serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 434 Another Mid-Autumn Festival 3
Many people, densely packed young men, lined up outside the main camp of Yongwei Camp. They all craned their necks and looked anxiously into the deep camp gate.

At this time, a group of young men came out dejectedly.

After a while, the officer on duty at the gate came out and said to them: "Go back, the quota is full!"

The young and strong crowd lining up immediately became agitated.

The young man at the top of the queue spoke: "Impossible! I queued here for two days and one night. Counting the number of people, you only recruited more than [-] people."

Another young man spoke: "I have several relatives who work in the yamen, and they all say that you are going to expand the army by [-] this time."

Another young man said: "You are not like this. We want to see the prince!"

Many people shouted: "We want to see the prince!"

"Listen to me!"

The officer shouted this and then sighed: "Alas! The imperial court allowed the Yongwei Battalion to expand its troops by 1, but the capital only gave [-] places, so there is nothing we can do."

"what happened?"

"How can we go back?"

Countless people behind the team asked anxiously.

A young man turned his head and shouted excitedly to the people behind him: "The imperial court only gave us 1 places in Zhili!"

A pot exploded immediately behind him:

"This is the idea of ​​someone with a dark heart. This is going to ruin the career of us Zhili people!"

"The Gou Ri Ministry of War must be so evil!"

"Go to the Ministry of War and argue with them!"

There was really a response, and immediately most of the young and strong people rushed towards the capital.
At this moment, Xie Qiong, Wang Dalei, Zhang Cheng, Wang Yaozu, Jia Yun, Liu Xianglian and the generals of each battalion were gathered in the Chinese army's tent. In addition to the supervisor, Eunuch Zhao, there were dozens of people.

The commander's seat in the middle was vacant. Xie Qiong stood beside the big table and cleared his throat: "The military report from the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou said that the old Nan'an County King has gathered 10,000+ troops and the rebel forward has entered Guizhou. Moreover, the Liaodong Army has a tendency to go north. Once these two rebel armies join together, the local troops in Huguang and other places will not be able to resist them!"

Having said this, he picked up an official document from the major case and continued: "The Ministry of War made military predictions based on military reports from various places, guessing that the rebels would divide their forces: starting from Yunnan, marching into Sichuan, and after occupying the entire Sichuan area, Heading straight to Gansu, they attacked the main force of the Jingying and Datong Guards from north to south with the rebels in the northwest.

Then he attacked Shaanxi eastward and captured the entire Guanzhong area.The other route is to attack Hunan, and then Hubei. How about that?Sounds familiar? "

Wang Dalei was really worried and said: "Isn't this the route Wu Sangui took to conquer the Manchu Tatars?"

It was a foregone conclusion that the imperial power would fall by the wayside. Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with this sentence, and they all nodded in agreement.

Xie Qiong glanced at the supervisor, Eunuch Zhao, and saw Eunuch Zhao sitting there drinking tea as if nothing happened.

Since that incident, Eunuch Zhao has developed the habit of talking less and being silent. If Xie Qiong hadn't sent someone to invite him, he would have been unwilling to attend the meeting.

Xie Qiong smiled, threw away the official document, and then said: "However, the commander has a different judgment."

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Eunuch Zhao, raised their heads and looked at Xie Qiong closely, and there was silence for a while.

Xie Qiong: "Li Chengyang will attack Guangxi, go straight to Hunan to join the old Nan'an County King, and then attack Hubei, then Jiangxi, and finally Jinling!"

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

"By taking down the Jinling Manufacturing Bureau, the rebels will be able to continue their attack northward."

At this point, Xie Qiong paused for a moment, and then said word by word: "The decisive battle at Jinling!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in silence.

Eunuch Zhao couldn't help it anymore and said to Xie Qiong: "We can't just watch the rebels attack the city and hand over Huguang and other places to the rebels!"

Xie Qiong looked at him: "Watch the wind and descend."

Eunuch Zhao was stunned and couldn't move.

Wang Dalei, Zhang Cheng and others looked at each other. Like the cabinet, they only thought about holding back the rebels in Huguang and other places, or even resisting the rebels' attack. They did not think about this.

Xie Qiong continued: "The rebels will really launch a large-scale attack on Jinling by the end of the year. The top priority is to reorganize the new army. For this time, you should put other things aside and focus on the new army."

Everyone stood up: "Yes."

Xie Qiong looked at Eunuch Zhao again: "The commander-in-chief said that the supervisor can report this matter to the palace."

Eunuch Zhao came to his senses and said, "Yes." He stood up and walked out.

Xie Qiong: "You all go down."

Everyone replied in unison: "Yes." They walked outside the tent. "Liu Xianglian will stay for a while," Xie Qiong added.

Liu Xianglian stopped.

Xie Qiong looked at him: "You pick 500 people from the sentry camp, put them all in plain clothes, go separately, and meet at Jinling." As he said, he took out a letter from his sleeve: "This is a letter from the commander-in-chief to you."

Liu Xianglian took the letter with both hands: "Yes. I will arrange it now!"

Xie Qiong smiled: "Don't worry, we'll leave early tomorrow morning after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Liu Xianglian replied loudly: "Yes." She turned around and strode out.

After packing up the official documents on the major case, Xie Qiong also walked out.

The handsome flag on the flagpole in front of the Chinese army's tent was blown by the northwest wind. Xie Qiong looked into the distance with his hands behind his back. When Jia Hu said that he would fight Li Chengyang in Jinling, he understood Jia Hu's plan. , First of all, the location of Jinling is moderate. Once there are changes in the capital, we can quickly move northward.In addition, Jia Hu wants to use the hands of the rebels to destroy the foundation of the imperial court's rule in the south!

The Battle of Jinling can also be said to be the battle for the founding of the country!

At this time, a rapid sound of horse hooves came over, and Xie Qiong turned her head to look.

Yang Dayong galloped towards this side with his horse, ran to Xie Qiong, reined in the reins, jumped off the horse, and said loudly: "Uncle Xie, I want to ask you a favor."

Gee!
Xie Qiong now gets a headache every time he hears someone calling him "Uncle Xie", something must be up to him!

Yang Dayong came over: "Uncle Xie, help me tell the commander-in-chief that I don't want to defend the imperial city. I want to follow the commander-in-chief and go south to put down the rebellion."

Xie Qiong stared at Yang Dayong, and then smiled.

Yang Dayong felt a little uncomfortable: "Why are you laughing?"

Xie Qiong: "They say stupid people are lucky. I didn't believe it until I met you."

Yang Dayong was stunned: "Uncle Xie is praising me?!"

Seeing him like that, Xie Qiong smiled happily: "You, you, okay, I'll tell you clearly, you and the ten thousand shield soldiers under your command are just the same knife, one inserted in the heart of the court. knife, do you know?"

Without waiting for Yang Dayong to speak, he continued: "Hurry up and have a child, it will be good for you." After that, he walked straight to the rear camp.

Yang Dayong looked at the direction Xie Qiong was walking in, and seemed to understand something. He was startled for a moment, then remembered Xie Qiong's last words, and smiled bitterly in his heart. It had been almost two years since they got married, and he and Yingchun still had no children, and the two had no children. People are in good health.
It was dusk.

Jia Hu walked out of Jia She's study. Lin San was already waiting outside the door.

As soon as he saw Jia Hu coming out, Lin San hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "The common people have surrounded the Yamen of the Ministry of War!"

Jia Hu was startled: "How could they get in?"

Lin Sanyi smiled: "I don't know. A large group of young people walked into the official office in a swaggering manner, and then surrounded the Ministry of War."

Jia Hu smiled, there were all kinds of strange things, and asked: "For what?"

Lin San: "This matter has something to do with us." He mentioned the conscription once more and said with a smile: "These people are really brave. They dared to run into the government office and surround the Yamen of the Ministry of War. Fortunately, I met Liu Kun. Personally, hehe, they will all be sent to the Ministry of War prison."

As he said that, he looked at Jia Hu again: "Your Majesty, this more or less represents a bit of public opinion."

Jia Hu smiled knowingly and strode towards Yimen.

"Second brother!" A familiar voice came over, and Jia Hu followed the sound.

I saw Jia Baoyu running over like flying, carrying a cloth bundle.

"Why are you here?"

"These are some light things I bought when I just went shopping. The small basket made of willow branches and the incense box made of bamboo roots are for girl Xuan. The sand lamp and bicycle are for my nephew. "

After handing the baggage to Lin San, Jia Baoyu took Jia Hu aside and whispered, "I just heard from Jin Chuan'er that people from the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion came to apply for official positions and wanted to work as servants in the Ministry of Household Affairs." After finishing speaking, , looked around: "That Qi Jianhui is not a good person."

Jia Hu: "Oh? How do you know?"

Jia Baoyu: "I don't like him, just like, right, just like when I first met Jia Yucun, it makes people feel disgusted."

Jia Hu smiled: "Okay, I understand."

Jia Baoyu also smiled: "I'm going back, otherwise Xiren will look for me everywhere again."

"Go back quickly."

"Hey."

Looking at Jia Baoyu's back disappearing into the corner, Jia Hu smiled.
