On the way, Jia Huan was still thinking about the marriage granted by Yuanchun's decree.
The orders given by princes, queens, concubines, and princes are called edicts.
(The Yizhi used in the previous chapter is wrong because I was in a hurry and did not have time to check it carefully. Yizhi is an order issued by the Empress Dowager and the Empress. The order issued by Yuanchun is called Lingzhi, which has been revised)
In fact, in the Book of Red Mansions, if the plot proceeds according to Cao Gong's original intention, Jia Baoyu's eventual marriage to Xue Baochai should also be the result of the marriage decree issued by Yuanchun.
On the matter of Jia Baoyu's marriage, Jia's mother-in-law and Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not agree with each other.
Mother Jia prefers Lin Daiyu, and Mrs. Wang prefers Xue Baochai.
In terms of objective conditions, Lin Daiyu's status was actually more respected than Xue Baochai's, and she was more suitable to marry into the Jia family.
In ancient times, when two families got married, the emphasis was on being well-matched, and the Jia family was a family of two princes.
The ancestors of the Lin family had a marquis, and Lin Ruhai had an extremely noble family background.
As the saying goes, these two families are truly matched families.
The Xue family was just an imperial merchant. Even if there was a Ziweishen in their ancestors, they were just a merchant family without a title.
It is said that the four major families are closely connected and often have marriages with each other.
Why didn't Xue Pan marry a lady from the four major families?
Why didn't Xue Pan propose marriage to Jia Mansion's Yingchun or Tanchun? Didn't you propose marriage to the other two major families?
In the end, he married a girl from the Xia family who was also from a business family in Shili Guihua?
Xue Biao married Xing Xiuyan, and his family was in dire straits.
It can be seen that although the Xue family is listed as one of the four major families, it is actually just a few bad money, and they are really not on the stage.
Therefore, Lin Daiyu actually has more advantages than Xue Baochai.
But in the end, Jia Baoyu still married Xue Baochai, without reading the last forty chapters written by Gao E.
Jia Huan guessed that this should be the result of Yuanchun's decree granting marriage.
After the marriage was granted in Yuanchun, Daiyu died, and Jia's mother was angry to death, which started the beginning of the Jia family's destruction.
What Jia Huan didn't expect was that he had already traveled through time. Unexpectedly, Yuanchun still issued an order to grant a marriage, but this time the person to whom the marriage was granted was Lin Daiyu.
(The above is also a response to netizens’ doubts about Yuanchun’s marriage in the comment area. As the empress, Yuanchun is qualified to grant marriage. Of course, as Lin Daiyu is the daughter of Yan Zheng Lin Ruhai, Yuanchun’s marriage may be somewhat inappropriate, but Well, it’s really hard to be perfect and watertight. Please forgive me for any shortcomings.)
Jia Huan still had complicated feelings towards this half-sister whom she had never met a few times.
I used to feel pity for him, but now I feel extremely disgusted with him.
The remaining affection in Jia Huan's heart for Rongguo Mansion has been exhausted by this moment.
This time Jia Huan didn't know why Emperor Chongkang summoned him, but in Jia Huan's view, this was an opportunity to break the situation.
Openly resisting the imperial concubine's order would cause many consequences. He couldn't really elope with Sister Lin, could he?
If this is the case, where will my uncle Lin Ruhai be placed?
While Jia Huan was thinking, he had arrived at the palace.
Not long after, Jia Huan was invited into the imperial study.
Jia Huan met Emperor Chongkang and was given a seat by Emperor Chongkang, who ordered him to sit down and talk.
After Jia Huan sat down, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but said: "Jia Aiqing, this time I, Daxia, can achieve a complete victory in the battle of the Great Wall and annihilate tens of thousands of Jin troops."
"Although Zhou Tong commanded it well, Zhou Tong said that he learned all the tactics of this battle from Jia Aiqing. If Jia Aiqing commanded it personally, he would definitely be able to achieve greater results."
"In this case, Jia Aiqing can also be said to have contributed a lot!"
Hearing Emperor Chongkang's words, Jia Huan couldn't help but look at Emperor Chongkang with expectation.
He now wanted to hear what Emperor Chongkang was going to say next: I don't know what reward you want.
As long as Emperor Chongkang said this, Jia Huan would immediately ask Emperor Chongkang for marriage.
However, a cunning look flashed in Emperor Chongkang's eyes, but he suddenly stopped and refused to mention the reward.
This made Jia Huan dumbfounded.
What do you mean, Your Majesty? You called me here and said these words again, and said that I deserved all the credit.
According to common sense, shouldn't the next step be to ask me what reward I want?
Why did it stop at the critical moment?
You've taken off your pants and you're just going to show me this?
Emperor Chongkang is acting out of common sense!
Emperor Chongkang looked at the expression on Jia Huan's face and couldn't help but smile, like an old fox.
Jia Huan had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty has made such ridiculous compliments, and I am ashamed of myself. I am just talking on paper. If I really command on the battlefield, my position will be messed up. I hope your Majesty will learn from it."
Emperor Chongkang said with a smile: "Jia Aiqing doesn't need to be too humble. In Jia Aiqing's opinion, how can we train a strong army?"
Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am a civil servant who knows nothing about the art of war. How dare you speak nonsense? If your Majesty really wants to know the answer, it is better to find those generals and ask."
Emperor Chongkang sighed: "I also want to ask them for an answer, but these military generals are the best at eating free money and drinking the blood of soldiers. They are also very good at colluding with civil servants and even the Jin army, but they are not good at the art of war. Because What can I do?"
"If it weren't for me, Daxia, and Jia Aiqing and Zhou Tong this time, I, Daxia, would have been torn off even the last fig leaf."
"Not only did Jia Aiqing lead 300 soldiers, he was able to burn down the Jin State's granaries, and he also set fire to the mountains and killed the Jin State generals and 3,000 soldiers and horses. He was also very skilled in the art of war. Even Zhou Tong admitted that he studied under you."
"If Jia Aiqing doesn't know the art of war, then I'm afraid no one in Daxia will understand the art of war."
"Besides, I didn't ask you to personally train a strong army. I just wanted to ask for your opinion. You can just tell me, and I can listen to you. That's all."
Emperor Chongkang had reached this point, and Jia Huan had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, I believe that in order to train a strong army, two things must be done."
Emperor Chongkang asked with great interest: "Oh, Jia Aiqing might as well explain, what two things need to be done?"
Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "I believe that the first point is to strictly enforce military discipline, and orders and prohibitions must be followed."
"When I look at the big and small battles between our Daxia and the Jin Kingdom, we always lose more and win less. Even if our Daxia army has twice as many soldiers as the Jin Kingdom, the defeated side is always my Daxia side."
"Why is this so? I think that the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, who grew up on horses since childhood, and are skilled in bow and horse combat, are indeed better than my Daxia soldiers."
"But the more important reason is that the Daxia soldiers were afraid of the Jin army like tigers. They were timid before they started fighting. They also didn't trust each other. They couldn't defeat them anyway, and they would eventually run away, so they thought about how to escape before fighting. "
"And on the battlefield, once the situation becomes tense, soldiers will inevitably flee. And once someone flees, the entire army will collapse."
"Therefore, it is not that my strength is twice that of the Jin soldiers, so I am really inferior to the Jin army, but I am defeated by cowardice."
"Only by strictly observing military discipline, enforcing orders and prohibitions, fighting to the death without withdrawing the troops before calling for gold, and allowing soldiers to fully trust their comrades, so that each other can give their backs to their comrades, can we defeat the Jin army."
Fighting on the battlefield is naturally not that simple.
However, Emperor Chongkang understood what Jia Huan wanted to express.
And Jia Huan's angle of analysis is very novel.
No general has ever analyzed the reasons why he could not defeat the Jin army from this perspective before.
After thinking about it, Emperor Chongkang felt that what Jia Huan said was very reasonable.
Fearing war, Daxia soldiers were not thinking about how to kill the enemy bravely, but how to escape.
Every soldier knows that his comrades around him are unreliable and may run away at any time. In this case, who else will bravely kill the enemy?
Under such circumstances, how can one be invincible?
Emperor Chongkang's face showed a thoughtful look, and he couldn't help but ask: "Jia Aiqing, what is the second point?"
Jia Huan said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the second point is to help our Daxia soldiers establish a sense of military honor."
"If I, a soldier in Daxia, only regard being a soldier as a profession to make a living, I will not kill the enemy bravely in battle, but will only save my life to protect myself."
"The only way is to let them establish a sense of mission and realize that behind them are their wives, children and children! They are fighting for their compatriots, fighting for their relatives, fighting for our country, and fighting for the honor of the military!"
"Only in this way can we truly train a strong army."
After the Peninsula Campaign, why did General Deser of the beautiful country lament: They were fighting the wrong war at the wrong time, in the wrong place?
Why did he lament that the Chinese soldiers were an invincible army?
Obviously they are ahead of the Chinese soldiers by an unknown amount in terms of weapons and equipment?
The main reason is that the soldiers of the United States only regard their soldiers as a profession.
As for Chinese soldiers, protecting their homeland and country is their deep-rooted belief.
It is precisely because of their courage to move forward without fear of sacrifice that they have gained a great reputation.
After listening to Jia Huan's words, Emperor Chongkang fell into deep thought again.
The two strategies proposed by Jia Huan to strengthen the army impressed Emperor Chongkang and felt that they were very reasonable.
But before this, few people mentioned these two points.
This made Emperor Chongkang look thoughtful on his face.
After a long while, Emperor Chongkang suddenly said: "Jia Aiqing, you have also seen the current situation in Daxia."
"Nowadays, those generals are unreliable, and the three major battalions are vulnerable to the Jin Army. I want to disrupt the three major battalions and retrain a new army."
"I wonder if Jia Aiqing is willing to share my worries and help me train an invincible new army? If Jia Aiqing is willing to take on this important task, I will definitely give you whatever reward Aiqing wants."
Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Only then did he understand why Emperor Chongkang asked him how to train a strong army.
Co-author is waiting for him here!
Moreover, Emperor Chongkang was a very thief, so he must be willing to take on this important task and help him train new troops before he would be willing to reward him.
Jia Huan could probably guess the reason why Emperor Chongkang chose him.
First of all, it was probably because he repeatedly performed miracles, leading three hundred soldiers to burn the Jin army's food and grass, and burned to death the Jin army generals and three thousand Jin army. And it's because that guy Zhou Tong helped him become famous.
Secondly, it all depends on the support of his peers, not to mention those Daxia generals who were vulnerable to the Jin army. Wang Ziteng, the governor of the Beijing camp, was also extremely incompetent, which greatly disappointed Emperor Chongkang.
The third reason is probably because of his reliability, at least compared to Yuan Ping's lineage who hooked up with the Jin Army - maybe they never hooked up with the Jin Army.
The fact that two hundred thousand Jin troops were able to enter the hinterland of Daxia does not necessarily mean that all Daxia generals are colluding with the Jin army, or in other words, it is definitely not the case.
If they really connected with the Jin Army, then Daxia would have ceased to exist.
However, these generals all put their own interests first, and for this purpose they would even betray Daxia's interests.
In extreme cases, they may not rebel or even rebel.
None of these generals can be trusted.
But Jia Huan is different. First of all, his master is Zhao Heng, and Jia Huan has been labeled as a reformist.
The reformists are all lonely ministers.
Maybe when Jia Huan becomes truly powerful, there may be a day when he can't lose his strength.
But at least for now, Jia Huan is absolutely credible.
As for Jia Huan, it is actually a good choice for him to make a gorgeous transformation from a civil servant to a military general.
Jia Huan had a hunch that Daxia's road to change might not be smooth sailing.
Maybe something will happen in the future.
If this is the case, then if you can control an army, you will at least have the capital to protect yourself.
Thinking of this, Jia Huan had a look of helplessness on his face, and he said unwillingly: "Your Majesty has an order, how dare I disobey it!"
Seeing that Jia Huan agreed, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help laughing and said: "Jia Aiqing has made great contributions to the country. I wonder what reward Jia Aiqing wants?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Huan immediately said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to grant me a marriage."
Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Oh, I wonder which lady from the house Jia Aiqing likes?"
Jia Huan said: "Your Majesty, I would like to inform you that I fell in love at first sight with Lin Ruhai, the daughter of the Lin Mansion, who is a salt teacher in the south of the Yangtze River. Please ask your Majesty to marry me!"
Hearing the name Lin Ruhai, Emperor Chongkang couldn't help but sigh: "Lin Aiqing is my minister, Jiangnan is a good place!"
"It's just that I don't have anyone available at the moment. If not, I would have transferred Lin Aiqing back to the capital."
"Guan Guan Jujiu is in Hezhizhou, a graceful lady, a gentleman is so good! Since Jia Aiqing asks for it, I will accept it."
"But you must treat Lin Aiqing's daughter well. If I hear that you are treating her badly at all, I will not spare you."
Jia Huan said hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
But there was something in my heart: just listen to what the emperor said about treating Uncle Lin as a minister of humerus, don't take it seriously.
How much suffering did Uncle Lin suffer in the Jiangnan Salt Class? She lost her son first and then her wife. Even Lin Daiyu, the daughter, might not have been able to survive if she had not been sent to Jia's house.
Lin Ruhai also died in the salt class in the end. What kind of minister is this?
I'm afraid the femoral head is necrotic, right?
However, Emperor Chongkang agreed to the marriage, which was a great joy for Jia Huan.
Finally, Sister Lin's problem was solved perfectly, and this time the emperor granted her a marriage. Look at those birdmen in the West Mansion and the big-faced guy, do you dare to talk nonsense in the future? (End of chapter)
