The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 554
Seeing her great-grandson, the old lady naturally cried again. Mrs. Wang picked up Jia Lei and looked at him repeatedly, as if she had found a treasure.

When Jia Zheng saw his grandson, he already felt itchy.This time, regardless of putting on airs, he snatched his grandson from Mrs. Wang's arms and hugged him clumsily.

"Oh, I'm too busy talking, get in the car quickly, and go home."

Tana suddenly woke up.

"Okay, let's go to your house."

When the old lady saw Baoyu, her legs and feet became more agile, and she got into the car by herself without the help of mandarin ducks.Then Mrs. Wang also got into the car, and the rest followed suit and went to Shuangfeng Temple.

Chang Jin came back first, and told Master Jueneng about the arrival of Jia's family.

Jueneng was already waiting in front of the mountain gate. Baoyu introduced them one by one, and everyone entered the living room together.

"Thank you, Master Jueneng, for saving my grandson back then. I always wanted to say thank you in person, but today I got my wish."

"You don't need to be polite, old lady. To save others is to save yourself. Now, it seems that you are saving a son-in-law."

"That's true, it's just that my family Baoyu got a ready-made daughter-in-law for nothing."

After chatting for a while, Changjin had already arranged the guest rooms, so Jia's family moved in one after another.

Although the Shuangfeng Temple is not too big, there are quite a few vacant rooms.Jia's family moved in, but it was not too crowded.

As soon as she settled down here, the old lady gathered her family members, went to various halls to offer incense, and donated some silver taels when they encountered a merit box.

Although they came to Baoyu's place, there were more than ten people in the group, with food and shelter, and the expenses would not be small.If you give the money directly, you don't think you can ask for it, and it seems a little too much.

So in the form of giving, it can be regarded as freeing the heart from the burden.

Baoyu has gone back and changed her clothes. Although they are not beautiful, they are neat and tidy.

It was night while we were talking, vegetarian meals had been prepared in the dining hall, and the family went to eat in the dining hall.

Soon after the fast, Juoneng and Changjin took some believers to class.Baoyu and Tana took their children and talked with their families.

Baoyu didn't know what had happened in Jia's mansion. He heard from his family at this time, and only then did he know that such a huge change had taken place.

Hearing about my sister and uncle made me sad for a while.

"This is the end of the matter, so don't be sad. Fortunately, Brother Min is going to send troops to avenge them."

Madam Wang comforted Baoyu.

"Oh, that's all, it's also karma, let's go with fate."

"We are all in Beihai now, and it's not too far away from Beihai. If you don't want to be here in the future, you can go back to live at home. Brother Ming also repaired a house for you, just like the Grand View Garden, although smaller , but I can live there."

"There's no need to go anywhere to live. It's good to be here now. If I really miss you, I'll visit you there. You can also come here from time to time."

"Now we are thinking about it, and we will no longer force you to do things you don't like. As long as you feel happy."

"My ancestors and mother don't need to miss me. I'm fine here now. I read books and work hard every day. I live a peaceful and carefree life."

When Tana was in the mansion, although she was not in harmony with the people in the mansion in terms of life, there was no conflict.The old lady and Mrs. Wang were more tolerant to her at that time, so there was no conflict with the Jia family.

Seeing you now is very kind.

Baoyu and Tana were talking to their family while Jia Lei was playing on the kang.When I was tired, I fell asleep by myself.

At the beginning of Haishi, the temple was sleeping with a board, and the old lady and others were tired all the way, so they rested and slept.

Jia Min and others returned to Pingyuan City after meeting in Tongyuan Fort, ready to send troops.

At present, the Beihai Autonomous Army has a total of 1000 people.

Because a peace agreement has been reached with Ross, the Ross Empire is at war with France and is unable to look east, so there will be no threat to the west for the time being.

In the south, Dade's Tongyuan Fort borders. At present, Dade doesn't have the energy to go north. Moreover, this time, the south, north, and Bukui will be captured at the same time. The whole of Daedeok is northeast, so there is no threat in the south.

The southeast of Beihai is bordered by North Wendura. This time, North Wendura and Jia Min sent troops together. The two sides are already an alliance, so they will not pose any threat to Beihai.

The Beihai Autonomous Army left 3000 people responsible for maintaining local law and order and possible external threats.

Although most of these 3000 people were recruits recruited later, they all underwent systematic training and were equipped with machine guns, field cannons, and flamethrowers.Rifles and other light and heavy weapons.

Therefore, no one dares to underestimate the combat effectiveness.An army of 1 is not necessarily their opponent.

The remaining 8000 people were organized into four brigades of 4000 people each.

Feng Ziying, the commander of the [-]st Brigade, targeted the south and southwest of Daedeok.

Chen Yejun, the brigade commander of the second brigade, targeted the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas of Dade, and then went north to Zhili.

Chen Yeqing, the brigade commander of the third brigade, will act together with Jia Min and land in Dadonggou, Liaodong. The target of the operation is Shengjing.

Jia Lian, commander of the [-]th Brigade, will act together with Wei Ruolan, land at Niuzhuang in southern Liaoning, go north from the other direction, pass Dashiqiao, Shoushan, meet with the [-]rd Brigade in Shengjing, and attack Shengjing together.

Feng Zijing is currently the commander of the navy brigade. She will lead two thousand sailors to sail to the surface of Daedeok, search for the San Francisco navy along the way, and then enter the Yangtze River from Songjiang, destroy the San Francisco navy in the Yangtze River, and cut off the connection between Jiangnan and Jiangbei. .

The arsenal followed Jia Min and moved the ammunition production line to Shengjing.

Daiyu's newspaper, together with the printing house, also went with the army this time.

However, this time, instead of publishing a newspaper, it is conducting battlefield propaganda, specifically fighting public opinion warfare.

Daiyu, Xichun and others will be tasked with printing call to action, leaflets, notices, etc.

Hua Yusheng and Guo Qisheng joined Daiyu's newspaper office to act together.

The tasks of the two people this time, one is to assist Daiyu in publicity, and the other is to be responsible for liquidating Luo Qihua and Luo Musheng's Xinyou case after the imperial capital is captured in the future.

Baochai and Heping'er stayed in Pingyuan City because they were busy with the tobacco business.

Miaoyu, Qingwen, and Tamara followed the army.

Shen Bingyi, Fenghua and Xueyue are currently running a supermarket, so they stayed.

Yang Lin, Lin Dajiang, Sun Yuanfei, Cong Xiucai, Wei Song, Zac, and Bogda formed a seven-member committee. As the highest temporary authority in Beihai, it performed the functions of the Beihai Self-Government Association and was responsible for the normal operation of Beihai power.

After the old lady spoke, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng quickly recognized Yuanyang and Xiren as righteous daughters.

On Liu Cheng's side, his uncle Liu Tieshan and aunt Wu Hongmei are currently in Beihai. As his elders, they are looking for a matchmaker to propose marriage to Jia She's house.

This is naturally a procedure, and soon Liu Cheng and Yuanyang are engaged.

Jiang Yuhan had no elders there, but this didn't bother anyone, so she recognized Cong Xiucai as her adoptive father. As an elder, she found someone to propose marriage to Jia Zheng's house, and the result was naturally an engagement.

Like Jiang Yuhan, there are many people who have no elders in Beihai, and they all adopt the method of recognizing relatives.

Because Cong Xiucai is highly respected, many people seek him out as relatives.At present, Cong Xiucai has more than 40 adopted sons and adopted daughters.

Not only did the adopted son and adopted daughter have to honor gifts when they recognized relatives, but they also had to give gifts during the New Year's festival. Therefore, Cong Xiu is currently the person who receives the most gifts in Beihai.

If there are too many presents to use, they will be sold.Cong Xiucai made a small fortune for this.

As the master, Wang Xifeng betrothed Xiaohong to Jia Yun.

Although Jia Yun's parents are not here, he is a child of the Jia family. The old lady, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and other elders can make decisions for him, and there is no obstacle in terms of etiquette, so they are also engaged.

Today is the day when the Beihai Volunteers set out on an expedition. There are huge crowds of people on the pier, and most of the officials and common people in Beihai come to see the volunteers off.

Although many of them are still unclear about the purpose of this expedition, they believe that as long as the decision is made by Chief Min, it is correct.

The previous battles with Ross and the Cossacks proved this.

Especially the original local aboriginals in Beihai, who have been harassed by Cossacks for many years, have kept them in panic.

Ever since Chief Min came here, nothing like this has happened again.

Naturally, Baochai, Ping'er, Shen Bingyi and others also came.

Several people walked up to Tamara together.

Tamara was commanding a company of her Mamluk slaves aboard.

"Tamara, I'm sorry about what happened last time, please don't take it to heart."

Ping'er took Tamara's hand and apologized sincerely.

"Oh, Ping'er, it's okay. I know you're here to help Yuanyang and Xiren. If things like this still happen in the future, you can just speak ill of me. I don't mind."

"It's Tamara in the end."

Baochai took the opportunity to boast.

"However, if the ancestors teach you a lesson, I don't care."

Baochai smiled awkwardly, alas, this Tamara, can you expose the fault without face to face.

"Baochai, don't worry, I will take good care of my fourth brother. This time I have more chances to be with him. I will try my best to bring the child back when I come back."

Baochai didn't want to hear this.

"Well, here, Tamara, time is running out, get on board."

"Okay, Baochai, I'm leaving. When the fourth brother comes back, you can go to the bridal chamber with him, and hang up the white silk as soon as possible, so that everyone in Pingyuan City can know about it."

Pa, Tamara was kicked by Baochai on the ass.

"Tamara, get the hell out of here."

"Baochai, you are the boss, you can't be so violent, hahaha, when the pear blossoms are all over the world..."

Tamara boarded the boat singing.

Just as Daiyu was about to board the boat, she saw Liu Xianglian and Jiang Yuhan running up panting. Looking at their attire, they looked like they were about to go on a long journey.

"Miss Lin, wait for us."

"You two also came to see you off?"

"No, we are here to fight."

"Expedition? Where are you going?"

"Go out with you. I went to find Feng Ziying just now, and he asked us to report to you. From now on, it will be under your control."

"What can you two do?"

"Sing an opera. When the time comes, sing an opera for the soldiers to boost morale."

"Well, there is some truth to it. How did you come here?"

"Hey, I was a little afraid of death earlier, and I was more hesitant."

"Aren't you afraid of death now?"

"I'm afraid, but we are men, you girls are not afraid, if we are afraid, it will be unreasonable."

"Okay, let's get on board."

The two boarded the boat, and Xichun came over.

"Sister Daiyu, Fourth Brother Min was talking nonsense again during his speech."

"What did he say?"

"What I said at the beginning was quite satisfactory. It was about helping the great virtues, saving the people, and setting sail for dreams. In the end, I even said that those single soldiers, no matter what means they use, when they come back, each of them will bring back one The lady is back."

"It's ridiculous. This fourth Jia, who hasn't been to Fang Jiewa for three days, is going out to fight this time, so I will take advantage of him first. When I come back in the future, I will post a long article, and I will settle the old and new ones together, and clean him up. Let's go , get on board!"

The fleet set sail, and nearly a hundred ships, large and small, gradually left the dock.

The singing sounded, "Oh Friends Goodbye" on the boat, and "Girls" on the shore.

"Goodbye friend, goodbye friend, goodbye friend, goodbye friend..."

"Just as the pear blossoms are blooming all over the world, the gentle veil is floating on the river..."
