Chapter 2262: Gui Zi Juan sets the tone, opportunity

Zhang Huaichang perked up and said, "Ziying, so the Niuzhuang port terminal at the mouth of the Sancha River is available, and the Northern Front Army can ship Niuzhuang from Yuguan? Are there enough ships?"

From Yuguan to Niuzhuang, it is more than 700 miles. If you walk by land in 20 days, you may not be able to walk down, and you will definitely be exhausted after walking down. But if you go by boat, it will be much easier, and it will take only three days. It can be reached, and all baggage materials can also be transported by ship.

It is four hundred miles from Niuzhuang to Shenyang Zhongwei, and there is still a section of the Sancha River that is navigable. Even though people cannot ride on it, supplies can be transported by ship to Dongchang Fort and then disembarked in Shenyang. There is no need to save a lot of money. Less capacity.

  In other words, if you go purely by land, it will take at least a month to get there, but if you go by ship, you can get to Shenyang Zhongwei within half a month.

"Niuzhuang is no problem. As for the ships used for shipping, it is the simplest. You only need to pay money to mobilize civilian ships from Dagu and Yuguan. How is it different for transporting people and goods? The line from Yuguan to Niuzhuang is the simplest. One ship The ship can easily transport two to three hundred people, and thirty or fifty ships can be easily collected in Dagu and Yuguan. If we cannot find more ships from Denglai, it is easy to transport two to thirty thousand people in one trip."

Feng Ziying said it very easily, but he also knew that this job was still very complicated, and the scheduling and arrangements were quite complicated and delicate. However, this could give Xue Biao a chance, so he did not hesitate to help.

Hearing what Feng Ziying said, Zhang Huaichang felt much more at ease. He understood Feng Ziying's character. If he was not sure, he would not boast like this.

"Is this settled like this?" Zhang Huaichang pondered for a moment, "But we have to guard against the threat of the Chahar people. What I mean is to transport half of it first, exactly one round, and leave half to prevent the Chahar people from making any changes. ."

Both Sun Chengzong and Feng Ziying agreed, but when it came to mobilizing the Northern Front Army to fight, there was still no conclusion, because it also involved the personnel adjustment of the general soldiers in the border town. Although Sun Chengzong gave his opinion, how Cao Wenzhao arranged it, and what if Tong Zhongkui In the past, coordination and arrangements between Zhao Shujiao and Tong Zhongkui in Shenyang were also quite complicated issues.

This kind of problem is not suitable to be studied under the current situation.

However, Yang Sichang's suggestion is still quite innovative. Although they also think that Feng Ziying's view is possible, they are still skeptical about Nurhaci's courage to abandon Hetuala.

 The discussion was broken up, but not much results were produced.

 In addition to confirming that half of the Northern Front Army should be shipped to Niuzhuang quickly, it seems that it was also decided to provide a certain amount of baggage and grain supplies to Shenyang.

 There are also personnel issues.

The view that Zhao led the army to serve as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong was basically unanimous, but Cao Wenzhao still needed to discuss how to arrange it.

"General Denglai can be considered, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to satisfy Cao Wenzhao by giving him a short-term general." Zhang Huaichang rubbed his temples and said a little tiredly.

"It makes sense to slow down the formation of Denglai Town. It is feasible to use Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong to form Denglai Town. The basic strength of 7,000 people will be expanded to 7 battalions with more than 20,000 people next year, and will be established by the end of the following year. For the 12th Battalion, 38,000 men,..." Sun Chengzong was in a good mental state, after all, he was more than ten years younger than Zhang Huaichang.

However, when he saw that Feng Ziying was also yawning profusely, with dark circles under his eyes, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but frown, "Ziying, what's going on? Why do you look more exhausted than an old man like me?"

Zhang Huaichang understood very well and glanced at Feng Ziying: "It is inevitable that Ziying has just come back, but you still have to take care of your body, don't just worry about it like a wolf, you are young and good, but when you get older, you will know the importance of the body and bones."

Sun Chengzong also reacted and blinked with a half-smile: "No wonder, Ziying, you have a three-bedroom family, and you are responsible for continuing the Feng family's incense. I heard that one of your concubines has given birth to a son for you, so in my heart It's time to stabilize, you are still young, take your time with the rest, don't be too eager for success, your health is important."

Faced with the teasing of the two bosses, Feng Ziying waved her hands quickly: "Don't worry, sir. I understand, I'm just too tired from traveling all the way. I was asked to stay up late on the second day of my vacation. It's normal for me to be tired." Right? I will take a good rest at home tomorrow and wait until the three-day holiday is over to make sure I am full of energy and get back to work."

Feng Ziying's words also made Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong laugh, but Zhang Huaichang turned back to the topic: "Ziying must hurry up and make arrangements for the Northern Front Army's crossing the sea. I know that you have close relations with Northland merchants, and there is a great demand for civilian ships. Yuguan, Da Gu and Denglai can be temporarily requisitioned, and the court will pay the freight according to the market price, but someone has to handle the specific matters, so I will leave this matter to you."

Feng Ziying also solemnly agreed.

“And if the Northern Army Corps goes to Shenyang, let Tong Zhongkui go, or arrange for a deputy?” Zhang Huaichang looked at Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong hesitated for a while and finally said: "It's best to let You Shilu go. Tong Zhongkui has just joined the army from the local area and may not be able to adapt quickly."

 “Ke Youshilu and Liaodong...” Zhang Huaichang reminded Sun Chengzong.

"It's not a big problem. As long as Zhao is the commander-in-chief, the people in Liaodong won't have much objection to outside reinforcements. To put it bluntly, if Zhao is the commander-in-chief and Cao Wenzhao is the deputy, Those Liaodong military generals don’t have so much resentment, but how can Cao Wenzhao accept it? So we can only let Cao Wenzhao leave."

Sun Chengzong sighed. These generals are like this. They have strong regional concepts and stick together. If a general with insufficient qualifications and prestige wants to command them, he will undoubtedly encounter various challenges and setbacks. Cao Wenzhao is a typical example.

"Then let Commander You Shilu and the reinforcements of the Northern Front Army follow Zhao's instructions after arriving in Shenyang. In addition, the preliminary material preparation may have to be transported in advance. Ziying, this will still have to be **** you." Zhang Huaichang made the final decision: "It stands to reason. It is said that this should be the matter of the frame department, but who will let you get familiar with those ship owners and ship dealers? Those who can do more work."

 When Feng Ziying returned to the house, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

It was the coldest time, and Feng Ziying couldn't help but shudder when she got out of the car.

He seems to be a lot weaker. The two adults Zhang and Sun reminded him rightly that he should take it easy. However, he has many wives and concubines at home, and he has just come back. How can he be exempt from war? This cannot be saved on face, and it is also a source of instability.

Sighing as he entered the house, Baochai greeted him early in front of the inner courtyard door, "Ms. sir, what's the matter? Is the matter difficult?"

Feng Ziying glanced at Baochai, who had a delicate face and peerless beauty, and couldn't help but want to sigh. Who could bear to face such a lovely wife, who has been away from her for more than a year and throws herself into her arms?

"It's not bad, it's slightly better than the most worried result, but the situation is still very dangerous." Feng Ziying shook her head, "It's not Shanxi, it's Liaodong."

Back in the house, Baochai undressed Feng Ziying again, and saw that Feng Ziying was a little tired, "Then my husband should go to bed and sleep for a while. I haven't slept all night, and I have no energy during the day. Outsiders have seen..."

Before the words came out of his mouth, Baochai felt that he had made a mistake and blushed.

But Feng Ziying smiled: "When outsiders see it, they think it's Baochai who corrodes the bones and makes me unbearable? Don't worry, I'm not that fragile yet. It's normal for me to just come back after a long drought. "

Being teased by her husband's dirty talk, Baochai became even more shy. She couldn't help but punched her husband, "How come my husband has become so glib when he comes back from this trip?"

"I'm telling the truth. I still have Baoqin Miaoyu and Xiuyan in Shaanxi, but I've suffered a lot for you. Now that I'm back, I naturally have to comfort and comfort you..." Feng Ziying hugged Baochai and fell asleep, "It's just that I'm back here. It’s not a worry, it looks like we’re going to have to work hard for a while, and we have to go to Yuguan and Dago, and maybe Denglai.”

Baochai was startled, why did he come and go out now? It's just a trip to Yuguan and Tianjinwei, but it's far away to Shandong.

"This court is so inconsiderate. How can anyone come back and leave again?" Even though Baochai was calm, he couldn't help complaining a little angrily, "My husband is also a minister after all. Isn't there anyone else who can take my place?" A trip?"

"Well, maybe I have to go to Daku and Yuguan in person, and Denglai. It depends on the situation." Feng Ziying paused, "I will send someone to Tianjin immediately tomorrow morning to call Xue Biao back. I have something to explain. "

“Brother Tao?” Baochai asked curiously, “Why are you related to Brother Tao again?”

"This can be regarded as giving you the Xue family a chance. If this job is done well, Brother Tao may not be unable to have the opportunity to become an official. Even if it is a false title, he will have more qualifications in the future." Feng Ziying turned around. Baochai pressed under him, "Well, I won't talk about it for now, let me take good care of my sister..."

With something on his mind, Baochai looked at her sleeping husband, carefully tucked the quilt in, and then asked Ying'er to come in to help her wipe and wash herself, and hurriedly called Baoqin.

After talking about last night's conversation, Bao Qin was overjoyed and wanted to go to Feng Ziying to ask for an explanation, but was stopped by Baochai, saying that Ziying was still sleeping soundly. Bao Qin suddenly understood and whispered with understanding: "Sister, the days are long. Don’t let your husband be too tired. Sister Shen was also telling Daiyu yesterday..."

Baochai blushed like fire and punched Baoqin hard, "Hurry up and arrange for someone to go to Tianjin to call Brother Scorpion back. This matter cannot be delayed. Maybe this is the opportunity for our Xue family to revive in the future. We can no longer count on an imperial merchant." If you are satisfied with your status, you must have higher pursuits.”

The fact that the Xue family is not as good as the Shen and Lin families has always been the biggest regret in Baochai and Baoqin's heart, and it is also a hidden pain. Don’t hesitate to give your full support, even if this is an opportunity given by your husband, you must be able to grasp the opportunity given, right?
