That happened in a previous life

If the soldiers did not have enough cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold, why would they fight?

Tang Qing's only option at the moment was to order cotton-padded clothes from the local area.

Under normal circumstances, local officials should actively cooperate, but now most of the officials in central Fujian are from the Shu king's lineage, and it is impossible for them to cooperate with Tang Qing's needs.

Time was tight, and even if he could use force to force local officials to submit, as long as they delayed for just a day or two, it would be too late.

Winning a war is not a matter for one general, nor is it a matter for thousands of soldiers. It is a feat that requires local officials and people to work together and pay many costs to accomplish it.

Especially in coastal areas, the climate is changeable, which makes fighting even more difficult.

Tang Qing was used to fighting on the grasslands and was a little unprepared for this situation.

Gu Changyuan smiled and said: "But don't worry, General Tang. I have already collected and purchased 50,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes, which should be enough to meet emergencies."

"Your Highness has fifty thousand sets of cotton-padded clothes?" Tang Qing was surprised.

"Yes, all the supplies have been in place in the past two days. If General Tang needs it, please send someone to my palace to transport it." Gu Changyuan stood up, suddenly swayed, and hurriedly held on to the wall, his face turned a little pale.

Tang Qing looked at him and said, "I heard that the prince is unwell. It seems to be true."

"It's not that serious. Maybe I'm new here and haven't adapted to the climate here yet." Gu Changyuan coughed a few times and looked very weak.

The humid and hot climate in central Fujian makes it easy for people from the north, especially those with weak bodies, to become acclimatized.

Tang Qing asked: "Didn't Your Highness bring some water and soil from the capital?"

"If you take it with you, it won't be a big deal."

"That's good." Tang Qing paused, "I know that His Highness has special information channels in the capital. I also ask His Highness to help me pay attention to the situation of the eldest lady. If there is any news, please tell me in time."

"Don't worry, General Tang."

Tang Qing was about to leave. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask: "Does His Highness Prince Xuan still like the eldest lady now?"

Gu Changyuan was slightly startled, then shook his head and said with a smile, "That seems to have happened a lifetime ago."

What he said was true, but Tang Qing couldn't understand it.

Tang Qing didn't say anything more, and fisted: "I want those cotton-padded clothes. How much they cost will be calculated based on the market price. I, Tang Qing, took note of His Highness's timely help, and I will repay it in the future!"

No matter how Gu Changyuan obtained the 50,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes, facing the coming cold wave and the shrinking bodies of the soldiers, Tang Qing could never refuse.

After Tang Qing left, Gu Changyuan drank half a bowl of tea to suppress the slight sweetness in his throat.

Fatong stood at the door watching this scene and sighed: "Your Highness, this is really not suitable for you to recuperate. During this period, please don't go out and just rest in the house. I made a bowl of medicine for you.

You want something to drink."

Gu Changyuan drank the medicine and fell asleep.

After waking up, he felt a little more relaxed and picked up a squeezed document to read.

Ding Chunfang came in and said with a smile: "Sir, the weather is nice today. Don't stay bored in the house all the time. Going out for a walk will be good for your health."

"Is something wrong?"

"We have been in central Fujian for a while. As the vassal king here, shouldn't you also go out and have a look and understand the people's sentiments?"

Gu Changyuan glanced at him and said with a smile, "That's fine."
