Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 709: The wind suddenly blows, how to deal with it
The knocking on the door woke Feng Ziying from her sleep.
Daiyu beside her was more alert. She woke up when someone spoke outside the door, but she just put her face on her husband's shoulder and remained silent.
Last night's drink made Feng Ziying a little wilder. First, he wreaked havoc on Daiyu, and then he also dragged Zijuan in, who was only on duty at night, and then went to sleep.
Although Daiyu and Zijuan have long been in love with each other as sisters, it is still rare for them to have three good friends in one bed.
However, Daiyu looked at Qingwen, Yunshang and Jinchuan'er who were all pregnant, and was still a little worried about Zijuan and "fighting against the injustice", so she turned a blind eye at this time, and Feng Ziying was chatting with her on the bed outside.
After Zijuan had changed, she came back to sleep with Zijuan in her arms.
Zijuan got out of bed with her clothes on, put on her shoes and went out. The little maid said a few words to Zijuan outside the door, and then Zijuan came into the house again.
Feng Ziying lay on the bed and did not get up.
He didn't think there could be an emergency military incident in Liaodong that would make him wake up in the middle of the night.
Most of the more than 20,000 Jurchen soldiers in Jianzhou have been demobilized. A small number of them refused to return to their hometowns but kept asking to join the Zhou army to continue serving as soldiers. Feng Ziying of course happily accepted it and directly dispersed it and incorporated it into the Jizhen Army and Denglai Army.
, in the Datong Army, and these three armies have returned to their respective stations one after another.
This made Chu Ying, He Heli and others very disappointed and a little depressed. Although most of the soldiers were still staying in Liaodong, it was difficult for these scattered soldiers who had lost their organization to pose any threat.
What's more, after returning to their hometown for a while, they will find that they are no longer adaptable to the original life. Serving as soldiers and eating food is their only choice. Soon, a new round of recruiting soldiers in Liaodong will begin again. Most of these people
In the end, they will voluntarily re-enter the army, but it will no longer be the Jianzhou Army, but the border town soldiers of Liaodong, Dongjiang, and Xuanfu.
Now that the hidden danger of the Jianzhou Jurchens has been eliminated, who else can bring a threat worthy of getting up late at night in the land of Liaodong? Feng Ziying can't think of one.
Jurchens from the East China Sea, Koreans, or Mongols?
Neither is possible.
The only possibility is the news from Beijing, but the news from Beijing is too far for Liaodong. If I know it two hours earlier and two hours later, it will have little impact.
Out of reach.
Zijuan came in holding a candlestick and a letter in her hand, which must have been specially sent.
Under the candlelight, Zijuan's half-naked neck and chest looked jade-colored and warm, and her two bulges were faintly visible under her thin underwear. Daiyu pressed one hand on the quilt on her chest while asking in a sweet voice: "Where did the letter come from?
"
"It's from the capital city, Mr. Wang sent it. Third Master Huan was on duty at the front and thought it couldn't be delayed, so he sent it here." The governor's office also took turns keeping watch, including Zheng Chongjian, Yang Sichang, Jia Huan and Wu Yaoqing.
Taking turns on duty at night, they are all officials of the Governor's Mansion. Once there is an emergency, they will handle it quickly and report it to Feng Ziying.
Jia Huan is on duty today. He may have seen a letter from Wang Wenyan and it was delivered at midnight. He thought it must be very important, so he handed it in directly.
"Oh?" Feng Ziying was slightly startled and sat up. Daiyu took a pillow for him, and Feng Ziying leaned on the bedside and started to read.
The content of the letter is not much, and you can quickly read everything at a glance.
But Feng Ziying was in a bad mood.
None of this is good news.
Wang Wenyan felt that there had been less and less news from Long Jinwei recently, and Lu Song was acting a bit unpredictable and suspicious.
Niu Jizong was a little active, but Wang Ziteng couldn't tell it yet.
In addition, the Xuanfu Army has been conducting frequent drills recently, and the commander-in-chief Liu Qing is very brilliant.
Xiao Ruxun is also very active and wants to take over as the governor of the Beijing camp. It is said that he has received strong support from Li Sancai. The attitude of Sun Chengzong, the Minister of War, is also unclear, but the cabinet has not yet reached a consensus.
Long Jinwei's attitude has changed somewhat. This is an abnormal situation that makes people worried. I don't know if Master Qi and the others have noticed it.
The change in attitude means that there are signs of alienation in the honeymoon cooperation between Long Jinwei and the cabinet. This may be due to the cabinet, but it is more likely to be due to Emperor Wan Tong.
Feng Ziying is worried about the latter.
After lying dormant for several years and experiencing a heavy blow, Emperor Wan Tong should have become more cunning and cautious, but that doesn't mean his ambitions have faded.
Maybe the resentment in my heart is getting heavier and heavier, and my desire to take back my power is getting stronger and stronger. It would be the same if I changed myself.
Long Jinwei is naturally incompatible with the cabinet. Similarly, civil servants also look down on Long Jinwei, a role similar to the royal eagle dog. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some discord during these two contacts, especially if he does not mediate between them. I am afraid that both parties will
There are more contradictions.
Emperor Wan Tong used Gu Cheng before, so Lu Song had no choice. It is not clear what other actions Emperor Wan Tong will take now. Will he win over Lu Song and make him move?
Niu Jizong and Wang Ziteng were persuaded by themselves to lay down their weapons, but that didn't mean that they were truly convinced. The influence and interests of these military officials were greatly squeezed and damaged due to the power of civil servants. No one was so silent.
I accepted it, and if given the chance, I might not jump out.
Of course, judging from the current situation, it seems that it is not enough for the two Ox Kings to come forward so hastily.
Liu Ting, Xiao Ruxun.
The former unexpectedly replaced Ma Chengxun as the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu. Li Sancai should have contributed here. In addition, some of his father and father-in-law's original connections also played a role. His father was a martial arts graduate and a famous anti-Japanese general.
During the Yuanxi period, he served as the crown prince's Taibao, and his father-in-law Zhang Hao was a famous scholar in Jiangxi and had friendship with Shen Yiguan and Ye Xianggao.
Xiao Ruxun took Li Sancai's route and returned to the capital from the northwest. However, he was very dissatisfied with the position of deputy envoy of Jiedushi in Beijing. He had been seeking to take over as Jiedushi, but the position of Jiedushi was not that of Li Sancai.
One person can have the final say.
The combination of several situations made Feng Ziying a little wary.
Liu Yaobing, what does this mean? To prove that he has controlled the Xuanfu army, and that the Xuanfu army has become stronger again? Is it necessary at this time?
It makes sense for Xiao Ruxun to seek the Jiedushi Envoy. King Zhonghui is no longer in the position. Ma Chengxun is the general of the Fifth Army Camp who came from the Xuanfu Commandery. As a deputy Jiedushi Envoy, he must have some ideas.
Niu Jizong is also active, and coupled with Long Jinwei's ambiguous attitude, this makes people even more suspicious.
Wang Wenyan must have noticed some strange changes in the situation in Beijing, so he wrote to himself so eagerly, listing his worries and suspicions one by one for his own analysis and judgment.
However, Feng Ziying was also a little confused. If Emperor Wan Tong really made any moves, where would he take action?
Long Jinwei is meaningless. Those few men and horses can't even deal with the five-city military division and the patrol battalion in the capital. Even if Lu Song really surrenders to Emperor Wantong, it won't have much impact. As long as the Jingying and Shangsan
With pro-army in hand, no one can change the situation unless the border troops enter Beijing.
But now the only border armies that can really intervene in the situation in Gyeonggi Province are the Xuanfu Army and the Jizhen Army. Needless to say, You Shigong will not move a single soldier without the order of himself, the governor of Jiliao.
Liu Wei, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, seems to be able to move, but Sun Chengzong, the Minister of War, is in the capital. Does Liu Wei dare to order the Xuanfu soldiers to enter the capital? I'm afraid that if Sun Chengzong gives the order, the Xuanfu soldiers will turn their guns, right?
Moreover, even if Liu Wei wanted to intervene in the situation in Beijing, he would not be able to enter the city with the Beijing camp and the Shangsanqin army guarding the city.
The Shangsanqinjun is in his own hands, and he also has great influence in the Beijing camp. How much trouble can Xiao Ruxun, a deputy envoy of Jiedu, stir up?
Although Ma Chengxun of the Fifth Army Camp is not a direct descendant of his, he has also contributed to his promotion. Will he feel rebellious?
Various contradictory signs also made Feng Ziying a little unsure.
Although the military men were dissatisfied with the civil servants, if they were to really rebel, they still had some innate respect for the civil servants. This was a psychological set that had been formed for a long time.
But how much of this sense of awe will still exist when Emperor Wan Tong joins in and opposes the cabinet?
These uncertain factors make Feng Ziying unable to judge.
But one thing is certain, the situation is changing, and it is changing in a direction that is not conducive to the cabinet and itself.
Feng Ziying has always believed in the Murphy effect. If you are worried that something bad will happen, the probability of it happening will become infinite, so you'd better believe it will happen and be prepared for it.
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying immediately asked Zijuan to help her dress and quickly went to the study.
Jia Huan had been waiting in the study for a long time, and Wu Yaoqing arrived soon.
"Where are Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong?" Feng Ziying asked with a pout.
Jia Huan thought for a while and said: "I started to leave Denglai Town ten days ago. I should have arrived at Niuzhuang now, waiting to board the ship and return to Dengzhou, right?"
"Have you boarded the ship yet?" Feng Ziying asked immediately.
"Probably not yet. Niuzhuang Port is still frozen. Ji Zhen's army went back by land." Jia Huan immediately responded: "It will take some time for Niuzhuang Port to thaw, so they are probably waiting there.
.”
"Immediately send an order to have Deng Lai Zhen's troops march to Jinzhou, and have them board a ship from Jinzhou to Dagu." Feng Ziying gave the decisive order.
Both Jia Huan and Wu Yaoqing were shocked. Instead of returning to the Dengzhou defense line, Denglai Town suddenly went to Dagu. Dagu was an important area in Gyeonggi Province and the border troops could not go there without permission.
"Sir, what happened?" Wu Yaoqing asked in a low voice subconsciously: "It will take at least ten days to march from Niuzhuang to Jinzhou, and it is the time when the snow is melting, and the road is very difficult. It is better to march in Niuzhuang.
If we stay in Zhuang for a few days, the port will thaw in late March. But if we go to Taku, I'm afraid we need to report to the court first."
Wu Yaoqing's reminder made Feng Ziying realize that he was a little hasty. Dagu was not like Liaodong. He could mobilize troops to garrison at will. To go to Dagu, he had to have a suitable reason and apply for approval.
