In response to Feng Ziying's performance, Emperor Yonglong's grudge disappeared.
After all, you are still a little kid, and you have not yet learned how those old guys can calmly and calmly give you a set of justified excuses, which is good.
In fact, Emperor Yonglong didn't care about this. Whether it was Feng Ziying's sophistry or his euphemistic explanation, it was all within reason. Who would be willing to admit his selfish thoughts? Isn't this a disrespect for the emperor and the court?
Loyal?
But Feng Ziying's half-covered admission was in line with Emperor Yonglong's view of Feng Ziying.
She doesn't hide her true desires, but she also knows how to advance and retreat appropriately. Just like the outside world said that Feng Ziying has the disease of being a widower and is lustful and greedy for sex. Is this worthy of criticism?
Isn't it normal to be talented, well-known in the capital, and charming?
Did he linger in the flower streets and willow lanes and was criticized by the imperial censor, nor did he have an affair with any married woman, but he took a female Hu sister as a concubine and asked for a beautiful maidservant from the whole family to be his own. What does this mean?
I'm afraid people are happy to see the results.
Which girl wouldn't be willing to meet such a young civil servant who was first-class in terms of reputation, talent, and family background, and who had an infinitely bright future? Which family wouldn't be happy?
Of course, Emperor Yonglong also knew that his gift of three bedrooms and a basilica must have added icing on the cake or added fuel to the fire of Feng Ziying's romantic story, making his talent and romantic reputation go hand in hand. This will become a story worth writing in the history books in the future.

"Okay, I also know that Feng Qing is not the kind of person who doesn't know what's important and what's important. Your father should be the same way. Let me tell you how confident you are. I heard that the Ministry of War has not received any news from Li Ruzhang's Ministry." Emperor Yonglong
Feeling free, he leaned against the throne and said leisurely.
"Back to Your Majesty, I and the generals have carefully discussed the matter of going out to Xifengkou to reinforce Caojiazhai this time. One of the original five military camps, He Huchen's Department, was the one who led the troops in the battle of Santun Camp.
The troops who broke out of the encirclement also strongly requested to join the expedition north to Xifengkou to reinforce Cao's village, and their morale was good. However, I considered that the fifth army camp's fighting spirit was greatly reduced after this battle, although He Huchen's troops seemed to be in trouble.
Knowing shame and then being brave, I still didn't dare to agree, and I also had a battalion of the Jizhen Army stationed in Taipingzhai, so I mobilized the elites from various ministries to form such an army. Soldiers are expensive but not expensive. Although the number is
There are not many, but almost all of them are the ones who can jump out and fight best in the entire Yongping Mansion, and the small number of people can also increase the pressure on logistical supplies..."
Feng Ziying spoke eloquently, "I believe that such an army can achieve our goals, but the entrance to Xifeng Mountain is the Yanshan Mountains. The march may be difficult and time-consuming, but I believe that in these few days
News should come in the next few days. By then, Li Ruzhang's and Huang Degong's troops will be able to return to Gubeikou and recapture the Chaohe River.
The Khalkha stabbed him in the back.
Although he knew that Feng Ziying's words were a bit exaggerated, Li Ruzhang's and Huang Degong's troops together only had more than 10,000 people. How could they pose much of a threat to the one or two million Mongolian army? But Emperor Yonglong still liked to hear such encouraging words.
At least it's not like those people in the DPRK and China who know nothing about the current situation on both sides, but they talk the talk better than anyone else. They talk alarmist all day long, lamenting that the Mongols may repeat the siege of Beijing after the Tumu Fort Incident in the Ming Dynasty.
This scene made Emperor Yonglong extremely annoyed every day.
"Well, Feng Qing, I was greatly disappointed with the performance of the Beijing camp in the battle of Santun camp. I didn't expect that the general you mentioned wanted to avenge his shame. What is the situation of this general named He?" Yonglong
The emperor was very interested in the general in the Beijing camp mentioned by Feng Ziying who wanted to join the reinforcement of Cao's village. He had no impression of such an ambitious general. He was probably not of a high level, and most likely he was not a martial artist.
"Is the emperor talking about He Huchen? He is the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Military Battalion and is affiliated with the Department of General Qi Jianyao." Feng Ziying knew that he had successfully aroused the interest of Emperor Yonglong, which was also his purpose of mentioning He Huchen, "This is
He was born in a military household in Baoding, and entered the Shenji camp after passing the Wu Jinshi examination. He has quite a brave spirit. However, due to the chronic illness caused by years of pampering in the Beijing camp, he can only go with the flow. This time he heard that I intend to use troops to reinforce Li Ruzhang.
Ministry, that’s why he wanted to make meritorious service and atone for his sins,..."
When Emperor Yonglong heard Feng Ziying's introduction to He Huchen's situation, he felt a little disappointed. He took the boss as his level was too low. But then he thought about it, wasn't this the case in all the capital camps? The good positions were all occupied by those martial arts disciples.
Naturally, it was not the turn of these talented people who were either from military families or as military jinshi, so they secretly remembered this name.
If the Beijing camp needs to be rebuilt in the future, this person is a character that can be reused. As long as he promotes him out of the rules, and is not a disciple of Wu Xun or a Wu Jinshi, he is simply the best general, and he can naturally be used for his own purposes.
"I heard that many soldiers fled to Yongping Mansion after the defeat of the Beijing camp?" Emperor Yonglong asked seemingly casually: "I wonder how many warriors like He Huchen are still brave enough?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the Beijing camp was only defeated in both the east and west parts of Santunying City. It was not completely wiped out by the Nei Khalka and Horqin coalition forces. Therefore, there were actually many defeated troops who escaped. When I left Yongping Mansion,
Nearly 20,000 soldiers have arrived in Yongping one after another. It is logical that they should go to Zunhua to find Jizhen. I also asked them, probably because they are afraid that Zunhua will have a war with the Mongols, so most of them
They all chose to flee to Yongping. As for the brave warriors that your Majesty mentioned, I can’t comment much..."
Feng Ziying pretended to be trying to remember.
"But when I left, there seemed to be someone who had just come with Han Shangyu and Master Han. Yang Zhaoji seemed to have some background. It is said that he brought a soldier to fight to the death with the Mongolian cavalry and fought several times.
Only by retreating can Master Han and his party be able to escape..."
Yang Zhaoji is indeed a talent. He was able to organize and break up the rear even when the defeat was inevitable. He even staged an ambush after the defeat and launched a beautiful counterattack. Although it did not achieve much results due to lack of troops,
But he still managed to block the opponent's intention to follow and kill him, which was quite rare in the Beijing camp.
Before Feng Ziying left, he also listed Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen as the seed players to be selected for the reorganization of the Beijing Camp Escape Squadron. It would depend on whether they could achieve anything during this period, and then they would be given a good fortune.
Yang Zhaoji, Emperor Yonglong silently remembered this name again, but he did not ask about the person's origin, as that would have been too revealing.
All he had to do was come down and let Lu Song check, and he would know the basic situation of He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji. They were already military attaches in the Beijing camp. If they were not the children of Wu Xun and had certain talents, he would naturally not hesitate to promote them for his own use.
Feng Ziying can now roughly figure out some of Emperor Yonglong's thoughts.
Regarding the Beijing camp, Emperor Yonglong had realized that even if he were the emperor, it would be impossible to completely abolish such a force.
Not to mention that the guard of the capital city itself requires a huge armed force. This is a traditional regulation. Even if this huge armed force may become corrupted over time and its combat effectiveness will gradually fade, as long as a hundred thousand people
It is indispensable to put it there to give comfort to the millions of people in the capital city and even the capital region, and to give psychological comfort to the dignitaries and wealthy families in the capital.
Not to mention that behind this force there are as many as 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers and family members living inside and outside the capital.
This is also a force that cannot be ignored. It may not have much impact in other places, but they live in the capital city, and most of them live in the capital city. Once their interests are harmed, they cannot be underestimated, even for certain people.
To this extent, it can coerce public opinion.
Now what Emperor Yonglong has to do is to do two things. One is to seize control of the Beijing camp through various means. This does not involve ordinary soldiers, but mainly military officers. Now the Inner Khalkha people have captured these people.
The second is to re-enhance the combat effectiveness of this army, but this cannot be achieved in a short time, nor is it even the most urgent, and is far inferior to the former.
As long as there is only this decisive armed force in the capital city, whoever controls it will have the absolute initiative.
Therefore, the few hundred people in Zaisai's hands are very critical.
Feng Ziying guessed something, but she also knew that Emperor Yonglong would never be able to tell him, and he only needed his ministers to figure it out on their own.
"The Inner Khalkha people are good collaborators. They are hostile to the Jurchens in Jianzhou, and at the same time they are not willing to surrender to the Chahar people. Their geographical location is just north of the Chahar people, and the Outer Khalkha people are
The east of the people and the west of Jianzhou Jurchen can even be connected to the East China Sea Jurchen, so the existence of such a collaborator is positive and valuable."
Feng Ziying patiently introduced to Emperor Yonglong why she was willing to negotiate with the Inner Khalkha people and even expressed her intention to form an alliance.
"The Horqin people are very dangerous. Intelligence from various channels shows that they are actively colluding with the Donglu. Once the two parties form an alliance, the Yehe tribe and the Ula tribe sandwiched between them will be very dangerous. Therefore, this attitude of the Horqin people must be resolutely curbed.
, Fortunately, the southern invasion of the Inner Khalkha and Horqin coalition forces has greatly improved Zaisai's prestige. The Inner Khalkha people can exert greater pressure on the Horqin people. I told Zaisai that if necessary, Liaodong
, the Yehe tribe and the five Inner Khalkha tribes can join forces at all costs to completely dismember the Horqin people. In short, the Jianzhou Jurchens must not be allowed to easily reach into the grasslands of Eastern Mongolia..."
