Any news coming back from the front line would be passed back to Shenyang as soon as possible, and Feng Ziying would leave it to You Shilu, Liu Dongyang and others to deal with it.
After explaining the big principles and bottom line, it is actually more appropriate to leave the subsequent details to these people.
Don't underestimate the wisdom of these warriors. They have been dealing with nomadic tribes such as the Jurchens and Mongols for a long time. They know very well what these people think in their hearts. They can exert more subjective initiative in specific negotiations and may achieve better results.
He has roughly planned the affairs in Liaodong. The businessmen are very enthusiastic, but this cannot replace the role of the government. If Liaodong Province is really to be established, and the subsequent expansion to the north and east will be carried out, there will be quite a lot of The complicated work requires a large number of local officials, and officials who are basically qualified in all aspects are required.
Feng Ziying has already submitted the third draft of her suggestions for becoming a law student to Qi Yongtai.
In her spare time while sitting in the rear commanding the war effort, Feng Ziying, apart from planning for the future of Liaodong, was focused on this proposal to become a law.
Qi Yongtai communicated most with him in letters about this examination method.
Basically, we exchange letters once a month, and every idea and every detail is discussed in detail.
Feng Ziying felt that Qi Yongtai paid more attention to this test method than the Liaodong War in the later period. Perhaps because other cabinet ministers and the Ministry of War were specifically involved in the Liaodong War, he paid more attention to this method, which may have a negative impact on the entire imperial court and local officials. I am very interested in forming a relatively standard template for specific transaction operations.
As a chief minister, Qi Yongtai is not only concerned about military affairs. The Battle of Liaodong is certainly important, but if the examination method discussed with Feng Ziying can be established and promoted, it will be of great importance to the entire political system of the Zhou Dynasty. Metaphor.
According to Feng Ziying's suggestion, if you want to reduce resistance as much as possible, it is safest to choose one or two places for piloting. Once the pilot is successful and enough experience has been accumulated, try to promote it in a small area, and finally popularize it throughout the week. The whole territory is most suitable.
However, Feng Ziying is worried that if a system reform as grand as the Kao Cheng Law is to be implemented, it will not only require sufficient preparations in the early stage, but also require a certain period of deliberation. However, it has been two years since Qi Yongtai's term. Although There are no special requirements for the term of office of the chief minister of the cabinet, but Feng Ziying is worried about whether Qi Yongtai's body can support him for five or ten years.
Qi Yongtai is already over sixty. If he is in good health, he will be able to serve for five years. Feng Ziying does not dare to hope for a longer period.
In this case, Feng Ziying could not think more.
Without the support of Qi Yongtai, Feng Ziying knew that she would be quite embarrassed in Liaodong. As a governor of Jiliao, she might be able to be a personal king in Liaodong, but in the capital, her influence in the center of the court would be sharply reduced, no matter what. Whether it was Gu Bingqian or anyone else who would be the first assistant, it would be difficult for him to have the power he has now.
Although Ying Zhen, the cabinet minister, can be regarded as his tutor, he is a scholar from Huguang, and he will definitely be more inclined to Huguang disciples like He Fengsheng.
Although Huang Ruliang has a good relationship with him, he is far from being sincere.
Not to mention Li Sancai, Tang Binyin and others, they will definitely not support themselves.
Therefore, Feng Ziying knew very well that once Qi Yongtai became official or resigned from the position of chief minister for other reasons, he would have to join the cabinet. Even if he was the minister, it would be a failure.
At that point, he may be pressed into the position of minister for ten or even twenty years and may not be able to enter the cabinet. Because of his age and the loss of the support of a strong backer like Qi Yongtai, there are countless others. reasons to prevent him from joining the cabinet.
Because of this, Feng Ziying has always been concerned about the changes in the court situation and Qi Yongtai's situation. Now that the solution to Jianzhou Jurchen is imminent, even if someone in the court is unwilling to go back immediately, they will find reasons such as the situation in Liaodong is not yet stable and he still needs to be in charge to stop him. Himself, but how long can he stop himself?
Half a year, or a year?
He had to go back eventually, but he had to do it before Qi Yongtai took office. Feng Ziying also felt Qi Yongtai's pressure and some signs of poor health in his letter, which also made him a little anxious.
It's just that haste makes waste in some things. Master Qi must understand him and should have his own arrangements, but he is afraid that some accidents are beyond human control. Once something happens, he will be beyond his reach in Liaodong.
While he was deep in thought, he heard footsteps outside the door.
Feng Ziying temporarily moved the Governor's Palace to Shenyang.
Although Liaoyang is the location of the General Military Mansion of Liaodong Town, Feng Ziying knows that Shenyang will become the center of Liaodong sooner or later, so it is appropriate for the Governor's Mansion to be moved to Shenyang in advance.
Jiajuan hasn't come over yet, only Bushiyamala and Zhezhe are following him, without any taboos.
From the second half of last year to the beginning of this year, the families in the capital city came to Liaodong one after another, and there was no one missing, which made Feng Ziying laugh and cry.
Feng Ziying, who was not in good health like Daiyu, originally did not advocate coming to Liaodong, but Shen Yixiu and Baochai both came over. How could Daiyu sit still? The three mistresses all came, and the others Who can still stay in the capital city?
So they came one after another, causing the size of the backyard of the Governor's Mansion in Liaoyang City to expand again and again.
However, when the family papers came, Feng Ziying didn't have much thought on this beautiful girl. Before he could completely defeat the Jianzhou Jurchen, he was just as uneasy.
"Ziying, I heard that Nurhachi and the others were finally surrounded? Haven't they reached Algan Mountain yet?" Busiyamala came in, with a hint of joy in her tone and a look full of expectation: "When? Can Nurhachi be captured alive?"
Zhezhe is now inseparable from Busiyamala, and he has quickly grown to become Busiyamala's most reliable and capable assistant.
"Well, almost, but no matter where they are, the Jurchen clan in Jianzhou has come to an end. Now they are recruiting and surrendering. The talks have gone smoothly and a war has been avoided. I don't want to cause more killings. If it can be resolved peacefully , I am also happy to see the results."
Feng Ziying's words failed to reassure Busiyamala: "Ziying, Nurhaci, if you can't catch him, it's best to kill him, otherwise there will be disaster in the future..."
Feng Ziying glanced at the other party with a smile but not a smile, "Bushyamala, I'm afraid you will be disappointed..."
Bushiyamala was surprised and looked at Feng Ziying, "Did he escape?"
"No, but he is terminally ill, and he may not live for a few days." Feng Ziying got the news from You Shilu. Nurhaci had not gotten out of bed for many days, and had been unconscious many times during this period, so now Chu Ying and He He Lifei were inside the Jurchens Yingdong and others are calling the shots.
"Really? Could it be that Jianzhou is deliberately deceiving?" Bushiyamala seemed not to believe it.
Feng Ziying smiled, this was possible, but Feng Ziying didn't care.
As long as the more than 20,000 Jianzhou soldiers laid down their weapons, were dismissed by the Zhou army and then found ways to recruit them, who would still remember Jianzhou Jurchen or Donghai Jurchen in three to five years? As long as its organizational structure is completely interrupted, a single Jianzhou Jurchen, whether there are thirty or fifty people or three or five hundred people, is of little significance.
A Nurhachi who has lost his subordinates is like a toothless tiger. What can he do? What's more, Nurhaci is already in his fifties. Even if he deliberately conceals his illness, how long can he survive?
"Of course it can be confirmed. These two soldiers who built the state with more than 10,000 people have to come back honestly, accept supervision, and then be slowly dismissed..." Feng Ziying said casually: "Don't worry, seeing is believing."
While Feng Ziying and Busiyamala were discussing the authenticity of Nurhachi's life and death, Nurhaci finally woke up from his slumber in the Jianzhou tent hundreds of miles away.
The dim oil lamp flickered on and off, and a bit of cold wind occasionally came in through the cracks in the door, making the dead atmosphere in the tent a little more lively.
The fishy smell in his mouth became stronger and stronger, and he didn't know whether it was the blood foam coming out of his heart or throat. Nurhaci raised his head and looked at the tent, and after a long while he said leisurely: "Where is Abahai? Go and get Abahai and Aji." Ge, Dorgon, and Duduo called,..."
The attendant hesitated for a moment, but Nurhachi's thoughts were particularly sharp at this time, "What's wrong, where did Abahai go?"
He muttered for a long time, "Big Belle..."
Nurhaci immediately understood that he had accidentally mentioned to Abahai who he could rely on in a hundred years. He casually said that Daishan was trustworthy. Later, he discovered that Abahai and Daishan were much closer. In his heart, Although I wasn't happy, because the war was about to follow, I didn't have the time to ask about these things. But I didn't expect that Daishan was captured, he was still ill, and now Abahai was with Chu Ying...
A mouthful of blood surged up, and Nurhachi suppressed the emotions surging in his heart and breathed heavily.
Scenes of the past forty years kept passing through my mind: the ambition of the Thirteen Armors when they raised their troops, the groveling in front of Li Chengliang, the high spirits when they wiped out the Haixi Jurchens, and finally the complacency after instigating the rebellion against Li Yongfang. , and finally the ascension to the throne in Hetuala, the capture of Anlezhou and Shenyang, all of which suddenly became so clear as if it happened yesterday, making him burst into tears for a while.
"Where destiny belongs, where destiny belongs, I am where destiny belongs..."
Nurhachi took a strong breath and wanted to get off the bed and go out of the big tent to see all the most beautiful things. He only felt that his eyes went dark. He supported the pillow with one hand, but he could no longer sit up and his body couldn't. Slowly softening, "My destiny belongs to me, Aixinjueluo,..."
"Sweat profusely! Sweat profusely!..."
