Chapter 1065 Ji Zijuan quietly stuffed people in
In response to Feng Ziying's performance, Emperor Yonglong's grudge disappeared immediately.
After all, you are still a little guy, and you have not yet learned how those old guys can calmly and calmly give you a lot of justified excuses, which is good.
In fact, Emperor Yonglong didn't care about this. Whether it was Feng Ziying's sophistry or his euphemistic explanation, it was all within reason. Who would be willing to admit his selfish thoughts? Isn't this a kind of disloyalty to the emperor and the court?
But Feng Ziying's half-covered admission is in line with Emperor Yonglong's view of Feng Ziying.
Doesn’t hide her true desires, but she also knows how to advance and retreat in a measured way. Just like the outside world said that Feng Ziying has the disease of being a widower and is lustful and greedy. Is this worthy of criticism?
It is normal to be talented, well-known in the capital, and suave, isn't this normal?
Have you ever been criticized by the imperial censor for lingering in the flower streets and willow lanes, or having an affair with a married woman? What does it mean to have taken a female Hu sister as a concubine and asked for a beautiful maidservant from the whole family to be your own?
I'm afraid people are happy to see the results.
What girl wouldn’t want to meet such a young civil servant who is top-notch in terms of reputation, talent, and family background, and who has an infinitely bright future? What family wouldn't be happy?
Of course, Emperor Yonglong also knew that his gift of three bedrooms and a house must have added icing on the cake or added fuel to the fire of Feng Ziying's romantic story, making his talent and romantic reputation go hand in hand. This will become a story worth writing in the history books in the future. .
"Okay, I also know that Feng Qing is not the kind of person who doesn't know what's important and what's important. Your father should be the same way. Tell me how confident you are. I heard that the Ministry of War has not received any news from Li Ruzhang's Ministry." Emperor Yonglong Feeling free, he leaned on the throne and said leisurely.
"Back to Your Majesty, I and the generals have carefully discussed the matter of going out to Xifengkou to reinforce Cao's village. He Huchen's tribe, one of the original five military camps, was the one who led the troops in the battle of Santun Camp. The troops who broke out of the encirclement also strongly requested to join the expedition north to Xifengkou to reinforce Cao's village, and their morale was good. However, I considered that the fighting spirit of the fifth army camp was greatly reduced after this battle, although He Huchen's troops seemed to be in trouble. Knowing shame and then being brave, I still didn't dare to agree, and I also had a battalion of Jizhen Army stationed in Taipingzhai, so I mobilized the elites from various ministries to form such an army. Soldiers are expensive but not expensive. Although the number is There are not many, but almost all of them are the ones who can jump out and fight best in the entire Yongping Mansion, and the small number of people can also reduce the pressure on logistical supplies,..."
Feng Ziying spoke eloquently, "I believe that such an army can achieve our goals, but the entrance to Xifeng Mountain is the Yanshan Mountains. The march may be difficult and time-consuming, but I believe that in these few days News should come in the next few days. By then, Li Ruzhang's troops and Huang Degong's troops will be able to return to Gubeikou and recapture the Chaohe River. The Khalkha stabbed him in the back.
Although I know that Feng Ziying's words are somewhat exaggerated, Li Ruzhang's tribe and Huang Degong's tribe only have more than 10,000 people together. How can they pose much of a threat to the one or two million Mongolian army? But Emperor Yonglong still liked hearing such encouraging words.
At least they are not like those people in the DPRK and China who know nothing about the current situation on both sides, but they are more talkative than anyone else. They talk alarmistly all day long, lamenting that the Mongols may repeat the siege of Beijing after the Tumu Fort Incident in the Ming Dynasty. This scene made Emperor Yonglong extremely annoyed every day.
"Well, Feng Qing, I was greatly disappointed with the performance of the Beijing camp in the battle of Santun camp. I didn't expect that the general you mentioned wanted to avenge his shame. What is the situation of this general named He?" Yonglong The emperor was very interested in the military general in the Beijing camp mentioned by Feng Ziying who wanted to join the reinforcement of Cao's village. He had no impression of such an ambitious military general. Most of them were not high-level, and most likely they were not from martial arts backgrounds.
"Is the emperor talking about He Huchen? He is the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army Battalion and is affiliated with the Department of General Qi Jianyao." Feng Ziying knew that he had successfully aroused the interest of Emperor Yonglong, which was also his purpose of mentioning He Huchen, "This is He was born in a military household in Baoding, and entered the Shenji camp after passing the Wu Jinshi examination. He is quite brave, but due to the chronic illness caused by years of pampering in the Beijing camp, he can only go with the flow. This time he heard that I intend to use troops to reinforce Li Ruzhang Ministry, that’s why he wanted to make meritorious service and atone for his sins,..."
When Emperor Yonglong heard Feng Ziying's introduction to He Huchen's situation, he felt a little disappointed. The level of the boss was too low. But then he thought about it, wasn't this the case in all the capital camps? The good positions were all occupied by those martial arts disciples. Naturally, it was not the turn of these talented people who were either from real military backgrounds or as Martial Scholars, so they secretly remembered this name.
If the Beijing Camp is to be rebuilt in the future, this person is a character that can be reused. As long as he is promoted out of the ordinary, and he is not a disciple of Wu Xun or a Wu Jinshi, he is simply the best general, and he can naturally use him as his own.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Beijing camp was only defeated in the east and west parts of Santunying City. It was not completely wiped out by the Neikalkha and Horqin coalition forces. Therefore, there were actually many defeated troops who escaped. When I left Yongping Mansion, Nearly 20,000 soldiers have arrived in Yongping one after another. It is logical that they should go to Zunhua to find Jizhen. I also asked them, probably because they are afraid that Zunhua will have a war with the Mongols, so most of them They all chose to flee to Yongping. As for the brave warriors that your Majesty mentioned, I can’t comment much..."
Feng Ziying pretended to be trying to remember.
"But when I left, there seemed to be another Yang Zhaoji who had just come with Han Shangyu and Master Han. It seemed that he had some background. It is said that he brought a soldier to fight to the death with the Mongolian cavalry and fought several times. Only by retreating can Master Han and his party be able to escape..."
Yang Zhaoji is indeed a talent. He can organize and break up the rear even when the defeat is inevitable. He even staged an ambush after the defeat and launched a beautiful counterattack. Although it did not achieve much results due to lack of troops, But he still successfully blocked the opponent's intention to follow and kill him, which was quite rare in the Beijing camp.
Before leaving, Feng Ziying also listed Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen as the seed players to be selected for the reorganization of the Beijing Camp Escape Squadron. It depends on whether they can achieve something during this period of time, and then they will be given a good fortune.
Yang Zhaoji, Emperor Yonglong silently remembered this name again, but he did not ask about the person's birth identity again, as that would have been too revealing.
All he had to do was come down and let Lu Song check, and he would know the basic situation of He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji. They were already military attachés in the Beijing camp. If they were really not martial arts disciples and had certain talents, he would naturally not hesitate to promote them for his own use.
Feng Ziying can now roughly figure out some of Emperor Yonglong's thoughts.
As for the Beijing camp, Emperor Yonglong has realized that even if he is the emperor, it is impossible to completely abolish such a force.
Not to mention that the guard of the capital city itself requires a huge armed force. This is a traditional regulation. Even though this huge armed force may become corrupted and degenerate over time, and its combat effectiveness will gradually fade away, as long as a hundred thousand people It is indispensable to put it there to give comfort to the millions of people in the capital city and even the capital, and to give psychological comfort to the dignitaries and high-ranking families in the capital.
Not to mention the two to three hundred thousand soldiers and their families behind this force living inside and outside the capital.
This is also a force that cannot be ignored. It may not have much impact in other places, but they live in the capital city, and most of them live in the capital city. Once their interests are harmed, they cannot be underestimated, even for certain people. To this extent, it can coerce public opinion.
Now what Emperor Yonglong has to do is to do two things. One is to seize control of the capital camp through various means. This does not involve ordinary soldiers, but mainly military officers. Now the Inner Khalkha people have captured these people. The second is to re-enhance the combat effectiveness of this army, but this cannot be achieved in a short time, and it is not even the most urgent. It is far inferior to the former.
As long as there is only this decisive armed force in the capital city, whoever controls it will have the absolute initiative.
So, the few hundred people in Zaisai’s hands are very critical.
Feng Ziying guessed something, but she also knew that Emperor Yonglong would never be able to tell him, and he only needed his ministers to figure it out for themselves.
"The Inner Khalkha people are good collaborators. They are hostile to the Jurchens in Jianzhou, and at the same time they are not willing to surrender to the Chahar people. Their geographical location is just north of the Chahar people, and the Outer Khalkha people are To the east of the people, to the west of Jianzhou Jurchen, it can even connect to the East China Sea Jurchen, so the existence of such a collaborator is extremely valuable."
Feng Ziying patiently introduced to Emperor Yonglong why she was willing to negotiate with the Inner Khalkha people and even expressed her intention to form an alliance.
"The Horqin people are very dangerous. Intelligence from various channels shows that they are actively colluding with the Donglu. Once the two sides form an alliance, the Yehe tribe and the Ula tribe sandwiched between them will be very dangerous. Therefore, this attitude of the Horqin people must be resolutely curbed. , Fortunately, the southern invasion of the Inner Khalkha and Horqin coalition forces has greatly improved Zaisai's prestige. The Inner Khalkha people can exert greater pressure on the Horqin people. Zaisai and I have said that if necessary, Liaodong , the Yehe tribe and the five inner Khalkha tribes can join forces at all costs to completely dismember the Horqin people. In short, the Jianzhou Jurchens must not be allowed to easily reach into the grasslands of Eastern Mongolia..."
