Chapter 2279: The Guizi scroll darkened Chen Cang, joi

  Chapter 2279 Guizi scroll darkened Chen Cang, join forces

  Feng Ziying did not play any cover with Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong, and directly revealed the situation of her contact with the Neikha people, and talked about the current situation and her own thoughts.

   "So the mobilization of the Chahar people is very large? Which direction?" Zhang Huaichang looked serious, "How likely is the direction of Xuanfu?"

Feng Ziying smiled wryly. The Nekhka people and the Chahar people are not closely related, and they don’t have much energy to focus on the Chahar people’s movements. It’s good to know a little bit about it, and for this kind of information, we must first pay attention to it. The time limit, and then the specific content, so it is very rare for people to be able to disclose the news to you in advance.

He can understand Zhang Huaichang's nervousness. Jizhen's side is not a big problem. You Shigong is also a veteran in the army. It is not a day or two to deal with the Mongols. Even if the Northern Front Army has transferred a part of Jizhen's army, they have not used their muscles. , he has countermeasures, but Xuanfu Town is hard to say.

Xuanfu Town was almost rebuilt. Although the imperial court was also aware of the danger of the lack of Xuanfu Town, it gave priority to Xuanfu Town, but Sun Shaozu basically took away more than half of the elite in Xuanfu Town, which dealt a great blow to the morale of Xuanfu Town. This is all in the second place, the key is that the general army of Xuanfu has not been able to determine it.

Cao Wenzhao, Ma Chengxun, and Chen Jingxuan have all been brought into the spotlight, but Cao Wenzhao's qualifications are too shallow. Ma Chengxun is because Ye Fang and others have been somewhat jealous of Feng, Li, and Ma, the aristocratic families in the army. Willing to use this kind of local martial arts family children again.

Chen Jingxuan was purely a matter of ability. Letting him serve as the governor of the three sides failed to convince the public and made a mess. This made the court officials have a very bad impression of him. Take over the general army of Xuanfu.

   "It's very big. The Chahar people also have eyeliners in the interior. Is there any reason why they don't know?" Feng Ziying shook her head, "Perhaps Tong Zhongkui should be appointed as the chief soldier of the Xuanfu?"

   "Tong Zhongkui is hard to convince the public. Although Xuanfu Town has hurt its vitality, the rest are not good people. Tong Zhongkui, who came from the local capital, can't be suppressed at all." Zhang Huaichang shook his head decisively.

"Then there is only Ma Chengxun." Feng Ziying sighed, "My lord, I know that the cabinet has concerns about Ma Chengxun, but the two evils are the lesser of two evils. The Ma family is also a martial arts family in our border area. Xun's ability is good, and he is not as domineering as his father, and he is familiar with the situation in Xuanfu. He is now the deputy commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town, so let him take over immediately. In addition, Ma Chengxun can be transferred from Yulin to Xuanfu. It is also a supplement to let Ma Chengxun bring his headquarters from Yulin Town to Xuanfu to enrich Xuanfu Town."

Ma Chengxun is a general in Yulin, and he has two battalions in command. If he can be transferred to Xuanfu Town, it will help Xuanfu Town. If people leave, it will not affect much.

   Zhang Huaichang was a little moved, and asked Sun Chengzong: "Children, what do you think?"

Sun Chengzong knew that the Chinese officials in the court did not have much affection for these martial arts in the border areas. Even if they made countless contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty, once the situation became too difficult to control, they would definitely challenge the system of using literature to control martial arts, so for this kind of martial arts family , is quite vigilant.

  The Feng family also has no taboos in this regard because Feng Ziying has gone as a civil servant and has no brothers, but the Ma family is different.

  There are many children of the Ma family, and Ma Chengxun and Ma Chengxun are the best among them. From Datong to Xuanfu, if the Ma family's power grows stronger in Xuanfu, it will not be the blessing of the court.

  But Feng Ziying’s words are also reasonable. The two evils are balanced and the lesser, and now deal with the past first, and then adjust the Ma family’s children so that they don’t stay in one place for too long. This may suppress them.

"Mr. Huaichang, I think it's okay. Ma Chengxun is used to fighting, and Ma Chengxun is also quite capable. Let him serve as the general of the Xuanfu, and he can stabilize the situation." Sun Chengzong said lightly: "We will talk about the future in the future. There is always a way."

  The three people present here are civil servants, but Feng Ziying's father is nobody, and it is impossible for Feng Ziying to inherit his father as a warrior, so there is no need to be too cryptic about some words.

Feng Ziying also talked about the layout of Liaodong, and proposed to fully support the Nekhka people to control Horqin and protect the Yehe tribe. At the same time, they should consider launching a counterattack from Pidao and Yalu River Estuary, and it is best to retake the Six Forts of Kuandian , from both sides to create trouble for Jianzhou Jurchen, and at the same time deter North Korea.

  This idea was also approved by Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong. Once the Jianzhou Jurchen lost their shackles and controlled the Eastern Mongolian grassland, Liaodong might be in danger.

  No matter how poor the imperial court is, it can still squeeze out supplies of one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver. As long as the people of Nekhka can fight against the Jurchen of Jianzhou, it is definitely worth it.

  The Ministry of War reached a consensus, and Zhang Huaichang reported it to the cabinet.

The efficiency of the cabinet this time is also unusually fast, and there is no discount on the support for the Nekhka people. The cabinet also has disputes over the issue of Ma Chengxun as the general soldier of the Xuanfu, but Qi Yongtai and Li Sancai are still the two. After much deliberation, Ye Fang and the two really couldn't choose a more suitable candidate, and finally agreed to the appointment.

  The news spread like wildfire and quickly spread in Beijing and China.

  When Ma Chengxun got the news, the documents from the Ministry of War had not yet arrived.

   "Brother, what does the Feng family mean?" Ma Chengzong put away the letter and handed it to the thin armored man on the other side, his younger brother Ma Chengxuan.

  Ma Chengxun also stroked his beard and fell silent.

  The Feng family has already gone the way of civil servants, and it is impossible for Feng Ziying to go back to the way of warriors, so Feng Ziying may be showing favor.

However, the imperial court's vigilance and jealousy towards Li, Ma, and Feng's military heroes in the frontiers had its origins. The Feng family was cut off in Feng Ziying's generation, but the Li family and the Ma family were different. The suppression of the Li family and Ma family has been tightened.

Looking at the situation of the Li family in Jiliao, one can see that the future of the Ma family is not optimistic. There are so many children of the Ma family in Jizhen, in Shanxi, and in Yulin, but the children of the Ma family are not allowed to return to Datong. It's because the guerrilla generals have been guarding these positions for many years, and other colleagues have been promoted, but no matter how good the Ma family's performance is, they are also put on hold.

  The Ma family's children are tacit about these situations, and they are even used to it.

  But what if the Ma family's children don't join the army to fight?

   Is it really possible to learn from the Feng family, read a Jinshi, and take the road of civil servants?

It’s not that the Ma family has never tried it. Everyone knows that the civil service path is the brightest and most spacious, but you have to pass the Jinshi exam. There are so many children in the Ma family who have studied. Over the years, there have been a few scholars, but there is one Shit, there is only one candidate, and they all passed the exam in their thirties. It is the most honorable thing to make up a county magistrate.

  So the big guys have given up their minds, and they should honestly eat food and serve as soldiers, and use their military exploits to win over their wives and sons.

  To be honest, Ma Chengxun had long since given up hope of being the chief soldier. He felt that the imperial court would always be stuck in this hurdle and would not let the Ma family's children cross over. The deputy chief soldier was the pinnacle.

Look at Chai Guozhu from Shanxi Town, Yang Yuan from Datong Town, mediocre people like He Shixian from Yulin Town can take over, and Mongols like Qi Bingzhong from Ningxia Town can be the chief soldier, but no one mentions him Ma Chengxun, this is a shame. The bitterness and bitterness made Ma Chengxun want to claim his illness and become an official. However, he is too young, and doing so will only implicate other Ma family children.

"Feng Keng asked someone to bring me a letter when he took office as governor of Shaanxi. He was supposed to meet at Huigou Camp, but the timing was unlucky. I happened to be inspecting military affairs at Bajiao Station, and he was busy crossing the river to go to Shaanxi. So I asked Duan's family to bring me a letter,..."

  Ma Chengzong and Ma Chengxuan's eyes lit up, "What did you say in the letter?"

"The letter didn't say anything else, it just said that I hoped that I would assist Chai Guozhu to rebuild Shanxi Town, and I thought so too, but Chai Guozhu didn't want me to intervene at all, and you all know the situation of the Shanxi capital, the guard system has long been broken Now, since Chai Guozhu won't let me intervene, I don't bother to care about it, but I also wrote to Feng Keng, explaining my difficulties and the whole story." Ma Chengxun said flatly.

"Ah?" Ma Chengzong and Ma Chengxuan were very disappointed. It's a pity that such an opportunity was not seized, but Chai Guozhu held on to the military power very tightly. Except for the people he brought over, it turned out that the people in Shanxi Town were not very popular. Pay attention, let alone the children of the Ma family.

"Later, Feng Keng also wrote back, telling me not to be discouraged, and to pay close attention to the defense of the north, reminding me about Su Nang and Fengzhou Bailian. I also told Chai Guozhu, but Chai Guozhu didn't care too much. Now you have also seen it. , a mess,..." Ma Chengxun spread his hands, "Feng Keng resigned as governor of Shaanxi in September, and he sent another letter, mentioning the civil unrest in southern Shanxi, asking me to take the initiative to quell it, but Chai Guozhu refused to agree, let him I can only give up if I go to my confidant."

   "Since Feng Keng wants you to go, why didn't he write to Chai Guozhu?" Ma Chengzong said indignantly.

"Chai Guozhu had a good relationship with Feng Tang when he was the deputy commander in Jizhen, but after Feng Tang recommended You Shigong as the commander of Jizhen, the relationship deteriorated sharply. Can he command Chai Guozhu? He won't make fun of himself." Ma Chengxun shook his head.

   "Then now...?" Ma Chengxuan asked.

"The situation is definitely different now. It was rumored that Feng Keng went back to serve as Governor of the Shuntian Mansion, but I didn't expect that Yuan Keli would actually serve as the right servant of the Ministry of War when Yuan Keli came to Shanxi. I always thought that Yuan Keli wanted to be the right servant of the Ministry of War. "Ma Chengxun pondered and said: "He wrote twice, it must be a gesture of goodwill, the Feng family can no longer follow the path of warriors, Feng Tang is getting older, and Feng Keng must also hope that a group of soldiers in the army can support him and Ruarm He is the right servant of the Ministry of War to be useful as a military general who uses his fingers,..."

   "No matter what he thinks, it is too much of a favor for him to recommend elder brother to serve as the general soldier of the Xuanfu. Our Ma family has to accept it." Ma Chengzong frowned.

   "Yeah, this feeling is too big, I feel hot." Ma Chengxun smiled wryly, "If I fail, I'm afraid I have to die and die for my country."
