Chapter 350: Provide Support
Luo Li returned to the palace with a heavy heart. She handed Lin'er to the Empress Dowager and went back to Ning Xinyuan. She locked herself in the room and calmly thought.
Originally, Zhao Defang planned to seize the territory of the Western Xia Kingdom, and then return to the capital with the strong war horses from the horse-breeding land, rest and recuperate for a year or two, make adequate preparations, and then attack the Liao Kingdom.
However, he changed his plan at the front and led an army of less than 100,000 to attack the Liao Kingdom directly. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried or nervous at all. The Liao Kingdom, with its vast territory and large population, was not so easy to attack.
It's not that the arrow is on the string and has to be shot, but that the arrow has already been shot. Once the bow is shot, there is no turning back. All we can do is to support him, ensure the stability of the rear, and ensure the timely and sufficient supply of logistics and military supplies for the army.
What are the things that Luo Li is thinking about that need to be done urgently?
Alcohol, first aid kits, penicillin anti-inflammatory drugs, instant noodles and canned meat are some of the military supplies that need to be produced at an accelerated pace to ensure that the soldiers who go deep into the prairie have sufficient rations and medicines.
Shen Qiu was also responsible for the production of the divine arm bow, thunder bomb and artillery, and he had to work overtime to ensure the firepower supply to the front line.
The group of military doctors trained by Ghost Hand Poison Doctor and Siyu personally will also be sent to the front line. If a tough battle is fought, there will be heavy casualties, and the more than 100 military doctors brought by Zhao Defang may not be enough.
Other matters will be coordinated and dealt with by the important officials of the court. The only thing we must be vigilant about is to ensure the stability of the court and not let people with ulterior motives take advantage of the situation.
The Supervisory Office must be more vigilant, arrest spies sent by various countries, and guard against traitors and villains within the Song Dynasty. Officials in important positions must be supervised more closely to prevent traitors who are corrupted and bought by enemy countries from ruining important matters.
Luo Li's head hurt from thinking about it, and she sighed and fell on the bed.
She had originally thought of becoming a free and wealthy woman in the Song Dynasty, enjoying a comfortable and affluent life, but after boarding Zhao Defang's pirate ship, she was forced into a life of hard work.
Not only did they have to consider national affairs and the fate of the nation every day, but all the money they earned from their busy businesses had to be thrown into the bottomless pit of logistical and military supplies needed for the war.
Thinking of the frustration and annoyance, Luo Li angrily cursed: "Zhao Defang, I wish I could bite a piece of your flesh off! You must win the battle, but you must also save your life and come back to me in one piece!"
Tingting and Yingchun, who were standing outside, were startled and hurriedly entered the room through the curtains. "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Princess, what happened?"
Luo Li buried her face in the pillow and laughed, then replied in a muffled voice: "It's okay, I just remembered Zhao Defang and cursed him out of anger."
Tingting and Yingchun looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"Miss, the prince is leading troops at the front line, how did he offend you?"
"Princess, the prince is the God of War of the Song Dynasty and an ever-victorious general. If he leads his army to attack the tiny country of Western Xia Kingdom, he will surely be invincible. Who knows, maybe next month the prince will return victorious." Yingchun comforted the princess.
Luo Li said in a muffled voice, "Returning next month is a fart! Zhao Defang, that daring fellow, destroyed the Western Xia Kingdom and led his army to attack the Liao Kingdom directly. I wonder how long this battle will last before he can return to the court?"
Tingting and Yingchun were both frightened by this shocking news. No wonder after the young lady came back from the palace, she drove everyone out, stayed in the room for most of the day, and lost her temper and scolded the prince.
"Princess, the prince... will return victorious soon!" Yingchun's tone was not so firm anymore.
"Miss, things have come to this point. There's no point in you being angry and depressed. Don't get yourself sick from anger." Tingting walked forward worriedly, gently stroking the young lady's back and trying to persuade her.
At the critical moment, the negative emotions of laziness could not affect other people. Luo Li quickly got up and smiled, "Why are you worrying about me? I'm fine. It's because I have to support Zhao Defang to win the battle on the front line. I have too many trivial things to do in the rear. The lazy bug rebelled and vented his anger.
It's okay, you all should go do what you need to do. In the days to come, there will be no idle people in our palace. Except for my mother and my precious son, everyone should work hard!"
Yingchun and Tingting were amused. Tingting joked, "Miss, except for you who are often lazy, we are not afraid of hard work."
Luo Li was startled, and pointed angrily at Tingting's forehead, "So you are all hardworking people who are not afraid of hard work, and I am the only lazy bug who likes to cheat and play tricks?"
Yingchun hurriedly coaxed her, "Princess, although your hands and feet are a little lazy, your brain is not lazy. The brilliant ideas you come up with are worth a million soldiers!"
Luo Li rolled her eyes at her, "Yingchun, are you praising me or praising me or praising me?"
"Of course I'm praising you," Yingchun smiled as she helped the princess pick up her shoes that had been thrown far away. While helping the princess put them on, she flattered her.
"Princess, your intelligence and wisdom are well known to everyone in our palace. Even the common people in the capital know that the silly princess they laughed at is actually the smartest and wisest person in the world. How can the magical items she created that can make a lot of money be imagined or made by ordinary people?
Even your belly is doing well, Princess. The little prince you gave birth to is more handsome and intelligent than any other child we have ever seen."
Luo Li rubbed Yingchun's head with a smile, "Yingchun, if you are not good at flattering, don't force yourself. You look so tired and sweaty. Flattering is more laborious than working."
Yingchun raised her head and smiled awkwardly, "Princess, since you are in a good mood, I will go and help Sister Ruhua look at the account book."
"Go, go!" Luo Li waved her hand, "Everyone in our palace should get busy to support the prince who is leading the army to fight on the front line."
