Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 281: The strong are respected (please subscribe)

Speaking of Jia Cong's sudden rise, the happiest people are undoubtedly the Xue family.

In fact, the Xue family has been in a happy state since Jia Cong was admitted to Wutanhua.

Even Xue Baochai has stopped thinking about other things. Apart from the family business, most of his thoughts are on Jia Cong, and he is very concerned about any news about him.

Now, when she goes to Rong Mansion to check in with other people, she is really just visiting relatives.

Even if Mrs. Wang had any other thoughts and her mother, Aunt Xue, was shaken, she would not react at all.

She naturally knows what Mrs. Wang is thinking.

That is to say, for the sake of relatives and my mother, I didn’t care too much.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Wang did something to stabilize Xue Baochai.

For example, during the Dragon Boat Festival, the gifts sent by the Yuan Concubine in the palace were of the same grade as those of Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu, while those of the other Sanchun sisters and Lin Daiyu were of inferior quality.

In the past, she might have been shaken, but now she just finds it funny.

Not to mention the potential revealed by Jia Cong, the Xue family has already established a relationship with the Zhongshun County Prince's Palace at this time.

At the same time, his brother Xue Pan was enjoying life outside. Not only did the Xue family's wealth not decrease, but it was also increasing rapidly, and they felt quite confident.

Now that Jia Cong has become the actual governor again, Xue Baochai is in a good mood.

However, I heard that Jia Cong will soon lead the army to fight against bandits in other places.

I was worried for a moment, but I didn't know how to resolve it?

After knowing her thoughts, Xue Pan didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "Don't worry too much, sister. Brother Cong's martial arts are quite powerful!"

"As for running the army, with the inheritance of Ning Rong's Second Mansion, how can it be any worse?"

Aunt Xue also echoed: "That's right, what your brother said is very reasonable!"

"To tell the truth, Brother Cong's current conditions are much better than those of your uncle back then!"

"Although the Wang family also started out with military exploits, their background is much worse than that of Ning Rong's second family!"

"Back then, your uncle easily took the position of Jiedu Envoy in Beijing with the help of Ning Rong's second house. As long as Brother Cong can get some support and help, his future will be limitless!"

"Sister, there is no need to worry about this!"

Xue Pan continued: "Sister, you should have seen a sand table, right?"

Xue Baochai nodded. She had seen it when she was a guest at the Lin family, and had also discussed it with Lin Daiyu.

"Since Brother Cong has been practicing martial arts, every once in a while, with the help of Brother Huan, he will review some famous battles in history, as well as some classic battles in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China!"

Xue Pan smiled and said: "From what Brother Huan said, Brother Cong's military theory level will not be much worse than that of a veteran general in the army. He only needs enough time to hone his practical experience to become a general in the army!"

"Besides, it's not like Ning Rong's Second Mansion doesn't have veterans with rich combat experience. Brothers Huan will make good arrangements. It's just that going outside to suppress bandits is not going to the border to fight the barbarians!"

After hearing his brother's explanation, Xue Baochai breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she asked out of curiosity: "Brother, I heard what you said. Brother Cong has been learning to cultivate military general abilities since he was a child. Are you planning to take the military general route early on?"

Fortunately, when she was still temporarily staying in Rongfu Lixiangyuan, she thought that Rongfu and the Jia family in the capital were really planning to switch from literature to martial arts. For this reason, she persuaded Jia Baoyu to study hard and make progress, but she was dumped by this kid several times. .

"This should be Brother Huan's consideration!"

Xue Pan shook his head and said: "Sister, you should also know that Rong Mansion's sincere treatment of the concubine is beyond words!"

"It would be too laborious to follow the literary path, and it would easily attract the attention of the old lady of Rong Mansion and lead to unnecessary suppression!"

"Of course, I have known Brother Cong for a long time. I know that this boy is not interested in the Four Books and Five Classics, but he is very interested in practicing martial arts, and he can endure the pain of practicing martial arts!"

"I heard, just heard, that in order to provide Brother Cong with better training resources, Brother Huan also begged the Ning Mansion to help Brother Cong obtain the inheritance of military generals left by Duke Xianning!"

Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked why he didn't ask for the inheritance of the military generals of Rongfu, but then he realized it and chuckled: "Brother Huan is really interesting!"

"Isn't it interesting?"

Xue Pan said leisurely: "Otherwise, there would be no current achievements!"

Xue Baochai was thoughtful and admired Jia Huan a little more, and he did not dare to underestimate him anymore.

On the other side, Jia Cong was in a state of excitement after being appointed and could not calm down for several days.

He didn't expect that following Jia Huan's instructions would lead to such great benefits!

It’s incredible that the official position on his body has changed from imaginary to real!

No, the No. 1 pick and No. 2 pick in the same period looked at him wrongly. Of course, congratulations were indispensable.

Unfortunately, such opportunities are rare, and they don't have someone like Jia Huan to help them make plans, so they can only take their time step by step.

Even though he knew Brother Huan's plan, Jia Cong never expected that the effect would be so good?

Of course, ordinary people can control the Zhongshun Prince, and there are also a group of his followers who add fuel to the fire.

Yes, Jia Cong knew very well that this time Jia Huan had put a lot of effort into creating a great opportunity step by step through Prince Zhongshun, and it was not a piece of pie in the sky.

Of course, they were just following the trend, but there was no crazy move to intercept and kill several imperial envoys.

Although Brother Huan had said in advance that he was not optimistic about the imperial envoys sent out today, no one expected that the local salt owl would act so boldly.

That's right, when Brother Huan discussed this matter in private, he insisted that it was Yan Xiao who did it!

The so-called salt lords include all the large, medium and small salt merchants in Yangzhou, as well as salt gangs and other forces. It can be regarded as an entire industrial chain of selling private salt. In short, no one can clear the suspicion.

According to Brother Huan, since the opportunity has come, it is natural to seize it.

I just didn’t expect that he would be so generous this time! After receiving the order, I rested for a few days, settled matters at home, and immediately went to the Jingying camp.

With the help of Baoling Hou, the regimental and battalion commander, a thousand strong men were quickly selected, including officers of all levels. According to Baolinghou, they are all considered the elites in the camp.

Since they are elites, they are naturally unruly and unruly people, and it is not easy to subdue them.

"Do you want my help?"

Baolinghou was a little worried and said: "These guys are not easy to deal with!"

"Don't worry!"

Jia Huan, who came with him, chuckled and said, "If we can't solve this little problem, what will we have in the future? Sooner or later, we will capsize and be unlucky!"

"How old is Brother Cong?"

Bao Linghou disagreed a little and said: "Are the requirements too strict?"

"You can go to the battlefield at any time, so you can't be strict!"

Jia Huan chuckled and said: "It is not easy to give him the opportunity to suppress bandits and accumulate practical experience today!"

"It's better than going directly to the frontier battlefield. I heard that several frontiers are not peaceful!"

Some of the soldiers around Jia Cong are all martial arts disciples and are absolutely one of their own.

Some of the other soldiers are descendants of the old soldiers of the Rong Mansion sent by the eldest master.

As for the remaining quotas, they are reserved for the soldiers under his command. Do we have to give the new boys a chance to advance?

Jia Huan also came to take a look, and was still very confident in Jia Cong.

In addition, I would also like to remind Marquis Baoling not to follow the crowd of other colleagues in the Beijing camp.

Not only must we train our men seriously, but we must at least maintain sufficient condition for ourselves and our soldiers to avoid being caught off guard when they are suddenly transferred to the border.

I believe there will be news from southern Xinjiang soon.

On the northwest frontier, as the small-scale fighting continued for more than a year, the tribes outside the Great Wall there had already reacted and made plans to fight back.

These are all information discovered through the Xue family's business network.

I just don’t know, does the intelligence agency affiliated with the royal family and the court have relevant information?

In short, Jia Huan doesn't feel very good!

In an era of underdeveloped transportation, information was blocked too much.

Maybe, some people or forces have made small moves in private, who knows?

In short, there is always no problem if the bowling lord is mentally prepared.

"Brother Huan, are you saying that there may be large-scale mobilization in the Beijing camp?"

Baolinghou was surprised, and his face suddenly became serious.

With his previous experience, he did not dare to neglect Jia Huan's opinions at all.

If Jia Huan didn't want him to interfere, Jia Cong would have transferred people to his subordinates as soon as he passed the martial arts examination and became a powerful general. It would be easy to be promoted to guard after two or three years.

It can only be said that everyone underestimated the interest alliance of the four major Jinling families, which was still quite strong at this time.

There are people in the court and there are people in the army.

That is to say, Wang Ziteng has the highest and most dazzling position, and everyone's eyes are on him.

I thought that Wang Ziteng was still the leader of the four major families in Jinling.

Since Wang Ziteng is still wandering around the border, the interest alliance of the four major Jinling families is not something to be afraid of.

In fact, Wang Ziteng has been excluded from the core of the four major families in Jinling.

The current four major families in Jinling are an alliance of interests with the Ningrong Second House as the core and the Shi family as the auxiliary.

You are indeed not eligible to participate in big things, but it is still easy to do some actions.

For example, it can be done by helping Jia Cong arrange his duties and plan his future growth route.

However, Jia Huan has his own ideas and plans, and the results are in front of him.

If nothing else, Bao Linghou was quite impressed.

There are also some descendants of the Shi family serving in the Beijing camp, and there are also martial arts candidates of the same age as Jia Cong.

But neither of the two princes of the Shi family thought of using court fighting to help their children rise quickly.

But Jia Huan did it, and he did it very well.

Unexpectedly, Jia Cong was already the powerful commander of the capital at this time, and his official position was only one level lower than his.

No one can tell when he will rise up and become a third-level general.

Jia Cong's performance naturally did not disappoint Jia Huan, and his performance was quite brilliant.

Since ancient times, the strong have been respected in the army. If you want to establish your authority, relying on tyrannical martial arts is the best choice.

I haven’t seen it, even the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army was so bad. A capable instructor like Lin Chong is quite famous in the world.

Jia Cong's martial arts at this time was not as good as Lin Chong's, but he was definitely considered a first-rate warrior in the army.

This is indeed the case. Jia Cong chose to compete in the military to establish his power!
