[Red Chamber] Jia Huan's Army

After returning home from Tanchun Three Dynasties, she followed Nan'an Wang Gengyuan and stayed in Beijing for more than a month. During this period, in addition to serving Nan'an Wang Taifei in the mansion, she also often returned to the uncle's mansion to accompany Aunt Zhao under the urging of her mother-in-law. Not much difference.Fortunately, Nan'an Wang Taifei is open-minded, and sometimes Tanchun invites Aunt Zhao to Nan'an Wangfu as a guest.Although Aunt Zhao and Princess Nan'an have different backgrounds and backgrounds, Princess Nan'an also followed her husband to see people suffering from the people in the early years, and both of them have straightforward temperaments, so they were unexpectedly able to chat.By the time Tanchun followed Geng Yuan back to the north to take up his post, the two in-laws, who were bored at home, were already very familiar with each other.

On the day Tanchun left Beijing with Geng Yuan, Jia Huan went to see him off, but Aunt Zhao didn't follow because she was reluctant.Only Sun Shaozu and Yingchun couple came together.

"Seeing off thousands of miles, there will be a farewell. Well, let's go here." When King Nan'an left the capital before, he always had one person and one horse, at most followed by a group of soldiers.He never liked this kind of farewell scene.It's just that this time he took his wife to take office, so the scene is naturally different.

Sun Shaozu was still somewhat restrained in front of King Nan'an and did not speak.Instead, Jia Huan listened and said jokingly: "I'm still pointing to the wine that I can get my brother-in-law to drink. It's in vain for me to follow these roads."

Seeing Jia Huan laughing, Geng Yuan couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his abdomen.On the day of returning home, this kid beat himself up hard with the strength of alcohol for his behavior on the day of welcoming his relatives, and his subordinates were too dark.Such a narrow-minded brother-in-law with a backstage presence at the booth couldn't be scolded or beaten.

"How dare I not give you a drink? If there is a chance in the future, let's have a good drink. Speaking of which, when you were in Ancheng last year, you were all forced to the ground. You have to practice hard for such a small amount of alcohol."

Sun Shaozu is also used to winking. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "How can you not prepare wine to see you off?"

The three of them were all from the army, and they couldn't imitate the literati's way of drinking a cup and a farewell poem. Instead, each of them took a big cup, drank it down, and said with a smile: "Cheer up! Drink this cup, and wait until later Let's meet again for another drink!"

At this time, Tanchun and Yingchun also finished their goodbyes, their eyes were red.But no matter how reluctant you are, the parting that should come will always come.A group of people watched the chariots and horses of King Nan'an go away, and then dispersed separately.

Tanchun's marriage was completely settled, and with the departure of Tanchun and Nan'an Wang, Jia Huan suddenly returned to a leisurely life.Every day, in addition to dealing with various entertainments in the Earl's Mansion, he went to the Yamen to order a job, to practice martial arts, accompany Aunt Zhao, check Wang Rui's homework, and then sneak out of the mansion with the child to play.As for the meeting with Mo Lian, often in the dead of night, it was like an affair.

Once he was really free, Jia Huan thought he would be satisfied, but found that he could not avoid thinking about his life on the battlefield.In the past, on the battlefield, he always thought that after making great contributions, he would be able to live in peace and stability after returning to Beijing after his family was separated.It's just that now that he can really live a peaceful and leisurely life, he misses the days of living and dying with his comrades even more. Although it is hard and tiring, the excitement of defeating the enemy and the touch of getting along with his comrades are all memories. indelible.Especially every time he made false claims with those aristocratic masters, he would miss the days in the frontier even more.

"What's the matter with you recently?" Mo Lian frowned, looked at Jia Huan who was distracted again, and asked worriedly.

Jia Huan came back to his senses and asked back: "I feel like I've gone back."

"How to say?"

"Now I'm too idle," Jia Huan said hesitantly, "I always feel like I've become a dandy again. Except for my martial arts, I just drink and drink with those aristocratic masters all day long. Speaking of the family's short-sightedness, I know all about things like the big fool of the Xue family being beaten instead of being molested. And the office of the Ministry of War is just a trick, and there is no real thing at all. If this continues, I'm really afraid that I will be raised and abandoned gone."

Mo Lian was amused, and he was very clear about Xue Pan's beating mentioned by Jia Huan.When Xue Pan failed to molest Jia Huan before, he sent people to follow him. If Xue Pan kicked Liu Xianglian this time, the people he sent not only watched the whole process, but also went up after Liu Xianglian left. He mended a few feet hard to relieve his anger.I'm afraid that after this, Xue Pan will have to lie at home to recover from his injuries for several days, and he will not dare to appear on the streets of Sijiu City for a long time.

"I heard that the coastal defense in the south is unstable now, and pirates are running around..."

"No!" Before Jia Huan finished speaking, Mo Lian interrupted sharply, "The guards of the coastal provinces are more than enough to deal with those stragglers. There is no need for the imperial court to send troops. Besides, you have no experience in naval warfare. I don't know." Rest assured."

Jia Huan also knew that his request was a little reckless. Although he was a little unhappy when Mo Lian interrupted him suddenly, he also knew that what Mo Lian said was reasonable, so he changed his words: "I just said it casually, and I didn't really think about it. Then go and die."

Seeing that Jia Huan was serious, Mo Lian softened his face and said softly, "That's good. If you feel bored, I'll order someone to transfer you to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing?"

"Not right," Jia Huan shook his head. Although he was very excited about going to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, he also knew that none of the nobles with titles in the capital had real power in their hands. If he set a precedent like this, Mo Lian will be in trouble in the future, "There are no vacancies in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and it's not a time of war. I'm afraid it will be of no use if I go there like this, and it will only cause trouble."

"It's okay," Mo Lian said, playing with Jia Huan's hair, "They won't know."

Jia Huan knew that since Mo Lian said so, he must have full confidence, but it would take a lot of effort to do so.Although it was very tempting, after thinking for a while, Jia Huan still shook his head and said, "Don't bother, just wait and see if there is anything I need."

Mo Lian saw that Jia Huan was so persistent, so he didn't say anything else, but secretly paid attention to Jia Huan, and even called him into the palace every day to discuss state affairs.

Sitting aside, Jia Huan looked at the folder in Mo Lian's hand, and asked in confusion, "Why haven't the pirates in the south been resolved yet? It's been several months."

Mo Lian's face became colder and colder. He was the first to review the daily battle reports. Coupled with the superstitions sent by his spies, he knew almost everything about the battle situation in the south.The pirates are different from the Mongols on the northern border. For the Mongols, no matter how much they harass the northern border, they still have something to consider. After all, their home is always there. There is no way to keep it, and it will affect the tribe.Nabatu Monk and the Tatars under his rule are the best example.The pirates are different, they sailed thousands of miles, narrowly escaped death, just for such a vote, and no worries.Compared with the Mongols, their methods are even more inhumane and more harmful. The most troublesome thing is that their harassment is not regular, which makes coastal areas guard against it.

"The commander of the capitals of Fujian and Zhejiang is also an idiot." Mo Lian said coldly.

Seeing that Mo Lian was really angry, Jia Huan knew that the two of them must have nothing to gain.When Jia Huan was thinking about the countermeasures in the south, he heard a "pop" and slapped the memorial in his hand on the case, shaking the pen holder on the case to the point of shaking.Jia Huan was taken aback.

"what happened?"

Mo Lian handed over the memorial in his hand without saying a word, Jia Huan took a look, and couldn't help but change his expression, he said in surprise: "This is called house leakage and continuous night rain?"

It turns out that these days, the Fujian and Zhejiang regions have not only been harassed by pirates repeatedly, but also caused floods due to continuous torrential rains, and the people were displaced for a while, suffering unspeakably.This brochure was submitted overnight by the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province.

Mo Lian couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up directly, and invited people into the palace overnight to discuss disaster relief.

He looked at Jia Huan who was eager to stay, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Forget it, you can stay too."

Jia Huan nodded happily, and then said: "If possible, disaster relief..."

Mo Lian looked at Jia Huan's wide-eyed look at himself. Although he was full of worries, he also knew that Jia Huan now had his own ambitions, and he couldn't just imprison him in Sijiu City according to his own wishes. .If there is not too much danger, he has to learn to rest assured.So Mo Lian didn't say anything to refuse after all, but said: "Let's see if there is a suitable candidate for now."

After hearing this, Jia Huan knew that Mo Lian had loosened up, so he nodded quickly and sat aside.

The Minister of the Household Department, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the three veteran cabinet ministers were all Mo Lian's confidantes summoned into the palace overnight.After discussions in the middle of the night, the materials for the southward disaster relief and the person in charge were finally determined.At the same time, the army that escorted the supplies and the generals who led the troops were also determined.This leading general is none other than Jia Huan who has been longing for something to do.

In Mo Lian's view, there was no danger in escorting the relief supplies this time. Although it was a bit bitter, it was much safer than going to the south to fight pirates.Therefore, the task of escorting the relief supplies was undertaken by Jia Huan, which also fulfilled Jia Huan's wish.

Now that all the procedures have been negotiated, all that is needed is to raise and mobilize supplies and troops. With Mo Lian's strong support, everything is ready and ready to go in just three days.
