The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 607 You better not go

After Jiao Li finished talking about what happened, Jia Min couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

This incident did surprise him.

The surprise was mainly in the actions of Emperor Yuanheng, and the way Shui Rong and Ji Mingluan handled the matter.

Jia Min didn't have any opinion about Chang'an.

Before that, he already knew Chang An's thoughts.He actually had a good impression of Chang'an, and he had imagined that he would be with Chang'an even more in the future.

However, Yuan Heng had been suppressing himself before, and Zhao Yingqi succeeded to the throne, and he didn't have a good impression of Jia Min.

In this case, there is no possibility for the two to come together.

The great virtue was destroyed, the Chang'an family was ruined, and there was only one person left struggling to persevere. This is not the time to talk about this matter at all.

If Jia Min brought up this matter at this time, he would undoubtedly be taking advantage of others.

This kind of approach, in his own heart, is a hurdle, and he will not be able to pass it first.

Unexpectedly, the result of the matter turned out to be like this. Yuan Heng, who had been suppressing him before, betrothed Chang'an to himself before he died.In fact, this is entrusting Chang'an's life to himself.

Shui Rong and Ji Mingluan announced their marriage to the outside world without informing himself or his family elders in advance, and Jia Min naturally understood their intentions.

The purpose is nothing more than to kidnap Jia Min and ask Jia Min to help Chang'an restore the country.

In fact, it doesn't have to be like this, I was helping Chang'an in the first place.

Of course, the selfishness of the two of them is at play here.

Announcing it in this way is of course attracting the hearts of the world.However, this exposed their hidden thoughts, that is, they prefer Chang'an to be emperor in the future.

Being the emperor of Chang'an, he has a natural advantage in blood, and in concept, he is closer to Shui Rong and Ji Dashi.

Shui Rong and the others defected to Chang'an at this time, and if they succeed in restoring the country in the future, they will also get a higher position.

On the contrary, if Jia Min became the emperor, although Jia Min also respected them, the country was brought down by Jia Min, and they didn't make much effort, so they didn't have much status with Jia Min.

Another important point is that their philosophy is very different from Jia Min's.

They should understand Jia Min's philosophy of governing Bukui and Beihai. There are many ideas that conflict with them.

If Jia Min became the emperor, there would be great uncertainty for them.

Once Chang'an and Jia Min got married, if Chang'an became the emperor, Jia Min would be ashamed to rob Chang'an.

The thoughts of Shui Rong and Ji Mingluan actually represent the common thoughts of the group behind them.

When Jia Min was in the Dade Dynasty, he had no ambitions. As the survivors of Dade, they were naturally worried that Jia Min would not welcome them.

"These two guys have nothing to do all day, but they have figured me out."

Jia Min couldn't help smiling wryly.

"But what can this do? I will marry Chang'an in the future, and she will be the emperor, but my child will not be the emperor in the future? It is enough for me to have Beihai. I can govern Beihai according to my ideas and make Beihai my ideal." Why do you have to go back to Dade and fight with people with different ideas like you all day?"

"Jiao Li, you are not an outsider, what do you think of this matter?"

"Officer Min, do you want me to tell the truth or lie?"

"Nonsense, naturally tell the truth."

"Officer Min, although the King of Beijing and Bachelor Ji have their own selfish intentions in this matter, I think they did a good job."

"Tell me, what's a good way?"

"It's a beautiful thing for Chief Min to marry Chang'an. If Chang'an wants to be the emperor, let her do it. It's not easy to be the emperor of Dade. How can we be as carefree as we are in Beihai? They know how to intrigue all day long." , how can it be like we are together, we only do serious things a day, and no one needs to be wary of anyone?"

"Besides, even if you don't become the emperor, your descendants will be the emperor in the future. This emperor will always belong to your family. You are the emperor in Beihai. In the future, there will be two emperors in a family. Wouldn't it be better for you to be an emperor with great virtue? Good deal?"

"Joli, is there still such a calculation?"

"Hey, Chief Min, I actually discussed this matter with Liu Cheng and Mr. Dai. We don't want you to be a great emperor either."

"Why?"

"You can't go back to Beihai when you become Emperor Dade. We people have to come to help you. Originally, we were all living happily and doing things we like. Once we became officials in Dade, It can’t be like before. It’s not brother killing each other, or ransacking the house and beheading, living a miserable life.”

"Does everyone else think the same?"

"Although I haven't discussed this matter with others, I know that their thoughts are similar to mine. With such a great virtue, if you become the emperor, I'm afraid you won't have the time to manage us."

"Okay, Joli, I understand. Actually, I don't want to be the emperor of Dade."

With ammunition, field artillery, fast Franglers, machine guns, and hand grenades went into battle, and the psychology of the Mogs quickly collapsed.

It was very difficult for them to fight the Beihai people before. The reason why they rushed to pursue them now was because they thought that the opponent had no ammunition.

Now seeing that the opponent has a lot of ammunition, the first reaction is that he has been fooled.

With this judgment, there is timidity in my heart, and I don't want to fight, so I want to run away.

The volunteer army had no ammunition before, and was forced to fight with the Mogu people for sabers, causing a large number of casualties.

He had been holding back his stomach for a long time, and now that he had ammunition, he vented all his anger.They took the Mogu people as targets, ravaged them wantonly, and killed them.

Artest, Hataro, and Jamuduo saw that the situation was over, so they had no choice but to surrender.There are two other ten thousand captains.Nine commanders surrendered.

Most of the rest of the officers, including He Anda, were precisely shot by Wei Ruoshui's special forces, and were killed in the chaos.

After three hours of fierce fighting, [-] or [-] Mogu finally broke out and fled desperately.

The Beihai side did not stop, and pursued from behind.After chasing for a while, it became dark, and the Mogu people began to disperse and fled into the vast snowfield, and then they stopped chasing.

When the battle had not started before, the men and horses of several small tribes fell behind. When they saw the guns of the Volunteers firing, they didn't fight at all, and turned around and ran away.

The South Wendula cavalry did not stop, and continued to advance, returning to Tulongliangzi along the original road.

The rest of the soldiers and horses withdrew their troops and returned to the place where the supply team was.

The grain, grass, yurts, etc. brought by the Mogu people have become trophies, and they will set up camp here tonight.

The Mog people brought a lot of meat and a lot of wine.The victory of this battle has completely defeated the main force of the Mogu people, and there is no longer any force that can pose any threat, so Jia Min ordered to drink and eat meat tonight to celebrate.

Piles of bonfires were lit, and cauldrons were set up, and the camp was immediately illuminated like daylight, brightly lit everywhere.

Not long after, the wine and meat came up, and the camp was immediately filled with the smell of wine and meat, the sound of punching and fighting wine, and the "Girls" and "Song of Goodbye, Friend" that I sometimes think of, intertwined and resounded through the night sky.

Of course, there is also occasional crying, which is to miss the lost comrades in arms.

The captives such as Artai, Hataro, and Jamuduo also received preferential treatment, with wine and meat, and Wei Ruolan and Jia Lian accompanied them to eat wine.

"Come on, Great Chief Artai, we were enemies before, now we are friends after the war, let's drink and get drunk tonight."

Wei Ruolan raised his wine glass, and Jia Lian also sponsored.

"Yeah, we are friends now, and we will work together in the future. Hataro, Zamuduo, you two also drink, isn't it just a loss, what's so great, if you have the opportunity to fight again in the future gone."

"Well, well, we don't dare to fight anymore, if you can let us go back, thank God."

Artest said cautiously, the previous heroic spirit and ambition had completely disappeared.

"What's the hurry, we finally met, and we have to stay together for a while. When we go back in a few days, you will go to Beihai with us and stay for a few years."

"You don't need to bother. When you get there, you have to eat and live. You are wasting money, and I feel sorry."

"Zamuduo, it's not good for you to be so polite. Today we entertained you for a drink, did we ask you for money?"

Jia Lian pretended to be angry.

You didn't ask for money, but which wine or meat is yours?They were all brought by us, what we ate was our own food, but instead it became your treat?

Artai wished he could kill Wei Ruolan and Jia Lian, but he had a smile on his face.

"Please speak kindly to Huaiyuan, both of you, and let us go home as soon as possible. We will be rewarded when the time comes."

"It's not necessary to reward us, you know the rules, and when the time comes, call someone from your family, um, um, ah, you understand, so don't I need to say more?"

"Yes, yes, we understand the ransom. Let's see, how much is it?"

"Well, how much depends on whether you are sincere. If it is suitable, we will wait here. If it is not suitable, we can go get it ourselves, but it will take a few more steps. It is just my soldiers, and you I see, you killed so many of us, and they are angry with you, if they came to your house, they might even set fire to the yurt."

"Don't, don't, don't go, we'll call our family."

"That's right. As for the number, we will set it down, so that you don't have to worry about getting more or less."

"Look, how kind our chief of the guard is to you, even thought of this. We will go out tomorrow and go to your various tribes. When the time comes, we will bring back some things by the way. But don't worry, as long as you stay at home Send the things here, and your family will not be touched."

"Then how much do we have to pay?"

Artest asked tentatively.

"This time, the San Francisco gave you 10 taels, so of course we have to take it out."

"Yes, that's natural, we will give you 10 taels, and let us go back?"

"Hey, Artest, you are not being kind. The 10 taels were given by San Francisco, how could it be counted on you? One yard is one yard, you take your own."

"I still want to take it?"

"Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't take it, we will get it ourselves when the time comes."

"No, no, let's send it over."

"That's right, come, have a drink!"

Similar plots are also being played out with other captured captains and commanders.
