Volume C Section 79 Return to Beijing

Zheng Chongjian hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Ziying, if you can, you still have to persuade Ling Zun to have a good relationship with Lord Chai and Lord Yang, if Ling Zun does not take over as the governor of the three sides, if it is after taking over, it will be difficult for the governor of the three sides to sit." ”

"Oh?" Feng Ziying's heart froze slightly, "Dazhang, why do you say this?" ”

"In the past few months, I have also made a more detailed understanding of the situation of the entire Shaanxi Xingdu Division and the four towns according to the intention of Lord Chai, many of which involve local government guards, such as Yulin Town, perhaps Lingzun also knows that because of the continuous floods and droughts and locusts in the local area for many years, the number of land arrears is amazing, and the local officials are also greedy for ink, Pingliangfu, Suidezhou, Jiazhou, and Yaozhou are all in a very bad situation, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that it will lead to civil unrest,......"

Feng Ziying's heart was cold, Zheng Chongjian was quite risky to reveal the true situation to himself.

Although his father is the chief soldier of Yulin Town, after all, he is only in charge of military affairs in the border areas, and he may also know some about the local people's conditions, but with the nature of the warriors, he may not care, and this not only stops at Yulin, but also includes Yan'an, Pingliang, and Qingyang, which are the biggest victims when the climate of Xiaoice River comes at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and once there is any spark, it may ignite.

But if you calculate the time, there should still be some years of maturity, and there shouldn't be chaos so early, but now history has changed, just like the Ningxia Rebellion was delayed for more than ten years before breaking out, and it also affected the entire Gansu town, which is much larger than the Ningxia Rebellion in the previous life, who can say clearly, will it bring about changes in the entire history?

What if it suddenly turned into a weekend storm of peasant uprisings?

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying couldn't help but feel a little cold sweat.

"Also, Lord Chai is probably also very dissatisfied with many military affairs in the three sides and four towns, especially the redundant problem, there is no big problem in Yulin Town, Ling Zun is quite disciplined, the combat effectiveness of the army is not bad, and Lord Chai is also more satisfied, but like the other three towns, Ningxia Town is not to mention for the time being, Guyuan and Gansu towns are very dissatisfied, maybe Lord Chai intends to eliminate ......"

Cut-off? Feng Ziying shuddered again, wasn't the storm at the end of the Ming Dynasty caused by the elimination of soldiers?

"Da Zhang, what do you mean......" Feng Ziying hesitated.

"Ziying, Ling Zun is also an old soldier, in the future, the three sides and four towns will rely on the imperial court a lot, especially the military salaries, and have a good relationship with Lord Chai, and in the future, the military department will not be too biased in the issue of food and salary Ji Liao and Xuanda, I am very clear in the military department, whether it is Liaodong or Xuanda, although the food and salary are also very tight, and they will be in arrears, but at most it will be made up in a year and a half, but on the side of the three sides, I am afraid it will not be a year and a half, but two and three years."

Zheng Chongjian paused, "If there is no trilateral governor, there is a trilateral governor, then these should be the responsibilities of the trilateral governor, the court will allocate that little bit of food, more monks and less porridge, if a bowl of water is uneven, I am afraid that it will be easy to cause trouble in the future." ”

Feng Ziying nodded silently, this trilateral governor is indeed not easy to be, if it really causes a mutiny, this governor will bear the brunt, and if it is not good, it will be the life of the scapegoat.

No wonder Zheng Chongjian reminded him that the four towns in Shaanxi and several prefectures have basically been in drought in recent years, and occasionally mixed with locust plagues, and there will be a large number of displaced people at the turn of spring and summer every year, and small-scale disturbances will continue.

"Dazhang, thank you, I will tell my father about this situation, as for how the court will arrange it, and how he himself thinks about it, I can't say, but I can't say that step yet." Feng Ziying also nodded solemnly to express her gratitude, "But anyway, thank you." ”

"You and I are not welcome, not to mention that this is also official business, if Ling Zun really wants to take over as the governor of the three sides, and the foolish brother is in the military department, then there will be more time to deal with." Zheng Chongjian also patted Feng Ziying on the shoulder.

*******

"Oh? It is also the right thing to let you go back, Chai Ke and Yang He are the deputy commanders of the counterinsurgency, and now Liu Dongyang's department has not been resolved, of course they can't go, you are a Shujishi, it is very appropriate to go back and report, and the emperor has a good impression of you, and you are still a son of Wuxun, so it is most appropriate for you to go back and report. ”

Feng Tang was not surprised by this arrangement, "It's just that the plan of Chai Yang and Yang is quite good, but how can the imperial court raise money and food?" Will your idea be immediate? ”

"Then it depends on the determination and ideas of the court and the emperor." Feng Ziying also sighed, "But my son thinks that this should be the best solution, and the other methods are quite sequelae and difficult to solve, and my son plans to explain some of my own ideas to the two of them after going back." ”

Feng Tang also knew that this should be the safest solution, and it would be difficult to deal with it if he really wanted to fight or ignore it, so Chai Ke couldn't wait to ask his son to return to Beijing immediately to report the details to the imperial court.

"As for what you said about your classmate, my father knows that the situation in Yulin and Yan'an is very bad, there have been continuous droughts and locusts, and the local government has not been able to provide relief. The position of the governor of the three sides seems to be high and powerful, but in the absence of money and food, this is a powder keg, and the father is not willing to borrow this hot potato, and it is best for the court ministers to take over. ”

Feng Tang also saw very clearly that with that energy, it was better to go back to Beijing to find an errand, anyway, his son is out of the way now, and he is not so keen on this position.

Seeing that Feng Ziying still wanted to say, Feng Tang waved his hand, "This matter is for my father to know how to deal with it, Chai Yang and the others will not be able to leave within a year, so you don't have to worry, after you go back, you should first ask your mother to invite someone to come to the door to discuss the marriage, this matter can not be delayed any longer, the girls of the Shen family are all nineteen, and it is not appropriate to delay like this, at least we must settle the family affairs, and it is good to reassure the hearts of the other people." ”

"In addition, the father is still the same sentence, if it is appropriate, you can also take Yunshang and other suitable girls into the house, this trip to the father is also a little palpitating, if you can give Mr. Feng one or two heirs, then you can also have an explanation to the ancestors of the Feng family earlier, you can take this letter back to your mother."

*****

When Feng Ziying Qichen left Ganzhou, it was already late July.

The negotiations with Liu Dongyang went relatively smoothly, and as expected, Liu Dongyang's previous condition was to nominally surrender to Chengcheng, but continue to stay in Suzhou and Gaotai and Zhenyi, which of course Chai Ke and they could not agree.

Later, Chai Ke proposed to let Liu Dongyang's troops go west out of the sandbank, where the imperial court could guarantee most of its logistics grain and grass, and at the same time, let Liu Dongyang protect the western trade routes, and realize mutual markets with the Mongolian tribes in the West Sea, like providing war horses on the three sides.

This was another tug-of-war negotiation, but fortunately, Liu Dongyang and Chai Ke had already understood what they wanted and what they could provide, so they quickly reached an agreement.

The day before Feng Ziying left, the basic conditions of the two sides were negotiated, and they only waited for a clear answer from the imperial court.

To return to Jingshi City from Ganzhou, you need to cross the entire Gansu Town, Ningxia Town, Yulin Town, and the north of Shanxi Town until Datong, and then enter the Jingshi territory.

This line is basically dominated by post roads in the army, but it is not peaceful in Ningxia and Gansu, and there are still many fish in the countryside who have slipped through the net and become bandits, killing people and goods, robbing and plundering, and doing everything.

This trip to escort Feng Ziying back became Feng You again, which made Feng Ziying also very happy.

Feng Zuo is the most important assistant by his father's side, so he can't follow Feng Ziying back to Beijing, Feng You is the most suitable, he knows the roots, and he still has some friendship.

"Young master, I'm afraid that in the future, you really can't act as wantonly as you did in Linqing and on the grassland." Feng You's tone of voice was much more relaxed than Feng Zuo's, which was the main reason why Feng Ziying was happy to be with Feng You.

Feng Zuo always has a serious tone and tone with a straight face, even if it is explanation and persuasion, it is also a hard tone, while Feng You is much more sleek and soft.

"The lord is old, he can't withstand such a toss, and the lord can accept other things calmly, including his own safety, but your things can not be handled calmly, after you went to the grassland, there was no news to come, the lord didn't sleep well for a while, until the news came back, he slept peacefully, and then you went to Ganzhou and there was no news, the lord is still responsible for commanding the war, and he has to worry about you, so he gets old very quickly, until the news of Ganzhou comes, the lord finally relaxes his heart,......"

Feng You's words made Feng Ziying truly realize that the specific bond between this bloodline was enough to surpass everything else, and he could no longer use other reasons to perfunctory his father and mother in the future, everything they did was for their own good.

"Thank you Uncle You for reminding me, Ziying understands." Feng Ziying also nodded solemnly, "So it's wise for me to leave Ganzhou, I'm here, and my father has always been difficult to let go." ”

"If the young master wants to be happy to be the master and his wife, the best way is to give birth to a boy and a half girl for the Feng family as soon as possible, the master has been thinking about it since you went to the grassland, and you have not left a bloodline for the Feng family, so if the young master can, solve this problem as soon as possible after meeting the Jingshi, I think the master can also feel at ease here in Ganzhou."

Feng You's words were more like being entrusted by someone, but Feng Ziying could understand it.
