Chapter 2321: People from the south of the Yangtze Riv

Chapter 2321 Gui Zi Juan People coming from the south of the Yangtze River, the people's hearts are slightly moved

 All kinds of complicated things poured into her mind, leaving Feng Ziying in a daze.

As soon as he returned home, Wang Wenyan spent an hour giving a report on the internal and external situation in the past few months. He poured it into Feng Ziying's head, making Feng Ziying a little dizzy.

Having been on the boat for a day and a night, plus the bumpy journey back, I was really tired, so I simply fell asleep after listening to it, not bothering to think about anything.

I had a very good sleep this time, and now I can just lie in bed and think aimlessly.

Feng Ziying is not sure whether the current situation in the DPRK is good or bad. It seems that the situation in Shaanxi and Liaodong has been calmed down by herself. Although there are still some hidden dangers in Liaodong, Feng Ziying feels that Nurhaci will have to go back and lick it in the short term. Just lick the wound.

The overall situation in Sichuan has been decided. In Shanxi, it seems that Yuan Keli has barely controlled the situation. On the Xuanfu side, the Chahar people's offense does not seem to have the effect they want. Ma Chengxun's performance is passable, but Feng Ziying is always worried. This line is too tight. Once the White Lotus Sect breaks out in the mainland, the Chahar people who have been harassing them will be a serious problem that may stab their waists and bleed at any time.

 Speaking of the troops coming to cover up the water and the earth, the Zhou Dynasty still seemed to have ample military strength, but Feng Ziying also knew that the imperial court's financial resources were no longer able to support such a large-scale war.

While he was still in Liaodong, he received a letter from the Cabinet, the Ministry of War and the Qi Division. There was only one implication: to end the war as soon as possible and stabilize the situation. The Nanjing issue must be resolved first, and the situation in Liaodong must not be allowed to evolve into a crisis or become a quagmire for Nanjing. There is an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In his letter, Master Qi also anxiously mentioned that the imperial court’s financial resources may be really stretched, and even the salaries of officials in the central and northern Zhili prefectures have begun to be in arrears.

 What makes Feng Ziying a little strange is that she seems to have suggested to Master Qi about selling national bonds. However, it seems that Master Qi may have understood it, but Ye Fang and others still find it difficult to accept it.

 But is it really impossible for Dad to break through the defense line of Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu? Did Wang Ziteng's 30,000 Denglai troops marching north across the river have such a great restraining effect?

 Does Dad have any other ideas? Or does Chen Jixian have any tacit understanding with his father?

But his father didn't seem to mention this in his letter to him, which also made Feng Ziying puzzled. He became increasingly confused about his father's operations. Maybe his father deliberately kept him from knowing, so as not to expose it. Whereabouts?

Just as Feng Ziying was lying on the bed and thinking hard, the door creaked and a candlelight came in. "Master, are you awake?"

"How long have I been sleeping? What time is it now?" Feng Ziying entered the city at about ten o'clock, and was delayed by Wang Wenyan for another hour. She didn't even eat lunch, so she went to sleep alone. Looking at the sky outside, it was already dark, and she guessed that at least I slept for more than three or four hours.

 “It’s already the time of Xu.” It was the voice of Yuanyang.

Feng Ziying did not move, looking at the duck-oval face by the candlelight, her tender eyes falling on herself, then she put the candlestick in a corner, and then came over to tuck the corners of the quilt for herself.

"I went to bed after having no use for lunch. I looked tired and slept until now. Several grandmothers came to see me. Seeing that I was sleeping so soundly, they couldn't bear to disturb me. They told me to take good care of you. Let them know when you wake up."

It was only then that Feng Ziying realized that she was sleeping in the study. No wonder Shen Yixiu and the others came over to sleep in the study on their first day back home. It was probably hard for them to accept it.

At this time, Feng Ziying felt empty in her belly and extremely hungry and thirsty.

"Don't tell me, I'm really hungry, but I don't want to get up, Yuanyang, what should I do?" Feng Ziying stood up, leaned against the bed and stretched, "I won't go to their place tonight. It’s a good idea to take a rest here for the night and go get some drinks and food, and I’ll eat right here.”

Yuanyang was stunned for a moment, "Master is eating here? Grandma and the others are over there..."

Feng Ziying laughed, "Then where do you think I should go? Today is the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, so it's not appropriate to go anywhere, so it's best for you to accompany me, Yuanyang."

Yuanyang's face suddenly turned red, he glared at Feng Ziying, pouted and went out.

A bowl of bijing porridge, a plate of lotus root powder and cinnamon sugar cake, a plate of crab meat steamed dumplings, a plate of chicken fat rolls, a plate of pigeon eggs in broth, four slices of smoked venison breast, and a bottle of chicken milk to relieve fatigue and help sleep. Immortal mash.

In the past few months, I have been used to eating coarse tea and light rice. In addition, I was hungry today. Looking at a table with full color and fragrance, Feng Ziying felt that he could not help but flush.

It is difficult to go out for one day, but it is good to be at home for a thousand days. Comparing the two, it is no wonder that everyone wants to stay at home, and no one wants to travel far away for business.

  Seeing Feng Ziying wolfing down a table full of food in three strokes, Yuanyang was dumbfounded: "What's going on, sir? Didn't you have a full meal after you went out?"

Feng Ziying took the hot towel and wiped her face and mouth with satisfaction, then leaned comfortably on the bedside, "Drinking ice and lying in the snow, forgetting to eat and sleep. With such a haggard mind, how can I still have the energy to think about other things? And in the face of the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers pressing down, When you are on the same bed, you can fight with swords anytime and anywhere. Even if you have dragon liver and phoenix marrow, you can't eat it. After the battle, you still have to clean up the aftermath and set up defenses. The court is pressing hard and has no time to think about anything else. …”

Looking at Feng Ziying's thin face with some distress, Yuanyang first packed up his things and handed them to the little maid outside the door to take away. Then he came in lamely, leaned against the edge of the Kang and sat down, " I have lost a lot of weight, so I should be careful about my health. There is no suitable person outside to take care of me..."

"I'm going to fight. It's not like going to Shaanxi. I'm going directly to the battlefield to command the army. How can I take you and Jin Chuan'er with me?" Feng Ziying laughed, "But I finally won this battle. I have an explanation for the battle, and I have given an explanation to the court."

"By the way, Sir, several groups of people came in the afternoon, all from the imperial court. I said that I was still asleep and wanted to wake me up, but they all said no. They just said that I would go directly to the cabinet tomorrow. The old men want to see me..." Yuanyang passed on the message from the concierge at the front door, "There are also a few people from Jiangnan..."

“Where is it from Jiangnan?” Feng Ziying was surprised, “Where is it from Jiangnan?”

Yuanyang was also confused by Feng Ziying's question and blinked, "This servant doesn't know. The concierge only knew that the other party claimed to be from Jiangnan. He thought he was from some chamber of commerce in Jiangnan, but the other party was unclear, so... "

Feng Ziying's heart moved slightly, someone from Jiangnan? Nanjing, Yangzhou, or are some people unable to sit still?

Today I have to do a little less. I just sorted out my thoughts and will resume tomorrow.
