Early the next morning, Feng Ziying arranged for Ruixiang to immediately invite the most famous doctor in Xi'an to come to the mansion for a consultation.
As expected, the doctor, Xijin, got double portions. Miaoyu and Xiuyan were both pregnant, which made Feng Ziying excited but also a little puzzled.
It seems that I have never played one dragon and two phoenix with Miaoyu and Xiuyan, so why did I have two of them all at once?
Feng Ziying still respected the two concubines, especially Xiuyan, who was thin-skinned and could not bear to be so wanton.
On the other hand, Miaoyu and Feng Ziying felt that there was still a lot of potential to be tapped. She seemed to have a sense of knowing the taste by eating the marrow, which made Feng Ziying feel like she was her first teacher. She was better than her master.
After thinking about it for a while, I can only attribute it to the fact that I was particularly powerful during that time.
As soon as the news of the second daughter's pregnancy spread in the house, many people were sincerely happy, while some were even more stressed, unable to eat well and unable to sleep at night.
The governor was overjoyed to have twins, and soon word spread throughout Xi'an's official circles. All his colleagues came to congratulate him, and even an old-fashioned person like Zhao Nanxing still sent people to send congratulatory gifts.
Feng Ziying was in a good mood and distributed red envelopes to everyone in the house. The whole house was filled with joy.
Of course, the most depressed and aggrieved person is Bao Qin.
It was said that she had taken the lion's share of the effort, and her husband was working hard on her. However, Miaoyu and Xiuyan rushed to the front, which made her a little anxious.
It is natural to seek medical advice, pray for blessings, and burn incense, but Baoqin also knows that in the final analysis, it has to be done by himself.
Fortunately, Miaoyu and Xiuyan are both pregnant now, so Feng Ziying basically has no choice but to rest in her room at night.
But no matter how many opportunities there are, you have to seize them. Baoqin's biggest worry is not to wait until he returns to Beijing. It will be really embarrassing for him to be alone while others have children.
For Feng Ziying, the affairs of the back house are certainly gratifying, but official duties are more important.
After learning that his father had launched the Xuzhou offensive with Chen Jixian, he also knew that his father must be unhappy.
The governorship of the three sides was removed, and the leadership of the Northwest Army was a bit unfair. Chen Jixian sold both sides. Jiangbei was handed over to the Northwest Army, but he was preparing to go straight to the south of the Yangtze River.
I don’t know if the imperial court was so indulging in Chen Jixian. Did they really think that the Huaiyang Army was of no concern and could be taken down at any time, or was it because they just wanted to use him to contain their father?
But were Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu captured so easily? Xuzhou is easy to fight, but Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu may not be so easy to eliminate.
Especially since Chen Jixian made it clear that it was just a false shot, and his father's Northwest Army would have to come to the main battlefield, but could the Northwest Army alone annihilate the old Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army?
Feng Ziying's eyes wandered around the map. This battle was not that easy to fight.
He had figured out his father's intention. The imperial court just wanted to regain Xuzhou, so just give up the south, attack from the north, not encircle, and let Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu go south.
Xuzhou's territory is so large. Chen Jixian captured Huai'an and Yangzhou without even cutting off the canal. Materials from Nanjing are still being transported to Xuzhou in a steady stream. The tacit understanding between the two sides is really self-evident, but now they have We are going to attack Xuzhou.
If water transportation is really cut off, supplies from the south of the Yangtze River cannot be sent to Xuzhou. The armies under Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu have long been unable to support them. They will either go south to Huai'an or explode and collapse. It's a good thing now that they have resorted to such a trick.
Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu took the overland route south to Fengyang and Luzhou, or they could go directly to Jinling. Feng Ziying could not predict how the situation would evolve next.
As the weather gets warmer, larger-scale planting of potatoes and sweet potatoes has begun to spread across the province. Yan'an, Qingyang, Pingliang, and Xi'an are planting on a larger scale, while Fengxiang, Gongchang, Lintao, and Hanzhong have all begun trial planting to varying degrees. .
Especially for potatoes, Yan'an Prefecture is fully spreading them, especially in some mountains and hills that are not suitable for growing wheat and corn. They are planted on a large scale, resulting in a serious shortage of potatoes originally intended to be used as seeds, and they have to be harvested from potatoes. Bring out more.
Feng Ziying is not sure how widespread this method of planting will be.
To a certain extent, it will lead to variety degradation and thus yield reduction, but I believe that with the first round of planting experience, this aspect can make up for the losses caused by seed degradation.
God has opened my eyes. The rain in Shaanxi province this year is slightly better than last year. Although overall it is still less rainy and it is still a dry year, but compared with last year and the year before that, the situation is much better, especially for For potato and sweet potato cultivation, it is already very good.
Sun Yijie finally left and went to the Shandong Chengxuan Political Envoy Department to serve as the Right Chief Envoy. It was a good promotion and he was overjoyed.
The new inspector was transferred from Sichuan Chengxuan Political Envoy Si Zuo Councilor Zhang Nai.
Zhang Nai is from Huating, Songjiang Prefecture. Songjiang is a place that produces talented people. There are many officials in the court, such as Xia Jiayu from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Lu Shusheng from Nanjing, and Dong Qichang, who are all from Songjiang. Yuan Keli and Dong Qichang and Lu Shusheng They have a lot of connections, so the Songjiang party is quite powerful.
Feng Ziying has some friendship with Xia Jiayu, Yuan Keli and Lu Shusheng, so Zhang Nai's arrival is not a bad thing, and Zhang Nai is also a practical person, so the two get along fairly well.
All in all, I was still too young and inexperienced to handle the personnel affairs of a province. Although Chai Ke made some conveniences, Gao Panlong was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so many things were unsatisfactory.
Pan Ruzhen was recommended by Feng Ziying to serve as the left counselor in the Chief Envoy Department. He was promoted from the fourth rank to the third rank, which was regarded as a promotion.
With Zhao Nanxing not taking care of much, Li Tengfang needed a right-hand assistant, and Pan Ruzhen could assist Li Tengfang. Li Tengfang would succeed Zhao Nanxing in the future. Even if Pan Ruzhen could not directly serve as the right chief envoy, he could use this step to move to a better position.
The governor of Yan'an Prefecture was transferred from Geng Ruqi.
Geng Ruqi was directly transferred from the Chongqing Prefecture to the Yan'an Prefecture, which can be regarded as a reward from the imperial court for his performance in Sichuan.
Although Yang Yinglong's Bozhou rebel army has not yet been completely wiped out, it is actually struggling to its death.
As Wang Ziteng's Denglai army retreated to Jiangxi, the situation in Huguang was cleared, and Xiong Tingbi could free up his hands to completely deal with Yang Yinglong. Even if the An family and She family started to take action, as long as there was no interference from Wang Ziteng, Xiong Tingbi was confident that Yang Yinglong would be solved. This is the Tusi Rebellion that spans the three provinces of Huguang, Sichuan, and Guizhou.
It should be said that Geng Ruqi and Sun Chengzong's painstaking training in Sichuan laid a solid foundation for Xiong Tingbi. This was also the basis for Xiong Tingbi to slowly but irreversibly compress the Bozhou rebels after taking over.
Although it took a longer time, with the arrival of the spring of the eleventh year of Yonglong, the Bozhou Rebellion and even the An Bangyan and She Chongming Rebellion following Yang Yinglong saw the dawn of complete annihilation.
The improvement of the situation in the southwest does not mean that the overall situation is clear. The chaos in the south of the Yangtze River is lurking in the north, and the flash point of the war in Liaodong is still hiding potential dangers at any time.
But for Feng Ziying, the most important thing is to carry out spring sowing and plowing in an orderly manner and lay a solid foundation for the summer harvest. At the same time, doing his best to promote personnel adjustments in Shaanxi officialdom is the biggest gain.
After Zheng Chongjian completed the first phase of the reorganization of the Xi'an Guards, Feng Ziying was officially recommended by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, especially as the magistrate of Fengxiang Mansion.
This is also an exceptional promotion, but Zheng Chongjian came directly from the Ministry of War, and he went to a remote and poor place like Shaanxi, so it was reasonable to be promoted to two levels.
Although Fengxiang Prefecture is not big, its location is very important. It is close to Xi'an Prefecture and is considered a part of the Guanzhong Plain. If Lian Guoshi can come to Xi'an Prefecture as the prefect as he wishes, and Geng Ruxi becomes the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, then Shaanxi will be considered as the prefect. A preliminary layout has been completed.
"Fengxiang is connected to Pingliang to the north, Gongchang to the west, and Hanzhong to the south. It is also a barrier to Xi'an. Its status is self-evident. Dazhang, you have never worked in a place before. This time you go to Fengxiang, and you must do it well. After polishing it off, Jun Yu did a great job in Yongping Mansion, and he was also well-received when he was appointed to Shanxi Province as the Chief Envoy. I hope you can also achieve some real results in Fengxiang..."
Zheng Chongjian did not expect that the appointment would come so quickly.
He was originally borrowed from the Ministry of War to help train troops. As he was practicing, Feng Ziying suddenly wanted him to stay and help comb the troops.
Fengxiang's position in the management department was very important, and his conditions were not bad. He had been promoted twice in a row as a colleague. Zheng Chongjian himself wanted to do something in the local area, so they hit it off.
"Don't worry, Ziying. Although I have never worked in a local area, I have experienced a lot from Shanxi to Shaanxi. The situation in Shaanxi has stabilized. There are Boya and Yuxuan in the Guards watching over you. There should be no problem, Feng Xiang, I would like to ask you, are you just limited to the current situation, or do you have other ideas?"
Zheng Chongjian understood Feng Ziying's thoughts very well. He didn't believe that Feng Ziying put himself in Fengxiang just to stabilize Guanzhong.
"It's better to understand me in Dazhang. Fengxiang is very important because it connects Gongchang and Lintao further west, as well as the entire Shaanxi Xingdusi territory, the two prefectures of Gansu and even Hami and Shazhou. It's very difficult now. The court even intends to give up temporarily, but Once you give up, it will take twice as much effort to get it back, so I hope to stabilize the situation in the west."
"The Yarkand people are still in a state of civil strife. It would have been a good time for us to expand westward, but we are not living up to our expectations and are beyond our capabilities. So I hope to survive these few years and wait until the court calms down. We must We need to take back the original homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties. There is no reason why we could effectively manage these places during the Han and Tang Dynasties, but now we can’t. This shouldn’t be the case.”
Zheng Chongjian was stunned by Feng Ziying's words and was speechless for a long time.
