Luo Qingyan didn't stay in Weiyang Palace for too long, so he went back to Taiji Palace on the pretext of too many political affairs.
The morning of the second day was over, and Yun Chang followed him to the camp.
The first to go is the Navy camp.
The water army is different from other military branches. The place where they train is on the water.
In order to keep secret, Luo Qingyan previously found a lake in a deep mountain dozens of miles away from Jincheng for early training.
When Yunshang arrived, she only saw rows of boats docked on the lake, but no one was on board.
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows, and glanced around the lake, and sure enough, she saw reeds sticking out of the water by the lake.
"What are you practicing?"
The person in charge of the naval training was a middle-aged man named Li Mu.
Li Mu had heard of Yun Shang's name before, but this was the first time he had seen anyone.
Seeing Yun Chang's beautiful appearance, not too old, and the questions she asked were so... not up to standard, a slight sense of contempt arose in her heart.
He just smiled and said: "Hold your breath in the training water, so that if the two armies are fighting in the water, you can use this method to dive into the water, listen to the news, and dig the boat."
"General Li thinks that practicing this is useful?"
Li Mu became more and more disdainful: "It must be useful. If you can hold your breath in the water for such a long time, you can do many things."
How could Yun Chang fail to understand Li Mu's eyes, this kind of eyes was not uncommon for her.
"Then, has Your Majesty ever told General Li before, what are we training the navy for?"
Li Mu seemed to hear Yun Shang ask a very funny question, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a sneering arc, but because Luo Qingyan was still there, he couldn't make it too obvious, and he was still respectful on his face: " Returning to your empress, Your Majesty has naturally said it, Your Majesty said that our Xia Kingdom is surrounded by the sea on three sides, so we are afraid that there will be other countries that we don’t know across the ocean and come to attack us.”
"Your Majesty said that our navy's combat capability is weak. If that day really comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the enemy's attack. Therefore, it is necessary to train a very sophisticated navy division, which can advance and retreat, and defend. Guard the tranquility of my Xia Kingdom's seaside customs."
Yun Chang nodded, with a faint smile: "So General Li remembers."
This is naturally remembered, how dare he forget what His Majesty said
Li Mu just wanted to respond, but he heard Yun Shang continue: "Since General Li knows that the purpose of training the navy is to protect the tranquility of our Xia Kingdom's coastal customs, then does General Li 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 Yunshang asked this question, so he just repeated Yunshang's question with a blank expression.
"Has General Li ever been to the beach?" Yun Chang's face was full of indifference.
"I have been, I have been to the beach, but I have never stayed for a long time." Li Mu replied subconsciously.
Yunshang nodded, turned to look at Luo and said lightly: "Do you want to know, is General Li's training useful for us to defend against enemies attacking from the sea?"
Luo coughed lightly: "Of course I want to know."
"Your Majesty looks at the courtiers and concubines." Yun Chang hooked the corners of her lips, clapped her hands, and called out the hidden guard who escorted them, called the commander of the dark guard, and whispered a few words to him.
The leader of the dark guards agreed, and with dozens of dark guards, he quickly went to the lake, and jumped directly into the lake.
Dozens of people were holding hands, jumping non-stop in the lake, slapping the water surface with their hands, and the originally calm water surface suddenly had a lot of waves.
Soon, some soldiers hidden under the water choked on the water and got out from the bottom.
More and more soldiers couldn't stand the waves and hurriedly floated up, and the water surface suddenly became lively.
Li Mu's face became a little ugly: "What is the empress doing?"
His tone was full of anger, almost questioning.
Yun Shang was not angry, and her face was still calm: "I just want to tell you that your method will not work at all in the sea."
"The surface of the lake is calm, and it is easy to hold your breath underwater with a reed pole. But the sea surface, especially the seaside, is mostly choppy. If there is a wind, there will often be huge waves. The real sea surface is darker than this palace just now. Wei created a lot of waves."
"If you can't even stand such waves, how can you talk about guarding the seaside customs? How can you talk about resisting foreign enemy invasion? If you really let them do this at the beach, you will let these soldiers die in vain. Maybe, the enemy is not at all Without touching them, they were dead in the sea."
What Yun Chang said was really not very polite, Li Mu's face was green and pale, but he had to admit that what Yun Chang said was very reasonable, and he was negligent.
It's just that although he knew in his heart that this kind of training was done wrong, he was still a little unconvinced in the bottom of his heart.
"The empress thinks, how should we train?"
Yun Chang lowered her eyes: "Since it is an army fighting in the sea, it should naturally be put into the sea for training."
Li Mu raised his head abruptly, with some disbelief in his eyes. He glanced at Yun Shang, then turned his head to look at Luo Qingyan. Seeing that Luo Qingyan hadn't spoken, he frowned quickly: "The empress doesn't care much about the future." I'm afraid I don't know much about our situation. We are training here, but Your Majesty..."
"It was ordered by His Majesty, and I know about it." Yun Shang also pretended to turn her eyes to look at Luo Qingyan: "It's just that since the establishment of your navy elite team, the government has been busy, and there are too many things. Have you ever seen your training?"
Luo shook his head lightly: "No."
Yun Shang smiled: "Then how does His Majesty feel?"
What else can he say? Naturally, he nodded and responded: "I think what the queen said is very true. I didn't know the real situation of the navy training before, and I only learned about your training situation based on the memorials you submitted. It shows that it seems to be doing according to my request, and there are too many things in the court, so there is no time to ask. Looking at it today, there are indeed many problems."
"The queen is right. Since you are fighting in the sea, you can't train in the lake. This is not acceptable."
Li Mu was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth: "However, our military training is completely confidential. If we go to the beach to train, wouldn't it be...exposed?"
Luo Qingyan smiled, but turned his head to look at Yunshang: "What's the empress's opinion?"
"It's not a good idea." Yun Shang laughed: "It's just that I think, why do you have to go to the seaside to train in the name of training?"
"Not in the name of military training? Then in the name of what? We are training soldiers?"
