Regarding Feng Ziying's curiosity about the situation in Liaodong, Zhao Shujiao did not hide anything, and came one by one.

"The abandonment of the six forts of Kuandian is the biggest mistake, and the military department is so hasty that it will inevitably cause disaster." As soon as Zhao Shujiao talked about this, he couldn't help but pat his legs with his palms and sighed, "There are at least tens of thousands of my Dazhou people in the area of Kuandian Liubao, who have been settled in the local area for decades, and now they say that they will give up, how can it be so easy?" Said to move back to the mainland, where to move? How much did the relocation cost, and how much compensation could the imperial court give? There is also the Kuandian Six Forts are border military camps, and the taxes are almost completely exempt, and once they return to the mainland, their taxes should be clear compared to the Ziying brothers, right? Who wants to? ”

Feng Ziying was silent.

He also knew a little about the situation of Kuandian Liubao, and the imperial court did make some mistakes in making this decision, especially Li Chengliang as the initiator, but Feng Ziying also knew some of the reasons, and not Li Chengliang alone could take full responsibility.

On the one hand, the court has always been skeptical about whether Li Chengliang's old age can still take on heavy responsibilities, and on the other hand, they are worried that the Li family has been entrenched in Liaodong for too long, and the battle of Renchen is also the main battle of the Li family, so they are a little afraid that the Li family will not be able to lose in Liaodong.

Li Chengliang was also aware of this, and he was already a little reluctant because of his old age and lack of energy, and he just wanted to enjoy his old age as soon as possible, and the Jianzhou Jurchen forces were in a period of rapid rise, and there were constant conflicts with Liaodong Town, Li Chengliang was unwilling to take on the responsibility of initiating border provocations and gave people a handle, and also miscalculated that giving up the Kuandian Six Forts might be able to obtain a buffer zone with the Jianzhou Jurchens, and Xiao Daheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also agreed with this, so he took this extremely stupid step.

Of course, there are some other factors in this, such as the consumption of military cantonments and garrisons is also a problem, but it should not be considered a major factor, but everyone insists on reducing military salary expenses as much as possible, so this is also a secondary factor.

Due to the reluctance of many people who had settled in Kuandian Liubao for many years to be embedded, Liaodong Town adopted military means to forcibly relocate, which directly led to the flight of a large number of people to the Jurchens and were taken in by the Jurchens.

And Liaodong Town negotiated with the Jurchen, but the Jurchen side refused to return it, or even did not admit it at all.

This situation has also become more and more intense, and many of them have even been directly relocated to Hetuara by the Jurchens, which has also made the Jurchen power soar.

"Now the Jurchens are constantly attacking and eroding the Mongolian tribes in western Liaoxi, and as their power continues to expand, the threat to the Mongolian left wing is getting bigger and bigger, some Mongolian tribes can't withstand the threats and temptations of the Jurchens, and move closer to it, in addition, the Jianzhou Jurchens are also constantly suppressing and encroaching on other Jurchen tribes, and the action is getting bigger and bigger, it can be said that its expansion rate is far beyond the expectations of our court ministers, I don't know if our military department has let these situations to the military department and the cabinet of the princes, If so, why haven't they done anything to curb and reverse the situation? ”

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Shujiao couldn't help but express his inner depression and worries.

He was opposed to the abandonment of the six forts of Kuandian, and also opposed the forced relocation of the people, but he annoyed his superiors and was finally dismissed.

But until now, he still insists that the six forts of Kuandian cannot be given up, which is equivalent to giving the Jianzhou Jurchens a broad room for depth.

Moreover, the land around the six forts of Kuandian is fertile, and it is really a good place for farming, with the six forts of Kuandian and the surrounding areas, it is completely possible to create a wedge that is close to the hinterland of the Jianzhou Jurchen nest, and at the same time, it can also make the North Korea in the south have some scruples, so as not to get too close to the Jianzhou Jurchen.

It's just that now the situation is irreparable, and he can only cry out in vain.

"At present, the Jianzhou Jurchen is sharpening their knives under the leadership of the Nu Chieftain, preparing to attack the Ula Department, Yehe Department, and Huifa Department of the Haixi Jurchens, and at the same time, they are also frequently using troops against the Jurchens in the East China Sea, these departments have been repeatedly attacked by the Jianzhou Jurchens, and their power has been weakened a lot, if the imperial court does not take measures again, once these departments are annexed by the Jianzhou Jurchens, then the Jianzhou Jurchen forces will be really difficult to contain."

Feng Ziying listened very carefully, and even asked about some tribes and situations that were not very clear.

Zhao Shujiao also talked about his interest, so he simply went directly to the desk and painted with wine, drawing the situation faced by the entire Liaodong Town one by one, so that Feng Ziying could more intuitively understand the current predicament faced by Liaodong Town.

This meal had been eaten for more than an hour before it was stopped, and Feng Ziying also had an intuitive understanding of Zhao Shujiao's loyalty.

Just based on the other party's words today, at least it can show that this person is loyal to Da Zhou, and he is also the kind of person who dares to tell the truth and tell the truth, and this kind of person is the foundation talent who can support his side in troubled times.

In her previous life, although Feng Ziying had read "History of the Ming Dynasty", she was more interested, or hoped that she would not be too lonely in front of her friends and colleagues, and did not read it deeply.

He also didn't know much about the geography of Liaodong, and he didn't know much about the various forces, and he only had a vague idea of why the Ming Dynasty retreated from the six forts of Kuandian to control the entire Jurchen and Mongol right wings, and finally began to attack the Ming Dynasty.

But one thing he knows is that once the Jianzhou Jurchens completed the conquest and unification of the entire Haixi Jurchens and the savage Jurchens, and then controlled the Mongolian right wing, there were no worries, and the Ming Dynasty was facing all kinds of internal and external troubles, just like a patient tied up with his hands and feet fighting with a healthy person who was not strong but could attack flexibly.

Regardless of these results, it can be seen that in one war after another, the Jurchens will become stronger and stronger, and eventually wait for an opportunity to defeat the Central Plains Dynasty in one fell swoop.

The current situation in Da Zhou seems to be worse than that of the late Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the Renchen War, the Wa rebellion occurred in the three major wars of Wanli, but it still had endless sequelae, and the Wa people did not seem to have died down as they had in their previous lives, and the Tokugawa shogunate still seemed to need to prove his rule with a victory in a war.

And what the Ningxia rebellion was Feng Ziying had no impression, but it definitely hadn't happened yet, and a riot in the southwest should not have happened yet, but according to the fragmentary news of Fu Zonglong and Wang Yingxiong, it seems that this hotbed has been fermenting, and it is only waiting for the last moment to break out.

Zhao led the teacher away, a little drunk, but more worried.

Similarly, his meal of wine also brought Feng Ziying a lot of unexpected troubles.

Feng Ziying really wants to enjoy the good life of this feudal dynasty as a privileged class, but he also hopes that in this era, he can bring some changes to this society and this country with his own strength, so that this society and the country can move towards a better side and move forward faster.

But as he got to know more and more about this dynasty and country, he found with some sadness and powerlessness that it was really too difficult for one person to change all this.

But if you don't struggle and pay the hardships and costs for it, I'm afraid that even this good life may come to an abrupt end because of a sudden war.

At present, the only chance is that the timeline is not too late, but the feeling of this sword hanging above his head is too uncomfortable, so he will work so hard to fight upward, to go to a higher position in the shortest possible time, and master more resources that can be used for himself, only in this way, can he win in this race against time, in order to keep his good life in the future.

Before, he was only worried about the situation in Liaodong, but now he is very worried, and at present, it seems that the ambition of the Mongolian tribes in the north to herd horses in the south of the Central Plains is still undiminished, and its strength still exists, but fortunately, its split situation can still make people feel a little relieved.

Back home, Feng Ziying was a little uneasy.

Although he knew that it was pointless to think about these things now, and he had no strength to intervene in all this, his most urgent problem was to take the Chunqiu exam first, take the Jinshi exam, and truly become a member of the Great Zhou Shilin civil official group, so that he was qualified to talk about others, but this kind of crisis and threat from reality still made him unable to sleep.

Maybe I really should go to the fellow of Dongchang Mansion to learn about the current situation in Liaodong? Geng Ruqi is in the Ministry of War, I am afraid that he can understand the situation in Liaodong more comprehensively and higher than Zhao Shujiao, even if he can't do anything now, but at least he can make his heart tense this string.

On the second day, Feng Ziying went straight to the military department and found Geng Ruqi.

Geng Ruqi was also very surprised by Feng Ziying's arrival, and Feng Ziying was not polite, and said what she saw and heard last night, especially mentioning why the Jurchens paid such a large tribute, far beyond the regulations of the imperial court, and also traded with inland merchants without any control.

Geng Ruqi's answer made Feng Ziying even more anxious.

The Jurchens did not have such an example of wantonly breaking through the scale and number of tributes once or twice, and the imperial court also had a contradictory attitude towards the arrogance and presumptuousness of the Jurchens.

This also led to the fact that the Jurchen tribute group was not only limited in size, but also became more and more closely connected with the merchant groups in the mainland, and the export of various prohibited materials outside the customs became more and more prominent.

Feng Ziying almost returned to the academy with a powerless mentality, and as soon as he returned to the academy, he informed Lian Guoshi of the situation, he knew that Lian Guoshi was also very concerned about the situation in Liaodong, and he told Feng Ziying about Geng Ruqi's anger and worry last time.

The two of them also discussed this situation for a long time, and prepared to think about it first, and prepared to work together to write a letter to the court after the spring festival.
