Chapter 1043 Self-written volume planning

   It was the last time that Zai Sai was told about sending an army to go out from Xifengkou to reinforce Gubeikou, which made Zai Sai and his team quite speechless.

  However, after learning that there were only 4,000 troops, Zaisai and others were unhappy, but they didn't care too much.

  As Feng Ziying said, this should be more of a gesture, showing support for the war in Shuntian Prefecture. In a sense, this is adding luster to Feng Ziying's family.

Therefore, Feng Ziying also said very eloquently that the better he develops in the future, as an ally, the five parts of Nekalka, their most important friend in the big week, will naturally bring them greater benefits , which makes sense.

   Zai Sai, who had no intention of getting involved in the war between Chahar and Wai Khalkha in Shuntian Prefecture, acquiesced to this.

Thinking about my rejection of Lindan Batur's invitation and order, the relationship between the Five Departments of Nekhka and the Chahar people will inevitably deteriorate in the future. Zaisai feels that this matter is not a problem. It's better to agree generously, and it's better to settle on the Liaodong side, so that the previously discussed matters can be advanced quickly.

It is also a matter of strategy. If you mention this issue from the beginning, you will definitely be firmly opposed by Zai Sai, and you will not It is beneficial to the discussion of various matters, and there will be no hindrance to mentioning this matter after the general situation is determined.

Hou Chengzu and Busia Mara observed Feng Ziying's operation methods from the beginning to the end, from lobbying (fooling) at the beginning, to substantive fighting for every inch of profit in the later stage, to making decisive decisions, and then adding additional items backhanded , This set of operations really played the tricks of the bureaucrats to the fullest, and let Hou Chengzu and Busia Mara, both young and tender, have a deep understanding of Feng Ziying's "skills".

However, there are some things that Busia Mara and Hou Chengzu still don't quite understand, but since Feng Ziying didn't mention them, they won't ask them in depth. Feng Ziying's method.

"Brother Huchen, the reason why you didn't arrange for your Beijing camp to go out of the fortress is because of a comprehensive consideration of several factors. Firstly, the Jingying camp has just suffered setbacks and morale is not good; secondly, the soldiers in the Beijing camp are pampered and have to travel for more than ten days to go out of the fortress. , all marching in the mountains of Yanshan, they simply can't bear it; thirdly, the soldiers of the Beijing camp are probably not willing to travel hundreds of miles to participate in a war that they think has nothing to do with them. It's almost the same as Bianhuang, they will feel that it shouldn't be their responsibility,..."

   Seeing He Huchen's slumped face, Feng Ziying could understand what he was thinking.

Qi Jianyao has completely freed himself now. Apart from sending someone to send a letter back to let Qi Jianhui, the current Patriarch of the Hou family in Xiangyang, help him get rid of his crimes, it is a pleasure for him to stay in Qian'an City, but Qi Jianyao is After Wu Xun, he was dismissed from office and taken away from office. As long as he was convicted and imprisoned, it didn't matter. At worst, he would just hang out at home. It's unknown when he might be able to recover in a year.

But He Huchen is different. Although he is also from a military family, he is just an ordinary military family. He can only win an official status by being a Wu Jinshi. He just fell into the quagmire of the Beijing camp and cannot extricate himself. Now he is facing this kind of thing again. , It really made him want to cry without tears.

Although the middle and senior military officers in the Beijing camp are mainly the children of Wu Xun, there are not no other military officers who have worked hard from below. Children from poor families and military households recruited from the prefectures and counties of Shuntian Prefecture outside the capital city.

This ratio is about 70% to 30% or 82% to 20%, that is to say, the children of military households in the capital city probably stand at 70% to 80%, while the remaining 20% ​​to 30% are from Yanqing Zhuwei, Xingzhou Zhuwei, Young children selected from military households in the guards around the capital city, such as Tianjin Sanwei, Wanquandusi, Xuanfu Sanwei, Zhuolu Sanwei, etc.

After all, no matter how blind the high-level officials of the Ministry of War and the Beijing Camp are, they also understand the truth that running water does not rot, and households do not rot. If all the children of the Beijing Camp military households who have not moved their nests for decades are allowed to occupy the positions of the generals of the Beijing Camp, I am afraid that it will really be difficult. He has become a veteran soldier, and he can't even do such foolish things as the annual routine drills.

   "My lord, if we don't go on this journey, we, tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, just stay here and do nothing. Are we just waiting for an imperial edict to make us completely criminals?"

  He Huchen was unwilling, but he also knew what Feng Ziying said was true.

  If he really wanted to choose one or two thousand people to go out of Xifengkou and rush out for a ten-day long-distance attack on Gubeikou, he himself felt that it was impossible, as long as he said it, the soldiers below would rebel against him.

   Isn't this the same as going to die for them?

After finally escaping their lives from the Battle of Santunying, they now only hope that they can return to the capital safely. Others care about what happens to him in the future. what?

"Brother Huchen, you don't have to be so pessimistic and depressed. Haven't you seen that Mr. Qi is also calm?" Feng Ziying patted the other party's shoulder, raised her glass, and said with a light smile: "Come, have a drink, Kunshan, give it to Brother Huchen Pour the wine."

  The task of going out of Xifengkou to reinforce Caojiazhai was handed over to Huang Degong.

This is also what it should mean. Zuo Liangyu made great achievements in the defense of Qian'an City, and Huang Degong originally thought that he could do it again in Lulong City. Unexpectedly, Zai Sai turned around so decisively, and came to Yongping after hard work. , Could it be that he went back before he had achieved an inch of merit?

  So no matter how hard it is to reinforce Caojiazhai, Huang Degong will have to go there, and no one can compete with him.

The task left by Zuo Liangyu is not light. Huang Degong took away most of your elites. The task Feng Ziying gave him was to use the large-scale refugee refugees caused by the Mongol invasion to recruit soldiers from the rest of the soldiers. Jingzhuang added to it to reorganize the second battalion of the Yongping New Army.

Of course, Feng Ziying didn't consider supplementing from the nearly ten thousand defeats in the Beijing camp. Firstly, these people are still organized by the Beijing camp, and he doesn't have the qualifications to cross this red line. In Yongping or Liaodong, he really looked down on these defeated soldiers.

"My lord, you are making fun of me. How can a lowly position be compared with Lord Qi?" He Huchen shook his head repeatedly, stood up and took the wine that Zuo Liangyu had poured for him, and after thanking him, he said: "Master Qi may not care, but A humble job, and thousands of brothers under the humble job can't just sit and wait for death like this."

"No hurry." Feng Ziying said calmly: "There is still opportunity and time. The battle in Gyeonggi will not end so easily. The Kazakhs are so mobilizing to come here, and now they have the upper hand, how can they retreat so easily? This battle will not be over in two or three months."

  He Huchen's eyes lit up and then dimmed again.

Although he is also eager to participate in this battle, it can be regarded as saving some face for the disastrous defeat in the battle of Santunying, and avoiding himself becoming a scapegoat in the future, but thinking about the situation of these soldiers under his own hands, looking at the situation of the general and his superior If you are sluggish, you know that this is purely a luxury.

  The changes in He Huchen's expression were all included in Feng Ziying's eyes.

   This person can be regarded as a rare alternative in the Beijing camp, but looking at his background, one can tell that this person is definitely not in the same category as Qi Jianyao and his like, and is more eager to fight and make meritorious service.

But this is the case in the Beijing camp. Soldiers are the courage and soul of the soldiers. Both are indispensable. The climate of the Beijing camp is like this. Combat strength and morale are here. For a riding contest, it must be for food delivery.

  But for me, it is also an opportunity.

"Brother Huchen, don't be too entangled. Freezing three feet is not a day's cold. The status quo of the Beijing camp is left over from decades. No one person can change it. But after this catastrophe, I think the court and the Ministry of War will With drastic reforms to the Beijing camp, the Beijing camp may not be able to reach the level of the frontier army in the future, but I am afraid that it will be impossible to live like before, so I think brother Huchen can actually take a step ahead."

  Feng Ziying's words made He Huchen sit up straight subconsciously, and put down his wine glass, "Please teach me, sir."

"The battle in Gyeonggi is fierce. I predict that if the Mongols have difficulty breaking through in the next step, they will expand to the two wings. At that time, Jizhou, Changping, Baodi and other suburban counties will be harassed by Mongolian cavalry. It is definitely difficult to compete in a confrontation, but it is still possible to participate in a moderate battle of self-defense and steady defense, which can also slightly wash away the shame of the battle of Santunying."

  Feng Ziying's words made He Huchen nod repeatedly.

"Of course, it's impossible to go to war with the low morale and no fighting spirit in Qian'an City. Therefore, if you want to fight, Hu Chen, you might as well use your original subordinates as the basis to fight in the army. Among the nearly 10,000 remnants, select soldiers who still have fighting spirit, conduct integrated training, and then choose the opportunity to fight."

   "Choose an opportunity to fight?" He Huchen is not that kind of stupid person, he also heard the unfinished meaning in Feng Ziying's words.

"Huchen, don't you think that you can collect thousands of remnants and practice for a few days, and you can fight against Chahar and Waikalka cavalry?" Feng Ziying said with a little more smile, "My It means that to reorganize the remnant soldiers, you must first show a posture, at least let the Ministry of War know what is going on, and then choose the opportunity, what opportunity to choose? It is when facing the small group of Mongolian rangers, fight a few battles, let The world knows it, but it is necessary to avoid large-scale tough battles, otherwise it is unwise to do it knowing that it cannot be done, and to be destroyed in one battle, what is the point?"

   Both He Huchen and Zuo Liangyu suddenly realized.
