Although he has reflected on his current situation, it should not cause people to rise to the level of taking action against him, but it is difficult to say that some people who feel that his sudden rise has affected their interests are secretly causing harm.
This involves a relatively broad scope and is difficult to screen out at once.
After all, when I first became an official, from the suppression of the rebellion in Ningxia to the strategy of opening up the sea, I went south to the south of the Yangtze River, and then to Yongping, there were inevitably many people who would suffer losses. Some people were happy, and naturally some people were unhappy. To a certain extent,
It is inevitable that you will want to use unconventional means to deal with yourself.
Will Su Miao play any role in this? If so, where does it come from?
She was secretly alert in her heart, but on the surface Feng Ziying was still smiling: "The Su family has exaggerated. They are all soldiers serving their orders. I have neither three heads nor six arms, nor the martial arts to kill generals and capture flags. How can I defeat the enemy in one fell swoop? Qian'an City has indeed attacked
I retreated the Mongolian soldiers, but the Mongolian army was defeated but not defeated, so I evaded the real situation and attacked the fictitious attack on the Beijing camp. If it is true that Yongping Minzhuang can kill tens of thousands of Mongolian troops in one sentence, then maybe I should join the military department.
The servant is now."
"Your Excellency is worthy of being the Minister of War." Su Miaomei looked forward to it. "I heard that the combat effectiveness of the Inner Khalkha and Horqin coalition forces is not inferior to that of the Chahar and Outer Khalkha people, or even better than that of the Outer Khalkha people.
Even more fierce, their tens of thousands of troops can defeat a county like Qian'an when they besiege it. Yongminzhuang was only established after you left, right? In just half a year, you can build a Minzhuang strong enough to fight the Mongolian army.
You are an elite, can you say that you cannot be a minister of the Ministry of War?"
Han Qi and Wei Ruolan haven't realized anything yet, but Feng Ziying is different, and they are even more suspicious.
The Mongols' southern invasion was divided into three armies. Most people don't know this. Of course, well-informed people also know that Su Miao stayed in Beijing for several months. They were all high-ranking officials, officials and gentry. It is reasonable to know that, but the East Route Army
It is composed of the Inner Khalkha and Horqin coalition forces. I am afraid that ordinary officials may not know this clearly. They can only generally know that they are Mongolians, or further know that they are Chahar people. However, as a Chahar people
There are not many people who can clearly distinguish between the internal and external Khalkha tribes and the Horqin people.
Of course, it is not impossible if Su Miao is interested and goes out of her way to inquire about people she knows well, or if an official from the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion wants to show off his knowledge in this area and goes out of his way to introduce these situations in front of Su Miao.
, but Su Miao, a singer, can actually remember it so clearly?
Even the Eastern Route Army knew that it was the coalition forces of Nei Khalkha and Horqin, and also knew that Yongmin Zhuang was responsible for the heavy task of blocking Qian'an City?
This is not something that ordinary officials can know. It can be said that not to mention ordinary officials, even the people in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion do not know the inside story. Only people in the Ministry of War can know these inside information differences.
"It's just a fluke. They rely on fortified cities to fight. The Mongols are good at field battles. Moreover, they originally invaded south for the purpose of making money. When they encountered setbacks, they felt that the casualties were not worth the benefits. In addition, we were well prepared, so they calculated the benefits and then turned around and changed their targets.
It's normal." Feng Ziying said calmly, "The Su family has been in our capital not long ago, but they are so concerned about us people in the capital."
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and her heart trembled, and then she said: "Sir, Su Miao hopes to settle down in the capital for a long time. Naturally, she is concerned about her own safety. We can't have the capital city besieged just a few months after arriving.
Are you right? People say that the North is not safe, so of course I am a little worried."
"What about now?" Feng Ziying asked with a smile.
"Master Feng can defeat the Mongolian army with the strength of the people, so what else do I have to worry about?"
When Su Miao smiled, there were two looming dimples at the corners of her mouth. The left side was slightly deeper and the right side was slightly shallower. This asymmetry had a strange beauty. Coupled with the small cheeks, this beauty was immediately amplified, as if
In the early morning, the flower bones covered with dewdrops are shrouded in the morning light, which makes people always have the urge to pick them with their own hands.
Even though Feng Ziying had been among the flowers for a long time, she was still dazzled by her position, and her heart couldn't help but tremble a few times.
A witch, definitely a witch!
"But there is only one Lord Feng. If the Great Zhou Dynasty can have a few more outstanding heroes like Lord Feng, then the North will have no worries, and we in the south of the Yangtze will also have no worries." Su Miao said quietly.
"Are everyone in Su worried about the Japanese pirates landing in Suzhou and Songjiang to raid? There is no need to do so." Wei Ruolan said proudly: "According to my information, after the Japanese pirates landed in Wusongjiang and Liuhebao to raid and plunder, they then settled in Nanhui, Songjiang.
After giving a false shot, he suddenly went north, encountered an attack by our Zhou army in Nantong Prefecture, and then disappeared without a trace, probably escaping back to the sea."
Han Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes. His father had brought back all this news. He had just told Wei Ruolan before the banquet. He didn't expect that this guy would actually show off in front of Su Miao.
"Oh?" Su Miao and Feng Ziying couldn't help asking in surprise.
Su Miao's eyes narrowed, but Feng Ziying had not gone to the Ministry of War in the past two days, so she did not know about the Japanese invasion in the south. She did not expect that the Japanese pirates would make such a big noise again and invade Nantong Prefecture.
However, the river defense and coastal defense in South Zhili are very weak due to the slackness of the past two decades. If the Japanese really have three thousand elites and rely on the maneuverability of their ships, they may really cause a lot of trouble in the South Zhili area.
Big trouble.
This temporary disappearance often indicates greater dangers to come.
Wei Ruolan naturally didn't expect so much. He just felt that Feng Ziying and Su Miao were shocked by it. They were very proud and became more and more excited: "It's also that the army at the guard station in South Zhili is too weak. If we try this in the north,
, Ziying, I heard that the Denglai naval fleet is now very powerful and has begun to build ships equipped with large artillery. By then, not only Donglu, but also Koreans and Japanese will also be somewhat afraid, right?"
Su Miao's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal. Feng Ziying was also made to frown by Wei Ruolan's sudden words, and did not notice the change in Su Miao's expression. This was already considered a military secret.
It was really inappropriate for a prince like Wei Ruolan to casually say these words, especially on such an occasion.
However, Feng Ziying also knows that this has always been the case in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Many officials have no sense of confidentiality at all, but they like to gossip and ask for information everywhere. , this situation is particularly prominent among middle- and junior-level officials.
However, not many people in the Ministry of War knew about the construction of the Denglai naval fleet. Especially after Wang Ziteng went south to Huguang, Shen Yourong took up residence in Denglai and worked hard to build the fleet, and the external information was strictly blocked.
The two shipyards that moved from Ningbo finally started to design and manufacture the Galen and Clark ships from the Franco shipwrights hired from Luzon. In fact, the Galen warships and Clark ships Ships have become extremely common in Europe, and Clark ships are not uncommon in Southeast Asia. Even the Zhou Dynasty did not get involved in this area because of necessity.
Under the strong promotion of Feng Ziying and Shen Yourong, the two shipyards followed Feng Ziying's request and began to poach Hongmaofan and Folangji shipwrights in Manchuria and Luzon, as long as they offered sufficient salaries and It is not difficult to find people, and you can even attract more shipwrights and craftsmen from their home countries through the existing shipwrights, as long as you can afford a sufficient salary.
Although he was doing very well in Denglai, not many people in the capital knew about it. Wang Ziteng himself was not interested in the navy, so he focused all his energy on Denglai's army. After leaving, Denglai's Next to it is Shen Yourong's world.
But how come Wei Ruolan, the young master, knew all this news? You must know that the casting of naval guns has just been put on the agenda. Shen Yourong also mentioned it to Feng Ziying in his heart, poaching a few from Hong Mao Fan. The cannon caster began to plan the cannon casting, and also hoped that Feng Ziying could provide some talents in this field.
"Ruolan, where did you get the news that Denglai Navy was building ships?" Feng Ziying couldn't bear it anymore and asked.
"Haha, I also have some friends in the Ministry of War. A few days ago, when I was drinking with my friends in the Vehicle and Driving Department, I heard one of the chief officers saying that the Denglai Navy fleet now has a huge appetite and actually wants to build a ship that can install large heavy artillery. Ships cost a lot of money. Now that Governor Wang has gone south to Huguang, the Ministry of War is not willing to spend more money on the Navy fleet. For this reason, the Navy fleet has been at odds with the Vehicle and Driving Department of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue."
Wei Ruolan was very proud, but Feng Ziying was gritting her teeth with hatred. The idiots from the Vehicle and Driving Department of the Ministry of War could even spread this information on the wine table. Don't they know the importance and confidentiality of this information? Once it is captured by Donglu and North Korea, People and even Japanese people know about it, but they don't know how many troubles will arise.
"Ruo Lan, it's best not to spread this kind of news indiscriminately, not to mention whether it's true or not. This is an important military matter. You and I are not suitable to talk about this. Please don't spread it in vain." Han Qi saw that Feng Ziying's face was not good-looking. , quickly interjected.
Su Miao quickly nodded in agreement, but Wei Ruolan didn't realize it yet. She opened her mouth and said again and again: "Ziying, you recommended Shen Yourong to Wang Ziteng, right? I heard that Shen Yourong was working in the Military Selection and Cleaning Department of the Ministry of War at that time. Biandu has been sitting on the bench for a long time, saying that it was you who recommended Wang Ziteng because of your insight. Later, Wang Ziteng still complained that the people you recommended were specifically fighting for power and money with him, and that you were talking about the giant ship and cannon plan proposed by Shen Yourong. He is the initiator..."
Feng Ziying immediately felt that Su Miao's eyes fell on her face, and there was an indescribable sharpness. She didn't know if she was a little sensitive.
