Feng Ziying sighed, "The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, and it is natural for Wen Weak to choose to go to the Ministry of War, at present, the imperial court is struggling, internal and external troubles are deep, and what the Ministry of War needs to face is the most tricky priority, and Wen Weak going to the Ministry of War can also make me and others breathe a sigh of relief." ”

If someone else said such a thing, Yang Sichang could accept it calmly, but he didn't dare to be so arrogant in the face of Feng Ziying.

"Ziying, you should go to the Ministry of War, why don't you and I go to the Ministry of War and work together to do a career?"

The five people here are all second-generation officials, Hou Suihou Ke's father is the Taifu Siqing, and Shen Zizheng's father is the prefect of Dongchang Mansion, so they all have some confidence in their hearts about daring to boast about their whereabouts in advance, and they don't care.

"Wherever you go, it's for the imperial court, it's enough for the military department to have a weak text, and Dazhang and Feixiong estimate that at least one person will stay in the military department, right? Can't all of our people in this section drill into the military department, right? Feng Ziying smiled: "As for where I go, I want to go down to the place to do something." ”

"What? Going somewhere? Feng Ziying's words made the four people, including Yang Sichang and Shen Zizheng and others, incredulous.

Yang Sichang was thinking that if Feng Ziying was unwilling to go to the Ministry of War, there must be a better place to go, such as the Ministry of Officials or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, after all, there were Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia on top, but he didn't expect Feng Ziying to actually want to go to the place.

This is simply the worst choice, but whoever has the opportunity to stay in Jingshi City, who would want to go to the place, and the place is basically the choice of the third-class jinshi, and the second-class jinshi almost did not choose the next place, not to mention that Feng Ziying also entered the Hanlin Academy in advance and got the status of cultivation, how could he choose the next place?

This is not as good as the later generations who go to the local place for temporary training, and they can go back in two or three years and be promoted to a level, and then they will be the real magistrates, and they will be strictly in accordance with the local assessment, and their seniority and achievements will become an important basis.

Moreover, the performance of local officials is also greatly influenced by their superiors, and they are far from being as easy to pay attention to as important ministers in the court.

"Ziying, why do you want to go to this place?" Hou Sui took the lead in asking, although he didn't want to specialize in a line of work like Yang Sichang, but he was more sensitive to the changes in the current situation between the DPRK and China, "Is it related to the strategy of opening the sea you proposed, I heard my father say that the people of the north have some opinions on the strategy of opening the sea, and think that the north has suffered a big loss,......

"Well, what Brother Ruogu said has some factors in this regard, but it is not the main thing, the strategic benefits of opening the sea are immediate, the imperial court has benefited, and the south has also gained more opportunities, and the income from the north is indeed not something that can be seen in a short time, it may take three or five years to see it, but you can't sell me because of this imperial court, right? It's okay to leave me in Hanlin Courtyard, or send me to places like the Ministry of Rites and the Criminal Department to be cold, right? ”

Feng Ziying smiled, very frank.

"The main thing is that I feel that I will go down to exercise and familiarize myself with the actual situation of the prefectures and counties, and take a look at what problems there are in these prefectures and counties in Dazhou at present, why there are so many natural and man-made disasters every year, whether it is the lack of moral and political repair, or the lack of public security, or the poor customs of the people, and how to solve it,......"

These words were a bit heavy, and even Yang Sichang and the Hou brothers felt a little awe-inspired.

If Feng Ziying really thinks like this, it can be said that the other party is worthy of the title of the leader of the young scholars in the Northland.

This is really the worry of the world.

However, Shen Zizheng didn't care about it, and when he heard that Feng Ziying really wanted to go to the place, he couldn't help but say: "Ziying, if you go to the place, what will my sister do?" ”

Several people didn't expect that there was a brother-in-law hidden here, Feng Ziying thought for a while, "Your sister naturally wants to follow me, and I also told your sister." ”

Shen Zizheng was depressed.

This Feng Ziying doesn't know what he's thinking, she just got married, and she doesn't cherish the opportunity to be in the capital city, but she wants to think about the next place, do you really think that this parent official is so easy to be? And listening to his tone, he still has to go down to the prefecture level, which is really going deep into the people.

"Ziying, this is a big matter, you still need to think about it more, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a year and a half, the affairs of the lower prefectures and counties are not like the court, complicated and trivial, and there are many slippery people in the local officials, if you want to tame these people, it is also quite a tricky thing, but if you don't have these people as helpers, it will be difficult to move an inch in the local area."

Yang Sichang's words were sincere, and he was also reminding Feng Ziying not to act impulsively.

"Thank you for your concern, the little brother will think about it clearly." Feng Ziying didn't want to dwell on this issue more, "It's Wen Liang who went to the Ministry of War, I'm afraid I have to pay more attention to the dispute over the flowing soil in the southwest, I think Banzhou is just a fire point, maybe Ershuixi and Yongning also have such and such troubles, if the southwest is like a spark and burns out, then I'm afraid it will endanger the safety of the entire Great Zhou, maybe the Jurchens or Mongolians and some other people with ill intentions are waiting for this opportunity." ”

Feng Ziying's words made everyone a little creepy, if the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Mongols felt that this was an opportunity and rose up to attack the Great Zhou, then it was really that the Great Zhou was in danger.

Yang Sichang frowned, "Ziying, your prophecy is really displeasing to people's hearts, is there any basis?" ”

"On what basis? These toasts in the southwest are really in chaos, can they be calmed down in a year and a half? Press the gourd to float the scoop, we can all think, do you think Nurhachi and the Mongols will know nothing about this? Don't say that the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Mongols have no eyeliner in our Jingshi City, some eyeliner later became insiders, and even went deep into the homes of many of our princes and ministers. But I'm sure there are more that haven't been found. ”

Feng Ziying's cold words made Yang Sichang's heart even more anxious, and he couldn't help but protest: "Even if there is a problem in the southwest, it is impossible to transfer the troops of the Nine Sides, and even if the Jurchens and Mongols want to fight ghosts, they will not have a chance." ”

"Hmph, these are just some of the things we've learned, and a lot of things happen when we don't know it, so you don't have to prepare for it." Feng Ziying shook her head, "Wen is weak, you should understand, understand, we can calm down and find a countermeasure." ”

Yang Sichang came to the house to pay New Year's greetings, but he left with a heavy look.

He thought that he had discovered and controlled the changes in Banzhou in advance, but he didn't expect Feng Ziying to say that Shuixi and Yongning were abnormal, which made him suddenly unable to sit still.

In addition, Feng Ziying also "alarmist" said that the Jianzhou Jurchens had the same possibility of taking advantage of the fire to rob like the Mongols, which made him even more worried.

He, a member of the military department, entered the state quickly enough, and he had already gotten into it before the imperial court even began to study it.

The arrival of Yang Sichang also ruined Feng Ziying's good mood.

He knew that sooner or later there would be chaos in the southwest, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, if the intelligence clues that Yang Sichang got were correct, the Banzhou rebellion was probably imminent, and it could even be said that it could break out at any time, and he didn't know how Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke had arranged.

Sometimes this kind of thing does not depend on the determination and attitude of both parties, but on some subtle factors that no one can predict, especially some sudden small events, like a pile of dry grass that has become extremely dry, and an unintentional spark can make it ignite a raging fire.

Just like when I predicted the rebellion in Ningxia, it could be tomorrow, it could be next year, or even three years from now, everything is possible.

And as the side of the imperial court, it is even difficult to make more moves, so as not to stimulate the other party to suddenly erupt, after all, for the imperial court, it is best to avoid it, and it is best to delay it if it cannot be avoided, and it is more completely prepared.

This bad mood lasted until the arrival of a large number of classmates such as Lian Guoshi, Fan Jingwen, and He Fengsheng, which was slightly relieved.

By this time, every student was already thinking about the arrangements at the end of the political observation period in a few months, and this gathering at Feng Ziying's house would undoubtedly become a discussion conference.

The small study room naturally can't accommodate the arrival of so many students, but fortunately, a small garden has already been built in the back of the Dongfu, and there are also some buildings in the garden, such as a warm pavilion with a small area, which is connected by a verandah next to the garden.

At the beginning of the day after the snow, while looking at the snow scene in the garden, it can be said that it is a rare enjoyment to go back to the warm pavilion for a few drinks when your feet are frozen.

"Ziying, your small garden is quite chic, the area is a little smaller, but it has a different flavor, the warm pavilion pavilion, the cloister fishing platform, the grass and trees are verdant, the stone path is covered with ground, and there is a small pond specially dug, it is a little bit of the taste of picking chrysanthemums in the southeast, why, the affairs of opening the sea are still in the ascendant, you plan to live in seclusion?" He Fengsheng teased Feng Ziying, "An Shi doesn't come out, if the common people are born, what do you have to say?" ”

"Ke Xuan, you can't see me idle for a while? You've only been to Jiangnan once, but I've made two trips back and forth plus a trip to the western frontier! ”

Feng Ziying glared at He Fengsheng.

This guy has become more and more active since he came back from Jiangnan, maybe it is the special identity of the Huguang scholars that makes them get close to the Jiangnan scholars, and they will not be disgusted by the Beidi scholars, Guan Yingzhen probably also admires his Huguang hometown student, looking at this posture, this guy is really likely to be left in the middle school to go to the middle school.

"Idle? Ziying, is it time to be free? Fan Jingwen scolded Feng Ziying angrily, "Kaihai is very good to Jiangnan, but what about Beidi? Denglai said it vigorously, the prince Teng asked for a million taels of silver from the imperial court, but the construction of the shipyard is slow, and how to build the sailor fleet is also out of order, I think this guy is another Li Chengliang! ”

With the Jianzhou Jurchen's offensive against the Ula Department was contained, the relationship between the Chahar people and the Great Zhou seemed to have improved, and the Shuerhaqi father and son were successfully rescued and fled to the black Tuomu under the protection of Kaiyuan Wei raised the banner of the right guard of Jianzhou, and after Feng Tang became the governor of Jiliao and the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, it seems that the situation in Liaodong has been greatly improved all of a sudden, which makes the momentum of the DPRK's attack on Li Chengliang more and more fierce.

Even Li Chengliang, who had retired from illness, felt uneasy and frequently apologized.

Now that he is apologizing, he has taken the initiative to admit his mistake, but if he waits until the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are crazy about the bullet seal, it will be difficult to say.

However, Feng Ziying knew from her father's letter that the Liaodong generals, including her father, did not have such a one-sided accusation and scolding as the DPRK and China.

To be precise, the opinion of Li Chengliang is still half and half.

It did well in the early stage, and many mistakes were indeed made in the later stage, including some serious mistakes, but these mistakes also had a lot to do with the support of the imperial court.

For example, allowing Nurhachi to unify the Jianzhou Jurchens was Li Chengliang's mistake, but when the Jianzhou Jurchens annexed the Haixi Jurchen Huifa Department and the Hada Department, the imperial court did not give enough support to Liaodong, and at that time, Li Chengliang had just taken office in Liaodong for the second time after being idle for a long time, and had not yet fully mastered Liaodong Town, which was also a big reason.

Of course, Li Chengliang made a big mistake on the issue of discarding the six forts of Kuandian, but it also had a lot to do with the short-sightedness and weakness of Xiao Daheng, who was the secretary of the military department at the time, and he could not completely blame Li Chengliang alone.

If Xiao Daheng is to be held responsible, I am afraid that Emperor Yuanxi, who has become the Emperor Taishang, and even several members of the cabinet at that time will be very responsible.

"Mengzhang, what you said is too absolute, Denglai was originally created from scratch, how can it be compared with the military governments of Jiliao or Xuanfu? Even the three sides are much stronger than Denglai, the princes are from military backgrounds, and the civil affairs may be weaker, but they will not slack off in the construction of the life-and-death line between Denglai and southern Liaoning. ”

Feng Ziying defended Wang Ziteng a few words, Fan Jingwen's point of view was too extreme, of course, this also represented that the people of Beidi were more and more dissatisfied with the strategy of opening the sea.

Feng Ziying has now become more and more aware that she has pretended to be a big force, and it has indeed brought immediate benefits to the imperial court, making the emperor, the cabinet and even the six ministries very satisfied with her, and her reputation is also famous.

But as the aura slowly faded, some hidden problems began to be exposed.

You, a guy who is known as the young leader of the Northland scholars, actually came up with a strategy that made Jiangnan benefit greatly, as for the benefits of the imperial court, it was selectively ignored by the Northland scholars, that is not the category they care about, they only saw the elation of the Jiangnan gentry and merchants, but the Northland gentry did nothing.

Wang Xiangchun and others like them have already publicly criticized themselves, and there are also stalwarts in the north, such as Zhang Ixu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Feng Shengming, the Shandong Qing official of the Criminal Department, who have also criticized Feng Ziying's strategy of opening up the sea, believing that it has failed to bring benefits to the north.
