Chapter 1065: Ji Zijuan is silent and calm

  Chapter 1065 Self-written scroll

  Facing Feng Ziying's performance, Yonglong's embarrassment suddenly disappeared.

   After all, I’m still a kid, and I haven’t learned how those old oily guys can calmly give you a whole set of justified excuses, which is good.

  In fact, Emperor Yonglong didn't care about this. Whether it was Feng Ziying's sophistry or euphemistic explanations, they were all reasonable. Who would be willing to admit their own selfish distractions? Isn't this a kind of disloyalty to the emperor and the court?

  But Feng Ziying's half-covered admission is very in line with Emperor Yonglong's view of Feng Ziying.

   Doesn’t cover up the desire of the heart, but also knows how to advance and retreat, just like the outside world rumors that Feng Ziying has a widow’s disease, lustful and greedy, what is there to criticize?

   Talented, well-known in the capital, and suave, isn't this a normal thing?

  Have people wandered around Huajie and Liuxiang to be attacked by the imperial censor, and have not hooked up with any married woman, but just took the Hu girls as concubines, and asked for a beautiful maidservant from the whole family to take it for themselves, what is this?

   I'm afraid everyone is happy to see the success.

  Which sister wouldn't want to climb up to such a young civil servant with a bright future, regardless of his reputation, talents, and family background? Which family is not happy?

Of course, Emperor Yonglong also knew that his bestowal of the third house and concubine must have added to the icing on the cake or added fuel to the flames of Feng Ziying's romantic story, making his talent and reputation go hand in hand, and it will become a story worth writing in history books in the future. .

"Okay, I also know that Feng Qing is not the kind of person who doesn't know the importance and proportion, and your father should be the same. Tell me how sure you are. I heard that the Ministry of War has not heard from the Ministry of Li Ruzhang so far." Emperor Yonglong Leaning on the throne in leisure time, he said leisurely.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister and the generals have carefully discussed and discussed the matter of going out of Xifengkou to reinforce the Caojiazhai this time. He Huchen, one of the former Five Army Battalions, led the troops in the battle of the Santun Camp. The part that broke out from the encirclement also strongly requested to join this time to go north to Xifengkou to reinforce Caojiazhai. The morale was also good, but I considered that the five army battalions had lost their fighting spirit after this battle. Although He Huchen's part seemed quite The posture of knowing the shame and then being brave, but I still didn't dare to agree, and I also had the first battalion of the Jizhen Army stationed in Taipingzhai, so I mobilized the elites of various ministries to form such an army. Not many, but almost all of them are able to jump out of the most capable battle in the entire Yongping Prefecture, and the small number of people can also reduce the pressure on logistics supplies,..."

Feng Ziying talked eloquently, "I believe that such an army can achieve our goal, but the entrance to Xifeng Mountain is in the mountains of Yanshan Mountain, so the march may be very difficult and time-consuming, but I believe that within a few days In the coming days, there should be news that Li Ruzhang's and Huang Degong's troops will merge into one, and they will be able to return to Gubeikou and recapture the Chaohe Station. The Khalkha stabbed in the back.

  Although I know that Feng Ziying's words are a bit exaggerated, Li Ruzhang's and Huang Degong's troops add up to less than 10,000 people. How can they pose much threat to the 100,000 or 200,000 Mongolian troops? But Emperor Yonglong still liked to hear such words of inspiration.

At least it's not like those guys in the DPRK and China who know nothing about the current situation and the situation on both sides, but they are more powerful than anyone else. They are there all the time to make alarmist remarks, lamenting that the Mongols may repeat the siege of Beijing after the Tumu Fortress change in the previous Ming Dynasty. This scene made Yonglong Emperor very troubled every day.

"Well, Feng Qing, I was greatly disappointed by Jingying's performance in the battle of Santunying. I didn't expect the general you mentioned to want to avenge his shame. What's the situation with this general surnamed He?" Yong Long The emperor was very interested in the military general Feng Ziying mentioned in the Beijing camp who wanted to join the reinforcements of Caojiazhai. He had no impression of such a vigorous military general. Most of them were not of high rank, and there was a high probability that he was not from a martial arts background.

"Is the emperor talking about He Huchen? He is a general of the Fifth Army Battalion, and he belongs to General Qi Jianyao's department." Feng Ziying knew that he had successfully aroused Emperor Yonglong's interest, which was also his intention to mention He Huchen. He was born in a military family in Baoding, and entered the Shenji camp after passing the Wu Jinshi examination. He is quite brave, but the chronic disease caused by years of pampering in the Beijing camp, he can only follow the trend. This time I heard that I intend to use troops to reinforce Li Ruzhang Department, that's why he wants to make meritorious service and atone for his crimes,..."

Emperor Yonglong was a little disappointed when he heard Feng Ziying's introduction of He Huchen's situation. His rank was too low, but after thinking about it, it wasn't like this in the capital camp. Naturally, it is not the turn of these talents who are from real military households or Wu Jinshi status, so they also secretly remember this name.

  If the Beijing camp is to be rebuilt in the future, this person is a role that can be reused. As long as he is promoted by himself, he is a non-martial arts disciple and a martial arts scholar.

   "I heard that there are many soldiers who fled to Yongping Mansion after the defeat of the Beijing Camp?" Emperor Yonglong seemed to ask casually, "I don't know how many warriors like He Huchen still have some **** spirit?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Beijing camp was only defeated in the east and west of Santunying City, and was not completely wiped out by the Neikalkha and Horqin coalition forces, so there are actually quite a few defeated soldiers who escaped. When I left Yongping Mansion, Nearly 20,000 soldiers have come to Yongping one after another. Logically, they should go to Zunhua to find Jizhen. The minister also asked them, probably because they were afraid that Zunhua would have a war with the Mongols, so most of them They all chose to escape to Yongping, and as for what His Majesty said about the brave warriors, I don't have much to say,..."

  Feng Ziying pretended to try hard to remember.

"However, when I left, there seemed to be another Yang Zhaoji who came with Han Shangyu and Mr. Han. It seems that he had some background. It is said that he brought a desperate battle with the Mongolian cavalry several times. Only by retreating can Master Han be able to escape,..."

Yang Zhaoji is indeed a talent. He was able to organize a breakup even when the general situation was already defeated. He even staged an ambush after the defeat and fought a beautiful counterattack. Although the lack of troops did not achieve much results, but But it was still considered successful in preventing the opponent's intention to follow and kill, which is quite rare in the Beijing camp.

  Before Feng Ziying left, Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen were also listed as the seed players for the reorganization of the Jingying escaped stroke.

  Yang Zhaoji, Emperor Yonglong memorized the name silently again, but he didn't ask the other party's identity again, that would be too blatant.

  Just come down and ask Lu Song to check, and you will know the basic situation of He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji. They have the status of military officers in the Beijing camp.

  Feng Ziying can roughly figure out some thoughts of Emperor Yonglong now.

   Regarding the Jingying, Emperor Yonglong has realized that even if he is the emperor, it is impossible to completely abolish such a force.

Not to mention that the guards of the capital city itself need a huge armed force. This is a traditional regulation. Even if this huge armed force may become corrupt and degenerate with the passage of time, and its combat effectiveness will gradually fade, but as long as a hundred thousand people Placed there, it is essential to comfort the millions of people in the capital city and even the capital, and to comfort the dignitaries and wealthy families in the capital.

   Not to mention the 200,000 to 300,000 relatives of soldiers living inside and outside the capital behind this force.

This is also a force that cannot be ignored. It may not have much impact in other places, but they live in the capital city, and most of them live in the capital city. Once their interests are harmed, they should not be underestimated. To a certain extent, it can coerce public opinion.

Now Emperor Yonglong has two things to do. One is to use various means to seize and seize control of the Beijing camp. This does not involve ordinary soldiers, but mainly military officers. Now the Nekhka people have taken these people away The second is to re-enhance the combat effectiveness of this army, but this is not something that can be done in a short period of time, and it is not even the most urgent. It is far inferior to the former.

  As long as there is only this decisive armed force in the capital city, whoever controls it will take the absolute initiative.

   Therefore, the hundreds of people in Zai Sai's hands are very important.

  Feng Ziying guessed something, but also knew that Emperor Yonglong would never be able to say it, all he needed was for the courtiers to figure it out on their own.

"Neikarka people are good collaborators. They are hostile to Jianzhou Jurchen, but at the same time they are not too willing to submit to the Chahar people, and their geographical location is just north of the Chahar people. To the east of Ren, to the west of Jianzhou Jurchen, and even to the East China Sea Jurchen, so the existence of such a collaborator is extremely valuable."

  Feng Ziying patiently introduced to Emperor Yonglong why she was willing to negotiate with the Nekhka people and even expressed her willingness to form an alliance.

"The Horqin people are very dangerous. Information from various channels shows that they are actively colluding with the Eastern captives. Once the two sides form an alliance, the Yehe and Ula tribes caught between them will be very dangerous. Therefore, we must resolutely curb this gesture of the Horqin people. Fortunately, the southward invasion of the Neikarka and Horqin coalition forces has greatly improved Zaisai's prestige. The Nekhka people can exert greater pressure on the Horqin people. The five tribes of Yehe, Yehe, and Neikalkha can join hands to completely dismember the Horqin people at all costs. In short, we must not let the Jianzhou Jurchen hand easily extend into the Eastern Mongolian grassland,..."
