Gui Scroll Chapter 617 Governor of Hebei, North and South Lines
Lu Song's uneasiness stems from his former boss Gu Cheng.
With the support of Emperor Wan Tong, Gu Cheng began to recruit some marginal people who were either dismissed or kicked out by Long Jinwei.
Emperor Wan Tong set up the East Guards in the three buildings of the former Palace Supervisor, Si Shejian, and Si Li Supervisor behind the Wansui Mountain. Gu Cheng was appointed as the commander of the East Supervisor Guard, and he was nominally responsible for supervising the daily life of Long Jinwei.
Work.
Now the Dragon Guard is still a royal eagle dog in name, but he has gradually lost control and has become a thug of the cabinet. Of course Emperor Wan Tong will not give up easily, so with Gu Cheng as the leader, he has won over a group of internal supervisors and also recruited external ones.
Many people were recruited to establish the Dongjianwei.
Although the headquarters of the East Supervisory Guard is located in the imperial city, its actual office location is in a house on Baimi Xiejie on the edge of Shichahai. There is also an office next to the Xizhao Temple in Chongnanfang in the outer city.
Feng Ziying didn't quite understand why the cabinet would agree that Emperor Wan Tong would come up with such a thing similar to the former Mingdong Factory, so she also mentioned it to Master Qi. Master Qi was non-committal and just implicitly mentioned that on the surface,
Things are always better than what is hidden, and this is when Feng Ziying suddenly realized.
If Emperor Wan Tong is pushed too hard, Emperor Wan Tong may break up or find other dangerous tricks. Now give him an opening and let him toss.
Everything is under your nose, and all the forces in Beijing are under control. No matter what the East Guards want to do, whether it is to win over, bribe, spy, or collect intelligence, they can all be aware of it.
, Long Jinwei can just match his wits and courage.
There are also five cities of troops and patrol battalions here plus Shuntian Mansion, which can't turn the world upside down.
Maybe there are Long Jinwei and Xingbu in the East Prison Guard now, and people from Shuntian Mansion broke in. Who can tell clearly?
Anyway, if everyone keeps doing such an infiltration and counter-infiltration job, how much impact will it have on the court? On the contrary, it can make Emperor Wan Tong feel more at ease, let him have some thoughts, and at the same time let him understand himself.
Where are the limits of power?
The cabinet gave Feng Ziying half a month, mainly to wait until Yuan Yingtai came back to report and hand over his duties, and also to allow Feng Ziying to do some things that needed to be done first.
There is a huge war between the north and the south. The Chahar people in the north are preparing their troops, while the war in the south is stalemate. The whole land of Hebei is on fire and needs to be exterminated urgently.
But if the logistics and material support are not in place, the relevant information is mastered, and the minds of the generals are united, Feng Ziying does not think that she can be much better than Yuan Yingtai.
Since it was determined to use the Beijing camp, Feng Ziying naturally wanted to mobilize the power of the Beijing camp.
The Jiedu envoy in Beijing is still King Zhonghui, but he is only a nominal role and has nothing to do with the overall situation. Even the deputy envoys Xiao Ruxun and Feng Ziying don't care much.
The fifth military camp now has Ma Chengxun, who can be regarded as a veteran. Feng Ziying hopes that he can live up to the Ma family's reputation. Qian Guozhong and Tu Wenxiu were transferred from the commander of the Shenji Battalion to his deputy, but Tu Wenxiu was inferior in military strength.
Of the two battalions of Gan Ning troops he brought over, one was his nephew Tu Chaofeng as the battalion officer, and the other was Tu Wenxiu's direct descendant Luo Guozhang as the battalion officer. Feng Ziying was relatively relieved about this.
Shenshu Camp and Shenji Camp had just been adjusted recently. Many of the generals were his former subordinates or his father's subordinates, and the soldiers were mainly sergeants from the northwest. This was something Feng Ziying felt more at ease about.
The Fifth Army Camp is the main force that bears the brunt of the attack. The two Gan-Ning Army units under Tu Wenxiu's command and the Beijing Camp previously rebuilt by Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen are all fighting troops, which is enough to make people feel reassured. In addition, the Northwest Army that was subsequently split off will be added.
In the entire fifth military camp, the army from the northwest system occupies the majority.
Ma Jinbao's Shenshu Battalion all came from the Guyuan Army. It was originally the merger of the Guyuan Army and the Shenji Battalion. However, as Ma Jinbao continued to bring in the Guyuan Army for blood exchanges, the current Shenshu Battalion basically has no foundation.
It's the Guyuan Army.
The Shenji Battalion was a little more complicated. Tu Wenxiu was transferred to the command of the Shenji Battalion, and a part of the Northwest Army was transferred to supplement it. In addition, Wang Chengwu brought in the elite of the Shaanxi rebel army who surrendered, so these two units can also be regarded as the Great Northwest system.
Because of this, Feng Ziying proposed to the cabinet that the Beijing camp should be used to counter the rebellion, and he preferred to retain the main forces of the Xuanfu Army and Jizhen Army to deal with the invasion of the Chahar people from the north. They were obviously more capable of dealing with the Mongols.
has experience.
After carefully sorting out the military commanders in the entire Beijing camp system, Feng Ziying felt more at ease.
Ma Jinbao, Tu Wenxiu, Tu Chaofeng and brothers Luo Guozhang, He Huchen, Yang Zhaoji, and Wang Chengwu are all considered his direct lineage or the direct lineage of his father. The total number of people in the Beijing camp is more than 60,000. If you add in Liu Jiangbei Town in the south
With Baichuan's 40,000 troops and 100,000 troops, Feng Ziying was confident that she could win this battle.
If we add Ma Kongying from the Xuanfu Army and the brothers from the You family in Jizhen, Feng Ziying feels that if she still can't defeat these White Lotus thieves, then she really should ask for military law.
Unknowingly, the military system of the Northwest, or the Feng family, has taken shape. Although many of them are still unclear, if you analyze it from the perspective of conspiracy theory, you have to worry.
But Feng Ziying doesn't need to worry now. The court's worries are still focused on the White Lotus Rebellion and the situation in Liaodong. Until these two problems can't be solved, they have no time to think about anything else.
Even if he was worried, Feng Ziying's protection as a civil servant and his father's "retirement" were enough to relieve a lot of doubts.
Unless someone believes from the very beginning that he or she will embark on the path of becoming a powerful official or committing rebellion, this would be too exaggerated.
The Duke of Zhou was afraid of the rumor, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne. Xiangshi died at the beginning, who knows the authenticity of his body?
This poem also illustrates some truths. At least I am still far from the level of Wang Mang, and those generals and officers are all loyal and working for the court.
Just because they come from the Northwest or Datong lineage, we can't put a stamp on them and discard them, right?
In just over ten days, Feng Ziying had a lot to do.
The situation in the north is not yet in danger of requiring immediate emergency response, but some material preparation and troop deployment need to begin.
The Denglai Army has already moved to the border line between Yongping and Shuntianfu, while the first part of the Jizhen Army and the He Renlong Department have begun to transfer to Niuzhuang and Dongjiang Town by sea.
"I've met the Governor."
Feng Ziying also felt a little emotional when she saw two veterans who were decades older than herself saluting respectfully.
Not to mention Yang Yuan, he was really a powerful general who fought during the Japanese Rebellion in Imchen, but he is now old. It is estimated that after fighting this battle, he will serve as the general of the Xuanfu.
Needless to say, You Shigong is an old acquaintance. He is in his prime, but he is nearly fifty years old. Fortunately, his health is not bad.
If we follow the history of the previous life, Yang Yuan would have been beheaded by Magui after the Battle of Chungnamwon during the Imjin Japanese Rebellion. However, there were some changes in the war between the two sides during the Imjin Japanese Rebellion in this life. After the Battle of Byokjeokwan , the Zhou army had the advantage, and until later, the Battle of Nanyuan did not go like history, but the Zhou army won.
Yang Yuan was already in his early sixties, but fortunately his health was fine. Feng Ziying saw from the Ministry of War archives that he was already sixty-seven. Although his beard and hair were white, he was in good spirits.
"Gong Juya, brother Shigong, we are not outsiders. There are only three of us today, so you can call me Ziying. I am also a disciple of Wuxun after all. You two are like this. The governor comes over, and the supervisor comes over. I I am really ashamed." Feng Ziying bowed and invited the two of them to sit down.
Yang Yuan and You Shigong looked at each other. The youngest governor in the history of the Zhou Dynasty and the youngest second-rank minister treated them with such courtesy and kindness, which surprised them.
Not to mention the status of the governor as their direct superior, the mere status as a civil servant of the Metropolitan Procuratorate Youdu Yushi was enough for the two warriors to respect him. However, this one was still as humble and calm as before, which impressed both of them. Heartbroken.
"Sir, this is not appropriate," Yang Yuan said again.
"Mr. Juya, you are older than my father in terms of age and seniority. Brother Shigong has watched me grow up and is considered my senior. I am also a child of the Wu family. Although I have taken the path of a civil servant, I still have the same spirit in my heart. The blood of the Wu family, otherwise why would the court ask me to clean up this mess? Of course I am willing to do it myself. If I were to spend a few years in the comfort zone of the Jiangnan governor, I would be afraid that I would become useless."
Feng Ziying's words immediately made Yang You feel much more relaxed, and their recognition of Feng Ziying suddenly rose to an extremely high level.
The other party is a top civil servant. To this extent, with this status, most people are reluctant to mention their origins in the Wu family, but this one doesn't care at all, and is even quite proud. This sense of identity that does not forget his roots, It was enough to make both of them heartbroken.
"Since the Governor said so, then I and I will ask you to call me Ziying." Yang Yuan should be more generous. Anyway, after this battle, he will become an official in two or three years. There is nothing to be rigid.
"It should be so." Feng Ziying sat down, "I invite you two here today to discuss the next step of the war. Maybe you two know it. I am the governor of Hebei, and I am afraid that my main focus will be on the south. But from the intelligence from all sides It shows that Jianzhou Jurchens once again instigated the Mongols to harass northern Xinjiang. It may even turn out that some of our allies and quasi-allies, such as the Inner Khalkha and Tumut people Bu Shitu tribe, have some intentions, and We do not rule out that the Outer Khalkhas and Horqin people will be involved, of course this is the worst plan."
Yang Yuan and You Shigong both nodded in approval. Yang Yuan had not been in office for long and was still familiar with the situation, but You Shigong was the commander-in-chief of Laoji Town and was very familiar with these conditions on the grassland.
