Chapter 47 The Politics of this Era in Jiazijuan
Feng Ziying slept soundly.
From Dongchangfu to Linqing, we chose to set off at Xushi. After suffering for two days and one night, Feng Ziying couldn't stand it any longer, so she fell asleep on the boat.
He slept until the clipper had passed Daijiawan and was only a few miles away from Linqingzhou City, before Zuo Liangyu woke him up.
Both Chen Jingxuan and Zhao Wenzhao felt that Feng Ziying's calm sleep was unusual.
Facing such a huge war with uncertain consequences, this boy actually dared to fall asleep soundly before the war. If he didn't have a little bit of courage, he really couldn't do it, and this boy was only twelve years old.
Gan Luo Twelve can worship the Prime Minister, can he go out to war in Twelve? But no matter what, Feng Ziying's performance made Chen Jingxuan and Zhao Wenzhao feel better in their hearts.
“Are you here?” Feng Ziying stood at the bow of the big ship.
The boat slowly slowed down, and a loach quickly approached. This was provided by the Shanshan Liang Gang. It could accommodate more people than the Shansuo boat, but the speed was slightly slower.
“Well, Zhao and a brother, together with Chief Qin, will be with this little brother.” Zhao Wenzhao was very polite: “Mr. Feng, please rest assured, Zhao will guarantee the safety of this little brother...”
For the Jinyiwei, they can be polite to the censors and officials, and they can also be polite to the civil officials, but they are not so kind to the generals and other people. However, Zhao Wenzhao still maintains etiquette respect for Feng Ziying.
This kind of respect even made another general who followed him find it a bit incredible.
Even if this person can provide some help in this battle, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for the gang of rogues to make atonement for their crimes?
"Master Zhao Baihu, I wish that after this battle, Zhao Baihu will be able to call me Zhao Qianhu next time, but I also hope that Zhao Baihu will keep his promise, not only for the safety of my brother, but also for our previous I don't want the things I mentioned to become out of control in the end. Well, before leaving, the Inspector specifically mentioned to the Chief Military Officer that this year's water transportation is about to start. If the water transportation is delayed because of this, I'm afraid who will There’s no way to get better.”
Feng Ziying had to remind Zhao Wenzhao, who was beaming with joy, that this guy was a little carried away and might cross the bottom line.
Chen Jingxuan specifically reminded the other party, but the effect was not good.
Zhang Jin is gone, and the only person who can restrain the other party is gone. Chen Jingxuan can't stop shouting. Once he can't control it, Linqing City will be destroyed. It's okay to lose money and things. Once a fire is started, it will be difficult. Controlled.
He could only use Qiao Yingjia's tiger skin as a banner. In fact, had Qiao Yingjia ever discussed these matters with him?
Zhao Wenzhao shuddered slightly, Chen Jingxuan treated the young man quite politely, and Lord Qianhu also secretly told people to find out the details of this person, which shows that this person is extraordinary, just because there is Qiao Yingjia behind him, people have to weigh it. It is said that Mr. Cao suffered a hidden loss because of this.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Feng, Mr. Qianhu has given orders, and Zhao will not dare to go beyond them.” Zhao Wenzhao nodded.
It's strange that they dare not go overboard. This group of Jin Yiwei is somewhat restrained in front of civil servants. Today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can they give up easily?
Even the cavalry soldiers under Chen Jingxuan are gearing up, let alone these people who eat people without spitting out their bones?
He can only do his best to prevent the other party from being too presumptuous. I hope Chen Jingxuan can rein in these wild horses.
“Erlang, take Zhao Baihu and Commander Qin with them. Remember, don’t be too troublesome and let Uncle Wang and others act according to our original agreement.”
Feng Ziying didn’t have much to say at this time.
Logically speaking, it may be more reassuring for Wang Chaozuo if he goes, but if a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, he is not noble enough to ignore his own safety.
He had no choice but to swim out last night. He was no longer willing to take such a risk. He finally managed to escape, and even Lin Luoli saw it. How could he lose his life so easily?
As more than thirty large ships approached the outer city of Linqing, the entire outer city of Linqing seemed to wake up at a certain moment.
With the bursts of noise and commotion in the outer city, and the fire that soared into the sky, the entire situation in Linqing City immediately collapsed and became uncontrollable.
There is only one battalion of cavalry soldiers, no more than a few hundred people, but it is enough for this gang of bandits.
Feng Ziying had no intention of trying to be a hero at all.
In this case, even a stray arrow may buy his life, and a thief who comes out of nowhere can kill himself with a casual knife.
So, it is most appropriate to follow Chen Jingxuan and Zhao Wenzhao and their entourage obediently, chatting and laughing happily, while the boats and oars are reduced to ashes.
Two generals under Chen Jingxuan each led a team. The south road broke in from Nanshui Gate and Jingdai Gate, while the east road broke in directly along Dongshui Gate.
The rebels fought fiercely with the cauldron troops at the East Water Gate, but as Liu Weianhu led by Wang Chao Zuo suddenly fled, the entire East Water Gate immediately opened wide.
The Lifu gang in the south even whistled and dispersed, which only caused chaos in the entire outer city. Many places were set on fire by gangsters, causing chaos, but this was of no use in reversing the situation of the battle.
It can be said that the entire war was basically lackluster, without any exciting highlights.
This is only in Feng Ziying's opinion. In fact, Feng Ziying also knows very well that after he successfully persuaded the Cao soldiers to fight, there is no suspense in this war. This is not even a war, it is just a game of a bunch of officers and soldiers chasing away robbers. .
There was no time to integrate, and the rebel army was even arguing about the next step. They encountered a super-efficient night raid by cavalry soldiers. In addition, there were internal forces deliberately "disintegrating". You can't imagine this battle. It doesn’t matter if you lose.
The fanatical fighting power of the White Lotus Cult bandits only broke out once when they fled from Xiyanmen and Jingximen.
Hundreds of fanatical believers fought fierce battles with the caoyin soldiers in the area of Shi Hutong and Sanguan Temple. However, in front of the organized caoyin soldiers, these religious bandits, who were almost entirely supported by weapons such as bamboo poles, guns, hatchets and knives, could not hold on for long. , perhaps their only idea is to protect Xiyanmen so that most people can escape from Linqing City.
"Zhao Baihu, I'll take my leave now." Seeing Wang Chaozuo leaving in a confused and hasty manner following a guard in uniform, Feng Ziying couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
There is no other way. If you do something wrong, you will have to pay the price. If you want to save the hundreds of grass and willow weavers in Weijia Hutong, you can only cooperate with the government.
Fortunately, the White Lotus cult bandits have broken up and fled, and everything can be blamed on them. The grass and willow weavers were just taken advantage of and made a wrong step. The leader Wang Chaozuo repented and fought back, which was regarded as a solution to the problem. These hundreds of families escaped from bad luck.
Zuo Liangyu seemed to feel something. The previous excitement, contentment, satisfaction, and some unspeakable wildness were slowly fading at this time, and turned into a slightly unfamiliar hesitation and confusion. And then fell into silence.
Feng Ziying can even understand the reversal of such a young mind after encountering countless situations in one day. In other words, this is the price that needs to be paid for growth.
"Brother Feng, where is Uncle Wang..." Zuo Liangyu muttered for a long time and finally spoke.
"Erlang, I said that what I promised will not change." Feng Ziying looked at Zuo Liangyu's childish face that already had a hint of sternness, "I have already made an agreement with Zhao Baihu, Chief Military Officer There is no problem there. It might be a little more troublesome on the Linqing Prefecture side, but I said hello to Deacon Wang from the Liang Gang and asked him to clear it up for me."
"Then why does Zhao Baihu still..." Zuo Liangyu pursed his lips stubbornly.
"Erlang, you can't just admit your mistakes when you do something wrong." Feng Ziying sighed, "It's actually a good thing for Jin Yiwei to intervene. It can also be regarded as an explanation to Linqing Prefecture. Since Jin Yiwei didn't say anything in the end, Linqing Prefecture The government won’t pursue it too closely, and Deacon Wang is taking care of it, so basically there won’t be any big problems.”
Zuo Liangyu seemed to understand, but after all, he had never had any contact with the government, or people in the government at this level.
From the night before to today, within twenty-four hours, his little mind had accepted too many things that he had never seen, heard, or thought about before, plus various emotions such as excitement, fear, and excitement. The interweaving had made him exhausted, but he was not sleepy at all.
The helpless look in Wang Zhaozuo's eyes when he left made him realize that the problem was definitely not that simple, but he didn't know what to do. His only support was Brother Feng, who regarded him as his brother. Although Brother Feng is actually only half a year older than him.
Of course, the problem of Wang Chao Zuo will not be solved so easily. The civil unrest has escalated to bandit chaos. This is a qualitative change. Even if Wang Chao Zuo realizes the problem and turns around, you have done it, and this mark must be removed. Falling off is not that easy.
"Brother Feng, will Uncle Wang be okay?" Zuo Liangyu asked persistently, perhaps just wanting to give himself an explanation, his eyes fixed on Feng Ziying's face. It seemed that as long as Feng Ziying said a word, everything would be fine. question.
"Erlang, there won't be any big problems." Feng Ziying took a deep breath, "Even if there is, I will find a way to solve it. I believe in you, Brother Feng."
