Chapter 938 Jia Heng: Let's take a look at that thing with the generals of Datong... (Ask for a monthly ticket at the end of the month!)
In the Xuan Mansion, in the study of the Zongbing Yamen——
Jiang Yu was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Just now the son of the head of the Kang family came to report the news, and the Marquis of Yongning might investigate the smuggling."
When Sun Shaozu heard the words, fear could not help showing on his face, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master Jiang, what should I do?"
Jiang Guan said in a deep voice: "The current matter can only be concealed as much as possible. If it is really impossible to conceal, then we can only..."
Sun Shaozu's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "Does your lord want it?"
Jiang Guan waved his hand and said, "You haven't reached that point yet, so you don't have to be nervous."
"The last general is afraid. The Marquis of Yongning is not easy to befriend." Sun Shaozu reminded.
Jiang Guan said: "You went to Shenjing to wait for Que'er's promotion, did you know why?"
Sun Shaozu said: "My lord, when this matter is brought up, the general will be furious. At first, he intended to rely on his friendship to cling to Jia's family, and gave 5000 taels of silver to Jia She, the mighty general of the Rongguo Mansion. Amnesty took the money and did not do anything, and the humble official wanted to get justice, but was taught a lesson by the Marquis of Yongning."
When it came to the end, the expression was quite indignant.
Jiang Yu said: "These founding warriors relied on the merits of their fathers and have always been domineering. I will defend the country in the Xuanfu. I don't know how hard it is to have them enjoy the glory and wealth in Shenjing."
Sun Shaozu seemed to be aroused by the anger in his heart, he patted the table, and said: "Your Excellency, I don't know how much money the last general spent in the court to make up for the lack left by this ancestor. empty."
Jiang Guan said: "Commander Sun calm down first."
He said with relief: "Then Boss Qiao doesn't want to promise his daughter to you. You have climbed up to such a rich father-in-law. If you want to be promoted in the future, it's just a matter of spending some money."
"I still need to take care of you." Sun Shaozu hurriedly got up and said with cupped hands.
"Commander Sun doesn't need to be too polite." Jiang Guan stretched out one hand and pressed down, motioning for Sun Shaozu to sit down, and said: "After a while, why don't I write a letter to General Jiang and transfer you to be a general, and wait for another two years , with credit, report to you as a deputy commander?"
When Sun Shaozu heard the words, he quickly declined and said: "My lord, I have lived in Datong for generations, and my family members are all in Datongwei. This Xuanfu may not be used to it."
Jiang Yu was not annoyed when he heard the words, and smiled and said: "If that's the case, then let's do it, but the business going to Liaodong should also be stopped recently, and don't let people catch it."
"Recently, the grassland has been full of wars and smoke, and this business is not easy to do. If the adults don't say it, it would have to stop for a while." Sun Shaozu explained.
"Then it would be the best." Jiang Yu nodded and said a few words in a low voice, then asked Sun Shaozu to go back and sit down, with a lingering worry in his heart.
After thinking about it, he went into the inner room of the study, took out the pen and paper, picked up the brush, and just as he wrote the pen, his face paused, a ball of ink immediately stained the paper, and he put the brush on the bookshelf beside him.
"It's not that urgent yet."
Jiang Guan's face was gloomy, and a feeling of irritability surged in his heart, and he said in a low voice.
Before the end of the day, the Jurchen surrendered hastily, and the town's lieutenant general was afraid and would not follow.
Datong
The season enters the late first month of the first month, and as it approaches February, the spring is bright and the sky is high and the clouds are light.
As far as the eye can see, there is no pollution from the industrial bases of the later generations. Looking up, the Cangshan Mountain is far away and verdant.
On the top of a city wall several feet high, with scars of knives and arrows on the blue bricks and stones, a red flag with the word "Han" fluttered in the wind. Overlooking, under the city gate with the word "Datong" engraved with ink-black stone seals, generals wearing wrought copper helmets and armor have already come out.
Datong General Soldier Jiang Zining, Participating Generals Liang Ge and Jiang Fan, Guerrilla General Cao Shao, and other generals, large and small, welcomed the arrival of the Great General Jia Heng.
In addition, Pang Shili, the general of the Yangwei camp who came first, also led his deputy Ding Xiang, and came out of the city gate to look at the cavalry of the Beijing camp.
The [-] cavalry troops of the Beijing Battalion are like a giant black and red dragon meandering forward. Flags come from a distance. The marching array is neat and quiet, only the neighing of horses and the clashing of sergeants' armor and knives and guns. Bad breath.
This Beijing camp, which has experienced the Central Plains War and the Jiangnan naval battle, has undoubtedly been honed in terms of combat power and discipline, and it gives people a chilling atmosphere in the quiet and silent.
Undoubtedly very oppressive.
This is also why Wang Chengyin's generals in Taiyuan saw the Jingying army with awe in their hearts. From the orderliness of the marching ranks and the indifferent expressions of the soldiers, it can be seen that today's Beijing camp is no longer the former Beijing camp with loose military discipline.
Jiang Zining stared at the generals of the Beijing camp, his heart trembled, and the generals of the Datong army behind him also looked at the cavalry of the Beijing camp in shock.
These tens of thousands of cavalry are the elite of the entire Han Dynasty, and they are supported by a whole country's national strength. They can be called the Guanning Iron Cavalry in the late Ming Dynasty.
And the big man in this parallel time and space naturally does not have such local warlord power. The armor and riding equipment were all in the Beijing camp back then, but now Jia Heng has rectified them, and they have regained the sacred glory of a century-old empire.
The Datong Town Army is naturally far behind.
"I'll meet Marshal Jie." Jiang Zining and the generals behind him saluted the boy in python suit on the horse.
Jia Heng, as the general who conquered captives, could naturally receive this gift right away.
However, in front of all the generals, Jia Heng still got off his horse, threw the reins of the horse to the guards in Jinyi, pressed the sword at his waist, strode forward, and supported Jiang Zining's arm.
"General Jiang please hurry up." Jia Heng laughed loudly.
Jiang Zining felt an overwhelming force coming from his arms, and his heart was even more awe-inspiring.
It was rumored that the Marquis of Yongning was extremely brave, he was good at wielding a broadsword, and successively captured Gao Yue, Duoduo and other bandit kings alive, and now he is really powerful.
In this era of cold weapons, unless fighting martial arts, strength is the key factor to evaluate the value of a general's combat power.
Jiang Zining took advantage of the situation and said, "The great general is the champion of the three armies. I met you today. Sure enough, you are even more famous when you meet."
Jia Heng said: "It's just a false name. After General Jiang was the founding Marquis of Wu, he spent more than ten years in the town of Datong. He has made great achievements."
The two complimented each other, and then the army welcomed into Datong City.
Jia Heng’s first impression of this city was the Wengcheng, which was designed as an Erdao city, surrounded by archery towers, Flang machine guns and firecrackers. Compared with Taiyuan City, it is mainly high and deep. , the builders of Datong City are even more ingenious.
Jia Heng led the army into the city, entered the Zongbing Yamen, and the Jingying cavalry entered the barracks of Datong one after another, and began to set up camp.
Jia Heng looked at Jiang Zining, smiled, and praised: "The defense of Datong City is well-organized, which shows that General Jiang leads the troops well."
These sides will face Jurchen directly. If you don't do a little homework, you will lose your head, so it seems that this journey is not as lax as the Taiyuan City guarded by Wang Chengyin.
Jiang Zining secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's bitterly cold at the border. We'll wait here to defend. Even though we dare not slack off, the soldiers are unbearable, and there are quite a few fugitives."
This is to lay an ambush in advance, and when the soldiers are inspected later, they will be able to speak.
Jia Heng nodded, sat down behind Shuai's case, and said, "What's happening on the grassland?"
Jiang Zining said: "General, the last general sent scouts to find out the news. Fighting has already started on the grassland. Hexiketeng is besieging Jurchen. The latest news has not come."
Jia Heng's eyes were as calm as water, and he said: "This time, the Jurchen came here with the intention of annexing Chahar Mongol to strengthen themselves. The so-called cold lips, if Chahar Mongol is annexed by Jurchen, Datong will think about it as if there were no major wars in the past few years. , it won’t work.”
Jiang Zining said: "What the general said is true, but the last general has few soldiers and dare not send troops to join forces with the Mongolian captives for fear of being taken advantage of by the enemy. Now that the general is leading the troops, I finally put this heart in my stomach gone."
Jia Heng looked at Jiang Zining, and when the latter was feeling uneasy, he suddenly asked, "How many soldiers are there in Datong City?"
Jiang Zining said softly: "Reporting to the general, there are fifty or sixty thousand troops."
Jia Heng stared at Jiang Zining, and said: "If I remember correctly, the imperial court will set a limit of [-], and the military salary and food fodder will be delivered with this amount every half month, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Zining bit the bullet, cupped his hands and said, "The general will report back."
Instead of waiting for the young man in front of him to find out, it is better for him to show his cards directly, otherwise the young man Wuhou in front of him will come with an army, once he finds out.
Jia Heng's expression was indifferent, and he said, "Speak."
"Since the last general guarded Datong, the soldiers have suffered from the border guards, and many of them have fled, and the generals have complained. The last general has no choice but to distribute the empty salary to the generals and soldiers, so as to strengthen the general's heart to resist "Jiang Zining said, knelt down on one knee, and said: "If you violate the laws of the country, I will ask the general to come down."
At this moment, the Datong generals behind Jiang Zining knelt down to ask him.
Jia Heng said: "Wait, are you going to try the law by yourself?"
This Jiang Zining is worthy of being the grandson of Marquis Pingyuan, who has guarded the border for decades, and has won the hearts of the army. If he kills a few people like he did with Wang Chengyin, it will not be conducive to the next big battle.
At this time, Liang Ge, Jiang Zining's general, also knelt down and said, "General, the imperial military department pays the salary every year, and it is often in arrears. If I don't wait for it, how can the soldiers survive?"
This is actually the truth, civil servants are not good people, when Yang Guochang was in charge of the household department, he mainly guaranteed the military salary of Ji Town, as for Datong, there has been no war for a few years, but the salary is not so urgent.
At this moment, Jiang Zining and the Datong Army General who was kneeling below were sweating, and the hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Jiang Zining was already sweating coldly on his back at this moment. He was betting at this moment that the Marquis of Yongning would not dare to come to Datong for the first time and kill the general immediately. Datong's [-] to [-] troops would not agree.
At this moment, Chen Xiao frowned slightly, and her clear eyes were full of worry. Looking at the young man in the python suit, he saw his cold eyes under his sword eyebrows, which seemed to be shrouded in killing intent.
Jia Heng gave a deep drink and said, "Jia Fang."
Chen Xiao was startled, and clenched the Xiuchun knife around his waist, thinking to himself, is he going to repeat the old trick and sacrifice the butcher knife?
"The end is here." At this time, Jia Fang entered the hall from under the eaves, her young and handsome face was full of evil spirits.
At this moment, Jiang Zining and the Datong Army General who was kneeling below were sweating, and the hall also fell into an eerie silence.
And the soldiers of the Zongbing Yamen were also very nervous at the moment.
Jia Heng said coldly: "Let's take a look at that thing with the generals of Datong."
Jiang Zining and the generals below breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became suspicious and fearful.
At this moment, Jia Fang went back and forth, holding a brocade box with another general, and then came to the hall, opened the brocade box, and suddenly there was a stench of blood, which was pungent.
Fortunately, in early spring, it was warm and cold, the temperature was not too high, and there were no maggots.
Because after Jia Heng beheaded Wang Chengyin and Shang Zhonggang, the general of Taiyuan, he went to Datong non-stop and blocked the news along the way, so the generals in Datong didn't know.
Jiang Zining's son, Jiang Fan, had sharp eyes and recognized the head in the brocade box at a glance, and said in surprise, "Wang Chengyin?"
And Jiang Zining also carefully identified it, looking at the head in the brocade box, he just froze in place, his hands and feet were cold.
Wang Chengyin's head?
At this moment, other Datong generals also showed fear and disbelief on their faces. Who in the border town did not know that Wang Chengyin, who claimed to have 13 soldiers, was beheaded right now?
"Wang Chengyin eats up his quota, and is greedy for millions of soldiers' pay. He has used the emperor's sword to enforce military discipline for me. Mr. Jiang, do you think I dare not kill you?" Jia Heng said, suddenly sternly shouted.
Jiang Zining's whole body was trembling at this moment, and the other leg that was originally propped up was bent down, his face was earthy, and he was frightened.
I only felt an awe-inspiring killing intent enveloped me, sweeping my body and mind.
Rebellious?Regardless of the question of whether it is too late or not, the family members still have the Pingyuanhou Mansion in the middle of Beijing.
At this moment, Pang Shili clasped his hands and said: "General, they are also forced to do so, there is still a reason for thinking, please forgive me, General."
At this moment, Jiang Zining's back was drenched in cold sweat, and he could hear the sounds of nature. The general of the Beijing camp actually begged him for mercy?
Maybe there is a turning point in this matter?
At this time, Xie Zaiyi, the general at the side, paused for a moment, and pleaded for mercy, clasped his fists and said, "Although the soldiers of Datong have violated the laws of the country and the military, there are still reasons for forgiveness. I ask the general to think that it is not easy for them to guard the border towns, so I will send you off lightly." .”
Seeing Xie Zaiyi, several generals in the Beijing camp also begged for mercy, and one or two came out to intercede.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ling had a thoughtful look on her crystal-clear and beautiful face, and immediately pursed her pink lips, and glanced coldly at the boy in the python suit, feeling a faint realization in her heart.
Jiang Zining couldn't kill him, at least not now.
As he said, there is indeed something to report about the empty quota, and he is not as stupid as Wang Chengyin, who doesn't know how to buy the morale of the army. Generals like Jiang Zining know how to act with righteousness and bind themselves with the generals.
Jia Heng said in a cold voice: "The country's law is brilliant, how can we allow you to conceal evil from each other, but I think there is something to be sympathetic to when you are guarding the border in bitter cold, but death is inevitable, and life is inevitable."
Jiang Zining's complexion changed slightly. Hearing this, hope was ignited again in his heart.
"Jiang Zining is now removed from the post of the general of the Datong Army. All the remaining generals will be dismissed according to their crimes and sent to the army to serve. If there is a crime, the two crimes will be punished together. If there is merit, the previous things can be forgotten." Jia Heng said with a smile on his face. Bingshuang said in a cold voice, looked at Song Yuan aside and said, "Master Song, write a military report and deliver it to Shenjing, with the details here."
Jiang Zining's limbs felt weak at this moment, and he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, General, for your kindness."
The generals behind him also bowed again.
Jia Heng suddenly shouted, "Pang Shili, where is the second general Xie Jing?"
"The end is here." The second general answered loudly.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Take over the army in Datong Town, re-check and re-train."
"Yes, General." Pang and Xie clasped their fists in response, then turned and left.
At this moment, Jiang Zining's face was ashen, and his thoughts were complicated and inexplicable. He was going to seize his military power.
He was a little smart in the past, and wanted to blackmail a general who came with a large army.
No, with Wang Chengyin's fate, if he didn't, he might have to repeat the same mistakes.
Jia Heng looked indifferent, and said: "Jia Fang, help General Jiang get up."
Jia Fang obeyed, and then supported Jiang Zining and the generals present with the guards.
Jia Heng looked at Jiang Zining aggressively, and said in a deep voice: "In the past, you were stationed in border towns. In the bitter cold, soldiers were not easy to come by, and the Jiang family is the descendant of Marquis Pingyuan, who founded the country. This Marquis Nian is worthy of forgiveness for the loyalty of Pingyuanhou and his son, but the Jurchens are coming so fiercely, it is time for us Wuxun disciples to fight for the country and serve the country, I hope you can do it yourself!"
When Jiang Zining heard the words, his heart was complicated and inexplicable, and he cupped his hands and said, "We will do our best to serve the community and live up to the glory of our ancestors."
Jia Heng said: "Now discuss the matter."
As he said that, Li Shu, Wei of the Jinyi Mansion, unfolded the map from the side. This time, it was not only the map of Datong, Ping'an Prefecture and other places, but also the survey map of the grassland and Mongolia. It was obviously the survey map of the Jinyi Mansion.
In fact, Jia Heng has been actively preparing for this war since the beginning of the year. Although he didn't know that there would be a war this year, he was also planning for the future.
Chen Xiao looked at the young man who was acting vigorously and with all his wrists out, his clear eyes flashed, and his heart was clear.
This is to win the hearts of the Jiang family for the time being, and the descendants of Marquis Pingyuan are indeed different from ordinary town generals. They cannot be dealt with hastily and need to be reported to the capital.
In fact, Jia Heng just thought that Jiang Zining's soldiers and horses were impressive, and if Jiang's family was dealt with severely, it might affect the morale of the army.
Jiang Zining was barely able to use it. If he didn't rub the sand in his eyes, it would cause a state of panic in the entire border town and easily provoke a mutiny.
Ningxia, Yulin, and Xuanfu all have empty quotas.
Jia Heng looked at the map at this moment and said: "This morning, information came from the grassland that the Heshigten tribe has surrendered to the Jurchen, and the Chahar Mongols are in danger of being destroyed in an instant. Our Han army wants to contact Ezhe as soon as possible. They may It will retreat to Datong and Xuanfu, and Jurchen will definitely have ambushes to attack."
The three tribes of Naiman, Aohan, and Hexigten originally bordered on the Jurchen and had a close relationship. When the Jurchen invaded and plundered the Han, the first two tribes even sent their own strongmen to join the Eight Banners of Mongolia to participate in the robbery, while the Hexigten tribe will also be involved.
But Kexiketeng didn't have the guts to rebel against the Golden Family, but now that the situation was imminent, he could only submit half-heartedly.
So except for the already defeated Sunit and Ezhe of Chahar Mongolia, there are only four Otoks and the troops of the headquarters, which can be said to be quite weak.
Jia Heng said: "Now, gather all the cavalry, form a team, and go out to support Chahar Mongolia."
Chahar Mongolian belongs to the nomadic people. They did not build their cities on the grasslands. They just lived in grasslands and grazed along the Xilamulun River.
The faces of the generals in Datong Town changed suddenly.
Jia Heng said, looked at Jiang Zining, and asked, "How many cavalry troops are there in the city?"
"Back to the general, there are 500 cavalry troops." Jiang Zining said, not daring to neglect, cupping his hands.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Six thousand and five hundred people are not a lot. In the past two or three days, the elite will be selected. General Jiang and the generals of Datong will go with the army to observe the situation of Chahar Mongolia, and to support Chahar Mongolia and move closer to Datong. "
Huang Taiji would definitely not be happy to go out of the fortress to meet Chahar Mongolia. At that time, the entire East-West Front War would break out together.
And Huang Taiji's opponent will turn into a big man.
Xuanfu, Datong, Ping'an Prefecture, and even Jizhen and Beiping will become the focus of Jurchen's attack, forcing the big man to take care of himself.
However, assistance to Chahar Mongolia is necessary. Now Chahar Mongolia has lost half of Otok. [-] cavalry, this is the Duoyan Sanwei of his big man.
After the task of training the generals of the Beijing camp was arranged, it was already dusk.
The Zongbing Yamen has now become the residence of Jia Heng, the great general who conquered captives. The lights are brightly lit, and decorations have begun.
Jia Heng also had dinner with Chen Xiao, and the orange candlelight spread and dyed the whole room like water.
Chen Xiao said: "Are you really going out?"
"Otherwise, what are you going to do with so many cavalry?" Jia Heng picked up the chopsticks and said in a low voice, "I have to meet the Jurchens."
Chen Xiaodao: "The Jurchen cavalry is not easy to deal with either."
Jia Heng said: "Try it first, maybe you won't meet it, even if you meet it, this is a chance for me to test the strength of my cavalry army."
"Where is Ping'an Prefecture?" Chen Xiao said.
Jia Heng said in a low voice: "Let's just wait, don't give these slave chieftains a loophole, they won't be fooled, probably they won't attack Datong head-on, and I'm actually a little worried about the Xuanfu."
When he was going to Datong, he deployed an additional cavalry at Ningwuguan, not many, about [-] cavalry, ready to meet Cai Quan's Hongyi cannon team. The barbarian cannons were deployed in Ping'an Prefecture.
But Cui Ling in Ping'an Prefecture will not move for now. Shuozhou is the defense of Jin, and it can reach Taiyuan directly. After Huang Taiji's setback in Datong City, will he be tempted?
"Follow the brocade clothes of Kang Yisheng's son, Kang Zexing, and report that Kang Zexing has fled to the Xuanfu, and from what the Zhongshan wolf in the Xuanfu said, Kang Zexing is indeed in the Xuanfu, and it seems to be encouraging the Xuanfu's chief soldier, Jiang Yu, to surrender to the Jurchen." Chen Xiao When it comes to Zhongshan wolf, I always feel a bit awkward.
Jia Heng frowned slightly, and said, "Jiang Tuan colluded with Jurchen?"
Chen Xiao nodded, and said: "The relationship is far closer than ordinary people. In contrast, although Datong also has smuggling, it has not contacted the Jurchen high-level."
Jia Heng said: "The Jiang family is the honor of the country, so they don't have the courage to do things like collaborating with the enemy's country, but they entrust merchants to smuggle, and they are also responsible for a lot of crimes."
With Sun Shaozu as an undercover trump card, he knows the smuggling situation of Jiang Zining, the general of Datong, and the generals.
There was smuggling, but it did not go to the point of collusion with the Jurchens. Armaments and food were not smuggled, but salt, wine, etc. were still smuggled to Mongolia through the Qiao family and the Qu family. Of course, some Jurchens might also have gone to them.
It didn't happen in the Yatang just now, because the generals and schools in Datong were involved, and the big battle was imminent, so it was not appropriate to go to war.
"What about Xuanfu? Sooner or later it will be a hidden danger." Chen Xiaorou said.
Jia Heng said: "The Xuan Mansion, I may need to go there in person. The Xuan Mansion must not be lost. By the way, what about the Shanxi Merchants, to find evidence of their smuggling?"
"I said later that I was active in raising food and grass. It shouldn't be hard to find evidence of the Kang family's crimes. Let's do it now?" Chen Xiao said.
Jia Heng said: "Stay still, don't be alarmed, the Xuan Mansion is the hardest-hit area for their smuggling, let Xie Zaiyi lead Wanqi to go there overnight, take down the Xuan Mansion, and solve this hidden danger in advance, Qu Lang is here There."
Ping'an Prefecture is where he fishes, but Xuan Mansion is not. Once it is broken, the entire east-west line node will become passive.
In fact, the Xuan Mansion at this moment is already undercurrents.
The last chapter has been modified, refresh it again.
At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, I was so sleepy that I wanted to modify it, so I clicked publish in a daze.
