Chapter 117 It's Just a Coincidence
Xia Houying just watched from the beginning to the end. Jia Heng first got the information from the small officer named Cai Quan, and then snatched useful information from the clues, and then quickly judged the hiding place of the bandits.
It is just witnessing the process that makes me feel miraculous.
Especially the method of calculating the direction, the more you think about it, the more wonderful it becomes.
Qingshuang's bright eyes under Yingxiu's eyebrows flickered, and she looked at the young man in blue. For a moment, some doubts floated up in her heart, but she knew it was not the time to ask these questions, so she had to suppress it for the time being.
Jia Heng flipped through the thin booklet in his hand, then put it down, looked at Cai Quan, with a bit of worry in his calm eyes, and said: "You have to be on guard against the hundreds of households under your command, I guess Either there are people who hide bad things in it, or there are other people's eyeliner."
Letting Cai Quan go to suppress the bandits was probably the idea of Niu Jizong, an old family member of the Jia family, who was the governor of the regiment at the time.
Today's Chen-Han Twelfth Regiment Battalion was built in imitation of the Ming Dynasty. In name, the elite of the capitals of various provinces were selected to build it, but in fact, many honored cavalry children filled it, receiving money and food instead of serving in the army.
Chen Hanjing camp, where the twelve camps are divided into four military camps (Fen, Yao, Lian, Xian), four brave camps (Dare, Guo, Xiao, Gu), and four prestige camps (Li, Stretch, Yang, Zhen). One battalion governs about [-] soldiers, divided into five armies, three battalions of Shenshu and Shenji.
Each battalion is set up with a battalion commander, most of whom are Gonghoubo, with Tongzhi and Qianshi as military counselors, while generals and guerrillas are dispatched temporarily, and the number of leading troops varies during wartime. Training preparation.
And the son of Lord Zhen Guo is now the first-class Bo Niu Jizong, who is the governor of the Guoyong camp, and he is in charge of [-] soldiers and horses in name.
Cai Quan nodded and replied, "I still have a few trustworthy people under my command who are secretly watching them."
Seeing this, Jia Heng didn't say much, and instead asked: "How about the firecracker?"
He is actually interested in the firecrackers in this world.
At that time, Cai Quan took down a clarinet firecracker from the table beside him, and said, "This is the firecracker. It's called the bird blunderbuss. There are also three-eyed guns in the army, and they are not very easy to use."
Jia Heng stretched out his hand to take it, but felt that his hand was cold, rubbed it with a rough and difficult feeling, and thought to himself: "This shows Chen Han's smelting process."
"If you want to trigger it, you need to light a match, and it's very inconvenient to load the sub-drugs. If it's raining or wet, it's even more useless." Cai Quan added while seeing Jia Heng playing with the firecracker.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then said: "This firecracker is really inconvenient to use."
The development of military technology can often change the shape of war.
From the point of view of the smelting process, the gun tube technology is very general, but it is not to the point of being completely unusable. If the firing method is improved and it takes a lot of effort, it can actually move towards the flintlock gun.
If calculated according to time, the current European army has been equipped with low-cost flintlock guns on a large scale.
"In the original "Dream of Red Mansions", there is already a chime bell. It is clear that the Chen and Han Dynasty at this moment has some business contacts with Western countries through maritime trade."
It is impossible to improve and create any rifle.
Whether it's smelting technology or bullets, he can't solve it alone.
He is a soldier of later generations. Even if he is familiar with guns, it is impossible for him to surpass Chen Han's existing "industrial foundation" and make any military technology that is too far ahead.
If it is just to improve the current firecrackers, even if it is slightly easier to use, it can be done.
A certain big country did not solve the problem of uniform rifle standards until the 21st century, and used the IWC brand rifles.
Some things look inconspicuous, but there is an industry behind them.
"It's just that if you want to make flintlock guns, you have to go to the Military Weapons Supervision and communicate with the craftsmen over there." Jia Heng's complexion moved slightly, and he made up his mind. He looked at Xia Houying and said, "Commander Xia Hou, I'm quite interested in this firecracker, can Commander Xiahou take me to the Armory Supervision?"
Regarding the firecracker, it is better not to make too much fanfare, otherwise, even if it is made, it will only be used as a wedding dress for others.
It won't be too late to mention this when he really leads the training of the new army.
Such as training new troops, new equipment is definitely indispensable.
Xia Houying paused, and said: "There are craftsmen in the Military Weapons Supervisor, but Mr. Jia is going now? Your Highness will send the little princess into the palace later, and it won't be too long."
Jia Heng thought for a while and said, "Then go and see His Highness first."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Cai Quan exchanged glances with Dong Qian, both of whom could see the surprise in each other's eyes, as if he was asking this Commander Xiahou and who is the "His Royal Highness" in his mouth?
Dong Qian was also at a loss, obviously not knowing.
Jia Heng thought for a moment, then turned to look at Cai Quan, and said, "Brother Cai, has the army urged you when to leave?"
Cai Quan said sternly: "Brother Heng, at most it will be delayed until the day after tomorrow, if it is later, it cannot be justified."
Jia Heng pondered for a while, and said: "Then the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I will go to Chang'an County with you."
He went not only to help Cai Quan, but also wanted to see the combat power and morale of the soldiers in the Beijing camp. Only after seeing this weak brigade that could not even win against the Fan Kingdom in the West Sea, could he tell Emperor Chongping about the preparations for the construction of a new army. In the military strategy, it should be meaningful and powerful.
When Cai Quan heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Brother, if you go with me, you will be safe in suppressing the bandits."
Regardless of the fact that Jia Heng had roughly estimated the hiding place of the Cuihua bandits just now, it would be very difficult to wipe out the bandits with just a few hundred people under his command, not to mention that he needed to think of strategies according to the circumstances.
Jia Heng said: "You can't say that, you still have to expect the enemy to be lenient."
On this side, a servant in Cai Quan's mansion said, "Master, the food is ready."
Cai Quan greeted with a smile: "Brother, eat first."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'm going to see the nobleman later, it's not good to drink."
Cai Quan thought about the word "noble person", and then looked at Xia Houying at the side, feeling a little awe again in his heart. He hadn't realized just now, but now that he looked closely, the commander Xiahou was actually a woman?
So... from the palace?
He didn't dare to ask more questions, and greeted Dong Qian to sit down and have a meal.
Xia Houying waved her hand, but said she had eaten, then walked aside, took the map on the high table and looked at it, a flash of thought flashed in her cold eyes.
But he was still thinking about Jia Heng's positioning method, and felt that the more he thought about it, the more wonderful it became. He raised his eyes and looked at Jia Heng who was eating.
"How did he come up with it?" Xia Houying frowned Yingxiu, thinking: "Could it be from the history books? But why have I never heard of this method?"
On this side, Jia Heng finished his lunch without lingering, bid farewell to Cai Quan and Dong Qian, then got up, nodded at Xia Houying, and left Cai Quan's house together.
"You...where did you learn that?" Xia Houying frowned and said softly.
"What?" Jia Heng was thinking about the manuscript of the Three Kingdoms, but he didn't react for a while.
Xia Houying's cold eyes flickered under Liu Ye's eyebrows, and she said in a clear voice, "How could you think of using three forks to determine the location of the nest of thieves?"
"This... I figured it out as soon as I thought about it." Jia Heng said with a smile.
Xia Houying blinked, and looked at Jia Heng seemingly speechless.
What do you mean when you think about it?
Why didn't she figure it out?
Jia Heng smiled lightly, and said: "No matter how you think of it, it will be useful if it works."
Xia Houying was stunned for a moment, nodded, and instead of being entangled, she said quietly: "The gang of thieves also robbed His Highness's goods last time, His Highness was too annoyed last time, it's not that it's a pity for those treasures, Jingji San Auxiliary land, thieves plunder merchants."
Jia Heng said: "Then I can be regarded as expressing my anger for Her Royal Highness, but it's just that disasters have occurred year after year, thieves and thieves have been rampant, and the government and army can hardly control it, and it is not a long-term solution."
Thieves and thieves have long caused disasters to the localities, especially Sansuke, Gyeonggi, seriously damaging the prestige of the central government.
Xia Houying was silent for a moment when she heard the words, and said, "What Mr. Jia said is very true."
Perhaps after the chat just now, the originally cold and indifferent atmosphere became more relaxed.
Xia Houying walked forward and said, "The weather has been abnormally tight in the past few years. In June last year, there was snowflakes in Henan Province. Some people thought that some shocking injustice happened somewhere, and the astronomical warning came. The Holy Majesty and the cabinet issued an edict to instruct the Governor of Henan Province and the yamen of the Ministry of Justice to sort out the detention in prison and redress unjust cases."
The feudal society paid attention to the relationship between heaven and man. In the past two years of Chen Han, natural disasters have become more frequent.
Jia Heng was silent for a while, and said: "Yao has nine years of water, and he can still be regarded as an emperor. Tang has seven years of drought, and he can be king without harm. In order to change, accumulate more corn, prepare for famine and famine, just deal with it actively, there is no need to make prophecies, which are far-fetched."
That generation did not have smooth weather. The key is to work hard to deal with natural disasters and reduce the occurrence of man-made disasters.
Cannibalism between people is going to be in the history books.
Xia Houying's eyes moved slightly, and she said softly, "Mr. Jia's words are quite insightful."
Jia Heng smiled and said: "This is what the predecessors said, I just think it makes sense, and I regard it as a standard."
Feeling Zhuo Lun's demeanor of the young man's gentle gossip, Xiahou Ying's frosty jade face was stunned, nodded, and said: "Xiahou has been taught."
Jia Heng asked casually, "Where is Commander Xiahou from?"
Xia Houying said: "My ancestral home is from Jingzhao, and my father has inherited a family of Jinyiwei Qianhu. After I came to me, I was highly regarded by the Holy Majesty and His Highness, and was promoted to Jinyi Commander, but it was only a false title, and I did not receive a specific Jinyi ministry."
Jia Heng said softly: "It turned out to be a native of Jingzhao, but it's rare for a woman to be an official in Jinyiwei. Commander Xiahou has suffered a lot if he thinks about it."
Xiahou Yingyu paused for a moment, glanced at Jia Heng, and said lightly: "It's just a coincidence."
Seeing that she didn't seem to want to talk about her family background, Jia Heng didn't want to ask, and the two went quietly to the Princess Jinyang's mansion again.
