The 140th chapter of the one hundred and fortieth chapter, you have not sung, I will appear
Wang Wenyan was a little surprised and shook his head slowly.
"Sir, if the Denglai army goes north and is stationed near Ji Town, as the emperor expects, it will be nothing more than both sides being injured by the Mongols. If Wang Ziteng can save this army, it will be dangerous. As you said
, Mr. You has not yet completely controlled the situation inside Ji Town. If the remaining tribes of Li Chengliang and Ma Gui are united by Wang Ziteng, then it will really be like putting out the fire with salary."
Feng Ziying nodded.
Wang Wenyan obviously saw this too.
Even if Emperor Yonglong really wanted to weaken the troops he couldn't control near the capital, he shouldn't have done so.
The Denglai Army has tens of thousands of people. Even if it is just a newly formed army, Wang Ziteng is a veteran general. In addition, he has great prestige in the army and is the soul of the general. This army cannot be underestimated and is enough to be feared.
Already.
If he is allowed to go to Jizhen again, I am afraid that Li Chengliang and Ma Gui, who have always been dissatisfied with his father and You Shigong, may gather under the command of Wang Ziteng. You Shigong can fight again, but in the old capital
In front of Ying Jiedushi and Governor Xuanda, his prestige was of no importance at all. In addition, Wang Ziteng was also a martial artist and had many connections in the army. Who could suppress him?
Even his father's prestige is not as good as that of Wang Ziteng, let alone You Shigong.
At that time, Wang Ziteng will find various reasons to stay near Jizhen. Today there will be a mutiny in the army, tomorrow the soldiers will fight for pay, and the next day the Chahar people will invade the border again. What will the court do?
Once something really happened in the capital, this army suddenly pounced on him, as well as the Xuanfu Army in the northwest, which was in the hands of Niu Jizong. Did the emperor really intend to give up the throne to Prince Yi Zhong?
"I said that Brother You doesn't seem to be very anxious about the Mongols' invasion of the south. I'm thinking that he might want to use the Mongols' hands to clean up the inside of Ji Town?" Feng Ziying sighed.
This is not the best way, but it is the most effective and safe way.
Now Li Chengliang and Ma Gui's gang members are very powerful in Ji Town. In order to firmly control Liaodong Town, my father used his power as the governor of Ji Liao to constantly rotate and adjust the armies of Liaodong and Ji Town.
Li Chengliang's die-hard direct descendants gradually switched their defenses to Jizhen.
Now, Liaodong Town's side has become stronger and everyone is united, but in Ji Town, there are Magui tribes who are not convinced by You Shigong. Now that Li Chengliang's gang members are here again, it is even more chaotic.
This also gave You Shigong quite a headache.
Feng Ziying estimated that her father should have communicated with You Shigong, and the invasion of the Mongolian left-wing tribes southward would be an excellent opportunity for purges.
"If it wasn't the Denglai Army, where else could it be?" Feng Ziying asked lightly.
"Jingying?!" Wang Wenyan and Feng Ziying's eyes met in the air, and they uttered two words between their teeth.
Feng Ziying took a deep breath. If nothing goes wrong, Emperor Yonglong should be taking action against this serious enemy of Beijing Camp.
After enduring it for so many years and deliberately indulging the Jingying camp for so many years, the Jingying camp has become somewhat unworthy of its name. However, no matter how unworthy of its name, there are so many thousands of people stationed in the capital city, and it is also the only regular army in the capital city. No matter what the four guards camp is,
The Warriors Camp is incomparable. As long as this army is not in the hands of the emperor, he will never be able to rest in peace.

In the east study, Emperor Yonglong closed his eyes and meditated until Lu Song came in.
"Your Majesty, Yang Kedong has indeed escaped back to Bozhou and has shown up. The news has been passed to the Ministry of War and the Cabinet. It is estimated that Mr. Zhang and all the cabinet ministers are already aware of it."
"Well, I understand." Emperor Yonglong's face didn't look very good.
Yang Kedong's disappearance and escape was not what Emperor Yonglong wanted. He himself could not predict how much impact the southwest rebellion would have on the court.
But he also knew that sooner or later there would be chaos in the southwest. This would not change whether Yang Kedong was in the court or not. Yang Yinglong would not give up his ambition just because of a son. What's more, he also had an eldest son, Yang Chaodong, who was Yang Yinglong's most important person.
Valued.
"Lu Song, when do you think there will be chaos in the southwest?" Emperor Yonglong asked after a long time.
"I don't dare to speak nonsense..." Seeing the emperor's unhappy expression, Lu Song frowned and said: "But it won't be later than October. July and August are the rainy season in the southwest. It often rains heavily and the roads are not smooth.
, both the native soldiers and the officers and soldiers have a hard time adapting, but the native soldiers can adapt to the wet and cold winter in the southwest, while the officers and soldiers may..."
"It's October." Emperor Yonglong let out a leisurely breath, "What a coincidence?"
"What does the emperor mean...?" Lu Song hesitated.
"Lindan Batur of the Chahar tribe also intends to invite the Inner and Outer Khalkhas to invade the south. It should probably be in September or October. What about the Eastern captives?" Emperor Yonglong dropped the paperweight in his hand, stood up, and put his hands behind his back.
I walked around the study room and asked, "Why was the Zhou Dynasty so troubled? Even if I want to calm it down, it seems difficult to do so."
"Your Majesty, don't be too worried. The Mongols are just a gust of wind. They may bring some losses, but they cannot stand in the pass. As long as they hold on to Shuntian Mansion, they can get through it in a month or two."
Lu Songkuan explained to the other party, "As far as I know, the situation in Liaodong Town is quite stable. Mr. Feng is working hard to build a new fire gun army, which is gradually taking shape. I think that Donglu may not be able to take advantage in Liaodong Town in the future. As long as Liaodong
If you don’t lose it, then there will be no serious problems in the pass.”
"Then the southwest is no big deal?" Emperor Yonglong smiled and glanced at the other party.
"Even if Yang Yinglong can start a rebellion, it will only disturb the southwest. He only needs to seal off Huguang and slowly figure it out, and he can win it back." Lu Song muttered: "The emperor can ask the ministers in the cabinet, they should have some ideas.
A relatively clear judgment.”
Lu Song realized that the emperor was increasingly distrustful of the cabinet, which was very dangerous, especially when the emperor was not in good health. If he continued to be too hands-on, it would definitely make the emperor's health worse.
Emperor Yonglong heard the hidden meaning in his confidant's words, sighed and said nothing.
*********
Feng Ziying had just returned home, and before she could sit down and take a sip of water, Wang Yingxiong hurried over, and with him was Zheng Chongjian.
Both Wang Yingxiong and Zheng Chongjian were awarded the title of Deputy Chief of the seventh rank of Fang Sizheng of the Ministry of War, while Yang Sichang, who was in the same department, was appointed as the fifth rank of Yuan Wailang of the Military Selection and Clearing Department of the Ministry of War.
From this alone, we can see that the gap between a first-class Jinshi, plus being a Hanlin Academy editor, and an ordinary third-class Jinshi, after three years, there is a gap of three levels, and Yang Sichang is the most powerful officer in the Ministry of War, who has the most power to select officials.
Wai Lang, this disparity is not too big.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Wang Yingxiong and Zheng Chongjian's faces were a little serious, Feng Ziying had actually guessed the inside story, but she still joked with them, "You know I'm coming back, are you going to beat Qiu Feng?"
"Okay, Ziying, what time is it now, do you still have the heart to say this?" Wang Yingxiong said angrily: "Yang Kedong has fled back to Bozhou and has appeared in public. Long Jinwei has received the news, and the man inside just now
We are discussing this matter. Master Zhang and Master Chai have both gone and are expected to come back soon to discuss it in detail. Dazhang and I couldn’t sit still, so we came here to ask you for an explanation."
"Ziying, you started planning a year or two ago. Did you expect it in Banzhou?"
Zheng Chongjian simply couldn't imagine how his classmate could have such a keen sense of smell or insight into the situation.
He had anticipated the Ningxia rebellion half a year in advance. Now that the chaos in the southwest was looming, he actually discussed it with Wang Yingxiong a year or two in advance.
I used to think that Wang Yingxiong and Feng Ziying were a bit alarmist, but after checking the news from Sichuan from the Ministry of Household Affairs, I learned that food prices in Chongqing Prefecture, Shunqing Prefecture, and Xuzhou Prefecture, which are closest to Bozhou, have been steadily rising this year.
, Zheng Chongjian felt that this rebellion was probably inevitable.
"I can't say I expected it, but I just felt that the Liutu War would reach a breaking point sooner or later. Looking at the southwest, who else could start a rebellion? Yang Yinglong is probably the most likely, otherwise why would the imperial court let Yang Kedong be held hostage?
"Feng Ziying sneered, "In my opinion, the imperial court is lacking in confidence. It's not two countries, it's just a chieftain, but it still has to give birth to a son as a pledge. Doesn't this mean that I'm a little afraid of you? Don't make trouble.
Son, doesn’t this encourage Yang Yinglong’s arrogance? And the Yongning Xuanfu envoy She Chongming next to him is probably also a dormant poisonous snake, and may not be much better than Yang Yinglong..."
Hearing what Feng Ziying said, Zheng Chongjian got a headache, "Ziying, that's not the case, is it? He also said that if Yang Yinglong really wants to rebel, in addition to the troops from the Sichuan Dusi, Yongning Xuanwei's local soldiers can also be used.
According to what you say, aren’t these Xuanwei Division and Xuanfu Division all dangerous?”
"That's not necessarily the case. There are definitely risks in places where the feud between the two chieftains is more intense. But some places that are good at handling relationships are not necessarily irreconcilable. What's more, if someone really rebels, for these chieftains, it will be a disaster.
Opportunities to make meritorious service to the country." Feng Ziying remembered that the white pole soldiers in the previous life were from the southwestern chieftains, so Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong, who were both from the Fangsi family, must have known this.
"If chaos breaks out in the southwest in autumn, and the Chahar people invade from the north, wouldn't the Great Zhou Dynasty be in danger?" Wang Yingxiong clenched his fist and couldn't help asking: "Ziying, you are in Yongping, and you are about to face the enemy.
Regarding the Chahar people, if chaos breaks out in the southwest, how will the court respond?"
"When soldiers come to cover up water and earth, we have to face it." Feng Ziying stood up, "Both sides cannot be ignored, but I think the southwest side is more important."
"What?" Zheng Chongjian and Wang Yingxiong were both confused. They were worried that the court would pay too much attention to the Mongolian invasion of the south and would delay the response to the southwest. Unexpectedly, Feng Ziying actually felt that the chaos in the southwest needed to be taken more seriously.
