Chapter 2153 Guizi Juan sorts out the situation and responds to the crisis

  Feng Ziying just arrived in Fuzhou.

  Fanzhou further south, the situation is not very stable.

  Although Qiu Zixiong is still dealing with Wang Zuogui and Miao Renmei in Yanchuan, there is no news yet, but the destroying camp that followed has taken control of Qingjian, and the situation is quietly changing.

   To the southwest of Qizhou is Zhongbu County, which is later known as Huangling County. The place where Luoshui, Huachi Water, Ziwu Water, Gu River, and Ciwu River converge is the county seat, and it is an important place for military strategists.

  Central counties are still under the control of the government army, but except for the county towns, the rebel army is very active, and the countryside is basically controlled by the rebel army. Except for some noble gentry fortresses, there are almost no county towns.

Thirty miles to the southeast of Fuzhou is Luochuan, and eighty miles to the east of Fuzhou is Yijun. In addition to Yijun, which is 40 miles to the southwest from the central part, these counties are the areas with the strongest rebel forces in the entire Yan'an Prefecture. .

  As long as these counties can be resolved, Yan'an Prefecture will be recovered, and once the situation in Yan'an is stabilized, the problems in the eastern states and counties of Xi'an Prefecture will be much easier to solve.

  Wen Tingshou, magistrate of Yanzhou, is considered a usable talent. Although Feng Ziying has only been here for two days, he can feel it after a few contacts.

  Min Zhuang is well-trained, armor and weapons are complete, and the city defenses are well-repaired. It can be said that he has contributed a lot to maintaining the current better situation in Fuzhou.

However, this guy is a bit too strong. He severely suppressed the local powerful gentry and had a bad relationship with his boss Pan Ruzhen, so he has worked in Fuzhou for five years and still has no hope of promotion. Wen Tingshou saw a glimmer of light.

  Seeing that Feng Ziying's face was slightly ugly after reading the letter, Wen Tingshou got up to leave with interest, but Feng Ziying still suppressed the irritability and worry in his heart, and signaled the other party to be safe and calm with his hand.

"Don't worry, Tingshou, we haven't finished talking about the matter in Yanzhou, let's talk about it." Feng Ziying smiled lightly, put the letter in his sleeve, and said slowly: "There are not many potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn seeds left, but we can still Supply one or two hundred acres of land, so Tingshou, you have to arrange for people to plant and cultivate them. Your drought in Yanzhou is considered the best in Yan'an Prefecture. Five waters flow in. Choose some mountainous areas around the county to grow them. This season will come down , I want to come and see the situation myself.”

"Don't worry, my lord, I dare not say anything else, but Yanzhou can still find a group of people who are good at farm work, but I don't know if the seeds you brought are useful or not." Wen Tingshou said with a smile: " One or two hundred acres of land is not a big deal, but after spending so much time and effort, I failed to produce a decent result, which will damage your prestige, my lord."

"Hmph, don't talk to me there, Mr. Xu has carefully cultivated it through so many years of experiments, can there be any difference?" Feng Ziying waved his hand, "Just do it right, don't worry about other things. There are more than a thousand people, I think they are well-trained, so the cost is not small, right?"

   "Who doesn't say it?" As soon as Wen Tingshou mentioned this, he got excited, "Exemption from hard labor, full food, and not good training, is it justified?"

   "But the forced donation has aroused strong repercussions among the gentry." Feng Ziying asked with a smile.

"Hehe, how can there be such a good thing in the world. I don't need money and food, and I want to be safe. Sir, tell me where to find such a good way, and I will learn from it." Wen Tingshou pouted and said: "Look for it." If not, in Yanzhou, you have to follow my method, no one is allowed, according to the number of land and mansion shops, one counts, you have to give me money and food, otherwise I can only send you Treat it as collusion with the rebellious army."

Wen Tingshou said it nonchalantly, but Feng Ziying knew that this fellow really dared to do such a thing. The Chen family and the Tan family in Yanzhou were imprisoned by him on the grounds that they colluded with the Bailian sect bandits to plot rebellion, and finally dispersed. Family wealth is considered to be escaped. After this incident, the whole state of Yanzhou was silent, and no one dared to challenge his authority.

  However, the counterattack force of doing so will not be bad. Once the situation stabilizes, these gentry will definitely retaliate wildly, but now that the army is in chaos, these gentry can only endure bitterly.

   "Tingshou, have you considered the consequences?" Feng Ziying asked, he did not believe that Wen Tingshou could not consider these issues.

"Hehe, my lord, you should be aware of the situation in Yanzhou. The central county is at stake. Once the central part is lost, that Kunzhou will bear the brunt. Rather than wait until the chaos is overwhelmed, it is better to act first. I will follow my own path. Come and go, I really want to settle accounts after the autumn, the worst is that I resign and leave. I am a recruiter, and my hometown is in Jiangxi. It is no problem to spend all my money and ask a group of bodyguards to **** me back to Jiangxi. It is better than dying here, right? "

  Wen Tingshou spoke the truth.

  The situation in the central part is now struggling. If Qiu Zixiong's Baitangzhai army can't quickly make a breakthrough in Yanchuan Yanchang and go south, the central county is estimated to fall within half a month to a month.

The guards in the entire Yan'an Mansion are very weak. There is a battalion in Yan'an Mansion, that is, Fushi City, and the rest of the guards only exist in name. There is one garrison of one hundred households, with more than 600 people, but in fact there are less than 600 people.

There are also Jingbian, Suidewei, Zhenqiang, and Yulinwei, but in fact, except for Suidewei and the incomplete first battalion, the other guards are directly under the control of Yulin Town. It is a supplementary guard post for the Yulin Frontier Army, and it has nothing to do with the place at all, and the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division has no control at all.

"Could it be that the rebel army has come to besiege the city, can I still count on Yan'an Guards or the guards in Xi'an in the south to rescue me?" Wen Tingshou smiled slightly at himself: "Of course, if you and I are besieged together, my lord In this city of Fuzhou, I guess Lord Du Sixie and the frontier soldiers in Yulin Town will spare no effort to rescue you, but I dare not bet, you didn’t come at that time, even if you did come, but in case tomorrow Did you go to Xi'an or Fengxiang? I still have to be responsible for guarding the land here. I am afraid of death. I have a beautiful wife and concubine at home. The gentry took pains to cut their flesh to form Minzhuang."

"Actually, the effect is really good. As long as the money and food are in place, it doesn't matter whether it's Orion, Mudlegs, or servants, under the whip and stick, they will be able to train to look decent very quickly." Wen Tingshou smiled. He became more and more mad, "Even when these gentry were invited to review the training results, their smiles seemed to have cut their flesh, I couldn't help laughing."

   It's a character who dares to be so wild in front of him, either because of his personality, or because he really doesn't care about it, and he doesn't expect this black hat to be worn anymore.

Feng Ziying guessed it was both. Offending the gentry of a state so hard must be a constant infamy, and he is at odds with his immediate superior Pan Ruzhen, so he must not get a good evaluation from the official department. If there is no accident , I can only go home and wait for the opportunity.

"Well, I know the whole story. I still need to appease the local gentry. Don't be too harsh..." Feng Ziying also seemed very casual in her words. Of course, I can hear it, and my heart is a little active. It seems that the governor is quite appreciative of his actions?

  He didn't know that Feng Ziying's approach might be ten times worse than his, asking for money and food was not enough, and he even wanted all his property, including his life.

"My lord, I also want to be a good person, and I also want to be respectful to the gentry, but the chaos army is so powerful, don't give me this opportunity." Wen Tingshou spread his hands, "And it can be said that I have done a lot Be gentle, people starving to death outside the city abound, and mobs continue to join the rebellious army, and these situations can be completely avoided as long as the gentry take out food and money, but I didn't break my promise to ask them to take out extra, right? I just want to do what I promised, but if they can't do it, then don't blame me for being rude."

  Feng Ziying nodded silently and said no more.

  Feng Ziying savored it carefully after Wen Tingshou left.

   This guy came to ask for help, but he did it very tactfully and implicitly.

  Maybe I didn’t have this idea before, but I saw that I seemed to approve of his performance, so I came up with an idea.

  But Feng Ziying did not hesitate to support the other party.

  Those who can do things, why not support them?

   Fuzhou is stable. Even if the central part falls, Fuzhou can withstand the spread of the chaos. Of course, this depends on Qiu Zixiong's strategy in Yanchuan.

During this trip, I also met many officials. It should be said that the officials in the prefecture and county of Yan'an are not as bad as I thought at first. The consequences of years of drought, as well as the court's harsh treatment of the frontier troops in three borders and four towns, led to the infiltration of a large number of fugitives into the local area.

People like Pan Ruzhen, Xia Zhiling, Xu Junyang, and Wen Tingshou just now performed well. Even people like Wu Degui are not bad. It was as good as it gets.

  In other words, even if they do a good job, some things will still happen, and individual actions cannot change the final overall situation.

  Wang Wenyan came in, and Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief: "Wenyan, something happened."

  After listening to Feng Ziying's introduction and reading Duan Xipeng's letter, Wang Wenyan knew that something was going on after a little calculation. What a coincidence?

"I'm afraid there is no available soldiers in Shanxi that can withstand the offensive of the rebel army. Siyan City in Anyi and Cangcheng in Puzhou are probably places that the rebel army must win." Wang Wenyan looked serious, "according to The progress of the aunts is probably just about to catch up."

  Feng Ziying sighed, then leaned on the back of the chair and put his hands on his forehead, "But now that things have come to this, what can I do?"
