My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 110 Border Warning
Datong Prefecture, Shanxi

A piece of ruins, the siege that had just ended left endless blood and tragedy.

Several crooked squatting cannons were scattered around the city wall, and a strong smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Around the city wall, countless corpses wearing red mandarin duck jackets were scattered on the ground, forming a tragic scene.

Some corpses fell under the city wall, their armor still shining with a cold light.

Iron swords, spears, horn bows and other weapons can be seen everywhere, but most of them are stained with blood.

These scenes all tell people that this important town in northwest Daxia has fallen.

On the crowded and noisy streets of Shenjing, a knight in red armor galloped past with three red feathers flying high on his back.

Pedestrians on both sides of the street were frightened by his sudden arrival and fled in panic.

Countless elderly people and children were pushed to both sides of the street, and women's screams could be heard everywhere.

On the street, a four-person sedan was walking slowly on the street. The porter walking in front saw the knight suddenly appearing in front of him and the screaming crowd around him. The expression of the porter who was about to curse changed and he quickly ordered the people around him to come. The companions carried the sedan aside, fearing to encounter the galloping knight.

Because he moved too quickly, he almost overturned the sedan chair.

"What happened? Why are you so frizzy?"

An old voice came from the sedan, and an old man with a thin appearance and a displeased expression opened the curtain of the sedan and poked his head out. This old man was none other than Tan Qingyun, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

"Sir, the person who just passed by was a messenger with three red feathers stuck in his back."

"Three red feathers!" Tan Qingyun's expression changed immediately. Of course he understood what this meant.

The three red feathers represent an urgent situation, and anyone who sees this knight must give way.

Not to mention him as the chief minister of the cabinet, even if the current prince was here and dared to block the way of the messenger, he deserved to be killed.

It’s just that the urgent messenger hasn’t appeared for many years. Why did it suddenly appear today?
"Turn around immediately and let's enter the palace!" Tan Qingyun immediately ordered.

Tan Qingyun's reaction was right. When he was halfway there, a melodious bell rang from the palace.

"When...when...when..."

The urgent Jingyang bell rang 24 times in a row, and then rang again after a pause.

This big bell placed on the Jingyang Tower in the imperial city cannot be struck casually. On weekdays, he only strikes three times every morning. The palace people hear the bell and get up early to decorate it.

If the hammer is knocked 24 times in a row, it means that something big is happening in the court. Officials in Beijing must put down whatever they are doing and enter the palace immediately. Those who fail to do so will be severely fined.

In just a quarter of an hour, the entire Shenjing suddenly felt like a pot was boiling, and countless officials who had just left the court turned back and headed towards the way they came from...

Shenjing Western Suburbs Selection Camp School Ground

Jia Yu stood on a high platform, and groups of soldiers wearing red mandarin duck jackets were lining up neatly for training.

Soldiers wearing red mandarin duck jackets lined up neatly, and everyone stood solemnly and firmly in their positions.

"Raise the gun!"

"Whoa..."

Following the order from a famous soldier, the soldiers raised their spears at the same time.The entire queue towered into the sky like giants that had just emerged from the soil. They held their wooden spears horizontally, and their movements were uniform without any shaking.

The sun shines through the clouds on the school grounds, illuminating the red-gleaming coats of the soldiers.

Under the sunlight, sweat slid down the forehead of each soldier, shining with crystal clear light in the sunlight.

"Don't move...just hold on!"

Around the soldiers, judges were patrolling the team. These people's eyes were poisonous. Whenever they saw someone shaking or the spear in their hand shaking, the wooden stick in their hand would immediately be merciless. Smoke it.

"Not bad...it's really good."

At some point, Feng Tang had already arrived next to him, looking at the densely packed soldiers on the school field with envious eyes.

"Think twice. It seems that I have indeed underestimated you. You can train your troops to this level in less than two months. Your training methods are indeed much better than mine."

"Shibo, thank you for the award."

Jia Yu smiled and said, "The ability to train soldiers like this depends on His Majesty's trust, and thanks to Shi Bo's strong support, otherwise my nephew would have nowhere to display his great abilities.

Besides, Brother Ziying also worked hard. Haven't you seen that he has lost a lot of weight these days? "

"Haha... I have to thank you for that traitor to be so successful."

When Feng Ziying was mentioned, Feng Tang always thought of Captain Huai.

After Feng Ziying entered the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, she first became a deputy of the ninth rank, and then became a sixth rank commander. In less than half a year, she completed the journey of an ordinary person's life. road.

Feng and Tang were extremely grateful to Jia Yu for her kindness.

He suddenly remembered something: "By the way, nephew, you said before that you will organize the newly recruited [-] soldiers into a separate firearms battalion. I wonder when your firearms will arrive?"

Jia Yu thought for a while: "We have sent people to buy the firearms, but it will take some time to transport them. I guess they will arrive in a few days."

Feng Tang wanted to say something else, but a soldier from the Selected Front Battalion hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "I would like to inform you two adults that there is an urgent report from the border. Your Majesty will summon you two to enter the palace immediately!"

"Something happened, let's go to the palace immediately to face the saint."

Their expressions darkened, and they had no time to say anything more.

Jia Yu summoned Feng Ziying and Wu Yunchun and asked them to watch the soldiers training, and then they hurriedly mounted their horses and galloped away.

Three quarters of an hour later, the two people who came in a hurry arrived at Huangji Palace.

This palace was the place where Emperor Changping held morning dynasties, promulgated grand ceremonies, and held important discussions.

When they arrived, they found that the place was already filled with a dense crowd. Countless officials wearing python robes, unicorn robes, scarlet robes, green robes, and green robes lined up in a long line that stretched from the main hall to the Jinshui Bridge at the back. .

Jia Yu, who was participating in such a grand occasion for the first time, was a little confused for a while. Although the emperor gave him the title of a third-rank Zhaoyong general, his actual position was only a fourth-rank commander. He didn't know where he wanted to stand for a while. .

Seeing Feng Tang continue to walk in, he quickly called out to him, "Hey... Shibo... where should I stand?"

"This... I don't know clearly." Feng Tang was also a bit over the top. He was no better than others when he went to court. There were censors patrolling the area, specifically to detect those officials who were disrespectful and undisciplined. Once discovered, they would be impeached immediately.

Just when Jia Yu was in a dilemma, a young eunuch walked quickly towards the two of them...
