The next wine was very dull. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Yuan made this decision in front of Jiang Shilang, obviously with a decision. Even if it is reported to the emperor in a few days, nothing will change.

Jia Min knew that it was useless to say anything, so he drank for a while, and under the pretext that something was wrong, he retired first.

The only thing that gave him some comfort was that Li Yuan gave him the power to expand his army and the power to no longer be controlled by General Ningguta.

This power, in fact, is still very large. This means that within a radius of thousands of miles under the entire jurisdiction of Bukui, he is the master.

However, this power does not seem to be of much use.

Although the territory is large, the people and things that can be managed are very limited. It is nothing more than the more than 10,000 displaced people and tens of thousands of residents in Bukui.

As for the indigenous tribes in the vast expanse of the land, the imperial court almost never exercised effective jurisdiction and governance. Not to mention the Rus' cavalry out there.

Give you a planet and make you the emperor of this planet. However, you are alone on the entire planet, what is the use of this emperor?

Jia Min left, leaving Li Yuan and Jiang Shilang to continue drinking.

Jiang Shilang's errand has been settled, and Li Yuan has also grabbed Jia Min to fill the big hole of Bukui.

However, there was not the slightest hint of excitement between the two. The atmosphere was dull.

"Is it okay to ask him to go to Bukui?"

"What if not? Whoever is asked to go, no one wants to go. As soon as the personal selection was decided here, before it was announced, a large number of intercessors came, some were entrusted to several scholars, some were entrusted to the palace, and even more, to the emperor. ”

"So you're going to use Jia Min as a substitute for the dead ghost?"

"Not really, maybe he can really make a name for himself."

Do you believe this? Even if he has some ability, he is only fifteen years old after all, and he has never fought a war, so what can he do? If he comes back alive, it will be his life. ”

Seeing Jiang Shilang say this, Li Yuan stopped squeaking.

In fact, he didn't expect Jia Min to do anything.

Previously, he had thought about giving up Bukui. It's just that this matter is too sensitive, so he didn't bring it up. If anyone catches the pigtail and says that he has abandoned the land and fears war, he cannot afford this responsibility.

Now that Jia Min is caught, he can deal with it for a while. I hope that Jia Min can live a little longer, and when he is no longer in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, what happens in the future will be none of his business.

Jia Min returned to the gate of the military department, Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan had already finished their work and were waiting for him there.

"Good news, bad news, which one do you listen to first?"

"Naturally, I heard the good news first."

Feng Ziying said.

"The good news is that you've all been promoted to the next level."

"That's good news, we all know that. Didn't it just settle for the morning? ”

"The morning is the morning, and on the basis of the morning, it will be upgraded by one level."

"Chief Min, no, this official is no longer valuable, and he won't be promoted to a level in such a short time, is this too fast?"

Wei Ruolan still didn't believe it.

"Well, Chief Min, what about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that we're stationed in Bukui."

After Jia Min finished speaking, he got on his horse and left.

"What kind of bad news is this, isn't it just stationed in Bukui, what? Bu Kui? Chief of Guard, did I hear me right? ”

"Yes, Chief of Staff Feng, you heard it right, it's Bu Kui. However, the previous news seems to be bad news as well. ”

When the few people returned to Yeduju, Jia Min locked himself in the house and didn't see anyone.

When others saw that his face was not good, no one bothered him.

After dinner in the evening, Jia Min is like this again. Until the end of the day, Jia Min found Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan.

Jia Min explained to the three of them about escorting the prisoners and garrisoning Bukui. Only then did a few people determine that Jia Min was not joking with them, and he was indeed going to garrison Bukui.

They also know a thing or two about Bu Kui, so they naturally know what it means.

"This Li Yuan is simply black-hearted, isn't it obvious that he is pushing us into the fire pit."

"So many old people don't need it, isn't it just to send us newcomers to Bukui for nothing?"

"It's enough to go to Ningguta, and even told us to go to Bukui. There are so many soldiers who are training, and there are so many regular troops who don't go, why do they have to ask us to go? ”

"Can you come back?"

Jia Min and a few others complained for a while, and then spoke.

"This is a fait accompli and cannot be changed. In two days, it will become the emperor's will. So, from now on, we have to give up our illusions and get ready to do things in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"I know that someone is plotting against us behind this, and it is mainly against me. So, I'm going to give you a choice. ”

Jia Min stood up and stared at the three of them solemnly.

"Usually, we're friends. But being a friend doesn't mean you're going to be with me to bad luck. So, you can choose to go with me or you can choose not to. If you don't go, don't be a burden, we're still brothers. I will come forward to negotiate with the Ministry of War to remove you, and your future will not be affected by this. ”

"Chief Min, it's not right for you to say that. You are our commander, and we are brothers, will we go with you at this time? There is no reason why you have gone, and we have left. ”

Feng Ziying was the first to express her position.

"Yes, Chief Min, what the chief of staff said is right, we are a collective, naturally we advance and retreat together, life and death together."

Chen Yejun has also become serious.

"Naturally, we're not going to quit. Besides, the sons and soldiers of our families are here, so where is the reason for us to withdraw? ”

Wei Ruolan has another idea.

Although they have now been incorporated by the imperial court, they are all the children of each family, and as the leaders of each family, they naturally have no reason to quit.

"Well, you didn't disappoint me. We don't have time to complain, we have to start preparing now. ”

"Now, I'm going to give you the main task for the near future."

"With regard to the escort of prisoners, the main points are as follows: First, on the question of the route of the march. Starting from the imperial capital, to Tianjin Wei, and taking the waterway from Tianjin Wei, this section can save nearly ten days than taking the land route. ”

"Then, land in Niuzhuang in Liaonan and then take the land route to Bukui."

"The chief of health set out three days later, and he followed this route, surveyed the march route along the way, and arranged food and lodging along the way. Those who have a military platform will camp in the military platform, and those who do not have a military platform will camp in the wilderness. ”

The so-called military station is a military station.

"After landing at Niuzhuang, 50 horse-drawn carriages were purchased in the local area, plus harnesses and mules and horses, and after landing, all the prisoners went in horse-drawn carriages."

Let the prisoners go in a carriage? Several people were surprised.

The prisoners who had been exiled had not yet ridden in a carriage. It's all on foot.

"Who spends money on carriages and horses?"

"We spend our own money."

Spend your own money and tell the prisoner to go in a carriage? Is this necessary, isn't this a habitual criminal?

"I know what you're thinking, but. We're going to settle the big score. ”

Jia Min also felt that his idea was too abrupt, so it was necessary to explain it to them.

"Walking by water is to save time, and calling prisoners to ride in carriages is also to save time."

"Our soldiers are all on horseback, and their baggage and grain and grass are also pulled by carts. If the prisoner walks, he can't keep up with us. We have to sacrifice speed to get prisoners, which is bound to delay more time on the road. ”

"In addition, the use of horse-drawn carriages for prisoners greatly lengthens the daily march. As long as you rest for three hours a day, the rest of the time can be used to rush. ”

"The time on the road is shorter, and the consumption of food and drink along the way is less. The purchased chariots and horses are also useful when they arrive in Bukui, and the province has to buy them when they get there. ”

"Under normal circumstances, it takes nearly four months to travel from the imperial capital to Bukui. We're going this way, and I think it's going to be in two months. ”

"Why two months? Because these two months are very precious. Where is the preciousness? It is because after we arrive in Bukui, we can catch up with next year's spring ploughing. When we get there, we can have more than half a month to prepare for spring ploughing, so that we can arrange the grain and vegetables for next year. ”

"In fact, it is not only the issue of food and vegetables, but also many things, and we can take the initiative. You'll find out later. ”

"The second item will be handled by Chief of Staff Feng. Tomorrow, you will go to the Criminal Department to find Jiang Shilang and do two things. The first is to transfer the case files of these prisoners, and after they return, they will be screened. ”

"What to sift for? Each person is grouped according to their crime, sentence, type of crime, gender, age, etc. When the time comes, put the similar ones together. In a group of 12 people, a prisoner leader will be selected from among these 12 people, and when the time comes, he will be put in charge of the management of this group, which will save us a lot of effort. Each group, when the time comes, is a carriage. Even the coachman came out of the prisoners. ”

"The second item, just what I said, asked Jiang Shilang to give an order to the prison to improve the food of these 500 prisoners and strengthen their physique from now on. In return, I tried to get all 500 prisoners alive to get to Bukui. ”

How is it possible that 500 people have arrived in Bukui alive?

Although they had never personally escorted prisoners, they still had some knowledge of escorting prisoners to their places of exile.

It is not uncommon for people to die of illness, starvation, freezing, and being bitten to death by wild beasts on the way to Ningguta to escort prisoners. Eighty out of ten can be delivered to the place, which is very good.

Now three or four thousand miles away, and it is ice and snow, how can it be possible to achieve 500 people alive?

"What others can't do, we can do. We're here to create a miracle. ”

Jia Min stood up and walked to the window, which he pushed open even though it was already winter.

"Actually, it's not a miracle, it's just something we should do. A real miracle in Bukui. He's waiting for us to create. ”

"Three brothers, I'm glad you chose to be with me, and I'm proud to have a brother like you. Bukui is like a blank sheet of paper, waiting for us to draw the latest and most beautiful picture. Vast world, great achievements. ”

"Those who calculate us, they are doomed. Someday, we're going to come back and settle accounts with them. ”

"Those who want to see our jokes, they are destined to be disappointed, and one day, they will regret it."

"Today I promise you that I will lead you to the greatest glory."

Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, and Wei Ruolan followed Jia Min's gaze and looked out the window together.

Although there is no moon, the stars in the sky shine with this brilliant brilliance.

Although the window was cold, they all had a feeling, and that was the blood boiling.
