Chapter 1351 Queen Song: She is better than Jinyang no matter what
…
Tianjin Wei
After all, Jia Heng did not stay in Beiping Mansion for too long. After telling Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, to pass on the Shanhaiguan police information to Tianjin Wei at any time, when Tianjin Wei heard that the Jiangnan Navy had arrived, he also accompanied Wang Shuirong of Beijing.
Head to Tianjin Wei.
Since Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, established his capital in Peiping, Tianjin Wei has become the maritime gateway of Peiping. There are three guards in total, namely Tianjin Wei, Tianjin Left Guard and Tianjin Right Guard.
Chen Han followed the Ming Dynasty's setup, upgraded Tianjin Wei to Tianjin Prefecture, and established an official system to govern the counties under the prefecture.
At this moment, at the towering gate of the city, flags were covering the sky and the sun, and they were rustling in the wind. Looking around, I could see a large number of officials, big and small, standing in official uniforms.
Zhan Wencai, the magistrate of Tianjin, Lu Chang, the commander of the Wei capital of Tianjin, Wang Chengji, the commander of the capital, An Shaocheng, the commander of the left guard, Mao Shun, the commander of the right guard, and other military and political dignitaries came out of the city to welcome him.
On the official road with green and yellow grass on both sides, Jia Heng was riding a horse with a maroon mane, holding the saddle, walking slowly. Not far away from him was Wang Shuirong of Beijing. In addition, it was the Jia family's
Several young generals, followed by a large number of bodyguards in golden robes.
Jia Heng stared into the distance with cold eyes, looking at the majestic city wall, thinking about the past and present life of this Jinmen city.
Yuan Xiangcheng trains troops at the small station.
He can't actually talk about military training now, because his basic base has been sharpened in previous wars and accumulated a lot.
Shui Rong was handsome at the moment, with sweat on his fair face. He pointed his hand at the generals at the city gate in front of him and said: "Ziyu, look ahead, the Tianjin Guards are coming out to welcome you."
Not far away, the general of the Tianjin Guard with flags was already coming to greet him. He cupped his fists and said, "The last general of the Tianjin Guard, Commander Lu Chang, has met Duke Wei and Prince Beijing."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Commander Lu and several other commanders are here to please rise."
Then, he turned over and dismounted, throwing a rein in his hand to the retinue on the side.
At this time, all the soldiers and generals of Tianjin Guard also looked at the young man in the python suit.
This Duke of Wei, who has become a powerful and powerful man in the past few years, looks to be eighteen or nineteen years old, in his prime, with a cold face, sharp eyes, and an air of calmness and authority around him.
Amidst the pleasantries, Lu Chang introduced one by one the generals present and the civil servants of Tianjin Prefecture.
Then, Jia Heng and Beijing Wang Shuirong entered the Tianjin Acropolis together with the general's retinue.
This city has a history of one or two hundred years. Looking from the outside, it can be seen that the previous government officials have repaired the city wall several times. It can be seen that it is majestic and majestic. On both sides of the city gate and on the streets, there are teams of people wearing robes.
Soldiers in armor, armed with weapons, act as ceremonial guards.
Jia Heng, surrounded by military generals, entered the official office of Tianjin Guards all the way, came to the hall and took a seat. The servants served him tea, and then slowly retreated.
"Commander Lu, I wonder how many soldiers there are in the city?" Jia Heng asked.
Whether Tianjin's three guards were able to take advantage of the situation and drink their soldiers' blood like before was a matter of uncertainty.
Lu Chang nodded and said: "There are 5,600 soldiers in the city, all of them in the military camp. When Old Governor Li Ge came to town in Peiping, he made many inspections."
Because Li Zan, Minister of the Ministry of War, had already organized some military affairs when he was in charge of Beiping. It can be said that these problems have been dealt with several times before.
Of course, others don't know whether it will return to its old ways.
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow, I will personally supervise the army to inspect the relevant generals and soldiers, and inspect the generals."
Lu Chang looked solemn and raised his hands.
Jia Heng turned around and asked: "Which guard is the current one of the Zhouchuan Navy in the city?"
Lu Chang nodded and said: "Report to Duke Wei, Tianjin Left Guard and Tianjin Right Guard both have navy ships."
Jia Heng's face was slightly calm, and he glanced at the generals below with a pair of serious eyes, and said: "Where is the commander of the Tianjin Left Guard?"
A young general not far behind Lu Chang, with a resolute face, raised his hands and said: "The humble An Shaocheng has met Duke Wei."
Jia Heng looked at it for a moment and asked: "How many Zhouchuan naval forces are there in Tianjin Zuowei?"
An Shaocheng looked solemn, cupped his hands and said: "Back to the defense of the country, there are eighty-five boats in size. All of our troops are naval soldiers and can go to sea at any time. Our soldiers also have experience in boat and water warfare."
Jia Heng nodded and asked again: "Where is Tianjin Right Guard?"
At this time, a middle-aged general quickly stepped out of the queue, raised his hands and said: "The last general, Mao Shun, has met Duke Wei. Tianjin Youwei does not have all the ships and naval forces, but also has thirty ships of various sizes and 2,800 soldiers.
"
Jia Heng did the math and found out that if Tianjin Zuowei's 5,600 people were naval forces, and adding another 2,800 people, there would be more than 8,000 naval forces.
Obviously, there are more than enough troops to warn the coast guard and arrest pirates, but it is certainly impossible to use these troops to cross the sea to attack North Korea or even harass the Jurchens.
Beijing Wang Shuirong nodded and said, "Zi Yu, Tianjin Guard's naval force is still somewhat lacking in strength."
Jia Heng said: "The Jiangnan Navy should arrive at Tianjin Guards in the next two days."
The two naval forces combined had more than 60,000 men, enough to harass the elite supply lines of the Jurchen Eight Banners, which was enough to become a decisive military force in the Korean War.
Then, accompanied by the commander of the Tianjin Guards Navy, Jia Heng and Wang Shuirong of Beijing began to eat the food.
At night, the sky is full of stars, the Milky Way is vast, and the cool autumn breeze blows the lanterns under the eaves, making a hoarse sound.
The next day, Jia Heng, accompanied by a group of generals from Tianjin Wei, went to inspect the navy ships moored in the port.
Tianjin Guard's boat was not in disrepair as Jia Heng had previously thought. The surroundings of the boat were newly painted, and sailors were guarding the boat near it.
Jia Heng looked at the accompanying general and asked: "Are the ships in the harbor usually repaired and maintained?"
Tianjin Guard Commander Lu Chang said: "Every year, troops are sent to repair the ships, and the Peiping Commander-in-Chief will also come to inspect them."
Jia Heng nodded, looked up at Lu Chang, and said, "How many shipbuilding workshops are there in Weizhong, Tianjin?"
Lu Chang said: "This... you may have to ask Mr. Zhan."
As he spoke, Commander Lu turned to look at the middle-aged official wearing a fifth-grade official robe and a black gauze hat with a thin face.
It was Zhan Wencai, the magistrate of Tianjin Prefecture, who was in his early forties, thin and energetic, with a goatee under his chin.
At this moment, Zhan Wencai quickly handed over his hand and replied: "Mr. Wei Guo, in addition to the official shipyard, there are three private shipyards in the city, which are mainly engaged in maritime trade and cargo breeding. Since the imperial court opened the sea, shipyards have sprung up in the city, and many more have been opened.
Two or three."
Jia Heng said: "The imperial court is preparing to build the Tianjin Navy. Only the Tianjin Guards will be retained from the original three guards. The left and right boat navy divisions will be transferred to the Tianjin Marine Division. All related ships must be fully prepared in the near future, whether official ships or private ships.
Prepare."
He is the minister of military aircraft, so of course he can make subtle adjustments to the military system.
Lu Chang frowned, his eyes lit up, and there was a murmur in his heart.
If he is planning to build a navy, it must be much higher than the rank of the third-grade guard commander. Maybe he can give it a try.
However, he now leads the Tianjin Guard and cannot interfere with the navy.
Jia Heng, accompanied by the accompanying soldiers, went to the guard command office and went to the study room in the backyard to have a cup of tea and rest.
Jia Heng looked at Shuirong not far away and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Tianjin Wei's boats?"
Shui Rong was silent for a moment and said: "The boats are enough to become a navy, but they are not yet capable of being used for great purposes."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Even if the Jurchens are annihilated and sea trade flourishes in the future, Tianjin and Bohai Bay and other places will still need a navy to subdue the entire sea area."
Shui Rong lamented: "Once the Jurchens in Liaodong are destroyed, our Han Dynasty's defense frontier will really be placed on the navy."
Therefore, he joined the navy before and had great potential in the future.
At this time, Jia Heng took a map and began to look at the mountains and rivers geography on it, thinking about the future arrangements.

Shenjing City
To the southwest, among the rows of houses, there is a vast villa, and the sound of harps can be heard throughout the courtyard. The area in front of the pavilion is like a jasper lake, with the lake surface sparkling and the trees reflecting in it.
In an octagonal pavilion with double eaves and hooked corners and red beams and columns——
Chen Xiao and the beauty in a plain dress with a slim waist sat opposite each other across an apricot chessboard, each holding chess pieces and playing chess.
The person was none other than Gu Ruoqing.
"That person in your family has gone to Tianjin? Didn't you go with him?" Gu Ruoqing, with her beautiful face as cold as frost, put down the chess piece in her hand and asked.
Chen Xiao's jade face, as crystal clear as snow, looked like a flawless white jade under the sunlight, with a rosy complexion. He said, "He didn't let me go. Besides, there is something going on at home."
Gu Ruoqing's willow-leaf curved eyebrows were dark and green, her clear eyes kept flickering, and she said softly: "But are you worried about Chen Yuan's secret attack?"
Chen Xiao's cold and jade face gradually showed a dignified look on her cheeks, and she said: "Chen Yuan is dormant in the dark now and may attack the female relatives of Ning and Rong."
"He is not so careless about the overall situation. He has more important things to do now." Gu Ruoqing said in a low voice with crooked eyebrows.
Chen Xiao said softly: "Has he been in contact with you recently?"
Gu Ruoqing shook his head and said softly: "Since the last incident, he has already had doubts about me and has not looked for me again."
The beauty thought for a while, her bright eyes showed worry, and asked: "Junior sister, have you seen Master recently?"
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "I haven't seen her recently."
The previous assassination attempt had failed, and the Holy Mother of White Lotus has been dormant recently.
While the two were talking, Nan Ling came quickly along a stone path paved with gravel and said: "Princess, there is a guard in Jinyi outside, saying that the palace saint has passed on the princess to enter the palace."
Chen Xiao put down a white chess piece in his hand, and when he raised his head, he met Gu Ruoqing's gaze and said, "I'm going to the palace right now."
Gu Ruoqing's eyes were filled with worry and he said, "Then you should be careful."
Watching Chen Xiao go away, Gu Ruoqing gently picked up a cup of tea, and a hint of loss gradually appeared on her plump face.
This is the sadness of the older leftover women, because all their best friends are married, but she is still alone, and she will inevitably feel depressed and unable to resolve it.
Since you have nothing to do in Beijing, why not go to Tianjin and see the war? See that person?
With this thought, Gu Ruoqing's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that this thought was growing rapidly in his heart like weeds, and soon it became entangled in his heart.
In this way, Gu Ruoqing decided to pack his bags and plan to go to Tianjin Wei.
…
…
On the other side, Chen Xiao was summoned by Emperor Chongping to enter the palace garden and quickly came to the inner study.
It was afternoon, the sun shone through the carved windows on the desk, the golden morning light shone on the desk, and the shadow of the brush on the pen holder was reflected on the paper.
Emperor Chongping put down the memorial in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Chen Xiao, who was wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife at his waist, with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes, and said: "Xiaoxiao, how have you been in Jinyi Mansion in the capital recently?
"
Chen Xiao cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, everything is going well in Jinyi Mansion in the capital. I have been investigating the remnants of White Lotus recently, and there is nothing else going on."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "Let's put aside the matters in Beijing for now. You have recently packed up and gone to Tianjin Guard to assist Zi Yu in handling intelligence matters before the army."
Chen Xiao looked hesitant for a moment and said: "I... I wonder what you are calling me to do at this time?"
She originally stayed in the capital to protect Ning and Rong, but now she has to go to Tianjin Guard.
What did that person think?
Do you really need her help? Or do you want her to follow you and serve you?
Emperor Chongping looked at the girl and said: "Zi Yu's side, Fei Ge, sent a message, saying that they need help there."
During these days in Tianjin Guard, Jia Heng thought about it and asked the guards of Jinyi Mansion to deliver the flying pigeon letter, and asked Chen Xiao to go with him.
Chen Xiao's expression became silent for a moment, he didn't say much and just handed over his hand.
When Chen Xiao left the palace, Emperor Chongping had a look of thought in his eyes under his thin, pine eyebrows that looked like long swords.
Jinyi Mansion, Internal Affairs Mansion...could it be intentional?
Emperor Chongping closed his eyes slightly and shook his head secretly.
I think maybe I am being suspicious.
After calming down, Emperor Chongping left the inner study. The middle-aged emperor quickly came to Kunning Palace and his sleeping quarters——
Empress Song was currently wearing a vermilion dress, her waterfall-like hair was combed into a beautiful bun, and her graceful and gorgeous face was like a hibiscus flower, and she was currently coaxing two children, a boy and a girl.
At this moment, the female official entered the palace and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has arrived."
Empress Song put down the two children in her hands, stood up and walked towards Emperor Chongping.
"Your Majesty, we are done with the work ahead." Empress Song took a few steps quickly, with traces of a prosperous smile lingering on her beautiful face.
Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "I just summoned Xiaoxiao, and a flying pigeon came from Ziyu's side to pass a message, saying that he wanted Xiaoxiao to come over."
Empress Song said: "Your Majesty, has Ziyu arrived at Tianjin Guard?"
Emperor Chongping sat down and said warmly: "Well, the navy is being reorganized during this period, which is strange..."
Queen Song was surprised and asked: "Your Majesty, what's so strange?"
Emperor Chongping frowned, as if a little puzzled, and said: "Since Ziyu left Shenjing, he seems to be in no hurry to help North Korea's crisis."
Empress Song thought for a while, and under her beautiful eyebrows, her charming and flowing eyes were as moist as water, and she said softly: "Someone else's house is on fire, but it is not my own house that is on fire, so I am not in a hurry to rush to help."
The little fox was procrastinating so much, maybe he was planning something else.
Emperor Chongping responded softly and said: "This is also true, but Ziyu seems to want to completely turn Korea into a vassal vassal of the Han Dynasty."
In fact, with the emperor's mind, he could guess some plots where the snipe and the clam fight and the fisherman wins.
Queen Song's beautiful eyes were shining brightly under her curved eyebrows, her pink lips were slightly parted, and she said: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that Ziyu wants to bring North Korea under the rule of the Han Dynasty?"
Emperor Chongping said: "That's more or less the case. However, Ziyu has not mentioned this matter to me before. It is not urgent to mention it again when the situation becomes clearer."
Compared with him, Ziyu has more ambitions to open up new territories, whether it is the previous Japanese country or the current North Korea.
Empress Song nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Let's have lunch first."
Emperor Chongping didn't say much else, sat down and said, "Did Song Jing go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs recently?"
When the matter was mentioned, Empress Song couldn't conceal her joy on her fair-skinned face and said, "Your Majesty, you have already gone."
Emperor Chongping said: "Jinyang has been busy with affairs in the south recently, and is also too busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Let Song Jing take more responsibility on weekdays."
She had a secret affair with Ziyu in Jinyang, and it would be inappropriate for her to have too much control over the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future.
Empress Song responded softly, but she understood a little bit in her heart.
He was probably on guard against that little fox. After all, Jinyang and the little fox were in love with the same person. Now that he was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was very easy for him to have secret communications.
In fact, after a few days, this beauty still hated Jia Heng with a passion.
He provoked his sister-in-law first, and then his sister-in-law, and both of them got pregnant. This person really didn't deserve to be a son-in-law.
I don’t know who I like more between the bed curtains and when we are obsessed with each other?
When it comes to pleasing that little fox, she is better than Jinyang...
Um?
As the beauty thought this, she felt her heart beating wildly, her plump and fair face couldn't help but have two blushes, she felt her legs under her skirt coming together a little, and her heart was inexplicably trembling.
Well, what does she want with this?
This is a woman's mentality of comparison. She wants to compare with everything, and this is naturally no exception.
Just as the beauty was thinking about it, Emperor Chongping also finished his lunch and said, "I'm going to see Luo'er."
Chen Luo is already the youngest son of Emperor Chongping. This emperor also has the mentality of an old man who only loves his young son. In other words, it is easier to feel the continuation of his bloodline from the vivid life of a young child.
Empress Song said: "I will go with your Majesty."
While talking, he and Emperor Chongping came to Nuange. At this moment, the nanny was coaxing a boy, and the rattle kept shaking.
"I've met Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Auntie called from the side.
"Father, Emperor, Mother." The boy in his arms called softly, his voice was soft and waxy, and he stretched out his little hand, as if to gently caress Emperor Chongping's face.
Emperor Chongping held the boy in his arms, with a look of relief in his eyes.
This is his bloodline.
Empress Song looked on from the side, with a hint of complexity in her beautiful eyes.
It would be a good thing for Your Majesty to be happy.
