Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1510

"Luo Qingyan" didn't stay in Weiyang Palace for too long, so he went back to the Taiji Palace on the excuse of too many political affairs.

The second day after the morning court, Yun Shang went to the camp with "Luo Qingyan".

The first one to go was the navy camp.

The navy was different from other kinds of army. They trained on the water.

In order to keep it a secret, Luo Qingyan had specially found a lake in a deep mountain dozens of miles away from the Jin City for the early training.

When Yun Shang arrived, she only saw rows of boats docked on the lake, and no one was on the boat.

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked around the lake. As expected, there were reed sticks stretching out of the water.

"What are you practicing?"

The one in charge of the training of the navy was a middle-aged man named Li Mu.

Li Mu had heard of Yun Shang, but this was the first time he had seen her.

Yun Shang had a pretty face and was not very old. Besides, the question she asked was so naive. He began to look down upon her.

He laughed and said, "We are practicing keeping breath in the water. In this way, if the two armies are fighting in the water, we can dive into the water in this way, inquire about the information and dig the boat."

"General Li, do you think it's useful to practice this?"

Li Mu became more and more disdainful. "It must be useful. If a person can stay in the water for such a long time, he can do a lot of things." How could Yun Shang not understand the expression in Li Mu's eyes? She had seen such expressions before.

"Has Your Majesty ever told General Li what we train the navy for?"

Li Mu seemed to have heard a very funny question from Yun Shang, and a sneer appeared on his face. But he didn't show it too obviously because "Luo Qingyan" was still here, He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, His Majesty said that the State of Xia is surrounded by the sea on almost three sides. He is afraid that some unknown country will cross the sea and attack us.

Your Majesty said that our navy is weak in combat. If that day comes, he was afraid it's difficult for us to resist the enemy's attack. Therefore, we have to train a very good navy, which can attack and defend, in order to guard the peace of the State of Xia's coastal border."

Yun Shang nodded with a faint smile, "General Li, you remember it well."

Of course he remembered. How dare he forget what His Majesty said?

Li Mu wanted to answer, but Yun Shang continued, "General Li, since you know that the purpose of training the navy is to guard the peace of the coastal border of the State of Xia, do you know the difference between the sea and the lake?"

"What's the difference between a sea and a lake?"

Li Mu didn't know why Yun Shang asked this question. He repeated Yun Shang's question in confusion.

"General Li, have you been to the seaside?" Yun Shang looked careless.

"Yes, I've been to the seaside, but I haven't stayed long." Li Mu answered subconsciously.

Yun Shang nodded and turned to "Luo Qingyan", "Your Majesty, do you want to know whether General Li's training is useful for us to resist the enemy from the sea?"

"Then how do you think we should train them, Your Majesty?"

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and said, "Since they are an army fighting in the sea, we should train in the sea."

Li Mu suddenly raised his head in disbelief. He took a look at Yun Shang, and then turned to "Luo Qingyan". Seeing that "Luo Qingyan" didn't say anything, he frowned quickly. "Your Majesty, you are not in charge of the state affairs. I'm afraid you don't know much about us. We are training here, but His Majesty..."

"It's Your Majesty's decision. I know it." Yun Shang also pretended to look at "Luo Qingyan", "Since the elite group of the navy was established, Your Majesty has been busy with too many things. Has Your Majesty ever come to see you training?"

"Luo Qingyan" shook his head, "No."

Yun Shang smiled, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

What else could he say? So he nodded and said, "I think what the Empress said is right. Previously, I didn't know the real situation of the training of the navy. I only learned the situation of your training by the memorial you submitted. It seemed that you were doing as I asked. In addition, there were too many things in the court, so I didn't have time to pay attention to it. Today, it seems that there are indeed many problems.

What the Empress said makes sense. Since we are fighting in the sea, we can't train in the lake. This won't work."

After a long silence, Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "But our training is completely confidential. If we go to the seaside to train soldiers... Our plan would be exposed."

"Luo Qingyan" smiled and turned to Yun Shang, "What's your opinion?"

"I think..." Yun Shang smiled, "Why do we have to train by the sea in the name of military training?"

"Not in the name of training? Then what we should do? We are training the soldiers, aren't we?"
