Chapter 162: Conspiracy (II)

"Oh......"

Xu Hongji put down the wine glass in his hand and stared at Lu Jianshen, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

"Why did Lord Lu say that?"

Seeing that Xu Hongji and the others still looked unaware, Lu Jianshen said unhappily: "Why should Grandpa Guo pretend to be confused with his subordinates, thinking that Yang Feng is ambitious, and since this year, he has wantonly gathered the displaced people to try to restore the strength of the guard, if Grandpa Guo does not know, it will be a joke." ”

Xu Hongji, Zhang Weixian, and Liao Yongquan glanced at each other, an embarrassed look appeared on their faces, and then they snorted: "Lord Lu is serious, although this duke is in charge of Nanjing soldiers and horses as a garrison in Nanjing, but Yang Feng is subordinate to the guard, but it is not under the jurisdiction of this duke, so Lord Lu's words are indeed wronged by this duke." ”

Everyone just talked to themselves, but they didn't notice that Zheng Toniang, who was sitting on the side pouring wine for everyone, was slightly shocked with her slender jade hand holding the wine jug, and a few drops of wine were on the table, but a few people at the table didn't notice her strange appearance, and she didn't sit back on her seat after she finished pouring wine for everyone, but no one noticed that Haotou, who was always looking at the same level, became a little lowered, and his eyes flickered and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Jianshen sneered: "Grandpa Xu, it's not interesting for you to say that, you can't manage the guard, can't Master Liao, who is the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, also take care of it?" As long as Lord Liao gives an order, this Yang Feng has to be obedient no matter how powerful he is, right? ”

Seeing that Lu Jianshen, a seven-grade imperial historian, dared to speak to Xu Hongji like this, Zhang Weixian's brows were furrowed, he was about to speak, but he saw Xu Hongji looking at himself with a smile, but he shook his head slightly to signal him to be calm, and seeing Xu Hongji's gaze, Zhang Weixian swallowed back what he was about to say.

Zhang Weixian didn't speak, but Liao Yongquan on the side couldn't help but speak: "Lord Lu, this official knows that you are the imperial history, and it is your duty to hear about it, but this official has to remind you that local affairs are different from those in the court." Although this official has the responsibility of governing the guard, but today's Jiang Ningwei has long been under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, you must know that any transfer involving more than 1,000 households must be approved by the emperor to use the seal to be effective, and the only thing that the Ministry of War can manage is to stop paying his salary, but do you think that Yang Fengfeng, who is now capable of supporting tens of thousands of displaced people, cares about that amount of food? And he has the support of Cao Dazhong, the eunuch of Nanjing, even if he doesn't listen to the dispatch, how can he bear him? ”

Hearing this, Lu Jianshen was also dumbfounded. Although he is an imperial historian, he has often heard about the military affairs of the imperial court. Today's Daming guard system has long since collapsed, and the government and even the imperial court in various places regard the guard as a heavy burden, but the guard system was formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, and it is related to the huge interests of countless officers in the guard, and no one dares to revoke it lightly, so they can only take out a part of the food and salary from the already stretched finances of the court every month and allocate it to the guard, and let them hang like this.

To put it bluntly, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the guards had long since become a bunch of parasites and a mess of stinky shit, but as long as there was a little political vision and wisdom, officials would not take the initiative to contact the guards and their officers. Last time, Liao Yongquan took the initiative to use the right of the military book to send Yang Feng to lead the military households of the Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households to Zhenjiang Mansion to deal with the Japanese Invaders, although Yang Feng was ordered to go, but in order to mobilize this army, Liao Yongquan had to use his connections to allocate a large number of food and equipment to Yang Feng, otherwise where would Yang Feng lead the army to Zhenjiang Mansion to deal with the Japanese Invaders so happily.

It stands to reason that it would be fine if Yang Feng could be killed with the help of the hands of the Japanese Kou, but Yang Feng not only did not die, but made great achievements and was promoted to the commander of Jiang Ningwei, which made Liao Yongquan and Xu Hongji and others as disgusting as swallowing a fly, but although they hated it so much, they had no good way to take Yang Feng, so they could only let him jump under their noses like this. But now Lu Jianshen accused him of not handling Yang Feng's affairs well, no matter how good Liao Yongquan's temper was, he couldn't bear it, so he didn't want to think about it when he heard it.

Lu Jianshen, who was pushed up, was a little speechless, if he said that he would not lose to anyone, but if he picked up his understanding of the situation between the DPRK and China and the management of local affairs, he would not be as good as these magistrates.

Who has seen a blue breath on his face, took a deep breath, and Lu Jianshen sneered again: "But do you adults know that Yang Feng has already had a rebellion?" ”

"Dangchang!"

A crisp sound sounded, it turned out that the wine jug in Zheng Tuoniang's hand fell to the ground, and the clear wine flowed out of the jug, and a faint aroma of wine suddenly floated in the painting boat. Zheng Tuoniang, who was a little flustered, hurriedly leaned over and picked up the wine jug, bowed down and said softly to everyone: "You adults are really sorry, I just heard what this adult said, Tuo Niang is really afraid of Jin, so I am rude for a while, and I hope that your adults Haihan!" ”

Xu Hongji and the others didn't speak, but Lu Jianshen laughed, he stared at Zheng Toniang, who was discolored, several times and laughed: "Zheng, you don't have to panic, although Yang Feng has already rebelled, but what big waves can a mere commander set off, as long as he dares to show a trace of bad intentions, my big tomorrow soldiers will come at night, and he will be pacified in a hurry, and then he will only be escorted to the vegetable market to ask for the end of the knife, hahaha......"

Looking at Lu Jianshen who was looking up and laughing, Xu Hongji, Zhang Weixian, Huo Ke and Liao Yongquan also smiled in agreement, but the disdain in their eyes couldn't be concealed

Is it a wise choice for a guy to work together?

However, since things have come to this point, it is naturally impossible to retreat. Xu Hongji and the others glanced at each other, and finally Xu Hongji said: "Lord Lu, since we are sitting together today, it is to curb the ambition of Yang Fengci's thief, we already know about the evil deeds he committed a few days ago, as my Ming military attachΓ©, he dared to openly kill the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and openly beat the Qincha, this viciousness is no different from rebellion, and the imperial court will definitely severely punish these evil deeds, and the most likely thing is to send us to send troops to exterminate this fang." But we must also know that although this person is arrogant and has no one in his eyes, the military horses under his command do have a certain combat power, and how to defeat his soldiers and horses as quickly as possible has become the most urgent problem that we need to consider at present. ”

Xu Hongji talked about everything, without the slightest scruple about Zheng Tuoniang, who was sitting on the side pouring wine for them. This is not that Xu Hongji and they don't have a concept of secrecy, but in their opinion, Zheng Toniang and the singer and Yang Feng of this boat are people from two worlds, and the two sides have no intersection at all, so there is no possibility of leaking secrets.
