Chapter 1194: Abandon the City and Flee?
Looking at the gunpowder smoke and the constant screams after the explosions on the Huizhou city wall, Yang Feng, who was observing the battlefield, muttered: "Li Yan, the city wall has been bombed like this, do you still plan to hold on?" If you really want to live and die with the Huizhou Mansion, it will disappoint me too much. ”
With the increase in the power of the Jiangning Army, the strength of the night is also increasing, so it is naturally not difficult to figure out who will defend the Huizhou Mansion this time.
To be honest, it was still a little surprising that Li Yan would directly hand over Yang Feng so quickly, Li Yan is still quite talented, especially since he has a vision and sense of justice that ordinary people rarely have, which is still very rare in this era, and it is precisely because of this that Yang Feng does not want such a person to die in his hands.
Yang Feng muttered to himself here, but the eyes of Gou Xingma and Yan Di on the side were full of puzzlement, it was the first time they had seen Grandpa Guo value a person so much, could it be that this guy named Li Yan was really amazing?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt itchy, Yan Di couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa Guo, the last general has seen you mention Li Yan for two consecutive days, is this guy really so powerful?" ”
"What ...... about him" Yang Feng pondered for a while, and then said: "This person Yunwen Yunwu is a rare talent, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong person, and finally ended up dying in vain." ”
"Dead in vain?"
Yan Di and Gou Xingma looked at each other, how could their grandfather become more and more like a magic stick, and even the prophecy came out.
Yan Di couldn't help but say: "Grandpa Guo, no matter how powerful Li Yan is, he is just a thief, how can he say that he is both civil and military?" ”
"You're wrong." Yang Feng shook his head and said: "Then Li Yan is from an official family, and his family property is quite rich, if it is according to ordinary people's ideas, this kid can't get along with thieves."
But Li Yan was born with a warm-hearted heart, and after seeing the people displaced, he couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he donated all his 300 stone grain to those displaced people, and finally lobbied those rich gentry in his hometown Qi County, and even offended the local county order for this, and was designed by others to cheat, and finally became a thief in anger. ”
After listening to Yang Feng's description, Yan and Gou also shook their heads again and again and marveled that there were still such fools in this world. For the sake of those irrelevant people, he actually put himself in.
"There are still such people?" Yan Di said with some disbelief: "It's naturally good for him to have the people in his heart, but for the sake of the people, he has put himself in, isn't he a fool?" ”
Yang Feng sighed lightly: "He is indeed a fool, but my father hopes that Daming will have more fools like him, which must be a great thing for Daming." ”
Yan Di suddenly blushed, Yang Feng's words were quite accusatory, the slogans were shouted loudly on weekdays, and once they were real, they would be immediately gone.
Gou Xingma was also a little curious in his heart, listening to Grandpa Guo's tone, if it was possible, he would also plan to pull Li Yan in the future, it seems that Grandpa Guo values this rogue very much.
Gou Xingma did guess Yang Feng's thoughts, but it also depends on whether Li Yan is interested, if this guy is really obsessed, then don't blame him for being spicy.
Looking at the gunpowder smoke and the constant sound of explosions on the top of the city, Yang Feng couldn't help but sigh lightly, recalling that he had seen the cities that had been destroyed by the rogues all the way, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Sometimes he wanted to mobilize all his armies for a moment, surround Li Zicheng and them with lightning speed, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop, but in the end he was pressed down again.
If Li Zicheng and them were exterminated now, then so many people from before would have died in vain.
Nearly three hundred years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the gentry and landlords in the south of the Yangtze River have become tumors, after so many years of evolution, they have formed a huge network of interests, attached to the body of the Ming Dynasty and constantly sucking the blood of the Ming Dynasty, unless the Ming Dynasty collapses, otherwise their behavior will not stop, who dares to stop them is their undying enemy.
For example, now, although Yang Feng is respected by many people as the pillar of the Ming Dynasty and the god of war, in the eyes of the Jiangnan gentry, Yang Feng is no different from the devil.
If this is the case, then the welfare of their proud scholars will not have to serve forced labor, and the benefits of not having to pay for food will disappear completely, which is simply smashing the jobs of all scholars.
also thought that this was the case, although Yang Feng had become an official to the Duke of Xinguo, the officials of the entire Ming court who were willing to have personal relations with him could be counted in the face, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was an enemy.
However, our Yang officials don't care about this, if it weren't for this, Zhu Youxiao wouldn't trust him so much, and he wouldn't have any suspicions about letting such a powerful army as the Jiangning Army wander out of the control of the imperial court.
This is not only because Yang Feng gives him a large sum of money every year, but because in his opinion, a person like Yang Feng, who has almost offended the whole world, will never rebel, because no one will respond to him.
Just when Yang Feng was stunned, Song Ye walked up to him and whispered, "Grandpa Guo, someone has come from the palace in the capital." ”
"Your Majesty sent someone?"
Yang Feng was slightly stunned, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a eunuch in royal blue clothes standing more than a hundred meters away looking at him.
"Huh...... Is it him? ”
It seems that after someone came, Yang Feng greeted the person with a smile, "Hehe, Gonggong Cao, why are you so busy and free to come here today?" ”
The person who came was Cao Dazhong, who was currently the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.
Speaking of Cao Dazhong, this is an old acquaintance.
I think that when Yang Feng first arrived, he relied on Cao Dazhong, who was the eunuch of Nanjing Town at the time, and then became the thousand households of the Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households, and now he has stepped up to the peak, from this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Cao Dazhong is Yang Feng's nobleman.
Seeing Yang Feng walking towards him, Cao Dazhong also greeted him with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Grandpa Guo is getting more and more energetic, isn't our family bored in Beijing and wants to come out to do activities, it just so happens that Your Majesty wants to send you something, and there is a lack of errands, so our family will take the initiative to ask for help." ”
Yang Feng also smiled: "Haha, that relationship is good, tonight my father-in-law will accompany Father-in-law Cao to have a good drink, let's not get drunk and not return!" ”
"That's it."
After speaking, Cao Dazhong leaned into Yang Feng's ear and whispered: "Grandpa Guo, we don't mind not talking, Your Majesty has a secret will." ”
