Chapter 2247: Gui Zi Juan returns home and reunites

Chapter 2247 Gui Zi Juan returns home and reunites

Feng Ziying's face turned gloomy. As soon as she took office, she encountered a blow, and it was an invasion.

 It seems that the situation of the neighboring Weiyuan Guards and Ping Lu Guards is not optimistic. Yang Yuan was still too careless. In other words, Datong Town was hurt more than expected by Sun Shaozu's tormenting, and it has not yet recovered.

Feng Ziying is very familiar with the situation in Datong Town. He is familiar with the border camps and forts along the line. He has followed his father on this line since he was a child, and he has a deep impression.

"If Ying'en Fort is broken and the border troops from Jingping come up, what are the defenders of Pinglu Guard and Weiyuan Guard doing?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but ask: "Zhuhu Fort is also broken?"

Zhang Huaichang also looked ugly, but when asked by Feng Ziying, he just nodded, "Both Zhuhu Fort and Naihe Fort were lost. The Pinglu Guards only had two battalions of defenders. When they were out of the city, they were attacked by Tumote cavalry from the flank. After the surprise attack, they were defeated and dispersed. The defenders of Weiyuan Guard, well, they didn’t dare to go out at all..."

Zhuhu Fort and Naihe Fort are two important forts to the west of Yingen Fort. They guard the line south of Tumaochuan's entry into the Yellow River and are adjacent to the line from Laoyingbao to Laoniu Bay in Shanxi Town.

If the Tumuts want to invade, they can either go to Yingenbao, Zuhubao, Naihebao in the east of the river, or Laoyingbao and Shuiquanyingbao in the west of the river.

Feng Ziying had always been worried that the Tumuts would invade through Shanxi Town in Hexi Province, because in his opinion, Shanxi Town was even more unsafe. Unexpectedly, Su Nang and Fengzhou Bailian unexpectedly broke through the border and invaded from Yingenbao.

But think about it, Fengzhou Bailian and the border troops have been infiltrated and bribed, so there is no need to go to Hexi and Hedong. It is the same over there, and it is more convenient to go to Hedong.

The Pinglu Guards were raided, and the Weiyuan Guards did not dare to fight. It should not be regretted that the town of Datong had fallen to such a low level.

 The Datong Town in my memory is still capable of fighting. How come it has deteriorated so quickly in just a few years?

But it is meaningless to say all this now, and Feng Ziying will not say more. Apart from offending people, it is of little value.

“Weiyuan Guards dare not go out to fight, so at least we must defend it. Weiping Fort must not be lost...”

Before Feng Ziying finished speaking, Zhang Huaichang smiled bitterly, "The news came yesterday that Weiping Fort has been captured."

Feng Ziying was speechless and simply stopped talking. She knew nothing about the situation on the front line and it was useless to say more.

"Li Qing has already set off. It is estimated that he has passed Huai Lai by now." Zhang Huaichang then added: "Yang Yuan has ordered the East Road and Beidong Road to mobilize elites to go south and west. In addition, Shanxi Guards The army is also reorganizing,..."

This was said feebly, and Feng Ziying also knew that it would be too late to reorganize when the situation was about to happen. However, when the chaos broke out in southern Shanxi, the guards should have been reorganized long ago. I am afraid that only a part of the guards had been reorganized, which would affect the entire Shanxi Guard. For the military system, this may not be the case.

A few conversations gave Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe some understanding of Feng Ziying's military qualities. It was obvious that Feng Ziying was very familiar with the situation on the Nine Sides. She was worthy of being a general. It's no wonder that she was able to fight in just one year. In a short period of time, the Shaanxi side was taken down. It seems that it is right to arrange for the other party to serve as the right minister of the Ministry of War.

Yuan Keli's appointment as governor of Shanxi was quite reassuring, and Feng Ziying felt a little relieved.

 In previous lives, Yuan Keli's performance in military command ability was remarkable, and he was also more prominent among civil servants. When he went to Shanxi to take charge of the overall situation, Feng Ziying felt that he should be able to control the situation, but the premise was that the court had to give Yuan Keli enough support.

Given the current performance of Datong and Shanxi Second Town, Feng Ziying is even less optimistic about the Shanxi Guard system. A clever woman cannot make a meal without straw. No matter how powerful Yuan Keli is, it is impossible to deal with internal and external enemies with bare hands. The central government should understand this.

"I'm afraid the imperial court still needs to give sufficient support when Mr. Yuan goes to Shanxi. The imperial court must consider the money, food, and troops." She knew that she shouldn't have said this when she came here, but Feng Ziying couldn't help but mention it.

Ye Xianggao and Li Sancai both laughed, "Ziying, we all understand your concerns. This is also something the court is currently discussing. Today you will first talk about the situation in Shaanxi, and then we will talk about the follow-up matters."

Feng Ziying stopped talking and made a report on the situation in Shaanxi during this period. Because this was a situation that she was familiar with, Feng Ziying prepared relevant documents in advance, but she kept talking for half an hour. During this period, the cabinet ministers, Zhang Huaichang and Huang Ruliang also asked some questions, and Feng Ziying answered them one by one.

It should be said that I am very satisfied with Feng Ziying's report to the cabinet, because the reality is here, the situation in Shaanxi has been stabilized, and Puzhou has even been suppressed in advance to prevent the chaos in southern Shanxi from spreading to Shaanxi and Henan. This step can be achieved , what else is there to say?

Also, the drought in Shaanxi this year still exists, but it can make Shaanxi self-sufficient in food without causing the hungry people to become refugees, and the refugees to become chaotic people. This is the greatest success. As for the others, they are all details and do not affect the overall situation.

"Okay, Ziying, we all have a general understanding of the situation in Shaanxi. As you said, Li Tengfang should be able to handle it, so when you return to Beijing this time, the cabinet also has plans to let you serve as the right minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhi Zhi Sheng Yiyi will assist Huaichang in handling the most urgent military affairs at the moment, what do you think?"

All the ministers in the cabinet looked at Feng Ziying. Feng Ziying pondered for a moment before answering Ye Xianggao's question: "I will obey the cabinet's arrangements. It's just that I don't know the current military situation. I'm afraid it will take some time to get familiar with it. Duke Huaichang and Zhi Zhi Brother Sheng is my senior, I should learn from them and do my job well..."

Feng Ziying, an official in her previous life, had experienced countless promotions and transfers like this. In fact, they were similar in the Zhou Dynasty. However, this was the first time she had to face the entire Zhou Dynasty and cabinet ministers to report their duties and obey appointments.

 After the procedure was completed, Feng Ziying no longer stayed at Wenyuan Pavilion. The Minister of War was at Dashi Yongfang outside the palace, so he naturally took up his post there.

However, Dazhou is still very humane. Knowing that Feng Ziying had just come back, he traveled all the way and was given three days off. After three days, he will officially take up his new post.

However, before leaving, Zhang Huaichang took Feng Ziying directly to the Ministry of War and did not let Feng Ziying go home directly. This was because Sun Chengzong had already gone to Liaoxi to take over with Tong Zhongkui. The Ministry of War was empty, and Zhang Huaichang was in urgent need of help.

When they arrived at the Ministry of War, Zhang Huaichang and Feng Ziying talked for more than an hour and simply had dinner in the public house. It was not until Xu Shi that Feng Ziying was able to escape and go home. Moreover, Zhang Huaichang even gave up his words. Although Feng Ziying can take more leave, if something happens, she will still have to send someone to recruit her.

Feng Ziying could only agree with a wry smile, and then she was able to escape.

 When I returned to the house, it was already almost Haishi.

As soon as I entered the door, I was greeted by a large number of held lanterns that lit up the prairie fire. A large number of warblers and swallows were lined up in horizontal rows. The first ones were naturally my mother and my aunt, followed by Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, and behind them. The row is Baoqin, Miaoyu, You Erjie, Yingchun, Xiuyan, Yuanyang, Qingwen, Jinchuan'er, Ping'er, plus Zicuckoo, Ying'er, Siqi, Yunshang, Xiangling and Yuchai. The children and girls lined up on both sides.

In a blink of an eye, Feng Ziying seemed to be slightly drunk. Except for my mother and aunt, this group of people were singing and dancing, and they were full of fat and jade. Is this my harem Fendai?

At this moment, Feng Ziying felt more and more that she must firmly grasp herself. How could she live up to such beautiful scenery and such a life?

When I met my mother and aunt, I naturally pulled Feng Ziying to wipe her eyes and choked with tears. However, it was a great joy to come back safely, and Miaoyu and Xiuyan came back first, with two more in their stomachs, which also made the Duan family happy. They were overjoyed, and with the son Yingchun gave birth to, no one dared to say that the Feng family was in trouble.

The only thing I hope now is that the three main wives, Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu, can also give birth to sons as soon as possible. In that case, the Feng family will really have complete merits.

Accompanying my mother and aunt to the house, Feng Ziying could only use her eyes and eyes to signal to her wives and concubines at this time. Fortunately, everyone was well informed and knew that they could never compete with her mother-in-law at this time. Mother and son have a deep love for each other. , but it would be too ignorant for the wife to make do with it without any interest.

 Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Duan were sensible and knew that all the daughters-in-law were eager to see her. So after talking to Feng Ziying for a while, they went to rest first on the grounds of being tired.

The rest should be the big family of Feng Ziying. After more than a year's absence, it was like a dream. Feng Ziying naturally looked forward to the girls in the house day and night. In front of the girls, she pulled Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu. They spoke one by one, invariably thanking the good wife for working hard at home and serving her mother, and also bowed solemnly, which made Shen, Xuelin and the other three women avoid her in a panic, not daring to bear it.

After the third daughter, Feng Ziying naturally wanted to pick up her good daughter Tong Niang and make love with her. Tong Niang, who had already been able to talk, was a little unfamiliar and fearful before, but as soon as she entered Feng Ziying's arms, she seemed to be able to feel the blood and family affection, and she quickly became more familiar with her. When they became intimate, Feng Ziying was so happy that she couldn't bear to let go.

 After speaking, it was Sister You and Yingchun.

 Baoqin, Miaoyu and Xiuyan had not been separated for long, so they all stood aside knowingly. However, there was a baby in Yingchun's arms, and Feng Ziying naturally wanted to take good care of it.

This trip, Lin Zongzong was busy, and the others finally dispersed. Only Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu were left. It was already Haizheng.

Looking at the three beautiful girls, Feng Ziying picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, letting the warmth slowly seep into her heart, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, "I'm finally home, sitting here. , I feel like I’m home. In Xi’an, I still feel like something is missing, even when I wake up in the middle of the night, I feel empty..."
