serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 188 Everyone is happy?

The moon was covered by clouds, only twinkling stars, and the prairie was silent.

It is now less than half an hour away from the fifth day of August.

The vanguard camp was brightly lit.

"Who!" Suddenly, the night duty soldier on the watchtower asked loudly.

A group of patrolling soldiers rushed over upon hearing the sound, drew out their knives one after another, staring at the dark place ahead with all their attention.

One of the other party led the horse in front, and the two followed the horse on both sides, and walked slowly over.

"Stop! Otherwise, the arrow will be released!" The soldier on the watchtower shouted again.

"It's me!" A tired voice came over.

"General! It's the general who has returned to camp!" The soldier recognized Wang Dalei's voice, and couldn't help being excited at this moment, and shouted loudly.

The team of patrolling soldiers also saw Wang Dalei through the light of the brazier in front of the camp gate, put the knife into the scabbard, and stepped forward to help open the camp gate.

Wang Dalei was still wearing the casual clothes at this time, with a dusty and exhausted face, fifteen hours passed, more than [-] miles, three fast horses ran to death, and finally rushed back to the camp with the emperor's secret decree , but still one step too late.

When he came out of Taihe Building that day, he felt that something was wrong, and he didn't realize it until he arrived at Ningrong Street, but it was too late, so he could only hide in Ningguo Mansion, and then told the whole story to Jia She, who came in a hurry .

What happened afterwards was also within Jia Amnesty's expectations. Originally, Jia Amnesty meant to let him stay in Ningguo Mansion with peace of mind, wait for the Jia family to find evidence, and then fight back against the other party to completely clear the charges.

It's just that the following things were beyond expectations. The Mei family's second son pushed the Jia family to the forefront with a few words, especially Jia Hu and Yongweiying. Wang Hetang said it well. The Ningguo Mansion will only drag the Jia family down and make things worse.

Ever since he entered the Pioneer Camp, Wang Dalei had put life and death aside for a long time. He was not afraid of death, and he didn't want to drag Jia Hu down. He rejected the Jia family's kindness and followed Wang Hetang to the Ministry of Punishment.

From the time of You to the beginning of the time of Hai, Wang Dalei felt as long as decades in the short two hours. He was worried that Jia Hu and Yongweiying would be implicated because he could not find any evidence, so he was worried about this matter on his side. It would bring big troubles to Jia Hu and Yongwei Ying, and when he was worried about whether he could find any evidence, King Yizhong came with food and wine.

Not to mention Jia Amnesty's explanation, and Wang Hetang's instructions, even if he is the owner of the Taihe Building, Wang Dalei would not sit down with him to drink this wine.In addition, the flattering face of Yizhong County King really disgusted him. This is the first time he has seen such a brazen person. Fortunately, the emperor's secret decree arrived before he did it, otherwise it would not be throwing wine on his face It's that simple.

I must punch his bitch-like face a few times, make his face full of peach blossoms, and let him know why the flowers are so red!

Wang Dalei went straight to the wounded barracks. Hearing the yelling inside, a smile appeared on his tired face, and he opened the curtain and walked in.

Niu Ben and others lying on the hospital bed never expected that Wang Dalei would appear here at this time. Those who could get out of bed struggled to stand up, and those who could not move raised their heads, all of them looked very excited.

"Get down on your stomach, everyone!" Wang Dalei's eyes were wet, and before Niu Ben and others could speak, he hurriedly stepped forward to help a leader of the Pioneer Battalion to lie down on the bed, and said loudly.

The two soldiers behind him also stepped forward to help the injured soldier lying on the bed.

Niu Ben supported his waist with one hand, while dragging a chair, "General, please sit down."

"Go back to bed first."

Wang Dalei helped Niu Ben to the bed again, looked into the excited eyes and said loudly: "Thank you everyone!" After speaking, he first gave a deep bow to the soldiers on the left bed, and then turned to the soldiers on the sick bed on the right. They bowed deeply.

"General, did the imperial court give you justice?" a voice asked loudly.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Wang Dalei together.

Wang Dalei was stunned for a moment, then cleared his throat: "The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. If you break the law, you will naturally be punished. Your Majesty is merciful, and you will be demoted to three levels. He will lead the pioneer battalion to perform crimes and meritorious deeds. In addition, he will compensate the Mei family with 1000 taels of burning and burial expenses. "

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then began to discuss in a hurry.

Niu Ben said: "Did you commit crimes and make meritorious deeds? The court officials still think the general is guilty?!"

Wang Dalei fell silent.

Everyone was silent, and many looked indifferent, looking extremely frustrated.

Chinese military account
It is also brightly lit.

Jia Hu sat in front of the big case, with a map laid out on the big case.

The generals sitting on both sides stared fiercely at Eunuch Zhao who was sitting there.

Eunuch Zhao entered the palace at the age of ten, and it took more than [-] years to climb to this position. It was the first time he heard that the eunuch who represented the emperor was beaten, and it happened to him, but he dared not spread the news. Go back, if this incident becomes a big deal, it may immediately cause a drastic change!
Let the military doctor apply the medicine, wrap the red and swollen face with white silk, and then warn the accompanying eunuchs and the criminals, not to let them pass the matter back to the palace.

Eunuch Zhao lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the crowd. Everyone had read the emperor's secret decree. At first they thought it was a happy event. After all, the death of Mei Changwen's eldest son was directly related to Wang Dalei, so being demoted to three ranks was regarded as a lighter punishment.

But the problem is that this group of murderers doesn’t think so. They think that Mei Changwen’s eldest son deserves to die, because his insults and slanders against the Yongweiying are unforgivable.

In short, they did not think Wang Dalei was guilty, let alone the court's verdict.

"Did you commit a crime? What crime? Is Wang Dalei guilty?!" Xie Qiong pressed her palm on the short table and yelled loudly, pulling her neck.

A member of the riding battalion then yelled: "We bleed and fight in the front, but they live a life of wealth and wealth in the back! That's fine, and they want to ride on our heads to shit and piss, there's no way!"

Liu Kun said, "That's reasonable. He's not provoking Wang Dalei, he's provoking the entire brave guard battalion. It's only right and proper for Wang Dalei to beat him!"

Everyone shouted:

"This matter can't be left alone!"

"The imperial court must give an explanation!"

"Let the cabinet send the heads of the Mei family!"

Eunuch Zhao's face changed, knowing that he could no longer be silent, he said after consideration: "The miscellaneous family thinks that since the cabinet made such a judgment, it must be based on the law, and it is also the best outcome. Although Mei Changwen's eldest son was at fault first, he has already Pay your life, this matter should not be too harsh."

Xie Qiong: "Speaking of it, the cabinet is making peace and favoring civil servants."

Eunuch Zhao sighed, "They also have hardships to say." He casually looked at Jia Hu.

At this time, Jia Hu's eyes were moving quickly on the map, and finally fell on the Chengde Li Palace, which is also the Summer Resort. It also has a name, Rehe Palace.

There are hot springs in the summer resort. The spring water flows into the lake in the mountain resort through a channel of more than 90 meters. The lake water flows into the Wulie River. The Wulie River is an important tributary of the Luan River. In winter, it steams and does not freeze.

The Luan River crosses the Yanshan Mountains, cuts through the Yanshan Mountains, flows through the Great Wall, and finally enters the sea through Zhili.

The geographical location of the Rehe Palace is very good, going north directly to the hinterland of Eastern Liaodong, controlling the various ministries of Mongolia, and overlooking the pass.

As long as this place is captured, the Manchus will have to take a detour if they want to enter the Chahar Grassland. This will not only strengthen Dazhou's control over the Chahar Grassland, but also pose a threat to the hinterland of Liaodong, and the offensive and defensive forms will be completely changed.

Luanhekou is more than 100 miles away from Shanhaiguan. As long as Yanshan and Shanhaiguan are not breached, Luanhe shipping is safe, and it is a transportation channel that goes deep into the north.

Half an hour ago, Jia Hu received a secret letter from Jiao Da that the Supreme Emperor temporarily lost his power, that is to say, the Yongwei Battalion will soon go south to suppress the rebellion.

After experiencing the lesson from last time, Jia Hu felt that to change the current situation, the Manchus could not make a comeback as soon as the army withdrew. Jehol Palace.

In addition to the strategic significance, Jia Hu also wanted to weaken the strength of the Mongolian tribes in Guanwai to prevent them from rebelling again.

Thinking of this, Jia Hu pressed his hand, stood up, and his eyes slowly swept over the faces of everyone: "Take down the Rehe Palace."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Jia Hu: "General Yang Dayong."

Yang Dayong stood up immediately: "The end is here."

Jia Hu: "You set off overnight, and bring all the horses at the foot of Daqing Mountain before noon tomorrow."

Yang Dayong: "No!" He turned around and walked out.

Jia Hu: "General Zhang Cheng."

Zhang Cheng stood up: "The end is here."

Jia Hu: "With the general's token, go to the various ministries of Mongolia to recruit soldiers, and tell them that the commander needs [-] elites." As he spoke, he took out a token from a box beside him.

Zhang Cheng: "No!" He stepped forward to take the token, and strode out.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Jia Hu went on to say: "Tomorrow at noon, we will set off, one person and two horses will rush to the Jehol Palace."
