"Lord Tian, if you have something to say, Ben Hou who can help will naturally not refuse, if you can't help, don't make Ben Hou embarrassed!"

Yang Feng was very angry, Jinyiwei was the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and Tian Ergeng was the commander of Jinyiwei, once he was ordered to leave the capital, he represented the emperor, and now he actually knelt down to himself, if he let the outside know, the government and the opposition would definitely set off a climax of impeachment against him.

"Master Xie!"

Tian Ergeng's face was also blue and red, thinking that he Tian Ergeng was the commander of the dignified Jinyi Guard, when did he kneel to others except for the emperor, that is, today he really has no choice to be so out of shape, let alone just a marquis on weekdays, even if he is a prince of the country, he will not put on such a humble attitude.

"Sit down!"

Yang Feng pointed to the chair and sat down first.

"Master Hou, the lower officials are here to ask you for help!" After sitting down, Tian Ergeng's first sentence made Yang Feng slightly surprised.

After hearing Tian Ergeng say this, Yang Feng's originally somewhat lazy expression began to become solemn: "Tell me more details!" ”

"Yes!"

Tian Ergeng responded, took a deep breath and said: "Master Hou, there was a major event in the imperial court last month, the gentry of the provinces south of the Yangtze River sent a letter to His Majesty, asking the imperial court to ban the sea again, and are willing to pay an extra two million taels of silver tea tax every year for this, I don't know if you have heard?" ”

"Of course...... If Ben Hou didn't know about such a big thing, wouldn't he become deaf. Yang Feng sneered: "Those people are really willing to pay an extra two million taels of silver every year, and they don't want to see the imperial court lift the sea ban, and the silver paid is still paid in the name of tea tax." If Ben Hou is not mistaken, the tea tax paid by Zhejiang Province last year was only 16 taels, and now in the blink of an eye, those people actually made up 2 million taels of silver, are they treating His Majesty as a fool? ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Tian Ergeng also had a look of indignation: "Your Majesty was furious on the spot, and ordered the lower officials to rush to Jiangnan to investigate this matter strictly. Originally, Xia Guan thought that this matter was very simple, as long as he checked them one by one according to the names on the Book of All People, none of these people could escape, but Xia Guan was wrong...... Big mistake. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Ergeng's face showed a look of grief and indignation, and even his eyes turned red, "After receiving the order, Xia Guan immediately led five hundred brocade guards to Jiangnan, and the first stop was Shaoxing Mansion. After the official rushed to Shaoxing Mansion, Yu Shanqiu, the prefect of Shaoxing, personally went out of the city to welcome the lower officials into the city, and diligently wanted to wash the dust for the lower officials, and the lower officials agreed without thinking about it. After going to the banquet that night, Xia Guan stayed at the inn arranged by Yu Shanqiu, but he was just ...... Just ......"

Speaking of this, Tian Ergeng's tears couldn't help but finally flow, and his face was full of remorse: "Just that night, hundreds of black-clothed people took advantage of the night to kill the inn, and most of the lower officials and hundreds of brocade guards were drunk, and there was no way to resist, and the five hundred brocade guards were almost killed and wounded, and finally the lower officials escaped under the desperate escort of dozens of henchmen."

But...... This is because these people still refused to let go of Xiaguan, and chased and killed all the way, and finally Xiaguan and others fled to the seaside, found a sea boat, and then fled to the adults. Hou Ye, it is not a pity for the lower official to die, but it smashed His Majesty's mission, and the death of the lower official is not enough to absolve his blame, the lower official only hopes that Hou Ye can make the decision for the lower official, and capture those thieves, and the lower official can also explain to His Majesty even if he dies. ”

Looking at Tian Ergeng, who was crying bitterly, Yang Feng snorted coldly: "Lord Tian, you let Benhou make the decision for you?" But you don't want to think about it, how can Ben Hou make the decision for you? Ben Hou is just the governor of the southern expedition and the governor of Fujian Maritime Affairs, no matter how strong Ben Hou's ability is, he can't reach out to Zhejiang, right? ”

Tian Ergeng hurriedly said: "Master Hou doesn't have to do it himself, he only needs to lend three thousand elites to Xiaguan, and the rest of the things can be completed by Xiaguan himself." ”

"Bastard!" Yang Feng slapped the table angrily, "Do you think what the army is, and it can also be taught privately?" Believe it or not, just by virtue of your words, Ben Hou can arrest him and escort him to the capital! ”

Seeing Yang Feng angry, Tian Ergeng was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou, this matter is not a private teaching, the lower official has brought the troop transfer token and holy decree given by His Majesty, if Lord Hou doesn't believe it, you can check it!" ”

After speaking, Tian Ergeng took out a will and a token from his underwear and handed it to Yang Feng with both hands, "Master Hou, before the official left, His Majesty personally instructed the lower official, saying that this time he could go to Jiangnan to find the Hou Ye to borrow soldiers and horses before going to the provinces of Jiangnan, but the official was eager to make meritorious contributions, and wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but he forgot His Majesty's instructions, so he ...... This is a big loss, and the lower officials are sorry for Your Majesty! ”

Yang Feng took the token and checked it carefully, and then took out another token from his arms, the two tokens were so close that there were no gaps on them, it was obvious that this token was real. He looked at the will again, then nodded, and sneered at Tian Ergeng: "You haven't forgotten Your Majesty's instructions, you are too selfish, otherwise if you had come to Benhou to borrow troops earlier, why would you have fallen to this point." ”

Regarding Tian Ergeng's earlier thoughts, Yang Feng's heart was like a mirror. The reason why he didn't ask himself to borrow troops was just because he was thinking about it. With such a big credit and sharing it to others, how can it be better to have it alone, plus he thinks that with the prestige of Jinyiwei and his five hundred subordinates, no one can stop him at all, so he was calculated in Shaoxing Mansion.

Although he can understand Tian Ergeng's selfishness, he can't agree with his views. This Tian Ergeng has been in the capital for a long time, and he is so arrogant that he doesn't know how powerful those gentry have in the local area, and he thinks that he can sweep the south of the Yangtze River with five hundred brocade guards, which is really naïve.

"Tian Ergeng, Ben Hou doesn't know whether to say that you are too naïve or too stupid." Yang Feng snorted coldly: "Do you think you can go across the Yangtze River with five hundred brocade guards, stupid!" ”

When he said the word "stupid", Yang Feng's voice suddenly became louder, and he pointed at Tian Ergeng and scolded: "Do you know what kind of place Jiangnan is, it is the heavy tax land of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the most powerful place for the gentry. You Jinyi Wei may be able to use your reputation to scare some ordinary people on weekdays, but to those gentry you are a fart! Don't say it's you, even Ben Hou doesn't dare to go to Jiangnan in person with only 500 people, which onion are you? ”

Seeing Yang Feng, who was furious, Tian Ergeng was not arrogant on weekdays, but just lowered his head like a defeated rooster. In fact, Yang Feng has not said some words yet, how big is the courage of those Jiangnan gentry, these people dare to harm the emperor for the sake of the chain of interests, just Jinyiwei is a fart, this time Tian Ergeng only brought 500 people and wanted to go straight to Huanglong, this is the rhythm of finding death properly.

Tian Ergeng, who realized his mistake, didn't care about it, and lowered his head and said nothing. To tell the truth, he was also aggrieved in his heart, he couldn't have dreamed that these people in Jiangnan were so bold that they wanted to go to heaven, and even he, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, dared to harm him, this is a big crime of punishing the three clans!

Seeing Tian Ergeng, who was like a defeated rooster, Yang Feng lost his interest in scolding, and sighed lightly: "Tian Ergeng, since you have His Majesty's holy decree and the troop transfer token, this soldier Benhou can lend it to you, but have you figured out how to do it?" ”

Tian Ergeng hesitated for a moment before saying: "Master Hou, Xiaguan thinks that this matter must be inseparable from Yu Shanqiu, the prefect of Shaoxing, so Xiaguan plans to go to Shaoxing immediately after borrowing soldiers and horses, and immediately rush to Shaoxing to arrest Yu Shanqiu first, and find a breakthrough from him. ”

"Ben Hou believes this." Yang Feng nodded in agreement: "But Ben Hou is still worried, if after you lead the soldiers and horses to Shaoxing, the other party closes the city gate and does not let you enter the city, and even someone simply raises a flag to rebel, what should you do?" ”

"This ...... How is this possible? Tian Ergeng's face was incredulous, "Rebellion...... Aren't they afraid of punishing the Nine Clans? ”

Yang Feng glanced at him impatiently: "They even dare to kill you, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, doesn't this mean that they have rebelled?" ”

Tian Ergeng didn't speak, he knew very well that if a person broke through the bottom line, then the bottom line would continue to be broken, at this time he suddenly felt that he was still too much of a matter of course, he looked at Yang Feng like a helper, and asked for help: "Then what should the Hou Ye say the lower officials should do?" ”

"Hmph...... What to do? Yang Feng snorted coldly: "As the old saying goes, we should treat our own people as warm as spring, and treat our enemies as ruthless as winter!" Ben Hou thinks that if we don't move, we should mobilize all our forces to deal a devastating blow to the enemy, and we must not give the enemy a chance to breathe, otherwise it will not end well when things get bigger and bigger. ”

Tian Ergeng was a little dumbfounded, and he asked tentatively: "Then Hou Ye thinks it is appropriate to transfer how many troops to Jiangnan?" ”

Yang Feng glanced at him and stretched out three fingers lightly, "Benhou now has an army of 35,000 in Fujian, except for the 5,000 people left, the remaining 30,000 people can all be sent to Jiangnan!" ”

"All 30,000 troops were sent to Jiangnan?" Tian Ergeng was so frightened that his voice changed, "Master Hou, let's arrest people, not fight!" ”

"! Do you think this trip isn't going to war? Yang Feng glared at him impatiently and said: "Either you don't do this kind of thing, or you use all your strength to give the enemy a thunderous blow, and a hundred years of grinding and chirping like you will not be able to complete the mission given to you by Your Majesty." Do you want to do it now, can you give Ben Hou a word? ”

"I ...... I ......" Tian Ergeng stammered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth as if resigned to his fate: "That's it...... Everything depends on Hou Ye! ”
