Chapter 66: Eagle Eye
"Your Majesty, it's late at night. It's time to rest!" Wang Chengen, who had been waiting beside him, reminded Chongzhen, who was constantly reviewing the chapters.
"Waste, waste, waste. This Yang He should be damned!" Chongzhen remembered to give so much silver to Yang He, but it turned out to be fruitless. The more the rebels are soothed, the more they are soothed. Don't fight in one place.
In the first year of Chongzhen, there was a great drought in Shaanxi, and there were thousands of miles of red land in various places. There was no harvest of grain in the field. Wang Jiayin, a native of Fugu, gathered the hungry people to revolt, officially opening the prelude to the uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Chongzhen sent Yang He, the governor of the three sides to Shaanxi to suppress the rebellion, to the imperial court in the hope of suppressing the uprising by means of pacification. As a result, a lot of money was spent. The results were not at all. This can't help but be angry.
"Slaves and maids should die, Emperor, calm your anger. When Wang Chengen saw Chongzhen angry, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down.
"Father-in-law, what should I do with these?" As soon as Wang Chengen knelt down, a little eunuch asked with a little twist and turn, originally the little eunuch was going to present these to Chongzhen, but as soon as he came in, he saw Chongzhen furious, so scared that the little eunuch dared to find himself mildew, so he had to ask Wang Chengen on the side for help.
"You want to die! The emperor is angry, and you still show him the fold. Let me go, go down, go down. Wang Chengen whispered and scolded the little eunuch for not knowing how to do things.
The little eunuch was pardoned, and quickly put down the chapter and trotted out of the Qianqing Palace.
"Cheng'en, what an excerpt! Chongzhen's tone was slightly calmer than just now, although Chongzhen was furious just now. But as soon as the little eunuch entered the door, he saw it so clearly that he could hear Wang Chengen's words clearly.
The emperor had spoken, how could this Wang Chengen dare to detain it, and hurriedly handed over the chapter.
Chongzhen took it and took a look, there were a total of four copies, the first one was from Wang Feng, the chief soldier of Anqing Town, and the remaining three were the secret reports of Ru Ya, Song Qiaoren and others who were sent to Wang Feng to monitor him.
Chongzhen did not first disassemble Wang Feng's recitals, but first looked at Ru Ya's recitals below.
"The slave maid Ru Ya nodded and asked the emperor to ask His Majesty Xià Tian'an, the slave maid was ordered to go undercover beside Wang Feng, according to the slave maid for many days to observe this person has no disobedience to the heart, but a few days ago Wang Feng in order to recruit soldiers, privately used his own manor to raise the families of soldiers. ”
"What..."Chongzhen couldn't help but be angry when he saw this, what he was most afraid of in this life was that the generals were selfish, so he would send so many spies to spy on Wang Feng. Chongzhen, who was not very worried about Wang Feng, was now eager to send Tiqi to arrest Wang Feng from Anqing Mansion and return to Beijing.
But after thinking about it, Chongzhen picked up the remaining three pieces, and Song Qiaoren and Li Ming's recitals were all similar. In the end, Chongzhen picked up Wang Feng's part.
"Chen Daming is loyal to Bo Anqing Town, the chief soldier Wang Feng suddenly knocked on the emperor's majesty, and the minister lived up to the emperor's trust and finally completed the formation of Anqing Town. A few days ago, because of the lack of military salaries allocated by the military department, the minister wanted to complete the formation of Anqing Town as soon as possible and alleviate His Majesty's sorrows. The minister took it upon himself to use the minister's private wealth to pay for the military expenses of 50,000 taels. The minister implored the emperor to understand the difficulties of the ministers and urge the military to pay the military salary as soon as possible. The minister bowed again. Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”
"Haha, this Wang Feng is bold enough! Chongzhen's face is much better looking than just now! He is not afraid of the generals being greedy for money, and the more greedy the generals are, the more they prove that they have no intention of rebellion, on the contrary, what Chongzhen is afraid of is the kind of generals who are not greedy for money and share weal and butter with the soldiers, and such people are the most dangerous in his eyes.
The reason why Chongzhen can't rest assured about Wang Feng is because he is worried that Wang Feng is too deep in the city and has great ambitions, and now it seems that he Wang Feng is also a person without a city government, and Chongzhen feels that such a person is the best to deal with.
"Wang Chengen. Chongzhen shouted back. "The slave is here. Wang Chengen hurriedly took two steps forward.
"It is planned that the military department will make up the military salary of Anqing Town as soon as possible, and at the same time order Nanzhili to raise another thousand horses, 300 firearms and two more Shenyong General Cannons. There must be no mistakes. Chongzhen was embarrassed for his stinginess just now, and this time he deliberately made an exception and added weapons to Anqing Town, he Wang Feng asked the emperor for it, and the emperor couldn't be too picky!
"I also told Wang Feng that I gave him a year to train and a year for me to go into battle to kill the enemy. ”
"Yes. Wang Chengen is always the kind of tone that is neither yin nor yang.
"Wang Feng values you, don't disappoint me!" Chongzhen looked into the distance, for a long time, for a long time.
Anqing Mansion, Wang Feng's study room. This secret room has been built a long time ago, but it has never come in handy, and now in order to prevent Ru Ya from being the eyeliner at home, Wang Feng had to change all the meetings to be held in the secret room.
"Young master, you shouldn't be so bold as to ask the emperor for money, you must know that it should be your duty to be a courtier and do errands for the emperor. Don't say that you are proud of your merits, you might as well go directly to the emperor and ask for money!" Bai Wenxuan is still worried about Wang Feng's request for money from the emperor.
Wang Feng had to admit that Bai Wenxuan was indeed a good hand at handling logistics, but when it came to guessing Chongzhen's heart, ten Bai Wenxuan was not as good as himself.
"Wen Xuan, what you said is not wrong, but you don't know the emperor too well. His suspicions were too heavy. The more presumptuous you are in him, the more reckless he looks, the more reassuring he is about you. He is not afraid that you are greedy for money, he is afraid that you are worried about the little power in his hands. If I hadn't been on the fold, then I think it wouldn't be long before the cavalry that grabbed me would soon arrive at Anqing Mansion. ”
Bai Wenxuan looked at this and he would never understand the young master, he was only so young, but he saw things so transparently, and grasped people's hearts in such detail, if he was a few years older, Bai Wenxuan didn't dare to imagine what his young master would become, but he knew that there would be hope if he followed this young master.
"Wen Xuan, how is Hawkeye's affairs going?" Although Wang Feng was very concerned about how the emperor would deal with his letter, he was now more concerned about Hawkeye.
Since crossing over to the Ming Dynasty, Wang Fengbei felt that the news was backward and untimely, and a team had a channel to establish its own sources, and Eagle Eye was born.
After more than three years of preparation, the conditions for the establishment of Hawkeye were ripe, and Hawkeye was born. It was a small army of 200 men independent of the Anqing town system, responsible only to Wang Feng, and they lurked in various places specifically to spy on the news between the imperial court and the various feudal towns. It is also used to carry out a series of assassination missions.
"Young Master, it has already shown its teeth, just waiting for your order, Young Master, it will spread its wings and fly high. ”
