Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Sister Feng's heart trembled when she heard the words: "Second Lord, don't talk about it, I'm panicking."

In fact, Jia Lian still had a bigger worry in his heart that he didn't dare to tell Sister Feng, and that was the Shi family father and son.Just now when he was in the palace, he heard that the news from Haijiang had also been interrupted. Jia Lian wondered if the Shi family and his son had turned to King Zhongyi.

I don't know what Emperor Qianyuan thought, knowing that Shi Feng was the son-in-law of the Shi family, he didn't flee in the Zhongyi County King, but revoked the historian's military power. .

Jia Lian even speculated whether the reason why Wang Ziteng lost contact was also related to his transfer of troops to the Shi family and his son.

Judging from Shi Xiangyun's complaints about doing needlework day and night at home, Baolinghou, a fool, has donated most of his family's money to King Zhongyi for restoration.

In the previous life, Jia Zhen contributed half of her family wealth to King Zhongyi because she felt guilty about Qin Keqing's death.

In this life, Jia Lian stopped in time, and Jia Zhen fled out of Beijing before he formally formed an alliance with King Zhongyi, finally saving Jia Zhen from the deadlock of the alliance.

Not only did Jia Lian dare not tell Sister Feng about these secrets, he also dared not reveal them to Emperor Qianyuan. In fact, it was too late to reveal them at this time.

Jia Lian only thought that if he could rush to Ping Anzhou before the historians and his son became enemies, he would see if he could leave room for the historians to switch.

Jia Lian, Yaoyao's head, forcibly forgot about these messy and temporarily unsolvable things.

He comforted Sister Feng with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Sister Qiao's life and brother's life has just begun. I will protect them and never let anyone hurt them."

Sister Feng said: "I believe in the second master."

Jia Lian ironed in his heart: "This is still true. If you don't believe me, who else will you trust? Therefore, I must go to Ping'an Prefecture. I want to break their conspiracy and rescue the third uncle and King Xi County. This is also my chance to make contributions. Success or failure depends on In this move, I have to go.”

At this time, Sister Feng was already caught by Jia Lian's words.

She knew that if the rebels succeeded, not to mention Jia Lian, the entire Jia family would not end well.Therefore, Sister Feng's spicy temper raised her head again, and she swore: "Second Master, go, I am at home."

Jia Lian pinched Sister Feng's cheeks: "This is our grandma Feng Lazi!"

Sister Feng pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Second Master, give the twins a baby name."

Jia Lian rolled his eyes and said: "If you win a thousand miles, you will succeed immediately. My daughter will be called Sister Qian, and my son will be my brother." Sister Feng clapped her hands when she heard the words: "Sister Qian, brother Cheng, sounds good, the key is that the meaning is good." .”

This evening was Jia Lian's last night at home. The husband and wife sat together and had a few drinks. Sister Feng seldom ate food and served Jia Lian all the time. A bowl of rice: "Second Master, eat more, you can't eat the good rice and dishes from this house outside."

Jia Lian didn't need to eat it, but after smelling it, he already knew that the table was full of spiritual vegetables and rice grown in his own courtyard.

The former Daoxiang Village was mostly occupied by the Martial Arts Hall, and the remaining five acres have been collected by Sister Feng, and a small stream of spiritual spring water has been brought to the fields. They have been cultivated in spring, and five stones of rouge rice and ten stones of japonica rice have been harvested in autumn. The masters of the Rongguo Mansion have been eating for a year.

Jia Lian's body and mind are ironed, and she can't help but secretly praise Sister Feng for her quick thinking.Can't help but think to myself.I'm afraid that if I don't come back this time, Sister Feng can also get nourishment and sweetness.

Immediately, Jia Lian spit secretly a few times, and spit quietly according to her mother's confession when she was a child: "Bad words are not effective, but good words are effective."

Sister Feng was pregnant with her child and was looking for things for Jia Lian. She was very tired and fell asleep soon.

Jia Lian was very reluctant, but had to go to the martial arts hall.

At this moment, Jia Yun is waiting for Jia Lian with twenty of the best children in Changping.

The oldest of these children is only thirteen, and the youngest is only eight years old. Tomorrow, they will go to Ping Anzhou in southern Xinjiang ahead of Jia Lian, and stand in front of Jia Lian.

When Jia Lian arrived, the children were all dressed up and their faces were covered with dust, just like when they first came.

Jia Lian looked at the twelve children and asked, "Ping'an Island has probably been occupied by rebels, and you may lose your life if you go there, so now I will give you a chance to repent, and children who don't want to go can take a step back." Don't worry, even if you quit, I won't let you go. It's just that if you retreat today, it means that you are not suitable to be scouts. From now on, you can no longer stay in Changping and practice martial arts with Master Guan, but you will be assigned to the farm to do it. Farmers, from now on, you will be the servants of our Jia family for generations, with no worries about food and clothing, but you will not be able to make contributions if you want to become self-reliant."

Jia Lian paused, and said: "Listen to my order now, those who don't want to go to Ping'an Island to be scouts, and those who want to go to the farm, take three steps back!"

The results proved that Pan You'an and Liu Xianglian had unique vision, and Guan Shan's teaching was also very successful.

Jia Lian was very moved and said, "Okay, since you are willing to live and die with me, I promise that as long as you can come back alive, you will be my relatives from now on. From the day you come back, you will no longer be relatives. Orphans, all children who do not remember their names will be given the surname Jia. From now on, you will be members of the Jia family and enjoy all the resources of the Jia clan. Those who remember their names may or may not have the surname Jia, but you can still Live in Jia's house in the back street, become a member of the opposite sex of Jia's family, share the prosperity and prosperity with my Jia family, and share the misfortunes and blessings."

The twenty children were very excited no matter whether they remembered their surnames or not, because Jia Lian still had a word to say, but he expressed his meaning very clearly. Jia Lian was talking about clansmen, not slaves. Pan You'an and Liu Xianglian bought and sold through various channels.

They had been slaves all their lives, but at this moment they suddenly became civilians again.

Becoming a poor person means that you can study, join the army, and make contributions through various channels. In the future, you will be supported by the Jia family. beggars.

Who is not happy?

The twenty children all knelt down to Jia Lian, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Second Master!"

“We will definitely do our best.

"We will never disappoint Second Master!"

"Second Master, don't worry."

"Second master will definitely win the flag!"

Jia Lian once again persuaded Jia Yun: "You need to preside over the affairs of the capital, why don't you go to Ping Anzhou?"

Jia Yun was extremely determined: "Second uncle, my nephew has been practicing with my second uncle for three years. Whether it is a mule or a horse, I always have to take it out for a walk. Otherwise, my nephew will feel uneasy. Besides, with so many people in the clan, my nephew will be taken out for a walk. My second uncle's blue-eyed cultivator has done nothing, so he will hardly gain prestige among the tribe in the future."

Jia Lian nodded upon hearing the words: "Who do you think can take over your errand?"

Jia Yun thought for a while, then said: "The most suitable is Mr. Liu Xianglian Liu."

"The children of the family, when it comes to studying, Jia Zhu, Jia Lan, and Brother Lang from Uncle Zhu's family are all good. It is not a problem for them to make friends with rich and noble families, but it is not satisfactory for them to make friends with people from the Jianghu family."

"Jia Ling followed me and had a lot of contact with all kinds of schools and schools, but he didn't go to a government school, nor did he go to the Imperial Academy, so he couldn't get into the Xungui circle.

"Brother Rong in the East Mansion is suitable for making friends with wealthy sons. If the second uncle can't invite Mr. Liu, he can only share the burden with Brother Rong and Jia Ling, and then summarize it. This requires a comprehensive analysis person to come out from the huge It is not easy to filter out useful things from all the information.”

Jia Lian sighed when he heard the words, the children in the clan had only entered school for one year.They haven't fully practiced yet, or in other words, Jia Lian is too busy to introduce them to the aristocratic circle of Kyoto.

Furthermore, no matter how surnamed Jia a person is, you can't force him into a certain circle for no reason.Like Jia Yun, he was accepted by the wealthy circle at the beginning because the heirs of Jia Lian and Jia Rong personally took him around to socialize, and then he met noble sons like Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan. With his family members present, Jia Yun was able to calmly intervene, and gradually he also had friends who were like-minded.

And he was able to get the approval of Jianghu Caomang because he had been living with his uncle on the street since he was a child, and he was clever and willing to help others, so he accumulated many contacts.

Jia Lan can be trusted, but unfortunately he was influenced by his mother Li Wan, and he yearned for the noble circle.After Wei Baozhu's incident, Li Wan was overwhelmed, and Jia Lan was not allowed to get acquainted with the young master of Men Xungui's family, for fear that those who were close to him would be blackmailed.

Li Wan's widow raised a son, and Jia Lian couldn't force him to change his mind.

Jia Jun is bold, and also a great-great-grandson of the Ning family.However, her mother is also a widow raising a child, and she was terrified after what happened last time. At least for now, she doesn't like her son's association with the young masters of Xungui's family.

Jia Lian thought about it, and suddenly realized that Jia Rong and Jia Ling were the only ones who were suitable. Jia Ling didn't want to study for the imperial examination, so she was suitable for getting in touch with the low class.Jia Rong is open to eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and she is also a celebrity in front of the Queen Mother, so she is very suitable for the circle of nobles.

As for summarizing, at present, they can only save their brains and make a decision when they come back.

Jia Ling was in the mansion, and that night, Jia Yun explained clearly to him, and handed over a dozen children who helped run errands to Jia Ling.

In the early morning of the next day, Jia Lian blocked Jia Rong who was doing morning exercises at home, and entrusted him to temporarily take over the errand of collecting intelligence in Kyoto.

Jia Rong wanted to do something for the family a long time ago, so she agreed.

Jia Lian himself went to Xishan to gather troops without stopping.

General Feng Tang has received the secret order from Emperor Qianyuan, and knows that Jia Lian has been secretly ordered to go to Pingan Island for rescue. Therefore, when Jia Lian arrived in Xishan, the entire Shotgun Battalion and Xiaoqi Battalion were ready to accept Jia Lian's selection.

Jia Lian was joined by Feng Tang to board the commanding platform of the barracks, and he introduced Jia Lian to the officers and soldiers of the two battalions: "This is the emperor's majesty's Qin bamboo slips, Jia Lian, the new captain of the Pingzi camp, and now the captain Jia will give you a lecture! "

Jia Lian took a step forward, bowed and cupped his hands, made a circle and said, "Jia is being polite as a general."

There were a few responses below: "I've met Captain Jia."

Jia Lian raised his hand, and when it was quiet down below, he said: "Jia was ordered by the holy order to rush to Ping'an Island, and His Majesty promised Jia half of the cavalry camp and half of the shotgun camp. So, what I want to say is that the first time I go to Ping'an Continents can make meritorious deeds, and they may be decapitated. Therefore, my recruitment policy is voluntary. If you are not willing, you will follow me. Well, if you don’t work hard, it’s better not to go. My recruitment is better than lack. Therefore, everyone listens to my orders, and the officers and soldiers who are willing to follow Jia to Pinganzhou to fight for a future run ten steps forward. "There are 300 people in a battalion, and Jia Lian needs 150 soldiers from the Shotgun Battalion and 150 soldiers from the Xiaoqi Battalion.

Jia Lian is ready to use the echelon team to replace the vacancy of soldiers.As a result, the number of soldiers and horses from the two battalions voluntarily reached 390, which greatly exceeded Jia Lian's expectations.

Among them, the Shotgun Battalion occupied by the royal clan's in-laws had 160 soldiers who voluntarily signed up, and the remaining 230 were from the Xiaoqi Battalion.

Jia Lian was dumbfounded.He also has 22 members of the Cloud Echelon Squad, who must be brought along because they have undergone special training from Jia Lian and have powerful sneak attack capabilities.There are [-] more fishermen, and Jia Lian must take them with him, because all the water battles in Ping'an Island depend on them.

Therefore, Jia Lian originally planned to recruit 260 people in the two battalions of Xishan, plus these 40 people to form a battalion. Now, there are nearly 42 more people who have signed up, plus [-] new troops. Of the twenty scouts led by Jia Yun, the entire battalion has been strengthened.

Jia Lian didn't dare to resist the order, and Emperor Qianyuan only gave him the establishment of 300 people.

Therefore, Jia Lian looked happy, and made a bow again: "Thank you brothers for trusting Jia. Jia is very moved and admired by all brothers who can stand up in the face of national crisis. However, the establishment system given by His Majesty There are only 300 people, so Jia Lian made a discussion with everyone, the only brother in the family, please come out."

Jia Lian waited for a long time, but there was no movement.I had no choice but to speak again: "Now, brothers who are just married and have no children, please come out."

Still no one moved.

Jia Lian was stunned, looked at General Feng Tang and asked, "Will Xishan not accept the only son into the camp?"

Feng Tang smiled and waved: "Zhang Yuguan, according to the roster, jump out the only child in the family."

Zhang Yuguan was familiar with these soldiers, and quickly picked out sixty only sons, all of whom were born in noble families in Kyoto.

Among them was Mr. Liu, who was the third room of Duke Liu's family. He was dragged out and struggled all the way: "There are eight sons in my Liu family, and I belong to five. Don't mess around."

Feng Tang snorted: "There are many sons in the fifth room of your family, but your father has only one son, you go, go back and ask your father to write a bond with me, and you can go."

Liu Jiazi was suddenly speechless.

Seeing that 63 people left at once, Jia Lian's strength suddenly decreased.He looked at the 63 people who wanted to be kicked out and said with a smile: "I also ask Brother Zhu Wei to help Jia hold his eyes and pick out the brothers who have just become relatives among the remaining people."

These 60 people were annoyed, and they were immediately happy when they heard the words, and 30 people were quickly picked out.

Jia Lian saw that the value of the six people exceeded the standard, and he could barely make a deal with Emperor Qianyuan.

Jia Lian looked at the three hundred and six people again: "Please come out, gentlemen."

All of a sudden, six officials came out.

This guy, he picked out all the officials in the two battalions of Xishan?

Jia Lian was very surprised: "So many?"

The six officials all bluffed their faces: "Lieutenant Jia is not willing to take me to the front line to earn a hidden future?"

Jia Lian waved his hand: "How dare you!"

Jia Lian was very happy, because of the existence of these officials, Jia Lian would be very worried about controlling this army.However, Jia Lian only needed three Langguans, but now there are six.

While Jia Lian was overjoyed, he was a little depressed: "But, I don't have enough manpower here, so I only need three Lang officials?"

The six snorted coldly: "We don't necessarily have to lead a hundred people?"

When Jia Lian heard the words, he suddenly became enlightened, and said with a smile: "Please recruit your subordinates, gentlemen."

As a result, the 300 people were quickly divided into six square formations, but the number was uneven.

Jia Lian showed his courage at this moment: "Please line up in six columns."

Then, Jia Lian cut off the players after [-] in the long team and added to the back of the short team. Anyone who disobeyed would be deemed to have automatically abstained.

Jia Lian himself led the Yunti team of 20 people, two fishermen, 20 scouts, and 62 people, exactly seven young men.

The Xishan Manufacturing Office quickly created new identity badges for these more than 300 officers and soldiers, such as a certain soldier in a certain team of Pingziying.Although these identity plates cannot be carried on the set, their names will be registered in the battalion book of the new Pingzi battalion, and will be rewarded in the roster after the war.

In the afternoon of this day, Jia Lian had a simple discussion with the six Lang Guan and reached an agreement that the personnel of the Lang team should be under the control of the Lang Guan, but Jia Lian would decide what military affairs to be carried out.

After Jia Lian discussed with Feng Tang's forbidden army and the six officials, he decided to equip all the officers and soldiers with weapons and equipment the next day, as long as they only need shotguns, sleeve arrows, and these life-saving things.What's more, because the rescue this time is sneaking in secretly, food and grass cannot be transported with great fanfare. Therefore, each officer and soldier must prepare his own food for a month, plus guns and sleeve arrows. In this way, each soldier must carry at least five Ten catties.

Jia Lian felt such a heavy burden when he saw it, it was not suitable for officers and soldiers to rush quickly.

Because it is winter now, Jia Lian and others cannot ride horses, and they cannot travel in a fair manner within a hundred days. Therefore, the round-trip distance of seven days in the past will now double the time for one side.Jia Lian's plan was to spend [-] days lying in bed at night and going out at night, without any crows and birds, to attack Ping'an Island.

The reason why Jia Lian set off four days in advance was to use the time to investigate the situation in Ping'anzhou, so as to know himself and the enemy, and reduce his own losses.

If Jia Yun's child soldiers are going well, Jia Lian is expected to sneak in in one fell swoop and win by surprise when the rebels are paralyzed on New Year's Eve.

Therefore, General Feng Tang suggested that before entering Ping'an Island, the officers and soldiers of Xishan disguised themselves as caravans and secretly provided food for the officers and soldiers. After entering Ping'an Island, the officers and soldiers would carry the food and grass by themselves.Feng Tang also proposed that they would set up a secret station outside Ping Anzhou to provide food, grass and weapons supplies to the officers and soldiers of Ping Anzhou.In order to prevent the officers and soldiers who rushed into the situation of running out of ammunition and food.

Jia Lian took it very seriously, and paid homage to Feng Tang: "The general is very scheming, and this junior admires him."

General Feng smiled complacently: "It's easy to say."

On the third day, Jia Lian set off and Feng Ziying arrived at Xishan.

Jia Lian was stunned: "I lost contact with Ping'an Island, shouldn't you be looking around for news now, why did you come back to Xishan?"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "All the troops that our General Secretary sneaked into Ping'an Continent were pulled out. Your Majesty sent me to re-enter Ping'an Continent to establish a new outpost to cooperate with you in suppressing the rebellion and bandits."

Jia Lian frowned: "So? It doesn't seem to matter if you go back to Xishan, right?"

Feng Ziying smiled and said, "I want to borrow ink books and ink paintings from you."

Jia Lian immediately understood: "You are going to change your identities, but I'm afraid they are very nervous now, no matter who they are, they must go through strict inspection."

Immediately, Jia Lian came to a sudden: "Aren't you going to enter the city as rioters and beggars?"

Feng Ziying pointed: "Smart! It is said that because of the government's heavy taxation and exploitation, the people of Ping'an Island have long been in dire straits. Therefore, it is the best cover for us to pretend to be refugees fleeing famine."

Jia Lian looked at the handsome Feng Ziying and shook his head: "It's a pity that you have such a good face."

Feng Ziying cried and laughed in a serious manner: "There is no way, the second thief and his subordinates all know me, otherwise, I will be a down-and-out swordsman and become her guest, wouldn't it be a pleasure!"

The King of Zhongyi County used to like to get along with people from all walks of life in the capital. On the one hand, he recruited talents, and on the other hand, he was good to those wealthy second-generation ancestors who had a lot of money, and tricked them into donating their money to buy courtiers.

If the Duke of Zhongyi didn't know Feng Ziying, Feng Ziying, as a swordsman, was the target of the Duke of Zhongyi's recruitment. This would be a good way to hide.

The execution of Ping Anzhou is related to Feng Ziying's life, how can Jia Lian be stingy, he lent the ink book to Feng Ziying for use, because the ink painting has already set off with Jia Yun ahead of schedule.

In addition to promising to borrow ink paintings for Feng Ziying to use, Jia Lian also told Feng Ziying: "You go to Rongfu before you leave. Your sister-in-law has some healing medicines in her hand. Ask her to give you some spares."

Parting, Jia Lian and Feng Ziying, the two sworn brothers, held hands tightly, with both encouragement and worry.

Going to Ping Anzhou, life and death are only a thin line.

After bidding farewell to Feng Ziying, Jia Lian led Pingziying away from Xishan and headed for Ping'anzhou Road.
