When Feng Ziying received the report from the imperial residence in Xuzhou, she was relieved, but also somewhat regretful.
I was still excluded from the white lotus storm sweeping across the entire Northland, and I felt a little regretful that I couldn't participate.
Although the White Lotus Sect's uprising was much bigger than the storm caused by Xu Hongru of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, Feng Ziying still believed that it was not enough to overthrow the Zhou Dynasty.
The current situation in the Zhou Dynasty is much better than that in the late Ming Dynasty. It has survived the civil unrest in Shaanxi and the chaos in Jiangnan has been resolved. The financial constraints have been slightly alleviated. However, no matter how organized the rebellion caused by the party is, it will It cannot be as threatening as the Jianzhou Jurchen.
He also learned about the situation of the court meeting. Tang Binyin hoped that he could return to command and quell the chaos in Shandong. From the bottom of his heart, Feng Ziying was still willing to go. As long as he relied on the Northwest Army and the Jizhen Army in the north, he was still sure to solve the problem of Bailian in Shandong. .
It's a pity that he also knows that the possibility is unlikely. The court cannot change orders overnight, and he cannot be regarded as the only one who can deal with this crisis. Ye Fang and others will not fail to consider these impacts.
Feng Ziying could already faintly feel that Ye Fangli and others were afraid of her.
Maybe they don't reject themselves, but they don't want to accumulate such high prestige and popularity in the court so quickly.
This had a great impact on them. Do they have to be appointed ministers at the age of twenty-four or five, and do they have to join the cabinet before they are thirty? This subverts their understanding too much.
Therefore, it should be their unanimous opinion that they should stay in Nanjing for a few years. Even Qi Shi probably felt that he should go to Jiangnan and stay for a few years to suppress it.
For me, this arrangement is not unacceptable. As my father said, if you want to join the cabinet and become prime minister in the future, without a strong enough foundation and support in Jiangnan, even becoming the chief minister will not be stable.
So these few years should be the time for me to settle down and accumulate.
Feng Ziying could barely accept Xiong Tingbi's coming to take charge of the Shandong war, but Feng Ziying was less optimistic about Yuan Yingtai's departure to the Beizhi war.
Yuan Yingtai may be a good minister of the Ministry of Industry, but he may not be a suitable minister of the Ministry of War.
Although he has been in the Ministry of War for a long time, he has never had the experience of leading troops, and his character is also a bit stubborn. Is it okay to suddenly take charge of his own affairs like this?
But this has nothing to do with me. I only need to do my own thing in Jiangnan. I can even ignore the war situation in Xuzhou. The entire war situation in Shandong and Xuzhou has been taken over by Xiong Tingbi.
On the third day of August, Feng Ziying, who had stayed in Xuzhou for a month, finally took her family to the south by boat.
On the sixth day of August, Feng Ziying stayed in Yangzhou for two days. On the eighth day of August, he left the canal and entered the Yangtze River. On the tenth day of August, he arrived in Nanjing and officially began his term as governor of Jiangnan.
On this trip south, because all three of Shen, Xue and Lin were pregnant, and Baochai was already in labor when Feng Ziying went south, none of the three could follow him south.
While in Xuzhou, Feng Ziying received the news that Xue Baochai gave birth to a son successfully on July 20th.
This is the first legitimate son of the Feng family and the eldest son of the second wife.
Before Feng Ziying left Beijing, Bao Qin and Sister You became pregnant almost at the same time.
Feng Ziying was a little surprised. Why was she so powerful and invincible this year?
In addition to Baochai who was conceived last year, four other women were pregnant this year: Shen Yixiu, Daiyu, Baoqin and You Erjie. The combination of the wonderful recipes and techniques taught by Master Zhang was truly extraordinary.
Baoqin's pregnancy also brought double happiness to the second wife. Baochai was about to give birth and Baoqin was pregnant again. This good thing made the Feng family and Xue family overjoyed.
Aunt Xue even planned to live in the Feng family after Feng Ziying left Beijing to take good care of Baochai and Baoqin.
Sister You's pregnancy made her cry with joy.
She was the first to follow Feng Ziying in terms of life, and she received a lot of favors, but there was no movement. There were even vague rumors in the house that she was of Hu female descent and might not be able to get pregnant.
But now the rumors have finally been broken. Regardless of whether she is a man or a woman, she finally has someone to rely on.
This time, only Xichun, the head of the family, went south. Li Min and Li Qi stayed behind to take care of the pregnant Shen Yixiu, which made Xichun himself feel the heavy burden on his shoulders.
The second room originally wanted Shi Xiangyun to follow him south, but Feng Ziying proposed that he would bring a child with him so that he could have fun hanging around in his spare time, so Yingchun also took the child with him.
In view of the fact that Daiyu is pregnant and Miaoyu and Xiuyan's children are still young, Tanchun is the leader of the third family's trip south.
On the maid side, Yuan Yang, Jin Chuan'er, and Yu Chuan'er followed south. Yuan Yang and Jinchuan'er were responsible for the daily affairs of the back house, while Yu Chuan'er waited on them personally, while Ping'er was left to take charge in the capital.
About two or three miles behind Feng Ziying's boat, there was another boat.
Qin Keqing and several other women appeared and disappeared on the boat.
It's just that no one on Feng Ziying's side noticed it, only Feng Ziying who felt it had a headache.
…
Jiangnan is great, the scenery is familiar to me in the past. When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as the fire. When spring comes, the river is as green as blue. How can we not remember Jiangnan?
"Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it has been almost a year so fast. It feels like just yesterday."
Feng Ziying stood up and wanted to get up after wearing clothes.
Tan Chunnu, who was leaning next to him, said in a sweet voice: "Aren't you guys taking a break today? Why don't you, husband, sleep a little longer?"
Looking at this heroic face, it is already a bit softer and more delicate than when she was a bride last year. Her eyes extended down the snow-white neck, and two pink mounds squeezed out a deep ravine, covered by a thin quilt. , looming and confusing.
He couldn't help but reach down and rub it, which made Tanchun moan and groan, but he didn't object. Instead, he held his chest up and held his head high, letting Ai Lang play with him as he pleased.
This suddenly made Feng Ziying angry. With a flip of his tiger arm, he turned Tanchun over. Tanchun felt the man's high spirits and quickly begged for mercy, but it was already too late.
It is inevitable that there will be another ups and downs and chaos.
After the clouds and rain stopped, Feng Ziying lazily leaned on the bedside, "The life of the governor of Jiangnan is quite comfortable, but I always feel that it is easy for people to become decadent and indulging, not wanting to make progress, and just want to live like this forever. If I were forty years old , that’s fine, but I’m only twenty-five years old.”
"Is he still thinking about the war situation in the north?" Among the women from the south, Tanchun was the one who understood Feng Ziying the best.
In the eyes of anyone, the governor of Jiangnan is the most beautiful job. He has a respected status and holds great power. All the affairs of the fourteen prefectures and four states in South Zhili can be decided with one word, but for the husband, , these daily tasks are not too challenging, but they are not what the husband wants.
From arriving in Xuzhou in July last year and arriving in Jinling in August, ten months have passed in a blink of an eye. As the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, this southern Zhili city has been organized by my husband.
Even the war that spread throughout the North only affected Xuzhou and Fengyang, and had little impact on other places. This year was another good harvest year in the south of the Yangtze River. The Ministry of Household Affairs came to the governor's office to check. The land tax was not bad, and the business Taxes and tariffs skyrocketed, and the Ministry of Revenue was overjoyed. They bluntly said that the Ministry of Personnel's assessment of Jiangnan must be excellent.
But to the husband, this seems very boring and not challenging at all. As for the husband, the only way to vent his energy is by tossing around women.
Both Yingchun and Xichun are pregnant.
Yingchun's body is really fertile soil. Less than three months after arriving in Nanjing, she became pregnant again. What's more, even Yuanyang is pregnant.
Tanchun knew it. Although Yuanyang had been admitted to the room early, he didn't spend much time sleeping there.
The three bedrooms were all arranged that night, but it was only on the tenth night that the girls could take their turn, or else they just happened to be in the mood at noon.
But even so, Yuanyang and Jinchuaner have to share it equally.
Under such circumstances, Yuanyang was able to get pregnant before she and Xiangyun did. I have to say that God was unfair.
Fortunately, these people got pregnant one after another, but they also gave themselves and Xiangyun more opportunities. For example, Xichun from the eldest house basically quit when she got pregnant. The husband at night was basically either from his side or Xiangyun's side. , there are many more opportunities.
Now Tanchun is hoping to conceive and preferably give birth to a boy and a girl before returning to Beijing. If the husband gives birth to a daughter, he can seize the time to get pregnant again. After all, according to the three-year term, my husband still has one or two years to stay here. side.
"Well, can you stop thinking about it?" Feng Ziying held the plump pair and kneaded them for a while, then reluctantly let go, "It's time to get up. There is news from Xuzhou today, and I want to hear it too... "
Things have changed dramatically in the past ten months, but Feng Ziying can only stand aside and watch as a bystander.
Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong's Denglai army showed their prowess in Feicheng, Jinan and Dongping, Yanzhou. They defeated the enemy in one battle and killed more than 20,000 Bailian rebels. This happened in November last year.
Later, He Renlong became even more crazy. He led his army in a furious advance and drove the White Lotus rebel army to Yuncheng. On the second day of December, He Renlong defeated the White Lotus rebel army in one fell swoop and captured alive one of the three bandit leaders of the Shandong White Lotus rebel army in Puzhou Shuibao Village. Gao Yingchen.
Xu Hongru, the leader of Shandong Bailian, led the main force of Bailian to retreat to Jining in embarrassment to stabilize the position. However, Liu Baichuan on the southern front was unstoppable all the way from Xuzhou and defeated Xu Hongru's troops in Jining, forcing Xu Hongru to flee to Juye. Later, Xu Hongru After meeting with the remnants of Gao Yingchen's troops, he fled to Puzhou, and finally fled into the Daming Prefecture. He reunited with the Beizhi Bailian rebel army and avoided the fate of being completely annihilated.
Although the situation in Shandong is excellent, the situation in Beizhili is full of twists and turns, with joy first and then pain. The situation is chaotic and unclear, and there are even signs of deterioration.
Yuan Yingtai's ignorance of soldiers was most vividly demonstrated in the Battle of Beizhili.
