Chapter 1486 Xin Zijuan is in danger (to make up for what happened last night)
"Tell me, why are you afraid that your father won't be able to accept it?" Feng Tang laughed, "Your father eats more salt than you eat. What you know may not mean that your father doesn't know. Don’t think that your father doesn’t know about it even though he’s in Liaodong.”
Feng Ziying also burst into laughter. She was too cautious. This was her father. What doubts and worries could she not express? Even my father can't tell me, so there really is no one who can be honest with me.
"Son, I'm worried that Prince Yi Zhong may cause trouble." Feng Ziying's words made Feng Tang slightly change his face, but there was no expression of surprise, which made Feng Ziying feel more at ease.
"Oh? It really shocked your father. Well, Prince Yi Zhong wanted to take back the throne for a day or two. The emperor knows it, and the Supreme Emperor also knows it, but can he do it?" Feng Tang nodded, " The three major camps of the Beijing Camp are all controlled by the emperor. Even if Chen Jixian may be unstable, there are people from the emperor in the fifth military camp. The enemies of the Shenshu Camp are originally the emperor's people. The Shenji Camp was also established by the emperor himself this year. The capital city In fact, the emperor has taken the lead in military power, how can Prince Yoshitaka stand up?"
"Definitely not in the capital." Feng Ziying shook her head, "My son is worried that he is outside the capital, for example, in Jiangnan."
"Jiangnan?!" Feng Tang pondered, "Jiangnan is prosperous, and the public opinion of the gentry does not like the emperor, but prefers Prince Yi Zhong. This is accumulated by Prince Yi Zhong following the Emperor to Jiangnan many times, but there are no soldiers in Jiangnan, oh , Huaiyang Town?”
“Huaiyang Town is just one aspect, and there is also Denglai Town.” Feng Ziying said word by word: “My son suspects that Wang Ziteng is setting up a big chess game by playing and resting in Bozhou...”
“Are you saying that Prince Yi Zhong and Bozhou Yang Yinglong colluded?” Feng Tang looked serious, “But even if the two towns combined, compared with the nine-sided army, they are just like chickens and dogs, fighting with an egg against a stone!”
"But has Father ever thought about how much of the Nine-Border Army can be sent south? No need to defend the north? Will Jianzhou Jurchens take the opportunity to launch an attack? Where are the Chahar people? If Jiliao's army cannot be sent, then Xuanda can be the only one. But Xuanda The Grand Governor Niu Jizong has the Xuanfu Army in his hands, and the Datong Army Niu Jizong is also taking action. Only Shanxi Town, but both Shanxi Town and Datong Town have to face the Tumuts directly. Are the Tumuts good stubble? What happened to the four northwest towns? , they are very resentful towards the imperial court, will they be willing?"
Feng Ziying's series of rhetorical questions made Feng Tang a little confused. After a while, he said: "Ziying, according to what you said, if there is a rebellion in Jiangnan, the nine-sided army will not be able to draw out even one soldier. Even if Niu Jizong is also playing the role, If the character is eliminated, there will even be a big hole in Jiubian?"
"It's hard to say now. Ji Liao can't send out troops. That's for sure. Xuanda will definitely be in internal strife. As for the three sides and four towns, the journey is far away, and they have been hindered by the cold treatment of the imperial court for so many years. It doesn't say how good their combat effectiveness is. What will happen to the Tumuts, Xihai Mongolians and Mughals? Are they willing to go south to fight for the imperial court? Even if they go south, will they go all out? Will they be bribed by the Jiangnan side to fight back, or simply simply Harm the place?"
Feng Ziying continued a series of questions, leaving Feng Tang speechless and not knowing how to answer, but Feng Ziying refused to give up.
"Similarly, the Jurchens and Chahar people in Jianzhou will not be unaware of this. For them, the more chaos within the Great Zhou, the better for them. It is best to divide the north and the south into confrontation and consume each other. Then the Great Zhou will really We can no longer spare the strength to deal with them. They can easily launch offensives on thousands of miles from east to west, but if we lose Jiangnan, can we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, still be able to support this nine-sided army?"
Without Jiangnan, how could the hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiubian be supported? I am afraid that even one-third of the army will be difficult to maintain, but facing the wolf-like Mongols and Jurchens, this will be a disaster for the entire Central and Han Dynasties.
"Ziying, has the situation really deteriorated to this extent?" Feng Tang said disapprovingly: "Huaiyang Town hasn't been built yet, has it? Doesn't the imperial court know how to take precautions? And Prince Teng's Denglai Town has cut off his For food and grass, he will have no choice but to surrender immediately!"
"Father, why do we now say that Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong are planning to rebel? Even Prince Yizhong can still swagger through the capital city. The emperor prides himself on loyalty and filial piety. How could he do this without any substantive evidence? What happened? The Emperor is still here." Feng Ziying spread her hands.
Feng Ziying listened carefully to her father's analysis. As a military general, her father must understand the mentality of the army better than she did. Although the Xuanfu army was controlled by Niu Jizong, all the generals on the surface were following Niu Jizong's lead, but in reality, they wanted to raise the flag. During the Ku rebellion, would the military generals still dare to stand firmly behind Niu Jizong? What about the middle and lower-level military attachés below?
I'm afraid that may not be the case. As Dad said, it may cause a chaos.
Furthermore, Feng Ziying didn't think that Niu Jizong would dare to raise the banner of rebellion openly and openly. Another way, such as using the name of "Qing Jun Side", would probably be more attractive.
“Then my father means that this possibility is unlikely?” Feng Ziying asked.
"At least under the current circumstances, it is impossible. Neither Niu Jizong nor Prince Yi Zhong would be so stupid." Feng Tang said flatly: "Unless there are some accidents within the court."
"Accident? Which aspect counts?" Feng Ziying asked: "Jianzhou Jurchens or Mongols invaded the border again or even broke into the border wall? Or was it an internal rebellion by the White Lotus Sect, or was it difficult for the court to deal with the wave of refugees caused by the severe drought in the North? These does it count?"
Feng Tang frowned repeatedly, obviously a little displeased by Feng Ziying's series of descriptions, "Ziying, is the situation in the court so bad? The Jurchens and Mongols in Jianzhou don't have the ability to break into the border wall this year, right? At least in Liaodong. I have this certainty. I met You Shigong in Shanhaiguan. Although Jizhen’s strength suffered a loss last year, it is slowly recovering this year. By the way, Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu were also mentioned specifically. Huang Degong is the youngest guerrilla in Jizhen. , is currently stationed at Bohai Station, Zuo Liangyu is now the Dusi in charge of guerrilla affairs, and is currently stationed at Shitanling,..."
Feng Ziying couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Brother You trust these two boys so much? The Bohai Institute and Shitanngling are both key points. According to the usual path, this line should be the main breakthrough point for the Chahar people to invade. "
"If not, how can we train these two boys?" Feng Tang stroked his beard, "You Shigong told me, and I agree very much. Zuo Liangyu is too young to be directly promoted to guerrillas, and his colleagues will not be convinced. Huang Degong has done enough, and he is a better person than Zuo Liangyu. It makes sense to be promoted to guerrilla. It is okay to let him take charge of the Bohai Institute. Zuo Liangyu still needs to polish himself. I also specially said hello to You Shilu and polished this kid. …”
"It's definitely fine to polish it, but I'm afraid that Kunshan will take the initiative..." Feng Ziying smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I know that at Shitanling, we will reach Huangyakou and Shichengxi, where we will fight against the Chahar people. ideas,…"
"Hmph, if he really has the ability to compete with the Chahar people, that would not be a bad thing. At least a fight with the Chahar people would also make Lindan Batur not so presumptuous. Lindan Batur last year After the invasion of Gyeonggi, the arrogance has become much more arrogant. If Zasai and he had not parted ways, I am really worried that the Mongolian left wing will unify, and the pressure on Dazhou will be great."
Ji Liao was attacked from two sides. The Jianzhou Jurchens were certainly the most dangerous, but the threat from the Chahar people began to increase as Lin Dan Batur got older. This also put great pressure on Feng Tang. The strength of the two towns in Ji Liao Although the fighting power is the strongest, they really can't draw out a single soldier, and they don't even think it's enough.
Based on Feng Ziying's understanding of Zuo Liangyu's temperament, this guy will definitely not be content at the border. The Chahar people are not like the Jianzhou Jurchens outside Liaodong. Their organization is more loose. The tribesmen below often flee to the border area. Naturally, Zuo Liangyu would not let go of such an opportunity.
"By the way, Ziying, you mentioned the White Lotus Sect's rebellion? Is this possible?" Feng Tang was full of doubts. "I know that the White Lotus Sect participated in the Linqing Civil War, which impressed you deeply, but you said that you wanted to rise to the level of I’m afraid it’s a little impossible to rebel at this level, right?”
"Father, internal and external troubles often come together, and internal troubles are often worse than external troubles." Feng Ziying shook her head, "My son has already noticed the spread of the White Lotus Sect in the North in Yongping, and has also taken some measures to curb it. Unexpectedly, it attracted the assassination of the White Lotus Sect. If his son had not been well protected by the guards, he would have succeeded. When he arrived in the capital, his son discovered that the White Lotus Sect was not only very active in the capital, but even spread all over the capital city, and had some connections with the government. People also have connections, which makes people shudder."
When Feng Ziying said this, Feng Tang couldn't help but change his expression, "Is the White Lotus Sect so rampant? I remember that there were also many White Lotus Sect activities in Bansheng, Fengzhou, and later they migrated to the Hetao area. For this reason, I also talked to Bu Lost Rabbit and Su Nang have both said hello, and they have assured me that these White Lotus Cultists will never have anything to do with the White Lotus Cult in China again..."
