Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi both felt relieved. At this time when they need to work together, if there are still internal discords and disputes, then the game may really be over.
Looking at today's posture, you should know that Qi Yongtai is trying to integrate the opinions of the northern scholars, and then coordinate and communicate with Ye Fangli and others, and finally form a unified opinion to jointly deal with the challenge of Prince Yi Zhong.
After all, Li Sancai was also from the North and was a cabinet minister. His joining could also give the outside world the impression that the Northland scholars were working together and avoid being criticized.
Li Sancai saw Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi, took the initiative to come over, and greeted with a smile: "Ziying, Jun Yu, Brother Chengfeng summoned everyone today, I'm afraid you have a rough idea of the intention. You two are our young scholars in the North."
Junyan, when asking for your opinions, you should also speak boldly, put forward your own opinions, and show off your performance."
"Master Daofu is so complimentary. The students and brother Jun Yu are so loved, but they are just following Ji Wei and gaining experience. How can they dare to do the same thing?" Feng Ziying said quickly and modestly.
When practicing national affairs, he repeatedly gave up his hands to show that he could not bear it.
Li Sancai waved his hands, but his face was a little solemn, "Everyone should express their opinions on this plan. Brother Chengfeng and Yu will have to discuss it with Lord Ye Fang at that time. It involves many matters, so we must be careful and thorough, so you all have to
Show your talents and thoughts, and don’t be too precious about yourself.”
Seeing that Li Sancai was so kind, Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi exchanged glances, and Lian Guoshi said: "I heard that Prince Yi Zhong proclaimed himself the supervisor of the country in Jinling and formed a cabinet. Tang Xuanzhou (Tang Binyin) did this to make Prime Minister Ye Fang Fang.
Where?"
"Since he has done this, how can he care about what Prime Minister Ye thinks? Some people are obsessed with wanting to be the chief assistant. For the sake of the position of chief assistant, they don't care about anything else."
Li Sancai had never had a good impression of Tang Binyin. In fact, Zhu Guozhen and others had a pretty good relationship with him, but now they were "each their own master" and could only draw a clear line sadly.
"The performance of a group of clowns in Nanjing is nothing to mention, but Niu Jizong's rampage in Shandong has already occupied Dezhou. If it is allowed to continue like this, if Shandong is not protected, then the prestige of the imperial court will be greatly reduced. This is the last
The pressing issue is, Duke Daofu, how does the court plan to respond?"
Feng Ziying is more concerned about this.
It doesn't matter how Prince Yi Zhong and his gang set up a stage to perform in Nanjing, because it had been expected for a long time. However, Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu unexpectedly did not retreat to South Zhili, but suddenly marched eastward, invaded Shandong, and
Follow the canal from south to north, it's a big one.
With the cooperation of the Cao Army, the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army took control of the entire canal coastal area with lightning speed. At this time, they were connected to Huaiyang Town under Chen Jixian's control, and the troops were approaching Hejian.
The government, and the key point is that all the food in Shuicicang along the route has been obtained by Niu Jizong and others. This decrease and increase will be too painful for the imperial court.
"Ziying, Shandong is your hometown. From Dezhou to Linqing to Dongchang Prefecture and Jining Prefecture, they were all captured by the Xuanfu Army, and the Cao Army was also called an accomplice. How do you think we should break the situation?"
Li Sancai asked back.
Feng Ziying shook her head slightly, "How many troops are available to the imperial court? How many troops can Liaodong and Jizhen mobilize? Is Shanxi Town ready?"
Li Sancai was surprised: "Ziying, your father is gathering and training tens of thousands of troops in Qingyang, can't he come east?"
Feng Ziying smiled bitterly, "Master Daofu, the court has an order, and my father has come here. But from Qingyang, we have to cross Shanxi, Beizhi and Shandong. It is a long way. Where will the food and grass supplies come from? If Niu Jizong is waiting for work, he will be in Shandong.
My father may not have a chance of winning this front-line attack. Moreover, Shandong is of course urgent, but I am more worried that my father has not arrived in Shandong yet, and I am afraid that there will be trouble in Shanxi and Shaanxi."
Li Sancai's face turned cold, "Are you saying that there will be refugees after the severe drought, or are you talking about Fengzhou Bailian?"
Feng Ziying's expression changed, and Li Sancai seemed to be quite capable. He actually noticed that something was going to happen to Fengzhou Bailian, "Why, Lord Daofu also knew that Fengzhou Bailian was going to take the opportunity to cause trouble?"
Li Sancai took a look at Feng Ziying, but thinking that he was from Datong border and knew that Fengzhou Bailian was normal, he nodded: "The Staff Department of the Ministry of War has information. Fengzhou Bailian has been moving frequently in the past six months. It is said that many people came from Xuanfu
Going in and out of Datong border gate, I think it is related to Beidi Bailian, I am a little worried about whether there will be any problems..."
"Dong Daofu, the White Lotus of Shuntian Prefecture and the White Lotus of Yongping Prefecture are one and the same, with tangled branches. It can be said that throughout Beizhili and Shandong, the power of the White Lotus Sect is deeply rooted in the countryside. Fengzhou Bailian fled decades ago.
Outside the border wall, they live together with the Mongols, but they still maintain a fairly close organizational network and even have considerable military mobilization capabilities. Now they are suddenly connected with the White Lotus Sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which can't but make people worry."
Gu Yao/span> Feng Ziying did not mince words, "I knew this when I followed my father in Dasi. Over the years, the imperial court has been strictly ordering the grassland tribes to return this white lotus to Dazhou, but how could these Mongolians agree? This is their fault.
It is a springboard to enter the Middle Earth, and it is also a crowbar. Therefore, over the years, with Bansheng City as the center, Fengzhou Bailian has not only not weakened, but has become stronger..."
Li Sancai nodded slightly and said nothing. Feng Ziying really knew a lot about military affairs. He was a tiger general and he was well-deserved, and he knew everything about the situation inside and outside the border wall.
"Master Daofu, what Ziying said is true. The students only discovered the spread of the White Lotus Sect in Yongping Mansion after they arrived in Yongping Mansion. Ziying has already cleaned up twice in Yongping Mansion. Fortunately, he also cleaned up the Ji Town area.
, there are hundreds of White Lotus soldiers who fled, and there are even many officers, such as Panguanying, Xuliuying, Shimenzhai. These are things that I had never thought of before, but they are the focus of the White Lotus Sect's infiltration. The White Lotus Sect's power
It’s so profound, it’s evident…”
Lian Guoshi also added: "After the students left, they also continued Ziying's practice, Baojia cleans up, and encourages exposure, but it is difficult to remove them in a short period of time, and it can be seen that the White Lotus Sect's strategy of mutual support and relief is also very effective. If we
The investigation was tightened here, so they fled and hid in other places, and then quietly sneaked back after the news passed. Many country squires also had ambiguous relations with them and refused to cooperate with the government in cleaning up, so it was very difficult."
Speaking of Lian Guo Shi also confirmed the spread of the White Lotus Sect in the North, and it also made Li Sancai feel more and more alarmed.
"Ziying, does your father know about these situations?" Li Sancai thought for a while and asked.
"I know a little bit, but the power of Shanshan White Lotus is also huge. It will be very dangerous if it takes over the victims after a severe drought. So I also wrote to remind my father to be careful." Feng Ziying replied.
Li Sancai paced back and forth in a corner of the yard with his hands behind his back. After a while, he said: "Ziying, we need to prepare for things that have not happened yet, but I am afraid that the northwest army's eastward advance is inevitable. Otherwise, with the forces that Shanxi Town and Ji Town can spare,
I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat the Xuanfu army, and Chen Jixian's side is also an uncertain factor. Brother Chengfeng may also bring it up later, and we need to discuss it carefully..."
I saw the three of them chatting lively in a corner of the garden, and others came over to join them one after another.
Han Xu and Zhou Yongchun came over, and Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi also hurried to greet them.
This topic is also of great interest to Han Xu and Zhou Yongchun. One is the Minister of Justice, the other is a scholar from Shandong, and is a fellow villager with Feng Ziying. Now, relying on the canal, the Xuanfu army is steadily encroaching on the entire Shandong, and its intention to control Shandong is obvious.
, so naturally these northern scholars were very anxious.
"One is an imminent disaster, and the other is a potential catastrophe. Which one is more serious? How to choose?" Han Xu couldn't help but sigh.
Han Xu still agreed with Feng Ziying's judgment.
With the drought situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi this year, if the imperial court does not vigorously provide relief, something will definitely happen. Even if it provides relief, it is estimated that it will be difficult to contain it. Not to mention the current situation, the water transportation in the south of the Yangtze River is cut off, the north and the south are in confrontation, and the price of food has skyrocketed.
, how to resettle the victims in Shanshan?
Han Xu is from Shanxi. He is very aware of the virtues of the squires and wealthy people in his hometown. It is extremely difficult to get them to provide money and food for relief. Shaanxi is even more barren than Shanxi, especially the folk customs in northern Shaanxi.
Brave and brave, a typical place where big bandits are found, there will definitely be trouble on this day this year.
Zhou Yongchun, however, had a firm attitude: "Shandong is the gateway to Gyeonggi Province and is relatively wealthy. We must not lose Shandong if we lose Jiangnan. Otherwise, we may not be able to survive this year. Are you sure that we can go straight to Huanglong this year and win the victory?"
Jiangnan?"
Now even the most optimistic people are not very optimistic about the situation of the imperial court. How can they talk about taking Jiangnan within two or three months? In two months, I am afraid that even the army has not been assembled.
What Zhou Yongchun said is not wrong. Shanxi and Shaanxi are having a hard time this winter, and the situation in Beizhi is not much better. Maybe the drought situation is slightly better in Shandong and Henan. Henan has always been poor, so the situation in Shandong is better. If Shandong loses again, the court can still
Where is the control?
Both Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi also recognized Zhou Yongchun's reasoning, not because Shandong was their hometown, but because Shandong was too important. Only by winning Shandong could they suppress Southern Zhili, reduce the pressure on the court, and have room for maneuver.
"Then the Shanxi Town and Jizhen armies will be mobilized to form the Southern Expedition Army." Feng Ziying looked at Li Sancai: "The Chahar people are of no concern. They have not made preparations to go south like they did last year. If we and Xu Zhi reach Khalkha
People attach great importance to profit, so let them be restless and contain the Chahar people, and Ji Zhen should be able to maintain the situation!"
Li Sancai thought hard for a while and then said: "Ziying, are you sure about the Inner Khalkha people? I am still a little worried that the Jurchens in Jianzhou will not be peaceful. Can the situation in Liaodong be sustained?
"
