The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 356 The Emperor Will Not Summon

Because there are no outsiders, they are all relatives.Plus it's Chinese New Year, and there's nothing wrong.Therefore, the atmosphere of drinking is very relaxed, and soon people let go of drinking.

After a few rounds of collective toasts, they were divided into two groups while drinking.

One group is Wang Xin, Baoyu, Jia Rong, Xue Pan and Jia Huan, and the other group is Jia Min, Xue Biao and Shi Yang.

The former group drank recklessly, while the latter group drank more calmly.No one pours anyone, no one is lazy, it belongs to gentleman's wine.

Wang Xin didn't seem to drink much, and as the host, he became a little dizzy before waiting for others to do anything.When it comes to speaking, it's a little casual.

"I have trained as a soldier for more than a year, and now I finally have the opportunity. This time, I have to show my skills."

"Brother is referring to the Battle of North Vendura this time?"

Before others answered, Jia Huan reacted first.

It turned out that he saw that Wang Xin didn't pay much attention to him, so he was always looking for opportunities to please Wang Xin.Seeing what Wang Xin said, he immediately passed on the words and entrusted Wang Xin, which was much faster than Baoyu and others.

"Brother Huan is smart, that's why. This time, our Wang Family Mansion Corps is also going to Bukui."

"Brother has achieved something in his military training. This time he will go to Bukui, and he will surely play a triumphant song and make a great contribution."

Jia Huan continued to hold Wang Xin.

"Brother Huan, I love hearing your words. I heard that you are going to Bukui too. How about it? Are you interested in going with my brother? We are relatives. Others don't want you, but my brother wants you. When the time comes , my brother will give you a half-time official, and if you have military merits, we will earn it together."

"this……."

It's not good for Jia Huan to express his opinion directly.

As for Baoyu and the others, the Ministry of War originally said that they would wait until next year.As for whether or not to go to Bukui, Jia Lian hadn't made a decision at the time.

The correct way is to inquire after a period of time, when the Ministry of War opens the office, and ask for a letter.

What's more, several of them were organized by the Fubingtuan of the Jia Mansion, even if they wanted to go to Bu Kui, they would still go to Jia Min, and there was no reason to go to the Fubingtuan of the Wang family.

For Wang Xin, his father, Wang Ziteng, had already decided to hand over his family's military regiment to Jia Minlai.Unless otherwise arranged by the Ministry of War, it was up to Jia Min to decide whether the royal family's military regiment would stay in the imperial capital or go to Bukui.

Now that Wang Xin said this, he obviously didn't want to be under Jia Min's jurisdiction. Besides, it was not appropriate to directly ask Baoyu and the others to come to him in front of Jia Min.

Jia Min listened, but didn't care, pretended not to hear, and continued to drink with Xue Biao and Shi Yang.

From the bottom of his heart, Jia Min was unwilling to take over the Wang family's military regiment.

Although they have been training for more than a year, Jia Min would rather accept recruits than accept such a team.

Recruits are like a blank sheet of paper. They are more obedient and can quickly train according to their own ideas.

Veterans, however, are different.With your own foundation and habits, and even prejudices, it will take a lot more effort and effort than recruits to correct and change.

No need to look, Jia Min knew that the Wang family's army regiments were basically the same as those of other families. In Jia Min's eyes, they were not even rookies now.

If he really wants to go to him, he will not be able to go to the battlefield for at least half a year. He will have to send people to invest a lot of energy in training, and he will have to spend money to improve the equipment in the future.

Although the Wang family has some money, since they are together, they have to refer to other families for handling.

The so-called other families are those of Jia Shifeng and Chen Wei.

The money that these companies have contributed is actually very limited.With the current military expenditure of the Jia Min Mansion Corps, the money paid by each family is far from enough.

Even with the military expenditure given by the court, it is not enough.

What's more, since the imperial court gave military expenses, Jia Min cut the money of each family.In fact, a large part of the money for this army was borne by Jia Min himself.That is to say, after obtaining the tribute money from South Wendura, it was the first time that a relatively large amount of imperial funds was used.

Therefore, when Jia Min accepted the Royal Mansion Corps, he had to hire people for training and money for equipment, and he didn't have much fighting power. It was just a burden.

Besides, matters with relatives are often not as easy to handle as outsiders.

For outsiders, it can be business-like, one is one, two is two.However, between relatives, it will be much more troublesome.

You treat him better than others, and he thinks you deserve it.If you treat him like everyone else, he will feel that he is at a loss, and you will stop showing respect to relatives.

If you are not as good as others to him, let alone, it is simply treason.

It was only because Wang Ziteng was his uncle that he agreed. At that time, he told Wang Ziteng that after the government army returned to him, he had to follow his rules.

He would not even want to change someone else's Fubingtuan if it was given to him for nothing.I would rather recruit recruits to train from scratch than these old soldiers.

Jia Huan still had some scruples, but Baoyu and Xue Pan didn't care.

"Since my brother said so, we will go to your place. We have also trained soldiers. My family's army regiment defeated [-] grassland cavalry, so the few of us are not bad. When we arrive at your place, we can also give you Some people give pointers."

Although Xue Biao has not been here for a long time, he also knows the situation of Jia Min's government corps and Baoyu and others.

Xue Pan is his cousin, and he knows what kind of virtue he is.

Seeing Xue Pan speak so boldly, he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.Zhidao brother is doing things absurdly.

"That's the best, brother, we'll go to your place, and when the time comes, earn some military merits and come back."

Baoyu also made a statement.

"It's just that this matter still needs to be..."

Wang Xin wasn't completely confused, he gestured to several people for Jia Min with his eyes.

It means that Jia Min is still the leader after all, and you are still his people now, so we have to see how he behaves, right?
"It's okay, I'll go find my ancestors."

Baoyu also understood what Wang Xin meant, so he got up and went to find his ancestor.

After a while, Baoyu came back.

"The ancestor agreed, and when you set off, the four of us will go with you. Fourth brother Min, the ancestor agreed, so you have nothing to say this time."

"Let's talk about this later."

"Fourth brother Min, I didn't deliberately poach your wall, they came to me willingly."

Wang Xin felt that he still needed to explain to Jia Min.

"Brother, let's talk about this later."

Jia Min smiled at Wang Xin and stopped talking.

It's Chinese New Year now, and we're having a drink here today. Everyone's drunk a little too much. It's really not the time to discuss important matters.

Jia Min didn't want to ruin the atmosphere because of this matter.

Besides, he didn't think they would succeed.Tell them to toss now.Even if the ancestors agreed, they would have to listen to their own decisions when they came under their own hands in the future, and they couldn't let them decide.

At this moment, Prince Sheng came.

"Brother Ming, my brother is back, I want you to go over and talk."

As soon as Wang Ziteng yelled, Jia Min followed Wang Zisheng.

In a hut, Jia Min saw Wang Ziteng, who seemed a little tired and not in good spirits.

Seeing the ceremony, Wang Ziteng waved his hand.Everyone else went out, leaving only two uncles and nephews.

"Brother Ming, sit down wherever you want, you don't need to be formal at home."

"Thank you uncle."

"I just came back from the palace. North Wendu started a war. It's a foregone conclusion. The emperor has already decided."

"But mobilize 15 horses?"

"Yes."

So Wang Ziteng said the general situation, which was in line with Wei Ruolan's information.

"Who is in charge of this matter?"

"The crown prince is the commander-in-chief, General Zhenbei, and General Ningguta Han Tiankui is the deputy commander."

"Actually, Han Tiankui is the coach?"

"The prince is not good at military affairs, it's just a name."

"When will the war start?"

"I will set off on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. I have also truthfully told the emperor what you said."

"What did the emperor say?"

Wang Ziteng sighed and didn't answer right away.

In fact, there was no need for him to answer.

They have already decided to go to war, so what else is there to say?
"The emperor didn't say anything, when will I be summoned?"

Jia Min didn't give up.

"Brother Ming, will the emperor summon you at this time? I understand what I mean, but once you enter the officialdom, many things are beyond your control. The emperor will not summon you anymore."

Jia Min was speechless.

It's not surprising that the emperor didn't see him.

His point of view has been spread to the emperor through different channels.Now that the emperor has decided to go to war, why did he summon him?
"Uncle means..."

"My point of view is the same as yours, and I told the emperor. Other ministers attacked me for cowardice, saying that I would leave the credit to you, and the emperor also reprimanded me. Now, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are just us and my father. It's against war."

"Have you assigned errands to our army regiment?"

"It's nothing to you, you still defend Bu Kui. For them, this is because they don't want you to take credit with them. However, for the court, it may be a good thing. As long as Bu Kui doesn't lose, the future will be better." There is still a turning point. After recovering from the vitality, we can go north to Wendura again."

"Since that's the case, after the fifteenth day, I'll go back to Bukui and try my best to keep Bukui."

"Don't be in a hurry to go back, just wait for the emperor's orders."

"Uncle, what does this mean? Are you going to transfer me away from Bu Kui?"

"Not necessarily. In short, don't go back without authorization. After the seventh day, the yamen will open. You go to the Ministry of War and ask for a letter. Remember, you are now an official of the imperial court. The government army is also an army of the imperial court. It’s no longer a government soldier of any family.”

"Yes. I see, Uncle."

"Don't tell your family members about these inside stories. Don't make them anxious when it's Chinese New Year. Since the family members are counting on us, we should take more responsibility than others. Sometimes, it's normal to be wronged."

"Let's go, go out to drink, be happy, the sky won't fall."

Wang Ziteng stood up, patted Jia Min on the shoulder, and the two walked out with smiles on their faces.
