On the third day of the fourth month in the fifth year of Yongping, on the Bashang Plateau, outside Chengde Prefecture, at Qingchui Peak, a mulberry tree grew between rocks halfway up the mountain. It had lush branches and leaves, and was full of white mulberries, which were fat and large.
"My dear husband!"
Yehenala Tana obediently handed the freshly washed white mulberries to Jia Xuan's mouth.
""Hmm."
Jia Xuan opened his mouth and swallowed the white mulberry handed to him. The juice burst in his mouth, both sweet and sour.
This Mengmulberry has grown for more than 300 years. After being baptized by spiritual energy, it can be regarded as a spiritual root. Long-term consumption of its fruit has the effect of prolonging life.
There are many such spiritual roots, such as the mother tree Dahongpao in Wuyi Mountain. They are all tributes specially attacked to the royal family. The frontiers outside the Great Wall do not have such concerns. The grassland people and the Jurchens often regard such rare treasures as gods, but they rely on chance.
Looking down at the mountain, the Luan River flows to the southeast, with rugged rocks. Five thousand Jurchen men are practicing"Bear Body Refining Art", with bare upper bodies, facing the scorching sun, sweating continuously, soaking the money rat tail whip
""Roar!!"
Each of them was burly and powerful, and from a distance, they looked like fierce bears in the mountains, unstoppable.
This was only when they were without armor. Once they put on heavy steel armor and held two-meter-long Mo Dao, standing on the plain, they were like an indestructible wall. Even armored cavalry would be terrified by a single cut.
The Yehe Jurchens, who had been hunting wild beasts in the mountains for years, were full of energy and blood, and had almost reached the threshold of the Wusheng realm. With sufficient meat and medicinal materials, everyone would be able to enter the Wusheng realm within half a month.
"Not bad."
Watching, Jia Xuan nodded, revealing a look of appreciation.
The Old Bear Camp and the Heavenly Wolf Riders were one of the trump cards he prepared. The light cavalry that was as swift as the wind and the heavy infantry that was as immovable as a mountain, who else could rival them, both inside and outside the court? Although the Dragon Guards were strong, they were too conspicuous in Dajing, and it was enough to keep the current 3,000 people.
In contrast, the Old Bear Camp and the Heavenly Wolf Riders could expand their forces if they were fully supplied with personnel, weapons, armor, and meat.
If there were 100,000 Old Bear Camps and 100,000 Heavenly Wolf Riders, who in the entire Dajing would dare to disobey his orders? That was a full 200,000 soldiers who had entered the Wusheng realm, equivalent to 200,000 strong men who could crush the lower third-grade warriors.
"Lang Jun"
"I can feel that there is a flame in your heart, enough to burn the whole world."
Staring at Jia Xuan, Tana's beautiful eyes were full of spring water, and her tenderness almost overflowed.
Although they had not known each other for a long time, her contact with the young man in front of her was already unobstructed. As the legitimate son of the Ningguo Mansion of the Jia family in Dajing, with his current merits, he would be able to easily obtain the title of Marquis and Duke after returning to the court, but for Jia Xuan, it seemed to have no meaning.
Instead, the old bear camp, Chengde Mansion, the Canglang Cavalry in Modong, and Tongliao City in front of him made Jia Xuan more concerned. Why is this?
You know, the Han people and the Mongols are very close. The Jurchens and the Mongols were never harmonious. The high and mighty Han emperor did not regard other ethnic groups living in the east, west, south and north as his subjects. He often regarded them as barbarians and looked down upon them.
Only the young man in front of him had never been biased at all. He treated the Jurchens, Mongols and Han people equally.
Because of this, he won the respect of the 200,000 Yehe Jurchens and Mongols in Chengde Prefecture, and the current harmonious situation among all ethnic groups was achieved.
From the perspective of the Han people, Jia Xuan was undoubtedly an outlier!
"Haha!"
Jia Xuan hugged Tana's slender waist, pointed to the southwest, and said loudly:"There, the place given by the Aixinjueluo family from generation to generation"
"The former capital of the Ming Dynasty and Dajing, the location of the divine capital, was established as the secondary capital by the Liao Dynasty 800 years ago, and later became the capital of the Jin Dynasty, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty."
"After the death of Emperor Chongzhen of the former Ming Dynasty, our ancestors Ning and Rong fought with Taizu for decades and established their rule over the world."
"My Jia family is a family of two dukes, ranking first among the nobles of the country. The royal family members dare not underestimate us."
"But even so, the Jia family was still feared by others. Not only did they not allow him to be crowned as a king, they were not even willing to keep the title of Duke.〃` 〃` "
"You say, is Duke enough?"
"Not enough."
Tana shook her head, her head full of indignation.
Standing on the side of Jia's daughter-in-law, Jia's family was the greatest contributor to the founding of Dajing. The two Dukes Ning and Rong, one pacified the interior of the Great Wall, and the other swept the exterior of the Great Wall. Until today, the Jurchen and Mongolian tribes are all terrified, which shows their power!
Just with the name of Jia's family, let alone a mere Duke, even a Prince is not enough. Perhaps only a King can match the merits of Jia's family.
"hehe!"
"When the Emperor ascended the throne, Mongolia and the Later Jin Dynasty colluded and attacked the Qing Dynasty together."
"Emperor Shunkang went to Liaodong and led the whole country to fight against the Later Jin, recaptured the Liaoxi Corridor, and rebuilt the Ningjin Defense Line."
"Who can remember that outside Xuanfu and Datong, there were 500,000 Mongolian cavalrymen eyeing them covetously. There were only a few hundred men from the Ning and Rong branches of the Jia family, and only 100,000 troops were stationed in the two places. They persevered until they were completely wiped out."
"In desperation, the second generation of Rongguo Duke Jia Daishan and Ningguo Mansion head Jia Daihua took a risk and led the Mongolian cavalry into the vast sea, and eventually died together."
"In this battle, the entire Jia family was left with only widows and young children. How miserable!"
"No one could have imagined that my father Jia Jing inherited the title of his ancestors, but only got a first-class general. The same was true for Jia She of the Western Mansion."
"Both palaces saw clearly the royal family's fear, so my father took the imperial examination and became a Jinshi in the Yimao year. Later, he became the crown prince and participated in the Kowloon succession. He was hated by the current emperor and could not even hide in the palace to have fun. He could only become a Taoist priest in Xuanzhen Temple outside the capital."
"Justice is clear. I do all this just to stand on the throne one day.���A sound"
"Is my Jia family wrong?"
The golden sunlight spread all over the earth, reflecting a figure like a real dragon, and the young man gradually showed his strength.
Tana on the side had already been shocked by this secret. Is this the origin of the decline of the Dajing Jia family? It's too incredible!
"The emperor takes turns, this year it's my turn"
"Tana, maybe the world can change its master, right?"
Looking into the distance, Jia Xuan said meaningfully.
""Yes."
Tana's determined eyes showed her immense trust in the young man in front of her.
If any Jurchen or Mongolian from Chengde Prefecture stood here, they would support Jia Xuan without hesitation. For these simple and honest people, the emperor of the capital was far superior to them, but Jia Xuan brought them a new life.
"Second Master!"
At this time, several figures came galloping over from a distance. When they got close, they all dismounted, knelt on one knee, and saluted.
"Get up."
Jia Xuan nodded slightly and said,"I have decided to return to Beijing. I will leave the affairs here to you."
"Jia Shan, you are the prefect of Chengde. The one prefecture and six counties currently established in Chengde must be strengthened as soon as possible."
"In the city, there are markets. For farmers, there are villages, pavilions, and townships to register their fields."
"If they were nomads, they would follow the alliance and banner system, with families as units, dividing pastures and settling conflicts between them."
"Chengde recruited 3,000 prefecture soldiers and 3,000 county soldiers. During the slack season, all young and strong men must receive military training. They can be taught bodybuilding methods and fighting skills to enhance the strength of the entire Chengde Prefecture."
For now, compared with the human immortal martial arts, the ninth-grade martial arts is too crude. It may not be a bad thing to delegate them all. As long as the old bear camp is there, the entire Chengde Prefecture cannot be turned upside down. Even if a ninth-grade martial artist appears, what does it matter?
""Understood!" said a middle-aged man wearing a blue official uniform with a goose patch and a winged hat.
"Jason."
Then, Jia Xuan's eyes fell on the thin middle-aged man with a shrewd look, and he said:"The caravan will be named Chengde for the time being, and the business will be carried out inside and outside the pass."
"Dajing has a population of nearly 200 million. There are many refugees from the neighboring provinces of Shanxi, Hebei, and Qin. They can all be brought into Chengde."
"The cattle, sheep and horses domesticated in Chengde were continuously imported into the capital in exchange for food."
"And we must vigorously recruit craftsmen, whether they are blacksmiths, carpenters, or bricklayers. In short, we must absorb all of them."
"Not only Chengde needs it, Tongliao also needs it. The Chengde caravan will then need to undertake the communication and exchange tasks with Bashang, Modong, Liaodong and other places."
""Yes."
Jason nodded quickly.
"In addition to keeping abreast of the situation of the various Mongolian tribes in the south and the Khalkha Mongolian tribes in the north, Yuntai"
"It is also necessary to infiltrate the various tribes of the Western Oirat Mongols, especially the Dzungar tribe."
"The Eros people in the north are making a move, I need to know what they are doing"
""Understood!"
Jia Feng and Jia Yan looked at each other and answered without thinking.
After the reform, Jia's Yuntai has become a completely independent spy force. In addition to intelligence gathering, the only thing left is assassination.
Such a pure Yuntai can better carry out the tasks assigned by Jia Xuan.
""Yes."
After giving these instructions, Jia Xuan led 3,000 Dragon Guards to the capital.
Niu Jizong and his party were on their way back to the capital. The two needed to arrive outside the capital at least at the same time to avoid attracting other people's attention.
Not long after, the Khalkha Mongolian tribes in the northern desert outside Datong Town received news from Liaodong. The Mongols, who had already suffered heavy losses, chose to withdraw. This made the garrisoned Dajing army feel relieved.
Yuan Congyi led the 12th regiment camp back to the capital. At the same time, Datong Lieutenant General Ben Jinzhong and Xuanfu Lieutenant General Gan Guobao also returned to the capital.........
On the evening of May 10, the camp outside the capital was filled with bonfires and bustling with people.
Soldiers from the Beijing Camp, Jizhen, and Liaozhen who had come from Liaodong gathered here. The Ministry of Internal Affairs had informed them in advance that the emperor would personally welcome them at Deshengmen tomorrow. Three thousand jars of imperial wine and rewards such as pigs, cattle, and sheep were all delivered to the camp in advance.
Amid the clamor, Bei Shi quietly approached Jia Xuan and reported softly:"¨」 ¨」 Commander, Datong Lieutenant General Ben Jinzhong and Xuanfu Lieutenant General Gan Guobao are here."
""Oh?"
Raising his eyebrows, Jia Xuan said hello to Niu Jizong and the others, and left the campfire and returned to his tent.
In the light of the fire, two figures wearing armor could be vaguely seen in the tent. They had unshaven beards and rough looks, and they were veterans in the army.
"Hello, young master!"
Ben Jinzhong and Gan Guobao, who had been waiting for a while, were slightly startled when they saw the newcomer, and hurriedly bowed to greet him.
It must be said that Jia Xuan, who was only sixteen years old, wearing a black brocade with gold thread and a jade crown on his head, was too confusing. He looked like a rich young man. How could he be associated with the supreme strong man who shot and killed the Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty with one arrow and killed a ninth-rank warrior in battle!
"I didn't know that the two generals were coming, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you can forgive me!"
"Please take a seat, both of you. Come, prepare the wine and meat."
Jia Xuan sat down at the head of the table and gestured with his hand.
""Thank you, young master!"
Seeing this, Ben Jinzhong and Gan Guobao relaxed their expressions and sat down without hesitation.
As the lieutenant generals of Datong and Xuanfu, they participated in this war and fought side by side with the Yuan Cong lineage. To a large extent, they would be regarded as members of the Yuan Cong lineage, and the Yuan Cong lineage and the founding lineage have always been at odds.
Therefore, they were very worried that their arrival would make Jia Xuan unhappy, but they did not expect Jia Xuan's attitude to be so cheerful, which made the two of them feel good about him. After all, they had also come into contact with Zheng Keshuang and others from the Yuan Cong lineage, all of whom looked domineering.
"The 12th Regiment is still behind, and it is said that it will take a few days to arrive in Beijing. Why did you two come first?"
Jia Xuan asked with a smile.
As soon as the voice fell.
Ben Jinzhong and Gan Guobao looked at each other, and a bitter smile appeared on their lips.
"To be honest, Master"
"We two have received the imperial edict and will go to Beijing with the others at Deshengmen tomorrow."
���Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Xuan's expression changed, and he immediately smiled and said meaningfully:"In this case, I would like to congratulate you two."
"Young Master, please stop teasing us."
"In this battle, Liaodong won a great victory, Datong lost many soldiers and generals. As the lieutenant generals of Datong and Xuanfu, we two cannot escape the blame."
"Your Majesty does not punish us, but treats us like this. We are flattered, so we come here today to ask for advice from you, young master."
Ben Jin said in a loyal voice
"That's right!"
Gan Guobao also focused his attention on the handsome young man at the top.
With an indifferent look, Jia Xuan said,"The two generals are joking."
"The responsibility for the Battle of Datong does not lie with you, but with the General of Datong and the General of Pingbei."
"The Datong general supported Zheng Keshuang's risky attack and was seriously injured and on the verge of death, resulting in heavy losses for the 12th Battalion and Datong Town troops, and their morale plummeted."
"Under such circumstances, Datong can be stabilized, and the two of you have made great contributions to the country."
"This is a toast to both of you."
He raised the glass in his hand.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
Ben Jinzhong and Gan Guobao below were touched and raised their glasses to toast Jinjin.
Only they knew how bad the situation on the front line of Datong was. The original 50,000 Datong Town soldiers and 180,000 soldiers from the 12th Regiment Camp went out of the city to fight with 100,000 Mongolian cavalry. Both sides suffered losses, but Zheng Keshuang never expected that there was a ninth-grade warrior in the Mongolian army, who hit him and the general of Datong hard.
It can be said that if it were not for the 230,000 people on the Dajing side, Zheng Keshuang would probably not be able to come back.
With the commander dying, Ben Jinzhong resolutely took over the command. Under the attack of the Mongolian cavalry, he defended the precarious Datong and waited until Gan Guobao led the Xuanfu reinforcements to arrive, and even killed and injured tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry. It was not easy.
The general of Datong and the nobles of the Yuan Cong lineage did not remember this credit in their hearts, but instead blamed them for preserving their strength.
Until today, they heard such fair words for the first time, and it came from Jia Xuan's mouth, which was equivalent to clearing the names of the two. How could they not be moved?.
