Chapter 1095 The Geng character scroll is too complicated
It was already Chenzheng when I left the Ministry of War.
Since it was basically confirmed that the attack was caused by thousands of cavalrymen from the Horqin people, most of the worries in the heads of the Ministry of War were relieved. The scouts were still conducting reconnaissance, but Feng Ziying did not think there would be any surprises.
As for other military matters, although Feng Ziying's judgment is very accurate, she is not from the Ministry of War after all, and people like Yang Sichang and Zheng Chongjian are also eager to try, hoping to show their talents in future wars. Feng Ziying also wants to give guidance here. It was a bit inappropriate, so Feng Ziying left voluntarily and knowingly. As for the cabinet, there was no need for any further explanation.
Zheng Chongjian sent Feng Ziying to the door of the public house. Seeing that Zheng Chongjian was in a trance, Feng Ziying felt strange and said, "Dazhang, what's the matter? Are you restless?"
“Oh, Ziying, it’s nothing, maybe I’m a little paranoid.” Zheng Chongjian forced a smile, but Feng Ziying didn’t let it go.
He knows that Zheng Chongjian is not as impetuous as Chen Qiyu, nor as radical and sharp as Yang Sichang, nor as decisive as Wang Yingxiong. He has a relatively calm and conservative temperament. If he feels that something is wrong, he will definitely question.
“What’s wrong, tell me, don’t you believe me?” Feng Ziying walked to the door while holding on to the other party’s shoulders.
"Well, actually there's nothing to say. Feixiong didn't come today. You also know that he may be going to Sichuan soon. Mr. Sun took a step ahead and he went back to prepare." Zheng Chongjian shook his head, "I am mainly responsible for Shuntian Mansion now. From the intelligence collection, compilation and analysis here, I always feel that there is something amiss with the Xuanfu Army and Datong Army in Changping..."
"Not normal? What's not normal?" Feng Ziying became serious.
"The Jizhen Army guards from Changping to Shunyi and then to Pinggu, and even takes charge of the Sanhe and Jizhou lines east of Pinggu. However, the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army have come in with more than 80,000 people, but they are all huddled in the Changping Prefecture line. , as far as I know, this front is facing the Outer Khalkha people, whose strength is far inferior to the Chahar people, but the Ministry of War is indifferent, and even decided to continue to maintain the status quo, but in this way, the front of the Ji Zhen Army seems a bit weak. , once it is broken through by the Chahar people, it will cause great passivity..."
Zheng Chongjian’s words stopped Feng Ziying.
He did not expect Zheng Chongjian to ask this.
Of course he knew the whole story, but he was thinking about whether he could tell the other party.
If it were Chen Qiyu or Yang Sichang, Feng Ziying would not consider it in the exam, and would definitely pass it by. Of course, Yang Sichang must know the secret, and there is no need to ask himself. Chen Qiyu's impetuous temperament is not that close to himself, so he will not tell.
If it were Lian Guoshi, Xu Qixun or Fang Youdu, Feng Ziying would also tell the truth, but the close relationship between Zheng Chongjian and himself was between Xu Qixun, Fang Youdu, Chen Qiyu, Fu Zonglong, and Song Shixiang, and the same as Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Wang Yingxiong. , Wu Zong, they are similar in that they are relatively close, but they have not yet reached the point where they can confide in each other.
However, after thinking for a while, Feng Ziying still felt that it would be better to make it clear with the other party.
Zheng Chongjian has a good character, and he and I have the experience of going to Ningxia and Gansu to fight rebellions. He, Sun Chuanting, and Wang Yingxiong are all very talented in the military field. I am afraid that I will rely a lot on military affairs in the future. This opportunity to further strengthen the relationship is also appropriate.
“Dazhang, don’t ask about this situation, and don’t tell the two adults.” Feng Ziying said calmly.
“Huh?” Zheng Chongjian looked at Feng Ziying with a puzzled expression.
Feng Ziying sighed, "Dazhang, who will lead the Datong Army and the Xuanfu Army?"
Zheng Chongjian still didn’t understand: “Niu Jizong, the governor of Xuanda.”
“Where did the Outer Khalkha people break in? Whose responsibility is it?” Feng Ziying asked again.
“Shu Zhou Gou, Sihai Zhi,…” Zheng Chongjian’s face changed slightly, “You mean Niu Jizong…?”
"I didn't say anything, I just stated the facts. The Outer Khalkha people broke in from Yanqing. As the governor of Xuanda, Niu Jizong, the Ministry of War had long ordered him to strengthen defense and be more vigilant. He ignored it, which caused the Western Front to be torn apart. , the entire center line is passive, he has no responsibility?”
“It seems that there was a censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate who tried to suppress the bullets, but they suppressed them very quickly...” Zheng Chongjian seemed to have some realization, but his face became increasingly ugly.
"Yeah, when do you think our censors in the Imperial Zhou Dynasty became so easy to talk to? Are their bones no longer strong?" Feng Ziying smiled, "Who can be so capable of suppressing this matter?"
Zheng Chongjian remained silent. Neither the cabinet nor the emperor had the ability to do so. This would only happen if all parties reached a tacit understanding.
How can this happen?
Niu Jizong is just a governor, let alone a military attache. Even if something happens to the elder, the censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate will still insist on it. Isn't this kind of thing rare?
"Dazhang, you may have vaguely heard of some things, or you may not understand. What is Niu Jizong's origin? Wu Xun, after Zhenguo Gong, the four princes, eight princes and twelve princes, these are the top honors of our great Zhou Dynasty. Our descendants, in this army, be it the Nine Borders, the three major camps of the Beijing Camp, the Warriors Camp, the Four Guards Camp, or the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, which place is not filled with these martial arts disciples?"
Feng Ziying said it very casually, but hearing it in Zheng Chongjian's ears sent chills down his spine. He said in a harsh voice: "Ziying, your Feng family is also a martial artist, right?"
"Yes, our Feng family is also a martial artist, but we can't be assigned a title among these four princes, eight princes, and twelve princes. Our ancestor is only an uncle of Yunchuan, and later he was lost for some unknown reason. The prince of Hulun is also My uncle paid for it with his life, saving the current emperor and King Zhongshun. It has nothing to do with the Twelve Marquises. The return of the title of Uncle Yunchuan is probably because the emperor felt that my father had been guarding the border for many years, and my second uncle also died of illness and took office. He gave me some comfort. That’s all,…”
Feng Ziying raised her head slightly, "Although our Feng family is related to Wu Xun, we are not actually a member of this group of top nobles."
“Ziying, what does that have to do with what I’m talking about?” Zheng Chongjian listened in confusion, half understanding.
"Of course it does matter. Niu Jizong is a mainstay figure among the four princes, eight princes and twelve princes. You should know how our emperor got the throne, right?" Feng Ziying's voice became deeper and deeper, "He turned out to be King Zhongxiao, not the prince. .”
Although the last few words were spoken in a low voice, they resounded in Zheng Chongjian's heart like the sound of the Nine Heavens Sanskrit.
Prince? ! Prince Yoshitaka? !
Wu Xun has always listened to the Emperor. It is said that the Emperor has always been partial to the deposed prince, Prince Yi Zhong. Even Zheng Chongjian has vaguely heard of it in Beijing for so long, but it has always been thought to be very vague, even just a rumor. Unexpectedly, Feng Ziying today But he opened it for himself.
"I'm afraid even the emperor can't believe it when he sits on the position of great treasure. At least a few years before he took the throne, he may have never thought about how many times the prince was established and then abolished, abolished and established again, and then abolished again. How could it be possible if there were no twists and turns?" Feng Ziying said slowly and calmly: "Prince Yi Zhong is also alive and kicking now, and the emperor and Prince Yi Zhong are also living in harmony, because the Supreme Emperor is here."
Zheng Chongjian eagerly listened to these secrets of the Tian family. Only the Wuxun family could understand these secrets so clearly.
"Ziying, you are saying that Niu Jizong might..." Zheng Chongjian felt that his voice was a little hoarse.
"Everything is possible. The key lies in whether the time is right or not, and whether the conditions are met." Feng Ziying said bleakly, "The main force of the Beijing camp was completely lost in the Santun camp. The Fifth Army camp and the Shenshu camp are under the control of the Supreme Emperor and the emperor's direct descendants respectively. , check and balance each other, but they can also control part of the city defenses and city gates; Ji Zhen may be listening to the emperor, but on the opposite side, the Chahar army is pressing down on the border, unable to move..."
Zheng Chongjian stared at Feng Ziying, watching his lips spit out things he had never touched before.
"Niu Jizong is the Governor of Xuanda, but you have been in the Ministry of War for so long, you should know the system of generals and officers of the Nine-Border Frontier Army, right? Liaodong Faction, Datong Faction, Ji Town belongs to Liaodong, Datong naturally belongs to the Datong Faction, but the two factions are the same There are many generals with martial arts backgrounds. Xuanfu Town is special and intertwined with each other. When Wang Ziteng was the governor of Xuanda, he began to arrange military generals with martial arts origins from the Beijing camp to Xuanfu Town. Therefore, from Wang Ziteng to Niu Jizong, Xuanfu The town has gradually become a nail for Beijing camp Wu Xun to break into the border army. Before that, although other border towns also had a large number of Wu Xun who were military generals and officers, they could no longer be regarded as pure Wu Xun. They have different factions, so the situation is more complicated. Which side they want to occupy depends on the specific situation..."
"I still don't understand..." Zheng Chongjian became more and more confused as he listened.
“Dazhang, where did our Feng family come from?” Feng Ziying sighed.
Zheng Chongjian suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "You mean..."
"Do you think it's that simple for Zhang Chai and the others to call me back?" Feng Ziying laughed at herself, "My father is not here, so naturally only I, the son, can use it. I have already written a few letters and sent them out, but Maybe the princes and the emperor are still worried? As long as Zasai's army retreats north, Zunhua's 20,000 Ji Zhen army is freed up, or Huang Degong's troops from Caojiazhai arrive and form a threat to the Chahar people's return to the grassland. With the threat removed, the frontal pressure on Ji Town is reduced and I can free up my hands, so maybe I won’t have any problems.”
Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but shake his head. It was so complicated that he had never thought of it before. Even Feng Ziying was recalled for ulterior motives. It was not as simple as he thought before.
