Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Jia Rong had always trusted Jia Lian, and went back to the mansion to discuss with the husband and wife, and felt that Jia Lian's proposal was very good, no one in the court could be a bodyguard for a lifetime, and there was no need to go to Xishan, Jia's mansion had enough imperial guards.

The couple decided to follow Jia Lian's advice.

Zhen Yinglian knew that Emperor Qianyuan wanted to keep Jia Rong as a bodyguard. Now that Jia Rong wants to find another way out, someone must mediate to make it happen.

Zhen Yinglian came to the palace to discuss with the queen mother under the pretext of visiting the queen mother.

Emperor Qianyuan was indeed planning to let Jia Rong continue to be the imperial guard, after all, he knew everything, so the emperor could rest assured.

Unexpectedly, after a long time of silence, the emperor suddenly spoke, saying that Jia Rong's child was flexible and loyal, and suggested that Jia Rong should go to the Ministry of War to practice and practice, such as being a doctor's servant or something.

Emperor Qianyuan was very surprised. The emperor had not interfered in the government for many years. He suddenly remembered that Jia Rong had saved the emperor's life.

It's not that Emperor Qianyuan was stingy. During the Taiping period, the Minister of the Ministry of War had to be at least two Jinshi.Although Jia Rong is excellent in martial arts, he didn't even pass the exam as a scholar, and he has no special merits, so it's a bit abrupt to be promoted for no reason.

The emperor is also afraid of the censor's iron teeth!

The words are divided into two parts, but they talk about the sea and the frontier.

In mid-August, Wang Ziteng rushed to Beijing again at eight hundred miles away. Japanese pirates became more and more rampant in Fujian and Zhejiang. They often went ashore to loot villages, and the coastal areas were empty.

At the same time, Wang Ziteng also suggested that a group of pirates be recruited at sea.

This pirate has a powerful fleet, traveling across Fujian and Zhejiang to do business, and the pirates will shy away when they see it.Wang Ziteng once led scouts to the sea to find the whereabouts of King Zhongshun, encountered Japanese pirates, and almost wiped out the whole army, but was finally rescued by the pirates and survived.

Wang Ziteng said that these pirates were actually businessmen from Fujian and Zhejiang provinces in the past. In order to survive against Japanese pirates, they formed an alliance with local gangsters and gradually formed the current model.And this band of pirates only travels at sea and never goes ashore to endanger the people.

At the same time, Wang Ziteng also mentioned a folk hero who fought against the Japanese.

It is said that a group of Japanese pirates fled to Yiwu, Zhejiang Province to plunder, and the local men rose up to resist. As a result, all [-] Japanese pirates who entered the village to rob were wiped out.

Wang Ziteng suggested that the villagers along the coast of Zhejiang were very brave and ruthless, and many of them were forced to become Japanese pirates. He suggested that the imperial court recruit Xiangyong on the spot and use it for the imperial court.The soldiers are paid to support their families, so that they can fight against the Japanese pirates without distraction.

It's a pity that Emperor Qianyuan had a deep prejudice against the villagers in Fujian and Zhejiang because most of the Japanese pirates were people from Fujian and Zhejiang pretending to be people.Therefore, Wang Ziteng's secret book was shelved.

When Emperor Qianyuan received the secret book, Jia Lian also got the same news. For pirates, Jia Lian thought it was difficult to control.However, Jia Lian was very optimistic about Xiangyong's strength. Jia Lian seemed to have seen a new force, thinking that this was a good opportunity for the court to leverage its strength.

As a result, after waiting for a few days, Emperor Qianyuan remained silent, and Jia Lian was anxious about Emperor Qianyuan's eyes.In order for Wang Ziteng to seize the opportunity, he immediately wrote a letter, suggesting that Wang Ziteng give some support to the civilian anti-Japanese team as far as he can, lest they be helpless, see the dawn and have to join forces, or be completely wiped out.

Prince Teng waited a long time for the imperial court's invitation to recruit, but he was nowhere to be found. He finally received Jia Lian's family letter, and he had no choice but to do so while smiling wryly.

However, Wang Ziteng did not dare to blatantly Zhou Ji Xiangyong.Therefore, it is proposed to build fortifications in the Fujian and Zhejiang areas, but the task of building them is handed over to these townsmen, and then they are paid heavily.Then, a batch of damaged weapons were given to this villager, so that they could remake them into the weapons they urgently needed.

Although this method is a drop in the bucket and cannot completely alleviate Xiangyong's plight, it can enable these hard-working people to barely survive, and there is hope in their hearts.It also made the people here understand that the imperial court did not ignore them, but it was difficult to be comprehensive for the time being.

It should be noted that the imperial court is currently increasing taxes on a large scale in order to prepare for the war. It is already very good that the Yongding Army can take care of them a little bit.

Emperor Qianyuan's indecision once again made Jia Lian vigilant. After a few days of silence, Jia Lian made a decision. He secretly recruited Pan You'an to discuss, and decided to let Pan You'an live in the Eastern Province in the name of going to the Eastern Province to buy medicinal herbs. Warehouses store a large amount of grain and grass.

Afterwards, Jia Lian instructed Jia Rong that starting this autumn, no matter what the crops in the eastern province of Ningfu are, as long as they can be imported, they will not be sold any more, and all will be stored for emergencies.

Jia Rong immediately expressed her support, and quickly ordered someone to go to the Eastern Province to go to Wu Jinxiao, asking him to fully cooperate with Pan You'an.

In mid-August, Sister Feng promoted Qingwen to be the maid for the Spring Festival, and arranged for Si Qi to go home to prepare for her marriage.

At the end of August, Jia Lian arranged the marriage for Pan You'an and Si Qi.And to Pan Youan and An Shiqi, the husband and wife were expelled.

In this way, the children born to Si Qi will not be in slavery. Although they cannot study, they can donate officials to be supervisors.The third generation of children can study and become an official.

After hearing the news, Pan You'an and Si Qi went to the Hemerocallis Hall to pay homage to Jia Lian and Feng's promotion.Both husband and wife swore that they would serve Sister Jialian and Fengjie for the rest of their lives.

After Pan Youan got married, Jia Lian arranged for them to live in the front yard, next to Jia Ling and Lin Xiaohong.

Jia Lian arranged for Pan You'an to rest for seven days, and secretly told Pan You'an: "Time is running out, but you can make people with strength!"

Sister Feng was not idle, she was rewarded with food boxes every day, and Si Qipan enjoyed the appetite for a hundred days and the pleasure of fish and water in the middle of the night.In this way, more than a month passed.At the beginning of September, Mr. Wu asked for Ping An's pulse for Si Qi, and he really felt the happy pulse.

Pan You'an was overjoyed and spent half a month with his lovely wife.At the end of September, Pan You'an had to bid farewell to his lovely wife. With a large amount of gold and silver and ten dumb servants, he secretly set off for the Eastern Province to carry out Jia Lian's secret order to build walls and accumulate grain.

Half a month later, Pan You'an sent back a message that several people had been arranged to buy grain in the name of the wine cellar. Most of the grain stored in each honored family was purchased, and they were secretly building a warehouse. Everything is going well. Please rest assured Jia Lian.

Only then did Jia Lian's tense heartstrings relax a little.

This day is October [-]th.Jia Lian was flipping through the imperial palace newspaper in Shuijingfang, when suddenly, Jia Lian became alert.But someone entered the Meng Po Zhai of Rongguo Mansion from the back wall of the ancestral hall of Ning Mansion.

Jia Lian quickly spread his spiritual sense and instantly saw through the identity of the person who came, but it was the eldest prince Shui Cheng.It was Yu Liuyue who provided the wrong information, the eldest prince thought that Jia Lian was still in Mengpozhai's study.

Jia Lian was wrong when he said something wrong, so he hurriedly sneaked to the backyard of Meng Pozhai's study, pretending to be asleep.

Shui Cheng has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and crossed the low courtyard of the study to enter the courtyard without anyone knowing, followed the route given by Yu Liuyue all the way to the door of Jia Lian's study in Mengpozhai.Shui Cheng pretended to be coquettish, and chanted: "I have friends who come from afar, don't you think so?"

"My gentleman, why do you want to be a thief?"

Shui Cheng was stunned immediately, and then laughed: "The captain is eloquent!"

Jia Lian came out slowly, and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, Your Highness is very elegant. Could it be that the moon in my Rongfu is bigger than the moon in Xishan?"

Shui Cheng bowed and saluted: "It's Gu Menglang. The captain knows that princes and courtiers are not allowed to associate with each other in this dynasty. If you have something to do, please ask the captain. This is why you have to make such a bad move. Please forgive me."

Jia Lian stretched out his hand and said, "Your Highness, please sit down and talk."

Shui Cheng Da Ma Jin Dao sits at the head of the desk.

Jia Lian cupped his hands and saluted: "May I ask what your Highness wants to come here?"

Shui Cheng said: "Of course, um, Dao is nothing important, but I am watching the sea battle reports these days, and my heart is worried. I hate the Japanese pirates for disturbing my territory and slaughtering my people. As a prince, I can do nothing. This time Wang Jian made a point of remonstrance Gu Shen thought it was right, but it was a pity that my father didn't think so. I asked several times to go to the sea to experience training, but my father refused. Instead, he said that I was young and didn't know the dangers of the world. Alas, I just want to ask the captain for advice when I go to the government today. Help Gu come up with an idea so that Gu can go to the sea to supervise the battle?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "Your Highness may not be able to fulfill his wish."

Shui Cheng was greatly disappointed: "Gu sees that you are always able to impress father and emperor with words and fulfill your wish. Is there no way to help Gu?" He said with a sullen expression: "Could it be that you also think that Gu has no ability to supervise the battle? A child's heart, a youthful spirit?"

Jia Lian waved his hand: "No! Your Highness has golden branches and jade leaves. Your Highness is the eldest son of His Majesty. How can you let His Highness be placed under a dangerous wall? If you care about what you do, it has nothing to do with Your Highness's ability!"

Shui Cheng's face paled when he heard the words.Looking at Jia Lian, she felt a little embarrassed: "Well, I don't mean to blame you, but I'm a little anxious."

Jia Lian probed calmly, "Your Highness said just now, is Wang Jian's remonstrance acceptable?"

Shui Cheng nodded: "Yes, since the pirates were able to rescue Wang Jiandian from the Japanese pirates, it shows that their heart is for the imperial court and their nature is not bad. And the bravery from Yiwu, Zhejiang Province, I think they are anti-Japanese heroes, they should be promoted and rewarded .”

Jia Lian's eyes lit up when he heard this.

But I heard Shui Cheng continue to say: "I just thought that at this very moment when the enemy is strong and we are weak, the imperial court should gather all forces to fight the Japanese pirates as much as possible. Besides, pirates and Japanese pirates are both active in the sea, so they must understand each other. , This is exactly what we are lacking in. Recruiting pirates can be regarded as complementing our strengths. In this way, on the one hand, we will strengthen our strength, gradually improve our naval warfare forces, and when the time is right, we will wipe out the pirates!"

Jia Lian clapped her hands: "Your Highness is talented!"

Shui Cheng sighed: "The sages say that there is no one to teach, but it's a pity that the emperor doesn't like it! He thinks they are cunning, greedy and cruel, and cannot be taught."
