Chapter 191: News from the Northwest

The impact of the rebellion cannot be said to be absent, it can only be said

Well? Rebellion? When was this?

One night was full of five hours, of which nearly three hours were spent besieging and killing the enemy, from the head of the thief to the miscellaneous auxiliaries, except for some who were forgiven by the decree of the two saints, they were all swept down and killed.

The reason why the imperial court and Jia Hui attach so much importance to it is mainly that this group of people is the remnants of the East Palace, led by some former East Palace diehards, and the most important thing is that they have taken one of Prince Li's sons hostage as a banner, and these are the troublesome places.

However, due to the early discovery and contact of the two or five boys, the information of the remnants of the East Palace was unilaterally transparent to the imperial court, which controlled the scale of the rebellion within a certain range and eliminated it quickly and without hesitation.

It's just that this rebellion is not so friendly to the Shangzhi pro-army.

They didn't expect Wei Ci to be more fierce than eight years ago, and purposefully sniped the commanders of Long Xiang and Yulin Erwei one by one.

Although it seems that the two guards have not lost many personnel, in fact, the two guards are already in a state of broken bones.

There are very few high-ranking officers left, almost all of them are wiped out!

However, these two guards must recover as soon as possible, so the recruitment of officers from various border towns into the Shangzhi army has become the top priority of the military.

For a while, a large number of accompanying drivers who were the first to get the news, and even the middle-level officers in the surrounding military town guard began to go crazy, and the captain, as the head of the generals, naturally became their primary target.

Just as they were about to rush to give gifts to the Taiwei Mansion, they found that the Dunhuang County Mansion was closed.

"Master, after all, it is your old department and former colleagues outside the door, will you not see it like this" Early in the morning, the gate outside the county mansion was blocked by the officers again, listening to the sound of asking to see him that could be faintly heard even in his yard, Li Kun was a little worried.

"If you don't see it, you don't see it, and besides, can I interfere in the personnel of the Shangzhi pro-army? Don't look at the relationship between me and the commanders of the Shangzhi pro-army, but for the appointment and dismissal of the personnel of the Shangzhi pro-army, it has always been in the hands of the emperor. Scraping Huang Cancan's millet porridge into his mouth with a spoon and swallowing it, Jia Hui wiped his mouth and explained to Li Kun.

"You think, the money is from the royal family, the food is from the royal family, the school field in the palace is lived, and the armaments all over the body are also made by the inner court, even those who don't have wives before joining the Shangzhi Army," Jia Hui smashed his right hand into his left hand with a fist, "Those twenty-five-year-old girls who are released from the palace every year are also given priority to marry them, you say, money, food, housing, armaments, and wives and the royal family are all round, and the Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War of the Five Armies have not even paid a penny, so why should they meddle in the personnel appointment and dismissal of the Shangzhi Army?" ”

After speaking, Jia Hui picked up another bun and took a bite.

"That's exactly what happened." Li Kun also opened his eyes today.

Twisting the spoon in his right hand and gently stirring the millet porridge, Li Kun was still a little worried that it would hurt the hearts of his colleagues in the old department.

"Then sir, we really don't say anything at all? It's not that it's rare for them to give gifts, it's just that I'm worried about whether you will be so ruthless, master," Li Kun said worriedly.

"Well, I understand what Madame means," swallowed the remnants of the bun in his mouth, "After all, they are my former colleagues, and many of them took care of me when I first became a barracks, but as I said before, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies really can't intervene in the appointment and dismissal of the Shangzhi Army."

"But the concubine heard that the emperor wanted to transfer some generals from the border armies to join the Shangzhi pro-army, so let the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies draw up a list first." Li Kun told the rumors he heard when he went door-to-door to apologize yesterday and chatted with the wives of various families.

"Heh, nonsense, I, the chief governor of the Left Army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, don't know about this."

Putting the gargling tea into his mouth and rinsing his mouth and spitting it out, Jia Hui thought about it and decided to say the selection criteria.

"This time it can be regarded as the selection of the two saints at the same time, the emperor naturally likes our border army and the old Cao Gong, but the saint means that he wants his descendants Jiangnan Beiwei Army to also participate.

The emperor is in a good mood, and he knows the reason, so he won't say much. Therefore, in the end, the second saint planned to use a method similar to martial arts to select new officers."

"What? Martial arts? But isn't it all about loyalty rather than ability? Li Kun was a little surprised.

"So it's only for the border army, the old Cao Gong and the Jiangnan Bei Wei army to refer to, the border army is the emperor's descendant, the Bei Wa army is the saint's descendant, and the old Cao Gong is the descendant of Daqi, you say, if this is not loyal enough, then who else is loyal? Is it a Mugul? Jurchens? Southwest Toast? Or those great lamas on the plateau? ”

"Yes." Li Kun knew that he had just made a stupid mistake.

"Well, after all, it is the selection of thousands of households to command these senior officers, so martial arts are not the most important, those military strategies, the arrangement of troops and the like are the most important in this selection, in addition, combat merit is also a very important point, under the same results, the one with great military merit is naturally more advantageous."

Jia Hui still put the wipes that wiped his mouth in the copper basin, stood up on the table, and turned to look at Li Kun.

"Okay, let's not talk about the superfluous, that's all. I won't see them anymore, and when you go back, you let them go out of the house and make it clear to them quietly, remember, quietly, don't make a big fuss.

Then let them go to those martial arts halls and other places in Chang'an City, and let those martial artists teach them the subjects of martial arts, and then draw the key points.

I know this group of rough men the best, who is more ruthless and desperate with the Mughurs on weekdays, all of them are experienced, and those who are weak in these theories such as military strategy can let them learn more these days, and when the people from Jiangnan prepare for the Japanese army arrive in Chang'an, it will be almost time for selection. ”

Although there are martial arts in Daqi, most of the martial artists are selected as the garrison of a certain city, or the commander of a certain ground guard, of course, the better choice is to enter the Beijing camp, only a very few people choose to go to xenophobia, especially the nine sides of the platoon of them who take the martial arts route and mix the army. Over time, the generals from the martial arts will basically not go to the border army.

It's not that these martial artists have low professional quality, it's mainly that the border soldiers believe in speaking with swords and using military merits to get promoted, and they look down on these martial artists who just practice martial arts and are promoted to hundreds of households after reading military books.

Therefore, they naturally didn't want to learn about those martial arts projects, and Jia Hui naturally wanted them to go to the martial arts hall to learn about it

After all, Jia Hui himself had never understood what martial arts were going to take.

。。。。。。

Although the gate was blocked, Jia Hui still had a way to leave the mansion without a trace.

For example, authentic.

I got into it from a corner of the courtyard, just enough to get to a house outside, and sat on a relatively simple sedan chair, and even the soldiers around me didn't let Hu Jiu and them follow, but chose some soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Iron Horse.

After a disguise, he was finally not recognized on the way to the Taiwei Mansion

Taiwei Mansion.

Jia Hui, who was stuffed in the sedan chair for a quarter of an hour, finally came to his festival hall, he was most afraid of the heat, and the officials of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies also knew about it, so after entering the summer, a few buckets of sour plum soup would be prepared in the small kitchen every day.

On the one hand, it is for Captain Jia to drink, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a summer benefit for the subordinate officials of the Governor's Mansion.

"Hu Shutan" drank a big sip of chilled sour plum soup, and Jia Hui collapsed on the chair as if he had no bones.

Summer is the hardest season of the year for Jia Hui.

"Governor, this is the instrument of the day"

After seeing the Governor leaning comfortably on the chair as usual, the little official next to him also knew that it was time, so he stepped forward and put the documents on the court case.

You must take advantage of the time when the Metropolitan Governor has recovered and is not comfortable enough to sleep, otherwise the Metropolitan Governor will really sleep until noon and get up!

But I can't wake up when I wake up, and I still have a lot of anger when I wake up, and my old neighbor is like this, and he was almost slashed by the governor who was woken up

"Huh? It's a little flower."

"This big governor, the small ones are about to run to the four, this small word is too much" Hearing the big governor's address to himself, the little official surnamed Hua looked bitter.

"Who made you tender enough? Without further ado, what's the big deal today? Jia Hui stretched her waist, then sat up straight, and stretched out her hand to get a stack of papers.

"Back to the Grand Governor, there is no major event in the country today, but there is some news from the Rest of the Protectorate."

The little official surnamed Hua said respectfully to Jia Hui, his hand was not idle, and handed a document sealed with lacquer to Jia Hui.

"Metropolitan Protectorate." Jia Hui suddenly came to his senses, took out his letter opener from the hidden pocket of his sleeve, pried open the seal, and Jia Hui began to look at the document from Anxi word by word.

"Huh? A group of people who claim to be Seljuk Turks, but in fact have blue eyes and green eyes, and they look like nonsense, and they say that they are coming. Morning to the Son of Heaven? ”

Seljuk Turks. Ottoman?

Oh, Seljuk hazard

The sultan is not surnamed Ashina, what kind of Turk is it?

"Turkic? Governor, there are still Turks in these years? The little official looked at Jia Hui with a shocked expression, he always thought that the former grassland overlords such as the Turks and the Xiongnu Rouran had all died out!

"Yes, the Uighurs have Turkic blood in them, and further west in Anxi, it seems that the Kipchaks are a branch of the Turks." Jia Hui thought about it for a moment and said with some uncertainty.

Probably. So be it.

Anyway, it was like this in the previous life, and this life is uncertain, but since those Seljuk zags know the Turks, it should be no different from the previous life

"However, in fact, the Turks are no different from the Xiongnu, Rouran, Xianbei, and Mengwu, these nomads in the northern grasslands, they should look similar to us, they can't be a mixed beard," Jia Hui carefully read the documents of the Duhufu and explained to the little official.

"Then these Seljuks are pretending to be Turks?" The clerk asked.

"It's not enough to pretend, there are many Turkic-speaking tribes west of Anxi, and this Seljuk should also have Turkic blood, but it's definitely not a proper Turkic."

"I see. That. Did they answer or should they not ask to see the Son of Heaven? The little official roughly understood, nodded, and asked Jia Hui with some uncertainty.

"Agreed, since they came in the form of an embassy, they were guests, and before they leaked their malice, they were guests who wanted to be warmly entertained, and they would issue customs clearance documents."

"Yui!" The servant agreed, picked up his pen and began to write the customs clearance documents that allowed the Seljuk mission to enter the Yumen Pass

After all, the Duhu Mansion is a military area, and Jia Hui is in charge. When you enter the Yumen Pass, it is the matter of Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites.

This kind of standard document with template was almost handy, and it was quickly written, and when the last bit of ink dried up, the clerk respectfully handed the document to Jia Hui.

Jia Hui took the paperwork, took a general look, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he stamped the big seal.

This thing doesn't need to be sent out immediately, after all, it's thousands of miles away, and it can't be wrong to send it out half a day in the morning and half a day in the evening, and put the paperwork on the side of the table, Jia Hui continued to look at the paperwork of the Duhu Mansion.

Hey, it's still from Chagan Bari.

The Turghat in the west were crushed by the Dzungaria, but the Rakshasas were defeated by the Turghat and were able to breathe.

In view of the combat effectiveness of the east and west, Turghut began to prepare to move west, and for this reason, Turghut hoped that Daqi could provide a batch of weapons and materials, which they could exchange for gold and silver, as well as war horses, cattle and sheep

Hiss. Trouble.

This is inconsistent with Jia Hui's Central Asia strategy

The abilities of these generations of Dzungar Khan are good, and after the accumulation of several generations, their rise is a foregone conclusion. To this end, Jia Hui formulated a bloodletting strategy, supporting the hostile forces around Dzungaria, and fighting Dzungar in turn, so as to deplete their strength.

Among them, the strength of Turhut is also one of the best among the forces supported by the Great Qi

Jia Hui's strategy has a remarkable effect, and the Dzungar Department, which originally had the intention of advancing eastward and southward, was held back by these hostile forces, which greatly relieved the defensive pressure of Daqi in the northwest, but!

According to Chagan Bari's intelligence, Dzungaria seems to have pointed out the strategy of "let him come as many times as he wants, I will only go all the way", specifically grasping the Turks to fight, and as for losing some land around, just lose some land, and then take it back later.

The result speaks for itself, and Turghut was defeated.

"Oh, it hurts." Jia Hui supported his forehead.

Give it, the Turks are about to move westward, and a single Kipchak will not be the opponent of Dzungaria at all, and the Rakshasas will not be able to die with the Dzungars here, and the defense pressure in the northwest will inevitably increase greatly.

Don't give it, what if Turghut is killed? If you throw away the dog when you see that it has no value, how will you collect the dog in the future

Various possibilities appeared in Jia Hui's mind one after another, and now his head hurt even more.

Forget it, this kind of thing should be thrown to the second saint to worry about, he is a courtier, why should he the emperor's heart?
