My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 17 Double Standard
Looking at Feng Ziying with a curious look on her face, Jia Yu explained: "My younger brother just came from Jinling last month, and he is not one of the eight houses of the Jia family in Shenjing. Naturally, Brother Feng doesn't know my younger brother."

Feng Ziying slapped her thigh: "Oh...I know, you are the Jia Yu who killed Qingpi angrily on the street a few days ago. Why does this name sound so familiar to me?"

"Okay, Ziying, why are you so open-minded?" Feng Tang, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him.

Feng Ziying smiled and cupped her hands towards Jia Yu, "Brother Jia, don't blame me."

Jia Yu shook her head, "Brother Feng is just outspoken, that's nothing. Compared to those villains who do one thing in front of others and do the other behind their backs, I'd rather deal with a forthright person like Brother Feng."

"Brother, you really spoke your mind." Feng Ziying grabbed Jia Yu's hand, "Brother Jia still knows me."

Feng Tang on the side saw the two people chatting lively, with a look of relief and helplessness in his eyes.

My son is not interested in officialdom by nature. He likes to go out and play with the nobles' children all day long. He likes to fight against injustices. I am worried about him.

The only thing he worried about was whether he could be able to support the huge palace of Shenwu General in a hundred years.

Thinking of this, Feng Tang looked at Jia Yu with a thoughtful look in his eyes...

Feng Ziying and Jia Yu naturally didn't know Feng Tang's psychological activities. The more they chatted, the more they became more and more speculative, and soon they became like brothers.

When she heard that Jia Yu was going to join the army in Beijing, Feng Ziying couldn't help feeling regretful.

"Brother Jia, how can a good man go to that rotten place in Jingying? It would be better to meet the heroes of the world with me in Shenjingguang, drink wine and eat meat, than to go to that place of retirement?"

"What are you talking about?" Feng Tang couldn't listen any more. He raised his hand and gave his son a violent shudder, which made Feng Ziying hold her head and cry out in pain.

Wu Zi was unconvinced and said: "Dad, can you blame me? You don't even look at what's going on now.

When Taizu was around, how majestic were our Eighth Camp in Beijing?The attitude of following Taizu swept across the world, and there was no single enemy, but what about now?

Beijing Camp has long been a place where nobles and nobles live together and retire. Now let alone the Jiannu and Mongolians outside the pass, I am afraid they can’t even defeat the bandits outside Beijing, right? "

"You bastard!"

Feng Tang raised his hand and planned to shudder again.

But this time he was stopped by Jia Yu, "Shibo, please calm down, Brother Feng just can't stand those stupid people, so he felt angry.

Besides, Brother Feng is not wrong. The world is indeed difficult now, but the officials in Shenjing are still in a state of intoxication. It is no wonder that Brother Feng is unwilling to join the officialdom. This is because he does not want to join in the same trend with others. "

"Brother Jia." Feng Ziying's eyes turned red immediately. My parents gave birth to me, and it's Brother Jia who knows me.

For more than a month in Shenjing, Jia Yu was not in vain, and he also gained a general understanding of Beijing in this era.

This time and space is actually somewhat similar to the time and space where Jia Yu is.

After nearly a hundred years of stable development, today's Daxia has inevitably entered a common problem in all dynasties.

Internally, land annexation intensified during the Great Xia Dynasty, and social polarization became serious. 80.00% of the wealth flowed to 20.00% of the landlord class and the bureaucratic class.

Externally, after nearly a hundred years of recuperation and recuperation, the Mongols who had been driven outside the customs were beginning to make moves on the previously conquered lands.

In addition, Jianzhou Jurchen, who was entrenched in the northeast, also began to grow and develop under the leadership of its leader Nurhachi. The year before last, they even started to establish a country named Dajin.These two forces, one in the east and one in the north, are like two evil tigers eyeing Daxia, just waiting for Daxia to show its flaws and pounce immediately.

Speaking of this, Feng Tang couldn't help but sigh: "The trees want to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. Nowadays, Daxia is suffering from internal and external troubles, but our own people are still fighting among themselves. It's the right time to live like this."

Although what Feng Tang said was cryptic, Jia Yu still understood it.

Six years ago, Emperor Shenwu Li Wukun, the previous emperor of Great Xia, abdicated and handed the throne to the fourth son of the emperor, now Emperor Changping Li Zhengxi.

It stands to reason that the handover between the old and the new should be a good thing, but this Emperor Shenwu has retired, but still holds the power, especially the military power of the Beijing camp, which is firmly in his hands.

After five or six years of hard work, Emperor Changping now only has two battalions: the imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty and the Xuanfeng and the Fifth Army battalions in the Beijing camp.

The current structure of Daxia is like this. Emperor Shenwu controls most of Daxia's military power, while Emperor Changping has the support of most civil servant groups. The two maintain a basically balanced situation.

It can be said that in recent years, the two emperors of Daxia and the civil and military officials in the court have been focusing on fighting skills and have no extra energy to pay attention to outside the customs. This has led to the Mongols and Dajin becoming more and more rampant.

Amid internal and external troubles, the situation in Daxia has become increasingly confusing, making people both worried and powerless.

Although Jia Yu understood Feng Tang's concerns, what he wanted to say was none of my business.

The whole court is in ruins, is it possible that I, a time-traveler, have to worry about it for you?

Even if Daxia is defeated in the end, at worst, I will go overseas and become a chief, and I will still enjoy good food and drink.

Two days later, Jia Yu arrived thirty miles outside Shenjing and entered the gate of the selection camp.
"This is your forward selection camp?"

Looking at the shabby tents and the disheveled soldiers in front of him, Jia Yu looked a little ugly.

"What the hell, Feng Ziying is really right. With just these soldiers, not to mention the Jiannu and Mongols outside the Pass, I'm afraid they can't even defeat the bandits in the suburbs of Beijing, right?"

Seeing Jia Yu's face looking a little ugly, Feng Tang also said with some embarrassment: "My nephew is laughing at me, it's true that the imperial court has not paid wages for three months.

Nowadays, it would be good if the forward camp can provide the soldiers with food, but it is basically impossible to eat well. "

Jia Yu asked in disbelief: "If you don't have money, why don't you ask Your Majesty for it? This is the capital camp that protects His Majesty, how can it be so crude?
Isn't it possible that Your Majesty is afraid that the lack of pay will trigger a mutiny? "

"mutiny?"

Feng Tang sneered and said: "Do you think the other six battalions are just for free?

Believe it or not, if the Selective Front Battalion really dares to mutiny, in less than two hours, all the other six battalions will surround and crush the Selective Forward Battalion into powder. "

"Wait...the other six battalions? Can the wages of the other six battalions be distributed normally?" Jia Yu immediately noticed the loophole in Feng Tang's words.

"Although the other six battalions cannot pay out normally like us, they have money that is rewarded from time to time by the Dragon Head Palace. After all, these subsidies are not much different from salary money."

"Can you still play like this?"

Jia Yu was dumbfounded. Isn't this double standards?
