Wen Wan specially invited Prince Hao to the mansion for the sake of Qi Zhe. ([] Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work.) Wen Wan told Prince Hao about Qi Zhe¡¯s situation: ¡°Qi Zhe is very smart, and if he is well cultivated, he will be a pillar of talent. But he is too violent. And he is burdened with He has such a big burden on his heart, if he is not good" Wen Wan did not continue, if if he is not good, the child will go astray.
If Wen Wan hadn¡¯t been helpless about this matter, Wen Wan wouldn¡¯t have told Prince Hao. Because this is a family scandal in the royal family. Family scandals should not be made public: "Now it's not about the woman. It's about how to solve the shadow in Qi Zhe's heart. I recently asked him to copy the Jingxin Sutra, I hope it will be useful."
Prince Hao also looked livid.
Seeing Prince Hao about to leave, Wen Wan opened her mouth, then thought for a moment and remained silent. Let's see how Prince Hao handles it! I believe he won't be disappointed.
After Guan Erlang met the emperor, he went to the princess's mansion to meet Wen Wan. If another woman were to be the leader of the Huwei Army, then Guan Erlang would definitely have objections. It's just a gentle princess, so that's another matter. Guan Erlang is also looking forward to meeting the legendary female Bodhisattva.
Wen Wan heard Guan Erlang coming over and changed her clothes. He took Mingrui and Mingjin to the front hall. Just in time for Guan Erlang to get to know two children.
Guan Erlang heard the footsteps and looked over reflexively. I saw a man wearing a pale pink palace dress, with peonies embroidered on the cuffs. The peonies were outlined with gold and silver threads. The low-hanging temple hair is inserted into a hairpin inlaid with pearls and jasper, and the pearls and jade brush against the face of the flower-like face, which looks like water and lotus. It's really moving.
Next to him were two golden boy dolls.
Mingrui¡¯s complexion turned dark when he saw the person standing looking straight at his mother. He coughed twice on purpose. This person is too presumptuous and has no rules at all.
Guan Erlang, who was standing dumbfounded, heard the sound of coughing. I know it's rude. He quickly bowed his head and saluted Wen Wan: "At the end of the day, the general will meet the princess and the two young masters."
Wen Wan had already glanced at her when Guan Erlang looked at her just now. Wearing a court dress. He has a strong and muscular figure, and looks to be in his early forties. The appearance. He had a square face, and his eyes were a little dull. Well, his behavior just now revealed a sense of stupidity. He looks like a honest and honest person.
"General Guan, please sit down." The maid next to him led him to sit down. Soon a maid came over with tea and water.
Wen Wan said to the two children: "Mingrui, Mingjin, go see General Guan."
The two children listened to Wen Wan¡¯s words. Walk over immediately. He bowed to Guan Erlang as a junior: "Ming Rui has met Uncle Guan."
Guan Erlang immediately stood up and returned a salute: "How dare you treat two young masters with such a great gift. It's a shame."
Wenwan smiled softly: "You and my husband are of the same generation, and our two children are juniors. You deserve this gift." Of course you deserve it. If you say you can't afford it, then you can't afford it. It depends on Wen Wan's attitude.
After Mingrui and Mingjin met, Mingjin wanted to leave. But Mingrui took his hand and gave him a look. Both of them stood beside Wen Wan.
Wen Wanze and Guan Erlang talked about some things about the Huwei Army. Wen Wan asked about the current situation of the Huwei Army, such as the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, and about the battleship that Mingrui had just heard about in confusion. Then asked some trivial things.
After talking for a while, Wen Wan saw Ming Jin drowsy and said with a smile: "If you don't want to listen, go back to the room and practice calligraphy. If you want to listen, just sit on the chair and listen." Standing.
Mingjin immediately went back to the house like a newly released prisoner. Mingjin would rather go back to the house and practice Chinese calligraphy than listen to this water army. I have no idea what I'm talking about, it's like a book from heaven. Mingrui was listening very carefully just now. In fact, Mingrui doesn¡¯t understand many of them. For example, when Wen Wan asked Guan Erlang about the battleship, Mingrui was confused when talking about combat endurance.
¡°Kan Erlang answered fluently at first, but later, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He had done enough homework before meeting the saint. He could answer all the emperor's questions. But what the princess asked him had to think carefully before he could answer. Sometimes I can¡¯t even answer. Mingrui, who was standing on one side listening, pursed his lips to prevent himself from laughing.
Wen Wan had done her homework before meeting Guan Erlang. Wen Wan herself has plans, so she also needs to get exact information from Guan Erlang. The reputation of gentleness gave Guan Erlang a sense of authority. But in essence it is a show of force.
Now Guan Erlang doesn¡¯t dare to underestimate Wen Wan anymore. Princess Wenwan was not at all what he thought. She was a layman who only knew business but not military affairs. She was even more proficient than her and was an expert.
After talking for a long time, Wen Wan finally asked Guan Erlang what plans he had for the future of Huwei Army.?.
Guan Erlang was a little confused: "Princess" In the future, what future? In the future, we will fight against Japanese pirates and kill bandits. Protect the safety of the coastal areas.
Seeing Guan Erlang's slow look, Wen Wan knew that the position of leader of the Huwei Army was over for Guan Erlang. This man doesn't have much foresight, but fortunately he has more than ten years of experience in fighting, so he doesn't have to worry about Japanese pirates or anything else.
Wen Wan restrained her smile: "As far as I know, although there are no more Japanese pirates along the coast, there are more and more pirates. The most obvious thing is that there have been several incidents of goods being plundered in Daqi in recent years. .Yes or no."
Guan Erlang nodded hurriedly: "What the princess said is true. However, all those who dared to go to the territory to commit crimes were annihilated by our mighty army." When he said this, Guan Erlang was full of pride and pride.
Wen Wan looked at Guan Erlang and said nothing. Guan Erlang was so shocked by Wen Wan that he broke into cold sweat again: "Princess Princess, is there anything inappropriate that the general said?"
Wenwan asked Xia Ying to show the things she had sorted out to Guan Erlang. Wen Wan said while Guan Erlang was looking at things: "Nowadays, the number of murders and looting of goods is increasing with a probability of 20% every year. This is only in the interior of Daqi. Those in the outer areas of Daqi's sea area are not included. In recent years, the Japanese pirates have disappeared, but the number of pirates has increased at an alarming rate. Do you think that if this continues, the pirates will not take advantage of the pirates? "
Looking at the data presented above, Guan Erlang was a little confused. Wen Wan glanced at Xia Ying, who took it and read it to Guan Erlang one by one. In the past few years, how many new pirates have been added every year, and how many goods have been robbed every year. The Huwei army killed as many as they captured. Of course, these are rough calculations.
Guan Erlang was really sweating profusely now. What is this? He doesn't know this. In fact, Guan Erlang also knows that there are more and more pirates now, and they are getting stronger and stronger. But officials like to destroy peace, and these are not reported. The Huwei Army only needs to ensure the safety of Haikou. I just didn't expect that the princess knew so much in detail. It made him ashamed.
Mingrui looked at Wen Wan in surprise. His mother said she didn't understand military affairs. He always thought that his mother didn't understand military affairs. Is this someone who doesn¡¯t understand military matters? How much more ability does his mother have hidden away?
Wen Wan held the chair handle with her right hand: "The number of pirates is constantly growing, and their weapons and equipment are constantly being updated. However, the Huwei Army has always been unstoppable and only has 5,000 people. Last year's incident severely damaged the strength of the Huwei Army. Now the Huwei Army is only On the surface, it is not as good as before. The pirates are expanding in terms of manpower and weapons, but the enemy is stagnating and even retreating. You can safely say that the gap between you will become larger. Can we completely suppress the pirates?" It doesn't mean that the Huwei Army can't defeat these pirates now. But compared to the mighty army when they were completely victorious. It's not the same level. Coupled with this advance and retreat, the future is worrying.
Wenwan still has a big problem that she hasn¡¯t mentioned yet. That is, the Huwei Army has only been stationed in Haikou. In comparison, Haikou's maritime security is much safer. But the robbery of goods also happened in other places. There are navy troops in other places, but their equipment is extremely poor and their combat effectiveness is not strong. As a superior, you focus on the overall situation. The emperor has known about this drawback for a long time, but now all the emperor's energy is on the border town. The military along the coast can only be temporarily put aside. But in order to prepare for the future and lay a solid foundation, the emperor also introduced Wen Wan.
Guan Erlang nodded repeatedly. In front of experts, don't talk nonsense. Guan Erlang explained all the difficulties Hu Weijun encountered now. First of all, there is a shortage of people and a new batch of soldiers need to be recruited, which means fresh blood needs to be injected. Secondly, the equipment must be assembled. Especially the warships. The warships of the Huwei Army have aged and are now being used reluctantly. Battleships are the most basic equipment. If there were no battleships, this battle would not be possible.
Wen Wan nodded repeatedly as she listened to Guan Erlang start to tell the truth. The two talked for nearly two hours. Wen Wan said when Guan Erlang left: "Write down a report on the problems encountered by the Huwei Army and give it to me. I will discuss with the emperor to solve these problems as soon as possible. But you have to be mentally prepared. Now the court's The focus is on the Tatars. Only after the Tatars are solved will it be the navy's turn to solve the war in the border town. At that time, we will have to start expanding our navy.
As long as Guan Erlang can solve the problem at hand for him, he will be thankful. How dare you think otherwise.
Guan Erlang thought that he would not stay long, so he said bravely: "Princess, the general will not stay in the capital for a long time." He meant whether he could give him an answer before he returned to Haikou.
Wen Wan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I am still very efficient in doing things." Wen Wan has always been famous for being efficient in doing things. Everyone in the capital knows?
After going out, Guan Erlang muttered in his heart that the princess is really awesome. I asked about everything, more detailed than the emperor.
¡°Ahem, the princess knows more about the Huwei Army and maritime warfare than the emperor does. The princess is really talented, and the thoughts in her heart have long been lost to the Crow Claw Kingdom
