Chapter 115: Wu Zhenliang's Request
The banquet ended, and as everyone spread the word of mouth, Yang Feng's name and the song "Han Zhongjun" also spread in Zhenjiang Mansion, and there was a trend of rapid expansion.
With the increase of Yang Feng's fame, the conflict between him and Gong Daxian that night also began to spread rapidly, after all, there are few new things in this era of poor information, and what the common people can talk about all day long is the short of the parents, and now it is rare that there is a new and exciting thing that cannot be blown, and the new thousand households and their garrison adults fought on the spot, such a new thing is rare to encounter for decades, and the heat of this matter may not be able to be lowered in a few months.
By word of mouth, the events of that night not only fermented in Zhenjiang Mansion, but also spread rapidly to the surrounding areas such as Nanjing, Liyang, Changzhou, Yangzhou and other places.
Regarding Yang Feng's beating of Gong Daxian, although some people openly criticized Yang Feng for being too arrogant and openly beating his colleagues for being too arrogant, after all, Gong Daxian is also the garrison of Zhenjiang Mansion, and he also has merit in defending the city a few days ago, no matter how he is, he can't beat people.
But most people are on Yang Feng's side, first of all, the two of them are five-grade military attachés, isn't it normal for military attachés to fight, when will military attachés also follow the same path as civil officials, and if they don't do anything, that's the trouble.
Moreover, Gong Daxian first wanted to grab the first rank, and then failed to grab the first rank, and provoked Yang Feng to compose a poem at the banquet, and Yang Feng moved his hand in anger. The most important thing is that Yang Feng just saved you, it's okay if you are not grateful, you turned around and wanted to take credit from the life-saving benefactor, how can such a character be convincing, this is the most despised.
The next day, Wu Zhenliang also invited Yang Feng to the government office to tell him about this matter, and told everyone that peace should be valued as ministers in the same palace, and this matter should not be caused again.
Seeing that Yang Feng was a little unconcerned, Wu Zhenliang felt that his head hurt a little. One of him and Gong Daxian likes to grab power and has a small amount of energy, and the other does not rub sand in his eyes and likes to speak with his fists, but as the supreme governor of Zhenjiang Mansion, he has to make peace between the two.
To be honest, Wu Zhenliang hates to do such a thing, as the supreme governor of Zhenjiang Mansion, what he hopes for is stability. If it had been changed, he would have taught Yang Feng a hard lesson a long time ago, who gave you the courage to make you an outsider so arrogant. However, now is an extraordinary period, the Japanese around Zhenjiang Mansion have not been cleared up, if Yang Feng is really offended, he directly summoned the soldiers and horses to return to Nanjing, where can he find such a soldier and horse to fight.
However, Yang Feng's next move also made Wu Zhenliang feel a little surprised, Yang Feng actually took the initiative to agree to give up 500 pieces of the head of the Japanese Kou to Wu Zhenliang, Gong Daxian and other officials of Zhenjiang Mansion.
"Lord Yang, are you serious?"
In the signing room of the prefect's government office in Zhenjiang City, Wu Zhenliang looked at Yang Feng sitting in front of him in surprise.
Today's Yang Feng did not wear armor, but wore a green robe, with a lifelike flying bear on his chest, and a pair of thick-soled official boots on his feet, coupled with his tall figure, he looked like he was full of energy.
"Exactly!"
Yang Feng Zhengse said: "This time the lower officials were able to make a meritorious contribution thanks to Lord Wu and the soldiers of Zhenjiang Mansion, which persisted until the arrival of the lower officials, otherwise if the Zhenjiang Mansion fell before the arrival of the lower officials, the lower officials would be in vain even if they had great ability, and the great victory of Lord Wu and the soldiers of Zhenjiang Mansion also had half the credit, as for Gong Garrison......"
Speaking of this, Yang Feng pondered for a while before saying: "As for Gong Garrison, he was also meritorious in the first city that day, and he had a conflict with Xiaguan yesterday, but this cannot erase his merits. ”
"That's a great thing!" Wu Zhenliang praised, "Yang Qianhu really has the demeanor of a general, so the official has thanked Yang Qianhu for Gong Shoubei!" ”
"Lord Wu is polite." Yang Feng nodded, seeing Wu Zhenliang's unconcealable joy, he also secretly said in his heart that today's trip was the right one.
It is also interesting to say that although the late Ming Dynasty was a noble and lowly military, it was very important to military merits. According to the calculation of military merits at this time, if the sergeant alone beheads a head, he can be promoted to the first level or rewarded with thirty taels of silver, but here it is talking about the head of the golden tartar after the capture, and the head of the Mongolian tartar is reduced by one grade, and the Japanese are reduced by one grade, but despite this, the five hundred heads are also quite considerable.
Of course, Wu Zhenliang is a civil official, so naturally he can't be counted like this, and he didn't personally kill the Japanese invaders, but as the highest governor of Zhenjiang Mansion, he can command his subordinates to kill so many heads, which is very important for the assessment of the officials in the coming year.
That's not all, five hundred heads can be used to do a lot of favors, whether it is assigned to the officials below to win people's hearts or sell favors, it is very good, and it is also very beneficial to strengthen his authority, which is why Wu Zhenliang is so happy.
Wu Zhenliang, who had received the benefits, was in a much better mood, and he brushed his beard and asked, "Yang Qianhu, I don't know if you have a table?" ”
Yang Feng was stunned at first, he didn't expect Wu Zhenliang's thinking to be so out-of-the-box, and he actually cared about his expression.
Honestly shook his head: "There is Lord Lao's concern, and the lower officials have never expressed their words." ”
"It's not going to work." Wu Zhenliang said with a smile: "Yang Qianhu used to be a businessman in Nanyang Luzon for a long time, and it is forgivable that he did not have a table word, but now that you are already a Ming official, how can you not have a table word, if you don't dislike it, this official can give you a table word, what do you think?" ”
"Words?"
Yang Feng looked at Wu Zhenliang's smiling expression, he knew that this was Wu Zhenliang expressing his gratitude for the credit he had given him.
Yang Feng, who originally grew up in modern society, is not very interested in this kind of thing, but since he wants to mix in this era, he can't be too maverick, since people want to name themselves, then let it be.
Thinking of this, Yang Feng nodded disappreciatively: "Thanks to Lord Wu's wrong love, the lower official has thanked me." ”
"Hmm......"
Wu Zhenliang saw that Yang Feng agreed, the smile on his face became even bigger, he thought for a while before saying: "Now that my Ming Dynasty is in danger, the imperial court is the time to employ people, Yang Qianhu is brave and good at fighting, and last night made such a popular military song of the Han Dynasty, which shows your loyalty to the country and the people." In this way, since you respect the Western Han Dynasty so much, this official will take the table word Zhongqing for you, what do you think? ”
Zhong Qing ...... Yang Zhongqing? ”
Yang Feng muttered twice, and had some doubts in his heart, what does this word have to do with the Han Dynasty?
Seeing the puzzled look on Yang Feng's face, Wu Zhenliang said with a smile: "It seems that Yang Qianhu still doesn't know the origin of Zhongqing's expression, and the expression of the Han Dynasty general Wei Qing is Zhongqing." ”
"What?"
Yang Feng was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can this make it, how dare Xia Guan compare with General Wei." ”
Wu Zhenliang smiled disapprovingly: "Yang Qianhu, why should you be humble, this official watched you on the battlefield yesterday to kill the enemy bravely and unstoppable, what is the difference between high and low in the same service for the country, this official took the word Zhongqing for you, that is, I hope you can fight for the country like the Marquis of Changping (Wei Qing), and leave a name in history." ”
Although he knew that Wu Zhenliang was using such a small favor to envelop himself, Yang Feng was actually not disgusted in his heart. He has been in society for many years, and he knows very well that there is no shame in being co-opted and bought by others, and what a person is most afraid of is that he does not even have the value of being co-opted by others, which is the saddest. Zhong Qing is Zhong Qing, this table is actually quite good.
Thinking of this, Yang Feng stood up and bowed solemnly to Wu Zhenliang: "Your Excellency, thank you!" ”
"Good...... All right! ”
Seeing that Yang Feng accepted the words he gave him, Wu Zhenliang was also very happy, he laughed and took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to him, "Today is your good day, and the official has no gifts to give." This jade pendant is a piece of jade dancer worn by Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan in the past year, which was inadvertently obtained by this official in the past, and it will be given to you today. ”
Yang Feng took the jade dancer, took a closer look, and found that the appearance of this jade pendant was very warm and sleek, and it looked very comfortable. It was only half the size of a palm and was carved into the shape of a woman, and a few words were written on the back of this woman's back, but what made Yang Feng blush a little was that he couldn't understand the meaning of these words.
For fear of being rude, Yang Feng just took a quick look at it and put it away, and thanked Wu Zhenliang again.
After taking the table word, the relationship between the two parties naturally became much closer.
The smile on Wu Zhenliang's face became more kind, but Yang Feng looked at the smile on his face and felt that he always felt that this guy had a feeling of bad intentions.
Sure enough, Yang Feng's hunch soon came true.
"Zhongqing, the old man invited you over today to inquire about something, and I hope Zhongqing will give me advice."
Get...... Even Zhong Qing shouted out the word "table", what else could Yang Feng say.
Yang Feng smiled bitterly: "My lord, please speak, the lower officials should know everything and say everything." ”
"Good!"
Wu Zhenliang nodded: "This official wants to know, when Zhong Qing will be able to clean up the thieves around Zhenjiang Mansion, so that the people and gentry of Zhenjiang Mansion can live and work in peace and contentment?" ”
"That's right."
Hearing this, Yang Feng understood in his heart, the emotion of Wu Zhenliang today is to send things and help with the words, it turns out that he wants to urge us to work. However, Yang Feng was not angry, Wu Zhenliang's mind also understood, such an army of thousands of people was stationed here, and he had to be served with good wine and meat every day, so the daily expenses would be too great. After a long time, it will become a heavy burden for Zhenjiang Mansion, and only by exterminating the nearby Japanese invaders as soon as possible can they send their group of masters away.
Thinking of this, Yang Feng said very simply: "Lord Wu, don't worry, Xiaguan will start to go out of the city tomorrow to start clearing the surrounding thieves, and return Zhenjiang Mansion to a sunny day!" ”
