Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 965 Shangguo mentality (seeking monthly ticket)
Although the weather was relatively cold, Jia Rong and the Jia clan in the capital still lived comfortably on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

In particular, when Jia Rong saw in the ancestral hall that the light group representing the luck of the family had a better atmosphere, she felt even better.

During the banquet, seeing the young and strong clansmen with official status, they knew that the Jia clan in the capital was on the right path to rise.

I believe that soon, the Jia family in the capital city will once again become the core top-ranking noble family in the entire empire.

The boss of the Rong Mansion who also attended the banquet did not feel this way at all.

The old lady even felt that there were fewer people during the Chinese New Year than in previous years, which made her feel not very good.

Jia Rong was a little bit dumbfounded. Many clan members who had official status still insisted on their posts. We can't force them to return to Beijing, right?
Just to make the old lady feel better?
If the news leaked out, the clansmen might rebel on the spot.

It can be seen from the expressions of the people in the Rong Mansion, except for Lian Er and Jia Zhu who were slightly embarrassed, the rest of the Rong Mansion bosses looked calm, obviously agreeing with the old lady's thoughts.

Gee!
Do you think that now is the heyday of Rongfu, and the whole clan will revolve around Rongfu?
Even in Rong Mansion's heyday, Jia Daishan, the second generation of Rong Guo Gong, would not dare to be so arrogant and domineering to his clansmen.

Some people are happy and others are naturally worried. The mood of the cabinet bosses today is definitely not very good.

The New Year's Eve is not going well, so we urgently discuss how to deal with it when we leave the border.

In addition to hard resistance, there is no other way for the time being.

After all, it was so cold that it was impossible to send a large army to support it.

Of course, the combat power of the frontier army is still trustworthy, but I just hope that the frontier army will not be too careless, and it will be fine when the weather warms up.

Fortunately, the cold and snow disasters of years ago have passed, otherwise, under the attack from inside and outside, even the imperial court would have to be in a hurry for a while.

Time passed slowly, and the first month came out in a blink of an eye.

Because of the frontier war, the festive atmosphere in the capital was not warm enough.

It is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Although it has made a gesture of having fun with the people today, it has not been called the Lantern Festival.

Ordinary people, as well as the children of the rich and powerful who have nothing to do with themselves, are enjoying themselves.

It's just that the weather is quite cold. Obviously, the aftermath of the severe cold weather a year ago is still there.

After the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the entire capital returned to its normal rhythm.

At this time, the people in the capital finally had the thought and energy to talk about the frontier war that suddenly broke out years ago.

No matter who said it, the tone was full of disdain and disapproval.

The Central Empire, full of arrogance from the Heavenly Empire, did not pay attention to the Huqi outside the Great Wall at all, thinking that the frontier army would definitely win, but it was only a matter of time.

After working hard for peace for a hundred years, the accumulated popularity is still considerable.

According to the latest battle report Jia Rong received, the frontier troops did indeed hold their positions and inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy.

Even, the news from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion showed that the generals of the frontier army had already begun to plan a counterattack.

At this time, the specific reasons for the frontier war have been thoroughly clarified.

As Jia Rong guessed, no matter whether it is outside the Northeast Great Wall or the Northwest Great Wall, a long period of severe cold weather suddenly appeared at the end of last year.

The capital was unprepared, and there were hundreds of casualties, not to mention the drought in the land outside the Great Wall. The environment was much worse than the capital, and the facilities were rudimentary.

It has been heard that hundreds of thousands of cattle, horses and sheep were frozen to death alone!

The cold disaster was followed by the snow disaster, and many tents used by herdsmen collapsed directly. In that environment, there was only one dead end.

There are quite a few small tribes that have never heard from them since then, and I shudder to think about them.

The tribes outside the Northeast and Northwest Great Wall suffered heavy losses. Without the support of foreign supplies, the entire tribe would suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, they coincidentally launched a crazy offensive directly in the winter when it was not suitable for sending troops.

Anyway, it is death, it is better to die on the road of looting.

The frontier troops of the two places were indeed caught off guard. Except for the important frontier fortress towns, all the other small outposts of the frontier troops fell, and many gathering places of large groups of people were also destroyed.

The loss of personnel alone exceeded [-]. The specific figure has not yet been calculated, and it is estimated that it will not be calculated.

As for the loss of grain, grass, and ordnance, if it is converted into silver, there are millions of taels.

The silver is not the key, but the lost population.

The population of the frontier is sparse. If the people there encounter too many wars, it is estimated that the people in the frontier will be lost quickly.

If such a situation really happens, there will be no peace in the frontier fortress!
Of course, this is something to say later, the most important thing right now is to defeat the invading enemy, and it is best to be able to hit a wave hard.

What the imperial court should really worry about is that the frontier army cannot give a huge deterrent to the invading enemy, and cannot let the tribes outside the Great Wall taste the sweetness without paying a heavy price.

All fools know that if such a situation really happens, it will be a lot of fun.

Although Jia Rong is the core leader of the Founding Group and the head of the four major families in Jinling, it is not easy to rashly intervene in the frontier war at the moment.

During several private gatherings before the [-]th day of the first lunar month, several bigwigs from the founding Xungui Group revealed some ideas.

They want to take the opportunity to push the children and clansmen in the army, this is a rare opportunity.

As for the possible danger of going to the battlefield, it is out of consideration.

If you want to have a bright future, how can it be possible without paying the price?

Besides, in the two frontier fortress wars, both of them had a clear advantage in terms of major cadres. If they could lose their lives under such circumstances, they can only blame themselves for their bad lives.

Naturally, Jia Rong was not polite, and directly expressed her thoughts.

The Jia family has trained many middle and low-level officers, and he also wants to take the opportunity to send them to the frontier army to practice.

No matter what, it's an opportunity, and it's best to take the lead.

Everyone hit it off, and when the current Hehe cabinet made a decision, the founding honor group was already ready, and there was no need for officials to intervene in personnel transfers.

Even Taizong Yixun's team has made adjustments and appointments in private.

This is the important role that the Five Army Commander's Mansion and the Ministry of War can play in the hands of Xungui.

Once the military department is under the control of the civilian group, it would be foolish to think about making arrangements in such a quiet and private manner in the future.

Perhaps, the emperor may also be quite afraid, just let the civil servants intervene, and the damage to the large army will not be ordinary.

You know, the Ministry of War has firmly controlled the selection power of the military's middle-level military attaches.

At least right now, Jia Rong still can't see that the founding of the Xungui Group shows signs of being bankrupt. Even with today's full support, Jia Yucun and his ilk don't want to be big Sima.

After sending people to the frontier army in batches, the first month has passed.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and the people in the capital are all relieved, at least they don't have to stay in the house all day to keep warm.

The capital, which was a bit deserted on the streets, has gradually returned to its former hustle and bustle.

The water transportation that had some problems before has completely resumed normal operation.

With the arrival of a large number of materials from the south of the Yangtze River, prices in the capital dropped rapidly and returned to a normal situation.

Of course, anyone who is interested has a relatively full understanding of the short-sea transportation at Jinmen Port.

At critical moments, offshore transportation can replace part of the water transportation function.

However, in order to completely replace water transport, the offshore fleet currently operating in Jinmen Port is obviously not enough.

If it were in the past, the Cao Gang, which felt that its interests were threatened, would definitely have become agitated long ago.

Not to mention that the offshore transportation business of Jinmen Port must be destroyed, at least the initiative must be firmly in hand.

It's a pity that the Cao Gang just suffered a heavy blow last year. This time is due to the transition period of the alliance state. How can the internal chaos care about this?
Besides, the Jinmen sub-rudder has long been destroyed. At this time, the sub-rudders who stand on their own hills will naturally not cultivate competitors for themselves.

In fact, the short-sea transportation at Jinmen Port has not had as great an impact on water transportation as imagined.

Water transportation has formed a considerable industrial chain, and the required materials have been purchased through cooperation channels for many years. As long as the water transportation itself has no problems, such channels can be said to be quite stable.

The offshore fleet headed by the four major families in Jinling did not occupy the share of water transportation in the southern specialties that can be purchased in the direction of Jinling, as well as food and other materials.

Compared with the stable and huge industrial chain of the Cao Gang, the offshore fleet is much worse, and there is no comparison at all at this time.

The aristocratic families who have mastered most of the resources in the south will not easily let the offshore fleet led by the four major Jinling families develop too rapidly.

The family and the Cao Gang have been in an alliance of interests for many years, and it is not easy to pry the corner.

The fact is that fucking!

Under such circumstances, it is really nonsense to talk about the threat of offshore transportation to water transportation, but it is just exaggerating the opposition.

Those who may be really affected are probably the grassroots members of the Cao Gang.

The existence of Jinmen Port has given them more opportunities.

It's a pity that the jealous dignitaries are all the generation to sit back and enjoy what they get, and they have no pioneering spirit at all.

Otherwise, several places in the north that are suitable for opening ports should have already started recruiting a large number of manpower to prepare for the construction of new seaports.

In Ludi alone, there are many places suitable for opening up ports, and there are also several places in the Lianghuai area, but it's a pity that they are still deserted at this time.

As for when the construction will start, it is estimated that we have to wait for the four major families in Jinling to free up their hands. This situation is really speechless.

At least, Jia Rong was very upset.

He doesn't care much about the huge benefits of the new port, but hopes that the national luck of Daqian can rise rapidly, and as a top dignitary, he can share more blessings of luck.

As for the use of getting so much luck?
He had a faint feeling that if his luck could reach a certain level, it could even affect the core control authority of this world.

As for whether this is the case, don't you know if you try it?
Gossip aside, at this time, Jia Rong, as in the past, sits in the ethnology department and acts as a strict teaching director.

With the beginning of the new semester, a lot of noble children have arrived in the ethnology.

These guys may have been favored when they were at home, and their behavior is quite domineering. If Jia Rong didn't sit in charge in person, the teachers in the school might not be able to suppress them.

It has to be said that in terms of educating future generations, civil officials are much better than noble military generals.

The so-called scholarly family is not just a nice thing to say, it means that there is a relatively complete internal education system.

Anyone with a little bit of talent can basically become a talent under such an education system.

The Xungui military general family is far behind. They have their own rough military general inheritance, and they want to transform into the ranks of civil servants after a while.

In addition, the marriages are all from the honorable family, the three views and thinking are compatible, but it is really exaggerated to have children.

Otherwise, where are there so many plastered hakamas on the street?

Before, because Jia's clan studies were not well-known, although the rest of the founding noble families knew about it, they didn't pay much attention to it.

They just sent the concubine's children who were not valued at home, and they didn't think that they could really become talents, but just let them come to make connections.

Who knew that Jia's family studies were really good, and he forcibly trained many unappreciated children from honorable families.

Although there are not many who can be admitted as Tongsheng scholar, they have made great achievements in martial arts. Either they are admitted to Wutongsheng or they are martial arts scholars.

At this point, even if the student's family does not want to arrange it for some reason, the ethnology will not give up easily.

Most of the students who have achieved fame in martial arts entered the army after graduation.

As a result, the fame of ethnology is getting bigger and bigger, and the direct descendants of the founder of the Xungui family are also quite excited.

Although they have the quota to directly enter the Imperial College to study, they also have the qualifications to be officials directly, but whether they have fame or not is another matter.

The most important thing is that the future of the descendant of the direct lineage cannot be as good as that of the concubine. No noble family can afford to lose this person.

That is to say, since last year, there have gradually been descendants of the founding noble families who have entered the ethnology school.

Ahem, I have to say that these guys are really difficult to manage.

One by one is used to being bullies at home, and it is simply impossible for them to accept strict management at the ethnology side.

They are in the Imperial College, where the gentlemen are all of high grade, and they have made great achievements in the imperial examination, and they have no way and courage to discipline the noble children severely, let alone the gentlemen in the ethnology.

Just because the servants around him couldn't follow them into the school to serve, there was a lot of trouble.

Even the mistress of the family behind that kid came to ask Jia Rongxing to give their family's direct descendants certain privileges in ethnology.

Jia Rong categorically refused, and threatened to send their children out of ethnology, so she reluctantly suppressed the matter.

Speaking of this, he was quite angry.

It's not aimed at students who have a bad personality and already have dandy habits, but that the Xifu next door is a good person here, and through Qin Keqing, they want to persuade Jia Rong not to be so rigid and ignorant.

It was only later that I found out that some parents of the students approached the old lady for help.

I don't know what benefits it promises...
