The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But it was said that Wei Ruoheng was patrolling the spinning machine workshop that day, when he suddenly heard the whistle, it was the whistle letter from his own guard outside, so he hurried out.It turned out that someone from Shuizhai came to report an urgent matter. There was a fat young man who claimed to be an old friend of Hanshan Temple, and his wife had let them go to the island.Although Wei Ruoheng knew that Jia Cong had no ill intentions towards his family, and he had saved his wife's life, he was worried and hurried back to the water village.

When I got outside the study, I saw the door was wide open, and the two brothers guarding the door were happily looking inside, so he also looked behind.It turned out that Jia Cong was arguing with their two leaders which is more useful, Wen or Wu.There is no solution to this kind of debate, but how can Jia Cong's tongue be compared to that of a dude?The two-headed leader choked when he moved and was speechless.However, the brothers in their water village didn't help each other, they all watched the excitement from the sidelines.Wei Ruoheng shook his head with a smile and coughed.Seeing him coming, the second leader immediately shouted, "Fifth Lord!"

Jia Cong smiled, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Fifth Master, don't come here without any harm! I heard that my wife is already happy, so I came here to ask for a thank you gift."

Wei Ruoheng couldn't help being overjoyed immediately: "It's easy to say, easy to say!" and walked in.

Jia Cong said: "My eldest nephew is about to turn one year old. We brought a little belly bag for the little guy. My fourth sister went to see my wife just now, and it has already been sent there."

Wei Ruoheng was overjoyed, and bowed to the ground: "Thank you, Third Master!"

"Fifth Lord, you are welcome!"

Everyone sat down again.Wei Ruoheng's worried thoughts were instantly scattered by Tuantuan's bellyband, he smiled and served good tea again, and asked, "What's the matter with the third master?"

Jia Cong said: "It's all right. After congratulating my nephew on his first birthday, I went back to the south. I passed by Suzhou. I came to have a look when I remembered you. By the way, the book was given to Wei Ruolan. By the way, I praised you, and he returned it to you." I am quite ambitious, saying that I want to study hard and hope that I will not be weaker than you in the future."

Wei Ruoheng smiled and said, "Swallows under the eaves."

Jia Cong said: "He's pretty good among the dandies, and he shoots arrows well."

Wei Ruoheng said indifferently: "He is good at shooting targets, let him try shooting at a living thing?"

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "Fifth Master, can you be reasonable? I'm a young master who only hunts and hunts. How can I have the opportunity to practice with real swords and guns? Even if I want to learn the art of war, I don't have anyone under my command!"

Wei Ruoheng glanced at him: "The third master came to Taihu Lake just to talk about this?"

"Not only." Jia Cong said, "A few days ago I personally went to Chenzhou to persuade King Chen to go south to Qiongzhou, and joined forces with Nan'an County King Huo Sheng to attack Dongying Kingdom."

Wei Ruoheng frowned and said, "Where are the Japanese pirates?"

"Exactly."

Wei Ruoheng said: "Does King Chen want to occupy Dongpu?"

Jia Cong said: "That's not true. It's just that they are short of money. They are going to rob. With Dongying's current national strength, it is not difficult to think about it. When they finish the robbery and come back with the silver box, if King Wu is jealous, please help the fifth master." A few words. Although there are many places to grab, there are quick hands and slow hands."

Wei Ruoheng thought for a moment and said: "It's not difficult, King Wu is greedy and loves money. I hope you, Mr. Chen, can help too."

"Chen Ruiwen." Jia Cong held his cheek and thought for a while, "It's easy to handle, he himself is short of money."

"Moreover," Wei Ruoheng said, "Third Master, what would be better for King Wu to fight?"

Jia Cong said sadly: "It turns out that Dongying is the closest. Or go to Korea? I don't want to give it up to the King of Lu. Goryeo is the closest to the King of Liao, but I just want to find an opportunity to persuade him to pretend to be a bandit and rob Russia."

Wei Ruoheng said: "Russia is too big, and its folk customs are also strong, it is hard to match with the strength of Liao Kingdom alone."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "You don't know. The next ruler of Russia is a foolish monarch. There should have been a powerful female emperor who took the throne, but my fourth sister has already disturbed her. If this foolish monarch stays in power until old age, the country will be fine." Deal with it tightly."

Wei Ruoheng had long believed that he was playing in the lower realms of heaven and man, so he was not surprised, and said: "Since you said 'the next king', this one is still not bad? Wait until the next king succeeds, and then ruin the country for a while, don't you?" Let’s talk about ten years. Although the Liao Kingdom is big, it is also poor, and it rejects foreign captives from the north. I have some admiration for the king of Liao’s willingness to go there.”

"It makes sense, he is more short of money than others." Jia Cong said, "Since that's the case, Goryeo should give it to them."

Wei Ruoheng said: "As far as Wu Guo is concerned, Dongying is indeed the closest. Dongying is not small. If you think about it, with the idea of ​​King Chen and Prince Nan'an, you won't be able to grab all of them?"

Jia Cong clapped his hands together: "It's true! Although the cake is small, you can't finish it in one or two bites."

Wei Ruoheng smiled and cupped his hands and said, "On the other side of Nan'an County King, I hope the third master will mediate a little bit, don't think we are going to grab business."

Jia Cong laughed and said, "I'm leaving soon, you can only take the second wave."

Wei Ruoheng said: "Speaking of it, we are closer to that country. There are also many small countries in Nanyang, why don't Lord Huo choose one of them nearby?"

Jia Cong gave him a sideways look: "I have been preparing for a long time, and I also checked the terrain and military defense."

Wei Ruoheng frowned: "I've seen the map hung by the third master in Yanwang's mansion. Huo Sheng has a good appetite. He wants to vote for Dongpu before the others recover. As for the small country in Nanyang, he In Qiongzhou, who else is more convenient than him?"

Jia Cong smiled and clapped his hands and said, "What did I say? The hands are fast, but the hands are slow."

Wei Ruoheng looked at him with a smile: "What about you?"

Jia Cong said: "Sell boats, sell firearms, and be everyone's solid backing."

Wei Ruoheng nodded: "I see."

Jia Cong said again: "It may be too early to say. There is a place called Sacramento in California, North America. There is a huge gold mine, and it is easy to mine. It is almost gold when you open the ground."

Wei Ruoheng thought for a while: "It's not too early. Just let this matter to a few princes quietly, and don't let ordinary people know."

Jia Cong said: "I originally wanted to spread the word when Huo Sheng came back, and even pointed out that ordinary people went to pan for gold."

Wei Ruoheng glanced at him: "Without soldiers and horses to clear the way, are the unarmed people going to be beaten to death by Westerners?"

Jia Cong said: "They immigrated there not long ago, and their number is very small, only about two to three million. The local people over there have been wiped out by them, almost extinct. The number of people in my dynasty is a hundred times that of Westerners. Gold, will It drives people crazy. Without this temptation, how many ordinary people are willing to leave their homes?"

Wei Ruoheng said: "Gold will drive people in my court crazy, and it will also drive Westerners crazy. You just tell the princes where there is gold, and the princes go to beat down that place first, and ordinary people go there, isn't it appropriate? ? Third Master, why worry? You have cast the bait in the old year, and the fish have seen it, just wait for them to slowly swim past."

Jia Cong was stunned, and smiled wryly: "It's true that I acted too hastily. The fifth master is right. We have the advantage in numbers. We just need to improve firearms and produce them ourselves, so we won't be afraid of millions of Westerners." Nai stood up He made a long bow to Wei Ruoheng, "Thank you, Fifth Lord, for reminding me."

Wei Ruoheng said with a smile: "Third Master, you are welcome." He ordered a banquet to be held in the village.

Although it is the place of water bandits, because Taihu Lake is rich in products, the dishes on the table are all delicious, and everyone is full of praise.Wei Ruoheng is also quite face-to-face, taking advantage of the wine, he wrote a poem and urged Jia Cong.Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "I'm really not a literati. I have to study as a last resort, and I don't need to be with my friends." Wei Ruoheng laughed loudly.

When the wine was empty, a water bandit came up to pour wine for Jia Cong, but no one paid attention.Hearing a "clang", a golden vessel fell to the ground, and Jia Xu had already grabbed the water bandit and knelt down on the ground.Jia Cong was bewildered, he didn't see clearly what happened just now, and he said after a long time: "Huh? What are you doing?"

Jia Xu snorted: "This kid wants to stab you, but the knife is quite accurate."

Jia Cong was stunned again, and said aggrievedly: "Who have I provoked recently? Why do people always want to kill me! They are all people I don't know."

Looking up to see Wei Ruoheng, Wei Ruoheng looked shocked, obviously ignorant, and asked sharply: "Mute Liu, what are you doing?

Liu Dumb struggled with all his strength, but Jia Xu's palm was like iron pincers, and he couldn't move for a moment.

Jia Cong walked around him a few times, squatted down again, looked at his face and said, "He really doesn't look like a Jiangsu native."

Seeing that he didn't blame him, Wei Ruoheng felt relieved, and said: "His grandfather and father were ordinary fishermen by the Taihu Lake. Because they couldn't speak when they were young, people called him dumb. They didn't learn until they were seven or eight years old. say."

Jia Cong took a closer look at this person again: "It's not like. Ruoheng, you go ask his parents, I suspect that this person was adopted."

He called "Ruoheng" naturally, Wei Ruoheng twitched his brows slightly, and asked in surprise, "How does the third master know?"

Jia Cong said: "Guess. The eyebrows, the shape of the face, especially the ferocious attitude after being caught by someone, looks like something in a Japanese drama...well, it looks like a Japanese. Maybe it's because of something. After the Japanese pirates who came to our dynasty, he didn't know how to speak my dynasty at first, but he gradually learned it."

A water bandit nearby said: "He really doesn't look like his father."

Another said: "It's not like his mother or his sister."

Jia Cong asked, "Do they have a son?"

Someone said: "It's gone, there is only one son. He has three older sisters."

Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "That's it. Three daughters were born in a row, and Lao Liu was looking forward to having a son, so he picked one up." Then he sat back on the chair and took a sip of the wine from Jia Xu sitting next door, and looked at it with a smile. Looking at Liu dumb, "Am I right?"

It took Liu Dumb a long time to say: "What is the enmity between my mother country and you?"

Jia Cong stood up abruptly, and said coldly: "Then why does my mother country have any enmity with you? The Japanese pirates killed my people and plundered my city for hundreds of years? After a hundred years, you will slaughter unarmed people in Jinling City for four days and four nights." There are more than 30 people, what is the injustice and hatred? You killed nearly [-] million of our people in the eight-year war, what is the injustice and hatred!"

Everyone was shocked!Wei Ruoheng asked anxiously, "What is the meaning of the third master?"

Jia Cong clasped his fists at him and said, "Brother Wei, I thought I would talk to you quietly after the banquet is over. If you go to other places, it's fine; if you go to Dongying, please don't be soft-hearted, kill as much as you can, kill Do your best!"

Liu dumb hoarsely shouted: "Aren't you afraid of retribution from gods and Buddhas?"

Jia Cong sneered and said, "Retribution? Why aren't you afraid of the retribution of gods and Buddhas? In order to seize the land, the Westerners killed tens of millions of American Indians, and they wiped out the population several times that of our country. Retribution? After 200 years, they will be the most powerful country in the world!" Then he looked at Wei Ruoheng with a smile and said, "Brother Wei, don't worry, there will be no retribution for killing foreigners."

Wei Ruoheng's face was gloomy and cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, third master, even if there is retribution, it's only with me, so it doesn't matter if I get retribution."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "There will be no retribution, you just trust me."

Wei Ruoheng nodded: "I believe in you." Nai looked around, "I want to ask the King of Wu to attack Dongying, are there any brothers who are willing to follow?"

The water bandits all around said in unison: "Follow Fifth Master to the death!"

"Okay!" Jia Cong said loudly, "For the sake of future generations, destroy these little devils!"

Everyone then shouted: "Kill these little devils!"

Mute Liu struggled again and shouted: "Fifth Master can't believe his rumors to confuse people! My mother country won't do it!"

Jia Cong sighed, looked at Wei Ruoheng and said, "Do you know why his mother country came to attack us?"

Wei Ruoheng said: "For looting?"

Jia Cong shook his head: "No, it's for the survival of the descendants." Seeing everyone's doubts, he explained, "The other country is too small, and there are many volcanoes and glaciers. There is little arable land, and naturally there are few products. If they are able to have children, they will have something to do. When there are too many people, there is not enough food to eat. The other country is originally composed of several large islands. In the past, when the population increased and the things were scarce, they would fight among themselves and kill each other. More than half of the population or more, and enough to eat. Later, when there were good ships that could cross the sea, they came to us to plunder and became Japanese pirates. A hundred years later, the ships were much better than they are now, and they could carry thousands of soldiers across the sea. There are extremely powerful firearms that can knock down the gates of the city. Therefore, they don’t need to fight with themselves. They can transport people to our dynasty by boat. The lord of the country has a strategy for our dynasty, called the strategy of three lights .Burn, kill, and rob. Expect to kill all the people of our country and occupy our country just like the Westerners killed all the Americans."

Everyone in the room gasped, their faces sank like water, but they all clenched their fists.

Jia Conglue stopped, took a sip of wine, and continued: "Brother Wei, I just said that only the people of Dongying Kingdom must try their best to kill them. This is the reason. If they want their children and grandchildren to have food, they must invade Other countries. And I am the closest to them. It is useless for you to conquer their generation. If this generation is conquered, what about the descendants? Not to mention that they can let them remember you, Wei Ruoheng, from generation to generation. , you died early at that time, and it’s useless to remember. When people have nothing to eat, if they don’t fight, they will starve to death. When the emperor is in power and the people are in dire straits, what should they do if they can’t beat their descendants? Even if they win in a hundred years, what will happen in 200 years? There have always been emperors in power in all dynasties, and our dynasty will inevitably. It will only get better and better. Brother Wei, we will die with Dongying, either they will die or we will die, and we will never die."

Wei Ruoheng was silent for half a cup of tea, and smiled lightly: "Then why ask? Of course they are dead."

Jia Cong stopped talking, bent down and bowed to Wei Ruoheng: "Jia Cong thanked General Wei on behalf of future generations!"

On the side, Jia Xu raised the knife and beheaded Liu Dumb in the hall. Blood gushed out and immediately splashed half of the room.

The water bandits all around shouted in unison: "Die for the fifth master!"

Wei Ruoheng's eyes were heavy, as if a god of killing had descended from the realm, he turned his back and cupped his fists towards Jia Cong: "I will live up to your entrustment, sir."

Jia Cong bowed to the ground again: "Thank you again, General."
