Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

The first batch of conscription orders enlisted all men aged 24 to 25 in Gyeonggi.In Jia Daishan's words, if these people are not recruited first, some people will be overage next year.

And Jia Zheng, as the second son of the Ministry of War Minister, honored Rong Guogong's words in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and became the first conscript in the first batch of conscription orders.All the nobles in the capital obediently packed up and reported to the capital camp after receiving the conscription order.With Jia Zheng as an example, all the literati in Gyeonggi obediently put down their books and went to the capital camp on time to join the ranks.

In fact, when the conscription order was issued to Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng learned that he was going to serve as a three-year conscript in the barracks, so he immediately ran to Rongxi Hall, hugged Shi and burst into tears.He really thought that when he became a soldier, he was going to die.Shi also cried with his second son in his arms, and the maidservants around him also cried with him.

Weeping so much that Rongxi Hall burst into mourning, as if someone had died.

Rong Guogong, who came back from Luoya, saw the mother and son crying like that, so he said a few words of persuasion, but he didn't want the mother and son to cry even more vigorously.But Jia Dai was so angry that he raised his sword and wanted to kill Jia Zheng first, so that he could be worthy of the crying of mother and son.It was Jia She who tried his best to stop him, so that no tragedy happened.

The fear at that moment made Jia Zheng forget to cry, and he felt intuitively that his father really wanted to kill him, this shameful son of a bitch.At that moment, Jia She stopped his father's action, which made Jia Zheng realize that his elder brother was really blocking his father.

The first batch of soldiers was going to Luzon in the summer, so they only stayed in the Beijing camp for a short half a month, got acquainted with the requirements of the army, and boarded the sea ship at Tianjin Port.The waves were bumpy all the way, except for a few people who were always seasick from the beginning to the end, the others got used to it for a period of time and were no longer seasick.

Jia Zheng is unfortunately included in the list of individuals.

On the night when the recruits arrived in Luzon, they were picked up by thousands of households from their respective camps who came to pick them up according to the roster.Jia Zheng was separated from the noble sons he knew in the capital, and was alone, together with several people who had fainted all the way to Luzon, first went to the rest center and stayed there for three days.After he reported that he was a scholar with special skills, he was assigned to the barracks of the general's mansion of Hu Hong, the garrison general in Manila, as a clerk.

Jia Zheng's first letter is a long description of his suffering at sea.Thanks to his father-in-law's teachings, he understands that flamboyant and obscure writing is not as good as straightforward writing, so this letter that Shi can understand, apart from causing Shi to cry a few times, in exchange for Rong Guogong scolding Shi, is really useless. What a good effect.

However, in this letter, Jia Zheng greeted all the family members with affection and sincerity. The sincerity of the words and the profound friendship made Jia Dai good at reading the letter. Shaking the letter paper, he said to Shi: "Look, It’s wise to leave home.”

Then Jia Daishan repeatedly told Shi Shi not to tell about Jia Zheng's writing.Once it was leaked, Jia Zheng had no choice but to carry his gun on board.Shi was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth tightly, telling the two daughters-in-law not to mention this matter when they returned to their parents' home.

In contrast to Jia Zheng, the other noble children in the capital were assigned and included in the battalion as ordinary soldiers.According to Hu Hong's explanation to the Ministry of War later, "Jia Zheng is the only one of the group of honorable children from the capital, and he is a scholar who was selected by himself." Of course, this is all for later.

After Zhen Guogong led the army to Liaodong, the saint concentrated his energy on the Liaodong battlefield.Jia Daishan spent almost half of his time in the Beijing camp supervising and training recruits, which was half the time he spent in the court.

The Taishang looked at the anxious saint and comforted him: "Nothing will happen in Liaodong. The previous strategy of the Goguryeo clan will not exist when it comes to artillery."

"Father, I still have no idea."

The Taishang understands his son. For a person who has never been on the battlefield, the first thing he thinks of when facing Goguryeo is that he drags down the Sui Dynasty. Then Tang Taizong, who has many famous generals and extraordinary military power, took decades to calm down. Goguryeo.Now the rest of the Goguryeo family are frequently planning their heyday territory on the former site of Liaodong.Whenever the Tatars invaded Dajing, they would inevitably cooperate in making troubles in Liaodong and involve Dajing's army.

But Dajing's army was really going to attack Goguryeo, but they withdrew their troops and went back to the city with natural dangers. They were exhausted until it was cold and cold, and Dajing's army's logistics supplies could not bear the pressure and retreated.

Repeatedly, it is annoying.

"Take your time, don't rush. Your army of 20 is much stronger than Emperor Wendi's army of one million. But are you really going to destroy the Goguryeo clan?"

"Yes, father. If Liaodong is to be completely settled, there must be no shadow of the Goguryeo clan. Just like the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, if the coast is to be stable, the Japanese pirates must be wiped out."

On the Liaodong battlefield, the 20 army strictly followed Emperor Jingren's strategy, and first sent messages all the way to inform the Goguryeo people living in Liaodong that they had three days to escape north.Three days later, where the army passed by, there was not a single Goguryeo left.

It took more than three months for the army led by Lord Zhen Guo to cross the frozen Liaohe River and arrive at the important town of Liaodong.In Liaodong City, it encountered resistance from the assembled Goguryeo army.

Zhen Guogong only ordered his soldiers to form formations instead of attacking Liaodong City. Dozens of artillery were hoisted high and poured shells into the city. After an hour, when the artillery cooled down, they launched another bombardment.

Liu Changfeng, the son of Duke Li, said to Jia Amnesty, "I'd be happy if I could go up there and chop it up."

Jia Amnesty patted Liu Changfeng on the shoulder and said, "The sages have said that if you can use artillery, you are not allowed to use people in battle. A baby needs to be raised for 18 years before it becomes a cub. How can someone be so valuable."

Liu Changfeng led his tall horse, and patted the restless horse, which was aroused by the continuous bombardment, to calm his horse's emotions.

"Saints value soldiers, which is also a blessing for the common people."

Suddenly, Jia She and Liu Changfeng, who were talking, jumped onto their steeds at the same time, and each sent an order to the back, "The cavalry is ready."

The south gate of Liaodong City was opened, and it was believed that this was a team that was going out of the city to fight to the death.

Duke Zhen sneered, and ordered loudly, "The artillery is aimed at the south gate. Fire in bursts."

The deafening artillery sounded again, and after the south city gate fell off the suspension bridge, the troops in the city were blown back before leaving the city gate.

Jia Amnesty and Liu Changfeng dismounted from the horse sadly, and loosened the horse's girth.

"Duke Zhen is really going to use shells to solve Liaodong City."

The purpose of the Goguryeo soldiers who were going to come out from the south gate was to stop Dajing's army so that others could escape through the north gate.Many of these soldiers were killed by the artillery, and the corpses piled up at the south gate, causing more chaos in the city.The shelling on the city gate just now broke the rope on one side of the suspension bridge, and the lowered suspension bridge could not be retracted. The soldiers on the city wall pointed their bows and arrows at the suspension bridge nervously.

"Bah, these idiots." Jia She scolded, "We still don't see it at this time, we don't want to attack the city."

Before nightfall, Liaodong City became an empty city.

The sage excitedly wrote a sentence in the battle report, "The shadows are scattered in Lincheng, and Long has to look back at Shu."

When the sage went back to Kunning Palace to have dinner with Shi Shi and several children, Tu Dan said to him, "Father, Grandfather said that you wrote a poem on the notebook, and the historian will record it in the annals of history."

The sage picked up the youngest Tucheng, and asked Baozhu with a smile, "Do you know who wrote the phrase 'Looking at the city but scattered'?"

The three big boys all knew that Tu Dan and Tu Cheng were too young, Baozhu looked at her father who was waiting for her answer, and lowered her head in shame.

"Father, my son doesn't know."

The sage pondered for a while, "When you are studying in the study, you should be more serious about the homework left by the master."

Baozhu's tears are about to fall.

The sage continued to say in a warm voice: "I let you study with Tuji and Tupi brothers, just to treat and educate you like a prince. If you have any girls, you don't have to study hard, and you can learn as well as your brothers and younger brothers." A good idea is to underestimate yourself.”

Under the pressure of the sage's eyes, Baozhu stammered and said, "Royal father, it's useless for my son to study."

"Baozhu, who told you that reading is useless?"

"Father, my son is a princess, and the princess will not be able to be an official in the future. What are you doing studying?"

"If you don't become an official, you don't need to study?"

The reason why the sage asked Baozhu was because he asked the old Hanlin who taught the princess how to study, and learned that Baozhu was very perfunctory with several days of homework.

Baozhu's tears immediately fell down, and the little girl burst into tears, choked with sobs, before being told by her father.

The sage looked at the queen, and Shi Shi smiled and asked someone to fetch water to wash Baozhu's face, and then said to the sage: "Ming Yun, Concubine Li's knowledge is limited, and I am too busy. The eldest princesses are very serious about their studies. Baozhu moved to the palace, let her live with her aunts, and she can get some good influences. Our Baozhu is the only princess of this generation. , and must be on equal footing with girls from official families, so as not to lose the face of the royal family."

The sage nodded, and Baozhu couldn't wipe away her tears.

"Baozhu, come here." Shi Shi called Baozhu over, took the face towel from the palace maid and wiped her face.

"Bao Zhu, when you were choosing concubines for your three, four, and five emperor uncles in autumn, do you still remember those girls from official families writing poems and making paintings?"

Orb nodded.

"Is the literary talent of your aunts good?"

"it is good."

"When you are as old as they are, you will also go to the gatherings of girls from officials and eunuchs in Beijing. If others can write poems and do paintings, you are the only one who can't. The courtiers dare not speak of you in front of you. I'm going to laugh at you for being an idiot princess."

Because Baozhu is the only princess, she only has superficial respect for the aunts of the unmarried eldest princess.Shi Shi endured this matter for a long time, refraining from detaining Baozhu to Kunning Palace to teach, because she didn't want the sage to misunderstand that she was going to target Concubine Chen and Concubine Li.Concubine Li didn't read much, which was related to the fact that she entered the palace early, and also because her natal family only taught her to read some "Nv Commandments" and "Four Books for Women".Therefore, now Baozhu thinks that women don't serve as officials, and reading is useless, and it is out of ten that it was Li Concubine who said it in front of her.

Now that the sage proposed Baozhu's study, Shi Shi took the opportunity to cut off Li Bin's bad influence on Baozhu.Otherwise, Baozhu's knowledge is too poor in the future, and the sage should blame her for not fulfilling her aunt's upbringing responsibility.

While crying, Baozhu thought, if she was called an idiot princess by her courtiers, she would be too ashamed.

"Father, mother, sons and servants will study hard in the future."

The sage nodded, and Shi continued: "After school, I will go to my mother's home to do my homework first. You learn less now, and you will be able to catch up soon. If there is something you don't know, you can ask your elder brother Brother Erhuang, don't cry, your eyes won't look good if you cry."

After Tuji and Tupi finished school, they had to go to Kunning Palace to finish their homework before going to pay their respects to Concubine Chen.Sometimes Mrs. Shi would leave a meal, and play with Tu Dan and Tu Cheng after eating, and it was almost time to wash up and go to bed when I went back.

Seeing that Baozhu stopped crying, Shi asked the palace servants to wait for her to wash her face again, and gave Baozhu a few pairs of new and unique bead flowers, and she dressed up beautifully.

The saint nodded to Shi Shi, "You should pay more attention to teaching about the orb."

"Ming Yun, don't worry, we are just such a princess now, I will teach her carefully."

It was night, the sage stayed in Kunning Palace, and discussed with the empress about having a second-born princess, harmonious overnight...
