A few days before the wedding, Jia Yun was very busy with various things to do. Fortunately, the wedding between him and Xue Baochai was organized by the etiquette department, otherwise he would be even busier. The one thing he cared about most these days was not preparing for himself
Instead, they provided pensions and rewards to the officers and soldiers of Chang'an Camp.
He will not forget the more than 3,000 Chang'an camp officers and soldiers who died in Jiangnan, nor the more than 3,000 small tombs scattered in Suzhou, Hangzhou, etc., nor the more than 3,000 simple tombstones.
He had decided before when he was in Jiangnan that he must pay attention to the compensation for the families of the fallen officers and soldiers and the return of their belongings afterwards. How could he delay such a thing?
In addition, it was not only Jia Yun, a senior general, who made great contributions to the Chang'an camp in quelling the rebellion in Jiangnan. All other officers and soldiers had more or less meritorious service, so they should all be rewarded.
The reward should be rewarded with silver...
Jia Yun has not forgotten even Xin Yong's reward. Jia Yun had promised Xin Yong before that as long as Xin Yong was loyal to him and worked hard at Chang'an Firearms Factory, he would be generously rewarded in the future, including financial rewards and promotion to official positions.
, if the firearms made by Xin Yong achieved great military exploits, Jia Yun would even suggest to Emperor Tianzhi that Xin Yong be knighted.
This time, thanks to Jia Yun's efforts, Emperor Tianzhi agreed to confer a title on Xin Yong. He was given the title of Enqi Lieutenant of the seventh rank, with a reward of fifty taels and no promotion in official position. Such a reward was of great significance to a craftsman like Xin Yong.
It can be said to be a heavy reward. Although the official position cannot be promoted, Enqiwei is the lowest title for a hero with a different surname. However, with such a seventh-grade title, Xin Yong's status has been greatly improved. Fifty taels of gold are also included.
A lot of wealth.
In addition to Xin Yong, other officers and soldiers of Chang'an Camp, Jia Yun are also striving for better rewards.
There are also people who do not need Jia Yun to fight for, such as Cao Wu. Because Cao Wu has made great military achievements, and his father Cao Wei is a close confidant of Emperor Tianzhi and is already an important minister of the court, Emperor Tianzhi took the initiative to give Cao Wu an offer.
The rewards include both promotion to official rank and title, from the fourth-rank captain to the third-rank general, and from the fifth-rank cavalry officer to the fourth-rank captain.
Jia Yun was serious and sincere in his emphasis on the pensions and rewards for the officers and soldiers of Chang'an Camp, but he also knew that such things would allow him to win over the hearts and minds of Chang'an Camp and strengthen his prestige in Chang'an Camp.
…
…
Jia Yunping returned to Beijing directly after rebelling against Jiangnan, but Cao Wu did not return to Beijing, but returned to Chang'an Mansion with the Chang'an camp army.
Time came to September 21st, and the day after tomorrow was the day of Jia Yun's wedding. On this day, Cao Wu and Tang Daqian returned to Shenjing City from Chang'an Mansion, because it was their turn to take a break, and because Jia Yun
Yun is getting married, how can they not participate based on their friendship with Jia Yun?
In the evening of that day, Cao Wu hosted Jia Yun and Tang Daqian for a dinner at a fine restaurant in Shenjing City. There was no one else at the dinner, just the three of them.
The three of them have been to this fine restaurant together many times. It seems that the first time they had dinner together was in this restaurant after they were rewarded together for the Battle of the Palace. At that time, Cao Wu and Tang Daqian both thanked Jia Yun.
Everyone also wished that he would be able to pass the martial arts high school in the future. Jia Yun still dreamed at that time that not only would she be able to dominate the world in her life, but she would also be able to make some contributions to the country...
Times have changed, and more than four years have passed in the blink of an eye. Over the past four years, the three of them have passed the martial arts examinations in high school together and worked hand in hand in the officialdom. Now Tang Daqian is the fourth-rank captain, and Cao Wu is the third-rank general and fourth-rank captain.
Jia Yun even became Prince Zhongwu and the military governor of Chang'an.
In this life, Jia Yun is lucky to have friends like Cao Wu and Tang Daqian, and Cao Wu and Tang Daqian are also lucky to have friends like Jia Yun.
"Your Majesty, I must offer you this first glass of wine today. Even though I am a rough man, I also know that the contribution I made in Jiangnan this time was due to Your Majesty's care for me. It was Your Majesty who specially asked me to participate in the interception.
Mu Zhi's mission gave me the opportunity to capture Mu Zhi alive with my own hands." Cao Wu raised his glass to Jia Yun.
Jia Yun raised her wine glass, smiled slightly, and drank a drink with Cao Wu. Although Cao Wu was able to capture Mu Zhi alive, partly because of Cao Wu's own ability, Jia Yun did take care of Cao Wu in this matter, and based on their relationship,
There is no need to say anything like this.
There was no one to serve in the private room. The restaurant owner wanted to arrange for a maid to serve, but Jia Yun refused. Now Jia Yun poured herself some wine, then raised her glass to Tang Daqian and said with a smile: "Daqian, I respect this glass."
You, it’s really unfair to you that I couldn’t take you to the south of the Yangtze River to make military exploits this time, but I told you that I will give you good opportunities in the future.”
The whole army of Chang'an Camp went to the south of the Yangtze River, but Jia Yun arranged for Tang Daqian to sit in Chang'an. Watching Chang'an Camp receive a wide range of awards, including Cao Wu, how could Tang Daqian not be envious? What's more, he also had merit this time, not only
He took control of Chang'an and completed the work of making trip mines and transporting explosive packages to Jiangnan.
Tang Daqian hurriedly raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "I also said that although I envy Brother Wu this time, I won't be jealous. The prince doesn't have to say such things to me at all. I should respect the prince.
"
Cao Wu raised his glass and said with a smile: "I'd better join in this glass of wine."
The three of them laughed and finished.
Next, Tang Daqian took the initiative to raise his wine glass to Jia Yun and asked Cao Wu to raise his wine glass. Tang Daqian said to Jia Yun: "Your Majesty, Brother Wu and I will toast you with this glass of wine. Congratulations on your wedding in the future."
I wish you have a son soon."
Cao Wu said with a smile: "Daqian's concubine will give birth soon. Once this child is born, Daqian will have two children, and I will have three children. Your Majesty must give birth to your son as soon as possible. Your Majesty is a wealthy man."
He is so capable. Even my father has praised the prince many times as a genius from heaven. I thought that the prince should not be any worse than me and Daqian when it comes to having children. I estimate that it will not be long before he is able to excel in this aspect.
It will surpass both of us."
Jia Yun raised her glass and smiled: "I will fight for it. If I can't compare with you in this aspect in the future, I will feel it is degrading."
Hahaha... Cao Wu and Tang Daqian both laughed.
Cao Wu already has two sons and a daughter, Tang Daqian also has a son, and one of Tang Daqian's concubines has recently become pregnant. Jia Yun, let alone children now, will marry his wife later. Of course, this matter is not Jia Yun's.
Yun lacks ability in this area, but he is much younger than Cao Wu and Tang Daqian. In addition, although he already has a wife, before marrying his wife, even if he has a wife, it is inconvenient for him to give up his wife.
Mr. Liren has a son and a daughter.
The three of them chatted for a while about their wives, concubines, and children, and drank a few glasses of wine.
Cao Wu, who was already a little drunk at this time, couldn't help but ask Jia Yun: "Your Majesty, in a few days, shouldn't it be time for our Chang'an camp to conquer the Shui family?"
Tang Daqian also looked at Jia Yun curiously after hearing this.
Cao Wu and Tang Daqian both knew that the Chang'an camp should soon go to conquer the Shuijia of the Qing Dynasty, because the war between the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty was very difficult and had lasted for half a year. The expedition had not made much progress, and
Chang'an Camp once again proved its strong military strength by suppressing the rebellion in Jiangnan, and also demonstrated Jia Yun's superb leadership ability.
Cao Wu and Tang Daqian were both looking forward to conquering the Shui family of the Qing Dynasty. They both wanted to fight for the country, and they both wanted to achieve military merit. The conquest of the Shui family of the Qing Dynasty was full of military merit. In addition, Tang Daqian's father Tang
Anping, as early as half a year ago, he led the foreign firearms battalion to conquer the Shuijia of the Qing Dynasty. He had been fighting abroad for half a year without returning to Beijing. Tang Daqian missed his father and was worried about his father's safety, so he wanted to fight alongside his father.
Jia Yun paused and said: "I'm thinking that it's very likely. Whether it is true or not depends on the situation and the decisions of my father and the adults in the Military Aircraft Department."
Jia Yun actually had less expectations than expectations regarding the conquest of the Shui family in the Qing Dynasty.
He will get married the day after tomorrow, and he wants to enjoy his post-wedding life. Qin Keqing and Li Feixue are also waiting for him to accept him as his concubine, and he knows that it is much more difficult to quell the Shui family in the Qing Dynasty than in Jiangnan. Unless
He developed very powerful weapons such as bayonet flintlocks, simple machine guns, and simple rocket launchers. Otherwise, even if he led the Chang'an camp to conquer the Shuijia of the Qing Dynasty, the war would be difficult and it would be a long-term war.
The problem is that it is not convenient for Jia Yun to develop weapons such as bayonet flintlocks, simple machine guns, and simple rocket launchers now. These are secret weapons that he will use to seize the throne and fight for hegemony in the future. Jia Yun will not conquer the Qing Dynasty.
The Shui family harmed their own great cause of seizing the throne and fighting for hegemony.
Jia Yun, Cao Wu, and Tang Daqian continued to drink...
As he drank, Cao Wu got drunker and drunker. He was still the same as before. This guy habitually pointed out the country when he was drunk. Jia Yun and Tang Daqian were also the same as before. At this time, they were habitually taciturn.
Listening to Cao Wu's instructions, he thought about his own thoughts.
Jia Yun thought, the biggest enemy the Qing Dynasty faced now was not just the Shui family of the Qing Dynasty. The biggest enemy was the West, which was developing at a rapid pace!
One of the reasons why he planned to seize the throne early is that he is confident that with the skills and knowledge of his previous life, once he becomes the Ninth Five-Year Master, he can make this country develop at a high speed, even surpassing the pace of the West.
He sincerely wants to make some contributions to this country that has suffered so much in the past and future.
The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty.
Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que.
Thinking of this, Jia Yun raised her glass: "This glass of wine is for the world!"
Cao Wu and Tang Daqian didn't quite understand the meaning of these words, and of course they wouldn't stop raising their glasses just because they didn't understand.
Dry!
…
…
More than a year ago, that is, in February last year, the engagement process between Jia Yun and Xue Baochai mainly followed folk wedding customs. Now that Jia Yun is marrying Xue Baochai as the sixth prince and Prince Zhongwu, naturally she can no longer mainly follow folk wedding customs.
Marriage customs must follow the etiquette of a prince's wedding. This aspect is handled by the court's etiquette department. Jia Yun does not need to worry too much. All he needs to do is to participate according to the instructions of the etiquette department.
Even though China has a long history, situations like Jia Yun's are really rare, because it's really rare for a prince to become a commoner and then return to the royal family.
September 23rd was the wedding day of Jia Yun and Xue Baochai. This time, nothing happened. After more than a year of getting engaged, the wedding of the two people, which had been a lot of trouble, was finally going to take place on this day.
The scale of this wedding is naturally grand. After all, the man is a prince and has just made a great military exploit. Although the woman’s natal family is not even an official family, it was once a famous official family and was related to Rongguo Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion.
Wang Ziteng, a high-ranking official, lives in the Wang family, and the woman will become the princess after passing through.
The day before the wedding, September 22nd, the plaque on the entrance to Prince Wujun's Mansion has been changed to "Prince Zhongwu's Mansion", which means that this palace can no longer be called Prince Wujun's Mansion and should be called Prince Zhongwu's Mansion.
On this day, the Xue family sent Xue Baochai's dowry to Prince Zhongwu's Mansion, a total of one hundred and twenty-eight loads, including gold and silver, jewelry, real estate, shops, antiques, and even daily necessities such as spittoons and chamber pots.
The total value of the property is about 160,000 taels of silver!
Originally Aunt Xue was going to give a dowry worth fifteen taels of silver, but now that Jia Yun was promoted to prince, Aunt Xue symbolically added a dowry of ten thousand taels of silver. You know, Aunt Xue brought a total of 10,000 taels of property with her
It was only worth hundreds of thousands taels of silver. Some of the 160,000 taels of silver this time were sent by her from the Xue family from Jiangnan.
When marrying a wealthy family in the Qing Dynasty, a daughter would usually be given a full dowry of sixty-four kilograms, or at least a half-groomed dowry of thirty-two kilograms. As for Jia Yun, as the prince's wedding, the Xue family gave her a dowry of one hundred and twenty kilograms.
Eight dowries.
When the eldest prince Xia Hao, the third prince Xia Huang, and the fourth prince Xia Hao got married, the women also gave a dowry of 128 taels, but the value of the dowry was only 100,000 taels of silver at most. In this regard, they were all ignored by Jia.
After all, the dowry worth 160,000 taels of silver was not much since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.
One hundred and twenty-eight people carrying dowries were escorted by a team of hundreds of people, forming a mighty long dragon, from the Xue Mansion in the west city of Shenjing City to the Prince Zhongwu Mansion in the east city. Naturally, many people gathered along the way.
Many people also became envious and jealous of the Xue family and Xue Baochai.
The hundreds of people escorting the dowry were mainly composed of people from the Xue family, people from the Rongguo Mansion, and people from the Wang family. Although Wang Ziteng and Jia Yun had conflicts before, this time Wang Ziteng's niece Xue Baochai is going to marry as a princess.
How can the Wang family not participate in helping?
After these hundreds of people escorting the dowry delivered the dowry to Prince Zhongwu's palace, they naturally had to host a banquet. Jia Yun did not need to worry about the banquet, as it was handled by the Emperor's Internal Affairs Office.
However, Jia Yun still came forward in person and witnessed with her own eyes the process of one hundred and twenty-eight dowries being delivered to the palace. She also saw with her own eyes that these dowries were moved into the apse courtyard behind the main palace courtyard where he lived. In this apse, Jia Yun also
He has personally chosen the name Huixiutang. Xue Baochai is a beautiful and intelligent woman, while Jia Yun's biological mother, Concubine Duan, presides over the Chuxiu Palace in the palace.
From tomorrow onwards, Xue Baochai will be admitted to the Huixiu Hall of Prince Zhongwu’s Mansion!
