  Chapter 673 Don’t Counseling Dad

  On the ninth day of May, Feng Ziying and his party arrived in the capital city.

   On the first night of Feng Ziying's arrival in the capital city, Feng Tang also returned to the capital from Xijiang.

  Father and son almost rushed back to the capital city.

  Compared to the overwhelmed return to the capital city last time, this time is relatively relaxed, but there may be more follow-up affairs.

But with Fan Jingwen and Wu Tong who came back with me, many things can be arranged for them to do first, such as the collection of franchise fees for the entire trip to the south of the Yangtze River, the sale of Kaihai bonds, and the negotiation of the establishment of the Shibo Department, etc. Fan Jingwen and Wu Tong can be allowed to write the article.

   It can be said that apart from the formation of the Shibo Department, other matters of Kaihai have basically been put on the road. Even if there is no self, it will not be a big problem to follow this routine in the future.

  As for Haitong Yinzhuang, with the effective cooperation of King Zhongshun and sufficient preparations in the early stage, it is nothing more than a matter of speed of development. With Duan Xigui on the shoulders, Feng Ziying is quite sure.

"Mengzhang, Luyou, the next job may be the two of you, and I'm going to be lazy." Feng Ziying said goodbye to the two on the pier, "Speak to the official teacher, I have a bit of trouble here. A few things, I will go to the Zhongshu Department tomorrow morning, I think the officials should ask questions, and you can answer them,..."

   "Ziying, I know that you are eager to return home, otherwise, Luyou and I will go back to rest today, and tomorrow we will go to the Zhongshu Department and report to the officials..."

  Fan Jingwen was still very knowledgeable, and suggested with knowledge and interest, and Wu Tong also agreed.

  Feng Ziying was not polite either. After thanking each other, they agreed on a time and said goodbye.

  Running all the way home, Feng Ziying finally met her father who had been away for more than half a year.

   I haven't seen him for more than half a year. Feng Tang has darkened a lot, but he is still in good spirits, but his face is not very good-looking.

  The door of the study was closed, and the two cups of tea rose into mist in front of the father and son, and disappeared in a flash.

   "My father didn't want to go to Liaodong, and he had submitted his resignation letter, but he hadn't handed it in yet. Chai Ke clearly told his father that the court had already made a decision and he had to go..." Feng Tang rested his hand on his forehead, his face full of sorrow and exhaustion.

   "Why doesn't my father want to go to Liaodong?" Feng Ziying roughly knew some reasons, but he was surprised to see that his father had to submit his resignation letter to refuse to go to Liaodong.

   This is almost like running away. Even if he is lucky enough to avoid taking office, it means that his father can only quit his job at this point, and there is no possibility of recovery.

  Based on my understanding of the character of my father's official fans, I am in good health at this age, and I am definitely unwilling to take up an official position, but in order not to go to Liaodong, I am so determined?

If it is normal to walk through Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke's lineage, it may not be possible to make a change, but now at this point, there is already a lot of noise outside, basically there is no room for maneuver. The situation is easy.

"There are too many reasons, and all of them are fatal." Feng Tang shook his head with a face full of dejection, and sighed, "The most fundamental one is that I am not familiar with the situation in Liaodong, and I know nothing about the enemy on the other side. But I have to face it, once the situation is unfavorable, it will be a trivial matter for me to go to prison, which will delay the layout of the imperial court in Liaodong, and even affect the survival of the entire Liaodong, as a father, I really can't afford this responsibility."

  Feng Ziying realized that her father seemed to be really flustered. If he went to Liaodong with such a lack of confidence and fighting spirit, he might really have a big accident.

  Even if the important officials of the court are aware of his father's situation, I'm afraid they will lose confidence in their father.

"Father, no one can get acquainted with the situation as soon as they go. Haven't you worked in Datong for so many years? You have also dealt with the Chahar people for so many years. What Liaodong has to face is the Jurchens and Mongols. To put it more bluntly, they are the Jianzhou Jurchen and Chahar people, and the Horqin people a little further north,..."

  Feng Ziying carefully tested her father's intentions.

  He felt that his father was not like him just because he was not familiar with the situation in Liaodong.

The Mongols are not so powerful now, not enough to bother my father so much. The Chahar people are also very familiar with Lin Danhan and he is still young, so there is no such thing as a big threat. Of course, Jianzhou Jurchen is the most It's tricky, but before Jianzhou Jurchen has completed the unification of the Jurchen Ministry, the threat to Liaodong is huge, but it should not be fatal.

If my father is really worried about this matter, it is not impossible to find an opportunity to escape in Liaodong for three to five years. With my father's character, this kind of paperworker's ability is definitely better than him going to the battlefield. ability is much stronger.

  Besides, the situation in Liaodong is dangerous. It is just a seemingly irreversible trend that makes the officials in the court anxious, not that it is about to be out of control and the whole fall is about to happen.

  According to the timeline, it will be at least ten years before Nurhaci wants to truly control the Jurchen tribes to launch a general attack on Liaodong Town. His father is not Li Chengliang, so he never thought about sticking to Liaodong for more than ten years, right?

"Huh, you put it lightly, do you really think that your father doesn't know the situation in Liaodong when he is on the third side?" Feng Tang said impatiently: "Jianzhou Jurchens are gaining momentum, and the Hercynian tribes are powerless to fight against it. Within the year, the Haixi Jurchen will only be wiped out. Once the Jianzhou Jurchen swallows the Haixi Jurchen, as well as the Horqin tribe who flirt with them, Dazhou will be in a helpless situation in Liaodong. Maybe your father will Trapped to death in Liaodong."

  Feng Ziying realized that her father was not completely ignorant of the situation in Liaodong, and he needed to do some research.

   "Father, aren't there still Chahar people? Aren't the Horqin people just flirting with Jianzhou Jurchen and not really throwing their arms around Jianzhou Jurchen?" Feng Ziying was as steady as a dog.

He needs to cheer up his father, and he can't let his father persuade him, otherwise, if his father really persuades him to become an official, not only the whole Feng family will bear the infamy of fearing the enemy like a tiger, but he is afraid that he will work hard in the western border. All the fame that has been built will go to waste, and they will never recover.

No one would trust a general who is afraid of a battle with the Jurchens. This is the most basic red line for generals in Dazhou. You can be cautious, careful, and ask for any conditions, but you can't be afraid of a battle. This is Feng Ziying came to the conclusion after dealing with the Ministry of War.

"Hmph, Lindan Batur is a little boy, he doesn't understand bullshit, what can he do? The current Chahar people are strong outsiders, but they can't even control the Horqin people. They still want to be the co-lord of the Mongols?" Feng Tang looked disdainful. "Nurhachi is not stupid. The Horqin people are used to meeting the wind and turning the rudder. As long as the Jianzhou Jurchen destroys the Ula tribe, the Horqin people will never sit still and will definitely fall to the Jianzhou Jurchen. The Yehe tribe caught between them There's a way to perish..."

Feng Tang had many spies outside the side walls. He originally thought that he was going to take over as the governor of the three sides, so he had already started to make arrangements, whether it was from the Tumets, the Ordos, or the Mughals further west and the peoples of the West Sea. In the Ministry, he has contacts, and also has scouts and informants, so all the movements are under control.

Now that the westernmost side has controlled Hami, it is definitely impossible to continue to expand the territory, but he is still sure of maintaining a stable situation. Unexpectedly, the imperial court suddenly wanted him to go to Liaodong, and it was disrupted all at once. up his plan.

"Then let Nurhachi not destroy the Ula tribe!" Feng Ziying remained calm, but her tone became more and more stern, "Support the Yehe tribe, beat the Horqin tribe, and contact the Chahar people. This is what Liaodong Town is going to do, no matter what, we have to do it!"

Feng Tang squinted at his son, and snorted softly, "It's quite easy for you to say, keep doing it? How do you keep going? Talk about soldiers on paper! You need soldiers, knives, guns and arrows, armor and food. If you want money, how much money does the imperial court have to support such a big movement? And this is not a matter of one or two years, but three, five, ten or twenty years of spending, until it collapses!"

   "The Yinzi court will find a way, but if you lose confidence, father, then Liaodong will not be able to hold on." Feng Ziying said calmly.

"Don't brag about your father so much. Your father knows how many bowls of rice he eats." Feng Tang doesn't like Feng Ziying at all. Brave, brave and decisive, your father is not as good as Liu Ting, your father only needs one word, stable! But at present, Liaodong cannot sit still by relying on the word stable, it must have the ability to break the game, so stable, like a bug bound by a spider web, It will only get tighter and tighter, and in the end there is no chance to struggle."

  Feng Ziying was quite shocked.

He has always thought that his father is a relatively mediocre military general. When he went to Liaodong, the court could not choose a suitable person, so he asked his father to resist in a temporary emergency, like Xiong Tingbi, who has been proven in the history of his previous life. It is the most suitable, of course, the timeline is still a bit early.

   But now it seems that his father has a very accurate view of the situation in Liaodong, which gives him a little more confidence.

"Father, my son doesn't think that Liaodong is as unbearable as the insects bound by spider webs you said. It is true that the situation in Liaodong is not good now, and Li Chengliang's early actions also have many last resorts, but now he has the support of the emperor and the cabinet. , my son thinks there is still a solution to the situation in Liaodong." Feng Ziying said sincerely.

   "Just a few people from Ye Hebu?" Feng Tang looked like a hawk, "Could it be that you have taken a fancy to Busia Mara? Let me tell you, any woman can be touched, but you can't touch the daughter of Bushai!"

   I recommend a friend's book, "I'm going to go against the sky if I know the plot" by 13579. If you like cities, you can read it.
