Chapter 886 The self-written scroll enters the state-wrapping

   Just when Second Sister You, Jin Chuaner, and Xiangling were about to arrive in Lulong County, Yuanyang also set off from Jingshi City to Yongping Mansion full of worries.

  But at this time Feng Ziying was not in Lulong City, but had already arrived at Santun Camp.

Santunying is the location of the General Army Mansion of Ji Town. It was originally a small place that was not even considered a small market town. However, due to its important geographical location, it has gradually developed into a large-scale town, and there are also a large number of surrounding towns around the town. The civilian households and refugees gathered together, and quickly formed a market town prospered by soldiers, served by the Jizhen General Military Mansion and its mobile guerrilla troops.

The Zongbing Mansion of Ji Town was moved from Sizigu to Santunying during the Mingshun years ago. It has been more than a hundred years since now. The Great Zhou followed the pattern of the previous Ming Dynasty without major adjustments and changes. During the Guangyuan period, with the increasing threat from Chahar, Da Zhou began to set up the Left Guerrilla Office and the Right Guerrilla Office in Santunying Township, and later established the Former Guerrilla Office in the Yuanxi Period.

In the twenty-eighth year of Yuanxi, in view of the large number of soldiers in the town, which became narrower and narrower, the chief soldier of Jizhen at that time demolished the south wall of the old city, expanded it outward, and expanded the Santun Yingcheng on a large scale. Created the current layout.

  In addition to the Jizhen General Army Mansion here, there are also three guerrilla battalions stationed here as a mobile emergency force to support the various roads along the side wall of Jizhen.

  Feng Ziying took office as Tongzhi of Yongping Mansion. In addition to reaching an agreement with Zhu Zhiren and gaining the other party's approval and support, it also laid a solid foundation for her future work in Yongping Mansion.

   But getting Zhu Zhiren's support is only the first step. If you really want to do good things in Yongping Prefecture and turn Yongping Prefecture into your ideal base, you can't just rely on some connections or the support of the prefect.

  He has to show his decent ability to be recognized and convinced by his superiors, colleagues and subordinates including Zhu Zhiren.

  Zhu Zhiren had already announced in the mansion that Tongzhi Feng Keng would be in charge of the Qing army, coastal defense, and public security affairs, which was what he meant.

The responsibilities of Tongzhi in the various prefectures of the Great Zhou Dynasty are different. Basically, it depends on the degree of trust in the magistrate to determine the affairs in charge. Judging from Zhu Zhiren's arrangement of Feng Ziying's work affairs, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory, as in some places. Trusted Tongzhi, in addition to the Qing army, defense, and public security, is also responsible for finance and taxation (except for land tax).

In addition to land taxes, the local taxes in Dazhou include mining tax, commercial tax, and miscellaneous taxes. For example, salt tax is collected by people directly managed by the imperial court, and the local government has no right to intervene. The Salt Envoy of Ludu was in charge, and the mine tax had to be turned over to the Jieshen treasury of the Ministry of Industry, which was the main income of the emperor's internal treasury, so it was out of reach.

However, a considerable part of commercial taxes (tariffs, city taxes) and miscellaneous taxes will be retained, so in a sense, this is actually the small treasury of each government, and the size of this income will directly determine the daily expenses of the government. , even including some hidden benefits, so Tongzhi cannot get involved in this job unless he is trusted by the government.

For Feng Ziying, he has no time to take care of finances and taxes for the time being. As an acquaintance, the Qing army, coordinating relations with Jizhen, and solving the problem of public security in the entire Yongping Mansion are his top priorities. The key to whether Yongping Mansion can gain a firm foothold.

  For Feng Ziying's visit, You Shigong was also well prepared. As the new chief soldier of Jizhen, he knew the current situation of Yongping Mansion very well, and even knew Feng Ziying's intention for coming.

"Ziying, disharmony between the army and the land is not a matter of a day or two. I have not taken over Jizhen for a long time. The governor has ordered me to make some adjustments to the situation of the troops in Jizhen, but it has not been completed yet. , A few days ago, the third child also told me when he came back, I guess you also understand that the Chahar people are ready to move, and Brother Yu is also under great pressure,..."

You Shigong is a short but strong man, with the roughness and wildness from the northwest wind and sand baptism still remaining in his brows, but Feng Tang can rest assured that he can be placed in the position of the chief soldier of Ji Town. He is also a trustworthy person.

  The two sat in the hall and talked like this, there were no other outsiders.

"Brother You, even if Lindan Batur wants to go south, it will take a few months. You can apply to my father to add the Fire Gun Camp. I guess Lindan Batur's southward invasion will choose Jizhen as his target. After all, you have only taken over not long ago, and you are adjusting your deployment, and the Chahar people must have an eyeliner here, so they can naturally understand the situation."

Feng Ziying nodded calmly: "I also told my third brother last time that the Chahar people have eyeliners on our side, so we can also use our caravan to spy on the Chahar people. The Khar people are on guard against us, so we might as well use some of the relationships between the Outer Khalkha tribes and the Tumet people to find out about the Chahar people..."

"Well, this matter has already been done. If the Chahar people want to move, they can't hide it from others. Tens of thousands of troops will go south, and people will eat horses. From military affairs to logistics supplies, and how to coordinate, it is not so difficult. Simple, Lindan Batur thought these things too simply, thinking that he suppressed the Khalkha tribes and the Horqin people, and thought that our Dazhou is also a soft persimmon?"

  You Shigong's tone was cautious, but his mentality was full of confidence.

"Brother You, as long as you are sure, I have already written to my father about the Huo Gun Camp, and I think there will be an answer soon. My father attaches great importance to the Huo Gun Camp, but the more he attaches importance to it, the more he should let this army experience Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a joke if you won’t be able to play at the critical moment? You can’t beat the Chahar people, so how can you beat the Donglu?”

   Feng Ziying's words made You Shigong very happy.

If he can come to one or two battalions of fire guns to help out, then his pressure will be much less. Taiping Road, Yanhe Road and Taitou Road are the areas that worry him the most. Ning and even Lu Long were the first to bear the brunt.

This area is also a relatively densely populated area in the entire Yongping Prefecture. It has been more than ten or twenty years since the looting caused by the last Chahar invasion, and it has finally recovered. Once, history repeats itself, I'm afraid that he, the chief soldier of Ji Town, will be accused and sent to prison without even sitting on his ass.

"Ziying, thank you brother Yu very much. If you can come to the one or two fire gun camp, brother Yu will feel at ease." You Shigong sighed, "To tell you the truth, the thousand-mile defense line of Ji Town, if you say it can completely No one can prevent the Chahar people from rushing in. What we can do is to respond in the shortest time when the Chahar people rush in, block the opponent's southward passage, and give the opponent a heavy blow as much as possible , forcing the opponent to withdraw as soon as possible, of course, this heavy blow is best to inflict huge damage on the opponent, making the opponent feel that the gain outweighs the loss,..."

Feng Ziying was very satisfied with You Shigong's calmness. The other party did not hide anything. He also knew that from the West Road of Shuntian Mansion to the Middle East Road of Yongping Mansion, thousands of miles of side walls, and countless trails, the people of Chahar could choose any time. Breakthrough at any point, how can it be resisted just by the pass and beacon on the side wall?

   It is nothing more than exchanging space for time, and responding quickly on the second chain defense line to meet the enemy.

  You Shigong should have been prepared for saying this. If the Fire Gun Battalion can come, it will undoubtedly give it more room for adjustment and deployment.

"Brother You, if you say that, you're out of your league, not to mention that defending the enemy inside is a helpless act. My father must also know that the younger brother is just telling the truth." Feng Ziying smiled, "Besides, the younger brother came to find the elder brother. That’s what I really want from my elder brother.”

You Shigong laughed, "The third brother told me about the problems left over from the abolition of Youtunwei and Lulongwei in Xingzhou, right? This is actually simple, and there are not many craftsmen left now. I have already asked Xingzhou Youtunwei is there, but there are only two or three hundred households, I will make the decision on this matter, and all the money will be given to Yongping Mansion,..."

  Feng Ziying smiled but not a smile, he knew that Brother You was not a loyal and honest person, how could he be so forthright and generous?

The problems left over from more than ten or twenty years ago, although the Ministry of War and Jizhen did have an agreement with Yongping Mansion at that time, and these craftsmen made up for the abolition of Yongping Guards, but it’s okay for them to cheat on you now, it’s so generous now, It turned out that there were only two or three hundred households left. You must know that there were nearly a thousand artisan households back then.

"Brother You, I'm afraid there are more than two or three hundred households? In less than twenty years, as far as I know, there are nearly a thousand craftsmen households. How come there should be more than a thousand households in the past twenty years? , why is there so much less?"

  Feng Ziying and You Shigong have both started to get into the mood. They used to reminisce about the past and talk about their relationship, but now they have to deal with business and talk about business. No one can easily sell their own interests.

"Hehe, Ziying, you don't understand the situation below. You also know the situation of craftsmen. There are more people fleeing than refugees every year. It is hard to guard against. If you don't pay attention, you will run outside the customs, like Guangning and Ningyuan. Quite a few, Brother Yu is also worried about how to bring these artisans back, but you also know that there are few people in Liaodong Town, so how difficult it is for you to get them back from them,... "

  You Shigong's deceit and prevarication left Feng Ziying speechless, and thought that the other party was an upright person. Now it seems that such an upright person does not exist in this world, at least it is impossible to be the commander-in-chief of Jizhen.

   "Brother You, don't make trouble for my younger brother. Two or three hundred households are definitely not enough. Tell the truth, this is the first time for my younger brother. Don't make it impossible for my younger brother to go back to work." Feng Ziying also said with a smile.

"Ziying, Brother Yu, let's tell the truth. There are only two or three hundred households. You can't give it to you if you have too many brothers. Xingzhou Youtunwei is the most important armor, weapon and vehicle maintenance manufacturing place in Ji Town. It needs to be supplied. Brother Yu is also very embarrassed about the logistics support of Jianchang Camp, Yanhe Camp, Taitou Camp, Shimenzhai Camp and the entire East Road and Middle Road." You Shigong also looked conflicted: "Give it to Yongping Mansion, Brother Yu in the Ministry of War There is no way to make a deal."
