Chapter 163: People and Money
At this time, Peng Feng suddenly said: "Report to Your Majesty, the young master intends to cancel the guard."
"What?"
"What?"
Emperor Longqing and Xu Wei spoke at the same time and looked at each other. The former saw the confusion in Xu Wei's eyes, while the latter discovered the vigilance in Emperor Longqing's eyes.
The Qian family guards were famous many years ago in Zhejiang, Susong, Fujian, Jiangxi and even Guangdong. After joining Qian Yuan, they were also quite famous in the capital.
Emperor Longqing was alert to Gao Gong's private reminder that Qian Yuan would scatter a large number of guards among the southeast army to control the army. Although Emperor Longqing had quite objections to this, he did not want to see Qian Yuan continue to do so.
In fact, although there are only two guerrilla-level generals and officers of Yang Wen and Zhang Yishan, there are many grassroots officers such as commanders, captains, and deputy captains. These are the key points. Emperor Longqing and Gao Gong, who are in high positions, naturally cannot see this.
"Revoke the guard team?" Xu Wei uttered, "He Qian Zhancai has enemies all over the world, and there is no guard... Maybe one day he will fall from Yan Donglou..."
"Shut up!" Emperor Longqing scolded angrily and amusedly, "Peng Feng, Zhan Cai is willing to let you go too? Last year, he refused to give it to him."
Peng Feng said honestly: "Most of them are in business. Over the years, the guards have saved some silver. Some are preparing to open shops, some are preparing to open restaurants and inns, and some are preparing to run a sea boat. Zhou Ze is preparing to run a sea. Only Liang Sheng stays with the young master, the villain... The young master said that Tan Qizhi is seriously injured at present, so he asked the villain to form a fleet..."
Emperor Longqing immediately felt relieved and said with a smile: "Zhancai is generous, can he have any insights in forming a fleet?"
"Select sea ships from the captured Fujian-Guangdong maritime pirates." Peng Fengjiu is true and false, "In addition, the young master sent a navy to raid Zhang Lian's nest, and there should be seized, and about twenty sea ships were planned."
Twenty large ships were larger than before, and Emperor Longqing couldn't help but be happy. "Last year, the guards were rewarded, and I wanted to give them more rewards, but Zhan Cai was still unwilling to... Peng Feng, awarded the title of Jinyiwei, and led the fleet."
Peng Feng was stunned for a moment, knelt down and thanked him, and then said, "Young Master, please send someone south to take over the fleet."
"this……"
Emperor Longqing was still hesitating, and Xu Wei interrupted, "Your Majesty's confidant must do this. Chen Hong, the Chief of the Qualifications, will definitely be able to take on this important task!"
Chen Hong, who was beside him, swallowed and cursed in his heart, saying that our eunuchs are revenge, and you, Xu Wenchang, are even more cruel than eunuchs, and you will be revenge before you can turn around.
Seeing Xu Wei's indifferent expression, Emperor Longqing coughed twice and had a headache. This guy was even more vengeful than Qian Yuan.
After leaving Xiyuan and returning to Suiyuan, Xu Wei grabbed Peng Feng and asked clearly, and roughly figured out the situation in the southeast.
"Wang Bengu was not mentioned in the memorial, nor did Wang Bengu not mention in the private secret letter..." Xu Wei murmured: "Zhan Cai has really changed his temperament and wants to be a good person?"
Peng Feng did not go to the island, he didn't know the inside story, so he just shook his head and said he was not very clear.
After sending Peng Feng away, Xu Wei frowned and thought, "Last time I let Wang Bengu go, but I was bitten back... Don't you have a memory?"
"It shouldn't..."
Xu Wei is almost certain that Qian Yuan has a backup plan, which is in line with this guy's style of doing things.
At this time, Sun Yan, Chen Younian, Zhu Dashou and Wu Dui came together. As soon as he entered the door, Chen Younian asked loudly: "I heard from Brother Junze that there is good news in the southeast, and the war has really begun?"
"Wang Zhi's internal strife, Zhang Lian took advantage of the situation to rob him." Xu Wei replied with a smile: "Zhan Cai led the guards to attack and captured Zhang Lian alive. Wang Zhi was not dead, so the southeast would not be in chaos."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief. They were all from Shaoxing Prefecture. Once war broke out in the southeast, Shaoxing Prefecture would be next to Ningbo Prefecture and would be the first to bear the brunt.
Zhu Dashou praised: "Zhancai went south three times, either turning the tide or reaching the southeast, which is actually a talent for the country."
Xu Wei talked a little bit nonsense. He had just asked Peng Feng in detail. Qian Yuan went south this time and moved frequently. Although he had the power to control the army, he first entered the camp alone to surrender Lu Bin and transferred Qi Jimei to Zhenhai. He was too domineering. The key is that there was a Gao Gong in the capital who was very vigilant about Qian Yuan's military power.
"Zhancai will not return to Beijing for the time being." Xu Wei whispered: "Reopening the trade and forming a royal fleet will not be completed in a short while."
Sun Feng nodded and said, "It's not important, this time, the Beijing inspection will not involve Suiyuan."
"Um?"
"Uncle Zhang, Lu and Sheng have already found Chaoyang." Sun Yan smiled and said, "Now Gao Xinzheng and Xu Huating are sharpening their knives, and no one wants to involve Suiyuan again."
Xu Wei was silent for a moment and shook his head and said, "They don't want to... but Suiyuan may not be able to get involved in Beijing."
"If Gao Xinzheng wins, although this person is hostile to Suiyuan, he is worried about the country and implements the new policy..."
"But if Huating wins, you should know that he is not hostile to Suiyuan, but hates Suiyuan. If Gao Xinzheng loses, the next one will definitely be Suiyuan."
Xu Wei felt more and more that Qian Yuan's judgment on the situation in Beijing before he went south was likely to become a fact... There is no way, this is the golden finger of the time traveler. Although history has shifted, at some point, history will show its inertia.
At the door of the backyard, Peng Feng, who had always been calm, was saying something to the young woman with a grievance.
"Just just a word of verbal message, I want to call so much money?!"
"Who knows if you will fly away with money!"
"Sister-in-law, it's really what the young master told me." Peng Feng forced a smile, "Anyway, I have a message, so let the young lady make the decision."
Qingwen snorted and turned her head and left. Peng Feng could only wait behind. Qingwen was the young lady's maid and Zhou Ze's wife. It was Zhou Ze who taught her to join the guard back then.
Qingwen entered the side room of the backyard and suddenly accelerated her pace. She snatched the watermelon from Xiaoqi, "Miss, this melon has been frozen. You have a body now and can't eat it!"
Xiaoqi stretched out his hand pitifully, "It's cut open, and if you don't eat it, it will be broken..."
"It's really not possible to give it to the old lady. I'll help the lady eat it." Qingwen smiled and ate the watermelon in a few bites, and helped Xiaoqi sit down. "Peng Feng has returned to Beijing and brought a message to raise a large amount of money from the account to go south. It's too big a matter... Do you want to ask the old lady?"
"What message?"
"Is there any such cat?"
"Garfield." Xiaoqi tilted his head and smiled constantly, "Okay, okay, let him adjust the money, it won't matter."
This time, the southward journey was an accident, and what surprised Qian Yuan even more was that Wang Zhi was rebelled by his subordinates and his strength was greatly damaged.
Qian Yuan temporarily made plans ahead of time. Now he needs to extend his influence or his hands further and bury them deeper.
To achieve the goal, one is people and the other is money.
