"Sir, isn't it rumored that the Northwest Army is going to dispatch some troops to Shanxi to quell the rebellion?" The staff was still a little reluctant, "Why is there no movement from the court?"
"Humph, these people are all about treating a sore foot and treating a headache. Before, the situation in southern Shanxi was dangerous, so they wanted to take advantage of us. Later, Shanxi Town won several battles near Linfen and felt that the situation had improved and there was no need for it. , so we won’t be mobilized. Don’t you think we should get Xuzhou back first?”
Feng Tang said calmly: "It's okay, it saves this thing from running in both directions and asking us to turn around halfway. That would be useless."
"Shanxi Town put down the rebellion in southern Shanxi so easily? My subordinates remember that Shanxi Town only sent more than 10,000 troops south? Did the rebels go south so easily?" The staff was also a little confused, "Then why did Shaanxi get so far? At a loss, in a mess? At least there are still four towns..."
"Hmph, how many people are left in the four towns who can fight, except Yulin Town?" Feng Tang said in a dull tone, "Besides, if Ziying hadn't gone, would Xie Zhenye still be able to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the four towns? Ziying wrote a letter saying that Ma Jinbao The performance was good, but there were only more than 10,000 people in Guyuan Town, and the rest was really empty. Yulin Town could not be moved, so as soon as the main force of the Shaanxi rebel army crossed the river and entered southern Shanxi, Shanxi was in chaos."
"No matter how chaotic it is, Shanxi Town will still be defeated. It's a pity that we can't go." The staff said with regret, "It seems that Shanxi will be calmed down soon. Brother Keng may be able to use this to return to Jinggao." Already."
"I hope so, but Ziying wrote in a letter saying that the situation in southern Shanxi may recur. He is not optimistic about it, but it has nothing to do with us anymore. Let's just fight in our Xuzhou." Feng Tang waved his hand, "Go and make arrangements. Let’s plan. Since we are going to fight, we have to think carefully about how to fight, and we have to come up with a comprehensive strategy.”
The staff went down, but Feng Tang sat down. He needed to figure out his future plans.
There is no doubt that the court is a little suspicious of him, or it is purely worried about the warriors, and he is currently the leader of the warrior group. When the older generation of warrior leaders represented by Li Chengliang and Ma Gui come to an end, it will be their turn to People including Wang Ziteng, Niu Jizong, himself, and Chen Jixian came forward.
In the current situation, both Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong have been driven into the rebellious side. As long as Jiangnan is pacified in the future, these two families will naturally be wiped out, leaving only themselves and Chen Jixian.
The situation between myself and Chen Jixian is also different.
Ziying took the civil service path, and theoretically she would not go back to the military career. This is why the court was somewhat worried about her, but was still polite.
According to their thinking, they must make full use of their functions, but they should not let themselves grow to the point where the tail is too big to fall off.
It is very likely that when Jiangnan is established, he will be sent back to Liaodong, and he will be given the honorary position of governor of Jiliao. After a few years, he will be about the same age and his body will get older, and then he will go home to take care of himself and have grandchildren.
According to common sense, this does not seem to be an unacceptable result, but Feng Tang had to think about the Feng family.
The Feng family has only a few heirs, with only Ziying. Now good news has finally come. The second wife has given birth to a concubine. At least the Feng family has a successor to the next generation.
But civil servants have never paid attention to inheritance, and if they cannot read books, then the next generation will be in decline. As for Wu Xun, the three families of the Feng family have titles, so logically they should inherit them, but inheritance is inheritance. If he cannot be in the military If you continue to maintain your influence, it will be difficult for your grandchildren to get better opportunities.
Look at the Jia family now as the most typical example.
Thinking about how powerful Jia Yuan and Jia Yan brothers were at the beginning, they followed Taizu to conquer the world and followed the merits of the dragon. However, with the passing of the two brothers, Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua failed to gain a foothold in the army. The glory of the Jia family Wealth is like a loft in the sand, quickly collapsing.
When it comes to the generation of Jia Jing, Jia She, and Jia Zheng, Jia Jing is pretty good. At most, he made a wrong bet, but his idea is correct, while Jia She and Jia Zheng are just a fool.
And among the many children of the huge Jia family, none of them served in the army. The dignified Duke of the two countries, from the Dragon family, was reduced to this, and he could be called a phoenix with no feathers, worse than a chicken.
Although there is some reason for the unfaithfulness of the children here, it is not a big deal.
Without the long-term planning reasons of the person in charge of the family, to this extent, there is no way to save the situation, so you can only let others control you, and they can uproot you for any reason.
If there are really ten or eight children of the Jia family who serve as generals, generals, and guerrillas in the army, how can the imperial court easily touch the Jia family like this? Look at the Li family and the Ma family. Although Li Chengliang and Ma Gui have come down, their children are still serving in border towns such as Liaodong, Jizhen, and Datong. Many of them even work in the inland health stations. The Li family and the Ma family are still He is a distinguished person from a border area.
Li Chengliang worked until he was eighty years old before becoming an official. He himself is only in his early fifties this year and is in good health. Not to mention working until eighty, he will be fine for at least another twenty years, right?
If some of my grandchildren fail to study, can't they join the military and inherit their family business?
Now that she has a son from a concubine, and Ziying has so many wives and concubines, it is foreseeable that there will be more than ten children in the future. It is certainly impossible for all of these children to be able to read, so the best place to go is in the army.
Feng Tang had always hoped that the Feng family could become a prominent border martial arts family like the Li family and the Ma family, and not be like the Jia family that disappeared in three generations. However, the biggest problem was the lack of heirs, and the distant branch was of great significance to Feng Tang. Not much, he hopes Ziying's descendants can carry forward the Feng family.
I can still work hard in the army for twenty years to lay a good foundation for my grandchildren, including supporting the children of the Duan family who already have some positions, so that they can grow in these twenty years. When Ziying's descendants As you grow up, you can gain support from these uncles.
Ziying may not agree with his idea, but Feng Tang thinks it doesn't matter. Ziying has his own way, and he is just paving another way for him.
The road to becoming a civil servant is not smooth sailing. Although Ziying seems to be very popular now, who can say that it will always be smooth sailing for him?
No one can predict the ups and downs of the government. Even if you join the cabinet and become a cabinet minister, you may still become the target of public criticism and exit sadly.
So Feng Tang decided that he could go this way. Of course, if he wanted to go this way, he would definitely need to communicate and cooperate with Ziying. Without affecting Ziying's career path, he could start it himself.

Seeing Xiuyan looking a little worried, Feng Ziying stood up, took Xiuyan's shoulder, and asked: "What's wrong? You seem to be a little uneasy these past two days. Are you feeling unwell, or are you at home?" Is something wrong?"
Xing Xiuyan was startled and shook her head subconsciously: "No, no,..."
"That means it's definitely happening. How can it be okay after such a surprise?" Feng Ziying laughed, took Xiuyan into her arms, leaned against the pillow, and subconsciously dug her fingers into Xiuyan's arms. In the middle, he slowly twisted and picked up, Xing Xiuyan's body trembled for a while, and he curled up, as if to avoid Feng Ziying's clutches.
Feng Ziying was a little surprised. Xiuyan was very cooperative in the past. What happened today?
Seeing Feng Ziying's confused look, Xiuyan pursed her lips in confusion and frowned: "Sir, I seem to be a bit... these days."
"Well, are you really feeling unwell? Why don't you ask a doctor to come and take a look..." Feng Ziying is still very concerned about women's health. There are no antibiotics these days, and all diseases must be treated early. It can be delayed a little. It will cause a big problem.
"No, it's because Tiangui hasn't come this month. It's already five or six days late." Xiuyan finally said it out, with a look that was both nervous and hopeful, "I'm very punctual. Thank you very much." An extra day is needed, there has never been such a gap of so many days..."
Feng Ziying's eyes lit up, but her hand went to Xiuyan's lower abdomen, "Could it be..."
"I don't know either, and it seems that the same is true for Sister Miaoyu. She was only a few days away from the slave girl. Basically, when her Tiangui ended, I, Tiangui, followed, but her Tiangui never came, but her Tiangui Sometimes it will be a few days late, but like this time it was ten days late, and it has never happened..."
Feng Ziying was shocked by Xing Xiuyan's words. Don't lose everything when you don't have it. When you have it, you have everything, right? Are you so powerful?
I haven’t taken any big supplements during this period, like deer whip and wolfberry
I have been eating these kinds of things all the time, and Professor Zhang has not put aside the exercises. It has been almost a year, and there has been no movement. Why do I suddenly have both of them? Is it possible?
Seeing Feng Ziying's shocked face, Xiuyan quickly said: "Master, it's hard to talk about this kind of thing. I just feel that I am not safe, so I don't dare to say it. The same is true for sister Miaoyu, who is afraid of making a fuss, but the result is that people Disappointed, so..., just..."
"Hey, what are you waiting for? Invite a doctor to come early tomorrow morning and take a good pulse diagnosis. If I can kill two birds with one stone, it will be a great joy." Feng Ziying also became a little excited.
Yingchun gave birth to a son, which finally stabilized the hearts of his father and mother, but now it has attracted the hearts of other women, so there is a dignified and elegant woman like Xiuyan in front of the bed. They all became much more enthusiastic, and I was wondering why I hadn't seen any movement despite working very hard in the past few months. I didn't expect that when there was movement, it would be big movement.
"Sir, please don't show off, just in case..." Xiuyan is still a little worried. Don't expect too much, but the result will be even greater disappointment. Then he will become a joke in the house, and may even be secretly accused. Finger poking.
"What do you have here? I will carry it for you. Even if you don't have it, it doesn't matter. You will have it sooner or later!" Feng Ziying took care of everything.
