Emperor Yonglong listened very carefully. He knew very well that Feng Ziying was actually expounding the future strategy of Liaodong on behalf of his father. The two father and son should have discussed the strategy of Liaodong, which is normal.
But what he was more interested in right now was the issue of prisoners in the hands of the Inner Khalkhas.
Feng Ziying actually realized it, but he needed to finish his topic, otherwise once Emperor Yonglong's mind turned to topics he was interested in, some of his defenses for his father would be meaningless.
"My father is responsible for the fall of Fushun Gate. I have previously suggested to my father not to be limited by outside criticism. If there are suitable people in Yulin, Datong and even Gansu and Ningxia, he should boldly promote and use them. He is still a little afraid of others.
He said, so the adjustment of the generals in Liaodong was still a little weak, and they were also blinded by the superficial loyalty of some people..."
There was a faint smile on Emperor Yonglong's lips. Feng Ziying had the right intention to come to apologize for her father, but this reason was a bit far-fetched, so let's just listen to it.
Although Feng Tang did not bring many old troops to Liaodong from Datong Yulin, he did a large-scale rotation between Liaodong and Jizhen. It was obviously aimed at Li Chengliang's old troops, fearing to challenge his authority and restrict his actions. This time in Jizhen
This was also the reason for the poor performance in the face of the Chahar invasion, but this kind of thing still happened in Liaodong.
"Feng Qing, the cabinet and I have also discussed your father's matter. Let's not mention it today. Your father's performance in Liaodong is still satisfactory to me. Although Donglu won a game in Fushun, but in Wula
But the ministry suffered a setback, so the merits and demerits should be equal to each other..."
Emperor Yonglong waved his hand, "I am more concerned about the current chaos on the Gyeonggi side. On the Liaodong side, the Eastern captives have retreated, and the situation has been temporarily stable. However, on the Gyeonggi side, the Mongols are still raging, and the Jizhen army is tired of dealing with it.
As for the Fu Army and Datong Army, looking at their performance in Shusigou and Sihaizhi, I can’t even believe them..."
Emperor Yonglong's words seemed to be dissatisfied with the sudden attack and breakthrough of the Xuanfu Army and Datong Army under Niu Jizong by the Waikakarkha people, but Feng Ziying could hear the taste.
The breakthrough of Zhoushuigou and Sihaizhi was a problem of Xuanfu Town. The blame should be placed on the Xuanfu Army. What does it have to do with the Datong Army? Could it be that just because of Niu Jizong, the Governor of Xuanda, the Datong Army also had to take the blame?
It's obviously unreasonable, or was it a slip of the tongue by Emperor Yonglong?
How is this possible? Moreover, Emperor Yonglong's words "I can't believe them" definitely did not refer to Zhousigou and Sihaizhi being broken through by the Mongols. Of course, there was a deeper meaning hidden.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Mongols are at the end of their powerful crossbows and their power cannot penetrate Lu. I think that the Jizhen Army is stationed in the east along the Shunyi-Pinggu line. There is absolutely nothing to worry about. If it is not good for Liaodong, it can also be deployed in Guangning and Daning.
If the army moves south, it will definitely not delay the important event; with the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army working together in the west, there should be no worries..."
Seemingly noticing the dark gaze of Emperor Yonglong, Feng Ziying considered her words and then said: "I grew up in Datong since I was a child. The loyalty of the Datong soldiers to the emperor can be demonstrated every day, and I will never let anyone else influence this.
I feel sad in my heart..."
He didn't mention the Xuanfu army, which was reasonable. He had never stayed in Xuanfu, but Datong was the place where he grew up. Emperor Yonglong should have understood what he meant.
Emperor Yonglong laughed and said, "Well, with the two armies of Xuanfu and Datong working together, and the soldiers serving their orders, I should have no worries."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Great Zhou Dynasty is at its peak, how can it be shaken by a few small foreign enemies?" Feng Ziying stood up and knelt down again, "I only hope that my country, the Great Zhou Dynasty, will last forever, and that the Emperor will live forever, and I will serve you to the death..."
Being eloquent, eloquent, and speaking in one breath are essential skills for officials in this era, right?
It doesn't seem to be entirely true. Feng Ziying vomited in her heart. At least important officials like Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia may no longer be able to show their ability to please the emperor as casually as she did.
Sure enough, as mentioned in the play, Emperor Yonglong's face was filled with joy.
Don't think that Emperor Yonglong is just that kind of foolish emperor who only listens to flattery. He was able to fight with the Supreme Emperor for more than ten years, and successfully suppressed Prince Yi Zhong who was ready to move and had the support of Wuxun mainstream, making it impossible for the Supreme Emperor to revive Prince Yi Zhong.
As the crown prince, he was finally able to sit on the position of great treasure, and he could also compete with a group of sophisticated cabinet ministers and big bosses from the six ministries. How could Emperor Yonglong be a fatuous person?
How could he not see that Feng Ziying's words came from the bottom of his heart?
Feng Ziying's words indeed came from the bottom of her heart. At present, the Zhou Dynasty really cannot be in chaos and cannot live without this Yonglong Emperor.
Although Emperor Yonglong is not a holy king, he is at least an above-average character, and he is able to clearly understand the current priorities of the court. He was decisive in suppressing the northern scholars' criticism of the Kaihai strategy in the end.
Promoting the opening of the sea shows that the emperor still has some ambition and foresight.
Of course, the limitations of the times and the selfishness of being a representative of imperial power inevitably determine that he will consider more for the Zhang family's imperial power or his own power. This is understandable. Feng Ziying would have no problem sitting in that position.
Suppress Wu Xun and Prime Minister Quan mercilessly.
Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will get cash and coins!
However, Feng Ziying felt that even if she wanted to attack Wu Xun or Prime Minister Quan, she should at least assess the situation and choose the best time to take action.
From the current point of view, Emperor Yonglong and the Ministry of War of the Cabinet cooperated well in the magnificent attack on the Beijing camp. Of course, he also played a key role in fueling the flames. This is probably the reason why Emperor Yonglong was so happy with him.
one.
Emperor Yonglong was indeed in a happy mood. Feng Ziying expressed his attitude in a very cryptic but firm tone. Emperor Yonglong began to appreciate this increasingly mature guy more and more.
The Datong Army is the foundation of the Feng family. Although the second among the three Feng brothers has long since passed away, and the third oldest, Feng Tang, has long since resigned from the post of Datong Army General, he later took over as Yulin Army General and Jiliao Governor and Liaodong Town Governor.
The commander-in-chief can also give some hope to the old subordinates of Datong, making him still very prestigious in the Datong army.
The old boss was promoted, and he also took away old subordinates such as Cao Wenzhao and the You brothers. Cao Wenzhao was already the deputy commander-in-chief, and You Shigong became the commander-in-chief of Jizhen.
Of course, the You brothers were subordinates recruited by Feng Tang in Yulin, but Cao Wenzhao is an out-and-out Datong old subordinate, which shows that the old boss has not forgotten his former subordinates. If there is a chance, they can naturally follow the old boss to get promoted and make a fortune.
Therefore, the Feng family still has considerable influence in the Datong Army.
As long as the Feng family is still there, it will be impossible for Niu Jizong to completely control the Datong Army. This may be the reason why Niu Jizong is most afraid.
Even if Niu Jizong could control the entire Xuanfu Army, as long as he could not control the Datong Army, even if the boss might have some kind of tacit understanding with the Mongols to hold back the Ji Zhen Army, Niu Jizong would not dare to act rashly. This was why Emperor Yonglong and the Ministry of War had
The reason why Shang Ji spared no effort to urge the Datong Army to quickly enter Shuntian Mansion was to balance the Xuanfu Army, which Niu Jizong had the strongest control over.
As long as the Datong Army and the Xuanfu Army are balanced, even if Chen Jixian of the Fifth Army Camp in the capital city has second thoughts, Qiu Shiben's Shenshu Camp can suppress it. If this delicate balance is not broken, even if the father has any ideas, he will not do it now.
Dare to move.
"I heard that Feng Qing grew up in a border town of Datong,..." Emperor Yonglong was still a little worried. He felt that he had to remind him.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have been following my father in Datong since I was five years old. Because I was naughty since I was a child, my father always took me to run around with me. I don't dare to know everything about Datong, but I have basically been there..."
Feng Ziying thought clearly, "Well, I heard that this time the Datong Army marched eastward to the capital to reinforce the Jizhen Army, and there were also some of my elders and friends. Even in Xuanfu Town, there were also my family members, and I had not contacted them for a long time.
Okay, I was just saying that if I can defeat the Mongols this time, I would like to find a chance to get together..."
"Oh?" Emperor Yonglong's eyes flashed, "Feng Qing is serious. It turns out that the soldiers of the border army of Datong Xuanfu have worked hard all the way."
Are you interested? Well, Feng Ziying thought about the meaning of Emperor Yonglong's words, "Your Majesty's kindness in remembering me will be conveyed to..."
Some of the words came to an end, but the emperor seemed a little afraid that he would not understand it. Feng Ziying's thoughts kept turning, maybe Emperor Yonglong needed to send some kind of signal himself?
This idea was still being considered until Feng Ziying left the palace.
However, Feng Ziying soon realized that she was still too naive. In the evening, it was reported that the emperor summoned Feng Ziying, a fellow governor of Yongping Prefecture, and praised her performance in fighting the Mongols in Yongping Prefecture. He had ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War to report their merits.
Already.
When Feng Ziying heard the news, she almost dropped the spoon in her hand.
This news spread like wildfire, and even the details that he stayed in the palace for nearly an hour and received a jade pendant from the Holy Spirit spread quickly. It was obvious that this was intended to build momentum.
Even if there is no confidentiality in the palace, the fact that such details can be spread out so quickly and in such detail has a lot of meaning.
What do Prince Yi Zhong and Niu Jizong think when they find out? What do Chen Jixian, who is pretending to be ill, think? They may have to think twice before doing anything.
Holding his wife's slightly bloated body, Shen Yixiu faced Feng Ziying's frown and insisted on asking for answers. Feng Ziying had no choice but to explain the details thoroughly, especially the emperor's sophisticated methods of divorcing Shen Yixiu. After hearing this, I was stunned and didn't know how to comfort my husband.
After a long time, Shen Yixiu said quietly: "Ms. sir, what are you worried about? Isn't it good to value the emperor's trust? Or maybe you are worried about Prince Yi Zhong..."
