"Zhou Yu went to the army at the age of nine, and Gan Luo paid homage to the prime minister at the age of twelve. There are many things in this world that you don't know and people don't know." Jia Yucun sneered, with a look of disdain on his face, "Yes, Ziying was indeed
Only twelve or thirteen years old, in the face of thousands of mob riots, he was able to single-handedly create Longtan, swim out of Linqing Water Gate, and finally enlist the water transport army to put out the mob rebellion. Do you think this is the violent tiger Feng Feng?
He? That’s someone’s foresight and determination to go it alone, even I feel ashamed.”
"Oh?" Yan Mingxiang, the young novice monk in the Gourd Temple in the past, was greatly surprised.
He had heard that his Dong Weng had mentioned that he and Xiao Feng, the current Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, had been friends in times of adversity and forgotten years, but he still had some doubts and even disbelief.
Because according to the calculation of time, it has been almost six years since this Dong Weng took office as the governor of Jinling. So by calculation, it should have been six or seven years ago when he sent Lin Ruhai, the censor of salt patrol in Lianghuai River, to the capital.
And it is said that Xiao Feng Xiuzuan is only twenty years old now, which means that when Linqing encountered the civil uprising, Feng Ziying was only twelve or thirteen years old. How could a twelve or thirteen year old boy have such courage and wisdom?
After Jia Yucun came to Jinling Prefecture to serve as governor, he happened to meet this friend in need in the past, and he also had a kind heart, so he promoted this person from a marginalized disciple step by step to the experience department to serve as a scribe
.
In fact, Yan Mingxiang now plays the role of a staff member of Jia Yucun. Because of this connection and his true loyalty, he relies heavily on him.
Jia Yucun often mentioned his past interactions with Feng Ziying to Yan Mingxiang, and even mentioned that it was Feng Ziying who took care of him in Beijing and sent him south to Jinling to take up his post with gifts.
"I really didn't expect Xiao Feng Xiuzuan to be so brave and courageous. It is really a tiger father with no dogs and a talented general who can achieve such a feat." Yan Mingxiang also had to admit that a boy of 12 or 13 years old could do such a thing. It would be difficult to single out one from thousands of miles away.
, no wonder he was able to rise to prominence later on, but this also depends on the fact that the other party attended Qingtan Academy and became famous in the imperial examination.
"Humph, do you know who he was when he went to ask for help from the water transport army? Who was the governor of the water transport at that time, who was the patrol censor, and who was the general officer of the water transport?"
Jia Yucun glanced at the other party in a show-off manner. Seeing that the other party shook his head repeatedly and had a curious expression on his face, he calmly cleared his throat and continued.
"The governor-general of water transport at that time was the current Duke Lao Daofu (Li Sancai), the censor of patrol at that time was Duke Qiao, the current censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the chief military officer of water transport was Chen Jingxuan, the former governor-general of the three sides.
Mr. Daofu, Mr. Qiao and Chen Jingxuan all benefited from this, and Mr. Qiao admired him very much, so he recommended him to Qingtan Academy to study, and this was how he had good fortune in the future."
"So, Mr. Feng really benefited from the Linqing Civil War. You are Mr. Feng's friend in times of need, and you can also be regarded as Mr. Feng's noble person." Yan Mingxiang laughed, with a small smile on his thin lips.
The beard is also curled up.
"I don't dare to be a noble person, but it is true that Ziying did benefit from this matter. At that time, Duke Qiao thought highly of him and recommended him to study at Qingtan Academy. Today, Qi Ge Laohe and Shangshu Dongxian Gong
Then they were the mountain chief and director of the academy respectively, and this connection was forged."
Jia Yucun couldn't help but feel a little envious as he spoke. Feng Ziying's luck was so good. After catching up with this incident, she made countless noble friends at once.
Of course, people risk their lives for it. Would I dare to swim alone and dive through the Linqing Water Gate?
As long as he was discovered by that group of mobs, a burst of arrows would end his life in hell, and he would never dare to do so.
When Yan Mingxiang heard this, he realized that Qi and Li, the two cabinet elders, and Qiao Yingjia, the second-ranking official in the Imperial Procuratorate, Youdu Yushi, plus Ying Zhen, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce, and Chen Jingxuan, the former governor of the three sides, were really
What's more, Fuze's profound luck has made him unparalleled.
"But if you think Ziying can rise to prominence just by relying on these connections, you are wrong." Glancing at Yan Mingxiang, Jia Yucun added: "The famous strategy of opening up the sea was proposed by Feng Ziying.
It is said that he was not favored by his master Qi Ge at the time, but he was deeply in tune with the emperor's wishes, and he suddenly became brilliant, and the coasts of Fujian and Zhejiang benefited a lot from it. He suppressed the rebellion in Ningxia, went to the grassland alone, and fought alone in Ganzhou. This drama is all over the place.
It is a real achievement; needless to say, in Yongping Mansion, the Qing army managed the government, and then repelled the Mongolian invasion in one fell swoop. A different person would not be able to accomplish these great achievements in thirty years, but he is here
He has established himself in just a few years, do you think he should be a fourth-grade official?"
谷/span> "Yes, it really deserves it, it's well-deserved!" Yan Mingxiang nodded along with Jia Yucun's words and said: "It's reasonable for the adults to be friends with him. After all, heroes cherish heroes."
Yan Mingxiang's words in the play may sound quite vulgar, but they fit Jia Yucun's heart. He couldn't help stroking his beard and nodding, "Ziying serves me as a brother, so naturally I won't treat him poorly."
"But the prince..." Yan Mingxiang took a look at Jia Yucun's face. He knew that it was inappropriate to mention Wang Ziteng's name at this time, but he had to mention it. He was an aide and a mastermind, and he had to say his honest words even if they were harsh to the ears.
Sure enough, Jia Yucun's face suddenly turned from clear to dark, and he did not speak for a while. He was stunned for a long time before slowly saying: "The prince treats me well. It's just that the matter is serious and concerns the life and fortune of Jia's family, so we must be cautious."
"It's just Dong Weng, this matter can't be delayed for much longer. Look at Zhen Gong's attitude today. His words before leaving were all aggressive and left no room for anything." Yan Mingxiang couldn't help smacking his lips.
Dong Weng is good at everything, but his temperament is a bit softer.
Jia Yucun ignored the other party and just shook his head: "No matter what he says, I have a strong balance in my heart. I am a court official. The governor of Jinling only listens to the court and not to the Six Ministries of Nanjing. If they can, they will take me."
Otherwise, I will still have to act according to my ideas before I get the official order from the court."
Yan Mingxiang looked anxious, "Then the Lord has made up his mind to..."
"That's not necessarily the case." Jia Yucun waved his hand, "As you said, they are powerful at the moment, but they have not achieved an absolute advantage. After all, you and I are working on their territory, and we still have to look at their looks and see what they do next.
Which step to take depends on the changes in the situation in the imperial court. But Zixiang, do you think that Jiangnan is extremely wealthy, but the people's hearts are weak and there is no support from the army. The prince's Denglai army in Huguang can support it alone.
What?"
"Aren't there still Niu Gong's Xuanfu Army and Datong Army?" Yan Mingxiang frowned.
"Humph, the Xuanfu Army is really controlled by Niu Jizong, but the Datong Army is the territory of the Feng family. Even Feng Gong no longer serves as the commander-in-chief of Datong, but he first served as the governor of Jiliao, and now he takes over
The governor of the three sides has greater influence on the nine sides. How can the old troops in Datong easily obey Niu Jizong's orders?" Jia Yucun sneered: "This army is no better than the local ones. They talk about the mountain factions openly. Niu Jizong can control Xuan.
Fuzhen, that is also a good foundation laid by the prince for him, otherwise..., hum,..."
"Sir, I don't see it this way. As the saying goes, before the three armies are moved, food and grass go first. You have been in Jinling Mansion for so many years. You should be very clear about where the current needs of the Nine Borders come from. If there is no Jiangnan canal transportation, I'm afraid
Jiubian cannot hold on for a day, and those big-headed soldiers who have breasts are mothers will rebel immediately!" Yan Mingxiang disagreed and argued: "This is not only true for Jiubian, but also for Gyeonggi. Go to Yangzhou and take a look at Beishang
How many canals and civilian ships are there? Even if they are parked for a day, the capital will be shaken. If the canal is interrupted, what do you think..."
"You are right, but if the elites of the nine sides have no food and wages, it will be difficult for the north to support them. Then do you think that if the imperial court gives an order, will the millions of troops from the nine sides share the same hatred of the enemy and move south together?" Jia
Yucun also disagreed, "As long as the court relaxes a little and the generals in charge of the army are giving these big soldiers some benefits, I'm afraid it will be a huge disaster for millions of tigers and wolves to descend to the south of the Yangtze River."
"Sir, Jiangnan is easy to say now, but it is really thousands of miles away. How can a soldier walk to Jiangnan hungry? What's more, Jiangnan is hot and humid. These northern soldiers may not even cross the river.
You have to be acclimatized and you will be defeated without a fight, right?" Yan Mingxiang shook his head repeatedly.
"Then in your opinion, we should have confessed our sincerity to them long ago?" Jia Yucun glanced sideways at the other party.
"That's not necessary. As your Excellency said, it's not the right time yet, but your Excellency must make two preparations. If the situation in the capital is clear, then of course it goes without saying. If the situation is unclear and the pressure here is urgent, what should I do?
How to deal with it?" Yan Mingxiang was also thinking about it, "Even if we have to lose our sincerity, at least we have to have an attitude and statement from the northern court. This is a good way for Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan."
"It seems that you really don't think much of the imperial court." Jia Yucun sighed sadly, "I know you have always thought that the imperial court would not be able to survive half a day away from Jiangnan, but it is not that simple to interrupt the canal, Huaiyang
The town was established very quickly, and the imperial court had long seen this. Even most of the soldiers were brought from the Beijing camp. Once they established a foothold in Xuzhou, they would probably go south to Yangzhou. The general manager of Huaiyang town has not yet been determined.
Isn’t this the reason why the military mansion is stationed?”:.
"So what?" Yan Mingxiang asked back: "The Beijing camp is so weak that it is no longer worth mentioning. Even if it takes a group of people to go south to form Huaiyang Town, I'm afraid this is still not good enough. If the Xuanfu army goes south,
I'm afraid that I can take over Huaiyang Town. Besides, does Huaiyang Town have to obey the orders of the imperial court? Maybe if they see that the situation is not good, they will switch sides. I don't think this nine-sided army is really true.
Can it be controlled by the imperial court?" Provide you with the fastest updates and free reading.:.
