Chapter 411 C character involved in the cabinet

  Feng Ziying didn't have that much time to think about his own rewards. His mind was now occupied by the sea of ​​intense discussions and negotiations—the strategy of borrowing money.

"Master Zhang, I understand what you mean. Master Chai sent you a letter before leaving, and I was also entrusted by Master Chai to convey his meaning to you. The nine borders' food and salary must be the most important thing, but there must be some emphasis, Ji Liao , especially Liaodong must continue to increase investment, students can understand, but there is no need for Xuanda and Jizhen,..."

Feng Ziying and Zhang Jingqiu stood on the map board and explained patiently: "Currently Nurhachi's main energy is still on digesting and annexing the Hada and Huifa tribes of the Haixi Jurchen. The war against the Ula tribe has not yet made substantial progress. It is impossible for them to commit crimes in the short term,..."

   "Ziying, I know that you have put a lot of thought into military affairs, so Zishu wrote to me and said, if you have worked in the Imperial Academy for one full year, would you like to come to the Ministry of War?"

  Zhang Jingqiu also felt that Feng Ziying had a broad vision, considered far-reaching issues, and had put a lot of effort into military intelligence. He did not expect his research on the Liaodong situation to be so deep, and he was very pleasantly surprised.

  According to the usual practice, Shuji scholars are all required to enter the Imperial Academy to serve as editors and reviewers in order to have better development prospects in the future. This so-called non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet.

In other words, you have to stay in the Imperial Academy for at least a period of time. Only with this qualification can you be considered qualified to join the cabinet. The experience of the Shu Jishi who compiled history is innumerable.

   Seeing Zhang Jingqiu change the topic, Feng Ziying also knew that Zhang Jingqiu was more worried about the defense of Xuanda and Jizhen, so she couldn't help but sighed.

  It seems that the Jianzhou Jurchen has indeed put a lot of pressure on the capital, but he believes that now, or within three to five years, Nurhachi still does not have the strength to go south.

Without completely annexing and digesting the tribes of Haixi Jurchen, without wooing or forming an alliance with Horqin and Waikha tribes, or even completely solving the Chahar tribe, Nurhachi will not rush south, at most he will It will just cause trouble for Liaodong.

   The defense of Xuanda and Jizhen is of course important, but the financial situation of the imperial court is such that there must be a choice of priority, which still needs to be done according to the timeline.

Liaodong is the most important thing now, and now Hetao goes all the way to Bansheng. At present, the confrontation between Bu Shitu and Su Nang Taiji has formed. After solving the strategy of going west to Shazhou and Hami, we only need to stabilize Living in Gansu and Ningxia towns, it can be said that there will be no major problems in the entire nine-sided land, from three sides to the seven towns of Xuanda, so the defense of Liaodong should be strengthened in the future, and Jizhen should be taken into account, and then Denglai and Liaodong should be developed. On the front line, strengthen Liaodong's strength to curb the expansion of Jurchen.

  But the new minister of the Ministry of War obviously doesn't agree with his point of view, especially that Xuanda needs to strengthen defense as much as Jizhen, which Feng Ziying can't understand.

There is only so much money, if you lean towards one side, you must relax the other side, it is such a realistic problem, he always thought that Zhang Jingqiu would be clear about this issue, but now it seems that Zhang Jingqiu is not as smart as he imagined .

   "My lord, where the students go is also the arrangement of the imperial court, and the students will naturally obey, but what the students want to talk about now is the issue of Xuanda..." Feng Ziying was a little helpless.

  Zhang Jingqiu also shook his head with a smile. This guy is really persistent. Do you really think he can't see the situation clearly?

   "Ziying, if Xuanda is weakened, there will be many consequences..."

"Master Zhang, it's not to weaken Xuanda, but to temporarily stabilize the current situation. Whether it's Su Nang or Lindan Batur, it's impossible for them to commit crimes in the South within three to five years. Students dare to say this! And Jianzhou Jurchen didn't The courage to go south regardless of the flanks! Why can't the limited money be spent on more needed places? Don't adults understand the importance of Denglai? Strengthening Denglai is to supplement the stamina of Liaodong!"

  Feng Ziying stared into Zhang Jingqiu's eyes and said word by word.

  Zhang Jingqiu also looked at Feng Ziying, and changed to another concubine, Zhang Jingqiu had already sent a sentence, but Feng Ziying, he cherished his talents, and he also knew that the emperor also admired this son.

   smiled, Zhang Jingqiu nodded: "Well, Ziying, what do you think about Shandong?"

   "Establish the Governor of Denglai, take charge of the Second Wei of Denglai, Qingzhou Wei, and Tianjin Wei, form a naval fleet, fully operate, and open up the back road of Liaodong..." Feng Ziying was decisive.

  Zhang Jingqiu was taken aback, and immediately contemplated.

  There is actually a reason why he said before that he would continue to strengthen Xuanda.

After Wang Ziteng returned to Beijing, he said that the two towns of Datong in Shanxi had mobilized elites to fight the rebellion in Ningxia and Gansu. Now that the two towns are seriously short of troops, they demanded that they should be replenished immediately, and that they should give priority to military pay and food. The strong opposition from these warriors will have an impact on the entire opening of the sea and debt.

   Moreover, Wang Ziteng also vaguely revealed that if he was asked to serve as the governor of the three sides, he would rather resign. This would inevitably lead to another wave of turmoil, and the emperor would not allow this to happen.

  But now Feng Ziying has proposed another new strategy, the new governor of Denglai, and the establishment of a naval fleet.

On the Liaodong side, Wang Ziteng didn't want to go and didn't dare to go. He didn't want to go on the three sides, but he couldn't be allowed to occupy the position of Xuanda Governor. Elite strength.

  The Beijing camp is in the hands of Niu Jizong, and the Xuan Da soldiers are in the hands of Wang Ziteng, and Wang Ziteng's methods are extraordinary. Maybe after another two years, Xuan Da may become Wang Ziteng's sphere of influence. This is something the emperor cannot tolerate.

   In order to dismiss Prince Teng, one must have a position that is attractive enough and can be confessed to the outside world.

  Governor Dunley, well, that's a good idea.

  Seeing that Zhang Jingqiu suddenly fell into deep thought, Feng Ziying stopped talking and waited for Zhang Jingqiu's thoughts.

   It took Zhang Jingqiu a long time to wake up from his thinking, but he didn't bring up this topic again, but only mentioned the possibility of establishing a naval fleet in Fujian and Zhejiang.

Feng Ziying immediately understood that Zhang Jingqiu must have been pressured by scholars and civil servants from the south. For them, since they wanted to open the sea and borrow money, the debtors must be southern businessmen. Naturally, they must protect the sea to the greatest extent. Trade security, so that they get their money's worth.

   This is also a reasonable thing, but it involves many aspects, and it is inevitable that there will be some disputes.

  After coming out of the office of the Ministry of War to check the time, Feng Ziying went straight to Qi Yongtai's residence.

   "Master Qi, Master Zhang has basically accepted our point of view. Denglai must manage well in order to support Liaodong, establish a water fleet and open Haidenglai. Do you think you can convince others?"

   Seeing the tired look on his student's face, Qi Yongtai couldn't bear it.

  In the past few days, Feng Ziying, as an envoy of all parties, has been sending messages and messages, and she is very tired.

This is also unprecedented. After all, the imperial court has not formally finalized the strategy of opening the sea and raising debts. It is worried that it will die prematurely due to resistance. Therefore, compromises can only be achieved through this semi-open dialogue and communication.

Only when the opinions of all parties gradually unify and basically reach a consensus, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War will formally propose a strategy to the cabinet and make it public. At this time, the court officials can discuss and discuss in the court openly. , more like a solicitation and discussion.

   "Ziying, if Xuanda's side is like this, will it be a bit thin?" Qi Yongtai has a calm temperament and needs to consider every aspect, but this often means that he will be a little conservative.

"No, Lindan Batur is still young and has not yet formally grasped the real power of Chahar, and Su Nang is too busy competing with Bu Shitu, and has no time to look south, but in another three to five years, I am afraid that Lindan Batur will have to be considered. The question is whether to support Lindan Batur to control Horqin and Waikalkha to compete with Jurchen, and to support the winners of Bu Shitu and Su Nang to attack Chahar eastward in order to form a confrontation with Jurchen. It depends on the situation. It's decided."

  Feng Ziying's words did not reassure Qi Yongtai, "Then what do you think?"

"Master Qi, it's hard to say now. If Lindan Batur really has the ability to control Waikalka and Horqin, then Dazhou should support him, and must suppress the Tumote people to avoid dragging Lindan Khan down. In this way, Jianzhou Jurchen will not tolerate Lindan Batur taking away Horqin and the tribes of Waikha. There is bound to be a war, which is beneficial to us. If we can’t control it, then we have to support Su Nang or Bu Shitu to go east to western Liaoning.”

  Feng Ziying sighed softly.

In the history of the previous life, Lin Dan Khan was the latter. As a result, his collapse even collapsed the entire left and right wings of Mongolia. In vain, the Jurchens of Jianzhou took advantage of it, and the Jurchens who controlled the entire Mongolia could unscrupulously move from Liaodong The thousand-mile front in Hetao posed a threat to Daming, making it impossible for Daming to defend against.

  So Feng Ziying is worried that Lindan Batur may still be the same in the history of the previous life in this life, and the inertia of history is often quite huge.

"You're not optimistic about Lindanbatur?" Qi Yongtai sensed Feng Ziying's worry, and said carefully: "If Lindanbatur is an adou who can't afford it, Horqin and the Waikalkha tribes are temporarily powerless for us. Can you make a fuss about the remnants of the Ula and Yehe tribes of the Haixi Jurchen?"

  Feng Ziying's eyes lit up, and Qi Yongtai actually started to pay attention to military affairs. This was a novelty, and he suddenly realized: "Master Qi, are you going to join the cabinet?"

   There are two more at twelve o'clock in the evening! Lao Rui asked for a guaranteed monthly pass for June, and tomorrow I will beg my brothers to prepare the guaranteed monthly pass and give it to Lao Rui!
