Having said that, even if she has made up her mind, Feng Ziying knows that convincing or subduing her colleagues is not an easy task.
No one wants to fight again at this time. Whether it is from the perspective of suppressing military forces, reducing the number of troops and reducing financial pressure, or from the perspective of stabilizing the internal situation, rectifying government, and focusing on the development of workers and peasants, no one agrees with Feng Ziying's point of view.
Even within myself, no one supports attacking Mongolia at this time.
And from the perspective of timing, if the Mongols are in internal strife, let them fight to death. When the fighting is almost done, wouldn't it be good for Zhou to come and clean up the situation?
We must go all out to sweep Mongolia now. It sounds domineering and mighty, but has the cost been calculated and will the result be as expected?
"Ziying, is it appropriate?" Lian Guoshi frowned, subconsciously not agreeing, "You have said it, now the Chahar people seem to have the strength to fight, and the Nei Khalkha people want to take Chahar all at once.
It’s not that easy for us to defeat them, so why don’t you wait a little longer? Why don’t we wait until they are almost defeated and both sides will suffer, then we take action?”
"It just seems that they have the strength to fight. In fact, I am not sure. And my intuition tells me that I am afraid that the Chahar people's internal strength and internal aggression have been seen through by Zai Sai, so they are so eager to take action. Zai Sai
I'm afraid they are also worried about us interfering." Feng Ziying shook her head, "After all, in the past two years, the situation on the grassland has been somewhat ignored.
It’s a little different,…”
"Ziying, are you worried that the Chahar people will be defeated by the Nekarkha people?" Lian Guoshi noticed Feng Ziying's inner hesitation and uncertainty. This situation is rare.
"How should I put it? I have a bad premonition that the Chahar people may be worse than what we see on the surface. Naiman, Aohan and other troops may even have quietly defected to the Inner Khalkha people..."
This is not a lie by Feng Ziying, but there is information pointing to it, but it cannot be confirmed.
Feng Ziying breathed a long sigh of relief. He could tell the other party that Lin Dan Khan was like this in his previous life. His seemingly invincible Western Expedition defeated the right wing of Mongolia. He seemed to want to unify the entire Mongolia, but he was immediately beaten to a pulp by Huang Taiji. In just a short time
It was destroyed in two years, and he ended up dead in a foreign land?
Chahar Feng Ziying now feels that he may be even weaker than in his previous life, but without the attacks of the Zhou Dynasty and Jianzhou Jurchen, it is difficult to expose the essence of his weakness.
Once the Inner Khalkhas, who are at their most powerful, defeat them, the situation in Mongolia will definitely change drastically. Even the Tumuts, who may have been divided, will succumb to the blades of the Inner Khalkhas and be united by then.
The Mongols are just like Dayan Khan back then, with great momentum, and the threat to the Zhou Dynasty will increase exponentially. It may not be that simple to defeat the Zhou Dynasty, and it may even take several times more time and cost.
Upon hearing this, Lian Guoshi was also surprised.
Although the Aohan and Naiman tribes of the Eighth Chahar Division are not valued by Lindan Batur, their strength is not weak. If these two divisions are secretly in cahoots with the Inner Kalkha people, they may even defect to the Inner Kalkha people.
People, but Lindan Batur didn't know it, this shows how weak Lindan Batur's control over the Chahar tribes is.
"Ziying, do you have any basis for this? If the Chahar people internally colluded with the Nekarkha people, then the situation would be very different." Lian Guoshi said solemnly: "Now there is a lot of opposition between the DPRK and China.
, if you submit it to the cabinet, I don’t think anyone will agree with your opinions, and the same will be true at the meeting of ministers. Don’t think that after the meeting, everyone will recognize your ideas and support all your opinions, even if
It's me, and I think it's too reckless and hasty for you to launch a conquest against Mongolia now..."
"There is some evidence, but if you want to tell me how accurate it is, I won't hide it from you. Not entirely." Feng Ziying considered the words. In the face of state affairs, he had nothing to hide, "Informants from Shanxi businessmen, Zai Sai gave
Aohan and Naiman received a lot of materials from the Second Division, and the nobles of the Second Division must have been bribed. In addition, Lin Dan Batur was not so close to the Second Division, and was a bit marginalized, so the Second Division turned to
The possibility of Inner Khalkhas is very high..."
"Isn't there any news from Fang Si and Long Jinwei?" Lian Guoshi also frowned. This was not enough to convince others.
"Zifangsi has been slacking off a bit in the past two years, and Long Jinwei may not be thinking about it anymore." Feng Ziying said calmly: "Once the threat of Jianzhou Jurchen is eliminated, Zifangsi seems to be unable to find its own direction.
Well, in addition to the fact that the Khalkhas were allies with us in the early period, they didn't bother to do it, and the Japanese, Dongwu, Jiaozhi and even Nanyang didn't bother to do it. I mentioned it to Zhisheng, but Zhisheng probably didn't either.
I care too much, as for Long Jinwei,..."
Due to her close relationship with Sun Chengzong, Feng Ziying could not directly intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of War too much. Moreover, Xiong Tingbi was in charge of the Zifang Division and had a somewhat stubborn personality. He did not like others to interfere in his affairs, so Feng Ziying had only dealt with the affairs of the Twelve in the past two years.
The town army tightened its control and let go of the internal affairs of the Ministry of War, so the official department relaxed somewhat.
As for the Long Jin Lieutenant, external spying itself is not his main responsibility, but controlling the palace ban and internal instability is his main responsibility.
But Feng Ziying also realized that no matter what, she was still a little careless about Mongolia, and focused more on Nanyang.
"If this is the case, Ziying, it will be difficult for your proposal to be passed by the cabinet, and it will be difficult to get the support of important ministers at the court meeting. Even I will be difficult to convince, so why talk about others?" Lian Guoshi said flatly.
Feng Ziying's assertion about practicing state affairs made Feng Ziying hesitate for a moment, but she quickly became determined again, "Even if everyone opposes it, I will still stick to my opinion."
Lian Guoshi was surprised and looked at Feng Ziying in confusion: "Ziying, why is this happening? The cabinet has just been formed. If you insist on going your own way, once you are frustrated, it will endanger the stability of the cabinet..."
"Jun Yu, if you endanger the stability of the cabinet, why don't you just say that my position as chief minister is unstable?" Feng Ziying shook her head, "I know that this question is difficult to solve, but if you don't do it, once the situation develops out of control,
We still have to do it, and the price will be higher and the consequences will be greater..."
"But now there is no evidence to prove what you said. What you do can easily arouse some people's doubts and even firm opposition!" Lian Guoshi raised his voice: "Neither Ziqiang Gong nor Zi Shu will agree, even Zi Xian Gong will not agree.
You won’t agree, and 90% of the important ministers won’t agree either. What’s the point of doing this?”
Feng Ziying remained silent.
"Also, Ziying, you should know the current situation. Duke Ziqiang and Duke Youfu are trying their best to help you, but don't you know what the situation is like? Yu Chen, Bo Fu and the others have already made arrangements with Duke Ziqiang and Youfu.
The boundaries have been cleared. Li Banghua and Zhu Guozhen are now spreading rumors and incitement in Jiangnan. The public is furious and the world is furious! If you still do this at this time, don't you really want to..."
Lian Guo Shi also couldn’t figure out why Feng Ziying was so stubborn on this issue.
After finally forming a new cabinet, it seems to have achieved a complete victory, but in fact many people are observing and have even begun to gather to find flaws, especially in many cases where they are willing to cooperate with us on the surface, but their inner resentment and hostility are not
It is hidden in the heart.
The reform of the examination law proposed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs has touched the interests of many people. The squires have lost their supervisory power and influence over officials. This is unbearable for them, even if it can be achieved in terms of economic interests.
There is some differentiation, but many people value their influence on local officials more, and they may even give up some money.
If they can barely tolerate the implementation of the imperial examination law, the solicitation plan for the reform of the imperial examination issued by the Ministry of Rites will directly end it.
No orthodox gentleman can tolerate such a provocation, or challenge.
Controlling the path of official career has always been the patent of scholars, and no one can share it.
Originally, in the Yuanxi Dynasty, the change from pure classics and righteousness to classics and righteousness as the mainstay and current affairs as a supplement caused a lot of controversy. Many people wrote in tears to oppose it. However, how can we say that current affairs can be regarded as the line of government?
Officials also have to understand current affairs, but the proportion is not large. After several battles, they reluctantly accepted it.
But how many years is it now?
There's going to be another reform, and it's going to be changed to some bullshit, financial planning, and laws!
They are all despicable people, craftsmen, merchants and litigants are pursuing things, but they actually want to go to the hall and sit on an equal footing with the scholars. How can this be done?
Over time, the country will no longer be a country!
Feng Ziying, who doesn’t believe in state affairs, can’t feel the changes in the outside world.
Han Sun and others were silent and gathering strength. Li Banghua and Zhu Guozhen even entangled Gao Panlong, Gu Tianquan and others. If it weren't for Tang Binyin and Huang Ruliang because of Han Jing and Xu Xie, they would have
I was dragged in by this group of people.
The Jiangnan gentry are becoming polarized. One group is the gentry who founded their clan based on industry and commerce, and the other is the country gentry whose foundation is land. Although the former's financial resources are increasing day by day, their influence is still slightly inferior to those of the latter.
There are still a large number of people, especially among Jiangnan officials, who support these squires.
The same is true for the northern scholars, and the power of the northern gentry is far greater than that of the merchants. Even though the Shanshan and Shaanxi merchants have strong financial resources, their influence at the central and local levels is still far less than that of these gentry.
It can be said that from the Ministry of Personnel's examination method to the Ministry of Rites' imperial examination reform, these two measures have hit the key point of the scholars, or in other words, the key points of the conservative scholars.
The anti-Feng forces are quickly gathering together. However, the great meeting has just passed, and Feng Ziying has also won the support of military officials. Everyone is still a little wary and dare not easily launch a counterattack. ()
