Chapter 1755 The Renzijuan battle is about to begin
Feng You directly told Feng Ziying what he thought. At present, Linqing was controlled by the Xuanfu army, and as the imperial court prepared to conquer the south, Shandong would definitely become a battlefield, and Linqing would be the unavoidable focus, so it was natural to let a family Zidu returned to the north.
"Go to Tianjin Wei or Tongzhou?" Of course Wang Xifeng also knew the risks of returning to the capital city, and he could accept Feng Ziying's arrangement. Tianjin Wei is not far from Linqing, only 700 miles. If you take a boat, this season, ten It can be reached in 3 days. If it is Tongzhou, it will only take 2 more days.
Wang Xifeng is unwilling to go to Tongzhou. Tongzhou is too close to the capital city and there are many people coming and going. Many people from the capital city even send guests to Tongzhou. It is easy for things to go wrong when people come and go.
Tianjin Wei is a military-style town developed from the Wei Station. Although it develops very quickly, it is still dominated by the Wei army. Most of the people living outside are business travelers traveling between the north and the south. In such an environment, it was discovered that is also less likely.
Wang Xifeng is still very decisive in matters like this. He made a decision after a little hesitation: "Then go to Tianjin Wei, but we are not familiar with Tianjin Wei either..."
"Grandma, don't worry. My uncle has already made arrangements before he came. He prepared a big house just outside Tianjin Wei City. It turned out to be a guard house for a thousand households. It is not far from the barracks, but it is also next to the residential streets in the city. It's convenient and safe." Feng You was busy, "It's the same if grandma wants to go to Tongzhou, it's all up to grandma, uncle is very concerned about grandma,..."
Wang Xifeng snorted lightly and sat up with Ping'er's help, "Humph, it's not me he cares about, I'm afraid it's the evil in my belly."
Feng You could only avoid this topic by lowering his head and coughing.
This young master of my family is good at everything, but he can't get enough of this woman. He has two wives and a group of concubines, but he still gets married to such a divorced woman, and she is also the wife of the Jia family of the Wang family. So, then Every relationship is troublesome, and what's even more troublesome is that this woman is actually pregnant.
As the young master's status increases, Feng You can hide this kind of thing from Long Jinwei. Of course, Long Jinwei generally won't care about such affairs between men and women, but if something happens in the future, someone wants to use this to deal with it. Master, that is a big trouble.
It’s just that the done deal is already done, and further persuasion at this time is of no use. The only option is to cover it up as much as possible to avoid being noticed by outsiders, or to delay the exposure of this matter as long as possible, and see if there are other ways to make up for it.
“Now that the Second Grandma has made up her mind, let’s prepare as soon as possible. The passenger ships on the canal have not been completely cut off yet, but the inspections are stricter. Small ones can also have some ways to open up the joints, so we will try to set off tomorrow.”
Feng You had already made arrangements before coming here, and chose a passenger ship to go directly from Tongzhou to Linqing, and now he was just picking up passengers on the way back, and the reason was very good.
Although the Xuanfu army currently controls the canal, it is impossible to cut off the entire canal traffic.
There were too many people relying on this river to eat, and the Xuanfu army did not dare to offend the public. They only strengthened inspections to prevent food and money from being transported to the north. Even normal cloth, silk, porcelain, dried fruits, tea, and southern goods were not allowed to be transported to the north. There is no way to ban these things all at once.
While the group was preparing, Wang Xifeng was also considering the next step.
Tianjin Wei is just a temporary place to stay. Sooner or later, I will return to the capital city, so it is necessary to make some arrangements in advance.
The current situation is chaotic, and a war between the North and the South is imminent, but this should be short-lived, and the outcome may be seen in one or two years. You need to consider the long-term future.
Wang Xifeng knew very well that no matter how much Feng Ziying took care of her, she could never become a real family with her. Perhaps the only thing that could maintain the relationship between the two was the child in her belly.
Wang Xifeng did not expect to rely on the other party for everything, but as a divorced woman, if she wanted to live the life she wanted in the future, she had to have her own business, and to make this business well, she had to rely on Feng Ziying's resources. There is no getting away from this.
Feng You casually mentioned that Tianjin Wei is becoming increasingly prosperous, Dagu has become a shipping port, and the Wei River can make Dagu become Tianjin Wei's outport. In addition, the canal connects the north and the south, and Tianjin Wei's commercial importance is becoming increasingly prominent. It is also said that in the future This place will also become an important station for the North Navy. If you can start some business in Tianjin Wei Jing, it might be a good place.
Of course, Wang Xifeng herself is definitely not willing to live in Tianjin Wei for a long time. She just fell in love with the business opportunities here. Now many people have not realized the commercial value of Tianjin Wei, but in the future this place will definitely become more and more prosperous, even here. Buying a house or shop is also cost-effective. If you can sell some items such as cement and iron materials, you will definitely make a lot of money.
Since this trip will last a year and a half in Tianjin Wei, Wang Xin and Lai Wang can get familiar with the situation first and make preparations.
************
For Feng Ziying, it is most fundamental to be her own Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister and take good care of the affairs of the prefectures and counties within Shuntian Prefecture. However, just doing these is probably not enough, or even far from enough.
He has realized that in the next two years, the imperial court will definitely do everything it can to suppress the rebellion in Nanjing. However, the crisis caused by the severe drought in the North, the hidden danger of the White Lotus Sect, and the threats of Jurchens and Mongols outside the border wall will inevitably restrain them. The energy of the imperial court is occupied, and Nanjing will definitely try its best to use these factors to interfere with the imperial court and make the situation more favorable to it.
It is not his turn to dictate the war in the south for the time being. Whether it is his father, Sun Chengzong or Xiong Tingbi, or the You brothers, Cao Wenzhao, He Shixian, or even Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu and He Huchen, they are all better than themselves. All they can do is On the one hand, we will provide as much support as possible in terms of logistical support; on the other hand, we will sit in the position of Shuntian Prefecture and try our best to eliminate the possible negative impacts of the White Lotus Rebellion and the drought-stricken refugees in the North.
However, thinking this way, Feng Ziying's performance during this period still attracted the attention of the court princes. At least a series of analyzes and suggestions were quite pertinent. The princes who originally had some opinions about Feng Ziying changed their attitudes and were more willing to It is good to listen to Feng Ziying's opinions and suggestions on many things, even as a reference.
"Ziying, your father has already sent a letter. The first batch of troops from the three sides and four towns has been formed. There are about 50,000 people, led by your father personally. Liu Dongyang, Liu Baichuan, and Tu Wenxiu are all among them. Liu Dongyang is the vanguard and has gone south to Yaozhou. , preparing to enter Henan from Tongguan." Qi Yongtai glanced at Feng Ziying, "Your Majesty also recommended that He Shixian be the acting governor of the three sides for the time being and preside over the overall situation in the northwest. There are also 40,000 troops who are also ready, led by Xiao Ruxun, who are expected to arrive in the middle of the month. Depart in a few months.”
“If we allocate all the northwest army, wouldn’t the northwest be empty? The drought in Shanxi and Shaanxi is so serious, what if...” Feng Ziying was surprised, but his father did not tell him this.
I didn't expect that my father would be so courageous and bring out the rebel generals Liu Baichuan, Liu Dongyang and Tu Wenxiu, and even let Liu Dongyang serve as a vanguard officer. But having said that, it is not more dangerous to leave Liu Dongyang and Tu Wenxiu in the northwest. Is it big? It is better to use his strengths to fight, whether it is a collision with Wang Ziteng's Denglai army or a battle with Niu Jizong's Xuanfu army, it can be considered to be put to good use.
He Shixian is an old man who is looking for a country, so he is a suitable candidate to stay behind. In addition, he is very loyal to his father. It is also obvious that his father wants to help He Shixian rise to power. However, the court may not agree. In that case, the Feng family's influence will be too great.
However, even if he is the Acting Governor of the Three Borders, once he has this qualification, it will be a matter of course for him to be transferred from Yulin General Soldier to Jizhen or Datong General Soldier in the future. This can be regarded as a small improvement.
"There are still 30,000 people undergoing training. Your Majesty is very optimistic about Qi Bingzhong and has recommended Qi Bingzhong to take over as the commander-in-chief of Ningxia Town and be responsible for assisting He Shixian in pacifying the northwest." Qi Yongtai said with profound meaning: "Qi Bingzhong is also a Mongolian, and your Majesty trusts him very much. "
"Master Qi, there are many Chinese and foreign nationalities in the border generals. From a student's perspective, our Great Zhou Dynasty is so powerful that even the Mongols are also members of our Great Zhou. As long as we recognize my Great Zhou Zhengshuo and admire my Chinese civilization, the future will be bright." King Bali wants to be a member of the former Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing is enough to prove that the virtues of our Chinese civilization are universal." Feng Ziying actually understood that Qi Yongtai's words were not referring to Qi Bingzhong's Mongolian issue, but to his father who liked to appoint private individuals. .
Isn’t this nonsense? If you don't have people you trust in the military, is it really necessary to appoint everyone on a merit basis? If you can't even guarantee your loyalty, how can you give orders during a war?
Although this is a shortcoming in theory, Feng Ziying supports her father in doing so. If you don't have a group of loyal generals in a war, you really can't do it. People like Liu Dongyang and Tu Wenxiu, if Dad is not completely sure and will never release it.
Feng Ziying didn't know how her father subdued these people, but if he really subdued these warriors, it would indeed be a good sword when used on the battlefield to the south.
For civil servants, this situation must not be tolerated, but for military generals, as long as they can ensure victory in the war, that is the only way.
Qi Yongtai saw Feng Ziying's sophistry and didn't bother to pay more attention. He didn't think Feng Tang's behavior was so outrageous. It was the same in border towns. Who asked Feng Tang to travel from west to east, and then from east to west? How can we fight a war if we don't support them like donkeys and make them fight? If we don't promote a few suitable people, how can we fight?
I recommend an entertainment novel, "What Bad Thoughts Can a Director Have?" It seems fresh and fresh, but it is actually a Chinese entertainment novel about a small harem. It is quite interesting. Brothers who are not good at reading can read it.
