Chapter 2260 The guizi scroll is weak in moves, and the soldiers are in danger

  With Feng Ziying's approval, Yang Sichang also had mixed feelings.

One is to get the approval of the other party, of course I am very happy. Feng Ziying is now recognized by the court as a civil servant who knows the soldiers. It is a rare encounter to be known in the world alongside Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, Xiong Tingbi and others. You must know that Sun, Yuan, and Xiong are three Since the end of Yuanxi Dynasty, he has been regarded as a scholar who is proficient in the art of war and can lead soldiers among civil servants. Feng Ziying has only made his debut for a few years, and has already caught up with these three people, which has to be admired.

On the other hand, I thought that the other party had only passed the Jinshi exam six years ago when I was with him. The direct boss, this gap seems to be getting further and further away.

   "Ziying, it is not that simple to design Nurhachi, and there is a considerable difficulty." Yang Sichang shook his head and looked at Feng Ziying.

  Feng Ziying nodded and smiled slightly, "Li Yongfang?"

  Yang Sichang felt a little frustrated, but he could only nod his head: "Yes, the existence of Li Yongfang has done more harm to Liaodong than the 30,000 Jianzhou Jurchen army!"

  Yang Sichang's words convinced everyone.

  The more time passed, the more people in the military department felt that Li Yongfang, a traitor, had brought great harm to Da Zhou.

This guy has been in Liaodong for too long. He knows all the officials and generals in Liaodong Town, the situation of the army, the city gates, the mountains and rivers. And it's hard to guard against.

"Jianzhou Jurchen knows us very well, but we don't know much about Jianzhou Jurchen. The information collection work of the staff is still seriously behind in this area, and it is far from the requirements of the Ministry of War. It is not only for Jianzhou Jurchen. For the Chahar people, the Tumed people, the Nanjing side, the southwestern chieftain, North Korea, Japan, Uzbek, and Yarkand, intelligence collection is superficial, which greatly restricts the ability of the Ministry of War to make arrangements for war With little room for foresight, you can only see things and struggle with them, and you are tired of coping,..."

Yang Sichang started to show off again, Feng Ziying secretly smiled wryly, this guy let himself go a little bit again, Zhang Huaichang, and his immediate boss Yuan Huazhong were still present, the last staff secretary was Yuan Keli who had already served as the governor of Shanxi. There are a lot of colleagues in the office, many of them are old subordinates of Yuan Keli, so they criticize with such a big fanfare, okay?

Originally, Yang Sichang Qingyun went up to the staff department to become Yuanwailang, which caused a lot of criticism from the original directors of the staff department. Now that you have only come here not long ago, you don't want to improve the relationship with your colleagues. If you make such a fuss, you will be able to benefit from this guy in the future accepted.

   This guy's EQ is really awesome.

  Yuan Huazhong's face was gloomy, but he was quite stable, but his colleagues in other departments couldn't bear it.

"Wen Ruo's words are wrong. It's not that the official department has no arrangements for various places, but the problem of Li Yongfang is not the problem of the official department, but the huge hidden danger left by Li Chengliang. For this reason, the official department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have reported to the court Warnings were raised, but not heeded,…”

"Exactly, Mr. Feng may not be clear about the amount of appropriation that the staff has received in the past few years, but Mr. Zhang knows it well, and Mr. Sun is even more clear. It is easier said than done, especially in Jurchen and Mongols. It is of course easy to develop a news report inside, and it is easy to turn over the mouth. To develop and buy, it will not be achieved overnight, but the staff department can do it, but the Ministry of Households needs to allocate funds. The Ministry sent it to the Ministry of Accounts without any discount, but what about the Ministry of Accounts? We never thought about the full amount. Discount is inevitable, but it is not a 20% discount, nor a 50% discount, or even a 30% discount, but One discount, one discount, we reported that we need 500,000 taels of silver, but when the transfer came, it was only 50,000 taels of silver, what do you want us to do?"

  The principals of the two consecutive staff departments expressed their dissenting speeches, especially the second one, which was so eloquent that it was almost like saying that the national thief was in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

  Feng Ziying is indeed not very clear about the inside story here, but in any case, 50,000 taels of silver is only a mere 50,000 taels of silver a year for a military department to develop an intelligence network outside the territory, which is really appalling.

  According to Feng Ziying's vision, the investment in the establishment of the Jianzhou Jurchen intelligence system and intelligence collection alone should not be less than 100,000 taels of silver per year.

  This is the lowest line, it is best to reach 150,000 to 200,000 taels.

  The Chahar and Tumet Mongolian tribes should not be less than 100,000 taels, and the Japanese and Korean families needed 20,000 to 30,000 taels of silver.

  Wuszang and Yarkand can take a break, but many tasks need to be started early, and it is necessary to invest tens of thousands of taels of silver every year to start laying the foundation.

In other words, if the foreign intelligence collection system of the Staff Party Division is really established and maintained to play a normal role, the bottom line is to invest 500,000 taels of silver a year. Silver or more.

But maybe I can only think about it now. I didn’t hear the chief executive just now say that it’s 50,000 taels of silver a year, and it’s estimated to be 20,000 taels of silver at the most in Liaodong. Now the chief executive is still in Nanjing. But what can twenty thousand taels of silver do?

I think back when the Nekhka people invaded and the virus went to the doctor indiscriminately, in order to make the Nekhka people retreat and redeem those captured officers from the Beijing camp, money was spent like running water, one or two thousand taels of silver without blinking an eye It was thrown out, but how important this department is, there is only 50,000 taels of information development and collection funds, how can this be done?

  According to the practice of the Ministry of War, the Shangshu is in charge of the overall affairs, the Secretary Department is under the direct management of the Shangshu, the left servant is in charge of the military selection department and the car driving department, and the right servant is in charge of the official department and the arsenal department, as well as the Huitongguan and the customs clearance.

That is to say, Shangshu is in charge, Zuo Shilang is in charge of personnel, chariots, horses and military equipment, and at the same time, he is also in charge of the security affairs in the imperial city. The command is also agreed upon by the emperor and the Ministry of War, and Zuo Shilang is mainly responsible for this aspect.

The right servant is in charge of combat, intelligence, and preparation of weapons and armor. The right servant is responsible for the hard work and dirty work. This is why it is often necessary to add the title of the right servant when you go out to go to war or serve as a governor, that is, let you go Do these jobs.

  Feng Ziying changed from the false title of the right servant of the Ministry of War to a full-time right servant, which means that you have changed from doing those jobs part-time to full-time now.

  Yang Sichang's face was a bit ugly. He didn't expect that his colleagues would fight back as soon as he opened his mouth. Although he didn't point to himself explicitly, the disapproval attitude in his words was palpable.

"The Jurchens in Jianzhou are a huge threat. There is no need to explain. The current situation is enough to explain a lot. It is a fact that the staff department is short of funds, but this is not the reason for the lack of information collection on the Jurchen. Of course, the staff department must communicate with the Ministry. The Ministry strives for enough funds, but in the case of insufficient funds, can it be considered to focus on the current enemy, temporarily occupying and embezzling other funds to meet the needs? Isn’t it okay? The price may be dozens or hundreds of times!"

   If you continue to argue like this, you will deviate from the topic.

  Feng Ziying also thinks that Yang Sichang is talented, but his emotional intelligence is low, or he has not suffered setbacks yet. What are we discussing today? I'm here to discuss the military affairs of Liaodong.

  Now you are a foreigner who does not put forward opinions and countermeasures according to the topic, but keeps chattering about your own problems, and on the other hand, you are still arguing with your colleagues. How can this approach satisfy your boss and convince your colleagues?

Seeing that both Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong were frowning, Feng Ziying could only interrupt and intervene: "We are weak, we will discuss the issue of the staff's funds. Let's talk about today's topic first. Just now, Master Shangshu asked you about the current situation in Liaodong. What suggestions do you have?" ?”

Only then did Yang Sichang realize that he was off topic, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "We must ensure the Shenyang Zhongwei, but if we want to defend the Shenyang Zhongwei, the Puhe and Fushun must be defended, but the Juniper Department must be brought back. The First World War is not easy to fight. The lower officials are considering whether they can concentrate their forces on the side of Fushun Station and Fushun Pass to destroy the Daishan Department. The east flank of the fort was exposed, forcing the Jianzhou army on the east side of the Panhe station on the road to move eastward, using the line of Sanchaer Fort and Hoi'an Fort to fight a battle, and even going east out of Fushun Pass to fight. .”

Sun Chengzong understood, "Wen Ruo, what you mean is that we don't follow Nurhachi's intention, but he beats his and we beat ours, and let the Juniper Department stand firm, while we concentrate our main force to annihilate the Daishan Department, and even fight Go to Fushun Pass?"

"Yes." Yang Sichang nodded vigorously, "That's what it means, otherwise if we go north to open up the Zhulusuo and Fanhesuo, we will only fall into his trap. , and even use the forces on the east and west wings to choose fighters with ease to annihilate our northward army."

   "Wen Ruo, to achieve your goal, Cao Wenzhao and his troops are far from enough." Feng Ziying certainly understands that the key is to speak directly.

   "So we need to mobilize the Northern Front Corps to go all out to support." Yang Sichang was full of confidence.

  Feng Ziying was noncommittal.

Theoretically, it seems that Yang Sichang's suggestion is feasible. Going out of Fushun Pass in the east will threaten Hetuala, the old nest of Jianzhou. Nurhachi dare not ignore it, but there are still many problems to be solved in order to achieve this goal. One is the Northern Front Army The problem of mobilization time and route, the second is the problem of supply, and the third is if Nurhachi has the strength to follow his own preset route, what should he do?
