Just when Second Sister You, Jin Chuan'er, Xiangling and their entourage were about to arrive in Lulong County, Yuanyang was already full of worries and set off from the capital city to Yongping Prefecture.
However, Feng Ziying was not in Lulong City at this time, but had already arrived at Santun Camp.
Santunying is the location of Ji Town's General Military Mansion. It was originally a small place that was not even a small market town. However, due to its important geographical location, it has gradually developed into a large-scale town, and there are also a large number of surrounding areas surrounding the town.
Households and refugees gathered together and quickly formed a market town that thrived on the military, served by the Jizhen General Military Office and its mobile guerrilla troops.
The General Military Mansion of Ji Town was moved from Sizi Valley to Santunying during the Ming Dynasty of the former Ming Dynasty. It was more than a hundred years ago. The Great Zhou Dynasty followed the pattern of the former Ming Dynasty without making major adjustments. However, in
During the Guangyuan period, as the threat from Chahar increased day by day, Zhou Dynasty began to establish the Left Guerrilla Office and the Right Guerrilla Office in Santunying Town. Later, during the Yuanxi period, the former Guerrilla Office was established.
In the 28th year of Yuanxi Dynasty, in view of the large number of soldiers in the town and its increasingly narrow area, the then general soldier of Ji Town demolished the south wall of the old city, expanded it outwards, and expanded the Santun Camp on a large scale.
The current layout was established.
In addition to the Ji Town General Military Mansion here, there are also three guerrilla battalions stationed here as mobile emergency forces to respond to the various roads along the border wall in Ji Town.
Feng Ziying took office as the magistrate of Yongping Prefecture. In addition to reaching an agreement with Zhu Zhiren and gaining his approval and support, Feng Ziying also laid the foundation for her future work in Yongping Prefecture.
But gaining Zhu Zhiren's support is only the first step. If you really want to do good things in Yongping Prefecture and turn Yongping Prefecture into your ideal base, you can't just rely on some personal connections or the support of the prefect.
He has to show some decent skills to be recognized and impressed by his superiors, colleagues and subordinates, including Zhu Zhiren. Only in this way can he be able to command the land in the future.
Zhu Zhiren has already announced in the government that Tongzhi Feng Keng will be responsible for the Qing army, coastal defense, and public security affairs. This is also the proper intention.
The responsibilities of co-prefects in various prefectures in the Great Zhou Dynasty are different. Basically, it depends on the degree of trust of the prefect to determine the affairs they are in charge of. Judging from Zhu Zhiren's arrangement of Feng Ziying's work affairs, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Like some places where the prefect has deep trust in the prefect.
Trusted colleagues will be responsible for the Qing army, defense, and public security, as well as finance and taxation (except for land tax).
In addition to land taxes, local taxes in the Zhou Dynasty also included mineral taxes, commercial taxes, and miscellaneous taxes. Salt taxes were levied by people directly managed by the court. Local governments had no right to intervene. For example, the salt department of Yongping Prefecture was the chief
The Ludu Salt Transportation Department was in charge, and the mining tax was turned over to the Ministry of Industry and Technology's Jieshen Treasury. It was the main income of the emperor's inner treasury, so it was out of reach.
However, a considerable part of commercial taxes (customs duties, city taxes) and miscellaneous taxes will be retained, so in a sense, this is actually each government's own small treasury. The size of this revenue will directly determine the daily expenses of the government office.
, and even includes some hidden benefits, so Tongzhi cannot get involved in this work unless he is trusted by the government.
For Feng Ziying, he has no time to take care of finance and taxation for the time being. As a colleague of the Qing army, it is his top priority to coordinate the relationship with Jizhen and solve the problem of public security in Yongping Prefecture at the same time.
The key to whether Yongping Mansion can gain a firm foothold.
You Shigong had already prepared for Feng Ziying's visit. As the new commander-in-chief of Jizhen, he also had a good understanding of the current situation in Yongping Mansion, and even knew Feng Ziying's intention.
"Ziying, the disharmony between the army and the land is not something that happened in a day or two. I have only taken over Ji Town for a short time. The Governor has ordered me to make some adjustments to the military situation in Ji Town, but it has not been completed yet.
, Lao San also told me when he came back a few days ago. I guess you also know that the Chahar people are ready to make a move, and Brother Yu is also under a lot of pressure..."
【Get Cash Red Envelopes】You can get cash by reading books! Follow WeChat. Official account【Good Articles on Investment】, cash/point coins are waiting for you!
You Shigong is a short, but very strong man, with the roughness and savagery from the northwest wind and sand still remaining in his brows, but Feng Tang can rest assured that he can be placed in the position of the commander-in-chief of Jizhen. Naturally,
He is also a trustworthy person.
The two of them were sitting in the hall talking, and there were no other people around.
"Brother You, even if Lin Dan Batur comes to the south, it will still be a few months away. You can apply to my father to supplement the Fire Gun Camp. I estimate that Lin Dan Batur's target for the south invasion is Ji Town.
After all, you have just taken over and are adjusting your deployment. The Chahar people must have spies here, so they will naturally understand the situation."
Feng Ziying nodded calmly: "I told my third brother last time that the Chahar people have spies on our side, so we can also use our caravan to spy on the Chahar people. If the Chahar people
The Er people are wary of us, so we might as well make use of some connections between the tribes in Outer Karkha and the Tumut people to find out about the Chahar people..."
"Well, this matter has already been done. There is no way for the Chahar people to hide their move. Tens of thousands of troops are going south, and everyone is at their mercy. From dispatching troops to logistics and supplies, to how to coordinate, it's not that
Simple, Lindan Batur thinks of these things too simply, thinking that he has suppressed the Khalkha tribes and the Horqin people, does he think that we, the Great Zhou Dynasty, are also weak persimmons?"
Although You Shigong’s tone was cautious, his mentality was full of confidence.
"Brother You, it's good to be sure. I've already written to my father about the Fire Gun Camp. I'll probably get a reply soon. My father attaches great importance to the Fire Gun Camp, but the more attention he pays to it, the more training this army should have.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a joke if he couldn’t play at the critical moment? If he can’t fight against the Chahar people, how can he fight against the Donglu?”
Feng Ziying’s words made You Shigong also very happy.
If one or two fire gun battalions can come to help out, then the pressure on him will be much less. Taiping Road, Yanhe Road and Taitou Road are what worry him the most. A few Chahar people can break in, relocate, and appease
Ning and even Lulong were the first to bear the brunt.
This area is also the most densely populated area in the entire Yongping Prefecture. It has been more than ten or twenty years since the last Chahar invasion. The vitality has finally been restored. If this happens again.
Once history repeats itself, I'm afraid that he, the commander-in-chief of Ji Town, will be charged and imprisoned without even being able to sit down.
"Ziying, thank you very much, brother Yu. If you can come to one or two fire gun camps, brother Yu will feel at ease." You Shigong sighed, "To tell you the truth, Ji Town's thousand-mile defense line, if we can say that it can be thoroughly
No one can do it without letting the Chahar people break in. All we can do is to react in the shortest possible time when the Chahar people break in, block the opponent's southward passage, and give the opponent a heavy blow as much as possible.
, forcing the opponent to withdraw as soon as possible. Of course, the best way to deal with this heavy blow is to cause huge damage to the opponent, making the opponent feel that the gain is not worth the loss..."
You Shigong's calmness made Feng Ziying very satisfied. The other party did not hide anything. He also knew that from the west road of Shuntian Mansion to the two east roads of Yongping Mansion, thousands of miles of border walls, and countless trails, the Chahar people could choose at any time.
If a breakthrough is made at any point, how can it be resisted by just relying on the passes and beacons on the side wall?
It is nothing more than exchanging space for time and reacting quickly on the second chain of defense to face the enemy.
You Shigong said that he should have been prepared for a long time. If the Fire Gun Battalion can come, it will undoubtedly give it more room for adjustment and deployment.
"Brother You, you are out of touch when you say that. Besides, it is helpless to defend the enemy from within. My father must also know that I am just speaking truthfully." Feng Ziying smiled, "Besides, I came to see the eldest brother.
That’s what you really want from your elder brother.”
You Shigong laughed, "The third child told me about the issues left over from the abolition of Xingzhou Youtun Guard and Lulong Guard, right? This is actually simple. There are not many remaining craftsmen now. I have already asked
There are only two to three hundred households in Youtunwei in Xingzhou. I have the final say on this matter and will give it all to Yongping Mansion..."
Feng Ziying smiled half-heartedly. He knew that Brother You was not a loyal and honest person. How could he be so straightforward and generous?
The problems left over from more than ten or twenty years ago. Although the Ministry of War and Jizhen did have an agreement with Yongping Mansion at that time, these craftsmen were compensated for the abolition of Yongping Guards, but there is no way for them to cheat on you now. You are so generous now.
It turns out that there are only two to three hundred households left. You must know that there were nearly a thousand craftsmen households at the beginning.
"Brother You, I'm afraid there are more than two or three hundred households. In less than twenty years, as far as I know, there have been nearly a thousand craftsmen households. How can they thrive in twenty years? It is said that there should be more than a thousand households.
, why is there still so much missing?”
Feng Ziying and You Shigong both started to get into the mood. Previously they were reminiscing about old times and talking about feelings, but now they have to talk about business matters. No one can give away their own interests easily.
"Haha, Ziying, you don't understand the situation below. You also know the situation of the craftsmen. There are more escapees than refugees every year. It is impossible to guard against it. If you don't pay attention, you will run outside the customs, like Guangning and Ningyuan.
Brother Yu is also worried about how to get these craftsmen back, but you also know that there are only a few people in Liaodong Town. This is just a matter of how difficult it is to get people back from them...
…”
You Shigong's deception and evasion left Feng Ziying speechless. She thought that the other party was an upright person. Now it seems that such an upright person does not exist in this world at all, at least when he becomes the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, don't even think about it.
“Brother You, don’t try to beat around the bush for me. Two or three hundred households will definitely not work. Tell the truth. This is my first time. Don’t make it impossible for me to go back and do business.” Feng Ziying also said with a smile.
"Ziying, brother Yu, please tell the truth. There are only two or three hundred households. Brother Yu can't give you more. Xingzhou Youtunwei is the most important armor, weapons and vehicle maintenance and manufacturing place in Ji Town. It needs to be supplied.
Jianchang Camp, Yanhe Camp, Taitou Camp, Shimenzhai Camp and other logistics support for the entire east and middle roads, Brother Yu is also in a dilemma." You Shigong also had a tangled look on his face: "I gave it to Yongping Mansion, Brother Yu from the Ministry of War.
