My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 131 Jia Yu’s proposal

"This bastard has caused trouble for me again!"

Looking at the large number of memorials to impeach Jia Yu in the Long Case, Emperor Changping felt dizzy.

Although since Jia Yu became the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, the attempts to impeach him have never stopped.

There are various reasons ranging from "reforming the ancestral system" to "changing the ancient ways and rebelling against others", etc.

Although Emperor Changping generally ignored these impeachment scandals, the officials below him seemed to be in a fight with him because they couldn't stand it. You just ignored it, right?Then I will continue to make excuses and annoy you to death.

Emperor Changping, who was originally furious about the war between Liaodong and Tongguan, finally got angry and shouted to Dai Quan: "Go... call that bastard to me. I want to ask him what's going on?"

Not long after, Jia Yu, who was training at the school grounds, hurried to the Daming Palace.

"Jia Yu...what's going on with you?"

Seeing Jia Yu's arrival, Emperor Changping vented all his firearms on him.

I saw him grabbing a bunch of folders on the table and throwing them at him, and they suddenly scattered all over the floor.

"I asked you to train well. Look at you... you don't do anything serious all day long, but do a lot of bad things. Even training a soldier can make you come up with a lot of crooked ways. Take a look at your own home... all of these It's to impeach you.

Tell me honestly whether you can still practice this soldier. If you can't practice it, tell me as soon as possible and I will find someone to practice for you! "

Jia Yu, who was scolded as soon as he entered the door, looked confused. He picked up the memorial on the ground and looked through it casually, and soon understood the reason.

Emperor Changping sat on a chair and looked at him quietly. After he finished reading, he said coldly: "Tell me...what is going on?"

"It's okay."

Jia Yu said in confusion: "I just trial-produced a batch of new military uniforms for those musketeers... well, the musketeers. After wearing them, I felt that the effect was pretty good, so I let them wear them."

"Put it on."

Emperor Changping was almost angry, "Do you know that it is a serious crime to privately manufacture military uniforms and privately change the military system?"

"I have not tampered with the military uniform."

Jia Yu still looked innocent, "Your Majesty, although I have changed a batch of new military uniforms for the soldiers, there is a reason. Who told the Yamen of the Ministry of War not to issue armor to me.

I can't let the soldiers wear the clothes of the common people, right? "

"Uh……"

Jia Yu's move caught Emperor Changping off guard.

He was stunned for a while before gritting his teeth and said: "Even if the Ministry of War doesn't issue you armor, wouldn't you make some mandarin duck war robes yourself? Why do you want to be creative and make something similar to the Xiyi people?"

"Because it's cheap!"

Jia Yu's answer still made Emperor Changping so angry that he almost vomited blood, "I will give you a calculation. Please listen and see if it makes sense.

An ordinary set of armor for soldiers costs six or seventy taels of silver. For generals, it costs even more, ranging from hundreds of taels to even thousands of taels. Where can I get the money to replace all the soldiers with armor?

But the military uniforms made by Chen himself are different. A complete set only costs five taels of silver.

In view of this, why did I leave the cheap things and buy the expensive ones instead?

And don't underestimate the military uniforms of the Xiyi people. At least their clothes are easy to wear, and the most important thing is that they save fabric. "

Looking at Jia Yu talking casually, Emperor Changping felt a little numb.

Although I had known that this kid would quibble, I didn't expect that there was someone quite powerful here, so he was speechless.He sighed helplessly, pointed at him and said: "You... really don't let me worry.

These days, I have been running out of food and clothing, worrying a lot, but someone still gives me trouble, you! "

Jia Yu looked at Emperor Changping who seemed to have aged a lot after not seeing him for a few days, and his lips twitched, but he swallowed the words when he reached his lips.

He knew that no matter how many comforting words he said, it would not be as good as doing something practical to make people happy.

He thought for a while, "Your Majesty, I know that with the Mongolian Tatars knocking on the pass and the Eastern captives besieging Shenyang these days, people in the Shenjing City are now in panic.

If a minister has a side, he can not only inspire the people in the capital, but also face the slander of ministers who are full of food and have nothing to do all day long. "

"Yeah... tell me!"

Emperor Changping did not expect that this boy could come up with an idea, and his curiosity was aroused for a moment.

"The solution is very simple, hold a military parade! A military parade that everyone in Shenjing can watch!" Jia Yu said without thinking.

"parade!"

This was the first time Emperor Changping heard this term, but well... The essence of Chinese writing is that even if you are hearing this term for the first time, you can still understand the word through its literal meaning.

"Yes... it's a military parade, which is similar to watching troops and giving a military lecture."

Hearing this, Emperor Changping couldn't help but glare at this bastard. He just watched the troops, but this guy came up with an ingenious word for military parade.

However, he thought about it again and found that this word was quite appropriate. It was closer than observing soldiers or giving lectures on martial arts.

Yue... means review. Soldiers are soldiers. Reviewing soldiers is much easier to understand.

Emperor Changping still knew about military parades.

China has had a tradition of military parades since ancient times, which can be traced back to the famous "Mengjin Military Parade" in 1048 BC.

King Wu of Zhou summoned the princes to hold a military parade in Mengjin. At that time, eight hundred princes participated in the parade.

At the meeting, King Wu of Zhou took an oath, which was known as the "Oath of Mengjin" in history.

Emperor Changping was naturally no stranger to military parades. There had been several military parades since the founding of the Xia Dynasty, but most of the military parades at that time were only attended by the emperor and a group of civil and military officials.

Now Jia Yu has proposed that all people in Shenjing should participate, which is a bit interesting.

Emperor Changping hesitated for a moment, "Is this possible?"

"That's great!"

No one knows better than Jia Yu how much a grand military parade can do to boost national confidence.

Don’t you see that in the later generations where Jia Yu lived, whether it was China, Western powers or even powerful countries such as Mao Zedong, they would parade their troops at every turn.

Where does the so-called come from?Isn't it just to show off your strength and muscles to the world?
The purpose is to appease the people internally and improve the self-confidence and pride of the people. Externally, it is to warn those countries with evil intentions. If you see my fist as big as a casserole, be careful I will beat you.

"Your Majesty... At this time when people are in panic, there is no extraordinarily grand military parade that can better demonstrate the determination of the imperial court.

Don’t the Mongols and Jiannu want to go south? This is how we tell them.

If you want to fight, no problem, we Daxia will accompany you to the end!

We in Daxia have hundreds of millions of people, and we can afford it... Once a fight breaks out, the ones who should be worried are the Donglu and the Mongols. "
