Chapter 2219: The fangs of the Guizi scroll are showin

  Chapter 2219 The fangs of the guizi scroll show their fangs, and they are intimate in classical Chinese

  Feng Ziying used this method to preach and indoctrinate colleagues and subordinates around her in this way throughout the year, in order to pass on her brand-new ideas to these groups who are most receptive to these views as much as possible.

  Whether they are active or passive, whether they can understand and accept it or not, first let them have an impression concept in their minds, which can be a warm-up for the implementation of these concepts in the future.

Of course, when Feng Ziying conducts propaganda and indoctrination, he also chooses people, places and times, and is more particular about the methods. For example, when communicating with people like Zhao Nanxing and Li Tengfang, he is more likely to draw out these topics and viewpoints for discussion according to the situation. , By the way, I used some of my practices in Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion as evidence, in order to convince them as much as possible.

   As for the subordinates, it is more of a general publicity. After all, such a group is much larger, and he does not have so much energy and time to talk about it one by one.

  But there is another big killer that will play a bigger role, and that is the "Northwest Times".

As the "Northwest Times" began to be published and sent to various desks, it can be said that the first people in Shaanxi Province to be affected by the public opinion of "Northwest Times" will be the "high-end group" with no more than a thousand people, or the elites of Shaanxi Province The crowd, officials, gentry and some big merchants were all included by the Northwest Times.

In the early stage, Feng Ziying did not mix her views and ideas too much, but used news information and various newspaper-style contents to strengthen her authority. After two or three months, everyone subconsciously accepted the " After the content published in the Northwest Times is credible, he will gradually combine some of his views with his own work and publish it to influence everyone's thinking.

   This is definitely a long process, but as long as there is a good start, Feng Ziying believes that Shaanxi, an inland and remote province, may be able to get out of poverty and backwardness faster.

  While the situation in Shaanxi was improving all the way, the situation in neighboring Shanxi was full of ups and downs.

Since entering March, the rebel army has formed two major groups. One is the rebel army headed by Zijin Liang Wang Taipu who entered Jin earlier, and after accepting the second group of Mang Zhangfei and Xing Honglang who fled to Jin later, they are powerful. Zhang, successively made efforts in the counties in the central part of Pingyang Prefecture, captured many counties and counties, and began to assume a northward posture in April, forcing the southward part of Shanxi Town to retreat.

On April 29th, Zijin Liang used the main force to attract the frontier army in Shanxi Town, and then used a big breakthrough to bypass the Sandeng Mountain with Zhang Cunhou and Xing Honglang, cutting off the back road of the frontier army in Shanxi Town from the rear. To Linfen.

Zijin Liang Wang Taipu led the main force of the rebellious army to attack Linfen under the guidance of the frontier army that surrendered earlier. Some officers in the frontier army were persuaded by the surrendered frontier army earlier, and they cooperated from inside to outside. Linfen fell on the third day of May, and the remaining frontier troops surrendered. Zijin Liang.

  On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Xu Cong'er, an octopus dragon, captured Hongdong. On the fifteenth day, he went to Zhaocheng, and on the twenty-second day, he went to Huozhou.

  The other Lumang Zhang Fei tribe captured Yueyang by the Jianshui, approached Qinyuan County in Qinzhou, and Jinzhong was shaken.

  At the same time, Qiu Zixiong's troops moved much more slowly, staying on the bank of the Yellow River for training.

   It was not until after the Zijin Liang Department captured Xiangling that Qiu Zixiong felt that it would be more unfavorable for him to delay the situation, so he led his army northward to occupy Xiangning, and on May 17th, Jizhou.

   "Now the chaotic army in southern Jin has put the court in a dilemma." Feng Ziying also felt embarrassed when she received Qiu Zixiong's letter.

Sun Chengzong's army has already gone north to Shanhaiguan, and the army that originally went south from Shanxi Town to counter the rebellion was surrounded and defeated, and even surrendered to the rebellious army, becoming the backbone of the rebellious army. This is the most unacceptable of.

   I can't blame Chai Guozhu like this.

Su Shengdu's defeat in the first battle in Shandong directly ruined more than 50,000 elites from Shanxi Town. When Chai Guozhu left for the first time, Su Shengdu, as a senior deputy commander, was focused on gaining victory for himself through the first battle in Shandong. In order to be able to be promoted to the general army in the next step, almost all the elites of Shanxi Town were taken out, but Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu seized the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop, which directly hurt Shanxi Town's vitality.

   Then, in order to quickly restore the vitality of Shanxi Town, Chai Guozhu had to deploy troops from various guards in Shanxi to make up for it.

However, the guards of the Shanxi Dusi are either located in northern Shanxi and under the control of Datong Town and Shanxi Town, which are useless, or the combat effectiveness in the areas of central Jin and southern Shanxi is not strong, and the number cannot be achieved all at once. To make up for more than 50,000 troops, so in the end Chai Guozhu could only draw part of it from the guards, and part of it was simply filled from the people.

  This directly led to the uneven combat effectiveness of Shanxi Town.

It turns out that the rest of Shanxi Town's old troops are basically still stationed at Piantouguan, Laoyingbao, Baodezhou, Zhenxiwei and Ningwuguan to deal with the Tumote, so those who sent south to quell the rebellion were last year The new frontier army, which was just recruited from the guards and civilians, was far from being able to compare with the original old frontier army in terms of combat effectiveness.

  After gaining a small victory in the early stage, this part underestimated the enemy, thinking that the rebellion army was mediocre, and then was caught off guard by the main force of Zijinliang's rebellion army, and was defeated thousands of miles away.

The retreat of this frontier army even directly brought down the Pingyang Guards, which still had a certain fighting capacity. In the battle of Linfen, the frontier army collapsed first, but the Pingyang Guards persisted for a day, but faced with the arrogant chaos , the Pingyang Guards' will was taken away, so in the end they were not spared.

Once Linfen was lost, the entire Pingyang Mansion was basically hopeless, like Hongdong, Zhaocheng, and Huozhou all went down in one go, only Yindiguan, which was located in the main throat of the north, still had the original Pingyang Guards stationed, so it was chaotic. The army has not taken advantage of the trend to go north, but the number of that army is too small, only more than 600 people, facing tens of thousands of chaotic troops, it is just a drop in the bucket, and it is difficult to hold on.

"Qiu Zixiong is indeed in a bit of a dilemma. Now all the ministries below hope to go north, capture Daning, Puxian, and Xizhou, control the line along the Yellow River, and keep pace with the Zijinliang Department." Wang Wenyan also smiled wryly, "Now Qiu Zixiong and the others It is also impossible to attack eastward, and the rebellious army below will definitely not agree, which will cause chaos, because it is too unreasonable."

   Indeed, Zijinliang King Taipu specially sent someone to Qiu Zixiong, asking for coordination and attacking the official army together, but now you are going to sneak attack the allied army, and you are hundreds of miles away.

  Let’s say you don’t go to fight the prefectures and counties in front of you, but go to fight the Allies. This is unreasonable, so Qiu Zixiong is in a dilemma. He doesn’t know what to do, so he wrote to ask for advice.

   "Well, I also know that this is unreasonable. Doing so will cause chaos within the entire Baitangzhai team." Feng Ziying also found it difficult. "Bai Jiu'er's unit was basically well preserved and joined Baitangzhai, and also helped Qiu Zixiong absorb many other rebel troops along the way to join Baitangzhai. Its strength is not impressive."

  Qiu Zixiong's men and horses seem to be strong and strong now, but the internal structure system is not tight.

"According to Qiu Zixiong, his entire force now has more than 20,000 troops. Among them, his most elite Baitangzhai old department actually only had about 3,000 people at the beginning. Later, he continued to absorb and expanded to more than 5,000 to close to 6,000. After two rounds of mergers, it reached 12,000 people. These 12,000 people can barely be regarded as his old department, which is relatively stable, but later Bai Jiuer and some other small groups of rebels had about 10,000 people. The left and right were merged in, and after reorganization, the current strength of more than 20,000 troops has been achieved. In this way, Bai Jiu'er and the rebellious army that joined later accounted for more than 30%, so it should not be underestimated."

Wang Wenyan nodded in agreement, "Qiu Zixiong made the decision to keep a distance from the Zijin Liang Department and not to merge. This should be no problem. The issue of dominance is not easy to solve, but everyone is a chaotic army. Even if they don't merge, they can at least be regarded as alliances." Even if they don't cooperate and support each other, at least they won't meet each other. If Qiu Zixiong makes a decision to attack the Zijin Liang Department, it will definitely cause opposition from the Bai Jiu'er Department and some other chaotic troops. Some of the rebellious troops that merged may also be separated from Germany,..."

   "In classical Chinese, what do you think Qiu Zixiong should do?" Feng Ziying rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

   "You can let it go north, take Daning, Puxian, and Xizhou, and then attack Fenzhou and Yongning Prefecture!"

Feng Ziying was taken aback by Wang Wenyan's words. He looked at Wang Wenyan and asked suspiciously, "Wen Yan, why did he become so radical all of a sudden? After taking Fenzhou and attacking Yongning Prefecture, they all entered Taiyuan Is it true that Chai Guozhu's Shanxi town is a clay sculpture and wood carving, will he be indifferent to this?"

"What does your lord think about Qiu Zixiong? No matter what he does, he can't justify it, so he should be bold and seek opportunities." Wang Wenyan didn't care. The Liang army is attacking eastward, attacking Qinzhou and Lu'an, so that the two armies will advance against each other and develop independently, which can be regarded as a competition."

  Feng Ziying laughed, "Wen Yan, your suggestion sounds too outrageous, but I think you will definitely give me a reasonable reason. Asking Qiu Zixiong to do this is definitely not in line with our original assumptions."

   "My lord, do you think Zijinliang will succeed if it continues to develop like this?" Wang Wenyan asked back.

  Feng Ziying thought for a while, then shook her head: "Impossible, as long as the Datong army's elite go south, Wang Taipu has no chance. He is just taking advantage of the emptiness in southern Jin to gain power."

"What about the current situation in Shanxi Town?" Wang Wenyan asked again: "As far as I know, the Governor-General has served as the chief soldier in Yulin and the governor-general in the three sides. The Feng family is deeply rooted in Datong Town and served as the chief soldier in Liaodong. He also serves as Governor of Jiliao, but his influence in Shanxi Town is relatively weak, what if he is allowed to return to Shanxi Town at the right time? Can Qiu Zixiong win a Shanxi Town Deputy Commander?"
