Chapter 181 Grassland Attack
"asshole!"
"The Ministry of Personnel is a beast!"
"What are you going to do!?"
Xue Wenyan kept scolding angrily!
Now that he was promoted to the position of county magistrate, he recommended his son as a filial and honest official, but he failed! ?
This... this is such a great shame and humiliation!
Even the people he nominated when he was the county magistrate had never failed like this!
Now... now it has failed! ?
What are these bastards doing?!
"Something's wrong!"
"Someone must be behind this!"
“Who could it be!?”
Xue Wenyan's face was as gloomy as water!
He believed that if no one interfered, the Ministry of Personnel would never refuse this matter!
But who has such great power and wants to make things difficult for him?
Chen Guang?
It should be impossible.
Ever since Chen Xue came back from Jinchuan County, Chen Guang's attitude towards him has been surprisingly good!
His words even implied that he wanted to become his relative.
Then...who could it be?
Xue Wenyan thought hard but couldn't figure it out.
In the end, Xue Wenyan had no choice but to take out paper and pen and write a letter to the capital.
He wanted to ask someone he knew about this matter... who was behind this?
If he knew who it was, he would kill that bastard!
But just as Xue Wenyan was furious, something big happened in Dajing!
That is...something happened at the border again!
Dajing worked so hard to deliver the tribute to the border, but who would have thought that after receiving the tribute, the grassland people would turn against them and actually launch an attack on Dajing!
Dajing was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses!
This... When this news came out, all the civil and military officials of Dajing, and even His Majesty the Emperor, could no longer sit still!
That night, Eunuch Zhang was urgently summoned to the palace to discuss the matter!
……
The next morning, the court was held in the Golden Palace.
"Everyone, have you heard? Something happened at the border!"
"Everyone knows this! It is said that the grassland Tartars are shameless. After receiving the gifts, they still want to make a move!"
"These bastard Tartars are simply beasts!"
"Now that spring is about to arrive, the snowstorm on the grassland will stop. If the grassland launches a large-scale attack, we... our Dajing will be in danger!"
In the court, a group of civil and military officials continued to discuss.
But General Luo, Marquis Jian'an and others had gloomy faces and said nothing at this time!
The wars on the grassland have always been led by the generals of General Luo’s faction!
Now, the war has started again, and they must be prepared to fight and kill the enemy!
This time, I guess Eunuch Zhang won't stop them, right?
While General Luo was thinking, he glanced around and looked at the current Grand Tutor Cai Jing!
Cai Jing is now in his forties, thin and with a faint smile on his face.
He is the leader of the civil service group, and over the years, he has also recruited many military generals.
I don’t know if he will cause trouble during this expedition.
Just as General Luo was looking at Cai Jing, Cai Jing seemed to notice something and turned around to look at General Luo.
When General Luo saw the other party's half-smile, his face instantly became extremely ugly...
This... this bastard must be plotting against him in his heart!
After a while, Emperor Dajing came out accompanied by Eunuch Zhang.
As for this attack from the grassland, Dajing was unusually tough and decided to go into all-out war with the grassland!
This news made both civil and military officials excited!
For military generals, fighting together means a chance to gain military merit!
As for the civil servants, they are in charge of logistics, and they can make a lot of money!
……
After heated discussions in the court, the army was led by General Luo himself.
However, General Luo also made a compromise.
The factions of Eunuch Zhang and Cai Jing also sent some generals to participate in the battle.
The dominant power is still in the hands of General Luo. As for those people... most of them are there to gain military merit and gild themselves!
General Luo knew all this, but he still compromised.
Because, if he wants to lead the battle, he must get the position of the general leading the troops!
And making appropriate concessions is also acceptable!
After all, this is the inevitable unspoken rule in the Daxia court today.
After the decision was made in the Dajing court, the news that Dajing was going to fight a war with the grassland quickly spread everywhere!
For a time, the people complained and suffered terribly!
Because, if the imperial court wants to hold such a large-scale battle, in addition to conscripting soldiers, it may also have to requisition food and fodder from the people!
By then, I don’t know how many people will starve to death.
Moreover, no one knows how many people will become official slaves of the imperial court because they cannot provide food. They will be captured by the imperial court to build city walls or dig canals.
Naturally, this news also spread to Zhoujia Village.
In fact, Jiang Chen knew it earlier than those people.
Because Chen Xue also mentioned these things when she wrote to him.
"Alas, it seems... the people's lives will become even more difficult!"
"This corrupt imperial court is such a waste!"
"If you have the ability, why don't you fight your own battles? Why do you always bully the people?!"
"Husband...you...what did you say?"
Bai Yan, who was wiping the table in the study, was shocked when she heard Jiang Chen's words.
……
In this era, Jiang Chen's words are really against Tiangang!
If this were heard by outsiders, then... Jiang Chen would probably get into trouble!
"Nothing, just clean up the study, I'll go out for a walk."
Jiang Chen forced a smile at Bai Yan, then stood up and left the room.
When he arrived at the workshop outside the yard, the villagers were also discussing this matter.
Although the villagers have no worries about food and drink now, they all look gloomy when they think about paying taxes again.
After all, they had just paid taxes before the New Year, and then paid New Year's cloth at the beginning of the year.
Although Jiang Chen gave them a discount when they handed over the New Year cloth, they did not lose much money.
But now...
Jiang Chen felt even worse when he saw the depressed looks of the villagers.
He strolled in the village, and after taking a few turns, he arrived at the school gate.
At this time, the sound of students reading could be heard in the school.
When Jiang Chen looked over, he saw Mensuan standing at the classroom door with an unconvinced look on his face.
Apparently, the little bastard was punished again.
This kid is really a born bad guy!
He was never obedient in class and even fought with kids from other villages, trying to bully others.
If it weren't for the fact that Qin Cuihua had slept with Jiang Chen several times, Mensuan would have been kicked out long ago.
When Mensuan saw Jiang Chen appear at the school gate, he instantly became obedient!
After all, Jiang Chen really doesn't spoil him!
Not only did he beat him himself, he also told the other children that if the door bolt dared to be arrogant, they should be beaten!
This made Mensuan no longer dare to challenge Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen ignored the bolt. Seeing Mu Qingqing teaching in the classroom, Jiang Chen's originally restless heart gradually calmed down.
This Dajing still has a future, doesn’t it?
But just when Jiang Chen was about to leave, he saw Xu Yunchang bringing a big man to the school gate.
When the two saw Jiang Chen, their eyes suddenly became nervous!
