Chapter 2044: The Guizijuan Duan clan has deep roots and luxuriant leaves.
Feng Ziying, one of the five famous eunuchs in the late Ming Dynasty, had already heard about it in his previous life. Just like the person listed in Donglin's general record, Feng Ziying felt that he could get used to it without being surprised.
Even when historical celebrities such as Nurhaci, Sun Chengzong, Ye Xianggao, Li Chengliang, and Ma Gui often appear around you, and even people like Yang Sichang and Sun Chuanting are creating history with you, Feng Ziying becomes numb. .
So what if there are more eunuchs, Qi Party, Chu Party and Donglin Party? Guan Yingzhen was still his master, and he was still the leader of the Chu Party in his previous life. Now he was still as close to him as his son.
It's not just to treat it with a normal mind, do whatever you want, just treat it as normal.
Of course Wei Zhongxian is gone. At least now Feng Ziying has not discovered how arrogant and domineering any of the father-in-laws named Wei in the palace is. Dai Quan, Xia Bingzhong, Qiu Shian and Zhou Peisheng hold the power of the palace servants, let alone the Hakka family. , Emperor Yonglong is not good at that, not to mention that his own life and death are uncertain now.
This is a chaotic world. There are some deviations in the timeline and character lines, but they are generally consistent. The Zhou Dynasty is here, the Ming Dynasty is gone. The Qing Dynasty is working hard to nip it in the cradle, and it is still there. struggle.
So when Feng Ziying first heard about Cui Chengxiu, the leader of the Five Tigers of the Eunuch Party, he was a little surprised and put it down.
Since this guy is someone who likes to cling to powerful people, how can Cui Chengxiu let him go without hugging him, who has the most promising thick legs now? Feng Ziying didn't believe it.
After Duan Xichang and Feng Ziying talked, they learned that Feng Ziying was going to rest in Yongjia Fort for a day, so he said he wanted to go back to Datong to report to the clan and left. Of course, before leaving, he also specifically told Zhao Shanxing to make arrangements here.
Zhao Shanxing still needs Duan Xichang's reminder. Knowing the power and influence of the Feng family in Datong, he will of course serve him well.
Although Yongjia Fort is small, there is a lot of space left for Feng Ziying and his party. For this reason, Zhao Shanxing specially vacated two houses that were originally the families of other officers for Feng Ziying and his party to live.
Although it was only for two days, Feng Ziying also wanted to appreciate the people's hospitality and kindness.
Yongjia Fort is a sparsely populated area and is at an angle to Lixintun and Chaihe Fort in Xuanfu Town. It is only forty miles away from Tianchengwei in the west, but the road is not easy to walk.
Precisely because there are few people here, Feng Ziying can also appreciate the great rivers and mountains in this town.
The main stream of the upper reaches of the Yang River flows under Yongjia Fort, and the winding mountains undulate all around, making this second-line fort look particularly peaceful.
"Sir, who wants to come here to guard? Sun Shaozu ran away and sold everything here. I used to be in Shumen Fort. Did you know? The north side of Mituo Mountain is a real front line. It's okay. Just like horse racing with the Tumut cavalry, occasionally when the relationship is not good, you can still gain something. You know, this is the case here. The relationship is good and bad, and they are the same, sneaking in and trying to make money. We can't neglect the autumn wind, can we?"
Of course Feng Ziying knew that Jumen Fort belonged to the North West Road of Datong Town. The Shunjuqiang Fort, Jumen Fort, Zhuma Fort, Baoan Fort and Weilu Fort stood in an arc on the side wall, facing Outside the side wall, there is water in the sea.
In the Han Dynasty, it was called Zhuwenze, later Xuanhongchi, and Yuanyangbo in the Song Dynasty. It was surrounded by the pastureland of the Tumut people.
There was a great battle between the Liao and Jin Dynasties here. Yelu Yanxi, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty, was defeated here and fled in embarrassment. After this battle, there was no hope for the Liao Kingdom's national power.
So this area has always been an important pasture land for the Tumut people. A large number of herdsmen graze in this area every year. It is also a key defense area in Datong Town.
From Fort Shumen to Fort Yonga, from the front to the rear all of a sudden, the change is indeed quite big.
I didn't expect that Zhao Shanxing was quite sharp-tongued, but I could tell that he was a veteran who had been working **** the border for a long time, but he might not have been very lucky. He was almost forty, and he was still a conduct officer, and he was still far from being a defensive officer. Take a big piece of it.
The generals who guard the small forts are basically of good character. Only the older ones can hold the status of guard, so it depends on luck and opportunity.
Coming here from Fort Shumen, he must have been promoted and taken charge of his own role. It turned out that Zhao Shanxing was working as a deputy there, but this Fort Yonga is too small and is on the second line. Basically, he will not be able to gain military exploits. He will be promoted in the future. Difficult.
“Shan Xing, it seems that you are not satisfied with the life here.” He was trying to please her, and Feng Ziying had to respond.
These are all officers from the same town as the boss. They have worked under their father for many years. However, they have not had the opportunity to climb up to the top, so they are wasting their time. Now that people are trying to please themselves like this, they obviously hope to have the opportunity to support them in the future. two.
"Haha, sir, the last general can still fight for ten years. What's the point of staying here all day watching the passing of merchants?" Zhao Shanxing sighed, "If you don't fight as a soldier, your life will be boring. , these Tumut people are also honest now, I heard that the Chahar people in the east of Xuanfu are still a bit naughty, but we are too far apart."
"With good deeds, there will be wars. In the second half of the year, I guess there will be no peace in our northern land, and there will be no peace anywhere. Let's train our troops. By then, we will have to fight all the battles." Feng Ziyingruo Meaningful and authentic.
“Oh? Really?” Zhao Shanxing’s eyes lit up.
A big shot like Feng Ziying would definitely disdain to deceive himself. He must have a basis for saying so, but what kind of war can Datong Town still fight?
Unless we follow the example of the Northwest Army and go out, we can see that the Northwest Army has driven Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu out of Shandong, and they can no longer stand in Shandong. If Jiangnan's propaganda can be determined, where else can we fight?
Feng Ziying didn't say much and smiled, "For good deeds, just train your troops honestly. What I say will always be fulfilled."
Feng Ziying is not very optimistic about the Yellow River defense line. If the Shaanxi rebels really enter Shanxi from the east, then this battle will have to be fought. Shanxi Zhenchai Guozhu's strength has been severely damaged due to Su Shengdu's loss of troops and territory, and it is still in a slow state. During the recovery period, it is difficult to say whether they can stop the rebels once they come over.
Seeing Zhao Shanxing scratching his head, Feng Ziying knew that this guy was probably born to like fighting. Letting them live an ordinary life would make them uncomfortable. Licking blood from the edge of a knife and fighting in battle were what they most yearned for. Life, even if you die, you have to die on the battlefield.
There are actually many officers and soldiers in various military towns who make a living and enjoy fighting. They do not like this ordinary life of guarding, but prefer to gain fame and wealth on the battlefield to prove their worth.
After staying in Yongjia Fort for one day, Feng Ziying and his party continued their journey westward, arriving in Yanghe City three days later. Here, a group of people from Datong Town received them and escorted them after learning that they were attacked.
Yang Yuan, the commander-in-chief of Datong Town, was still quite shocked that Feng Ziying was attacked on the road. Although it was not under his jurisdiction, if he didn't react after knowing about it, or if something went wrong again, I'm afraid he would be blamed. .
From Yanghe City to Datong Fucheng, it is basically a smooth journey, with only a settlement staying overnight.
Settlement is an important pass between Yanghe City and Datong Fucheng. It is also called Settlement Fort. It is also a small military city with nearly a thousand troops stationed.
Judging from the combat effectiveness of the garrisoned troops, many of them are composed of guardsmen drawn from various garrison stations. However, you must know that this is an important distribution center for supporting Yanghe City and Tiancheng Guards. If you look at the performance of these garrison troops, you will know that Datong The situation in the town is not optimistic either.
"Sun Shaozu caused great harm to Datong Town." The eldest of the three people sitting in the hall said solemnly: "Although he could only control the main forces on Xinping Road and East Road in Datong Town at that time, he secretly attracted Beidong Lu Luji and Xu Guanghan on the road and the middle road immediately stirred up almost half of the Datong Army. Fortunately, Ding Liangdong and I reacted quickly enough, otherwise the entire eastern and central five roads would have been almost wiped out."
"Fourth brother is too exaggerated. With you here, Sun Shaozu on the East Road can't pull him. He must have spent a lot of money on the East Road, but the result is the worst." Another officer with a mustache said cheerfully "Our Duan family has been in Datong Town for so many years. If Niu Jizong hadn't deliberately supported the two brothers Sun Shaozu and Sun Shaozong as soon as he took office, he would never even think about going east."
"Seventh brother, you are too confident. The Sun brothers still have some abilities. In addition, the historians still have some foundations in Xuanfu and Datong. The imperial court knew that Niu Jizong was not trustworthy, but they still refused to remove him. Doesn’t this give him the opportunity to take on the post of Governor-General of Xuanda?” The young man sitting at the bottom disagreed: “To me, this is raising a tiger to bring trouble, and the court will bring disaster on itself.”
Feng Ziying looked at the three outstanding members of the Duan family in the Datong Army. Duan Xichang, who came before, was not included. These three were the most important.
Duan Xirong, who was called the Fourth Brother, was the East Road General before Sun Shaozu's rebellion. He originally wanted to compete with the deputy general of the branch, but was suppressed by Yang Yuan and the Ministry of War. Apparently the court had no control over the power of Feng and Duan's family in Datong. It's still a bit taboo.
Seventh brother Duan Xitai was a guerrilla at Yunshibao on Weiyuan Road.
Lao Jiuduan is happy to be born, and he is guarded by Shanyin on Jingping Road.
This is basically the foundation of the Duan family in Datong Town. There is also Duan Depeng who cannot come due to official duties. The Feng family also has one or two outstanding people, but they are far less prosperous than the Duan family.
