Chapter 0397: The Follower's Back Road
Recently, there has been an increase in the number of merchants coming to Bukui from the north, most of whom have fled from the Windula grasslands.
According to them, the grasslands of North Windula have suddenly become chaotic recently. The leaders of some tribes were suddenly killed, and the commanders of some tribes also died overnight.
Their pasture was set on fire, and cattle, sheep, horses, and other livestock were released, and they ran to the grassland.
The head man was killed, leaving a power vacuum, and in order to compete for the position of the head man, a struggle for power began within some tribes.
Among them, the first to be killed was Vadagas, the leader of the Vale Valley tribe.
Originally, Wadagasi was going to lead his troops to South Wendura to launch an offensive against Bukui.
Due to the sudden death of Vadagas, the plan of 15,000 people of the Vale Valley tribe to go to South Wendura had to be stopped.
The planned joint attack of the Vali Valley and the Hidewa tribe on Bukui had also to be aborted.
As for when it will be restored, there is no news yet.
On the 11th day of August in the year of Wuyin, the envoy of the Jingying Festival, the general consul of the affairs of Windula and the prince Teng, arrived in Bukui. He was accompanied by 7,500 of his subordinates and some of his relatives.
Jia Lian, Baochai, Daiyu, Ping'er, etc., arrived together.
Eight days later, a delegation of emissaries from North Windura arrived in Bukui.
According to the itinerary, they could have reached Bukui in three days, but for some reason, they were delayed by five days.
The original planned list of emissaries has also changed, and none of the three main figures have come this time.
According to the messenger's explanation, it was they who were too busy with the affairs of the tribe to get out of it.
However, Jia Min and the others knew that they would never come. Because they all died in the "decapitation operation".
Wang Ziteng held two talks with the envoys of North Windura, but because the conditions of the two sides were so far apart that no agreement could be reached. So, according to the original agreement, the Tatar envoy group went south to the imperial capital and negotiated directly with the imperial court.
The next day, accompanied by Jia Min, Wang Ziteng came to Luwanzi to watch a company led by Qin Zhong practice here.
This was the last exercise, and after this exercise, the special training to rescue the prince and the princess ended.
Tomorrow, they will embark on a journey to rescue the prince and princess.
The first subject is the review, and because of the small number of people, only 120 people, there is no such thing as a column. The soldiers lined up in two rows, and it was over when they appeared in front of the chincha.
However, this simple ceremony still left a deep impression on Wang Ziteng.
These soldiers made him feel that they were obviously different from the soldiers of other armies. The most obvious is the high fighting spirit and awe-inspiring murderous spirit.
The second is the long-gun shooting. It was some straw men who were fighting.
The third item is a series of gun shooting.
This item left a shocking feeling for Wang Ziteng. Nine serial guns were launched together, and the straw men in front of them were smashed in an instant. For a moment, the air was full of flying grass.
The last item is the spray can. The oil was everywhere, and the straw men immediately burst into flames.
Seeing this devastating attack, Rao is battle-hardened prince Teng couldn't help but be shocked.
"Brother Min, where did you get these things?"
"Don't hide it from my uncle, I made it myself."
"It cost a lot of silver, didn't it?"
"It's a lot, and the money is spent like water."
"Where did you get all this money? The military expenditure of the imperial court is far from enough. ”
"At first it was all my own money, and then I took out some silver from the tribute of South Windura, and then it was the money earned by the exiles."
"It's a good thing, but it's also easy to get into trouble. What would you do if the court asked you for these things? ”
"Tell them to buy it with money? Things are very expensive, and they can't afford to pay for them. ”
"What if they want to make it themselves?"
"Tell them to make it? In a few years, it can't be made. My mechanics here won't go. ”
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to help you then."
"Don't worry, uncle, I have my own arrangements."
"How many of these things do you have?"
"At present, it is only enough to equip the government corps. There are more long guns and short guns, if my uncle's Beijing camp wants to equip them, I can provide them. However, you have to buy it with money. ”
"It's natural to take money, Jingying belongs to the imperial court, not my own family. They won't give me any money, though. ”
"That's true, my uncle doesn't have a reason to post money by himself."
"Okay, after watching your drill, my heart is relaxed. Rescuing the crown prince and recovering South Ventura does not seem to be a big deal. From now on, I will leave everything to you. I'm happy to be an idler and cultivate myself here. ”
"Uncle is polite, it's up to my uncle to call the shots on major matters."
"It's okay, you just let it go. Just let me know when the time comes. I really don't want to be an official anymore? If the crown prince and princess are rescued, I will report to the emperor, and you will still be reinstated. ”
"Of course, the emperor loves face, but if he does too much, it will be difficult for him to explain to the people below. There has been impunity. It is also a taboo to be rewarded for meritorious service, and it is difficult to convince the public. ”
"I really don't do it, if my uncle is interested, please report to the imperial court, let Feng Ziying take over my position, and reward them for their meritorious deeds."
"Since Brother Min has made up his mind, let's do as you want. You can go about your business, I'm fishing here, just leave me alone, just call me when you set the meal. ”
"Then I'll go to the official village over there, and I'll let the uncle know when the dinner is set up later."
Jia Min came to the Guanzhuang of Luowanzi, that is, the Bukui Experimental Farm. As soon as Jia Min came in, Du Qingshan, the director of the farm, and Mr. and Mrs. Cervante greeted him warmly.
When Jiang Shilang from the Criminal Department came last year, Jia Min asked him to help solve the case of the Cervantes.
In the end, Jiang Shilang adopted a compromise method and changed the verdict of the case. At the end of last year, the two had completed their sentences and are now free men.
The two of them have been in Middle-earth for a long time, and now they are used to being here, and they plan to settle here with the salary of the yamen.
After a while, Mrs. Cervante made milk tea and chatted while drinking.
The topics are mainly tobacco, reindeer breeding, and the domestication and breeding of mink.
Tobacco has basically matured from seed breeding, planting technology, roasting technology, processing technology, etc.
For the cigarette machine, Dai Zhi has already trial-produced a prototype, and then it can be finalized with appropriate improvements.
The tobacco project, according to Jia Min's original positioning, is an official project of the Bukui Yamen.
However, now he has changed his mind.
He decided not to hand over the project to the authorities.
If the tobacco project becomes the official industry, in the future, if the government corps is no longer here, it will become a wedding dress for others. Busy in vain.
Even here, if you make a lot of money in the future, the imperial court is likely to be red-eyed.
So, Jia Min decided to develop it as a private partnership project. The shareholders are these subordinates who are currently in Bukui.
Including officers and soldiers of the prefectural corps. Officials and officials in the Bukui yamen, as well as people like the Cervantes, who contributed to the project.
These people, as his followers, used to be central to him. Now that they still have influence over Bukui, it is necessary to plan for their future livelihood.
For the soldiers of the government corps, Jia Min also has arrangements.
After the recovery of South Windura, they are ready to train them in skills. Let each soldier learn a few techniques and master several means of making a living.
Craftsmen, among the four major classes of Shinong, industry and commerce, belong to the "worker" class, and their status is higher than that of merchants.
Although it is hard, as long as you have the craft, it will not be a problem to make a living in the future.
Now they earn a relatively high salary as soldiers, and this is only the internal treatment of the government corps, if they don't have this treatment, they can't get this money at all if they are paid according to the standards of the imperial court.
Even whether you can receive it on time and whether you will be deducted is a question.
The soldiers will not fight forever, and the government corps does not dare to guarantee that it will always maintain its current structure. In case the soldiers were decommissioned, or reorganized, they would not have the good life they have now.
Even Jia Min, the head of the regiment, was easily stripped of his fame and reduced to the people, not to mention others?
Jia Min was stripped of his fame and cut off his post for the people, which is already well known in Bukui. Du Qingshan and the Cervante couple have known for a long time.
However, in their eyes, it is no different from before. Jia Min is still Jia Min, and Chief Min is still Chief Min. Whether there is fame and official position or not is not important in their eyes.
After chatting for a while, Jia Min came to Hua Yusheng's room.
Hua Yusheng is still being held in solitary confinement, and from time to time he is asked to come out and let off the wind in the courtyard.
However, he rarely screamed and made a fuss now.
"Flower rain, how are you staying during this time?"
"Alas, Sir Min, what's good? How good can it be? ”
Jia Min also knew that his words were pale and weak.
A young man in the prime of life was wronged for cheating in the field, and was finally exiled and lost his personal freedom.
"I have found Guo Qisheng, and he admitted that it was a false accusation. is also ready to expose the original mastermind behind the scenes. ”
"However, you should also know that so much time has passed since this matter, and some people are still in high positions, so it is quite difficult to do this."
"Now that I'm just a white person, many things are not as convenient as before."
"However, since I promised you in the first place, I will take care of this matter to the end. I will do my best to restore your innocence. So, you also need to be a little patient. ”
"Chief Min is like this, Hua is already grateful. If it's too difficult, Chief Min doesn't have to be reluctant. It's very rare that you can do that. Hua is left to fate. ”
