Chapter 1544 Xinzijuan Iron Net Mountain is gradually taking shape
Feng Ziying feels quite troubled.
Facing this problem, how did the court solve it?
It is conceivable that the court really couldn't find a suitable solution, so it kept delaying the matter like this.
“Feixiong, after you came back and reported to Mr. Zhang and the others, did the Ministry of War have any countermeasures?” Feng Ziying thought for a while, “What suggestions do Mr. Sun and you personally have?”
As expected, Wang Yingxiong shook his head: "Master Zhang and the others also found it difficult to deal with after hearing this. There are many ways, but none of them can achieve the desired effect, and may even worsen the situation. But if we delay, the situation will be as feared most. It will become more and more disadvantageous to the court, so it is a dilemma."
"Other problems are not big. Yang He is incompetent, so just change someone. For example, let Mr. Sun directly take over as the governor of Yunyang and the commander-in-chief of Jingxiang Town. With Mr. Sun's ability, I believe he can quickly integrate the troops, and he can also cooperate with The Sichuan Home Guards are combined into one, unified command, and we can expect to solve Bozhou. The key is Wang Ziteng, how to deal with it?"
Zheng Chongjian has obviously thought about it for a long time, "Or let Niu Jizong succeed the governor of Denglai and transfer Wang Ziteng?"
Feng Ziying shook her head, "Although the relationship between the Ox King and the King is special, this action that will obviously damage their own power is equivalent to removing Wang Ziteng from his position. Where should he put Wang Ziteng?"
“How about letting Wang Ziteng be transferred to the position of commander-in-chief of Huaiyang Town?” Zheng Chongjian suggested, stroking his chin.
Feng Ziying was stunned. Zheng Chongjian's suggestion was interesting, but it was obviously not feasible. The general soldier of Huaiyang Town was just the general soldier of a town. Wang Ziteng's status as the governor of Denglai was undoubtedly demoted. How could he accept it? It is impossible for the court to do this, it is against the rules.
More importantly, placing Wang Ziteng in Huaiyang Town means that Huaiyang Town, a military town that straddles the north and south in the hinterland of the Jianghuai River, will fall into Wang Ziteng's hands. The danger is probably no less than if he holds Denglai Town. The court cannot but consider the possible subsequent threats.
“He can be allowed to concurrently serve as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War as an appeasement.” Zheng Chongjian further suggested.
"I'm afraid Wang Ziteng won't agree to such a false reputation." Feng Ziying still shook her head, "I'm still the left minister of the Ministry of War, and the court doesn't dare to let Wang Ziteng live in Huaiyang Town."
“What about letting him return to Beijing as the military envoy?” Zheng Chongjian thought for a while and then suggested.
This is a somewhat novel idea, but is it feasible?
Now the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp among the three major camps in the Beijing camp have been completely controlled by the emperor. Even if Wang Ziteng returns to serve as the Jiedushi of the Beijing camp, he will not be able to mobilize these two battalions. But it is hard to say about the fifth military camp, but Chen Jixian has already Having been in control of the Fifth Army Camp for a long time, he might not have listened to Prince Tengyan anymore, but even Captain Long couldn't tell what the relationship between the two was, so there was still a risk.
"Is the emperor afraid to take this risk?" Wang Yingxiong shook his head, "Now the court is seeking stability. It has finally managed to get these uncontrollable warriors out of the capital city. How can it be possible to let them come back? I would rather let them sit outside. I don’t want them to come back and cause trouble, that’s what the court has in mind, well, at least that’s what the emperor thinks.”
Wang Yingxiong guessed Emperor Yonglong's thoughts very accurately. This boy has a future. Feng Ziying slightly nodded.
Even if there is a rebellion outside, there are strategies to deal with it, and it will only cause disaster to the place. But if trouble occurs in the capital city, it will be a serious matter that will not protect the throne and even harm the descendants. This is probably the case of Emperor Yonglong. idea.
"Actually, it would not be a bad idea if Chen Jixian is sent out to control Huaiyang, and then a reliable person is arranged to serve as the general of the fifth military camp, and then the prince is sent back to serve as the governor of the Beijing camp." Zheng Chongjian made another move.
This kind of large-scale change of people can indeed break the inherent vassal relationship, but it requires a buffer period to stabilize the situation. But does the court have this time now? Feng Ziying is skeptical.
More importantly, Feng Ziying was convinced that Emperor Yonglong did not have the courage and did not have so many cards to play. Emperor Yonglong was already very suspicious, and now in poor health, as well as the threats from the Supreme Emperor and Prince Yi Zhong, he did not care about anyone. Dare to trust too much.
If Niu Jizong, Wang Ziteng, and the Supreme Emperor all support Prince Yi Zhong, and Jiangnan is also behind him, it will be enough to challenge the legitimacy of Emperor Yonglong, and he will also have a certain ability to compete in terms of economic and military strength. .
The three of them discussed for a long time but could not come up with a better solution. Of course, Feng Ziying was extremely anxious. Although Wang and Zheng were also worried, they were far less anxious than Feng Ziying.
Wang Yingxiong and Zheng Chongjian only began to realize the huge risks within the imperial court, that is, the struggle for the throne, that may arise from Feng Ziying's continuous indoctrination through various channels and methods in the past two years. Previously, they were worried that Prince Yi Zhong might challenge Emperor Yonglong. Feng Ziying's throne has never been recognized, and he even thought that Feng Ziying was a bit whimsical.
After all, Emperor Yonglong has been on the throne for ten years, and his throne is stable. There is no objection among the scholars and people. Even if he is not a wise and virtuous king, he is at least an above-average level. Moreover, Emperor Yonglong has five sons, four of whom are adults. They are both smart and wise, but they are all passable, especially King Lu, who is highly praised. Under such circumstances, can Prince Yohitada still be able to have a brother-in-law?
The former Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty succeeded Emperor Jing and carried out the coup to seize the throne. This was only accomplished when Emperor Ming Jing was critically ill, and it was also because Emperor Ming Jing had no children. Prince Yizhong had never been an emperor, and was just an old prince. That's all. It would be a bit exaggerated to want to seize the throne. This situation has never happened in this dynasty.
However, Niu Jizong's ambiguous attitude during the Mongolian invasion last year, Wang Ziteng's strange performance in countering the rebellion in the southwest, and Jiangnan's strong demand for the establishment of Huaiyang Town. These situations are not normal, and they must be allowed to start slowly. Be suspicious.
Logically speaking, Shilin civil servants should not be involved in the affairs of the Tian family. Whoever becomes the emperor must use Shilin civil servants. However, the premise is that the seizure of the legitimate son will not affect the security of the Zhou Dynasty. Now there are threats from Mongolia and Jurchens outside, and the southwest Rebellion is raging in the hinterland. Under such circumstances, if a war is caused due to the seizure of heirs, it will really be a disaster.
"If there is no good countermeasure, we can only hope that the Ministry of War will consider the situation in the southwest and let Mr. Sun succeed the governor of Yunyang and the commander-in-chief of Jingxiang Town. If the remaining troops in Guyuan Town are difficult to tame, it is better to let them return north and recruit elite Sichuan Guards to join the army. Jingxiang Town, we need to cut through the mess quickly to avoid affecting the overall order of Jingxiang Town." Feng Ziying thought for a moment before saying: "I'm afraid we not only have to consider Yang Yinglong's rebellion in Bozhou, but also be wary of Wang Ziteng's entrenchment in Huguang. The possibility of causing trouble.”
“Isn’t that true?” Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong both said subconsciously.
"I hope so too, but the less you want this kind of thing to happen, the more likely it is to happen." Feng Ziying once again used Murphy's Law.
Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong left, but they completely ruined Feng Ziying's good mood for a day off. Thinking about it, he was just a Shuntian Prime Minister, but he had to worry about the Ministry of War and the imperial court. This was too far.
But the problem is that if you don't consider these issues, once things develop to the worst extent, it will definitely affect your family. Dad can't run away, and he will also be involved.
Because of this, Feng Ziying felt anxious and irritated, unable to change, and helplessly watching certain things slide towards the situation she least wanted to happen. In the end, she might still have to make every effort to face and cope with it. This is Why bother?
These days, even if you want to be a quiet official in peace and enjoy your life happily, it won't work. There will always be all kinds of unexpected troubles and entanglements that drag you into it.
After sending the two of them off and returning to the study, Feng Ziying settled down to think.
If it cannot be changed, then we must consider countermeasures from the perspective of the worst outcome, and we need to arrange some backup plans to make preparations.
Dad himself had already told him to mobilize elites from various towns as soon as possible on the grounds of training and eliminating the old and weak. Feng Ziying judged that if something really happened, September to the end of the year would be the most likely time, especially as mentioned The hunt in Tienwang Mountain gave Feng Ziying a bad premonition.
The Iron Web Mountain is mentioned in several places in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", and it has become an important aspect of discussion among experts and fans of Red Mansions. There are different opinions, many stories, and countless versions, most of which are allusions and far-fetched.
However, the book "Dream of Red Mansions" does not mention Tiewang Mountain in detail, but there is one thing that Feng Ziying has an impression of, because the Tiewang Mountain in "Dream of Red Mansions" is closely related to her, and it seems that she also participated in some things about Tiewang Mountain. Moreover, it made him a little unhappy. During a certain drinking party, it was revealed that he had something to do with Captain Qiu's son.
Not to mention the vague records in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", the problem is that when I came to this time and space, a lot of history had already changed. Qiu Duwei most likely refers to Qiu Shiben, the current leader of the Shenshu Camp. His son Qiu Zhengsun and Feng Ziying knew each other, but there was nothing Jiao Dao is now an officer in the Warrior Battalion and also a playboy. How can he still have anything to do with himself now?
I am now the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, and my identity is completely different from that of Feng Ziying, a **** in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions". How can I still be involved in the hunt on the Iron Wall Mountain in September? Moreover, the Tienwang Mountain hunt is divided into spring hunting and autumn hunting. The one Feng Ziying participated in in the book seemed to be a spring hunting, but now it is autumn hunting. It doesn't match up.
But her intuition told Feng Ziying that no matter what happened, there must be some unexplainable changes in the Iron Web Mountain. Otherwise, the Iron Web Mountain would not be so famous in the book "A Dream of Red Mansions".
