Shen Yixiu's words touched Feng Ziying's mind.
The Minister of War is indeed the easiest person to make meritorious deeds, but of course he is also the riskiest.
Whether they were pacifying Shaanxi or the governor of Liaodong, they all carried huge risks and pressures. If they were not careful, they might get stuck in the quagmire or even be defeated and dismissed.
Not to mention the battle in the south of the Yangtze River, it was a bit of a fight for one's career, so the princes of the court highly recognized the Ministry of War's responsibility to "go alone" this time.
As the initiator, Feng Ziying was also regarded by the cabinet ministers as a model of "politics and taking the overall situation into account", so she benefited a lot, even if it was not visible for a while, the ministers all kept it in mind.
As for rewards such as royal titles and honorary titles, they are nothing but trivial matters, a simple effort and not worth mentioning.
Perhaps for others, serving as the Minister of War is not necessarily a good place to be.
Yuan Keli was regarded as a leader among civil servants and military officials in the DPRK.
As governor of Shanxi, he was finally given the title of Right Minister of the Ministry of War, which seemed well deserved. However, the chaos in Shanxi has not been settled yet, so that the government and the central government continue to criticize and question him.
This makes Zhang Huaichang doubt whether it was a wrong choice to recommend Yuan Keli as governor of Shanxi.
However, Feng Ziying still knows Yuan Keli's ability. Not everyone can shine immediately when they step on the stage.
Although Yuan Keli has served in the Ministry of War for many years, this is his first time fighting alone. If you give him some time to adapt, he should be able to solve the problem.
But it can also be seen from this that not everyone is qualified to be the Minister of War, especially the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. Outstanding figures like Yuan Keli have such a hard time, but what about the others?
But this seems to be a piece of cake for Feng Ziying.
From Liaodong to Jiangnan, within two years, he made great achievements in succession, and even forced the court to consider what to do about such continuous meritorious service and promotion to a noble rank.
Under the current situation that the entire court situation is becoming increasingly stable, there is still an internal hidden danger in the White Lotus Sect. The court is obviously not willing to allow himself to continue to work as the right minister of the Ministry of War.
If the situation in the White Lotus Sect becomes urgent again, let yourself put out the fire. Once it is put out, how will you reward yourself?
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying herself felt a little funny. She had single-handedly forced the court to consider these issues. She didn't know whether it was a happy event or a ridiculous and sad thing?
"Where does the good wife think her husband might go next?" Feng Ziying asked while tilting her head and teasing her daughter's bun.
"How can we judge this concubine?" Shen Yixiu shook his head, but then hesitantly said: "I heard that Mr. Gu Ge was very dissatisfied with the imperial court for leaving him in Jiangnan?"
Feng Ziying was startled and subconsciously sat up straight, "Are you saying that the court might let me serve as governor of Jiangnan?"
Shen Yixiu shook his head again, "Definitely not in a short time. Mr. Gu Ge has only been in Jiangnan for a few months. At least he has to deal with the follow-up matters and put up the Jiangnan governor's office. The Nanjing Sixth Department is so abandoned. , how to deal with complicated affairs without a decent yamen?"
"Then the lady means that as time goes by, this will become possible?" Feng Ziying seriously thought about this possibility. Not to mention, the possibility is not small.
Perhaps the only obstacle is that the first governor of Jiangnan is a cabinet minister. As a minister of the Ministry of War, it seems a bit weak to be the governor of Jiangnan.
The governor of the south of the Yangtze River is not like the governor of Shanxi or Shaanxi. He is in charge of the nurturing areas of southern Zhili, such as Suzhou, Yangzhou, Jinling, Songjiang, Changzhou, and Zhenjiang. Any one of these governors in the north would take up half the province. He wanted to pay taxes, so Gu Bingqian was appointed as the first governor of Jiangnan.
"It's hard to say, maybe the court feels that Jiangnan has stabilized, and Mr. Gu Ge is unwilling to stay in Nanjing. If there is no better choice, it will have to be put on your head?" Shen Yixiu laughed.
Seeing her mother smile, Tong Niang, who was sitting on her father's lap, became happy again, "Why is mom so happy?"
"Because your mother is going to give you a little brother soon." Feng Ziying teased her daughter.
"Ah, really?" Tong Niang jumped off Feng Ziying's lap, ran to her mother, stretched out her little hand to touch her mother's belly. She had seen other people pregnant, so she naturally knew that her little brother was pretending. The one who was in the belly asked curiously: "Mom, is the little brother in the belly? Why isn't it like Er Niang, Aunt Miao and Aunt Xing?"
Xia Fei's cheeks were made funny by Feng Ziying's joke, Shen Yixiu scolded: "My husband, if you are not pregnant, then my husband is not allowed to go to the other room, so as not to spread the joke in the future that I am here." There are lies and deceptions there, which have ruined my reputation..."
Feng Ziying also puffed up her chest, "Wan Jun, don't worry, I'll keep it with my husband and it will take effect within half a month."
Shen Yixiu was surprised, "How has my husband ever been so confident? Ah, Master Zhang has brought prescriptions and medicines to my husband again?"
Feng Ziying glared, "As a husband, I rely on my daily exercise to maintain my health. Why do I need any prescriptions?"
Shen Yixiu chuckled, his eyebrows full of spring, "That's good, I'll just wait for your husband to arrive tonight."
Sometimes such whispers can really harmonize the relationship between husband and wife.
Shen Yixiu was friendly to outsiders, but the servants in the mansion knew that this grandma didn't care about small things and ignored big things. She had dealt with people and things a few times, and her prestige was instantly established.
Outsiders would never imagine that she and Feng Ziying would be flirting and amusing like this when they were alone.
Feng Ziying was worried that she might become the governor of Jiangnan, so she suddenly accelerated the progress of preparing to build the Sunchon Army Officers School.
At his suggestion, Zheng Chongjian was transferred back from Shaanxi, resigned from the post of Tongzhi of Fengxiang Prefecture, and became a member of the Military Training Department of the Ministry of War, assisting Feng Ziying in planning the establishment of the Shuntian Army Officers School.
From the fifth grade to the fifth grade, it seems to be downgraded by one level. However, since this is a court official in Beijing, downgrading by one level is already considered very good. Some even downgraded by two levels directly. Moreover, Zheng Chongjian's time in Shaanxi was also very short. .
Zheng Chongjian was also very satisfied. After a trip to Shaanxi, he was promoted to the fifth rank of Military Yuan Wailang and caught up with Yang Sichang.
You must know that Yang Sichang is from a real high school background, and he has been immersed in the Hanlin Academy for so long, so he has a much higher status than himself.
However, it will be at least March before Zheng Chongjian comes back to officially take office. Returning from Shaanxi after the handover is completed will take at least more than a month, and Feng Ziying cannot wait for him.
He grabbed Sun Chuanting and Feng Ziying and went straight to Tianjin Wei.
The Army Officer School cannot be located in the capital city, but can only be located outside the capital city. This is Feng Ziying's consideration as well.
In the early days, the Army Officer School mainly focused on rotation training for the entire border army officers. These officers were all from border towns. If they were suddenly placed in a bustling city, it might not be a good thing, but it was also inappropriate to stay away from the city, so I chose A place with a moderate location, convenient transportation, and logistical support is inevitable.
Feng Ziying took a fancy to an old camp of the former Tianjin Guard in Dinggu outside the Tianjin Guard City.
It was not far from the intersection of the canal and the Wei River, and very close to the dock. It turned out to be a garrison camp of Tianjin Wei.
After part of the Tianjin Guards was disbanded, this place became vacant. It was also regarded as an asset of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and of course it was also under the control of the Ministry of War.
Although it is a bit older, it is more neat and tidy, and many things are ready-made. It is nothing more than renovation and repair, which is far better than re-selecting a new location for construction.
After visiting Dingzigu, Feng Ziying and Sun Chuanting were very satisfied.
It is less than a mile away from the dock. Although it cannot be compared with the liveliness of Zhangjiawan in Tongzhou, from here you can take the canal to Hejian to enter Shandong and go to Jiangnan, go north to Jingshi City, and go east to Dagukou via Tianjinwei. Going out to sea, and Tianjin Wei is becoming more and more prosperous, the popularity here is also getting higher and higher.
The Tianjin Guard commander who accompanied Feng Ziying for a day was sent away by Feng Ziying. Only Sun Chuanting was left to lead a group of officials from the Ministry of War to check around and determine the plan for renovation and addition of houses. Naturally, Feng Ziying went to Tianjin City. .
We have already reached Tianjin City, and it is unjustifiable not to go to Wang Xifeng. If Wang Xifeng knows that he has passed through the door without entering, there will be a big commotion.
"This, is this Zhezhe?" Looking at the bright and slender woman in front of him, Feng Ziying, who was sitting in the chair, took a long time to recognize her. She couldn't believe her eyes.
After all, we haven’t seen each other for a year, so why have we changed so much?
The last time I went to Jiangnan via Tianjin, I didn't see this Flower of Horqin. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and this girl has turned out to be so beautiful and handsome.
Moreover, after changing into a Han woman's clothes, she doesn't have any Mongolian flavor at all. She looks like a pure Han woman. Only her eyebrows still show a bit of her original stubbornness, but she is a bit more generous. .
"It seems you can't even recognize him. Has Zhezhe changed so much?" Busiyamala held a child in one hand with a smile on her face, "Who else could it be?"
Feng Ziying had almost forgotten that this woman was given to her by Zaisai as a marriage partner, but this woman was a woman from the Horqin tribe, and now the Inner Khalkha people had controlled the Horqin tribe and prevented the Horqin tribe from falling. Xiang Jianzhou Jurchen is possible.
"It's too big." Feng Ziying couldn't help but shake her head, "I really didn't recognize this outfit after changing my clothes. If you hadn't reminded me, I couldn't remember it at all."
"Has my body changed so much that even the husband can't recognize her? Does the husband like Zhezhe like this?"
The woman in front of him suddenly spoke. Although the words were mixed with some accents from the grasslands, her Chinese words were spoken in a straight and clear manner, which was completely different from Zhezhe who could only break up some Chinese words and sentences abruptly.
