Chapter 930 King Chu: I don't know if Jia Hou has ever seen the princess?
Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall, Inner Study Room
Emperor Chongping summoned several ministers of military aircraft and cabinet ministers to discuss matters. A grass-yellow map had already been hung on a screen with beautiful mountains and rivers in the palace, depicting the situation of the border.
In addition, because the Ministry of Household Department is in charge of money and food matters, Lin Ruhai, the left servant of the Household Department, is asked to listen.
Well, this time Lin Ruhai finally caught up with the meeting to discuss military and national affairs, looking at the cabinets and military aircraft present, his thoughts were somewhat complicated.
"Zi Yu, introduce the situation to Zhu Qing." Emperor Chongping sat behind the case, looking at the young man with gentle eyes.
With Ziyu here, everything is worry-free.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then said: "My lord, the strength of the Jurchen army, in addition to the Jurchen Eight Banners, there are also the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army. If my Han army is dispatched, the Jurchen will definitely dispatch all the east and west lines to contain my big man."
Needless to say, the Jurchen Eight Banners always have 6 people in armored banners. This is the essence and elite of the Jurchen. In fact, after these years of population reproduction, if it is still the same as in the Nurhachi period, if one of the five men is drawn, and all the people are soldiers, the Jurchen can make up more than ten people. Wan elite.
As for the Eight Banners of Mongolia, it was an allied army compiled and trained by Jurchen through the conquest of Mongolian tribes in the grassland, such as Horqin, and a series of marriage methods. Compared with the young men who plundered Hebei and Shandong in recent years, the Eight Banners of the Han Army have a relatively large number, but their combat power is the weakest.
Li Zan took up the conversation and said: "Although our Han army is several times larger than the captives, the fighting power of the two armies is far inferior. When I was in Hebei, I eliminated nearly half of the old and weak in Jizhen and turned them into auxiliary soldiers. , but even with the Hebei armies, if they want to fight the Jurchens in the field, there are very few soldiers who dare to charge and fight."
When Emperor Chongping heard the words, his eyes were a bit dim, and he said in a deep voice: "The country's military system is corrupt, money and food are wasted and huge, but the soldiers' combat effectiveness is not strong, and they urgently need to be rectified."
The king of Nan'an County listened and said, "Your Majesty, since the Jurchen sees that I am raising troops to help Mongolia and attack aggressively, do you want to wait a little longer?"
In fact, the king of Nan'an County was quite embarrassed. As the only minister who opposed Jia Heng's sending troops, he had to listen here.
However, after today, the king of Nan'an County can retire on sick leave, but the king of Nan'an County still wants to watch the progress of the war.
Jia Heng cast his sharp eyes on the King of Nan'an County, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, after the Jurchen annihilated Mongolia, wouldn't they attack me from all sides? At that time, after the Jurchen annexed Chahar Mongolia, they came here all over the country. I, a big man, should deal with more For tricky."
At that time, Ezhe's son will be crowned as Prince Chahar, and Jurchen has now become a complete body.
The King of Nan'an looked gloomy, and said: "This king is just expressing his worries, and he doesn't want the people in Hebei and other places to suffer from war again."
His obstinate opposition can be said to be in response to that sentence. Only when the sea is in the sea will he show his true qualities. After Xiao'er is defeated, he will turn the tide and help the building to collapse!
Emperor Chongping glanced at the Prince of Nan'an, and said, "Ziyu, how strong is my Han army?"
Jia Heng said: "Taking Datong alone as an example, there are 13 soldiers and horses, and 23 soldiers in Taiyuan. In addition, Cui Ling, the governor of Ping'an Prefecture, commanded [-] troops, adding up to [-] soldiers and horses."
In the end, Jia Heng felt a little bit of a headache. Even if he was killed, he would not believe that there would be more than 20 soldiers and horses. There is a lot of water in it.
However, because Taiyuan is the gateway to the land of the Three Jins and has the important task of guarding the capital, there have always been many standing soldiers and horses, so this should not be too outrageous.
In fact, there has been no war on the western front for a long time, the generals and schools are slack, and there are many soldiers and horses that cannot be filled.
Li Zan said: "The land of Taiyuan includes the [-] soldiers and horses of the Shanxi capital. In fact, many of them are military households. However, in recent years, there have been drought locusts in the north, and the imperial court allocated rice and grain for support. Regardless of combat power, the consumption of money and food is almost the same. Soldiers, no doubt."
Speaking of this, Qi Kun, Minister of the Household Department, frowned and said: "I'm afraid that the soldiers in the three towns will also make false reports. Taiyuan is not a frontier. It is not bad to have [-] soldiers and horses."
Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "Millions of frontier troops, the imperial court's frontier defense spends money and food every year is unimaginable. If we can enclose Mongolia, improve troops and simplify administration, how much food and food will be saved for the court?"
Jia Heng glanced at the emperor and thought to himself, the emperor is thinking about this cake, it is big, round and sweet, right?
Nan'an Junwang's face was as indifferent as frost, and he didn't want to talk much at the moment.
Li Zan pondered for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, Beiping has been rectified, and the number of soldiers and horses in the capital is [-]. There are eight soldiers in Ji Town and [-] in Xuanfu. If there is a police situation, Shandong can still send troops to support. It should be no problem." Big problem."
There is no way, the Han army at this time is like this, no matter how large the amount looks, but in real fights, most of the time they are vulnerable.
Of course, there are more people, and more courage.
Jia Heng walked up to the map and said: "Mr. Li Ge, the direction of Beiping is still dominated by defense. If the Jurchens come to attack, it should be the Jurchen elite as the main force, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army as servants, gathering 3 people to invade the south. At that time, the land of Yanzhao had solid walls and cleared the wilderness, fighting with the enemy, if this place could attract more troops, the situation in the west would be easier to deal with."
The Jurchens are less than 3, and they are invincible, even a mere [-] or [-] people, even the big men can't resist, so they can only rely on the city to hold on.
At this moment, Han Huang and Zhao Mo looked at the few people who were discussing with serious expressions on their faces.
Jia Heng asked: "Bei'an is in danger in the Xuan Mansion. Can Jiang Guan, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, withstand the Jurchen's offensive?"
There are also many characters in parallel time and space in this world, such as Wang Chengyin, the general soldier of Taiyuan, who was the general soldier of Xuanfu in the late Ming Dynasty in the parallel time and space, and Jiang Yu was the general soldier of Datong in the late Ming Dynasty. Of course, he may not be alone.
Li Zan pondered: "The troops in Xuanfu and other places have been eliminated, and their strength is still sufficient. We have sent Wang Ziteng to rectify them, and now we have seen results."
Wang Ziteng followed Li Zan to Peiping, and Li Zan was used to check the border troops in the process of rectifying the troops in the border towns to assist the border troops.
Jia Heng pondered and said: "Thieves and bandits have entered the police, and the Xuan Mansion is especially heavy. You can't be careless when you face the enemy directly."
Li Zan said: "Tuan training in various prefectures is enough to slow down the Jurchen's elite cavalry, and it's not like in the past when they invaded the land of no one."
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Emperor Chongping with folded hands, and said, "Your Majesty, the direction of Beiping will be handed over to Mr. Li Ge, and as for the direction of Datong, I will take care of it all by myself!"
Emperor Chongping showed satisfaction on his face, and said: "Since it has been agreed, Ziyu should not delay the matter. Let's lead the troops to Datong. The household department must provide money and grain, and the military department's military equipment in time, so that there is no shortage. Lin Qing, You and Qi Qing personally supervised the matter of money and food, mobilized food and fodder from the warehouse, and handed over the military equipment, armor and other supplies to the king of Chu to raise funds."
The current king of Chu is not yet the minister of military affairs, but he is already the minister of the Ministry of War, and the king of Qi County is also the minister of the warehouse, almost all of them have some connection with military affairs.
At this time, Lin Ruhai followed Qi Kun and bowed to Chongping, and just now he had been listening to his son-in-law giving advice, feeling somewhat complicated.
When the ministers dispersed, Emperor Chongping called Han Huang and said, "Han Qing stay."
Han Huang paused, took a deep breath, and then stayed in the inner study, playing against Emperor Chongping alone.
Not to mention how Emperor Chongping gave Han Huang face-to-face advice, but said that Jia Heng had received the imperial edict and left Daming Palace without stopping, and it was already past noon.
The spring day was bright and the cold wind was blowing. Riding the horse slowly made one's spirits shake. Just as Jia Heng left the palace, a group of guards from the Jinyi Mansion followed.
Jia Heng turned to look at the handsome Chen Xiao, and said, "Xiaoxiao, choose another day to send troops, let's go to the Beijing camp first."
The Ministry of War will send someone to deliver the seal of the General Who Conquers to the Beijing camp, and he will also need to personally watch over the preparations before dispatching troops.
Chen Xiaoyu's face was almost as clear as frost, but her heart was a little emotional, she took the rein in her hand, and went to the capital camp with Jia Heng.
Beijing Camp, Chinese Army Camp
At this moment, the soldiers and horses of the battalion have already started to move. This time, the elite cavalry is still dispatched to Taiyuan. At this moment, the luggage followed closely, and the Hongyi cannons were transported by mules and horses.
Generals Fan Yi, Song Yuan, and Pang Shili are counting the various units of the cavalry army going out, and they need to reorganize. Because of the sequence during the Henan War, the cavalry drawn from the [-]th Regiment Battalion and the Guard Army at this moment have already been organized. Practice the queue.
The infantry and auxiliary soldiers transported supplies, because Taiyuan is a border town, and Shanxi is an important food and taxation area, the entire logistics system is very smooth.
"Jie Shuai is here." The guerrilla general Jia Fang came from the outside and said to Qian Hu Guan, Jia Heng's cousin Dong Qian.
Song Yuan and Fan Yi heard the words, quickly called Xie Zaiyi, Cai Quan, Qi Jianhui and other generals who were busy, went to the gate of the camp, and welcomed Jia Heng to the barracks of the Chinese army.
Jia Heng looked at the generals and said: "Everyone, this battle is different from the past. This time we will fight against the Jurchen elite, and it is not a water battle, but on land."
The strategic purpose this time, in addition to rectifying the military affairs of Taiyuan and Datong, is actually to fight jointly with the Mongolian cavalry in Chahar.
Of course, he will wait for the opportunity to seize the military power of the second town first, otherwise he will easily be framed by pig teammates in a big battle.
As for whether there will be a big war, it will definitely appear as the war situation develops.
We must know that the outbreak of the Battle of Changping was only because Feng Ting, the governor of Shangdang County, dedicated Shangdang County to the State of Zhao.
"This time, [-] cavalry troops will be dispatched first to aid Datong, and then [-] infantry will be sent to Taiyuan to support Beiping." Jia Heng then said the troop deployment arrangement, and said.
He had an overall plan in mind, the cavalry was just to facilitate the entry into the grassland, so that they could fight against the Jurchen with the Chahar Mongols, and the infantry was to solve the irreversible situation of the Datong, Taiyuan and other armies in one fell swoop.
As for the pawns, they still deal with Peiping more.
Song Yuan pondered and said: "Jie Shuai, if you go to Datong with a cavalry army, it will take six or seven days to allocate the luggage."
This time it was not Henan. At that time, the Henan treasury had money and food, and the homes of two vassal kings were confiscated, so the problem of military food was solved at once.
"The government treasury in Taiyuan, Shanxi has some grain and fodder. In addition, the rations for a few days are prepared first. In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs has also prepared civilian husbands to allocate grain and fodder. They will go to Datong with the infantry." Jia Heng said in a low voice.
Isn't there still Shanxi merchants?When did he go out with a large amount of military supplies?Always been a big grabber.
But this matter is too confidential to disclose at all, so he didn't say a word in front of the imperial court just now.
The Ministry of Households will definitely transfer money and food, but Shanxi merchants and frontier generals, he wants to take the opportunity to wipe out these silverfish.
Song Yuan's face shook slightly, and he said: "Since this is the case, there should be no serious problem with the supply of food and fodder."
Jia Heng nodded, and said: "For ordnance and armor, the Ministry of War will send a special person to take charge."
This is a battle that will overwhelm the country. It can be said that the emperor has devoted the greatest energy and attention to him, and has huge expectations for him. He is just waiting to reap a brilliant victory.
At this moment, the soldiers came to report and said, "I want to report to Marshal Jie, the prince of Chu is asking to see you outside the barracks."
Jia Heng's face was silent, and he ordered: "When people come, go and meet them."
Not long after, Chen Qin, the king of Chu, dressed in a silver-white python robe and handsome, came from the outside with Shi Liaoxian, the head of the palace.
A young man in his 20s, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, fair skin, and dignified appearance, saluted Jia Heng no matter how far away he was, and said, "Marquis of Yongning."
Jia Heng looked at the young king not far away, his eyes hovered over the blue scarf above his head, and he cupped his hands and said, "I've seen you, my lord."
After all, you are a nobleman in the sky, the etiquette is that you respect me one foot, and I will pay you back three feet. This has nothing to do with people of the same way.
By the way, Zhen Qing is almost three months old now, and it's time to show her pregnancy.
The generals behind him also clasped their fists to salute Chen Qin.
With a smile on his face, the king of Chu returned the salutes one by one. Looking at the high-spirited generals and military officers in front of him, he felt a little hot in his heart. With the support of these people, why not worry about the big things?
Jia Heng welcomed Chen Qin to the Chinese army's barracks, divided the guests and hosts into seats, and said with a smile: "Just now I was talking to Master Song that the military equipment and armor for this expedition still need to be raised. Just as I was talking, the prince came."
The King of Chu also laughed and said: "This is Xiaowang's responsibility. Don't worry, Jia Hou, these weapons must be fully prepared, bows, crossbows and arrows, armored weapons, and Xiaowang is coordinating with the military supervisor."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "I am relieved to have the prince sitting in the military department to raise armaments."
As he said that, he looked at Fan Yi at the side and said, "Secretary Fan, please contact His Highness King Chu for the ordnance detail book that needs to be replaced."
The King of Chu pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, I want to consult Jiahou about some private matters. Is it convenient?"
Jia Heng paused, and said: "This is a military camp, what is the prince's personal matter?"
This king of Chu obviously did it on purpose, and he insisted on creating an impression that he was very familiar with him in front of the Beijing camp general.
At this time, Song Yuan got up from his seat, cupped his hands and said, "Jie Shuai, I'm going back to prepare for the dispatch of troops."
Dong Qian and a group of generals also left the barracks of the Chinese army one after another under the pretext of having something to do, leaving only Jia Heng and King Chu for a while.
Jia Heng picked up the teacup and looked at the young king opposite with a smile on his face.
"Didn't Jiahou go back to Jinling last time? I wonder if Jiahou has seen the princess before?" Chu Wang suddenly said coldly.
The teacup in Jia Heng's hand made a "click" and said, "I've seen it before, what does the lord know?"
Not only have I seen it, but I have been obsessed with it for a long time.
The King of Chu smiled and asked, "How is the unknown princess doing now?"
Jia Heng shook his head, put down the teacup, and said: "I don't know, if the prince misses Princess Chu, he can send someone to Jinling to inquire about the current situation."
The King of Chu said softly: "It's a long journey, and it's hard to see now."
In fact, he wanted the young Marquis Wu in front of him to recognize him as his godfather to his future son as he recognized Shui Xin.
"Last time I came to write a letter, and now the two cousins are in Jiahou's mansion?" Chu Wang changed the subject and asked with a smile.
Jia Heng said: "The two of them are living in the house, it's pretty good."
The king of Chu was clearly trying to get close to him.
King Chu nodded, with eager eyes, and said softly: "During the Chinese New Year, Concubine Liu also said that she wanted to take Lan'er and Xi'er over, so that relatives and relatives should have a good reunion. But Lan girl said that the princess is not here, so it's not easy to bother her."
In fact, he and Ziyu are brother-in-law. If we talk about Xianning, he is also Xianning's elder brother.
Jia Heng said softly: "The two of them have their own opinions, and the old lady also regards them as her own granddaughters."
The king of Chu saw Jia Heng's expression was weak, and he didn't want to talk deeply. Although he was a little disappointed, he was not frustrated, and said with a smile: "There is nothing else, Xiao Wang is going to be busy."
Jia Heng stood up and saw them off, saying: "My lord, go slowly."
After King Chu left, Chen Xiao came over from the side, her icy-muscled and jade-skinned face was covered with frost, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth: "I thought you were going to tell him about the child's last name."
Jia Heng: "..."
Jia Heng turned to look at the Fangzi Jingli, the girl who is so pure and elegant, seeing the coldness at the corner of her mouth, she couldn't help but patted the crisp and round under the skirt, and said softly: "When you have a child, What's your last name?"
Chen Xiao was patted by Jia Heng, and she felt as if she had been bitten by a snake. Her heart was filled with embarrassment, her snow-clear jade cheeks were as red as a cloud of blush, and she glared at Jia Heng.
This person... What a bastard, how could he pat her?Do you still want her to pout...
This, I watched too much some time ago, and I was a little dazed.
As for having a child in the future, the surname is naturally Chen.
At the beginning, she had promised her to adopt a child to her father Wang Chengsi.
In fact, when Jia Heng returned to the Ningguo Mansion that night, Chen Xiao noticed the movement, and then followed Jia Heng back to the mansion, and then saw the scene of Jia Heng and Sister Feng's errands by moonlight.
Jia Heng looked at the pretty girl, took Chen Xiao's plain hand, and said in a warm voice: "Okay, prepare the soldiers and horses, we will go out in two days, I will go back to the house later."
At this moment, thinking that Mr. Zheng has already passed the news of his going to the Rongning and Ningxia prefectures, he should say goodbye to Baochai and Miaoyu later.
The news of Jia Heng's expedition not only spread to the two prefectures of Rongning and Ningxia, but at this moment, the great Han Yongninghou was named the general who conquered the captives, and the matter of leading the troops to the Kruppets in northern Xinjiang has already been discussed in the entire Shenjing.
Thanks to the fact that Jia Heng captured Prince Jurchen last time and the Taimiao presented him as a prisoner, the people of Shenjing now know the name of Marquis of Yongning.
But after some thoughtful explanations, this battle is different. Last time the main force in Lukou was the Korean Navy, and this time it was the authentic Jurchen Eight Banners.
The Jurchens are less than ten thousand, full of invincible elites of the Eight Banners.
After Nan'an County King returned home, his face was gloomy like water, and he sat on the grand master's chair in the inner hall of the back house, his face was full of anger, his eyes were sometimes fierce, and he wanted to devour people.
"My lord, what's the matter?" Accompanied by her mother, Luo Shi, Princess of Nan'an County, came down with a worried look on her face.
And at this moment, Princess Nan'an, supported by her mother and the daughters of the Prince of Nan'an, also stepped over the threshold and looked at the Prince of Nan'an.
"Ye'er." Concubine Nan'an called softly, with a look of worry on her well-maintained fair face.
Besides, Princess Wei Yan Yiliu was beside her, she was just a tall girl with a beautiful face, her face was full of melancholy.
King Wei and Princess Wei Yan Yiliu were married for a year, but Yan Yiliu didn't feel the slightest movement in his stomach, and King Wei Chen Ran was not as close to Yan Yiliu as before, and this Princess Wei was very troubled by this matter.
The king of Nan'an County said: "Today's court meeting, what did the boy say that Jurchen wanted to annex Chahar Mongolia, and I, a big man, insisted on sending troops to conquer. Originally, the courtiers opposed it, but the cabinet and the military plane were deceived by the boy, so they all agreed with him. So what if you have suffered a crushing defeat?"
Concubine Nan'an was surprised and said, "Ye'er, is there going to be a war? Didn't we fight a lot last year?"
"The kid has tasted the sweetness of fighting, and he still wants to be promoted to a noble. He doesn't care about the difficulties of our country, and he doesn't know the danger of the war against the captives. If there is another big defeat, how will the situation be dealt with in the future?"
Although the thought of watching Jia Heng's jokes had already been hidden in his heart, when he thought of the embarrassing scene where he was incompatible with the cabinet and military aircraft in front of all the court officials watching, an evil fire hit his head.
Concubine Nan'an heard the words and said in relief: "Ye'er, that kid is not going to fight, if he loses the battle, he will lose all his family members, and that will be the fate of the Niu family at that time."
Sometimes I have to say, like a son, like a mother.
"The last time I saw the Niu family, I was really pitiful. The girls of the Niu family, who are beautiful and fresh, are staying in the Jiaofang Division, and they are not easy to redeem. They need documents from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites." Mrs. Nan'an The concubine sighed with emotion.
Yan Yiliu turned his eyes to look at his grandmother and his father, under the beautiful eyebrows, there was a hint of thought in the beautiful eyes.
The King of Nan'an was furious, he thumped the case hard, he shook the teacup on the case, and said in a low voice: "Mother, if Jia Heng's defeat is ruined and our elite soldiers don't know what to do, the situation will be dangerous at that time. How can the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty be like that?"
Even if he is able to turn the tide, he still has to put in a lot of hands and feet. At that time, the state affairs of the great Han Zhongxing will decline.
Concubine Nan'an said: "Ye'er appease your anger first, let's wait and see what happens, if the frontline battle goes wrong, Ye'er, you can go out and save the situation."
The King of Nan'an County sighed, his eyes were deep, and he said: "The traitor is in power, and he is rampant for a while, so he can only stay dormant for a while."
