Chapter 2402 The Gui Zi Scroll is brewing and the target is locked.
Looking at Sister You’s half-smiling look, Feng Ziying glared at her awkwardly, “What’s wrong, are you looking at me like this?”
"It's nothing, I just feel that when I left, I swore that this trip was busy with official business. No matter how hard I was, who would have thought that two new people would have to come into the house this time. If you have to go out again in the future, I'm afraid Grandmas really need to send someone to follow me, I really can’t bear such a heavy responsibility alone.”
Sanjie You’s teasing left Feng Ziying speechless.
What they said is right. When I left, I said I was busy with military affairs, so I didn't even need to take a personal maid with me, otherwise Jin Chuan'er or Ping'er would follow. It was enough to have a bodyguard and bed partner, Third Sister You.
But it’s only been more than a month since they came out, and there are sisters like Li Min and Li Qi. How can I say this?
"Okay, who else do I need to explain to? Of course I will talk to Wan Jun, Baochai and Daiyu." Feng Ziying said angrily: "To be honest, I also..., forget it, let's not talk about it, it's a done deal. It’s like cooking rice before it’s raw, it seems that if I talk about this, I’m a bit unbearable.”
"I still have to figure out how to explain to Grandma Zhu." Sanjie You glanced at Feng Ziying, "It's better to have three in a bed or four in a bed. It's all trouble. When a woman is jealous, there is no reason to say it. "
Feng Ziying felt a headache.
How should Li Wan explain this?
Even though sisters Li Min and Li Qi said they would talk to their cousin, would Feng Ziying do that?
Having slept with two younger sisters, don’t you even have the guts to tell her face to face?
He, Feng Ziying, is not that bad.
But now is not the time to think about these issues, there are more important things waiting for him.
“Is Wen Yan here?” Feng Ziying ignored this matter and focused on business.
Sun Chengzong will arrive in Nanjing within two days. The situation in Yangzhou has been stabilized and handed over to Cao Wenzhao.
As for the tens of thousands of horses in Huaiyang Town, Suzhou has one part, Yangzhou is the main part, and there are also two parts in Qingjiangpu and Baoying, Huai'an, which were given to You Shiwei for control.
The troops and horses on Wang Ziteng's side are easy to handle. As long as they don't enter Nanjing, they can be stationed nearby in Jiujiang, Hezhou and Luzhou. He Renlong will monitor them with his headquarters.
However, with Wang Ziteng's official resignation, Feng Ziying also made it clear on behalf of the Ministry of War that the officers and soldiers of the old Denglai Town would be directly transferred to the new Denglai Town. They are all descendants of Shandong and will never be treated badly.
This guarantee also made the officers and soldiers of Old Denglai Town, who were mainly from Shandong, immediately calm down, so Denglai Town is the most stable.
Niu Jizong and Xuanfu Town and Sun Shaozu's Datong Army will be more troublesome.
The Xuanfu army basically came from the vicinity of Gyeonggi, and its soldiers were mainly from Shuntian, Baoan, Zhending, and Baoding. Niu Jizong had strong control. Although Liu Dongyang took over now, this group of people was more worried about the future, so Feng No one on Tang's side dared to take it lightly.
Sun Shaozu's side was relatively better. After all, his father was a former general of the Datong Army. He personally visited the Datong Army, exchanged greetings with them, calmed down a few generals who led the troops, gave some promises, and barely stabilized the situation. .
"Mr. Wang has arrived." Sanjie You stopped chatting and got down to business. "Mr. Wang also reminded that in the future, my husband will go out. No matter where he goes, I will follow him. He said that he will probably have to deal with many things in the near future. There are many local powerful people in Jiangnan involved, and there is no guarantee that someone will jump over the wall in a hurry, so the protection needs to be strengthened. Now this house has too many loopholes. I am afraid that the defense plan and measures will have to be redone. I also told Mr. Li, He is also organizing people to study it again."
Wu Yaoqing is still in Yangzhou and has not returned yet, and may have to wait until Sun Chengzong comes to Nanjing together.
Although the situation in Yangzhou seems to be stable, he does not dare to take it lightly, so Feng Ziying would rather play it safe.
Li Guibao had to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting him here. Fortunately, Li Guibao had quite a lot of experience over the years. After realizing that the risk of Feng Ziying’s assassination in Nanjing and Yangzhou had increased sharply, he quickly acted like his master Shaolin and Jiangnan. Reliable local sects asked for help, such as the Qiushui Sword Sect in Yangzhou.
Except for the trip to Liaodong, which was better because it was a military-controlled area, there was no peace in Beizhili from Yongping Prefecture to Shuntian Prefecture, and the trip to Shaanxi was even more turbulent.
Now coming to Jiangnan, the situation is probably more dangerous than in Shaanxi, so Li Guibao feels that being the head of the bodyguard is really hard work, and of course it is worth it.
The right minister of the Ministry of War means that Shaolin disciples will have many more opportunities in the army in the future. In fact, the army has always been one of the two major destinations for famous sects in the world, and the other one is the three divisions of the punishment room of the Ministry of Punishment and the local government. Yamen.
Compared with the limited positions in the local government and the Ministry of Punishment, although the local government and the Ministry of Punishment are definitely more impressive in terms of **** income, as a person in the world, it is basically impossible for you to achieve a position such as a general judge and an official. In other words, they can only work in the inspection department, the head catcher of the third shift of the Yamen, the clerk of the punishment room, and the punishment department, and they can work under the various cleaning officials departments such as the chief arrester, the head catcher and other low-level positions. similar role, but the opportunities are much greater in the military.
The military pays more attention to ability and performance. If you can perform well in various battles and earn opportunities and honors for your superior, your superior will definitely not hesitate to promote you. Once the opportunity comes, it will be faster than struggling in the local area. Much more.
If you still have connections at the top, you will have the chance to rise to the top and even be promoted to level three.
This is also the main reason why Li Guibao and his disciples work so hard.
Feng Ziying will not take care of these things. Professional matters are left to professional people. Li Guibao's performance in recent years has proven himself. Even Wu Yaoqing has gradually handed over such specialized security matters to Li Guibao.
Of course, more Shaolin disciples will come in from various channels to practice in this position, and some outstanding performers have been recommended by Feng Ziying to join the Northwest Army and Denglai Army. As for whether they can succeed in the future, That depends on their own abilities and luck.
To move the New Four Families, the scope of involvement is quite wide, especially if we have to catch up all the other powerful families in Jiangnan that are involved in the New Four Families, it is an even more massive project.
The scope of the Zhen family alone is quite large.
This Prince Yi Zhong's money bag in the south of the Yangtze River in the past, with the establishment of the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty, came into contact with the old Jiangnan scholars such as Tang Mu and Zhu Gu, as well as the confidants like Jia Jing who had been following Prince Yi Zhong for a long time. Intense contradictions and constant conflicts.
From its peak to its decline, the Zhen family was indeed very prosperous in the two years since the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty was established. Zhen Yingjia even occupied the position of the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing, eclipsing Jia Jingdu. This also aroused great controversy from all parties. Dissatisfied, there was a big fuss.
However, as Prince Yi Zhong suddenly left and returned to Beijing, Tang Mi and others were accepted by the court because of their background as scholars. However, people like him who were born in martial arts but had connections whose influence was more on the economic level, mainly in Jiangnan The wealthy families in this area suddenly dimmed.
And anyone can see that as the deputy center of power is transferred to the capital city and merged with the imperial court, Nanjing's political status will rapidly decline, and the associated economic impact will also decline sharply.
Everyone is speculating whether the imperial court will retain the Nanjing Six Ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If not, the Nanjing Ministry of Household's tax dispatching power over the Jiangnan area will completely disappear, which will undoubtedly be another huge impact.
What is even more dangerous is that the imperial court has always been ambiguous and non-committal towards some people in Jiangnan, such as Li Shouxin, Jia Jing, and of course the Zhen brothers Zhen Yingjia and Zhen Yingyu.
The problems of Li Shouxin and Jia Jing are both very clear, and they are more limited to themselves, but the two brothers Zhen Yingjia and Zhen Yingyu also mean that the entire Zhen family will be involved. If the Zhen brothers cannot gain understanding from the court, then the Zhen family will be in trouble. Like the meat on the chopping board, it is in danger.
In this situation, one can imagine how sensitive the Zhen family is to the movements.
“Sir, Master Jia said that the Zhen family is very important and should not be underestimated.” Feng Ziying was still a little surprised that Wang Wenyan could say this.
Wang Wenyan knew that the Zhen family must be moved and uprooted. Not only was the Zhen family the number one player in the New Four, but moving them would be equivalent to swatting the fly instead of the tiger. It was meaningless, and then had to deal with it. It is even more difficult for Zhou Hutao and other related and vassal powerful families.
"Oh? Wen Yan, even you feel it's difficult and stressful?" Feng Ziying laughed, "What's the matter? Where is the movement coming from?"
"Someone came to visit last night and left a banknote from Haitong Bank for thirty thousand taels. Haha, I never thought that I was worth so much, thirty thousand taels. I hope I can help persuade you to be merciful. ..." Wang Wenyan also had a look of disbelief on his face, "I estimate that it is not difficult for you to offer a price of 2.3 million yuan."
“Two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand?” Feng Ziying was also quite emotional, “But the imperial court wants two to three million, what can I do?”
“Just hand over the money?” Wang Wenyan asked in return.
Feng Ziying slowly shook her head, "I'm afraid it's not enough. The Zhen family has been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for so many years. It is like the center of a spider web, involving many powerful families. It provides a lot of confidence for the Nanjing puppet government to dare to raise its flag, so the court will not tolerate such tyranny. The family continues to exist in Jiangnan. The eradication of the three towns in Jiangnan not only solved the military threat, but also eradicated its economic foundation. Therefore, the Zhen family must be eliminated. Their fate has already been determined. Of course, this does not mean that they must die. , but wealth, influence, and connections must be completely cut off."
