Chapter 953: Talking about military affairs on a piece of paper, discussing the country

When the white scattered light of the fish belly fell on the kang couch in the sky, Feng Ziying realized that she had fallen asleep without knowing it.

Thinking about many things at night, Yun Shang woke up with a dazed look, hugging her and murmuring with tears in her eyes, as well as all kinds of unspeakable intimacy, which made Feng Ziying truly realize how big the change from a girl to a woman would be. .

  For the man she loves, she is willing to try anything. But in the past, Feng Ziying would not dare to think about it.

Looking at the Spirit Snake Jade Pendant still tightly held in Yun Shang's hand, with a somewhat satisfied smile on her face, Feng Ziying gently moved her exposed and cool jade arm away and stood up carefully.

She dressed quietly and pushed out the door, but she heard "Ah" and a pretty body ran into her arms. Feng Ziying hurriedly supported her, but she saw Qingwen, who was blushing with shame, staring at her little deer eyes, biting her lips, and hated Staring at him with hatred.

"You come to bed so early? Are you ashamed?" Qingwen was irritated by just one sentence. She was about to change her face, but Feng Ziying didn't give her a chance at all. She put one hand around her waist and said, "It's rare that you have such a heart." Xi, you were so considerate for Yun Shang last night, I hope Yun Shang will also be considerate for you this day, and the friendship between you two sisters will always be like this..."

Before his anger could break out, he was blocked by Feng Ziying's words. In addition, Feng Ziying had a tight grip on her waist. Thinking of the other party's violent attacks on Yun Shang yesterday, Yun Shang's sweet moans all night, and Qingwen's body for no reason. He softened and almost collapsed.

Seeing Qingwen's pretty eyes glowing with color, her cheeks flushed, and her whole body trembling slightly, Feng Ziying found that she couldn't hold back anymore.

I wasn't able to have all the fun last night. It's a pity that Eryou, Jin Chuan'er, and Xiang Ling were all in Yongping Mansion. Otherwise, I would definitely have found one or two people to do justice on the spot today, but Qingwen is also an inhumane child. , it is equally difficult to accept the favor, so I can only think about such things.

 “This slave does what he should do, and he does not ask anyone to express his gratitude…”

This girl has always been so hard-spoken and hot-hearted. It seems that it is impossible for this girl to change her temper. But if she changes, will she still be Qingwen?

 Don’t you just love her different temperament?

Feng Ziying felt a little itchy in her heart, and she gently tightened her hand on the other party's waist, "Then I will comb your hair together today..."

Qingwen was taken aback and her voice trembled slightly, "I just took Yunshang. It's time to take a good rest. Don't think about this all day long..."

"Then I just thought about it now, so what?" Feng Ziying started to act rogue and slowly took Qingwen's body into his arms.

"I have nothing to say, that slave. It's just that I didn't consider you before I asked for Yun Shang's body. Now that I want my slave, aren't I afraid of hurting Yun Shang's heart?" Qingwen pursed her lips with a strange expression on her face.

Feng Ziying's body stiffened, she let go of her hand on Qingwen's waist, and sighed, knowing that this girl did it on purpose, but Feng Ziying could only obey, "Okay, Qingwen, you successfully achieved It serves the purpose, but..."

"Master, what's yours is yours after all, and this servant won't run away..." Seeing Feng Ziying's somewhat sad look, although she could guess that the other party meant this expression, Qingwen felt proud but also a little unbearable, "Wait a moment. Until next time when I come back,..."

"This is what you said, remember your words, Qingwen,..." Feng Ziying nodded slightly, with a look on her face, which made Qingwen laugh.

"Master, is Yun Shang awake?" Qingwen passed Feng Ziying's body, "I'm going to check on Yun Shang. Grandma asked me to tell her to have a good life and take care of her. Don't rush to work on the ground. I'll do it for her in the kitchen." Had soup,…”

Feng Ziying scratched her head in embarrassment. She asked her wife to arrange this kind of thing, and another woman who might also follow in Yunshang's footsteps seemed to feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe this is the beauty of this era?

  ************

Feng Ziying only got the news from Sun Chuanting who came to see him off just before he returned to Yongping Mansion.

Geng Ruqi is about to be appointed as the Tongzhi of Chongqing Prefecture.

Feng Ziying estimated that Chai Ke listened to his suggestion of organizing the people just in case.

Faced with the pressure of the upcoming Bozhou Rebellion, it was very difficult to mobilize troops southward, so this was considered a solution.

Another news is that Yang He may patrol Yunyang as the right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This is also to prepare for the possible rebellion in Bozhou.

Yang He has the status of the right-hand censor of the capital procuratorate. At the same time, he participated in quelling the Ningxia rebellion the year before last and performed well. Therefore, it is logical for him to serve as governor of Yunyang and stabilize the situation in Jingxiang.

When necessary, it is also feasible to mobilize Jingxiang refugees to form an army.

But Feng Ziying does not think that this strength alone can deal with the Bozhou rebellion. Once She Chongming of the Yongning Xuanwei Division also joins in, I am afraid that the entire Guizhou will also be involved. What about the Shuixi An family?

Although the Bozhou Rebellion and the She'an Rebellion were far apart in the previous life, the core issue was still the dispute between the locals. In this life, the situation has not been alleviated at all, or even exceeded, so it is not impossible for them to get together and break out.

"Bo Ya, Yuxuan, Zhong Lun, what do you think?" In the eighth year of Yonglong's reign, in addition to Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu and Fu Zonglong were also very interested in military affairs, while Song Shixiang and Xu Qixun were not very interested in military affairs.

 Among the five people, except Fu Zonglong who failed to select Shujishi, the other four were selected as Shujishi. This also made Qingtan Academy famous throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The four Shujishi already accounted for 15% of the less than 20 Shujishi. Together with Ma Shiying, who was second on the list, the Hanlin Academy was now filled with students from Qingtan Academy.

The performance of Qingtan Academy in the 8th year of Yonglong is no less than that in the 5th year of Yonglong. This also makes the students of Qingtan Academy more powerful now.

Fu Zonglong is now overseeing politics in the Ministry of War. In addition, Wang Yingxiong and Zheng Chongjian are in the Ministry of War. Now the disciples of Qingtan Academy have a considerable influence in the Ministry of War.

 “What do you think of Yuxuan?” Sun Chuanting handed the topic to Chen Qiyu first.

Chen Qiyu hesitated for a moment, "Zhong Lun is more familiar with the situation in the southwest. Haven't you and Feixiong been discussing it during this time? You can talk about it first."

Feng Ziying laughed. On the contrary, several old classmates became cautious in front of her. They did not dare to say anything casually for fear of making a bad impression in front of her. It was probably because she was summoned by the cabinet, the emperor and the Ministry of War after returning to Beijing to touch them. Very big.

"Well, what, are you afraid of making a fool of yourself in front of Ziying? Let me talk first." Fu Zonglong said carelessly: "Feixiong and I have discussed it several times. He feels that there are some southwestern chieftains with ulterior motives, but there are more Judging from the situation, there are also some who are loyal to the imperial court. If Yang Yinglong really wants to rebel, he might as well choose to mobilize some chieftains who are loyal to the imperial court to recruit local soldiers, build a fence first, and then slowly plan for it..."

"Take it slowly? Can the court afford it?" Chen Qiyu disagreed with Fu Zonglong's view, "In my opinion, we still need to mobilize elites to deal with it immediately. Once Bozhou has rebellious intentions, or even if Yang Yinglong is determined to have rebellious intentions, he will immediately launch an attack. , it’s best to catch him off guard to prevent the situation from getting out of hand..."

"Yu Xuan, what you said is simple. Do you know the terrain of Xuanfu Division in Bozhou? The terrain in the southwest is dangerous and dense with miasma, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. If Yang Yinglong had rebelled long ago, he must have been fully prepared in all aspects. How could he Is it the government and the army that can make a surprise attack?" Fu Zonglong retorted: "Before your troops were deployed in place, they would have already taken advantage of them. Besides, where did you recruit the elite troops from? Apart from the border troops, what other army could be called elite? The frontier troops are elite, but they may not be able to adapt to the terrain and climate of the southwest."

"If, as you said, the war is going to drag on and on, can the imperial court be able to support it? Once there is a war, money will be spent like water. Where can the money come from? They have all spent their money here. What will happen to the Mongols and Donglu? "Chen Qiyu dismissed it: "Writing a war means fighting for money, food, and logistical supplies. You all know that the southwest mountains and highlands are dangerous, and supplies are more difficult and more expensive. If one stone of food is delivered, there will probably be less than three dou left. If we don't fight quickly, we will win. , the logistical supplies alone can bring down the imperial court!"

 One feels that it is better to go slow than to rush, and the other feels that it is better to rush than to slow down. It is reasonable for the public to say it, and it is reasonable for the mother-in-law to say it.

 “Bo Ya, what do you think?” Feng Ziying looked at Sun Chuanting with a smile.

"If the imperial court has sufficient financial resources and no worries about food and salary, I agree with Zhonglun's opinion. The terrain in the southwest is complex and the climate is harsh. Summers are hot and cold, and winters are wet and cold. Even if the border troops are gone, they will have to adapt. So if we can build a good fence, Work step by step, attack and appease at the same time, it is best to divide and disintegrate..."

Sun Chuanting hesitated for a moment, "But what Yuxuan said is right. Can the court support this strategy now? Will the Mongolian left wing and the Donglu take advantage of such an opportunity to add insult to injury? I think it will, so Zhonglun The strategy is worrisome, but if we follow Yuxuan’s words and decide quickly, I think it might turn out to be a waste of haste, which could lead to bad things..."

Chen Qiyu was impatient. He had an unusual relationship with Sun Chuanting. They were both fellow villagers and classmates, so they spoke rudely: "Boya, this won't work, that won't work either. You just deny other people's opinions, but you also have to come up with something." Here’s a countermeasure.”

Feng Ziying has heard Sun Chuanting's confusion, "Bo Ya is in a dilemma?"

In the end, Sun Chuanting shook his head, "If you want to have the best of both worlds, there's no need to do it. In my opinion, since all parties are not fully prepared, we might as well do the easy things first and then the hard ones. We can let the Huguang and Sichuan local security forces Take action, strengthen the walls and clear the country. From now on, we will cut off the supply of materials in Bozhou and even Yongning, and narrow the encirclement. However, we will not use troops for the time being. We will try to delay this winter until the Mongols have settled down, and then concentrate on annihilating the southwest..."

“But if Yang Yinglong refuses to follow our plan, once the blockade is blocked, he will start an attack?” Feng Ziying asked: “Or he will attack at the same time as the Donglu and Mongols? This possibility is very high.”

"Yang Yinglong's troops are not strong enough to support his full-scale attack, and the terrain of Bozhou determines that it is impossible for him to fight like the Mongols. He only dares to be limited to the surrounding areas of Bozhou. I think a slight retreat is acceptable, as long as he is blocked and prevented. Just attack in the direction of Chongqing and Huguang. If he really wants to attack other chieftains' territories, I think the other chieftains may not be willing. The court can also use various means to make the chieftains have different opinions, and even make these chieftains To sway Yang Yinglong's attitude and make it difficult for him to make a choice..." Sun Chuanting said thoughtfully: "If I were Yang Yinglong, I would prefer to attract the army to fight, so that I can take advantage of the right time, place and people,..."
