On the ninth day of the first month of May, Feng Ziying and his entourage arrived in Jingshi City.

On the first night of Feng Ziying's arrival in Jingshi City, Feng Tang also returned to Jingshi from Western Xinjiang.

The father and son almost rushed back to Jingshi City on the front foot.

Compared with the last time I returned to the capital city, this time it was relatively relaxed, but there may be more follow-up affairs.

But with Fan Jingwen and Wu Fu, who came back with him, many things can be arranged for them to do first, such as the collection of concession fees for the entire trip to Jiangnan, the sale of open sea bonds, and the negotiation of the formation of the city shipping department, etc., all of which can be written by Fan Jingwen and Wu Fu.

It can be said that in addition to the formation of the city's shipping department, other matters related to the opening of the sea have basically been on the road, even if there is no oneself, it is not a big problem to follow this routine in the future.

As for Haitong Yinzhuang, with the effective cooperation of King Zhongshun and the full preparation in the early stage, it is nothing more than a matter of fast and slow development.

"Mengzhang, Luyou, the next job may be the two of you, I'm going to be lazy." Feng Ziying said goodbye to the two on the dock, "Tell the official teacher, I have something to do here, I will go to the middle school tomorrow morning, I think the official teacher should ask, you can also answer ,......"

"Ziying, I know that you are like an arrow, otherwise, Lu You and I will go back to rest today, and we will go to the Chinese calligraphy department together tomorrow and report to the officials,......"

Fan Jingwen is still very knowledgeable, and suggested it knowingly, and Wu Fu also agreed.

Feng Ziying was not polite, and after thanking her, she agreed on a time and said goodbye.

rushed home all the way, Feng Ziying finally saw her father who had been absent for more than half a year.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Feng Tang has darkened a lot, but his spirit is not bad, but his face is not very good-looking.

The door of the study was closed, and the two teas rose in front of the father and son, and they dispersed in a flash.

"My father doesn't want to go to Liaodong, and I have already submitted my resignation, but I haven't been able to hand it over, Chai Ke clearly told my father that the imperial court has decided and I must go to ,......" Feng Tang put his hand on his forehead, his face full of sadness and exhaustion.

"Why is my father reluctant to go to Liaodong?" Feng Ziying roughly knew some reasons, but he was surprised to see that his father was going to refuse to go to Liaodong by submitting a resignation letter.

This is almost an escape, even if he is lucky enough to be spared from taking office, then it means that his father can only do this, and there is no possibility of a comeback.

With his own understanding of his father's official fan character, he is in good physical condition at this age, and he is definitely unwilling to be a leader, but in order not to go to Liaodong, he is so determined?

If you go down to the ordinary path of Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke, you can't change it, but now at this point, there is already a lot of noise outside, and there is basically no room for maneuver.

"There are so many reasons, and each one is fatal." Feng Tang shook his head with a declining face, and sighed, "The most fundamental one, I am not familiar with the situation in Liaodong, I don't know anything about the enemy on the other side, but at this time I have to face it, once the situation is unfavorable, it is a trivial matter for me to go to prison, which delays the layout of the imperial court in Liaodong, and even affects the survival of the entire Liaodong, and my father really can't bear this responsibility." ”

Feng Ziying realized that her father seemed to be really flustered, and if he wanted to go to Liaodong with such a state of mind without confidence and fighting spirit, he was afraid that something really would happen.

Even if the important ministers of the court are aware of their father's situation, I am afraid that they will lose confidence in their father.

"Father, no one can get acquainted with the situation as soon as they go, haven't you also worked in Datong for so many years? I have also dealt with the Chahars for so many years, and Liaodong has to face the Jurchens and Mongols, and to put it bluntly, the Jianzhou Jurchens and Chahars, and the Horqin people a little further north,......"

Feng Ziying cautiously tested her father's mind.

He felt that his father was not as simple as just because he was not familiar with the situation in Liaodong.

The Mongols are not so powerful now, it is not enough to make their father so annoying, the father of the Chahar people is also very familiar with Lin Dan Khan, and he is still young, not to mention how much of a threat there is, the Jianzhou Jurchen is of course the most tricky, but before the Jianzhou Jurchen has not completed the unification of the Jurchen Department, the threat to Liaodong is huge, but it is not fatal.

If his father is really worried about this, it is not impossible to find a chance to get out of Liaodong Gou for three or five years, with his father's character, this ability to be a pasteur is definitely much stronger than his ability to fight on the battlefield.

Besides, the situation in Liaodong is dangerous, it is just a seemingly irreversible trend that makes the ministers of the court anxious, not that it is about to reach a situation where it is out of control and will fall completely.

According to the timeline, if Nurhachi wants to really control the Jurchen tribes to launch a general attack on Liaodong Town, it will be at least ten years later, and his father is not Li Chengliang, so he never thought about holding out in Liaodong for more than ten years, right?

"Hmph, you said it lightly, do you really think that your father doesn't know the situation in Liaodong when he is on the three sides?" Feng Tang said impatiently: "The momentum of the Jianzhou Jurchens is thriving, and the Haixi tribes are simply unable to compete, and within three or five years, the Haixi Jurchens will only be wiped out, once the Jianzhou Jurchens swallow the Haixi Jurchens, as well as the Horqin Department who are eye-to-eye with them, the Great Zhou will fall into isolation and helplessness in Liaodong, maybe your father will be trapped and die in Liaodong." ”

Feng Ziying realized that her father was not ignorant of the situation in Liaodong, and he still had some research.

"Father, aren't there still Chahars? Aren't the people of Horqin just eye-to-eye with the Jianzhou Jurchens now, and haven't really embraced the Jianzhou Jurchens? "Feng Ziying is as steady as a dog.

He needs to cheer up for his father, and he can't let his father coax him, otherwise if his father really coaxes Zhishi, not only will the Feng family have to bear a reputation of fearing enemies like tigers, but he is afraid that the reputation he has worked so hard to build up in Western Xinjiang will have to be in vain, and he will never be able to turn over.

No one will trust a general who is afraid of a battle with the Jurchens, this is the most basic red line of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the generals, you can be cautious, you can be thorough, you can ask for any conditions, but you can't be afraid of a war, this is the conclusion that Feng Ziying reached when dealing with the military department.

"Hmph, Lin Dan Batur is a little hairy child, he doesn't understand bullshit, what can he do? The current Chahar people are strong from the outside, and they can't even control the Korqin people, and they still want to be the co-masters of the Mongols? Feng Tang's face was full of disdain, "Nurhachi is not stupid, the Horqin people are used to seeing the wind and the rudder, as long as the Jianzhou Jurchens destroy the Ula Ministry, the Horqin people will definitely not be able to sit still, and they will definitely fall to the Jianzhou Jurchens, then the Yehe tribe sandwiched between them will have only one way to perish,......"

Feng Tang had spies outside the side wall, and he originally thought that he was going to take over as the governor of the three sides, so he had already begun to lay out, whether it was not the Tumuts, or the Ordos, or the Mughal people and the Xihai tribes further west, he had connections and scouts, and all the movements were under control.

Now that the westernmost side has controlled Hami, it is definitely not possible to continue to expand the territory, but he is still sure of maintaining a stable situation, but he didn't expect that the imperial court would suddenly let him go to Liaodong, which disrupted his plan at once.

"Then let Nurhachi not be able to destroy the Urabe!" Feng Ziying was still calm, but her tone became more and more cold, "Support the Yehe Ministry, knock on the Horqin Ministry, contact the Chahar people, all in all, let the Jianzhou Jurchen not want to act as he wishes, this is what Liaodong Town has to do, no matter what, it must be done!" ”

Feng Tang squinted at his son and snorted lightly, "You said it quite easily, do it?" How to go on? Paper! That all need people and soldiers, swords, guns and arrows, armor and food, in the final analysis, they all need silver, how much money can the court have to support such a big movement? And it's not a matter of one or two years, but three years, five years, ten years, and twenty years of spending, until one side falls! ”

"The silver court will find a way, but if you lose your confidence in your father, then this Liaodong will not be able to hold it." Feng Ziying said calmly.

"Don't blow your dad so badly, your dad eats a few bowls of rice, and he knows it in his heart." Feng Tang didn't eat Feng Ziying's set at all, "On old scheming, dad is not as good as Li Chengliang, on planning and planning, dad is not as good as Xiong Tingbi, on courage and decisiveness, dad is not as good as Liu Wei, your dad has to have one word, steady!" But at present, Liaodong is not able to sit still by relying on a stable word, and has to have the ability to break the game, so stable, like an insect bound by a spider's web, it will only become tighter and tighter, and in the end there is no chance to struggle. ”

Feng Ziying was quite shocked.

He has always thought that his father is a relatively mediocre general, and the imperial court can't choose a suitable person to go to Liaodong, so let his father temporarily resist it, like Xiong Tingbi, a cow who has been shown in the history of his previous life, is the most suitable, of course, the timeline is still a little early.

But now it seems that his father still sees his situation in Liaodong quite accurately, which makes him a little more confident.

"Father, the son doesn't think that Liaodong is as unbearable as you said that it is like a worm bound by a spider's web, it is true that the situation in Liaodong is not good now, and Li Chengliang's early measures are also a last resort, but now with the support of the emperor and the cabinet princes, the son feels that there is still a way to solve the situation in Liaodong." Feng Ziying said sincerely.

"Just a few people from the Yehe Division?" Feng Tang's eyes were like eagles, "Didn't you fall in love with that Bushia Mara?" I'll tell you, any woman can touch it, but you can't touch this daughter of Bu Zhai! ”
