Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 287 Whoever has more temples wins
Jiangbei Camp is located in Zhenjiang Prefecture, Jinling Province. It is the most important military training place for the imperial court in the south.

The reason why the imperial court chose to train troops here is because Zhenjiang has been a place where strong troops have been sent out since ancient times.

Zhenjiang Prefecture is also the Danyang County in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Danyang soldiers were synonymous with strong armies in the Han Dynasty and were known to be good at fighting.

"Three Kingdoms·Wu Shu" contains: Danyang Mountain is dangerous, the people are fruitful, good at martial arts, and a place with noble strength and elite soldiers.

When Li Ling attacked the Xiongnu during the Western Han Dynasty, he used [-] Danyang infantry to fight against the [-] Xiongnu elite cavalry.

Although reinforcements were not available, they fought tooth and nail. In the end, although only 400 people were left to retreat to the pass, the Xiongnu Chanyu, who was almost killed, retreated in fear. This shows how good the Danyang soldiers were in fighting.

In the largest military training ground in Jiangbei Camp, Jia Qiong stood on the military parade platform wearing golden armor, observing the sergeants training below.

Before leaving the capital, Emperor Longqing awarded Jia Qiong the title of General Anton of the second rank, and was given golden armor for protection. This was a treatment that was generally reserved for first-rank generals.

Xu Shan stood nearby, waving the flag in his hand.

The [-] soldiers under the stage were divided into five large square formations. Under the command of Ling Qi, they were constantly changing their formations. They moved quickly and without any mistakes. It was obvious at a glance that they were well-trained.

As early as a year ago, Jia Qiong arranged for Feng Ziying and Liu Xianglian to train in the Jiangbei camp. Now they each command [-] new troops.

The last 1 people were led by Zhang Hongqing, who had emerged in the Battle of Lianshui Ferry last year.

Xu Shan came to Jiangbei Camp in advance in November last year. These 3 people were carefully selected by him from the [-] new troops.

These people are all strong and brave men, and have undergone rigorous training, and their weapons and equipment are also equipped according to those of the Beijing camp.

Although he has not yet been tempered on the battlefield, he has already begun to develop the temperament of a strong soldier.

"Report..."

A messenger ran to the military parade, knelt down on one knee and saluted, and said: "General, Ningbo Navy has joined the army to see Tan Xun outside the camp."

"Invite him to the big tent to speak."

"promise."

The ordering soldiers took the order and left. Jia Qiong said to Xu Shan: "The fleet should be ready. Cousin, order the battalions to get ready and prepare to set off."

"Yes."

Early the next morning, [-] new troops marched out of the camp.

They boarded temporarily mobilized water boats in batches from Xijin Ferry, sailed down the Yangtze River, and arrived at the military port near the estuary of the Yangtze River seven days later.

Here, more than 180 warships of the Ningbo Navy and the Dengying Navy, more than [-] various types of ships, grain ships, horse ships, and three guide ships sent by the Japanese and Southern Dynasties to assist were ready to go.

The [-] new troops brought by Jia Qiong will rest here for two days, and then transfer to sea ships to Japan.

On the pier, Ningbo Navy Admiral Yu Wannian and two generals, as well as Nanmudu Village, the envoy of the Eastern and Southern Dynasties, came to greet them.

After Jia Qiong and Xu Shan saw it, they quickly got off the boat.

Jia Qiong took the lead and said: "Jia Qiong is a junior, how dare I bother the boss to come and greet me personally."

Xu Wannian smiled and said: "Master Jia is the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army. The Ningbo Navy must cooperate with the action, so I should naturally welcome him personally."

When Xu Shan met his grandfather-in-law, he naturally did not dare to neglect him. When the two of them finished talking, he stepped forward and bowed and said, "My son-in-law pays homage to my grandfather."

Yu Wannian nodded, pointed at the two generals behind him and said, "Let me introduce them to you.

This is Dengying Navy Staff General Qi Xiang, and this is Ningbo Navy Staff General Liao Yongan.

They are all veteran generals in the army, brave and experienced.

The two men each led five thousand naval troops and were at the disposal of General Anton. "

Qi Xiang and Liao Yong'an said in unison: "The last general Qi Xiang (Liao Yong'an), please see General Anton." The two were about to salute, but Jia Qiong hurriedly reached out to support them and said: "The two generals are exempt from the ceremony.

Jia has just taken over the military power and lacks experience. Both of them are veteran generals in the army. I hope you can help me find my shortcomings and help me. "

Jia Qiong held the arms of the two of them one by one, preventing them from bowing down. This hand shocked the two of them.

They are both men of extraordinary courage. Although they did not use any deliberate force in this bow, Jia Qiong not only quickly approached from five steps away, but he was also able to hold both of them firmly at the same time.

This is not something ordinary people can do. I think Jia Qiong's martial arts must be extraordinary.

They have all heard about Jia Qiong's various deeds, but before they thought that Jia Qiong was extraordinary in literary talent, they never thought that his martial arts would be so outstanding.

The two looked at each other, put away their contempt, and said respectfully: "I am willing to serve the general with all my hard work."

When Yu Wannian saw this, he smiled and said: "I often hear Xu Shan say that Mr. Jia is a general and a tiger who practices martial arts diligently every day.

I didn't believe it at first, but now that I saw him, I realized that what he said was true. Mr. Jia is indeed very skilled. "

Jia Qiong smiled and said: "The ancestors of the Jia family were originally established in martial arts, so naturally I can't forget my roots.

But I'm only proficient in martial arts, it's really nothing. "

Yu Wannian smiled and said: "Master Jia is too humble. I have led the army for many years, so I still have this bit of vision.

I have prepared a banquet in the camp to welcome Mr. Jia and invite him inside. "

"My lord, please go first."

At the banquet, Jia Qiong had a good chat with Qi Xiang and Liao Yongan, and they also discussed each other, and initially established trust.

In fact, these two men were generals appointed by Jia Qiong himself. With his connections in the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, it was not difficult to mobilize two middle-level generals.

The names of these two people, Jia Qiong, are both impressive, and they are both generals who have performed well in the original history.

Especially Qi Xiang, among his descendants was a national hero-Qi Jiguang.

This time the troops were sent to Japan for an expedition, and Japan was an island country, so the navy was particularly important and directly related to the outcome of the war.

That's why Jia Qiong specially transferred two military generals who have left their names in history to help him.

After the banquet, Jia Qiong, Xu Shan and Yu Wannian talked alone in the camp.

Jia Qiong spread out a map of Japan and told Yu Wannian his battle plan in detail.

Then he asked: "Sir, do you think there are any omissions in my plan?"

Yu Wannian stared at the map for a while, then nodded and said: "This battle plan is very complete, and I can't find any faults.

Yujing is truly worthy of being the queen of generals, with the abilities of Han Xin. "

Jia Qiong waved his hand and said: "Sir, you are ridiculous. I just know that the one with more temples wins, so I try to make a more thorough plan."

After talking about the expedition to Japan, Jia Qiong continued: "The situation in the southwest is unstable. Governor Sima has written to resign many times. The emperor has already planned to transfer Mr. Yang Ge out of the southwest.

The position of Minister of War is of great importance and must not be occupied by mediocrity.

Mr. Lao was originally a Jinshi. He once served as the Minister of the Ministry of War and commanded the army for many years. He has worked hard and achieved great results. It is most suitable to be the Minister of the Ministry of War.

I made some arrangements when I left the capital. If the post of Minister of War becomes vacant, someone in the court will recommend the boss. "

Yu Wannian solemnly raised his hands and said, "Thank you so much to Yu Jing."

"You're welcome, sir. You are my cousin and my grandfather-in-law. We don't have to speak the same language as our family."
