Although I have long seen the news about the Jurchens in various newspapers, and I can also feel all kinds of things from Liaodong outside the Guanwai in my life, such as bear paws, ginseng, tiger skin, etc., but when I came to this world, Feng Ziying saw the Jurchens head-on for the first time.

The threat of the Jurchens became increasingly prominent, but from Feng Ziying's observations, the mainstream view of the imperial court still did not put the threat of the Jurchens in the first place, or at most promoted it to the second threat after the Tatars in the north, which can be seen from the fact that the governor of Xuanda was still the first governor of the Great Zhou to establish military affairs, and was still the first priority in terms of military salaries.

However, this does not mean that no one in the imperial court is aware of this, Li Chengliang's abandonment of the six forts of Kuandian and the construction of the city of the slave chief Nurhachi in Hetuara greatly stimulated the faction in the imperial court that has always been worried about the rapid expansion of the Jurchen power in Jianzhou.

The abandonment of the six forts of Kuandian made the expansion of the Jianzhou Jurchens outside the Guanguan more free and aggressive, and at the same time, it also made the lonely position of Liaodong Town increasingly prominent, and this sense of crisis had a certain impact in the imperial court, but in general, it was harassed by the Tatars from the north and the Japanese people from the sea in the east, and now the southwest direction was also unappeased, and it was difficult for the Great Zhou to spare more attention to deal with the threat from the northeast.

Of course, the most critical problem is the financial difficulties, which are fundamental problems, which have endangered the normal operation of the entire Great Zhou court, and the most affected is the military affairs.

"The Jurchens came to pay tribute again? On such a large scale? Looking at the Jurchens who were roaring away, Feng Ziying made a rough estimate, at least around 100 people.

He had the impression that the imperial court had begun to tighten the tribute of the Jurchens, and generally speaking, there would be no more than fifty people in the tribute mission, so why was this group of hundreds of people?

Feng Ziying's casual words attracted a man next to him who crossed his arms and sneered: "Hmph, what is this?" When they entered the city, they had already divided into groups and left, and if they added up, they were afraid that there would be more people. ”

"A bunch of people? How could a group of people be divided? Feng Ziying was taken aback, and at the same time looked at the man in front of her.

Around forty years old, with a knife face, and deep forehead wrinkles, it should be the reason for running around for a long time, he looks a little old, and his accent is like someone from Shaanxi, but mixed with some Liaodong accents.

"Why can't you divide a group of people? Everyone is Han from Liaodong, and there are merchants from our side, all of whom are busy selling goods,......" The smile on the man's face became more and more cold.

"Have you verified the identities of these people?" Feng Ziying didn't think it was upset, and still asked.

The man also looked Feng Ziying up and down for a long time, and then snorted lightly: "Young man, don't be nosy, and don't have any place to cause trouble for your family." ”

Feng Ziying laughed, this was an interesting person, and nodded: "Trouble? Well, I'm really not afraid of causing trouble for my father, and it's also a skill to be able to cause trouble for him. ”

Seeing Feng Ziying's mouth so hard, the knife-faced man was a little surprised, he said everything so clearly, he didn't expect the other party to be so crazy, it seems that he is also a person with some background, but after thinking about it, he is not willing to say more, after all, saying too much is not beneficial to others or himself.

Seeing that the guy turned around to leave without making a sound, Feng Ziying was reluctant, and finally ran into a person who seemed to know something about the situation in Liaodong, how could he easily let it go?

"Hey, why didn't Brother Tai leave without talking?" Feng Ziying stretched out her hand to stop the other party, "You haven't answered my question yet, I'd love to hear your answer." ”

"Hmph, it's useless for me to answer, if you really want to understand, then go to Liaodong and have a look, or just guard at Shanhaiguan, you can see it." Glancing at Feng Ziying with some contempt, one hand waved away Feng Ziying's hand, and the man wanted to leave.

Feng Ziying's hand exerted a slight force, and the other party also sensed something, and as soon as his hand was retracted and pushed, he pushed away Feng Ziying's blockade and passed sideways, but he was still a little surprised that Feng Ziying's strength was not small.

Feng Ziying didn't actually do it with all her might, but just wanted to try the other party, and felt that this man still had some strength, most of them were from the army.

"Brother Tai stays, the younger brother sincerely wants to understand the situation, if there is a chance, he should naturally report the situation to the court." Feng Ziying followed the other party and followed behind the other party.

The man's footsteps faltered, but then he continued to walk forward, "Hmph, how can the imperial court not know the reason? This is all in broad daylight, people are not afraid of this at all, and besides, isn't it also the regulation of the imperial court for the Jurchens to pay tribute? ”

"In that case, why should Brother Tai be indignant?" Feng Ziying was also not polite, and walked side by side with the other party quickly.

The knife-faced man had already realized that the young man in front of him was probably not an ordinary person, most likely a child of an official eunuch, otherwise he would not be so interested in such a situation.

But if it were the children of ordinary officials and eunuchs, they would not be so entangled, and they also mentioned the issue of verifying the identity of the departed person, which is not something that ordinary people can think of.

"It's not righteous indignation, it's just a little disappointed that the imperial court is so sloppy and negligent with such a great enemy." Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Feng Ziying, the man simply slowed down and saw what this guy wanted to do.

Feng Ziying saw him slow down, and also smiled slightly, "Slacking off is a bit slack, but if you say that you are negligent, you may not see it." Feng Ziying said slowly.

"Oh?" The knife-faced man was surprised, as if he didn't believe it, "Little brother, how do you say this?" ”

Feng Ziying stood still and arched her hand slightly: "Feng Keng Feng Ziying in Xia Qingtan Academy, I haven't asked my brother Taizun's surname yet." ”

"Liaodong Zhao led the teaching." The knife-faced man had a straight face, and he also hugged his fists and saluted.

Zhao rate teaching? Feng Ziying is a little familiar, but a little vague, she has never dealt with Liaodong, if she has some impressions, it is mostly the residual memory in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", which means that this person should be a character.

"Brother Zhao." Feng Ziying was also not polite, "The younger brother has always been very concerned about the situation in Liaodong, but there is no more news, so he takes the liberty to bother ,......"

"Although Zhao is not a scholar, but the name of Qingtan Academy Zhao still knows, I didn't expect the little brother to be from Qingtan Academy, they all say that Qingtan Academy is a model of Beidi Shilin, and dare to admonish the court, it seems that this is true." In these years, no matter who they are, they still have a lot of respect for scholars, and Qingtan Academy now has the name of the first academy in the Northland.

Not to mention anything else, there are disciples in Liaodong, Wanquan and Xuanfu in this section of Qiuqiu alone, and one of them is named Ji Zideng, who is from Liaodong, but this guy has lived in his uncle's house in Daxing since he was a child, and he has not been back to Liaodong for many years, and he knows very little about the situation in Liaodong, and he is ten years older than Feng Ziying, so he is not too familiar with Feng Ziying.

"Brother Zhao is polite, there is a sentence in the motto of Qingtan Academy, family affairs, country affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned, and we and other scholars naturally do not dare to descend, this Liaodong is related to the rise and fall of the family and the country, the younger brother heard some news two years ago, but it is only a few words, fragmentary, difficult to understand the whole picture, today I have to meet Brother Zhao, and I hope that Brother Zhao will not hesitate to teach."

Feng Ziying was not polite, and was afraid that Zhao Shujiao would not say more, so he pondered for a while before saying: "My father is Feng Tang, a Shenwu general, and is now the chief soldier of Yulin, before I took up my post, my younger brother was also worried that my father might go to Liaodong, so I also paid more attention to the situation in Liaodong, but later my father went to Yulin, but the situation in Liaodong was still concerned, so I ......"

Zhao Shujiao was taken aback, only then did he know that the person in front of him was actually the son of Feng Tang.

Zhao Shujiao was born in Jingyuwei, a Wujin warrior in the twenty-sixth year of Yuanxi, who served in Gansu Town for many years, and later transferred to Liaodong Town, and is no stranger to this nine-sided general.

The Feng family has served in Datong Town for many years, and Feng Qin, Feng Han and Feng Tang have all served as the chief soldiers of Datong Town, and they are famous in Datong.

Feng Tang stepped down as the chief soldier of Datong and returned to serve as the chief soldier of Yulin Town only three years ago, and he is now in the prime of life, and he also heard that the robe Ze of Gansu and Yulin said that this Feng general soldier is extremely powerful, and in just two years, he has completely controlled Yulin Town, which has always been the weakest and most complicated of the nine sides.

Seeing the change in Zhao Shujiao's attitude, Feng Ziying realized that his identity as a martial artist, or that the Feng family had taken root in the Nine Border Army for many years was really unusual.

Even if ordinary martial artists have a respectful attitude towards civil servants, but that is also respectful and far away, if you want to get their respect, trust and closeness, it depends on your ability as a civil official.

But I have this natural closeness relationship, and I can get a lot closer to each other at once.

The change in Zhao Shujiao's attitude also made Feng Ziying feel quite reassured, "Brother Zhao is afraid that he hasn't had dinner yet, right?" It's better for the younger brother to be the east, how about you and I conspire to get drunk? ”

Zhao Shujiao didn't expect Feng Ziying to be so bold and generous, worthy of being a disciple of Wuxun, which was even more of his appetite, and he was not polite, so he nodded generously and agreed, and his left and right stomachs were also hungry, just to disturb him.

Feng Ziying found a restaurant, and it was also the time to serve guests, so she found an elegant place, and ordered the wine and food to be served.

While waiting for the food to be served, Feng Ziying also asked why Zhao Shujiao came to the capital, only to know that Zhao Shujiao had been dismissed for two years, and he came here to find some connections and hope to seek reinstatement.

Zhao Shujiao didn't say who he was looking for, so Feng Ziying naturally wouldn't ask.

The appointment and dismissal of military generals is generally responsible for the three of the military department's military selection and clearance department, the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, and the military department, mainly the military department, and now the military department is still Xiao Daheng, who is not very in charge, the left waiter is the emperor's henchman Zhang Jingqiu, and the right waiter is Chai Ke who was transferred from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
