Volume C Section 153 A Way of One's Own (End of this Volume)

Fang Youdu left, leaving with some excitement and anticipation.

Feng Ziying reminded him to keep quiet, and the point was to stop.

This is just an observation of Feng Ziying, which may not be correct, but the necessary form still has to go, and when the final decision is made, there must still be enough and sufficient reasons, no matter which side is finally chosen.

Feng Ziying wasn't sure if something had been determined in the imperial court, but with his observation and judgment, it would undoubtedly be a bit ridiculous if he really had to wait until his group had finished their investigation to decide who should be included in the first batch of open sea ports.

There is no doubt that whether it is Ningbo, Zhangzhou, or Quanzhou, there are some basic conditions that can support the opening of the sea, just like the conditions that I and Xu Zheng said, these cities have foundations, the only thing is that they have their own strengths, which aspect is more important, and what kind of choice to make in the end, you can list one, two, or three reasons, which is no problem at all.

The key also lies in the wrestling of all parties in the court until compromise.

Of course, if you want to say that these basic conditions are useless, it is definitely impossible, but when the word itself has a certain foundation, it is more of a game of influence and discourse power of all parties in the court.

But in any case, I have to give an explanation to the emperor and the cabinet, which is not only part of the game, but also needs to pave the way for the next step of fully opening the sea.

*******

"It's not a bear, it's all up to you here." Feng Ziying slapped Wang Yingxiong on the shoulder, which was meaningful.

"Don't worry, Ziying, I understand the severity." Wang Yingxiong knew that the other party was going to leave for the south tomorrow, and the matter must be particularly complicated, but he specially took half an hour to talk about the dispute over the southwest drift land with himself, which shows the importance he attaches to this matter.

The last time the other party paid so much attention was before the chaos in Ningxia Town, which fully illustrated the other party's keen sense of smell in military affairs.

Zheng Chongjian followed Feng Ziying to pacify the western frontier, and has not yet returned, but at the latest, he will come back next year at the latest, and most of them will go straight to the military department!

This is almost the treatment of the people who have not been able to enter the Hanlin Academy after the Kujishi has disbanded, and it is even a year earlier than those people!

This opportunity was given to Zheng Chongjian by Feng Ziying, but at the same time, it was also won by Zheng Chongjian himself, without the previous compilation of information obtained by Zheng Chongjian on the incumbent department and other parties in Gansu and Ningxia, how could Chai Ke agree to let him follow the expedition?

Now if there is such an opportunity for his turn, Wang Yingxiong will certainly not let it go.

"However, Ziying, isn't it been a year or two since the conflict in this land dispute, and you are so worried that there will be a big mess?" Wang Yingxiong endured this question for a long time, but he couldn't help but ask it.

"Fei Xiong, if you take a closer look at the situation of our Great Zhou Weizhen army in the southwest, you should know why I am worried." Feng Ziying stood in front of the window, looking out from the window of the pavilion of the Hanlin Academy.

"Now the imperial court's mind is on the nine sides, especially Liaodong, and the Ningxia and Gansu rebellions are also in a sense because of the lack of food and salaries, which can only give priority to the disaster caused by Liaodong, but compared with the deployment of troops in the southwest, Ningxia and Gansu are much better, and the soldiers of the southwest guards have basically been reduced to pure tuntian peasants, with no combat power, we can see, those Tusi who are close at hand will not be able to see it?"

Wang Yingxiong himself is a native of Chongqing Prefecture, close to Yungui and other Xuanwei Divisions, and he also knows more about the situation over there, because of this, he is also very curious about Feng Ziying, who is a northerner, is so sensitive to Ningxia and Gansu, how can he know so much about the southwest?

Just because of the last time a rogue official in Guizhou came to sue? That's an exaggeration.

What year did not have such a situation in the southwest?

Either the Tusi went to Beijing to complain about injustice, or the officials sued, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Officials, and the Criminal Department were all accustomed to it.

"Ziying, what you said makes sense, but just because of this?" Wang Yingxiong always felt that it was still a little incredible, there were many problems in the whole territory of Dazhou, why did Feng Ziying stare at the southwest?

"Let's put it this way, if you look at the debt income from Kaihai this time, how many taels of silver will be considered for military salaries in the Southwest Guard?" Feng Ziying said calmly: "Not one or two!" In addition to the needs of the Western Expedition and the Futu Shazhou Hami, it is to consider Jiliao, and then there are the naval fleets of Denglai and Fujian and Zhejiang, when it is the turn of the southwest, I am afraid that it will be okay to see if it will be possible in ten years, but how many of our local governments have been aware of this situation? ”

Wang Yingxiong was silent.

Although he is also a poor family in his hometown, because the Wang family is a big family, there are still some relatives and clansmen who are running outside, and they still have heard of the situation in such a local situation where the flow of land is intertwined.

The toasts are all familiar with people, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, while the rogue officials rely on working for a few years and leaving, and even want to find something wrong and find something so that they can use the bosses who came down to Jingcha as a basis for inviting merit.

Therefore, almost every year in Sichuan, Guizhou, these areas where the flow of soil is intertwined, there will be many fights and disputes, but fortunately, it does not cause much trouble.

"Everyone has nothing to fear, but I am afraid that once it causes a big disaster, it may become a spark and a prairie fire, and if the Weisho battalion army is not effective in bullet pressure, it may become a second Ningxia rebellion."

Seeing that Feng Ziying was so sure, Wang Yingxiong couldn't help but shudder.

Southwest Sichuan, Guizhou, is not as good as Ningxia and Gansu, it is really high mountains and dense forests, and the officers and soldiers from other places may not be able to adapt to it.

Especially in the mountainous areas, the terrain is complicated, and the supply is ten times more difficult than that of Ningxia in Gansu, and there is the disturbance of smoke and humidity, and you can imagine how troublesome it will be if it really turns into a rebellion.

"Ziying, is it really that dangerous? Where do you feel the most dangerous? ”

"Fei Xiong, do you think the little brother is the kind of alarmist? If there is no accident, it should be Banzhou! Feng Ziying patted Wang Yingxiong's shoulder again, "In any case, let's make some preparations first, be prepared, only benefit." ”

Wang Yingxiong is only three years older than him, and among several classmates who are more closely related, Sun Chuanting is the youngest, followed by Feng Ziying and Zheng Chongjian, Fu Zonglong, Xu Qixun, and then Fang Youdu, Wang Yingxiong, Wu Fu, and Song Shixiang, the difference is between one or two years old and two or three years old, like Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng, they are a few years older, and people like Lian Guoshi and Xu Ji are even bigger.

"Ziying, it's similar to what I guessed, then maybe the little brother can make another arrangement." Wang Yingxiong is also a person who is not willing to be lonely, his eyes are blazing, "Banzhou is very close to our hometown, but it is only three or four hundred miles. ”

"Oh, let's hear it." Feng Ziying's eyes lit up.

"Brother Fool has a few uncles and brothers who sell smuggled salt over there, and they are quite b,......old," Wang Yingxiong said while thinking: "They often go deep into the side to sell salt, and they also have dealings with some small toast heads over there, and they are also familiar with the situation over there,......

Ordinary people are already quite far away from three or four hundred miles, and many people have never been out of the county in their lives, but it is not a problem for the smugglers, as long as it is profitable, they dare to do it.

Feng Ziying was also interested, "Since this is the case, there are many things that can be done first." ”

"Yutu?" Wang Yingxiong nodded.

"The map is a must, I have seen the map of the Ministry of War, it is extremely rough, and it may not be prepared, if you can, you can let a few of your uncles and brothers sketch some of the most important geographical maps first, especially the mountain roads and trails other than those avenues, since it is selling smuggled salt, then you must be very familiar with this kind of path to ,......" Feng Ziying nodded, "In addition, it is necessary to choose a location, if something really happens, the officers and soldiers will have to requisition, where should the supply be set up, and where the water source is located and which ,...... that are not easy to be destroyed"

"And what's more important is people!" Seeing that Wang Yingxiong had an understanding, Feng Ziying reminded: "Once a war starts, a group of people who are familiar with the terrain and people over there are particularly important, and at this point, I think it is particularly important, and it may not be too late to find such a person at that time, and it may not be suitable for ,......."

Originally, it was just a general talk, but now it is getting deeper and deeper, Feng Ziying wants to prevent problems before they happen, and Wang Yingxiong hopes that if he can have such an opportunity, he can use it for himself, so he also hit it off.

For Feng Ziying, of course, he is happy to give such opportunities to classmates who are close to him, in his own words, these classmates have not really formed a complete "three views", especially world view and values, so give them opportunities, and at the same time continue to instill in them some of their own ideas and intentions in this kind of opportunity, in order to gain more sense of identity, this is what Feng Ziying wants to achieve.

Zheng Chongjian has begun to emerge in Western Xinjiang, Chai Ke admires it very much, maybe after he comes back, he can follow Chai Ke in the steady growth of the Ministry of War, if it goes well, two or three years later can be appointed to the head of the Ministry of War, it can be said that the future is great.

Wang Yingxiong can also follow suit, and it is very realistic.

In the previous life, one of the three major battles of Wanli in the late Ming Dynasty, the Banzhou Rebellion, had not yet broken out, but Feng Ziying had already sensed that the fire primer was sneering and burning, so she saw when it could be detonated.

If Wang Yingxiong seizes this opportunity, he may not be able to find a shortcut of his own.

Maybe a Banshu battle will make him stand out?

Everyone has their own path, but everyone should pursue and find a more suitable path for themselves, and work hard for it.

is like this for himself, and the people around him are like Liu Xianglian, Jia Lian, Jia Huan and even Jia Baoyu, and even more so are his classmates.
