  Chapter 1071 Geng-character scroll worship post represents trend

   It should be said that the news published by "Today's News" today has indeed caused a huge shock in the entire capital.

  Without him, the huge pressure brought by the Mongol invasion during this period of time was too great. When encountering this kind of war, everyone suddenly couldn't accept it.

It seems that the world has been at peace for more than 20 years, and the younger generation seems to have never experienced the taste of war. The impression of the Mongols or the Jurchens is that they came to the capital city with their horses, bringing fur, ginseng, and gold sand. , Those caravans with dirty and smelly bodies, rude behavior, and blunt speech.

I have heard stories of wars in the past, either on the distant side walls, or in and around border towns such as Yulin, Datong, or Liaodong, which can really impress the citizens of the capital city as Chahar twenty years ago. However, they only broke in from Yongping Mansion and Xuanfu Town, and did not really go deep into the territory of Shuntian Mansion. The impact on the people of Jingshi City was not as great as this time.

Unlike this time, the Mongols actually broke through Huairou and dense clouds, and approached the line of Shunyi and Pinggu, almost reaching the city of Beijing. Thinking of the roaring cavalry, the ferocious and terrifying foreigners, waving sabers, Rushing into the city with a whip in hand, burning, killing and looting, the people of the entire capital city could no longer sit still.

All of a sudden, all kinds of rumors and rumors in the capital city began to prevail. In addition, a large number of gentry and big families from the suburbs of Beijing who poured in from outside the city were also afraid that the world would not be chaotic. Evil and terrifying, it seems that they can turn into monsters and goblins anytime and anywhere to choose and devour people. This kind of situation can only aggravate the fear of the people in the capital city.

   This transmission effect will continue to increase, and the herd effect makes everyone feel a sense of breathlessness.

  In fact, officials who know a little bit about military affairs in the court do not have much influence. Even if the Mongols can hit the capital, so what?

The majestic and majestic capital city is as tyrannical as the Wala Grand Master two hundred years ago, so he can only smash his halberd here, and return home in desperation, not to mention that the elite Datong Army and Xuanfu Army of the frontier army have already made a big move. Enter Shuntian Mansion, and the Chahar people are far inferior to the Wala people of that era.

But for ordinary people, even if it is an announcement from the court, they will still feel that the court is covering up the defeat and appeasing the hearts of the people. On the contrary, any rumor in the market can make them flock to it, let alone have ulterior motives People are making waves in it.

This is also the reason why Emperor Yonglong, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites wanted to half-disguise the disastrous defeat of the Santun Camp and the Beijing Camp to the public, because such a big event cannot be concealed from others. Fleeing to Yongping Mansion, a small number fled to Zunhua and were collected, but there are still very few who fled back to the capital city through various channels, not to mention that the DPRK and China cannot keep secrets.

This kind of news will spread sooner or later. Instead of being hyped up and even divorced from reality, it is better to use a media platform like "Today's News" to make it public. At least now "Today's News" has a good reputation in Gyeonggi. Through this News from newspapers is more acceptable to the people.

  Of course, "Today's News" is also happy to take this opportunity to establish itself as the industry's undisputed and absolute number one position in the Gyeonggi area, which can be regarded as two benefits.

   "Today's News" also released the news that the Nekhka people were defeated in Qian'an City, but this was far from enough to attract the attention of the people in the capital city. How could Qian'an City compare with Jingying? The Jingying is the closest and most intuitive army living around the people in the capital. It is the emperor's personal army. I dare not say that it is invincible when going out to fight, but at least it should be incomparable. All became captives?

"Today's News" did not mention the situation of tens of thousands of prisoners captured in the defeat of the Beijing camp, but as soon as the news was released, countless people made up their own imaginations, and then countless people went around to check and verify through some well-informed people. The real situation of the Beijing camp being made dumplings by the Mongols cannot be concealed.

   Before Feng Ziying had time to go out, she was already blocked at home.

The news of Feng Ziying's return to Beijing actually spread yesterday, but the real ferment was Feng Ziying's audience with the emperor, and "Today's News" published the news today that Yongmin Zhuang blocked the Nekhka people under Qian'an City and won a complete victory .

Many people who got this news wanted to inquire about the authenticity of this situation. After all, the two completely different news of being blocked by Yongmin Zhuang in Qian'an City and capturing tens of thousands of people in Beijing's defeat are really unbelievable. It seems that the two results should be completely reversed to make people feel more normal.

Several guild halls, including Shanshan, Dongting, Longyou, Anfu, Huizhou and other places, came to post and ask for an interview, and naturally, students from Qingtan Academy, which has been temporarily disbanded and most of the students have moved to live in the capital They, as well as Feng Ziying's classmates, and representatives of martial arts such as Dongping County King and Beijing County King, and even Chen Jixian and Qiu Shiben sent invitations, which has never happened before.

In theory, Feng Ziying's achievements in Yongping Mansion have nothing to do with these businessmen in the Shanshan Guild Hall. After all, Feng Ziying has already followed the path of local officials, and Yongping Mansion is neither Shuntian, Jinling, Ningbo, Suzhou, etc. In Zheshe Mansion, Feng Ziying is not the chief official of the mansion, but just an acquaintance. These merchants who are mainly based in the south don't seem to need to value this formerly famous Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan any more.

  But the sense of smell and insight of businessmen are not comparable to ordinary people, and even sharper than many officials.

Feng Ziying took the initiative to avoid the capital and go to Yongping when the limelight was at its peak. This move itself is very intriguing. In addition, the governor of the two important towns in Jizhen, Liaodong in the north is still his father. This time, he was summoned by the emperor so abruptly. And give praise and praise, mixed with the news of the victory of the Qian'an Battle, if the merchants don't understand the taste of it, then they are really not qualified to be a merchant gang.

Seeing the cars and boats converging in Fengcheng Hutong, Feng Ziying was also taken aback. Although he also expected that "Today's News" would definitely attract the attention of many interested people as soon as it came out, but such a scale and strength still shocked him greatly. .

The emperor is putting himself on fire, although Feng Ziying doesn't think this is such a bad thing, if there is a gain, there will be a loss, and if there is a loss, there will be a gain, since this is a relatively dialectical truth, he never expected that only Take advantage of the things that don't bear the pressure and risk.

The merchants are nothing more than congratulations, getting closer again, and reminiscing about old feelings. The students naturally come to understand the specific situation and deepen their feelings by the way, but Wu Xun’s representatives are not easy to say. I’m afraid they have complicated feelings. But it's indescribable.

As for Chen Jixian and Qiu Shiben, a general of the Fifth Army Battalion and a deputy general of the Shenshu Battalion, they are the only remaining leaders of the two armed forces in the Beijing Battalion. Qiu Shiben should be the direct descendant of Emperor Yonglong, so the two of them also want to pay a visit to him, which is a bit imaginative.

   "What's the matter, Mr. Xianggong?" With Qingwen's support, Shen Yixiu was a little puzzled when he saw Feng Ziying looking at the greeting card with a serious expression on his face.

Even if Feng Tang, Feng Ziying and his son are not in Beijing, the Feng family will often receive various invitations. In fact, many invitations do not need to be replied. One's respect and respect.

For example, when Feng Tang's subordinates in Yulin or Datong came to Beijing in the past, they knew that the old boss was not in Beijing. Sending a letter of greeting and a gift is actually a gesture. When writing letters to Feng Tang, his family will naturally Mentioning that a certain year and a certain month will come to the home to give away stickers, it will naturally deepen the impression in Feng Tang's mind.

  The same people who Feng Ziying helped and supported, such as Shen Yourong, such as He Huchen or Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu, or Jia Huan in the future, as long as they have a career in the future, they all need to have such a set of etiquette.

  The same is true for Feng Ziying, Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia, and Guan Yingzhen, and even people like Chai Ke.

The specific degree of intimacy is also closely related to the frequency of meeting and sending greeting cards. Some are greeting cards for celebrations and ceremonies at home during festivals, some are for expressing an attitude when you return to Beijing, and of course some are for sending cards to ask to see you. .

   These can be reflected according to the specifications of the post and the words in the post, and this has become the most realistic communication program among the middle and upper social classes in Dazhou.

When Shen Yixiu was at home, he often dealt with these invitations. Most of them did not need to reply, because the owner was not at home, and most of them were for ceremonial purposes. Gifts sent by others were to be registered in the book. The mother-in-law wrote a letter to her father-in-law, or she wrote a letter to Feng Ziying herself, but it was nothing.

  But seeing Feng Ziying's cautious expression today made Shen Yixiu a little puzzled.

   "Well, it's nothing, just a little accident." Feng Ziying shook her head, and put down the greeting cards from Chen Jixian and Qiu Shiben.

  I and Chen Jixian’s son, Chen Yejun, were still good friends at the Imperial College, but since Chen Jixian served as the general of the Fifth Army Battalion, he went to Qingtan Academy to study and focused on pursuing the civil service career, and the relationship between the two became far away.

  Although the business cooperation in Daguan Building seemed to be closer, it was more purely commercial interests. In terms of closeness, it was not as good as Han Qi and Wei Ruolan who were together at that time.
