My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 130: Randomly changing the ancestral system
Seeing a group of ministers quarreling and even the patrolling censor unable to stop them, Dai Quan winked at the eunuch below.

"Hoo... slap..."

Soon, a loud crack of a whip suddenly sounded, and the explosion-like sound echoed in the hall, suppressing all the quarrels.

"quiet!"

Tan Qingyun also stood up at the right time and shouted angrily: "You actually dare to roar in front of me, do you still have your Majesty in your eyes?"

The identity of the chief assistant was still very useful. Seeing Tan Qingyun personally coming out to maintain order, the officials gradually dispersed and returned to work.

It should be said, although the officials were quarreling fiercely, the IQ of those who could stand in the Huangji Palace was not bad. They also knew that the reason why Huang Taiji chose this time to send troops to besiege Shenyang was to contain the Liaodong Army. Let them deploy troops to support Tongguan.

And it is very likely that Hou Jin has formed a tacit understanding or even colluded with the Mongolian Tatars. The two sides, one from the north and the other from the west, worked together to put pressure on Daxia, weaken Daxia's national power as much as possible, and prepare for the invasion of Daxia in the future.

Thinking of this, the faces of all the officials in the hall became ugly.

Is it possible that Daxia, which used to chase the Mongols in Mobei and beat them to the point of running away without daring to look south, is about to collapse?
Emperor Changping, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at Tan Qingyun with a cold glint in his eyes, "Tan Aiqing, when will the cabinet be able to prepare all the food, grass and equipment? If there is any difficulty, Aiqing, just tell me."

Hearing this, Wang Zhijie, who was standing behind Tan Qingyun, looked at Tan Qingyun strangely.

The emperor asked a cabinet minister in front of all the civil and military officials when he would be able to prepare the urgently needed food and grass for the army. This in itself was a question of his ability. If Tan Qingyun could not give a satisfactory answer, Changping The emperor is really capable of falling out.

Tan Qingyun quickly bowed to Emperor Changping: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will do my best to deliver the grain, grass and equipment to Tongguan within ten days. If I can't, I will take off my black gauze hat."

Emperor Changping's calm voice came from the Dragon Throne: "In eight days... If your beloved cannot transport the grain and grass to Tongguan within eight days, I will personally go to Longshou Palace to request an order from my father to remove you from the position of chief minister. position."

Having said this, Emperor Changping stood up, slowly walked down the steps, and came to Tan Qingyun and others.

"You guys remember, Tongguan is the last gate to Shenjing. If it is lost due to lack of food, grass and equipment, you will all be the sinners of Daxia!"

Tan Qingyun's body trembled, and he knelt down towards Emperor Changping. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please be at ease. Even if I risk my life, I will transport the grain and grass to Tongguan within eight days."

Emperor Changping did not speak, but gave him a meaningful look.

After a long time, Dai Quan's slightly sharp voice rang out.

"Retreat!"

…………

Less than half a day after retreating from the court, news of Hou Jin's sudden siege of Shenyang spread throughout Shenjing in an instant.

For a while, the people were all panicked, and many people couldn't understand why Daxia, which was at its peak decades ago, had fallen to such a state in just over 30 years.

The Mongolian Tatars, who were beaten to death by the Great Xia cavalry in the past, actually reached Tongguan. The little-known Jianzhou Jurchen in the past also dared to make a fortune on her own. What happened to this world?
After getting the news that Hou Jin also took the opportunity to attack Liaodong, Jia Yu increasingly felt the urgency of time.

While he was seizing time to train the soldiers, he began to conduct live ammunition training on the soldiers.

On the school grounds of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, Jia Yu stood among a group of new soldiers, holding a freshly fired musket in her hand and shouting loudly.

"Look, what I'm holding now is the latest musket... Of course... I prefer to call it a musket.

This kind of musket is named Changping Type [-] musket.

Compared with the old-fashioned muskets from Shenji Camp in the past, this kind of musket is lighter, more powerful, and can hit farther.

It weighs eight pounds, is four feet seven inches long, has a caliber of 0.33 fathoms ([-] inches), and can penetrate armor within a hundred steps.

Now, I will show you how to operate it. "After that, Jia Yu took out a piece of paper-packed gunpowder from his pocket.

He first bit open one end and poured some gunpowder into the gunpowder pool.

After closing the gunpowder pool, he stuffed the remaining gunpowder and lead bullets into the muzzle of the gun, punched it twice with a purge bar, opened the hammer, pointed the muzzle at the wooden target a hundred steps away, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

With a burst of white smoke rising, the wooden target fell to the ground instantly.

"Wow……"

The soldiers were all amazed, and soon someone ran over and picked up the wooden target. Jia Yu asked it to be handed over to everyone for inspection.

Everyone saw that the wooden target, which was originally thumb-thick, had a fist-sized hole.

Seeing the power of this fire gun, everyone was amazed.

Many of the people present had also seen the firecrackers originally equipped by Daxia.

Today, the fire guns equipped by Daxia Shenji Camp are still the old matchlock guns from more than 70 years ago.

Not only is the power poor, but the quality is also very worrying, and the effective range is less than half of this musket.

Feng Ziying, Xie Youyuan, Wu Yunchun and other commanders' eyes were shining brightly. If they could also be equipped with this firearm, their combat effectiveness would skyrocket.

Jia Yu caught everyone's eyes and said, "Okay, I know what you are thinking, but now is not the time to think about it.

What you have to do now is to train the soldiers as soon as possible, and the number of musketeers is only 6000, and the remaining [-] people have other things to do.

For example, I want to mobilize 1000 people to form an artillery battalion..."

Under Jia Yu's strict order, the soldiers of the entire Military and Horse Division were operating at full strength like clockwork machines.

Moreover, Jia Yu restructured the team during this period.

Among them were 1000 musketeers, 500 artillery battalions, [-] sword and shield soldiers, and [-] pikemen.

During this period, Jia Yu even designed a special set of military uniforms for the Musketeers.

This military uniform is somewhat similar to the lobster soldiers of later generations.

A bright red jacket, white trousers and a French flat-top helmet, plus a pair of cloth shoes, a bullet belt and a backpack, just like this, the musketeer's equipment is complete.

When Jia Yu issued this military uniform to the troops, the whole battalion was in a sensation, and all the soldiers looked at each other when they saw this uniform.

Although it continues the consistent color of Daxia military uniforms, what the hell is this red top and white pants paired with?

Some well-informed officers even recognized it. This military uniform seemed somewhat similar to the military uniforms of the Yi people.

There will never be a shortage of people in this world who add insult to injury and hate out of jealousy. Someone soon impeached Jia Yu.

The reason for impeachment is very simple, that is, he is changing the ancestral system indiscriminately and has evil intentions.
