Chapter 809 The ministers and others congratulate the sage, congratulate the great man!
Ningguo Mansion
In the afternoon, the sky is clear and the sun shines brightly in the courtyard. The evergreen pines and cypresses sway with the wind, making the greenery eye-catching.
Following Jia Heng's socializing with a group of Jiangnan officials, Yuan Chun has led Tan Chun, Xiang Yun, Zhen Lan, and Zhen Xi back to Ningguo Mansion, and Chai Dai and Bao Qin on the other side have also returned to the mansion.
Just after lunch, the Yingyingyanyans who were sitting in the hall talking were laughing and laughing.
Qingxue Lanxi, Wenqi Yuantan, and Chai Daiyunqin sit in the hall, narrating narrating, and playing chess.
Xiang Yun smiled and said: "When brother Heng comes back, let him tell us about the battle."
"Sister Yun is still thinking about the war." Baochai said with a chuckle, and there was amusement in her moist almond eyes.
Xiang Yun said softly: "I haven't seen a war since I grew up. I usually read Brother Heng's Three Kingdoms script, but I have seen a lot. I don't know if it is different from those."
The two sisters Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi were also talking in a low voice.
At this moment, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue also found an excuse to come over, they were talking with little loli Shui Xin, and Youshi was by the side.
Shui Xin said in a waxy voice: "Auntie, mother, it's time for godfather to come back?"
"I'll be back in a while." Zhen Xue put her arms around Shui Xin, a beautiful and peaceful smile floated on her white and jade face.
At this moment, a nanny who usually served Daiyu said happily, "Miss Lin, Master Heng is back."
When everyone in the hall heard the words, they had different emotions, but they all got up and walked towards the threshold, only to see a young man in a python suit coming along the corridor.
"Brother Heng." Xiangyun was young and innocent, and he called out with a chuckle, and rushed towards Jia Heng.
"Godfather." Shui Xin looked around in Zhen Xue's arms, saw that man, quickly broke free from her mother's arms, and ran towards Jia Heng.
Jia Heng looked at the two of them, or at the Yingyingyanyan who had left the front hall at this moment and stood under the eaves, his expression was a little dazed for a while.
Eight words can't help but spring up in my heart: "Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, competing for beauty."
"Godfather, are you back?" Shui Xin ran over and shouted crisply.
"Hey." Jia Heng approached and hugged Shui Xin, let little loli hug her neck, kissed her cheeks, turned to look at Xiang Yun who was holding her arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Yun, you two, don't be rash." If you lose it, you will fall again."
At this moment, the super-grade boa robe on her body has not been taken off in time, and the sword is still hanging on her waist, which is very heroic, but holding the pink and jade-carved little Lolita in one hand, in the eyes of everyone. His majestic and serious temperament is undoubtedly much less.
Under Baochai's crescent eyebrows, her moist almond eyes were almost fixed on looking at the young man, and she felt that the faint smile on the resolute and clear face seemed to contain an intoxicating charm.
Under Daodao's staring eyes, Jia Heng carried Shui Xin into the hall, and asked Shui Xin, "Xin Xin is getting heavier and taller, and I can't even hold her."
"No way." Shui Xin smiled crescent-shaped eyes, put her arms around Jia Heng's neck, her pink face was full of smiles.
Zhen Xue watched the scene quietly, and felt that the smile on her mouth was rising uncontrollably, and the beautiful eyes under the willow-leaf eyebrows were as bright as water, and she was a little absent-minded for a while.
She also has some thoughts...
Well, I'm not feeling cranky at this time.Quickly dispelled a trace of distracting thoughts from my mind.
Zhen Qing's clear and narrow phoenix eyes smiled slightly, her cold and charming face, her white and snowy cheeks flushed into a glow, her voice was soft and charming, and she said: "Brother Heng, my second uncle Are you back with fourth uncle?"
Because of Zhen Xi's relationship, and the fact that Zhen Shao and Zhen Zhu followed Jia Heng to Haimen to fight against the captives, although everyone felt that the two seemed a little close, they didn't doubt it.
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing with calm eyes, at least outsiders couldn't see any clues, and said, "I've already returned."
Saying that, she sat down with Shui Xin in her arms, looked at Princess Chu Zhen Qing, and said in a concentrated voice: "The two Zhen Shibos took the lead this time, fighting bravely to be the first, and gained a lot."
Zhen Qing was slightly happy when she heard the words, and said with emotion: "Brother Heng, this battle is really not easy. Many people in the city have paid attention to it these past few days, and the people in the house are worried. Today is finally a victory."
Tanchun's beautiful and jade-like face smiled lightly, looked at Jia Heng with radiant eyes, and said, "Brother Heng, there are all kinds of rumors in Jinling City these days, and I heard that there are still many impeachment memorials delivered to Beijing." inside."
Jia Heng smiled, and said softly: "The Southern Kingdom has experienced wars for a long time, and it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate when there is a war for the first time."
Yuan Chun looked at the young man who was talking eloquently in front of a group of sisters, his beautiful eyes were as soft as water, and the pride and sweetness in his heart seemed to fill the girl's body and mind.
This is the lover she is looking for.
Compared with the curious inquiries of all the girls, the girl who is over the age of double ten and handsome looks at the boy with a smile on her face.
Baochai raised her eyes to look at the young man, her apricot eyes protruded with strong thoughts, she was almost on the verge of talking.
There is always an end, when she asked him.
Dai Yu stared at Jia Heng with starry eyes, pinching the handkerchief, her jade face was full of curiosity.
Zhen Lan asked: "Brother Heng, my little sister has not yet figured out how the officers and soldiers repelled the army led by Duoduo."
The girl's voice was round and smooth, her face was sculpted, and her face was thinly applied with makeup. At this moment, her bright eyes were fixed on Jia Heng.
Zhen Qing frowned, her clear phoenix eyes glanced lightly at Zhen Lan, and said in a low voice, "Third Sister."
Zhen Lan said angrily, "I'm just curious."
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing, smiled, signaled that it was okay, and explained: "The captives came from a long distance. Although they are numerous and powerful, they belong to multiple groups, and their strength is difficult to unite. Moreover, the Jurchen is not fifty thousand, it should be three. Ten thousand, the core force is the Korean navy, with only ten thousand people, it is not surprising that our army has the advantages of terrain and armor, and it is not surprising to defeat the enemy."
Zhen Lan listened, her eyes sparkling, and said: "Terrain, the strength of armor?"
Jia Heng smiled, not wanting to talk deeply, and said: "This can't be explained clearly in a few words."
Zhen Lan wanted to ask again, but she felt her sleeves being pulled by Zhen Xi who was beside her. Immediately, she met a pair of aura-like eyes.
"Sister, it can't be said that military secrets are involved. Sister, stop asking the bottom line." Zhen Xi said softly.
Jia Heng looked approvingly, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xi'er is very understanding."
You can’t just raise fish without baiting.
One sentence made Zhenxi's cheeks blush, she quickly lowered her head, lowered her eyebrows, twisted her handkerchief with her hands, the cheeks of Xiafei, a young girl with a young face, were like a little daughter-in-law who dared not see anyone.
But everyone knew that this was Jia Heng's concubine's room. Seeing the shy and timid scene of the girl, they laughed secretly.
Zhen Lan pursed her pink lips, stared at the young man, pinched the handkerchief, thinking inexplicably.
What does it mean?Sister Xi'er is considerate, isn't she reasonable enough?
Jia Heng said: "Some things are indeed confidential, let's talk about them later."
Regarding the power and tactics of the Red Barbarian Cannon, it is hard to say much now, at least there will be some unexpected effects in the battle against the Jurchen in the future.
It's not that Jurchen doesn't know the Hongyi cannon, but even if there are some misjudgments in the specific power parameters, it will be an advantage for the big man.
Baoqin said softly: "Brother Heng captured the Jurchen Prince Duoduo alive? Is Duduo so brave?"
Xiangyun asked: "Brother Heng, didn't Duoduo escape from you once before?"
"This time on Chongming Sand, even if you want to run, you can't run anywhere else." Jia Heng said in a clear voice.
If you count the assassination in Huanhualou, it should be two times, but now Duoduo was finally caught.
When everyone heard the words, they looked thoughtful.
Jia Heng said softly: "Prince Jurchen came here to mess with Jiangnan, but now he has smashed Jiangnan."
Xiang Yun's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said softly, "Brother Heng won't be too busy in the future."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the boy with curiosity.
Jia Heng said softly: "Recently, I have been free, and I happened to be taking Sister Yun around the south of the Yangtze River."
Hearing this, Xiang Yun's ruddy apple face was full of joy, and he said, "Brother Heng must keep his word."
It caused a few people to laugh lightly.
Jia Heng nodded, smiled and said, "I just have time these few days,"
Talking casually with the girls, Jia Heng looked at Daiyu who was smiling at her, and said, "When I was in Yangzhou, I saw Uncle Lin and said that I would ask Sister Lin to spend more time in Jinling City."
Daiyu heard the words, and said softly: "It's good not to delay Brother Heng's business."
At this moment, Baochai listened quietly, raised her eyes to look at the young man with warm eyes, her thoughts were a little complicated, wouldn't Big Brother Heng talk to her now?
When Jia Heng came back from Guangdong to Jinling, he did not look for Baochai to talk.
Jia Heng stared at Baochai with some inexplicable meaning in his eyes, and said, "Sister Xue, Sister Baoqin has just arrived in Jinling, so you usually spend more time with her."
When Baochai heard this, the loss hidden deep in her heart completely disappeared, and said with a light smile: "Brother Heng, Baoqin grew up in Jinling, and she is more familiar with every plant and tree in Jinling than I am."
Jia Heng nodded, and said: "Wait for these two days to be free and let Sister Baoqin be your guide."
Well, this is more mentally exhausting than fighting Duoduo for five rounds. You have to talk to Daiyu, and you have to take Baochai's feelings into account, and you can't neglect other people.
It was Yuan Chun who saw the tired look on Jia Heng's face, and said softly: "Brother Heng, you just came back, go take a shower and change clothes first, the journey is full of dust."
After Yuan Chun finished speaking, Zhen Qing came to her senses, smiled and said, "Brother Heng, don't just talk too much, go back and take a bath, and take a good rest."
With concern on her face, Daiyu said softly: "Brother Heng is quite tired, let's go back and rest first."
Jia Heng nodded, put Shui Xin down, looked at Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue, and said, "Then I'll go there first."
Saying that, under the eyes of everyone, she got up and left the hall in the backyard. At this time, Qingwen was waiting under the eaves of the corridor, staring at the face that she thought about day and night.
"Son."
The girl was dressed in a light green dress, her body was slender, her color became more and more beautiful, and the charm of the buds blooming in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes overflowed silently.
Jia Heng approached, rubbed the air bangs on the girl's forehead with a smile, and asked, "Well, what's the matter?"
Qingwen pouted, and said softly: "It's nothing, Yingying Yanyan, who was in the whole room just now, asked the young master in a hurry, and I couldn't get in."
Jia Heng looked at the beautiful young girl, smiled and said: "Well, let's go, wait for me to take a shower and change clothes."
In fact, he and Qingwen get along quite a lot, because they always have to take a bath every other day.
Sometimes the ones who don't write and ink are the most. Who will write what they eat in the morning, noon, and night every day?
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Keqing in Beijing.
When Qingwen heard this, a smile appeared on her pretty face again, she hummed softly, and followed Jia Heng to the wing.
No matter how many people are around the young master, she is the only one who helps him take a bath.
Jia Heng followed Qingwen to the wing room. After taking a bath, she immediately changed into autumn clothes and came back to the living room.
On the other side, everyone in the hall was happily discussing the war.
Zhen Qing looked at the young man in casual clothes who was not far away, his heroism was undiminished, and there was a touch of hotness in his watery eyes.
At this moment, Daiyu also stopped talking, and she and Baochai also looked at the young man in the blue shirt with joy in his eyes.
Jia Heng said softly: "Tell me something about the two uncles and the two concubines."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhen Xi like last time and said, "Sister Xi'er also come over to listen."
Zhen Xi's cheeks were hot, Yingying stood up, and said in a weak voice: "Brother Heng."
Even if his brain breaks through the sky, he will not think that the two princesses and a girl from the Zhen family will have a charming affair in the study, and the last time I talked about the Zhen family, Zhen Shao and Zhen Zhu went to Tongzhou Wei The Jiangnan camp in Hong Kong went to meet the enemy captives.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, it is even more convincing that what is being discussed is the serious business of the Zhenjia family.
In the study, entering the inner room, Zhen Qing said softly, "Zi Yu, it's been hard work going out to fight this time."
While talking, he took Jia Heng's hand, looked at it carefully, and asked: "Did you get hurt this time?"
"No injury." Jia Heng said, and pulled Zhen Qing's slender hand that was untying her belt, the touch was soft and soft, and said: "Don't make trouble, Xi'er is still there."
He didn't know why Zhen Qing's addiction to the boss was so big. This was obviously not the self-positioning of the mistress, but the kind of person who regarded him as her own man and needed to pay regular rations.
Zhen Xi's slap-sized face was flushed, as red as a cloud, her bright eyes were filled with embarrassment, and she said in a soft voice: "Brother Heng, you guys talk first, I'm standing at the door watching the wind."
Saying that, he turned around and fled out of the wing room, came to the outer hall, and really went to help watch the wind.
Jia Heng took Zhen Qing's hand, came to the bed, sat down, and let Zhen Qing be busy.
Zhen Qing's cheeks were bright as fire, her cheeks sometimes swelled and sometimes sunken, and under the slender eyebrows of willow leaves, her long and narrow eyes were charming, and she said in an indistinct voice: "Zi Yu, I won't be able to come here in a few days."
Jia Heng gently brushed a strand of hair beside Zhen Qing's ear, then suddenly raised her eyes to look at Zhen Xue who was either walking or staying where she was, and said softly, "Come here, Xueer."
Zhen Xue's delicate body trembled slightly, but her feet seemed uncontrollable, she walked up to her and said, "Zi Yu."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to hug Zhen Xue into his arms, looked at Zhen Qing who was hanging her head down, and said, "I'm talking to Xue'er."
Zhen Qing: "???"
No, she is co-authoring a wedding dress for her sister?
Jia Heng said: "Last time I came back to fight in a hurry, I just cared about messing with you, and didn't talk to Xue'er much, you don't have to worry about us, you are busy with you."
Zhen Qing: "..."
This bastard!
Zhen Xue heard the words, Wanli's jade face climbed into a blush, her heart was sweet, her eyes reflected Jia Heng's outline, and said: "Zi Yu, you just came back from the battlefield, so don't overwork yourself."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Xue'er is right, then go watch the wind."
Zhen Xue: "..."
What does she mean?Why is this person so unreasonable?
Suddenly, he turned his eyes and saw his sister who had a smile on her face, and realized that she was making fun of herself. She beat Jia Heng's chest with a powder fist, and said angrily, "You can play tricks on people."
Jia Heng hugged Zhen Xue and whispered in Li Ren's ear, "Xue'er, I miss you."
Just one sentence made Zhen Xue's delicate body soften half, Wen Ning's brows like water raised her eyebrows and stared at Jia Heng, and said, "Zi Yu, uh~"
Accompanied by the warm breath, Zhen Xue's eyelashes trembled, and she gently closed her beautiful eyes, letting the young man be thin.
Jia Heng piled up a beautiful snowman, and said in a low voice: "This trip to the south is finally ready, let's go back to Beijing, hiss..."
Except for the last few things, he can almost return to Beijing as a teacher, but before that, he still has to meet Li Shouzhong, the former Imperial College Jijiu. A few days.
If you recover, you can go to the household department. The Nanjing household department is still short of people. As for the two servants of the military department, most of them have to transfer people from Beijing.
"Hmm." Zhen Xueyu said, her face flushed, her voice trembling slightly.
After a long time, Jia Heng hugged the rosy and soft Zhen Xue, and said in a low voice: "Xue'er, pack up, I'll talk to your sister."
Zhen Qing wrapped her arms around Jia Heng's waist, the millstone sank down, her brows frowned, and she let out a grunt from her nostrils, she asked in surprise, "Zi Yu, how did Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle behave in this battle?"
"The achievements made this time are not enough to make the emperor show mercy to Zhen's family. You should have expected it." Jia Heng looked into Zhen Qing's eyes, gently stroking Zhen Qing's face, the rough skin It's getting better.
Zhen Qing was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, I know, it's just that when the hair falls down in the future, it can be lighter."
If he were replaced by the Zhen family, the credit would be about the same now.
Jia Heng sighed and said, "There is no other way."
Playing around with Zhen Xue and Zhen Qing, it was almost evening, and there was another autumn rain outside the window at some point, wrapped in a cool chill, blowing the window and making a few rustling sounds, suddenly , it is already November of the 15th year of Chongming.
Jia Heng left the study refreshed, and went back to the wing to take a bath, wash away the dust, thought for a while, and didn't go looking for Baochai for a while.
Firstly, after tossing with Qingxue, she didn't have much thought to use her tongue, and secondly, Daiyu was probably paying attention to his movements.
Could it be that when he went to Baochai to eat the golden lock, Daiyu also went to Baochai's house and said, "It's not a coincidence that I came here?"
Today, as Yuan Chun said, he should take a rest for a day.
……
……
Shenjing, Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall
It has been five or six days since Emperor Chongping last received sweet potatoes. Some time ago, the high yield of sweet potatoes caused heated discussions in Beijing. Today, Emperor Chongping specially convened a court meeting to discuss the promotion of sweet potatoes in the arid northern provinces. .
The cabinet, the six ministries, the nine ministers, the six divisions, and the chief censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate all listened to the hadith in the empty and solemn hall.
This time, Qin Ye, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out to play and said loudly: "My lord, according to what Yongningbo said, sweet potatoes need crop rotation for several years to restore soil fertility, so they have been abandoned in Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan these years." Sweet potatoes are planted on the land, and at the same time planted on some barren lands, sweet potatoes are supplemented as the staple food of the people to alleviate the famine, and the Ministry of Industry will send field chiefs to Shandong, Hebei and other places to preside over composting and retting. "
Eating too much sweet potato will cause flatulence, and coarse grains cannot be used as staple food for a long time, but it is better than eating bark and Guanyin soil in a famine year.
Jia Heng also provided the father-in-law with ideas about agronomy. In the parallel time and space of Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi had already written the "Complete Book of Agricultural Politics".
Emperor Chongping pondered and said: "The cabinet has issued a document for the chief ministers of Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong to encourage local governments to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes to overcome the drought."
Then, he turned his eyes to Yang Guochang and said: "The Ministry of Households will also change the tax collection in kind in a timely manner. In the northern provinces, people are allowed to use sweet potatoes and other goods to pay the government. At the same time, according to the famine, tax exemption should be exempted as appropriate."
The current tax system of Chen Han is still the two-tax law, which is divided into two taxes in summer and autumn.
In some provinces in the north where there is no harvest, sweet potatoes are harvested in kind to alleviate the famine.
Yang Guochang bowed his hand and should be.
After discussing the matter of encouraging the cultivation of sweet potatoes, Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, looked at Shi Jie, and asked, "Military Aircraft Department, is there any military report from Jinling recently?"
As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers all looked at the entire staff of the Military Aircraft Department, with different thoughts.
Shi Jie, Minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Return to the Holy Lord, the six-hundred-mile express delivery has not yet been delivered to the capital, the Zhejiang capital Dinghaiwei, Ningbowei and other naval forces have been defeated, and Yongningbo has already sent troops to suppress."
As he spoke, he hesitated for a while, and added: "Your Majesty, the Zhen family sent a memorial to invite the battle the day before yesterday, and they have gone to Haimen with Uncle Yongning to meet the enemy."
Emperor Chongping's face was indifferent, and he said lightly: "I already know about this matter, and the loyalty of the Zhen family is commendable."
At this time, the officials below changed their usual silence about the Jiangnan war today, because as time passed, everyone can also see that Emperor Chongping trusted the young nobleman so much that he couldn't move it with words.
And before Yongningbo went on a business trip, it would be best not to openly sing a different tune.
Now that the battle is raging, it's time to watch the jokes of this pair of princes and ministers.
If you lose the battle... there will be a good show to watch.
But not all the officials were willing to remain silent. Zhou Ping, the head of Zhejiang Province and the censor, held a wat board and went out of the shift and said: "Your Majesty, Yongningbo sent troops this time too rashly. The situation is dangerous, and I thought that the Holy Majesty had made a plan early on."
Emperor Chongping's face changed suddenly when he heard the words, and he said in a low voice: "I vaguely remember that the officials of the six departments in Nanjing were still saying that Yongning Bo had a large army and sat and watched the enemy invade the country. Soldiers meet the enemy, and it becomes a reckless dispatch of troops, why do your words contradict each other?"
During this period of time, in fact, it was mainly the Nanjing officials who were avoiding the impeachment of Jia Heng in Shangshu, and the officials of the Six Ministries of Beijing Central Committee and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, except for the last impeachment, seldom agreed, and most of them chose to wait and see what happened.
Zhou Ping cupped his hands and said: "Nanjing officials are afraid that soldiers will come to the city, so they are urging troops to attack. Officials in Beijing don't know what to do, so they go in and agree with each other. Uncle Yongning can't check, he is moved by their words."
Some of the older officials present all looked at the censor who held his neck to defend, and sneered in their hearts. Another one wanted to invite him directly, but it was a pity that the emperor favored Yongning Bo and would not listen to such harsh words.
Emperor Chongping's face was as iron as steel, and he remained silent.
At this time, Beijing Wang Shui Rong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Since Yongning Bo has chosen to send troops to meet the enemy, he should have a comprehensive plan, how can he judge the military plan arbitrarily because of the noise?"
At this time, Yan Ye, the king of Nan'an County, held an ivory wat board and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if Yongningbo is defeated and the troops from all provinces come to help, the old capital of Jinling will be safe and sound."
Emperor Chongping: "..."
Yan Ye cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I request that the troops of the Beijing camp go south."
As Jia Heng left Shenjing and went south to oversee the army, the king of Nan'an County had already begun to try to intervene in the Jingying, but because of Emperor Chongping's trust in Jia Heng, he didn't know where to start for a while. Unfavorable, the king of Nan'an County undoubtedly got a chance.
Emperor Chongping's face was indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "The outcome of a war is very predictable, Yan Qing must be conclusive, right?"
Nan'an County King Yan Ye raised his head, and said righteously: "My lord, my minister went south just in case. Jinling is the old capital of our Han Dynasty. The world is paying attention, and the safety of the country cannot be ignored."
Seeing Nan'an County King's repeated invitations, Emperor Chongping's expression was worried and he was silent for a while.
If the king of Nan'an County went south, he would actually make it clear to the world that he would not trust Yongningbo's ability to lead troops.
But after a few days, there was no news from Jiangnan, and the quietness made people feel flustered.
Not only the imperial palace, but the entire capital of the Great Han Dynasty is discussing the war in the south of the Yangtze River, and the streets and alleys are discussing this matter.
At this moment, civil servants such as Yang Guochang, Han Huang, Zhao Mo and others kept silent, watching Wu Xun's infighting at the Military Aircraft Department.
When the atmosphere was at a stalemate, an inner eunuch in a red robe hurriedly ran up the hall, out of breath, and said, "My lord, this is Yongningbo's secrets and battle reports."
Because Emperor Chongping was particularly worried about the war in the south of the Yangtze River these days, he asked Dai Quan to assign a few internal guards to the Secretary of General Affairs, the Military Aircraft Office on duty, Jinyi Mansion and other places where Jia Heng might send someone to deliver the memorial. They must be the first Time to learn about Jia Heng's military report.
Emperor Chongping's face was slightly surprised, and then he was overjoyed, and ordered Dai Quan: "Bring the memorial and the military report."
When the officials in the palace heard the words, their hearts moved slightly, and they secretly thought, military newspaper?Is it a failure?Otherwise, how could it be so fast?
Which battle of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the past was not delayed for a month?
Dai Quan took the memorandum, bowed and walked quickly, handing it over with both hands.
Emperor Chongping received the memorial and read it intently. As time passed, the emperor's hand holding the military newspaper was trembling slightly.
"It's a service. Prince Doduo was captured alive. The Korean navy surrendered countless people. The pirates were terrified and captured countless people."
The fewer words, the bigger the matter.
All the ministers in the palace were secretly watching the emperor's expression. Seeing this scene, they frowned tightly, feeling uncertain in their hearts.
what's the situation?
Is it a big defeat?The emperor was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.
This won't be like fainting when Kaifeng fell, will it?
Thinking of this, Nan'an County King Yan Ye's heart skipped a beat, ready to rush over at any moment when the Son of Heaven's complexion was not right.
When Kaifeng fell, he was checking the frontier in the northwest. That day was the wedding day of his daughter Yiliu, but when Kaifeng fell, the wedding day was thrown into chaos.
And Yang Guochang's heart jumped, while Han Huang condensed, quickly assessing the impact of this matter in his heart.
If Yongningbo is defeated, will the Qi Party make a comeback?
However, only a moment later, Emperor Chongping couldn't restrain the smile on his face, and said with a hearty laugh in his voice, "Masters, Yongningbo led the troops to wipe out the more than [-] pirates led by Jurchen Prince Duoduo, and captured them alive. The Jurchen White Banner, Prince Dodo, has achieved a great victory!"
Since the fall of Liaodong, how could Jurchen have such a big defeat?A prince was also captured, which was the biggest victory in the war against captives in decades.
As if a huge boulder had been smashed into the lifeless Hanyuan Hall, the originally quiet and slightly weird group of officials felt a turmoil in their hearts.
The officials were stunned, and they didn't react for a while.
Even some courtiers would have imagined a big victory, but it didn't happen so suddenly. How should I put it, I thought it would take at least a month, or maybe it would be another bad battle. The Japanese plague in Ming Dynasty was common and protracted.
But now...the Jurchen princes have all been captured alive?
Nan'an County King Yan Ye's complexion changed suddenly, he felt a basin of cold water poured down his head, the wat board he was holding was almost trembling slightly, and his eyes narrowed.
Then Jia Heng actually won?
Yang Guochang's old face was pale, and there was a touch of surprise in his cloudy eyes.
And Han Huang frowned, this... another victory?
Not to mention the complete annihilation of the captives, but also the capture of Duduo, the Jurchen prince?
It can be said that the political situation in Beijing and China these days is very strange, because anyone with insight knows that the appearance of sweet potatoes has made the prestige of Yongningbo, a military hero, steadily rising among the people and scholars.
As for being red and purple in front of the emperor, it is proof that Pang Shilang, the Minister of Rites, was given a cart of sweet potatoes by the emperor. This time he sent a cart of sweet potatoes, will he send a prison cart next time?
Therefore, whether it is the Qi Party or the Zhejiang Party, under the fear of the relevant civil servants, there is no shouting and killing at the beginning, which has caused a chilling effect to some extent.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty clearly would not object, but they would still slander in their hearts. Some officials with dark thoughts stared at this war with malicious eyes, vaguely looking forward to it.
It's not that the Jurchens are so powerful that they landed in the south of the Yangtze River, but that the young man must lose once, even if he loses a lot, with soldiers from all provinces, Jinling can't be lost.
Until then, the crowd is raging.
but now……
Shi Jie took a deep breath, calmed down his agitated mood, and asked first, "My lord, did Yongning Bo win the battle in Jiangnan?"
When the officials in the palace heard the words, they all looked up at Emperor Chongping for a while, waiting for confirmation again.
Emperor Chongping, who was usually unsmiling, could hardly hide the smile on his cold and hard face, and said, "Dai Quan, show the general newspapers to all the ministers."
At this moment, the worry on Dai Quan's face gradually dissipated, and the smile on his fair face could not be concealed. He took the military report and circulated it to the officials below.
The cabinet and the Military Aircraft Office checked first, and saw that the military newspaper records were detailed, from dispatching troops to engaging with the enemy, to the final summary of the results of the battle.
Up to this moment, Yang Guochang only felt that his eyes were dark, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, his eyes were absent, his expression was blank, and his face was ashen. He didn't know how to deliver the general report to Han Huang who was beside him.
It was like Feng Biao's expression when facing Liu Huaqiang, fight me Liu Huaqiang, do you have the strength?
Losing one's soul is like mourning a concubine.
While Han Huang and Zhao Mo looked at the words on it, their complexions changed for a while, their eyes were fixed, and they settled down, and delivered the general's report to several important officials of the Military Aircraft Department at the side.
Han Huang's eyes were a little dark, thinking about the impact of this matter on the court.
The king of Nan'an held the military newspaper, the corner of his mouth twitched, his eyes were gloomy.
Wang Shuirong of Beijing was holding the military newspaper, his young and handsome face was full of emotion, and said: "General Jia Ziyu is unparalleled, he is the backbone of the country, the mainstay."
It's really unconvincing. From the beginning when the army was organized in the Beijing camp, facing the complicated personnel affairs in the Beijing camp, to the present, there is nothing Jia Ziyu can't do.
Jia Zheng also read the military newspaper, his beard trembled slightly with excitement on his elegant face.
Ziyu won another big victory!
However, Emperor Chongping took Jia Heng's secret book and carefully read it. Above the memorial book, he mainly narrated the benefits of firearms, especially the power of the Hongyi cannon and the suggestion of introducing the craftsmanship of the Hongyi firecracker.
At this moment, the officials in the palace circulated it, and after about a breath of silence,
Cheng Xin, the envoy in charge of the administration, took the lead in congratulating each other, saying: "Jiangnan has achieved a great victory. I congratulate you for the sage, and congratulate the great man!"
For a moment, the officials in the palace also cleared up their mixed feelings, not to be outdone, and cupped their hands and said: "The ministers congratulate the sage, and congratulate the great man!"
No matter what you think in your heart, there is only one voice in Hanyuan Hall at this moment, the voice of victory.
Going from victory to victory crushes all dissent.
Capturing a prince and annihilating [-] sailors is a great victory worthy of special mention.
It can be said that after several months of civil unrest, people almost thought that the Chen Han Building was about to collapse, but now it seems that overnight, another image of the prosperity of the Chinese Communist Party?
The speed of change is almost dizzying.
(End of this chapter)
Ningguo Mansion
In the afternoon, the sky is clear and the sun shines brightly in the courtyard. The evergreen pines and cypresses sway with the wind, making the greenery eye-catching.
Following Jia Heng's socializing with a group of Jiangnan officials, Yuan Chun has led Tan Chun, Xiang Yun, Zhen Lan, and Zhen Xi back to Ningguo Mansion, and Chai Dai and Bao Qin on the other side have also returned to the mansion.
Just after lunch, the Yingyingyanyans who were sitting in the hall talking were laughing and laughing.
Qingxue Lanxi, Wenqi Yuantan, and Chai Daiyunqin sit in the hall, narrating narrating, and playing chess.
Xiang Yun smiled and said: "When brother Heng comes back, let him tell us about the battle."
"Sister Yun is still thinking about the war." Baochai said with a chuckle, and there was amusement in her moist almond eyes.
Xiang Yun said softly: "I haven't seen a war since I grew up. I usually read Brother Heng's Three Kingdoms script, but I have seen a lot. I don't know if it is different from those."
The two sisters Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi were also talking in a low voice.
At this moment, Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue also found an excuse to come over, they were talking with little loli Shui Xin, and Youshi was by the side.
Shui Xin said in a waxy voice: "Auntie, mother, it's time for godfather to come back?"
"I'll be back in a while." Zhen Xue put her arms around Shui Xin, a beautiful and peaceful smile floated on her white and jade face.
At this moment, a nanny who usually served Daiyu said happily, "Miss Lin, Master Heng is back."
When everyone in the hall heard the words, they had different emotions, but they all got up and walked towards the threshold, only to see a young man in a python suit coming along the corridor.
"Brother Heng." Xiangyun was young and innocent, and he called out with a chuckle, and rushed towards Jia Heng.
"Godfather." Shui Xin looked around in Zhen Xue's arms, saw that man, quickly broke free from her mother's arms, and ran towards Jia Heng.
Jia Heng looked at the two of them, or at the Yingyingyanyan who had left the front hall at this moment and stood under the eaves, his expression was a little dazed for a while.
Eight words can't help but spring up in my heart: "Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, competing for beauty."
"Godfather, are you back?" Shui Xin ran over and shouted crisply.
"Hey." Jia Heng approached and hugged Shui Xin, let little loli hug her neck, kissed her cheeks, turned to look at Xiang Yun who was holding her arm, and said with a smile: "Sister Yun, you two, don't be rash." If you lose it, you will fall again."
At this moment, the super-grade boa robe on her body has not been taken off in time, and the sword is still hanging on her waist, which is very heroic, but holding the pink and jade-carved little Lolita in one hand, in the eyes of everyone. His majestic and serious temperament is undoubtedly much less.
Under Baochai's crescent eyebrows, her moist almond eyes were almost fixed on looking at the young man, and she felt that the faint smile on the resolute and clear face seemed to contain an intoxicating charm.
Under Daodao's staring eyes, Jia Heng carried Shui Xin into the hall, and asked Shui Xin, "Xin Xin is getting heavier and taller, and I can't even hold her."
"No way." Shui Xin smiled crescent-shaped eyes, put her arms around Jia Heng's neck, her pink face was full of smiles.
Zhen Xue watched the scene quietly, and felt that the smile on her mouth was rising uncontrollably, and the beautiful eyes under the willow-leaf eyebrows were as bright as water, and she was a little absent-minded for a while.
She also has some thoughts...
Well, I'm not feeling cranky at this time.Quickly dispelled a trace of distracting thoughts from my mind.
Zhen Qing's clear and narrow phoenix eyes smiled slightly, her cold and charming face, her white and snowy cheeks flushed into a glow, her voice was soft and charming, and she said: "Brother Heng, my second uncle Are you back with fourth uncle?"
Because of Zhen Xi's relationship, and the fact that Zhen Shao and Zhen Zhu followed Jia Heng to Haimen to fight against the captives, although everyone felt that the two seemed a little close, they didn't doubt it.
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing with calm eyes, at least outsiders couldn't see any clues, and said, "I've already returned."
Saying that, she sat down with Shui Xin in her arms, looked at Princess Chu Zhen Qing, and said in a concentrated voice: "The two Zhen Shibos took the lead this time, fighting bravely to be the first, and gained a lot."
Zhen Qing was slightly happy when she heard the words, and said with emotion: "Brother Heng, this battle is really not easy. Many people in the city have paid attention to it these past few days, and the people in the house are worried. Today is finally a victory."
Tanchun's beautiful and jade-like face smiled lightly, looked at Jia Heng with radiant eyes, and said, "Brother Heng, there are all kinds of rumors in Jinling City these days, and I heard that there are still many impeachment memorials delivered to Beijing." inside."
Jia Heng smiled, and said softly: "The Southern Kingdom has experienced wars for a long time, and it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate when there is a war for the first time."
Yuan Chun looked at the young man who was talking eloquently in front of a group of sisters, his beautiful eyes were as soft as water, and the pride and sweetness in his heart seemed to fill the girl's body and mind.
This is the lover she is looking for.
Compared with the curious inquiries of all the girls, the girl who is over the age of double ten and handsome looks at the boy with a smile on her face.
Baochai raised her eyes to look at the young man, her apricot eyes protruded with strong thoughts, she was almost on the verge of talking.
There is always an end, when she asked him.
Dai Yu stared at Jia Heng with starry eyes, pinching the handkerchief, her jade face was full of curiosity.
Zhen Lan asked: "Brother Heng, my little sister has not yet figured out how the officers and soldiers repelled the army led by Duoduo."
The girl's voice was round and smooth, her face was sculpted, and her face was thinly applied with makeup. At this moment, her bright eyes were fixed on Jia Heng.
Zhen Qing frowned, her clear phoenix eyes glanced lightly at Zhen Lan, and said in a low voice, "Third Sister."
Zhen Lan said angrily, "I'm just curious."
Jia Heng looked at Zhen Qing, smiled, signaled that it was okay, and explained: "The captives came from a long distance. Although they are numerous and powerful, they belong to multiple groups, and their strength is difficult to unite. Moreover, the Jurchen is not fifty thousand, it should be three. Ten thousand, the core force is the Korean navy, with only ten thousand people, it is not surprising that our army has the advantages of terrain and armor, and it is not surprising to defeat the enemy."
Zhen Lan listened, her eyes sparkling, and said: "Terrain, the strength of armor?"
Jia Heng smiled, not wanting to talk deeply, and said: "This can't be explained clearly in a few words."
Zhen Lan wanted to ask again, but she felt her sleeves being pulled by Zhen Xi who was beside her. Immediately, she met a pair of aura-like eyes.
"Sister, it can't be said that military secrets are involved. Sister, stop asking the bottom line." Zhen Xi said softly.
Jia Heng looked approvingly, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xi'er is very understanding."
You can’t just raise fish without baiting.
One sentence made Zhenxi's cheeks blush, she quickly lowered her head, lowered her eyebrows, twisted her handkerchief with her hands, the cheeks of Xiafei, a young girl with a young face, were like a little daughter-in-law who dared not see anyone.
But everyone knew that this was Jia Heng's concubine's room. Seeing the shy and timid scene of the girl, they laughed secretly.
Zhen Lan pursed her pink lips, stared at the young man, pinched the handkerchief, thinking inexplicably.
What does it mean?Sister Xi'er is considerate, isn't she reasonable enough?
Jia Heng said: "Some things are indeed confidential, let's talk about them later."
Regarding the power and tactics of the Red Barbarian Cannon, it is hard to say much now, at least there will be some unexpected effects in the battle against the Jurchen in the future.
It's not that Jurchen doesn't know the Hongyi cannon, but even if there are some misjudgments in the specific power parameters, it will be an advantage for the big man.
Baoqin said softly: "Brother Heng captured the Jurchen Prince Duoduo alive? Is Duduo so brave?"
Xiangyun asked: "Brother Heng, didn't Duoduo escape from you once before?"
"This time on Chongming Sand, even if you want to run, you can't run anywhere else." Jia Heng said in a clear voice.
If you count the assassination in Huanhualou, it should be two times, but now Duoduo was finally caught.
When everyone heard the words, they looked thoughtful.
Jia Heng said softly: "Prince Jurchen came here to mess with Jiangnan, but now he has smashed Jiangnan."
Xiang Yun's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said softly, "Brother Heng won't be too busy in the future."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the boy with curiosity.
Jia Heng said softly: "Recently, I have been free, and I happened to be taking Sister Yun around the south of the Yangtze River."
Hearing this, Xiang Yun's ruddy apple face was full of joy, and he said, "Brother Heng must keep his word."
It caused a few people to laugh lightly.
Jia Heng nodded, smiled and said, "I just have time these few days,"
Talking casually with the girls, Jia Heng looked at Daiyu who was smiling at her, and said, "When I was in Yangzhou, I saw Uncle Lin and said that I would ask Sister Lin to spend more time in Jinling City."
Daiyu heard the words, and said softly: "It's good not to delay Brother Heng's business."
At this moment, Baochai listened quietly, raised her eyes to look at the young man with warm eyes, her thoughts were a little complicated, wouldn't Big Brother Heng talk to her now?
When Jia Heng came back from Guangdong to Jinling, he did not look for Baochai to talk.
Jia Heng stared at Baochai with some inexplicable meaning in his eyes, and said, "Sister Xue, Sister Baoqin has just arrived in Jinling, so you usually spend more time with her."
When Baochai heard this, the loss hidden deep in her heart completely disappeared, and said with a light smile: "Brother Heng, Baoqin grew up in Jinling, and she is more familiar with every plant and tree in Jinling than I am."
Jia Heng nodded, and said: "Wait for these two days to be free and let Sister Baoqin be your guide."
Well, this is more mentally exhausting than fighting Duoduo for five rounds. You have to talk to Daiyu, and you have to take Baochai's feelings into account, and you can't neglect other people.
It was Yuan Chun who saw the tired look on Jia Heng's face, and said softly: "Brother Heng, you just came back, go take a shower and change clothes first, the journey is full of dust."
After Yuan Chun finished speaking, Zhen Qing came to her senses, smiled and said, "Brother Heng, don't just talk too much, go back and take a bath, and take a good rest."
With concern on her face, Daiyu said softly: "Brother Heng is quite tired, let's go back and rest first."
Jia Heng nodded, put Shui Xin down, looked at Zhen Qing and Zhen Xue, and said, "Then I'll go there first."
Saying that, under the eyes of everyone, she got up and left the hall in the backyard. At this time, Qingwen was waiting under the eaves of the corridor, staring at the face that she thought about day and night.
"Son."
The girl was dressed in a light green dress, her body was slender, her color became more and more beautiful, and the charm of the buds blooming in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes overflowed silently.
Jia Heng approached, rubbed the air bangs on the girl's forehead with a smile, and asked, "Well, what's the matter?"
Qingwen pouted, and said softly: "It's nothing, Yingying Yanyan, who was in the whole room just now, asked the young master in a hurry, and I couldn't get in."
Jia Heng looked at the beautiful young girl, smiled and said: "Well, let's go, wait for me to take a shower and change clothes."
In fact, he and Qingwen get along quite a lot, because they always have to take a bath every other day.
Sometimes the ones who don't write and ink are the most. Who will write what they eat in the morning, noon, and night every day?
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Keqing in Beijing.
When Qingwen heard this, a smile appeared on her pretty face again, she hummed softly, and followed Jia Heng to the wing.
No matter how many people are around the young master, she is the only one who helps him take a bath.
Jia Heng followed Qingwen to the wing room. After taking a bath, she immediately changed into autumn clothes and came back to the living room.
On the other side, everyone in the hall was happily discussing the war.
Zhen Qing looked at the young man in casual clothes who was not far away, his heroism was undiminished, and there was a touch of hotness in his watery eyes.
At this moment, Daiyu also stopped talking, and she and Baochai also looked at the young man in the blue shirt with joy in his eyes.
Jia Heng said softly: "Tell me something about the two uncles and the two concubines."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhen Xi like last time and said, "Sister Xi'er also come over to listen."
Zhen Xi's cheeks were hot, Yingying stood up, and said in a weak voice: "Brother Heng."
Even if his brain breaks through the sky, he will not think that the two princesses and a girl from the Zhen family will have a charming affair in the study, and the last time I talked about the Zhen family, Zhen Shao and Zhen Zhu went to Tongzhou Wei The Jiangnan camp in Hong Kong went to meet the enemy captives.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, it is even more convincing that what is being discussed is the serious business of the Zhenjia family.
In the study, entering the inner room, Zhen Qing said softly, "Zi Yu, it's been hard work going out to fight this time."
While talking, he took Jia Heng's hand, looked at it carefully, and asked: "Did you get hurt this time?"
"No injury." Jia Heng said, and pulled Zhen Qing's slender hand that was untying her belt, the touch was soft and soft, and said: "Don't make trouble, Xi'er is still there."
He didn't know why Zhen Qing's addiction to the boss was so big. This was obviously not the self-positioning of the mistress, but the kind of person who regarded him as her own man and needed to pay regular rations.
Zhen Xi's slap-sized face was flushed, as red as a cloud, her bright eyes were filled with embarrassment, and she said in a soft voice: "Brother Heng, you guys talk first, I'm standing at the door watching the wind."
Saying that, he turned around and fled out of the wing room, came to the outer hall, and really went to help watch the wind.
Jia Heng took Zhen Qing's hand, came to the bed, sat down, and let Zhen Qing be busy.
Zhen Qing's cheeks were bright as fire, her cheeks sometimes swelled and sometimes sunken, and under the slender eyebrows of willow leaves, her long and narrow eyes were charming, and she said in an indistinct voice: "Zi Yu, I won't be able to come here in a few days."
Jia Heng gently brushed a strand of hair beside Zhen Qing's ear, then suddenly raised her eyes to look at Zhen Xue who was either walking or staying where she was, and said softly, "Come here, Xueer."
Zhen Xue's delicate body trembled slightly, but her feet seemed uncontrollable, she walked up to her and said, "Zi Yu."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to hug Zhen Xue into his arms, looked at Zhen Qing who was hanging her head down, and said, "I'm talking to Xue'er."
Zhen Qing: "???"
No, she is co-authoring a wedding dress for her sister?
Jia Heng said: "Last time I came back to fight in a hurry, I just cared about messing with you, and didn't talk to Xue'er much, you don't have to worry about us, you are busy with you."
Zhen Qing: "..."
This bastard!
Zhen Xue heard the words, Wanli's jade face climbed into a blush, her heart was sweet, her eyes reflected Jia Heng's outline, and said: "Zi Yu, you just came back from the battlefield, so don't overwork yourself."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Xue'er is right, then go watch the wind."
Zhen Xue: "..."
What does she mean?Why is this person so unreasonable?
Suddenly, he turned his eyes and saw his sister who had a smile on her face, and realized that she was making fun of herself. She beat Jia Heng's chest with a powder fist, and said angrily, "You can play tricks on people."
Jia Heng hugged Zhen Xue and whispered in Li Ren's ear, "Xue'er, I miss you."
Just one sentence made Zhen Xue's delicate body soften half, Wen Ning's brows like water raised her eyebrows and stared at Jia Heng, and said, "Zi Yu, uh~"
Accompanied by the warm breath, Zhen Xue's eyelashes trembled, and she gently closed her beautiful eyes, letting the young man be thin.
Jia Heng piled up a beautiful snowman, and said in a low voice: "This trip to the south is finally ready, let's go back to Beijing, hiss..."
Except for the last few things, he can almost return to Beijing as a teacher, but before that, he still has to meet Li Shouzhong, the former Imperial College Jijiu. A few days.
If you recover, you can go to the household department. The Nanjing household department is still short of people. As for the two servants of the military department, most of them have to transfer people from Beijing.
"Hmm." Zhen Xueyu said, her face flushed, her voice trembling slightly.
After a long time, Jia Heng hugged the rosy and soft Zhen Xue, and said in a low voice: "Xue'er, pack up, I'll talk to your sister."
Zhen Qing wrapped her arms around Jia Heng's waist, the millstone sank down, her brows frowned, and she let out a grunt from her nostrils, she asked in surprise, "Zi Yu, how did Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle behave in this battle?"
"The achievements made this time are not enough to make the emperor show mercy to Zhen's family. You should have expected it." Jia Heng looked into Zhen Qing's eyes, gently stroking Zhen Qing's face, the rough skin It's getting better.
Zhen Qing was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, I know, it's just that when the hair falls down in the future, it can be lighter."
If he were replaced by the Zhen family, the credit would be about the same now.
Jia Heng sighed and said, "There is no other way."
Playing around with Zhen Xue and Zhen Qing, it was almost evening, and there was another autumn rain outside the window at some point, wrapped in a cool chill, blowing the window and making a few rustling sounds, suddenly , it is already November of the 15th year of Chongming.
Jia Heng left the study refreshed, and went back to the wing to take a bath, wash away the dust, thought for a while, and didn't go looking for Baochai for a while.
Firstly, after tossing with Qingxue, she didn't have much thought to use her tongue, and secondly, Daiyu was probably paying attention to his movements.
Could it be that when he went to Baochai to eat the golden lock, Daiyu also went to Baochai's house and said, "It's not a coincidence that I came here?"
Today, as Yuan Chun said, he should take a rest for a day.
……
……
Shenjing, Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall
It has been five or six days since Emperor Chongping last received sweet potatoes. Some time ago, the high yield of sweet potatoes caused heated discussions in Beijing. Today, Emperor Chongping specially convened a court meeting to discuss the promotion of sweet potatoes in the arid northern provinces. .
The cabinet, the six ministries, the nine ministers, the six divisions, and the chief censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate all listened to the hadith in the empty and solemn hall.
This time, Qin Ye, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out to play and said loudly: "My lord, according to what Yongningbo said, sweet potatoes need crop rotation for several years to restore soil fertility, so they have been abandoned in Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, and Henan these years." Sweet potatoes are planted on the land, and at the same time planted on some barren lands, sweet potatoes are supplemented as the staple food of the people to alleviate the famine, and the Ministry of Industry will send field chiefs to Shandong, Hebei and other places to preside over composting and retting. "
Eating too much sweet potato will cause flatulence, and coarse grains cannot be used as staple food for a long time, but it is better than eating bark and Guanyin soil in a famine year.
Jia Heng also provided the father-in-law with ideas about agronomy. In the parallel time and space of Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi had already written the "Complete Book of Agricultural Politics".
Emperor Chongping pondered and said: "The cabinet has issued a document for the chief ministers of Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong to encourage local governments to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes to overcome the drought."
Then, he turned his eyes to Yang Guochang and said: "The Ministry of Households will also change the tax collection in kind in a timely manner. In the northern provinces, people are allowed to use sweet potatoes and other goods to pay the government. At the same time, according to the famine, tax exemption should be exempted as appropriate."
The current tax system of Chen Han is still the two-tax law, which is divided into two taxes in summer and autumn.
In some provinces in the north where there is no harvest, sweet potatoes are harvested in kind to alleviate the famine.
Yang Guochang bowed his hand and should be.
After discussing the matter of encouraging the cultivation of sweet potatoes, Emperor Chongping pondered for a moment, looked at Shi Jie, and asked, "Military Aircraft Department, is there any military report from Jinling recently?"
As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers all looked at the entire staff of the Military Aircraft Department, with different thoughts.
Shi Jie, Minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Return to the Holy Lord, the six-hundred-mile express delivery has not yet been delivered to the capital, the Zhejiang capital Dinghaiwei, Ningbowei and other naval forces have been defeated, and Yongningbo has already sent troops to suppress."
As he spoke, he hesitated for a while, and added: "Your Majesty, the Zhen family sent a memorial to invite the battle the day before yesterday, and they have gone to Haimen with Uncle Yongning to meet the enemy."
Emperor Chongping's face was indifferent, and he said lightly: "I already know about this matter, and the loyalty of the Zhen family is commendable."
At this time, the officials below changed their usual silence about the Jiangnan war today, because as time passed, everyone can also see that Emperor Chongping trusted the young nobleman so much that he couldn't move it with words.
And before Yongningbo went on a business trip, it would be best not to openly sing a different tune.
Now that the battle is raging, it's time to watch the jokes of this pair of princes and ministers.
If you lose the battle... there will be a good show to watch.
But not all the officials were willing to remain silent. Zhou Ping, the head of Zhejiang Province and the censor, held a wat board and went out of the shift and said: "Your Majesty, Yongningbo sent troops this time too rashly. The situation is dangerous, and I thought that the Holy Majesty had made a plan early on."
Emperor Chongping's face changed suddenly when he heard the words, and he said in a low voice: "I vaguely remember that the officials of the six departments in Nanjing were still saying that Yongning Bo had a large army and sat and watched the enemy invade the country. Soldiers meet the enemy, and it becomes a reckless dispatch of troops, why do your words contradict each other?"
During this period of time, in fact, it was mainly the Nanjing officials who were avoiding the impeachment of Jia Heng in Shangshu, and the officials of the Six Ministries of Beijing Central Committee and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, except for the last impeachment, seldom agreed, and most of them chose to wait and see what happened.
Zhou Ping cupped his hands and said: "Nanjing officials are afraid that soldiers will come to the city, so they are urging troops to attack. Officials in Beijing don't know what to do, so they go in and agree with each other. Uncle Yongning can't check, he is moved by their words."
Some of the older officials present all looked at the censor who held his neck to defend, and sneered in their hearts. Another one wanted to invite him directly, but it was a pity that the emperor favored Yongning Bo and would not listen to such harsh words.
Emperor Chongping's face was as iron as steel, and he remained silent.
At this time, Beijing Wang Shui Rong frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Since Yongning Bo has chosen to send troops to meet the enemy, he should have a comprehensive plan, how can he judge the military plan arbitrarily because of the noise?"
At this time, Yan Ye, the king of Nan'an County, held an ivory wat board and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if Yongningbo is defeated and the troops from all provinces come to help, the old capital of Jinling will be safe and sound."
Emperor Chongping: "..."
Yan Ye cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I request that the troops of the Beijing camp go south."
As Jia Heng left Shenjing and went south to oversee the army, the king of Nan'an County had already begun to try to intervene in the Jingying, but because of Emperor Chongping's trust in Jia Heng, he didn't know where to start for a while. Unfavorable, the king of Nan'an County undoubtedly got a chance.
Emperor Chongping's face was indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "The outcome of a war is very predictable, Yan Qing must be conclusive, right?"
Nan'an County King Yan Ye raised his head, and said righteously: "My lord, my minister went south just in case. Jinling is the old capital of our Han Dynasty. The world is paying attention, and the safety of the country cannot be ignored."
Seeing Nan'an County King's repeated invitations, Emperor Chongping's expression was worried and he was silent for a while.
If the king of Nan'an County went south, he would actually make it clear to the world that he would not trust Yongningbo's ability to lead troops.
But after a few days, there was no news from Jiangnan, and the quietness made people feel flustered.
Not only the imperial palace, but the entire capital of the Great Han Dynasty is discussing the war in the south of the Yangtze River, and the streets and alleys are discussing this matter.
At this moment, civil servants such as Yang Guochang, Han Huang, Zhao Mo and others kept silent, watching Wu Xun's infighting at the Military Aircraft Department.
When the atmosphere was at a stalemate, an inner eunuch in a red robe hurriedly ran up the hall, out of breath, and said, "My lord, this is Yongningbo's secrets and battle reports."
Because Emperor Chongping was particularly worried about the war in the south of the Yangtze River these days, he asked Dai Quan to assign a few internal guards to the Secretary of General Affairs, the Military Aircraft Office on duty, Jinyi Mansion and other places where Jia Heng might send someone to deliver the memorial. They must be the first Time to learn about Jia Heng's military report.
Emperor Chongping's face was slightly surprised, and then he was overjoyed, and ordered Dai Quan: "Bring the memorial and the military report."
When the officials in the palace heard the words, their hearts moved slightly, and they secretly thought, military newspaper?Is it a failure?Otherwise, how could it be so fast?
Which battle of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the past was not delayed for a month?
Dai Quan took the memorandum, bowed and walked quickly, handing it over with both hands.
Emperor Chongping received the memorial and read it intently. As time passed, the emperor's hand holding the military newspaper was trembling slightly.
"It's a service. Prince Doduo was captured alive. The Korean navy surrendered countless people. The pirates were terrified and captured countless people."
The fewer words, the bigger the matter.
All the ministers in the palace were secretly watching the emperor's expression. Seeing this scene, they frowned tightly, feeling uncertain in their hearts.
what's the situation?
Is it a big defeat?The emperor was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.
This won't be like fainting when Kaifeng fell, will it?
Thinking of this, Nan'an County King Yan Ye's heart skipped a beat, ready to rush over at any moment when the Son of Heaven's complexion was not right.
When Kaifeng fell, he was checking the frontier in the northwest. That day was the wedding day of his daughter Yiliu, but when Kaifeng fell, the wedding day was thrown into chaos.
And Yang Guochang's heart jumped, while Han Huang condensed, quickly assessing the impact of this matter in his heart.
If Yongningbo is defeated, will the Qi Party make a comeback?
However, only a moment later, Emperor Chongping couldn't restrain the smile on his face, and said with a hearty laugh in his voice, "Masters, Yongningbo led the troops to wipe out the more than [-] pirates led by Jurchen Prince Duoduo, and captured them alive. The Jurchen White Banner, Prince Dodo, has achieved a great victory!"
Since the fall of Liaodong, how could Jurchen have such a big defeat?A prince was also captured, which was the biggest victory in the war against captives in decades.
As if a huge boulder had been smashed into the lifeless Hanyuan Hall, the originally quiet and slightly weird group of officials felt a turmoil in their hearts.
The officials were stunned, and they didn't react for a while.
Even some courtiers would have imagined a big victory, but it didn't happen so suddenly. How should I put it, I thought it would take at least a month, or maybe it would be another bad battle. The Japanese plague in Ming Dynasty was common and protracted.
But now...the Jurchen princes have all been captured alive?
Nan'an County King Yan Ye's complexion changed suddenly, he felt a basin of cold water poured down his head, the wat board he was holding was almost trembling slightly, and his eyes narrowed.
Then Jia Heng actually won?
Yang Guochang's old face was pale, and there was a touch of surprise in his cloudy eyes.
And Han Huang frowned, this... another victory?
Not to mention the complete annihilation of the captives, but also the capture of Duduo, the Jurchen prince?
It can be said that the political situation in Beijing and China these days is very strange, because anyone with insight knows that the appearance of sweet potatoes has made the prestige of Yongningbo, a military hero, steadily rising among the people and scholars.
As for being red and purple in front of the emperor, it is proof that Pang Shilang, the Minister of Rites, was given a cart of sweet potatoes by the emperor. This time he sent a cart of sweet potatoes, will he send a prison cart next time?
Therefore, whether it is the Qi Party or the Zhejiang Party, under the fear of the relevant civil servants, there is no shouting and killing at the beginning, which has caused a chilling effect to some extent.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty clearly would not object, but they would still slander in their hearts. Some officials with dark thoughts stared at this war with malicious eyes, vaguely looking forward to it.
It's not that the Jurchens are so powerful that they landed in the south of the Yangtze River, but that the young man must lose once, even if he loses a lot, with soldiers from all provinces, Jinling can't be lost.
Until then, the crowd is raging.
but now……
Shi Jie took a deep breath, calmed down his agitated mood, and asked first, "My lord, did Yongning Bo win the battle in Jiangnan?"
When the officials in the palace heard the words, they all looked up at Emperor Chongping for a while, waiting for confirmation again.
Emperor Chongping, who was usually unsmiling, could hardly hide the smile on his cold and hard face, and said, "Dai Quan, show the general newspapers to all the ministers."
At this moment, the worry on Dai Quan's face gradually dissipated, and the smile on his fair face could not be concealed. He took the military report and circulated it to the officials below.
The cabinet and the Military Aircraft Office checked first, and saw that the military newspaper records were detailed, from dispatching troops to engaging with the enemy, to the final summary of the results of the battle.
Up to this moment, Yang Guochang only felt that his eyes were dark, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, his eyes were absent, his expression was blank, and his face was ashen. He didn't know how to deliver the general report to Han Huang who was beside him.
It was like Feng Biao's expression when facing Liu Huaqiang, fight me Liu Huaqiang, do you have the strength?
Losing one's soul is like mourning a concubine.
While Han Huang and Zhao Mo looked at the words on it, their complexions changed for a while, their eyes were fixed, and they settled down, and delivered the general's report to several important officials of the Military Aircraft Department at the side.
Han Huang's eyes were a little dark, thinking about the impact of this matter on the court.
The king of Nan'an held the military newspaper, the corner of his mouth twitched, his eyes were gloomy.
Wang Shuirong of Beijing was holding the military newspaper, his young and handsome face was full of emotion, and said: "General Jia Ziyu is unparalleled, he is the backbone of the country, the mainstay."
It's really unconvincing. From the beginning when the army was organized in the Beijing camp, facing the complicated personnel affairs in the Beijing camp, to the present, there is nothing Jia Ziyu can't do.
Jia Zheng also read the military newspaper, his beard trembled slightly with excitement on his elegant face.
Ziyu won another big victory!
However, Emperor Chongping took Jia Heng's secret book and carefully read it. Above the memorial book, he mainly narrated the benefits of firearms, especially the power of the Hongyi cannon and the suggestion of introducing the craftsmanship of the Hongyi firecracker.
At this moment, the officials in the palace circulated it, and after about a breath of silence,
Cheng Xin, the envoy in charge of the administration, took the lead in congratulating each other, saying: "Jiangnan has achieved a great victory. I congratulate you for the sage, and congratulate the great man!"
For a moment, the officials in the palace also cleared up their mixed feelings, not to be outdone, and cupped their hands and said: "The ministers congratulate the sage, and congratulate the great man!"
No matter what you think in your heart, there is only one voice in Hanyuan Hall at this moment, the voice of victory.
Going from victory to victory crushes all dissent.
Capturing a prince and annihilating [-] sailors is a great victory worthy of special mention.
It can be said that after several months of civil unrest, people almost thought that the Chen Han Building was about to collapse, but now it seems that overnight, another image of the prosperity of the Chinese Communist Party?
The speed of change is almost dizzying.
