Chapter 471: Monarchs and Ministers
On the way, Jia Huan was still thinking about the marriage of Yuan Chunling.
Orders given by princes, queens, concubines, and princes are called decrees.
(The purpose used in the previous chapter was wrong, because the time was short, and I didn't have time to check it carefully.) Yi Zhi is an order issued by the Empress Dowager and the Empress. The order issued by Yuan Chun is called the decree, which has been revised)
In fact, in the Book of Red Mansions, if the plot is carried out according to Cao Gong's original intention, Jia Baoyu's final marriage to Xue Baochai should also be the result of Yuan Chun's decree to grant marriage.
On the matter of Jia Baoyu's family, there is no consensus between Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Mother Jia belongs to Lin Daiyu, and Mrs. Wang belongs to Xue Baochai.
In terms of objective conditions, in fact, Lin Daiyu's status is more respected than Xue Baochai, and she is more suitable to marry into Jiafu.
In ancient times, the two families were married, and the Jia family was a family of two princes.
And the ancestors of the Lin family have been born as a marquis, and Lin Ruhai is an extremely noble Tanhualang background.
The so-called princes of Wandai, these two families are the real right families.
And the Xue family is just an imperial businessman, even if there was a Ziwei Sheren in the ancestor, it is just a merchant family without a title.
It is said that the four major families are in the same spirit, and there are many marriages between each other.
Why didn't Xue Pan marry the young ladies of the four major families?
Why didn't Xue Pan propose to Jiafu's Spring Festival or Spring Visit? Didn't propose to the other two families?
In the end, he married a ten-mile osmanthus daughter of the Xia family, who was also a merchant family?
Xing Xiuyan, who Xue Zhen married, and his family was even more in decline.
It can be seen that although the Xue family is listed as one of the four major families, in fact, they only have a few stinky money, and they really can't be put on the stage.
Therefore, in fact, Lin Daiyu has more advantages than Xue Baochai.
However, in the end, Jia Baoyu still married Xue Baochai, and did not read the words of Gao E's continuation of the last forty chapters.
Jia Huan guessed that this should be the result of Yuan Chun's decree to give marriage.
And after Yuanchun gave the marriage, Daiyu died, and Jia's mother was angry, and then the beginning of the collapse of the Jia family began.
What Jia Huan didn't expect was that he had crossed over, but he didn't expect Yuan Chun to still order a marriage, but this time the object of marriage was Lin Daiyu.
(The above can also be regarded as a response to the questions of netizens in the comment area about Yuan Chun's marriage, Yuan Chun, as a mother, is qualified to give marriage.) Of course, Lin Daiyu, as the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the marriage of Yuanchun may be a little inappropriate, but it is really difficult to be perfect, not leaking, and the shortcomings, please understand)
For this half-sister who has never met a few times, Jia Huan's mood is still quite complicated.
I used to be so pitiful, but now I am extremely disgusted with it.
The remaining affection in Jia Huan's heart for Rongguo Mansion has also been exhausted at this moment.
This time, Jia Huan didn't know why Emperor Chongkang summoned him, but in Jia Huan's opinion, this was an opportunity to break the situation.
openly resisted the imperial concubine's decree, and there were many troubles in this matter, so he couldn't really elope with Sister Lin, right?
If that's the case, where is your uncle Lin Ruhai?
Just as Jia Huan was thinking, he had already come to the palace.
Not long after, Jia Huan was invited into the imperial study.
Jia Huanbai saw Emperor Chongkang, so he was given a seat by Emperor Chongkang and ordered him to sit down and speak.
After Jia Huan sat down, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but say: "Jia Aiqing, this time my Great Xia was able to win a complete victory in the Battle of the Great Wall and annihilate tens of thousands of Jin troops. β
"Of course, Zhou Tong has a good command, but Zhou Tong said that this art of war was learned from Jia Aiqing. If Jia Aiqing personally commanded, he would definitely be able to achieve greater results. β
"In this way, Jia Aiqing can also be said to have contributed a lot!"
Hearing Emperor Chongkang's words, Jia Huan couldn't help but look at Emperor Chongkang with anticipation.
He now wanted to hear what Chong Kangdi was going to say next: I don't know what reward you want.
As long as Emperor Chongkang said this, Jia Huan would immediately ask Emperor Chongkang for marriage.
However, a hint of cunning flashed in Emperor Chongkang's eyes, but he suddenly stopped and categorically did not mention the reward.
This couldn't help but make Jia Huan dumbfounded.
What does the emperor mean by this? You called me in and said this again, and said that I was indispensable.
According to common sense, isn't the next thing to ask me what reward I want?
Why did it stop at the critical moment?
I'm going to show me this when my pants are all off?
Chongkangdi is not playing cards according to common sense!
And Chong Kangdi looked at the expression on Jia Huan's face, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face, like an old fox.
Jia Huan had no choice but to say: "The emperor praises falsely, and the micro-ministers dare not be ashamed." Weichen is just talking on paper, if he really commands in battle, he will definitely be in chaos, and he hopes that the emperor will be clear. β
Emperor Chongkang said with a smile: "Jia Aiqing doesn't have to be too humble, Jia Aiqing thinks, how can we train a strong army?" β
Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is a civil minister, and he doesn't know anything about the art of war, how dare he speak falsely?" If Your Majesty really wants to know the answer, it is better to look for those generals to ask. β
Emperor Chongkang sighed and said: "I also want to ask them for an answer, but these generals are the best at eating empty salaries and drinking the blood of soldiers one by one." He is also very skilled in colluding with Wenchen and even Jin Jun, but he is not good at the art of war, so what can he do? β
"If it weren't for my Daxia and Jia Aiqing and Zhou Tong this time, I'm afraid that even the last fig leaf would have been torn off in Daxia."
And Jia Aiqing not only led 300 soldiers, but he was able to burn down the granary of the Jin State, and set fire to the mountain to burn the generals of the Jin State and 3,000 soldiers and horses. is even more proficient in the art of war, even Zhou Tong frankly said that he was taught by you. β
"If Jia Aiqing doesn't know the art of war, then I'm afraid no one in Daxia understands the art of war."
"Besides, I didn't let you train a strong army myself, but only asked for your opinion. You say it in vain, and I listen to it in vain, that's all. β
Emperor Chongkang had already reached such a point, and Jia Huan had no choice but to say helplessly: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that if you want to train a strong army, you must do two things. β
Emperor Chongkang asked with great interest: "Oh, Jia Aiqing might as well expand and talk about it, what two things need to be done?" β
Jia Huan couldn't help but say: "The minister thinks that the first point is to strictly enforce military discipline, and it is necessary to enforce orders and prohibitions. β
"Looking at the battles between my Great Xia and the Jin Kingdom, there have always been more defeats and fewer victories, even if the number of soldiers in my Great Xia is twice as large as that of the Jin Kingdom, the defeated side is often my Great Xia side."
"Why is this so? The minister thought that the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom had grown up on horseback since childhood, and their skillful combat effectiveness of bows and horses was indeed stronger than that of my Daxia soldiers. β
However, the more important reason is that the soldiers of Great Xia are afraid of the Jin army like tigers, and they have not yet started the war, so they are cowardly first. And they don't trust each other, they can't fight anyway, and they all have to run away in the end, so they think about how to escape before they fight. β
"And on the battlefield, once the situation is scorched, there will inevitably be soldiers fleeing. And if someone fled, it would bring down the whole army. β
"Therefore, it is not that I am twice as strong as the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, and if it is really inferior to the Jin army, it is because of cowardice."
"Only by strictly enforcing military discipline, prohibiting the order, fighting to the death without Ming Jin withdrawing the troops, and letting the soldiers fully trust their comrades-in-arms and give each other their backs to their comrades-in-arms, can we defeat the Jin army."
Fighting on the battlefield is naturally not so simple.
However, what Jia Huan wanted to express, Chong Kangdi understood.
The angle of Jia Huan's analysis is very novel.
No general has ever analyzed the reasons why the Jin army cannot be defeated from this point of view.
After thinking about it, Chong Kangdi only felt that what Jia Huan said was very reasonable.
Under the fear of war, the Great Xia soldiers did not think about how to kill the enemy bravely, but how to escape.
Every soldier knows that his comrades-in-arms around him are unreliable, and they may run away at any time, and in this case, who else will kill the enemy bravely?
Under such circumstances, how can there be any reason to be invincible?
Emperor Chongkang's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he couldn't help asking, "Jia Aiqing, what is the second point?" β
Jia Huan said: "Your Majesty, I think that the second point is to let my Great Xia soldiers establish a sense of honor as a soldier. β
"If I am a soldier in Great Xia, I just regard being a soldier as a profession to earn a living. In battle, they will not kill the enemy bravely, but will only spare their lives to protect themselves. β
"Only let them have a sense of mission and let them realize that behind them are their wives and children! They are fighting for their compatriots, for their relatives, for my Great Xia, and for the honor of soldiers! β
"Only in this way can we really train a strong army."
After the Battle of the Peninsula, why did General Deser of the Beautiful Country sigh: they fought the wrong war at the wrong time, in the wrong place?
Why did he feel that the Chinese soldiers were an invincible army?
Obviously, in terms of weapons and equipment, they are ahead of the Chinese soldiers, I don't know how much?
The main reason is that the soldiers of the beautiful country only regard their soldiers as a profession.
The Chinese soldiers, on the other hand, regard defending their homes and the country as their beliefs engraved in their bones.
It is precisely because of their courageous spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice that they have made a great name.
After listening to Jia Huan's words, Emperor Chongkang fell into contemplation again.
The two strategies proposed by Jia Huan to strengthen the army made Chongkangdi's eyes light up and felt very reasonable.
However, before that, these two points were rarely mentioned.
This made Chongkangdi's face look thoughtful.
After a while, Emperor Chongkang suddenly said: "Jia Aiqing, you have also seen the current situation of my Great Xia. β
"Now those generals are unreliable, and the three battalions are vulnerable in front of the Jin army. I want to disrupt the three battalions and retrain a new army. β
"I wonder if Jia Aiqing is willing to share my worries and help me train an invincible new army? If Jia Aiqing is willing to take on this important responsibility, I will definitely reward Aiqing if she wants. β
Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
At this point, he understood why Emperor Chongkang asked him how to train a strong army.
I'm waiting for him here!
And Chongkang Emperor is a chicken thief, and he must be willing to take on this important task and help him train the new army, so that he is willing to reward him.
And the reason why Chong Kangdi chose him, Jia Huan can probably guess it.
First, it is probably because he has repeatedly performed miracles, leading 300 soldiers to burn the grain and grass of the Jin army, and burning the generals of the Jin army and 3,000 gold troops. There is also the reason why Zhou Tong's guy helped him become famous.
Second, it all depends on the foil of peers, needless to say, those Great Xia generals who are vulnerable in front of the Jin army. Wang Ziteng, the envoy of the Jingying Festival, was also extremely incompetent, which made Emperor Chongkang extremely disappointed.
Sanlai is probably because of his reliability, at least compared to Yuan Ping's collusion with the Jin Armyβmaybe they did not collude with the Jin Army.
The fact that the 200,000 Jin army was able to enter the hinterland of Great Xia did not necessarily mean that all the Great Xia generals were colluding with the Jin army, or rather, it was definitely not.
If they really colluded with the Jin army, then Great Xia would no longer exist now.
However, these generals all put their own interests first, and even did not hesitate to sell the interests of Great Xia for this reason.
In extreme cases, they may not rebel or even rebel.
These generals are not credible.
And Jia Huan is different, first of all, his master is Zhao Heng, and Jia Huan has been labeled as a reformer.
And the reformists are all lonely ministers.
Maybe when Jia Huan is really strong, maybe there will be a day when the tail will not be shaken off.
But at least for now, Jia Huan is absolutely credible.
And for Jia Huan, in fact, it is also a good choice for him to make a gorgeous transformation from a civil servant to a military general.
Jia Huan has a hunch that the road of change in Daxia may not be smooth sailing.
Maybe something will happen in the future.
That being the case, if you can control an army in your hands, you will at least have the capital to protect yourself.
Thinking of this, Jia Huan's face showed a helpless look, and he said unwillingly: "Your Majesty has an order, how dare Weichen disobey!" β
Seeing that Jia Huan agreed, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help laughing and said: "Jia Aiqing has contributed to the society, I don't know what reward Jia Aiqing wants?" β
Hearing this, Jia Huan immediately said: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to ask Your Majesty to marry the minister." β
Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but smile and asked, "Oh, I don't know which lady Jia Aiqing has fallen in love with?" β
Jia Huan said: "Your Majesty, Weichen fell in love with the daughter of Jiangnan Yanjiao Lin Ruhai Lin Mansion at first sight, and asked Your Majesty to marry Weichen!" β
Hearing the name Lin Ruhai, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but sigh: "Lin Aiqing is my minister of humerus, and Jiangnan is not a good place!" β
"It's just that there is no one at hand at the moment, if not, I would have wanted to transfer Lin Aiqing back to the capital."
"Guan Guan Ju Dove is on the river island, fair lady, good gentleman! Since Jia Aiqing begged for it, I agreed. β
"But you must treat Lin Aiqing's daughter well, if I hear that you treat her badly, I will not spare you."
Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" β
In his heart, he was in the abdomen: What the emperor said about treating Uncle Lin as the minister of the humerus, just listen to it, don't take it seriously.
How much did Aunt Lin suffer in the Jiangnan Salt Class? lost her son first and then her wife, Lin Daiyu's daughter, if she hadn't been sent to Jiafu, she might not have been able to save a life.
Lin Ruhai also died in the salt class in the end, what kind of humerus minister is this?
I'm afraid it's not the necrosis of the femoral head, right?
However, Emperor Chongkang agreed to give marriage, which can be described as a great joy for Jia Huan.
finally solved Sister Lin's problem perfectly, and this time the emperor gave her a marriage, look at the birdmen in Xifu and the big-faced treasure, dare not talk nonsense in the future! (End of chapter)
