Chapter 2092: In the gap between the battle of Guizi S

  Chapter 2092 In the gap between the battle of the Guizi scroll, backhand attack

  Wang Wenyan felt that Feng Ziying valued and looked forward to Yueshan Camp, and at the same time was very dissatisfied with the current Yueshan Camp.

   This is also reasonable.

  How can an army that is mixed from local chaos be reborn so easily?

  Even if dozens of soldiers from the Feng family were recruited, the training time is still short, and it is difficult to see results, especially if they have not experienced the baptism of real fierce battles.

  It’s still far from what it is like today. As Feng Ziying said, when the enemy rushes to the top of the city and fights with real swords and guns.

  My Dong Weng is really a martial artist from the frontier. Although he is already a civil servant, he has never left the nature of a warrior, and subconsciously wants to intervene in military affairs.

   It is not impossible to form a local guard like this, but if you change the governor, you will definitely not come to ask and intervene in person.

  Of course, it makes sense to do so. After all, the situation in Shaanxi is too bad now. In order to ensure their own lives, it seems that there is no problem in forming an army that can protect their own lives.

It’s just that it’s okay to do so now, but in the future, I’m afraid I’ll have to weigh it carefully. After all, Feng Tang is now a first-class general in the court. If Feng Ziying, the governor of Shaanxi, is still holding a large army in his hands at any time, he must It will attract bullets from the censors.

From Wang Wenyan's point of view, Feng Ziying's mind should still be more focused on the officialdom of Shaanxi Province. The object of rectification, if these people are not sorted out smoothly, it will be difficult for Feng Ziying to open up the situation in Shaanxi.

  Wang Wenyan also mentioned this to Feng Ziying, but Feng Ziying confirmed that this matter should be done, but it is not the most urgent.

The officials in Shaanxi officialdom have already been divided into several factions, and as the new governor, although he is the official in charge of the overall situation in Shaanxi in name, in fact he came alone. Whether it is Lu Chuan or Sun Yijie, they are actually in Shaanxi. It has been cultivated for many years and has a large group of officials who obey their orders.

For example, Lu Chuan was the Zuo Buzheng envoy who was promoted from the right envoy, and Sun Yijie was the procuratorial envoy who was promoted from the Zuo Canzheng who was appointed to announce the political envoy. At that time, Lu Chuan, who was still the right chief envoy, had a bad relationship. After the two were promoted, they were respectively in charge of the chief political envoy and the procuratorate.

Although in theory Zuo Buzhengshi is the highest chief executive of a province, in fact, the Judicial Commissioner for Improving Punishments is not subordinate to the Chengxuan Political Commissioner. It is directly subordinate to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and its duty is to supervise Provincial administration and even personnel play a supervisory role.

According to the usual practice, the three divisions of a province also have a capital division as a local military institution, but most of the northern regions are adjacent to border towns, such as Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong (including Liaodong), and Beizhidu are bordered by border towns. Except for Henan, because of military On the outside, the emphasis is on the inside, and the capitals of these provinces have actually been virtualized by the border towns and reduced to organizations that prepare soldiers for the border towns.

Cheng Xuan’s higher-level organization is the six ministries, or the cabinet, and Feng Ziying, as the right servant of the Ministry of War and the right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is not as good as the chief minister or even the procurator. , but the meaning of the governor is to patrol hunting on behalf of the sky. With the status of imperial envoy, coupled with the status of Minister of the Ministry of War and the censor of Qiandu, this is also the confidence for him to command the entire military and political team in Shaanxi.

  Having this confidence does not mean that it can be realized immediately. Without sufficient prestige and contacts, it will be difficult for Feng Ziying to truly control the situation in the province.

  As far as I am concerned, prestige and connections are actually complementary to each other, especially as an outsider like myself, how to quickly establish prestige, the most convenient way now is to quell civil unrest, eliminate plague, and restore local peace.

In this process, whether it is military suppression, inviting to buy people's hearts, appointing officials to make wishes, or attracting gentry, all kinds of measures are indispensable, but the most important part of these measures is to There is an army like a commanding arm, without this army, everything is empty talk.

Wang Wenyan's idea was too ideal, and he underestimated the hostility of Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie towards him. Their fear, or hostility towards him now even surpassed the conflicts between them before. It is impossible to join forces to deal with themselves.

   There has been a long-standing grievance, how can it be so easy to shake hands and make peace?

   Besides, Feng Ziying would not allow the two of them to have the opportunity to join hands. From the very beginning, he wanted to kill this bud in the cradle.

   These seem a little far away, and Feng Ziying won't think about them for the time being. What he has to do now is to build an army that he can control with one hand as soon as possible. Of course, he won't be too many with two or three.

It’s hard to say what the future situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be like now. The Mongols and Jianzhou Jurchen outside the border wall, Fengzhou Bailian inside and outside the border wall and various Bailian rebellious parties in the interior, as well as the Southern Army in Jiangnan and Huguang, and Sichuan and Guizhou Don't even think about any trouble that can't be settled in three to five years, and these troops can come in handy, even more flexible than the use of frontier troops.

  The rebellious army finally retreated, which made everyone in Wubao City heave a sigh of relief.

  As expected, the intensity of the battle at the east gate was far less than that at the west gate. It looked more like a feint, but no one dared to ignore it.

  Wubao City is small, once it reaches the city wall, it basically means that the city has collapsed, so Xia Zhiling sits there, and Feng You personally assists the Minzhuang soldiers and Gu Xiuzhong's guards there.

"Generally speaking, this is still a messy army. The only worry is that its number is too large, and it is still growing. Ants kill elephants. If it continues to be consumed like this, if morale does not drop and gradually adapts, We'll be in trouble."

Feng You came here together with Xia Zhiling. Although the battle looked easy, he frowned deeply, "Besides, if we raise such a banner, if we kill it early, it may continue to attract more chaos around us." The army is swarming."

  This is the biggest problem, and Feng Ziying is also weighing it.

Liu Dingfeng and Wang Chenghu were sent to contact the people in Datuhu Village and Poluosi Village, but the two villages remained indifferent. They neither joined in the attack on Wubao, nor agreed to form an alliance with Wang Chengwu. in the name of.

If the expectations are not bad, the people in Datuhu Village and Poluo Temple Village should have guessed that Wang Chengwu's department had accepted the government's recruitment, but they pretended not to know. So also vague.

But the surrounding rebellious army is not limited to the soldiers from Datufalcon Village and Poluosi Village, these are just the two most powerful ones, like Mizhi, Jiazhou, and even Qingjian, there are many groups of those people A small group of rebellious troops ranging from one to two hundred to four to five hundred might even be stimulated by the situation on Wubao's side. Those victims who were still rebelling and continue to suffer from the outflow of hunger immediately raised the flag of rebellion and turned into a rebellious army.

  If this siege situation continues, forming a stalemate, then the situation may evolve into a piece of fragrant honey that attracts countless ants to gather and become out of control.

  But now one's own side does not have the strength to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, so if one takes a risk hastily, it may be taken advantage of by the enemy.

   This requires choosing a time and a node for changing the situation, and at the same time, there must be the addition of external forces to make this situation turn sharply, forming a sweeping sweep.

"The Yulin army..." Feng Ziying pondered, but Feng You quickly shook his head: "Don't count on that side, Mr. He is too mature and prudent, it may take ten days for the soldiers from there to arrive, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive that time .”

   "Uncle You, what do you mean..." Feng Ziying nodded slightly.

"Persist for another two or three days, kill the morale and fighting spirit of the rebellious army, and finally have to take a risk. Wang Chenghu's part will make a dangerous surprise attack, whether it can be done or not, otherwise the situation will become more and more passive. In addition, the big rabbit falcon The people from the village and the Poluo temple village.” Feng You thought for a while and said, “Although I don’t know the people from the big rabbit’s village and the Poluo temple village, I also heard about it when I was in Yulin. There is also a fish river The people in the village should be at odds with the people in Boyan Village and Baitang Village, but Yuerhe Village is too weak,..."

  Feng Ziying didn't understand Feng You's intention, but she didn't ask, just listened quietly.

"My idea is that it's best to mobilize the people from Datuhuzhai and Boluosizhai to fight back..." Feng You looked at Feng Ziying, "This may be called the governor and you Ziying, Otherwise, the people in Datu Falcon Village and Poluo Temple Village will not be tempted. In addition, I also consider contacting the people in Yuerhe Village. Even if it is just a contact, it can attract the hearts of the people in Datu Falcon Village and Poluo Temple Village. ..."

Feng Ziying roughly understood Feng You's thoughts. Wang Chenghu's surprise attack was not important, it was just a restraint. People have been in contact with each other for a long time, and if they want to turn them back, they must have enough interests, that is, the prestige and reputation of myself and my father plus credibility. The people in Poluo Temple, let them understand that without them, there will be others.

   After thinking about it carefully, Feng Ziying asked again: "It should be very safe to do so, so what is Uncle You worried about?"

"Ziying, when I go to see the people in Datufalcon Village and Poluo Temple Village, if you reveal your identity, they will know that you are in Wubao City. If you fail to convince them, they may change their attitude and join the attack. If you join Wubaocheng's team, it will really be self-defeating, unless you leave Wubaocheng." Feng You looked at Feng Ziying and said.

  Feng Ziying shook her head slightly: "I won't leave. If I really leave, this city will collapse immediately. Uncle You, you just go, you might as well make all kinds of words clear. I believe that people in the Yulin border village will not be so short-sighted and stupid."
