Chapter 2242 Gui Zi Scroll: Korea’s troubles, Jianzhou takes action
Baoqin and the others are back, but how can Qingwen's charming expression, which is almost watering, be hidden from the sharp-eyed Baoqin?
Although her facial expression remained unchanged, her gaze on Qingwen became much colder.
On the other hand, Sanjie You covered her mouth and kept chuckling. She knew that Feng Ziying was going to suffer again tonight, and if she didn't squeeze Feng Ziying dry, there was no way she would get through.
Qingwen was not afraid either.
This is not considered stealing. After being picked up from Kaifeng Mansion, Baoqin stayed with her almost every night. Sanjie You and she had nothing to do with each other. Even though she was just a common-room girl, she was also the eldest daughter-in-law.
, it would be too much to eat all the food in the second room when the person in the third room is not there. Even if you eat it secretly, so what?
She has already offended her second wife. After returning to Beijing, she doesn’t need to look at anyone else’s face. All she needs to do is take good care of her eldest grandma. If she really gets pregnant today and is pregnant with a boy and a half girl, then Qingwen thinks
Everything is worth it.
Feng Ziying also saw this situation, but he turned a blind eye. Hou Wei's affairs were naturally handled by Hou Wei himself. It would be unsightly for him to interfere.
Just as he was thinking about how to resolve the embarrassment in front of him, he saw Wu Yaoqing flashing in front of the cabin.
Wang Wenyan returned to Beijing early, leaving Wu Yaoqing behind.
The reason for returning to Beijing early was to prepare for a rainy day and prepare early for Feng Ziying's arrival in Beijing. He could not collect relevant intelligence information after arriving in Beijing, as that would be too passive.
Wu Yaoqing follows Feng Ziying. He not only has to bear the responsibility of intelligence communication, but also has to shoulder the task of arranging his personal escort. "Yaoqing, what's the matter?"
"Well, I have something to report." Wu Yaoqing nodded, holding a piece of letter paper in his hand.
Feng Ziying said yes and went straight in. Wu Yaoqing also followed. Baoqin and Qingwen both knew that something serious was going on, so they also calmed down and stopped talking.
Entering the middle section of the cabin, this is where Feng Ziying usually used to read and rest. It is equivalent to a mobile study room, where she also handles business.
"The Chahar people have moved, and the Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaodong are also mobilizing troops. It is said that the scale is quite large." Wu Yaoqing lowered his voice, "The Jianzhou Jurchens also put pressure on North Korea, asking North Korea to provide food and wives.
There are still 5,000 troops to be sent, but North Korea is still hesitant and has not yet made a formal reply."
Feng Ziying frowned. Nurhachi was going to force even the Koreans to send troops?
Although after the loss of Kuandian Liubao, the Jianzhou Jurchens began to gradually replace the Zhou Dynasty as the protector of North Korea and dictated to North Korea, but after all, North Korea was also a country with a complete political, military and local government system. The Jianzhou Jurchens were not like that
It is possible to threaten North Korea with its strength, and it can even defeat North Korea, but it is a joke to say that it can destroy North Korea in one fell swoop.
Jurchens in Jianzhou usually come to North Korea for food and wives. This was the case when Feng Tang was still in Liaodong. Although Zhou Dynasty repeatedly warned North Korea not to allow it to provide food, fodder and manpower to Jurchens in Jianzhou, people had no choice but to live under the roof.
Bow down, North Korea is very realistic and still quietly provides food and grass to the Jianzhou Jurchens. It just often discounts the amount proposed by the Jianzhou Jurchens.
But now it is asking North Korea to cooperate in sending troops. This is the first time I have heard of it. This is a not good sign.
If even North Korea dared to send troops to cooperate with the Jianzhou Jurchens to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty, then Liaodong Town would have been weak in Nurhaci's mind, which meant that the Jianzhou Jurchens would be more likely to launch an attack on Liaodong.
"Didn't the imperial court take any action and let Nurhachi threaten to blackmail North Korea? What's North Korea's attitude? Did they send an envoy to the capital?" Feng Ziying calmed down.
"North Korea has sent an envoy to the capital, mainly to explain North Korea's current difficulties and to ask for Zhou's understanding." Wu Yaoqing also looked serious, "But it seems that the North Koreans will continue to offer discounts to satisfy the Jianzhou Jurchens as they did in the past.
The request was made, but the discount was also used to send troops, so the temperament is completely different."
"North Korea must not be allowed to send troops, not even one soldier!" Feng Ziying clapped her hands violently, with a cold face, "No matter what means are used, we must resolutely stop North Korea's abnormal actions, otherwise others will follow suit.
Then it’s out of control!”
Although North Korea is nothing in the mind of Zhou Dynasty, it is
A farming country similar to the Zhou Dynasty was complementary to Jianzhou Nuzhen.
Once the Jianzhou Jurchens are pulled on board, their effect on the Jianzhou Jurchens will be increasingly greater.
In particular, providing food and wives can greatly free the Jurchens from the situation of labor and food shortage, allowing them to launch attacks on the Zhou Dynasty more focused.
And if Nurhaci is more generous and gives some spoils to North Korea after winning, and at the same time makes North Korea feel the weakness of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then with North Korea's current mentality, it is definitely possible to become a pawn of the Jianzhou Jurchen.
"But sir, what can we do now?" Wu Yaoqing also found it difficult.
Feng Ziying paced around the cabin twice before saying in a deep voice: "Ask Shen Yourong's Denglai naval fleet to dispatch and go around Seoul.
First control Phi Island and its surrounding islands, and if possible, ask to borrow Jeju Island!"
Wu Yaoqing was taken aback, "The subordinates of Pi Dao know that stationing on Pi Dao near Tieshan can deter North Korea, but asking to borrow Jeju Island is going the other way. North Korea will think that we are bullying and provoking."
"If they can't feel pain and pressure, they will continue to provide food and wives to the Jianzhou Jurchens, even more and more! Look, it has developed to the point where the Jianzhou Jurchens want them to send troops, but they actually
It is simply unreasonable to come to the court to ask for understanding! This is the result of indulgence! So now we can only retaliate in kind. If only viciousness can make them obey orders, then we will not hesitate to do so. The Jurchens' swords are sharp.
, our firecrackers and artillery can devour everything."
Feng Ziying's gnashing of teeth shocked Wu Yaoqing.
He had rarely seen Feng Ziying so angry. Although he had gone through a lot in fighting the chaos in Shaanxi for more than a year, Feng Ziying had always maintained a graceful and calm attitude. But today, because of this matter, Feng Ziying was so furious.
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that asking for Jeju Island is just a gesture, and forcing North Korea to refuse the Jurchen statehood is the purpose?" Wu Yaoqing understood.
"Not necessarily. Jeju Island is also an important base for deterring Japan and future expansion of Ezo and Kuwu. If it can be borrowed or occupied, it will be of great significance." Feng Ziying shook her head, "But now the court is not able to do that.
One step, what we have to do now is to force North Korea and the Jianzhou Jurchens to draw a clear line step by step. Perhaps in the next step, by borrowing Pidao, our navy can go deep along the Yalu River and go from Yizhou to stab Nurhachi in the back.
Don’t think that they can sit back and relax after taking over Kuandian Sixth Fort. Sooner or later we will get Kuandian Sixth Fort back!”
Feng Ziying's words already sounded like a minister of the Ministry of War. Wu Yaoqing also felt excited after hearing this. It is interesting to follow such a boss. It is a man's job to open up territories and expand territory. In comparison, quelling chaos is just a piece of work.
It's a pity that the imperial court is still trapped in internal and external troubles. If it can resolve the Nanjing issue as soon as possible and concentrate on dealing with the Mongols and Jurchens, then it will be worth the effort.
"Forget it, it's useless to say this now. We have to mobilize Shen Yourong and Denglai Navy to go to North Korea to demonstrate, and we have to report to Mr. Zhang and the cabinet after returning to Beijing. But if we don't do this, we will definitely not be able to stop North Korea, so this
North Korea must be beaten with a stick." Feng Ziying waved her hand, "Write this down and deal with it first thing after returning to Beijing."
Wu Yaoqing nodded, "There is also news that a section of Wang Ziteng's Denglai Army has crossed the Yangtze River in Songyang and entered Anqing Prefecture. There are about 30,000 troops."
Feng Ziying thought for a while, "Wang Ziteng expected that Xiong Tingbi would not be able to march into Jiangxi now, so bold,"
"The Denglai Army has more than 80,000 people, and 30,000 people are divided into 50,000 people. Xiong Tingbi's Jingxiang Town has only more than 60,000 people in total, and the reorganized guards in Sichuan do not exceed 100,000.
"People, now the Anshe family in Sichuan and Guizhou are still fighting stubbornly. I guess the war in Sichuan and Guizhou may not end before the end of this year." Wu Yaoqing frowned, "It's not that Xiong Tingbi is the most knowledgeable among the civil servants.
What? He and Sun Chengzong are known as the twins in the late Yuanxi period. How come they fought so hard in the battle to pacify Sichuan?
Tangled?"
Feng Ziying glared at Wu Yaoqing, "Brother Fei Bai still has some abilities. He, Brother Zhisheng, and Brother Liqing are the few civil servants who know how to fight. However, the geography and climate in Sichuan and Guizhou are different from those in the north and Jiangnan. Let's change it."
People may not be as good as Brother Feibai. We all stand and talk without feeling back pain. If we really want to go, we will sit on the wax, and we have to be more patient. If someone urges us, there will be trouble.
"
Wu Yaoqing didn't seem to believe it, "If your Excellency goes, I believe that I will succeed immediately and win the victory."
"Okay, don't flatter me. I know myself. I'm not sure about the war in Sichuan. The mountains and rivers are dangerous. Yang Wenruo's father, Yang He, has been away for so long and has been bruised and bruised. Why don't you come back dejected?"
Feng Ziying smiled and shook her head, "Wang Ziteng's Denglai army entered Anqing, and my father's side was in a tight spot. Wang Ziteng still has a good way of training troops, but..."
Feng Ziying stopped talking. It was hard for him to say whether his father, Niu Jizong, and Sun Shaozu were in a tacit understanding. It was a pity that when he passed through Henan, it was too far away from Nanzhili, so it was difficult to contact him, and some words
If you don’t feel comfortable saying it in the letter, just let it go.
However, after arriving in Beijing, Feng Ziying felt that she could figure out a rough idea after considering various intelligence sources.
