Chapter 2591: Every step of the Guizi scroll is fright

  Chapter 2591 The Guizi scroll is startling every step of the way, and the plan is big

  When Feng Ziying returned to the mansion, she didn't go back to her side, but went straight to the East Mansion.

  Although the East and West Mansions have become part of the Feng Mansion, in fact only the backyard, that is, the Grand View Garden and the Huifang Garden are connected, but the front is still separate.

  Feng Ziying and his family took over the entire original Rongguo Mansion, that is, the area to the west, while Ningguo Mansion, or the area to the west, became the residence of Feng Tang and the big and small Duan, Su, and Xie families.

Dad seems to have a very leisurely life now, he goes out for a walk every day, um, he just goes for a walk around the Governor’s Mansion of the Five Armies. Take a walk at the gate of the military department over there, if you can meet a few acquaintances, let's talk together and join in the fun.

   But even this kind of life, Feng Tang was not used to it, and later he simply took Feng Zuo and Feng You to walk around Ji Town and the fortress on the other side of Xuanfu from time to time.

Whether it is Xuanfu Town, where You Shigong is new, or Ji Town, where Yang Yuan is now, there are a large number of old subordinates and old acquaintances, and the old boss came, and the son of the old boss was just promoted from the right servant of the Ministry of War. As the censor of Youdu, and even about to take up the post of governor of Jiliao soon, he was naturally warmly received.

"A prince Teng came to see me today." Without going around in circles with his son, Feng Tang motioned his son to take a seat, and said directly: "This guy's ambition is still alive, I always feel that it's not a good thing, I have to make something happen Come to give up."

"If he is really willing to stop, then I'm really going to be suspicious. Didn't I just give him some hope when I persuaded him?" Feng Ziying didn't care much, or was not surprised. Could it be easily subdued?

   "It seems that you still know him well. I'm still wondering why I am so angry and lustful at such an advanced age?" Feng Tang shook his head.

   "Father, it seems that you haven't completely let go of it like you said, completely relieved." Feng Ziying laughed instead, "Why don't you keep running around Xuanfu and Jizhen?"

   "Wang Ziteng still brought a message. What you said to him, will it succeed? Or will it be fulfilled?" Feng Tang looked at his son, "What did you say to him?"

"I didn't say anything, he was just unconvinced how to fight the world, the warriors charged forward and died countless times, now the world is peaceful, the warriors just abandon it like a pair of shoes, and questioning the law of using literature to control martial arts is not appropriate at the moment, It is said that the reason why Zhao Song used the method of controlling the martial arts to consolidate the Zhao family's throne was because Zhao Kuangyin was not in the right position, so he was worried that the warriors would follow suit, so he used literati to rule the army and suppress the warriors. ..."

   Seeing his son speak casually, Feng Tang was also surprised, "What did you promise him?"

"What can my son promise? I only say that times change. Maybe it is suitable now, but it may not be suitable in a few years. The army needs specialization, generals also need specialization, and wars need specialization. Constant changes and adjustments are required, and civil servants should focus on logistical support and large-scale strategic planning when governing the army. The real war should be handed over to more professional warriors, but I have emphasized that the specialization of warriors also requires continuous accumulation and improvement. Yes, now with the rapid promotion and use of firearms, the strategy and tactics of the original cold weapon era have become less and less suitable for the situation, and warriors also need to keep pace with the times and improve themselves..."

Feng Tang shook his head, "Wang Ziteng is not like what you said. He mentioned to me the meaning of civil and military division, and talked about the necessity and importance of the Privy Council and the Metropolitan Governor's Office specializing in military affairs. I ignored him. "

"Hmph, it seems that Wang Ziteng really can't sit still. Whether it's the Privy Council or the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the key lies in the qualitative status of the warriors. If this problem is not resolved, the conflict will always exist. He will not be a country, he is still too one-sided."

Feng Ziying thought for a while, "If he asks again, my father might as well tell him that I have my own ideas and realization paths, and rushing for success will only waste speed. If he trusts me, he can wait with peace of mind. I would naturally ask him for help when I was in trouble, but now it’s pointless to frantically fumble around.”

  Feng Tang knew that his son was no longer Amon under Wu, and his considerations were probably more profound and careful than his own. All he could do was to remind his son not to rush Meng Lang as much as possible. This was related to the fate of Feng's family.

"Ziying, you are an adult, and you don't need to say anything for your father. You should think carefully before doing anything. It's not easy for you to get all this now. It's good that you have ambition, but you need to take it step by step..." Feng Tang sighed With a sigh of relief, it is best to hit the drum without a heavy hammer.

  He knew very well that Wang Ziteng, Niu Jizong and his son had some kind of tacit understanding, otherwise the Xuanfu army and Denglai army would not have surrendered so easily.

It is self-evident that Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong had control over the two armies at that time, and most of the high-ranking generals were single-handedly promoted by Niu Wang. How could it be so easy to surrender without firing a shot because of the unfavorable battle? ?

   Even Niu and Wang took the initiative to disarm and return to the fields, and came to the five-army governor's mansion to drink tea with themselves. With their personalities, it would be unreasonable if they didn't have some private discussions with their son.

Niu and Wang probably hope to restore the status of warriors in the imperial court. It is best to be like the original Zhou Liguo. Fighting is only done by warriors, and the governor's mansion is rebuilt. The leadership and command of the army by the Ministry of War focus on personnel and logistics. Training, mobilization, and fighting are decided by the Metropolitan Government.

However, there is a problem here. The Metropolitan Government has always been under the direct control of the emperor. Under the trend that even the control of the Shangsanqin Army and the Beijing Camp has been taken over by the cabinet, it is unimaginable to expect to rebuild a Metropolitan Government. Unless the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is under the direct control of the cabinet, where does this put the Ministry of War?

  ******

   "Yongfang, did the news come back?" Nurhachi stood at the head of Shenyang City, looking to the southwest, without the slightest joy and excitement after the victory, but instead, deep worry and exhaustion.

"Well, the news from Sanbeile and mine are basically the same. That's true. Except for Feng Keng as governor of Jiliao, the news from other channels is that Feng Keng has returned to Beijing for a while, but I have never set off to Liaodong, but have frequently met with officials from various ministries of the imperial court, as well as business representatives from various places,..."

   Li Yongfang's forehead was also covered with wrinkles. Obviously, Feng Ziying's failure to come to Liaodong immediately aroused his vigilance.

"The censor of the right capital is also the governor of Jiliao, but he no longer serves as the right servant or the left servant of the Ministry of War. What does this mean?" Nurhachi turned his head and asked Li Yongfang: "If he doesn't serve as the minister of the Ministry of War, can he mobilize other troops? "

Li Yongfang smiled wryly, "Maybe Da Khan doesn't know much about the rules of the Great Zhou court. The left and right censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all officials of the second rank. In fact, they are already on the same level as the Minister of the Ministry of War. The status of the capital censor of the court is very special among the officials in the court. He has the privilege of investigating and punishing all officials in the military and government. Qi Yongtai is already the chief minister of the cabinet, it can be said that he is now in full swing and in power, if he comes to Liaodong, no one would dare to oppose and disobey his orders, no matter whether it is a civil servant or a general."

"Hmph, so, if he comes to Liaodong, he might twist the troops of Liaodong, Dongjiang and even Jizhen into a single rope, and become our most dangerous enemy in Jianzhou?" Nurhachi's eyes became a little more stern, " Last time we suffered a big loss, this time it was all thanks to Yongfang's years of management, and he was caught in an internal war, so we could take Shenyang all at once, but now this dangerous enemy has come again, and we have to face another Perhaps a more powerful enemy, Yongfang, what do you think we should do?"

  Li Yongfang also felt a headache.

It turned out that when Feng Tang was still the governor of Jiliao, he felt that Feng Tang's sophistication was far better than that of pure warriors such as Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Shuangjiao, and he was no less than Li Chengliang back then. Dare to lie dormant, dare not act rashly.

   But I didn't expect that Feng Keng was as sophisticated as his father, and even more ruthless.

  The more important thing is that this guy is a civil servant, and he also has the identity of the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Coupled with the prestige accumulated in the last battle of Liaodong, this is almost the king of Liaodong.

  Now, none of the civil and military officials in the land of Liaodong dare to violate his will.

  Once he is condensed together, this battle will be difficult to fight. Even if he still has some insiders in the Liaodong Army, but in this atmosphere, he may not dare to act rashly, and there are not so many opportunities.

"Khan, we are now on the defensive. What is more important is to gain time and slowly digest the towns and population we just captured. This is the most important thing. We can no longer lightly start the war with Da Zhou. After thinking about it, Li Yongfang reluctantly responded: "Feng Keng's visit this time, if the battle is about to start, the time is not suitable, and the Liaodong Army has suffered a lot, so it may not have the fighting spirit to take the initiative to fight. We still have the advantage in this point. "

"I understand, that's exactly what I'm worried about." Nurhachi let out a long breath, "If Feng Keng came to Liaodong non-stop, he was going to have a decisive battle with us. They beat us, can they supply food and supplies? But have you noticed that Feng Keng only met officials and businessmen blindly in the capital, but did not come to Liaodong in a hurry. This is what I am most worried about. The plan is great."
