Chapter 956 Ji Zi Juan is approaching the node

However, Feng Ziying believes in the power of industry. The transition from cold weapons to hot weapons has never been achieved overnight. That is because no one can predict what this transition will be like, and no one can understand how to complete it in the most perfect and reasonable way. This transformation.

 Fortunately, Feng Ziying roughly knows.

He vaguely knew about the replacement of matchlocks by self-made fireguns, three-stage attack and skirmish line. Of course, if he couldn't remember, he could only use his own life to explore slowly. It was so cruel.

 Thousands of lives are just an attempt. This is what Feng Ziying is struggling with. Looking at the thousand men in the audience, some are numb and confused, some are full of vitality, and some are full of hope. However, no one knows how many people will survive in the end.

After sighing and sighing, Feng Ziying knew that everything had to be business as usual, everything had to continue, this was fate.

The defense focus of Yongping Prefecture is Qian'an and Lulong, while Funing is located in the northeast, close to Shanhaiwei. Shanhaiwei is stationed with thousands of Jizhen cavalry. The Mongols may not be willing to take this risk, and although Qian'an is far away The Santun camp is not too far away. Under normal circumstances, with the support of the Ji Zhen garrison, it won’t be a big problem. However, if the Mongols make a large-scale breakthrough from Shuntian Prefecture and Yongping Prefecture, Ji Zhen may need to make a choice. , and Qian'an County may become an outcast.

The situation in Lulong is the same. Qian'an and Lulong are too close to each other. When the Mongols come, these two places will be the first to attack.

Once again, there is Luanzhou, which is not too far away, but to capture Luanzhou, you first need to capture Lulong. If you cannot capture Lulong, the Mongols will have to worry about facing Lulong's cutoff when attacking Luanzhou.

From Qian'an to Lulong and then to Luanzhou, this is a three-melon-on-vine route along the Luan River south. The Mongolians will not fail to see this.

Either the situation is overwhelming, or it is going to be a **** blow.

Feng Ziying hopes it will be the latter, but whether it will happen or not depends on the performance of these seemingly incompetent people in three months.

 Back at the government office, Feng Ziying went to see Zhu Zhiren again. Now he couldn't let Zhu Zhiren see the training of these Minzhuangs, which would make him lose confidence.

“…, the soldiers are all in high spirits and their morale is usable,…” Feng Ziying’s introduction failed to arouse much interest in Zhu Zhiren. He was more concerned about how much support Liaodong could send to Yongping Prefecture.

“Ziying, the people here are strong, I just need to do everything according to your request. The troops from your father’s side should be here, right?”

Hearing what Zhu Zhiren said, Feng Ziying could only nod and said: "The first batch should be arriving soon. This is what the official said in a letter to my father. I hope it will be used to help us train elites for the people. I hope this batch of elites can Leading the new with the old helps our people to quickly form a fighting force..."

Zhu Zhiren nodded with satisfaction. It was good to have a father who was the governor of Jiliao. He could also benefit from it. Otherwise, without the reinforcements of the Liaodong Army, the Jizhen Army would mainly have to defend Shuntian Prefecture, and Yongping Prefecture would Like a woman who has stripped naked and can only be ravaged by others.

“When will the main support sent by your father arrive?”

“I guess it will be at least after the end of August, right?” Feng Ziying sighed. He didn’t want to deceive Zhu Zhiren, but he couldn’t do it without deceiving him. Otherwise, he would definitely not live or die with the Yongping Mansion.

 “Is there enough time?” Zhu Zhiren felt a little uneasy.

"Sir, the Mongols have spies on our side. Just like the Mongols in Liaodong, they also need to be gathered at night to dispatch. They also need to prepare all kinds of materials. From the beginning of gathering to dispatching, it takes less than ten and a half days. Don’t even think about moving for a month,…”

Zhu Zhiren also knew this. Seeing Feng Ziying's arrangements, Zhu Zhiren yawned and wiped the corners of his eyes. He couldn't hold it back last night. Hey, he had to take the time to remind Feng Keng. He didn't know how to behave when he was young, and he is too old. There is more than enough but not enough strength.

"Ziying, I will leave this matter to you with full authority. I have also told the household department that the tax collection will be postponed this summer. We will pass this hurdle first. I will go out of my way to talk to Bo Xiao about the household department. Brother, I would like to ask for a favor. I will wait until the end of the year to ship the autumn grain together. Anyway, I don’t have to worry about lice bites if I have many debts. I owe Brother Boxiao more than once or twice. He can also understand our difficulties this year..."

Feng Ziying also got up and said, "Your Excellency, please rest early, but the selection of the second batch of military households will begin soon. In addition, the civilians sent by various states and counties will also be delivered in the next few days. Do you need to give me a lecture..."

"Well, it's up to you, Ziying. I'll go and say hello to the states and counties. If anyone doesn't follow the official regulations and doesn't do things well, then don't blame me for having a hard time with him in the assessment at the end of the year!" It's time to be tough! At that time, Zhu Zhiren was still unambiguous. Even the magistrates of these states and counties could not control him, so he should not be the prefect.

"Thank you very much, sir. I'll take my leave."

"Ziying, I know you are young, and there are many concubines and maids in this house. When I was young, I was as dashing as you, but you have to take it easy. Don't wait until you are older, and you will understand. …”

Feng Ziying didn't expect that this guy Zhu Zhiren would actually come to teach him. You are already in your fifties, and you have had two concubines in the past few years, but you still came to remind yourself to be moderate. He was speechless.

“Thank you, sir, for reminding me, I must be careful when I serve below you…”

After returning home, Feng Ziying hugged Eryou and fought fiercely all night. When she got up in the morning, she even made Xiangling happy when she got up.

Isn’t it delicious?

　　************

Niu Jizong received the news from Wang Ziteng through a secret channel, and soon the two met in a dark room in the alley of Jile Temple.

This is next to the Confucian Temple and next to the Kek Lok Temple. Usually few people in the capital come here. It is also a backup place for the two of them to make an appointment and need to meet urgently.

"What's the matter, so urgent?" Niu Jizong rushed back from Xuanfu Town. He was very unhappy. He hurriedly returned to Beijing quietly from the administrative area. If he was discovered by the censor, there would definitely be a flood of comments.

As the governor of Xuanda, he has residences in Datong and Xuanfu, but he rarely goes to Datong and basically stays in Xuanfu.

Datong has always been the sphere of influence of the Feng family. Neither he, the governor of Xuanda, nor the current commander-in-chief of Datong have enough control over Datong Town.

Although Feng Tang left Datong, he was now promoted to Governor of Ji Liao, and generals such as Cao Wenzhao were taken away by Feng Tang, and were promoted to deputy generals in the past. This made countless generals who followed Feng Tang extremely Jealous.

The You brothers in Yulin were even more proud. You Shigong even squeezed out Ma Gui and became the commander-in-chief of Jizhen.

Ma Gui was from the Xuanfu, and was from a family of veteran generals, while You Shigong was from Yulin, and his qualifications were far inferior to Ma Gui's.

Who among the nine sides doesn’t know that the ranking of the nine sides is Liaodong, Jizhen, Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi, Yulin, Guyuan, Ningxia, and Gansu. The generals not only compete with each other in terms of qualifications, achievements, and origins, but also Compare where your seniority is and who you work for.

How could Cao Wenzhao be a general, because he followed Feng Tang to fight in Ningxia and Gansu. After Feng Tang became the commander-in-chief of Jiliao, he took him to Liaodong Town and was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief.

You Shigong, a poor man from Yulin, could rise to the top all of a sudden just by following Feng Tang, and he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Jizhen. This is the commander-in-chief of a town. You must know that countless generals have spent their lives serving as generals, deputy generals, and even generals. The deputy commander-in-chief was lingering in the position, unable to cross this step, but was overtaken by You Shigong.

Looking at it, there are so many generals from the Nine Borders who are more senior, more successful, and more famous than You Shigong and Cao Wenzhao. Why should he be You Shigong and Cao Wenzhao?

 No other reason, just because they were from Datong Town and Yulin Town, they happened to cling tightly to Feng Tang's thick leg.

  It is so simple for a person to become a chicken or a dog in the army. With the support of the superiors, and with the superiors helping you to manage relationships in the Ministry of War and the cabinet and clear up your connections, you can become a phoenix in one leap.

It's not that Niu Jizong has never thought about weakening the power of the Feng family in Datong, but firstly, the Feng family itself is also a martial arts family; secondly, the Feng family is related to the Duan family, and the Duan family is also a prominent family in Datong and cannot be easily moved; thirdly, Feng Tang is now Niu Jizong, the governor of Jiliao, did not want to antagonize Feng Tang, so he could only try to do it slowly.

However, it seems that it is too late now. All Niu Jizong can do now is to firmly hold the Xuanfu soldiers.

Facing Niu Jizong's question, Wang Ziteng remained silent for a long time. Finally, under Niu Jizong's somewhat angry eyes, he said numbly: "The cabinet has decided that I will lead the Denglai army to go south to Huguang."

Niu Jizong was slightly surprised and then immediately reacted: "Yang Yinglong rebelled?"

"Not yet, but the Ministry of War has determined that Yang Yinglong and She Chongming are preparing for rebellion. Worried about endangering Jingxiang, they have appointed Yang He as governor of Yunyang and Geng Ruxi as governor of Chongqing Prefecture. They have asked me to lead the Denglai army to Huguang to take precautions. .”

 “She Chongming?” Niu Jizong knew Yang Yinglong, but was not familiar with a small chieftain like She Chongming.

“The chieftain of Xuanfu Division in Yongning is close to Bozhou and is not weak in strength. Of course it is not as good as Yang Yinglong, but the geographical location is very important. If Yongning is reversed, it will inevitably spread to Guizhou. It is said that the water west of Guizhou is not peaceful."

 Wang Ziteng's words made Niu Jizong a little desperate, "Is there any room for maneuver?"

"I'm afraid not." Wang Ziteng sighed, "I have talked with Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke, and pointed out the danger of the Mongolian invasion to the south. I was willing to lead the Denglai Army to help defend Ji Town, but Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke flatly refused. ”

"I'm afraid it's the emperor's intention, right?" Niu Jizong sneered, "If you are asked to go to Jizhen, aren't you going to overshadow the guest? Unless Feng Tang leads Liaodong Town to come to Jizhen to take charge, will You Shigong be able to suppress you? Otherwise, once the Mongols escape, When we return to the grassland, what should we do if you lead the army to the capital? Even if you don't enter the capital and stay in Jizhen, won't the emperor have to sleep at night?"

　　　Please support me in any way!
