Feng Ziying was so dizzy thinking about it that she couldn't find a suitable explanation.
He felt more and more that his background was still too shallow.
There are many forces in the capital, but my father used to avoid them because he was afraid of being involved in the whirlpool. He just wanted to hide in the border town to stay away from these right and wrongs. He didn't pay much attention to these things in the capital. Now he suddenly wants to think about it.
How can we master and understand these details in a short period of time?
As for Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing, they are all based in the south. They have only been in Beijing for a short time, so they can only understand many superficial things, but they still haven't explored enough of the deep inside things.
For example, Wu Guifei's family, such as the brothers Wu Tianyou and Wu Tiande, what are their origins? Are there any other forces behind them, or are they just ordinary martial arts?
Is it true that Concubine Wu, like Jia Yuanchun, was brought into the harem by Emperor Yonglong in order to win over Wu Xun?
Then why did the Emperor of Renshou Palace suddenly speak out again? Is it the Emperor's intention or the concubine's personal intention?
Although the concubine was not the biological mother of Emperor Yonglong and King Zhongshun, they were raised by the concubine. Emperor Yonglong still cared about this nurturing grace, but if it involved a struggle for imperial power, that would be another matter.
So it’s really hard to judge the real reason at this time.
Feng Ziying felt that among Jia Yuanchun and his group of concubines who entered the palace and were later ennobled, Jia Yuanchun was certainly used by Emperor Yonglong to win over Wang Ziteng, but it seemed to have no effect, but the same was true for several other people? I'm afraid that might not be the case.
, at least the identity of this Concubine Wu is very suspicious and not simple.
I chatted with Zheng Chongjian for a while about the war in the southwest, but I was still not very optimistic.
The integration of Yang He's Jingxiang Town was very difficult. Although Guyuan Town was defeated and was required to be integrated into Jingxiang Town, this group of people has always been incompatible with the Huguang soldiers in Jingxiang Town, which made Yang He very uncomfortable.
.
Sun Chengzong achieved relatively good results in reorganizing the Sichuan local guards, and he won successive battles with Yang Yinglong's Bozhou Army. However, these were not decisive battles. The scale of the battles was small, and Yang Yinglong was very cunning.
When things didn't go his way, he took the initiative to retreat and relied on the advantages of time and place to deal with Sun Chengzong. However, Sun Chengzong's troops were limited and he could not get the cooperation of Yang He, Jing Xiang's army and Wang Ziteng's Denglai army. He also won first and then lost, so he had to retreat.
The war is now in such an embarrassing stalemate.
These tumultuous affairs in the court made Feng Ziying a little frightened. He always felt that it seemed to be foreshadowing something, but he could not see through the truth behind this fog.
Zheng Chongjian left, leaving a lot of questions behind, which made Feng Ziying not in a good mood.
But Feng Ziying also knew very well that she was not a god. Even though she knew some historical trends before, this Zhou Dynasty thing did not exist in the history of previous lives. In the book "A Dream of Red Mansions", there was only a vague mention of Prince Yi Zhong and the present-day prince.
There are some secret relationships between the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor, but the specific circumstances are not mentioned at all, leaving it up to the readers to make up their minds.
I haven't come to this time and space until I slowly figured out the general joints here, but I don't know the more specific details.
One thing he can understand is to act carefully and at the same time strengthen his own strength as much as possible to avoid being unable to cope with the situation at the last moment.
My father's move to the northwest to seize military power was a precautionary measure. No one knew which day the Zhou Dynasty would erupt in a struggle for heir apparent or the throne. By then, the weaknesses of civilian power might suddenly be exposed.
, there is no army in hand to rely on, and I really have no confidence.
I returned home from the government office sadly, and my good mood to see my old classmates was completely ruined by the bad news brought by Zheng Chongjian.
Returning to the house, I met with my father and received the news that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs finally agreed to allocate only 700,000 taels of silver. Although this amount was a bit higher than the initial estimate of 500,000 taels, it was still far away from Feng Tang and
The 800,000 taels of silver set by Feng Ziying was short, but this was the best result that could be achieved.
"When is dad going to leave?" The father and son had lunch alone and talked in passing.
"The Ministry of War is pressing hard. I guess I'm going to see the emperor tomorrow and the day after. After meeting the emperor, it's almost time to leave." Feng Tang sighed, "Your two aunts and sisters are back, and they won't follow me this time.
I went to the northwest, it’s too bitter and cold there, but it’s not reassuring in Beijing either.”
Su Xie's two aunts and younger sister have returned, but the relationship between Feng Ziying and the two aunts is very weak. However, the younger sister is almost thirteen years old and is very close to him, making it difficult for Feng Ziying to feel indifferent.
"Father, as long as you stand firm in the northwest, no matter what happens in Beijing, our Feng family will still be safe. Besides, isn't there still a son here? Doesn't father still believe in his son?" Feng Ziying said with a smile.
.
"Well, be careful after I leave. The first batch of grain purchased by Shanshan and Shaanxi merchants from Huguang has already been on the road. I estimate that this batch of grain will be almost there by the time I arrive in Ningxia." Feng Tang warned: "Follow-up
There are still two or three batches of grain. Ziying, please help us hurry up. I am preparing to allocate funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs, so I will allocate the first batch of silver to them, lest these Shanxi businessmen really think that we, father and son, are going to take advantage of it.
They are cheap."
"No, Wang Shaoquan and the others know the importance clearly." Feng Ziying also smiled and shook her head, "Of course, disbursing it earlier will allow them to be more proactive in delivering the second and third batches of food. Father, I don't think the second and third batches of food are necessarily in place."
If you want to transport it to Ganzhou and Yinchuan, you can put it in Pingliang or Yan'an."
Feng Tang paused with his chopsticks and said, "Ziying, are you so sure that the Northwest Frontier Army is going to enter the Central Plains?"
Feng Ziying's meaning was very clear. Ganning and Ningxia Towns did not need so much food. The main force of the army in Ganning and Ningxia Town might have to move eastward, so it would not be appropriate to transport food to Yinchuan or Liangzhou.
"Father, haven't I told you everything? The elites from the four towns are deployed to practice martial arts on the front line in Pingliang and Qingyang. The purpose is to prepare for the elimination of the old and the weak, but in fact it is to prevent problems before they happen. As for the Tumut people, my father has a way.
Say hello to Bu Shitu and Su Nang and let them settle down. My father should be able to do it. As for the Mughals, I believe Liu Dongyang and Tu Wenxiu have been in Hami and Shazhou for several years and must have contact with them.
, If it really doesn’t work, it’s not impossible to give up Hami temporarily,…”
Feng Ziying's casual tone was unacceptable to Feng Tang. He frowned: "Ziying, do you understand the responsibility for losing the land? According to the law, I must be executed. Your father and I cannot bear this responsibility, how dare we give up lightly?"
"Father, I'm saying that as a last resort, maybe Liu Dongyang and Tu Wenxiu have better countermeasures, but they must deploy enough elite troops to station troops in the east to prevent unexpected events." Feng Ziying said with certainty, "Maybe there.
At that time, no one would even care if a Hamisha state was lost?"
Feng Ziying's pessimistic argument was difficult for Feng Tang to accept. Even if he admitted that some of his son's analysis and judgments were reasonable, there were still many uncertain factors in them. It was difficult to say what the probability was.
The meal was also a bit dull. At the end of the meal, Feng Tang suddenly remembered something: "I heard at the Ministry of War that Chen Jixian was going to go out to control Huaiyang, and that the Fifth Army Camp was going to appoint someone else to serve as a general, maybe Qiu Shiben."
"Ah?" Feng Ziying was surprised, "Father, didn't you say that Wu Tianyou is also possible?"
"Oh, have you heard about it too?" Feng Tang also knew that his son was well-informed, "Wu Tianyou is a father who I am not familiar with, but the situation of the Wu family is somewhat similar to ours. Neither of them was the first to follow the martial arts of the Dragon. They are not the same as the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.
People like the Second Marquis are not the same kind of people, and they have some connection with us. Do you know where the Wu family is from?"
"Where are you from?" Feng Ziying was very curious.
"People from Jining Prefecture live along the canal with our Dongchang Prefecture, just a strip of water away." Feng Tang said with a smile: "Although the Wu family is from Jining Prefecture, they also moved from other places like us, but we came from Suzhou
The Qing Dynasty was very early, but they were later, but their ancestral home is Xuzhou."
Her father's introduction suddenly made Feng Ziying realize. No wonder Wu Tianyou was nominated as the commander-in-chief of Huaiyang Town. If his ancestral home is Xuzhou, it would make sense. The main recruiting area for Huaiyang Town is in Xuzhou, which is also the north gate of South Zhili. But if you want to
It is unrealistic to be able to become the commander-in-chief of Huaiyang Town just by relying on this.
"Then if Chen Jixian takes over as the commander-in-chief of Huaiyang Town, who will take over as the general of the Fifth Military Camp?" Feng Ziying realized that Emperor Yonglong really wanted to completely control the three major battalions of the Beijing Camp. The Fifth Military Camp was the most powerful among the three major battalions. After all, it was still
To control it in the hands of someone he absolutely trusts.
"Maybe it's Qiu Shiben." Feng Tang pondered for a moment, "I heard that the emperor intends to let King Zhonghui serve as the military governor of the Beijing camp."
"What? King Zhonghui?" Feng Ziying was greatly shocked. It is not that the princes of the Zhou Dynasty cannot hold such important positions, but this obviously has some risks. Unless the emperor absolutely trusts them, after all, they are all members of the Zhang family. If this is the case
If a prince covets the throne, he will be in big trouble.
Perhaps the reason why it was King Zhonghui instead of King Zhongshun was that after all, King Zhonghui had been idle for so many years, enjoying eating, drinking, having fun, flying eagles and running dogs, singing operas and listening to music, but he was not interested in government affairs. Unlike King Zhongshun who often served the emperor
Make plans.
Seeing that Feng Ziying seemed thoughtful and understood, Feng Tang nodded, "The emperor's health is getting worse, and he may have more ideas. But King Shou, King Fu and King Li seem to be hesitant all the time, or maybe
Not very satisfied,..."
"Are you satisfied with Prince Lu or Prince Gong?" Feng Ziying sneered. The three adult princes looked down on him, but they liked an underage Prince Lu. Well, maybe there was also Prince Gong, who was still here to play at this time.
Once it comes out, isn't it the cause of trouble?
"But to be honest, the reputation of King Shou, King Fu and King Li is not very good, especially King Shou, and King Lu does look very much like the emperor in his youth." Feng Tang seemed to be recalling the past decades ago, "Prince Gong also
King Bishou, King Fu and King Li are more like the emperor, so it’s no wonder the emperor is hesitant."
