Chapter 2226 Gui Zi Scroll Prejudgment, Connection

 Feng Ziying's face turned gloomy and she couldn't help but stand up and walk around. If someone from the White Lotus Sect was planning inside the Zijin Liang Department, then everything would make sense.

He has always suspected that the White Lotus Sect in China and the Fengzhou White Lotus on the grassland are connected. This is consistent with various discoveries he made when he was the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture.

However, although news from Fengzhou White Lotus has come back from time to time, it is all insignificant news. However, the White Lotus Sect in Beizhi, Shanxi, and Shandong has remained dormant, even hiding in its own palace in Beijing.

Qingwen's "parents" behaved in a very low-key manner and made no other changes, but the more they were like this, it meant that the other party's plans were bigger.

If the White Lotus Sect wants to take action, or even take action together with Fengzhou White Lotus, then the border area between Shanxi Town and Datong Town will be a bit dangerous, especially the Shanxi Town side.

Although Yang Yuan in Datong Town took office not long ago, and most of the Datong border troops were taken away by Sun Shaozu, Datong Town itself is much stronger than Shanxi Town, and the conditions of its guard posts are also better than those in Shanxi Town.

The side is strong, so the recovery situation is much better. The Shanxi Town side is really weak.

Feng Ziying still knew something about Fengzhou Bailian. Ever since he learned that Fengzhou Bailian was connected to Beizhi Bailian, he began to inquire through various channels.

Fengzhou Bailian is entrenched in the territory of the Tumut people, and it is inevitable to deal with the Tumut people. Zhao Quan and Li Zixin, the two leaders of Bailian who escaped from the border wall in the past, have been dead for many years. Now, the two major forces of Fengzhou Bailian have been separated.

It was controlled by Zhao Chongwu, the grandson of Zhao Quan, and Li Feiren, the grandnephew of Li Zixin. There was also another force formed by the White Lotus believers who fled from Shanxi to the outside of the border wall one after another in the later period, headed by Qiu Jian, a native of Baodian.

Over the years, the Han people like Fengzhou Bailian have also been severely transformed into barbarians. At the same time, they have also absorbed many poor Mongolian herdsmen on the grasslands and transformed them into Han people. Therefore, such a group has actually transformed into a group that is somewhere between nomadic and farming.

Although the armed group has a population of only tens of thousands, there are many strong men who can be mobilized to mount a fight.

According to various intelligence assessments, there are at least more than 10,000 people, and the combat effectiveness is really not bad. Both cavalry and infantry are of a certain level. They are much stronger than the White Lotus cultists in Han Dynasty.

.

In Feng Ziying's view, this group of troops can no longer be completely regarded as members of the White Lotus Sect. They have the characteristics of a border village rebellious army similar to Boyan Village and Baitang Village. When they enter, they serve the people and when they leave, they serve as soldiers.

.

If they gain support from the Tumuts and Ordos people, and there may even be other forces working together behind the scenes to launch an attack together, then the pressure on Xuanda will be greater.

Use the Zijin Liang tribe to attract Shanxi Town's border troops to go south and weaken Shanxi Town's defense at the border. Then the Tumutes and Fengzhou White Lotus invade the border, and even the internal White Lotus cultists will cooperate inside and outside. Feng Ziying shudders at the thought of this.

feeling. If this is the case, this game of chess is too big an operation. This is simply not the case.

It should not be run by a group of White Lotus believers.

It would be too difficult for the Merte people, the White Lotus Sect, and possibly even the Chahar people to unite. Perhaps Nurhachi had this ambition, but he couldn't do it by threading the needle and connecting all the parties.

Maybe there is also Jinling? Feng Ziying is not sure. At this time, he realized that after he left the capital, many information situations were not as well-informed and timely as before.

Whether it is Long Jinwei, or the various channels of the Ministry of War's Staff Department and Pingren Department, he is far away in Shaanxi, and it is difficult to contact him.

I also missed it, and the parties involved are not obligated to proactively inform you of these situations.

Do you really think that the governor of Shaanxi, who has been working so hard for you in Shaanxi, will not be able to function normally without you?

In the past year or so, I have indeed worked very smoothly in Shaanxi, and I have almost cleaned up the mess in Shaanxi. However, from another perspective, my influence in the center has also been weakened. I want to understand the overall situation and exert influence.

The role of has also been downplayed, which will become more obvious in the future.

I only know many things through correspondence with Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia, and Guan Yingzhen.

Moreover, it is very difficult to convince anyone with just a letter.

Just like the situation with the White Lotus Sect, although we and the others warned the Punishment Department and Shuntian Mansion before I left, and also specifically greeted Lieutenant Long, we haven't seen much results after more than a year.

The reconstruction of the third town of Xuanda is still difficult and the movement is slow.

What if I could still make suggestions for the imperial court from time to time in Beijing?

Even Zhang Huaichang can give advice himself, but after leaving the capital city, if you have to point fingers at many things, it will seem like you are stretching your hand too far.

Similarly, the imperial court seemed to be a little hesitant in dealing with the situation in Jiangnan and Wang Ziteng's Denglai army, which made Feng Ziying feel a little anxious.

But in his position, he really couldn't be too proactive.

I am already too arrogant now. I am a fourth-level official in my early twenties, and now I am the governor of Shaanxi Province. There have been several in the past, but there is no one in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Besides, the talent is amazing. Could it be that you, Feng Ziying, are the only one in the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Can one person do anything?

If you still interrupt everything, I'm afraid it will really arouse the hatred of many people.

Now Feng Ziying can only endure and wait, or in other words, she can only do her best in Shaanxi.

The summer harvest has begun. Although this year is not a good year, it is much better than last year. With the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes, we do not seek a bumper harvest, but we seek to completely stabilize the problem of hungry people in the disaster.

Feng Ziying felt that even if she succeeded, she would have a satisfactory explanation to the court.

All Feng Ziying could do was to write a letter to Zhang Huaichang of the Ministry of War, reminding him to immediately pay attention to the Tumut people, Ordos people and Fengzhou Bailian outside the border walls of Shanxi Town and Datong Town. At the same time, he also asked him to communicate with the Ministry of Punishment and Long Jinwei to pay attention

The activities of the White Lotus Sect in Northern Zhili and Shanxi are to prevent being caught off guard.

In fact, it doesn't stop there. The Chahar people outside the border wall of Ji Town in Xuanfu and the Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaodong may take this opportunity to launch an attack. However, it seems too general and lacks the focus.

The Har people and the Jianzhou Jurchens have always been the targets of precautions, but no one would care if they were reminded specifically at this time.

**********

When Zhang Huaichang received Feng Ziying's letter, he still took it seriously. After all, Feng Ziying could write to him specifically about this matter, which meant that there must be conclusive evidence.

"Fengzhou Bailian has a connection with our mainland Bailian. I remember that last year when Ziying was still in Shuntian Mansion, she negotiated with the Ministry of Punishment and Long Jinwei. The Ministry of Punishment should have an investigation team specifically for this matter, but later

There seems to be no news."

Zhang Huaichang motioned to Sun Chengzong, who had made a special trip to Beijing, to take a seat, "Zhisheng, what do you think?"

Currently, the post of left minister of the Ministry of War is vacant. It became vacant after Xu Dahua resigned, but there are three right ministers. Of course, these three are additional titles, so they are not subject to quantity restrictions.

One is Xiong Tingbi, who serves as the governor of Yunyang and is appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of War. The other is Feng Ziying, who serves as the governor of Shaanxi and is appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of War. The third one is Sun Chengzong, who serves as the right minister of the Ministry of War and leads the Northern Army Corps to garrison Shanhaiguan and Liaoxi.

This time Sun Chengzong came to Beijing, on the one hand to demand food and wages, and on the other hand Zhang Huaichang recruited him for discussion.

He was the only minister in such a large Ministry of War, and the candidates for the ministers had not yet been decided. Even he was a little anxious, but if the candidate was not a suitable candidate, Zhang Huaichang was not willing.

"Since Ziying wrote specifically, she must have noticed something." Sun Chengzong mused, stroking his beard, "The Feng Duan family is a wealthy family in the border area, and they have internal contacts with the Tumote and Chahar people. Fengzhou Bailian

Being on the territory of the Tumut people, it was impossible to avoid the Tumut people when taking any action. Ziying probably got some inside information through the Tumut people. Su Nang had always been dissatisfied with the court because of the dispute over the throne of Shunyi. If

It's normal to be bribed, and Chai Guozhu doesn't have many available troops at the moment, and some of them have been sent south, so we must guard against this."

Zhang Huaichang frowned: "But if Shanxi Town does not send troops, the rebellion in southern Shanxi will become even more rampant. Fenzhou and Qinzhou have already been invaded, which will be a crisis for Taiyuan. Shanxi reports three times a day, and the imperial court will not be able to take action now."

Over in Datong Town, Yang Yuan has also been complaining and refusing to send troops. The rope is in your hands..."

"Sir, you can certainly mobilize these tens of thousands of people from the Northern Front Army, but Ziying and I have the same concerns, we are afraid that this will be a long-term series of situations, Su Nang, Fengzhou Bailian, Chahar

The Jianzhou Jurchens, the White Lotus Sect and the Shanxi rebel army in the mainland are like an invisible thread strung together. This does not include the situation in the south. The northern front army is stationed in western Liaoning to guard against Nurhachi's troubles.

We kept writing letters saying that Cao Wenzhao acted recklessly and could not convince the public. If something happens in Liaodong, we have no reserve team."

Sun Chengzong expressed his worries. This time he came to talk to Zhang Huaichang about his worries about the situation in Liaodong.

Cao Wenzhao and Zhao Lijiao have reached the point where they are incompatible with each other. Zhao Lijiao has the support of Du Song, Liu Wei and other local military generals from Liaodong. Cao Wenzhao has become the commander-in-chief.

It's very difficult. If the internal strife and internal strife continue like this, once the Jianzhou Jurchens attack, it will be a big disaster.

Sun Chengzong hoped to persuade Zhang Huaichang to make internal adjustments in Liaodong Town as soon as possible before the situation worsened. Either Cao Wenzhao would be transferred away, or Zhao Lijiao, Du Song and other local warriors would be dispersed and transferred away.
