"Yoshida, what do you think of this person?" After entering the room, Su Miao restrained her previous cold temperament and replaced it with a deep sense of gloom. In one hand, she held a smaller folding fan and played with it gently.
With.
"Miss, are you interested in this person?" The man who looked like a sheathed blade also hid the strong murderous aura in his body, frowning and said: "This person's martial arts skills are very ordinary, but the woman next to him disguised as a man can't
I'm underestimating it, but if we make a surprise attack, she won't be able to dodge my three moves. If we meet head-on, if she can't escape within thirty moves, I can kill her."
"What about the other people?" Su Miao said with great interest: "Feng Keng is not good at martial arts, I know that, but he can make a group of people repel the Mongolian cavalry. Although he is defending against the city,
The enemy still failed to succeed after several times, which makes me very curious. I always have to understand the reason for the opponent's victory to feel at ease."
"Could it be that his father specially sent a personal guard to protect him..." Yoshida Hideji didn't believe that a civil servant could have such courage and strategy, and frowned, "That dark-faced young man does look like a samurai.
My killing intent must have been tempered by countless battles on the battlefield. The other person is very ordinary and cannot be seen. The other three people should be martial arts masters in the Central Plains, but their level is not particularly high. I can fight one against two by myself.
Defeat them, but it is more difficult to kill them. If we fight one against three, I am not sure."
Defeating and killing the opponent are two different concepts. Yoshida also uses this method to introduce the opponent's level.
"Yoshida, Feng Keng is not a simple person. After Taikaku's death, General Ieyasu turned to General Ieyasu. Until now, General Hidetada and General Ieyasu have different views. There are still people who are disobedient to the general in the country, but the general cannot punish them.
Using force, so relying on external wars to establish military honors was also a choice made by General Hidetada..."
Su Miao's words made Yoshida Hideji nod silently. Their group was ordered to go north by Ban Anji this time, mainly to fully understand the confrontation between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Mongols and Jurchens in the north.
"Miss, we have been away from China for too long, and we are no longer as comfortable in China as we were before the Battle of Bunroku Keicho more than ten years ago." Yoshida Shuji shook his head, "I don't know the purpose of General Terasawa and his troops' march to Jiangnan this time.
, but the harassment is of little significance. If General Hidetada only uses this small force, it will be difficult to achieve even the containment effect."
"This cannot be achieved overnight, we can only take our time." Su Miao said calmly: "Master Wakiita asked us to collect all the intelligence we can. It is for long-term considerations. Three thousand troops are not enough to even harass.
, Succeeding for a while doesn’t mean anything. General Xiuzhong may have used them to test how the situation of Dazhou is compared with twenty years ago, but now it seems that in some aspects Dazhou is much worse than it was twenty years ago, but
After all, Dazhou is so big and has so many talented people that we cannot underestimate it."
"Miss, are you talking about this Feng Keng? You think too highly of him, right? He is just a civil servant who relies on the shadow of his father's generation. He may still have some abilities, but if you think he can have any threat to us, I really don't know.
You can see it." Yoshida Xiuji disagreed.
"Humph, Yoshida, prejudice has blinded your eyes. It is not easy to think about the fact that the Yongping New Army can defeat the Mongols. Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Once we really want to go to war with the Zhou Dynasty, we urgently need to master every force.
The basic situation of every civil servant and general in the army, including the various complex relationships within them, so that we can determine the most appropriate countermeasures."
Su Miao's words surprised Yoshida Hideji, "Miss, Mr. Terazawa and the others are not capable of launching an attack on China, are they?"
"Of course not now, but what about in the future?" Su Miao said coldly, "The Battle of Bunroku Keicho fell short due to the death of Taiko, but we can already get a glimpse of the weakness of Joseon and the incompetence of the Zhou Dynasty, Hidetada.
If the general wants to inherit the glory of General Ieyasu, and if he wants to prove that the Tokugawa family can replace the Toyotomi family and achieve great success, he must inherit Taiko's legacy and move forward. Otherwise, why would Terasawa and Wakita-sama take such action?
"
Su Miao's words made Yoshida Shuji speechless for a while. There were still some opinions in the country about General Ieyasu replacing the Toyotomi lineage. After all, Taikaku unified Japan and achieved great success. General Ieyasu was suspected of enjoying the success, and now Taikaku still has Hideyori.
, so there are many people in the country who support Hideyori, which also makes General Ieyasu very troubled and worried.
"At this stage, we need to understand and evaluate the true strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the past ten years, we in Japan have hardly paid much attention to China's affairs. Their internal and external environment has undergone some changes. Did we ever expect the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchen?
?Now its pressure on the Zhou Dynasty has even exceeded that of the Mongols. Liaodong has replaced Jizhen and Xuanfu as the most elite military town of the Zhou Dynasty. It is to fight against the Jurchens in Jianzhou, which will inevitably affect our strategy against Korea.
,…”
Hideji Yoshida finally nodded: "The lady means..."
"This Feng Keng is the son of Feng Tang, the governor of Jiliao, and Yongping Mansion is a choke point for the transportation of materials from the Central Plains to Liaodong. He serves as a co-president here, and he also defeated the Mongolian invasion. He has great ambitions and cannot be underestimated.
"Look, it is unrealistic for us to go to Liaodong to understand the situation now, but by understanding the layout of Yongping Mansion, we can get a glimpse of all aspects of the situation in Liaodong and even Ji Town in the Great Zhou Dynasty..."
Su Miao pondered for a moment and said, "Yoshida, do you know that this time Terazawa, Jiuki and Wakiita sent troops to the south of the Yangtze River, which is far away from Jurchen in Jianzhou?"
Yoshida Hideji was shocked, "Are you saying that the general has formed an alliance with the Jianzhou Jurchens?"
"I don't know this anymore. I only know that Nurhaci, the leader of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, is not a simple person. He can win over the Mongols and naturally wants to win over us. I think everyone is willing to be his pawn.
." A flash of light flashed across Su Miaomei's eyes, "But who can tell clearly who will use whom in the end?"
Yoshida Shuji did not pick up the topic again, but asked directly: "What does the lady want Yoshida to do now?"
"Follow that Feng Keng and see what he is doing when he enters Shuntian Mansion this time. As far as I know, local officials in Dazhou are not allowed to leave their territory easily, but he entered Shuntian Mansion incognito. There must be something important. We just need to
Only by fully understanding the opponent can we make correct judgments and decisions when facing him in the future."
Gently closing the small folding fan, Su Miao's eyes turned deep: "I have a feeling that this Feng Keng will become an important chess piece in the future."
“Chess piece?” Yoshida Hideji was puzzled.
"Everyone in the world is a chess piece. There is a saying among the Han people: male and female are snail-horned colonels, and men and women are vying for strength in the light of stone fire. It seems to be a kind of contempt for everyone who cares about competing for these interests, but you and I are mortals and cannot avoid worldly affairs. Therefore,
Whether on a snail's horn or in the light of a stone's fire, we still have to fight and do our best, and is it not the same for Terasawa and Wakiita-sama?" Su Miao sighed quietly: "So we are all chess pieces, and Feng Keng is also the same.
Likewise, how to accurately determine the direction of these chess pieces can help our chess pieces make the correct direction."
Feng Ziying naturally didn't know that what she did had attracted the attention of many interested people. Just this trip to the counties of Shuntian Prefecture incognito made many people pay attention to him.
At this time, he was paying a visit to Fengrun County Magistrate Liu Sijie along with Wen Zhenmeng.
“It’s rare, Ziying, you have visited me Fengrun many times but never stopped. Why did you come to Fengrun so rashly today without fear of impeachment by the Metropolitan Procuratorate?”
Liu Sijie is from Gan County, Jiangyou. He is a typical Jiangnan scholar. He is thirty-eight or nine years old. He is much older than Wen Zhenmeng. He can be regarded as Feng Ziying's elder. Moreover, Liu Sixue and Zhou Yongchun
, Bi Ziyan is both a Jinshi in the same subject, and they have a good relationship, and Zhou Bi and Zhou Bi are now the mountain chief and dean of Qingtan Academy, and Feng Ziying is the pride of Qingtan Academy, so although Liu Sijie is only a sixth-grade
, two levels lower than Feng Ziying Pinyi, but there is nothing wrong with calling Ziying in private.
"Brother Zhongfu, please don't scare Ziying. He is already troubled by the refugee issue. Otherwise, why would he come to you for help?" Although Wen Zhenmeng was hesitant about Feng Ziying's request before, once he made a decision,
, but will not be perfunctory, but will tell the other party the difficulties in a serious manner.
"Oh? Are you here for the refugees crossing the border?" Liu Sijie had actually anticipated the purpose of Feng Ziying and Wen Zhenmeng's visit. It turns out that Wen Zhenmeng was the deputy director of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although they had not come to visit him yet, the two of them came together to visit him.
Of course he understood his intention when he came here, "As far as I know, the refugees should still be over there in Yutian, and they haven't arrived in my Fengrun territory yet, right?"
"It is true that we have not reached Fengrun yet, but we estimate that we will enter Fengrun within two or three days. However, judging from the current situation of the refugees in Xianghe, Baodi and Yutian, it is not very good. Because of the sudden change in weather, the refugees in Baodi and Yutian thought there was a lack of camping.
There are many diseases on the scaffolding that provides shelter from the wind and rain, and the preparation of porridge and soup is insufficient, and the time has been delayed by nearly ten days. If this continues, I am afraid that this group of refugees will stay in Fengrun for more time.
,…”
Before coming here, Feng Ziying had already had a business plan with Wen Zhenmeng. Feng Ziying was a good person, and Wen Zhenmeng was a bad person. Otherwise, people like Liu Sijie, who had been county magistrates in many places, would not be easily persuaded.
Now that Fengrun has experienced harassment by the Horqin people, the situation is also very bad. Many displaced people have not yet been resettled, which makes Liu Sijie very irritable. Now he is asked to care about the refugees from other places crossing the border to Yongping Mansion.
Son, how could he be serious?
For him to take it seriously, the only way to do it is to use something unexpected.
