The Red Mansions

Chapter 245

In the next half month.

Jia Yun leaves early and returns late every day, heading to Fengtai camp outside the city.

The Fengtai camp expanded its army again, and the source of troops was still selected from among the refugees, but it saved many lives.

After the expansion of the army, each of the original guards expanded from four thousand households to six thousand households.

The total strength of the five guards is 600 people, plus a pro-army thousand households,

The total strength of Fengtai Daying reached 720.

To this end, Jia Yun set up a special training camp for recruits.

These recruits will still have to go through three months of common subject training, and will be assigned to various guards after passing the assessment.

At the same time, Fengtai Daying officially launched winter training to conduct professional subject training.

Cavalry, infantry, artillery, muskets, spears, luggage, etc., are trained according to their respective arms.

Every hundred households has a teacher.

The instructor of the training was Jia Yun, who spent a lot of effort to play the role of the emperor, asked Jin Yiwei to assist, and was a veteran veteran who was seconded from the Nine Frontier Army Town.

These people will serve as coaches in Fengtai Daying for three years.

Three years later, whether they go or stay is entirely voluntary, and Jia Yun will not stay here.

Maybe, by then, Jia Yun would no longer be the admiral of Fengtai Daying.

After half a month of running-in, the Fengtai camp gradually entered the right track, while Jia Yun consciously delegated power and let the commanders of the guards lead the training.

Facing Fengtai Daying, Jia Yun didn't want to hold it in her hands.

If it is in a border town, then he has a high possibility of turning the army into a private army.

But this is the capital city, so there is no need to do more.

Some things are not beautiful if they are held too tightly, and the way to relax and retract freely is the kingly way.

In the barracks, Jia Yun came out of the room after finishing her official duties, only to see the sun sneaking out from the dark clouds at some point.

The white snow is shining brightly under the sunshine, the world is less chill and bleak, and more quiet and beautiful.

After leaving the barracks, Jia Wenlin and her personal guards had been waiting for a long time.

Now, Jia Yun's personal guards have made up five hundred.

The supplementary people are all elites who have been carefully selected from thousands of households who are close to the army and have clean family backgrounds.

Jia Yun took the reins, got on the horse, waved the whip, and galloped through the slush against the wind.

"Boom!"

Hundreds of horses are galloping, wading across the earth like a torrent, splashing thousands of muddy water, splashing into fog.

Outside Xizhimen.

"My lord, look over there!" Jia Wenlin pointed with a horsewhip not far away.

Jia Yun naturally saw it.

Pieces of thatched huts, covered by thick snow, spread out beyond sight.

The refugee camp is full of filth and stench, no matter how heavy the rain or snow falls, it cannot hide it.

The crowds were crowded, and many refugees wanted to get out of the refugee camps and go to the city to look for food.

However, the entrances and exits in all directions were closely watched by the soldiers of Bingmasi.

If anyone dares to break in by chance, they will be greeted by cold arrow rain and big swords.

Many people died, mostly from freezing.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence that Jia Yun came here, and in less than a stick of incense, he saw Bing Masi carrying out fifty or sixty frozen corpses from the refugee camp.

"My lord, my subordinates have heard that three or four thousand refugees have died in the capital in the past month." Jia Wenlin cupped her hands.

"The subordinates felt that after the adults ignored the soldiers and horses, their level of governing the people has dropped a lot!"

Jia Yun said with a blank expression: "So what, I'm in his position and looking for his own government. I'm no longer the patrolling censor, so I won't meddle in other people's business!"

In fact, Jia Yun, as one of the supervisory censors in Beizhili, can still manage the soldiers and horses.

Northern Zhili supervised the censors, read papers in Beijing, inspected Beijing camps, supervised Linxiang, examinations and martial arts, inspected Guanglu, inspected warehouses, inspected Neiku, Imperial City, Five Cities, and took turns on Dengwengu.

Correct and impeach all officials, inspect prefectures and counties, supervise the activities of the Ministry of Punishments and Dali Temple, correct punishments and prisons, be directly responsible to the emperor, and even settle some cases with major influence.

Although the official rank is not high, officials who violate the law and discipline and are incompetent can be impeached.

In fact, this is also an errand that specifically offends people, and if it is not done well, it will be retaliated against.

Jia Yun is not afraid of offending others, nor is she afraid of retaliation.

But he's not stupid, he won't get involved in things that don't benefit him.

Now that he has achieved political achievements and fame, he doesn't need to charge forward and become a knife in the hands of others.

In addition, he holds Fengtai camp with more than 3 people in his hand, and no one will mess with him casually.

Therefore, Jia Yun would turn a blind eye to many things as long as his interests were not infringed upon.

This may be a bit cold-blooded, but there are so many things in the world, can he manage it alone?
If you really want to take care of it, it's better to keep your useful body. After you reach a high position, start from the national level to benefit the people.

Of course, although Jia Yun's words were ruthless, after seeing so many people being frozen to death, there were still waves in her heart.

After all, these people are not enemies on the battlefield, but ordinary people...

early winter.

Heavy snow continues to fall, and this winter is colder than previous years.

The sky is bright.

Jia Yun, Xue Baochai, and Xue Baoqin were still too lazy to get out of bed, talking under the quilt.

"In a few days, my brother is going to hold a wedding, and I want to go to my mother's house to stay in advance for a while." Xue Baochai threw herself into Jia Yun's arms and discussed.

Xue Baoqin said: "I want to go too."

"All right, I'll take you there today." Jia Yun stroked Xue Baoqin's plump body, nodded and smiled.

Xue Baochai said: "It's a pity that the husband has to be with the woman, otherwise it would be great to go to Xue's house."

As she spoke, she took advantage of Jia Yun's strengths, and snickered mischievously and mischievously.

Jia Yun squinted at her and reminded: "Don't make trouble, you will give birth in two months at most, but you can't mess around right now, bear with it, just give birth and it will be fine."

Xue Baochai sighed, "It's really torturing me!"

"Brother-in-law, I'm fine, let's play!" Xue Baoqin said with a smile.

As she spoke, she turned her body sideways, pouted her hips, and turned her head to smile at Jia Yun.

Jia Yun snorted, glanced at Xue Baochai, saw her blinking her moist eyes, and smiled at the corners of her mouth, without stopping her, so she hugged her sideways from behind Xue Baoqin, raised her waist and arched her...

Before he could move, Xue Baochai hugged Jia Yun from behind again.

Well now, all three of them were lying on their sides, facing the same direction.

Xue Baoqin took a deep breath, closed his eyes, feeling very fulfilled, with a contented expression on his face.

"Brother-in-law, this feeling is so infatuating!" Xue Baoqin whispered, her face flushed.

The quilt was extraordinarily warm, with the scent of a woman.

The quilt leaked air from time to time, but the temperature in the quilt was getting higher and higher, and the three of Jia Yun didn't feel cold.

Half an hour later, all three of them stopped at the same time, motionless.

Both Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin sighed with sweat on their cheeks.

"Ying'er, come in and serve me!" Xue Baochai called softly when it was getting late.

Soon, Ying'er and other maidservants filed in and waited for the three of them to get up in an orderly manner.

in front of the dresser.

Xue Baochai asked with concern: "Husband, I will try next year, are you sure?"

"It's okay, I'm [-]% sure." Jia Yun pondered.

Xue Baochai's face brightened, and said: "If my husband can pass the Jinshi examination in a weak year, it will be a good talk among scholars!"

This is not bad, usually before the age of 30, you can pass the Jinshi examination, even if you are young and promising.

Jia Yun smiled and said: "It's too early to talk about this now, let's talk about it after we actually pass the exam!"

He has never liked to show off, and those who achieve great things often keep things in their hearts and focus on action.

There is a saying: things are accomplished by secrets, and failures are revealed by words. It may not be the case that the body leaks, but the words and hidden things are in danger.

Many things have to be done in a low-key way, so that there will be less resistance and fewer obstacles.

After the matter is completed, in the eyes of outsiders, it is also a courageous, resourceful, and steady performance.

While talking, a little maid came in to announce that Miss Ping'er had come.

"Let her come here, it must be something urgent." Jia Yun told the servant girl.

Soon, Ping'er came in.

"Second Master Lian arrived in Beijing in the middle of the night last night, and returned home after the city gate opened this morning." Ping'er said charmingly.

Jia Yun nodded and asked, "What's unusual about Second Uncle Lian's behavior?"

Ping'er tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "However, there are some changes. People are a little fatter, but their bones are weaker. It's very cold, and they sweat from time to time."

"By the way, I heard from the boy who went with him that after Lian Erye went to the south of the Yangtze River, he was drunk every day in the flower shop, and all the errands were handed over to the servants who accompanied him. He lived quite happily. .”

Jia Yun smiled and said, "It's all a trivial matter, Second Uncle Lian finally went out, why don't you allow him to enjoy it for a few days?"

Ping'er pursed his lips and smiled, blinked his clear eyes, and said, "I'm afraid you don't know, what is the real purpose of my coming here today?"

Jia Yun shook her head to express her ignorance.

"It's Lian Erye who wants to invite you to dinner! He also invited Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Cong and others to accompany him." Ping'er smiled, and as he spoke, he took out an invitation card from his sleeve and handed it to Jia. Yun.

Jia Yun was a little surprised, and after taking a look at the invitation, she asked curiously, "Second Uncle Lian, what do you want me to do? What kind of wine would you like to treat me to?"

"I don't know about that." Ping'er shook his head and replied.

Jia Yun stood up, stretched her waist, nodded and said: "Well, he has sent all the invitations, and I have no reason not to go, you go back and tell Second Uncle Lian that I will come to the banquet on time at noon. "

After finishing the business, Ping'er took his leave and left.

After breakfast, Jia Yun walked to the guard training ground next door.

Do not avoid cold weather, do not avoid hot weather.

These personal guards of Jia Yun insisted on training all year round, and they also had to read and write. They had one day off every ten days, and each team took turns to rest, but it was quite hard.

Although the management is strict, they have no complaints.

Because of the examples of Jia Yun's previous personal guards, most of those old people entered the Fengtai camp and served as military officers, with a bright future in the future.

Therefore, Jia Yun's personal guards also have pursuits, and no one will be satisfied with only being a personal guard.

They all want to learn more skills, practice martial arts well, learn the art of war, and know how to run an army. They hope to join the army in the future, win cities and defeat the army, and glorify their ancestors.

Even Jia Wenlin and Jia Dazheng, the two captains of the personal guard, dare not relax now. Whenever they have free time, they study with books, for fear of falling behind and being robbed of the captaincy by their subordinates.

After Jia Yun sat on the training ground and watched the training of the personal guards for a while, she went out and went to Jia's mansion.

Since Jia Lian invited him to have a drink, Jia Yun would go over early. After all, she is a junior, so she doesn't know how to show off, so she insists on stepping on.

Besides, in fact, his relationship with Jia Lian has always been pretty good.

"It's the second aunt Lian, I feel sorry for him." Jia Yun stepped on the snow, thinking to herself.

As for framing Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu last time, in fact Jia Lian was dragged down by Jia Baoyu.

Jia Yun's plan at the time was to make Jia Baoyu suffer, but she really wouldn't let the government cut him off.

Jia Lian was unlucky, and he happened to be with Jia Baoyu, so Chi Yu got hurt.

Walking out of the back street and crossing the cross streets, Jia Yun met a large group of people head-on.

The team of people and horses was very grand, with hundreds of guards at the front and back, and eunuchs and maidservants in the middle, surrounded by an exquisitely crafted eight-person sedan chair, walking forward at a leisurely pace.

"A member of the royal family?" Jia Yun thought to himself.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a beardless old eunuch trotted over, saluted Jia Yun, and said, "Master Jia, the Eldest Princess welcomes you."

Jia Yun frowned, he always kept people in the royal family at arm's length.

The only one who really knew him was the sixth prince, but he also hid far away.

Jia Yun didn't even know the eldest princess.

Looking at this scene, it seems that the eldest princess is still looking for him, which makes him confused and a little confused.

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, what is the eldest princess's business in finding an official?" Jia Yun asked, cupping her hands.

The old eunuch shook his head and said he didn't know.

Seeing Jia Yun's expression of hesitation, the old eunuch urged: "Master Jia, you can go with your servant, and don't make the eldest princess wait too long."

Jia Yun sighed secretly, she really didn't want to go there, but she had to go, otherwise she would offend people for no reason.

Jia Yun, the eldest princess, has heard about it. She is the eldest daughter of the current emperor. A few years ago, she recruited Tanhua to be her son-in-law.

That Tanhua was Prince Yizhong's man, was cut off by the emperor, and the eldest princess has been a widow ever since.

The widow Jia Yun naturally likes young and beautiful ones like Li Wan.

But the widow of the royal family, Jia Yun is not sensitive.

The female family members of the royal family, not to mention widows, even girls with yellow flowers, Jia Yun also avoided them.

Because they are all troublemakers, they have lived in such a shameful place in the palace since they were young, and none of them are simple.

The eight sedan chairs stopped.

Jia Yun stepped forward, bowed in salute and said, "My minister Jia Yun, I pay my respects to the Eldest Princess."

The eldest princess was not in a hurry to reply, but whispered a few words to the maid in the sedan chair.

Soon, a servant girl came out of the sedan chair and ordered the surrounding mothers to open the curtain and seal the surrounding area.

Not only that, the intersection of Sifang Street was also blocked by guards, no one was allowed to pass through, and the cross street suddenly became empty.

"Your Majesty Jia, you don't need to be too polite. I'm taking the liberty." A soft voice came from the sedan chair.

After the words fell, the car curtain moved, and a charming and natural figure walked out slowly.

She is tall and slender, dressed in elegant clothes, her hair is loosely tied, she is beautiful, with snow-skinned skin, narrow and long eyes, and a pear-shaped smile on her face, she is very attractive.

She is wearing light makeup, her eyes are moving, she smiles without saying a word, she has a vicious vibe, full of charm, but not frivolous.

Her slender waist was tightly grasped, wrapped in plain clothes, revealing a graceful body line, which is beyond belief.

Her gestures are full of sensuality, but just right, her whole body is full of femininity, which makes people itch.

After Jia Yun glanced at her, she looked away and asked directly: "The princess summoned the officials, what is the matter?"
