Chapter 1859 Ren Zijuan seizes the military power and shoots the bow from left to right
After settling the matter with the Ministry of War, Feng Ziying went home and quickly informed Yang Zhaoji, who was still waiting for the good news.
Yang Zhaoji did not expect that Feng Ziying was so powerful that he could do it in an hour. He thought it would take ten days and a half at least, and he could also instruct the Gyeonggi Steel, Military, and Building Materials Complex to complete the inventory of firepower within three days. The blunderbuss was sent over, which meant that he could get the gunpowder pellets immediately.
Yang Zhaoji, who was overjoyed, admired Feng Ziying with all his heart. Even the new commander-in-chief would never be able to handle the Ministry of War and the workshop with one hand. This ability is really not easy. Only after following such a person can one It really has a future.
Feng Ziying also mentioned her and Zhang Huaichang's worries by the way, and made it clear that the reason why she agreed to replenish the Xuanfu side first was because she was worried about something happening on the northern line. If anything happened, Yang Zhaoji would immediately pull out the reserve team to deal with it. Go up.
Yang Zhaoji didn't care about this. Isn't this military training just for fighting?
Whether fighting the Chahar people, fighting the Jianzhou Jurchens, or fighting the Southern Army, there is no big difference for the warriors. They even hope that the more wars, the better. This is the opportunity for the warriors to get promoted.
If it were a peaceful time, the status of these warriors would only be lower, and they would be oppressed even more severely by the civil servants.
Yang Zhaoji left happily.
However, while worrying about the twists and turns in the situation on the northern line, Feng Ziying naturally had to consider some responses. Besides writing a letter to remind You Shilu, what could Shuntian Prefecture do?
If the army on the northern front is really defeated, Yang Zhaoji's reserve force alone will definitely be far from enough. But now besides the few people in Xuanfu Town, where can they be mobilized from?
The You Shilu part of Ji Town is already at its limit, and Ji Town’s defense is under great pressure.
Especially when Niu Jizong suddenly left Xuanfu Town, huge loopholes appeared in the entire northern defense, and the Chahar people were ready to move.
Although the Chahar people have not taken any substantial action due to seasonal reasons, no one can guarantee whether the Chahar people, aware of the weakness of the Zhou Dynasty, will suddenly attack.
Now the line from Longmen Station to Bohai Station, including Yanqing Prefecture, was originally the defense area of Xuanfu Town. They have all been handed over to Ji Town for temporary guarding. They will not be handed over until the formation and training of the new Xuanfu Army reaches a certain level. For the new Xuanfu Army, this period will last from half a year to two years before the Jizhen Army will gradually withdraw and return to its original state.
Other than Ji Town, Liaodong Town is out of the question. When Nurhaci sees such an opportunity, he will definitely not make it easy for Zhou. If Liaodong Town fails, he may even need support from the court.
Don't even think about Datong Town. Datong Town, which had a considerable number of elites taken away by Sun Shaozu, is still injured and needs to be replenished. After all, the entire Jiubian has no troops that can serve as the reserve force for the northern front. Only Jingying is used.
Can Jingying be used?
After the defeat of Santun Camp, although the Jingying Camp was rebuilt under the personal supervision of Emperor Yonglong, the imperial court was full of doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Jingying Camp from top to bottom. This distrust was so deep-rooted that the Jingying Camp was almost treated as rubbish. No. Maybe Yang Zhaoji had just entered the Beijing camp not long ago. If he stayed for another two years, he would probably be "looked at differently" by the Ministry of War and the princes in the court again.
But when there were no soldiers available, even waste had to be used. So Feng Ziying felt that all she could do was say hello to King Zhonghui and remind him to hurry up and train. By the way, he reminded He Huchen that once he left, At that point, the department he is in will definitely bear the brunt and must prepare quickly.
King Zhonghui was also overjoyed by Feng Ziying's visit.
It was only after he became the governor of the Beijing Camp that King Zhonghui realized that it was not easy to be the governor of the capital.
Qian Guozhong, the commander of the Shenji Camp, also had his own Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. What King Zhonghui could actually control was the Fifth Army Camp, and his prestige as the Jiedu Commander of the Beijing Camp was not comparable to that of the previous two Compared with Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong, he appears to be quite weak, even far behind Chen Jixian, which makes him, the governor of the Beijing camp, extremely useless.
After all, the most reliable one he has available now is He Huchen who was recommended to him by Feng Ziying.
So when Feng Ziying left, King Zhonghui took Feng Ziying to pour out his bitterness.
“My lord, you don’t have to worry so much. You can’t control Shenshu Camp and Shenji Camp, so just focus on holding on to the Fifth Army Camp.”
Feng Ziying thought it was normal. King Zhonghui himself was not the material to be a military governor. If you let him interfere with the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp, it would only worsen the relationship and make it worse.
"Ziying, how did you know that the fifth military camp is also difficult to serve." King Zhonghui sighed, "The fifth military camp is much larger than the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. I’m always thinking about how to deal with it, and I’m almost going crazy because of these things all day long.”
Unexpectedly, King Zhonghui would have such an attitude, and Feng Ziying was also speechless.
It seems that few of these princes are capable. If you are given the authority and you don’t know how to use it, what can you do? But now the Jingying Jiedushi was personally appointed by Emperor Yonglong. Now even the cabinet cannot easily replace him, and it will be a headache to replace him.
"Your Majesty, then you must have a strategy." Feng Ziying shook her head, "The Emperor asked you to serve as the military envoy of the Beijing Camp. Maybe he is asking you to restrict Qiu Shiben and Qian Guozhong. You can't even do anything with the Fifth Army Camp. what to do?"
Hearing what Feng Ziying said, King Zhonghui felt more and more that this was true, but for him, he didn't know what to do.
"Ziying, please give me an idea. I just now realize that being the governor of the Beijing Camp was a big mistake on my part. I shouldn't have picked up the hot potato. Now I can't get rid of it." King Zhonghui pulled Holding Feng Ziying's hand, she looked forward to it: "You always have ideas, and you will definitely be able to give me a good idea."
"My lord, you have to make your own decision about this." Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, "What you lack is that you don't have people you trust, especially people who can fight. If you do, you might as well make this movie bigger first. Strong and form combat effectiveness. In this way, it can also deter Shenshu Camp and Shenji Camp so that they dare not act rashly. Then they can train people they trust, such as recruiting some veterans from the army with a certain combat effectiveness. Then combine some of the new troops for mixed formation, strengthen training, and gradually form combat effectiveness..."
Feng Ziying could only give King Zhonghui this kind of idea that was not a good idea. In this state, she could only do this, and Feng Ziying didn't know whether King Zhonghui could do it. But in this way, Feng Ziying hoped to give him He Huchen was given a chance.
Now that Yang Zhaoji has got the opportunity, he will not favor one over the other, so he must also try to give He Huchen a chance.
If the war on the northern front does not go well, then for Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen, it will be an opportunity. It depends on which of the two can seize it.
King Zhonghui thought about it and felt that Feng Ziying's opinion made some sense. He had never been in charge of an army, and he had no generals who could fight. Among the existing ones, there were only a few people who were interested in them. In the end, The most reliable and effective one is He Huchen’s department.
It's just that He Huchen was too young, so he was a little hesitant before, but now it seems that he doesn't care much anymore. When it's time to reorganize, it must be reorganized. As long as it can be used and can obey its own orders, as for age, just be young when you are young. Isn't this one younger? He's already a fourth-grade official.
After making up his mind, King Zhonghui did not talk to Feng Ziying anymore. He changed the topic and talked about the current situation of the court and the prediction of the North-South War. Feng Ziying also mentioned that the Beijing camp should be well prepared in case the war really goes wrong. He needs to be pulled out without losing face to Jingying.
After staying at King Zhonghui's place for a long time, Feng Ziying originally wanted to find an opportunity to meet He Huchen, but going at this time would seem a bit revealing, so he simply left and waited until someone asked He Huchen to come to his place to explain it specifically. .
He Huchen also came to Feng Ziying's house in the evening, and Feng Ziying told the situation.
He Huchen was also very excited.
Originally, when arriving in Jingying, for others, a pampered life might be the most comfortable, but this is not what people like He Huchen want.
As a warrior, he was even more eager to prove himself on the battlefield. After the defeat of Santunying, he and Yang Zhaoji both performed modestly in Yongping Mansion. However, they went on an expedition to Wuling Mountain with Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong and others, and raided Caojiazhai. The performance of threatening the Chahar people's retreat is not worth mentioning.
Now Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong have officially entered the elite ranks of Jizhen with that performance, and have also become young generals that You Shigong focuses on training, but he and Yang Zhaoji are still lingering in the Beijing camp.
Although the emperor values Jingying and focuses on training, everyone knows that the mission of Jingying is to defend the capital. It is rare for the Chahar people to invade like the year before last, so it is rare for Beijing to fight. This is for It was a kind of torture for warriors like him and Yang Zhaoji who were unwilling to live such a mediocre life.
Now that he finally got such an unexpected surprise, how could He Huchen not be overjoyed? You must know that Yang Zhaoji's incorporation into Xuanfu Town has made He Huchen fascinated and sad. Suddenly he also has the opportunity to go into battle, so he naturally has to prepare carefully.
Feng Ziying didn't say much, and only made two points to He Huchen. One was to immediately strengthen training after expansion and reorganization, but first to ensure that the combat effectiveness of his own unit was not reduced, and to actively prepare for war in all aspects at any time.
He Huchen didn't ask much. The only places that could be attacked were those places. He would just take note of the changes in the current situation, and he just accepted the order graciously.
