Feng Ziying had already predicted that he could only lead his army south. First, he was the right servant.
The position of Right Minister is quite particular.
Zuo Shilang is generally the standing general in the ordinary sense. In addition to Shangshu, Zuo Shilang is also the Zuo Shilang. Although he is also clearly in charge, he can basically intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of War, depending on his personal style.
Sun Chengzong is more cautious and doesn't stretch his hand that far. If you change it to a senior one, one who relies on his elders and is domineering, he will have to tell you what to do often.
The right minister of the Ministry of War is even more special.
There is only one right minister in other ministries, but when there are many right ministers in the Ministry of War, there can be three or four. Of course, except for one who is a serious minister of the Eight Hundred Remaining Ministry, the others are like the ministers who were added when Feng Ziying went to Shaanxi to quell the chaos.
This situation is not uncommon. As long as a civil servant wants to be sent out to serve as a governor or go on an expedition, he basically needs to be admitted. Of course, if the qualifications are high enough, he does not need to be admitted.
If a young civil servant like Feng Ziying wants to take charge of a party, he must be promoted to the imperial court. That's why he was promoted to the imperial censor of the Imperial Palace and the right minister of the Ministry of War.
So in this case, in theory, it would be him, the right servant, who would go on an expedition.
Secondly, I am more familiar with Jiangnan, both in terms of the place and personal connections in Jiangnan.
Although Sun Chengzong and he were both from the north, Sun Chengzong was more familiar with the north, but he was no stranger to Jiangnan.
Moreover, Shen Yixiu, whom he married, was from a scholarly family in Suzhou, Xue Baochai was from a noble family of martial arts merchants in Jinling, Lin Daiyu was also from a prominent family in Gusu, and her father had been a salt patrol censor in Yangzhou for many years, so no matter in every aspect, he was More suitable.
In addition, she is no stranger to maritime navigation. From Dagu to Liaonan, and from Niuzhuang back to Dagu, Feng Ziying has already gained some experience. In particular, Denglai Navy Shen Yourong is more familiar with it and organized the fleet. Xue Biao is also his in-law, these two points are also crucial.
Now that it was confirmed that he was going south, Feng Ziying naturally had to make full preparations.
Xue Biao also came to Beijing twice to discuss that the army would set out from Dagu, Yuguan and Niuzhuang respectively, and then gather in Dengzhou and then set off southward as a unified force.
Of course, one group went south directly from Dagu via the canal. This group was led by Sun Chengzong. It had to be a little slower. The two sides had to keep the time correct. Basically, the difference was less than one or two days.
This side went south from Dagu via the canal, and the other side went south from the coast of Dengzhou. When Sun Chengzong led his army to attack Huai'an from Xuzhou, Feng Ziying also led his army to land from Jiangdu.
However, when it comes to the battlefield, it is normal for accidents and misfortunes to occur. If you are too rigid about this, then there is no need to fight. It can only be said to be a matter of picking and choosing.
Naturally, it was impossible to hide such a major event from Wang Wenyan, Wu Yaoqing, Gu Dengfeng and the others. Even one or two of their subordinates knew about it, but they were all reliable people in the center, and by this time, the arrow was ready to be fired. Even if the news leaks out, I guess we will have to bite the bullet and go on.
It was expected that the offensive would be launched ten days before Emperor Wan Tong ascended the throne, and a result that would satisfy the cabinet would be achieved within ten days. In other words, when Emperor Wan Tong ascended the throne, news of the capture of Yangzhou and Jinling should have spread back to the capital.
This approach is actually a bit like slapping the newly enthroned Emperor Wan Tong in the face, but he has no choice, it's just a matter of time.
No one can tolerate the three towns in the south of the Yangtze River that are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Even Tang Binyin and Miao Changqi will hold this attitude. Although it is not easy for them to express this attitude now, as long as they join the cabinet, they will definitely Will side with the Cabinet.
In seven days, Feng Ziying will lead his army from Dagu directly to Dengzhou. They will rendezvous in Dengzhou and then the ship will sail around the Shandong Peninsula without stopping sail. They will rest briefly at Chengshanwei and Aoshanwei, and finally at Nanshanwei. The Donghai Zhongzhong Station in Haizhou, Zhili, was the last station for supplies, and then it was directly connected to the Yangtze River Estuary.
Although the East China Sea Institute is on the territory of Haizhou, it is under the jurisdiction of Denglai Navy, and Haizhou has no right to interfere. This is also the last stop. Here we must summarize all aspects of the intelligence collected in the early stage, and then make comprehensive judgments and make decisions. Make the choice to launch the final blow against Jiangnan.
Wu Yaoqing has
Having gone to Yangzhou early, Gu Dengfeng also sneaked into Jinling quietly. This hidden line in Jinling still needs to be used.
Jia Yucun was a smart man. He had written to him a long time ago, not only from Feng Ziying, but also from Ye Fangqi and Li. It was obvious that he had not been optimistic about Prince Yi Zhong for a long time, and he also realized that only the one who could dominate the power in the court in the future It could be the cabinet rather than the emperor, not to mention that he himself was from Huzhou and was a Jinshi, so he happened to be connected through this relationship.
*********
After pulling out Guo Qinyun's body with satisfaction, Feng Ziying felt that her bones were weak and her muscles were weak and exhausted, but this kind of joy was hard to get from others.
Guo Qinyun's figure is petite and exquisite, but full of vitality and rhythm, which is in sharp contrast to Yuanchun's big bones and fleshy body, but the bone-eroding and ecstatic taste of her body is the same.
Yuanchun left here to return to the palace when she was in Shen Dynasty. Feng Ziying had to spend a lot of time to coax her back to the palace. Because Guo Qinyun is coming at night, and if we really encounter him, it will be Mars hitting the earth.
Yuanchun seemed to be aware that he had something on his mind. Although he was enjoying himself in bed, he had something on his mind, and he couldn't hide it from the person next to him.
It's just an ordinary thing, but this time when going south, the cabinet will never admit it once it fails. In the end, Zhang Huaichang, Huang Ruliang, Sun Chengzong and themselves will take the blame.
Huang Ruliang could also use the excuse that the Ministry of War had lied about military information and deceived him. Li Sancai would probably be responsible for some oversights, but Zhang Huaichang, Sun Chengzong and himself would not be able to escape the blame.
It would probably be cheap for Zhang Huaichang to dismiss him immediately and never activate him. Of course, at his age, it is impossible to activate him again, so it doesn't matter.
But Sun Chengzong was in his prime. If it hadn't been for this matter, he could have worked for at least ten more years, and he was a rising star. If he was dismissed and never used, it would be a big loss.
Of course, Feng Ziying is confident that even if she is dismissed, she can still recover, but it may take several years of dormancy. He definitely doesn't want to waste a few years like this. It will have a great impact on his plans, so he must win this battle.
"Are you worried?" Guo Qinyun quickly woke up from the lingering feeling. She didn't come here just to have fun with this man, she had a more important purpose.
After countless appointments, Zhou Peisheng's shoes were worn out, and the man finally agreed to meet this time.
I have to say that women's minds are extremely sharp. My behavior in bed seems to be not bad. How can I know that there is something on my mind?
It's not like I haven't experienced strong winds and waves before. When I went to Ningxia, Shaanxi, and Liaodong, it didn't seem like this. I can only say that I was too worried about gains and losses.
"Who doesn't have anything on their mind? Don't you?" Feng Ziying asked calmly.
"Of course I do, but you should understand what's on my mind." Guo Qinyun showed no sign of weakness. She turned over and sat on Feng Ziying's body, her gaze glaring. Feng Ziying's guards and Zhou Peisheng were kept outside the hospital, and she was not afraid of being discovered.
In other words, it's now time. Either he and his son will be relegated to the cold palace and never make a difference, or they will die. What else are there to be afraid of?
This man is not afraid of being discovered having an affair with a noble concubine in the palace, so what else is he afraid of?
"Of course I understand, but the general trend is like this, who can reverse the change? At this time, even Ye Xianggao is powerless. He cannot go against the opinions of the entire court sergeant. No one can do it."
Feng Ziying spread her hands calmly, "You should understand this, and I can't do it even more."
"No, there is no room for maneuver in this matter. I'm not talking about now but in the future." Guo Qinyun's face was full of ambition and unwillingness. This look is somewhat familiar. Where have you seen it?
Well, Wang Xifeng seemed to have the same attitude on her face when she was riding on her body and describing her grand blueprint for cement business.
Her eyes passed over Guo Qinjun's bare chest. It was really full and manageable, but also strong and straight. She couldn't tell that she was a woman with a child of twelve years old. Even if she gave birth to a child at fourteen, it would be two years old. She is sixteen or seventeen years old, so she is considered to be a double ten beauty.
"The future? Who can tell what will happen in the future?" Feng Ziying certainly understands what Guo Qinjun means by the future. Everyone is focusing on the future. Dai Quan also came to the door through Ying Fei, holding Lin Ruhai's letter, which shocked Feng Ziying.
Lin Ruhai's relationship with the Supreme Emperor and Concubine Ying was extraordinary, far beyond that of ordinary monarchs and ministers. Feng Ziying had known this for a long time.
The term of the Salt Patrol Censor is usually three years, and rarely exceeds three years. However, Lin Ruhai was able to serve for more than ten years. Except for the emperor's die-hard confidant, any explanation is feeble, so Lin Ruhai was able to hold this position. Sitting there for so many years.
Lin Ruhai left hundreds of thousands of family assets to Dai Yu, which was approved by the Supreme Emperor and even gave him a special order. Even Long Jinwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not dare to make it difficult.
In the past few years, the Metropolitan Procuratorate set off a storm over the salt policy in Zhejiang and Zhejiang. Feng Ziying was also worried about whether it would affect the salt policy in Lianghuai. Although Lin Ruhai was dead, we still had to get to the bottom of it, and whether Lin Ruhai’s account had been cleared. It's really hard to tell if I have to look it up.
Feng Ziying also roughly knew that the reason why Lin Ruhai was so loyal to the Supreme Emperor was probably because of the matter of Miaoyu's mother. Even Feng Ziying, who was so popular, would not dare to do such a thing. You have to do it. It would be better to resolve her status as a convict wife.
Lin Ruhai, who was not the censor of the Salt Patrol, was almost crucified by the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate because of this matter. If Emperor Yuanxi had not opened the net, Lin Ruhai would not have been able to stand up.
