The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 165 Tanchun Sick
"Have you received Qing'an's reply?"

Putting down the official document in his hand, Shi Nai asked Jia Jian, the aide beside him.

Although Jia Jian's surname is Jia, he has nothing to do with the Jia family. Although he is only famous for his career, he is Shi Nai's most profitable confidant.

"General Tang is really a man of high righteousness. In order to save the Liao people, he really spent his life."

For the Jinzhou Army and the Zhenjiang Army, Jia Jian seemed to be acting extremely crazy, and it didn't take long for him to guess Tang Qing'an's intentions.

Yes.

Looking at what General Tang of Jinzhou has done since he went to sea, although he has made military achievements, but analyzing his behavior many times, he is a person who loves the people very much.

Jia Jian couldn't help sighing that a warrior has such benevolence and kindness, he is really a good man.

Shi Nai frowned.

He believed in Jia Jian's judgment, and he thought it was roughly the same.

The kindness of women.

Elite soldiers are hard to come by, it's really stupid to abolish martial arts like this.

So Shi Nai was very anxious, and wrote to Jinzhou to comfort Tang Qing'an, but for some unknown reason, he never got a reply.

Before Jinzhou went north to regain Zhenjiang, he could still dictate to Jinzhou, but now, he can no longer control Tang Qing'an.

Tang Qing'an's strategic plan was no longer passed on to Jinzhou.

"Even if Qing'an wanted to go his own way, why didn't he inform me so that the two of us could cooperate with him? Don't you really feel sorry for the elite soldiers in your hands?"

Shi Nai frowned.

Hearing the master's words, Jia Jian laughed.

"When I watched Jinzhou General Tang's trip, I actually looked down on Jinzhou and Beizhen's army, and I might think it would drag him down."

"Ugh."

When Shi Nai heard the words, he suddenly realized, and sighed so that he was not angry, but felt even more sorry for Tang Qing'an's waste of elite soldiers.

Due to the needs of the situation, the imperial court was unable to mobilize military forces from all over the country to support Liaodong on a large scale as before, so it had already implemented the Liao people to guard the Liao soil.

Li Dazu from Beizhen strongly supports this policy.

But in Shi Nai's view, this strategy needs to be cautious.

It's not because the local army is powerful, but because the old slaves of the barbarians have been in the army for a lifetime, and the prestige of unifying the barbarians is illustrious.

In addition, the prestige of defeating Zhou soldiers for a total of 50 to [-] soldiers for several years made the Liao people hate the old slaves and fear them.

Shi Naiming called on the Liao people to fight against the enemy. In order to appease the Liao people, he also reused many generals from the Liao people.

But in fact, Shi Nai was quite wary of the Liao people.

Because among the Han generals who surrendered to the barbarians, such as Tong Yangzhen, who was eliminated by Tang Qing'an, needless to mention.

There are also Li Yongfang, Liu Bao, Jia Chaofu and so on.

They are all Liaodong veterans and have a very wide relationship with the Liaodong army. The former barbarians won the entire Liaozuo line without any effort.

These Han who surrendered to the barbarians will take the greatest credit.

Therefore, Shi Nai was extremely wary of these people's spies, and would contact Jinzhou, the people with ghost plans in the Beizhen Army Center.

Jinzhou is fine, most of Beizhen now has newly recruited Liao soldiers, which often makes Shi Nai uneasy.

Li Dazu in Beizhen didn't listen to him, Tang Qing'an in Jinzhou didn't listen to him now, Shi Nai was angry and helpless.

There are thousands of veterans under Li Dazu in Beizhen. It is because of his old battalion that he has maintained a strong combat effectiveness.

It is the only battalion in western Liaoning that can fight against the barbarians.

As for Golden State.

That's even more remarkable.

In the past few years, there have been successive victories, and they have experienced many victories in sieges, field battles, and defenses. The [-] elite battalion is a force that lifts weight.

Why so far, Jinzhou and Beizhen can only passively defend, planning to build countless military forts in the future, and recover the land one by one.

Jinzhou is closer to the belly of the barbarians, and its supplies are far inferior to Jinzhou and Beizhen, but it can bloom in all directions and take the initiative.

The reason is these tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

"Jia Jian, are you willing to go to Jinzhou for me?"

Jia Jian nodded.

Before Shi Nai finished speaking, he understood Shi Nai's intention of letting him go to Jinzhou, and advised Tang Qing'an not to do so.

Even Shi Nai did not support Tang Qing'an's actions, let alone the imperial court.

Such a large-scale military operation cannot be hidden from others, and the former Tang Qing'an privately reorganized the army on a large scale, and the news more or less spread back to the court.

Worry about Tang Qing'an becoming more and more domineering because of his strength, or worry about the loss of Tang Qing'an's tens of thousands of elite soldiers, which will lead to the loss of Zhenjiang in Jinzhou.

After deliberation, the cabinet and the Ministry of War sent a document to Jinzhou, warning Tang Qing'an not to be impatient.

Beizhen and Jinzhou are accumulating strength. After the situation is stabilized, a total of 20 troops from the three parties will come out together to regain the lost ground in one fell swoop.

This is the military strategy made by the imperial court following Shi Nai's suggestion.

Of course Tang Qing'an knew about this plan, but he didn't like it because he didn't trust Beizhen and Jinzhou.

Wanting to rely on the trained army to defeat the barbarian army cultivated in the flames of war is really a dream.

Willing to go his own way.

Someone needs to speak for him in court.

Chen Deyan told Jia Jing carefully about his elder brother's intentions in Xuanzhen Temple.

"Guerrilla warfare."

Jia Jing pondered.

Now he can't understand whether this plan is good or bad.

"Isn't it better to be more secure?"

After a long time, Jia Jing sighed softly.

With these [-] elite soldiers, relying on the city of Zhenjiang in Jinzhou, Tang Qing'an's position is stable, whether it is facing the old slave or the court.

This is an unconstrained military strategy.

Even if it succeeds, it will not be able to hurt the barbarian army. The only advantage is that it has saved countless Liao people.

Chen Deyan smiled and shook his head.

"The decision my elder brother made will never change."

"Now you are getting more and more tired of speaking, and you are more confident, even with me, you dare to speak boldly."

Jia Jing was not angry.

"It's not that the younger generation is arrogant, but because the mountain master has been taking care of him, the younger generation has been frankly telling me. Moreover, this guerrilla warfare was not a temporary idea of ​​the eldest brother."

Chen Deyan explained to Jia Jing respectfully.

"When I was still in Jinling, the elder brother often discussed this matter with the second elder brother and me. The younger generation is dull, although they don't understand good and bad.

But since the eldest brother has been planning for so many years, it can be seen that the eldest brother has a plan in mind. "

Jia Jing said no more.

Just like in the beginning, his son Jia Zhen came to Guanli and told him how to use the sea to control barbarism, which made his eyes shine.

"Since this is the case, go to Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen, and persuade everyone to come forward. Although you can't convince the court, you can still say something loyal for your elder brother."

With Jia Jing's approval, Chen Deyan went to Ningrong Second Mansion.

Now the young lady of Rongguo Mansion has become a noble concubine, and besides the queen, she is the highest-ranking concubine in the harem.

Coupled with the old prestige of the original Ningrong Second Mansion, now Ningrong Street, the main entrance of the two mansions, is full of horse-drawn carriages, and the horse-drawn posts are never left empty.

As for the relationship between the Jia family going out, Jinling, Yangzhou, Liaodong..., all places also send filial piety from time to time.

Hot weather.

The seafood from Jinzhou is shipped to Denglai. The seafood is packed into a box and put into a bucket. Ice cubes are poured into the bucket, and then covered with a thick quilt.

They were transported into the capital one by one.

In the imperial city, at Jia's Mansion, Shi's Mansion, Wang's Mansion, and Aunt Xue's house in Rongguo Mansion, Tang Qing'an did not forget, and gave a copy every year.

Aunt Xue was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she praised Tang Qing'an's strong heart of repaying her kindness when she saw everyone.

"It's just a few years of raising it, and our family doesn't lack this kind of food. It's nothing at all, but this Tang family brother is a person who attaches great importance to kindness."

At the old lady's place, Wang Xifeng came in and told her.

Fresh fish, seafood and other items from Jinzhou were properly placed in the ice cellar.

I haven't seen any delicacies from mountains and seas in Jia's mansion. It was a bit novel in the first year, but now it's nothing.

The reason why he was treated so solemnly was because Tang Qing'an of Jinzhou showed his filial piety to the Jia family.

This is what makes the Jia family extremely satisfied.

More and more people in the court began to accuse General Jinzhou of being domineering and not paying attention to the court system.

The gentlemen of Jia's mansion didn't take it seriously, as long as General Jinzhou had filial piety towards Jia's mansion, a little impeachment was nothing.

Aunt Xue laughed because of this.

"The housekeeper in the mansion was ignorant. Before the elder brother of the Tang family built a boat and came to the capital with Shao'er, I was worried that it would create a estrangement between him and my family."

In the outer hall, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking and laughing.

In the inner room, the ladies were also talking and laughing.

"So my sister and Brother Tang came here by boat? Why haven't I heard of it?" Jia Baoyu asked with a smile.

When her father was ill before, Jinzhou specially sent to the Clippers, sent a genius doctor, and finally cured her father. This kindness made Lin Daiyu develop a good impression of General Jinzhou.

Although on the surface he is as indifferent as ever, in his heart he is always thinking of the other party's kindness.

When the sisters occasionally talked about Tanchun's fiancé, Lin Daiyu was no longer indifferent, but laughed and joked.

When her father was completely cured, she was picked up by Jia Mu again.

"I'm on the same boat as him, why should I tell you?"

Baoyu's status in the mansion is not as good as before. Before, there was a master who beat him hard, then Jia Lian took care of many things now, and Jia Huan and Jia Lan studied hard.

With the progress of the family's children, Baoyu had to restrain his temper, and he dared not drop the jade.

"Him? Who is he?"

Xue Baochai laughed.

"you."

Lin Daiyu didn't pay attention to what she said, and Xue Baochai took advantage of her, causing the sisters to laugh at her, which made Lin Daiyu anxious.

Going forward to take revenge on Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai hides behind, and it happens to be Shi Xiangyun.

"Just let her go."

Shi Xiangyun blocked Lin Daiyu from laughing.

Strange to say.

In the past, when Jia's mother brought Shi Xiangyun to the mansion, the mansion would arrange a lot of needlework for her to finish, and she often blocked it.

But now it has changed, not only does not stop her, even needlework is avoided.

Shi Xiangyun thought about it, but didn't understand what it meant, so he often asked among his sisters, because he was young and didn't understand how powerful it was.

Later, Xue Baochai told her in private that there were some things their daughter didn't understand, but don't ask random questions.

It was only then that Shi Xiangyun was mentioned, and he suppressed the curiosity in his heart.

Several people were joking.

Someone from outside came in to pass the news that the princess of the Beijing Palace sent someone to invite the second wife, Miss Tanchun, to the palace to talk about the old days.

Mrs. Wang came in and looked at Jia Tanchun.

The sisters in the mansion were still playing around, and Jia Tanchun was only 14 years old, so he didn't speak easily.

"I'm not feeling well."

Jia Tanchun said in embarrassment.

"Since I'm not in good health, I'll go alone. You should not go out for the next few days, lest you go to this house or not to that house, and it's not good for people to know about it and cause misunderstandings."

Mrs. Wang made a point.

"Understood, ma'am."

After Mrs. Wang left, the girls asked about Tanchun with concern.

"It's just a little tired, just rest for a few days, don't worry."

Tanchun laughed.

Xue Baochai seemed to understand but did not understand, and had a vague understanding.

Lin Daiyu is also shrewd.

Only Yingchun, Shi Xiangyun, Xichun and Baoyu are still concerned.
