The discussion between the brothers was temporarily paused when they stepped into the main hall of Rongxi Hall.

However, Jia Cong's reminder, Baoyu obviously listened to it. After the two saluted the visitor, Baoyu sat aside and fell into deep thought.

Today's guest is none other than Xue Pan's mother, Mrs. Xue, and daughter-in-law Yu Yao.

Since Yu Yao married into the Xue family, Mrs. Xue was quite resentful at first because of her humble background, but she was soon impressed by Yu Yao's character and ability.

Now Yu Yao has taken over the inner courtyard of the Xue family, and even taken over part of the Xue family's industry. Not only did she take proper care of Mrs. Xue's daily life, but the outside affairs were also done in an orderly manner.

Let's not talk about anything else, just Yu Yao can do her mother-in-law's three meals a day and personally take charge of the spoon, which daughter-in-law can do it to this extent?

Now that he is sending a baby, the Xue family will have a future, and everything will be fine.

Mrs. Xue praised her daughter-in-law at the old lady's praise one after another, and Yu Yao blushed.

"Look at it, this girl is still blushing and shy......"

The old lady also joked, and Yu Yao, who was already shy, became even more nervous.

Fortunately, at this time, Wang Xifeng came over with the little baby and the dog, and the attention of the people in the room immediately shifted to the little milk baby, and it was rare to surround the dog eggs that were still blowing bubbles.

Especially Mrs. Xue, she was about to snatch the dog's eggs home and raise them herself.

"Brother Pan and his cousin went to the west, and we were the only ones left at home, and we didn't think it was interesting to celebrate the holidays......"

Mrs. Xue really wanted her son, and her daughter married into the He family again, so she couldn't stay in her mother's house all the time, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was tasteless, so she thought of visiting the old lady in Rongguo Mansion.

First, the two families are in-laws, and they have lived in Rongguo Mansion for many days, which can be regarded as a solution to loneliness.

Second, I also wanted to inquire about the situation from the Jia family to see when my son would come back.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Xue asked Jia Cong about the situation of the war in the west.

"Bao Yatou told her son-in-law, Brother Pan and your second brother won the battle, since they won the battle, are you going to return to Beijing soon?"

In Mrs. Xue's consciousness, if the battle is won, the court will return to the court, and then the reward should be rewarded and punished.

This is indeed the practice of the past......

But this time it won't be like this, because as the main general, Jia Lian is a really ruthless person.

"The second brother once wrote to me, saying that he planned to occupy a piece of land in the west and let the imperial court take root there......"

No matter how much she said, Mrs. Xue couldn't understand it.

However, there is one sentence that Mrs. Xue can still understand, that is, if the imperial court wants to drive a nail thousands of miles away, someone needs to be stationed there.

Doesn't this mean that the son will not come back?

In an instant, Mrs. Xue and Yu Yao both turned pale.

It was thousands of miles away, and there was only one man in the Xue family's big house......

"In three or two years, my second brother will not be able to come back. Brother Xue is not necessarily, the imperial court will transfer troops from Hexi and Anxi to rotate. Brother Xue has made a lot of contributions this time, he is also the confidant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Majesty will not let the East Palace General stay outside for a long time. ”

The strategy of round battle is still a strategy drafted by Jia Cong himself.

Now the overall strategy of Great Xia is naval warfare, and the land conquest has basically ended.

In order to maintain the combat strength of the land division, a nail was hammered in the west, and then the border armies were constantly rotated to the west, and the Rakshasa country was used to train and sharpen the sword, which was perfect.

Jia Lian, as the former army commander, wants to sit in the Chinese army, and he can't move easily.

As for Xue Pan, this guy's combat effectiveness is really terrifying.

It is said that every time Xue Pan goes to war, the people of the Rakshasa Kingdom do not dare to fight and flee from the wind.

There is a sentence in the military newspaper that is specifically written about this goods: the partial general Xue Pan, holding the Fang Tian painting halberd, riding alone to charge the battle, carrying a hundred enemies without defeat, and moving forward bravely, like a killing god in the world......

With this kind of fierce general brother in front of the battle, the imperial court's plan to hone the army in turns had to be put on hold.

Why? The people of the Rakshasa Kingdom are not stupid, and against such a fierce man, what is the difference between it and sending them to death.

Every time the enemy looks, the killing god comes again, and he immediately flees dozens of miles away, how can this battle be fought? How else can this soldier be trained?

Jia Lian also wrote a special report to the imperial court for this reason, admonishing the emperor to quickly transfer Xue Pan back to the capital after sending supplies, and he also wanted to use the Rakshasa ghost as a whetstone.

"According to the time calculation, the second batch of supplies should have already departed, and in the spring and summer of next year, Brother Xue will most likely be able to come back......"

Hearing Jia Cong's explanation, Mrs. Xue didn't know whether to cry or laugh this time.

She wiped away a handful of tears and cried to the old lady: "Brother Pan'er, that kid doesn't like to read by nature, so he likes to dance with guns and sticks. The old man also said that Brother Pan was a child, and he didn't know how many troubles he would cause in the future. Now that he's promising, I'm worried about it......"

Of course, the old lady could understand Mrs. Xue's mood, she held Mrs. Xue's hand, and comforted her gently: "This is the life of our military family, my brother is fighting hard in front of the battle, don't you just ask for a wife?" It's a good thing that Brother Pan can have such a big future. He is now serving in front of the crown prince, how can he be knighted in the future. You, take good care of yourself, take care of your family, don't let Brother Pan worry is ......"

It is not clear whether he will be knighted Jia Cong, but Xue Pan's future is definitely ambitious.

A fierce general brother with tendons, which king would not like it?

Sometimes Jia Cong envies Xue Pan's innate divine power, this talent's talent is all on the muscles, and he doesn't need to use his brain at all.

Although he can't be handsome, he can be a general who charges into battle, or a door god who guards the palace, and he will be stable for a lifetime.

The old lady's reassurance was indeed quite effective, and after a while, Mrs. Xue's mood improved a lot.

"By the way, I almost forgot to get down to business......"

Mrs. Xue, who was in a good mood, motioned to Yu Yao and took an envelope that was not sealed.

"I heard Bao Ya say that Brother Cong will leave for the Wa Kingdom next month. The people here are all the hands of the Xue family at sea, and there is a token of the Xue family......"

Jia Cong really took out a copper token from the envelope, with a seal on it, Xue.

He had already guessed, and opened the letter and read it roughly.

Sure enough, the Xue family's heritage is not just as simple as it seems. It is estimated that long before the imperial court opened the sea, the Xue family had arrangements on the sea.

With the personnel and relationships recorded on this piece of paper, it is enough for the Xue family to be a powerful overlord at sea.

"These people were all sent out by the old lady back then, and when the old man was still there, they had to go back to the old house in Jinling every three or two years. When the old man died, I couldn't control these people as a woman, except for some of the 'dividends' that were sent on time, and the rest was afraid that it was not very reliable. What can be used, what can't be used...... Brother Pan couldn't bear to control these people, so Brother Cong should go and watch and deal with it. ”

Mrs. Xue doesn't know much, but she is not a fool.

Today's maritime disputes are not something that the small Xue family can get involved in.

She originally wanted to give the list and token to her brother Wang Ziteng, but was eventually stopped by Baochai.

Bao Yatou said that the imperial court will definitely rectify the order on the sea in the future. Brother Cong is most familiar with the affairs of the sea, and the palace has designated that you will deal with it......"

This is true, after taking the Wa Kingdom, it was connected from north to south into a line.

The circle of the Wa Kingdom, the Ryukyus, Luzon, and Manraka became the Bactrian Inland Sea, and in the inland sea, no private maritime armed forces were allowed.

This was something that the emperor had already negotiated with the central bosses, and Jia Cong was one of the main people involved in this plan.

Jia Cong figured out what Mrs. Xue meant, and carefully put away the list and tokens.

No wonder the Xue family in Jinling has a reputation of being rich and rich with pearls like earth and iron, and Jia Cong suspects that among the people arranged by Mrs. Xue at the beginning, someone has done pirate work.

Whether it's smuggling by sea or being a pirate, that's the most lucrative job.

It is worthy of Xue Baochai, who can predict the future policy trends of the imperial court, and handed over the letter of nomination to the emperor early.

"Okay, I'll send this thing to the Imperial Front the day after tomorrow. If we don't chase the past, let's just follow the instructions for the future. ”

……

How powerful is the Xue family at sea?

Jia Cong and Liu Hong lay on the table and studied for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion.

That is, Xue Pan's father died of illness early, if it weren't for Xue Pan, he would have been the man who wanted to be the king of the pirates.

"This is also too exaggerated, Goryeo, Wa, Luzon...... All have the manpower of the Xue family. Hundreds of large and small ships, with tens of thousands of ......"

Judging from the number of people on the books, the Xue family's manpower at sea is comparable to the strength of the Dengzhou Sailors.

However, this is all on the books, and among the hundreds of ships, they are basically old and dilapidated, and they cannot be compared with the imperial navy fleet.

Tens of thousands of men should also remove the old, weak, sick and disabled, and it would be very good to have more than 10,000 capable soldiers.

But this is surprising enough, Liu Hong and Jia Cong are both happy in their hearts.

What the Celestial Empire lacks is not soldiers who can fight well, but guides who can lead the way for the army.

The Xue family's list only needs one-tenth of it to be usable to solve the biggest problem that the imperial court has to face in conquering the Japanese state.

Jia Cong re-copied the list, put it away, and said, "Then I will send someone to set off first to contact these people." If the problem of the guide can be solved, the Xue family will be considered a great achievement. ”

"It's really a great achievement, when Xue Pan comes back, I will play my father and give him a knighthood. This guy is addicted to fighting in the west, and he actually sent me a letter complaining that your second brother won't let him lead the troops into battle......"

Speaking of Xue Pan, the prince also had a headache.

This guy is really a natural general, he was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, he didn't stop a step, and carried Fang Tian's halberd to kill through the defense array of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

"Your second brother also complained to me, and asked me to quickly transfer Xue Pan back, saying that there was this guy in front of the battle, and even the figure of the Rakshasa Kingdom could not be seen. In order to hone his sergeants, he had to look for several days at a time to find traces of the enemy. ”

Ha......

Some things are still quite magical, and someone can force the Rakshasa to such an extent.

……

The following days were very peaceful, but Daiyu's mood gradually became restless as Jia Cong's time from Beijing got closer and closer.

If it weren't for the fact that she had to deal with official business in the yamen every day, Jia Cong was worried that Daiyu would suffer from depression at home.

"Uncle...... My father had a quarrel with the people from the military department today, saying that the ship arranged by the military department was too small to fit the accompanying soldiers. ”

Daiyu lay on Jia Cong's chest, feeling her little husband's heartbeat.

The two have been extremely warm in recent days, cherishing every moment of time together.

Jia Cong stroked Daiyu's smooth back, and smiled when he heard this: "Daddy called back all the soldiers on Zhuangzi, and he was stunned to gather four hundred and ninety-nine people. Coupled with the guards given by His Majesty, the guards I am going to bring with me alone will have a thousand men and horses......"

A thousand pro-guards, and the British old man Zhang led the troops to battle, but they didn't have this treatment.

The people in the military department can grit their teeth and impeach the eldest man for fooling around without appearing, this is all for Jia Cong's sake.

After all, Jia Cong has drummed up so many magic weapons over the years, and the military department has taken a lot of advantage.

"I'll go to make amends to others early tomorrow morning, and the ship won't need to be looked for by the Ministry of War, I'll go to the Ministry of Industry to ask for one."

As the shadow secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Jia Cong plans to ask for the latest warship.

The ship must be large and strong, the barrels must be thick and strong, and the speed of the ship must be fast enough.

The water dissolves this poisonous snake, and Jia Cong made up his mind to completely crush it to death on the island in this operation.

"This time, my main goal is to kill the poisonous snake that dissolves the water. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep. ”

A poisonous snake that comes out to bite you from time to time, only when it dies in front of you, Jia Cong can be completely relieved.

Daiyu also nodded in agreement, in the whole Great Xia, the most cold and terrifying thing for her was the old yin man who dissolved her.

Wang Ziteng can't be counted, after all, whatever the prince does, he comes clearly.

Thinking of Wang Ziteng, Daiyu asked, "Where is Wang Ziteng?" I heard the crown prince and brother say that Wang Ziteng has a will to die and does not plan to come back. ”

Jia Cong shook his head: "Lord Wang is indeed determined to die, and he even arranged the aftermath before leaving Beijing." However, I think His Majesty does not intend to let him die in the Wa Kingdom. ”

For Wang Ziteng, the emperor really loves and hates.

Love its talent, ruthless its original target.

This old man is really ruthless, and he wants to calculate it when he is dying, and even calculates it on the emperor's body.

"He wants to force the palace to give him a future for the Wang family, but unfortunately what His Majesty doesn't like the most is that others calculate him."

If the prince Teng really died in front of the battle, the emperor pinched his nose and had to give the Wang family a preferential treatment.

The title of Marquis of Ningyuan County may have to be given three generations of the first surrender, otherwise there will be no gossip in the army.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong was convinced.

"Your Majesty should have instructed me to do these things before I leave Beijing, and our grievances and grievances with Wang Ziteng must not affect military and political affairs. When the time comes, whatever Your Majesty arranges, I will just do it. To be honest, I admire Wang Ziteng. A person can do this for the sake of the family, and he should be a good man! ”

Jia Cong can still distinguish the priorities of grievances and grievances, and the grievances and grievances between Wang Ziteng and the Jia family and the Lin family have not risen to the extent of ignoring the overall situation.

Both sighed, and then the room fell silent for a long time.

Until there was a sound of beating outside, the movements on Jia Cong's hands gradually intensified, and he moved to a soft place.

He laughed evilly and said in Daiyu's ear: "Don't talk about others, let's let my husband taste the sweetness of Dai'e!" ”
