Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Of course, Jia Lian also invited Tang Hui, Wang Lei, Wu Yong and Luo Shicheng to play at the same time, but there was no reply.

Jia Lian invited them to play for them at the fifth rank of the military rank, and to lead a group of subordinates from the fifth rank, they must be one level higher.Although Tang Hui, Wang Lei and Wu Yong both have the title of Yunqiwei, they have no official rank after all.

The popular saying is that at present, the top and bottom of the Imperial Forest Army are dispatched by the former ministers, and all dispatches are based on the will of the emperor.Once appointed by the Ministry of War, he can participate in political discussions and belong to the officials of the six ministries.

Jia Lian silently pondered the meaning of the existence of the water pattern. Could it be that he is the one who is going to pick the last fruit of the Imperial Forest Army?I have made no mistakes, and I have made great achievements in military training, so why should your majesty kill me and let others pick the fruits?

The war is imminent, are you afraid of shaking the morale of the army?

After all, it is still taboo for people with different surnames to lead soldiers.It is impossible for Jia Lian to be a son-in-law, and his children are too young to be married to his in-laws. He has no ties to the royal family, so the emperor is not at ease!

Jia Lian sneered, it seems that he took out too many things, Emperor Qianyuan thought he was about to run out of talents, and wanted to kill the donkey?

Jia Lian thought about what he had done in the past few years, it could be said to be flawless, and he had no reason to be controlled by others.

No matter how narrow-minded Emperor Qianyuan was, he should be wary of what the world says.

Judging from the current situation, Shuiwen is not yet capable of replacing himself.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian ignored the matter.

There must be a way to the front of the mountain!

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Jia Lian led his guards out of Xizhimen, and under the watchful eyes of Jia's mother, Jia Shefeng, and five children, set foot on the road to the west.

This time, Jia Lian asked the soldiers not to ride horses or carts, and all the 300 carriages of the battalion were used for military supplies.

The three battalions rotated to transport military supplies, while the remaining two battalions conducted emergency march training.

The Yulin Army set up their camp at Maozheng every day, and Shenzheng set up their camp. Except for an hour at noon for lunch and rest, they marched [-] miles a day.Five days later, at Shenshi on the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jia Lian led the Imperial Forest Army to the camp of the Krupp army in northern Xinjiang.

Wei Kun looked at the imperial forest army who had marched for five days, but was full of energy and well-founded, and felt that the younger generation was formidable.

Although Jia Lian was not a general, the fact that he allowed a team to have such fighting power in a short period of time showed his skill in running an army.No wonder Laner was full of praise for him.

Seeing the strong morale of this team, Wei Kun secretly calculated in his mind that if this team sent reinforcements, they could arrive in northern Xinjiang in about two days, which was a bit scary.With the assistance of cavalry, the marching speed should be increased.

Thinking that this time it was the formation provided by Jia Lian that finally defeated the Tartars who came to fight Caogu. Thinking of this, the smile on Wei Kun's face became more sincere.

When Jia Lian arrived in the Krupp army, it can be said that he revisited the old place.He deliberately paid attention to the generals of Wei Kun to see if there were any generals guarding the frontier, but he searched the barracks and found no trace. Jia Lian thought about his appearance. He was about 40 years old at the time, not much older than himself. In what health center to boil the qualifications.

Jia Lian carefully recalled that the surname of the general guarding the border should be Huang. This person became the general guarding the border 15 years later, and now he should be a captain. The world is so big, how many people have the surname Huang?

Jia Lian had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being.

That night, Wei Kun served Jia Lian with wine, thinking that he would disturb the Krupp army for half a year in the future, so Jia Lian proudly presented the Krupp army with thousands of altars of fine wine, totaling [-] jin.Don't underestimate thousands of catties of fine wine. Jia Lian used to hang out in northern Xinjiang. In the eyes of soldiers in northern Xinjiang, spirits are no different than life-saving medicine. If you suffer from cold, you can use this to wipe your body to drive away the cold, and if you have a severe fever, you can use this to reduce fever.

Spirits are not only liked by soldiers in northern Xinjiang, but also by grassland tartars. Just like Han people like silver, fine wine can be used as silver in exchange for anything you want.

This is the reason why Jia Lian proposed to pay off the debt with wine after seeing the strong wine.

Therefore, Jia Lian gave them ten thousand catties of spirits, which made them more happy than gifting them ten thousand taels of silver.

In northern Xinjiang, food is only enough to feed the hunger, and no one is stupid enough to use food to make wine.

As long as you have spirits and transport them to the border in a proper way, you will be rich.Therefore, it is not a myth that Jia Lian said that spirits should be exchanged for horses.

That night, Jia Lian set up camp at Wei Kun's designated place.

In the early morning of the next day, when the Krupp army began to drill, Jia Lian had already led his troops away from the Krupp army's garrison, and led the Imperial Forest Army into the grassland for [-] miles, opened up the formation, and started a day of formation confrontation training.

By the time the Krupp army arrived, the Imperial Forest Army had already finished warming up.

Wei Kun is keen on the advance and retreat of the Imperial Forest Army, and he is even more curious about the equipment of the Imperial Forest Army. He proposes to train against Jia Lian to hone the army's ability to fight.

It's a pity that this is just Wei Kun's wishful thinking. His three major captains don't look down on Jia Lian, a young man with no hair.Not to mention Jia Lian's child soldiers under fifteen.

Jia Lian didn't think it was disobedient, and respected Wei Kun's proposal very much. With a wave of the flag, Pingziying set up a battle.The reason why Jia Lian ordered Pingziying to fight was to be honest because he was afraid of the toughness of the Krupp army in his heart.

Pingziying has practiced Wudang boxing for a longer period of time. Although they are less powerful, they are all very light-hearted, and they can protect themselves at critical moments.

Furthermore, most of Shuiziying and Kuiziying are descendants of nobles from Kyoto, and there are even clansmen like Shuiwen who cannot be offended.

Jia Lian was not only afraid that they would be injured, but also worried that these young masters would get angry and act indiscriminately, which would damage the relationship between the two armies.

The Krupp army feared the Tartars, because the Tartars grew up on horseback since childhood, and the horses seemed to have become part of their bodies.The prairie Tartars raided grass valleys to rob the grain for the winter. Without food, they would die. They fought desperately when they came up. Compared with them, our soldiers did not have enough momentum.

Therefore, the Krupp army alone is no match for the Tartars.

However, they have lived in northern Xinjiang for many years, and they have been contaminated with the toughness of the north, and they don't even look at these pink and tender children in Pingziying.

Wei Kun ordered Ke Ziying to fight.

The Pingzi Battalion started the battle, but the Kezi Battalion only came out to fight.

Ping Ziying was a little confused, how could such a person fight?

Jia Lian remained calm.

With a wave of Tang Hui's flag, guerrilla strikes on both wings joined together end to end to perform the spirit snake step, spun around ten people quickly, and attacked alternately with swords, guns, swords, halberds, rattan cards, and wolves, instantly picking up the weapons of the three guards.

It was too late for the remaining seven people to be vigilant.The 24 members of the Zhanfeng team formed two and three formations and killed them. In a blink of an eye, the remaining seven people were divided into three waves. It was a tacit cooperation between the swords, guns, halberds, rattan cards, and wolves. After a stick of incense, all ten people were disarmed and lost. fighting power.

Seeing this, Jia Lian immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

The ten abused people are still in a daze, Jia Lian has already waved the flag: "Two hundred miles in four hours, let's go!"

Hearing the order, Ping Ziying changed the formation into two teams in an instant, and ran to the depths of the grassland.

Wei Kun hurriedly yelled: "Lord Jia, return as soon as you see Yanzhi Mountain."

Jia Lian naturally knew that he had been climbing the ice and lying in the snow here for ten years.

Jia Lian led his troops to march all the way to the foot of Yanzhi Mountain. Along the way, he saw many prisoners digging trenches under the supervision of the soldiers. There were also snow shovelers and grass diggers, and most of them silently carried snow and earthwork.

Once, Jia Lian also wore shackles and dug trenches here as a prisoner. When Jia Lian was feeling emotional, he saw a man in a silver fox cloak snoring on a sled.

The man was blowing with his mouth wide open, a gesture Jia Lian was too familiar with.Jia Lian quietly left the team and walked towards this person, but it was the sentry soldier who saw Jia Lian and ran forward to salute, "Hi, Captain, who are you looking for?"

Jia Lian pointed to the sleeping man: "Who is he?"

The soldier was frightened half to death, and hurriedly kicked Xue Pan: "Wake up!"

Xue Pan impatiently took out a handful of scattered silver from his cuff: "Take it!"

Jia Lian smiled: "Idiot Xue?"

Xue Pan woke up suddenly when he heard the words. No one has called him Xue idiot for many years.He folded his hands, stared at the god-like general in front of him with eyes blindfolded, carefully observed, and then jumped three feet: "Oh, my god, why is it you, Second Master Lian..."

The soldier hurriedly interrupted him: "You prisoner, don't talk nonsense, this is the captain of the Royal Forest Army!"

Xue Pan hurriedly nodded and bowed: "Yes, yes, thank you, Lord Wu, for reminding me!"

Jia Lian waved his hand: "Forget it, you go and do your business."

As soon as the soldiers left, Xue Pan threw himself on Jia Lian suddenly: "Second Master Lian, why are you here? Could it be that you have been promoted? Come to garrison the northern border? Haha, I'm over the top..."

Jia Lian stretched out his hand to pinch Xue Pan's mouth, and finally managed to shut Xue Pan up, then glanced at Xue Pan's general belly, and said with a smile: "You are still fat and fat, do you want to stay here for the rest of your life? Doubt, where were you hiding last time when the Tartars fled to Dacaogu?"

Xue Pan didn't know what Jia Lian was talking about, but he blinked and smiled, "Well, our side is a garrison, and Tartars generally rob villages with women..."

Jia Lian smiled: "As far as I know, Tartars also rob men who are pink and tender. They like everything that is soft and tender!"

Xue Pan shivered in fright. He likes fair, tender and handsome men, but that doesn't mean he is willing to be beaten.Xue Pan got scared when he thought about it, he clamped his legs tightly and covered his butt in fright: "Don't scare me, I'm timid, those Tartars are tall and big, not ordinary people can bear it!"

Jia Lian beckoned Xue Pan closer: "Do you know any news about your sister and mother?"

Xue Pan squeezed his small eyes: "I know. At the end of last year, I received news that they were persecuted by the tribe and had no choice but to go back to Jinling to join your old lady. How is my mother and sister? The money is almost used up, didn't they ask you to bring me something this time?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "So you don't know, forget it, but for Sister Feng's sake, let me remind you, don't sleep all day, get up and dig the earth, and be active, so as not to grow fat. It's really important to catch up tomorrow." It will be miserable for you to be caught by those Tartars. Oh, and also, your cousin brought you a few jars of spirits, and if you ask for leave to come in the evening, just say that you are my relative, and they will agree to you."

After Jia Lian said that, he strode to catch up with the team.

Xue Pan immediately became happy when he heard the words: "Oh, it's better to be Brother Feng, and you know how to miss my brother in trouble, so bring me something." He went back to lean on the sled, shaking his head, "My mother Dear sister, why did you forget me and didn't bring me some money, I have pity that my father died since I was a child..."

The soldier leaned forward at this time: "I said, Mr. Xue, what's the matter with you? Isn't the captain captain your relative? Our general and captain also take care of you. You don't need to sleep all day long." You work, your life is very nourishing, what else do you worry about?"

Xue Pan couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard the words: "What kind of nourishment is this? The days I lived in the past were called nourishment. It's all because of my shallow eyelids. What kind of broken things are you fighting for?"

As Xue Pan thought of Jia Lian's words, his whole body became agitated, and he actually went to help a thin prisoner lift the dirt, that guy was timid and frightened: "Master Xue, I'm poor! "

Xue Pan was immediately annoyed: "Can I ask for your money? I still think it smells sour!" After saying that, he rushed to dig a hole.

In the evening of that day, Jia Lian was checking the situation of the soldiers in each barracks. Now that he was in the north, the drinking water from the capital had run out, so he could only drink snow water.Jia Amnesty died because of disobedience.

Therefore, Jia Lian reminded the barracks to check carefully so that they can be treated in time.

At such a time, Xue Pan came and saw that Jia Lian was in a hurry and had no time to pay attention to him. He asked a soldier to ask, but he said that some of the soldiers were not acclimatized and had diarrhea, and some had blisters on their bodies.

Xue Pan regained his energy at this time, and hurriedly told the soldiers: "Hey, I am your cousin of Captain Jia, you go and tell him that I know how to cure acclimatization."

At this time, Jia Lian had ordered the team medical officer to make a decoction. He quietly added some spiritual water to temporarily suppress the illness.

To be honest, Jia Lian never looked down upon the medical books that Jia Daishan passed on to Jia Lian.

He was flipping through books here, but unexpectedly Xue Pan said he had a way.Jia Lian didn't believe it at first, but then he remembered that Xue's family was originally Huang Shang, so he might not know how many secret recipes he had in his hand.

Jia Lian said, "Let him in."

Xue Pan came in and yelled: "My dear second master, your door is too difficult to enter!" Jia Lian raised his hand: "I'm very busy. If you have something to say, tell me quickly. What can I do?"

Xue Pan nodded hurriedly: "Oh, oh, yes, my family has collected a secret recipe, which is not actually called a secret recipe, but a small folk recipe to prevent acclimatization."
