The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 233 Bullying Children for Play

The next day, Jia Min took Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan to the Ministry of War to go through various procedures.

Relocation is not an easy task.Submitting the roster of officers and soldiers, registering and filing, conferring official ranks and grades on officers, handling military customs and defense documents, and receiving various supplies such as salaries, grain, ordnance, are very troublesome things.

After these are done, the Ministry of War has to send people to Yeduju to check the number of people according to the roster.To prevent false claims.

Nowadays, in many guards and even in the regular army, there is a phenomenon of falsely reporting the number of posts and paying for empty pay.This also gave the Ministry of War a headache.

The military establishment of the Dade Dynasty is generally fixed.

However, for Jia Min's army regiment, the Ministry of War seems to be very tolerant.Although it has been formally incorporated, but in terms of specific establishment, it has not been mentioned at all.

Except for checking the number of people, Jia Min did not intervene in matters such as regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, and squads that had never existed before, and the number of officers reported by Jia Min. He only asked about it and said nothing.

As for the appointment and rank of officers, they were also routinely asked according to the number of people under their jurisdiction. Seeing that there were no major problems, they all registered according to Jia Min's declaration materials, which was considered approved.

Things went so smoothly that Jia Min, Feng Ziying and others even wondered if they came from a fake military department.

After the things that required Jia Min to come forward and sign and draw a deposit were completed, Chen Yejun and the people from the Ministry of War went to Yeduju to check the number of people, and Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan were left to handle other specific matters.

Thinking that he was leaving, he would not come to the Ministry of War again if he had nothing to do.Jia Min wanted to say hello to Li Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

No matter what, Li Yuan is the chief examiner of the current martial arts exam, and he can be regarded as his own teacher. It is also a student's due intention to say goodbye to him before leaving.

After finding Li Yuan's office, he heard a quarrel inside.

Jia Min felt that it was not the right time to come, so he wanted to retreat and come back later.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan called him in the room.Jia Min had no choice but to go in.

Seeing Jia Min coming, the two stopped arguing for the time being.However, the person who quarreled with Li Yuan didn't leave, and just sat there.

Li Yuan introduced it, and it turned out that this person was Jiang Shilang from the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"Jiang Shilang, you go to drink tea next door. My student is here and wants to tell me something."

Li Yuan obviously wanted to drive this Jiang Shilang out.

"You just talk about what you say, and I don't interrupt. Why do you have to drive me away. I left, and you took the opportunity to slip away. When you come back later, who am I going to find?"

This Jiang Shilang spoke very aggressively, and seemed to be full of anger.

Jia Min said some polite words to Li Yuan, Li Yuan encouraged him a few words, and Jia Min was about to quit.

"Little brother, please wait."

Jiang Shilang stopped Jia Min.

"What advice does Jiang Shilang have?"

"But Jia Min and Jia Huaiyuan from the Rongguo Mansion? Jin Kewu Tanhua, a business genius, a poetry genius? A military genius who single-handedly killed more than a dozen Wulongshan bandits all the way, and led the Army Corps at the age of 15, the phrase 'Don't be infatuated with brother, Brother is just the original creator of 'Legend', isn't it you?"

what happened?Am I so famous now?Any servant of the Ministry of Justice who meets me is a fan of mine?
Seeing Jiang Shilang's excited eyes, Jia Min felt something was wrong.

He had a feeling of being targeted and calculated again.

"It's all rumored by outsiders, I really dare not accept it."

"It's done."

Jiang Shilang slapped the table and almost jumped up. ,

What happened?Could it be related to me?

"Li Shangshu, you said there is no one, isn't this a ready-made person? Anyway, he is going to Ninggu Pagoda, so why don't you just bring my people along?"

who?Tell me to take it, where to take it?
"He is going to Ningguta, which is more than 1000 miles away from Bukui. How can I bring it to you?"

"Don't you want to go to Bu Kui? Just now Cheng Shilang said that no one wants to go to Bu Kui's place, and Huaiyuan will go there soon. In Ningguta's place, there are not many more of him, and one less of him is quite a lot. Huaiyuan He is also a military genius, and when he gets there, he will definitely show his ambitions."

As soon as Jia Min heard this, he wished he could immediately drag Jiang Shilang out and beat him up.

You bastard, we just met for the first time today. I have no grudges with you in the past, and I have no grudges in recent days. Why do you want to kill me?

It turns out that Jiang Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the exile of criminals.That is, it is responsible for sending the convicted criminals to various places to serve their sentences.

The criminals who were exiled in Ninggu Tower, Qiongya, Western Regions and military platforms in various places were all sent by him.

The imperial court sentencing criminals is usually held in autumn, which is called the autumn judgment, which takes the spirit of killing in autumn.

This autumn, more than 500 criminals from Shuntianfu and Zhili will be exiled to Ningguta.

It was said that they went to Ningguta, but in fact Ningguta was unable to accept it locally, so they were exiled to Bukui, which is further north than Ningguta.

Escorting criminals is generally the responsibility of local governments.However, due to the time-consuming and huge cost, the governments all over the country are miserable.

Therefore, sometimes the criminals are gathered together and escorted by the army.

Now the prisons in Shuntian Mansion and Zhili are overcrowded, but the Ministry of War has no mission to send troops to Bu Kui for a while, and it is almost the end of the new year, so whoever is sent there cannot spend the New Year at home.No one wants to go either.

At this time, it was freezing cold along the way, and it was inconvenient to walk, and everyone regarded it as a treacherous way.

It was the end of the year again, and funds were tight, so the escorting of these prisoners was delayed.

Jiang Shilang has come to the Ministry of War many times, just to negotiate this matter.Just now I had an argument with Li Yuan about this matter.

Now that I heard that Jia Min is going to Ninggu Pagoda, Jia Min is on the hook.

Although Bukui is also a place of exile under the jurisdiction of Ningguta, its history is much shorter than that of Ningguta.It was because the criminals in Ninguta were often overcrowded that a new penal colony was opened there.

It was colder and more desolate there, and most of the prisoners exiled there were serious crimes.Most of them are vicious desperadoes.Even when they got there, they often ran away and even killed the guards.

The previous guard, Bu Kui, was killed by a prisoner riot.

These are not all problems, there are threats from the outside.

External threats can be divided into two parts.

One is the Cossack cavalry of the Ross Empire, who have often entered the country to harass in recent years. After entering, they burned, killed and looted everywhere, and gradually eroded the land of the Dade Dynasty in the extreme north.

The second is the local fishing and hunting tribes, which are all uncivilized tribes. Although they seem to be under the rule of the imperial court, they are rebellious and impermanent to the imperial court because of the high mountains and the emperor's distance.

When the imperial army came under pressure, he surrendered.As soon as the army withdrew, they rebelled again.

Over the past few decades, five Bukui guards have died at the hands of these tribes.As for some junior officers and soldiers, there were countless casualties.

Therefore, Bu Kui's defense has always been a fear in the officialdom.It is often those who have the least background in the army, or those who have been punished, who are sent there.

What's more, in order to avoid serving in Bu Kui's place, some officers even went so far as to injure themselves, just to get out of there.

Many times, not only the prisoners there escaped, but also the guarding soldiers wanted to escape.

Prisoners are exiled there. In fact, soldiers and officers are also exiled there.

Therefore, there is a popular saying in officialdom: "Bukui road, no return road".It means that when you arrive in Bukui, you will not be able to return.Both the military and civilian officials regard Bu Kui as the official grave.

Last night, Jia Min had a long talk with Dai Zhi all night long, and learned about Bu Kui's situation.Now that he heard that Jiang Shilang was going to tell him to go there, he was naturally nervous.

"Huaiyuan is the successor of Rong Guogong, and his subordinates are all descendants of noble families. They are all descendants of famous generals. It can be said that there are many talents and warriors like a cloud. Huaiyuan himself has an incomparable talent. It is even more popular and has been widely recited for a while. It only took eleven punches to kill Ma Shangde, who was the most popular champion."

"In the palace examination, the thesis on reforming the land and returning to the locals made the veterans feel ashamed. Such a man with both civil and military skills is actually No. 1 in my court. If Huaiyuan arrives in Bukui, he will be so famous, Xiaoxiao timid, and all directions If you come to serve, you will surely make immortal achievements, it is really a blessing to my dynasty, and a blessing to all the people in the world."

This Jiang Shilang, in order to push out the difficult job in his hands, did not hesitate to flatter Jia Min, and buckled Jia Min one after another with high hats.

Especially when he mentioned the poem "Wing Fist" written by Jia Min in the arena, Jia Min regretted it even more.

I said straight in my heart: Sure enough, there is a price to be paid for pretending to be coercive.He was found so quickly.

"Bu Kui has been unstable for so many years because your military department has improperly employed personnel. If you send Huaiyuan there, you will definitely wipe out the bandits and calm down the situation soon."

"It's done. Huaiyuan's high-ranking officials are expected to earn a lot of money. Li Shangshu also knows heroes with his eyes and knows how to use them well. Even if it fails, Huaiyuan is still young, and there is still a chance to make a comeback. It's already rotten to the bone. If it rots again, there will be no one." will say anything."

You old bastard, what a bad idea what happened.

What can't be said, there is still a chance to make a comeback.You're dead there, and you're making another fart?

It's really a good thing, I broke my head and rushed to go, and it's my turn?

It's purely bad intentions, I'm only 15 years old, you two old guys, you can't do such wicked things.

"Li Yuan, let me tell you. Although the two of us are Jinshi of the same discipline, this time, don't blame me for not thinking of the same discipline. If I, the 500 prisoners, cannot be sent away in the first month of next year, I will definitely go to the emperor I will play a book for you there, so don’t say it’s unexpected.”

"This, Brother Jiang, please be safe and don't be impatient, let me think about it."

Seeing that Li Yuan hesitated, Jia Min felt that something was wrong.

"The two adults chatted slowly, and the students left first."

"Don't go to Huaiyuan, it's already noon. I'm going to a high mountain and a long way to go. I'll invite you to drink for my teacher, and I will see you farewell."

How can you be so kind when you buy me a drink?There is no good wine for wine, and there is no good banquet for banquets. They must coax me into the game and arrest me as a dead ghost.

In the mansion, when encountering such tricky things as public transportation and horse-drawn carriages and military training, the ancestors caught me as a scapegoat.Now that this happens, you want to arrest me as a scapegoat again.

Why are the adults in this world like this? They know how to bully children all day long.
