Chapter 290: Are They Worthy?
The things of the world are unpredictable......
Jia Cong served as the commander of the Xishan Governor's personal guard battalion for three months, and trained three waves of low-level officers and a wave of middle-level officers, and just rotated the Jinyang City garrison and the middle-level and low-level officers of the garrison troops of the surrounding two cities, and basically firmly controlled the garrison of the three cities.
100,000 barbarians invade the steppe outside the Saiwai!
The border military state was full of wolf smoke, and a war report reached the governor's yamen, which immediately shook the entire Xishan.
"Let's talk about it, 100,000 grassland barbarian cavalry suddenly entered the Kou, how should the Xishan side respond?"
Lin Ruhai's surface sank like water, and his eyes were blazing at the two envoys under him, the inspection and the political envoys, as well as the commanders with uneasy faces.
No one expected that the Saiwai barbarians, who had been separated for five years, suddenly entered the Kou at this time, and caught the Xishan bigwigs present by surprise.
"There's nothing to say, the border army has its own countermeasures, as long as we do a good job in logistics transportation, we don't let the military state run out of grain, grass and ordnance!"
The political envoy has been in Xishan for almost ten years, and he is definitely experienced and spicy, and he speaks slowly and slowly.
"Exactly!"
The envoy also followed: "There are also local garrison troops who must also take action to maintain the peace of the roads in the territory, and at the same time, they must also deter Xiaoxiao!" ”
Lin Ruhai nodded slightly, looked at the commander with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The transfer of the garrison army and the garrison matters will be bothering Lord Zhao!" ”
"Don't dare!"
The commander surnamed Zhao made his forehead dripping with cold sweat, and said with a forced smile: "I, I've been in poor health recently, I'm afraid I won't be able to go far away......"
Grass!
Jia Cong, who had been standing behind Lin Ruhai as a background board, glanced at this guy in some surprise: Should Nima be so timid?
Haven't you seen the face of the steppe barbarians, so scared that you don't even dare to come out of the city?
Obviously, the political envoys and envoys who were familiar with him were also quite surprised, but Lin Ruhai was full of unhappiness, and he snorted coldly and didn't say anything.
People have come up with all the excuses that they are sick, and if he urges him again, wouldn't it be suspected of sending people to death?
Fortunately, the current Xishan garrison army has basically fallen under control, otherwise if it is still such a timid leader, who would dare to rest assured?
Orders from the governor's yamen were sent to all counties in Xishan, asking the counties to strengthen their vigilance and guard against small groups of grassland barbarians who might break into the territory of Xishan.
At the same time, the yamen issued a proclamation to spread the entire Xishan, ordering the entire Xishan territory to be in a state of combat readiness, not to relax the vigilance, so that the grassland barbarians could take advantage of the opportunity.
In fact, it is to call the Xishan local heroes to be more leisurely, and don't ask the grassland barbarians who have broken into the territory of Xishan to raid and kill the fortress outside the city.
At the same time, a six-hundred-mile urgent military intelligence report was sent to the capital as soon as possible through the official post system.
"Uncle Yue, let Wangcai and the Xue family's guards be good at cooperating with the local garrison army, take the opportunity to sweep away the bandits and bandits outside the city, and patrol along the official road to ensure the safety of the border army's logistics materials!"
Jia Cong always felt that something was wrong, and if he didn't understand, he simply gave Lin Ruhai a suggestion: "By the way, it also deters local heroes!" ”
"That's great!"
Lin Ruhai nodded and agreed: "Then let Wangcai and the Xue family's guards be busy, and report it immediately if you encounter any trouble that can't be solved!" ”
In other words, I don't know if the people of Xishan have become accustomed to the affairs of the grassland barbarians Koubian, or they still have confidence in the major military states of the border army, but the news was just chaotic for a while when it just came out, and it quickly returned to normal order.
I don't know what the situation is in the other places, at least that's the case in Jinyang City.
Jia Cong deliberately took the soldiers of the personal guard battalion to inspect the streets, and found that both the merchants and the common people looked calm, as if they had not been affected in the slightest.
Nima, do you want to be so calm?
When passing through the red light district of Jinyang with the soldiers of the personal guard battalion, the luxury carriages outside the Qinglou Chu Pavilion were the same as the waiting maids.
Hey......
Jia Cong was also convinced, and returned to the governor's yamen to say to Lin Ruhai that the governor, who had just been in office for more than a year, eased his original solemn expression.
"I just hope that the border army stationed in the border state can stop all the grassland barbarians and avoid the invasion of the hinterland of the West Mountain!"
I hope so......
It's just that I didn't expect that the good hand who was sent out to patrol with the garrison soon ran into trouble.
On this day, Jia Cong was about to pull some soldiers of the guard battalion out of the city for training, but Xue Pan rushed over with an angry face.
"Boss, my little brother has been beaten!"
rushed to the front, this guy didn't get off the horse, his eyes were red, and he said angrily: "I really can't swallow this bad breath, I must pay a terrible price for those guys!" ”
"What's going on, it's not too late to make it clear before you retaliate!"
Jia Cong's wrist flicked, and the horsewhip in his hand was like a spirit snake, and instantly flew out of the reins that wrapped around Xue Pan's sitting horse, and stopped the horse's turning movement with a light lift.
At such an instant, more than a dozen Xue family guards had already gathered, and it was obvious that Xue Pan was indeed not lying.
"I just got the news, my younger brother intercepted a large caravan coming and going outside the city closest to Biansai, and kindly reminded them not to continue traveling, there were barbarian cavalry raging outside, but the other party didn't listen and directly injured people!"
Xue Pan said the matter clearly with an angry face, and said angrily: "Fortunately, a few brothers who went with him were clever and immediately called the local garrison to surround each other, I plan to go over to see who is so arrogant!" ”
Arrogant indeed!
Jia Cong's face was not very good-looking, and the Xue family's guards all hung up their military positions in the personal guard battalion before they set off to disperse to the cities of Xishan.
Although they were all low-ranking officers, they were not something that a mere caravan guard could humiliate.
"Then you can go and bring all the guards who are left with you!"
Instantly sorted out the clue, Jia Cong didn't stop it, and said directly: "Teach the other party a good lesson, if there is an accident, then call the local garrison to act together, behind you is the governor's yamen!" ”
Xue Pan didn't say a word, and hurriedly rode out of Jinyang with his guards.
Jia Cong was not affected, and still took some of the soldiers of the governor's personal guard battalion to train outside the city, and by the way, take a look at the order outside the city.
When he returned to the governor's yamen, he was surprised to see the commander surnamed Zhao, and although he was a little surprised, he still took the initiative to come forward and say hello.
"Oh, nephew, I'm finally looking forward to you back!"
When the commander of Zhao Du saw him, he said happily: "I just got the news that a large caravan of the Jinyang Lin clan clashed with the local garrison army, and I came here to make peace!" ”
"Lord Zhao is late!"
Jia Cong said helplessly: "The guards of the Lin family's big caravan are too arrogant and domineering, and they actually beat my brother's younger brother, my brother is in a hurry and has already led people to kill him, and he has been away for most of the day!" ”
"What?"
The commander surnamed Zhao stood stunned on the spot, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately paused and shouted: "The virtuous nephew quickly sent someone to call people back, otherwise something big will happen!" ”
"What could happen?"
Jia Cong directly found a chair and sat down at random, and said coldly: "His Lin family's face is a face, and the governor's face is just mud!" ”
Lin Ruhai's face twitched for a while, should he be so yin and yang when he spoke?
This......
Commander Zhao Du was speechless for a while, lowered his voice and said with a wry smile: "The Jinyang Lin family is one of the eight major families in Xishan, and they have considerable influence in the court!" ”
"Why, he can't touch a big caravan of the Lin family?"
Jia Cong sneered: "Mo No, did you do something unseemly, right?" ”
Speaking of this, the fox said suspiciously: "Anyway, it is still a sensitive period now, the barbarians outside the Saiwai are invading, and the big caravan of the Lin family is still wandering around the border, what do you want to do?"
"Virtuous nephews can't talk nonsense!"
Commander Zhao Du smiled bitterly and said: "Who in the entire Xishan doesn't know that the caravan controlled by the Lin family in Jinyang has made a fortune by specializing in border trade?" ”
Tut......
It's a lot of information, but it's also a lot.
Also, Zhao Du commanded this 'shallow and deep', I'm afraid he didn't have any good intentions, right?
Glancing at Lin Ruhai, who had been beside him without making a sound, he smiled leisurely and said, "Lord Zhao, things haven't gotten to the point of hostility yet, let's take a look at the situation before it's too late!" ”
In his heart, he was vigilant against the so-called Jinyang Lin family.
In normal history, there have been the so-called eight major merchants in Xishan, and they have developed by doing border trade.
When the commander surnamed Zhao left suddenly, Lin Ruhai said leisurely: "What do you think?" ”
"What Uncle Yue is asking, is Zhao Du the commander or the Jinyang Lin family?"
"Let's talk about it!"
"This surnamed Zhao is a pure bureaucrat, and he can't count on anything when he encounters something!"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "As for the Jinyang Lin family, I'm afraid it's not a good stubble, but at this time, they are even very arrogant to do business with the barbarians outside the Saiwai, and they are full of confidence!" ”
is indeed full of confidence, and he dares to send a pair to hang around the side plug, and he dares to be a businessman if he disagrees, which is not an ordinary confidence. Lin Ruhai groaned: "The current situation is okay, don't be too exciting to the local heroes!" ”
"Afraid of what?"
Jia Cong said disapprerovingly: "No matter how arrogant it is, at the moment Daqing's national strength is still thriving, will it not be able to turn against the sky?" ”
"You kid don't talk nonsense, and you can't toss around!"
Lin Ruhai said uneasily: "There can be small contradictions, but there must not be big conflicts!" ”
Jia Cong nodded to show that he understood, but he was very unimpressed in his heart.
With military power in hand and a state of war, the governor of Xishan should be full of words.
Whoever is disobedient will be beaten up!
Who wouldn't buckle the hat, not to mention that Xishan is strong and strong, if it doesn't have nothing to do with the grassland barbarians, it doesn't exist at all, and it's too simple to want to buckle a big hat for them.
That is, Lin Ruhai is used to the way things are done in Jiangnan, and he still uses the old habits to do things, Jia Cong has nothing to say, he will shoot when he should act, but he will not be used to the so-called local heroes, are they worthy?
