Chapter 2576 Gui Zi Juan changes the situation and has a hearty battle

When Feng Ziying received the news from Liaodong, she was actively preparing for a battle against the rebels in the central part of the country.

After wiping out the rebels in the east, he immediately went to the Zhending line in person. Both wings were the areas where the rebels were most active. Only Zhending County, the prefectural government, was still in the hands of the official army.

 As the situation in Baoding, Hejian and Shuntian Prefecture became increasingly stable, the solution to the situation in the central region was put on the table.

After a brief rest, the Beijing camp began to move south. This also made the rebel army become nervous and actively shrink. They abandoned Huolu and Jingjing counties in the west and Boye and Li counties in the north, and retreated south to Yuanshi. , Luancheng and Anping, Raoyang.

The main area of ​​the middle route rebels is still centered on Jinzhou, Shulu, and Shenzhou, including Gaocheng in the west, Shenze, Anping, and Raoyang in the north, Hengshui, Wuyi, Jizhou, and Xinhe in the south, and of Wu Qiang.

This area is quite large, and the southwest is already close to the southern rebels.

 Because the scope is quite large, where to start is also a question.

However, after the war in the east ended, Feng Ziying had great confidence in her heart. Although the White Lotus Rebellion seemed very powerful and even influential locally, its weakness in combat effectiveness was self-evident. If they want to engage in a head-on battle with the border troops, they are no match for them. Perhaps their only chance is to engage in guerrilla warfare and constantly deal with the border troops to bring them down.

 But this is very difficult for the White Lotus Sect to achieve.

Yes, there are indeed many people in the countryside who are inclined to the White Lotus Sect, but there are more people who are opposed to the White Lotus Sect, or who are worried that the chaos caused by the White Lotus Sect will affect their interests.

Over the past year or so, the White Lotus Sect has been running around without bringing them any benefits. Instead, they have been constantly apportioning and asking for things, causing them great annoyance.

Now that the official army has begun to move south in a large scale after annihilating the eastern rebels, many local gentry have realized that if they do not make a decision as soon as possible, they will probably end up together.

Their houses, shops, and fields are all here. Bandits are passing by like combs, and soldiers are passing by like grates. If the two sides continue to fight here, I am afraid that the entire place will be completely destroyed in a year.

 After receiving a secret letter from King Zhongshun, Feng Ziying understood that the countdown to Ye Xianggao's chief assistant had begun.

After he has dealt with the rebellion in the central part and Sun Chengzong comes to replace him, he may have to go to Liaodong to fight what may be his most difficult and dangerous battle in a long time. He will eliminate the Jurchens in Jianzhou and completely restore a stable situation in Liaodong. Qi Yongtai will take over as the chief assistant. , will give themselves the greatest and continuous support until the Jianzhou Jurchen threat is completely eliminated.

This is not a goal that can be achieved in two or three years. It may be calculated in five years. But once this goal is achieved, Feng Ziying estimates that she can consider joining the cabinet.

Not only did King Zhongshun write, but also the Shanshan-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce and Jiangnan merchants, as well as Guan Yingzhen, Qiao Yingjia, and Chai Ke.

 Personnel changes in the DPRK are always the most sensitive topic.

Once Ye Xianggao resigns, the cabinet will definitely undergo major changes.

Fang Congzhe may also become an official. He is not too young, over sixty, and his health is not very good.

Gu Bingqian may serve as the second assistant, while Li Sancai will be promoted to the third position.

Logically speaking, Li Sancai's cabinet qualifications are much higher than Gu Bingqian's.

 Gu Bingqian belonged to the "Imperial Party" in the early stage, and his impression among scholars was not very good. He had only been in the cabinet for more than a year, and he still felt that he was not qualified to be a secondary assistant.

Li Sancai has been in the cabinet for many years, and has also served as governor of water transportation and minister of the Ministry of Industry. He has very senior qualifications. Compared with Gu Bingqian, he obviously has an advantage.

But Gu Bingqian was a well-behaved person. After realizing that the discord between Emperor Yonglong and the cabinet was getting deeper, he began to keep a distance. Then after Emperor Yonglong was assassinated, he took the initiative to move closer to Ye Fang. In view of the relatively harmonious relationship, the more important thing is that Gu Bingqian is from Kunshan, South Zhili, and a scholar from the south of the Yangtze River.

With Qi Yongtai as the first assistant, if the second assistant is also from the north, it will be difficult for the Jiangnan scholars to accept.

From Li Sancai's point of view, he also has a fatal flaw, that is, as a northerner, he has always been clinging to the Jiangnan scholars. In the eyes of many northern scholars, he is a man who lives in Cao's camp and whose heart is in Han. character, so although he was admired by Ye Fang and his two colleagues, he was not popular among the northern scholars who were supposed to be his base.

In this way, Ye Fang wanted to become an official, and Li Sancai wanted to be a junior assistant, but he was not a Jiangnan scholar, so it was in vain and he was subordinate to Gu Bingqian. This is why Gu Bingqian returned to the capital anxiously in the first place. The reason why I am willing to stay in Nanjing for one more day.

It is possible that one of Tang and Mu will no longer serve as a cabinet minister. To make up for this, one of the retiring cabinet ministers may become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel or the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

 For the two of them, this is not an unacceptable arrangement.

At present, their status in the cabinet is very marginalized. There is no department assigned to them directly, and they are regarded more as consultants. This makes Tom and Mu feel very uncomfortable.

 So such an exchange condition is not unacceptable. Of course, there must be a department with real power in exchange.

 In his place, Huang Ruliang and Guan Yingzhen entered the cabinet.

Huang Ruliang is from Fujian and can be regarded as a direct descendant of Ye Xianggao's township party. He is also the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so it is natural for him to join the cabinet.

It makes sense that the Huguang scholars did not have a representative among the cabinet ministers. Qi Yongtai should also have some kind of tacit understanding and commitment to the Huguang scholars, saying that Guan Yingzhen had sufficient qualifications. Yongtai's alliance relationship and joining the cabinet are also a matter of course.

The cabinet may return to the state of six cabinet ministers, two scholars from the north, Qi Yongtai and Li Sancai, three scholars from the south of the Yangtze River, Gu Bingqian, Tang Binyin, Huang Ruliang, one scholar from Huguang, and Guan Yingzhen.

Of course, all this is Feng Ziying’s judgment based on the information mentioned in letters from various parties. There are also great variables here, and he can only make a rough assessment.

But all this has nothing to do with him. What he needs now is to fight the battle to solve the central rebellion. Ma Kongying, Ma Jinbao, Tu Wenxiu and others are all working hard, hoping to achieve something in this battle. Performance.

After the hearty blow, Feng Ziying couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. Xiang Ling next to her leaned timidly on her side and pulled the thin quilt over to cover the half-conscious Ling Guan who was lying on his back with his legs curled up. Private part, whispered: "Master, please be gentler, the senior official has only been broken for a few days,..."

He glanced sideways at the little woman-like woman curled up in her arms. The rouge mark on her eyebrows seemed to have become more eye-catching after the love affair. She had soft and lovely dimples, fair and smooth skin, and a slender and delicate figure. , all show that this girl is now in the best golden age of a woman.

 This girl was the first to follow him, and the first to lose her virginity. However, after following Baochai, the chances of falling in love with him became much less.

However, this girl seems to be very happy with her fate. She holds a book and recites Tang poetry and Song lyrics every day, or asks Shen Yixiu, Lin Daiyu, Tanchun and others for advice. She is quite liked by the people in the house.

He couldn't help but reach into the quilt and play with Xiang Ling's body. Xiang Ling didn't expect that he would be inflamed. He had been tortured enough before, and now it was obvious that the senior officer could not bear to fight anymore. Xiang Ling said hurriedly: "Master, I can't bear it anymore. How about I go call Xue Yan over?"

"I haven't done anything to you, so why can't I bear it anymore?" Feng Ziying moved her palms on Xiang Ling's smooth back and hips, "Have you ever seen an old man risking his whole life to give you all the pleasure you have today? Xiang Ling, you are not enough. Dedicated."

Although Xiang Ling was dumbfounded, she also knew that Feng Ziying was joking with her, but Lang Jun's clutches were wreaking havoc on her body. She gasped slightly and said, "You are like this today, but what good news is there? Could it be that you are going back to Beijing?"

Feng Ziying didn't expect that this stupid girl's intuition was so sharp, so she smiled: "I've only been out for a few days, and I'm going back to Beijing? The war is fierce, where can I go back?"

"I just think that today's master is very different. He makes me want to die, and I can't bear it. If I had known, I should have let Xue Yan wait..." Xiang Ling felt that Lang Jun's big hands were playing with hers again. The body naturally understood the meaning, and could only endure the shame and cater to...

“Xueyan is worse than her grandma in terms of posture, and not as good as you. Come on...”

The joy was endless. After a long night of fighting, Feng Ziying was still in good spirits. When Xueyan came to wait for her to get up, wash and change clothes, she was stunned when she saw the two girls sleeping in a deep sleep.

I don’t know why this man is so excited. Fortunately, I took a day off yesterday, otherwise I don’t know what he would have been like.

The generals were also waiting early, and Feng Ziying also quickly came up with the battle plan that had been brewing for many days based on the intelligence obtained.

It is actually simple to say, it is a combination of virtual and real, attacking from the east and attacking from the west. The Jingying and Jizhen armies set up two attack fronts on the left and right. To the east is a 20,000-strong army led by You Shilu, attacking from Lixian and Suning. This direction is approaching Raoyang, while to the west, the Jingying camp has launched a three-pronged attack on Gaocheng, Wuji, and Jinzhou.

But the real punch was on the Xuanfu Army. Feng Ziying’s task for Ma Kongying was to take advantage of the inconsistency in political orders between the White Lotus Rebel Army in the center and the White Lotus Rebel Army in the south, and launch an offensive from five directions with the help of Jingying and Jizhen. Under pressure, Ma Kongying wanted to lead 6,000 elite Xuanfu troops to pass between Zhaozhou and Jinzhou, attack Shulu, and capture the logistics center of the central rebel army.

Feng Ziying gave Ma Kongying one and a half days to reach the two hundred miles in between. At the same time, he transferred all the horses of the Xuanfu army to Ma Kongying, asking him to control Shulu in one fell swoop, regardless of horse power.

Not only must the logistical supplies of the central rebels be eliminated, but the Xuanfu infantry following up must also block the possibility of the central rebels escaping south.

This may be his last battle as the governor of Hebei. Feng Ziying is not so particular. He wants to use the army to death, and at the same time he also wants to do a great service to the people he leads. It depends on what they can do. Can't catch it.
