Chapter 68: Protecting the Calf
"Haha, big brother is too polite..."Since returning from outside the city and seeing more than three hundred Don hippos. Wang Feng kept laughing.
"Young Master, have you really thought about rebuilding the Heavy Armor Iron Horse?" When Wang Feng proposed the idea of establishing a heavy armored iron cavalry, his two major advisors expressed their opposition, and their objections were that the heavy armored iron cavalry was flashy and too expensive.
"Young master, I thought that the heavy armor iron cavalry was too heavy, and it cost a lot, and the southern water network was not conducive to the cavalry, let alone the heavy armored iron cavalry, this is simply a useless place for heroes! I'm about to beg for silver taels like the young master, how can I have the money to add heavy armor and iron horses! Young master, think twice!" Yao Sixiao, who has been busy with the construction of the farm, also stepped forward to advise. In his and Bai Wenxuan's hearts, they couldn't figure out Wang Feng's plan for heavy armor and iron cavalry.
Seeing the two strategists around him oppose him together, Wang Feng was not surprised. It's normal for people in this world to oppose his plans. Wang Feng stood up and didn't speak for a long time.
"Wenxuan, Sixiao. The Tartars have already installed Huang Taiji as the new Great Khan, and soon he will send troops to the Guannei, do you know?" I stood for a long time. Wang Feng suddenly came up with such a sentence.
Although he didn't know what his young master meant, Bai Wenxuan still answered honestly.
"There is another drought in the northwest this year, and I heard that the displaced people there have started to make trouble again! Now there is a leader named Gao Yingxiang, who is known as King Chuang, who is making a lot of trouble in the northwest, and even Hu Tingyan, the governor of Shaanxi, has been beaten by them to the point of losing his armor. forced the emperor to send Yang He to be the governor of the three sides. Have you heard of this?" Wang Feng asked another clueless question.
Some time ago, Bai Wenxuan and Wang Feng heard about this when they were deliberating. So Bai Wenxuan also nodded.
"Then you all tell me which one is the greatest threat to my Ming Dynasty? Is it the Tartars outside the Guanxi or the Liukou in the northwest?" Wang Feng threw out another question that seemed ridiculous.
"Young master, this should be an obvious matter! No matter how strong the Liukou is, it's just that the hungry people in the local area can't survive and make trouble there, as long as the imperial court selects a capable general to lead the army to suppress it. The suppression of the rebellion is only a matter of the blink of an eye! But the Tartar is different, he is a strong enemy! Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of our Ming Dynasty gathered in Liaodong, and the annual military salary was no less than 2 million taels. But what else is there besides the continuous loss of cities and abandoned land, a large number of people plundered countless elite people fell on the land of Liaodong, and the Tartars are really a big trouble for our Ming Dynasty!" Bai Wenxuan said with tears on his face.
"What about you? Sixiao thinks the same way?" Wang Feng asked Yao Sixiao, who did not speak.
"Hmm!" Yao Sixiao nodded.
Wang Feng was not surprised by their appearance, and in the hearts of these so-called Han landlords, the Tartar was an invincible being. And the displaced people, no, it should be said that those ordinary people have never been valued by those Han landlords. In the eyes of those people, the peasants who face the loess with their backs to the sky will always be just a herd of sheep to be slaughtered. Never imagined that one day it would be a group of people they regarded as sheep who overthrew the Ming Dynasty.
"Young master, you drink tea. "Since coming to the palace, Ru Ya, like everyone else, has gradually become accustomed to being called Young Master Wang Feng.
"Wen Xuan, Sixiao, you are wrong, the biggest threat to my Ming Dynasty is not the Tartars you say, but the displaced people you keep talking about, they are the biggest threat to my Ming Empire, they are like a group of stinky plasters that can't be shaken off. And the tartar is nothing more than an itchy pain. ”
"What, how could it be?" Wang Feng's words shocked the two of them too much, they couldn't imagine that Wang Fengfeng thought that Liukou was the biggest danger in the Ming Dynasty.
"The saint sleeps every day, as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, how can he not worry when he sees the emperor working hard! I set up a heavy armor iron cavalry is also to alleviate His Majesty's sorrows, even if it is expensive, as long as I can share the emperor's worries, I Wang Feng will not hesitate. After speaking, Wang Feng deliberately looked at Ru Ya who was on the side of the waiter, this time Wang Feng deliberately discussed the heavy armor iron horse in the hall, the purpose was to let Ru Ya hear the change and tell the emperor. also let Chongzhen get to know himself as a loyal minister.
Ru Ya looked at Wang Feng's eyes and deliberately listened to it, but secretly wrote down everything that should be written down in her heart.
"Okay, this matter is settled, you don't have to worry about the money, I'll figure it out, what you have to do now is to select a sturdy soldier for me ready to fill the heavy cavalry at any time. ”
"Yes..."Seeing that the young masters of their own family had already decided to take the case, Bai Wenxuan and they couldn't say anything more.
"Young master, young master, it's not good, it's a fight!" As soon as Bai Wenxuan's words fell, Wang Fu ran in out of breath.
"Go, go. Our people and the people of Zuo Town fought. Wang Fu finally held his breath and finished speaking.
"What... Quick, take the brothers and come with me. As soon as Wang Feng heard that his own people and Zuo Liangyu's people were fighting, he was so anxious that he wanted to bring someone to help.
"If you don't let go, I'm welcome if you don't let go!" Zuo Mengying, the general of Zuo Town, said.
This Zuo Mengying and Zuo Liangyu are their own families, Zuo Liangyu is the general army of Huguang, and people in Anhui and Hubei would have gone to join Zuo Liangyu's troops, but since the rise of Anqing Town, Zuo Liangyu has cut off the source of troops in Anhui, although he didn't say anything, but he still held a grudge against Wang Feng in his heart! This time, Zuo Mengying took people to Anqing Mansion to drink too much, and he quarreled with Wang Liu and others who were also drinking in the tavern.
Since Wang Liu followed Wang Feng, he has been learning martial arts under Zuo Mengqi. And Wang Feng has always treated him very well, this time he deliberately brought a few brothers out to drink, but he didn't expect to fight with Zuo Mengying.
"Arrest them all for me. Zuo Mengying, who was obviously superior in numbers, shouted to his soldiers.
When the soldiers of Zuozhen were about to make a move, a large number of soldiers rushed in from outside, each wearing a weapon. Wang Feng also followed.
"Young Master. "Wang Liu, they are not stupid, as soon as they saw Wang Feng coming in, they immediately leaned over. And now Zuo Mengying, who has become a disadvantage in numbers, hurriedly gathered people.
"Is that the one you were going to arrest me?" Wang Feng didn't talk nonsense, and walked up to ask as soon as he stepped forward.
"It's me, but..." Zuo Mengying wanted to explain, but suddenly a slap came over, and Zuo Mengying couldn't stand on his feet and fell on the table.
As soon as he saw that his staff would be beaten, the soldiers of Zuozhen surrounded him in an uproar, and the people of Anqing Town here also immediately surrounded the people of Zuozhen, and the people of Zuozhen did not dare to move for a while.
Touching his beating hand and staring at Zuo Mengying, who was lying under the table, Wang Feng said, "What I don't like the most is that others take care of my business, and if my people are at fault, it's my business, I don't need you to teach you a lesson, you look at how you still look like Ming officers and soldiers! Lord Zuo must be very sad to see it, so I'll teach you a lesson for Lord Zuo." ”
"What?"
