In other words, Jia Rong himself underestimated the influence of the story "The Hussars General" and its impact on the natives of Daqian Capital.
In the past, the popular stories on the market, especially the novels that storytellers were willing to spread, were basically legendary stories about generals of the Yue family, generals of the Yang family, and heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Otherwise, the love stories between scholars and ladies are basically the same routine.
Anyone with a certain amount of social experience will not believe the authenticity of these stories.
The generals of the Yue family and the Yang family are relatively normal, and their personal martial arts and marching formations are reasonable to a certain extent.
But that's it, formations with a fantasy color such as the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation and the Tianmen Formation appeared.
As for the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, that is quite exaggerated.
At every turn, he has a sledgehammer weighing eight hundred kilograms in his hand, which is incomparable to the reincarnation of Xiang Yu.
As for love stories like Miss Scholar, they are just the random thoughts of those down-and-out scholars.
Just kidding, in the era of feudal ethics, the whereabouts and scope of activities of ladies were strictly regulated.
Even adult male relatives with blood ties will generally not cross the border easily.
Even if you meet your foreigner, you are surrounded by a lot of maids and women, how can you have the opportunity to have an ambiguous and secret love?
Not to mention a down and out poor scholar, it is hard to say whether he will have a chance to get close to those young ladies.
Such novels can only be enjoyed by those down-and-out scholars and ordinary people in the city. Whoever takes it seriously is a fool.
The plot of the novel "The General of the Cavalry" is completely different from the popular novels mentioned above. It tells the history of the struggles of small people and is full of iron-blooded pride.
Just like the advent of fantasy novels, it is definitely a dimensionality-reducing blow to martial arts novels.
As soon as the unique style of "The Hussars General" came out, it naturally suppressed other novels and stories.
Not to mention, in order to promote this novel, Jia Rong hired more than a dozen famous storytellers at the beginning to work together, forming a considerable momentum.
Don't forget that the capital is the area with the strongest royal power.
The secret spies controlled by the royal family will naturally report some major and minor events that occur in the capital.
It is conceivable that both today and the emperor soon learned about the explosive story of "The General of the Cavalry".
Not to mention the specific intention of Ning Mansion to vigorously promote this story, it is difficult not to be attracted by the plot of the story even today and the emperor.
Just kidding, although the story of "The Hussars General" blurs the dynastic background, anyone who is not a fool can figure out a little bit of the flavor.
Today and the emperor can naturally see that the background of the story of "The Hussar General" should be the story that happened during the Tumubao period in the late Ming Dynasty.
It's just that the pig's feet are quite capable of turning the tide.
During this period, the experience of pig trotters was still the nourishing life the family lived when they had a baby.
Entering the frontier army sequence, I saw what I saw and heard along the way, as well as my initial impression of the frontier army and some of my experiences in the army.
What is most described is naturally various military affairs, which are described as if they were real. A layman can have a clearer understanding of the border army through the plot of the story.
Today and the emperor are not fools. By comparing the situation of the frontier army described in the story "The General of the Hussars" with what they know about the situation of the frontier army, they will naturally be able to understand it well.
As the emperor of Daqian in peacetime, he naturally did not know the specific details of the army.
But through the story "The General of the Hussars", they can clearly understand some of the stereotypes and inappropriate habits in the army.
Times are different, some problems may have changed, and some problems may have simply disappeared, but the overall situation should not have changed much.
In other words, it is quite rare to be able to indirectly understand some of the actual situations in the army through the story "The General of the Hussars".
In the past, it was not easy for the emperor to understand the internal details of the military.
Not only the current emperor but also the emperor heard the story of "The Hussars General" for the first time, and they also learned a lot from it.
After hearing the content of the story of "The General of the Cavalry", Jin and the emperor were naturally very curious about the existence of someone who could write such a novel.
Based on the content of the novel alone, I know that the guy who wrote the novel is very familiar with military affairs, and is either a veteran in the army, or someone with a family background.
When promoting the story of "The General Hussars", Jia Rong had no intention of hiding it.
Besides, it’s impossible to hide such obvious traces even if you want to.
Therefore, any powerful dignitary in the capital can basically find out who the author of the story "The General of the Cavalry" is, let alone the current emperor.
After receiving the accurate news, both the current emperor and the emperor were quite surprised.
Speaking of Ning Mansion, it has indeed fallen into decline rapidly in recent decades.
The main reason is that there are not enough important officials serving in the court, and they will naturally be easily ignored over time.
Of course, as a member of the Founding Eight Gong Group, it is impossible to really ignore Ning Mansion now, but just not pay attention to it.
Now, I am naturally quite surprised to hear that the story of "The General of the Cavalry" was actually written by Jia Rong, the head of the Ning Mansion.
I didn't think that I was going to be shocked. I just thought that Jia Rong was so familiar with military affairs and that he was a good general. That's all.
At this time, Daqian had been peaceful for nearly a hundred years. There were occasional frictions at the border fortress, but the scale was not large.
Under such circumstances, whether it is today or the emperor, the demand for qualified or outstanding generals is not that great.
Otherwise, in the story of Red Mansions, it would not be Prince Teng’s turn to be the governor of the capital.
Wang Ziteng was definitely not as old as Mr. Sheng, so he would not have experienced any wars. His ability to rise up the ranks in Jingying relied on his own business capabilities and connections in Rongfu.
Not to mention these, in short, through the story of "The Hussar General" and the subsequent novels, Jia Rong has entered the eyes of today and the emperor.
The Great Qian Dynasty has been at peace for a hundred years. Recently, whether it is the northern border fortress or the southern border, the extraterritorial forces there are getting ready to make moves.
It is obvious that the days of peace in Daqian will not last long.
Of course, it is impossible not to be curious about Jia Rong's purpose in doing this.
The story of "The Horseman" is not only read and listened to by men, but also by women.
Even in the harem, when some relatives visited the concubines in the harem, they did not forget to bring the novel "The General of the Horse" to the palace as a pastime for the concubines when they were bored.
Not to mention, such a masculine novel is quite popular in the harem.
Even the imperial palace has spread the story. How could it be possible that the story of "The General of the Hussars" is not recited in the Rongfu Palace?
In The Story of the Red Mansion, Jia Mu is very lively.
She is getting older and is less willing to go out, but that doesn't mean she doesn't like to inquire about outside rumors.
Then, Jia Mu learned about the story "The Hussar General", which was written by Jia Rong of Dongfu.
Naturally, doubts inevitably arise in my heart, and I want to find out Jia Rong's specific thoughts.
She would not think that Jia Rong, a powerful third-class general and head of the Ning Mansion, had enough free time to come up with a story and write a novel to entertain the public.
Although the story of "The Hussars General" is very exciting and she likes to hear it, some things are better understood in detail.
But before she could send someone over to inquire, she heard a series of measures taken by Ning Mansion.
Suddenly, with Jia Mu's experience and determination, she couldn't help but be shocked.
At the same time, she also realized that Jia Rong wrote novels and compiled stories to pave the way for the current matter.
It’s nothing to give birth to a family, and it’s not like Mother Jia has never done it before?
The son of Housekeeper Lai, Lai Shangrong, was released from the country and became a standard commoner as soon as he was born. This was a favor given by Jia Mu.
However, she couldn't be satisfied that the Ning Mansion actually helped a group of families who had just released their citizenship to sign up for this year's martial arts competition.
Ning's family only has so many connections in the military. Wouldn't it be a pity if all of them were wasted on a bunch of family-born children who were released from prison?
She immediately called Jia Rong over and wanted to teach him a lesson and ask him to be more honest. This was not how things happened.
If you feel unhappy, you will break out. The old lady has such authority and willfulness.
However, when she called Lian Er, who happened to be at home, to the Rongqing Hall and told the matter, Lian Er did not move.
"Old lady, the matter is not as serious as you said!"
Lian Er smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Rong has no intention of wasting resources!"
"Why isn't it a waste?"
Mother Jia's face darkened and she said angrily: "Can a group of children born from expatriate families be able to pass the martial arts examination? Wouldn't it be embarrassing then?"
"Old lady, let's not talk about it. Those children who have been released from the family have a high chance of passing the martial arts exam!"
Lian Er's words made Jia Mu feel very unhappy. She looked over with her old eyes like knives and said coldly: "Tell me, what abilities do they have?"
"Old lady, those children who were released from the family are all the main members of the Ningfu polo team!"
Lian Er was really dumbfounded, and he spoke very clearly.
"so what?"
The old lady was indifferent to the so-called polo players and said coldly: "Is it possible that they can definitely pass the martial arts exam?"
Lian Er reacted. The old lady obviously had no interest in the raging polo league outside. Naturally, she didn't know the identity of the main members of the Ningfu polo team and what they represented.
Thinking of this, he said directly: "Old lady, let me tell you this!"
"The Ningfu Polo Team was the champion of the Polo League last year, and its main members are all star players!"
"The key thing is that their riding skills are superb and they work well together. With a little training, they are the perfect candidates for the army's elite scouts!"
"Old lady, do you think it is safe to participate in martial arts competitions with the strength of elite scouts in the army?"
This has been made very clear, I believe the old lady can understand...
