Chapter 1044: B-Scroll Cultivation
Feng Ziying did not expect Beijing Camp to fight a real war. That was unrealistic. It was simply to die. However, the most important thing was to let the Ministry of War and the court see that the soldiers in Beijing Camp were not in despair, but that there were still unyielding soldiers. important.
He Huchen's eyes showed gratitude. He understood what the other party meant. This was not to win the war, but to get rid of the shadow of failure and prepare for his future survival in the Beijing camp.
As long as he "chooses the opportunity to fight" and fights well, the imperial court and the Ministry of War will naturally give him generous praise. The collapse of the entire Beijing camp is not in line with the imperial court's intentions.
Feng Ziying also knew that Emperor Yonglong only wanted to completely replace the control of the middle and upper-class Wu Xun children in the Beijing camp, rather than really dismantling the Beijing camp. So a martial artist like He Huchen, a child of a poor military family, was born. , and has a good record, he will undoubtedly be the first choice for promotion in the future, which is what Feng Ziying is happy to see.
Standing up respectfully, He Huchen raised his glass with both hands and bowed, "Sir, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness..."
"Brother Huchen, why is this so? You and I hit it off as soon as we saw it. My father and I have always been very fond of Wu Jinshi, who is good at literature and martial arts. I forced him to study in Kunshan when I was in Linqing. I just hope that even if he can't read, he can still take the path of becoming a martial arts scholar. Who would have thought that this kid would quietly join the army after two years in school, and I didn't know until he came back."
Feng Ziying did not hide her relationship with Zuo Liangyu from He Huchen. In fact, it was not a secret.
He Huchen had also long known the "legendary" story of the encounter between Zuo Liangyu and Feng Ziying, and he quite recognized and praised Feng Ziying.
In his opinion, Feng Ziying, a descendant of an official and Wu Xun, valued a poor and humble friend so much and gave him all kinds of help. It can be said that Feng Ziying values love and righteousness. As for Zuo Liangyu's surrender to the army, it was his own choice, and now Zuo Liangyu Liangyu also did well in Liaodong Town.
"Brother, He Renlong was also a martial arts scholar. It is said that the Governor admired him very much when he was in Yulin and worked hard to train him. Now he has become a strong man in our Liaodong Town." Zuo Liangyu also joined in the fun and pretended to sigh, " It’s a pity that I’m not good at studying, so I can only gain fame by fighting in battle.”
"There is no need to belittle oneself in Kunshan. Whether you are a martial arts scholar or a military family, in the end, your performance on the battlefield will speak for itself." What’s the point of being a Wu Jinshi? It’s better to go to the Liaodong border and fight, and you can enjoy your life happily.”
"Brother Huchen, you are belittling yourself." Feng Ziying shook her head, "The Jingying camp and the border army have their own responsibilities. Of course, in terms of morale and combat effectiveness, this is the foundation of the army. There is no doubt that the Jingying camp has been doing well over the years. It is indeed disappointing, but after this war, the imperial court will definitely reorganize the capital camp. This is an opportunity for ambitious people like Brother Huchen, so I hope that Brother Huchen can get into the state as soon as possible and put these thousands of people first. The remaining soldiers were collected and reorganized..."
"grown ups,…"
“Brother Huchen, we are friends, and it would be awkward to call me sir. Why don’t you just call me Ziying...” Feng Ziying said with enthusiasm.
"How did this happen?" He Huchen was surprised. He did not mention the gap between the two, but the difference between civil servants and military officers. He was not considered a family friend of the other party, so it would be a bit rude to call him by his first name.
“Well, if Brother Huchen feels that it’s inappropriate to be in front of others, as long as you and I are here, we can address each other by our first names. That’s okay, right?” Feng Ziying pretended to be displeased.
He really wanted to make friends with He Huchen. It was not easy to have such an outstanding talent in a quagmire like Jingying. Moreover, after being in contact with him for so long, he also felt that He Huchen had a rather upright temperament. Compared with Zuo Liangyu, The boy is more upright and frank, and he is a person worth getting to know.
He Huchen was greatly moved.
In the Beijing camp, most of the military generals and officers who were born from military families were arrogant and aloof. They mostly formed independent parties and were reluctant to interact with these officers who came from military families. That was Qi Jianyao. There are not many people with such a peaceful attitude.
And Feng Ziying was not only born in martial arts, but her father was the governor of Jiliao, making her a real top noble in the Great Zhou Dynasty. She was also a real Jinshi and a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and now she is the youngest person in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was a fifth-grade civil servant who had even met the emperor several times. He was well-known all over the world, but he was so kind and honest in his treatment of others, and he spared no effort in planning for himself. How could He Huchen not shed tears of gratitude?
Feng Ziying felt that it was really fate that she came to Yongping Mansion to be a fellow acquaintance. Huang Degong, Hou Chengzu, and He Huchen were all very courageous people. They became acquainted with each other, which was considered a close relationship.
Originally, I graduated from Qingtan Academy, and most of my friends were civil servants. Even the famous Sun Chuanting was also a civil servant. Now he is just his younger brother. But now, Zuo Liangyu needless to say, he also has some impressions of Huang Degong, Jiangbei He was the leader of the four towns, typical warriors, and he could also feel that Hou Chengzu and He Huchen had some background, but the opportunity had not come yet.
It's too early to talk about future fortunes, but he believes that these young generals who are so close to each other have such a friendship, and if he can provide them with some opportunities and help, he will definitely give these people a better platform to make fortunes. It's the right time for the fish to leap and transform into a dragon.
With Feng Ziying's suggestion and support, He Huchen quickly selected more than a thousand soldiers from the Beijing camp who had fled to Qian'an, plus the remaining two thousand of his own troops. In this way, he formed a battalion. The Shenji Camp was rebuilt.
However, the fire cannons in the Shenji Camp are all old-fashioned fire cannons. Although they are slightly better than the three-eyed fire cannons that have been eliminated, they are obviously different from the fire cannons of Zuo Liangyu's tribe. However, this can only be the case for now. , Feng Ziying also helped him replenish gunpowder, and these people were trained in the army under the brainwashing and encouragement of Feng Ziying and He Huchen.
However, He Huchen's troops have not trained the Beijing camp according to the method taught by Feng Ziying. After all, it takes a lot of time, and the main purpose in this situation is to leave a good impression on the court and the Ministry of War. To be precise, it is more of a show. big
Similarly, Zuo Liangyu also selected the best from the fleeing refugees and added them to his own battalion to strengthen training. His battalion completely followed Feng Ziying's military training method.
According to Feng Ziying's assumption, it is unlikely that Yongping Prefecture will retain such a so-called Yongping New Army, which is inconsistent with the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, after this battle, the entire Ji Town suffered heavy losses and must be rebuilt and replenished. In fact, Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu can stay in Ji Town with their military exploits, be promoted to the first level and take charge of a battalion, and start to build a fire gun battalion for Ji Town. strength.
Although this will weaken Dad's Liaodong Town to a certain extent, it can consolidate Dad's control over Ji Town.
Besides, Liaodong Town already has several battalions of new fire gun troops, so replenishing them is not a problem. On the contrary, because Ji Town does not have a foundation for the new fire gun army, it can expand rapidly with the strength of the two battalions of Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu as seeds. .
Today, Feng Ziying feels more and more that it is very appropriate for her and her father to belong to the civil and military classes, and the identity of Wu Xun has not only eliminated the disadvantages because of her career as a civil servant, but also enabled her to better contact and make friends. The disadvantages of being a martial artist turned into advantages, which was unexpected even by his own father.
Zhu Zhiren was very satisfied with the current situation, especially after learning the news that the coalition forces of Inner Khalkha and Horqin might be about to withdraw. He liked it so much that he didn't even sleep well.
To be honest, after the battle of Qian'an, although Zhu Zhiren was excited about the victory, he was still worried in his heart.
Winning the Qian'an Defense War is certainly a political achievement, but if the Mongols continue to attack, Lulong can certainly hold it, but Luanzhou and Changli are just papery surfaces. Once they are exposed, the glory in front will be wiped out. , as a prefect, there will be no good results.
But now Feng Ziying has made peace with the Mongols, and has also obtained the approval of the Ministry of War. It can be said that as long as the Mongols really retreat, her tenure as the prefect of Yongping Prefecture will be considered complete, and her promotion after the new year will be certain. The only thing is to consider where to go, but no matter what, the court should give itself a good position.
“Ziying, I wonder when the Mongolians will return to the grassland?” Zhu Zhiren smacked his lips with a smile on his face. The more he looked at Feng Ziying, the more pleasing he became to his eyes.
Before Feng Ziying came, he was a little disgusted. He always felt that such a well-known but not necessarily very capable guy would cause a lot of trouble for him if he came to the place to practice.
But now it seems that this guy is really his lucky star. Not only has he resolved the catastrophe that almost ended his career, he has also been able to gain political achievements and be promoted smoothly.
"Fu Zun, it's not so fast. The messenger to the imperial court has already gone. I guess there will be a reply in the next two days, right? But please don't worry, Fu Zun. The Nei Khalkha and Horqin coalition forces have no motivation to continue fighting. "
Feng Ziying let out a sigh of relief. This is really not something to be proud of, but the reality is like this. He has achieved a victory of more than 50,000 prisoners, so he should gain something.
