MTL - Number of People-Chapter 2595 The Guizi scroll is prepared with multiple hands, so as to win the game completely

  Chapter 2595 Guizi Juan is prepared with many hands to ensure complete victory

   After all, I still have to leave.

  After more than ten days of preparation, Feng Ziying is about to leave for the north.

  As governor of Jiliao this time, he is going north by land.

  Ji Town is the first stop.

  Jizhen Chief Soldier Yang Yuan already has some health problems. The old man in his sixties has been transferred from Datong to Jizhen Chief Soldier. This ordeal is also a test for him.

  The imperial court felt a little regretful. It should have allowed Yang Yuan to retire earlier. In this way, Yang Yuan could also go home to recuperate and live a few more years.

  The current posture, if not done well, Yang Yuan will have to die of illness and take office, which is too unreasonable, and it is too imprudent to elect a new official to take office after just changing the commander-in-chief.

   "Yang Yuan handed in his resignation letter, but he really couldn't take it anymore. The Ministry of War just received it, and he hasn't had time to report it to the cabinet yet."

   When Feng Ziying went to bid farewell to Zhang Huaichang, Zhang Huaichang mentioned this matter.

   "Misfortunes never come singly. Mr. Yang has worked hard for the country all his life. He has been sick since the end of the Japanese Invasion in Imjin, and he has been carrying it for more than ten years. It is time for him to rest and rest. The court should consider the follow-up."

  Feng Ziying also nodded.

   "I want to hear your opinion." Zhang Huaichang paused, "Zhisheng hasn't come back yet, so I also wrote to him to ask for his opinion."

   "Mr. Huaichang, I am no longer serving in the Ministry of War..." Feng Ziying scratched her head.

   "Stop talking nonsense, I'll ask for opinions in private, not to mention that you are also the governor of Jiliao. The choice of the commander-in-chief of Jizhen is very important to your next strategy of Liaodong. How dare you say that you don't take it seriously?"

  Zhang Huaichang gave Feng Ziying a sidelong glance.

"Hey, if you want to put it this way, let me recommend one. How about Qi Bingzhong? He was born as a cavalry general, and he learned how to use firearms very quickly. He is a talent. Of course, it would be great if Liu Baichuan from Jiangbei came. Henan played very well, even brother Zhisheng sent letters full of praise."

Feng Ziying thought for a while, "Actually, Ma Chengxun can also do it, but the Beijing camp has just changed hands, and I guess the court will not agree. Duke Huaichang, you and I both know that there are only a few generals who can take on important positions now, and many of them are As soon as the adjustment is in place, you can't just step into the office and then let people step down and go to the new post, right?"

  Zhang Huaichang nodded silently.

  Now there are only a few who can really take on the heavy responsibility and can stand alone.

The most trusted one is You Shigong, you can rest assured wherever you put it, followed by Liu Dongyang, who played a great role in Shanxi, Cao Wenzhao is not bad, Liu Chen has not yet proved his ability to stand alone, Xiao Ruxun, Zhao rate Jiao, Chai Guozhu, and He Shixian have rich experience and deep qualifications, but their performance is average.

Next are Mao Wenlong, Liu Baichuan, Qi Bingzhong, Ma Jinbao, He Renlong, You Shiwei, You Shilu, Duan Xirong, and Tu Wenxiu. The first two are newcomers who are also in charge of Xiaobian Town. The few people behind can only be regarded as the backbone, at most they are deputy commanders, and they have not yet reached the position of standing alone.

  Feng Tang, Niu Jizong, and Wang Ziteng are all warriors of the older generation, and they have no problem with their ability and experience, but it is absolutely impossible for the court to let them go out now.

   There is another Sun Shaozu who is not bad, but in view of his performance, the court still has some doubts about using him. Feng Ziying spent a lot of thought and can only let him be the deputy commander in Shanxi Town.

  But what Feng Ziying considered was that once Liu Dongyang wanted to come to Liaodong, then Sun Shaozu could act as the general soldier of Shanxi Town.

  The imperial court also took great pains in the use of warriors. They should not be allowed to stay in one place for too long, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Li Chengliang is a precedent, but staying too short is also a problem. If you are not familiar with the situation, you will easily lose touch and your combat effectiveness will be affected.

   "I thought you were going to recommend He Renlong and Duan Xirong." Zhang Huaichang smiled.

"He Renlong's temper has become a little more irritable, but he is also very methodical in fighting, and he is ruthless enough. If it is Shanxi, Dongjiang, Jiangbei, Denglai and other less important border towns, it is fine, but Datong, Xuanfu, Liaodong Border towns such as Jizhen and Jizhen are too important, and they have to practice for two years."

Feng Ziying's evaluation is very pertinent, "After all, Duan Xirong is a relative of my natal family. He is capable, calm and experienced. In fact, he performed well in Datong Town. He also performed very well in the position of commanding officer of the Shanxi capital. Brother Zhisheng Maybe he was recommended to Lord Huaichang? But I think it’s not suitable, and even if he wants to be promoted, he can only be a deputy commander in chief, not far from the commander in chief.”

  The Duan brothers, Duan Xirong, Duan Xitai, Duan Xisheng, and Duan Xichang all performed well.

  Duan Xirong became the commander of the Shanxi capital, and commanded the guards to cooperate with Sun Chengzong to fight well in Shanxi. Sun Chengzong had a good impression of him.

  Duan Xitai went to Ganning Town and was promoted to be a general, he became He Shixian's direct descendant, and Duan Xisheng has also been promoted to Datong's guerrilla.

   This big family is doing well in the army now, of course it must have something to do with Feng Ziying.

  Sun Chengzong did mention Duan Xirong in his letter to Zhang Huaichang, but he admired Liu Dongyang even more, thinking that Liu Dongyang was worthy of great use.

  However, if Liu Dongyang wants to take over as the chief soldier of Jizhen, even if Zhang Huaichang agrees, the cabinet will not be able to pass.

So after all the calculations, it may be that Qi Bingzhong proposed by Feng Ziying is more reliable. After all, he is also loyal. The two towns were merged and Guyuan Town was abolished, so it was delayed.

   "Well, Qi Bingzhong can consider it, but when do you plan to adjust Liaodong?" Zhang Huaichang is more concerned about Liaodong, he knows Feng Ziying's plan.

"We will try to carry out a round of adjustments in the fall of next year. Zhao Liaojiao, Juniper, and Zu's brothers may all be adjusted to the border towns of Datong and Xuanfu one after another, but it is not appropriate to complete the adjustment in one step. Safe middle-level military officers, such as guerrillas and defense officers, should be the focus of Li Yongfang's infiltration and acquisition."

  Feng Ziying talked about her own opinion: "Of course, it does not mean that all must be replaced, but part of the replacement is necessary. Everything depends on the actual situation."

   "Well, you can make up your own mind. You should also think about who you choose to go to Liaodong." Zhang Huaichang stroked his beard, "Liu Dongyang is actually very good, he is brave in battle, and he is used to sending out surprise soldiers to deal with Jianzhou Jurchen. We need such generals."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Huaichang admired Liu Dongyang so much, but Feng Ziying was quite surprised. It seemed that the guy in the First World War in Shanxi had caught the eyes of the high-level officials, but it was a pity that the Ningxia rebellion had branded him. Difficult to gain approval from the cabinet.

"Mr. Huaichang, I have this consideration. At that time, let Liu Dongyang be the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and I will be in charge of Liaodong. I think the court can rest assured. If Liu Dongyang is allowed to go to Xuanfu, Datong, or even Jizhen, I guess the court will feel uneasy. , please help me talk to Duke Liuji, Duke Daofu, and Duke Mingqi first, and I will talk to Master Qi and Guan Shi when the time comes."

Feng Ziying breathed out, "Time does not wait, we cannot give Jianzhou Jurchen too much respite, we must hold on and beat them hard, so that they can't slow down. In addition, Dongjiang Town is here. I intend to let Denglai Town do it right now." We have started to ship to Dongjiang Town, and the first battle will start from the south of Liaoning to hold off the Jianzhou Jurchen."

  Zhang Huaichang also knows the heart knot of the court princes, and it is not easy to persuade, but he still plans to work hard before resigning from office.

  He is from Liaodong, but now he can only settle in the capital city. One day he hopes that he can visit the old place of Liaodong in his lifetime, and there will be no more threats from foreign aggression.

   Having obtained the letter of approval from Zhang Huaichang, Feng Ziying was relieved. With the help of Liu Dongyang, Cao Wenzhao, Mao Wenlong and others in military preparations, Feng Ziying was confident that she no longer had to worry about anything.

   Now all that's left is logistics.

  The imperial court’s financial resources are limited, even if they try their best to support themselves, it is impossible to ignore the overall situation. Feng Ziying would rather be prepared for this point, so he summoned Shanshan, Jiangnan merchants and salt merchants.

  No one knows Liaodong's resources better than him. Whether it is coal or iron, there is no shortage in Liaodong.

The current Liaodong has all the conditions except for the small population. Feng Ziying has already surveyed the area from Anshan to Benxi. Anshan is now called Anshanyi, which itself is Dongningwei (Liaoyang)-Haizhouwei (Haicheng)-Gai On the throat of Zhouwei (Gaixian)-Jinzhouwei (Dalian), it is very close to Liaoyang.

  The population of Liaodong is small, but the population near Liaoyang is relatively dense. Of course, there are mainly soldiers and family members here.

Feng Ziying's idea is to carry out construction and layout along the line of Liaoyang, Anshanyi, Haizhou to Liaohekou and Jinzhouwei. Whether it is Shanxi, Hebei, or Henan, the captives of the rioters will be directly transported to Liaodong. The method is to relocate part of the people from Shandong, so that the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula will be built into an industrial and agricultural base for the development of Liaodong in the future.

  The mining of coal and iron resources in Anshan has been negotiated with the Shanshan Chamber of Commerce, Jiangnan merchants, and salt. Under the temptation of guaranteeing resources, production capacity and sales will reach or even surpass the Gyeonggi coal and iron complex, no businessman can refuse.

Feng Ziying even clearly proposed to build a railway track from Liaoyang-Anshanyi-Haizhouwei-Niuzhuang. This is a railway with a length of 200 miles. At that time, the materials from the south can be landed at Niuzhuang Wharf and will be transported by horse-drawn trains. , It can be directly transported to Liaoyang in one day and one night, which will be five times faster than the current land or water route, and the transportation cost will also be greatly reduced.

  And this railway alone requires a huge amount of iron, which is enough to digest the production capacity of the Anshan coal-iron complex within one or two years.

  Feng Ziying even showed the merchants her hand-painted sketches of railroad tracks and sleepers, which also caused great shock among the merchants.

  This is much bolder than some of the original designs in Yong Peng.
