"King Beijing wants to celebrate his father's feast?" Feng Tang just put down the teacup he picked up again, and said suspiciously: "What did he say?" ”

"Well, the son is also a little strange, he said that there are still Niu Gong and Wang Gong, and it is estimated that there will be some other people, but they can't get rid of the four kings, eight princes and twelve marquis." Feng Ziying groaned, "My son was not easy to shirk at that time, but I felt that there was something here. ”

Feng Tang waved his hand, "The Feng family is still in the same vein as Wuxun, if it is too distant, it will fall into the traces, Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong are getting closer and closer, I went to Liaodong this time, but there is no explanation for the matter of Jizhen, I asked Chai Ke, he was vague, it seemed that the emperor did not express his position, and this matter was put on hold." ”

"Isn't there something wrong with Chen Jingxuan?" Feng Ziying couldn't guess what was here, Chen Jingxuan was promoted by Emperor Yonglong, and it seems reasonable to be promoted to the governor of the three sides now, but why is the key position of the general soldier of Jizhen delayed?

"It's hard to say, it shouldn't be right, but who can say clearly, Chen Jingxuan has been on the road all the time, but he stayed in Jizhen earlier, so who can pack the ticket in the previous situation?" Feng Tang shook his head.

"What did Daddy think?"

"Since the imperial court is uncertain, but Jizhen can't be left without an owner, then I will tell the military department here, I will act first, and let You Shiwei serve as the deputy chief soldier and be responsible for handling daily affairs." Feng Tang was very decisive, "You Shilu followed You Shiwei, first show me this Ji Town for me, Cao Wenzhao and You Shigong will go to Liaodong with me, and I plan to let He Renlong be responsible for the formation of the Fire Gun Battalion." ”

Regarding his father's personnel arrangements, Feng Ziying naturally couldn't interject, but he knew that the three You brothers had already become their father's henchmen, and Cao Wenzhao was his father's henchmen at the same time.

As for He Renlong, it is equivalent to Dad's personal guard, but He Renlong is too young to be able to achieve it overnight, but now the newly formed Fire Gun Battalion is just right.

"Isn't Dad going to use Liaodong generals?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but say.

He also knows that in this case, it is obviously impossible to show what meritocracy and meritocracy are, and his father will only go, so he can only use his most intimate person first, and it is impossible to use an unfamiliar outsider instead.

It's just that Liaodong Town is a military town with the strongest troops in the entire Nine Sides, with a large number of people under its command, and it is facing a direct confrontation with the Jianzhou Jurchens, and now the Jianzhou Jurchens are still attacking the Haixi Jurchen Ula Department, so they can't afford to delay, relying on Cao Wenzhao and You Shilu alone will definitely not be able to suppress it, and they have to pull out some of the people who belong to the father himself from within Liaodong Town.

"Take your time." Feng Tang stroked his beard, "The Zhao Shujiao you mentioned, I have understood, but he is a character who can fight habitually, but Li Chengliang doesn't like him very much, so he has been pressing him, and there is also a juniper, which is said to be able to fight, but I heard that this guy is a little unruly, and you like to rush into ,......."

Feng Tang has already started to make a lot of preparations, and it seems that he is also going to do a great job in Liaodong.

"Dad, do you remember when I went to Linqing a few years ago and encountered a civil uprising?"

Feng Tang was stunned for a moment, "Why don't you remember, didn't your mother almost turn her face with me for this matter, what's wrong?" ”

"At that time, I swam out of the city to find Li Sancai, Qiao Shi, and Chen Jingxuan for help, and I had a partner, do you remember?" Feng Ziying nodded.

"Remember, well, it seems to be the surname Zuo, the same age as you, and the military background, right?" Feng Tang had some impressions, "What's wrong?" ”

"He joined the army three years ago, and the year before last he was transferred with the guards to supplement Liaodong Town, in Liaodong, this guy is a bold master, I received a letter from him at the beginning of the year, he killed three horses in a row in the confrontation with the Tatars in Koubian last year, and has been promoted to the general banner."

Feng Ziying couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth when she talked about Zuo Liangyu, this guy really deserves to be a historical figure, he was only sixteen years old and could already rush into battle and kill three Mongolian cavalrymen, which is not something ordinary people can do.

"Oh? So young to be the flag? Feng Tang was also taken aback, it is not easy to get ahead in the Liaodong Army, if you don't have a little connection, then you can only rely on military merits if you want to get ahead, and military merits are also the most speechless for everyone.

"Well, this guy is alert and resolute, bold and careful, he is a good material to be a soldier, I forced him to study for two years when I left Linqing, it is said that this guy is also unwilling, probably just recognize hundreds of big characters."

Feng Ziying also sighed, but in these years, there are many people who are generals and general soldiers who can't read words, Zuo Liangyu can recognize hundreds of words and read military books, which is already quite good.

"Where is he?" Feng Tang came to be interested.

"Zhenyuan Fort."

"Oh, Zhenyuan Fort, I know, it's right on the west road Guangningwei." Feng Tang was not too familiar with Jiliao, but since he knew that it was imperative for him to go to Liaodong, he began to be familiar with the terrain and terrain on Jiliao's side.

"Dad is going to Liaodong, I can also send him a letter, if Dad needs to know the bottom of the situation, he is a good helper."

Feng Ziying's words made Feng Tang very happy, and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, they are all from Linqing, whether they are close or not, they are from their hometown." ”

"The Guangning Road is directly facing the Mongols and Yehebu, it is the most critical place, if Dad is in Guangning, he must also have a personal army, if Brother He wants to form a fire battalion, then Liangyu can actually come to Dad's personal army." Feng Ziying suggested.

Glancing at his son, Feng Tang laughed, "Ziying, it seems that you are very optimistic about your former partner, well, I will consider it, but the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy Lang is still too young, I have to investigate, my pro-soldier team is not something that anyone can do." ”

He Renlong first grew up from Feng Tang's pro-soldier team, and he has advanced by leaps and bounds in just two years, of course, this has a lot to do with He Renlong's background as a martial artist.

"How does Daddy plan to deal with Nurhachi's attack on the Urabe?" Feng Ziying looked at her father, "Ye Hebu has left people in Jingshi City, and the Buyanguto people have sent a letter to say that Nurhachi sent Chu Ying and Dai Shan to storm the Ula Department, and Bu Zhantai is already a little unable to hold on. ”

Feng Tang was silent.

Feng Ziying also knew that she had no right to decide this kind of thing, and in the end, she had to know the specific details after her father went to Liaodong to make a decision, and her father did not fully grasp the army in Liaodong Town now, and the Li army might not be able to ban it, and other non-Li troops also needed to be screened and collected, which would take time.

"Ziying, Dad understands your thoughts, that's right, the Ula Department is very important, if you don't save the Ula Ministry, I'm afraid it will continue to chill Ye Hebu's heart, and it will also open the door for the Jianzhou Jurchens to conquer the East China Sea Jurchen, but Dad can't answer this question now, if I were Li Chengliang, I would naturally be able to do it with ease, but now You Shiwei and You Shigong still need to stabilize Jizhen, Cao Wenzhao and You Shilu have no more than 10,000 soldiers, and the terrain is not familiar, how to fight with the Jianzhou Jurchen?

Feng Tang also thought for a long time before answering this question.

"Ziying, what do you say we need to pay if we let Ye Hebu send troops to help?" Feng Tang suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Silver, grain, or weapons?" ”

"Buyangu refused to send troops, he was worried that he would attract revenge from the Jianzhou Jurchen and set himself on fire." Feng Ziying shook her head, "I have talked to him before, but they are too afraid of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and they are also worried that the Korqin people will stab them in the back. ”

"Korqin?" Feng Tang groaned, "Ziying, what do you think if you let the Chahar people trouble the Korqin people?" Can you let the Yehebu have no worries, and then let them reinforce the Urabu? ”

Feng Tang's point of view is also very simple, he just went to Liaodong, it is impossible to raise sword soldiers immediately, he can only rely on the influence and material advantages of the Great Zhou in this surrounding area to mobilize these surrounding forces, as long as the goal can be achieved, it is worth spending some silver and food on these materials.

"Can Dad say that Lin Dan Batur?" Feng Ziying's eyes lit up, he knew that his father had a lot of influence in the grasslands.

"The Chahar people are also divided inside, but after all, they are the Mongol co-masters, the Horqin people and the Jianzhou Jurchens are eyebrows, the Chahar people must be uncomfortable, I plan to go to Liaodong, and give some of the eliminated firearms to Lin Danbatur as a gift to my office, and I also ask him to control the Horqin Department and not let the Mongols become the slaves of the Jianzhou Jurchens,......"

Feng Tang already has some preliminary plans, of course, it will definitely not be so simple, there will be a lot of transactions here.

"What are Daddy's plans over there?" Feng Ziying asked again: "If this chess piece is used well, it is also very useful, the Jurchen system, which is maintained by blood relations, certainly has its advantages, but its disadvantages are more obvious, Nurhachi does not dare to easily solve his brother who has great achievements, and he still has a large number of generals and soldiers who can fight under his brother, this is our opportunity." ”

"I've asked the Ministry of War to do our best to collect the situation, by the way, I've also found someone to arrange for the Shanshan merchant to see if it can play a role." Feng Tang's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Shuerhaqi still has several sons and subordinates, it is said that Nurhachi has not yet made up his mind to solve Shulhaqi, maybe it is a rat trap, unwilling to cause civil strife within Jianzhou, I plan to find a way to take Shuerhaqi out as soon as I go, even if Shuerhaqi does not have a single soldier in his hands, its role cannot be underestimated." ”

"Dad, my son thinks that although the power of the Jianzhou Jurchen is very inflated, but this is all based on the strong control of the slave chief Nurhachi, in fact, there are also contradictions within the Jianzhou Jurchens, like Shuerhaqi father and son, like Nurhachi's eldest son Chu Ying and second son Dai Shan and the fifth son Mang Gurtai, there are great contradictions between them, even if we can't use it now, but as long as we can always grasp the contradictions between them, one day, when the losers find that they can only rely on outsiders to avoid being killed by the victors, We will be the best supporters and allies of these losers. ”

Feng Ziying's bold suggestion made Feng Tang quite agree.

The Jianzhou Jurchens were the same as the Mongol tribes, and their own imperfect inheritance system and power-sharing mechanism made it inevitable that when they faced the division of power and inheritance, they would inevitably lead to the intensification of internal contradictions, and even the Great Zhou could guide this contradiction to intensify for their own use.

It's not that these losers don't have strength, it's that their strength is not as good as the winners, but when they get the support of the Great Zhou, they have the capital to compete with the winners, and similarly, these losers can only rely on the Great Zhou to compete with the opponents who will kill them.

"Ziying, it seems that you have worked harder than your father in this area." Feng Tang sighed with emotion, "The father you said has been recorded, the war against the Jianzhou Jurchens is not over in ten or eight years, maybe this will continue until they are completely resolved, the court must be mentally prepared, and I don't know if your father can survive until that day." ”

"Dad, don't worry, you're still strong." Feng Ziying hurriedly cheered for her father.

"Well, remember, since you are in the Beijing Division, you have to keep an eye on the military department and the household department for your father, fighting a war is fighting logistics materials, without food, no matter how many soldiers, no matter how strong the soldiers, they are all soft-footed shrimp." Feng Tang patted his son on the shoulder fiercely, "Dad has also figured it out, if you don't go, you have to make a name for yourself, as long as you hurry up and solve the Feng family's incense for your father, Dad's life is worth it even if he is lost in Liaodong." ”
