Chapter 69: The confusion brought about by changes
Wu Di left with a lot of worries on his mind. When he came he was high-spirited and high-spirited, but when he left he was sad and worried.
Feng Ziying was also helpless. Who told you that you are from Nanzhili? Among the Jiangnan scholars who are closely related to you, it seems that you, Wu Zong, are the only one who can take advantage of you.
Not just one family can accomplish such a big thing, and it will definitely be opposed by the northern scholars. Feng Ziying is not willing to suffer the collective hostility of the northern scholars at this time. She may have to let herself go.
He has become another little Li Sancai.
Li Sancai's family has a solid foundation, deep qualifications, and the help of Jiangnan scholars, so he can naturally bear the reputation of a traitor without fear, but with his small arms and legs, his actions even Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia have some doubts, and they will not listen anymore
If you say hello, I'm afraid you will be suppressed or even abandoned.
Feng Ziying can't bear it now.
So she not only had to communicate through Wu Zong, but Feng Ziying also needed to communicate with Xu Xie, who was already somewhat estranged.
In the end, it is only reasonable for the southern scholars to take action on things like this. How can northern scholars like myself be used as cannon fodder?
Of course, the scholars in Huguang can also add fuel to the flames. Guan Yingzhen is profitable, so he is expected to lend a helping hand secretly.
It's just that this kind of thing can never be accomplished overnight in Dazhou, and this will be a very complicated and arduous tug-of-war process.
*******
Three alleys.
"Dudududu" the knock on the door rang, and it took a while before a suspicious voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
"It's me." A young man in front said impatiently.
"Second Master?" The black-painted door of a house deep in the alley opened with a creak, and a group of people poured out. Then they looked around, their faces full of vigilance and surprise.
"Why are you here in person?" A middle-aged man in a long shirt slightly cupped his hand and said, "Second Master, come in quickly."
The four people entered the house quietly.
After entering the courtyard, two personal guards went up to the wall and stood behind the door.
"Why did you come here?" Daishan got on the kang impatiently and took off the hat on his head. It felt uncomfortable.
"Long Jinwei is keeping a close eye on us, and we'll keep him there, but if we want to make contact, we have to go around it first. We've also set up several other points to facilitate movement. Second Master, how dare you personally do it yourself?"
Are you in danger?" The middle-aged man spoke with a fluent Beijing accent. Anyone who listened with his eyes closed would feel that he was an authentic Beijing native.
Daishan also speaks good Mandarin, but his Liaodong accent is still very strong.
"Netu, are these Dragon Guards so afraid of you guys now?" Daishan's contemptuous expression was evident, and he took off his short shirt.
Although autumn is already here, he is still not used to it after spending a long time wallowing in the forests and grasslands of the White Mountains and black waters.
"The second master is joking. They are afraid of the sweat outside the customs." The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled: "But why did the second master suddenly come to the capital, can't you ask someone to carry the letter? What if something happens?
Son……"
"How can it be so dangerous? Dazhou hasn't completely broken up with us yet? After all, the Great Khan is still the commander of Jianzhou Left Guard." Daishan waved his hands impatiently, but suddenly thought of something, and his face was full of confusion.
Dark clouds arose, "But I saw quickly. The commander of Jianzhou Right Guards was given to Shuerhaqi. Li Chengliang, an old dog, was still disgusting before he left. Shuerhaqi and his son, huh..."
Daishan didn't say any more, but Netu knew the cold meaning hidden behind the word hum.
"Second Master, the war in Ula is raging, why did you come to the capital, but what's the important matter?" Netu also knew that this Second Master came to the capital for a purpose, and at that moment the Great Khan said to the Ula tribe
The offensive was in full swing, and Bu Zhantai was about to be unable to withstand it. Why did this capable general in front of the Khan quietly come to the capital city with ease and simplicity?
Daishan's face darkened and he didn't speak for a long time. He waved his hand and everyone else retreated, leaving only him and Netu.
"The war against the Ula tribe has been suspended." Daishan said bitterly.
"Stop?" Netu stood up suddenly, his face full of anger, "How could it stop? This is a critical moment, what is Khan thinking? Li Chengliang just left, and Feng Tang just took office, not even a year
He couldn't even think of commanding the people in Liaodong Town for half a year, and they wouldn't listen to him. How many people did he bring to take office? Does he still dare to pull out all the people he has? "
Daishan sighed secretly when he saw Netu being so excited.
Who doesn’t know that it’s just the most critical moment? Once the Ula tribe is solved, within two or three years, a bunch of scattered Jurchens from the East China Sea can be included in the bag, and the Ula tribe of the Haixi Jurchens is the door to the Jurchens from the East China Sea. If you don’t open this
Daomen, don't even think about plotting against the Jurchens of the East China Sea.
"Netu, sit down, do you think the Great Khan is willing?" Daishan was also a little unable to hold back.
If it were his temperament, he would never accept Da Zhou's intimidation. He would have been used to seeing these guys being fierce and evil. Li Chengliang was so awesome. In the last few years, he could only do some tricks that didn't make him stand out.
.
Of course, it must be admitted that these methods still caused a lot of trouble to the Great Khan, but Daishan believed that it was impossible to stop the Jianzhou Jurchens from unifying the entire Jurchens.
The problem is that this time the situation is a little different, and even the Great Khan feels it is abnormal. The new governor of Jiliao and the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town has very unusual methods, and his attitude is also different from before.
As soon as they arrived, they summoned Shuerhaqi and his son with great fanfare, which even made it easy for the Great Khan to stop him. He made it clear that this was what the Emperor of Zhou wanted to give to Jianzhou Right Guard. This made Shuerhaqi, who had already died down,
Qi and his son immediately felt relieved again. It turned out that the tribesmen who had become increasingly alienated from Shuerhaqi and his son began to gather around Shuerhaqi and his son again. This made the Great Khan furious.
This alone is enough. Daishan also believes that his father Khan has the ability to handle this matter. No matter how brave Shuerhaqi and his son are, there are only so many people under him. The righteousness lies with his father Khan.
No matter how much he tries, he can't come up with much tricks. Even if Da Zhou is behind it, it's just ringworm and scabies.
The problem is that if Zhou wanted to intervene in the affairs of the Haixi Jurchens or even the Mongols, it would not be that simple.
"Then what are you waiting for? Get rid of Bu Zhantai in one go. With Bu Zhantai's temperament, as long as he is taken down, the Ula tribe will never be able to make trouble." Netu couldn't wait to roar, "Second Master, you
Didn’t you give advice to the Great Khan?”
Daishan didn't expect Netu to be so anxious, and frowned, "Netu, you think we don't want to? But how can it be that simple? The new Governor of Jiliao is not simple!"
"Oh?" Netu glanced at Daishan suspiciously, "Second Master, what else can Feng Tang do? Did he really personally send troops to intervene in our encirclement and suppression of the Ula tribe? Impossible! These are all the border commanders of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Likewise, if you are accustomed to conserving your own strength, how could you just push your troops onto the battlefield?"
"Of course he won't go, but what about Ye Hebu?" Daishan asked with a cold face.
"Ye He tribe? Are they tired of living? Jin Taiji is so cowardly?" Netu didn't believe it, "Is it Buyangu?"
Daishan nodded, "Buyangu led troops to reinforce the Ula tribe and threaten our rear."
Netu shook his head repeatedly, "Second Master, who are you fooling? How many soldiers are there in Yehe's tribe? Do they still dare to go out in full force? Is the Great Khan still afraid of Yehe's gang of fishes in the cauldron? Horqin
As for people, now is the time for them to show their abilities."
Netu had stayed in the Han region for twenty years and had already learned Mandarin vividly. He spent most of his time in theaters and teahouses, and he picked up all the Mandarin idioms at his fingertips.
Daishan's face turned even more ugly, and he said after a long time: "As soon as the new Governor of Jiliao took office, he sent an envoy to the Chahar people. Lindan Batur received thousands of firecrackers from the Governor of Jiliao, and then sent troops to suppress the Horqin people, and
Governor Ji Liao also sent an envoy to the Horqin tribe, asking the Horqin people to immediately cut off all contact with us. Netu, you have never said before that this Feng Tang has such skill!"
Netu's face turned red, but he couldn't answer for a while.
Before Feng Tang became the governor of Jiliao, Netu really didn't pay much attention to the former Yulin commander-in-chief. Later, he only heard that this guy might serve as the governor of the three sides.
The northwest was too far away from the Jurchens to have much to do with it. Instead, it was said that Wang Ziteng and Chen Jingxuan might serve as governors of Jiliao, so he focused his attention on these two people. Unexpectedly, the final result was Feng Tang.
Suddenly he was appointed governor of Jiliao.
At that time, he also spent some energy to inquire about Feng Tang's situation. He only knew that the Feng family had been working in Datong for a long time, and his performance was not particularly outstanding. He even felt that he was a bit mediocre and timid. Even in the fight against rebellion in Western Xinjiang,
He also followed Chai Ke, the right minister of the Ministry of War, and did not see any amazing battle performance. Perhaps the only thing worth noting is that Feng Tang had a very good relationship with various Mongolian tribes, whether it was Chaha
The Er people are also the Tumut people, and the Ordos people have close contact with them, especially the Tumut people.
"Second Master, Feng Tang did not have any other dazzling performance before. Except for his close relationship with the Mongolians, there is nothing else that can be seen. He even feels mediocre and incompetent." Netu said in a deep voice: "Even if he and the Mongolians
We have good relations with the Chahar people, but how can the Chahar people listen to him? You said that he gave Lindan Batur the fire blunderbuss, so he was not afraid that the emperor would chop off his head?"
"This is the question I should ask you!" Daishan yelled at Netu rudely: "How dare he, the governor of Jiliao, give firecrackers to the Mongols?
What was the forbidden captain doing? And not only did he give gifts to everyone in Chahar, he also gave a lot to the Yehe tribe! The Great Khan was furious and asked why we knew nothing about all the actions of this man and beat us
He was caught off guard, so the war against the Ula tribe had to be suspended!"
Beads of sweat broke out on Netu's forehead, and he couldn't answer this question.
According to his understanding, newly-appointed border governors like Feng Tang have to hide their capabilities and bide their time for a year and a half. Their main focus should be on how to win over the military chiefs in Liaodong Town. How could they be so successful right away?
Such a big move?
Guns of fire are important military weapons. The Zhou Dynasty itself did not have much equipment, so why would it give them to the Mongols and the Yehe tribe in such a large amount?
On the other hand, it was expected to win over Shuerhaqi and his son, but it was just a continuation of Li Chengliang's old method.
But for daring to threaten the Horqin people, Feng Tang is very courageous.
You must know that the Horqin people are separated from the Zhou Dynasty by the Yehe tribe, and they belong to the Mongolian left wing and have nothing to do with the Zhou Dynasty. How dare he threaten them so blatantly?
According to the investigation, it seemed that this person had such great courage and determination that he could not be found in Yulin and Datong before.
This also puzzled Netu.
"Then what should we do now?" Netu couldn't answer this question, and his momentum also weakened. "According to Feng Tang's attitude, he must have received the instructions from the Zhou court to dare to do this. He was just a border governor.
, it is absolutely impossible for him to act so boldly."
"We won't discuss this issue anymore. Now we have to understand why the Zhou Dynasty's attitude towards our Jianzhou Jurchens suddenly changed. Although they used various means to contain us in the past, they never formally broke up with us. Now, although they
I don’t admit to breaking up, but in the eyes of the Great Khan, all these measures are preparations for breaking up. He threatened Horqin to sever ties with us and supported the Yehe tribe. The next step is to directly send troops to intervene in our war against the Ula tribe.
?" Daishan said in a bad tone, "That's why the Great Khan sent me to the capital to find out the true attitude of Great Zhou towards us and why these changes have occurred."
Netu took a deep breath and said, "Second Master, I remember that I brought a letter back, saying that someone from Ye He's tribe once came to the capital and may have come into contact with officials of the Zhou Dynasty. I wonder if it is related to this?"
"The Great Khan knew about this, but just because a few people from the Yehe tribe came to beg for help, do you think the Great Zhou Dynasty would change its tune and change its attitude towards us?" Daishan shook his head, "In the past, the Huifa tribe, the Hada tribe, and even the Ula tribe
Didn't anyone come to the capital to complain to the Great Zhou Dynasty? Did the Great Zhou Dynasty pay attention to them? It's not that simple. There must be some reason here. The Great Khan is worried that there may be a group of ministers in the Great Zhou Dynasty who are hostile to our Jurchens and are joining forces."
"Is it possible that Dazhou is still friendly to us?" Netu disagreed.
"Netu, what the Great Khan means is that although the Great Zhou is hostile to us, they are more afraid of us. When fear overwhelms hostility, they will only hesitate and hesitate, and will not offend us easily. But now our feeling is that they are hostile to us.
Our hostility overwhelms fear, so they take action, and they do it several times. We must understand where their confidence comes from, and whether someone is pushing them to change their policy attitude towards us!"
Every word and every word of kindness is authentic.
