Chen Jingxuan was shocked and quickly helped Feng Ziying up, "Why did my nephew say this?"
Feng Ziying was not polite, since the Linqing Civil War was no longer a secret, so she told the whole story about the situation in Linqing yesterday.
He also knew that the other party and his father just had an ordinary friendship, and it was unrealistic to just expect the other party to help. If he could attract the other party's interest, there would be some chances.
After hearing Feng Ziying's detailed account of the Linqing Civil War and rebellion, Chen Jingxuan became more and more shocked.
In fact, Dongchang Prefecture has received news before that Linqing Civil War has occurred and Linqing City has been closed down. Now the situation in the city is unknown, and Dongchang Prefecture has reported the situation to Shandong Third Division.
However, because the Linqing army was already approaching Linqing, the Dongchang Guards all led the troops south to Yanzhou to suppress the bandits. It was impossible to move the troops back within three to five days. Moreover, judging from the situation, the Linqing uprising was at its peak.
, even if three to five hundred guards leave the town, they may not be able to win a battle. If the war continues to spread to Dongchang or Dezhou, I am afraid it will be even worse.
The water transport side has also been informed of the situation, but this is not the main responsibility of the water transport. The governor has not yet convened a meeting, and it is not clear how to deal with it.
"My nephew, you mean you dived out from Dongshuimen?" Chen Jingxuan didn't expect Feng Ziying, who was less than twelve years old, to be so courageous. She dared to dive out under the siege of bandits. Once she was
If the thieves catch you, your life will be in danger.
Feng Tang only had this son, and he was also his legitimate son, yet such a bold move could not help but shock him.
"Uncle, bandits are raging in the city. Although we are hiding in a secret room, if we don't have the army to put an end to the chaos as soon as possible, we will starve to death in the secret room in three to five days. Otherwise, we will have to succumb to the bandits."
Chen Jingxuan frowned and remained silent for a while.
"Uncle, are you having trouble?" Feng Ziying asked eagerly.
"My dear nephew, you don't know something. Although I, the Chief Water Transport Officer, am in charge of the Cao Army in name, in fact you should know that General Li Cao is here and Qiao Yushi is also here, so it's not my turn to speak.
Chen Jingxuan did not hide anything, and said calmly: "All matters related to Cao affairs, big or small, must be handled by Mr. Li Cao and Qiao Yushi at the same time."
Thirty years ago, this chief water transport officer was considered an important member of the military, with a high position of authority, but now, he is really embarrassed.
With the establishment of the Governor of Water Transport, previously the Civil and Military Officers were separated from the Chief Officer of Water Transport, which went hand in hand. However, as the power of the civil servants grew stronger, the pattern of the imperial court using civil servants to control the military became increasingly obvious, and the Governor of Water Transport was placed above the Chief Officer of Water Transport.
.
Later, with the increasing power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the temporary dispatch of the Water Transport Censor almost became a permanent position. The entire water transport affairs was almost a joint effort between the Water Transport Governor and the Water Transport Censor. As one of the three giants of Water Transport, the Water Transport Censor
In fact, the commander-in-chief was reluctant to even accompany him to the last seat.
Feng Ziying was not very clear about the situation here. After Chen Jingxuan said this, he finally understood.
No wonder that when I asked Wang Shaoquan about the situation of the Chief Water Transport Officer, Wang Shaoquan was vague and didn't mention it much. It turned out that this position had become a useless position with high power and little authority, and he could not make the final decision in water transport affairs.
"What should we do?" Feng Ziying was disappointed.
The reason why I thought I had hope in coming to Liaocheng before was that I had a connection like Chen Jingxuan. I asked to see Li Sancai, and Chen Jingxuan could help him talk. But now looking at Chen Jingxuan's attitude, it seems that Li Sancai is the main one, Qiao Yingjia is the supplementary one, and he
The commander-in-chief of water transport was speechless at all.
"Good nephew, it's not that my uncle refuses to help. If it were a Cao Zong or a royal censor instead of the two of them, my uncle could also help and say a few words, but these two, hehe,..." Chen Jingxuan shook his head repeatedly.
A wry smile on his face.
"Uncle, why did you say that?" Feng Ziying became interested. Now that he is here, he will definitely not give up. Even if Chen Jingxuan can't help, he is going to ask to see Li Sancai to get a result on this matter.
.
"This President Li Cao and that Yushi Qiao are very difficult to deal with. Li Cao was a Jinshi in the 14th year of Yuanxi, and Yushi Qiao was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Yuanxi, but General Li Cao has been in the Ministry of Household Affairs and Nanjing, and
Qiao Yushi has been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there was some rift between the two of them when they were in the capital, so when it comes to water affairs, they are even more at odds with each other..."
As soon as Chen Jingxuan's words came out of his mouth, Feng Ziying roughly understood that these were two rival governors and censors. Maybe the imperial court had arranged for Qiao censor to have all the affairs brought up, which was intentional.
This is troublesome, and now the censor has great power. Even the Governor of Water Transport has to give up three points, otherwise there will be endless criticism, and even lead to attacks and suppression by the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"Uncle, if we are going to mobilize cavalry troops, will it be President Li Cao who will be in charge, or Yushi Qiao...?" Feng Ziying wanted to ask this question clearly, as it was related to his next move.
"Of course it is Mr. Li Cao. After all, he is the governor-general and admiral of military affairs. Well, I heard that the DPRK and the Central Government also intend to let him take charge of the river. Maybe the DPRK and the Central Government will discuss this after returning to Beijing this time." It seems that he is aware of something about Feng Ziying.
Intention, Chen Jingxuan frowned and said: "But Qiao Yushi has a very strong character, I'm afraid he won't do it because of this..."
The implication of Chen Jingxuan's words is also very clear. Qiao Yingjia will not give in easily just because Li Sancai still needs to be reused. He, the censor, is here to control the other party. If it doesn't suit him, even if it means a bloody fight, he won't.
Will give in.
After leaving Chen Jingxuan, Feng Ziying has been thinking about how to break this deadlock.
Chen Jingxuan still introduced some situations to him.
Li Sancai is a person who dares to do things, but he is very scheming. He will work hard to do what he feels is worth doing. If he feels it is not worth doing, he will compromise. In other words, sending troops to Linqing can be done, but once someone objects, and
He also felt that it was not worth falling out with Qiao Yingjia because of this matter, so he might give up.
Feng Ziying finally saw through it. Chen Jingxuan did not have no say in the water affairs. Thinking about it, he was also a general military officer. Even though he was unable to lift his head under the heavy pressure of the Governor of Water Transport and the Censor of Water Transport, Pin Yi still
Even though it is there, some thin noodles will still remain.
But based on his friendship with his father, he probably didn't think it was worth getting involved in the muddy waters between the Governor of Water Transport and the Censor of Water Transport. It is also understandable that those who understand current affairs are heroes.
Her stomach growled for a while, and looking at Zuo Liangyu's expression, Feng Ziying knew that she must be hungry. After a night of tossing, even an iron man couldn't stand it, let alone two young calves that were growing in size.
Feng Ziying nodded: "Erlang, you find a good place to eat, let's fill our stomachs first, and then think about what to do."
"Brother, isn't it difficult?" Zuo Liangyu perked up. He was already so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. Feng Ziying visited Chen Jingxuan earlier. Naturally, he was not qualified to enter the mansion and could only stay outside the mansion. He had no food on his body.
Qian Yin could only endure it. Who would have thought that as soon as Feng Ziying entered the house, he would be starving for more than an hour.
"Well, how can it be that easy?" Feng Ziying walked away, looking around. Dongchang Fucheng is also a prosperous place, not inferior to Linqing Prefecture. Logically speaking, this is where the Fucheng is, but Linqing Prefecture is
Due to the special geographical location of the Qing Dynasty, industry and commerce were even more prosperous, but Dongchang Prefecture was also very prosperous.
I found an ordinary restaurant and ordered some cage cakes and steamed cakes first, which are also the most common foods in ordinary restaurants. Of course, there are also some more luxurious items, such as mutton. Feng Ziying will naturally not treat herself badly,
Here comes two kilograms and two bowls of noodle soup, let’s deal with it first.
Seeing Zuo Liangyu devouring his food, sweating profusely and rolling his eyes due to choking, Feng Ziying also shook her head. This look was simply degrading to the gentlemen, but I have to say that this is the most authentic aspect of this era.
After finally swallowing a piece of mutton, Zuo Liangyu took a deep breath and felt that he was half full, so he started to slow down his eating speed, "Brother, why don't you eat it? This restaurant tastes good, and the mutton is so tender.
, it smells delicious.”
"Well, you can eat it." Feng Ziying also tore the mutton slowly while thinking about countermeasures.
