"Be careful when you go out. The army is hard. These are some chili sauces that I brought back from my hometown. I am afraid that you will not be used to the food in the army!" Mrs. Tang said as she tied several cans of spicy sauce that had been packed behind Tang Jian's saddle.

"Well, I know, Mother, your son is not young anymore, I still understand this. The food in the army is pretty good. You forgot that I am responsible for the current Beiyang Fleet. There is nothing short of military expenditure. Will it be difficult to make the food for the soldiers?" Tang Jian smiled disconcertedly.

"Oh, my son is worried about my mother. I don't know how many months you will be back. Am I worried about you? I'm afraid that you are a fool, who can't eat well in the army or wear or warm. Whether you are not a general who commands thousands of troops, in my eyes, you are my son." Mrs. Tang still looked at the child following the slightly curled corner of Tang Jian's clothes like a child. Although Tang Jian is now the commander of the army, Mrs. Tang is still nagging, just like sending Tang Jian to the UK to study abroad a few years ago.

In Mrs. Tang's eyes, Tang Jian will always be a child who never grows up.

Tang Jian felt warm and stroked Mrs. Tang's slightly thin face with his right hand. The corners of his eyes had already crowed with a faint crow's feet, and his skin began to look a little rough.

Although Tang Jian is not a person from this world, he felt the family affection that the original world did not feel, which made him, who had no worries before, feel a little bit of bondage.

Tang Jian's eyes turned red and he said softly, "I know my mother!" After that, he looked at Tang Kuncai beside him.

Tang Kun patted Tang Jian on the shoulder heavily and said, "Come back and bring me some good wine!"

"Haha, I understand, father, mother is not in good health. You have to give in to her more. Both of them are old husbands and wives, so you don't have to make noise all day long." Tang Jian said.

"Ahem!" Tang Kuncai's face became a little unnatural. Mrs. Tang turned her head and twisted Tang Kuncai's eyes. Tang Jian smiled.

At this time, Deng Yimeng, who had been talking aside, walked over and looked at Tang Jian reluctantly. Deng Yimeng's warm eyes made Tang Jian feel the desire to leave.

Deng Yimeng pulled out a scarf from behind and handed it to Tang Jian and said, "Brother Jian, this is a scarf made by Menger himself. This trip is expected to be back in the spring of next year. The weather in Shandong is cold, so prepare a scarf to keep it cold."

Tang Jian held up the scarf and sniffed it lightly. The scarf was still stained with the faint fragrance of Deng Yimeng's body. Tang Jian smiled tenderly and held Deng Yimeng's horns. He saw that Deng Yimeng's index fingers and middle fingers were slightly red and swollen. He thought of Deng Yimeng's slightly red eyes, and he felt sorry for him. This scarf must have been made by Deng Yimeng overnight.

Tang Jian hugged Deng Yimeng and said to Deng Yimeng's earlobe that emitted a faint fragrance: "Meng'er, you must take good care of yourself too. I will marry you when I come back."

Tang Jian's heavy masculine breath sprayed on his sensitive earlobes, making Deng Yimeng's delicate body tremble slightly. Deng Yimeng pushed Tang Jian away with a blushing face and said in a low voice: "Brother Jian, he is still at the door of the palace. So many people are watching, it's very shy."

Tang Jian laughed and turned around and saw that Mrs. Tang and Tang Kuncai were chatting with each other without any incident. Wang Jianchuan was holding the horse alone and looking at the sky boredly.

"Yeah, I understand!" Tang Jian pinched Deng Yimeng's shy cheek lovingly and said, "Wait for me, I will be back soon after the matter is handled this time."

Deng Yimeng also nodded heavily.

Tang Jian laughed and said, "Let's go, Wang Jianchuan, get on the horse!" After that, he turned around and followed him, Wang Jianchuan followed him and got on the horse.

Tang Jian turned his head and took a look, and said, "The wind is strong at the door, let's go back!" After that, he rode his horse and whipped, and two horses neighed, and two horses galloped away from the door of the palace.

Tang Kun helped to wipe Mrs. Tang suddenly burst into tears and said, "Oh, don't cry anymore. The weather is getting colder. If you cry again, your face will be cracked."

"Meng'er, go, go back to the house!" Tang Kun called out Deng Yimeng, who was still staring at the direction where Tang Jian left.

"Okay!" Deng Yimeng secretly wiped her eyes before turning around, and smiled and helped Mrs. Tang into the mansion.

Tang Jian and Wang Jianchuan ran out of Beijing City quickly, and after leaving the south gate, they headed straight for Tianjin.

Wang Jianchuan, who had not spoken on the way, asked, "Sir, why didn't Li Gates walk with us today?"

"Oh, I have arranged for him to take the train back to Weihaiwei this morning. Let's go from land to Tianjin and then take the boat back to Weihaiwei!" Tang Jian replied.

"I understand, go!" Wang Jianchuan raised the horse whip, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and followed Tang Jian closely.

Although Tang Jian didn't say it, Wang Jianchuan still knew that Tianjin Xiaozhan was Tang Jian's sad place, and Tang Ruier's life was here. Tang Jian was afraid that the way to the Xiaozhan would arouse his sad memories.

Alas, Wang Jianchuan sighed softly, what a good girl, but unfortunately her beauty is a poor life.

Three days later, Tang Jian and Wang Jianchuan returned to Weihaiwei as scheduled.

After returning to Weihaiwei, the first thing Tang Jian did was to convene all generals in the Naval Academy on Liugong Island, Weihaiwei, that is, at Tang Jian's command center.

The attendees were the captains of various ships such as Ye Zugui, Qiu Baoren, Li He, Sa Zhenbing, Fang Boqian, as well as the Air Force Commander-in-Chief Liu Wenqing and the commander-in-chief Chu Zhaoliang. Of course, Zhu Lianjie also received a notice to attend the meeting.

On the long desk in the conference room, each captain and other commanders in the army lined up on both sides, Tang Jian ranked first, and a giant world map was hung on the wall behind Tang Jianxian.

Tang Jian sat majesticly above the head and said, "Commanders, this seems to be the first time that all the troops in the army have a meeting together!"

Everyone looked at Tang Jian silently and listened to Tang Jian’s next speech.

"First of all, because I was busy signing a treaty in Shimonoseki, Japan after the last battle against Japan, I did not commend some of the meritorious ministers in person. Of course, there were some of them without introducing them to you."

"Now let me introduce you to Colonel Chu Zhaoliang, the commander of the submarine force!"

Chu Zhaoliang stood up, saluted each commander present and then sat down.

"I believe everyone has also seen the advantages of the submarine force in combat. Before attacking the Japanese mainland, in order to keep the security of the battle, I did not disclose the existence of this force to everyone. However, I believe everyone has also seen the advantages of this force. It is precisely because the submarine force sneaked into Sasebo and raided the Japanese joint fleet in the port in advance. This is why the Beiyang Fleet soldiers took Sasebo without bloodshed and captured all the Japanese officers and soldiers in Hong Kong, including the commander of the Japanese joint fleet, Togo Hirahachiro!" Tang Jian pointed at Chu Zhaoliang and said.

Chu Zhaoliang smiled and wanted to nod the greetings of every commander present.

"Of course, the submarine force's extraordinary achievements cannot erase the efforts of all the Beiyang Fleet officers and soldiers. It can be said that without the hard work of all the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet, there would be no subsequent victory against horses, and there would be no raid from the submarine force! Therefore, in addition to the special commendation of all the officers and soldiers of the submarine force, the salary of all the officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet was increased by half, and all officers at all levels of captain level or above were promoted to one level!" Tang Jian said with a smile.
