Geng Character Scroll, Drunken Lights and Swords, Section 3 Xiao Qiang (2)
The group left Hazel Town and headed straight for Fengrun.
Zhenzi Town is less than 60 miles away from Fengrun, closer than Luanzhou, Lulong and Qian'an, but it belongs to Luanzhou.
There is a post station at the twenty-mile official road, marking the entry into Fengrun County of Shuntian Prefecture from here. However, there are few people along the way, and even at this post station, it is obvious that no one has stayed there for a long time.
Neither Yang Sichang nor Zheng Chongjian looked very good-looking. Feng Ziying shook her head and said, "Wen Ruo, Dazhang, why are you doing this? This war happened everywhere. Fengrun and Yutian counties are not located in strategic pass areas, and they are far away from the capital."
There is a certain distance between the city and Jizhen, so it is naturally impossible for heavy troops to be stationed there. When the people see this situation, they will naturally retreat to prevent military chaos."
Yang Sichang sighed and said nothing, but Zheng Chongjian couldn't help but said: "Ziying, the chief officials of Fengrun and Yutian counties are so timid. When we came from the capital a few days ago, there were rumors and chaos in the two counties, and bandits were rampant.
, the refugees were running around, and no county government officials came out to refute the rumors and maintain law and order. As soon as we left Fengrun County, right on the edge of the Xi River, we were almost robbed by the refugees. It was better for us to be fast, otherwise we don’t know what trouble would happen."
Feng Ziying also knows the situation in Yutian and Fengrun counties.
Because these two counties are Gyeonggi counties adjacent to Yongping Prefecture, the population of the two counties exceeds 500,000, and Yutian in particular is close to 300,000. Of course, the tax-paying service population held by the government is only 100,000, and the real population is generally
It is two to three times, and this has been the case since the Ming Dynasty.
However, because the Jizhen garrison either stationed in Zunhua to confront the Inner Khalkha and Horqin coalition forces, or retreated to Liangchengsuo and Jizhou, Yutian and Fengrun counties were vast, and there was no danger to rely on except the county seat, so the Jizhen army
After the invasion of the Neikhalks, they quickly retreated strategically from Zhongtunwei, Fengrun and Yutian counties in Kaiping to Jizhen and Liangchengsuo.
The result of this retreat was that the officials and gentry of the two counties were in an uproar. Some wealthy and wealthy families fled to the capital, while ordinary people could only hide in the mountains or find shelter in the countryside.
The yamen of the two counties also contacted the Shuntian government yamen one after another, seeking orders to do things in an expedient manner. This increased the fear of the people in the county, and they fled to other places to hide. Even in Lulong and Luanzhou, at least tens of thousands of people poured in to escape.
flames of war.
"Refugees dare to rob officials?" Feng Ziying was quite surprised. There were also many refugees pouring into Yongping. He could understand why you said they were robbing officials because of hunger, but if they were robbing officials, that would be a bit exaggerated.
"We are also a little puzzled. These refugees seem to be a little fanatical, more like organized by some people..." Zheng Chongjian hesitated: "I have some doubts about whether some secret societies such as the White Lotus Sect, Wenxiang Sect and Sanyang Sect are here.
Among them, there is co-optation and incitement. In addition, the government offices in the two counties are now vacant, and most of the gentry have fled to the capital city, so the situation here is very chaotic."
Feng Ziying was surprised and looked behind subconsciously. Wu Yaoqing followed the three of them not far away. He noticed Feng Ziying's gaze and urged him to come over again, "Sir?"
Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, then asked: "Yaoqing, Fengrun, Yutian is very chaotic. You were not in Hazel Town some time ago. Did you get any news? I mean those secret societies..."
Seeing that both Yang Sichang and Zheng Chongjian had their eyes on Wu Yaoqing, Feng Ziying explained: "Because I had to meet with Zai Sai in this Zhenzi Town a few days ago, I felt uneasy, so I asked Yaoqing to come over and do some thorough searches first.
, and also got an understanding of the people's sentiments here. Hazel Town is close to Fengrun, so we have to deal with Fengrun."
"Sir, Fengrun, there are secret society activities in Yutian. The White Lotus Sect, the Wuwei Sect, the Wenxiang Sect, the Dongdhayana Sect, the Bangchui Sect and the Yuandun Sect have all been discovered. We have discovered a few of them here in Yongping.
Prefectures and counties have taken precautions, but they are still hard to guard against. Shuntian Prefecture seems to be more relaxed in this regard and no one cares about it, so the situation is worse than our Yongping Prefecture."
Wu Yaoqing’s words did not go beyond Feng Ziying’s expectations.
The mountains and rivers in the Gyeonggi area are connected, and the folk customs are similar. Although Fengrun, Yutian and Luanzhou and Lulong belong to two separate prefectures, they are both in the Jingdong area. There are many relationships and marriages. Look at Yutian and Fengrun. The refugees here went to Luanzhou because of the war and drought.
, Lu Long is escaping here, so he can know a thing or two. How can the development of secret societies like this be separated from these connections.
"Oh?" Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, then asked: "Are there any signs of activities in these clubs here taking advantage of this period of chaos?"
"This,..." Wu Yaoqing thought for a while, "There must be activities. Most of the wealthy gentry in Yutian and Fengrun counties have fled to the capital, and their control over the local areas has been greatly weakened. The government does not have the intention to do so now.
No matter what, the backbone members of these societies will definitely take advantage of the development to win over the people. However, the Mongols are now the number one enemy. If they want to take advantage of this time to do something big, I'm afraid it's not that big of a deal. According to your request, we will do more
Most of them are still investigating the situation in our Yongping territory. The Shuntian Prefecture is just incidental, and we don’t know much about the specific situation."
Wu Yaoqing's words were quite satisfactory, and Yang Sichang and Zheng Chongjian both nodded slightly. It seems that Feng Ziying, his capable subordinate, is a character who understands the rules. He does things beautifully, but he does not exceed the bottom line of his duty.

"Wenwei, Da Zhang, the land of Gyeonggi has experienced such a torment by the Mongols. After they retreat, the situation will probably be much worse. There will always be those restless people who will take the opportunity to cause trouble. After they go back, I'm afraid you will
I want to talk to the two adults and ask them to inform the Ministry of Punishment and Shuntian Prefecture."
Feng Ziying's words also made Yang Sichang and Zheng Chongjian nod in approval, "This is what it should be. Even if Ziying hadn't said it, we would have done the same."
The group of people walked and talked about it. When they were still two or three miles away from Fengrun County, they saw a group of people holding sticks and hammers near a village and swarming past. However, when they saw Feng Ziying and his group, they were still a little confused.
Afraid, they subconsciously leaned to the side.
Yang Sichang and Zheng Chongjian both realized something, but Feng Ziying's face was very calm, and she didn't even bother to look at this group of people, so she just passed by.
“Are you from the Bangchui Club?” Feng Ziying asked slightly as he arrived at Fengrun County.
"Yes, the Bangchui Club is actually a branch of the White Lotus Sect. Its home base is in Jingzhou, over there in Wuyi." Wu Yaoqing lowered his voice and said, "I just arranged for someone to go there, but they can't get in yet..."
Feng Ziying frowned, "They are very well-organized?"
"No, the leader of the Bangchui Society is named Yu, but this person is elusive. We don't have many people in Hejian and Zhending, so we have to slowly look for people. In addition, we don't dare to use it randomly if we don't know the basics." Wu Yaoqing was a little confused.
Regretfully, "We have had less contact with you in the north. Fortunately, the people on Ni Er's side in the past few years have come from various prefectures in Beizhi, so there are still some people available."
“Yao Qing, tell me the truth, what are the conditions of the White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect here in Gyeonggi Province?” Feng Ziying pondered for a moment before asking slowly.
"There are them in every prefecture, especially Shuntian Prefecture, and then I'm afraid it's our Yongping Prefecture." Wu Yaoqing thought for a while, "We arranged for someone to keep an eye on the Wang family in Shifokou, but they are very vigilant there and can't penetrate at all.
Until now, we can’t even grasp the basic internal situation, we can only know a rough idea..."
Feng Ziying sighed. He also knew that he was in trouble. Although he was a grass-head king in troubled times, he had been in business for decades. He had only been in Yongping Mansion for a few months. He was not a god.

************
Niu Jizong crumpled the letter into a ball with a complicated expression, then placed it next to the candle, watched it burn and turned into a ball of ashes, and then stretched out his hand to rub his temples.
The emperor and the Ministry of War were dismembered by the Emperor and the Ministry of War in such a ruthless manner. They did a great job. He wanted to know what Chen Jixian was thinking in his heart now? Is he still thinking about playing both sides?
Qiu Shiben's Shenshu Camp was basically a direct descendant of the emperor. Now the Shenji Camp was wiped out, the five military camps were severely damaged, and the situation of the entire Beijing Camp was suddenly reversed. No wonder Prince Yi Zhong couldn't sit still.
The question is what can I do? The Xuanfu army seems to be strong and strong, and they can enforce orders and prohibitions, but how much can I control?
The Datong Army followed closely. Niu Jizong shook his head. The risky move they imagined was simply impossible. How could the emperor and the Ministry of War not have this consideration?
After twisting the paper dust away, Niu Jizong's eyes returned to the map. The Outer Khalkha people were very active, but with the Xuanfu army's deployment in place, it was impossible for the Outer Khalkha people to break through from Changping to Shunyi.
Of course, if Ji Zhenjun fails, he will not be blamed.
There has been no movement from the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but Niu Jizong knows that this does not mean that he will not be held accountable for his earlier matters, which often means that in the end, the scores will be doubled.
Thinking of this, Niu Jizong snorted. If these accounts really have to be settled, he is not afraid. Is there no one to explain the situation in Jizhen?
As soon as the news of the big trap that Feng Tang created in Fushun reached the capital, he quickly got the news. If the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, wanted to deal with it, then everyone should deal with it.
These are actually not things that Niu Jizhong cares about. Who can say clearly what the situation will turn into by then? What he is most concerned about now is whether Prince Yi Zhong really plans to take the final step.
Once this step is taken, the whole Zhou Dynasty will fall apart. Should I really follow it? Where is Wang Ziteng? How many people are willing to follow it?
If you want to follow Prince Yohitada, how should you go?
