Six hundred and seventy-eight: Call back to Hankou
Jia Jing sat under the tent and looked at the soldiers outside who were training under the supervision of his own soldiers. Jia Jing had experienced this kind of training many times, so he was already familiar with it.
What's more, with the help of Xue Qiu and others, Jia Jing has even more leisure. These soldiers are all young men he recruited from various provinces. Basically, after a few poems, one by one joined the army with enthusiasm...
In addition, Jia Jing promised a lot of benefits, including military pay that is several times higher than that of other armies, pensions for sacrifices or injuries, and condolences during the holidays. Those who are literate will be given priority, and those who have read can directly do it after training.
officer!
Therefore, Jia Jing actually recruited many people. He even sang a poem: "It is better to be a centurion than a scholar." This directly attracted countless scholars who felt that the imperial examination was hopeless, or who wanted to abandon their pens and join the army.
Come in!
But Jia Jing thinks it’s not enough! I should say it’s far from enough!
These people are not simply preparing for the Japanese army, Jia Jing is preparing to train them as the navy! As an era before the air force has yet appeared, the navy should be the most advanced and precious army in this era!
So no amount is too much! Jia Jing’s standards for them are completely based on the standards of the Yulin Army! Even higher than the Yulin Army!
Because the Yulin Army only needs to fight on land, and although the Japanese army prepared by Jia Jing can only fight on land and along the coast, as long as the Luo Gang's people gain a foothold overseas, they will go over and fight against the Luo Gang.
Help people learn naval warfare techniques!
Jia Jing is going to divide these people into two parts. One part is the pure navy type that uses ship artillery to fight on the sea, and the other part is the marine type, mainly responsible for island landing operations!
Because to completely annihilate the Japanese pirates, we need to not only attack the Japanese mainland to deter them, but also annihilate all the pirate bases lingering on the islands around the Dayan Sea!
The navy may not be suitable for Dayan, because Dayan has no interest in the ocean. Jia Jing knows it in her heart, and she also knows that no matter where Dayan's future development reaches, it should always be based on the army.
But it doesn’t mean that Dayan can’t develop a navy! Yes, and not using it, that’s two different things!
Jia Jing has no interest in plundering resources and plundering the population, because as long as Yan wants it, it can be obtained through peaceful means. As a big country, it is shameful to not have the magnanimity of a big country. If there is good means, there will be more help, but if there is no way, there will be little help. Jia Jing knows it in her heart.
, those who do those dirty things will be nailed to the pillar of shame of history forever! Therefore, they will never be qualified to aspire to the true and long-term kingship!
A strong person is only qualified to be king for a short time, but a strong and kind person is the strong person who can be king forever!
Therefore, Jia Jing is very interested in the navy, but at the same time he is not very interested. He is most interested in maintaining the stability of the sea around Dayan, or being able to escort Dayan's caravan to any corner of the world, and to deter any country in the world.
, when the arrogant clamor of a country gives him a hint of color, his fleet can wake up the king of this country from his sleep with strong ships and cannons the next morning! This is enough.
But when it comes to relying on this fleet to do bloody primitive accumulation... Jia Jing has no interest in this and despises this kind of behavior!
But today, Jia Jing felt that her idea might have stirred up a hornet's nest!
Jia Jing looked at the secret order in her hand over and over again, and after confirming it again and again, she reluctantly confirmed that this was indeed the order issued by Emperor Yongxi!
But precisely because of this, Jia Jing was a little confused...
Isn’t that enough?!
He had already communicated with Emperor Yongxi before that he wanted to form a Japanese army. Emperor Yongxi also agreed, so he boldly recruited troops. But now that he has just reached 60,000 people, he stopped?
Jia Jing rubbed her chin, puzzled! With the situation of Emperor Yongxi, what could 60,000 people do? So Jia Jing even narrowed her eyes and thought, someone couldn't put on my little shoes...
Jia Jing, who had been thinking for a long time but couldn't figure it out, focused on the last sentence of the order to move to Hankou. After thinking for a long time, he waved to Qingfeng and said: "Go get the map!"
Qingfeng nodded, opened a box and hurriedly handed the map to Jia Jing. After unfolding it, Jia Jing lay on it and looked at it carefully for a long time. After thinking hard for a long time with a frown, Jia Jing slowly handed the map to Jia Jing.
My eyes surrendered to one place... Bozhou Xuanwei Division!
Jia Jing stood up slightly and pointed there with her finger: "Is this the territory of the chieftains?" Qingfeng stepped forward and looked at it for a while, then scratched his head in a rare way and said: "Since it is called Xuanweisi, I'm afraid it should be the place where the chieftains gather.
"
Jia Jing glanced at Qingfeng: "Don't you understand the Qiankun Gua?" Qingfeng smiled bitterly. The focus of the Qiankun Gua is now basically in the north or even further north in Liaodong. The south may only be in more important cities like Jinling and Yangzhou.
, Boshu Xuanwei Division... Who knows what kind of place this is?
Dayan is very big, and without the Qiankun Gua supported by the imperial power, it is impossible to put all places under his nose and monitor it!
Therefore, Qingfeng lowered his head slightly ashamed and said: "I'm going to check now." Jia Jing nodded, and then when Qingfeng was about to go out, he bumped into Baoqin who was jumping in and running in. Fortunately, Qingfeng was fast enough.
, quickly dodged away, making Bao Qin think that there was an automatic door in front of him, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Qingfeng nodded slightly and prepared to go out. Baoqin stepped forward and lay on Jia Jing without any care and said, "Hey! What are you doing, brother Jing, today?"
Jia Jing smiled bitterly and stood up straight, pushing her off his back, but Bao Qin, tall and tall, still put her chin on Jia Jing's shoulder and looked at the map in front of Jia Jing with a curious smile.
Jia Jing smiled helplessly and said: "What are you playing for? You have serious business...Baoqin, good boy, go find your brother and see if he curses."
Bao Qin curled her lips, a little dissatisfied with Jia Jing's way of coaxing her like a child, and hit Jia Jing's side of the face with her little head: "I won't go! He seemed to be a different person when he entered the school grounds.
, he almost even called me... bad brother! I will never go there again! Huh!"
Jia Jing bumped Baoqin with her shoulder in a funny way, and Baoqin shook his head dissatisfied. The last time she ran over to play, she didn't know it was the school grounds and ran in to talk to Xue Qiu. As a result, thousands of soldiers in the audience were watching.
She was in a daze......
Xue Qiu cursed angrily, and finally got emotional and scolded Bao Qin, "Go away." This sentence made Bao Qin feel wronged for several days!
Baoqin is open-minded by nature, more like women from the Tang Dynasty and modern times. The Xue family itself is a family of merchants. At this time, the citizens, including the wealthy businessmen, were more open-minded and did not restrict women very much. Some people may say that I mentioned above
It is said that most of the women with bound feet were women from the wealthy business class to criticize my statement, but in fact, at that time, the feet were not bound because of backwardness, but on the contrary, they were bound because they were fashionable...
Foot binding appeared in the Song Dynasty, not because of the so-called feudal ethics, but because it looked good...
At that time, women sought after the three-inch golden lotus as a beauty, so the product of foot binding appeared. However, according to traditional feudal ethics, this kind of mutilation of the body born of parents was criticized!
Therefore, since the Song Dynasty, the imperial court has repeatedly issued orders prohibiting foot binding, but they have not banned it. Even in the last dynasty, they could only strictly prohibit banner women from binding their feet, but they failed to control Han women from not binding their feet.
(But in fact, because they did not allow the banner people to engage in business and agriculture, in the middle and late stages, most of the banner women had to choose to bind their feet due to livelihood constraints)
It was not until later that this behavior was linked to feudal ethics that this bad habit was truly abandoned. However, in fact, foot binding itself has little to do with feudal ethics, just like how people nowadays also undergo face-lift injections and plastic surgery.
, you knew it was not good, and you tried to persuade him, but you just didn’t stop him...
But from this point alone, we can see that even if the imperial court repeatedly issued bans, it could not stop these wealthy businessmen from pursuing fashion. Just like when the Yan Dynasty was founded, Emperor Taizu also issued a ban not allowing wealthy businessmen to wear silk.
Luo silk and satin, but wealthy businessmen only put on a layer of coarse linen when they go out. In fact, when they return home, they are still wearing silk and satin.
After the Taizu Dynasty, Emperor Taizong and others no longer cared much about these things, and no one cared about them. Even now, some of those people wear Feiyu suits and bullfighting suits at home!
Jia Jing knows that in a few decades, these people will even dare to wear Feiyu Suit on the streets, or even play in python robes at home! And it’s not that they have any arrogance, but the Feiyu Sui python robe is really good-looking!
When Jia Jing got the Feiyu suit for the first time, she liked it so much that she wore it almost every day and slept without taking it off! But Jia Jing is legal, and those wealthy businessmen dare to do this, which shows that they are really "open-minded"...
………
Bao Qin, who was born into a wealthy businessman's family, followed his parents around since he was a child. Naturally, he was even more free and unrestrained. He ran into the school for fun. No matter Jia Jing, everyone who knew Bao Qin, or even the soldiers, they didn't think so.
How strange.
So Xue Qiu actually scolded Bao Qin in a hurry because Bao Qin disturbed his military training... How could Bao Qin ever suffer such injustice? It has been almost half a month since he last talked to Xue Qiu...
Jia Jing smiled and stroked Bao Qin's little head: "Your brother regrets it too. He was in a hurry. He tried to apologize to you these days and you ignored him."
Like a kitten, Bao Qin squinted her eyes slightly and enjoyed Jia Jing's "caress" and even purred so comfortably. Hearing this, she said with a smile: "Since Brother Jing said so, then I
Just forgive him reluctantly!"
Jia Jing smiled when he heard this, and then still looked at Bozhou Xuanwei Si in a daze. Baoqin stepped forward and said to Jia Jing: "Brother, where are you looking? Here? Bozhou... It seems to be the chieftain
A place like that?”
When Jia Jing heard this, she looked at Bao Qin and said, "Do you know this place?" Bao Qin thought for a moment with the tip of his index finger in his mouth and then said, "I remember a few years ago, when my father was still in good health, we were together.
I went to Banshu once and found that the wood there was of the highest quality and was very suitable for domestic use, so we purchased there for a while."
Jia Jing became interested when he heard this and said: "How much do you know?" Baoqin frowned and thought hard for a long time before saying: "I have no impression, but I seem to have heard that the chieftain over there has the final say and does business with us.
What is that name... Five Divisions and Seven Surnames? It seems like this. I heard that they are very powerful. My father told me that they can even have their own army and even control everyone under their rule.
He has the power of life and death, and he doesn’t have to pay taxes to the court..."
When he said this, even Baoqin smashed his mouth cutely and looked very envious. After all, he sounded no different from the emperor!
Jia Jing frowned slightly when he heard this, and then slowly leaned over the map, thinking hard about something. When Bao Qin saw this, he was also careful not to disturb Jia Jing's thinking.
At this time, Qingfeng also opened the handsome tent and walked in: "Master Hou, the matter in Bozhou has been investigated clearly." Jia Jing was still lying on the map and said: "Tell me."
Qingfeng lowered his head and said yes, then said: "It is true that something happened in Bozhou recently. I heard that Yang Yinglong, the chieftain of Bozhou, rebelled. The imperial court sent a large army to conquer, and as a result... seven or eight thousand people were lost."
Jia Jing couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard this: "Why do I only know about such a big thing now?" Qingfeng said a little guiltily: "We don't have many informants in the southwest, and a lot of the news is even learned through Jin Yiwei's channels...
...The subordinates are guilty!”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jia Jing suddenly waved her hands and said: "What does it have to do with you? I was the one who said to develop the north first. In places like the southwest, I guess
The imperial court doesn’t have many eyes..."
The Qiankun hexagram is very powerful, but it is not so powerful that it can monitor the world... That requires the support of the imperial power, which Jia Jing cannot provide to the Qiankun hexagram now. Moreover, the Qiankun hexagram has developed so far that it can even do so for Emperor Yongxi.
Even the eyeliners are not aware of the existence of Kun Gua, so you have to give up a lot, so the size of Qiankun Gua is actually very small, and it is not enough to spread all over Dayan!
In this case, Jia Jing must have no choice but to focus on the most important north. There is no need to lay an intelligence network in a place like the southwest, which is a place where birds can't shit.
Jia Jing put her hands on the map and looked at it for a long time before laughing and saying: "So many people died, how did the court deal with it?"
Qingfeng thought for a while and said: "I heard that His Majesty ordered Jia Yucun, the Minister of War, to handle this matter. Jia Yucun has sent someone to ask Wang Shiqi, the prefect of Chongqing, to handle this matter. The court has put forward three conditions, a donation of 40,000 yuan for atonement, and secondly
The son went to Chongqing to serve as a hostage, and the chieftain of Bozhou, Yang Yinglong, was dismissed from all his posts and handed over to his eldest son to inherit, and the person who killed the officers and soldiers was handed over."
Jia Jing looked at the map and thought for a long time, then stood up and tapped on the map and said: "This is a delaying strategy!"
Hearing this, Bao Qin blinked and looked at Jia Jing and said, "How did brother Jing know? I heard...it seems that the court wanted Yang Yinglong to give in to save face."
Jia Jing glanced at Bao Qin with a smile, then turned around and looked at the school grounds outside, put her hands on her hips and said: "Because if it really ends here, it won't be so simple. It's unreasonable for Yang Yinglong himself not to die. Besides...
…”
Jia Jing's eyes narrowed slightly. He understood Emperor Yongxi just like a son understands his father! His temper is definitely not so simple to stop!
Outsiders know that Emperor Yongxi is very good at forbearing, and they might admit that he has suffered a loss! But Jia Jing knows Emperor Yongxi even better. On such a principled issue, unless there are huge interests, Emperor Yongxi will not do it at all.
I won’t bear it for a second!
So even though they were thousands of miles apart, after knowing the situation in the southwest, Jia Jing still understood Emperor Yongxi's intentions tacitly!
Jia Jing licked her lips, as if she could taste the familiar smell of blood!
He said in a deep voice: "Qingfeng!" Qingfeng hurriedly lowered his head in greeting. Jia Jing's mouth curved in a bloodthirsty arc and said coldly to him: "Go and inform everyone that early tomorrow morning, get ready and let's go to Hankou!"
"yes!"
…………
"The imperial court upholds the principle of benevolence and has always been tolerant and caring towards you chieftains. On behalf of the imperial court, I would like to assure you that as long as everything you say is possible and you truly repent sincerely, then Your Majesty,
I will be tolerant and forgive your rashness!"
"I, Yang Yinglong, swear to the court that if I can get your majesty's pardon, I will continue to do my best for the court, for Dayan, and to protect the country and the people as before! I will never do anything wrong again! Please be clear to me!"
Wang Shiqi looked at Yang Yinglong, who had a sincere attitude and a firm expression, and knew in his heart that he just took off his pants and farted, but that was what the imperial court meant. Even if he was disgusted, he could only smile and comfort him: "Don't worry, Chieftain Yang, the imperial court still treats you."
Trust me, Mr. Jia, Minister of the Ministry of War, will personally check and guarantee that as long as you have a positive attitude towards admitting your mistake and can fulfill the conditions set by the court, then the court will definitely forget about it!"
Yang Yinglong nodded gratefully and thanked him, then stroked the head of the boy next to him and said softly: "Ke Dong, go ahead."
The young man showed no fear at all. He nodded after hearing this, then walked forward and stood next to Wang Shiqi. At first glance, he looked like a playboy...
Yang Yinglong cupped his hands and said: "Kudong, please take care of me!" Wang Shiqi smiled and nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang will definitely have good food, drink and live well in Chongqing. After a few years, you can take care of him!"
Once the ransom is paid in full, the son will naturally go home."
Yang Yinglong nodded, and then the two of them exchanged a few words and then went back. Both of them couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief!
This meeting was held next to the Qijiang River. Not far away was Qijiang City. The surging Qijiang River was beside the two of them, as if they were witnessing the end of this meeting where both sides felt that the other was hypocritical but had to be hypocritical!
