After being busy for several consecutive days, Feng Ziying felt like a spinning top. Almost every day when she arrived at the Ministry of War office, she had to throw herself into complicated affairs, and everything was urgent and needed to be dealt with, and there was no room for it.
He has a chance to breathe.
Only then did he realize that it was really difficult to be the Minister of War, especially in the absence of financial support from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Many things he could only think about were beautiful, but when implemented, they were too stretched, and he even had to put them on hold and wait.
.
However, Feng Ziying still enjoys this kind of fulfillment and busyness, because she can feel her efforts to achieve her own ideas and goals, even if it is accumulated bit by bit, she also has a sense of accomplishment.
Basically, dinner can only be eaten at the public house every day, and it is usually almost midnight before we can return home.
Xue Biao was reassuring in his work. He helped the driver to raise enough ships within the specified time, and the transportation plan he formulated also made the driver full of praise.
Feng Ziying also specifically reviewed the plan drawn up by Xue Biao, and transported the Northern Front Army Corps and related grain and grass supplies to Niuzhuang from Dagu and Yuguan respectively. Yuguan mainly transported people, while Dagu mainly transported grain and grass materials.
Lord, a small number of soldiers will also start from Dagu.
The plan also included a land travel plan from Niuzhuang to Shenyang. Being able to achieve this step, it is no wonder that You Shilu highly praised Xue Biao, saying that Xue Biao's plan saved at least five to ten days for the mobilization.
Sun Chengzong also admired Xue Biao's performance very much. He bluntly said that even if such a talent did not come from the imperial examination, he could definitely work in the driving department. If Xue Biao was willing, he could start from a low-ranking official donation and slowly accumulate in the future.
Of course, if you reach the level of principal, it will definitely not be realistic any higher.
Even so, this made Xue Biao inexplicably excited, but he also knew what Sun Chengzong said, but it was definitely not realistic to gain a foothold in the Ministry of War with this action alone.
From Xue Biao's point of view, he would rather continue to maintain his current status as a partner and continue to serve the Ministry of War. If one day the Ministry of War feels that it is inseparable from Xue Biao, then it will be logical for him to join the driving department.
After a few years, after obtaining an official status, even if I resign and go to power, it will be different.
The Jinshis in this subject in the eighth year of Yonglong Dynasty finally began to take up their respective positions after the expiration of the three-year political observation period.
As expected, Sun Chuanting stayed in the Ministry of War, which could fill the gap after Zheng Chongjian left. Chen Qiyu did not come to the Ministry of War, but went to the Ministry of Works. Fu Zonglong also came to the Ministry of War. In addition, Ma Shiying entered the Hanlin Academy, and Song Shixiang went to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Xue Wenzhou went to the Ministry of Commerce, while Xu Qixun went to the Ministry of Rites.
Sun Chuanting, Fu Zonglong, and Wang Yingxiong from the previous department have all arrived at the Ministry of War. According to the custom, after the three-year term of Jinshi Guanzheng, they will be awarded the sixth rank of chief. For Sun Chuanting and Fu Zonglong, such a position is considered their best
A chance to exercise.
"Sit down." Seeing that the three of them were still a little reserved, Feng Ziying laughed, "First of all, let me say that I am just a classmate today, no matter how high or low I am, so I will call me Ziying. What I will be called in the future is another matter.
"
Feng Ziying's initiative made the three of them breathe a sigh of relief. If they really wanted adults to come over, it would be awkward, especially when there were no outsiders.
Wang Yingxiong was still bold and said, "Ziying, this is what you said, so we have to be respectful rather than obey."
Feng Ziying waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry about this matter, "Okay, I'm looking for you three to talk about serious matters. Feixiong, you are considered a senior now. You came earlier than the rest of us. You have to know the situation at the Ministry of War.
I am more familiar with and should understand the current situation in the Ministry of War. Although there are many dark sides, don’t ruin Boya and Zhonglun’s good expectations here.”
Seeing Sun Chuanting and Fu Zonglong looking over at them curiously, obviously not understanding what Feng Ziying was referring to, Wang Yingxiong quickly raised his hand and said, "Ziying, please don't belittle me. I'm just a small boss, so I just keep my head down."
I have to do my job well. As for other things, I don’t have the energy or mind to think about it. If you want to know anything Ziying, or if you want me to give you some advice, I’ll tell you.”
"Well, let me put it bluntly. The Staff Department is the most important department of the Ministry of War. In other words, this is the soul of the Ministry of War. In the final analysis, the Ministry of War is the most important department.
It was created around fighting. Although the Military Selection Department seems to have a high position, the selection of officials depends on their ability to fight, so all the focus must be on fighting."
Feng Ziying said in a calm voice.
"But the Staff Division is doing very poorly now, or it is seriously lagging behind the needs of the situation. It only knows a little about Liaodong, but it is only superficial. Nurhachi can use Li Yongfang to collect intelligence within us, win over generals, and then in the war
Showing off his skills, what happened to Jin Yuhe? He suddenly switched sides and struck. If it weren't for his quick reaction, Zhao Shujiao would have been hit. How many people here were pulled over by Li Yongfang, waiting for the opportunity to explode, we don't even know
Know,."
Sun Chuanting and Fu Zonglong were both horrified by what they said.
They had heard about the situation in Liaodong, but they didn't know much about it. After all, they had just entered the Ministry of War. Sun Chuanting was still observing the government in the Ministry of War, while Fu Zonglong was observing the government in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and knew even less about the situation at the Ministry of War.
But they all know about Li Yongfang because he is so famous.
Fushun Pass suddenly rebelled and surrendered to the Jianzhou Jurchens, directly killing Liaodong Town in the back. If Feng Tang had not responded promptly, the entire Shenyang Zhongwei north and east would have fallen.
But that was a few years ago. I didn't expect that Li Yongfang would jump out again, hit Liaodong Town in the middle, and blinded Liaodong Town again.
"Ziying, Li Yongfang is acting like a monster again?" Fu Zonglong couldn't help but ask: "It's not enough to suffer a loss once. Didn't Cao Wenzhao take some precautions?"
Sun Chuanting knew more than Fu Zonglong and shook his head: "It's not that simple. Li Yongfang has been operating in Liaodong Town for decades. At that time, he was with Li Rusong, Li Rubai, Zhao Lejiao, Liu Wei, Du Song, and the Zu brothers.
Li Chengliang was a general under his command, in the same camp, in the same system, and had very close contacts. He was a gentle and cautious person, especially sociable, and had a close relationship with the middle and lower-level military attachés. So now you want to say how many of those military generals back then had something to do with him.
Who can find out clearly? And now that Zhao Shujiao and the others have a bad relationship with Cao Wenzhao, how could they easily hand over the matter to Cao Wenzhao?"
Fu Zonglong said angrily: "Doesn't that mean that we are ignoring military and national affairs and only caring about the interests of these regional groups? If the Jianzhou Jurchens launch another attack, wouldn't it mean that we will lose troops and territory again?"
Wang Yingxiong shook his head: "That's why the imperial court adjusted Cao Wenzhao and let Zhao Shujiao take office. The Liaodong Gang was unwilling to hand over the clues to Cao Wenzhao for fear that Cao Wenzhao would kill someone with a knife. But now Zhao Shujiao is one of his own, so how to clean up
There are not so many taboos in dealing with it. The Ministry must also send letters to Zhao Zhijiao, Liu Wei and others, and Long Jinwei should also be sent to be responsible for dealing with this. However, even so, it is still difficult to trace.
, some people hide their secrets very deeply, and before they have conclusive evidence, they can easily move people, which will also dampen their morale, so this question is very difficult to answer."
The phrase "Liaodong Gang" made Feng Ziying a little confused. Now the Ministry of War actually said this again? Zhao Shujiao and others are the Liaodong Gang. What kind of gang are Dad, Cao Wenzhao, He Shixian and You Shigong? Datong Gang,
Or the Northwest Gang?
Feng Ziying took a deep look at Wang Yingxiong. It seemed that she would have to talk to Wang Yingxiong alone after coming down. There was a lot of water in the Ministry of War.
"No matter how difficult it is to do, you have to do it." Feng Ziying calmed down and then continued, "Who is willing to face the danger of having a knife stabbed in the back at any time? This is the case with Zhao Lijiao, Liu Wei, Du Song and the Zu brothers.
If your family members don’t understand, then you are really asking for your own death.”
The three of them also nodded. Everyone understands this truth. They are not afraid of strong external enemies, but are afraid of internal problems. If it is an internal response, it will be even more scary.
"Compared with Nurhaci's ability, our military department's performance is mediocre. I'm not bragging on my father's behalf. When my father was the governor of Jiliao and the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, he still brought Shuerhaqi and his son over.
It also shows that Jianzhou Jurchen is not impeccable internally. Of course, we have to admit that Nurhaci’s control is stronger than a few years ago, but isn’t there no chance at all? Nurhachi’s eldest son Chu Ying is now said to have been relegated to the sidelines and idle.
Does he have any grievances or ideas? Can we send someone to contact him?"
Wang Yingxiong hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Ziying, the staff department has not yet straightened out its internal affairs. Staff
There is some intertwining between the two parts of intelligence. Whether it should be based on battles and regions, or on staff and intelligence, it turned out to be a big debate. Mr. Yuan and Yang Wenruo also had different opinions after they came, so."
According to Feng Ziying, staff and intelligence must be separated. However, once a war breaks out in a certain area, a special intelligence team must be formed to provide support. However, in daily situations, they must still have separate branches.
.
The principle of division of labor and not division of family should also apply here.
Feng Ziying put forward his own point of view. After careful consideration, Wang Yingxiong also felt that Feng Ziying's opinion was more comprehensive. It not only divided the labor, but also did not separate the families. Once needed, they would immediately merge into one and concentrate their efforts, like Liaodong now.
When the Tumut people all need to concentrate their efforts, they naturally have to stick together.
Of course, Feng Ziying came to meet the three people today not just to talk about this. He would explain this to Yuan Huazhong and Yang Sichang. On the one hand, he wanted to learn from Wang Yingxiong some deeper situations within the department, and on the other hand, he also wanted to tell Sun Chuanting and Fu Zonglong
Give instructions and instill some of your intentions into them.
