Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 174 Arrangement
In the afternoon, nearly 700 strong soldiers escorted a group of carriages to the capital. The reason why it took so long was because the speed of the carriages affected the journey.

The Jiahou Mansion became lively. Feicui led people to unload the goods from the carriage and counted them one by one and put them in the warehouse.

"So many things!" Lin Daiyu followed Jadeite. This was the learning content arranged by Jia Min. She couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the batches of goods.

Housekeeping needs to learn, especially for her own home in the future.

"Sister Lin, this is the gift I brought back. It's up to you to distribute it!" Of course Jia Qiang supported Lin Daiyu's study of housekeeping. He handed the prepared gift to Lin Daiyu and said.

There are mainly several kinds of gifts, including some expensive leathers, jewelry, precious spices, etc.

Lin Daiyu now had something to do. She brought all the gifts back to Tianxiang Pavilion.

Jia Qiang also accompanied her, smiling at how she distributed the items.

There were a lot of gifts, so he prepared some more according to the number of people.

"This is for Sister Yun, this is for Sister Zhu, this is for Miaoyu..." Lin Daiyu is not stingy at all. She will allocate what she thinks is suitable for someone according to her own feelings.

So after receiving Jia Qiang's invitation, Leng Shangshu regarded it as a big deal. Jia Qiang was young enough. Once he became an ally, he would be enough to protect Leng Jian for a lifetime.

The carriage arrived at Jinyu Alley, but instead of going home here, it went to the Leng Mansion in Jinyu Alley.

The speed at which Jia Qiang was promoted was even more jaw-dropping to insiders.

After a while, the gifts were distributed.

He didn't have Leng Jian until he was nearly thirty, and Leng Jian was the hope of the Leng family.

"I'd like to welcome Mr. Leng!" Jia Qiang didn't mean to correct the other person's title, he replied with a smile.

He was sitting in a carriage, followed by a carriage. On the carriage were some Northeastern specialties brought back from Ji Town this time.

"This is enough for me!" Lin Daiyu smiled and took out the white jade hairpin and replied proudly.

Although Leng Shangshu sits in a high position, he also has to think about his descendants.

A sixteen-year-old first-grade military attache, even if this first-grade official position is a temporary official position, it is something that has never happened in the history of Daqian.

The reason why he did not visit on the same day was because it was a very formal visit and he sent a greeting card that day.

Leng Shangshu knew much more about what Jia Qiang did than others. Leng Shangshu was in a position where he could know many secret things that outsiders could not know.

Before arriving at the main hall, he saw Leng Bozhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, standing outside the main hall, welcoming Jia Qiang with a smile.

"What?" Leng Shangshu was so shocked that he almost stood up, but he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "No wonder two hundred soldiers can kill 20,000 Tatars!"

His relationship with the Leng family is at the level of knowing, but the other party calls him uncle, which definitely means that he wants to make friends with him.

Leng Jian also practiced the art of general body refining, but he could no longer improve it after only the third turn. This also made Leng Jian unable to lead an army alone. In terms of military skills, Leng Jian's level was equally average.

And this is not the meaning of Lord Leng, but the meaning of Leng Bozhong, the head of the Leng family and Minister of War.

Now that Leng Shangshu is still in office, he can still protect Leng Jian, but when he retreats, Leng Jian will have to find allies if he still needs protection.

"Everyone says that Jia Hou is promising at a young age and is the number one young hero of the Great Qian Dynasty. Today he is worthy of his reputation!" Leng Shangshu replied with a smile.

Young Master Leng led Jia Qiang into the house, and the butler sent someone to receive the gifts.

Leng Shangshu had been fighting with the Supreme Emperor for many years. Jia Qiang did not dare to underestimate Leng Shangshu.

Even if the value of this white jade hairpin is not as good as the gifts she is planning to give out, her feelings far exceed these gifts.

Jia Qiang took a look at Leng Shangshu. Leng Shangshu was very old, close to sixty. Although his hair was not completely white, it was almost there.

Therefore, it is rumored that Leng Shangshu will not be in charge of the Ministry of War for long, that is, in two or three years, and he must be promoted.

"Leng Jian has met Uncle Jia. Father is waiting for you in the main hall!" Mr. Leng saw Jia Qiang getting off the carriage, went over to greet her, bowed and said.

She remembered that Jia Qiang rushed back to the capital to take the exam without any luggage, but she still brought her gift.

"To be honest, I am very worried about today's young generals in Daqian. The younger generation cannot endure the hardships of practicing the body-refining skills of generals. Now even the fifth-level warriors are like phoenix feathers!
But when the younger generation came out of Jiahou, it made me regain my confidence in the younger generation of Daqian! "Leng Shangshu said with emotion.

"Actually, there are many young warriors. For example, the two hundred soldiers who followed me to kill 20,000 Tatars this time are all warriors!" Jia Qiang suddenly broke out a shocking news.

"Master Leng, how dare you act like a master like this!" Jia Qiang stepped forward quickly and said with a smile.

Leng Jian is over thirty years old, but when he calls Uncle Jia Qiang, there is nothing unusual about him.

"Jia Hou showed great power in Jizhen and killed 20,000 Tatars with 200 men. It really increased the power of Daqian!" Leng Shangshu praised with a smile.

"Sister Lin, why didn't you keep it for yourself?" Jia Qiang asked in surprise.

When his carriage arrived in front of the Leng Mansion, Leng Mansion's Young Master Leng was already waiting in front of the door, and the middle door of the Leng Mansion was wide open. It was obvious that the Leng Mansion attached great importance to his visit.

After Jia Qiang stayed at home for a day, he took some gifts and went out.

Due to the practice of the doorkeeper's body refining technique, as he grew older, even if he used big medicine to restore his body, Leng Shangshu's body was still in short supply when he was sixty years old.

Lin Daiyu brought gifts and delivered them to everyone personally.

Jia Qiang and Leng Shangshu entered the main hall together and took their seats respectively.

For example, Jia Qiang came to the rescue twice. Jia Qiang was favored by both Emperor Jingwen and the Supreme Emperor, making Jia Qiang almost invincible in Daqian.

"Compared with Master Leng's generation, my record is nothing!" Jia Qiang said modestly.

Leng Shangshu was also looking at Jia Qiang. To be honest, he was very surprised when Jia Qiang sent him a greeting card.

Yes, Jia Qiang is here to visit Leng Bozhong, Minister of War, who can be regarded as the most powerful man in the army.

If this was what others said, Leng Shangshu would not believe it, but Jia Qiang killed 20,000 Tatars with two hundred soldiers.

The heads of 20,000 Tatars were sent to the Ministry of War, and it was confirmed by the Ministry of War that there was no water in this achievement.

At that time, Leng Shangshu was thinking about how Jia Qiang could kill 20,000 Tatars with two hundred soldiers.

Among the 20,000 Tatars, there are also 10,000 Tatar light cavalry, which are the elite warriors of the Tatar tribe.

"I'm here this time just for these two hundred soldiers. They have made great achievements. It would be an understatement to follow me as a soldier, so I came here to find a future for them!" Jia Qiang bowed. He told the purpose of his visit this time.

As for Jia Qiang, if the two hundred soldiers really want to arrange it, they can arrange it at will. But it can only be arranged in the two guards of Jingying, or in Jizhen.

He thought more and spread the two hundred warriors to various places in Daqian, and helped each other to form a network of relationships.

The two hundred strong generals' personal soldiers are only the first batch. Once they have established a foothold in various places, they can bring the other strong generals' personal soldiers with them.

This is still part of Jia Qiang's plan, and the next step is the most critical part of his plan.

The generals and soldiers join the Daqian army, and they can pass the near-death test in their respective armies to select more qualified sergeants.

Send these sergeants to Jia Qiang, and then Jia Qiang will use the 'Fengyue Baojian' to gain absolute loyalty, and then practice 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique' and 'Yangong Bingshu'.

In this way, he can get more and more loyal generals, and at the same time, his loyal generals will gain a foothold in Daqian.

The first step of this plan is to go to Leng Shangshu.

"With the contribution of two hundred soldiers, it can be arranged. There are not many vacant official positions now. I wonder where Jiahou plans to arrange them?" Leng Shangshu thought for a while, this is not a difficult task. It can be done as a favor. he asked.

"The arrangement will depend on Daqian's needs. If they leave me, everything will be up to them!" Jia Qiang waved her hand and replied.

"That will be easy. When the Ministry of War checks where there are vacancies, I will arrange for them to go there. I can guarantee the position of Qianhu!" Leng Shangshu replied with a smile.

Qian Hu is the fifth rank. Whether this military attache position is small or big, Leng Shangshu can decide with one word.

"Then thank you Master Leng. I know it will cost a lot for Master Leng to do this!" Jia Qiang thanked with a smile.

At the same time, he took out a box, put it on the table, and pushed it next to Leng Shangshu.

"Jiahou, you also met Quanzi just now. I hope Enhou will take more care of him in the future!" Leng Shangshu pushed the box back and said.

"Master Leng is worrying too much. If there is a chance, I will take care of Master Leng!" Jia Qiang pushed the box back and said.

During the back and forth push, the relationship between Jia Qiang and Leng Shangshu became obviously much closer.

"Now there is no Jiedu envoy in the capital. Jiahou is one of the five deputy commanders, but he is also the commander of the nine provinces. Taking advantage of the opportunity in the capital, you still have to go to the capital camp to see it!" Leng Shangshu reminded softly.

"Thanks for the tip!" Jia Qiang nodded.

Jia Qiang, the deputy commander, is extremely irresponsible.

Since he became the deputy commander, he has been in charge of the two guards of his family, and he has not interfered with the rest of the affairs of the Beijing camp.

Leng Shangshu's intention was for him to take this opportunity to deepen his voice in the capital camp.

Of course, Jia Qiang still needs to understand the details herself, and it is impossible for Leng Shangshu to explain it clearly.

After all was said and done, Jia Qiang took the opportunity to say goodbye, and this time Shangshu Leng personally sent him out of the door.

Leng Shangshu sent Jia Qiang away and returned to the main hall. He looked at the box on the table.

Opening the box, I found a stack of banknotes inside.

After counting, he found that there were a hundred thousand taels of silver notes. Even if Leng Shangshu had a lot of power, he couldn't help but be surprised to see one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Although arranging two hundred or at least one thousand officers is an extremely troublesome matter, it must be considered that these two hundred people are strong generals. The strong generals have a very special status in the army, and they can be prioritized if they are taken care of.

"It seems that Jia Hou needs to put more thought into his affairs!" Leng Shangshu murmured to himself.

This is also Jia Qiang's purpose. He has a huge amount of money in his hands. Of course, even if he has money, he cannot give it away casually.

One hundred thousand taels of silver was the most appropriate figure for him. When converted into two hundred soldiers, it was more than 200 taels of silver per person, which was really not much.

In addition, Jia Qiang's relationship with Leng Shangshu was just beginning. Without spending a lot of money, he was worried that Leng Shangshu would not be careful in doing things.

Jia Qiang did not expect that Leng Shangshu would do things so fast. The day after he visited Leng Shangshu, the transfer order for thirty-two powerful generals and soldiers arrived.

Thirty-two people were scattered throughout Daqian, and some of them were sent from Jiubian Army Town.

This is the first batch. As long as there is a vacancy, the remaining warriors and soldiers will be arranged there.

What Jia Qiang didn't know was that by jumping in line, the officers waiting for assignment in Beijing had to wait an extra year or two.

Although the Daqian army has a lot of needs for officers, the investment of two hundred warriors at once is enough for the Daqian army to sustain it for a short time, and it will take some time to digest it.

You must know that those assigned this time are all official positions with more than 1,000 households.

That is to say, Leng Shangshu took action, otherwise no one else would be able to achieve this level.

Jia Qiang arranged for two hundred warriors, half of whom were rank four warriors, and ten rank five warriors.

He selected those who were better at learning the art of war from among his bodyguards, and also let them take away the weapons, armor and horses equipped for them.

Two hundred strong generals have entered the army, and they need to deal with troubles by themselves in the early stage.

When the selected sergeants are sent to Jia Qiang to be trained into new warriors, these first batch of officers will have their own warriors and soldiers. At that time, it will be their opportunity to use their own advantages to make contributions.

Of course, his method of releasing his soldiers will naturally attract some attention.

But so what, although the soldiers have a certain affection for the generals they have followed, it is just a feeling. There are many officers who are soldiers in the Daqian Army.

It is completely impossible to say that relying on this emotion to make an officer who is a soldier do something rebellious.

This feeling will continue to transform into a sweet love over time. At most, for the sake of the sweet love, it will provide help in some things.

But if you want to rely on incense to affect the officer's own future, no officer will do so.

No one would have thought that the two hundred soldiers Jia Qiang sent out were all 100% loyal and would not change in any way with the passage of time.

After Jia Qiang visited Leng Shangshu, in order not to attract too much attention, he then visited Lin Ruhai's relationship in Beijing to deepen the relationship.

Amidst this busyness, the day for Gongyuan to release the results is getting closer and closer.

In the past few days, ten powerful soldiers were transferred out every day, and he found that the proportion in Datong Town was increasing.

Only then did he discover that Datong Town was at war with the main Tatar force. It was likely that they had lost a lot of military attachés there, so they needed so many reinforcements.
