Chapter 104: Evening
Jia Hui, Jia Hui, why did you break into Jinling with people and horses? Didn't you say you'd come back in the evening?
On the Huangmen Square where the main gate of Jinling Palace was opened, Xia Ming, a eunuch left behind in Nanjing, looked at Jia Hui who was explaining the affairs of his subordinates with an expression that he didn't know what to say.
"Jia Dudu, didn't you say that the army entered the city after the curfew? It's still an hour and a half before the curfew! ”
Seeing that Jia Hui was taking out a sweat towel from his arms to wipe his sweat after ordering his subordinates, Xia Ming hurriedly walked over and asked with a worried face.
"There's a lot of problems, come here, I'll tell you"
Xia Ming involuntarily leaned over.
Jia Hui looked around to make sure that there was no one around, and then he came to Xia Ming's ear.
"What!"
Hearing the news that the White Lotus Sect still had an army, Xia Ming's eyes widened and he looked at Jia Huilai with a frightened expression.
The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he didn't know if he wanted to scream in fear or open his throat to curse.
But the etiquette education he received in the palace since he was a child still made him forcibly endure it, and he asked Jia Hui with a low voice and trembling.
"Jia Dudu, what clues do you have?" Xia Ming looked at Jia Hui's face nervously, trying to see something from his face.
"Not at all, and I just found out. I don't know how many people there are or where they are!
But as far as I can guess, it's probably not very far from Jinling, right? After all, there are ready-made imperial palaces and the former ruins of the yamen of various ministries of the previous dynasty in this Jinling city, and even the Jiangnan arsenal is here. There are also many powerful people, and there is a big Buddha here.
If it were me, then I would definitely have to take down this city first, not to mention the money, food, and armament, even if I caught a powerful person and threatened the imperial army, it would be excellent! Is my father-in-law right? ”
After listening to Jia Hui's speculation, a cool breath rushed from the soles of his feet to the Tianling Gai, and Xia Ming suddenly felt like the sky was about to fall.
"Jia Dudu, Jia Gongye, General, or. Why don't we evacuate to Huai'an with Mrs. Fengsheng first? Don't get me wrong, is our family greedy for life and afraid of death? It's just that Jinling is not safe now, it doesn't matter if we are injured or not, but if we hurt Mrs. Fengsheng, what will it be? It's really not that our family is greedy for life and afraid of death, general, you have to believe in our family! Let's go and prepare a carriage and horses to pick up Mrs. Fengsheng! ”
Before he finished speaking, Xia Ming wanted to run away, but was dragged in place by Jia Hui like a little chick and couldn't move.
"Leave it, let it go! Jia Hui, our family is going to protect Mrs. Fengsheng and transfer Jiangbei! If the trip is delayed, there is a slight mistake, can you Jia Hui take care of it! ”
Xia Ming could no longer maintain the etiquette that he valued most on weekdays, and dragged hard in the opposite direction of Jia Hui, unaware that the python robe on his body had become messy, and even ripped off the thread.
"Run, run, run, run! Don't you want to see what time it is? Can you take an old lady in her seventies or eighties to the river for a boat ride before dark? Can you run to Quarry Rock or Swallow Rock? What if you run into bandits from the White Lotus Sect in the middle of the road? Give them a big hostage for nothing? The battle is still not going to be fought! ”
Jia Hui's series of facts and reasoning woke up Xia Ming's unrealistic illusions, Xia Ming covered his face with his hands in despair, and sat on the ground with a dejected ass.
"How should that be," Xia Ming choked.
"Alas" Jia Hui looked at Xia Ming sitting on the ground and felt a sense of powerlessness, this person has already been abolished, and it will be good if he doesn't make trouble after the fight starts.
"Yo, what's wrong with Grandpa Xia? Why did you sit on the ground? Jinyu, what's going on? I heard that Jia Hui led the army into the city in advance of the Jinling garrison, Wu Ninghou, Guo Biao and other Jinling civil and military officers finally hurried to the gate of the palace to open the Huangmen Square.
"Uncle Shi is here, it's nothing, it's just that Gonggong Xia seems to be frightened, this is not the place to talk, let's go to the palace and go to the lobby of the military department."
。。。。。。
Jinling is one of the capitals of the previous dynasty, not a line, but a companion capital. Therefore, now the palace of Jinling is actually the former Liang Imperial City after sealing a part of the room, and there should be facilities, such as the cabinet, Wuying Palace, Wenhua Palace, six yamen and other facilities, it can be said that Jinling is the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty is not the capital of the capital.
Even as long as any rebel army can capture Jinling, it can use this imperial city to build an administrative system and become the most orthodox regime in the entire southern country.
So Jinling must not lose!
The long-sealed military headquarters hall of the Jinling Imperial City has now been opened again after a lapse of Jiazi.
The last time it was opened was when Taizong toured Jiangnan.
When the emperor arrived, the entourage of the six departments was concentrated in the Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Hall by the emperor who was afraid of trouble, and the hall of the six departments was never opened again.
Since Jia Hui came to Jinling, Xia Ming sent someone to clean the lobby of the military department.
After all, the previous dynasty did not set up the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the only purely military institution in Jinling, Jiangnan East Road, was also rebuilt into the Jinling Garrison Yamen, which was lived by Guo Biao. Anyway, there are almost no things that need to be discussed with Jinling Wenwu, and Jia Hui has no need to rob Guo Biao's main hall.
His rank of Grand Sima General is also embellished with the title of secretary of the military department, and there is no problem with the lobby of the military department.
"What? The White Lotus Sect still has an army? ”
"It's over, what if that army is in Jinling City? If you combine the inside and the outside, how can Jinling still guard! ”
"Da Sima, why don't we hurry up and cross the river to Yangzhou! What if those White Lotus thieves are really in Jinling City! ”
"Bastard! Jinling is the southward journey of my Great Qi, an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, how can I give up easily! ”
"It's extreme, not to mention that the 80,000 Jiangnan battalions are just outside the city, and there are even the firearms battalion personally selected by Da Sima and the 2,000 Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry who attacked Meng Yuan, so what are the white lotus thieves afraid of!"
"Hmph, that's a light thing to say, but do you know how many of them there are?"
"If you can hide in Jinling City, it proves that there are definitely not many people, not to mention what is the use of many people! Haven't you read the information of the White Lotus Sect sorted out by the embroidered guard? Back then, Rong Zhong Wugong led 100,000 troops of the Northern Expedition to kill nearly 300,000 White Lotus thieves. Do you think that after many years of Chengping, the current White Lotus Thief can be compared with the White Lotus Thief who came out of the troubled times? ”
"Exactly! Could it be that you think that the army of Great Qi can't defeat a cult that the Liang Dynasty can suppress by itself sixteen years before the fall of the country! ”
No different from Xia Ming, most of the civil and military officials in Jinling immediately blew up when they heard that the White Lotus Sect still had a hidden army, and immediately split into the transfer faction and the offensive and defensive faction. Start pumping crazy at each other.
Jia Hui didn't speak, just quietly waited for someone to come out and explain.
He is also the highest official in the entire Jiangnan now, so he can't explain it by himself every time, right?
"Stop, stop, shut up! Colleagues, listen to what Guo said! ”
Isn't this coming?
Jia Hui also looked directly at his uncle.
Hearing Guo Biao's words, the civil and military officers who were constantly arguing in the hall immediately quieted down. After all, he is the Jinling garrison, the nominal supreme military attache in the entire Jiangnan, and everyone is still willing to listen to him.
"Everyone, everyone knows that the White Lotus Thief rebelled tonight, right? What time is it, and where can you go? Run a fart! Everyone is now a grasshopper on a rope, and no one can run!
Don't think about being a thief, just because you have servants in every family, do you think the White Lotus thief can let you go?
Guo Mou's mouth is not good, and he can't say any big truth, so he just said so much. How to do it, please show the general! ”
After Guo Biao finished speaking, he bowed his hand to Jia Hui, who was sitting behind the desk in the lobby, and returned to his chair.
It's okay, it's such a situation, it's definitely too late to run, Jia Hui even thinks that there will be white lotus thieves ambushed on the side of the road on the way to Yanziji, Quarry Rock and even Zhenjiang.
But Jia Hui never planned to run.
When the matter came to an end, Jinling Wenwu now knew that the quarrel was meaningless, and they all turned around towards Jia Hui.
As Guo Hou said, he couldn't run, and a certain family never planned to run. What's more, there are 83,000 people in the Jiangnan camp, more than 2,000 iron horsemen brought by a certain family, more than 1,000 embroidered wrestlers from Zhenjiang Wei and Jinling Thousand Households, and the garrisons around Jinling, counting the elites that can be mobilized near Jinling are close to 100,000.
What's more, there are thousands of households in Anhui, Huguang and Fujian, the East China Sea Division, the Yangtze River Division, and even the Cao soldiers in Jiangbei and my Jianghuai Cao Gongzi soldiers around, so what are the white lotus thieves afraid of!
I have made up my mind, stay in Jinling and fight the White Lotus Thief to the end! ”
Speaking of this, Jia Hui stood up and glanced at the faces in the hall expressionlessly.
Jia Hui closed his eyes, opened them abruptly, took a deep breath and yelled
"Great Qi Wansheng!"
When the civil and military officers of Jinling heard that there were so many troops on their side, they were immediately arrogant, and they also stood up and bowed their hands towards Jia Hui
"Great Qi Wansheng!"
The voice came from far away from the lobby of the military headquarters, and the sergeants who were standing guard in the distance couldn't help but look up at the military headquarters.
Seeing that the Jinling civil and military people were so energetic, Jia Hui was also a little relieved.
"Very well, then act according to the military order given to you by a certain family this morning!
The most important thing is the curfew, Jinling has not experienced a curfew for many years, and it is estimated that the Jiangnan camp has now entered Tongji Gate, so you will go over there to lead a troop and inspect your respective jurisdictions, and dismiss the meeting! ”
The confident civil and military officers walked out of the lobby of the military headquarters with their chests held high, to be honest, it was the first time they were so united to do one thing.
After all, it is about the life of the family, and Jia Hui is also a person who can cut people
discussed the defense of Jinling City with Guo Biao, who was left to the end, and personally sent him to the door.
Standing on the street in front of the yamen of the Ministry of War, looking at Guo Biaolong's figure walking farther and farther, Jia Hui couldn't help but sigh towards Tan Ji, who had been following him:
"I really didn't expect them to be so sensible. I'm also worried that I might be despised by them at a young age, after all, there is an old saying that 'if you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well'
Tut-tut, a little touched. ”
Looking at Jia Hui who looked at Guo Biao who disappeared around the corner with a look of emotion and inexplicable emotion in front of him, Tan Ji didn't know where to vomit.
When you came to Jinling, you slapped the Zhen family in the face with three taels of silver, and the Zhen family didn't dare to put a fart. Later, he kicked Deng Yuan, the former commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan battalion, and the officers of the Jiangnan battalion were also put into a prisoner car and sent dozens of people to Luoyang, and also cut down the little son, a noble heir and a clan son of the Houjun governor's family.
How impatient they are to stumble on you!
The corners of his mouth were constantly twitching Tan Ji still didn't dare to say these words, he knew how careful the person in front of him was, so it was better not to disturb Yaxing of the Grand Duke.
"Yes, yes, it is worthy of being the governor of the capital, when I first came to Jinling, this group of people made a lot of stumbling blocks and suffered a lot."
"Hey, it's me. Let's go too, go to Zhen's house, meet the old lady, tell her about the White Lotus Sect, and be mentally prepared to save yourself from being frightened. ”
。。。。。。
Zhen Mansion.
To be precise, it is called Mrs. Fengsheng's Mansion, but it is the Zhen family who live there, so it is called Zhen's Mansion.
After nearly two months, Jia Hui came here again.
The guards were like a great enemy, and they led Jia Hui into the mansion in shock.
This master is not a good person, since the last time he left, the third lady has a good temper, I heard that there are several little maids who are like flowers and jade were killed by the cane and thrown to the mass grave
"Hey, little brother, come back to your senses!"
"Huh?"
Boom!
"Oops!"
The little guy who led the way was thinking wildly, and was reminded by Jia Hui that he came back to his senses, and he stumbled and almost tripped over the steps in front of the Yi Gate.
"Oh, you don't have long eyes, you almost surprised your guests! Come on, drag him down and beat him for twenty boards! ”
"Huh? Chang Ye, Chang Ye! The little ones know that they are wrong, and the little ones know that they are wrong! ”
"Forget it, it's just that I was distracted and accidentally tripped up, and I couldn't hit the board, so I was punished to do a few days of tiring work."
"This" steward looked embarrassed, these servants are the most difficult to manage, if they really let them know that if they make a mistake in front of the nobles, they will be shown by the nobles to be reasonable and ask for forgiveness, then it will be repaid?
"How. Is my face bad? Jia Hui tilted his head and looked at the steward with an embarrassed face.
Jia Hui, who crossed over, really couldn't oppress others for no reason, he was more willing to do as much work as he wanted, how much money or treatment. If the servants make mistakes, as long as it is not a big deal, he will still try not to beat and scold the servants, and even if it is a punishment, it is in the form of punishment such as doing heavy work.
Especially now that the slave change is imminent, I really don't want to cause more trouble.
Jia Hui's face was still good, and the steward was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, and hurriedly patted his chest to promise that he would definitely do what the governor wanted, etc.
Seeing the successful completion of the daily deed, Jia Hui also nodded with satisfaction, and followed the steward into the front yard, where Mrs. Fengsheng was already sitting in the main hall with Zhen Yingjia and others.
The army entered the city, a curfew was imposed, and the civil and military gathered in the palace! There are so many big things happening in Jinling City, and the Zhen family didn't even receive any news, they simply didn't take them seriously!
Now, the main owner who caused everything has come to the house, but you have to ask why they Jiangnan Zhen family was excluded!
In a moment of thought, a tall figure entered the main hall of the Zhen family.
First update!
