Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Sister Feng stared at Jia Lian and kowtowed, then she stared at him and whispered to Zhang's uncle, but she didn't let go of her heart for a moment. She looked at Zhen Yinglian and sighed: "Oh, it's just been released, I don't know how many more days I can stay at home. , do you know why the children of those families go on blind dates these days and rush to get married?" Zhen Yinglian really didn't know: "Why, I also find it strange that a few children go to Jia Lian to send wedding invitations these days, and I still don't know why. It's strange, how do you get together and get married?"

Sister Feng nodded: "Your second uncle requires all children in the family who are over 15 years old to get married quickly."

"Why does Second Uncle want them to rush to get married?"

Sister Feng stuck to Zhen Yinglian and said two words: "Save the seeds!"

Zhen Yinglian's face turned pale immediately: "Save the seeds, so they are going to..."

Sister Feng waved her hand: "I haven't made a final decision yet. Your second uncle wants to go, and those children also want to go. There are also twelve children who were thrown out by your second uncle because they didn't do their best in training. They were not convinced and made trouble. I was slapped on the board by your second uncle, but none of them were scared, but made up their minds to go to Haijiang to join the war, hey, I am really worried for them, do you think that Haijiang is full of meritorious deeds waiting for them to pick them up?"

Zhen Yinglian suddenly felt empty, Jia Rong kept jumping up and down, wanting to get involved in naval battles, although Jia Rong was only seeking to join the military supply force, but swords don't have eyes on the battlefield, Zhen Yinglian's heart felt uncomfortable , but dare not say it, the second uncle is also fighting for the front line!

At the royal banquet, due to the large number of people, the vegetable oil that came up was solidified. Fengjie Yinglian was just pretending, and the food did not stick to her teeth. The two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law drank a few glasses of wine, and when they returned home, they were a little bit tired. Slightly drunk.

Sister Feng took Yinglian's hand to say goodbye on Rongning Street, Sister Feng said: "I heard that Rong'er is also going to the grain and grass officer. Although it is not as dangerous as the front-line soldiers, isn't the drama always singing the way of breaking the grain and burning the grain and grass? It’s better to tell him to be careful. Alright, let’s not talk about it, I have to go back and prepare wine and food for your second uncle, and there is no way to eat the food in the palace.”

Sister Feng went back and ordered Ping'er Feng'er to quickly prepare meals and fragrant soup, and the masters and servants themselves washed up, dressed up nicely, and prepared to serve Jia Lian, the Jingjun who Jia Jing went to the battlefield.

It's a pity that the food turned hot and cold, and Jia Lian didn't come home in the end.

It was Jia Lian who was dragged by King Xijun to help with military affairs.

Although Jia Lian had already been expelled from the Southern Expedition team, it still required a lot of manpower to mobilize food and grass on the ground in Kyoto, register and distribute various weapons and equipment in the warehouse of the Ministry of War.

Jin Shangshu personally watched the manufacturing office, rushing to make weapons such as crossbows and wolf bows day and night, and had no time for others.

As a result, Jia Lian was sacked.

He opened the warehouse, and all the weapons were built according to his original design, but these credits did not belong to Jia Lian, but to the Ministry of War.

Prince Xi looked at Jia Lian and felt ashamed: "I know these are all your hard work, but you didn't get the reward you deserved, it's very unfair, but..."

Jia Lian interrupted Prince Xi's words: "My lord misunderstood. In fact, these things are all in the minutes of some military books passed down to me by my grandfather. My grandfather said that these are the tactics of the Jiang family. However, with the death of the Jiang family, The family fell and was lost. My grandfather has been trying to restore those lost parts when he was alive. Later, after I took over, I perfected the single formation part through my own understanding of the various military books. However, the essence of the Jiang family's formation method I Never penetrated."

Prince Xi was taken aback when he heard the words. Emperor Qianyuan thought that Jia Lian had perfected the formation, but it turned out to be only a half-finished product?

Prince Xi asked: "But, the combination of your three talent array and the long snake array is indeed very powerful?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "Although my formation can cooperate with each other, it is not very ideal. The Jiang family has been in the army for generations, full of elites, and it is not comparable to ordinary people. I want to improve the remaining formation of the Jiang family by myself. .Perhaps, only by finding the Jiang family's ancestral military book can we get a glimpse of the subtlety of the formation."

Prince Xi was afraid that Jia Lian would stop there, so he was busy comforting him: "You have done a good job, as long as you persevere, I believe there will be greater breakthroughs in the future."

Jia Lian smiled gratefully at Prince Xi: "Thank you for your kind words."

Prince Xi: "You're welcome, but the ugly words are in the head. Before the army starts, I hope you can keep an eye on the arsenal of the Ministry of War. You are the most proficient at what weapons each army needs. So, this The king can only be entrusted to you, you can't leave your post without permission!"

Jia Lian nodded: "It's not a problem, but I don't know when the army will move out?"

Prince Xi said: "We will set off after the New Year's Eve. During this period of time, many places along the coast are frozen, which is not conducive to the escape of Japanese pirates. Therefore, this period of time is convenient for us to deploy troops and arrange troops."

Jia Lian had no idea whether the anti-Japanese war would be successful. Suddenly, he thought of King Zhongshun, and asked, "King Zhongshun really joined the Japanese pirate organization and used his knowledge of the coastal provinces to advise the Japanese pirates?"

Xiqin nodded: "That's what Wang Ziteng's Miza said. It is said that Shi Keming of the Shi family has also become a Japanese pirate. The pursuit was fruitless, it was precisely because Huang Zhongxiang was following King Zhongshun that he strayed into the encirclement of Japanese pirates."

Jia Lian finally knew that King Zhongshun sent Shi Keming to Ryukyu.It seems that he has been in contact with the Japanese pirates for a long time. This King Zhongshun has hidden something really deep, at least farther than King Zhongyi thought.

Jia Lian couldn't help worrying: "King Zhongshun should understand the combat habits of the king of Nan'an County. In this way, he knows the combat thinking of our generals, but we don't know anything about them. Wouldn't it be a disadvantage?"

Prince Xi said: "Over the past year, the entire garrison has been rehearsing the battle formation you repaired. The combat style of the Purple Banner Army has changed. King Zhongshun should not be able to figure out our thinking."

Jia Lian continued: "Last time I heard from General Feng what the commander of the Zhejiang Guards did, and my subordinates have always been worried. King Zhongshun once fought with the emperor in the past, and many officers and soldiers in the guards in the coastal provinces have good personal relationships with him. King Zhongshun’s ability to send Shi Keming people to Ryukyu unknowingly is evidence. Therefore, I’m afraid that our side will act just now, and they already know all our plans. Therefore, I think that before fighting against the Japanese pirates, we must first eliminate all of them. Those internal traitors like the commander of the Zhejiang Guards Office must be eradicated, otherwise our military operations will be like a sieve, and there will be no secrets at all." Prince Xi nodded when he heard this: "Your idea is right, you I'm busy, I have to report your suggestion."

Jia Lian first checked all the objects according to the account books, and found that there was a big gap in the number of armors.The war preparations must not be sloppy at all. Jia Lian personally asked the minister, but said that they were rushing to make them.

Jia Lian asked: "In half a month, can you make two thousand armors?"

Jin Shangshu shook his head: "No. We can only guarantee to make it as fast as possible. Don't worry, I will never renege on my debt."

Jia Lian immediately became angry: "You are taking the lives of soldiers as a joke."

Jin Shangshu was also annoyed: "Now is the intense preparation period, I am very busy, so don't make trouble for me, even if you sue His Majesty, I will say a word, try to hurry up."

Jia Lian knew early on that there would be no result, but since he was asked to be in charge of the distribution of military supplies and the soldiers lacked weapons and equipment, he had to report to them, which was his responsibility.As for whether the Ministry of War can solve it, Jia Lian can't control it.

Jia Lian rejoiced inwardly, fortunately he tried his best to embezzle the soldiers' salaries, and also made armors for the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, otherwise, they would not be the direct descendants of the Purple Banner Army now, and the lack of weapons and equipment must also be owed to them.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Jia Lian officially took up his post and was in charge of distributing weapons to the Southern Expedition Army. Although Jia Lian was not required to do it himself, Jia Lian had to watch on the spot so that if any problems were found, he could deal with them in time.

When the Purple Banner Army distributed the armor, all of them were allocated to the original Purple Banner Army soldiers. All the Kuizi Battalion of the Shuizi Battalion fell, and only 200 people of the Shotgun Battalion got the armor.

Shui Wen felt that she had been humiliated, so she immediately made a fuss, and the matter quickly came to Prince Xi's face.Prince Xi found the King of Nan'an County. Of course, the King of Nanjun wanted to protect his direct line troops, but he even played a rogue and said: "Shuiziying and Kuiziying don't have armor? Is their life more precious than anyone else? They need two sets of armor to protect them." ?”

King Xijun was immediately annoyed: "Don't the soldiers of the Purple Banner Army have any armor? Do you know that the armors of Shuiziying and Kuiziying were made by themselves to save their soldiers' pay? The armor is not enough. As the coach, you should adjust it. If you go forward like this The treatment of mother and stepmother, do you still want people to work hard for you?"

The king of Nan'an County actually said: "To be honest, I don't know why the prince and His Majesty value the Imperial Forest Army so much. The Imperial Forest Army and the Purple Banner Army are the same. They have never fought a naval battle. Why should they be superior?"

Prince Xi laughed angrily: "Are they superior now? They are inferior!"

Although the King of Nan'an was not convinced that Prince Xi would intervene in his military affairs, he finally bowed his head under the pressure of Prince Xi and asked the Purple Banner Army to remove five hundred sets of armor.All that's left is to wait.However, the Ministry of War promised that at the beginning of February, the remaining armor would be sent to the sea area.

But it was the eighth day of the first lunar month, and Jia Lian was patrolling everywhere when he heard a commotion outside, followed by fierce shouting and cursing.

Jia Lian listened carefully, but Jia Rong was surrounded and beaten.Although Jia Rong was very skilled, there were too many soldiers besieged and beaten. Jia Rong rushed from left to right, but was no match for his fists.

Jia Lian rushed over in a hurry, snatched Jia Rong out, and then yelled at the assailant soldiers: "How dare you attack the military department and beat the commander, do you know the consequences of doing so?"

Some soldiers recognized Jia Lian, knew that he was the captain of the Imperial Forest Army and had a good relationship with Prince Xi, so they immediately gathered around to complain to Jia Lian.

It turned out that a soldier named Fang Ying of the Purple Banner Army took the new cotton coat and trousers issued by the Ministry of War, and happily gave it to his father after returning home to show his filial piety.As a result, his father went out to visit relatives wearing new cotton clothes, and was frozen on the road when he returned home. If someone hadn't been found and sent home, his father might have died.

At first, Fang Ying thought that his father was sick, but later the doctor revealed the real operation. The patient was not sick, but he was frozen.

Fang Ying pointed at Jia Rong and scolded: "This bastard actually mixed willow catkins into the cotton wool. The cotton clothes are not bad, but they don't keep warm."

Jia Lian's eyes turned cold when he heard the words: "Did you bring the cotton coat?"

Fang Ying handed over the cotton-padded coat, and Jia Lian saw that it was the cotton-padded coat issued by the Ministry of War a few days ago. Jia Lian checked the insides that had been torn, and sure enough, the catkins were wrapped in cotton.Jia Lian asked, "Which one of you still has this kind of cotton-padded clothes, bring a set that hasn't been torn open."

Soon some soldiers took out their cotton-padded clothes and trousers: "This is our new military uniform. We will change into it when we are ready to leave."

Jia Lian took it over and tore open the inside with a swipe. Sure enough, the catkins were wrapped in cotton again. It looked thick, but it was not warm at all.

Jia Lian looked at the soldiers and said, "Do you know, me, and this grain and fodder officer, we all officially took office on New Year's Day. Do you know what I mean when I say this?"

A group of soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay: "What do you mean?"

Jia Lian sneered: "You received the cotton-padded clothes on the second day of the first lunar month. We didn't take office until the first day of the first lunar month. These cotton-padded clothes have long been piled up in the warehouse. What do you think these cotton-padded clothes have to do with this grain officer?"

Fang Ying was furious because her father almost died, and then lost her mind. After hearing Jia Lian's explanation at this time, she immediately understood.They wronged Jia Rong.However, he was very unconvinced: "But, we did get a fake cotton coat from him, who knows if he is playing tricks?"

Jia Lian sneered: "What an idiot. After we got off the annual banquet in the palace, Prince Xi directly dragged us to the Ministry of War. We have been living in the Ministry of War since New Year's Eve. Where are we going to make padded jackets?"

Fang Ying had to admit his mistake at this time: "We shouldn't hit people, but someone has to be responsible, right?"

Jia Lian said: "That's right, I can take you to seek justice, but I want you to apologize to this lord first, do you agree?"

Fang Ying asked: "My lord keeps his word, will he give us an explanation?"

Jia Lian nodded: "As long as you are brave enough!"

Fang Ying waved his hand, and a group of people behind him knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Rong to apologize: "My lord, please forgive us reckless people. We have wronged you today. We have nothing to lose, so we have to kowtow to make amends. In the future, you have something to do. Tell me to wait, we are absolutely unambiguous. Or, if you want to fight back, sir, we will never fight back."

Jia Lian looked at Jia Rong: "Do you accept it or not? Has your anger subsided?"

Jia Rong was very annoyed. He had never been beaten since he was a child, so he kicked Fang Ying angrily: "You should be smarter in the future. If you meet me today and someone else tomorrow, you won't let it go like this." you!"

Jia Lian then asked Fang Ying: "Now there are two ways. The first one is to beat the Dengwen drum. The second one is that I will take you to the Golden Luan Hall and sue His Majesty in person. Do you dare to come with me to the Golden Luan Hall?" Break in?"

Fang Ying's stunned youths didn't flinch when they heard the words, they all shouted: "Dare!"

Jia Lian and Jia Rong each took their waist cards and entered the palace to see His Majesty.

Emperor Qianyuan is currently discussing matters with Prince Xi and Prince Xi of Nan'an County. After all, the day of departure is getting closer and closer.

Hearing that Jia Lian and Jia Rong were begging to see him suddenly, he was taken aback, and raised his head to ask Prince Xi, "Isn't this Jia Lian trapped in the Ministry of War by you? Why are you here to make trouble with me again?"

Prince Xi was also very strange: "I have already told him to keep an eye on him and not to leave him. He also agreed. Based on what I know about him, he is not a person who does not keep his word. Since he is asking to see the emperor, I am afraid it will be another one." Think of something important to report to you."

Prince Xi told the little eunuch, "Call the guard who sent the message in!"

When the guards came in, Prince Xi asked, "What's the situation with Master Jia?"

The guard of Qianqingmen replied: "Master Jia Duwei of the Yulin Army is nothing special, but Jia Langzhong of the Ministry of War is black and blue, as if he was beaten." Emperor Qianyuan was very surprised: "Didn't Jia Rong ask for orders to do it?" Grain officer, how could you be beaten?"

The guard shook his head: "The two Masters Jia didn't say anything, the lower officials don't know!"

Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand: "Tell them to come in!"

The guard said again: "The two adults also brought more than a dozen soldiers of the Purple Banner Army, all of them had wounds on their faces, but they were not as powerful as Lord Jia."

Prince Xi glanced at Nan'an County King: "It seems that your soldiers beat Jia Rong, and his uncle brought his nephew to complain. Isn't the matter of armor in the past? Why are you still pestering him? This matter has nothing to do with Jia Lian Well, if you want to beat you, you should also beat me, right?"

The king of Nanjun hurriedly waved his hands: "My lord speaks seriously. You know my temper. If I had to fight for my blood, I would never be such a bitch. I will go and see what these bastards want to do."

Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand: "Forget it, let's call people in!"

Jia Lian and Jia Rong were about to salute after entering the door, but Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand to stop him: "Don't be too busy saluting, you are very busy, let's get down to business."

Jia Lian pointed at Fang Ying: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it's not that I have something to do, but that these soldiers of the Purple Banner Army have something to report to the Holy Majesty."

Emperor Qianyuan looked at several soldiers: "Who is Fang Ying?"

Fang Ying knelt down as soon as she entered the door. At this time, she heard His Majesty's roll call and hurriedly kowtowed: "Little Fang Ying kowtows to His Majesty, long live my emperor!" Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand: "Let's talk about it!"

Fang Ying then told about the cotton-padded clothes and willow catkins.

Emperor Qianyuan was shocked: "There is such a thing, what about the cotton clothes?"

When Prince Xi was in charge of the military department, something like this happened, his face turned livid with anger.He looked through the torn padded clothes with his own hands, and then tore a new one with his own hands. It was sure enough that the catkins were wrapped in cotton, and he sewed them with cotton thread because he was afraid that the catkins would fall apart.

Emperor Qianyuan was furious: "Quickly recruit the Minister of the Ministry of War to see you."

Jin Shangshu happened not to be in the Ministry of War that day, he was watching the armor making in the manufacturing office.Because Emperor Qianyuan screamed anxiously, his face was still stained.

Hearing that there was something wrong with the cotton-padded clothes and trousers, Jin Shangshu suddenly collapsed in fright. He looked at Prince Xi, hesitant to speak.

When Prince Xi was stared at by Jin Shangshu, his mind suddenly flickered, his eyes turned cold, and he looked at Jin Shangshu inquiringly, Jin Shangshu nodded slightly.

Prince Xi suddenly swayed, his face pale.

But it turned out that these cotton-padded clothes and trousers were contracted to Chen Rongquan, the eldest son of the son-in-law's mansion.

Emperor Qianyuan looked at the white hair on the sideburns of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, shook his head, and ordered: "The Shangshu of the Ministry of War has a vegetarian meal in his corpse. Forgiveness or forgiveness. Prince Xi, this time you will do it yourself, you can borrow, rob, or steal [-] cotton-padded clothes. I must see [-] cotton-padded clothes on the eve of the Yuan Dynasty."

Prince Xi was very loyal, and knelt down to plead with Jin Shangshu: "Report to Your Majesty, my brother is in charge of the Ministry of War..."

Emperor Qianyuan didn't want to hear it, and even Jia Lian and Jia Rong didn't like it, so he waved his hands and said, "Go away!"

It was the first time in his life that Prince Xi was treated like this by Emperor Qianyuan, and he walked out of the palace like flying.

Jia Lian chased after Prince Xi step by step.

Prince Xi stared: "Why are you following me? I'm about to be unlucky, stay away from me."

Jia Lian laughed, "Is it the emperor or the empress dowager who spoke about the Chen family? Why didn't you explain it to His Majesty?"

Prince Xi was very annoyed: "I can't hide anything from you, I admit that you are smart, it's fine, don't follow me, I'm bothering you."

But Jia Lian said: "The lord drove me away, it seems that he doesn't want to collect the cotton clothes, so I will leave!"

Prince Xi hurriedly said: "Stop, get out of here!"

Jia Lian didn't take a few steps at all, and stepped back.

Prince Xi knew that Jia Lian would not be aimless, so he smiled and said, "Tell me, what can I do!"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Whether it's the Purple Banner Army or the Imperial Forest Army, they are all from military households. Who doesn't have brothers and sisters? But this time, if the prince wants the soldiers to be peaceful, a set of cotton clothes is not enough."

Prince Xi smiled immediately: "The things that can be solved by silver are not things. The big deal is that this king will double the money."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "It's good if the prince has such a word. The prince only needs to distribute five taels of silver to each family, and ask them to go home and ask their sisters to re-float the cotton. In this way, the cotton coats will be available, and the soldiers will benefit, and their mouths will be sealed." Yes. However, this is a large sum of money, the prince should think about where to get it."

Prince Xi sneered: "Chen Rongquan, the dog-day, caused me so much trouble, of course the money has to be squeezed out of him."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Let me go!"

Prince Xi waved his hand: "Go, I know what's in my heart."
