Chapter 449 Volume C belongs to your own path (end of this volume)

  Fang Youdu left, with a little excitement and expectation.

  Feng Ziying reminded him to keep quiet and stop when he clicked.

   This is just Feng Ziying's observation, and it may not be correct, but the necessary form still needs to be taken, and when the final decision is made, there must still be sufficient and sufficient reasons, no matter which side is the final choice.

Feng Ziying wasn't sure whether the imperial court had confirmed certain things, but based on his observation and judgment, if he really had to wait until the investigation by his group was completed before deciding who should be included in the first batch of ports to open the sea, then undoubtedly It's a little ridiculous.

There is no doubt that whether it is Ningbo, Zhangzhou, or Quanzhou, there are some basic conditions that can support the opening of the sea. Just like the conditions that I and Xu Xie said, these cities have foundations, The only thing is that each has its own strengths. Which aspect is more important, and what kind of choice is made in the end, you can list one, two, and three reasons. This is not a problem at all.

  The key lies in the game wrestling among all parties in the imperial court until compromise.

  Of course, if you want to say that these basic conditions are useless, then it is definitely impossible, but if you have a certain basic condition, it is more a game of influence and voice in the court.

   But no matter what, I have to give an explanation to the emperor and the cabinet. This is not only part of the game, but also needs to pave the way for the next step to fully open the sea.

  *******

   "Feixiong, it's all up to you here." Feng Ziying slapped Wang Yingxiong's shoulder heavily, which meant a lot.

"Don't worry, Ziying, I understand the importance." Wang Yingxiong knew that the other party was going south tomorrow, and things must be very complicated, but he devoted half an hour to talking with himself about the Southwest Liutu dispute, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter .

  The last time the other party paid so much attention was before the chaos in Ningxia Town, which fully demonstrated the other party's keen sense of military affairs.

  Zheng Chongjian followed Feng Ziying to pacify Xijiang, and has not yet returned, but he will return next year at the latest, and most likely he will go straight to the Ministry of War!

   This is almost the same as the treatment of those who did not get into the Imperial Academy after the shujishi disbanded, even one year earlier than those people!

This opportunity was not only given to Zheng Chongjian by Feng Ziying, but also won by Zheng Chongjian himself. Without Zheng Chongjian's targeted compilation of information obtained from the incumbent party secretary and other parties in Ningxia, Gansu, how could Chai Ke agree to let him follow the expedition? ?

  If it was his turn to have such an opportunity, Wang Yingxiong would certainly not let it go.

   "However, Ziying, the conflict of the war of exile has not been going on for a year or two, and you are so worried that a big mess will break out?" Wang Yingxiong held back this question for a long time, but couldn't help but ask it.

   "Feixiong, if you take a closer look at the situation of our Dazhouwei Army in the southwest, you should know why I am worried." Feng Ziying stood in front of the window, looking out from the window of the Hanlin Academy building.

"Now the imperial court's thoughts are on the Nine Sides, especially Liaodong. In a sense, the chaos in Ningxia and Gansu was due to the lack of food and pay, and the disaster caused by Liaodong was given priority. However, compared with the deployment of troops in the southwest, Ningxia and Gansu are better. What’s more, the soldiers of the southwestern guards have basically been reduced to farmers in the field, without combat power, we can see it, but the chieftains who are close at hand can’t see it?”

Wang Yingxiong himself is from Chongqing, and he is close to the Xuanwei Division of Yunnan and Guizhou, and he knows the situation there. Because of this, he is also very curious that Feng Ziying, who is from the north, is so sensitive to Ningxia and Gansu. You know the Southwest so well?

   Just because of the fact that a senior official from Guizhou came to sue last time? That would be too exaggerated.

  Which year did this happen in the southwest?

   Either the chieftain went to Beijing to complain, or the officials sued. The Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Punishment have become accustomed to it.

   "Ziying, what you said is also reasonable, but because of this?" Wang Yingxiong always felt a little unbelievable. There are so many problems in the whole territory of Dazhou. Why is Feng Ziying staring at the southwest side?

"Let's put it this way, look at the income from the debts raised this time, how many taels of silver will be considered for the Southwest Garrison as a military salary?" Feng Ziying said calmly: "No one or two! Except for the needs of the Western Expedition and the Restoration of Shazhou Hami, it is Consider Jiliao, and then Denglai and Fujian and Zhejiang naval fleets. When it's the turn of the southwest side, I'm afraid it will work ten years later, but how many of our local governments are aware of this? Waiting for the situation?"

  Wang Yingxiong remained silent.

Although he was considered poor in his hometown, because the Wang family is a big family, there are still some relatives and clan members who travel outside. No matter how tit-for-tat, it is the local people who suffer.

Chieftains rely on familiarity and familiarity, strong dragons do not overwhelm top snakes, while senior officials leave after a few years of work, and even want to find something wrong, find something so that they can come down to Beijing to investigate The bosses of the company are used as an invitation for credit.

  So almost every year in Sichuan and Guizhou, there will be many fighting and disputes in the areas where the soil is intertwined, but fortunately, no major incidents have been caused.

   "Everyone has nothing to fear. I'm afraid that once a big catastrophe happens, it may turn into a spark and start a prairie fire. If the guards do not do enough to suppress it, it may become the second Ningxia Rebellion."

  Seeing Feng Ziying's affirmation, Wang Yingxiong couldn't help shivering.

  Sichuan and Guizhou in the southwest are no better than Ningxia and Gansu. It is really high mountains and dense forests, and the officers and soldiers from other places may not be able to adapt to it.

  Especially in the mountainous areas, the terrain is complicated, and the supply difficulties are ten times more difficult than those in Ningxia, Gansu. With the smog and humidity, one can imagine how troublesome it would be if it really turned into a rebellion.

   "Ziying, is it really so dangerous? Where do you think is the most dangerous?"

   "Feixiong, do you think my younger brother is the kind of alarmist? If there is no accident, it should be Bozhou!" Feng Ziying patted Wang Yingxiong's shoulder again, "In any case, let's make some preparations first. There are only benefits if we are prepared."

Wang Yingxiong was only three years older than him. Among the few close classmates, Sun Chuanting was the youngest, followed by Feng Ziying, Zheng Chongjian, Fu Zonglong, and Xu Qixun, and then Fang Youdu, Wang Yingxiong, Wu Shen, and Song Shixiang. Between one or two and two or three years old, people like Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng are a few years older, and people like Lian Guoshi and Xu Xie are even older.

   "Ziying, it's about the same as what I guessed, so maybe my younger brother can make other arrangements." Wang Yingxiong is also a person who is unwilling to be lonely, with piercing eyes, "Bozhou is very close to our hometown, but only three or four hundred miles away."

   "Oh, tell me." Feng Ziying's eyes lit up.

"Brother Yu has a few uncles and brothers who sell salt over there. They are very courageous..." Wang Yingxiong said while thinking: "They often go deep into the salt sale over there, and they also have contacts with some small chieftains over there. The surrounding situation is also familiar,…”

  Ordinary people are far away for three or four hundred miles, and many people have never been out of the county in their lives, but it doesn't matter to private salt dealers.

  Feng Ziying also became interested, "Since this is the case, there are many things that can be done first."

   "Map?" Wang Yingxiong nodded.

"The map is necessary. I have seen the map of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War. It is extremely rough and not necessarily ready. If possible, you can ask your uncles and brothers to draw some of the most important geographical maps, especially except for those roads. Since it is a salt smuggling trail, you must be familiar with such routes..." Feng Ziying nodded. Where are the water sources located and which are not easily destroyed,..."

"In addition, people are more important!" Seeing Wang Yingxiong's enlightenment, Feng Ziying reminded: "Once a war breaks out, a group of people who are familiar with the terrain and people in Bozhou is especially important. On this point, I think it is particularly important. And when it really comes to that time, if you want to find such a person, it may not be in time, and it may not be suitable,..."

  At first, it was just a general talk, but now it is more and more in-depth. Feng Ziying wants to prevent problems before they happen, and Wang Yingxiong hopes that if there is such an opportunity, he can use it for himself, so they hit it off.

For Feng Ziying, he is of course willing to give such opportunities to classmates who are close to him. In his own words, these classmates have not yet formed a complete "three views", especially world outlook and values, so give them opportunities , and at the same time instill some of their own ideas and intentions in such opportunities, in order to gain more sense of identity, this is what Feng Ziying wants to achieve.

  Zheng Chongjian has already made his mark in Xijiang, and Chai Ke admires him very much. Perhaps after returning, he can follow Chai Ke to grow steadily in the Ministry of War. If it goes well, he will be appointed as the head of the Ministry of War in two or three years.

  Wang Yingxiong can also follow suit, and it is very realistic.

  In the previous life, one of the three major battles in Wanli in the late Ming Dynasty—the Bozhou Rebellion has not yet broken out, but Feng Ziying has already sensed that the fire is burning, and it depends on when it will detonate.

  If Wang Yingxiong seized this opportunity, he might not be able to find his own shortcut.

  Maybe a Battle of Banshu can make him stand out?

  Everyone has their own way, but everyone should pursue and find a more suitable way, and work hard for it.

  I am like this, so are the people around me such as Liu Xianglian, Jia Lian, Jia Huan and even Jia Baoyu, and my classmates are even more so.

   The next volume of Jiangnan is about to start, please give me some encouragement!
