Chapter 2025: Gui Zijuan is forced to go to Liangshan

Chapter 2025 Gui Zi Juan is forced to go to Liangshan to punish evil with evil

Wang Qia glared at Feng Ziying and said, "Ziying, do you want me to learn how you deal with Wu Daonan? Mr. Zou is no better than Wu Daonan."

"Brother Han Zhong must know exactly how to do it. There is no need for me to remind him. I only remind brother Han Zhong that Shuntian Mansion is located in the center of Gyeonggi Province and cannot be compared with other places. Once something happens, the whole country will be shocked and the stakes are high, so please Brother Hanzhong discarded red tape and some unnecessary personal reputation, and put the overall situation of the court first."

Feng Ziying's words were calm, but they carried an unquestionable decisive meaning, which made Wang Qia couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In his early twenties, he was able to defeat his predecessor without any skill. His courage and domineering power alone were not something ordinary scholars could possess. Even if he prided himself on being strong-willed, he would be inferior to his opponent. First of all, and this guy is also very skillful, Wu Daonan is willing to cooperate with him. The two have cooperated for more than a year, and there is not even much discord, so the court can keep silent.

This is Gyeonggi under the eyes of the imperial court. For Fu Yin and Fu Cheng to be able to do this, it is really a scorpion's **** - the only one.

"Ziying, you've given me a good start." Wang Qia had a headache and said bitterly: "I was pinched the moment I came here, and you threw me a lot of questions, and then you said this was I have to take the overall situation into consideration, but this is pushing me towards antagonizing Mr. Zou."

"Brother Hanzhong, everything is for the overall interests of the court. If Mr. Zou can see the situation clearly, I believe he will not be unhappy with brother Hanzhong because of this. If he really has that ability, just leave it to him. I'm afraid that if he does a bad job, Brother Hanzhong will be asked to clean up the mess in the future. Wouldn't that be a hindrance to the overall situation? So if Brother Hanzhong really feels that it is safe, he can test it first and see what Mr. Zou wants. Bar?"

Feng Ziying put forward her suggestion with a smile, so Wang Qia could only give the other party a fierce look and stop talking.

Two major matters were clearly explained, and then came the daily affairs. Feng Ziying also discussed with Wang the possible promotion of Fu Shi and Song Xianhui. With the arrival of Zou Yuanbiao and Wang Qia, the entire Shuntian Yamen Association was ushered in a wave of big changes.

Wang Qia is also a person who can do things, and many questions have been asked to get to the point. However, Feng Ziying also feels that Wang Qia does not like to take charge of the overall situation as she does, but is more willing to do the things that belong to the Fu Cheng well. .

This may have a lot to do with his previous field of work, military preparation and division of defense, and he is only a counselor, and the left and right chief ministers above him can directly control him, so although he has a tough style of work, he is more Follow the rules and don't be as unruly as you are.

Feng Ziying also gave a general introduction to the officials and personnel in the mansion, including the personnel in the six rooms, especially the official room and the execution room. This was his basic plan. Since he wanted to leave, he would give the full account to Wang Qia, which would not only allow Wang Qi to Quickly adapt and accept, and at the same time find a good new master for this group of people.

Proper arrangements for these matters can also leave a good reputation for Feng Ziying. If there is any need in the future, these people will do their best to help without compromising their own interests.

The third squadron of government officials was the territory that Feng Ziying and Wu Yaoqing had made great efforts to reorganize. Now it is full of strength. However, considering that they are going to Shaanxi, the personal soldiers and **** team are in urgent need of reinforcement, so it is indispensable to choose some who are willing to go and reliable. Candidate.

People here from Shuntian Prefecture and Beizhili may not be willing to go, but those who have been wandering around for a long time are eager to try, hoping to get greater opportunities, especially those who are very optimistic about Feng Ziying's future and shoulder the responsibilities People in the martial arts world who have the important task of making their sect prosperous are even more willing to give it a try.

 Before leaving, Feng Ziying heard that her position in state affairs might also be changed.

As the fellow magistrate who succeeded him in Yongping Mansion, he should theoretically be the leader of all the scholars in Yonglong Five Years. However, he was overshadowed by his own brilliant future, but in fact he practiced state affairs and worked hard. He is calm and precise. He is deeply trusted by Wei Guangwei in Yongping Mansion and has an excellent reputation among the princes in the court.

Feng Ziying knew very well that if she continued to stay in Yongping Mansion, it would be difficult for Wei Guangwei to value her as much. Her temperament was completely different from that of Lian Guoshi, and she did not like Wei Guangwei.

The next place to practice state affairs may be Shanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Si Yousun. Of course, he will definitely serve as a military commander or a branch guard. This is also the court preparing for the situation in Shanxi to change in the future, and his old father-in-law Shen Jue is said to be transferred to Henan.

Feng Ziying estimated that practicing state affairs would mostly involve stationing troops in Puzhou to defend and prepare troops, in order to cope with the possibility that once the situation in Shaanxi deteriorates, it may spread to Shanxi.

  ******

"Is everything arranged?" Qi Yongtai put his hands behind his back and looked out the window with a calm tone.

"It's almost done. This is all we can do." Feng Ziying stood respectfully inside the door, "In the past two days, the disciples have negotiated with the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment. Brother Hanzhong has entered the role. Soon, with a little guidance, he was on his way, and I also handed over a few important things to him, so there should be no big problem."

"Well, I'm not worried about Shuntian Prefecture. I also know that you have arrangements. Fu Shi went to Baoan Prefecture and Fang Kezhuang went to Guangping Prefecture. I know you must have deep meaning. Erzhan (Zou Yuanbiao) is not Huifu ( Wu Daonan (zi) is comparable, even though he is a little unfamiliar with general affairs, he can do things, don't underestimate him, with Hanzhong's help, there will be no big trouble in Shuntian Mansion."

Qi Yongtai sighed, "I'm more worried about Shaanxi. The feedback from all aspects is very bad, especially the news in the past few days is all bad news."

 Feng Ziying remained silent.

 He had anticipated these situations.

The imperial court has focused all its energy on Shandong, and now it really can’t spare any time to take care of Shaanxi.

After all, Shaanxi is still separated from Shaanxi and Henan, and the Yellow River is blocked by the natural chasm. At least there is a chance to turn around. Even if it is really out of control, it can still be contained within the encirclement of Shaanxi and Henan. Wait until the situation in Shandong and Jiangnan After everything is calmed down and the Northwest Army and Jizhen Army are freed up, everything is no longer a problem. At most, the losses will be bigger and they will recover slowly.

Now the imperial court has this idea, trading space for time, so Feng Ziying only needs a mere 300,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs as the cost of leaving Shaanxi. This includes the relief of the entire Shaanxi and the mobilization of the garrison in the three sides and four towns. This made Feng Ziying dumbfounded.

What can you do with three hundred thousand taels of silver?

According to Feng Ziying's estimation from the news that Wang Wenyan continuously sent back, if the entire Shaanxi Province did not have 3 million taels of silver to buy food relief, there would be no way to get these rebels to lay down their weapons. If 300,000 taels of silver were to be used by the Yulin Army as the basis, The Lord's armies on three sides and four towns were mobilized, but they were still not enough.

Even the Jia family needed 400,000 taels of silver to build a Grand View Garden. To solve such a huge problem in Shaanxi, only 300,000 taels of silver were given. Feng Ziying didn’t know what the imperial household department was thinking.

Perhaps the imperial court had no intention of using relief at all, but wanted to use the guard army to defeat the rebels, or to completely kill the rebels. This would also solve the dilemma of more people and less food than land.

"That's all secondary. I believe your father has connections and influence in the Trilateral Army, and you can use it. Three hundred thousand taels of silver is just for emergency use. It would be ridiculous for you to rely on it." Qi Yongtai continued: "What I am most worried about are the local gentry and officials in Shaanxi. Yun Guang caused a catastrophe when he was the governor. I don't want you to follow the same old path after you go."

Yun Guang was from Shanxi. When he served as governor of Shaanxi, he initially had trouble getting along with local officials and gentry, so he was hampered in everything he did.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate also often received reports from Shaanxi, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also investigated twice. Fortunately, Yun Guang had the support of northern scholars in the court, so he ignored it.

Later, Yunguang also realized that if he wanted to be promoted, he could not do without the support of these colleagues and local gentry, so he began to consciously join in the troubles with these people.

With the support of these people, Yun Guang became more courageous, smuggling, bending the law for personal gain, corruption and expropriation, and collaborating with local powerful people in Shaanxi. Therefore, things were done well at the local level, but he did not expect that he would fall into the trap caused by the Ningxia rebellion. on the issue.

"Master Qi, my disciples have been thinking about this issue. Now the rebellion is in the ascendant and has become a prairie fire. It is different from when Yun Guang was there. To calm it down, if you want to rely on the gentry as usual, it may be a little difficult. , because the rebel army has basically swept away the small and medium-sized gentry and chairman in the countryside. The rest are either merchants and gentry hiding in the city, or powerful people who have a certain ability to protect themselves, but they are unable to solve the problem. The problem of insurgent troops.”

Feng Ziying's words surprised Qi Yongtai, but he was more pleased. "Well, you can see it correctly, but if this happens, how are you going to deal with it?"

“If the court gives me enough money and food, I originally planned to recruit people mainly for peace, but now...” Feng Ziying smiled bitterly.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for the court to satisfy you. Three hundred thousand is indeed too little, but even if I give you one million or two million, can you pacify all these rebels? The source of the disaster, the refugees, cannot be solved. That is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. , so you have to find another way." Qi Yongtai stared at Feng Ziying, "I want to hear a feasible strategy from you. It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, but now I want you to use local materials. Don't expect the court to solve this problem. It’s solved, Ziying, are you sure about this?”

Feng Ziying secretly sighed in her heart. After all, she had to resort to this trick that she had never wanted to use. Master Qi had actually hinted at it, or had acquiesced to this somewhat violent and dark method.
