Chapter 2225: Guizi Juan should come and always come

  Chapter 2225 Guizi Juan should come and always come

  Working with Li Tengfang for so long, Feng Ziying still feels very good, he is a person who does practical things, of course this is not his own person.

  From the first day in Shaanxi, Feng Ziying began to consciously cultivate her own people, but it was too difficult.

  Through disrupting the formation of the guards, recruiting and recruiting, those who actively cultivated themselves in the army did relatively smoothly, and the minds of warriors did not have so many twists and turns, and it was easier to conquer people's hearts.

  Warriors of various backgrounds like Wang Chengwu, Zhao Qianshan, Ma Jinbao, Jing Zhizhong, etc., have gradually come under his command over the past year.

  This is not only because of the deepening of the relationship with each other, but also because of the recognition of my future and the feeling that I have a better future if I work for myself.

  Feng Ziying doesn't care about these people, as long as he is willing to follow him, he has a lot of ways to slowly build up these people, integrate them, and finally bind them into one.

   But the group of civil servants is not so simple.

The civil servants who really have a certain status are basically from the imperial examination. They are either Jinshi, or at worst they are candidates. With the imperial examination, these civil servants have a bit of confidence. Although they are governors themselves, they must be convinced by others. On the knees, it's not that easy.

Many people also have contacts in Beijing, which is one of them; in addition, many people do not agree with their own ideas, and some feel that they are too young. Distance, it is possible to do things, but it is only limited to official exchanges, but in terms of personal friendship, the distance is intentionally or unintentionally opened.

   There are quite a few people in this category.

Feng Ziying had already been prepared for this point. After all, she was only in her early twenties. No matter how famous she was, she was still in the capital. Maybe he will stay in Shaanxi for a long time, but in the future it will be the chief envoy who will actually be in charge of affairs in Shaanxi, so on the contrary, many people from Li Tengfang's side have expressed their favor.

Feng Ziying, an official like Li Tengfang who has already established his worldview in his forties, of course does not expect to bring the other party into his camp. He can work together and support each other. In addition to practicing state affairs and Zheng Chongjian, such as Pan Ruzhen, Xia Zhiling, Xu Junyang, Geng Ruqi, who had friendship before, Fu Shi and Song Xian in Beijing, these officials were the ones who worked hard to train and make good friends.

  Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu's political observation period has expired, and they returned to the capital to wait for work arrangements.

Feng Ziying actually hoped that they could stay, but she also knew that it was impossible for both of them to stay. Sun Chuanting knew the soldiers and preferred to go to the Ministry of War, while Chen Qiyu was more inclined to go to the local area. If Feng Ziying could help him, he could let the other Get a better starting point in place.

Feng Ziying also knows that this kind of thing cannot be done overnight, without ten or eight years of painstaking savings, it is impossible to reach a satisfactory state, so he is not in a hurry. , This complement each other, so that these officials can grow up step by step.

The only regret is that my father was born in a warrior and had deep connections in the army, but he was a weak civil servant. Daiyu's father Lin Ruhai was born in a civil servant, but he died too early, and he was born as a private minister of Emperor Yuanxi. He is liked by other civil servants, so he doesn't have many friends with him.

  Shen Yixiu's father is from an authentic scholar background, but Shen Xing has his own ideas, which may not be consistent with his own.

This old father-in-law, Feng Ziying, is still afraid to rest assured now, but he still plans to wait until he returns to Beijing this time, to find a chance to have a good chat with this old father-in-law, and by the way, find some suitable talents from him to see if he can accept him. For your own use.

  However, Shen Zizheng's brother-in-law has also expired to observe politics, and it is not clear what kind of arrangements will be made.

However, this guy is very close to Yang Sichang and the Hou brothers, but keeps a distance from his brother-in-law. Feng Ziying also finds it funny. After returning this time, he will also find an opportunity to have a good talk with Shen Zizheng. He is also included in his own camp, after all, he is his own family, so it is much more reliable.

  While thinking, Feng Ziying picked up another letter, and when she looked up, her forehead couldn't help wrinkling.

   It was Qiu Zixiong.

The situation in southern Shanxi is not optimistic. What's more important is that Qiu Zixiong has never been able to hook up with another rebellious army—Zijin Liang. , on the Shaanxi side, when the time comes, they will continuously annex and annex many other rebellious armies by various means, which probably makes Zijin Liang a little scared, so he would rather stay away from Qiu Zixiong and refuse to join forces with Qiu Zixiong.

The problem is that under such circumstances, Qiu Zixiong can't justify attacking others because they propose to fight on their own side. After all, everyone is a chaotic army against the government. They can echo each other from afar and help each other to restrain the officers and soldiers.

Although the Zijin Liang Department was very afraid of Qiu Zixiong, they fought smoothly in Huozhou. Now they have already captured Li Lingshi and invaded the territory of Fenzhou, taking Jiexiu County in one fell swoop. Seeing that Fenzhou may not be guaranteed.

   And Qinzhou in the east is also turbulent. Although the rebel army has not entered the territory of Qinzhou for the time being, but even Fenzhou is not guaranteed, how can Qinzhou be spared.

   Now it depends on how Chai Guozhu dispatches the army from Shanxi Town to deal with it.

It turned out that Chai Guozhu had always been worried about the Tumote people outside the northern wall and the Bailian of Fengzhou, so he was reluctant to use the elite to go south, but now that even Fenzhou was about to be lost, he really couldn't sit still, so he came from Ningwuguan And Laoyingbao dispatched elites to the south.

However, due to the limited military strength in Shanxi Town, Chai Guozhu can only free up three battalions with more than 10,000 troops, and they all need to be drawn from Laoyingbao, Ningwusuo, and Piantouguan. There is a lack of food and supplies, so it will take a long time in terms of time.

  During this period, in the face of the offensive of the rebel army, the capital of Shanxi could only rely on some local guards and people in Fenzhou to resist.

  Qiu Zixiong’s letter did not contain such detailed content, but Zhao Qianshan also introduced the situation in Pingyang Mansion to Feng Ziying in a letter from Puzhou Office.

Probably because he was worried that if he wanted to attack Puzhou, he might be interfered by Shaanxi, so the Zijin Liang Department ignored the garrison in Puzhou, so Zhao Qianshan's department seemed safe now, and the main battles were concentrated in Pingyang I went to the northern part of the government and the line of Fenzhou and Qinzhou.

"Zijinliang's offensive rhythm is very well grasped. There is neither rushing all the way, nor rushing here and there aimlessly, but it is so steady and steady, laying down a county town, resting for a while, and then mopping up the surrounding area. After some time, I chose the second target. I remember that it was May when they took down Huozhou, but it’s already July, and they only took down Lingshi and Jiexiu. Isn’t he too prudent?”

  Feng Ziying turned to Wu Yaoqing who came in and said, "Zijinliang was still quite violent in the early stage, why is he suddenly a different person now, becoming so cautious?"

  Wu Yaoqing was also a little surprised, Zijin Liang didn't seem to have such a conservative and cautious temperament, why did he change his temperament uncharacteristically?

"Maybe he was worried that he would go north too fast and be caught off guard by the Shanxi Army?" Wu Yaoqing asked subconsciously, but then shook his head and denied himself, "Impossible, there is only one way to go south from Shanxi Town, and the geographical location of Fenzhou is very The important thing is that it cannot be spared, it is impossible for Zijin Liang to be so careless that he does not even know that the enemy is coming in front of him, right?"

"I can't say it, but I always feel that Zijinliang's performance is a bit strange. In the past two months, they have been so lingering, and they have not played badly before. The spirit stone was won, and Jiexiu was successful. Why? Are you spinning here in Fenzhou?" Feng Ziying pondered and said: "It will obviously take some time for Chai Guozhu's Shanxi Town to go south. There are many Shanxi natives in Zijinliang's army, and some of them even surrendered from Shanxi Town. They You are no stranger to intelligence clues, why are you so dawdling, not moving forward, as if you are waiting for something?"

When Feng Ziying said this, Wu Yaoqing also felt suspicious, but he couldn't find any convincing reason, "What do you mean, my lord, what are they waiting for? Waiting for Shanxi Town to go south? They dare not advance to Taiyuan Mansion Inland? Do you think it is more suitable to fight a war in Fenzhou? It doesn’t make sense.”

"I'm not sure now, I just feel that there is something strange in it. Zijin Liang is not the kind of character who plays tricks, and it's a bit intriguing to come out like this now." Feng Ziying rubbed her chin, "There must be something here, Xiao Xiao Yi, Fenzhou, and Pingyao are all within easy reach, there is no reason to be satisfied after taking Jiexiu, there are not many guards in these three places, why not take them down?"

  Wu Yaoqing settled down to think carefully, and then slowly said after a while: "Could it be that they did this intentionally, just waiting for Shanxi Town?"

"Then what's the purpose?" Feng Ziying asked back: "Do you think Shanxi Town is easier to fight if it leaves the territory of Taiyuan Prefecture? Fenzhou is just one step away from the territory of Taiyuan Prefecture. What can be obtained in Taiyuan Prefecture is less in Fenzhou. gone?"

  Wu Yaoqing shook his head: "What if they want to move the army from Shanxi Town farther, so that others can take advantage of it?"

  Feng Ziying stared at Wu Yaoqing: "You mean Fengzhou Bailian? Are they going to attack?"

   "Other than that, there is no other suitable reason." Wu Yaoqing said solemnly.
