The Red Mansions

Shenjing, in the capital camp

  Because Jia Heng had already sent Tiqi to the capital camp to inform them of the news, at this moment the [-]th regiment camp in the capital camp began to move quickly, and the sound of the cavalry's iron hoofs "tapping" could be heard endlessly.

  Song Yuan, the chief of marching, had already led a group of soldiers to come over, bowed to the young man, and said in unison: "I have seen a handsome man in a humble position."

  Jia Heng pressed the sword on his waist, looked around, turned over and dismounted, looked at the generals who came out, stretched out his hand to support him and said: "Generals, please stand up without courtesy."

  Song Yuan, the chief of marching, looked respectful and said: "My lord, the troops and horses in the army have been ordered and are waiting for your dispatch."

  Jia Heng nodded and asked: "Have the provisions and supplies needed for the [-] cavalry troops been fully prepared? This time, almost all the provincial guards in Shandong have rebelled, and they have been planning for a long time and carefully planned. This time, the Beijing camp will be selected as the best. The brave cavalry army strives to wipe out the enemy with one blow and eradicate the root!"

  This time they still used the cavalry to attack thousands of miles and rush to Shandong for reinforcements, which highlighted the speed of the soldiers and the lightning speed.

  The [-] cavalry army is already [-]% of the cavalry force that the Beijing camp can dispatch now. After the Northwest Battle, the Beijing camp is actually still recruiting new soldiers. In addition, it needs to be prepared for possible changes within the capital. Therefore, the [-] cavalry army There is already a lot of troop deployment.

  While speaking, Jia Heng, surrounded by a group of generals, entered the barracks of the Beijing camp. At this moment, the cavalry generals of the [-]th Regiment Battalion had been waiting in the barracks for a while, and all they could see were old faces.

  There are trusted generals such as Cai Quan, Dong Qian, Du Feng, and Xiao Lin. In addition, there are also some young generals of the Jia family, such as Jia Fang, Jia Chang, Jia Ling and other Jia family generals.

  Jia Heng sat down behind a long red-painted desk, his face solemn and solemn, and he said loudly: "Generals, please sit down."

  All the generals and commanders present thanked each other and said nothing else.

  Jia Heng said coldly: "Jining's guards are sweeping towards Shandong, and the entire prefecture and county in Shandong will be affected. The longer the delay, the more chaotic the situation in Shandong will be, so this dispatch of troops is still a quick way to cut through the mess."

  In fact, in the early years of Chen Han's founding, Jining was only a state-level division, but during the Longzhi period, it was upgraded to a prefecture and part of Yanzhou Prefecture was designated.

  In addition to Jining Prefecture, it also includes Jinan Prefecture, Wuding Prefecture, Qingzhou Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture, Yizhou Prefecture, Dongchang Prefecture, Caozhou Prefecture, Dengzhou Prefecture, Laizhou Prefecture and other prefectures.

  Jia Heng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The bandits are mainly the guards of various mansions and some White Lotus sect rebels. They total nearly [-] people. Once they gain momentum, they will be like a spark of fire starting a prairie fire. They collude with North Korean soldiers and horses from the sea. Then As a big Han, we will be attacked from both sides, and Shandong will become a springboard for the Jurchens to invade our Han territory."

  This time Shandong is in chaos, the Jurchens will definitely take follow-up actions. Not to mention sending troops to contain Shanhaiguan, they will probably send troops from North Korea again to land on the Shandong Peninsula.

  The expressions of the generals below changed slightly when they heard this.

  Cai Quan said angrily: "Commander, the Jurchens have suffered two or three defeats in a row, and they still come to brush the tiger's beard."

  At this moment, a Jinyi palace guard wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife hung from his waist strutted into the military tent, clasped his fists and said, "Commander Jie, Marquis Zhongqin is here."

  After the court meeting ended, Emperor Chongping specifically asked Zhongqin Hou Xie Zaiyi to go to the capital camp and wait for Jia Heng to mobilize his troops.

  Xie Zaiyi entered the military tent and stood up. The newly promoted Wuhou of the Han Dynasty had a tall figure and a resolute face. Before he could go to Huguang to organize military affairs, he encountered what was happening now. He raised his hand and said, "Commander."

  With a hint of appreciation in his voice, Jia Heng said, "General Xie came just in time. The garrison of the capital will be led by General Xie with full authority to prevent traitors from taking advantage of the situation and causing chaos in the sacred capital."

  The Twelve Regiments of the Beijing Camp have the responsibility of guarding the Godly Capital City. Of course, the Beijing Camp is not qualified to intervene in the Miyagi City.

  Xie Zaiyi looked surprised and asked: "Commander Jie, will you not go to Shandong in the end?"

  Jia Heng looked solemn and said: "There are a lot of strange things about this Shandong incident. You are sitting in the rear of the capital, and you must be careful to prevent traitors from taking advantage of the situation."

  Xie Zaiyi was startled, trying to figure out the meaning of Jia Heng's words, with a thoughtful look on his face.

  Jia Heng waved his hand and ordered: "Generals, please go down and lead the troops."

  Then, the generals in the military tent responded with a "yes" and then dispersed. The commander of the bodyguards of Jinyi Mansion stood beside the military tent, holding a sword to protect him, with a solemn expression.

  Under Jia Heng's heroic eyebrows, he looked at Xie Zaiyi aggressively and said: "This Shandong incident, I think it is more like a plan by bandits to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and there is a bigger conspiracy hidden behind it."

  But he couldn't detect anything wrong for a while, or in other words, although there was a conspiracy, it was actually a conspiracy.

  Xie Zaiyi's resolute and majestic face couldn't help but show a solemn look, and said: "Commander Jie thinks there will be traitors in Beijing who will secretly plot to cause chaos after Commander Jie leads the troops on the expedition?"

  Jia Heng looked far away and said: "It's just a vague intuition. There is no sign yet. The enemy is hidden and we are clear. We don't know the latest trends of the enemy yet."

  After all, after two generations and decades of hard work and effort, it was impossible to detect the signs of a conspiracy in a short period of time.

  Even emperors often resorted to fishing.

  Xie Zaiyi's eyes were fierce and he clasped his fists and said: "Commander Jie, don't worry, the safety of the capital is in the hands of the general, and Xiao Xiao will never be allowed to cause trouble!"

  Jia Heng said: "I will ask Jinyi Mansion Guards to send people to report the news at all times and be on guard against bad guys causing trouble in the capital."

  He was just trying to save things in advance. Otherwise, both Rong and Ning houses were family members, and anything that happened would be unbearable pain.

  Then, after Xie Zaiyi left, Jia Heng asked the guards of Jinyi Mansion to summon Dong Qian.

  "Commander," Dong Qian looked solemn. At this moment, he had been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the regiment and camp due to his meritorious service in the northwest and water wars. He was wearing the robe of a second-grade military attache, made of black and red satin, with golden silk thread embroidered on it. Various birds of prey.

  Jia Heng said: "Cousin, you will not go out with the army this time. You will lead the troops in the capital to protect Rongning and Ningfus. At the same time, you will pay close attention to the movements of the gangsters in the capital."

  If anything happens in the capital, at least there will be someone who can open the city gate.

  Dong Qian was stunned for a moment, his eyes a little confused, but then he cupped his hands and said firmly: "Brother Heng, don't worry."

  He didn't address Jie Shuai again. Apparently, he noticed some unusual clues from Jia Heng's solemn attitude.

  Jia Heng gently patted Dong Qian on the shoulder and said, "Cousin, go and do your work."

  Dong Qian was shocked and clasped his fists again.

  Then, Jia Heng called the two young generals of the Jia family into the military tent and gave them instructions one by one.

  After the generals left, Jia Heng turned to look at Chen Xiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, are you going to Shandong with me this time, or are you staying in the capital?"

  Chen Xiaoyu's face remained cold and cold, as if she didn't notice Jia Heng's arrangement just now, and said softly: "I'll go to Shandong. This will save you the trouble of not knowing what's going on and being plotted by others after you go to Shandong."

  Jia Heng: "..."

  Looking at the beautiful beauty, he was speechless for a moment, took the beauty's slender hand, and whispered: "Aren't you afraid of being recognized?"

  Chen Xiaoyu looked faint, sighed softly, and said: "You have to face it after all."

  She actually wanted to see the master and ask what was going on.

  Jia Heng said: "I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you. If we go over this time, we won't say that we will completely annihilate the White Lotus Sect, but we will definitely not show mercy when we see each other on the battlefield."

  Chen Xiao said: "It's nothing, but there seems to be traces of Jurchens this time, and Hauge has also arrived in Shandong now."

  Jia Heng's eyes moved slightly and he said in surprise: "Hauge?"

  Under Chen Xiao Liuye's slender eyebrows, there was a hint of coldness in his clear eyes, and he said: "I have just received the news that Hauge is now in Shandong, and Baolinghou died at the hands of Hauge."

  Jia Heng frowned and asked: "Hauge is still alive? Didn't he have a fight with Dorgon?"

  History seems to have gone awry at this moment.

  Chen Xiao shook his head and said: "The Jurchen country is in a difficult situation. When the situation is critical, we may give up internal fighting for the time being and work together to deal with the outside world."

  Jia Heng looked thoughtful and whispered: "Let's go first. I'll go back and talk to Keqing and the others."

  Although the army is a cavalry army, the march of [-] cavalry troops is not a day's work. They still need to prepare simple dry food and related ordnance. Even if the military supplies and supplies are later deployed with infantry, it is getting late today, so we can only temporarily Waiting for tomorrow, it is better to go back to the house now.

  ……

  ……

  And just when Jia Heng was dispatching troops and generals in the capital camp——

  Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall

  Jia Mu sat in the middle of an Arhat bed covered with soft mattresses. On the embroidered pillars on both sides, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang sat down.

  After hearing what Jia Zhengxu said, Jia's mother almost stood blankly on the spot. After a long while, she asked in a clear voice: "Zheng'er, what happened to the Shi family?"

  Baoling Hou Shi Nai was Jia Mu's nephew, and Jia Mu had watched Baoling Hou Shi Nai grow up. Now she suddenly heard that her nephew was dead, and she was inevitably sad.

  At this moment, in addition to Jia Mu, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Xing in the hall also had different expressions on their faces.

  This old man must have known the glory of the Shi family and the two princes. Now he died in a foreign country. It was really a matter of life and death.

  Jia Zheng sighed softly and lamented: "The thieves ambushed Brother Shi and died for his country. The Holy Emperor is also very sorry about this. In the near future, he may ask the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites to agree on a posthumous title to reward his merits."

  Jia Mu sighed, suppressed the sadness in her heart for the time being, and asked in a loud voice: "Where is the title of the Shifu?"

  After all, Mrs. Rongguo was old after all and was used to life and death. After being sad, she still paid more attention to the inheritance of the title. Jia Zhengdao: "Brother Shi's son should be allowed to succeed him."

  Baoling Hou Shi Nai has a son, but he is not in the army at the moment, but is serving as a casual post in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.

  Jia Mu's old face showed sadness, and she sighed: "That can only be like this."

  Mrs. Wang, who was not far away, could not help but show a bit of sadness on her fair-skinned face.

  Such a big prince lost his life just like that. It is true that life is unpredictable and full of misfortunes and blessings.

  Although her Baoyu has no achievements and no title, she is safe and sound at home. This is not a bad thing.

  Uncle Heng, on the other hand, was born and died again and again, and there was no guarantee that he would survive every time.

  Mother Jia's kind-hearted face showed concern, and she asked, "Where is Brother Heng?"

  Jia Zheng said: "Now that I have gone to the capital camp, I should be dispatching troops and generals."

  Xiangyun's red, apple-shaped face showed concern as he said, "Old ancestor, Brother Heng is going to fight again?"

  Brother Heng is really bullying Sister Baoqin like that, and he doesn't even know how dirty it is.

  It can be said that the little chubby girl has been tossing and turning in the past few days, and she has messy dreams at night, as if that scene keeps reappearing in her mind, and then somehow, Baoqin becomes herself again, and then for the first time The next day, when the maid Cuixi was changing the sheets with a red face, she told her not to tell anyone.

  Mother Jia said softly: "Yes, your brother Heng is the minister of military aircraft. There is such a big thing outside, so of course he has to go."

  Tan Chun's heroic and graceful eyebrows were raised, and thoughts appeared in her clear and clean eyes.

  Baochai and Daiyu looked at each other and saw a hint of worry on each other's faces.

  I don’t know if he will come over to say goodbye later or not.

  Sister Feng had a bright smile on her unprovoked young woman's face, and said in a low voice: "Old Ancestor, when did Brother Heng's war ever worry the old lady and us?"

  That heartless guy didn't even know to come and see her after being back for so long.

  In fact, Jia Heng thought that he and Feng Wan had been obsessed with each other for many days in Jinling. During the time he returned to Beijing, he spent more time with Qin Keqing, Third Sister You, Yuanyang and other girls who did not go south with him.

  She also noticed that the atmosphere in Rongqing Hall was a bit gloomy. Mother Jia smiled, softened her tone and said, "Yes, Brother Heng can win any battle no matter how difficult it is, so these don't count. What."

  Jia Zheng's face paused slightly, he hesitated to speak, and said: "Actually, there is another matter. The censor impeached Zi Yu."

  "It's all right, why are these censors impeaching Brother Heng?" Jia Mu's old and fair face looked a little angry, and she asked warmly.

  Baochai and Daiyu were both surprised and inexplicable. They raised their beautiful heads and stared at Jia Zheng, feeling extremely worried.

  Jia Zheng sighed, as if he was a little embarrassed to speak, and his voice couldn't help but weaken a little, and said: "That Miaoyu is the daughter of a prison officer, or a nun from outside the country. I heard that she is pregnant with Brother Heng." My child, this was exposed by the censor in the court, and there was a flood of bullets and bullets in the court, making it quite unusual."

  Mother Jia: "..."

  Is the nun pregnant? This is really... too ridiculous.

  Then, he stared at Sister Feng aside, her face full of surprise, and said warmly: "Why didn't I know?"

  Sister Feng smiled and said: "Old lady, there is such a thing, but that Miaoyu is not a monk, she is just practicing with her hair. The old lady has seen her before, but she has not been tonsured, so she is not a monk."

  "But Miaoyu is practicing with her hair and is also a half-disciple of Buddhism. How come she is still pregnant with Brother Heng..." Mother Jia really couldn't go on, she just felt that it was really outrageous.

  Is this really what the men of the Jia family are like? She had seen that Miaoyu before. The raw color was better, especially the cold and aloof bookish air lingering between her eyebrows. Maybe a man would like it better?
  Daiyu sat down beside her, her bright starry eyes flickered under her beautiful brows that seemed to be curled up, and she glanced at Baochai intently.

  Under Baochai's curved green-feathered eyebrows, her moist apricot eyes are as full as water, and they seem to be moistened with strands of bright meaning.

  Sister Feng smiled and said: "Old lady, Brother Heng has been fighting outside all year round, so it is inevitable that he has a... romantic temperament."

  She used to think that he was a gentleman. Who knew that those annoying tricks between the bed curtains could be performed by normal people?
  Others quietly coaxed Sister-in-law Zhu, who had been widowed for many years, into bed and tossed her like that.

  Thinking of this, Sister Feng couldn't help but glance at Li Wan, who was sitting under Mrs. Wang as if nothing happened.

  At this moment, there was a hint of worry on the elegant and graceful face of the young woman Hua Xin, and she clenched the blue embroidered handkerchief a little tighter.

  Sure enough, what are you worried about now? Do you really think Brother Heng is your own man?

  She usually looks dignified and beautiful, but who knew she had such a slutty side secretly?
  Li Wan was really worried at the moment, her beautiful face was full of worry that was not inferior to Chai Dai's.

  Jia Mu waved her hand and said in a low voice: "Okay, let's not talk about these anymore. Let Ke Qing take care of her."

  As he said that, he couldn't help but glance at Chai Dai and said, "Girl Bao and Yatou Lin have passed the door. Please urge him more."

  Baochai and Daiyu were talking. When they heard the words, their faces were either shiny and white, or their ice-skinned and jade-skinned faces turned red with shame. It was obvious that they were being teased by Jia Mu, and they were both a little shy.

  Sister Feng smiled and said, "What can't be done about these two little girls? I guess it's up to the princess and princess in the palace to take care of them."

  She couldn't control it, she and Ping'er were bullied by him.

  ……

  ……

  At this moment, in Ningguo Mansion, in the hall of the back house, the clothes are bright, the jewels are shining, and the light is overflowing.

  Qin Keqing, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You were sitting on pearwood chairs in the hall, discussing matters, and Mrs. You was accompanying them.

  But Youshi kept peeking at the gentle and quiet-looking Second Sister You.

  Ever since Jia Heng and Second Sister You became a couple, before Jia Heng could come to the door, Second Sister You had already pulled up her hair into a woman's bun, revealing her smooth and jade-like forehead, and her charming and rosy cheeks. Ruxia, when she saw Jia Heng coming over, there was another layer of joy between her brows and eyes, making her look a little more delicate and pretty than before.

  Qin Keqing frowned and said softly: "The palace asked me to come over. Did you tell me what the matter was?"

  Third Sister You had a charming face, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with mist. She said softly: "I heard from the boy in front that there seems to be a rebellion in Shandong."

  Youshi's elegant and graceful face showed a look of contemplation, and her beady voice said with a touch of concern: "This is going to be a war again."

  Qin Keqing said softly: "It happens every once in a while."

  Third Sister You said: "Every once in a while, the uncle's title will also be upgraded."

  Qin Keqing sighed and said: "Instead of this, it would be better that the title was not promoted. It was in Liutiao Hutong."

  At this moment, the nanny outside said: "Uncle is back."

  After Jia Heng finished mobilizing his troops, he didn't stay long and prepared to go home and say goodbye to his family.

  At this moment, Qin Keqing came out of the hall, stood under the eaves of the corridor, looked at the young man in the python suit, with a trace of shame on his graceful and plump face, and said: "Husband."

  Jia Heng looked a little guilty and said warmly: "Come here to see you."

  Before leaving, he felt vaguely uneasy and needed to make some arrangements for his family.

  Third Sister You caught the solemn look between the young man's brows, stepped forward, gently took Jia Heng's hand, and in a soft and charming voice, called out: "Uncle."

  Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he looked at the plump or gorgeous smiles and said, "Let's talk in the room."

  After saying that, he came to the room and sat down. The servant offered him some fragrant tea, and then slowly retreated.

  Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "This time I went to Shandong to quell the chaos. The chaos was easy to calm down. But since you are in Beijing, I am a little worried about you. I asked my cousin and the people in Jinyi Mansion to pay special attention to prevent anything from happening at home. It’s good to be in trouble.”

  Qin Keqing's face paused slightly, her beautiful eyes full of reluctance, but she still said: "Husband, go, everything is fine at home."

  She was already used to it, and now she still has her daughter with her.

  Jia Heng held Qin Keqing's slender hair and said, "Keqing, it won't be long before I'm back. Second sister, third sister, and sister-in-law You, please take good care of Keqing and Fu'er."

  At this moment, Third Sister You asked with concern: "Uncle, will the war in Shandong be more dangerous this time?"

  Why did the uncle give her the feeling that he had to explain the funeral arrangements? Well, she couldn't say that, it would be too unlucky.

  Jia Heng said with relief: "Actually, it's okay, it's not too dangerous."

  ……
