Chapter 1934 Renzijuan expands the territory and aims at all directions
Feng Ziying walked quickly into the Ministry of War. As soon as she entered the room, she met Yang Sichang head-on.
Seeing the anxious look on Yang Sichang's face, Feng Ziying knew that there was some bad news.
“How is it that you are weak?”
Yang Sichang couldn't help but waved his fist and hit the doorpost, "What kind of war is Mr. Zhisheng fighting? The old city fought for three days in a row and was dragged off until Sun Shaozu's reinforcements arrived. It ended up like this In this situation, if you advance but cannot advance, if you retreat, you may be pursued by the rebels one after another. You Shilu should be killed if he misses the country!"
Feng Ziying couldn't help but frown. Yang Sichang was still very virtuous. He was polite to Sun Chengzong, but he was very contemptuous towards military men. He just called You Shilu by his name. He also yelled to kill, and he wanted to kill generals at every turn. Even if he was Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong did not have such a big temper.
"Wen Ruo, what's going on?" Feng Ziying asked patiently: "Didn't Mr. Zhisheng have a battle report?"
"Zhu Shenggong was also vague in the battle report. He was probably afraid of leaks from the DPRK. He only said that he would launch an attack on the northern front first, observe the enemy's defense situation, and try to break through the front line of the old city and capture the old city to threaten Dezhou, but the specifics How to fight, but they didn't mention it, and they said there were follow-up arrangements..." Yang Sichang sighed, "They all say that Ji Town is elite and good at fighting tough battles. The old city is not a high town in a heroic city. How can it be conquered in three days with superior troops? It can’t be pulled away. How did You Shilu fight in the war? Aren’t they all said that the You brothers are brave? Is it because they have earned their fame in vain, or are they still tiger brothers and dog brothers? "
This Yang Sichang really has a bad mouth. No wonder he is not popular among the people in the Ministry of War. With such a virtue, how can he not be hated by others? After all, the You brothers were promoted by their own father. To slander them like this in front of him, their emotional intelligence is worrying...
Feng Ziying shook her head, "I'm going to suffer some consequences from my life. Since Mr. Zhisheng has not returned with any other battle reports, it means that the battle in the old city is still under his control. There is no need to make a fuss." Feng Ziying said calmly: "As long as we start a fight, it will be fine. It shows that Duke Zhisheng has made preparations for war in all aspects."
Yang Sichang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "What you said, Ziying, makes sense. Brother Yu is a little impatient. However, this battle has been dragged on for so long, and the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi is getting worse day by day, and everyone in the court can't sit still."
"Haste makes waste. At times like this, we cannot act hastily. Zhishenggong still has some determination in this regard. Look at what he did in Sichuan. He went there for a year or two, but he didn't fight. Just train troops, even though they have no military exploits, the Sichuan Guards have trained well, otherwise how could Fei Baigong have such usable troops?" Feng Ziying said calmly.
Yang Sichang was a little dissatisfied. Xiong Tingbi played well in Bozhou and did have some relationship with the Sichuan Guards. However, the implicit meaning of Feng Ziying's words was that Xiong Tingbi's record was attributed to Sun Chengzong, but Xiong Tingbi's strategizing was compared with Jing's. Where should Xiangzhen put its efforts? Jingxiang Town was built by my father.
"Ziying, the situation is urgent now. Zheng Shenggong can't just sit back and serve as a chariot. We have to take measures. The court can't afford it." Yang Sichang looked at Feng Ziying and said, "Didn't Shuntian Mansion also say that it can't support the front line?" Are your husband and supplies provided?"
"These are two different things. Master, the Shuntian Prefecture has the unshirkable responsibility, but the supply of materials is a matter of the imperial household department, and the Shuntian Prefecture has no obligation to take care of it. I am the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, so of course I have to tell the story of the difficulties." Feng Ziying said calmly.
The fight would be endless if it continued. Yang Sichang took a breath. He was unwilling to fight with Feng Ziying. There was no point in it. Feng Ziying was not a general fighting on the front line, nor was he an important member of the Ministry of War. Coming to the Ministry of War might be the master's problem.
Feng Ziying is not willing to compete with Yang Sichang. Now Yang Sichang is regarded as a leader among the young scholars in Huguang. The Beidi scholars and the Huguang scholars now share weal and woe and are considered allies. If they are fighting among themselves, it is a joke.
"But don't worry, Wen Ruo. Mr. Zhisheng is good at military affairs, so he will naturally have his arrangements. We are in the rear, so it is better to just sit back and wait." Feng Ziying also took the initiative to calm down the atmosphere, "As long as there is a fight, I think there will be a chance."
Yang Sichang exhaled a breath and looked at Feng Ziying: "Ziying, where is your father? It's time to move."
"I don't know about that. My father would never tell me such things. Just like the reports from the Zhishenggong Company Military Department are vague, aren't they just for fear of leaks?" Feng Ziying said with a smile.
Feng Ziying came to see Wang Yingxiong.
Wang Yingxiong has just returned from the southwest. The Battle of Bozhou has been advancing for some time. Xiong Tingbi has achieved certain results and is steadily encircling and suppressing Yang Yinglong's Bozhou rebels. However, the recent new change is that Wang Ziteng has begun to take action in Huguang to contain Xiong Tingbi's encirclement. This also aroused the concern of the court.
Wang Yingxiong should have reported this situation when he came back.
When she saw Wang Yingxiong, Feng Ziying almost didn't recognize him.
He has lost weight and is much darker, but he looks stronger mentally and physically. This battlefield is the most training one. It seems that Wang Yingxiong has benefited a lot from the two years of hard work.
He punched Wang Yingxiong **** the shoulder. Wang Yingxiong grinned and punched Feng Ziying back, "I finally escaped with my life, and you are doing this to me?"
"If you stop yelling and fooling people, how long will it take for the Bozhou Rebellion to subside?" Feng Ziying said unceremoniously: "If the Sichuan Guards add Jingxiang Town, if Fei Baigong cannot take it down, all the princes in the court will not be able to sit down. Come on, you know what’s going on in Shanshan, it’s imminent.”
Wang Yingxiong was silent for a moment, as if he was calculating the situation, and then said after a long time: "If Wang Ziteng's Denglai army is blocked east of Shizhou and Yongshun, then Yang Yinglong will die within two or three months. I'm afraid Wang Yinglong will die within two or three months." If he rushes westward at all costs, Fei Baigong will have to mobilize his troops to deal with it, which will give Yang Yinglong a chance to breathe, and several other chieftains may also be ready to make a move."
Feng Ziying rubbed her chin, "How much power can the prince gain by staying in Huguang? Should he be allowed to do whatever he wants in Huguang? The imperial court should have requirements for Huguang, and it can no longer maintain this weird peace as before. It’s okay, this will damage the image of the imperial court.”
Wang Yingxiong shook his head, "Huguang locals are unwilling to break up with Wang Ziteng and beat Huguang to pieces. This is the tacit result of everyone. Wang Ziteng has not overly forced Huguang locals. For example, when the summer grain harvest is about to be harvested, Wang Ziteng Will they be so 'merciful'? I don't think so. Otherwise, Huguang's grain may be transferred to Henan, especially close to Henan, and then the conflict between the two sides will intensify..."
"It's too naive to place hope on this." Feng Ziying shook her head, "Wang Ziteng is a veteran and will not understand the importance of this. These local gentry are short-sighted and only care about immediate interests. It is easy for both parties to find a limit that everyone can accept. The imperial court was afraid of forcing Huguang to defect to Nanjing, so it was also a trap that led to this situation. After all, it was the poor situation of the imperial court that made Huguang lack confidence. It still depends on the outcome of the battle in Shandong. ."
Feng Ziying's sharp point left Wang Yingxiong speechless, but he had to admit that Feng Ziying saw the problem more deeply and his own judgment was simpler.
“Okay, this is something you and I can’t change. We just have to do our own thing.” Feng Ziying patted Wang Yingxiong on the shoulder.
"Are you going to Shaanxi? Dazhang, Yuxuan and Boya all went to Shanxi, and Mengzhang and Luyou went to the prefecture and county. It seems that our subjects in the Yonglong fifth year of Qingtan Academy will eventually have their own affairs. Everyone has gone his own way." Wang Yingxiong sighed.
"Good men are ambitious in all directions. This is also the destiny and responsibility of our generation." Feng Ziying encouraged the other party: "The Bozhou Rebellion will not last long. It is not the main battlefield. You will come back sooner or later. With the experience of the Bozhou Rebellion, I am much stronger than you in the Ministry of War, and I will be able to stand alone in the future."
"I really want to go to Ganning. I heard that the imperial court has given up on Hami and Shazhou?" Wang Yingxiong said cheerfully: "When Jiangnan is settled, I plan to apply to go to Ganzhou. It is best to follow Ban Chao's example. There is no reason why we, the great Zhou, can't do it if we go to the Western Regions, right?"
Feng Ziying also greatly appreciated Wang Yingxiong's idea, "It's not Xiong, well done. It's what a man did by opening up the territory. The Western Region is our country's homeland. It has fallen apart since the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The rule of the Ming Dynasty was weak, and the court was also unwilling and powerless. Waiting for When we go to the south of the Yangtze River, you and I will make plans and bring all of Western Xinjiang into the imperial court."
"Then it's a deal." Wang Yingxiong gave Feng Ziying a high-five and said, "I'm waiting for you. It's best if you can patrol Shaanxi for a longer time. To run Ganning, you can't do without the support of Shaanxi. "
Until she returned home, Feng Ziying was still in a state of excitement. The classmates around her were full of passion and looked forward to making achievements, but unfortunately the court was caught in civil strife.
Recall that the early seventeenth century was the late period of the Age of Discovery. Western colonists were arriving one after another. The entire Nanyang was slowly but irreversibly falling into the hands of these Western colonists, and he had only received information from the Fujian Navy before. The news came that even Japan, a small country, had taken action against Ryukyu. It was said that the Satsuma clan, with the support of the shogunate, suddenly sent troops to Ryukyu and had kidnapped the King of Ryukyu, Shoning King Junchen and others. They have not been released yet. This also made Feng Ziying The urgency of the situation is increasingly felt.
