Chapter Ninety-One: Things Are Going Wrong
"National ...... Grandpa Guo...... No...... All right...... Something big is wrong......"
In the White Tiger Festival Hall of the Wei Mansion, a panting voice sounded at the door, attracting the attention of Cao Dazhong, Xu Hongji and Liao Yongquan, who were discussing in the hall.
"Master Zhou, what happened to be so flustered?" Seeing Zhou Xian running in such a panic, Liao Yongquan, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, immediately became unhappy in his heart, it stands to reason that this Zhou Xian is also a jinshi in the Wanli period, and he has been an official for more than ten years, how can he be so panicked in trouble, doesn't this make Cao Dazhong on the side see the joke?
After listening to Liao Yongquan's top boss, Zhou Xian slowed down, but the panic on his face did not subside because of this: "Grandpa Guo, it's not good, that Yang Feng...... Yang Feng is about to mutiny! ”
"Whoa......
As soon as Liao Yongquan's words were finished, a crackling sound sounded, and it turned out that Xu Hongji and Liao Yongquan, who were originally sitting leisurely drinking tea, one dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground, and the other jumped up in a gaffe and overturned the Taishi chair behind him to the ground.
The first to jump up was Liao Yongquan, just a few seconds, his posture of reprimanding Zhou Xian with a shelf immediately disappeared without a trace, and his face became extremely pale in an instant, only to see him tremble and say: "What, you...... You repeat! ”
Zhou Xian may have run so fast that he couldn't say anything out of breath, and there was a hint of crying in his voice: "Liao...... Lord Liao, oh no, that Yang Feng...... Yang Feng came to the city gate with his soldiers, saying that he wanted to ask for silver! ”
"Pull out the silver?"
Liao Yongquan and Xu Hongji glanced at each other and said in unison: "It's broken!" ”
These two people, one of the military department and the other is the Nanjing garrison, how don't they understand what the silver is, this is the money that the soldiers sold before they went on the expedition, who would dare to be greedy for their last money, those big-headed soldiers who only let them bully on weekdays will really play with their lives.
Liao Yongquan said in a trembling voice: "Zhou Xian, don't panic first, you tell the official first, how many people did Yang Feng bring over?" ”
"I don't know." Zhou Xian, who ran in all the way, turned pale, and his head shook like a rattle, "Xiaguan...... Xia Guan Yi doesn't know, but Xia Guan looks at their dense appearance, to say the least, there must be more than a thousand people. ”
"More than a thousand?"
Liao Yongquan, who was already frightened, felt that his legs were about to weaken, but he still mustered up the courage and said: "How is this possible, didn't you say that the Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households Office has collapsed, and there are only dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled sergeants left to support the scene, where did that Yang Feng get so many sergeants?" ”
"My lord, it's true." Zhou Xian was afraid that several adults would say that he was lying, so he said anxiously: "Xia Guan saw with his own eyes that Yang Feng was training sergeants on the school field of the Thousand Households Institute of Jiangdong Gate, densely packed, there are definitely more than a thousand people!" ”
Liao Yongquan stammered again: "That...... And what about them...... Rush...... Did you rush into the city? ”
"Nope." Zhou Xian hurriedly shook his head: "That Yang Feng led the army to the city gate and stopped advancing, and the city gate official has ordered all the city gates to be closed when he saw that the situation was not good. ”
"That's good...... That's good. As soon as he heard this, Liao Yongquan's originally pale face finally got a little better, as long as those troublesome rebels didn't enter the city, at least his life was saved.
At this time, Xu Hongji couldn't care about getting angry, turned his face to Cao Dazhong, who was sitting on the side and bowed his head to drink tea, and asked, "Father-in-law Cao, how can this Yang Feng have so many sergeants, where did he get so many people?" ”
At this time, Cao Dazhong was the most calm one, looking at the pale Liao Yongquan and Xu Hongji, who pretended to be calm, he sneered in his heart, didn't you just catch a sick sentence of our family and didn't care if it wasn't enough, but in front of our family, you kept saying that Yang Feng must personally lead the troops to the battle, now dumbfounded, right?
I saw Cao Dazhong pick up the tea lid and gently stir the tea leaves in the teacup and said lightly: "Grandpa Xu, what you said is strange, according to our family, according to the military system, the thousand households in Jiangdong Gate are the guardian barrier of Nanjing City, and there should be 1,120 sergeants, isn't it expected that Yang Feng has brought so many people over now?" ”
"Surprise fart!" Xu Hongji's face was ugly and abnormal, but he had already scolded in his heart, what kind of life the military households are living now, ten people know when this Yang Feng actually made such a big move.
Seeing that Xu Hongji didn't speak for a long time, Cao Dazhong didn't mind adding fire to them, only to see him smile and say: "Grandpa Xu, Lord Liao, as far as our family knows, when the imperial court dispatches a large army, it always has to make up for the food and salary owed by the soldiers in advance, and send the silver to the soldiers. Just now, Lord Zhou also said that Yang Qianhu took the soldiers to make trouble outside the city gate because the military department did not broadcast the silver and the salary owed over the years. ”
Hearing this, Liao Yongquan and Xu Hongji couldn't help but feel a sense of remorse in their hearts. One of them hated himself for being so cheap, in order to please Xu Hongji, he actually issued such an order in the name of the Ministry of War, and now it is okay, because the other party did not broadcast the silver and sent out the army to make trouble, if this matter is big, he will be the secretary of the Ministry of War.
Xu Hongji was different, he didn't have a trace of remorse in his heart, but hated that Yang Feng had recruited so many troops behind his back, and he was caught off guard, but he didn't expect it to come to this point. I saw him muttering for a while before he said to Cao Dazhong: "Father-in-law Cao, it is useless to talk too much about the matter, I heard that Father-in-law Cao has a good personal relationship with Yang Feng, and at this time, I have to bother Father-in-law Cao to talk to Yang Feng, so that he can return to the Qianhu Institute as soon as possible, otherwise it will provoke the anger of the court and define it as a rebellion, and it will not be good to send troops to suppress it." ”
Cao Dazhong stared at Xu Hongji with the eyes of an idiot, is this guy an idiot? I still thought that our family was the officialdom of the first day, and I actually used this trick of coaxing children to coax our family.
Seeing Cao Dazhong's eyes, Xu Hongji also blushed, and finally could only say helplessly: "Gonggong Cao, it's useless to talk more, let's go to the gate of the city and ask Yang Feng in person to see what they want to do, right?" ”
This is still like a human saying, Cao Dazhong's face looked better, and he said in a sharp voice: "Okay, let's go to the city gate and have a look." ”
