinyang wants to take away. Let's see if she likes everything she likes." Huo Gang said with a smile.
Li Lizhi opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but in the end she still held back and said nothing.
In fact, there was something Li Lizhi didn't tell Huo Gang, but Empress Changsun told her that the other most important reason why Empress Changsun wanted to go back early was Jinyang. Jinyang became like this today, and Empress Changsun dared not let her continue to stay here. Of course, it was not because Jinyang became a wild child.
This Empress Changsun doesn't care, because of Jinyang's childhood experience. As a mother, who doesn't want her child to become healthier? Although Jinyang is a little crazy now, it means that she is a healthy child. Looking at her body, she has never had any illness after she came to the man.
Empress Changsun was worried about another thing, that is, the relationship between Jinyang and Huo Gang. Jinyang is now too attached to Huo Gang, and this attachment is obviously not targeting the elders. Even though Jinyang is still young now, as time goes by, the relationship between Jinyang and Huo Gang will inevitably deteriorate.
How old will Huo Gang be? Could it be that Jinyang will marry Huo Gang too? The princess of the Tang Dynasty cannot marry the same person, even if Huo Gang is powerful, it will not work. Do you still want the face of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty?
This is because Huo Gang has not been in the big man for a long time this year. Huo Gang will be back next year and will stay for several months. Isn’t the relationship between Jinyang and Huo Gang getting better and better? It is even more inseparable.
That's why Empress Changsun wanted to take Jinyang back quickly and stay away from him. After returning, she asked Li Shimin to educate her well and find a good family for her in the future.
Empress Changsun also told Li Lizhi about these things. Although Jinyang is still a child, it seems not good to say this, Li Lizhi thought about it for a while and it is indeed right to plan ahead. She knew that her husband had never thought about it, but it was precisely because of this that Jinyang would feel even more uncomfortable in the future.
"Well, I know, husband, don't worry, I will arrange these things." Li Lizhi nodded.
Empress Changsun had a anxious temper, or she did this on purpose. Since she said she was leaving, she would no longer refuse. Eight days after Huo Gang came back, Empress Changsun left Yumen Pass, and Jinyang and her younger sister, who was still a little girl, naturally went back together.
Since she knew she was leaving, Jinyang was not in a high mood. She stopped going out to play. She stayed at home every day and followed Huo Gang. However, her performance surprised Huo Gang and Li Lizhi, that is, although she was in a low mood, she did not make any noise or cry.
Just saying goodbye to everyone she knew reluctantly, the most important thing was naturally Huo Gang and Li Lizhi.
The moment the train car door closed, Empress Changsun, who was standing beside Jinyang, noticed that the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back, and she threw herself into Empress Changsun's arms and cried out with a "wow".
Queen Changsun sighed and said nothing, just hugged her body and comforted her softly: "Okay, don't cry anymore. Now that the train is like this, you won't have a chance to come in the future, right?"
