Chapter 675 It’s a bad thing for Wuzijuan to return to Beijing
Lying on the bed, tossing and turning, even the beauty beside her could not relieve Feng Ziying's inner irritability.
Dad didn't tell himself much, but there was no doubt that he didn't think much of the emperor, otherwise he wouldn't have taken such an attitude.
It is true that there are too many martial arts disciples in the Jiubian and Jingying camps, especially among the middle and high-level generals.
More than half of the generals and guerrillas in the Beijing camp are children of Wuxun, and the children of Wuxun in the five towns under the two governor-general offices of Jiubian, Xuanda and Jiliao are also very important, especially Xuanfu and Jizhen. The children of Wu Xun also accounted for half.
Think about it, isn’t his own father also a martial artist? Otherwise, why would Governor Ji Liao let his father come and let Chen Jingxuan go to the three sides? Maybe it was because the number of martial arts disciples on the three sides was not so large and it was easier to control them.
The Supreme Emperor has won the hearts of the Wu Xun community. This is based on the continuous treatment of Wu Xun for forty years. Even the useless families such as the Second Duke Rongrong Ning, who have long since declined, are also treated well, let alone other Wu Xun. family?
Emperor Yonglong also knew very well that no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to win over the hearts of these martial artists in just a few years. Those who could be bought over, Emperor Yonglong might not dare to believe and use.
Prince Yoshitaka must be relying on this to be so unscrupulous. The question is, is the Supreme Emperor really willing to see this kind of chaos arise?
He should know that if this continues, a civil strife will be inevitable, and what the result will be, I am afraid that the Emperor himself has no idea.
Jingying, Xuanda, Jiliao, and Denglai. The three major governor-general offices, besides Jingying, are Xuanfu Town and Ji Town. These two towns hold tens of thousands of elite border troops. The other two are Laizhou Town under the Denglai Governor's Mansion.
Although Laizhou Town is far away, Wang Ziteng is already actively preparing to open up Liaodong. He directly took over the remaining 20 or 30 old ships of the Shandong Navy and formed a somewhat weak Denglai Navy. division, and is also preparing to buy some civilian ships from Nanzhi and Fujian to enrich the navy.
In addition, we have begun to integrate the guard troops and battalions of the two Denglai prefectures, and are preparing to first select and build them in Laizhou Town according to the specifications of the border army.
Feng Ziying still can't see through Wang Ziteng's positive purpose. You must know that the Ministry of Revenue has not allocated military funds for Denglai yet, but Wang Ziteng has begun to take action under the banner of establishing the Denglai Governor's Palace, such as purchasing civilian ships. It is a credit method, but considering that the Denglai Governor's Palace is indeed newly established, the court also attaches great importance to it, and many owners of shipyards are also willing to cooperate with it.
But once the army of Laizhou Town is integrated and the Denglai Navy can take shape, it means that the army of Laizhou Town can be directly transported across the sea through these sea ships. Well, this sea crossing can be directly transported to Fuzhou, Liaodong, and the same It can also be shipped directly to Tianjin Wei Landing.
Feng Ziying didn't believe that Wang Ziteng couldn't see this, and if Wang Ziteng saw this and acted like this, then Feng Ziying would really suspect that this guy had ulterior motives, and he might even be more vicious than his father.
The external troubles have not been eliminated, but the internal worries are even worse, which gives Feng Ziying an inescapable sense of fate.
If this civil strife is really unavoidable, then the best way is to end it in the shortest time and on the smallest scale, otherwise it will really lead to a catastrophe as big as the "Battle of Jingnan" in the Ming Dynasty, which will have a great impact on the Zhou Dynasty. The damage would be too great.
The Jurchens and Mongols in Jianzhou, even Japan, and those people in the country who are ready to move, such as the White Lotus Sect and the Southwest Chieftains, will not let go of such an excellent opportunity.
In the end, Dad didn't say anything, but Feng Ziying already understood what Dad was thinking.
Dad suggested that if he had the chance, it would be best to leave the capital and work locally for a few years. He must have seen the risks involved.
"Master, what's wrong with you today?" Jin Chuan'er's plump body was close to Feng Ziying's side. In the past, under such circumstances, this master would have jumped on his horse and fought fiercely, but today he is just lying down. In bed, I was either absent-minded or in a daze.
“Nothing.” Feng Ziying shook her head subconsciously.
It is useless to think too much. Such matters can only be explained clearly when the matter is about to happen. Moreover, Feng Ziying feels more and more that her father is like pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. He is obviously a man with an idea, but he pretends to be stupid in front of him.
They also pretended to ask for their own opinions, said some foolish words, and made themselves stunned for a while, but in the end they educated themselves.
Hold Jin Chuan'er's soft waist, the plump back is as white as a jade screen, and the scarlet bellyband is like two rainbows on the jade screen.
Smoothly unzipping the belt of her bellyband behind her back, with a squeaking sound, Jin Chuan'er had retracted into the brocade quilt, leaving only a charming dimple. This girl became even more enchanting after she became a little woman.
That clear and aloof face is mixed with the lavender beaded scarf and the black and white small diamond-patterned armor. How can it be so clear?
The hot body greeted him, and Feng Ziying completely gave up on thinking about it more. After being in Yangzhou for so long, she was already very hungry and thirsty.
************
Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke's faces were as heavy as water.
“Feng Tang has a huge appetite.”
Chai Ke was a little unhappy.
"It's not that big." Zhang Jingqiu was very indifferent. "Although Li Chengliang has left, the Li brothers are still in Liaodong Town. There are two deputy generals, three generals, seven guards, and twelve Apart from Du Song and Zhao Lijiao, how many military generals can be called by famous names who can listen to Feng Tang who has never been to Liaodong?"
Chai Ke breathed a sigh of relief. He actually knew that Feng Tang's request was not excessive, but he had to criticize Feng Tang in front of Zhang Jingqiu.
"But if we follow Feng Tang's request, a lot of elites from Yulin and Shanxi will be taken away." Chai Ke was still hesitant.
"Zishu, if he doesn't meet Feng Tang's request, he will definitely shirk his responsibility if something goes wrong in Liaodong." Zhang Jingqiu also sighed, "And there is news from the Staff Division and the Pingren Division that Chahar People have been a bit active this year, and Lindan Batur seems to be quite ambitious. I am afraid that Liaodong Town will have a hard time facing the Jianzhou Jurchen. It will be uncomfortable if this Chahar man stabs the back. .”
"How old is Lindan Batur?" Chai Ke was also a little surprised, "But the Chahar people have been recharging their energy for so many years, and they have some capital for him to squander. It's just that Horqin and Jianzhou Jurchen are hooking up, Lindan Batu Isn’t it justified that you don’t go and attack the Horqin people to establish your own prestige?”
"How much money do the Horqin people have?" Zhang Jingqiu narrowed his eyes, "Where can it be as easy as invading Liaodong, and the benefits are huge?"
“The three You brothers plus Cao Wenzhao’s uncle and nephew, and He Renlong...” Chai Ke shook his head, “Sir, do you mean you agree?”
"Well, to urge him to take office as soon as possible, hasn't Feng Ziying returned to Beijing? I heard that he and Guan Yingzhen are arguing with Zheng Jizhi. The emperor is also urging him to pay for the money. It is estimated that it will be cashed out soon. Li Sancai wants to take it. With 800,000 taels to go, Wang Ziteng sent people to guard the household department and demanded that 300,000 taels be allocated immediately. Niu Jizong also yelled and cursed every day, saying that if the food and salary were not supplemented, Xuanfu Town would mutiny..."
Zhang Jingqiu shook his head, "I still don't know what Feng Tang should do."
Chai Ke's head was pounding when he heard this. This didn't include the fact that Chen Jingxuan was about to take office as the governor of the three sides. Even if he didn't have 500,000 taels of silver, he wouldn't be able to send him away. Moreover, he could barely cope with it, at least in the second half of the year. We still need to allocate 800,000 taels to get through this year, but where can we get so much money?
Speaking of a thousand words, it still comes down to money. I don’t know how long the money Feng Ziying brought back from this trip will last?
"Feng Tang still has to allocate a certain amount. I will talk to Ziying then to see how much money is left in the Kaihai bonds and charter gold. If it is really not possible, can we Then Haitong Yinzhuang borrowed a sum of money." Chai Ke could only risk his old face.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Zhang Jingqiu knew more about Haitong Bank than Chai Ke. "It is said that several princes and their clans are the main shareholders of this bank. You can borrow money, but you have to have collateral. Zheng Jizhi doesn't Will you agree to use this year's land tax as collateral?"
Chai Ke was surprised, "You need a mortgage? Does the court also need a mortgage to borrow money?"
"Zishu, isn't the Kaihai Bond a loan from the court? Isn't it just using sea taxes as collateral?" Zhang Jingqiu laughed, "Isn't this what you first told Feng Ziying? Why do you still think it's inappropriate now? ?”
"No, I just feel a little awkward. The Kaihai Bonds are borrowed for a long time, but borrowing money from Yinzhuang to turn around will only take half a year at most..." Chai Ke frowned. For the first time, he felt a little unsure.
He and Feng Ziying initially discussed Haitong Yinzhuang, but after the Ministry of Revenue resolutely refused to take shares, the development of Haitong Yinzhuang was somewhat out of control.
Although it still borrowed some names from the court, such as the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, the court did not pay a penny. It even stipulated the bank's obligation to support some matters urgently needed by the court. However, this provision is very loose. , and not much binding.
And he also knew very well that Feng Ziying had said at the beginning that the foundation of a bank is deposits and loans, and the key to deposits and loans lies in risk control, and the core of risk control is mortgage.
Now that Yinzhuang has just been listed in Yangzhou, if the imperial court has to lend money, if Feng Ziying does not cooperate, I am afraid that King Zhongshun and others will not comply.
Although these princes and families seem to be honest now, it is because the imperial court has never involved their interests. Can you try to stop their annual salary gifts? I'm afraid that several palace gates, Wenyuan Pavilion and even the Six Ministries will be blocked immediately.
