After a while, she turned around, holding the bow of the boat, and looked at the awning boat drifting quietly in the drizzle. Her clothes were flapping against the side of the boat, her voice was monotonous and long, her eyebrows were wet, and her eyes were wet. It was as wet as rain, like the rain weaving horizontally and vertically on the river that night, smearing the heaven and earth desolate and desolate.
The awning boat is so close that it seems within reach, but her eyes are far away, so far away that through the quiet rain curtain, she can see those fierce warriors in the future, blood dancing in the country, and sharp weapons clashing in the red fire. There was a loud sound, and the brilliant golden light flew away.
After a while she closed her eyes and made a gesture of sailing.
The big ship quietly crossed the river, pulling its heavy figure away from the quiet awning boat. In the wandering shadow, the water was full of light, sending the big ship farther and farther, turning into a darker color in the sky. .
The wind was howling from all sides, but Feng Zhiwei never looked back. Zong Chen asked quietly from behind her: "But you are cold? Can I make you some... soup?"
After a period of silence, Feng Zhiwei slowly replied: "Okay, please."
At the beginning of the seventeenth year of Changxi, just a few months after Feng Zhiwei took office as the chief envoy of Jianghuai Road, the Changning clan united with Xiliang and launched a long-awaited claw against Tiansheng - the seventeenth year of Changxi In March, Changning swore an oath in Puzhou, and his troops marched directly to seven states and thirteen counties in northern Longxi and southern Fujian. At the same time, Xiliang sent troops to the border and also made a posture of launching troops against southern Fujian. Emperor Tiansheng urgently dispatched troops to the south The army responded to the battle, and with the Seventh Prince as the supervisor, they went to southern Fujian and Longbei to supervise the battle. Southern Fujian, which had just experienced the war a few years ago, was once again plunged into blood and fire.
In fact, Changning has been preparing to rebel for many years. After Changxi formed an alliance with Xiliang in the 15th year, it was planned to start the rebellion at the beginning of the 16th year. However, there was a delay in Xiliang due to the change of political power. This was actually the result of Feng Zhi Wei means that she made an agreement with Lu Rui not to put it on paper before leaving Xiliang. After all, Emperor Tiansheng once asked her to pay attention to Changning's movements when she was on a mission to Xiliang. Changning and Xiliang were crucial. She did not repay the imperial court for forming an alliance. If Changning started an uprising immediately after her return, she would inevitably be held accountable. Lu Rui and Lu Zhiyan were also smart people, and they guessed from Feng Zhiwei's behavior of not reporting what she knew. In his mind, he was happy to fish in troubled waters, while Tiansheng was calmly paralyzed. Changning was still asking for the young prince to come to Beijing to meet Emperor Tiansheng, while quietly expanding the army to prepare for war, and when the time was right, he made a move.
When the war started, when the military generals were doing their best, Hua Qiong, who served in southern Fujian, naturally stood out. This female general was as brave as the men. She often took off her armor and charged first on the battlefield. The female soldiers under her command were inspired by the general's blood and started to kill. The men are far more ferocious than the male soldiers. The folk customs in southern Fujian are inherently strong, but the status of women is extremely low. Most of the women who join the army have miserable life experiences and are trampled on. They all fight desperately on the battlefield, and they are invincible with one against ten. The Fire Phoenix Army Quickly becoming famous all over the world, Hua Qiong quickly accumulated military merit and was promoted to the third rank of a powerful general.
As the war broke out, a group of Huofeng scattered veterans who were originally in Xiliang secretly crossed the border to return to the country and asked to serve the country. General Minnan reported the matter to the court. Emperor Tiansheng was very pleased. He never thought of these veterans who had been living abroad for many years. Tiansheng soldiers, still passionate and loyal at critical moments, immediately allowed these old Huofeng troops to be assigned to Hua Qiong Huofeng, regardless of their number, and made an exception by appointing Qi Shaojun, a descendant of the old Huofeng tribe who had repeatedly made military exploits as soon as he entered the battlefield, as a military officer. General, the old emperor only focused on being happy and forgot to ask how many people there were in these old troops - under Hua Qiong's command, people continued to join the army. The total number of male and female battalions exceeded 50,000 and was still growing. More importantly, Huofeng Almost everyone in the army is extremely tough, especially the less advanced male soldiers. They are like born elite soldiers. They are skilled in battle formations, good at riding and shooting, and their individual combat ability and group cooperation ability are world-class. They are not like those who have been in exile in other countries for many years. The lost veterans who have been working hard for a long time are like well-trained elites who are ready to fight every day. This kind of fierce combat power is very eye-catching. Fortunately, Hua Qiong does not like to take credit. The Fire Phoenix Army After all, the majority of women are women and are easily squeezed out by male generals. She is not angry either. Just like Feng Zhiwei back then, she engages in guerrilla warfare on local battlefields, picking up unimportant but useful jobs such as harassing enemy lines and luring them into ambushes. , she was leisurely and contented, but she couldn't help but hold back the screams of the strong men and women under her command. Whenever this happened, General Hua would mysteriously wag his fingers and say: "No hurry, no rush, there is always a place for you to use your skills." Then he put his hands behind his back. Hehehe smiled and looked at the clouds in the sky ahead.
When the war in the south was raging, Feng Zhiwei was still leisurely serving as her chief envoy to the Jianghuai River. The first major event in taking office was the dredging of the Beijing-Huaihe Canal. Because the war was in full swing, a large amount of treasury money was used for military expenses, and the prosperous Jianghuai River returned Having taken on the task of collecting most of the military rations, money for the huge Beijing-Huai Canal project was suddenly a little tight. At this time, we couldn't ask for money from the country. Whether Feng Zhiwei's merit examination report this year is outstanding or excellent depends on whether it can be done. Well done.
Ning Yi often goes to Jianghuai, but as a prince, according to the rules, it is not easy to directly intervene in the affairs of various government affairs. He has also been very busy and does not live in Jianghuai Mansion. He lives nearby in Baizhou, which is on the side of the canal. We are about a hundred miles apart from Feng Zhiwei. We occasionally see each other, but they come and go in a hurry. He seems to have something on his mind, but he always avoids talking about it. Feng Zhiwei doesn't ask, but the follower guard Ning Cheng has one time intentionally or unintentionally. He muttered: "The Seventh Prince has just given birth to a son, and there are old ministers in the court who are worrying about His Highness. It makes no sense not to accept a concubine now. Mr. Xin even told Your Highness a few days ago that he will never marry and have children." , How can he have a place in this great position? Just one sentence, 'The king of Chu is weak and may have no heirs,' can kill him as the crown prince... Sigh... The emperor is not in a hurry, but the **** is..." said Eunuch Ning. Then he leisurely walked away with his hands behind his back, leaving Feng Zhiwei standing in the shadow of the front door, posing in a farewell gesture, stunned for a long time.
But there are some things that cannot be worried about. If Ning Yi doesn't say anything, Feng Zhiwei can only pretend that she doesn't know. She is busy looking for money everywhere. Wealthy, rich families gather here, and these big business owners have a little money leaking from their fingers, which adds up to a considerable number. However, most of the people who have always been able to make a fortune are better at keeping money. As the name of "happy donation" continues, the prefects and prefects of various prefectures and counties frequently treat guests to drinks. Tea, those people were full of gratitude for the country's generous donation. In the end, they only collected a few hundred thousand taels, which was just a drop in the bucket. When the amount was reported, Feng Zhi smiled.
