Just do what you say. Once Feng Ziying makes up her mind, she will act vigorously and resolutely.
He quickly issued an order, requiring the Four Guards of Xi'an to conduct an inventory and prepare to go out to Baishui and Chengcheng to launch a clearing campaign against the rebels. He requested that the inventory be completed within ten days, supplies and equipment be completed within half a month, and the expedition be launched within twenty days. Strive to quell the rebels in the eastern part of Xi'an Prefecture within three months.
This news immediately caused a huge shock among the four guards in Xi'an.
Baishui, Chengcheng, Linyang, and Hancheng in the eastern part of Xi'an Prefecture have long been captured by the rebel army. Now the rebel army is encroaching on Pucheng, Tongzhou, and Chaoyi. The rebel army has not yet won the siege of Pucheng, but Tongzhou Hechaoyi has fallen into the hands of the rebels.
After taking control of Tongzhou and Chaoyi, the rebel army was approaching the Wei River. Once they crossed the Wei River, Huazhou and Huayin would be in great danger.
It can be said that while the rebel army in northern Shaanxi was in decline, the rebel army in the eastern part of Xi'an Prefecture was in the ascendant, and its offensive was fierce. It captured Tongzhou and Chaoyi in one fell swoop, which made Feng Ziying wonder whether the Tongguan guards had gone to Puzhou. It fits.
If the rebel army really wants to capture Huazhou and Huayin and cut off Shaanxi's east channel out of the Central Plains, then something serious will really happen.
This is why Feng Ziying is eager to complete the reorganization of Xi'an's Four Guards, because he is not sure whether Qiu Zixiong's army in Baitangzhai can quickly deal with the Luochuan Yichuan rebel army and then enter the eastern part of Xi'an Prefecture. After entering, whether it can follow the preset In order to gain dominance in the inner zone, if there is a delay in time, the situation will become very serious.
Reorganizing the Xi'an Four Guards first, even if two or three battalions are formed first, can slightly strengthen the defense in the east and prevent the rebels from entering the core area of the central Guanzhong Plain.
Before Feng Ziying arrived in Shaanxi, Xie Zhenye mobilized three battalions of guards from Fengxiang Institute, Xing'an Institute and Qinzhou Guard to Yaozhou and Weinan. Among them, two battalions from Fengxiang Institute and Qinzhou Guard were stationed in Yaozhou, and one battalion from Xing'an Institute was stationed in Yaozhou. Stationed in Weinan.
Feng Ziying was very dissatisfied with Xie Zhenye's conservative arrangement.
The dignified guards did not dare to take the initiative to attack when the rebel army had not yet gained momentum. Instead, they adopted such a conservative defense and even abandoned the lines of Baishui, Linyang, Hancheng, and Chengcheng, and surrounded the entire line. It is a great shame and humiliation to lose the northeastern part of Xi'an Prefecture to others.
Of course, Feng Ziying also knew Xie Zhenye's difficulties. Theoretically ten battalions of the Xi'an Four Guards were in Xi'an City, but they did not dare to leave the city. It would be difficult to convince the public to guard the east side of Xi'an Mansion, but the four guards of Xi'an were beyond the control of Xie Zhenye, the commander and commander of the capital.
Now that Feng Ziying is here, he will not spoil the Xi'an Four Guards.
"Sir, Master Qiu and Master Xie are here." Baoxiang came in quietly and said softly.
"Haha, are you coming together to force us into the palace?" Feng Ziying sneered, "Liu Yuanpei left on the front foot, and now they are here on the back foot. Who else is there, Chen Ruibo, Han Dongchang?"
Naturally, Baoxiang didn't dare to say anything, so Feng Ziying just said one thing, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then said: "Let them come in."
Qiu Ziquan and Xie Jing, one is a Xi'an right guard guerrilla, and the other is a Xi'an vanguard guard. They are both sons of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes and the Twelve Marquises, but they are a little far away from the twenty-four direct branches of the capital city. , but after all, they are still the children of these four princes, eight princes, twelve princes, and just because of the two surnames that cannot be written in one stroke, and because these martial arts giants followed Zhou Taizu to conquer the world, they feel that they are superior to others. Just dare to come directly to the door and talk to yourself.
Feng Ziying didn't know where this group of people came from to have such a good sense of themselves. The imperial court had long been fed up with this group of martial arts magnates, and had been looking for opportunities to clean up and reduce their power. She didn't know how to keep herself clean, and was still shouting and drinking here. , do you really think that the court has nothing to do with them?
"I've met the governor."
Two men with puffy chests and belly came in and performed a military salute, but Feng Ziying couldn't restrain the sneer at the corner of her mouth. The figures of these two men would make it difficult for an ordinary strong horse to ride a horse.
"Well, sit down." Feng Ziying was not too polite and raised her hand casually, "You two are here to see me.
Me, what's the matter? But I came here to leave Weinan. I wonder if the troops of your two guards have been sorted out? 「
The question was so straightforward that both Biao Ziquan and Xie Jing were a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a while. The Four Guards were cleaning up and taking stock, and the order to prepare for the expedition had just been issued from Dusi to the Four Guards, causing great panic among the Four Guards.
People who have not fought in a war for ten or twenty years are suddenly asked to leave the city of Xi'an and go to fight in a strange place. Moreover, they are not facing ordinary bandits, but ferocious rebels!
It is said that when these rebels are hungry, they can even kill and eat people. This rumor will scare these guardsmen to death.
"Sir, I just want to ask you a question. The Dusi's order has just come, asking us to reorganize and count the armies of each guard and prepare for war. However, there are rumors that our armies will go east to wipe out the rebels. The general and Xie Sir, you want to inquire whether we really want to go east to quell the rebellion? But if we all go out, who will guard Xi'an City? "
It could be heard that Feng Ziying was not very angry, and Qiu Ziquan's heart was pounding.
He also knew that from top to bottom, from inside to outside, the province was extremely dissatisfied with the Four Guards of Xi'an. They had been pampered and had nothing to do for so many years. Now that it was their turn to fight, Dusi first took care of the surrounding people. The guards from Qinzhou Guard, Fengxiang Division, and Xing'an Division were the first to attack. It would be difficult for anyone to accept this kind of thing.
This visit was forced to come to visit. Several guerrilla guards tried to get through various channels to get through to the governor, but failed. Xie Shiye had already been bribed by them, but Xie Zhenye also He said that everything else was easy to discuss, except that Feng Ziying had no way here, and he had no choice either. He also said that he might also have to be beaten.
Xie Zhenye's words were pitiful. They all didn't believe it, but they couldn't do anything about this hob meat. How could they get back the money they had given to this guy before?
And they also realized that Feng Ziying's path was really difficult. This guy wanted to come to Shaanxi to gain political achievements, and he would never give up until he came up with some decent fame. Moreover, they also inquired about Feng Ziying, who was in Yongping back then. This guy in the government used Minzhuang to fight the Mongols head-on, and even won the key battle, so this guy is now even more arrogant, as if he wants to conquer the world. The question is, doesn't he know about the situation of the four guards in Xi'an? Do you really think that you can go into battle just by taking inventory and cleaning up? Can this be the same?
No matter how angry and anxious they were, Biao Ziquan and Xie Lian could only suppress and remain calm. They came here to understand each other's intentions.
If we really want to push this group of people onto the battlefield, we will take their lives. No one will die.
If not, what is the other party's intention? Do you want money, or do you want to completely take over the four guards of Xi'an? Is there any room for maneuver?
If you don't want money, you don't need to be aggressive by doing something that makes people and gods angry. That is to take over the Four Guards of Xi'an and control an army that he can control.
This is not a problem, everyone can do it, obey his orders, just expect to fight but don't think about it, but can this guy tolerate this situation?
Feng Ziying had already expected Zhuang Ziquan's inquiry. Xi'an defender Liu Yuanpei also came here for this matter before, and he had the same attitude.
"Since you two have asked this question, I would also like to ask you, as the Xi'an Guards, if you don't fight the rebellion, are you going to wait until the rebels come to attack? Then what are you doing to support the Guards like you?" Feng Ziying Ling Leng said: "There is no one to defend the city? Instead of worrying about no one to defend the city, it is better to think carefully about how to defend Weinan and Yaozhou. As long as the rebels cannot attack, why worry about the city being left undefended?"
"Sir, we know that you have opinions about our Xi'an Guards. We also admit that our Xi'an Guards have some problems, but these are also historical problems left over for decades and are not our responsibility." Zhuang Ziquan couldn't help but argue. Said: "Now you want us to clean up and prepare for battle in ten and a half months. This is simply impossible. They will not agree to go to war..."
"They won't agree, so what's the point of staying in the city? Are they just consuming the court's food and rice in vain every year? Or are they just a decoration to fool the court and the people?" Feng Ziying laughed angrily, "The guards of Qinzhou Guard can go into battle, Feng Xiang Suo's guards can also go into battle, and Xing'an Suo's
You can also go into battle, but you Xi'an Guards cannot. Why, the Xi'an Guards don't receive food and feed, or are they all women? 「
Feng Ziying's merciless words made her blush, but it was indeed a loss. The two of them didn't know how to answer, but they only had one thing to be clear about, that is, the Xi'an Guards could not go out of the city to fight, and they could not do it.
"Sir, you can scold us and humiliate us as much as you want, but the current situation of the Xi'an Guards is like this. You have just arrived. If you want to change, it will not happen overnight. Now you want to force them to send troops to fight. I am worried that they will..." Xie Gun remained silent until this moment and said with some sadness, "By then, I'm afraid even we won't be able to control the situation."
Feng Ziying glanced sideways at Xie Gun. He should be a member of the Xie family of Marquis Jingtian, and he should also be a cousin of Xie Jing and Xie Xian. "Who are you from Xie Jing?"
Xie Gun hesitated for a moment, "Xie Jing is the cousin of the general."
"Xie Jing doesn't even dare to be arrogant in front of me, but you are a bit arrogant." Feng Ziying said calmly, "If you can't control the situation, how can you be a guerrilla defender?"
Xie Gun seemed to feel that Feng Ziying's tone was loose, and he felt happy. He stood up and bowed, "The general made a mistake, but what he said was the truth. Please be aware of this. The general also thinks about you,... "
