Chapter 189: Escort
On the fifth day after Meng He led the army away, Jia Ke returned to Kaiping Town from the northern grassland with his spoils this time, two or three million taels of silver and a population of more than 100,000.
Jia Ke came back this time, and the entire Kaiping Town was a sensation. Fan Kang brought all the civil and military forces to greet him, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he originally thought that this time Jia Ke would be able to succeed. It's just an attack on a few small tribes. It would be very good to contain the Tatars. I didn't expect Jia Ke's harvest to be so rich.
Only seeing the full of vehicles in Jia Ke's team, as well as the population who couldn't see the end of the team, and the endless herds of cattle, sheep, and horses, he knew that Jia Ke had won a big victory this time.
Surrounded by everyone in Jia Ke, welcomed by the people and soldiers in Kaiping Town, he returned all the way back to the command embassy.
Jia Ge did not rest immediately after returning to the command embassy. Instead, a meeting of all the generals in Kaiping Town was immediately convened.
In the lobby of the command room, all the generals stood on the left and right, and the eight members of the Eight Banners were also standing on one side of the lobby. This time, the generals who went out with Jia Ke all earned a lot of money one by one, and they naturally talked about it one by one, showing off to their colleagues what they had gained in this expedition. And these infantry generals who did not go out with Jia Ke next to them had red eyes of envy.
Jia Ke first returned to the inner house, changed his clothes and then came to the lobby again, as soon as Jia Ke entered the lobby, the voices of the generals disappeared immediately, and they all stood on both sides with serious faces.
After Jia Ke sat on the big chair in the middle, he said to the people below: "We went north this time, and we achieved very good results and achieved the expected goal. As a result, the Tatars had to withdraw their troops to deal with us, relieving the pressure on the other passes of the Nine Sides. It can be regarded as an explanation to the imperial court. ”
Then Jia Ke said: "All the captures of the soldiers who went out this time only need to hand over half of them. Everything else is owned by the individual. ”
Ji Zhigela couldn't help but stand up and ask at this time: "Master, we have captured a lot of women this time. The young men in the clan are anxious to marry their daughters-in-law, and they asked me to ask the master, when will these daughters-in-law be sent? ”
Jia Ke immediately laughed when he said this, "Ji Zhigra is in a hurry for you kid, I'm afraid you're thinking about your beautiful new daughter-in-law." ”
As soon as Jia Ke finished saying this, the people below burst into laughter.
Ji Zhigra scratched his head embarrassedly, and finally said: "Master, the young men of the clan have indeed asked me to come to me. and did not dare to deceive his master. ”
Jia Ke didn't embarrass him, but turned to Liu Yu next to him and said, "You are familiar with the affairs of the Manchus, and you assign the affairs of wives to the brothers." It's up to you. ”
Liu Yu immediately stood up and arched his hand and said, "Please rest assured, master, I will go to the tribes tomorrow." We must get this done as soon as possible. ”
After Jia Ke finished instructing him, he said to Chen Xi: "You are our big butler, and we have seized a lot this time." You immediately take inventory and don't lose anything. ”
Chen Xi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied to Jia Ke: "Don't worry, my lord, I will immediately organize people to complete the inventory of this batch of materials as soon as possible, and then report to your lordship." ”
Jia Ke saw that everyone was fine, and then announced that the hall was dispersed. But he left Fan Kang behind.
Jia Ke took Fan Kang to the study of the commanding embassy, and sat down separately.
Jia Ke mysteriously took out something from the package he was carrying, and then said to Fan Kang, "Sir, look at what this thing is?" ”
Fan Kang was also a little puzzled by Jia Ke's mysterious appearance. But he still opened the package according to Jia Ke's request, only to see that the package was an ordinary wooden box.
Fan Kang glanced at Jia Ke in puzzlement, and Jia Ke didn't speak, because after he hit the wooden box, Fan Kang opened the wooden box and looked inside, and immediately looked at it in shock.
Fan Kang took out the contents of the box with trembling hands, and then looked at the bottom up carefully, only to see a word engraved on it: Life is in the sky, that is, longevity and Yongchang.
Fan Kang immediately exclaimed: "Inherit the jade seal of the country!" ”
Jia Ke watched silently from the side, and it wasn't until Fan Kang slowly calmed down that he said, "Sir, this is what I found in the big tent of Arslene Khan, I have seen it, it should be true." Sir, see what I should do with this treasure. ”
Fan Kang had regained his composure at this time, thought carefully for a while, and then said to Jia Ke categorically: "Keeping this thing will not benefit the lord at all, but will be jealous." It is better to hand over to the imperial court for a splendid future for the lord. ”
After listening to Fan Kang's words, Jia Ke had a smile on his face. Fan Kang and the others mean exactly the same as his thoughts, this thing says that he is a treasure, but in fact it is just a dead thing, how can there be a real official position and territory.
"Then please ask Mr. to write a letter for me, and I will immediately send it to the capital with the fold and the jade seal of the country, so that everyone can be rewarded."
Fan Kang did not hesitate, and immediately was in the study. He drafted a memo for Jia Ke, in which he focused on his two raids on Arslen Khan this time, and coincidentally invited him to return to the jade seal of the country.
After Fan Kang finished writing, Jia Ke looked at it, Jia Ke saw that there was no problem, and stamped his commander's seal next to it, then sealed it with an envelope, sealed it with ink, and once again stamped the commander's seal.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Jia Ke was ready to send someone to send the jade seal of the country and the chapter into the capital together. This time, he was still ready to bypass the festival to envoy Wang Tao and write directly to the emperor.
However, this time Jia Ke is already the commander of Sanpin, and he is fully qualified to report to the emperor alone, and when he reaches Jia Ke's status as the commander, his control is becoming more and more relaxed.
And Jia Ke not only has to send it to the fold, but more importantly, to escort the jade seal of the country into Beijing, Jia Ke still handed over this matter to Liu Yu to do, and he is not at ease when it is handed over to others.
And let Liu Yu take all the pro-soldiers with him. But Jia Ke didn't tell them what they were escorting, but only told them that this was a very important treasure for the imperial court, and there must be no mistakes along the way, and the speed should be as fast as possible. Jia Ke equipped each of them with three horses, and asked them to deliver the treasure to the capital in one day and one night.
After Liu Yu and his soldiers were ready, Jia Ke called Liu Yu to him, handed him a wooden box wrapped in yellow cloth, and instructed again: "This time the stakes are very high, you have to be more careful along the way." Anyone who dares to stop you, whether he is a prince or nobleman or a member of the court, you can kill you without mercy. When you go to the capital, don't go to the military department to report, go directly to Tiananmen Square, and let the guards inside report to the emperor, just say that I, Jia Ke, have 100,000 urgent things to report to the emperor, and show my recital to the emperor first. When the time comes, the emperor will definitely summon you, and no one can approach this wooden box until you see the emperor. You personally escorted the wooden box to the emperor. Do you understand? ”
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Liu Yu's heart couldn't help jumping. What kind of treasure is it that should be arranged like this? But Liu Yu did not hesitate, and said to Jia Ke categorically: "Uncle, please rest assured, as long as I Liu Yu still have a life, this wooden box will be handed over to the emperor by hand."
Like an old woman, Jia Ke once again instructed him: "This time you will all wear iron armor, and you must remember that there are provocations along the way, and you must not be merciful." You only have one task, to hand over this wooden box to the emperor against all odds. ”
Liu Yu said without any hesitation: "Uncle, I'll leave now." Strive to deliver the wooden box to the emperor tomorrow morning. ”
Jia Ke patted Liu Yu on the shoulder and said, "You have to be careful on the road, you have worked the way." When I come back this time, I will prepare a small Zhuangzi for you outside of Kaiping. That is, four or five hundred acres of land. ”
Liu Yu's face was flushed with excitement, he never thought that he could also have a Zhuangzi, although he was still Jia Ke's son. But these Zhuangzi can be recorded in the name of Jia Ke, the master, as long as they are loyal to Jia Ke's children and grandchildren in the future, they will not have to pay taxes, which is to save several lifetimes of glory and wealth for their descendants.
Liu Yu set off from Kaiping Town with excitement. Along the way, there were one hundred and twenty of them, all of them dressed in iron armor, and three horses galloped in turn.
Along the way, when people saw them, they all hid to the side, not daring to get close to them for half a step.
Liu Yu galloped towards the capital day and night, and when he arrived in the capital, it was already bright. Liu Yu was about to enter Beijing from Desheng Gate, but was stopped as soon as he arrived at the city gate, and this time he didn't mean to find fault. Since one hundred and twenty of them were dressed in iron armor, and carried weapons with them, and each of them rode on tall horses, if they were not allowed to enter, the city gate officials would probably not be able to eat and walk around.
When Liu Yu saw someone blocking the road, he immediately pulled out the waist knife on his body. He said to the visitor: "I was ordered to do urgent military affairs, and I had to go directly to Miyagi to meet the emperor, because the things to escort were important, no one could approach half a step." This brother, please get out of the way, otherwise don't blame the brother, you're welcome. ”
When the city gate official heard this, his heart jumped suddenly, he had worked here for so many years, and he had never encountered such a situation. But where the duty lies, he still stepped forward and bowed and said: "This brother, I see that you are also in the army, you should understand the difficulties below, if I let you in, I am afraid it will be a violation of the military order." Why don't you take off your armor, put down your waist knife, and I'll personally accompany you to meet our lords. When the time comes, you tell him something. ”
Liu Yu felt that this person's words were very reasonable, and he wanted to agree, but he remembered what Jia Ke said. You must hand over the wooden box to the emperor with your own hands, and now if you agree with his suggestion, you must go to see his lordship, and if the man asks what the box contains, how should he answer?
So Liu Yu stopped talking nonsense with him, picked up the horsewhip and slapped him in the face. At the same time, he shouted: "I want to do urgent military affairs, and you dare to intercept it, this is eating the bear's heart and leopard's gall." So he forcibly led his troops into the city, regardless of the officials at the city gate.
When he entered the city, he knew that there must be trouble in this matter. I didn't dare to delay, and went straight to Miyagi with people.
When Liu Yu and the others arrived at Tiananmen Square, it was already heavily guarded. It turned out that the capital had its own set of communication methods, and when Liu Yu and the others had just forcibly entered the city, all kinds of news had already spread outside the palace. It's already heavily guarded, and I'm afraid they're thieves or something.
Liu Yu didn't expect things to be so big, since it had reached this point, there was only one way to go to the dark.
Liu Yu said to the soldiers guarding outside the palace wall: "I am ordered by Jia Ke, the commander of the two towns of Xuanhua and Kaiping, to see the emperor on important matters. Let's hurry up and report it, otherwise something big will happen, and I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it. After finishing speaking, he took out Jia Ke's fold from his arms and handed it forward.
