Chapter 2122 Gui Zi Juan works step by step and exerts his strength
After returning to Wubao from Mizhi, Feng Ziying quickly threw herself into intensive work.
Wubao is very important, especially the communication between Yulin Valley and Qikou Ferry, which allows the communication between Shanxi and Shaanxi to flow smoothly through this channel. The upper part of Laoniu Bay in the north is mainly used for transportation between Yulin Town and Shanxi Town. communication.
As for the Longmen and Hejin areas further south, they had been threatened and controlled by the rebel armies, and instead became the passage for the Qin and Jin rebel armies.
Feng Ziying feels that if Shanxi comes up with countermeasures quickly, the situation in southern Shanxi and eastern Xi'an will further deteriorate.
Logically speaking, Shaanxi also has a responsibility, but who asked me to do it? It is already quite difficult to keep Yan'an Prefecture organized and stable.
I am not a god, and I don't have the ability to wait for someone to turn the beans into an army and turn the stone into gold, so that I can put down the entire chaos in Shaanxi in one fell swoop.
The task deadline set by the imperial court is one and a half years, which means that the situation in Shaanxi must be brought under control by the end of next year at the latest. Feng Ziying's goal is to be completed during the summer harvest next year, half a year ahead of the imperial deadline.
It’s only been a month now, and Feng Ziying feels that she can make a big splash after being able to open up a situation in the northern part of Yan’an Prefecture.
Feng Ziying, the man sent by Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie, sent them back. He also brought letters to them, asking them to take immediate measures to solve the problem of the rebels east of Xi'an Prefecture entering Shanxi, and authorizing them to use the entire Xi'an and Hanzhong with full power. The guards of the four prefectures of , Fengxiang, and Gongchang solved the problem, and Shaanxi Dusi fully cooperated.
This is not Feng Ziying's pretense. His request to Xie Zhenye was to fully support Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie in quelling the chaos in the eastern counties of Xi'an. Even if they drove all the rebels to Hedong, it would be considered a success, but the only requirement was that Xi'an The government situation must be stabilized and cannot continue to spread westward.
The Yulin Army began to divide its forces into two groups and march south from Yinzhou Pass and Longzhou City. They began to clear out the border villages in Suide and Mizhi in the mountainous areas north of the Yulin Army. They were ordered to immediately count their numbers and register them. All the young and strong men were sent to Suide and Mizhi. Cheng and Mizhi counties accept check-in and registration.
At the same time, Shanxi merchants who had close relations with them and provided them with commercial and trade support were also summoned by Feng Ziying and asked them to cooperate with the government in cleaning up these border villages. They were no longer allowed to trade with them without government approval.
With a two-pronged approach, Feng Ziying believes that these border villages will soon report obediently and accept the arrangements within a month.
"Sir, Modlen and Qiu Zixiong want to see you." Wu Yaoqing smiled and stepped in the door. "They wanted to see you last time, but I excused you by saying that you went to Suide Mizhi. They were panicked, knowing that you would definitely not come back. The border village is allowed to live in its current state, so I always hope to see the adults state their difficulties."
"Everyone has difficulties, but this is not a reason to be independent of government control." Feng Ziying replied, and after thinking for a while, she said: "I guess they also got the news that the Yulin Army was clearing the border village, and they couldn't sit still. This Have they been honest for a while?"
"It's quite honest, so I stationed myself safely near Yuqiao Valley. However, I had frequent contacts with those small border villages. These small border villages also communicated with each other, and also communicated secretly with Big Rabbit Falcon Village and Boluosi Village. I hope Get the best result." Wu Yaoqing introduced: "The reorganization has already begun, but I feel that Wang Chengwu's Yueshan camp is the most powerful and the most decisive action. Mr. Zheng has been full of praise, saying that Wang Chengwu's heart is with the court and he is loyal. Jia,…”
Feng Ziying laughed. Zheng Chongjian praised Wang Chengwu so much. It seemed that Wang Chengwu was really determined to be his loyal dog.
In terms of loyalty, Wang Chengwu is much stronger than the father and son Jing Zhizhong and Kuang Zhengcao. Those two families are forced to do so or are driven by interests. Although Wang Chengwu also has interests, he is too strong-willed but once he has made the right choice, he will not waver.
“Why, Boya and Yuxuan are not advancing smoothly in Datu Falcon Village and Polo Temple Village?”
"No, but it is inevitable to have some bargaining. Many people in these two villages are used to being lazy. They suddenly have to become an official army and are subject to various restrictions. The intensity of daily training is far greater than their original life. , so it must be a bit difficult to adapt. Although the two companies, Jing Zhizhong and Kuang Zhengcao, are in a dominant position in the village, this kind of border village is still a border village where everyone voluntarily surrenders as a vassal, and the coercion is not that strong..."
"What do Boya and Yuxuan mean?" Feng Ziying pondered. Since it was left to Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu, Feng Ziying did not want to interfere too much, as that would appear to be disrespectful and questioning of the two.
"Masters Sun and Chen are still adapting, but my subordinates think that food, weapons, and armor are all in our hands, which is enough to make them bow their heads. Now it is just the initial discomfort. When they feel hungry and uncomfortable, , when they know that their relatives in the border village still need our food to save their lives, they will soon be struck down by the cruelty of reality."
Wu Yaoqing's words made Feng Ziying smell Sun Chuanting's scent, and asked with a smile: "Is this what Boya said?"
"Yes, Mr. Sun is very confident and doesn't take it seriously at all. He said that transforming these border troops is a grinding job and cannot be done overnight. If you rush for success, you will leave troubles in the future, so you have to do it step by step. The mentality of these people was gradually changed, and they were trained according to the standards of the border army, so as to avoid having to rework in the future and become a dummy meal."
Wu Yaoqing’s words made Feng Ziying very satisfied, “What about Yuxuan?”
"Master Chen is slightly different. He advocates that the leaders inside should be hammered and adjusted. If they don't obey the instructions, they will be punished by military law. Those who should be rewarded or bribed will be rewarded heavily..." Wu Yaoqing said at the corner of his mouth With a bit of a smile, he was obviously very interested in the two different methods of Sun Chuanting and Wu Yaoqing.
Feng Ziying thought thoughtfully. It's hard to say which one of these two methods is better, but Sun Chuanting's progress will definitely be slower, but the win lies in stability, a good foundation, and stronger durability. Chen Qiyu's method has more cohesion. Mainly concentrated on officers, but the combat effectiveness is not necessarily inferior.
"Well, let them do it." Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, "The Big Rabbit Falcon Village will be named Tufeng Camp. Doesn't he have the most war horses? I hope to give full play to its assault advantage; the Polo Temple Village will be named Destroy The city camp, I hope it will be invincible when it sieges the city."
"On the personal barracks side, Yu'erhe Village does not have many manpower, and General Feng is personally in charge of it. Moreover, Yu Changhe himself is the most eager to be recruited. When he learned that he would become the personal barracks of the Lord, he was also overjoyed. He kept saying that it turned out that I didn’t have the chance to become the governor’s personal soldier, but now I can become the governor’s personal soldier, which is also fate.” Wu Yaoqing said cheerfully.
“This guy is quite good at talking.” Feng Ziying was also in a particularly comfortable mood.
The fighting ability of the people in Yuerhe Village is not bad, but their numbers cannot be compared with those of the four major villages. It is natural for them to be included in the personal barracks.
According to Feng Ziying's idea, the fire guns coming from Shuntian Prefecture and Yongping Prefecture must first enrich the personal barracks and build a powerful personal barracks.
Although the personal barracks only has one man and horse, there are five sentries, so Feng Ziying plans to organize it according to the scale of one sentry with self-generated fire cannons, one sentry with Musket cannons, two posts with ordinary fire cannons, plus one sentry with sword and shield soldiers.
This is somewhat unreasonable, but considering that the role of the guard camp is to be used as a reserve or commando, it is necessary to have poorer protective capabilities and stronger offensive capabilities.
"Of course they are happy. Being able to become the governor's personal soldiers will suddenly change their future destiny. In comparison, the fate of Boyan Village and Baitang Village will be much more miserable." Wu Yaoqing said softly: "The outside world doesn't know yet. How to deal with Boyan Village and Baitang Village, I just know that your Excellency has not yet agreed to their surrender."
"Well, that's alright, let's just meet. You arrange a time for Modlen and Qiu Zixiong to come separately, and I'll meet them alone." Feng Ziying rubbed her chin and said, "I plan to promise a lot of profit, and let Modlen and Qiu Zixiong each come separately." On the other hand, I am worried that time is too tight. If the situation in the eastern part of Xi'an Prefecture is out of control, my idea of moving the three prefectures in northern Shaanxi first will affect the situation in the south."
Wu Yaoqing frowned: "Sir, do you plan to let them go all the way south to Qingjian and Yanchuan, and then to Baishui and Hancheng?"
"Almost, let Qiu Zixiong go. I feel that Qiu Zixiong needs to be more controllable. Modlen has a treacherous mind. This guy may not be able to obey orders." Feng Ziying thought about it and said: "But it's not necessarily that Qiu Zixiong has to think outside the box. If The situation on our side is unfavorable, and this guy may turn around faster than we thought."
"In the final analysis, we are strong, so that they have no chance to take advantage of others and can only listen to us." Wu Yaoqing said with certainty: "These rebels are just grassroots. If they have any beliefs, they are all false. talk."
"Haha, Yao Qing, these people had difficulty making ends meet before. They just had the idea of survival. It would be too high for you to use other standards." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "I know well that in Datong, Fan The Fan family and the Cao family took the initiative to set up a call. I asked Gu Dengfeng and Qian Guisheng to contact them. Relying too much on the Wang family is not a long-term solution. A proper balance is also necessary. Since the Fan family and the Cao family are optimistic about me entering Shaanxi, I Of course I’m willing to give them a chance.”
Wu Yaoqing knew that Gu Dengfeng and Qian Guisheng were two chess pieces hidden in the dark. They had not been visible in the early stage, but now it seemed that they were starting to show up.
