Lingnan is located on the southern coast of the Tang Dynasty, densely forested, and has always been plagued by bandits.
There are even many smugglers and human traffickers who traffic people overseas to this place.
Because of the terrain, troops from all dynasties went to pay the fee, but it still had little effect.
This group of gangsters became more and more courageous because of this.
Even before, there have been gangsters who blatantly robbed officials who were going to take office, and then took the official seal and letter of appointment to take office by themselves.
Although the problem was resolved in the end, Lingnan, as a cancer in the southern border, has not been able to completely deal with them.
Now that this group of people dares to gather together, then just take advantage of this opportunity to wipe them all out.
"But..." Shadow looked at the resolute Li Chengfeng, still feeling a little worried.
In that kind of bushy dense forest, it is very difficult to send a large army to encircle and suppress them.
It is very likely that before the culprits were found, these people all ran away.
"Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with them, please listen to me."
Li Chengfeng also understood Shadow's concerns, but since he already wanted to encircle and suppress them, he naturally had a plan in mind to wipe them all out.
The shadow was a little unclear, so he turned his body slightly and put his head next to Li Chengfeng.
"You will be like this...then you will..."
Hearing Li Chengfeng's plan, Shadow's eyes widened in disbelief.
The Eighth Prince's plan is simply too extreme. If you use a cannon to hit mosquitoes, the opponent has no room to fight back.
"Yes!" Shadow replied with a bow, and then hastily left the palace compound to carry out the plan.
Li Chengfeng returned to the kitchen and continued to prepare delicious food for the girls.
Soon the aroma from the kitchen slowly wafted out along with the cooking smoke, and more than a dozen dishes made of tomatoes filled the living room dining table.
"Chicken fried with tomatoes, tomatoes mixed with sugar, and tomato soup?"
Li Lizhi looked at the brightly colored tomatoes on the dining table, her eyes lit up, and she picked up the rice and started to gobble it up.
Wu Xu didn't give in too much, eating until his cheeks swelled up, like a hamster.
However, Li Chengfeng didn't move his chopsticks, but sat across the dining table and quietly watched the two girls eat.
"Brother Feng'er, eat quickly! Otherwise, Wu Xu will finish eating it in a while."
Li Lizhi picked up the soup bowl at hand and took a big sip, looking at Li Chengfeng in front of him, her eyes were full of doubts.
"That's right! There are too many of these dishes, Eighth Prince, you should eat them too!"
Wu Xu, who was holding a rice bowl, ate his face with soup stains, and he did not forget to ask Li Chengfeng to do it.
Li Chengfeng's face was full of helplessness. Since he practiced Tianmo Jue, he has been eating more and more.
If he picked up the chopsticks, I am afraid that these meals would only be enough for him to eat half full, not enough at all.
"It's better for you to eat. I just had lunch and I'm not hungry yet." He shook his head again and again.
At this moment, there was a sound of opening the door, and Li Shimin, who had just left the morning court, came to the gate of King Zhen's Mansion.
"Why does it smell so delicious? What delicious food did this kid cook up?"
The tip of Li Shimin's nose kept moving, smelling the fragrance wafting from the living room, he walked into the living room involuntarily.
Looking at Li Lizhi and Wu Xu who were wolfing down their food, he also had some helplessness on his face.
"Changle, take a look at how you look after eating, and if you still have some royal manners!"
Li Shimin took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped off the stains on Li Lizhi's face.
As a princess, Li Lizhi went further and further off track, and all the etiquette that she had carefully taught before went off track.
"Father...Father!" Li Lizhi swallowed a big mouthful of rice, and quickly got up to salute.
"No need to salute!" Li Shimin waved his hands again and again, pulled up Li Chengfeng who was sitting at the dining table, and led him to the side.
"The shadow of Lingnan has already told me. Is it really necessary to send people from the four major legions?"
Li Shimin and Li Chengfeng had already come outside the living room, and asked slowly.
"There are dense forests over there. If a large army goes there, it will be difficult to encircle and wipe them out."
"If you don't send enough people, it's easy to get caught in an ambush and cause more damage."
"It just so happens that Fenglinhuo's major armies have been training for more than half a month, and it's time to take a look at the results."
"If we don't deal with this group of people now, it will be troublesome when we fight against Japanese pirates."
Li Shimin let out a sigh of relief after listening, feeling helpless in his heart.
There are bandits in Lingnan all the year round, as the king of a country, how could he not know about it.
It's just that Turks and Tubo were eyeing each other before, and Datang was Xinxin, so they never pulled out their hands to deal with them.
Now that Turks and Tubo have settled down, it is just the right time to take action against them.
"Then you can do it freely! Do you need me to notify the local officials in advance to cooperate with you?"
Li Chengfeng shook his head again and again, banditry was rampant in this place in Lingnan, and it was unbelievable that local officials were full of filth.
"There's no need to notify them. I plan to take them out tomorrow evening, disguised as an ordinary caravan to Lingnan."
"The shadow has already arranged people to lurk in, and we will do it as soon as we arrive in Lingnan!"
Li Shimin was a little surprised when Li Chengfeng said that he would go to pay the fee in person.
"You can leave this matter to your uncle Li Ling, why do you have to go all the way?"
"There is a lot of miasma over there, and there are many things in the court that need you, why don't you stay in Chang'an?"
He had long thought of letting Li Chengfeng take over the affairs of the government, and now that Li Chengfeng finally had some free time, he had to seize this opportunity to let him take over gradually.
"I didn't go to Lingnan this time to pay the fee. I have two other important things to do."
"Lingnan is hot and humid all the year round, and I happen to have a suitable crop that can be promoted."
"Now that Datang has just finished a few battles, it is time to recuperate."
"If we can benefit the people, we will be more confident in dealing with the joint notes in the future."
Li Chengfeng's eyes were burning, and his voice was extremely firm.
In his eyes, dealing with those Japanese bandits is just a trivial matter, and now Datang's confidant's trouble is a hidden mutual note.
There are many masters in the joint note, and to deal with them not only need enough masters, but also a lot of soldiers.
"Father, I am really old Feng'er thinks far and wide, and I am far behind."
"This thing is indeed worth doing. Datang has also suffered for those common people over the years."
"Feng'er, what are the other two things you said?" Li Chengfeng stroked his long beard lightly and said with a soft sigh.
"Our warships have already begun to be manufactured. It is estimated that within a month, we will have the ability to go to sea to deal with Japanese pirates."
"Naval battles are different from land battles. I need to take people there to check the port and the sea situation first!"
"When the warship is built, we will drive straight in and beat those Japanese pirates!" Li Chengfeng clenched his fists.
In his previous life and this life, he has a natural hatred for Japanese pirates.
Especially after the Ministry of Criminal Justice read the files of those Japanese pirates, the hatred in his heart surged even more.
In order to avoid those tragedies in the history of his previous life, he must completely subdue and beat this wild dog in his own hands!
