Han Ling started his career at a short time and lacked talents. Zhan Ninggong stood by Han Ling decisively and helped him deal with things in the army. He often stayed up late to deal with military affairs. Han Ling remembered these things.

And Zhang Hanqing, although he was defeated by himself, had to surrender.

But when he surrendered, he took the initiative to cooperate with himself to rectify the power within his jurisdiction.

Moreover, the Zhang family gave up control of all arsenals and other industries in the Northeast, which moved Han Ling, who was facing the threat of Jingnan and neon attacks at that time.

At that time, Pingyuan Army had just taken over the Northeast and North China, and had no foundation. At this time, we had to face Jingnan and neon lights. If Zhang Hanqing did not cooperate, it would be difficult for him to distract himself from rectifying under this situation. After all, there were not many troops at that time.

Although Han Ling looked down on Zhang Hanqing at that time, he thought that this person was too weak. The family business he left for him could be defeated in history. But it does not mean that Zhang Hanqing is not patriotic, nor does it mean that he does not know the general.

At that time, Han Ling seemed extremely domineering, defeating Yan Baichuan, Northwest Army, and Northeast Army one after another, and seemed to be extremely powerful. But Han Ling was also in danger at that time.

The territory suddenly expanded too much, all of which were newly taken over, and the foundation was unstable. Han Ling did not have much force at this time. If Zhang Hanqing wanted to cause trouble, with the resources controlled by their Zhang family, it would be very likely to cause great trouble to Han Ling.

However, Zhang Hanqing did not do this at that time. He chose to stand on Han Ling's side and jointly resist the attack of the Neon army.

The generals under him were asked by him to voluntarily give up their military power and hand over all the troops to Han Ling to ensure that Han Ling had no worries about fighting the Neon army.

Later, he served as deputy commander of Pingyuan Army and had no other ideas after he officially accepted military affairs. This can be said to have helped Han Ling a lot.

So today, Han Ling, as the emperor of a country, did not abandon these two people because of his different status and invited them to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the snow.

Among the pavilions outside Qin'an Hall.

Zhang Hanqing and Zhan Ninggong were also wearing robes and other clothes, and did not wear military uniforms or suits.

The three of them sat apart in the pavilion, surrounded by some maids and Han Ling's personal female official Zhao Qinyi.

Zhao Qinyi, who is 27 years old this year, has been serving as Han Ling’s female official for many years. Over the years, if you want to talk about who is the most around Han Ling, it belongs to Zhao Qinyi.

Many senior executives of the empire are speculating about who Zhao Qinyi is and why Han Ling has not replaced her for seven years.

On the table, there are some lettuce and an authentic Sichuan hot pot in the middle.

In such weather, eating hot pot and drinking is the most comfortable time.

"Your Majesty! It seems that you have a unique hobby for Sichuan cuisine! It has been almost ten years since the beginning of three years! You still like Sichuan cuisine!"

Mr. Zhan Ning sat in his seat and looked at the obvious Sichuan cuisine in the hot pot, and couldn't help but smile.

"Haha! Sichuan cuisine is indeed very distinctive. It is famous for its spicy and crispy flavor. When it comes to hot pot, there are many places in the empire that have hot pot. But if you want to eat hot pot in such a winter, I will naturally choose Sichuan hot pot!"

Sichuan, as the birthplace of hot pot, does have its own characteristics.

"Your Majesty! If you don't go with the newly stored women of the Kong family this year, why did you recruit us two old guys to come here?"

Today, Zhan Ning was relatively open and seemed to be back to what he used to be, but there was still a hint of concern in his words.

"What new storage! Wait for her where she is now! I don't have time to care about her recently. But you, I heard that my life is very good during this period! Bai Jiansheng is dealing with big and small matters. Mr. Zhan Ning, you have accepted a good apprentice!"

Han Ling smiled and said, it was just a joke!

Mr. Zhan Ning was too tired for military affairs a few years ago, so he often couldn't do anything and his body began to fall down. So he didn't mean to blame him for his words.

"Hey! I'm not good at health now. I'm wondering if I'll retreat in a few years. I used to stay up late and felt in good spirits. Now I feel like I can't bear it if I stay up late."

Mr. Zhan Ning said with some sigh.

"I can't bear it? I'll give you a while off later! Go back and spend time with your wife and children, by the way! Mr. Zhan Ning, your daughter heard that she was studying in a concert college in Beijing. Why did she fall in love with music?"

Han Ling said with a smile.

He didn't know that Mr. Zhan Ning's daughter liked music in history. After all, in history, if it weren't for Mr. Zhan Ning's relationship, not many people would have known her.

"I don't know! Forget it, I won't say that anymore! Your Majesty, I look at your military arrangements recently, and it seems that I am preparing for something?

Mr. Zhan Ning was just looking at it from a military perspective and did not refer to politics. And even if he was asked to talk about politics, Mr. Zhan Ning couldn't say anything!"

"No matter how serious the consumption is, we must maintain it! The empire is not calm now! The empire's territory has been expanded. However, some places are difficult to govern. Take Africa as an example. Wherever there is still a primitive society, people in any place do not respect the management of the Governor's Office. They only obey the orders of the tribe chief. These places will be cleaned up in the future. Otherwise, the empire will not be managed in nominal terms.

This piece of land in Africa has a large number and abundant resources. Moreover, the sunshine in the whole of Africa is very abundant. If used properly, it can support 5 billion people on that land."

Han Ling said with some sigh: Africa has always been a backward land in people's eyes.

But in fact, this is a very fertile land. The next step is Han Ling to bring the resource converter to North Africa.

Due to the previous war, the empire had fully controlled North Africa. As long as the desert land of North Africa is turned into fertile soil, this would be very good for the empire.

To put it bluntly, Han Ling's preparations are actually preparing to conquer the universe.
