  Chapter 1859 Renzi Juan Grasping Military Power Left and Right

  After agreeing with the Ministry of War, Feng Ziying went home and quickly informed Yang Zhaoji who was still waiting for good news.

Yang Zhaoji didn't expect Feng Ziying to be so powerful that he could finish it in an hour. He thought it would take at least ten days and a half months, and he could also instruct the Gyeonggi Iron and Steel Military Industry and Building Materials Consortium to sell the fire in stock within three days. The blunderbuss is fired, which means that he can immediately get the gunpowder and bullets of the blunderbuss.

The overjoyed Yang Zhaoji also admired Feng Ziying so much that even the new commander-in-chief would never have the ability to take care of the Ministry of War and the workshop with one hand. Really promising.

Feng Ziying also shared his and Zhang Huaichang's worries by the way, and made it clear that the reason why he agreed to supplement the Xuanfu side first was because he was worried that something would happen on the northern line. go up.

  Yang Zhaoji didn't care about this point, isn't this military training just for fighting?

  Whether it’s fighting the Chahar people, Jianzhou Jurchen, or the Southern Army, it doesn’t make much difference to the warriors. They even hope that the more wars the better, this is the chance for the warriors to be promoted.

  If it was a peaceful age, the status of these warriors would only be lower, and they would be oppressed even harder by civil servants.

  Yang Zhaoji left excitedly.

  However, in addition to worrying about the ups and downs in the situation on the northern line, Feng Ziying naturally had to consider some countermeasures. Apart from sending a letter to remind You Shilu, what can Shuntian Mansion do?

  If the army on the northern front really loses, Yang Zhaoji's reserve team alone will definitely be far from enough, but besides the troops in Xuanfu Town, where else can they draw from?

  Ji Town You Shilu is already at the limit, and Ji Town's defense is under great pressure.

  Especially when Niu Jizong left Xuanfu Town suddenly, a huge loophole appeared in the entire northern defense, and the Chahar people were ready to move.

  Although due to seasonal reasons, the Chahar people have not yet made any substantial moves, but no one can guarantee that the Chahar people, who are aware of the weakness of the Great Zhou, will suddenly attack.

Now the line from Longmen Station to Bohai Station, including Yanqing Prefecture, was originally the defense area of ​​Xuanfu Town, and all of them have been handed over to Ji Town for temporary guards. For the new Xuanfu army, this period will last for half a year to two years before the Jizhen army will gradually withdraw and return to its original state.

  In addition to Ji Town, Liaodong Town should not be considered. Seeing such an opportunity, Nurhachi will definitely not make Dazhou feel better. Liaodong Town may even need the support of the court.

Don't even think about Datong Town. Datong Town, which was taken away by Sun Shaozu, is still injured and needs to be replenished. Only Jingying was used.

  Can Beijing Camp be used?

After the defeat of the Santunying, although the Jingying was rebuilt under the hands of Emperor Yonglong himself, the imperial court was full of doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Jingying from top to bottom. This distrust was deeply rooted, and the Jingying was almost on the same level as waste No, maybe Yang Zhaoji had just entered the capital camp not long ago, if he stayed for another two years, he might be "viewed differently" by the Ministry of War and the princes in the court again.

It's just that when there are really no soldiers to use, even waste has to be used, so Feng Ziying thinks that what she can do is to say hello to King Zhonghui, remind him to hurry up and train, and remind He Huchen by the way, once he leaves At that point, the department he is in must bear the brunt of it, and he has to prepare quickly.

  For Feng Ziying's visit, King Zhonghui was also overjoyed.

  Being the governor of the Beijing camp, King Zhonghui realized that it was not easy to be a governor.

The Commander of the Shenshu Battalion, the envoy of the Shenshu Battalion, was obedient to the Yin, and the commander of the Shenji Battalion, Qian Guozhong, also had his own petty secrets in his heart. What King Zhonghui could control was actually the Fifth Army Battalion, and his prestige as the Jiedu envoy of the Beijing Battalion could not be compared with the previous two. Compared with Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong, he is quite weak, even far from Chen Jixian, which makes him an extremely useless envoy of the Beijing camp.

   After all, now that he can use it, the most reliable one is actually He Huchen recommended to him by Feng Ziying.

  So when Feng Ziying went, King Zhonghui took Feng Ziying to pour out the bitterness.

This can't be blamed on King Zhonghui. He had never been in charge of the army before, and he had never even been in contact with military affairs. I really can't bear the weight.

   "My lord, you don't have to worry so much. You can't control the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp, so you can just concentrate on holding on to the Fifth Army Battalion."

  Feng Ziying thinks it's normal, Zhonghui Wang himself is not the material to be a Jiedushi, if you want him to intervene in Shenshu Camp and Shenji Camp, it will only worsen the relationship, and even worse.

"Ziying, how did you know that the Fifth Army Battalion is also difficult to handle." King Zhonghui sighed, "The Fifth Army Battalion is much larger than the Shenshu Camp and Shenji Camp, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. I was thinking about how to toss about it, and I was almost tormented by these things all day long."

   Unexpectedly, King Zhonghui would have such an attitude, and Feng Ziying was also speechless.

   It seems that there are not many capable people in this prince. If you are given authority, you will not manipulate it, so what can you do? But now the Jingying Jiedushi was appointed by Emperor Yonglong himself, and even the cabinet is not easy to change people casually, and it is also a headache to change anyone.

"My lord, then you must have a strategy." Feng Ziying shook her head, "The emperor asked you to serve as the envoy of the Beijing camp, maybe it is because you want to restrain Qiu Shiben and Qian Guozhong. You can't even manage the fifth army camp. what to do?"

  Hearing what Feng Ziying said, King Zhonghui felt more and more that this was the truth, but for him, he didn't know what to do.

"Ziying, give me an idea. I just now realize that being the governor of the Beijing camp was a big mistake of mine. I shouldn't have come to pick up the hot potato. Now I can't get rid of it." Zhonghui Wang pulled Holding Feng Ziying's hand, he looked expectant: "You always have an idea, and you can definitely give me a good idea."

"My lord, it's up to you to make up your own mind." Feng Ziying pondered for a moment, "What you lack is that you don't have people you trust, especially people who can fight. If you have, you might as well make this one a big one first. Strong, form a combat force, so that it can also deter the Shenshu camp and the Shenji camp, so that they don't dare to act rashly, and then they can cultivate people they can trust, such as taking some veterans from the army with certain combat effectiveness, Then combine a part of the new army for mixed formation, strengthen training, and gradually form combat effectiveness,..."

Feng Ziying can only give King Zhonghui this kind of idea that is not a good idea, and in this state, she can only operate in this way, and Feng Ziying doesn't know whether King Zhonghui can do it, but in this way, Feng Ziying hopes to give it to King Zhonghui. He Huchen has a chance.

   Now that Yang Zhaoji has had the opportunity, he will not favor one over the other, so he must try to give He Huchen a chance.

  If the battle on the northern front goes badly, then for Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen, it will be an opportunity, and it depends on who can grasp it.

King Zhonghui thought about it and felt that Feng Ziying's opinion was reasonable. He had never been in charge of the army before, and he didn't have any generals who could fight. The most reliable and powerful is He Huchen's department.

It’s just that He Huchen was too young, so he was hesitant before, but now it seems that he doesn’t care about it anymore. If it should be reorganized, it must be reorganized. As long as it can be used and can obey his own orders, it is fine. As for the age, young is younger. Isn't this one younger, he's already a fourth-rank senior member.

After making up his mind, King Zhonghui didn't talk to Feng Ziying anymore. Instead, he changed the topic and started talking about the current court situation and the prediction of the North-South War. Feng Ziying also mentioned that the Beijing camp should be well prepared. It needs to be pulled out, and Jingying can't lose face.

After lingering with King Zhonghui for a long time, Feng Ziying originally wanted to find a chance to see He Huchen, but going at this time would seem a bit blatant, so he simply left and waited for someone to inform He Huchen to come to his place to explain something .

  He Huchen also came to Feng Ziying's residence at night, and Feng Ziying explained the situation.

  He Huchen was also very excited.

  Originally, when I came to Beijing Camp, a pampered life might be the most comfortable for others, but this is not what people like He Huchen want.

As a warrior, he was more eager to prove himself on the battlefield. After the defeat of Santunying, both he and Yang Zhaoji had a small performance in Yongping Mansion, but the expedition with Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong and others to Wuling Mountain and the raid on Caojiazhai made one fell swoop. The performance of threatening the back of the Chahar people is not worth mentioning.

   Now Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong have formally entered the elite ranks of Jizhen by virtue of that performance, and have also become the young generals that You Shigong focused on training, but they and Yang Zhaoji are still lingering in the Beijing camp.

Although the emperor attached great importance to the Beijing camp and focused on training it, everyone knew that the mission of the Beijing camp was to defend the capital. It was rare for the Chahar people to come in like the previous year, so it was rare for the Beijing camp to fight. It was a kind of torture for myself and Yang Zhaoji, who were unwilling to live in such a mediocre life.

   Now that he finally got such an unexpected surprise, how could He Huchen not be overjoyed? You must know that Yang Zhaoji's incorporation into Xuanfu Town has already made He Huchen fascinated and saddened, and suddenly he has a chance to fight, so naturally he has to prepare well.

  Feng Ziying didn't say much, and only raised two points for He Huchen. One is to immediately strengthen the training after the expansion and reorganization, but first of all, he must ensure that the combat effectiveness of his headquarters does not decrease, but actively prepare for all aspects of fighting at any time.

  He Huchen didn't ask too much, the only places he could fight were the ones he could fight, and he just went to taste the changes in the current situation, but he just accepted the order generously.
