That night, Wei Zi returned to the palace with red eyes and swollen eyes, and immediately locked herself in the bedroom without even having dinner. It was not until the maid in the palace reported the matter to Empress Changsun. As a result, Empress Changsun, who was worried about her daughter, came here in person, Wei Zi opened the door, and then told Qinghe and Gao Yang's farewell to her while crying.

Finally, the girl in the flowery season, Yizi whimpered while thrusting her small nose: "Mother, Brother Jiu has to learn to handle government affairs with his father every day. Brother and Brother Liu are not in Chang'an. Usually, only Sister Qinghe and Sister Gaoyang can accompany Yizi for a while. Now even they are leaving. Yizi is really uncomfortable! Woo~"

Speaking of this, Wei Zi plunged into Queen Changsun's arms and burst into tears again. Queen Changsun also caressed her daughter's long hair lovingly. Although Wei Zi is almost sixteen years old and will be the age to get married in two years, Wei Zi has been spoiled by her and Li Shimin since she was a child, so Wei Zi is mostly childish and her mind is not very mature.

For example, separation like today may also feel sad for ordinary people, but they will recover soon, but for Yizi, it is something that makes her sad for a long time. Even if her mother's personal comfort is not effective.

A few days later, Cheng Huailiang, Qin Huaiyu, Fang Yiai, Li Yexu and others left Chang'an with their families. On that day, Yizi saw off for Qinghe and Gaoyang's sisters. The three sisters hugged each other and cried. Qinghe and Cheng Huailiang's daughter Mo Qing also cried with the autograph book given to her by Yizi. Finally, when she waved goodbye to Yizi, she couldn't stop her tears.

Li Shimin was actually very reluctant to leave the young and strong sects that had just grown up in the army, such as Cheng Huailiang and Qin Huaiyu. After all, whether it was Cheng Huailiang or Qin Huaiyu, they were all the best among the younger generation. It can be said that as long as they practiced in the army for a few years, they would definitely become the pillars of the new generation of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Therefore, as the emperor, Li Shimin also developed a love for talents, so naturally he was reluctant to let them leave the Tang Dynasty.

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

It is precisely because of this that Li Yan and Cheng Huailiang's family background, so Li Shimin could only let Cheng Huailiang and his friends leave. In addition, in recent years, the military academy has gradually matured in terms of scale and talent training model, and can provide a considerable number of military talents for the Tang Dynasty every year. Therefore, Cheng Huailiang and his friends' departure is actually not a loss to the Tang Dynasty.

Cheng Huailiang and his team first took a carriage and arrived in Zhengzhou via Luoyang, then entered the Yellow River channel, and headed east by boat. Half a month later, they entered the Bohai Sea, and then stopped in Dengzhou to visit, and then transferred to the most popular steamboat now, and then headed to Taiwan at an extremely fast speed.

Early steam ships were small in size, consumed water and coal, and were prone to problems. However, even so, with the support of Li Yan, steam ships with many problems were used for practical purposes. Only the two routes, including Dengzhou to Sanhan, Japan, Dengzhou to Shanghai and Taiwan, were opened, mainly as passenger ships, which were convenient for passengers who were relatively urgent.

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 also have greatly reduced the failure rate of ships. This has finally ushered in the real spring of steamships. A lot of maritime merchants have upgraded their fleets and eliminated old sailing ships and used steamships.

A few days later, one of the steam fleets Cheng Huailiang and his friends rode on, Cheng Huailiang, Qin Huaiyu and Li Yexu sat opposite each other, while the family members of the three stood by the side of the boat on the other side, enjoying the scenery on the sea. Although the whole family was relocating, they were all young, so there were not many families. In addition, the space on the boat was huge, so the three families took the same boat together, so that not only could they drink and chat, but the family members could also walk around each other so as not to be too lonely on the journey.

The steamship Cheng Huailiang and his friends rode on belonged to Yifanhai. This is the first steamship in the world to use it for practical sea operations and is also one of Li Yan's industries. However, he and Yifan jointly hold shares, which can be seen from the name of the sea operations. Moreover, after several years of development, Yifanhai has become the largest steamship in the sea operations in the sea and the coast of Taiwan. Not only does they have their steamships along the sea, but also Yifanhaihai operations in the South Ocean and even Ceylon Island in India.

The current marine operation industry has become more and more refined. For example, for passenger ships, they have already divided into luxury and ordinary types. With Cheng Huailiang and others, they naturally ride in luxury. Taking the steam ship where they are as an example, the entire ship is made of solid pine wood, and the interior decoration is very luxurious. Taking the deck as an example, it is extremely clear with paint brushes, and there will be someone to wipe it every time, which is absolutely spotless.

In addition, there is a kitchen dedicated to serving guests on the boat. The food cooked by the chef is definitely not worse than that of some big hotels. The boat is even equipped with professional singers and dancers who can provide performances for guests during boring sailing. The waiters on the boat have also undergone special training and strive to be meticulous and thoughtful in all services. It can be said that riding in this kind of boat will definitely not make guests feel bored and bored.

On one side of the deck, Qinghe Gong was wearing a gauze skirt and holding a silk umbrella in his hand. He was surrounded by her and Cheng Huailiang's three children, and Qin Huaiyu and Li Yexu's wife and children were enjoying the sea view. Among them, Qinghe and the women were joking with family and giggling from time to time, while a group of children ran up the deck. The maid who was taking care of them was worried that these young ladies would fall into the sea, so they could only run with them.

Qinghe's eldest daughter Mo Qing is a child, and she is very naughty with her younger brothers and sisters. She was just carried off the side of the boat by the maid and then took a slingshot to hit the seabird. But I don't know whether she did it on purpose or accidentally, so the gangster kept flying towards Cheng Huailiang and the other two who were chatting. As a result, her father Cheng Huailiang jumped and scolded her, but unfortunately this girl didn't care at all.

"Huailiang, you and Yi Ai brother have been promoted to lieutenant, but now they are leaving the army with us pawns. Wouldn't it be a pity?" Li Yexu took the juice and sipped it, and then joked. It's early autumn now, but the sun is still very vicious. The silk parasol on their heads blocked most of the sunlight, and with the iced juice, I felt extremely cool after taking a sip.

"What is a mere lieutenant? With our ability and our relationship with Liulang, are you still worried that he will treat us badly after you arrive in Taiwan?" Cheng Huailiang had just scolded his daughter and sat down with a breath. Compared to a few years ago, Cheng Huailiang now has a big beard and looks like he is carved out of the same mold as his father Cheng Yaojin.

"Haha, that's right, I heard that the boy Jingye is now a general, and he will become a general after another step. No matter how good we are, 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 military strategy among the people. In the past, Li Yexu wanted to compare Li Jingye in military academy or in the army. Unfortunately, they couldn't decide the outcome until Li Jingye went to Taiwan.

"General Lang? Then we can't fall behind the dedication. No matter what, we have to ask Liulang for a general. I have been trying to lead the army independently for a long time!" Cheng Huailiang also said ambitiously after hearing this. As a general, who doesn't want to lead the army independently? Unfortunately, their level was too low before and there was no chance to lead the army independently.

However, compared to Li Yexu and Cheng Huailiang's confidence, Qin Huaiyu, who had not spoken, smiled and said, "Huailiang, Siye, you must not underestimate Jingye now. I heard that in order to show his strength in Liulang, he first studied at the Naval Academy in Taiwan for a while, and then entered the navy to learn the method of naval warfare from General Lu Qing. Now he can stand alone and lead a fleet across the sea. With this alone, we have fallen behind Jingye!"

When they heard Qin Huaiyu's words, Cheng Huailiang and Li Yexu's faces also darkened, because Qin Huaiyu's words made them realize that they were indeed one step behind Li Jingye. Not to mention anything else, they were all army generals and had only a slight understanding of naval battles. Unfortunately, the most powerful person in Li Yan's hands was the navy. Li Jingye had already become a brigade general at a young age, and his future was unlimited.

"Damn it, no, I can't lose to that guy Jingye. I decided to go to the Naval Academy to study in Taiwan, and then transfer to the Navy internship. Even if he is temporarily suppressed, I will admit it. It may not be necessary for who will lose and who will win in the future!" Li Yexu was a unyielding person, and now he is even more ruthless. He will catch up with Li Jingye no matter what.

But Huailiang looked at Li Yexu with some envy, and finally said helplessly: "It's Siye that you have ambition, but I'm a little afraid of water, and it's okay to take a boat now, but if I stay on the boat for many years, it's better to take my fortune, so I'd rather join the army honestly. I heard that Xue Rengui is already a general who stands alone, and I believe I will definitely be able to get to his point in the future."

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