Chapter 2219 Gui Zi Scroll: The fangs are revealed, and the classical Chinese is intimate
Feng Ziying has continued to use this method to preach and instill in her colleagues and subordinates around her throughout the year, in order to pass on her new ideas as much as possible to these groups that are most receptive to these views.
Regardless of whether they are active or passive, whether they can understand and accept it now or cannot understand and accept it, letting them have an impression and concept in their minds first can be a warm-up for promoting the implementation of these concepts one day in the future.
Of course, when Feng Ziying carries out propaganda and indoctrination, she also chooses people, places and times, and is more particular about her methods. When communicating with people like Zhao Nanxing and Li Tengfang, she mostly takes advantage of the situation to bring out these topics and viewpoints for discussion.
, by the way, he used some of his practices in Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion as evidence, in order to persuade them to the maximum extent.
As for his subordinates, it is more of a popular propaganda. After all, such a group is much larger, and he does not have so much energy and time to talk about it one by one.
But there is another big weapon that will play a greater role, and that is the Northwest Times.
As the "Northwest Times" begins to be printed and sent to the desks of various stores, it can be said that the first people in the entire Shaanxi Province to be affected by the public opinion of the "Northwest Times" will be the "high-end group" with no more than a thousand people, or the elites of Shaanxi Province
The crowd, officials, gentry and some big businessmen were all included in the Northwest Times.
In the early days, Feng Ziying would not mix too much with these views and concepts of her own. Instead, she would use news information and various newspaper-style content to strengthen her authority. After two or three months, everyone subconsciously accepted "
After the content published in the Northwest Times is reliable and trustworthy, he will gradually combine some of his views with his actual work and publish them to influence everyone's thinking.
This will definitely be a long process, but as long as there is a good start, Feng Ziying believes that Shaanxi, a remote inland province, may be able to get out of poverty and backwardness faster.
Just when the situation in Shaanxi is improving, the situation in neighboring Shanxi is experiencing twists and turns and ups and downs.
From the beginning of March, the rebel army formed two major groups. One was the rebel army led by Prince Taipu of Zijin Liang who entered the Jin Dynasty early. After accepting the troops of Mang Zhangfei and Xing Honglang who fled into the Jin Dynasty in the later period, they became more powerful.
Zhang successively launched efforts in the counties in the central part of Pingyang Prefecture, captured many prefectures and counties, and began to assume a northward posture in April, forcing the southern part of Shanxi Town to retreat.
On April 29, Zijin Liang used its main force to attract Shanxi Town's frontier troops, and then used a large force to bypass Sandeng Mountain with Zhang Cunhou and Xing Honglang's troops, cutting off the Shanxi Town frontier troops' back route from the rear. The frontier troops were disheartened and abandoned Xiangling to flee.
Go to Linfen.
Prince Taipu of Zijin Liang led the main force of the rebel army to attack Linfen under the guidance of the surrendered frontier army. Some officers of the border army were persuaded by the surrendered frontier army and cooperated internally and externally. Linfen fell on the third day of May, and all the remaining frontier troops surrendered.
Zijin beam.
On the tenth day of the fifth month, the rebellious army of the Eight-clawed Dragon Xu Cong'er captured Hongdong. On the fifteenth day of the fifth month, they marched to Zhaocheng and on the twenty-second day they marched to Huozhou.
On the other hand, Mang Zhangfei's troops captured Yueyang on the Jianshui River and approached Qinyuan County in Qinzhou, causing a shock in central Shanxi.
At the same time, Qiu Zixiong's movements were much slower and they stayed on the bank of the Yellow River for training.
It was not until the Zijin Liang tribe captured Xiangling that Qiu Zixiong felt that prolonging the situation would be even more detrimental to him, so he led his army north to occupy Xiangning, and on May 17th, he occupied Jizhou.
"Now the rebellion in southern Shanxi has put the court in a dilemma." Feng Ziying also felt embarrassed when she received Qiu Zixiong's letter.
Sun Chengzong's army was already north of Shanhaiguan. The army that was originally a counter-rebellion force moving south from Shanxi Town was surrounded and defeated. It even surrendered to the rebel army and became the backbone of the rebel army. This is the most unacceptable
of.
I can't blame Chai Guozhu for this. Su Shengdu's defeat in the Shandong War directly ruined more than 50,000 elites in Shanxi Town. When Chai Guozhu first left, Su Shengdu, as the senior deputy commander, was bent on serving himself through the Shandong War.
In order to get a good result so that he could be promoted to the General Soldier smoothly in the next step, he brought almost all the elites of Shanxi Town out. However, Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu seized the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop, which directly damaged the vitality of Shanxi Town.
Then Chai Guozhu, in order to quickly restore the mountain,
Xizhen's vitality had to be supplemented by the deployment of troops from various garrison posts in Shanxi.
However, Shanxi Dusi's garrison is either in northern Shanxi, under the control of Datong Town and Shanxi Town, and is in name only, or the combat effectiveness in the central and southern Shanxi areas is not strong, and the number cannot be increased at once
To make up for the army of more than 50,000, Chai Guozhu could only draw part from the guards and fill part from the people.
This directly leads to the uneven combat effectiveness of Shanxi Town.
It turns out that the remaining Shanxi Town old troops are basically still stationed at Piantou Pass, Laoyingbao, Baodezhou, Zhenxiwei and Ningwuguan. They have to deal with the Tumuts, so those who were sent south to quell the rebels were all last year.
The new frontier army, which was just recruited from the guards and minzhuang, was far from comparable to the original old frontier army in terms of combat effectiveness.
After gaining a small victory in the early stage, this part underestimated the enemy a little and felt that the rebel army was inferior. Then they were caught off guard by the main force of the Zijin Liang army and were defeated thousands of miles away.
The retreat of this frontier army even directly brought down the Pingyang Guards, which still had a certain fighting capacity. In the battle of Linfen, the frontier troops collapsed first, but the Pingyang Guards persisted for a day, but faced with the arrogant rebel army.
, the Pingyang Guards had their will taken away, so they did not survive the disaster in the end.
Once Linfen was lost, the entire Pingyang Prefecture was basically hopeless. Hongdong, Zhaocheng, and Huozhou were all destroyed in one fell swoop. Only Yindiguan, which was at the chokepoint to the north, was still stationed by the original Pingyang Guards, so it was chaotic.
The army has not yet taken advantage of the situation to move north, but the number of that army is too small. There are only more than 600 people. Facing tens of thousands of rebel troops, it is only a drop in the bucket and it is difficult to hold on.
"Qiu Zixiong is indeed in a bit of a dilemma. Now all the ministries below hope to go north, seize Daning, Pu County, and Xizhou, control the line along the Yellow River, and keep pace with the Zijin Liang tribe." Wang Wenyan also smiled bitterly, "Now Qiu Zixiong and the others
It is also impossible to attack eastward. The rebel army below will definitely refuse to agree and cause chaos, because that is too unreasonable."
Indeed, King Taipu of Zijin Liang specially sent people to Qiu Zixiong, asking for coordination to attack the official army together. But now you are going to sneak attack the allied forces, and they are hundreds of miles away.
It is unjustifiable to ignore the prefectures and counties in front of you and go to fight against the Allies instead. That's why Qiu Zixiong was in a dilemma. He didn't know what to do, so he wrote to ask for advice.
"Well, I also know that this is unreasonable. Doing this will plunge the entire Baitang Village into chaos." Feng Ziying also found it difficult." Bai Jiuer's part was basically preserved relatively intact and joined Baitang Village, and also
I have helped Qiu Zixiong absorb many other rebel armies along the way to join Baitang Village, and their strength is quite impressive."
Qiu Zixiong's men and horses now seem to be strong, but the internal structural system is not tight.
"According to Qiu Zixiong, his entire army now has more than 20,000 troops. Among them, his most elite old Baitangzhai tribe actually only had about 3,000 people at the beginning. Later, they continued to absorb them, and they probably expanded to more than 5,000 and close to 6,000.
people, and then through two rounds of mergers, it reached 12,000 people. These 12,000 people could barely be regarded as his old troops, which were relatively stable, but later Bai Jiuer and some other small groups of rebels had about 10,000 people.
The left and right were merged in, and after reorganization, we now have a force of over 20,000. In this way, Bai Jiuer and the rebels who joined later still account for more than 30%, which should not be underestimated. "
Wang Wenyan nodded in agreement, "Qiu Zixiong made the decision to keep a distance from the Zijin Liang Department and not merge. There should be no problem. The issue of dominance is not easy to solve, but we are all rebels. Even if we don't merge, it can at least be considered an alliance.
Even if the armies do not cooperate and support each other, at least they will not be at war with each other. If Qiu Zixiong makes the decision to attack the Zijin Liang tribe, it will definitely trigger opposition from the Bai Jiuer tribe and other rebel armies. Even if he originally
Some of the rebel armies involved in the annexation may also become disloyal.
"What do you think Qiu Zixiong should do about Wenyan?" Feng Ziying rubbed her chin thoughtfully.
"You can let them go north to capture Daning, Pu County, and Xizhou, and then attack Fenzhou and Yongning Prefecture!"
Wang Wenyan's words surprised Feng Ziying. He looked at Wang Wenyan and asked suspiciously: "Wenyan, why did you become so radical all of a sudden? We captured Fenzhou and also attacked Yongning Prefecture. All of these have led to the defeat of Taipei."
Yuanfu, do you really think Chai Guozhu’s clay sculptures and wood carvings in Shanxi are indifferent to this?"
"Then what do you think Qiu Zixiong should do? No matter what he does, it can't be justified, so he simply needs to be bolder and seek opportunities." Wang Wenyan didn't care, "Of course, before that, Qiu Zixiong must make an agreement with Zijin Liang, and let Zijin
The Liang tribe attacks eastward and hits Qinzhou and Lu'an. In this way, the two armies are advancing against each other and developing separately, which can be regarded as a competition."
Feng Ziying laughed, "Wen Yan, your suggestion sounds too outrageous, but I think you will definitely give me a reasonable reason. Letting Qiu Zixiong do this is definitely not in line with our original assumptions."
"Sir, do you think Zijin Liang will be successful if it continues to develop like this?" Wang Wenyan asked in return.
Feng Ziying thought for a moment and shook her head: "It's impossible. As long as the elite of the Datong Army goes south, Wang Taipu has no chance. He is just taking advantage of the emptiness in southern Shanxi to gain power."
"What about the current situation in Shanxi Town?" Wang Wenyan asked again: "As far as I know, the governor served as the general soldier in Yulin and the governor in the three sides. The Feng family has deep roots in Datong Town and served as the general soldier in Liaodong.
He also serves as the governor of Jiliao, but his influence is weak in Shanxi Town. What if he is allowed to return to Shanxi Town at the right time? Can Qiu Zixiong win the position of deputy commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town? "
