Besides, the Mongol army was numerous and powerful, but after all, they were still mainly cavalry, and their purpose was more clear. It was not to enter the Central Plains to seize the kingdom of the Zhou Dynasty, but it also had to fight with anyone. Robbery was the first purpose.
The purpose of the plunder was to consolidate the Chahar tribe's position among the Mongolian left wing and to enhance Lindan Batur's own prestige among the entire Mongolian people.
Then avoiding the real and attacking the fictitious, and attacking on the move are their main methods of combat. The Mongols are definitely not willing to overcome difficulties, but sometimes they will make choices in order to achieve certain goals and achieve results.
From this point of view, if the Mongols encounter setbacks in Qian'an and Lulong, it is really possible to advance westward into the hinterland to the west of Yongping Prefecture and the eastern hinterland of Shuntian Prefecture.
Moreover, Liangcheng Suo, Baodi, Tianjin Wei in the southeast of Shuntian Prefecture, and even Jinghai in the north of Hejian Prefecture are all close to the canal and have always been rich, and they lack strong defenses. The Mongols will not fail to see this.
"Brother Rong, we still don't know the scale and momentum of the Mongolian invasion to the south. However, if it were me, I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it does not exist. I would rather think the worst about things. If you are in Lutai and Beitang areas,
If Zhuangzi can, it is best to make preparations now. When the time comes, people should withdraw first, and things should be packed and hidden in advance. The Mongols swept past like locusts, but if they stayed for a long time, they did not have much time and energy to check and plunder them one by one.
However, if there is no goal worthy of their attention, they may give up..."
Jia Rong hesitated for a moment. He was just looking for an excuse to inquire. In fact, he didn't think that the Mongols could reach the edge of the canal. That meant that the Mongols would have to go hundreds of miles away from the border wall. Could it be that
Aren't you worried about logistical supplies or afraid that the Zhou army would cut off your return?
Feng Ziying can also understand the thoughts of young men like Jia Rong who have never experienced war. They all think that the Mongols are just a gust of wind. They can only plow grass and valleys on the side walls and dare not go deep into the interior. However, they forget that the Mongolian cavalry also occupied the Central Plains.
, sweeping across the world, its logistical supply capabilities are actually far beyond what the ordinary Great Zhou Bu Battalion can match.
If you really want to push it, hundreds of miles of land is not an insurmountable obstacle, not to mention the hinterland of the Central Plains, which is plain all the way from Yongping. With its mobility, unless the walls can be fortified and the wilderness cleared in advance, the Mongols will definitely
They can get everything they want in Kaiping Zhongtunwei and the hinterland of Shuntianfu to the west.
Jia Rong did not expect that Feng Ziying would give him such an answer now, which made him hesitate.
"Brother Rong, I suggest you make arrangements for this matter in advance. Once the Mongols really break through the border wall and go south, I'm afraid it will only take three to five days to reach the canal line. If you have to clear your way again, I'm afraid there will be some trouble.
That's too late."
Feng Ziying said this. If the other party doesn't believe it and ends up suffering a loss, then he can't blame himself.
"Uncle, you said that Ji Town has a strong army and strong horses, so why can't it resist the Mongolian invasion? There are still 100,000 troops in the capital city. The Mongols have been harassing outside the border wall for so many years, but except for twenty years
In the past, we have never seen the Mongols break in over the years. Once we have to relocate, it will take a lot of effort to move people and things away and hide them..."
Jia Rong still felt unsafe and wanted to get an accurate answer.
“Brother Rong, this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly in one sentence. The Mongols naturally have their reasons for choosing this invasion...” Feng Ziying didn’t bother to explain, it was up to him to believe it or not.
“But it has something to do with the situation in the capital?” Jia Rong asked abruptly.
Feng Ziying was stunned. He didn't expect Jia Rong to ask such a profound question. He was a little surprised. He looked at Jia Rong for a while and then said in a deep voice: "Brother Rong, what do you want to say?"
Jia Rong stood up and bowed unusually sincerely, "Uncle, my father and I have been thinking about the future of Ningguo Mansion in the past few years. We always feel that Rongning Second Mansion is getting worse and worse, and it is a bit exhausted.
We also know the reason why it is difficult to maintain the current government. But here in Ningguo Mansion, my father and I are useless. We are unable to study and are incompetent. We can only try our best to maintain it, so we also look forward to it.
Can the uncle show us a clear path for Ningguo Mansion..."
Feng Ziying was inexplicably surprised. Which play did Jia Rong perform for her as soon as she came on?
He and Ning Guofu do not have such a good relationship. If you say that Jia Lian or Jia Baoyu sang this for him for the future of Rong Guofu, he can accept it, but Jia Rong and Ning Guofu are not suitable.
However, these words can also show that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are not as absurd and playful as the outside world imagines, rather than without any consideration. They are also aware of their own crisis, but simply change it when they are unable to change or reverse it.
I chose to escape, but when I found that I couldn't escape and the crisis was getting closer and closer until it directly affected my own survival, I had to face it again.
“Brother Rong, what you said is quite interesting. Why do you suddenly want to talk to me about this?” Feng Ziying said with a faint smile.
Don’t hit the smiling person. Previously, they wanted to please Second Sister You in order to get in touch with you. They probably wanted to take this opportunity to let Second Sister You enjoy the pillow breeze. Now it seems that it’s hard for me to reject others.
Besides, let's listen to what this guy has to say.
"Uncle, to tell you the truth, the situation in our house is probably worse than that in Xifu. Ever since my grandfather entered Xuanzhen Temple to practice Taoism, our house has been neglected. My father and I have no abilities..." Jia Rong
With a look of pain on his face, "My father and I originally wanted to find a suitable marriage partner to alleviate the difficulties in the family, but we never thought that my grandfather would settle on the Qin family early..."
Feng Ziying sneered in her heart. This guy is actually an actor, and his acting is vivid. The more half-truths and half- lies, or even nine truths and one lie, the most touching and deceiving people. But does he think he doesn't know the origin of the Qin family?
Feng Ziying did not believe that Jia Rong would be so unwise.
“..., if the uncle could not instruct Jia Rui to find out the cancer of the Lai family for the Jia family, the Rongning and Ningfus would never have peace..."
There is no need to say such nonsense, Feng Ziying is a little impatient.
“…My grandfather also called my father and me a few days ago and said that he was not going to die soon…”
Feng Ziying was startled. She leaned forward slightly and sat up straight. This seemed a little different. Could there be anything unusual about Jia Jing?
In Feng Ziying's impression, Jia Jing is a character with almost nothing worth mentioning. He was born as a Jinshi, but fell in love with Taoism, then became a monk in Xuanzhen Guan, and finally refined alchemy until his death. The only thing that impressed him was his birthday celebration, and then his funeral after his death. Others
Completely indifferent.
It seems that there were some controversies about him in Hongxue, but at that time Feng Ziying thought it was just some far-fetched speculation. In this life, he also heard some news that Jia Jing seemed to be with the wrong person, and then he took the initiative to become a monk to avoid trouble. Well, this
To a certain extent, it is consistent with what some "red science experts" said, but now that Jia Rong suddenly mentioned it, it was definitely not a whim or a slip of the tongue.
Your life is not long? Can you predict whether you will live or die? Or will your illness be serious and difficult to treat?
Feng Ziying said nothing, just watched Jia Rong's performance.
“My father and I don’t know what my grandfather meant by what he said, but I feel that my grandfather seems to be very worried, which is very different from when we usually see him..."
Jia Rong introduced the past situation in a somewhat nonchalant manner, which made Feng Ziying a little confused.
Until Jia Rong said goodbye and left, Feng Ziying still didn’t fully understand Jia Rong’s purpose.
Of course, not all was lost. Feng Ziying could tell that Jia Rong represented the Jia family in Ningguo Mansion and wanted to get closer to her. Perhaps the situation of Jia Lian, Jia Yun and even Jia Huan was somewhat harmful to Ningguo Mansion.
The excitement, and the relationship between Jia Rui's rise to power, the capture of the Lai family, and many other things and the Ningguo Mansion gave Jia Rong some other thoughts.
I have to say that people like Jia Zhenjiarong may be incompetent and reckless, but after decades of ups and downs, they still have some ability to observe the situation, be able to detect the decline of Ningguo Mansion, and be able to take the initiative to find and save Ningguo.
He was a little surprised by the fact that the idea was directed towards him.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not surprising.
The groups around Rong Ning's Second Mansion are the martial arts groups of the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises. Of course, the original four major families are also added. But among the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises, all the Four Kings and Eight Dukes are the same as the Jia family, except for the Bei family.
Except for Wang Jing's Shui family and Zhen Guo's Niu family, they are all in an irreversible decline. On the contrary, the Twelve Marquises and some of the martial arts who were not even included in the Twelve Marquises in the past are still somewhat impressive, such as the Feng family, such as the Wang family
.
The only support they can find is within this circle. Can those families of scholars and civil servants still think highly of them?
There is still the Wang family to rely on in the Rongguo Mansion, and the eldest girl was sent to the palace, but now it seems that the treasure of sending the girl to the palace was a bit biased, and she lost all her money. Now she is getting closer to the Feng family, and the Xue family is completely relying on it.
Go to the Feng family, look at the idiot Xue, and look at the second wife of the Xue family who even did not hesitate to make their legitimate daughter a concubine, it is enough to explain a lot.
The historians are trying to please the Shou Wang lineage, but it’s hard to say what the result will be. If they bet on the wrong money, maybe the historians will also end up dead. This is
In this case, Ning Guofu’s anxiety is understandable.
It's just that Jia Rong's actions today made Feng Ziying a little confused.
Jia Jing and Qin Keqing, these two mysterious figures in "A Dream of Red Mansions", seem to be coming to the forefront. Before, I still ignored the Jia family of Ningguo Mansion, and even Jia Rong didn't seem to be the same as I thought before.
He is so useless, but at least he is a good actor, and his performance in front of him is quite good, and at least he has successfully aroused his interest.
