Feng You directly told Feng Ziying what he thought. At present, Linqing was controlled by the Xuanfu army, and as the imperial court prepared to conquer the south, Shandong was bound to become a battlefield, and Linqing was an unavoidable focus, so it was natural to let
The whole family returned north.
"Go to Tianjin Wei or Tongzhou?" Of course Wang Xifeng also knew the risks of returning to the capital city, so he could accept Feng Ziying's arrangement. Tianjin Wei is not far from Linqing, only 700 miles. If you take a boat, this season, ten
It can be reached in 3 days. If it is Tongzhou, it will only take 2 more days.
Wang Xifeng did not want to go to Tongzhou. Tongzhou was too close to the capital city and there were many people coming and going. Many people from the capital city even sent guests to Tongzhou. It was easy for things to go wrong when people came and went.
Tianjin Wei is a military-style town developed from the Wei Station. Although it develops very quickly, it is still dominated by the Wei army. Most of the people living outside are business travelers traveling between the north and the south. In such an environment, it is discovered that
The possibility is also smaller.
Wang Xifeng is still very decisive in matters like this. After a moment of hesitation, he made a decision: "Then go to Tianjin Wei, but we are not familiar with Tianjin Wei either..."
"Grandma, don't worry. My uncle has already made arrangements before he came. He prepared a big house right next to the Tianjin Wei City. It turned out to be a guard house for a thousand households. It's not far from the barracks, but it's also next to the residential streets in the city.
It's convenient and safe." Feng You was busy, "It's the same if grandma wants to go to Tongzhou. It's all up to grandma. I care about grandma very much..."
Wang Xifeng snorted lightly and sat up with Ping'er's help, "Humph, it's not me he cares about, maybe it's the evil in my belly."
Feng You could only avoid this topic by lowering his head and coughing.
This young master of my family is good at everything, but he can't get enough of this woman. He has two wives and a lot of concubines, but he still gets married to such a divorced woman, and she is also the wife of the Jia family of the Wang family. Then
Every relationship is troublesome, and what's even more troublesome is that this woman is actually pregnant.
As the young master's status increased, Feng You could hide this kind of thing from Lieutenant Long. Of course, Lieutenant Long would generally not care about such matters between men and women, but if something happened in the future, someone wanted to use this to deal with him.
Master, that is a big trouble.
It's just that the deal has been done, and it's useless to try to persuade him at this time. He can only try to cover it up as much as possible to avoid being noticed by outsiders, or to delay the exposure of this kind of thing as long as possible to see if there are other ways to make up for it.
"Now that Mistress has made up her mind, let's prepare as soon as possible. The passenger ships on the canal have not been completely cut off yet, but the inspections are stricter. Small ones can also have some ways to open up the joints, so we will try to set off tomorrow."
Feng You had already made arrangements before coming here and chose a passenger ship to go directly from Tongzhou to Linqing, and now he was just picking up passengers on the way back, and the reason was very good.
Although the Xuanfu army currently controls the canal, it is impossible to cut off the entire canal...
There were too many people relying on this river to eat. The Xuanfu army did not dare to offend the public. They only strengthened inspections to prevent food and money from being transported to the north. Even normal cloth, silk, porcelain, dried fruits, tea, and south
There is no way to ban these things all at once.
While the group was preparing, Wang Xifeng was also considering the next step.
Tianjin Wei is just a temporary place to stay. Sooner or later, I will return to the capital city, so it is necessary to make some arrangements in advance.
The current situation is chaotic, and war between the North and the South is imminent, but this should be short-lived, and may be resolved in a year or two. You need to consider the long-term future.
Wang Xifeng knew very well that no matter how much Feng Ziying cared for her, she and she would not be able to become a real family. Perhaps the only thing that could maintain their relationship was the child in her belly.
Wang Xifeng did not expect to rely on the other party for everything, but as a divorced woman, if she wanted to live the life she wanted in the future, she had to have her own business, and to make this business well, she had to rely on Feng Ziying's resources. This is something that cannot be shaken off.
Now Wang Xifeng needs to consider that once she gives birth to a child, she will have nothing to do for a year and a half. Wang Xifeng is not willing to live a life relying on Feng Ziying's charity. She can rely on Feng Ziying's help, but she hopes to use her own ability to live a happy life. Come at ease.

Feng You inadvertently mentioned that Tianjin Wei is becoming increasingly prosperous, Dagu has become a shipping port, and the Wei River can make Dagu become Tianjin Wei's outport. In addition, the canal connects the north and the south, and Tianjin Wei's commercial importance is becoming increasingly prominent. It is also said that in the future This place will also become an important station for the Northland Navy. If you can start some business in Tianjin Wei Jing, it might not be a good place.
Of course, Wang Xifeng herself is definitely not willing to live in Tianjin Wei for a long time. She just fell in love with the business opportunities here. Now many people have not realized the commercial value of Tianjin Wei, but in the future this place will definitely become more and more prosperous, even here. Buying a house or shop is also cost-effective. If you can sell some items such as cement and iron materials, you will definitely make a lot of money.
Since this trip will take a year and a half in Tianjin Wei, Wang Xin, Lai Wang and others can get familiar with the situation first and make preparations.
**********
For Feng Ziying, it is most fundamental to be her own Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister and take care of the affairs of the prefectures and counties in Shuntian Prefecture. However, just doing these is probably not enough, or even far from enough.
He has realized that in the next two years, the imperial court will definitely do everything it can to suppress the rebellion in Nanjing. However, the crisis caused by the severe drought in the North, the hidden danger of the White Lotus Sect, and the threats of the Jurchens and Mongols outside the border wall will inevitably restrain them. The energy of the imperial court is occupied, and Nanjing will definitely try its best to use these factors to interfere with the imperial court and make the situation more favorable to it.
It is not his turn to dictate the war in the south for the time being. Whether it is his father, Sun Chengzong or Xiong Tingbi, or the You brothers and Cao Wenzhao, He Shixian, even Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu and He Huchen, they are all better than themselves. All they can do is On the one hand, we should provide as much support as possible in terms of logistical support; on the other hand, we should sit in the position of Shuntian Prefecture and try our best to eliminate the possible negative impacts caused by the White Lotus Rebellion and the drought in the North.
However, thinking this way, Feng Ziying's performance during this period still attracted the attention of the court princes. At least a series of analyzes and suggestions were quite pertinent. The princes who originally had some opinions about Feng Ziying changed their attitudes and were more willing to
It’s good to listen to Feng Ziying’s opinions and suggestions on many things, even as a reference.
"Ziying, your father has already sent a letter. The first batch of troops from the three sides and four towns has been formed. There are about 50,000 people, led by your father personally. Liu Dongyang, Liu Baichuan and Tu Wenxiu are among them. Liu Dongyang is the vanguard and has gone south to Yaozhou.
, preparing to enter Henan from Tongguan." Qi Yongtai glanced at Feng Ziying, "Your Majesty also recommended that He Shixian be the acting governor of the three sides for the time being and preside over the overall situation in the northwest. There are also 40,000 troops who are also ready, led by Xiao Ruxun, who are expected to arrive in the middle of the month.
Departing in a few months.”
"If all the northwest troops are mobilized, wouldn't the northwest be empty? The drought in Shanxi and Shaanxi is so severe, what if..." Feng Ziying was surprised, but her father did not tell her this.
I didn't expect that my father would be so courageous and bring out the rebel generals Liu Baichuan, Liu Dongyang and Tu Wenxiu, and even let Liu Dongyang serve as a vanguard officer. But having said that, it is not more dangerous to leave Liu Dongyang and Tu Wenxiu in the northwest.
Is it big? It's better to use its strengths, which happen to be fighting, whether it's a collision with Wang Ziteng's Denglai Army or a battle with Niu Jizong's Xuanfu Army, it can be considered to be put to good use.
He Shixian was old enough to seek the country, so he was a suitable candidate to stay behind. In addition, he was very loyal to his father. It was obvious that his father wanted to help He Shixian rise to power. However, the court might not agree. In that case, the Feng family would have too much influence.
However, even if he is the acting governor-general of the three sides, once he has this qualification, it will be a matter of course for him to be transferred from Yulin to Jizhen or Datong in the future. This can be considered a small improvement.
"There are still 30,000 people undergoing training. Your Majesty is very optimistic about Qi Bingzhong and has recommended Qi Bingzhong to take over as the commander-in-chief of Ningxia Town, responsible for assisting He Shixian in pacifying the northwest." Qi Yongtai said with profound meaning: "Qi Bingzhong is also a Mongolian, and your Majesty trusts him very much.
"
"Master Qi, there are many Chinese and foreign nationalities in the border generals. From a student's perspective, our Great Zhou Dynasty is so powerful that even the Mongols are also members of our Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as we recognize my Great Zhou Zhengshuo and admire our Chinese civilization, there will be a bright future.
King Bali wants to be a member of the former Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing is enough to prove that the virtues of our Chinese civilization are universal." Feng Ziying actually understood that Qi Yongtai's words were not referring to Qi Bingzhong's Mongolian issue, but to his father who liked to appoint private individuals.
.
Isn’t this nonsense? If the army doesn’t use people you trust, is it really necessary to appoint people on merit? If you can’t even guarantee your loyalty, how can you give orders in a war?
Although this is a shortcoming in theory, Feng Ziying supported her father in doing so. If you don't have a group of loyal generals in a war, you really can't do it. People like Liu Dongyang and Tu Wenxiu, if
Dad is not completely sure and will never release it.
Feng Ziying didn't know how her father subdued these people, but if he really subdued these warriors, it would indeed become a good sword when used on the battlefield to the south.
For civil servants, this situation must be unacceptable, but for military commanders, as long as they can ensure victory in the battle, that's all.
Qi Yongtai saw Feng Ziying's sophistry and didn't bother to pay more attention. He didn't think Feng Tang's behavior was so outrageous. It was the same in border towns. Who asked Feng Tang to move from the west to the east and then from the east to the west?
How can we fight a war if we don't promote a few people who are suitable for us?
