Xiang Ling's kneeling down shocked Feng Ziying, and she quickly helped Xiang Ling up, "Girl, what are you doing the most?"
"Sir, I can't thank you enough in this life. I can only repay your kindness by working as a cow or a horse in my next life..." Xiangling burst into tears, her beautiful eyes were red and swollen, and she just kowtowed.
Indeed, in this era, which master would take notice of a maid’s mother? Not to mention taking such painstaking efforts to find her for you, even asking one more question would be a great kindness to you, let alone Feng Ziying’s return.
Xiangling was told to bring her mother to the capital city to live in the house, but even a good concubine would not receive such treatment.
For Feng Ziying, she really didn't pay much attention to this. This is also caused by modern consciousness.
Thinking about the fact that someone gave her an innocent daughter to him, and she worked and served him during the day, and slept in bed at night. Maybe he would give birth to a boy and a half girl in the future. It’s not like he didn’t have the conditions to let his mother do it.
Isn't it a natural thing to live in a side courtyard so that mother and daughter can see each other often and take care of them?
But in the mind of a maid like Xiang Ling, it is simply unimaginable. She is almost acting like a real wife. How can this be done?
"Forget about the next life, this life is still long. If you really feel that I am grateful for what I have done, there are many opportunities to repay it. Well, for example tonight..."
Feng Ziying's words made Xiang Ling blush again, but in her agitated mood, she didn't know how to speak. She just twisted her body and pursed her lips, choking slightly, and her charming and charming look made Feng Ziying even more intoxicated.
, he simply picked up the other person's waist and knees, and went straight to the back room amidst Xiangling's exclamations.
That night Feng Ziying once again experienced the taste of "feudal decadent and decadent life", which made him more determined to create a more glorious scene in this decadent and declining era. He must not let himself down in order to be worthy of such an era.
your own gift.
**********
I have always thought about going to Jia Mansion and Lixiangyuan, but the time has never been right.
Every morning early in the morning, I either have to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, or the Chinese Book Department, or I have to be summoned by the cabinet, and I don't even have time to go to the Hanlin Academy.
Before she even left the house, someone was already waiting at the door, and there were so many posts that Feng Ziying had to take time to browse them every day to avoid missing important ones.
"Mr. Shen, the matter here has basically been decided. The Ministry of War has probably discussed the specific time with you, right? You may have to take office as soon as possible. Where will you transfer manpower from? In addition, I suggest that you also equip the officials and assistants.
If you think about it carefully, Denglai built everything from scratch, but in the end the ship must be built according to the standards of the Western Yi people..."
Shen Yourong looked at the young man in front of him and felt a little dazed for a moment.
When the other party came to talk to him about this matter, he felt that the other party was exaggerating. Even though the other party did have a strong background, it was related to the change of the national policy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could one or two people reverse it?
But I didn’t expect how long it would take. Within a few months, this momentum had already been built. Denglai appointed a special governor to build a wharf, shipyard and even a naval fleet in Denglai. The goal was not only to open up Liaodong, but also to Covering Japan, Korea and even further afield in Ezo and Haixi, Savage Jurchen.
Of course, this cannot be accomplished in a year and a half, but even if it takes ten years, it is still worth it!
"Master Feng, please rest assured. I will not dare to delay the imperial government's plans. I will make preparations immediately when I return today. I will report to Denglai first, and then transfer back to Fujian. I still have a lot of people there, and there are many others." There are few troops who are willing to fight, but I don’t know how to prepare and reorganize this navy. In terms of strategy..."
Shen Yourong's posture was very low. He knew very well that the Denglai-Liaodong strategy was entirely promoted by the other party. Of course, this was also the insistence of the scholars in the north and central Korea, but no matter what, this strategic change was exciting. This means that the imperial court finally began to take the right step, and no longer treated headaches and pains as before.
Feng Ziying did not hide it from him, and also proposed the Denglai-Liaodong strategy that would extend to the East China Sea and the Savage Jurchens, that is, behind the Jianzhou Jurchens. Only in this way can passiveness become proactive. Shen Yourong also strongly agreed with this.
Shen Yourong is also familiar with the situation in the Liaodong Army. Shen Yourong is naturally aware of the difficulties faced by Liaodong at this time. Due to difficulties in logistical support and low morale, in fact, if the current Liaodong Town wants to take the initiative to attack Jianzhou Nuzhen, it will not have the advantage. If you don't pay attention, you will get into trouble. The mentality of eager to fight and win is not suitable for Liaodong Town.
In order to win the war against the Jianzhou Jurchens, several problems need to be solved. The first is logistics, the second is morale, and the third is the possible impact of the surrounding Hercynian Jurchens and Mongolian tribes. Only after solving these problems After the problem is solved, only by gathering a large number of troops and fighting steadily can we have a chance of winning.
Although Li Chengliang is old and tends to be conservative, he has to admit that in recent years he has seen the advantages and disadvantages of Jianzhou Jurchen relatively accurately. However, it is limited to various reasons. He cannot find it or can find it but cannot implement it. solutions to these problems.
"Master Shen, if you want to ask me about the specific training strategy of the naval fleet, you are asking blindly." Feng Ziying laughed, "You are an expert in this aspect, and everything is up to you to decide. Denglai , I once talked with Governor Wang, and he agreed to let you do it, but it will take a while, especially on naval ships and cannons. In my personal opinion, the standards must be high, and it is best to go west. The Yi people learn..."
"..., the starting point should be higher to prevent us from falling behind before we can put it to use. How to do this, you have to figure out for yourself, whether it is a person, a ship, or a cannon, you can get it You have to figure it out for yourself. The Governor's Mansion and even the imperial court can only support you with money. Everything else has to be on your own..."
Shen Yourong left, full of longing and hope, but also a little worried.
He knew very well that this process was not that simple to achieve, but it had to be done this way. For example, hiring Xiyi shipbuilders, sailors and even gunsmiths was not something that could be accomplished overnight. It was a systematic process. A comprehensive project, although he did not understand the specific meaning, but he knew that it was very complicated.
Before Shen Yourong left, he also dropped a bomb on Feng Ziying, who was also blown up by Feng Ziying.
His father is going to be the governor of Jiliao?!
Isn't he the Governor of Trilateral? Why did he become the Governor of Jiliao?
What was the situation in Liaodong? Feng Ziying had been paying attention to the news coming back from the staff all day long, and she knew very well.
In addition to solving the Huifa Tribe, Hada Tribe and other Haixi tribes, Nurhaci is now leading the Jianzhou Jurchens to find various excuses to use cannibalism to devour the Ula Tribe of the Haixi Jurchens, and has gradually made some progress. The Battle of Wujieyan Later, Jianzhou Jurchen's advantage over Ula became increasingly obvious, and once it annexed the Ula tribe, it opened the way to the entire East China Sea Jurchen (savage Jurchen).
Judging from the current situation, the main focus of Jianzhou Jurchens is to annex the entire Ula tribe. Once the Ula tribe is annexed, it will be difficult for the relatively backward and loose Donghai Jurchens to withstand the pressure of Jianzhou Jurchens. It is a high probability event, and once the East China Sea Jurchens are included in the bag, the Haixi Jurchen Ye He tribe, which is also resisting the Jianzhou Jurchens in the west, will no longer be able to compete with the Jianzhou Jurchens, especially those to the west of the Ye He tribe. When Horqin Mongolia began to flirt with the Jianzhou Jurchens, it became even more difficult for the Ye He tribe to resist.
At this time, his father was actually going to be the governor of Jiliao, which made Feng Ziying feel that there was some unknown conspiracy here.
Feng Ziying is very clear about her father's situation. He is by no means a genius general, nor does he have much wisdom and strategy. Probably the only advantage worthy of praise is his cautious and meticulous character, but such advantages will turn into disadvantages at some point, eh , means lack of courage to make a decisive decision.
Originally, she wanted to go to the Ministry of War to ask Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke immediately, but Feng Ziying restrained her emotions and calmed down to think carefully.
After thinking about it for a while, Feng Ziying realized that her father's appointment as governor of Jiliao seemed to be a relatively safe arrangement at present. Except for her father, several other candidates seemed to have obvious flaws. Xiong Tingbi also jumped into Feng Ziying's position. With his vision, he is also a well-deserved strong man in the history of the Ming Dynasty. If it were not for his bad relationship with the Li family, Xiong Tingbi would definitely be the most suitable candidate.
It's a pity that there has never been an if.
The imperial court has appointed you as the governor of Jiliao. As a minister, your father has no right to refuse this appointment. No reason will suffice. Even if you are very wronged, you must accept it.
If he couldn't shirk it, Feng Ziying had to plan for her father Haosheng what kind of tricks he, the governor of Jiliao, should make on the territory of Jiaji Town, Liaodong in the next few years.
If my father becomes the governor of Jiliao, while preparing for war and replenishing food, wages and military supplies, he must first find a way to intervene and influence the Jurchen annexation of the Ula tribe in Jianzhou. Even if he cannot directly send troops, he should also prepare for the war with supplies, weapons and supplies. Intelligence and other aspects gave full support to the Ula tribe to prevent the Ula tribe from falling quickly.
At the same time, we must support the Ye He tribe and encourage the Ye He tribe to start harassing and confronting the Jurchens in Jianzhou. This is the simplest and most feasible strategy.
In addition, it is necessary to cut off the back and forth between Horqin and the Jianzhou Jurchens, cut off the possibility of Horqin falling into the Jianzhou Jurchens, and avoid the possible flanking attack by Ye He's tribe.
Although these moves may not necessarily require sending troops directly, and can only be achieved by paying some weapons, food, tea and other materials, they do require sufficient experience, which seems to be my father's strength.
