  Chapter 2142 Guizi Scroll Jinnan situation, Jinbei crisis

It was more than two months after Feng Ziying's second letter was sent to Beijing. It should be that Feng Ziying had won a great victory in Wubao and transferred to Fushi City before he sent the second round of letters to his family. .

  Of course, this time the letter is not only sent to the family, but more importantly, it is sent to several bigwigs in the court.

  Sent a letter to the cabinet, and then Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia, Guan Yingzhen, Zhongshun Wang, and Zhonghui Wang also wrote letters separately, and of course they also sent letters to their father.

If the first round of letters simply described the various ups and downs and risks on the road without much substantive content, then in the second round of letters, Feng Ziying shared her first impression of Shaanxi and the countermeasures she had taken. I have to give an explanation to the court cabinet and the big bosses who are close to me and take care of me for the next step.

After all, the situation in Shaanxi is even worse than expected. Many of my actions must be out of line. The reason why it is necessary to change the power on the fly when taking on the king's order.

It is the proper intention to send a few letters to Qi Yongtai and the others. After all, the letter from the cabinet is too high-sounding. The letters from the big bosses will reveal more of their inner thoughts, and the King of Zhongshun is mainly from Haitong Yinzhuang. The amount of borrowing will be greater than imagined.

As for King Zhonghui, it is more about contact. The position of Jingying Jiedu Envoy Zhonghui King seems to be firmly established, and nothing can be seen now, but the letter from Concubine Quan has also been delivered, mentioning the three relatives The army seems to be falling towards Meiyuexi, which can't but make Concubine Quan anxious.

   It seems meaningless to Feng Ziying, but it is still necessary to remind King Zhonghui to avoid some unexpected confusion.

It is really difficult to determine the condition of Emperor Yonglong now. It seems that the emperor has been lying on the bed in a state of insanity all day long, but his body has suddenly become much healthier. In other words, lying in bed as a puppet emperor sounds qualified, and even the cabinet seems to be quite satisfied with the current situation.

  Of course there must be people who are dissatisfied. The Supreme Emperor and the few princes who are eager to try are not satisfied with the current situation where the status is vacant.

  But in the current situation, if anyone expresses their intentions too bluntly, they may be regarded by others as a conspiracy to usurp power, whether it is the Supreme Emperor or a few princes.

  If the Supreme Emperor shows more attitude, it may be seen as premeditating for Prince Yizhong in Nanjing, causing a backlash.

   There is almost no one in the court to support this emperor who has repeatedly failed in the later period, even if he is the longest reigning emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

   Not to mention the competition between several princes, no one is willing to be a stepping stone for the brothers, so it is okay to fight for the position of supervisor, but don't mention anything else.

Qi Yongtai was eating porridge at home when he received Feng Ziying's letter. After reading the letter, he went back to his study and thought about it for a while, and then read it carefully. people.

He believes that Qiao Yingjia should have received Feng Ziying's letter, and Shanxi is Qiao Yingjia's hometown, and even many of the backbone of the northern scholars are from Shanxi, such as Han Yu and Sun Juxiang, these are among their core groups. member.

  The relationship between Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia is delicate.

The two belonged to the leadership role among the scholars in the North. Qi Yongtai, as the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is now a cabinet minister. Of course, he is regarded as the natural leader among the scholars in the North, but Qiao Yingjia is the most powerful among the scholars in the North. He is a strong leader of Shanxi scholars, and has always had a close relationship with Shanxi merchants, so his strength is also very strong.

  Of course, Qiao Yingjia also knows that because of his close relationship with Shanshan businessmen, his prestige among scholars will be much lower. This is also the inevitable negative effect of being close to businessmen.

   Especially Qi Yongtai's upright and clean image is admired by many scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. Even Qiao Yingjia admires this, and it is also one of the reasons why Qi Yongtai can sit firmly as the leader of the scholars in the North.

  Because of this, Qi Yongtai is firmly seated as the core leader, but Qiao Yingjia is good at dancing, and he is like a fish in water among the scholars in the north. It is reasonable to be the leader and the assistant.

  Han Yu and Sun Juxiang arrived first, while Qiao Yingjia was one step late.

Before Qiao Yingjia arrived, Qi Yongtai also gave Feng Ziying's letter to the two of them. When Feng Ziying was worried that the Shaanxi rebel army would enter Pingyang Mansion through Longmendu and he was powerless to intervene, Han Yu and Sun Juxiang both Some can't sit still.

  Especially Han Yu, he is from Puzhou, on the southwest corner of Pingyang Mansion, very close to Fenglingdu and Tongguan.

Sun Juxiang is also very anxious. He is from Qinshui. Qinshui is located in the west of Zezhou, close to Yicheng and Fushan in Pingyang Prefecture. Once Pingyang Prefecture falls, Zezhou will not be spared. You can also take advantage of the situation to attack Huaiqing Mansion in Henan, so as to enter Zezhou from Huaiqing Mansion.

"Does Ru Jun know?" Han Yu frowned, "I know that the rebellious army entered Jin. I thought it was a small group of rebellious troops to harass, but I didn't expect this to become a rear route for the rebellious army to flee eastward. If according to what Ziying said, he has no choice but to go south as soon as possible, but once he sends his troops south, those rebellious troops see that the situation is not good, wouldn't they have to swarm to the east of the river? How can Shanxi bear it? rise?"

"What the **** are Lu Chuan and Xie Zhenye doing?" Sun Juxiang's temper was strong, and his tone was much less polite. The Yan'an mansion is already very valuable, but Lu Chuan just watched Ziying fight in northern Shaanxi, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight? Or wait until the peaches fall to the ground, what is the court still doing? Why don't you replace such mediocre people as soon as possible?"

"Don't be impatient, Bo Fu, although the rebellious army is powerful, its attacking force is not strong. Basically, it avoided the county town, but if it goes on like this, especially after entering Shanxi, basically there will be no decent troops in southern Shanxi." The guards were all taken away by Chai Guozhu and Yang Yuan. This is what I am most worried about. It is difficult for the private army of the gentry alone to resist the experienced rebel army that has fought many battles in Hexi. , They already have enough experience to deal with these private soldiers."

   Qi Yongtai sighed.

   Qiao Yingjia happened to hear Qi Yongtai's words when he came in.

"I don't think this situation will last long. If the Shaanxi rebel army keeps entering Pingyang Prefecture, the situation in Pingyang Prefecture is not good, and the hungry people have already been incited. If this situation continues, the counties with worse conditions may be very poor. I survived the disaster." Qiao Yingjia's tone was a little low as soon as he came in, "Hejin and Ronghe are already in danger, and Jishan is still holding on, but I don't know how long it can hold on. will not be guaranteed.”

  Yi's is Qiao Yingjia's hometown, and he is also a little depressed when he mentions this.

It's not that he's not in a hurry, but that he knows that it's useless to be anxious about such things. Shanxi Town and Datong Town are now in the rebuilding stage. Although they can spare some troops to go south, they have to worry about the Mongols in the north and Fengzhou Bailian taking advantage of the fire. , and in terms of time to go south also need to prepare.

  The situation mentioned in Feng Ziying's letter, in fact, the military newspapers from Shanxi in the past two days have also begun to prove what he said.

The rebellious army in the east of Xi'an Mansion is getting stronger and stronger, and they are also constantly entering Shanxi, but the frontier army in Shanxi Town has not gone south for a long time. It is said that the vanguard has just passed Qingyuan. According to this speed, I am afraid that the Shanxi army will not arrive. , Jishan, Wanquan, and Yi clan will all fall, and even Linjin, Xiaxian, Anyi, and Jiezhou may all fall into the hands of thieves.

"Ru Jun is right. At this time, I am afraid that we will not be able to mess with ourselves." Qi Yongtai's eyes became a little more determined, "The news from the Ministry of War said that Su Nang Taiji He should be in contact with Lindan Batur, and it is said that he has met. Lindan Batur supports him in expelling Bu Shitu and obtaining the status of King Shunyi, but the premise is that he must cooperate with the Chahar people to invade the south. Lieutenant Long Jin has reported that Fengzhou Bailian has been acting strangely, frequently sending people into the mainland, and has increasingly frequent contacts with the White Lotus Sect in Shanxi and Beizhi, and there is a tendency to make trouble, but I don't know if this is a bit exaggerated,..."

"Shanxi Chief Commissioner and Inspection Commissioner have frequently sent letters requesting the Ministry of War to order Shanxi Town and Datong Town to send troops south, but Huaichang is very worried that if too many troops are deployed, if the side wall is breached by the Mongols or Fengzhou Bailian Difficult to cope with internal and external difficulties."

Han Yu interrupted Qi Yongtai with some displeasure, "Brother Chengfeng, what does Zhang Huaichang know? He keeps exaggerating the threat of the Tumet people and the Fengzhou Bailian, but so far I haven't seen how Fengzhou Bailian is related to Shanxi and North China." How many connections does the White Lotus Sect here have? Su Nangtaiji wants to collude with Lindan Batur to expel Bu Shitu and seize the throne of Shunyi King. Is this possible? Doesn’t he understand that there is no canonization of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this Shunyi King He will never be able to obtain the title, if he gets it, he will be a false king and usurpation!"

Qi Yongtai can understand Han Yu's worry. Puzhou and Yi's family are all in the south of Pingyang Prefecture. It can be said that they are all dead. Once the rebel army goes south, neither of these two places can escape. Qiao Yingjia didn't say it, but it doesn't mean he doesn't have it. Attitude, Sun Juxiang is also very worried about his hometown, which makes him feel great pressure.

As an old man, but he is also the leader of the northern scholars, he can not ignore the attitude of these backbone forces who usually support him. , but he can't even keep his hometown, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the elders in his hometown.

   The first update was delivered, and Lao Rui stayed up all night working hard, asking for monthly support!
