The Second Master of the Iron-blooded Lian of the Red Chamber

Because of the urgent report about Siam's [-]-mile battle, Emperor Jinghe became more and more furious, and ordered people to bring Situ Fang to the front, and slapped Situ Fang on the face with a wave of his hand.He said angrily: "If you hadn't been fighting each other, the land of the southern barbarians, the small country of Cuoer, how dare you violate the majesty of my heaven | dynasty?!"

Situ Yan's face was swollen instantly, but his jaw was clenched and he dared not make a sound. Jing Hedi was also so angry that his hands trembled.

Knowing that the general situation was over, Situ Yan was regretful and afraid, and he didn't dare to cry out the pain. He just trembled and begged for mercy: "Father, please calm down, Father, don't be angry."

Emperor Jinghe's leg is inconvenient, but his mind is still clear. He didn't care about continuing to interrogate these sons who plotted against the law. He ordered Situ Yan, his family and his in-laws to be strictly guarded, and ordered people to control everyone in Situ Shuo's palace. Get away with one and try again later.Jiang Dahu took the order to do it.

After finishing the order, he ordered people to summon the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Households and others to discuss the matter of sending troops to South Vietnam.Siam is one of the tributary countries of the imperial court. Now that Siam is being invaded by South Vietnam, the imperial court should send troops to fight against the invaders.

Although Jia Lian has the title of earl, but because of his young age, he has no real vacancies, so he does not participate in political discussions when he has no purpose.

Emperor Jinghe had heard from the emperor's grandson a long time ago that the reason why the local government responded in a timely manner and did not cause any major disturbances was that Jia Lian reminded him properly, so he also asked Jia Lian to stay.Jia Lian should sit down again.

Because communication was slow in ancient times, everyone knew that the battle report from Southern Xinjiang was several months ago. It is only based on experience to speculate on the situation in the southern border. The most urgent thing is to send troops there immediately to stabilize the situation.

The person Emperor Jinghe trusted the most was Jia Daishan.It's just that Jia Daishan has been dead for many years, and the war in southern Xinjiang naturally requires another person to take command.I am also old, and to keep a country in peace for a long time, after all, it is necessary for young people to stand up, so Emperor Jinghe intended to appoint Jia Lian as the general of Pingnan.Because Jia Lian was young and feared that it would be difficult to convince the public, Emperor Jinghe murmured and did not express his thoughts, but ordered the ministers of various ministries to give advice.

After some consideration, the Minister of the Household Department said: "Although Uncle Dingyuan is young, he has made countless contributions to the country after being a general. Moreover, Uncle Dingyuan is unparalleled in wisdom and planning, and it is difficult for all civil and military officials to surpass him. The minister thinks that Uncle Yuan should be inferred. As the Great General of Pingnan, he will pacify South Vietnam and uphold the prestige of our country."

The Minister of Military Affairs glanced at the Minister of Hubu without any trace.During the grain exchange case, many officials of the household department were exposed as evidence of corruption. Emperor Jinghe was furious, not only ordered a thorough investigation of many problematic officials of the household department, but also the minister of the household department was implicated and dismissed on the spot.Later, Jia Lian remonstrated with Emperor Jinghe that he first inspected the granaries and spring plowing events in various places, and officials at all levels of the Ministry of Household Affairs made decisions later.

Emperor Jinghe adopted Jia Lian's suggestion, and indeed resolved a nationwide conspiracy to secretly exchange grain. It was also that time that Jia Lian made great contributions in the south of the Yangtze River, saving the whole country from famine.Later, the officials of the household department who had been involved in corruption were naturally dismissed one after another, but the minister of the household department was originally clean, and he was dismissed because of others. After making meritorious service, he kept the position of minister.It is also for this reason that the Minister of the Ministry of Households will appoint Jia Lian as the general of Pingnan.

But no matter how talented Jia Lian is, he is still a young man who is not a weak crown, and he has no official position, let alone a member of the Ministry of War.If it is a dignified military department, calling a young man to take the position of General Pingnan during the war, is it saying that there is no one in the military department, and that the minister of the military department is too incompetent.

Therefore, the Minister of the Ministry of War stroked his beard and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Uncle Dingyuan is certainly proficient in the art of war and has made countless achievements, but he is a little younger and he may not be able to convince the crowd. I think that the position of General Pingnan is still held by the nine provinces." It is more appropriate to control Mr. Jia."

Although the Minister of the Ministry of War's remarks are somewhat selfish, they are also reasonable.Besides, although Jia Lian has done great things in these years, Jia Jing has also made countless contributions.In terms of capable people in the court, Jia Jing is also one of the best. In addition, the control of the nine provinces is a military post, which is also considered an important post in the Ministry of War.

Although the emperor's grandson is far more stable than most people of the same age, he is still young and vigorous. Last year, he defeated the Xihai Kingdom. In addition to being high-spirited, he intends to show his strength again. He also imagines going south with Jia Lian to quell the chaos and make meritorious service. , shook his head and said: "Although Su Shangshu's words are reasonable, the land of the southern barbarians is full of poisonous insects and miasma. Although Lord Jia is full of strategy, he entered the official position from the Kedi and went deep into the southern land. He may be harmful to his body."

The territory of this dynasty is vast, from north to south, from west to east, and the terrain and climate are quite different.Just as it is not easy for the garrison in the West Coast to adapt to the local climate, there are many things that people from the north cannot adapt to when they first arrive in southern Xinjiang.The Minister of the Ministry of War knew that the emperor's grandson's words were very reasonable, but the case of King Nan'an also involved the Ministry of War. The last time the chaos in Xihai was put down, the emperor's grandson and Jia Lian took the lead. Can Jia Lian take the lead again?

Besides, there are countless places where the ministries spend money. In order to apply for more money and funds, the ministers of the ministries have tried their best.Last time when the rebellion in Xihai Kingdom was quelled, because Emperor Jinghe wanted to set up the emperor's grandson and sent the emperor's grandson to go, other ministers could not say anything; Fearing that the Ministry of War will be squeezed out, if the money for building weapons and armor and distributing military salaries cannot be allocated, the consequences will be disastrous.

Confused, the Minister of the Ministry of War said: "Emperor Taisun's words are very true. It's just that Uncle Dingyuan has never been to southern Xinjiang in his life, so it is unknown whether he can adapt to the southern climate. Mr. Jia is also a descendant of Duke Ning. Back then, Lord Ning was so heroic and a little poisonous insect miasma, thinking about it, Mr. Jia couldn't be more difficult."

Jia Lian was originally bowing his head and pondering which conspirator was behind the linkage between the Japanese pirates and South Vietnam.It was heard that the Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the emperor's grandson were arguing over who to send as General Pingnan.He hurriedly raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I also think that Mr. Jia is the best candidate for General Pingnan."

As soon as this remark came out, Emperor Jinghe and the grandson of the emperor all looked at Jia Lian in unison.

Jia Lian smiled faintly, and repeated firmly: "My minister thinks that Mr. Jia, who will rule the nine provinces, is the best candidate for General Pingnan." It's not that Jia Lian didn't know that Emperor Jinghe wanted to cultivate himself to become the arm of the emperor's grandson, nor did he know that Jing Hedi and the emperor's grandson wanted Pingnan's coach to be himself.But Jia Lian also knew the embarrassment of the minister of the Ministry of war.

Not to mention ancient times, but also in modern society, ministries and commissions, central and local governments, and even departments of a large company all have interests that need to be balanced, and they are all sharing the same cake.But in Jia Lian's view, rights need to be checked and balanced.

Today, Emperor Jinghe and the emperor's grandson stand at the center of power, and they can use their power to appoint someone they trust to be General Pingnan.In future wars, others who stood at the center of power at that time can use today's example to recommend and appoint people they trust as General Zhengdong and General Dingbei.Who can guarantee that the person trusted by those in power in the future is also familiar with the art of war and warfare, and can be competent as the commander of the army?If things go on like this, they will eventually become nepotism, with laymen guiding experts.

It is said that without rules, there will be no squares. If you break the rules today, you will plant hidden dangers for future governance.Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be observed.The evacuation of the Ministry of War is even more serious than the evacuation of other departments.If due to today's precedent, there will be a matter of laymen guiding experts in the military department in the future, how many soldiers and Liming people will pay the price with their lives for this.

Jia Lian didn't know how long he could stay in this dynasty that had never appeared in history books. What he could do was to do his best to keep the court running on the right track and framework, instead of taking the initiative to break through.He is not afraid of fighting, but what he has to consider is not only to maximize his own interests when Emperor Jinghe and the emperor's grandson are in power, but also to hope that when his generation is gone, he can leave it to future generations. A well-functioning court.

Therefore, although Jia Lian was very familiar with southern Xinjiang, that is, the future Yunnan-Myanmar border, he was unwilling to be in charge of the Southern Expedition.

Because of Jia Lian's refusal, it was finally agreed that Jia Jing would be the general of Pingnan, and Jia Lian would be the vanguard, leading an army of [-] to march south.And Liu Ping led an army of [-] to the southeast coast to fight against Japanese pirates.

Because the military situation was urgent, Emperor Jinghe wrote the imperial edict overnight, assigned officers at all levels to the two southern expeditions, and planned to start calling troops early the next morning.

The last time the imperial court came back victorious in the battle along the coast of the West Sea, many soldiers were rewarded for their meritorious deeds and increased their ranks.Many of the children of Jia's family practiced riding and archery when they were young, and also learned a lot of modern military knowledge from Jia Lian. Many of them have the heart to make contributions in the army.It's just that many of the Jia family's children were not old enough back then, and they could only secretly envy them when they saw them come back for meritorious service and receive rewards.Now, a few years later, some of the Jia family's children have reached the age where they can join the army, and they are all eager to try.

What's more, the commanders of the two Southern Expedition armies are Jia Jing and Liu Ping, both of whom have made great achievements in the West Sea and have a very good reputation.Even if some parents were worried that swords and swords would have no eyes on the battlefield, they felt relieved when they learned that after joining the army, they would be assigned to Jia Jing or Liu Ping's subordinates.So, this time, many of the Jia family's children who had reached the age of joining the army also joined Jia Jing's command.

Of course, although these Jia family children learned riding and archery from the Jia family, they can be regarded as being trained by Jia Lian, so these Jia family children were all incorporated into Jia Lian's vanguard army.

The ancients got married early and stepped into society early.In modern society, these Jia family children are just a group of junior high school students, and the older ones also go to high school. Now they have to lead them to face war and life and death. Jia Lian can't help but feel that the burden on his shoulders is even heavier. Emphasize the precautions on the battlefield.

After a few days like this, the counting of soldiers was completed, and the army was about to set off.

This day when Jia Lian came back from training in the school field, he saw a familiar figure standing there straight at the entrance of Ningrong Street, as if he had been waiting for him for a while.

At the same time, Jiang Dahu also saw Jia Lian, stepped forward a few steps and cupped his fists and said, "Uncle Dingyuan."

As soon as Jia Lian saw that it was Jiang Dahu who came, he guessed something, didn't ask anything, but said with a smile: "Master Jiang has a heart, thank you for doing it for Jia Lian, please come inside."

Jiang Dahu was taken aback for a moment, but immediately realized that Jia Lian had already guessed his purpose, and said with a smile, "Then Jiang will go to Uncle Dingyuan's mansion to ask for a cup of tea."

Jia Lian took Jiang Dahu straight to Lixiangyuan. He didn't even have time to change into his sweaty clothes after the practice. He waved his hand to make the servants outside Lixiangyuan retreat far away, turned to Jiang Dahu and said, "Master Jiang, did the sixth prince escape? ?”
