Renzi Scroll Chapter 308: Thinking about Shaozu's doubts

 Feng Ziying told Shen Yixiu that she intended to let Xue Biao go to the Northern Front Army to help handle logistics affairs for Sun Chengzong. Shen Yixiu unexpectedly agreed.

For Shen Yixiu, the Xue family did not have much influence on her. After all, the Xue family was born in the imperial business community and was born inferior. It was difficult to gain recognition among family-oriented scholars. The Xue family wanted to There is nothing wrong with pursuing the path of military success. Besides, Xue Bian was only the second eldest son of the Xue family, and was separated from Xue Baochai by one layer. However, Xue Baochai's biological brother was a delusional person and was not worth mentioning.

"My husband has thought carefully about the second master of the Xue family. Why didn't my husband think about Jun Yong?" Shen Yixiu joked with a smile.

"Why does Junyong need to think about his husband? He was born as a scholar, and if he does his job honestly, he will naturally have a good future." Feng Ziying also didn't care, "But the chaos caused by the Shanshan disaster Fang Chi, the court was very worried, so in the early stage, Da Zhang had been arranged to take Yuxuan, Boya and the others to Shanxi to help the local government organize the military affairs of the garrison. I heard that Jun Yong was very interested in geography and planned to go along the border wall. If you want to take a walk, you can actually take advantage of this opportunity to take a few people for a walk..."

In the history of his previous life, Shen Zizheng was very fond of military geography. He had the idea of ​​​​traveling to the passes and passes of Xiongguan Mountain since he was a child. After passing the Jinshi examination, he came into contact with some affairs of the Zifang Division in the Ministry of War, so his interest in this aspect became even stronger. , I also mentioned this idea to my sister and brother-in-law when I came to Feng Mansion.

Shen Yixiu was a little hesitant: "Ms. sir, Shanshan and Shaanxi are in chaos, and the court is unable to deal with it. Is it dangerous for Jun Yong to go there?"

Feng Ziying also considered this, "If Jun Yong really has this idea, he might as well start from Jizhen, such as Shanhaiguan all the way to the west, Xuanfu, and Datong. There is no serious problem. There is a father over there in Yulin." It’s not a big problem to say hello, and there’s even less problem with Gan Ning.”

Seeing that her husband was sure, Shen Yixiu felt at ease: "Then I'll talk to Jun Yong and see what his wishes are. However, I'm afraid this Shanshan-Shaanxi bandit chaos won't be settled for a while. The idea is that if he really wants to travel, it would be more appropriate to go to Liaodong."

"It's okay to go to Liaodong. The weather is just right, so I traveled to Jizhen and Liaodong together. There are many military groups along the way. I inspected the dangerous areas of Jiliao and made preparations for dealing with the Jurchens and Chahar people in Jianzhou. The article will also allow Jun Yong to come up with a good investigative article when he is finished observing the government in the future, which is far better than just hanging around in the court."

Feng Ziying put forward some new suggestions to the cabinet about Jinshi's observation of politics. He suggested that Jinshi who should observe politics should not gather in the seven ministries of the DPRK and Central Government, but should consider going deep into some specific affairs, or go to the lower counties and counties for on-the-spot experience.

At the very least, the three-year government observation period cannot be all spent in the Seven Ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Perhaps you can consider one year in the Seven Ministries of the DPRK and Central Government to observe the government, one year to go to the state capital for experience, and one year to assist in specific matters, so that Jinshi can get more comprehensive training and tempering, quickly get rid of their status as scholars and students, and enter the state of officials.

This suggestion also caused great controversy in the DPRK and China.

The purpose of establishing the three-year political watch period was to allow these scholars who had just obtained official qualifications to adapt quickly. However, in fact, many of these scholars could not stay in the court after the political watch period ended, and most of them had to go to other places.

Go up, and the experience in the Seventh Department does not allow them to familiarize themselves with the affairs of the grassroots prefectures and counties. After going there, there is a long adaptation period, and considering that they will become officials after they go down, it is difficult to quickly

Therefore, it will also affect the work of local states and counties. Feng Ziying’s suggestion still won the approval of many people.

Opponents are worried that this kind of local government observation will fade the halo of Jinshi's observation of politics, and Jinshi will also be resistant. However, Feng Ziying also pointed out that since it is to observe politics, no matter where you go to observe politics or what affairs you are engaged in,

They are all manifestations of the will of the imperial court and represent the imperial court's observation of politics. They do not affect the significance of observing politics, but can play a better role.

After some debate, the court gradually tended to support Feng Ziying's suggestion. However, due to the current development of the situation, there was not much energy to promote this matter. However, Zheng Chongjian, Chen Qiyu and Sun Chuanting had already gone to Shanxi as a pilot project.

The army has been organized.

With the pilot, and if it can achieve results, especially if the imperial court can give higher rewards to those Jinshi who work at the lower level, then the resistance faced by this kind of grassroots government observation will disappear, and it may even disappear.

Jinshi will be encouraged to actively go to the grassroots level.

**********

Pushing open the window, the cool breeze blowing in his face caused the hair on his forehead to ripple slightly, and his face felt a little chilly. Sun Shaozu took a few deep breaths, which relieved the depression in his heart a little.

The situation cannot be said to be bad.

After Shanxi Town was defeated, the situation on the entire northern line was greatly alleviated. That coward You Shilu immediately pushed to the north of Dongguang, and then began to stand firm and assume a defensive posture.

This was faster than a rabbit, and Sun Shaozu, who originally had some ideas, could only sigh in despair.

However, after Sun Chengzong returned to the north, bad news came one after another, making Sun Shaozu increasingly irritable.

Who is Sun Chengzong? How could Sun Shaozu not understand? This civil servant who has always been known for his knowledge of soldiers in the Ministry of War is also famous among a group of arrogant generals. People like Li Chengliang and Ma Gui have to raise their heads.

thumb.

Although this person had been in Sichuan for more than a year and had little reputation and had done nothing, it seemed that he was not worthy of his reputation, but Sun Shaozu did not believe it.

That's why he sent people to inquire about what Sun Chengzong was doing in Sichuan, and the result was not what he expected. Sun Chengzong failed to seize the military power of Jingxiang Town, and Yang He, the censor prime minister from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, failed to seize the military power of Jingxiang Town.

Although his qualifications were relatively weak, he successfully reorganized the Sichuan Guard troops in Sichuan into a battle-worthy army, laying a good foundation for Xiong Tingbi to take over.

Now Yang Yinglong's native troops in Bozhou are firmly backlogged in the Bozhou Mountains by Xiong Tingbi. The Sichuan Guards are fighting steadily and have taken the initiative. If Wang Ziteng hadn't realized that the situation was not good and started to toss in Huguang, holding back Jingxiang's army, Yang Yinglong would have already taken the initiative.

He was captured without hesitation, but even so, according to Sun Shaozu's judgment, it would only be a matter of time before Yang Yinglong was finished. It would be good if it could be delayed until the end of this year.

This also made Sun Shaozu feel a touch of chill coming from the southwest.

If Yang Yinglong is eliminated, Xiong Tingbi is free to mobilize the power of Jingxiang Town and the Sichuan Guards to launch an offensive in Huguang. Can Wang Ziteng be able to withstand it?

In Sun Shaozu's view, although Denglai Town can indeed be defeated, the key is that the Huguang gentry is on the side of the imperial court. Without the support of the local gentry, what is the point of only being able to control a few cities?

The role of Huguang lies in its food and manpower. Without the support of local gentry, all this is vain.

He once suggested to Niu Jizong that Prince Yi Zhong should win over the Huguang gentry as much as possible, and at least keep Huguang neutral. But now it seems that Nanjing may not pay enough attention to it, or the alliance between the Huguang gentry and the Beidi gentry is too great.

If it is too strong, it will be difficult for Nanjing to break the alliance between them.

If Wang Ziteng cannot withstand Xiong Tingbi's counterattack and loses Huguang, Jiangxi will be exposed to Xiong Tingbi's blade. And now, due to internal strife within the local government, will Guangdong and Guangxi, which are still barely maintaining neutrality, remain neutral?

Will he completely fall to the imperial court? Sun Shaozu is not optimistic about it.

This is a bit far-fetched, the key is how to deal with the situation at hand.

Sun Chengzong is indeed a veteran, and I don't know who in the court came up with the idea, but he even managed to organize a northern army for him. The tens of thousands of people in Jizhen were not surprised, but Feng Tang was actually willing to send the Northwest Army together.

This was unexpected. Feng Tang had worked so hard to organize it. He took it to the Central Plains without fighting a single battle and then handed it over to Sun Chengzong. Is this guy willing?

Sun Shaozu knew the mentality of the border generals very well. He would never hand over an army that came into his hands to someone else, unless he was promoted in a different place and could not take it away with him. Otherwise, he would never hand it over to someone else, and he would hand it over to a civil servant.

Feng Tang was from a family of border town generals. How could he not understand the reason and still hand over Liu Baichuan's work? This made Sun Shaozu feel the murderous intention of the other party.

He realized that the war on the southern front might not be as urgent as he expected, and the court was planning to teach him a lesson on the northern front, so he reported his concerns to Niu Jizong, but Niu Jizong did not agree with his judgment.

This made Sun Shaozu very depressed.

Niu Jizong's point of view is that although Sun Shaozu is very capable, it is difficult for the army he has put together to form a decent offensive. The north relies on Dezhou Jiancheng and Lingxian, and the power of Guxian is enough to wear down the enemy in the north.

, as for the southern line of Dongchang Prefecture, between Linqing and Dongchang Prefecture, we can also rely on the advantages of the canal to maneuver, but Sun Chengzong did not dare to go too deep.

As for the remaining 10,000 to 20,000 Beijing camp troops and Shanxi troops who were defeated, in Niu Jizong's view, they were just a make-up. If they were really allowed to go into battle, they would only drag down the Northwest Army and Jizhen Army.

Niu Jizong's view has some truth, but it is too absolute. This is Sun Shaozu's view, but it is difficult for him to judge how Sun Chengzong plans to fight this battle.

Withdrawing his hand from the window frame, Sun Shaozu walked back to the inner hall again. His eyes fell on the map hanging on the curtain. He was sure of Texas, but Dongchang Mansion had to face the offensive of the Northwest Army.

Now that Qiu County has been captured by Liu Baichuan, the two armies are fighting fiercely on the Guantao front line, but the scale is not large. This also makes him a little confused. Liu Baichuan has not used his full strength yet. What is he waiting for?
