"I just got news from North Korea that Japanese pirates are showing signs of harassing the line from Yuguan to Dagu. Denglai Town needs to take precautions in advance, so we use Dagu to land to take precautions before it happens." Feng Ziying made up reasons and came up with them at her fingertips, "Well, Red Hair Fan provided firearms to the Japanese pirates, so the threat from the Japanese pirates increased dramatically."
Wu Yaoqing and Jia Huan were both extremely surprised.
What happened that made the Governor-General not hesitate to fabricate a reason to order the Denglai army to garrison in Gyeonggi Province immediately? Is Bailian rebelling, or is there something going on in the capital?
However, it is rare for Japanese pirates to start harassing coastal areas in early spring. Not to mention that Japanese pirates have almost disappeared along the coast of Dazhou in the past ten years. Even when they harassed coastal areas more than ten years ago, they mostly occurred after May and June. November, mostly along the southeast coast.
This reason seems a bit far-fetched, but an expert can tell at a glance that there is something fishy about it.
Seeing that both of them looked uncertain, Feng Ziying also breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "The situation in Beijing has changed, involving many aspects. I am a little worried. Maybe my approach will bring some risks and risks." It’s troublesome, but I think it’s necessary.”
Wu Yaoqing finally came back to his senses and glanced at Jia Huan. Before he could speak, Feng Ziying said again: "Brother Huan, there is no need to hide anything. He has been with me for so long. There is no need to hide anything, but Dazhang and Wen Ruo I won’t say anything for now.”
Jia Huan was also excited. What did this mean? In Brother Feng's mind, he was more reliable than Zheng Chongjian and Yang Sichang, which made him even more excited and cherished.
"Okay, Sir, do you think there may be a change in the capital? Which direction is it? The capital camp, or the Long Jinwei?"
Wu Yaoqing's words made Jia Huan tremble with fear. There was a change in Jingying and Long Jinwei. What were they going to do, rebel? How can this be?
"It's hard to say. The situation of Lieutenant Long is unknown now, but Wen Yan's letter said that the relationship with the cabinet is obviously somewhat alienated, which is very strange." Feng Ziying rubbed her chin, "There is also Liu Wei from the Xuanfu. They are making many moves. There were military exercises on the front line in Yanqing, but the Mongols didn't move much during this period. Is this a show of force? Who can show it?"
Wu Yaoqing immediately realized something: "But it has something to do with the emperor?"
Jia Huan was shocked again. Is it related to the emperor? The emperor also wants to rebel? Or a coup?
"If it were not related to the Emperor, Liu Wei, Lu Song and his like would not have been able to do such a mindless move with the help of a few of them. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they are just some means of pressure from the Emperor. Recently, Prime Minister Qi's body It's not good. The controversy over the crown prince's position will definitely come up again." Feng Ziying pursed her lips and thought deeply, "This issue has been bothering the emperor and the cabinet. It depends on how they deal with it."
Having said that, Feng Ziying knew that the problem was not so false.
As instability within the cabinet gradually emerges, Qi Shi is in poor health and his ability to control will definitely be affected. Li Sancai, Tang Binyin and others will definitely not be willing to be eliminated and will definitely fight to the death, whether it is to create public opinion Whether it is colluding with the emperor, or forming an alliance among the scholars, I am afraid that all kinds of methods will be used.
The current imperial court has entered a period of gradual change after a short period of stability. All kinds of conflicts that were suppressed before will emerge. Everyone will fight for their own destiny, future and interests, especially Emperor Wan Tong. I am afraid that he will too. Taking advantage of various conflicts within the court, he began to cause trouble.
"Then how can we prepare for changes?" Wu Yaoqing was the most practical. Since something was going to happen, he had to make arrangements in advance to deal with it.
"Letting Cao Wenzhao and the others go to Dagu is a countermeasure, but it will have many sequelae, because we are not sure what will happen in Beijing now, but my intuition tells me that something will definitely happen, and I am a little worried about Qi Xiang Body." Feng Ziying thought for a moment, "Write a letter to Tu Wenxiu, He Huchen, and Yang Zhaoji to ask them to be more vigilant. Ma Jinbao is also the key. The Beijing camp is absolutely the key. Once chaos breaks out, Xiao Ruxun and Ma Chengxun are not reliable. Although the credibility of the military side is higher, there are too few soldiers and horses to support the overall situation, but we must also believe that Zhang Jin is a Dragon Guard, and remind him that he should know what to do."
They only know that something is going to happen, but it is difficult to judge where the wind will come from and where the danger will arise. It is the same everywhere, but everywhere they feel that the possibility is not enough for them to take risks. This is the most difficult thing.
You can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief the day before?
Moreover, this is far away in Liaodong, so the timeliness of any news being transmitted is greatly reduced, and it may even be over three years later, which is beyond our reach.
You have to be in Beijing to grasp all kinds of news most intuitively and efficiently and respond in time. Liaodong is still too far away.
What we have done now is not enough, but if the move is too big, it will inevitably cause unrest in the capital. Cao Wenzhao will still need more than ten or twenty days to cross the sea to Dagu, and there is still a buffer. If there are other actions, it will be difficult to explain.
I am no longer the Minister of War, and I have to avoid many things. Cao Wenzhao's Denglai Army is still on the territory of Liaodong, so I can manage it myself, and it can barely make sense.
Another person might not accept such an arrangement.
"Sir, if there is really a change in Beijing, this is not enough." Wu Yaoqing thought more, "We have to consider the worst case scenario. Although there are some northwest troops and He Yang in the Beijing camp, they control nearly half of it." However, in the past two years, Ma Chengxun has successively transferred some border troops from Datong and Xuanfu to rotate the Beijing camp. He had the same idea as when he was the minister of the Ministry of War. He received the support of Lord Xiong, but it may be difficult for Lord Xiong. How much influence the adults have over these newly arrived troops in the Beijing camp is almost in the hands of Ma Chengxun. In addition, Xiao Ruxun wants to hold on to the old troops of the old fifth military camp, so it is really hard to say in the Beijing camp now. In addition, Liu Qing The danger is greatest. As the number one frontier army, the Xuanfu Army has a lot of background. In addition, Liu Wei has spent a lot of time on training troops in the past two years. In addition, the old Xuanfu Army has also returned to Xuanfu Town. There’s nothing strange here,…”
Feng Ziying was shocked. If Niu Jizong and even Wang Ziteng and Ma Chengxun had some kind of tacit understanding, then the Xuanfu Army would really become the biggest variable, and the combat effectiveness of this variable would be too strong. There is no way to fight against it.
Cao Wenzhao's Denglai army only strengthened its ability to intervene, but reaching Dagu is the maximum limit. Going further east would sound like rebellion.
Unless something special happens, the Denglai Army cannot enter Gyeonggi Province. Now it is out of line, but there are still some reasons to explain it. If it goes deeper, it will be difficult to explain.
Moreover, in the past, only one Denglai army could pass by, and it would not make sense if there were more. However, they were still unable to deal with Liu Qing's Xuanfu army. Fortunately, there was still Jizhen army.
"Are You Shilu and the others going back by land?" Feng Ziying asked suddenly.
"Well, I guess with this weather, we'll have to walk for a month." Wu Yaoqing nodded.
"It's too late." Feng Ziying felt more and more the urgency of the problem, and that intuitive premonition made him horrified.
If something really happens, it usually happens at such an unexpected time. So many signs have appeared now. Although each sign seems to be explained by other reasons, or the possibility is considered unlikely, once they are added up, then It's a disaster.
"Brother Feng, in fact, if you feel that the situation in Beijing is unstable, you might as well go to Ji Town first. You are the governor of Ji Liao. Now the situation in Liaodong has stabilized. With Mr. Liu in charge, no one can stir up trouble. You It is also your duty to inspect Ji Town, and it makes perfect sense. As long as you don't enter the capital, and you inspect the defenses in places like Huairou, Shunyi, and Sanhe outside the capital, no one can say anything to you."
Jia Huan interjected.
Feng Ziying and Wu Yaoqing's eyes lit up at the same time. Why did they fall into this misunderstanding and not jump out? It was Jia Huan, an outsider, who suddenly broke through this layer of paper.
He is the governor of Jiliao, not the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town. Although everyone knows that his role as governor of Jiliao is to pacify Liaodong and solve the Jurchens in Jianzhou, which has nothing to do with Jizhen, but in terms of title, he is the governor of Jiliao. The town is also within the scope of one's responsibilities. Isn't it natural for me to go to Jizhen to inspect it?
As for when and where to go, there is no need to report to anyone.
Feng Ziying, who suddenly reacted, was also overjoyed. After calming down a little, she immediately decided: "We will make some preparations and leave the day after tomorrow, but we have to write to You Shigong first to let them be prepared. Huang Degong Both the Zuo Liangyu tribe and Zuo Liangyu are near the capital and can be assembled in advance."
This is the benefit of my original layout. Although You Shigong is considered a direct descendant of his father, his father has now retired to serve as an official. There is no problem in conquering the Jurchens in Jianzhou, but it will involve the game of political forces in Beijing and China. , Feng Ziying is not very confident about You Shigong, but Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu are two elites who she can control.
As soon as the sky dawned, the entire Governor's Mansion became busy. A series of messengers began to set off straight to Jizhen, Jingshi and Niuzhuang. They were not sure what would happen, but Feng Ziying had already sensed that this storm would not be easy.
He also wanted to rush to Ji Town immediately, and the closer to the capital city, the better. Here he would greet Wang Wenyan, his father, and King Zhongshun. He was just outside the capital city, and there was no need to run to Liaodong.
Liu Baichuan's Jiangbei Town is currently stationed in Xuzhou, which is a bit beyond his reach, but as a reserve team, he still has to say hello.
What Feng Ziying is most worried about now is that something has already happened, but she doesn't know it yet because of the distance in time and space. If it is too late to rush back at this time, then the sky will destroy her.
