Chapter 1186 Placement of Gengzi Volume

"The losses here in Ji Town are not small, and it is imperative to make additional additions. And judging from the current situation, the Chahar people will still be a big problem in a short time. Although Lindan Batur has great ambitions and talents, after all, Chahar people The size and strength of the human body are there, and the Outer Khalkha people are still wavering. Brother You, you really have too few people who can take advantage of them, and you can't do it alone."

Feng Ziying's words made You Shigong feel close to him. They were brothers fighting tigers, father and son fighting in the battle. He once wanted You Shiwei to help him, but he also knew that this was impossible.

Not to mention that the governor would not agree, even the Ministry of War and even the Metropolitan Procuratorate would not allow it. How could three brothers gather in Ji Town to serve as officials? Isn't this going to become a vassal town?

I'm afraid that before anyone came, the censor's bullets would have been flying all over the sky, so he could only think about it.

He also thought about recruiting some old troops from Yulin, but his qualifications were too young. Unlike Feng Tang, who had been an official in Datong for several generations, he could rely on old friendship and face to persuade the Ministry of War to ask for help from some old troops. With his qualifications The commander-in-chief, Shang Qian, can only rely on himself.

"Hushan and Kunshan are a bit younger, but they happened to encounter this kind of opportunity. I think Hushan may get a guerrilla, but Kunshan is at a loss. It would be good to get a defense upgrade." Feng Ziying pondered: " Both of them came from my father's army, and they don't have many opportunities to fight in Liaodong. If they follow Brother You, I think they have more opportunities. They are both in high spirits now and thinking about fighting."

You Shigong's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but rub his hands: "Ziying, it's settled, let Hushan come over, and I will give him a chance to station the guerrilla department in Shichengxi and Dashui Valley. As long as he is not afraid of death, There are many opportunities for confrontation with the Chahar people over there; if Kunshan is just a garrison and cannot control one side on its own, you can follow me, or follow Lao San, Taiping Camp and Jianchang Camp can do whatever they want. Choose, although there are not as many opportunities as there are in Shichengxi and Dashui Valley, but the security here is not peaceful. If you can use it, you can call it at any time. I will consider it if I have the opportunity. When the third child has the opportunity, naturally he will not Treat him badly."

This arrangement is suitable for everyone. Huang Degong went directly to the West Road, which is the most dangerous and has the most opportunities, especially Duzhen Road, where he will inevitably have to confront the Mongols outside the border wall.

This time they were at odds with the Chahar people and the Outer Khalkha people. It was impossible for the Zhou army to do nothing. They were bound to make some counterattacks. As long as they dared to come out of the border wall to fight and gain something, then Ji Both the Zhen and the Ministry of War will definitely not hesitate to reward him. As long as You Shigong's Ministry withholds his credit, Huang Degong will definitely have more opportunities.

"Well, Brother You, Mr. Chai and Mr. Yuan are here this time. In addition to checking the people in Jingying, they also need to take a look at the situation in Ji Town. Liaodong is currently making great efforts to install new fire guns, but Ji Town There hasn't been much movement here yet. I suggest you mention it. Although the Jianzhou Jurchens are a serious concern, the Chahar people should not be underestimated. In addition, the Jizhen soldiers are also the reserve team of Liaodong. Once something happens to Liaodong, Jizhen Reinforcements are available at any time..."

Feng Ziying's words made You Shigong couldn't help but sigh: "Ziying, you don't know something. Brother Yu specifically said this when he went to the capital to meet Master Shangshu and Master Chai, and also discussed it with the Auxiliary Department. The problem is Fireguns are now expensive. In addition to ensuring Liaodong, the imperial court has already started a war in the southwest. The Ordnance Bureau has to find a way to meet the needs of the southwest. It is said that the imperial court is worried about the prolongation of the war in the southwest and has asked Yang He to reorganize Jingxiang. The refugees need to build a new type of fire gun army, so it is impossible for us to get our turn in Jizhen, not even Xuanfu and Datong,..."

“The reason why Xuanfu and Datong are in trouble is because of their behavior...” Feng Ziying held her tongue for a moment and did not go any further.

Niu Jizong's performance made the court very dissatisfied, but the court seemed to be a little bit cautious now, especially now that the emperor was in poor health and the overlord's attitude was unclear, so no one dared to act rashly.

 Especially the Xuanfu Army has always been firmly in the hands of Niu Jizong, and Shanxi Town also has a considerable army in its hands. Only the Datong Army was unable to penetrate because the Feng family and the Ma family were too powerful.

However, the three towns of Xuanda are all elite border troops, no less than the two towns of Jiliao, and far better than the three towns and the four towns of the three sides. Once Niu Jizong is wanted to be attacked and Niu Jizong refuses to surrender, causing turmoil in the army, the gain will outweigh the losses. Therefore, when the DPRK and China are already unstable, everyone would rather keep calm.

"Brother You, a crying child will be fed by milk. Ji Town is of great importance. The Chahar people's invasion has also shaken the capital. The court and the emperor have been touched. If you don't take advantage of this situation where people's hearts have not yet completely settled down." I am afraid that it will be more difficult to make these requests to the imperial court in the future. The fire cannons of Hushan and Kunshan have been basically replenished, but they are borrowed from Liaodong Town. I think you should at least ask the Ministry of War for these two The fire blunderbuss from the Ministry can be considered as replenishment for Jizhen, and those from Liaodong Town will be replenished by the imperial court. Isn’t this request too much?"

Feng Ziying gave You Shigong an idea, "Now that Hushan and Kunshan have become proficient in training, we can't expect them to return the firecrackers when they have already mastered it, right?"

You Shigong nodded, "That's true. Ziying, before we agree with the Ministry of War to let Hushan and Kunshan be included in Jizhen, let's not mention this matter. We will only ask for more firecrackers and adapt them at the same time. There are infantry.”

Feng Ziying laughed, You Shigong is not stupid, he still understands these secrets, "Of course, other conditions must be negotiated before bringing up this matter again, so that it will be difficult for the Ministry of War and the court to retaliate. In addition, Brother You In fact, you can also directly send a secret message to the emperor and state the current situation of the Ji Zhen Army. I think the emperor will consider it."

You Shigong hesitated for a moment, glanced at Feng Ziying again, and then said slowly: "Ziying, do you know what it means when I deliver a secret to the emperor?"

"No, Brother You, please don't look at me in this way. I'm not here to test anything on behalf of my father. I can't do anything wrong. My father is not that narrow-minded. No one can take the trouble of our great Zhou Dynasty." Do you understand?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of Feng Ziying's mouth, "It seems that it is nothing new for the nine-sided general to bypass the governor and go straight to Tianting. The emperor has given it a special permission. If the governor is still suspicious, then just don't take it like this. Governor."

You Shigong couldn't help but was speechless. This little Feng Xiuzhan really dared to say that even though he was in front of him, he was considered a member of his family. But which military attache had changed, even the governor would not dare to say that, and only Only these civil servants dare to be so presumptuous.

Seeing that You Shigong remained silent, Feng Ziying laughed loudly and said: "Brother You, I am telling the truth. I also told my father that we, the martial arts family, are working for the emperor. The Feng family in Datong The third general of the clan, both of whom have been appointed to the post, are wrapped in horse leather. Is there anything I can't understand? As long as they are good to the court and the emperor is satisfied, then it won't be a problem."

You Shigong also knew that Feng Tang was not that kind of person, but it was just that Feng Ziying always sounded a little uncomfortable saying these words, but he could also see that Feng Ziying really didn't care about this, and even persuaded him to do this. This means to win the favor of the emperor and then gain benefits for Ji Zhen.

"Ziying, let's wait until we meet Mr. Chai and Mr. Yuan to discuss this matter." You Shigong basically accepted Feng Ziying's suggestion and left some room for relaxation, "By the way, Lieutenant Long and the Punishment Department went to Pan Guanying. I also got news about the situation of that guy. He was from Luanzhou. In the third year of Yonglong, he had a fight with Shangguan over trivial matters. In the end, Shangguan was seriously injured and escaped. This guy was a fierce general when he was in the camp. , there was also a sworn brother he had become friends with at that time who was running away with him, he was a sharp archer..."

“Oh? Are they all from Luanzhou?” Feng Ziying perked up.

"No, that sharp archer belongs to the Tianjin Sanwei of Hejian Prefecture, but it is said that there is no one in the family for a long time..." You Shigong shook his head, "Long Jinwei and the Criminal Department are still investigating the people who were closely related to this guy back then. People, it is estimated that there will be some feedback in a few days."

 Long Jinwei and the Ministry of Punishment both attached great importance to this matter and sent people to Shanhaiguan to investigate.

Feng Ziying nodded silently, "I am a little surprised that I have something to do with the army, but I fled seven years ago. Where has this guy been making a living in the past seven years? A deserter from the army must not dare to go home, but like People like them, who have been making a living in the military, really want to escape without some connections. Especially in the Gyeonggi area, the security is relatively strict, and they know many of them, so they are not afraid of being caught. If someone recognizes it, report it to the official?"

"Haha, Ziying, please don't say that the public security in Gyeonggi is good. I find it very disturbing, not only for your Yongping Mansion, but also for Shuntian Mansion. But the guy you mentioned has been moving here, and There must be a lot of people who know him before he has gone far, but he can hide his whereabouts and there is no information from the government. There is indeed some doubt here." You Shigong also agreed with Feng Ziying's view, "There might be some big shot covering up for him here. Conceal it, ordinary people cannot do such things, only those..."

Only those wealthy gentry families, are they the wealthy families who raise dead soldiers?

 But Feng Ziying thinks that the conflict between herself and them has not reached this point, right? If he was really found out, it would be a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying shook her head, "Forget it, let's leave this matter to Long Jinwei and the Criminal Department to investigate. I can only be more careful when I go out now. Fortunately, there are still some useful people around me. There is a concubine who is also a disciple of Kongtong, and her martial arts skills are decent, so you can’t stop doing things just because of things like this, right?”
