Chapter 0231 - Suddenly Released (1)
Baochai's statement that the historian wants to propose marriage for Jia Min is not groundless. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Two days ago, when the Shi family came to Jiafu to congratulate Jia Min on exploring flowers in high school, Mrs. Shi Ding revealed this to Mrs. Wang.
Maybe this topic came relatively suddenly, or maybe it was because there were many people at that time, and it was inconvenient to talk about it, so the topic at that time did not have time to go deeper.
However, this matter was spread by someone and spread to Baochai.
At this time, Baochai already had feelings for Jia Min, so she was naturally anxious.
Shi Xiangyun understands that whether it is talent, appearance, or temperament, they are all very good, if this matter is really officially mentioned, it is really very likely to become.
In fact, at this time, not only the historians, but also other families are completely possible to take action.
With Jia Min's current identity and future, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a sought-after commodity.
This gives Baochai a sense of crisis.
Although she knew Jia Min's intentions for her, before the elders decided on this matter, the feelings between the two did not count.
Therefore, after Baochai went home, he told his mother about the Shi family's proposal.
The so-called knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, how can Aunt Xue not understand? In addition, now I feel that Jia Min is also a suitable person, so I have the heart to marry Baochai to Jia Min.
went to Wang Xifeng to inquire about Jia Min, in addition to really wanting to understand Jia Min, the main purpose was to spread this matter through Wang Xifeng's mouth.
When the news spread, if someone in the outside world wanted to marry their daughter to Jia Min, they would be discouraged because of this.
At the same time, you can also take this opportunity to test the reaction of Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng and Jia Mu. If the other party doesn't have this intention, he will come out to refute the rumors at this time, or communicate with Aunt Xue in private, so as to save Aunt Xue from being embarrassed and hurt the harmony when Aunt Xue mentions this matter in the future.
If the other party also has this meaning, when the time comes, you can push the boat down the river, and the two parties hit it off and achieved this marriage.
Aunt Xue also took a lot of thought to deal with it like this.
Although Wang Xifeng promised Jia Min that he would not publicize this matter to the outside world. But, is her character a person who keeps secrets?
Such gossip news has always been a legend that people love. Therefore, Jia Min walked on the front foot, and she went to Mrs. Wang and told Aunt Xue about looking for her. When I was leaving, I didn't forget to tell Mrs. Wang to keep it secret.
Then Wang Xifeng went to You Shi again, and repeated it like this.
You repeated this story in the same way, so it didn't take long for this matter to spread almost all over the east and west.
In the end, only Jia Min and Baochai were left to know.
Jia Min and Baochai chatted so casually. What Baochai said was mostly about business, and what Jia Min said was about some military training and imperial examinations.
These topics are actually not interesting, but when you are in a good mood, no matter what you say, it is interesting.
The warm time flows so slowly, making people feel the beauty of life.
Feng Ziying came, saying that someone from the military department had conveyed the military order, and asked Jia Min to go back immediately to accept the military order.
Although he didn't say what the order was, Jia Min didn't dare to slack off, so he and Feng Ziying immediately returned to the Yeduju barracks.
It was Cheng Shilang from the Ministry of War, and when he was trying in Shuntianfu Township, Jia Min dealt with this person. To some extent, Cheng Shilang can also be regarded as Jia Min's teacher.
The soldier is the deputy of the military department, and it is indeed incomprehensible that he personally went to a newly established government corps to convey orders.
At the same time, it also shows that this matter is indeed important.
After a little greeting at the meeting, Cheng Shilang announced the order. Although Jia Min was shocked, he still signed the receipt.
After Cheng Shilang finished his work, he politely encouraged him a few words, and then took people away. Jia Min and the others were left looking at each other.
The order of the military department was: the Yedu Jufu Corps was officially incorporated into the army sequence of the imperial court, and set off on the eighteenth day of the first month of the Ming Dynasty to garrison Ningguta outside the Guan, which was controlled by General Ningguta.
Since it is a military training, it is normal to go wherever you go to garrison or even fight. However, for the Nodu Jufu Corps, this order did come suddenly and with a strange twist.
This command, in many ways, seems unusual and unconventional.
"We've only been practicing for two months, why did you send us out on an errand so quickly, not to mention that we are just government soldiers, even if it is a guard station, there is no reason to send out to garrison in such a short time."
Chen Yejun was the first to show indignation.
"yes, we haven't even finished some basic training, how can we go out to fight? I don't know what these officers and masters of the military department think? also said that the emperor also agreed, I don't believe it, the emperor has all the opportunities, where can he think of our heads? ”
It was Wei Ruolan who spoke.
"It's a bit suspicious. Even if there is a shortage of people on the Ningguta side, the surrounding army and even the veterans can be transferred, and it seems that it will not be the turn of our recruits. ”
Feng Ziying was also puzzled.
"Ningguta is thousands of miles away from the pass, it is a bitter cold place in the far north, and half a year is icy and snowy, and from here, just on the road, you have to walk for three or four months."
"It's just three or four months, but along the way, the food and accommodation of more than 1,000 of us is a big deal. Although there are post stations and military platforms on the road, there is not much place, and when the time comes, it is inevitable to sleep outside. If the weather is warm, it's okay, but this ice and snow, the farther you go north, the colder it gets, I'm afraid that you will freeze to death halfway through. ”
"Naninguta is nothing but a place of exile, and even if it is a garrison, it is only a guard for convicts. Where are we used? ”
"Yes, if it's just guarding the prisoners, I'm afraid there will be a war. I heard a few days ago that in the past few years, the Cossack cavalry of the Rus Empire has often invaded the territory, sometimes thousands of miles deep, driving straight in, as if entering a no-man's land. If they do, they will inevitably have to fight them. ”
"We're not afraid of war, but our army hasn't been trained yet. Besides, the Cossack cavalry of the Rus Empire was equipped with firearms, and their cavalry were all elite divisions that had been in battle for a long time, and they were very brave and brave. We have a bunch of recruits, and we don't have any firearms, how can we fight them? ”
Jia Min let a few people complain, and came to the courtyard alone.
This order from the military department is indeed abrupt and weird, and he needs to take a good look at his thoughts and calm down.
Ningguta, as a place of exile, actually began at the beginning of the establishment of the Dade Dynasty, and has a history of more than 100 years.
In the beginning, it was mainly used as a place of exile for prisoners of the previous dynasty, and later, it was used as a place of exile for criminals.
It's true that it's cold and snowy in winter, but it's not all wilderness, and in some places, there are still more prosperous towns. However, compared to the lands of Gangnam, Zhili and Gyeonggi, it is undoubtedly much more desolate.
In fact, Ningguta is not just a place of exile. It was also the political and military center of the Daedoku Dynasty's administration of the entire Northeast Frontier. The territory under its jurisdiction is very large.
From the north of Shengjing City in Mukden to the area around Sakhalin Island, it is the jurisdiction of Ningguta, which spans thousands of miles from north to south.
Even the place of exile is not only Ningguta, but also Mingyang Fort to the south and Bukui to the north, which are all places where criminals are exiled.
Mingyang Fort is the closest, in the Kaiyuan area. Jia Min's friend Sun Yuanfei served as a garrison there.
As for Bukui, it is even farther than Ningguta. It will take almost a month to travel from Ningguta to Bukui. Moreover, Bukui was more sparsely populated, and its location was closer to the north, and closer to the Rus Empire.
In the event of a war with the Rus' Empire, it would be closer to the front line.
The knowledge of his previous life taught him that Bukui was a vast plain as far as the eye could see, which was more suitable for cavalry warfare. It is no wonder that there were Cossack cavalry plundering deep into the territory.
If you go to the Northeast Frontier, relatively speaking, if you go to a place like Ningguta, it will be good, but if you are sent to a place like Bukui, you will be unlucky.
General Ningguta is the highest military and political chief in the northeast region, and in the military order of the Ministry of War, it is said that it is under the control of General Ningguta. Then Jia Min was under his command.
Will he send his army to a front line like Bukui? Even if it wasn't the front line, would it be arranged to go to a more inhospitable place?
Jia Min is not afraid of hardship, nor is he afraid of war. From the day he trained his troops, he knew that he would most likely have to fight in the future.
When he hadn't participated in the martial arts yet, he knew that once he won the martial arts, he would probably be released in the future.
Therefore, he accelerated the reform process in Jiafu, intending to make Jiafu stable when he is not in Jiafu in the future, and he can have a stable rear.
The problem is that this change came too quickly. Many things, he is not ready.
In the training of soldiers, we are now at the most critical stage. However, the real weapons training and tactical training have not yet begun in earnest.
Although a relatively good foundation has been laid, the prefectural corps still has a long way to go before it can form its combat effectiveness.
If the government corps is pulled to the battlefield now, let alone winning the battle, it is even a question of whether it can protect itself. The biggest possibility is to be cannon fodder.
It is not only the quality of personnel and equipment, but also a key shortcoming.
Although the official establishment of the army was obtained, it was possible to obtain some equipment and military expenses. However, the level of equipment and the amount of military spending are at most the same as those of other armies.
If this is the case, the improvement of combat effectiveness is very limited.
The development of weapons in his own firearms workshop has not yet reached the stage of production. This means that he is not yet able to obtain the firearms he wants from his own firearms workshop.
Even if firearms are produced in the future, it is likely that the assistance to him will be limited.
First of all, the long distance of thousands of miles determined that it was almost impossible to send equipment from the imperial capital to the military operation.
The cost of firearms is already high, and with the huge cost of freight, the price of firearms can be unaffordable.
The military expenses given by the imperial court are only given according to the level of the general army, and even if Jia Min himself sticks money into it, he can't afford it.
Even if he himself had enough money, the long transportation distance decided that this plan would be difficult to achieve.
From the imperial capital to Ningguta, a one-way journey takes three or four months, and by the time you get the equipment to the front, the war may be over before three or four months.
