Chapter 2048 Gui Zi Scroll The water is clear and there are no fish, it is harmonious but different
Feng Ziying's eyes lit up, and he recognized Yang Yuanxian's voiceover.
Zheng Chongjian, Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu came to Shanxi Point to inspect the Guards early and conduct training, but Feng Ziying did not know where they were now.
Judging from the tone, if Zheng Chongjian and others were smart, they should choose to conduct training in the western prefectures and counties of Taiyuan Prefecture, such as Baodou, Linxian and Yongning Prefecture.
In the past, the Shanxi Guard Army was mainly reorganized in the central and northern parts. After all, it is close to Shanxi and the Second Town of Datong. However, this time when facing the rebel army coming from the east, the situation is different. It is necessary to build a guard in the west that can be used at any time. The army and the people strengthen their ranks.
"Mr. Yang, in Ziying's humble opinion, I'm afraid the land of Jin needs to make plans early. We can't just see what's in front of us, and we can't stick to one place." Feng Ziying was not polite and said directly.
Yang Yuan is the commander-in-chief of Datong, but he is the governor of Shaanxi. In theory, he can even intervene in the military affairs of the three sides and four towns. The powers and responsibilities of his father's governor-general of the three sides have some overlap. This is why the court may soon be exempted. It’s because of my father’s position as Governor-General of the Three Kingdoms.
"Master Feng's opinion...?" Yang Yuan frowned. Feng Ziying seemed to believe that the Shaanxi rebel army was coming west?
"Because when I left the capital, I had not yet heard the news of the fall of Hancheng. The imperial court's view of the situation in Shaanxi was still a month or even two months ago. The Shaanxi Provincial Envoy, the Provincial Envoy, the Provincial Envoy, and the Dusi did not report to the imperial court. The information report is detailed enough, and I am very worried that the situation is even worse than what Mr. Yang and the other gentlemen here know..."
It has been the norm for dynasties to report good news but not bad news. This is especially true for local governments towards the imperial court. However, once a certain critical point is exceeded, they will deviate from their previous behavior and exaggerate to shirk their own subjective responsibilities. In the end, they will create all kinds of perceptions for the central government. Be aware of misjudgment and confusion.
"Once the situation in Shaanxi cannot be controlled, or the troops from Yulin and Guyuan Town intervene, then the rebels will be oppressed by them and may choose to cross the Yellow River eastward to survive. I don't know what the disaster situation is in the west of Taiyuan Prefecture and Pingyang Prefecture, but I think if Shaanxi is arid, even if it is separated by a river, the situation may not be much better. Maybe it is just a spark. Once the rebel troops from the west cross the river, they may destroy Pingyang and Taiyuan. Chaos ignited,..."
Feng Ziying was not alarmist, but bluntly raised this possibility. He wanted everyone present to understand the danger of the situation, and not to carelessly pose as if it had nothing to do with him. When the flames of war really burned, the local government also Okay, no matter if it's a border town, don't even think about running away.
Yang Yuan nodded thoughtfully: "What Mr. Feng said is true. We should be vigilant. If we really let these rebels cross the Yellow River, the situation will be really troublesome. Our Datong Army is now rebuilding step by step. Look, It seems that we need to speed up, just in case,..."
What Yang Yuan said was very pertinent, and Feng Ziying felt that his reminder did not seem to touch Yang Yuan that much, which surprised him.
But in this situation he couldn't say much.
He is the governor of Shaanxi, not the governor of Shanxi, and the additional title has no influence here. It stands to reason that Yang Yuan is also experienced in military affairs, so he should understand the priorities.
The first half of the reception banquet was interesting, but the second half lost some interest. Fortunately, everyone was a part of the occasion, and it passed by drinking and drinking.
Feng Ziying can also understand.
Yang Yuancai had arrived not long ago, and the Feng family and even the Duan family had unusual influence in Datong. Even if he wanted to support himself, he still had to consider how to strike a balance.
You can't appear indifferent, and you can't be too dominant. It's not easy to be the commander-in-chief.
Back at home, Feng Ziying was still drinking tea to sober up and sort out her thoughts, but she heard Ruixiang coming to report and Cui Chengxiu coming to visit.
Feng Ziying was slightly surprised but did not hesitate and asked Ruixiang to bring Cui Chengxiu to the flower hall to entertain the guests.
I didn't expect this guy to be so impatient. He seemed to really think highly of himself. It matched the rumored ability of this guy to watch the wind and judge the situation. In this regard, he was somewhat similar to Jia Yucun in the south.
Before Feng Ziying left the capital, she received several letters from Jia Yucun. Especially after Linqing was captured and the situation in Shandong reversed, Jia Yucun's letters became more frequent.
Of course, Feng Ziying would not treat the other party coldly.
Sooner or later, Jiangnan will be taken back. This guy is in such an embarrassing position as the governor of Jinling, but he is still able to get along like a fish in water, and is recognized by all parties. He still has some skills, and he will be of great use in the future.
Since this guy is writing to himself, he will definitely not just follow his own line. No, it can't be considered his own line, but the line of Qi Yongtai - the northern scholar represented by Qiao Yingjia. It is estimated that Ye
Xiang Gao and Fang Congzhe must have the same connections.
It seems that this Cui Chengxiu is not bad at this aspect. Feng Ziying doesn't care about the five eunuchs, as long as he can be used for himself.
He himself has some abilities, why can't he be won over? Not to mention that he is originally a scholar from the North.
Feng Ziying greeted Cui Chengxiu in the flower hall.
Cui Chengxiu came from afar and bowed with his hands. Feng Ziying quickly returned the gift.
"Master Feng."
"Master Cui."
After some pleasantries, they naturally sat down hand in hand.
Everyone was well aware of each other's situation. Cui Chengxiu came to befriend them, and Feng Ziying also intended to win over them. Naturally, they had a very happy conversation.
Cui Chengxiu was also a Jinshi. He was able to become the prefect of a large government like Datong in his early thirties, so he was certainly not an ordinary person.
This is the first time for Feng Ziying to meet the leader of the Five Tigers of the Eunuch Party. Of course, at this time and space, he is also a "quite motivated" Northland scholar, and is actively using his performance to win the recognition of the big shots in the DPRK and China.
, in order to get to the next level.
While Feng Ziying was observing the other party carefully, Cui Chengxiu was also carefully trying to figure out Feng Ziying.
He has long been familiar with Feng Ziying's legendary story. The success of such a character is no accident.
The topic naturally started with the current situation of Datong.
Feng Ziying mostly listened, Cui Chengxiu mostly asked.
Most of the time, Feng Ziying listened without answering, while Cui Chengxiu mostly asked questions without answering, or asked and answered by himself, just to express an attitude.
The situation in Datong is just like that. The drought is serious, but it is not the worst in Shanxi. The social security situation has also deteriorated. There are cases of refugees gathering and many people entering the mountains as bandits, but they have not formed large-scale gatherings. This is the only
It's reassuring.
With Datong Town in charge and Datong Prefecture relying on them to maintain public security, there was no problem of fighting.
The conversation lasted less than half an hour before Cui Chengxiu said goodbye and left.
This can be regarded as the initial contact between the two, and both expressed goodwill. Even Cui Chengxiu also expressed his recognition and support for the Feng family and the Duan family. The general meaning is that the distant descendants of the Feng and Duan families can also enter the mansion if necessary.
In the county government office.
This is actually a disguised exchange. I let your people join the government as officials, but you have to support the government in doing things.
Of course, Feng Ziying would like to express her gratitude for this gesture of goodwill.
It turns out that the influence of the Feng and Duan families is mainly concentrated in the military, that is, in Datong Town. It must also have some penetration into the local area. However, due to the lack of scholars, or the lack of children who came from the imperial examination, it is difficult to gain influence in the local government.
Although it has been officially registered, its influence is relatively weak.
Although Feng Ziying passed the imperial examination and became an official, the problem is that she is far away from the court, so being alone will not help.
After sending Cui Chengxiu away, Feng Ziying returned to the back house and found out that Cui Chengxiu was not only here, but his wife and concubines also came to the back house for a visit. Baoqin, Miaoyu and Xiuyan also received them.
Unexpectedly, Cui Chengxiu's work was so meticulous and precise. His wife gave Bao Qin a good impression, and also gave Bao Qin four newly bought maids, saying that they could help with some things after considering the shortage of manpower in Shaanxi.
Feng Ziying couldn't help but frown, put her hand on the armrest of the chair, and said thoughtfully: "Baoqin, Miaoyu, Xiuyan, what do you think?"
When we met for the first time, I sent a maid as a maid. I felt bad, but I couldn't explain why.
These days, not to mention it is normal to send maids and maids away, even among colleagues who have a close relationship, there are also many who send concubines out.
But even if he and Cui Chengxiu had a connection like Qi Yongtai, it was their first meeting and they had no friendship. What was the point of sending four maids?
Bao Qin also felt that Feng Ziying seemed a little unhappy with the maid he sent this time, and was a little anxious in his heart. He quickly asked: "Ms. sir, if it's not right, please go back. I, sister Miaoyu and Xiuyan
My sister also thought that my husband had mentioned before that Mr. Cui and my husband should be northern scholars, and they also have some connections. They were officials in Xianggong's hometown, and they were showing favor. If we refused, it would be a bit unkind..."
Feng Ziying didn't know what to say. Cui Chengxiu's show of goodwill was a bit too explicit. He was afraid that the matter of sending the maid would soon become known to the public. Perhaps this guy wanted to prove something in this way.
But it’s not good to refuse, as it may make Cui Chengxiu have other thoughts.
This kind of person is very capable of getting things done, but if he wants to do harm to you, he will be even more powerful. He is narrow-minded and really difficult to deal with.
Seeing that Feng Ziying was silent, Xiuyan hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, why don't you give me some gifts in return? I heard that Mr. Cui likes horses, so I chose one or two good horses as gifts in return. I will make excuses both internally and externally."
Feng Ziying nodded slightly and turned her eyes to Ping'er who was standing aside. "Ping'er, go and tell Uncle You to go to Duan's horse farm on the outskirts of the city to choose two horses and let Uncle You deliver them to Cui Mansion in person, but there is no need to make any announcement."
Ping'er nodded and silently wrote down the instructions.
"I don't blame you for this, but Cui Chengxiu did a poor job. He is too caring, but he is a person with some abilities, so I am hesitant." Feng Ziying thought for a while: "Those four maids
Is it from his house?"
"No, they should be specially bought." Bao Qin shook his head: "I have seen them, and they seem to be from Hunyuan Prefecture. They are both good-looking and well-mannered. I asked them and they were all only fifteen or sixteen years old.
But he was sold since he was a child and was raised in a mansion, where he learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting..."
