Jia Baoyu took Jia Yun, and the two entered the palace, Jia Yun waited in the side hall, and Jia Baoyu went directly into the inner hall.

Wang Ziteng smiled and said, "Nephew, where did you come from?" ”

Jia Baoyu rolled his eyes, poured himself a cup of tea, and sat opposite Wang Ziteng by himself, "Uncle, you can make your nephew miserable!" ”

Wang Ziteng's wife walked in, looked at Jia Baoyu and asked, "What did your uncle do, why did he hurt you?" ”

Jia Baoyu snorted and cried: "My nephew just took the middle and high school examination in Shuntianfu Academy, and I was preparing to be promoted in this year's big competition, and my uncle told the emperor to let me go to military training. ”

The Great Zhou Dynasty was noble and martial, and it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

When Mrs. Wang Ziteng heard this, she sneered: "That's really your uncle's, a good Wenqu star was harmed by your uncle." ”

The prince took a slow sip of new tea and spit the tea leaves back into the tea bowl: "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, he is my nephew, how can my uncle harm my nephew?" ”

He turned his head to look at Jia Baoyu and asked, "What official did the emperor give you?" ”

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "I told the emperor that I was going to Tianjin to train troops, and the emperor agreed, and I was named Tianjin Zuowei Qianhu." ”

"Tianjin?"

Wang Ziteng was a little surprised, "Tianjin City has thick walls, and there are many bureaucrats in it, if you go, there may be a lot of constraints." ”

Jia Baoyu explained: "Tianjin is close to the capital, only more than 100 kilometers, and it can be reached in two days. ”

Wang Ziteng frowned and said: "Tianjin Governor Feng Yuanyang is an upright person, he will not bend the law for personal gain, he was only appointed as the governor of Tianjin at the beginning of this year, and he was promoted to the right of the imperial history, and he is also the governor of Liao, and he is a person who knows the army." ”

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "He is his governor, I train my soldiers, and there is no conflict." ”

"Nonsense!"

Wang Ziteng said with some sadness: "If you want to train soldiers, you can practice in the capital, the three major battalions have been dispersed, and with a little training, you will be an elite soldier, and there are so many weapons and equipment, I can also take care of you." ”

Jia Baoyu said: "There are many eyes and ears in the capital, and everything is under the noses of those nobles and ministers, and it can't be done at all.

Uncle, you are the envoy of the Jingying Festival, so won't Feng Yuanyang give you three points of thin noodles? ”

Wang Ziteng rubbed his temples and said: "I am familiar with Cao Youyi, the chief soldier of Tianjin, but this person is sleek, timid and afraid, I'm afraid I can't give you too much help." ”

The generals of the Great Zhou army fought and had too many rules.

This has led to frequent extremes, with either the army cowering or the army losing control and taking the people captive.

Jia Baoyu arched his hand and said: "Other uncles don't have to worry about it, just give me enough firearms, and it would be better if they could give me some craftsmen who can build firearms." ”

Better tools make good work.

Wang Ziteng smiled: "You are looking for the wrong person, you have to find your father, a firearms craftsman." ”

Jia Baoyu patted his head.

I forgot about this stubble, my father is a member of the Ministry of Works, although he is not a big official, but he is a real official of the Ministry of Industry.

Not to mention that the squire of the Ministry of Works is still his teacher.

"Nacheng, I'll go back and make a list, uncle, don't fool me with those shoddy firecrackers."

Jia Baoyu got up and left the palace.

The date given by Emperor Longqian was too urgent, he had to hurry home to prepare, after all, he had trained for a thousand days, and he used his troops for a while, and he didn't know how long it would take to go to Tianjin this time.

……

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

Jia Baoyu put the edict and the body on the table, Shi Lao Taijun picked it up and looked at it, it read, "Great Zhou Tianjin Zuowei Thousand Households." ”

Shi Lao Taijun thought he was dazzled, and asked: "Baoyu, aren't you one of the hundred households of Fusi in Beizhen, why have you become one of the thousand households in Tianjin again?" ”

Jia Baoyu had no choice but to repeat the emperor's order.

The old lady felt sorry for her son and said: "This can't be done, Baoyu is my lifeblood, I must stay by my side, the last time he left the capital, my heart suddenly beat non-stop."

And now let him lead troops to fight? What kind of family are we, even if we are only at home, it is better than going out to show our heads. ”

Jia Zheng said: "Mother, this is set by the emperor, how to change it?" ”

Shi Lao Taijun's eyes widened: "There are so many people in the Jia family, why do you want Baoyu to go?" It's really not good, it's okay to let Lian'er and Brother Rong go. ”

Jia Lian, Jia Rong: ......

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Baoyu and said, "You really want to go to Tianjin?" If you don't want to go again, I can go to your uncle and ask the emperor to intercede, and send someone else to train the army.

There are so many powerful generals in the court, and there is no shortage of you. ”

Mrs. Wang also chimed in: "Your father is right, war is not a joke, I will go to your uncle." ”

Since the Rongguo Mansion beat the old Rongguo Gongrong and raised him, he no longer uses knives and guns.

A large family, all day long, dogs and horses, lackeys fighting cocks, raising little women, don't say that Jia Mu is the slave below, but also brocade clothes and jade food, glory and wealth are inexhaustible.

The situation in the imperial court collapsed, and refugees from all provinces sprang up, all of which had nothing to do with them.

The knife doesn't reach the neck, and no one knows that it hurts.

In the entire Jia family, only Jia Baoyu knew the situation in the Great Zhou, and said with a wry smile: "Grandma, father, mother, I am not afraid that you will know if you say it, the country of the Great Zhou is not a hundred years ago."

Not to mention the rogues in front of him, that is, Li Zicheng in the northwest and Zhang Xianzhong in Hubei, who are in great trouble, especially the thief Li Zicheng, everywhere he goes, the officials and soldiers cannot resist, and the people welcome them and the whole family is a thief.

The situation in Liaodong is even worse, and the Tartars are eyeing each other, and they don't want to break through the customs and enter the Central Plains all the time.

The emperor is only in his early thirties, and half of his hair has already been spent. ”

Jia Zheng is an official in the court, and he also knows some about national affairs, but he does not know as much as Jia Baoyu knows.

"Baoyu, these thieves and tartars you mentioned are all mustard diseases, and once the imperial army arrives, they will definitely be able to break them!"

Jia Baoyu stretched out a finger: "The imperial court has no soldiers available now, how can there be any army, even if it can send troops, but the imperial court has no money and no food." Not to mention, the Gyeonggi Liukou have been raging for so long that the imperial court can do nothing. ”

Jia Zheng was silent for a while and said, "Even if the thieves are rampant, they will not be able to break through the defense of the capital. ”

Jia Baoyu suddenly said: "If one day, the thieves hit the capital, what should you do?" ”

"Be careful!"

Jia Zheng was startled, and hurriedly rushed out of the door, and when he saw that there was no one around, he came back again: "Baoyu, how dare you say anything, if you are heard, you will suffer!" ”

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "Father, don't be so excited, I also told the emperor the same thing." ”

Jia Zhengdu is going crazy!

Although he is not good at learning and has not done anything in the officialdom, he has always been cautious, never saying what should not be said, and never doing what should not be done.

"You kid, you really dare to say anything, don't you want to die?"

Jia Baoyu said: "The emperor himself is still confused, otherwise he would not use me as this pioneer." Besides, the emperor is in power, and I haven't heard of anyone being convicted for his words, at most because the emperor doesn't like it.

The words of the princes of the court are good, and the things are worse than the other.

Do you think the emperor is a fool? In fact, the emperor has a clear heart, but because of information asymmetry, the big guys united to deceive him, which led to the decisions he made were all wrong. ”

Jia Zheng sneered: "Why don't others be in the limelight, just can?" Don't you look at it, the governor of Baoding, Sun Chuanting, was arrested and imprisoned, and now he is still locked up in the prison of Fusi in Beizhen!

There is also Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, who was sentenced to prison after the fiasco in the Battle of Guangning. In the fifth year of Longqian, he was sentenced to death.

Do you think that the emperor values you because you train your troops, what if you are defeated? Is our whole family going to be implicated? ”

Jia Baoyu really hadn't thought about this problem.
