Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Ten days later, Jia Huan received a reply from Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin and other wives and concubines.

In the letter, they reported their safety to Jia Huan and expressed their thoughts.

It has to be said that Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai are indeed worthy of admirable virtues and pity for Yong Xucai.

And Xue Baoqin's literary talent is not inferior to the two.

Reading their letters is also a pleasure.

In the past, life was slow. Cars, horses, and mail were slow. There was only enough time to love one group of people in a lifetime.

Of course, Jia Huan's wives and concubines are not limited to these three people.

Not everyone else has their literary talents.

For example, in Qingwen's letter, she only wrote one sentence, Third Master, I miss you.

Xu Qingwen also knew that in terms of literary talent, she was definitely not comparable to others.

Not to mention Madam and Miss Xue, even Xiangling's literary talent is much better than hers, and even Xiaohong and Caiyun are better than her.

Therefore, Qingwen simply found another way and simply wrote a sentence.

She felt that the third master must understand her. After reading her letter, he could immediately understand her heart.

The fact was as she expected. When Jia Huan saw this sentence, she felt her body start to heat up.

This sultry little elf!

Next, Jia Huan stayed in Haizhou with peace of mind and controlled the development of Haitian Island.

A few days later, the imperial court's reward came.

Jia Huan was promoted again and was named the third-rank Dingyuan General.

Everyone in the Red Flame Army also received rewards.

The geographical location of Haitian Island is not within the territory of Daxia.

Therefore, Haitian Island does not belong to Daxia's territory.

But this time, the imperial court directly sealed Haitian Island as a rebel army.

Haitian Island will be able to trade with Daxia in the future and will receive protection from Daxia.

And this time, the imperial court also had generous rewards for Haitian Island.

Since then, Haitian Island has turned from darkness to light.

This matter has both advantages and disadvantages for Jia Huan.

But for now, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages.

After a period of modification, all the warships Haitian Island received from the Red Pirates have been equipped with steam engines and propellers.

At this time, Haitian Island's strength has reached a higher level.

Therefore, Jia Huan is also ready to fully accelerate the development speed of Haitian Island.

At the same time, Jia Huan is preparing to speed up the recruitment of people on Haitian Island.

At the same time, the escort army must also expand.

This time, the escort is not limited to the indigenous people, but recruits new troops from immigrants as much as possible.

Jia Huan wanted to further reduce the influence of the aborigines on Haitian Island, and next he wanted to dilute the proportion of aboriginal soldiers in the escort as much as possible.

A month later, the textile factory on Haitian Island was officially launched.

After the Mohist transformation, new looms have been produced on Haitian Island. This loom could be driven by a steam engine.

Textile efficiency will be improved a hundred times compared to the original.

Labor costs will be greatly reduced.

The stability of the machine will make the cloth woven denser and more delicate.

The completion of the textile factory will have a huge impact on Daxia's original textile industry.

Of course, Jia Huan was not ready to drastically reduce the price of cloth from the beginning.

They are on the Sea to Sky Island, and with the destruction of the Red Haired Pirates, they will be able to take a larger share of overseas trade.

And, that's not all.

You know, the Red Flame Army is also responsible for pacifying the Japanese pirates.

As for the Japanese pirates along the southwest coast, most of them are not real Japanese pirates.

Rather, they were pseudo-Japanese pirates formed by the large landowners and aristocratic families in the southwest.

Their main purpose of forming such a Japanese pirate team was for maritime trade.

And next, Jia Huan's focus is to attack them!

If all these pseudo-Japanese pirates are defeated, maritime trade will inevitably be dominated by Haitian Island in the future.

Of course, real Japanese pirates need to be attacked more.

Whether it is the escort army on Haitian Island or the Red Flame Army, they all need a lot of naval battles to accumulate their naval battle experience step by step.

At present, part of the artillery fire of the Red Flame Army has been replaced by new artillery shells, with an astonishing range.

With range suppression, you can maintain an absolute advantage.

And the continuous eradication of Japanese pirates will also allow Haitian Island to continue to develop and grow.

After all, those Japanese pirates were very wealthy.

For the Red Flame Army and Haitian Island, the current difficulty is not how to exterminate the Japanese pirates.

But how to find the whereabouts of Japanese pirates. Only by finding their whereabouts can they be wiped out.

Fortunately, they are not completely clueless.

Because Qin Huaiyu had led a group of pirates before.

In his hands, he also holds the whereabouts of the six maritime powers.

It can also be said that he has the whereabouts of at least six pirates.

During this month, the Red Flame Army and the Haitian Island Guards were conducting joint military exercises.

After a month of practicing with each other, their cooperation suddenly became much better.

In fact, Jia Huan still planned to focus on building these two armies.

For example, the Red Flame Army still focuses on land warfare, supplemented by naval warfare.

After all, the Red Flame Army itself is a cavalry and has been trained in the southwest campaign.

Therefore, the Red Flame Army still focuses on land warfare.

The escort force focuses on training its naval combat capabilities.

The soldiers of the escort were either aborigines from Haitian Island or fishermen who immigrated from nearby waters.

They live by the sea and have good water properties.

They all know how to drive a boat, and whether it's a battle in the water or a battle on a boat, they adapt very quickly.

And Jia Huan equipped them with steam engines, ships, new ammunition, artillery and muskets.

This directly pushes the naval warfare capabilities of the escort force to a state that is invincible in the current era.

After a month of joint drills, Jia Huan was ready to take action against the Huang family, one of the six families.

The reason why the Huang family was chosen was because the Huang family was the closest to Haitian Island.

Secondly, it is also because the Huang family has no bottom line in doing things.

Although they were fake Japanese pirates, they did no less evil than real Japanese pirates.

In some cases, they are even more vicious than real Japanese pirates.

If this is the case, then we absolutely cannot stay.

Soon, Haitian Island and the Red Flame Army joined forces to launch a surprise attack on the Huang family's armed forces.

This raid was completely beyond the Huang family's expectations.

Before the Huang family could react at all, the Red Flame Army and the escort army made dumplings on the island occupied by the Huang family.

The subsequent encirclement and suppression was like chopping melons and vegetables, and the coalition forces quickly wiped out the island.

However, compared to the red-haired thief, the wealth on this island is really pitiful.

On the contrary, five medium-sized warships and more than fifty small warships were captured here.

This is another huge addition to Haitian Island.

Jia Huan was very satisfied with the harvest of pacifying the Huang family this time. With more and more warships, Haitian Island will become stronger and stronger, and will be able to recruit more soldiers.

Moreover, as the armed forces of the Huang family were wiped out, Jia Huan discovered that Qin Huaiyu also returned to his heart.

Qin Huaiyu had a grudge against the six families.

The Huang family that was wiped out this time was one of the six families.

Although the Huang family was not really eradicated, at least the Huang family's minions were eliminated.

For Qin Huaiyu, this was indirectly a partial revenge for him.

Therefore, Qin Huaiyu naturally became more and more devoted to Jia Huan.

……

Next, Jia Huan, the Red Flame Army, and the escort army started the road to pacify the Japanese pirates, or to get rich.

Every time a family of Japanese pirates was pacified, they would always come up with something.

And after mastering the movements and even the lairs of other Japanese pirates, these Japanese pirates will soon become grasshoppers in the autumn, and they will not be able to jump around for a few days.

Before steam engines, ships and muskets and artillery, they did not even have the strength to resist.

After constant baptism of war, both the Red Flame Army and the Guards are undergoing transformation.

The iron-blooded aura on them became stronger and stronger.

During this period, the fastest growing area was Haitian Island.

The development of Haitian Island can be said to be changing with each passing day.

First of all, the permanent population of Haitian Island has more than doubled.

Since Haitian Island was canonized by the imperial court, it became a holy place for trade.

As Haitian Island develops more and more rapidly, more and more people are immigrating here.

If Jia Huan hadn't ordered that only people from Daxia be allowed to immigrate, people from countless countries would have wanted to immigrate here.

But now, Haitian Island only accepts immigrants from Daxia.

Jia Huan's base is in Daxia, so naturally he will only accept the people of Daxia.

The number of people on Haitian Island has surged, and the nearly doubled number of new people has not made Haitian Island more chaotic.

Because the expansion of Haitian Island is carried out in a planned and orderly manner.

The buildings on Haitian Island are in order, and the people who come to the island live and work in peace and contentment.

There are sound laws here and extremely efficient security management personnel. If you break the law a little, you will pay a heavy price.

Therefore, the security on Haitian Island has always been very good.

The trade on Haitian Island has also become more and more prosperous.

Because in recent times, Japanese pirates in various places have been constantly suppressed.

This has also led to a disconnect among middlemen.

And Haitian Island became their best choice.

Not only is the market of Haitian Island large enough, it is also safe enough.

When trading on Haitian Island, you don’t have to worry about problems such as cheating, shoddy goods, or forced buying and selling.

Good order and security have made Haitian Island's trade more and more prosperous.

And Jia Huan needs more than just grabbing wealth.

If he just wanted to grab wealth, he might not actually need to develop Haitian Island.

With his current status, there are not many ways to make money.

The next top priority is to develop science and technology and cultivate talents on Haitian Island.

A school has been established on Haitian Island, and all children of residents on Haitian Island can attend school for free.

What is taught on Haitian Island are all new things.

At the same time, the Mohists also opened schools to recruit apprentices.

With these, Xinxue will lay the foundation for its success.

Nowadays, Jia Huan's status is different from what it used to be, but the more senior he is, the more he feels a sense of powerlessness.

With his current status, it is almost impossible to realize his ambition.

No wonder prime ministers and high-ranking officials who have always been able to achieve great things need to eliminate dissidents and monopolize power.

Only in this way can we express our ambitions without any scruples.

And Jia Huan felt that he was still far away from this point.

It’s even unclear whether we can get to that point.

When he thought of this, Jia Huan felt a strong unwillingness in his heart.

……

The grass is green for a few times, and the maple leaves are red again.

Time flies by, and before we know it, we have arrived at the fruitful autumn.

On this day, Jia Huan was handling official duties on Haitian Island, and suddenly Ni Er came in person.

"Sir, a tremendous change has occurred in the capital!"

Hearing this, Jia Huan's expression changed and he asked, "What kind of earth-shattering change?"

Ni Er said: "The King of Qin colluded with the Kingdom of Jin and recruited the border generals. They opened the door and killed those generals who were loyal to the court."

"These people fought all the way into the capital, but inside the capital, Niu Jizong, the governor of the capital camp, was plotted by a villain. Each camp in the capital camp killed each other, and someone took advantage of the chaos to open the city gate."

"The Jin army took advantage of the chaos to rush into the capital, attack the palace, and kill everyone in the palace with blood flowing everywhere! The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were killed one after another!"

"Other members of the royal family were also killed. After that, the King of Qin coerced all officials to make him the emperor."

"One of them, Duke Zhao, scolded the King of Qin in public for colluding with foreign traitors, losing power and humiliating the country, being worse than a beast, and unworthy of being a human king. The King of Qin was furious and ordered his men to be thrown into a prison."

"Lin Gong resigned due to illness, and the King of Qin agreed. Now Lin Gong is under house arrest."

Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but feel confused.

How can it be?

How could something like this happen all of a sudden?

There were no signs at all before!
No, maybe there was a sign. At least his father-in-law, Lin Ruhai, noticed it and transferred himself away from the capital.

If he and the Red Flame Army were in the capital, they might be able to prevent this natural change.

But the greater possibility is that he was assassinated by a villain before the sky changed.

Jia Huan frowned and sighed.

The success of King Qin's coup this time was probably due to changes.

Emperor Chongkang's new policy affected the interests of too many people.

Therefore, the King of Qin could take this opportunity to pull chestnuts from the fire and promise various benefits to the powerful families and various forces.

There must be a promise to repeal the new law.

Unexpectedly, the villain King Qin actually succeeded in the end.

It's just that in order to achieve his own goals, the King of Qin did not hesitate to borrow the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin.

And the Kingdom of Jin is also a jackal.

This time, I'm afraid it's easier to invite God than to send him away.

Master Zhao was still so tough, and ended up being thrown into the sky prison.

My father-in-law was much more diplomatic and did not directly oppose King Qin.

Instead, he resigned due to illness and is now under house arrest.

What Jia Huan is most worried about now is the safety of the girls in Ningguo Mansion.

He couldn't help but ask: "What's going on with our Ningguo Mansion now? Is there any unrest?"

Ni Er hurriedly said: "Things in Ningguo Mansion seem to be fine. Including Rongguo Mansion and Liu Mansion, there is not much turmoil."

"But the capital is not at peace now. I have sent word that people should pay attention to the safety of Ningguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion and Liu Mansion at all times."

Jia Huan thought for a while and said: "Pass the news and secretly move everyone to Xiaoqingshan."

"There is an opportunity to bring them directly from Xiaoqingshan to Haitian Island." (End of Chapter)
