Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't even laugh or cry, "Dad, where are you thinking? Has your son ever been such a person?"
"Humph, what kind of temperament do you have? Doesn't my father know? When I was in Datong, I would ask my aunt in Datong all the time where she could go and what it meant to live in the same family. How old were you then? Your mother almost killed you.
It was peeled..."
Feng Tang had a look on his son's face, and he was also somewhat relieved to see his son grow up.
"Now that you are older, dad will naturally not care about you anymore. It's okay that the two daughters of the You family are Hu daughters, but what does it mean for you to be raised outside? Don't you have a few girls in your house who were given to you by the Jia family?
Isn’t that enough for you?”
Feng Ziying was speechless. What impression did he have of those scenes when he was in Datong?
I was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, how could I understand these things? I was already in Linqing when I traveled back in time, so how did I know that I was so miserable at the same time?
What kind of Datong aunts, who live in the same family, even I have never tasted it now? Yangzhou Shou Ma is so famous, how many businessmen wanted to give me two warm beds, but I flatly rejected them. Why is it that no one cares about such things?
Why does my father remember so clearly what happened when I was a child, yet my impression of him becomes so bad?
"Dad, no, I..."
"Okay, Ziying, there's no need to explain. Dad didn't say anything to you. You are seventeen years old and it's time for you to get married. When dad came back, he had already sent a letter to the Shen family. Your marriage will be scheduled for
At the end of the year, the Lin family can only wait until the filial piety period has passed, which is more than two years. The girls in the Lin family are about the same age. Your mother said that the Lin family also has a daughter from a concubine who seems to be fertile and should be married off together.
?”
Feng Tang waved his hand, obviously not wanting to hear Feng Ziying's explanation anymore. Feng Ziying was also helpless, "Yes, but..."
"Well, let's set your wedding date first. Your mother is also anxious, and so is your father. Maybe my father will not be able to come back if he goes back to Liaodong. You have to let your father hold his grandson so that he can rest in peace." Feng
Tang Jingran sighed, "If that doesn't work, you can get the two daughters of the You family back, or spend some time on your girl in your house, and seize the time to give birth to a son. Your father will feel at ease even in Liaodong."
"Dad, how can it be so unbearable?" Feng Ziying said in a deep voice: "The situation in Liaodong is certainly dangerous, but it is not without room for improvement. My son always feels that as long as the Zhou Dynasty can concentrate its power, it is definitely not something that the Jurchen Mongols outside the Pass can do anything about."
"Hmph, do you think you are the only one who is great and Li Chengliang is stupid?" Feng Tang shook his head.
"Dad, at the time of Li Chengliang, the Emperor's mind was not in Liaodong at all. In addition, Li Chengliang also had some problems himself, which led to the current situation. But now the Emperor has seen this situation. As long as we can gather our strength and prevent Li Chengliang from
The Jurchens in the state have unified all the Jurchen tribes, and the world outside the pass is still our Zhou Dynasty..."
Feng Tang glanced at Feng Ziying and said, "Well, the current emperor is indeed wise, but the emperor is already over fifty, and his health is not very good. What about the next one, what if he is also like the Supreme Emperor?"
These words were too heartbreaking, but Feng Tang didn't care. There were only two of him and his son, and since he had decided to go to Liaodong, he had to make many things clear to his son, and he could no longer hide his head and tail like before.
"Dad, my son feels that your reluctance to go to Liaodong is not entirely due to the situation in Liaodong, right?" Feng Ziying asked slowly: "Do you have any other concerns?"
Feng Tang was happy that his son had grown up, and some of his political acumen had begun to slowly emerge.
"Well, Ziying, you are right. Dad does have some other concerns, which are not entirely due to the Jurchens." Feng Tang raised his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and then said after a while: "What do you think?
What is the current situation of the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor?"
"Your Majesty and Your Majesty?" Feng Ziying was startled for a moment, then she seemed to be trying to figure out something, and then she said thoughtfully, "Are you worried that there will be some internal problems in our Da Zhou?"
"Ziying, I remember that during the battle between the generals of the five military camps, you once told my father..." Feng Tang seemed to be lost in memories, "Actually, you should have felt something at that time, yes,
My father would rather go to that corner of Yulin and serve as the general soldier than stay in the capital city. The position of general of the fifth military camp is even more unacceptable..."
"So dad actually doesn't want to go to Liaodong because he is worried about getting involved in the dispute between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor? The position of General of the Fifth Army Camp, well, Chen Jixian, my son knows and understands it, but how can Liaodong be involved?" Feng Ziying
Somewhat puzzled.
"Hmph, it would be fine if you really asked your father to be the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town, but this is asking your father to be the governor-general of Jiliao!" Feng Tang sneered, "Chen Jingxuan was originally the commander-in-chief of Jizhen Town, no matter how you look at it, it will be his turn.
It might not be a happy thing until he becomes the Governor of the Three Sides, or it might not be a happy thing for General Li Ji Zhen to become the Governor of the Three Sides, but instead of him becoming the Governor of the Three Sides, don't you think it's strange?"
This was beyond Feng Ziying's understanding. After all, it was difficult for him to understand the mystery of this kind of adjustment of generals in the army.
"Dad, do you mean that it is not normal for Chen Jingxuan to serve as the governor of the three sides?" Feng Ziying frowned.
"Chen Jingxuan is not a martial artist of the same generation as our ancestors. Their family was only established in his father's generation during the Tianping period, so he has nothing to do with the martial arts of the Four Kings, Eight Dukes, Twelve Marquises, or even those of us who followed Taizu to conquer the world.
, so it’s hard to say, but at least it has nothing to do with the Supreme Emperor. Logically speaking, the Emperor should reuse him..."
Feng Tang's voice was a little dull, "Ziying, the position of Chief Soldier of Jizhen is too special. When Chen Jingxuan left, this position became vacant, but the Ministry of War did not appoint a new Chief Soldier. What do you mean by this?"
"The location is special?" Feng Ziying came back to her senses, "Are you saying that like the Xuanfu General Soldier, it is too close to the capital city?"
Taking a deep breath, Feng Tang nodded thoughtfully: "Jizhen is the backing of Liaodong. There are nearly 20,000 elite troops stationed in each of its guard towns. This place can not only respond to Liaodong, but also reinforce western Liaoning. It is a strategic military base.
The land is no less than the Xuanfu."
"What do you want to say?" Feng Ziying was a little confused.
"Ziying, you should also be able to see that although the great Zhou Dynasty used civil servants to control the military, once the situation got worse, the civil servants would be unable to control the situation. After all, all the civil servants who had been on the battlefield had withered and there were only two left, and this
The position of Commander-in-Chief is an important position in the Zhou Army that directly controls military power. It can be said that its importance is even more important than that of the Governor. The soldiers in each town may not know the Governor or the Ministry of War, but no one does not know their own Commander-in-Chief.
To transfer troops, you have to pass the test of the chief soldier." Feng Tang Youyou said: "But now the chief soldier of Ji Town is actually vacant. Do you think this is weird?"
Feng Ziying hesitated for a while before saying: "Could it be that I want you to serve as the commander-in-chief of Jizhen?"
"Hmph, how could your father also serve as the commander-in-chief of the two towns? If your father doesn't concurrently serve as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, how can he be the governor of Jiliao?" Feng Tang said angrily.
"Then this General Soldier of Ji Town..." Feng Ziying roughly understood the meaning.
Chen Jingxuan was transferred at this time, and it seemed that he was promoted. But what does it mean to be transferred at such a critical time? It means that the emperor is not worried about Chen Jingxuan!
But wasn't Chen Jingxuan promoted by the emperor? Without Emperor Yonglong's support, how could he have been promoted from the chief water transport officer to the important position of chief officer of Jizhen?
How many soldiers are under the control of the Water Transport Chief, and how many soldiers are under the control of the Jizhen Chief?
If you don't trust such a promotion, how can you be entrusted with such a heavy responsibility? But now he has suddenly been transferred to another position, and he would rather leave the chief military officer vacant.
"You know people but don't know their hearts, Ziying, who can tell clearly under the interests?" Feng Tang sighed, "The problem is that this has posed a problem for my father. There is a vacancy in the general army of Ji Town. How close is it?
More than 20,000 troops are divided into a few subordinates. When I take office, do you think I should make adjustments or not make adjustments? If you want to make adjustments, your father and I are not familiar with each other, so who should we believe?"
"Dad, there's no rush, just take your time." Feng Ziying could only explain. He didn't know anything about the situation of the generals in the army, so naturally he couldn't make any suggestions.
"Take your time?" Feng Tang glanced at Feng Ziying, "I also want to take my time. Give me two or three years, and I can naturally adjust slowly. But what if they don't give me two or three years?
"
Feng Ziying's heart tightened.
He naturally knew who the "they" his father was referring to could be the Supreme Emperor, Prince Yi Zhong, or even the Emperor. If he was not careful, he would be trying to hide his power, and if he was not careful, he would destroy his family and his clan.
What a disaster.
This kind of battle for the right to inherit the throne is even more dangerous than facing the Jianzhou Jurchens. No wonder my father is so nervous and has a headache and is unwilling to come to Liaodong.
It's great to be the governor of the three sides, but it will never be the turn of the Gansu, Ningxia, Guyuan and Yulin troops. When the troops of these four towns really have to be mobilized, the situation will probably be even crazier than during the "Jingnan Campaign" in the previous Ming Dynasty.
"Moreover, how many of the deputy generals, generals and garrison officers in Liaodong Town and Ji Town are not from Wuxun? As the same saying goes, knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, until the most critical moment, who can?
Can you tell the difference between loyal and traitor clearly? Who can I trust?" Feng Tang hit the table with his palm, "So I told Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke that it's okay for me to go to Liaodong, I want my people."
Only then did Feng Ziying realize that her father was trying to make progress by retreating.
"What do you mean by Ji Zhen..." Feng Ziying was also a little nervous.
"Ziying, didn't I ask you before, who do you think has a better chance, the Supreme Emperor or the Emperor?" Feng Tang Youyou said: "Don't mix personal feelings. I know the Emperor values you very much, but as long as our Feng family does not fall,
, whoever is this emperor will also value you, but we made a mistake, he is favoring and valuing you, and even he himself cannot protect himself, who can control our family? "
Feng Ziying felt a chill in her heart. Looking at her father's expressionless face, maybe this was the true side of her father?
