Chapter 2662: It doesn’t matter whether the Guizi scroll is right or wrong.
Feng Ziyi left the city quietly.
Even He Zhisheng was not notified.
As a senior military attaché of the Dragon Guard, he has his own connections and sources of information within the Dragon Guard.
When news came that Lu Song started to have an ambiguous attitude, he began to be wary.
But he also knew that Lu Song, Zhang Jin and Feng Ziying had always had a good relationship, especially Zhang Jin, who had been friends for many years, and was closer than his nephew, who had finally become relatives.
So at first he was just vigilant, and then quietly inquired for information, but later when Lu Song frequently summoned Zhang Jin, he realized something was wrong.
Zhang Jinshi was the commander of the Banner Guards and was directly in charge of the palace. Moreover, the Banner Guards were located slightly higher than the Warriors Camp and the Four Guards Camp. Although the daily arrangement of the entire Palace Guards was nominally negotiated between the Banner Guards, the Four Guards Camp, and the Warriors Camp, there was still one In terms of priority, the standard guard usually proposes the plan. If there is no objection from the Fourth Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion, it will be implemented. If there is any objection, it will be discussed separately.
Lu Song's contact with Zhang Jin has quietly become much closer, which has never happened before. This cannot help but make Feng Ziyi suspicious.
Then he arranged for people to keep a close eye on Zhang Jin. This was very dangerous, but fortunately Zhang Jin was no longer a member of the Long Jinwei, but the commander of the flag guard. His vigilance in this regard was no longer as high as when he was a Long Jinwei. He was sharp, so Feng Ziyi still discovered some clues.
Especially since Zhang Jingqiu, the former Minister of War, had contact with the two of them, this makes people even more suspicious.
Half a month ago, Zhang Jin changed the rotation of the Palace Guards with the Warrior Battalion on the grounds that they would conduct a training session for the flag-bearing guards in twenty days. The guards of the Warrior Battalion were supposed to be replaced by the flag-bearing guards on the tenth day of the round.
Feng Ziyi was immediately worried that there was something fishy going on here.
As some rumors began to spread in the city, there were discord and even quarrels in the cabinet, Prime Minister Qi was seriously ill, Li Sancai suddenly became active, and rumors of the battle for the next chief minister, these all seemed to be hidden in the mist. Feng Ziyi was horrified by the truth slowly revealed.
When he quietly went to Feng Mansion to meet Feng Tang to talk about the matter, Feng Tang also realized that the danger was approaching.
In particular, Feng Tang knew that Qi Yongtai would summon cabinet ministers today to discuss the replacement of the cabinet. This meant that if some people wanted to do something unruly, they would do so within the next day or two, and Feng Ziying had already written to mention it. Three to five days after the letter is sent back to the capital, he will arrive at the Santun Camp of Jizhen Government Office for inspection.
Two days before Feng Ziyi went to Feng Tang's place, Sun Shaozu had just sent a letter to Feng Tang, which made Feng Tang feel even more anxious.
All signs point to a big change happening in Beijing within the next two days. Fortunately, Feng Ziying was very decisive and went to Jizhen for "inspection".
Calculating the days, Feng Ziying was almost there, so Feng Tang did not hesitate to ask Feng Ziyi to rush to Santun camp to report the news.
Feng Ziying has indeed arrived at Santun Camp.
He traveled day and night after leaving Guangning. He didn't dare to delay at all, just because he was worried that something would go wrong.
Although I felt that Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia should be vigilant and have some countermeasures, I thought that Master Qi was too honest and might not be able to adapt to some sinister methods. And if Long Jinwei, the most important eyes and ears, once became deaf, Blindness will definitely have a huge impact on the cabinet's judgment and may even lead to misjudgment.
At this time, Feng Ziying realized the many sequelae caused by her leaving the capital city in the past two years, that is, without being in the center, it was difficult to most intuitively feel and judge whether the former allies and friends had changed, and how much had changed, and thus also It is difficult to make a reasonable response.
Let’s not talk about people like Xiao Ruxun. They are not from the same group, but Ma Chengxun has some connections.
I recommended him, but the Feng and Ma families are indeed competitors in Datong, but now that everyone has jumped out of Datong, theoretically the contradictions have been reduced a lot. If they deliberately win over each other, they may not be able to win over, but I can't. He didn't have that much energy, but Li Sancai or even Emperor Wan Tong succeeded.
Feng Ziying doesn't care if she misses something, she just misses it. As long as she firmly grasps the initiative, she is not afraid.
“Brother Shigong, I’m afraid this won’t work.” Feng Ziying directly criticized You Shigong as soon as she arrived at Santun Camp.
Although he had written to You Shigong specifically to prepare for mobilizing troops, Feng Ziying did not explain the reason because it involved matters in Beijing. You Shigong thought that Feng Ziying wanted to check the combat readiness situation, so Only more than 10,000 people were deployed at the Santun Camp headquarters for drills.
On the way to deliver the letter, my father mentioned that almost all the elite troops of the Xuanfu army had been sent out. Except for those who had to stay at the border and could not be mobilized, more than 50,000 elite troops had already stationed in Huailaiwei. If Sun Shaozu's more than 10,000 troops were added, In other words, more than 60,000 and close to 70,000 elite border troops have been assembled in the northwest direction of the capital city.
It can be said that as long as Liu Wei gave an order, the 70,000 border troops suddenly arrived at the capital city, and the fifth military camp supporting Li Sancai in the capital city controlled the city gate to open, there was no suspense.
Although Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu entered the designated area in advance, the two troops combined only have more than 16,000 people. Even if Sun Shaozu suddenly changes sides, it is estimated that it will be difficult to contain or resist the advancing Xuanfu army.
Fortunately, before arriving at Santun Camp, Feng Ziying received good news. The He Renlong Division of the Denglai Army assembled in Niuzhuang finally broke the ice and sailed straight to Dagu. It is estimated that we should arrive in Daku by this time.
He Renlong's tribe has more than 20,000 people. Once it reaches Dagu, it can quickly move westward. Whether by water or land, it can reach the Tongzhou line in two or three days. If Liu Wei really wants to act rashly, then he must not let He Ren Ryubu also joined in.
You Shigong was a little surprised and vaguely aware of it, but he was unwilling to reveal it until Feng Ziying told him. Feng Ziying could interfere with the affairs in Beijing, but he could not.
“Why did the Governor say this?”
"Brother Shigong, we have been friends for many years. Although we each have responsibilities now, it's just the two of us. There is no need to be rigid. Just call me Ziying." Feng Ziying is actually more familiar with You Shilu and You Shiwei. On the contrary, the eldest brother, the three brothers of the You family, is still separated by one layer, but with his father and him having known each other for so many years, the relationship is certainly not ordinary.
“Brother Shigong, if you don’t even know this, then I’m afraid you are not qualified as the commander-in-chief of Ji Town. Why are you still pretending to be stupid in front of me?” Feng Ziying smiled.
"Hey, Ziying, I know what you are talking about, but the internal disputes in the cabinet are all the affairs of the civil servants. Where is it our turn to care about the warriors, it is best for us to stay far away and do nothing. You know, just listen to the orders from above." You Shigong sighed, "If a warrior intervenes in such matters, you are not far from disaster."
"Haha, hide far away? What if you can't hide? What if I want to get involved?" Feng Ziying's eyes were indifferent, but her tone was straightforward: "There are some things that you can't hide from. You are the commander-in-chief of Ji Town and the gateway to Gyeonggi Province. Can you live with it? Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, there is nothing to hide from, and there is no way to hide, especially with me as the governor here, there is no way to hide."
You Shigong was speechless and breathing rapidly. After looking at Feng Ziying for a while, he said calmly: "Ziying, does the boss know?"
"Can you not know? He is in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. He goes there for a walk every day. Can he get around the things in the capital city?" Feng Ziying was relieved when she saw You Shigong asking this question. , this person has been in charge of Ji Town for many years. After several rounds of adjustments, he has firmly grasped Ji Town. If he firmly refuses to get involved, he will really be in trouble.
You Shigong is of course also considering it.
Of course he knew the weight of his position as the commander-in-chief of Jizhen. Emperor Yonglong had wooed him many years ago. He did not refuse, but he also turned against his old boss without saying anything. He tried to maintain a balance as much as possible, and then Emperor Yonglong Something happened and Emperor Wan Tong succeeded to the throne. Of course, he tried to win over him and make friends with him, but he was not very interested in this.
Feng Ziying's strong rise has completely changed the situation in the entire peripheral army.
He made large-scale adjustments to the armies in Beijing and the towns of Ganning, Shanxi, Liaodong, Datong, Jiangbei, and Denglai, demonstrating his style as a minister of the Ministry of War. Regardless of Jiangnan, Feng Ziying's reputation as a knowledgeable soldier and civil servant reached its peak.
There are few warriors who do not admire Feng Ziying. Even those who are not convinced, such as Chai Guozhu, Ma Chengxun, and Yang Yuan, have to admit that Feng Ziying is the best among the civil servants since the Zhou Dynasty. The materials used are also extremely bold, so they have won the support of a large number of new generals.
The establishment of the Army Officer School and the Naval Officer School later laid the foundation for him to be the first in the army. Even if Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzonggui were ministers of the Ministry of War, their status in the hearts of military people was far inferior to Feng Ziying.
"Then the general will naturally obey the orders of the governor." You Shigong responded decisively without any hesitation.
"Well, Brother Shigong, it's good that you have this consciousness. There are some things that cannot be avoided. The new pattern has been formed and is running well. However, some people want to go the other way, as if they are still wallowing in the old days, or are unwilling to do so. Isn’t it ridiculous to withdraw from the stage of history and act like a chariot with a mantis’ arm?” Feng Ziying said leisurely: “There are still people who are obsessed with personal feelings and righteousness, cannot see the situation clearly, and are dizzy. Such people should have been eliminated long ago.”
Although it is not clear who exactly Feng Ziying is referring to in his words, I can roughly feel that they are those people. However, You Shigong himself is not sure what the nature of this turmoil is. , there are also cabinet ministers, and on one side are the cabinet civil servants. Who is right and who is wrong?
But it doesn’t matter who is right or wrong, what matters most is who wins.
