Chapter 1696: Ren Zijuan is pretending to go out, let’s see if he will be slapped in the face
Feng Ziying's roar suddenly broke the somewhat gloomy and depressing atmosphere. Moreover, her words were so conclusive that many people couldn't help but have some hope in their hearts.
Although he is young, everyone here except Xu Dahua is a little unfamiliar with him. However, he was persuaded by Feng Ziying and finally boldly stated that he asked King Zhongshun to give orders to You Shigong, which can be regarded as having some trust in Feng Ziying.
Several other people, including Chai Ke, Han Xu and Wang Yongguang, and the three cabinet ministers, all have some trust in Feng Ziying's amazing talent. They know that this person will only be silent, but a hit will definitely be amazing. .
“Ziying, this kind of thing is no different than other things. If you talk too much and miss important things, then you will become a sinner for the ages, and no one can bear it!”
Qi Yongtai couldn't help but snorted. After all, he was his disciple. No matter how much he looked forward to it, he was still worried that he would be too arrogant and miss the chance of fighting. That would mean he would die forever.
"Master Qi, have you ever seen a disciple dare to speak nonsense on such a matter?" Feng Ziying's attitude became more calm and determined, her eyes were bright, and she looked around, "Prince Yizhong and Niu Jizong may seem to be menacing, but they are still extremely weak in their bones. To give the simplest example, if they really feel that they are confident, then before Prime Minister Fang, Prime Minister Li and Master Qi leave the capital this morning, they should come to the door in a clear-cut manner to express their attitude to the princes. He wants to supervise Country! But he didn’t. What does this mean? It means that he himself is just as unsure and guilty!"
Feng Ziying’s words were like a lone lamp in the dark night, suddenly igniting hope in everyone’s hearts.
Yes, if it is really Prince Yoshitaka's design, then Prince Yoshitaka at least knows the situation before the cabinet ministers. Since they are sure of victory, why not directly propose to the cabinet that he will supervise the country while the emperor is unconscious?
If they really proposed it directly to the cabinet ministers, I am afraid that the cabinet ministers would still find it difficult to deal with it for a while. Even if they refused, they would still be a little uneasy in their hearts. At the very least, they would not dare to directly mention Prince Yoshitaka and others. Take it down, or imprison it.
But now Prince Yoshitaka does not dare to do this, but just waits and waits. What does this mean? It shows that he is equally clueless.
Seeing that among the group of people, some were thoughtful, some were nodding attentively, and some were stroking their beards and smiling, Feng Ziying knew that her words had played a certain role, but it was not enough, far from enough.
"Of course, this alone can't explain anything. After all, the biggest danger we face is Niu Jizong's army." Feng Ziying knew that the biggest problem in order to dispel these people's concerns was to face the problem of Niu Jizong's army approaching the capital city. If he did not eliminate this Worry, these people cannot sleep peacefully.
"Then let's analyze the composition of the army in Niu Jizong's hands." Feng Ziying organized her words before speaking: "Although Niu Jizong is the governor of Xuanda, as far as I know, well, it also includes the various things that my father and I discussed. Niu Jizong mainly controls Xuanfu Town and part of Datong Town. In Shanxi Town, his influence is minimal and can be ignored."
Feng Ziying specifically mentioned his father, which could be regarded as clearing up the doubts. After all, he, a Shuntianfu Cheng, knew so much about the situation in the army, so he had to have an explanation.
In fact, everyone knows this situation. Feng Ziying has followed her father in the army since she was a child. If she had not gone to Qingtan Academy to study and then became famous in the imperial examination, she would have succeeded her father. Just like countless martial arts families in the Great Zhou Army, father and son , brothers are in the military together, just like the Ma family in Datong, the Li family in Liaodong, and now the You family in Ji Town.
Feng Ziying continued calmly: "My cousin was transferred to the northwest corner of Xuanfu Town because he was not from Niu Jizong. It can be seen that although Niu Jizong is deeply rooted in Xuanfu Town, he does not cover the sky with one hand. According to the defense situation of Xuanfu Town, the entire West Road, including Huai'anwei, Ximalin and other towns, should be stationed by non-Niu's direct descendants. I don't know whether Zhang Chengyin, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, is a puppet, but it stands to reason that as the commander-in-chief He shouldn't..."
Qi Yongtai coughed dryly and interrupted Feng Ziying: "Everyone is here, the matter has come to this point, Zhong Han, I think we don't have to hide anything,..."
Fang Congzhe and Li Tingji both nodded slightly, indicating that Qi Yongtai could speak.
"In fact, Zhang Chengyin should be regarded as a chess piece placed by the imperial court next to Niu Jizong. This was also arranged by the emperor very early. It was arranged during the time of Wang Ziteng, so the emperor deliberately took this opportunity to eliminate Niu Jizong's influence in Xuanda University. The forces here, but unfortunately, according to the current situation, Zhang Chengyin and several of his own confidants should have been noticed by Niu Jizong, so Niu Jizong should have dealt with Zhang Chengyin and others in advance..."
Everyone here took a breath. So, the emperor and the court are still having this incident. No wonder they were confident before, but who would have thought...
"If that's the case, that would be even better." Feng Ziying was not worried but overjoyed, "Even if Niu Jizong was aware of the problems of Zhang Chengyin and the others in advance and dealt with them decisively, he could only deal with a few generals and at most There are some officers and assistants extending downwards, but the middle and low-level military attaches and soldiers may not be able to trust you, a superior governor. You must know that they usually come into contact with the officers who directly govern and lead them. At most, if they go up one level, I'm afraid They don't even know the general, so they won't be able to use these armies, and they may even have to leave some people to monitor them..."
"After this calculation, I judge that the number of men and horses that Niu Jizong can really use is at most between 30,000 and 50,000 people." Feng Ziying concluded with great certainty, "30,000 to 50,000 people, let's take the middle number. According to the intelligence obtained by the Ministry of War, one of the 40,000 people went to Changping, and the other to Baiyangkou and Zhenbiancheng. Of course, the purpose was simple, to prevent the Jizhen Army stationed in the north and south from forming a pincer attack. , of course, there are not many Ji Town troops stationed in these places, and it is difficult to withstand the sudden attack of the Xuanfu army, but no matter what, at least about 5,000 to 8,000 troops must be dispersed in these three places, that is to say, At best, Niu Jizong can use between 30,000 to 35,000 troops to attack along the front line of Gonghua City and Qinghedian."
"More than 30,000 people does not sound too small, but you must know that they are plotting rebellion. Of course, it does not count if they succeed. But the soldiers may not think so. They will be uneasy, because as we all know, the border troops are not allowed to According to the emperor's personal decree, no one is allowed to enter within thirty miles of the capital city, otherwise it will be regarded as rebellion, and the morale of the army will definitely fluctuate..."
Feng Ziying's eyes became clearer and clearer, and she looked at the people around her, "But no matter what, as long as they capture Gonghua City and Qinghe Store first, then basically no one can stop them from entering the Capital City. If they really want to enter the Capital City, Then there is no such thing as rebellion. Niu Jizong knew this very well, and his party also knew this. The soldiers had to wait until Prince Yi Zhong entered the capital city and sat on the throne of Dabao to understand this. Before They can only remain anxious and uneasy..."
"Ziying, what do you want to say? As you said, as long as the Xuanfu army enters the capital city, everything may be different..." Chai Ke said in a deep voice.
"Then we can only take a gamble and see if the Xuanfu army can seize Gonghua City before You Shigong leads the main force of Jizhen to arrive at Gonghua City. In other words, can the Beijing camp led by King Zhonghui be able to capture Gonghua City in one fell swoop? Shame on you, block the Xuanfu army's attack in Gonghua City and buy time for the Ji Zhen army to arrive!" Feng Ziying said sonorously and forcefully: "Maybe all the gentlemen here feel that there is no chance in their hearts, but the disciples do not,..."
"Young Masters may not know much about the situation in the Beijing Camp, but for the disciples, the situation is a little different. The disciples know the troops in the Beijing Camp very well, because several of them were from the time when the disciples were serving as Tongzhi in Yongping Mansion. The civilians of the Khalkha people were selected and the Liangjiazi selected from the defeated soldiers of the Beijing camp were mixed and reorganized. The Ministry of War and the "Gyeonggi Military Workshop" reached an agreement to give priority to the firearms of these units, and adopted the latest methods. Its training methods have completely changed its combat effectiveness. This is a firearms battalion that is not inferior to any existing army. Even the most elite Jurchen army in Jianzhou, the disciples believe that it can fight head-on. It is different from the original Beijing camp. , so the disciples firmly believe that they can definitely give the Xuanfu army, which knows nothing about this Xinjing camp, a head-on attack and beat them to pieces!"
Seeing Feng Ziying speak so decisively, everyone was moved by it. If the firearms battalion of Xinjing camp really has such combat effectiveness, then maybe Gonghua City can really hold on for a while until You Shigong's army arrives?
Several people whispered to each other, and even Fang Congzhe couldn't help but ask about Qi Yongtai.
But to be honest, Qi Yongtai was also confused. He had no idea about the situation in the Beijing camp. But when Feng Ziying had already spoken out, he could only force himself to smile and pretend that everything was under control. She nodded with a smile, but in her heart she already wanted to turn Feng Ziying aside and ask her about the real situation.
