Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

It turned out that when Prince Ying learned of his son's disappearance, he thought it was Emperor Qianyuan who was causing trouble, and had a big fight with Emperor Qianyuan, and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation that night to cry.

Early the next morning, the Prince of England left a letter and left.

The empress dowager fell ill upon hearing the news, and her beard and hair turned white overnight.

The eldest prince was completely dumbfounded: "Uncle Ying, what is this trouble? Originally, the 100 million silver has not been collected yet, and he ran away again?"

Jia Lian held back his smile and said, "Now is not the time to complain, we should deploy our defenses quickly, and no matter what, let no one fall into the hands of the pirates."

However, the Prince of England seemed to have evaporated out of thin air. More than 1000 people chased and intercepted him, but there was no trace of the Prince of England.

Jia Lian analyzed: "Either Prince Ying has fallen into the hands of Japanese pirates, or he played hide-and-seek with us. Perhaps he just left the city gate, but did not come to the sea, or he did not fall into Fujian and Zhejiang provinces at all." Come, but went to another sea area. After all, I have thousands of miles towards the sea, and as long as I have a boat, I can go anywhere."

The eldest prince nodded: "The weird father always suspects that Uncle Ying has colluded with Prince Zhongshun Wang Zhongyi, and now it seems that it is not groundless. Otherwise, how could Uncle Ying, who has never been out of the capital, be lost as soon as he leaves the capital?" No trace, no one to help him is impossible."

Jia Lian sighed in his heart, how could the empress dowager survive the loss of her son in old age, the Prince of England is such a jerk!

Just when Wang Ziteng and the others were looking for the Prince of England, Fujian suddenly called the police. The Japanese pirates entangled 5000 people and suddenly attacked Fujian Fucheng. Walk.

It is said that the Japanese pirates went ashore and went straight to the guards, killing the guards on guard first, and then beheading more than a thousand soldiers in the guards in their sleep.

Fortunately, it was Wei Kun who transferred 3000 soldiers from the guard to train the three-talented team. Otherwise, this time, the Fujian guard would be wiped out.

The prince was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and took the eldest prince Jia Lian to Fujian overnight. After digging deeply, he found that the Gu family was actually the family of the late Concubine Shu. Up to now, it has taken root and established another ancestral hall.

However, they were connected by blood with the Gu family in Jiangnan, and when they learned that the Gu family in Jiangnan had been uprooted, they already regarded the imperial court as a deadly enemy in their hearts, from secretly colluding with the Japanese pirates to now openly supporting the enemy.

The reason why they suddenly moved to Fujian this time was to rescue Gu Yao's family and kill the officers and soldiers for revenge.The four commanders who attacked the Fujian guard this time were the three sons-in-law of the Gu family, and Gu Liangfeng, the eldest son of the Gu family.

This time, the reason why the Japanese pirates were able to drive straight into the heart of the guard was because when they were purged last time, Gu Yao’s first disciple, named Guan Jue, was omitted. He was actually the adopted son of the Gu family. Mrs. Gu Yun's surname.

Fortunately, Jia Lian escorted Gu Yun's family to the Zhejiang Guard, otherwise, this time it would be a real loss.

Wang Ziteng was furious and reprimanded Wei Kun for being perfunctory.Based on this painful lesson, after discussing with the eldest prince, Wang Ziteng decided to secretly investigate the heels of all the officers and soldiers of the guards and find out one by one, otherwise, these house thieves will kill everyone sooner or later.

This deep digging is simply shocking. There are more than 400 people secretly providing warehouses for the Japanese pirates, collecting money, and more than [-] officers and soldiers who release the Japanese pirates for defense, almost involving the entire guard. There are as many as twelve officials involved in the case of Tongwa, the school lieutenant below the captain.

It's rotten from top to bottom.

Wang Ziteng lamented, no wonder Fujian's anti-Japanese wars were defeated repeatedly.Thieves are also Japanese pirates, officers and soldiers are also Japanese pirates, thieves shouting "stop thief", this is a joke!

The eldest prince's eyes were red with anger, and he took advantage of the imperial envoy's right to behead first and play later, and beheaded all twelve fellow Japanese officials.

The Commander of the Fujian Guards Office is doomed this time. Originally, the Eldest Prince wanted to kill him, but was persuaded by Wang Ziteng and Jia Lian. The Commander is a high-level official in Fengjiang, a first-rank official, and he should be handed over to the court for deliberation. Good punishment.

The eldest prince rushed to the capital again eight hundred miles away, and Emperor Qianyuan was relentless this time, directly arresting the seventh prince and interrogating him.The Seventh Prince couldn't bear it and finally confessed that he was connected with King Zhongshun's secret agents, and Prince Ying was escorted by them to go directly to Ryukyu.

Hearing the explanation of the Seventh Prince, Emperor Qianyuan suddenly aged ten years. He personally asked the Seventh Prince: "We are biological father and son. I have loved you for 16 years. I once wanted to pass on the throne to you. Today you tell me the truth, you Have you contacted the Gu family in Fujian? Have you informed them about the use of troops by the imperial court?"

The Seventh Prince burst into tears immediately: "No, I didn't. I knew about this incident, but I never contacted them. I just have contact with King Zhongshun."

Emperor Qianyuan's face was livid: "What benefits does he promise you, and you are his internal support?"

The Seventh Prince cried: "He promised to assist his son to ascend the throne, and my son bestowed him the title of King of Jiangnan."

Emperor Qianyuan was so angry that he almost fainted: "Okay, very good..." He waved his hand weakly: "Crucify the doors and windows here, and send soldiers to guard them. No one is allowed to move within three feet."

The Seventh Prince suddenly rushed towards Emperor Qianyuan like crazy: "Father, you can't treat me like this. I have never thought of disobeying my father. All my plans are a hundred years after my father. Father, how can you bear it?" , you used to like Erchen so much, when your son was ten years old, you still hugged him to pick fruit, Father, have you forgotten?"

Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand: "Nail it!"

The Seventh Prince was completely desperate at this time, and shouted frantically: "Father, my son was wronged! All this is the queen mother's scheme, my son just wants to be the emperor, and just push the boat along the way. Father, do you hear me? It was the queen mother's idea. The spies that King Zhongshun stayed in the capital were the Xu family. Father, did you hear that the ministers are just puppets, and the ministers are just obeying orders. The queen mother used the ministers just to trick the Prince Ying and his son out of Beijing. After the death of the emperor's grandmother, the queen mother can dominate the harem alone. She said that she would make her son the crown prince, but the son was fascinated for a while because the emperor's grandmother never looked at him directly. "

When Emperor Qianyuan heard the words, his heart felt like a knife was twisted, he staggered and almost fell.

It turned out that the death of the emperor's father and the serious illness of the queen mother were all caused by the Xu family.

Emperor Qianyuan was heartbroken.

However, the Xu family was the mother's family of Empress Duankang, and Emperor Qianyuan was once the adopted son of Empress Yuan. He promised to treat the Xu family well, which is why Emperor Qianyuan let the Xu family go.

Emperor Qianyuan could not punish Xu Jiaming canonically.

In the middle of the night, Emperor Qianyuan approached Qin Yan, the leader of the Punishment Department, and said, "I want Zhang Guozhang Xu to die violently in three days, and when the Xu family helps the spirits to return home, I want all the men in the third room of the Xu family to die, and I want the Xu family to be wiped out." , hear clearly?"

A month later, the queen passed away.

Xu's family Fuling returned to his hometown, and more than 100 members of his family died of bandits.

Emperor Qianyuan took the country's political troubles into consideration, and kept the funeral simple. The empress stayed in Kunning Palace for three days and took her directly to Ganlu Temple to stop.

The whole court was in an uproar.

Because the emperor is still alive, even if the empress can't be buried in the ground for peace, she should stop at Biyun Temple, the royal family temple, or the temporary palace of another courtyard. Why send the coffin to Ganlu Temple? Ganlu Temple is where ordinary concubines die. The place where the coffin was placed later.

However, so far, the Empress Dowager is in trouble, and at the critical moment of turmoil in the sea and the border, none of the officials dared to disobey Emperor Qianyuan's wishes, so they had to keep silent.

The Seventh Prince was imprisoned, and the Prince of England went to Ryukyu Island, and along with the Queen's death, it spread to the sea.

Jia Lian guessed that the Prince of Nan'an and Prince Ying's son were also hidden in Ryukyu Island, otherwise, Prince Ying would not have gone to Ryukyu Island.

At the same time, Jia Lian boldly speculated that King Zhongshun should be hiding on Ryukyu Island, and that he took Prince Ying and his son to Ryukyu Island to use them to challenge Emperor Qianyuan.

Immediately, Jia Lian told the commander Feng Tang of his guess, Feng Tang took it very seriously, and soon reported the situation to the court.

Emperor Qianyuan soon sent an edict, ordering Feng Tang to behead Zhongshun King at all costs, and then escort Prince Ying and his son to Beijing.

It was easy for Emperor Qianyuan to open his mouth, but it was hard to behead King Zhongshun and capture Prince Ying and his son alive.If they were on land, Jia Lian could handle this group of people by himself, but, across the busy sea!

Jia Lian is not good at water.However, as long as he meets King Zhongshun face to face on land, Jia Lian will definitely be able to capture him easily.

Feng Tang didn't dare to disobey Emperor Qianyuan, so he had to accept the task, but he didn't dare to promise when it would be completed.

Immediately, Feng Tangshuai's army entered Fujian, and the Japanese pirates went ashore to get a ticket and ran away. Linhai County was in a mess, houses were burned, food was robbed, and people suffered heavy casualties. The city of 5000 people dropped sharply to less than [-]. Old and weak women and children.

Coupled with Wang Ziteng's cleaning of the families of Tongwa officers and soldiers, the number of personnel dropped sharply again by more than 800 people.Wang Ziteng was reluctant to kill people, but if these traitors were not eliminated, less than one civilian would follow them angrily, and he could not afford to follow the 2000 soldiers and more than [-] civilians who died.

For these traitors who communicated with the Japanese, Wang Ziteng publicly interrogated and beheaded them publicly.One is to deter those hidden traitors, and the other is to appease the people who have lost their loved ones.

Afterwards, Jia Lian proposed to form an alliance with the natives of Du Ruoxin's mother to establish a fisherman's village in Yunwu Mountain, and move the surviving people of Linhai City to Yunwu Mountain to live with the natives.The army came forward to reward the mountain people with a certain amount of food and cloth, and asked them to teach these fishermen who fish all the year round to learn how to farm. At least here they can dig food in the soil without starving to death, and they can also escape Japanese pirates.

Later, Jia Lian persuaded the eldest prince Teng Fengtang and Wei Kun to incorporate the civilian armed forces on the ground in Fujian and Zhejiang into the imperial court's anti-Japanese team, and sent their families to migrate to Yunwu Mountain in an endless stream.

Jia Lian's suggestion greatly appeased the hearts of the people.Many young and middle-aged people joined the anti-Japanese team.

Wang Ziteng once again returned to the role of checkpoint in the nine provinces, and began to mobilize food and grass in nearby cities to supplement the growing anti-Japanese army.

After discussing with Wei Kun, Feng Tang decided?

The Royal Forest Army increased from 500 to 800 in one fell swoop, roughly equivalent to two troops.

Jia Lian quickly planned the team, divided the 500 people in the Pingzi battalion into three, and then divided the recruits into three battalions equally to rebuild the Shuizi battalion and Kuizi battalion.

This time, Jia Lian appointed Shui Wen, Wu Yong, Shi Lei as the school lieutenant, Tang Hui as Du Yuhou, Luo Shicheng as the recorder, Jia Xuan, the oldest member of the Jia clan, as the seal officer.It's not that Jia Lian is narrow-minded. At critical times, the seal must be in his own hands.

Originally a veteran member of the Cloud Echelon Team, Jia Guanlin, Jia Yi, and Jia Jun, who had spoken out with Changping, all acted as Langguan and the chief. Jia Lian's cronies almost touched the corps chief. Know in time.

In order to prevent Japanese pirates from infiltrating, Jia Lian also implemented the security system in the army, that is, the three members of each team must act in unison, and they are not allowed to lose their orders if they eat, drink, or scatter.And each of the five chapters was brought out by Jia Lian from Xishan, which ensured the purity of the team to the greatest extent.

In addition, Jia Lian also formulated a waist card. Once a soldier wants to leave the main force, he must leave the waist card as evidence. After leaving the team for a quarter of an hour and not returning to the team, Yuhou must go out to look for it. Once they come back, they must be quarantined and investigated until the suspects are ruled out.Otherwise, you cannot re-enter the Royal Forest Army.

Because Zhejiang is relatively safe, Jia Lian was ordered to lead the Yulin Army to garrison Haijiang City, and formed a corner with Ying Ding's army to jointly defend the safety of Zhejiang.

Wei Kun was stationed in Fujian.

The eldest prince followed Feng Tang's troops, dragging cannons around to rescue them.Wherever Japanese pirates landed, Feng Tang's troops went there to reinforce them, and bombarded Japanese pirate warships with cannons. For a while, the Japanese pirates were terrified.

After consideration, Jia Lian conducted cross-training for the Imperial Forest Army.The so-called cross-training is that every morning, the soldiers of the Pingzi Battalion teach formation and boxing to the two recruits recruited from Fujian and Zhejiang, and the recruits teach the Pingzi Battalion to row boats and water.

At night, Jia Lian will also organize all the team members to conduct rapid marches to train their physical fitness.In this murderous moment when the Japanese pirates do not know when they will emerge, the first element of survival is to be healthy.

Although Jia Lian's training was harsh, everyone gritted their teeth and trained with exhaustion, and no one flinched.

After a month like this, the Royal Forest Army basically has the ability to fight in joint operations.The rest is a skilled running-in process.

When Jia Lian was training his troops day and night, perhaps knowing that Feng Tang's troops had gone to Fujian, suddenly more than 800 Japanese pirates landed in Zhejiang.

This time, because the guards had already been wiped out, the warship of the Japanese pirates was discovered by our department as soon as it landed.

Jia Lian was not good at the water station, so he ordered people to send messages to the Yongding Army again and again, and ordered the troops again and again to wait for the Japanese pirates to go ashore and stay away from the sea to start fighting.

To be honest, Jia Lian was a little excited when he met the pirates face to face for the first time.

The Japanese pirates probably thought that Jia Lian was a novice, and came straight to Haijiang City after landing.

Jia Lian’s pockets had already been stretched out, and two recruit battalions lay in ambush outside the city to set up a pocket formation. First, a shell exploded in the crowd of the enemy, killing them and piercing them. Then, the □□ battalion took aim at the top of the city and fired. Basically, one shot knocked down one, and about [-] Japanese pirates went ashore. Under the repeated attacks of cannons and shotguns, one-third of them were killed or injured.

The Japanese pirates probably didn't expect that there were cannons in Haijiang City, so they panicked and began to retreat, preparing to escape.

The new barracks outside the city quickly formed two large three-talented formations to block them, and the raindrops of the rangers blocked the Japanese pirates from escaping.

Jia Lian ordered the city gate to be opened, and Shotgun Ying went out of the city to pursue and kill them. The Japanese had no choice but to turn around and shoot at Shotgun Ying.Jia Lian District personally controlled the cannon at the head of the city, and the cannonball bloomed among the Japanese pirates as if it had eyes.After a burst of shelling, the Japanese pirates suffered countless casualties again.

In the end, the Japanese pirates had no choice but to choose the formations of Shuiziying and Kuiziying, which seemed to be relatively weak, to break through.

They suddenly realized that their single-handedly attacking the formation would not work in the formation because of their obstinacy.

This time it was the sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

At such a moment, reinforcements from the Yongding Army arrived.

Jia Lian saw the little leopard at a glance and was busy contacting him, but the Yongding army was also afraid that the Japanese pirates would have another move, so they didn't dare to run away with more men, so they sent a reinforcement battalion to reinforce them, because they knew that the little leopard was familiar with Jia Lian, so they sent him leader.

Jia Lian was overjoyed. He was worried that once the Japanese pirates escaped to the boat, he would stare blankly.

Jia Lian immediately told Little Leopard: "Leave the shotgun team to help shoot, and the rest will go to the beach to seize the boat.

The little leopard was overjoyed, he had long been envious of the firmness and water draft of the pirate ship.

Divide up and leave immediately.

However, Jia Lian led a Lang team to stand on the watchtower. He also held two guns and acted as a sentry. When he saw a soldier in danger, he fired for reinforcements.Kill any Japanese pirate you see is brave.

For a while, the sentry guard led by Jia Lian became an appointed harvester.No, it should be said that the entire Royal Forest Army has become a Japanese pirate harvester.

In the end, after two hours of hard work, the imperial forest army almost wiped out the invading Japanese pirates. In the end, 60 people were overwhelmed by the imperial forest army and had to surrender on their knees.

The angry recruits from Fujian and Zhejiang wanted to kill and surrender, but Jia Lian stopped him: "There has been a saying in ancient times that killing and surrender is ominous, and I want to ask them about the whereabouts of the king of Nan'an."

Someone among the Fujian and Zhejiang soldiers shouted in an atmosphere: "I know them, they are not Japanese pirates at all, they are people who work in the Gu family's medicinal herb business, they are pirates, vicious pirates."

Jia Lian stretched out his hand to appease the soldiers: "Okay, I will interrogate them clearly. If they have a blood debt and whom they owe, I will hand it over to whom to deal with. However, there must be real evidence, and at least three people must prove the matter before they can be punished." As a count, if I find out who has made a false accusation, I will be charged with the crime!"

Jia Lian personally examined these people, and most of them said that they were just men on the merchant ship, because the merchant ship was captured by Japanese pirates later, and they had to join the pirates or even Japanese pirates, otherwise they would not survive.

This time, Jia Lian got accurate information from the Japanese pirates. The king of Nan'an and the son of Prince Ying were indeed detained in Ryukyu, and the person in charge of guarding them was King Zhongshun.It is said that King Zhongshun tried to persuade King Nanjun to turn against the water and become a Japanese pirate, but King Nan'an sternly refused, but King Zhongshun did not embarrass them.

However, all the Japanese pirates said that they did not know about the Prince of England, but some Japanese pirates said that the Ryukyu Palace recently had an additional teacher.In other words, there is an extra counselor in the palace.

Jia Lian guessed that the teacher should be Prince Ying.

In the end, Jia Lian asked the Japanese pirates who surrendered to confront the soldiers of Fujian and Zhejiang. If these people were really in debt, Jia Lian publicly stated that he would not accept someone's surrender.Let the two parties who have enmity settle their own affairs.

For those who were really just arrested, they were sent to Yunwu Mountain, and they were strictly supervised. Once someone tried to escape from Yunwu Mountain, they would be killed immediately on the spot.

Among them, there are more than [-] real Japanese pirates. Wang Ziteng ordered people to cut off their right hands, tattoo their faces, wear shackles on their feet, and send them to Yunwu Mountain to farm for the people to atone for their sins.

Jia Lian achieved an absolute victory in his first battle against the Japanese. Why do you say that?

Because, in this battle, the Imperial Forest Army wiped out 88 Japanese pirates and captured [-] of them alive.

Little Leopard captured 20 Japanese pirates guarding the ship and captured ten warships, including one large ship and nine small ships, all of which were flexible and sturdy pirate ships.Each ship can accommodate more than a hundred people, and there is a fort on the bow.

The Er Yulin Army did not sacrifice a single person, and only 13 people were slightly injured.

Feng Tang was overjoyed when he heard the news. This was Feng Tang's biggest victory since he came to the sea. According to the credit book of the Yulin Army's final ascension to the throne, he immediately made a memorial for Jia Lian.Then all the soldiers of the imperial forest army, according to the number of Japanese pirates killed by the soldiers, will be rewarded with one mu of land or ten taels of silver for each Japanese pirate killed.If a leader of the Japanese pirates is killed, he can be rewarded with 300 mu of land and the first house.If you don't want rewards, you can be promoted to the ninth-rank military position.If during the First World War, [-] Japanese pirates were killed independently, they would be credited with beheading the enemy chieftains, and [-] Japanese pirates would be killed.Killed [-] Japanese pirates in the First World War, recorded a great achievement, and awarded the title of Captain Qingche.

This battle produced eight captains of cloud cavalry and two captains of Qingche.

Furthermore, Little Leopard captured ten warships, made a great contribution once, and bestowed a title on Captain Qingche.

It's a pity that Emperor Qianyuan was stingy and only rewarded Jia Lian for his great achievements.Apart from feeling sorry for his brothers, Jia Lian was also happy for himself. Brother Hao now has the title, and the three brothers don't have to fight anymore.

Looking back, he said that Lu Ping of the Yongding Army was very happy to hear that Jia Lian had won a complete victory. He came to ask Jia Lian for the warships, thinking that they belonged to him.

Jia Lian was funny: "I killed the enemy with 800 people and consumed thousands of shells and ammunition before capturing the warship. Why did you come here to pick peaches?"
