Chapter 75 Yangzhou Camp(1/2)
Jia Yun came out of the Yanzheng Yamen, led two people to mount their horses, and the three horsemen whipped their horses and drove their mounts towards the North City Gate.
According to the laws of Daqian, no troops or horses from any province, except the border troops, can be stationed in the city.
The Yangzhou camp is stationed not far from the north gate of Yangzhou City, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Jia Yun and his two men rode to the Yangzhou camp.
Deer antler fence and arrow tower overlooking.
At this time, it was Shen Shi, the camp gate had not yet been closed, and there were sentries on guard.
The sentry saw the three cavalry approaching the camp gate from a distance, and immediately greeted him. The sentry team gathered in front of the camp gate. When Jia Yun came forward, he shouted and said: "Barracks station, stop anyone coming!"
Jia Yun took the lead and stopped in front of the camp gate. The guards behind him stepped forward and shouted: "Master Shen Ling is here on an errand, why don't you get out of the way."
"Fuck your mother's bullshit. Where did the little brat dare to come to the barracks to cause trouble? I'm so tired of living."
The leading sentry scolded him for a while, showing no mercy at all.
Although Jia Yun and the other three were riding tall horses, they were all in civilian clothes. Naturally, the captain of the sentry did not know their identities.
What's more, even if he is a general, he is not as good as their general, so there is no need to be afraid of him.
During the Great Qian Dynasty, garrison officials were set up. According to the importance of the garrisoned town and the number of troops stationed, there were different ranks of special city commanders. From high to low, they were staff generals, garrison generals, thousand generals, etc.
Yangzhou has a prosperous population and is an important commercial area. Naturally, it is not comparable to small towns and counties. The camp officer in Yangzhou camp is a military officer, a third-grade military attache, which is one grade higher than Jia Yun's military officer.
Jia Yun didn't waste any time. He raised his imperial envoy's badge and shouted: "I am here on an errand under the imperial envoy's order. Get out of the way quickly."
The captain of the sentry was startled when he heard this. He looked at the token carefully, looked suspicious, turned his head and asked the person next to him in a low voice: "Is that token real?"
The man looked even more puzzled and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "I've never seen Lao Shizi's imperial envoy token before. I don't know if it's true."
After hesitating for a moment, the man whispered: "How about I ask Master Du Wei for instructions?"
The sentry commander's face darkened. If the person in front of him was really a big shot, he would not be negligent. When he came back after asking for instructions, his own skin would be ripped off.
Although he had been on duty for a short time, there was no one in the world who dared to use the name of an imperial envoy. Jia Yun's confident appearance made him sure that this was the real deal.
At this time, the captain of the sentry hurriedly put on an apologetic look, and stepped forward and said: "You are a little blind, you don't know that your superiors are ahead, and you neglect your superiors. This is a small crime that deserves death."
Although the captain of the sentry acted according to the rules, this was no reason to be negligent towards his superiors, not to mention that he had been rude before. If the nobleman was indiscriminately angry with him, then there was nothing he could do about it, right?
He has been in the military camp for a long time, so he naturally knows how to make amends and sell off.
Jia Yun was noncommittal and showed no dissatisfaction, so he got off his horse and walked towards the camp gate, saying coldly: "Take me to see your general."
The captain of the sentry hesitated for a moment, feeling a little guilty, and said cautiously: "Sir, please let me report this."
Although I was sure in my heart that the identity of the visitor was genuine, everything could be unexpected, so it was better to be cautious.
Jia Yun stared at the captain of the sentry coldly, making the captain shudder. He immediately changed his words and said: "Please follow the younger ones."
Jia Yun snorted coldly, he didn't have time to wait outside.
As the captain of the sentry walked into the camp gate, behind the camp fence, a group of soldiers were on guard, gathered in small groups, whispering to each other.
Continuing to walk towards the main tent, I saw soldiers with lax military discipline along the way, and even vaguely heard the noisy sounds of people eating, drinking and gambling in some barracks.
Jia Yun couldn't help but frowned. This military discipline was loose and unruly. If the enemy were to attack, we might lose a lot of troops before we even put on the armor.
But after all, it was a local garrison, especially in the nearby prosperous Yangzhou, so it was not surprising that such a lack of military discipline occurred.
Not far from the main tent, Jia Yun and others were stopped. The visitor looked at Jia Yun and the others carefully. The leader angrily scolded the sentry leader and said in a cold voice: "Ma Wu, what do you do for food?
The military camp is an important place and outsiders are not allowed to enter. These things can't be done well. I don't want my head..."
Ma Wu also felt aggrieved. The uncle behind him was not something he could offend, and he couldn't stop him!
But he couldn't afford to offend the old man in front of him, so he smiled apologetically and said, "Sir Captain, this is the imperial envoy who sent you on an errand. I don't dare to neglect you."
"A person sent by the imperial envoy?" the captain murmured, obviously not knowing what the so-called imperial envoy did to come to their Yangzhou camp.
Jia Yun took out his token. The leader's expression changed when he saw this, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "I don't know that I am the superior, but I hope that the superior will forgive me."
Jia Yun responded, immediately took back the token and walked towards the big tent.
When the captain saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said cautiously: "My lord, the general has important matters at this time. Please let me go and report it."
Jia Yun raised his eyebrows. He had already been suspicious when he saw that there were no guards in front of the big tent door. Now someone came to stop him, which made it clear that there was something fishy.
"Go away." Jia Yun shouted coldly.
Jia Yun came to take over the Yangzhou camp, not to give them face.
The guards behind Jia Yun stepped forward and pushed these people away. Du Wei did not dare to argue with them and kept backing away, while Jia Yun walked towards the tent.
"My lord...my lord..."
Du Wei repeatedly stopped him, but he did not dare to step forward to stop him, nor did he dare to approach the tent. He could only shout behind him, hoping that Jia Yun would stop.
Jia Yun was too lazy to pay attention. He wanted to see what was hidden in the tent of the Yangzhou camp, so as to establish his authority.
When he walked to the tent door, Jia Yun heard intermittent breathing sounds, frowned, and suddenly had a guess in his heart.
Decisively reaching out to lift the curtain, Jia Yun walked straight in.
"ah……"
When Du Wei heard the shout in front of the tent, he couldn't help stroking his forehead and gasping for air... He murmured in his heart: "It's over..."
At this moment, in the big tent, on a tiger-skin chair, men were farming and women were weaving. Red military orders were placed on the table, pens, inks, paper, inkstones and other items and clothes were scattered on the floor.
Realizing that someone had barged in, the man in the chair suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and came to his senses. A look of anger appeared on the man's rough, bearded face, and he turned around and angrily shouted: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to do anything?"
When someone enters the tent, if some bastard breaks in, get out of here."
Jia Yun looked calm, glanced at the flushed woman, ignored it, and said calmly: "I have been ordered by the Imperial Envoy to take over the Yangzhou camp. General, please hand over your troop deployment token!"
The man was stunned for a while when he heard this. After seeing clearly the token in Jia Yun's hand, his gloomy expression immediately changed to a smile, and he hurriedly said: "Commander, please wait a moment."
Emperor Chongming had long ago ordered the imperial envoy to control the garrison in the south of the Yangtze River. The general of the Yangzhou camp knew about it. Now someone with the imperial envoy's order can naturally take over the Yangzhou camp.
Jia Yun stepped forward and sat aside, not caring at all about the spring scenery on the tiger-skin chair.
The man looked embarrassed and retreated from Wenwenxiang. He slapped the panicked woman hard. The woman understood and hurried forward to pick up her clothes. Seeing Jia Yun sitting under the tent, he hesitated for a moment and put it on in front of Jia Yun.
stand up.
After a while, the two of them were dressed neatly, and the woman hurriedly bowed and left in a hurry under the man's eyes. Jia Yun did not stop her.
The man stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Jia Qi, the general of the Yangzhou camp, has seen Shang Chao."
The general's surname is Jia, and he is also from the Jia tribe. He belongs to the twelfth room of the Jia family in Jinling. He is also the uncle of Jia Yun according to his seniority. It is said that he can become the general of the Yangzhou camp, in addition to some military strategies, he relies on
The remaining power of the Jia clan may have other help...
After a pause, Jia Ai explained: "The one just now was the lower official's concubine, which made the superior official laugh."
Jia Yun pursed his lips and said nothing. From the red thread tied on the woman's ankle, Jia Yun knew that she was not the concubine that Jia Ai said.
Those with red threads on their ankles must be from brothels.
It has become a custom for brothel women to tie red strings around their waists or ankles, and a tacit understanding has gradually formed between them and their clients. That is, if the way of tying the red strings is different from usual, it means that she is interested in the client and hopes that the client will
It can help you redeem yourself.
And the customer naturally understands the meaning. If the customer does not want to do this, then he will pretend that he has not seen it. If the customer also likes this brothel woman and is willing to redeem her body and take her away, then she can escape from this sea of misery.
If these brothel girls jump out of the brothel, they will cut the red thread around their waists to show that they have given everything they have and are determined to live a good life.
This is the so-called "tie the red thread when entering Taiwan, and cut the black hair when you are good".
Also, most of the brothel girls entered the brothel out of desperation, working in despicable jobs and with low social status, but they also have feelings and want to be respected by people in their hearts.
, so they will tie a red line around their waist or ankles as their final bottom line, indicating that they are not naked and still have their last bit of dignity.
There is no need to say who the woman is with a red thread tied around her ankle. Jia Yun is also a frequent visitor to brothels, how could she not know.
Jia Yun also understood Jia Ai's explanation.
According to the laws of the Qian Dynasty: "Anyone who sleeps with prostitutes will be said to be guilty of dirty behavior and will be dismissed from office."
Month, one hundred rods. If the menstrual period lasts for a long time, the rod cannot be used, and the rod flow is committed again. If the person receives the property of a prostitute, he will still be treated as a false plan and the stolen goods will be severely punished."
Jia Ai not only engaged in prostitution, but also secretly brought women into the military camp. According to the law, his crime was increased by one level and he should be severely punished.
However, although prostitution is strictly prohibited by law, in fact, it is an unspoken rule for officials to have prostitutes in the officialdom. Isn't this clear evidence from the Jiaofangsi in the capital and the prostitutes in the military camp?
Generally speaking, no one would talk about this kind of thing openly. After all, this kind of thing is in the public interest.
As the emperor, Emperor Chongming also knew about this matter. As long as he did not commit the crime openly, Emperor Chongming would pretend to be confused.
This kind of thing is like Jia Yun's sales kickback in his previous life. I wonder which boss doesn't know about it. As long as he doesn't do too much, he won't turn a blind eye.
When Jia Yun was in the border army, he saw a lot of this kind of thing, and he also had sex with prostitutes. Because of this, Jia Yun did not make a fuss about this matter.
People who break the rules often end up with a disastrous fate. Unless this person is the person designated by the higher authorities to be dealt with, otherwise senior officials will not use this kind of thing as a means to exclude dissidents. It will be a thankless result.
We are all men. If you attack others with this matter today, others will attack you with this matter tomorrow.
Of course, in every era there will be some stupid people...
Jia Yun said calmly: "General Jia, I have no interest in taking care of your family affairs.
To be continued...
