In September of the eighth year of Yuanyou's reign, the capital received several pieces of good news in succession.
First, on the day of Double Ninth Festival, Dengzhou came to report that Shi Jian Fan of Japan formally submitted a letter of surrender to Wang Chenghai, the commander of Jinghai Weidu, and "voluntarily" offered Shi Jian Fan to the Celestial Dynasty.
On September 14th, the Japanese king asked the Celestial Empire for help by sending a secret letter to Wang Chenghai, requesting Daxia to send troops to bring order to the chaos, remove the Japanese king and order the Yamana clan of the vassals.
Later, on September 28, good news came from the Chief Envoy of Cochin.
On the seventh day of July in the eighth year of Yuanyou, General Zhengnan and Marquis Jiashe of Rongguo made a surprise attack and invaded South Vietnam from Siming Mansion in Guangxi. They attacked with the Nanhai Navy who was on the coast of South Vietnam, and once again broke through Thang Long Mansion, the royal city of South Vietnam.
This battle not only annihilated the 80,000 South Vietnamese army, but also captured most of the South Vietnamese monarchs and ministers. The South Vietnamese general Ruan Haocheng wanted to coerce the South Vietnamese king Ruan Qingyun to flee, but he accidentally entered a miasma and was discovered by the Daxia army a few days later.
The royal family of South Vietnam suffered all casualties, and the people had been fighting hard for a long time. Chen Baozheng, a famous scholar in southern Xinjiang, gathered in Thang Long Palace with more than a thousand elders and students from South Vietnam. On behalf of the people of South Vietnam, he submitted a letter of ten thousand words to invite the Emperor of Great Xia, kneeling down to ask for the removal of the feudal vassal, so that the people of South Vietnam could benefit from the emperor's grace.
On the eighth day of July, Jia She held the royal order flag and summoned the kings of Siam, Myanmar, and Laos to Thang Long Palace for discussion. Except for the king of Laos who arrived as scheduled, the other two kings disobeyed the orders of the Celestial Empire and raised their troops to resist.
On the ninth day of the seventh lunar month, Mu En, the Duke of Guizhou and the commander of the Yunnan Weidu, who was in charge of the Mu Palace in Yunnan, led his troops southward and invaded Burma to conquer Buchen.
On the first day of August, the Chinese army crossed the Laos border and invaded Siam. They destroyed Siam in seven days. Then they invaded Burma in lightning, breaking a city in three days.
Under a pincer attack from the north and south, it only took less than ten days. On August 28, the army broke through the royal city of Myanmar. The king burned himself in the palace, and all his princes, nobles and relatives were killed or injured in the rebellion.
Mu En, the Duke of Guizhou, and Jia She, the Marquis of Rong, jointly submitted a memorial requesting that the vassals in southern Xinjiang be eliminated and a state capital be established to govern them.
Laos has asked to be expelled from the country, and its king is willing to take the royal family north to Beijing. Now he is probably floating on the sea.
As for the other three countries, they were all wiped out by the thunder of the Celestial Army. The updated Celestial Firearms played a major role in this battle, and of course it was also inseparable from the joint plan of Jia She and Mu En.
The hundreds of miles of continuous dock fortifications built by South Vietnam south of Thang Long Province were not used at all.
Jia She didn't even take a sea ship to Chongtian Mansion. Instead, he made a feint and led his army southward directly from Guangxi.
When the Nanyue monarchs and ministers of Thang Long Palace discovered that the enemy appeared in the north of the city and tried to mobilize the army stationed in Wubao, the day lily was cold.
The Nanhai Navy had already advanced westward along the river. After landing on land, 30,000 naval athletes turned into tigers and lay between Wubao and Thang Long Palace, holding back the South Vietnamese reinforcements.
The Jiaozhi guards who stayed in Chongtian Mansion had already quietly reached the south side of Wubao, and took advantage of the situation to rush out after three rounds of artillery fire.
Eighty thousand South Vietnamese monkeys were killed by the Chinese army. Marquis Rongguo said that Daxia does not need prisoners!
Mu En's timing of sending troops was discussed with Jia She, and as soon as the two sang in harmony, the king of Burma was labeled as disobedient to the emperor.
Here, Jia She had just accused Burma and Siam, and over there, Prince Mu's Mansion mobilized 30,000 troops to go south the next day...
The emperor couldn't laugh or cry and said: "This method is too crude. At least it's a show. Jia She was just in Shenglong Mansion to accuse the two countries. How could Mu En receive the news so quickly? The next day, he sent troops to accuse the world. The minister has gone."
"It's okay, okay, Mu En and Jia She, two big bosses, can do this, which is already pretty good."
Zhou Jiong, the chief minister of the cabinet, thought for a moment, wrote a line on the victory report, and handed it to the other ministers.
The central boss in the Qinzheng Palace also had a similar expression. Fortunately, Mu Enxiuwen put down the rebellion after Jia She was asked about the crime. Even if it was only a day's difference, it would be enough, and it would be fine on the surface.
Zhou Jiong handed over to the emperor: "I have deleted the matter of killing and surrendering. The soldiers are fighting for the country. There is no need to publicize this trivial matter to save trouble. Your Majesty, I believe that there are three things that need to be done as soon as possible. One is , to reward the army with rewards. Secondly, dispatch officials south to calm the people. Thirdly, dispatch the Fujian and Guangdong naval forces southward to station in southern Xinjiang to prevent the Western Barbarians."
The first two items were easy to deal with. The water diversion division went south to support the Nanhai Navy to defend against the Western Barbarians, which put the emperor in trouble.
The current imperial court is just like the Ministry of Industry. The stalls are too big and an extremely embarrassing scene has occurred: there are insufficient manpower and even fewer warships.
"The cabinet will prepare a report on the reward. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War will dispatch manpower to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible. The Ministry of Industry..."
The emperor looked at Duan Jun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who shook his head with a wry smile, but he still did not urge him: "Oh, forget it, keep the quality and quantity. I don't want to gamble with Da Xia Erlang's life. Let Jinghaiwei and Deng The Prefecture Navy, Fujian Navy, and Guangdong Navy each sent a part to gather 20,000 people to go south to support southern Xinjiang."
"I obey the order."
After the ministers received the decree, Zhou Jiong spoke again: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Jia She, the Marquis of Rongguo, destroyed the three kingdoms in one battle. Although the success of conquering the south was not as great as that of the north, it was still enough to make him a prince. The old minister thought that Rongguo's victory was If the marquis Ke Jin is honored as a duke, he should be ordered to return to the capital to have an audience and receive rewards."
…
At the end of September in Gyeonggi Province, the fallen leaves are in full bloom, and the red maples on both sides of the official road are quite poetic.
Daiyu opened the car curtain and admired the beautiful scenery of frost leaves red with February flowers. Jia Cong beside her put on a red cloak. It was already late autumn, and he didn't want Daiyu to catch cold and get sick.
Ta da, da da...
The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and the soldiers delivered the latest news from Beijing.
Jia Cong took the letter, opened it and read it with Daiyu.
The letter was written by Lin Ruhai himself, and it detailed the proceedings of yesterday's meeting at the Qinzheng Hall.
"Mr. Zhou Ge first gave us a sweet date, and then took out a big stick!"
First, he took the initiative to delete the matter of his father's murder and surrender, and eliminated hidden dangers for Rongguo Mansion. Later, he petitioned for the title of Duke, and then transferred his father back to Beijing on the grounds that he would be rewarded.
After this set of tactics, no one can say that the chief minister of the cabinet is suppressing the generals.
Jia Cong raised his eyebrows, feeling a little aggrieved, but it was understandable. In the new southern Xinjiang region, leaving a highly prestigious general like Jia She outside would make the civil servants feel uneasy when sleeping.
It is estimated that if Mr. She continues to stay, within half a year, rumors will spread in the capital for no reason that Jia She is unfaithful and wants to make himself king.
"It's good for my uncle to come back, so as not to be missed by others. However, the princes in the court only focused on guarding against the generals, but they never thought about how the newly annexed land would be easily stabilized. Without the uncle in charge, the generals would fight on their own. Repeated rebellions are possible.”
Daiyu put the letter away, with a scowl on her pretty face. The joy brought by the late autumn scenery just now disappeared.
Jia Cong took her hand and squeezed it gently.
"It's not that they didn't think about this, but they were thinking of choosing the lesser of two evils. A mere bandit rebellion is not as scary as the Rongguo Mansion rebellion. Sister Lin doesn't need to be angry. Didn't His Majesty fail to accept this matter? Our emperor is born Suspicious but trustworthy when employing people, Mr. Zhou Ge made a mistake this time."
Emperor Yuanyou, Liu Heng, had such a weird personality that even old saints often complained about him.
He is naturally suspicious and uncertain, but he treats his own people with all his heart and has unreserved trust.
Zhou Jiong thought that the current emperor was like an old sage who liked to control the court with emperor's mind. In fact, the emperor Liu Heng truly disliked the so-called emperor's mentality. He treated his ministers with sincerity, accepted his ministers with loyalty, and exchanged sincerity for sincerity. This was the reason why the generals gradually came back to their hearts.
On the contrary, those courtiers among the civil servants who liked to be scheming and cunning could never gain the trust of the emperor. Although Zhou Jiong is a qualified cabinet minister, he always takes the overall situation into consideration.
But precisely because he was too concerned about the so-called overall situation, compared to the late Wei Wenzhenggong, he was never able to keep up with the emperor.
Just like what the emperor once said to Jia Cong, Zhou Jiong is just Zhou Jiong and will never become Wei Wenzheng!
However, although the emperor trusted Rong Guofu, he still had to be prepared for the response.
While the carriage and horses rested at the inn, Jia Cong wrote several secret letters and sent them to the capital and the south respectively.
After that, the two continued to go north. This time they went out to Beijing not just for fun. Daiyu wanted to inspect the promotion of compulsory education in the four prefectures of Xuanfu, Baoan, Yanqing, and Changping, while Jia Cong went to Changping to meet the eccentric "great inventor" Niu Geng.
On the fifth day of October, the two arrived in Changping and settled in Changping Guanyi.
That night, another letter came from the capital, three in total.
Jia Cong first opened the letter sent by Rongguo Mansion. It was still written by Lin Ruhai...
"Sister Lin, look, it's a letter delivered by dad from Shenglong Mansion. It seems that Mr. Zhou Ge can't beat the stick this time. Dad has already asked Your Majesty to return to Beijing when southern Xinjiang is at peace after the new year. recuperate."
Is Mr. Pardon really a rough guy?
How could the heir to the Duke's Mansion who was personally trained by Jia Daishan be a big boss?
After pacifying southern Xinjiang, Mr. Pardon had already anticipated the reaction of the DPRK and China. Although the emperor had secretly ordered him to take charge of southern Xinjiang, Jia She did not want to do this.
If he stayed in southern Xinjiang, wouldn't Rongguo Mansion become the original four kings with different surnames?
Ambition sometimes arises inadvertently, and he, Jia She, is not stupid enough to pit his family against a country.
Daxia is now so powerful that it would only think of rebelling in the prosperous times if its brains were eaten by zombies. Rather than having a quarrel with the royal family, it would be better to return to Beijing early and enjoy the glory and wealth.
With the achievements that he and his good son have made for the country, the Jia family can live on for hundreds of years even if they just rest on their merits.
The Pardon Master had no reservations in his letter and wrote everything in his heart.
While Jia Cong was crying and laughing, the emperor in the Qinzheng Palace was furious.
"This bastard, when did I ever doubt him?"
"He is still a cunning rabbit and a lackey. Who does he mean? Am I that kind of person?"
"You bastard, you deliberately wrote this in the letter. You are clearly angry with me!"
Master Pardon's family letters were rushed back to the capital along with the Dragon Guards on the 800-mile journey. According to regulations, the border general's family letters would also be opened and inspected by the Dragon Guards.
This kind of "letter from home", which was clearly and deliberately written to express complaints to the emperor, was quickly delivered to the emperor's desk. The angry emperor cursed in the Qinzheng Hall!
