    Jia Lian was stunned. At such an emergency moment, local officers and soldiers should not change, lest it cause unnecessary panic.  Because he asked: "Is there any special reason?"

    Feng Tang nodded: "Well, the commander of the Fujian Guard Station escaped before the battle, which wasted the opportunity to fight. The commander of the Zhejiang Guard Station was not only suspected of corruption, but also acted as a protector and umbrella for profiteers, conniving at those profiteers to use copper wire, cotton, silk, gunpowder and other war preparations.  The supplies were resold to Japanese pirates and pirates at high prices."

    Jia Lian was very shocked: "They don't know that this is fighting against the enemy. The two armies are facing each other. Fighting against the enemy is like digging your own grave? You really need money rather than your life! But, in this precarious situation, what does the Zhejiang commander do with so much money?"  "

    Feng Tang sneered: "This idiot has raised three concubines, all of whom are Japanese girls. At such a sensitive moment, he dares to marry a Japanese girl. I heard that it was these Japanese girls who secretly supported the enemy. Pity him.  After ten years of poverty and twenty years of ups and downs in officialdom, he died because of female sex. It is really hard to describe."

    Jia Lian was immediately stunned. He actually risked all his wealth and life for a foreign woman?

    There is such a thing in the world?

    After Feng Tang returned, he reported Jia Lian's reply to Emperor Qianyuan word for word.

    Jia Lian's meaning is very clear. It is obviously not in line with the situation of the Yongding Army to transfer generals from other places to lead the Yongding Army. It is best for the commander of the Yongding Army to be formed on the sea. Only these generals who have been dealing with Japanese pirates for many years know best.  Japanese pirates.  Only they can know how to deal with Japanese pirates.

    ¡°Furthermore, if we want to achieve victory in the maritime areas, the imperial court will provide the greatest help in terms of supplies.  In the Fujian and Zhejiang regions, generals must also be given full autonomy.

    In a word, it is to let the commander-in-chief of Haijiang go to war on his own, and the court only needs to support the food and grass to the maximum extent.

    Emperor Qianyuan certainly knew that generals were very important to win the war, but he was worried about leaving the military and political affairs in Fujian and Zhejiang to a person with a different surname.

    Emperor Qianyuan knew that it was time to teach the Japanese pirates a lesson.  However, the person who leads the military and political power in Fujian and Zhejiang must be one of his own.

    But who should be allowed to go?

    Prince Xijun?  Now he is Prince Xi.

    Emperor Qianyuan could not live without him.

    The Prince of England?

    To be honest, Emperor Qianyuan had already tabooed him. Firstly, he had a good relationship with Prince Zhongyi, and secondly, Prince Ying had the same father and mother as him, and both of them had the same inheritance rights to Huang Wei.

    "Besides, Prince Ying was in poor health. Not only did Emperor Qianyuan not want to send him, he himself was not happy either.

    Finally, Emperor Qianyuan turned his attention to the four major princes.

    These people have eaten the imperial court because of their surnames, and have raised their respects for many years. Today, they should make them contribute to the court.

    However, Emperor Qianyuan didn't have an idea yet as to who to let him go.

    The next day is the day of the court meeting.

    Emperor Qianyuan first raised the emergency situation in Fujian and Zhejiang, saying that the maritime border situation had worsened. Many cities along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian had been captured by Japanese pirates. The people were massacred and all their property was looted.  The situation is critical. If we don't send troops, I'm afraid the Japanese pirates will invade the Forbidden City tomorrow.

    Then, Emperor Qianyuan said: "I have decided to gather troops and send troops to the sea to attack the Japanese pirates and eliminate them"

    As soon as Emperor Qianyuan said this, all the officials were excited, especially the military generals. They were all excited and eager to try.  Although there was Huang Zhongxiang before him, the combative factor in the blood of military generals was always ready to activate. If military generals want to make achievements, they must be baptized in war.  War will kill people, but it is also an opportunity to make achievements and gain a wife.

    However, when Emperor Qianyuan said: "But, who will lead the troops to the sea areas? I want to select one person from the clan to be a general, who is also the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and will take charge of the military and political power of Fujian and Zhejiang. What do the ministers think?"

    The officials were silent.

    This is an old rule of the imperial court.  The clan members held the seal of command, the generals shed their blood and sacrificed their lives. In the end, victory was won, and the credit goes to the commander-in-chief.  If you fail, the good outcome is that the defeated person will have his or her home confiscated and be sent to exile.  The unlucky ones may even have their homes ransacked and destroyed.  This was the case with the Chiang family, the mother-in-law of the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and all the loyal family members were wiped out.  In the end, what history praises is that Grandfather Tai-zu used his troops like a god and bravely won the three armies.

    When the Empress Dowager was still alive, people still mentioned the Chiang family. Now, who in the world still remembers the Chiang family?

    Emperor Qianyuan was usually very angry these days. Now when he saw the silence of all the officials, he suddenly felt a senseless anger: "Why are you all mute? You are usually very good at talking. You keep saying that you are king and minister, father, father and son."  , To benefit the country, now the imperial court is in danger, the king and father are in trouble, but you stand by and watch, this is your loyalty, filial piety and justice, this is yourIt's a bit difficult, let alone adding another Shui Ziying. The water patterns in Shui Ziying are good if they don't cause trouble. How can they cooperate with Shui Feng, a peach picker?

    To be honest, Emperor Qianyuan was still very confident in the formations trained by Jia Lian. He believed that if this team entered the battlefield, even if they could not eliminate the enemy to the maximum extent, they would still be invincible.

    Emperor Qianyuan's idea was very good. He planned to transfer the Kuizi Battalion from the Shui Ziying and the Musket Battalion from the Feng Sheng Army. The three reinforced battalions would form a capital and join the Purple Flag Army stationed in Fengtai. The Purple Flag Army  Proficient in various formations, Emperor Qianyuan did not worry about harmonious coordination.

    The only thing Emperor Qianyuan is worried about right now is Jia Lian causing trouble.

    On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, after several debates and deliberation, the court finally decided in accordance with Emperor Qianyuan's ideas that the Nan'an County Prince would lead the southern expedition.

    The King of Nan'an County was originally training troops in Fengtai and had 3,000 soldiers under his command. In order to make it easier for the King of Nan'an County to dispatch troops, these 3,000 soldiers became the core soldiers of the Southern Expedition.

    The news that the imperial court would transfer Shuiziying, Kuiziying, and Musketing Camp to form a new capital was formally handed down to Jia Lian by Feng Tang.

    Although Jia Lian knew it well, he responded fiercely: "What does this mean? Why don't you let me lead the army? Why don't you let Pingziying join the family to fight? They are the foundation and the backbone of the Yulin Army? You are so temporary  Changing generals is taking the safety of the soldiers as a trifle, I don¡¯t agree, and I want to protest in a paper!¡±

    Feng Tang hurriedly grabbed Jia Lian, who was about to go down the mountain angrily: "You are crazy. You haven't lifted the ban yet. You are resisting the decree by going down the mountain like this. Do you want to end up in jail for a small loss? Besides, your protest is useless.  Well, this is a public consensus formed after consultations between civil and military officials, and it is not arbitrary by His Majesty. Therefore, I advise you to accept the facts. As long as you are a good soldier, you will be a good soldier everywhere, and you will not be able to do it just because you leave.  You have to trust them."

    Jia Lian finally said: "I obey, but I recruited these soldiers. I am responsible for the soldiers. I want to revise my books and give advice. This is my duty as a minister. Please don't stop me and submit it for me."  In front of you."

    Jia Lian first fiercely opposed the division of troops, and then enthusiastically wrote a letter of invitation, willing to cooperate with the prince of Nan'an County in the southern expedition to the South China Sea.  Even if you don't become a captain, you can just be a captain of Pingziying.

    As a result, the memorial disappeared without a trace.

    On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jia Lian, according to his own arrangements, gave a holiday to the soldiers over fifteen years old who were not yet married. The soldiers who were married and had no children went home and worked hard to make babies. The soldiers who had children stayed in Xishan to garrison, waiting for the return of the first two groups.  Give them a break.

    Of course, Jia Lian himself was also among those left behind.

    "However, other soldiers can go home to rest after fifteen years of service. Jia Lian has not lifted the ban and cannot go home at all.

    The time soon came to the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.

    Suddenly the young eunuch Qin Quan came to Kyoto, but it was Emperor Qianyuan who lifted Jia Lian's ban and allowed him to enter the palace to attend the banquet of hundreds of officials.

    Jia Lian returned to Beijing with a depressed face, and went directly to the palace to kowtow to Emperor Qianyuan to thank him. Emperor Qianyuan had already gone to Qianqing Palace, but left a message for Jia Lian, asking him to put on the new clothes he had been given and go to the banquet.  Then he changed into a set of flying fish clothes gifted by Emperor Qianyuan in the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, and went to the hall to have a drink feeling refreshed.

    Emperor Qianyuan didn't seem to remember that he had just gained more military power. When he saw Jia Lian, he waved: "Come here, come here."

    Jia Lian did everything he dared to do, and stepped forward to kowtow to Emperor Qianyuan very cooperatively: "Wei Chen, thank you so much for Your Majesty's grace. You forgive me for your mistakes and reward me with official robes. I can't repay you, but I hope that I will  Good health and eternal prosperity!"

    Emperor Qianyuan raised his hand cheerfully: "Get up and sit with me. I'll talk to you when I have time."

    Jia Lian followed Shan Ruliu and sat next to Uncle Zhang.  Uncle Zhang looked at Jia Lian and nodded slightly: "Well done!"

    Jia Lian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you uncle for your thoughtfulness."

    "Sister Feng didn't know that Jia Lian had been lifted from the confinement. She was still thinking about whether to take the children to Xishan Mountain after returning. She might as well go there by herself. The children were too young and they all missed their father.

    Brother Cheng, Brother Hao, only needs to say that Dad can earn a future.  The three boys said "Oh", and then it was time to eat and drink.

    Sister Qiao¡¯er couldn¡¯t get rid of that girl, so she pestered Sister Feng to ask questions.

    ¡°Mom, when will my father come back to teach me how to ride?¡±

    ¡°Mom, why isn¡¯t daddy back yet?¡±

    ¡°Mom, did daddy promise to let me ride a horse last time?¡±

    "Mom, dad broke his promise and got fat!"

    "Mom, Mom, dad broke his promise and got fat, let's all ignore him!"

    ¡­¡­

    Sister Feng is really worried to death.

    She was worried when Zhen Yinglian suddenly said: "Second Aunt, look, why do I see Second Uncle Lian?"

    Sister Feng followed Zhen Yinglian's gestures and saw that Jia Lian had already begun to kowtow. However, not to mention the slanted face, Sister Feng could recognize him just by looking at his back.  Who is that guy who sticks his butt out and kowtows but isn't Jia Lian?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)bsp;Sister Feng is really worried to death.
