"Then Wen Yan, let's talk about it. Let's talk about Miao Zhuang first. The flag-bearer guard, the first guard of the Shangsanqinjun, is on par with Long Jinwei (Jin Yiwei). He also has a deep connection with Long Jinwei. This This guy seems to be very confident." Feng Ziying looked through the information about Miao Zhuang and asked with interest.
"Miao Zhuang, a native of Cangzhou, Hejian Prefecture, was appointed Longjinwei Nanzhen Fusi Deputy Qianhu in the 33rd year of Yuanxi. In the 38th year of Yuanxi, he was appointed as the commander of Shenshu Camp. In the 40th year of Yuanxi, he was appointed as the commander of Shenshu Camp. In the second year of Yonglong He was appointed as the commander of the flag-bearer guard. "Wang Wenyan knew the basic information of these officials by heart." It can't be seen from the resume alone, but Miao Zhuang served as the commander of the Shenshu Camp in the 40th year of Yuanxi. In the first year of Yonglong, he was almost killed. He was sent to the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, but in the second year of Yonglong's reign he was suddenly promoted to commander of the flag-bearing guards. It is said that Emperor Xu's concubine played a role here.
"Xu Junru? Why did Miao Zhuang get involved with this woman?" Feng Ziying was surprised. He had already somewhat ignored this woman. With the downfall of King Shou, this woman who originally had the most respected status in the palace suddenly became dim. It's a bit interesting to think that Miao Zhuang is actually Xu Junru's person.
"Well, Xia Bingzhong should have played a role in it. Xia Bingzhong is also from Cangzhou, Hejian Prefecture. He and Miao Zhuang should be fellow villagers and have a very close relationship." Wang Wenyan said casually: "In addition, when Miao Zhuang was in Shenji Camp, and now The commander of the Shenji Battalion, Jiang Zishou, had a close relationship. It was said that they were sworn brothers, creating a Taoyuan Three Brothers. The other person was Wu Tong, the deputy commander of the Zhongcheng Military and Horse Division, and Wu Tong was Wu Guifei's cousin. Jiang Zishou is a descendant of the Jiang family of Pingyuan Marquis.
"Then Wen Yan, isn't this Xu Junru also related to Wu Guxia?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but frown.
Xianxi Concubine Wu Guxia was a noble concubine together with Jia Yuanchun, and her father Wu Tiande and uncle Wu Tianyou were both veteran generals in the army. One was in the Shizhou Guard and the other was an official in the Yongzhou Ningyuan Guard. Of course, they were so far away. The officials do not have much influence on Beijing, but Huguang is not at peace now, and Feng Ziying does not want to make it too complicated.
"That's not the case. Wu Tong is the cousin of Concubine Wu, and he will definitely only put the interests of the Wu family first. This kind of superficial sworn brotherhood becomes very weak when it comes to real conflicts of interest."
Wang Wenyan did not agree with the custom in Beijing of always worshiping brothers, or worshiping as foster fathers and brothers. Due to the interests, brothers sometimes have to be put aside, let alone those who are not related by blood.
"However, the relationship between the women in this palace is indeed difficult to describe in a nutshell. Sometimes they are friends and sometimes enemies, and sometimes even they themselves may not be able to understand it."
This series of intertwined relationships made Feng Ziying a little dizzy, but Wang Wenyan knew it very well.
smiled.
"It seems that this Miao Zhuang is not simple. He actually has such complicated connections." Feng Ziying
"Sir, none of them are easy. Do you think Liao Junxiong and Du Keli are easy? They are no less than Miao Zhuang. Let me slowly do it for you." Wang Wenyan shook his head repeatedly, "This man who has been serving in Beijing for a long time None of the officials are simple, especially the generals in the army. Compared with civilian officials, the relationship is more complicated and profound. "
There are three pro-army, flag-bearer guard, four-guard battalion, and warrior battalion. Each army has one commander, two commanders, and four commanders, forming a high-level general of the pro-army. The three armies total 20 For a military general, the most important one is of course the commander, but commanding colleagues and commanding gold matters are not simple. They directly command middle and low-level officers and troops.
It took more than half an hour just to talk about the situation of Miao Zhuang, Liao Junxiong and Du Keli. As for the situation of the three commanders, Tongzhi and Jin Shi, it was even more complicated. Feng Ziying could only temporarily Forget it, if I continue to talk about this, I probably wouldn't be able to finish it in a day, and there is no need for him to understand it in too much detail.
There are also three major camps in the Beijing camp. Except for the fifth military camp, which is now an empty shell, the Shenshu camp and the Shenji camp are in similar situations to the Shangsanqin army. The fifth military camp is much larger than the Shenshu camp and the Shenji camp. The number of lieutenants and gold officers is also larger.
"It seems that it is still a bit tricky to adjust the personnel power of the three pro-army and three battalions. It affects the whole body. The intertwining between them is not clear to outsiders. I guess Lord Zhang and the ministers in the cabinet are also not aware of it. I’m still unclear, and I’ve only just realized that it’s so complicated.” Feng Ziying was a little bit confused.
He held his forehead tiredly, "Wen Yan, in this way, you and Yao Qing can plan and come up with one, preferably two or three reasonable options to choose from, and also attach the reasons for such choices. and advantages and disadvantages,
"Sir, I'm afraid you have to make a directional statement about this matter first, such as the court's tendency to select people, which ones are taboo, which ones need to be considered. In addition, there must be a general direction for priorities. Taken together, we Only then can we make a good combination." Wang Wenyan suggested.
This is a pertinent statement, and Feng Ziying agrees that he also has some of his own ideas that need to be incorporated into it, but in the end the opinions of Zhang Huaichang and Sun Chengzong must be integrated.
"Well, I will give you a guiding strategy. In addition, priority will be given to the generals in the Northwest Army, but not too many, just two or three people, and it should not be too high, guerrillas are better, -" Some words are not suitable to be put into words, just give them verbal instructions.
Wang Wenyan understood and nodded to indicate understanding.
"In addition, Wen Yan, you also know that Cong Long Wuxun in the capital is known as the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises. At first, even our Feng family was not included among them, but after so many years, especially the Ningxia Rebellion and the Nanjing The rebellion of the puppet dynasty has almost been tortured by Long Wuxun. Needless to say, the four kings will definitely not be able to get up. Among the eight princes, maybe one or two can survive, but among the twelve princes, they can think about it. The imperial court is not willing to be too harsh and will appropriately win over one or two people who are willing to follow us."
Feng Ziying didn't go into too much detail. Wang Wenyan could taste it himself. He didn't need a heavy hammer to play the drum. With Wang Wenyan's wisdom, he naturally understood how to do it.
**********
According to the news from Han Qi, Chen Yejun returned to Beijing quite handsomely, but after contacting him, he couldn't get anything useful. According to Han Qi, Chen Yejun has changed a lot and has become much more mature and deep. There were not many valuable words that could come out of his mouth.
This only added to Feng Ziying's curiosity and suspicion.
Entering Beijing at this time, and still being so watertight, doesn't it mean that the plan is big?
However, according to Han Qi's observation, Chen Yejun will not leave Beijing in the short term, so we can wait and see. "Who are you talking about?" Feng Ziying was surprised, "Commander Zheng Chongjun?"
It has not been long since Zheng Chongjun was transferred from the commander of the North City Army and Horse Division to the commander of the Nancheng Army and Horse Division.
Although the two have some friendship due to their previous relationship in Shuntian Mansion, Zheng Chongjun must have some intentions when he comes to visit at this time.
If the commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division wants to seek an official position in the Sanqin Army and the three major battalions of the Beijing Camp, it actually does not make much sense, because the command of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division requires you to directly compete for the Sanqin Army and the Beijing Camp. The commander of the three major battalions definitely lacks some background, but if you are asked to be a fellow commander, I'm afraid you will feel that it is useless again.
If Zheng Chongjun came here now because he really wanted to seek the commander of the Shangsanqin Army or the commander of the Shenshu Camp Shenji Camp, this would be too embarrassing for him.
"My father, Zheng Xuantong, has been idle in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army for several years now. He used to serve as a guerrilla in Xuanfu Town. Later, he was not tolerated by Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong, so he had to retreat to the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. This time I heard Your Excellency has received an order from the imperial court to purge all the armies in Beijing, so...
Zheng Chongjun was only thirty-five or sixty-six years old, and he was very impressive. He became the commander of the Military and Horse Division at such a young age, and it was not just because of his sister. He was a ruthless character from Wu Jinshi background, and he had connections, so he could rise to the top.
He came straight to the point, which made it difficult for Feng Ziying to refuse.
This person is a talent, but he must use it for himself. The other party showed enough gestures, but not enough.
"I'm afraid your father is already fifty, right?" Feng Ziying asked softly.
Zheng Chongjun laughed, showing his white teeth, "Are you worried about my father's health? My father has just passed fifty. Don't worry, my father can still eat and drink at home every day. He plays with stone locks and guns every day. When it comes to horseback riding and archery, only three or five men can't get close to you, and even ten or eight men can't get close to you. Even my martial arts skills were passed down from my father."
"Oh?" Feng Ziying didn't know this. She didn't expect Zheng Chongjun's father to be so strong. He could still be so strong and durable after being over fifty years old. That was a bit interesting, "But Zheng Da
People should also be aware that this adjustment is mainly focused on the Beijing Camp and the Shangsanqin Army, but you are in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, I am afraid it is not suitable for you."
"I heard that the Denglai Army, the Xuanfu Army, and the Datong Army were also adjusting their scope at this time. The Denglai Army was newly built, and the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army have not yet been replenished. There must be a lot to be strengthened. My father is a man who can't rest. If it is possible, please consider it, sir, and if you have any instructions,"
Zheng Chongjian didn't say any more, but it was already very explicit.
Feng Ziying did not agree to the other party and it was impossible to have any clear opinions in this situation. The other party also understood that it was enough to say it.
But this was the first time Feng Ziying encountered a son who came to replace his father.
But Zheng Chongjun dared to be so obvious about running an official position for his father. Naturally, he had some confidence. However, since even his daughter was sent to the palace, it seems that Zheng Chongjun and his father are not pedantic and old-fashioned people, and they should be willing to work hard. Yes, why didn’t Emperor Yonglong give Zheng Xuan, who was barely considered the head of the country, a half-official position?
It is not difficult to find out these reasons, and you will know them with a little inquiry, but how to consider them needs to be discussed again.
