The head of the Red Mansion

Go to Fuyu?
Is this an attempt to wipe out their entire family?
Shen Ning's lips twitched slightly, and she was about to say something when a commotion came from outside. A moment later, Jia Lian came in, carrying a long, revolving spear wrapped in cloth, looking menacing.

"Aunt, Second Aunt, Father, Brother Zhen, Brother Zhu!"

Jia Lian was handsome and usually displayed the air of a noble young master when bowing, but today…

Just as Jia She was about to ask what you were carrying, his sister-in-law spoke up, "Is it finished?"

"It's finished."

Jia Lian glanced at Suo Jin and Tie Bao, then untied the gun cloth. "Auntie hasn't seen its power yet. How about I demonstrate it for you?"

how is it?

That would be excellent.

Shen Ning smiled, and this time it was a genuine smile.

She delayed for so long hoping that the Emperor or Jia Lian would remember the gun.

The experienced craftsmen at the Weaponry Bureau weren't that incompetent. Besides, all the parts of this gun were standardized, and each person was in charge of one part, so they could assemble one quickly.

She wasn't afraid of facing Suo Jin and Tie Bao alone; what she feared was that the emperor wouldn't be supportive.

In this era, anything done without the emperor's support would inevitably be much less effective.

Although the Jurchens committed countless blood feuds against the Central Plains, there must have been scholar-officials in the court who were extremely morally upright and even considered themselves saints, who spoke up for them.

Therefore, it's unrealistic to seek revenge or to want to cause a bloodbath on their side.

Shen Ning could only use the revolver to make these people fear and submit on their own.

If they behave themselves, it's not impossible to designate an area where they can live peacefully.

"Of course!"

Shen Ning glanced at Suo Jin and Tie Bao, "You two should also take a look at the new firearms from our Great Zhao."

"...Thank you very much!"

Suo Jin and Tie Bao exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of anticipation.

Now that they are standing with the Great Zhao, they naturally hope that the Great Zhao's firearms can overwhelm the Russians' firearms.

If the Great Zhao also loses... they will lose even their ancestral land.

Where can we retreat to then?

The two tried to ignore the unfriendly glint in Jia Lian's eyes when he looked at them.

Before long, Woch, covered in wounds, was carried to the backyard wrapped in a thick blanket.

This person cannot die yet.

Since he can't die, let him be afraid!
Whether in ancient or modern times, it's always the case that whoever has the bigger fist is right.

Thump thump~~
Thump thump thump~~~
Six consecutive slaps. Although it seemed that Jia Lian's arm and hand were somewhat uncoordinated after the blows, it was clear that this person had never practiced martial arts. If it were a martial artist or a soldier who received regular training...

Suo Jin and Tie Bao, each with their own army, were greatly alarmed.

They were shocked that Da Zhao possessed such formidable firearms, and that the spies infiltrated here were unaware of it. They were even more shocked that the six-shot rifle was wielded by Jia Lian.

Woocher, wrapped in a thick blanket, had initially thought that revenge was a dish best served cold, but now...

"You two have seen the new muskets of my Great Zhao Dynasty. What do you think they would do against the Rakshasa?"

Shen Ning was very satisfied with Jia Lian's performance.

"Haha~"

Suo Jin swallowed all his resentment, his body even a little weaker than before. When he replied, he bowed slightly, "The Rakshasa people will undoubtedly be defeated by such firearms."

"Then... what about facing your most elite Eight Banners soldiers?"

Shen Ning's smile faded, and she looked directly at the two of them.

"Hehe, Mrs. Shen is joking."

Suo Jin and Tie Bao broke out in a cold sweat under her gaze. "We are already subjects of the Great Zhao."

"A subordinate official?"

Shen Ning's voice trailed off slightly, "My father once held the position of Grand Secretary, and I also studied history books extensively in my youth. If I remember correctly, during the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty, in order to suppress the remnants of the Northern Yuan forces, the Liaodong Commandery was established. Menggetemur of the Jianzhou tribe was the Left Commander of the Jianzhou Guard of the Ming Dynasty?"

"..."

"..."

Suo Jin and Tie Bao exchanged a glance, both feeling heavy-hearted.

Because the Timur she was referring to was their ancestor, the sixth-generation ancestor of Nurhaci, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

hiss~
What does this woman want to do?
"They say a gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years!"

Shen Ning didn't explain herself very clearly.

But a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, so what about the revenge for a nation?

"I hope you two will consider this carefully and send my two nephews and nieces to the capital."

If you can't tame a child, you can throw him away.

It doesn't matter where it is, as long as it's not thrown back into the same place.

"Once it's delivered, there are some things... we can discuss them in more detail later."

Shen Ning flicked her sleeves and turned to her own side, "Zhen'er, Lian'er, you two go with the ministers to transport the silver into the palace and tell the Emperor that when the Great Zhao was founded, everything was in ruins and needed to be rebuilt. The Martyrs' Cemetery that your great-grandfather and your great-grandfather wanted to build in various places now has the silver."

"Yes!"

The two brothers exchanged a glance, without the slightest delay.

When the clan elders who had been summoned saw the two million taels of silver being transported away, it would be a lie to say they weren't heartbroken.

But the Martyrs' Cemetery!
They could only put on a serious face and purse their lips.

The children from the school all glanced at Suo Jin and Tie Bao more than once.

Even Woch, lying on the bench, was so much so that people wanted to cover their heads and faces with a blanket.

In the past, the Han people and they had a blood feud.

Woch forgot the pain in his body; all he felt in his heart and eyes was fear.

He felt that he and Jia Wen could never go back to the way things were before.

Even if he recovers from his injuries, if he dares to lay a finger on Jia Wen... he will surely face a storm of retribution.

"correct!"

Just as Shen Ning was about to cross the courtyard gate, she seemed to remember something. "Since you want to marry the Rong Kingdom princess of my Great Zhao, you should take a look at the ancestral precepts of our founding emperor."

Now she is all smiles again. "The founding emperor left a message in his ancestral instructions: the lessons of the previous dynasty are there. The Great Zhao will not allow anyone who submits to the emperor to survive."

"..."

"..."

Suo Jin and Tie Bao were drenched in cold sweat.

The Jia family members had all left, the Imperial Guards had left, and all the servants who had been joining in the fun in the courtyard had also left.

them……

“Send a message to the tribe!” Looking at the wood chips from the six-shot blast, Suo Jin seemed to have aged more than ten years. “Write down everything that happened today, in detail.”

There are many things that he and Tie Bao cannot decide.

"……it is good!"

As Tie Bao dragged his heavy steps past the spot where his brother Woh lay, he didn't even glance at him.

Six months ago, when the Russians were suffering repeated defeats, this guy ran around offering his services, hoping to get reinforcements from the Great Zhao with Jia Wen's help.

ho~
Now there are reinforcements, but they...

He was writing furiously, and after a long while, he finally finished. Just as he was about to call for the gyrfalcon, the curator of the meeting hall rushed in. "Your Highness, several senior officials from the Ministry of War have arrived. Please go and greet them with the old prince."

Tie Bao: "..."

Was the owner of this museum really that bold when he spoke to him before?

He glanced over and noticed that the old man hadn't even bent over.

It wasn't like this before.

"Wait a moment, I will go right away."

As he put the letter away and strode out, Suo Jin was also called out of the room by the staff of the meeting hall.

At the same time, the emperor also learned from his secret guards what had happened at the meeting place.

He was so excited that he was less concerned about the two million taels of silver he was about to receive.

The Martyrs' Cemetery!

It should be built!

Emperor Taizu had this idea back then, but he didn't have the money.

This has been put on hold for so many years!

"Mr. Liu, do you think Suo Jin and his men will behave themselves after seeing the revolver?"

"...Whether I will behave in the future, I don't know, but I will definitely behave now."

Liu Zhi's mind was still buried in the contracts, and for every point of doubt, he would mark it on the map.

"They can't beat the Russians, and after seeing our six-shot revolver, they know they can't beat us either. What can they do if they don't behave themselves?"

"Then what do you think of what Madam Shen said..."

"You can try it!"

Liu Zhi raised his head and said, "Our Great Zhao Dynasty wants to surpass the previous dynasty and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty. It would be best to start from here."

Take them in.

What kind of bullshit prince is he?
Are they worthy?

"We have that strength now."

……

Shen Ning also felt that Da Zhao had the strength to do so.

Although it's true that you should eat one bite at a time, but...

"When the Great Zhao restores the Han dynasty, it shouldn't be called aid, it should be called recovery!"

She was still very bold in front of the Empress, saying, "Now that we have won over the Jurchens, whom all the Tatar tribes wanted to win over, it's their turn next."

Her heart is very, very big.

It was so big that she couldn't even hug it herself.

Once they get started and taste the benefits, the emperor and the officials in the court will help them.

"...I hope so!"

The Queen was also deeply shaken today.

She felt that there was a fierce tiger living in the heart of this Sister Shen.

Emperor Xuan of Han said: "Wherever the sun and moon shine, that is Han territory; wherever the rivers flow, that is Han territory."

Chen Tang also said: Those who offend the mighty Han, no matter how far away they are, shall be punished.

Both of them were highly regarded by Emperor Taizu and the former crown prince.

The Crown Prince gave the Emperor many books, and during those years, she read them with him, each time feeling excited and inspired.

"Sister, you've worked hard today. What about the Martyrs' Cemetery..."

The Empress thought for a moment, "His Majesty may summon the people from the two palaces later."

This money was obtained in the name of the Jia family, after all.

There may be nothing else, but the Jia family should have a share in the supervision of the construction.

"Zhen'er is still in mourning."

Since they've already given it away so generously, it's best for the Jia family not to get involved.

"Let's see what the Emperor says about this later!"

The Empress looked at her with even more admiration in her eyes.

Many years ago, the Crown Prince also wanted to build a martyrs' park.

Unfortunately, the national treasury was always short of silver.

The retired emperor also liked to go out.

Now that the Emperor is able to build martyrs' cemeteries in various places, I imagine the Emperor must be extremely pleased.

"It's getting late, and Xiao Yue'er is probably still waiting at home, so I won't keep you any longer, sister."

"Don't dare!"

Shen Ning looked tired and just wanted to go home.

Suojin and Tiebao had ruled their own territories for many years and had fought many battles with Dazhao. Subduing them would not be an easy task for her.

The best thing is that Jia Lian arrived in time.

Ultimately, it comes down to fists.

"I'm leaving now!"

"I'll take my sister."

The Empress personally escorted him out of Kunning Palace.

Not far away, Jia Wen had just changed her clothes and came over. She thanked the Empress first, and then said with a smile, "I'll see my sister-in-law out of the palace."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Princess."

The Empress was very perceptive; she knew that the sisters-in-law had a lot to say, so she specifically signaled to the palace servants to keep their distance.

"Sister-in-law, of the three children, I only want He Zhuo."

After witnessing the power of that gun, Jia Wen felt more confident about her future. She was initially hesitant, wondering if Woch could send all three children over, but after thinking it over, she realized it was unrealistic.

"If Voch mentions the child again, please ask me for He Zhuo." (End of Chapter)
