Chapter 631: T-shaped conspiracy (Third update, please vote for me!)
Zhang Jingqiu gently rubbed his temples, while Chai Ke also had a gloomy face.
It should be said that in the past six months, Li Chengliang could not afford to be ill, and the situation in Liaodong did not change much. The Jurchens in Jianzhou were relatively stable.
Of course, their conquests against the surrounding Haixi Jurchen tribes were still proceeding in an orderly manner, which made Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke feel anxious and anxious, but also extremely helpless.
It is very rare for the situation in Liaodong to be stabilized at present. With Li Chengliang becoming "bedridden", the already somewhat loose Liaodong Army became even more disorganized, and a kind of atmosphere spread inside.
If this delay continues, I am afraid that the Liaodong Army itself will collapse before the planned logistics support front for Liaodong is completed.
"Xiu Ling is not enough. If he can give Xiu Ling a few more years to polish and accumulate in Gansu and Ningxia, maybe he can, but he can't afford it now." Zhang Jingqiu shook his head, "Liaodong is not as good as Gansu or Ningxia. In Yulin Shanxi, once a loss is made, it can never be undone, and the court does not dare to take this risk."
Chai Ke also understood what Zhang Jingqiu meant. The fate of the entire Zhou Dynasty was at stake. Who dared to take this risk?
Although Yang He has experienced counterinsurgency in Western Xinjiang, he has been working in the Metropolitan Procuratorate before and has not accumulated much experience. Moreover, Liaodong Town has arrogant soldiers headed by the Li brothers, and civil servants are going to calm down the situation. Then the only way is to kill people to establish prestige, and Liaodong obviously cannot withstand this kind of torment.
"Chen Jingxuan can't do it either. Although he comes from a family of military generals, we all know how much he has experienced over the years. The Shandong Civil War is probably the only 'war' he has experienced in these years, right?" Chai Ke sneered, "A bunch of White Lotus Sect How can we compare with the Jurchens from Jianzhou?"
“How is Liu Wei?” Zhang Jingqiu suddenly asked.
"Liu Wei is fierce and brave, with an arrogant personality, but he can hardly be a handsome man. He is not capable of taking charge of Liaodong, and there is also news from the Zifang Division that Bozhou is unstable and there are many warnings in the area. Liu Wei is afraid I can't move for the time being..." Chai Ke shook his head and thought for a moment before adding: "Maybe Xiong Tingbi..."
"Zishu, you are really good at promoting talents and not avoiding relatives. Aren't you afraid that people will say that you are in a clique?" Zhang Jingqiu laughed, "It's a pity that the time is not right. A few years' delay may allow Feibai to go to Liaodong, but it's not possible now. "
Xiong Tingbi is indeed a handsome man and a native of Huguang, but he is not suitable for the current Liaodong.
During Xiong Tingbi's tenure as censor, he impeached Li Chengliang many times, especially when Li Chengliang abandoned Kuandian Liubao. Xiong Tingbi took the lead in impeaching him. His relationship with the Li family was extremely bad. Li Chengliang was incompatible with them. Now the Li brothers in Liaodong are still in charge of military power. Xiong Tingbi went to There will definitely be trouble in Liaodong.
Chai Ke also smiled bitterly. How could he not have thought of this? He was also seriously ill and sought medical treatment.
"Zishu, if it doesn't work out, what do you think about letting Feng Tang go?" Zhang Jingqiu said calmly.
"Since Tang?!" Chai Ke was surprised, "Didn't we agree that he would be in charge of three sides?"
"At this moment, the situation in Liaodong cannot be delayed. On the other side, Liu Dongyang has already captured Hami. As long as the logistics support can keep up, the situation in Western Xinjiang can basically be stabilized. I have no choice but to do the math. , I just think it’s most appropriate for Feng Zitang to go.”
Zhang Jingqiu looked calm, obviously he had been thinking about this matter for a long time.
Chai Ke calmed down and thought about it, and found that the other party’s suggestion was actually the best choice.
Feng Tang has served as the chief military officer in Datong and Yulin towns for many years. He has dealt with Chahar on the left wing of Mongolia and the Tumut people on the right wing of Mongolia. He has rich experience and rich connections.
Chahar, who used to be mainly active in the Mongolian left wing west of Fengzhou, has now moved eastward to the eastern grasslands of Jurchen in Haixi. Although Lindan Batur is not yet an adult, he has also shown great ambitions.
In the future, when he is based in Liaodong, he will not only have to deal with the Jianzhou Jurchen offensive against the surrounding areas, but also deal with the Chahar tribe under the rule of the still ambitious Lin Dan Batur, and even have to intervene in the Jurchen army in the northwest of Haixi, but it is becoming increasingly important. The Horqin tribe moved closer to the Jurchens in Jianzhou.
Feng Tangchu seems inappropriate at first glance, because he does not have many particularly dazzling achievements, but for someone who is based in Liaodong, this is not important.
The current Governor of Ji Liao should be a solid, steady and experienced general who can deal with some emergencies. He should also be able to control a group of arrogant and powerful generals below, so that they will not bully the superiors, and at the same time, he should be able to flexibly Coordinate the relationship between the surrounding Hercynian Jurchens and the Mongolian tribes, and unite vertically and horizontally with only one purpose: to curb the fierce momentum of the Jianzhou Jurchens and buy more time for the Zhou Dynasty to adjust their strategies.
It's just that the Ministry of War had originally considered recommending Feng Tang as the governor of the three sides, but now he suddenly became the governor of Jiliao. How to convince Feng Tang himself is also a problem, and this can easily be regarded as a trick to dump him. pot.
“Master Shangshu, what can we say from the Tang Dynasty?”
Logically speaking, it is enough for the court to write documents, and it is impossible for Feng Tang not to accept the order. But if you do not think clearly, you will be given the choice within a few months after taking office, and you will be like Li Chengliang who cannot afford to be ill. What will you do?
"Zishu, I think it's easy to talk to Zitang. Whether it's on the three sides or in Liaodong, it's almost the same. Zitang is not the kind of person who fears enemies like a tiger. Of course, Zitang must impose conditions. This is not a problem. , I believe you can convince him by sending a letter and then asking the Chief Assistant to send a letter. Well, on Feng Ziying's side, don't cause misunderstanding. Now the emperor has made it clear that he wants to be reused, and the court also relies on him. , if he feels that he is deliberately setting up a trap, then it would be inappropriate."
Zhang Jingqiu's words were flawless, leaving Chai Ke speechless, especially since Feng Ziying's matters were clearly his own fault, and he had to do the work to convince Feng Ziying. This shows that the minister has been prepared for a long time. .
"Master Shangshu, who recommended this to you? I didn't even think of it." Chai Ke asked casually.
Zhang Jingqiu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who recommends it. The key is whether it is suitable or not. Well, Zishu, I understand what you mean. Maybe the recommender has some other purposes, but for us, everything else can only be put aside." , who is more suitable, we can only act like this."

“Xiang Ling, come.”
Seeing the shy and timid Xiang Ling smiling with her lips pursed and her head lowered, holding a sweat towel in her hand, but refusing to come over, Feng Ziying was also a little frustrated.
This girl is good at everything, but she trusts people too easily. Yesterday, she spent the whole night at Eryou's place, and Jin Chuaner said that she was afraid of hurting herself, so today she refused to come to bed with her, taking Xiangling with her. He also refused to listen to himself.
"Why, you don't listen to what I say?" Feng Ziying pretended to be angry, "Then I plan to talk to you about your family's affairs, and you don't want to hear it either?"
“Ah?!” Xiang Ling raised her eyes in surprise, her voice trembling, “Master, you mean that letter…”
"Well, that's right. This letter came from Zhejiang. I asked someone to inquire in Huzhou, Zhejiang, and then we can basically find clues about a missing case in Suzhou more than ten years ago. You I have a good nature, and this surname is not very common, so even though Huzhou Prefecture is a big place, I can’t find it even if I put some effort into it, it just takes time, so I finally got a reply after so long.”
"Master, have you really found it?" Xiang Ling's eyes suddenly turned red, and she didn't care anymore. She quickly came to Feng Ziying's side. Feng Ziying secretly smiled in her heart. She was not afraid that you would not give in. She hooked Xiang Ling's soft waist with a flip of her wrist. The waist and limbs all lay crookedly in his arms.
"Could it be that you are coaxing me?" Seeing that she had fallen into the clutches of the devil, Xiangling reacted, but she did not struggle, but there was a bit of disappointment in her eyes.
"Can I do that kind of thing? It's just that I like you lying in my arms, so I have the heart to talk about you." Feng Ziying rubbed Xiangling's buttocks with her palms, fully enjoying the privileges of men in this era.
Although Xiangling is already seventeen years old, she is far less plump than Eryou in all aspects. Even Jinchuaner is much plumper than Xiangling, but Feng Ziying really likes this girl's naivety and honesty.
“Is what you said true?” Xiangling’s disappointed mood was swept away.
"Well, if the news from Zhejiang is correct, your mother's surname is Feng. She was originally from a small family in Wucheng County. She later married into the Zhen family in Suzhou. Later, you were abducted by a kidnapper. There is a case record in Suzhou Prefecture. It must have happened thirteen years ago. You were kidnapped when you were about three or four years old. After that, your parents searched everywhere for you but couldn't find you. Later, a fire broke out in your neighbor's house and your family was lost, so your parents went to Wucheng, Huzhou to seek refuge with you. Grandfather,... it’s just that your father was in a bad mood a few years ago. It is said that he has gone out to become a monk and practice Buddhism, and your mother can’t be found. Now she lives in your grandfather’s house and makes a living by sewing..."
Feng Ziying explained the situation in detail, and Xiangling burst into tears and choked with sobs.
Feng Ziying didn't give much advice when things like this happened. It would be a good thing to wait for the girl to get over her sadness and the depression in her heart dissipate.
"..., so that's it, everything else is suitable, especially the rouge mole between your eyebrows, which is even more proof..." Feng Ziying took the sweat towel to wipe Xiang Ling's tears, and hugged Xiang Ling. He stood up and sat in his arms, "It's just that your mother is alone in Wucheng now, but it depends on your wishes. In my opinion, it is better to bring your mother here. Anyway, my house is big, so let your mother be here Living in the side courtyard, it would be nice to have someone to take care of you..."
Before Feng Ziying could finish her words, Xiang Ling had already struggled to get out, and suddenly knelt on the ground, banging her head.
Brothers, can you give me 100 votes?
