Ears stuffed with donkey hair? ”

Don't talk about Pan Ruzhen, even the officials around him were all stunned, they really couldn't believe that such vulgar language actually came from the mouth of the grandfather of the court.

Pan Ruzhen almost fainted on the spot, and pointed at Yang Feng tremblingly and shouted: "Yang Feng, you are also the grandfather of the Ming Dynasty, and you are so speechless, do you believe that the official broke the bullet to impeach you?" ”

"Impeachment fart, that's all you have left."

Yang Feng suddenly pointed at his nose and scolded: "Pan Ruzhen, you are also the governor of a province, I ask you if you can do something serious." Put your mind on how to make decisions for the people, do things for the court, and share worries for Your Majesty?

You officials spend your days impeaching this and that, and at first glance you are all too busy to impeach, but you ask yourself who is really trying to impeach a person in the public heart?

You are so capable, these days the rogues are coming, why don't you go to Li Zicheng's camp to impeach him? Back then, the Manchu Tartars invaded my Liaodong and slaughtered my Ming people, why didn't you impeach Nurhachi and impeach Huang Taiji?

Oh, now that the rogues are gone, you are all in good spirits, even the reinforcements have to stop them from entering the city, and now even the father-in-law has to be impeached, what is this called? This can be called ingratitude, this is called repaying virtue with resentment, and it is to be spurned by others!

Today, the Jiangning army at the city gate is settled, and whoever dares to stop it should not blame Bengong for being ruthless...... Song Ye! ”

"Whoa!"

"Pass the order, order Gou Xingma and Yan Di to enter the city, and those who dare to stop will be killed!"

"Whoa!"

"You...... You ......"

After hearing Yang Feng say the words "no mercy", Pan Ruzhen's eyes rolled and the whole person fainted.

Seeing Pan Ruzhen fainting, there was a great chaos around him, and soon someone lifted him up and ran away, and those officials, who had no leader, also slipped away one by one.

Seeing that the city gate, which was still bustling, suddenly became so quiet, Yang Feng sneered, "Okay, let the soldiers enter the city." ”

Two hours later

In the western suburbs of Hangzhou, countless dense tents have been set up on the abandoned school grounds, and the sergeants of the baggage battalion wearing green military uniforms can be seen busy setting up tents, railings, erecting horses, etc., a camp is taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the barracks, a team of heavily armed sergeants are patrolling.

In a handsome tent in the middle, Yang Feng summoned Li Yan, Gou Xingma, Yan Di and dozens of officers above the thousandth general.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have finished the battle in Hangzhou Mansion, the thieves led by Li Zicheng are fleeing in all directions, Cao Yingmao has already gone to chase after him, and then Li Zicheng wants to gather soldiers and horses to pose a threat to Jiangnan again It will take at least a month, so we are relatively safe during this time, and we can also do some things."

"Do something?" The generals looked at each other, and some did not understand Yang Feng's words.

Yang Feng said lightly: "For example, we can ask that Governor Pan for some food." ”

"Asking for food?"

Everyone was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized.

"That's right!"

Gou Xingma patted his thigh: "Our tens of thousands of troops were sent at the end of last year, from Jinling to Henan Mansion, and then to the Mengjindu War, and now to Jiangnan, it can be said that the soldiers have been tired for more than half a year, and the little food and salary given by the imperial court is not enough for us to stuff our teeth, and finally entered Hangzhou Mansion, if we are asked to pay out of our own pockets, it is impossible to say!" ”

"Well, that's true."

The generals also nodded in unison.

The rules of the Ming Dynasty are like this, if the army fights in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the local government has the responsibility and obligation to provide the required food and salary for the army, which is also considered to save costs.

It's just that this regulation has become a means for the local government to control the army in the late Ming Dynasty, if you are obedient, I will share some leftovers for you, so that you can't eat enough and starve to death, if you don't obey? Hmph, then I'm sorry, you can figure it out yourself.

However, the government's set of methods is okay to deal with ordinary troops, and it is not so easy to deal with an army as prestigious as the Jiangning Army, especially since their commander is still a well-known civilian killer, I am afraid that Pan Ruzhen, who was so angry just now, would not dare to do so.

"So be it." Yang Feng thought for a while before saying, "Li Zanhua, you will go to the governor's yamen later, tell Pan Ruzhen, and let him raise 50,000 stone grain and grass, 1,000 pigs, and 5 million taels of silver within three days, and then send them to the barracks of the army, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

"What...... What, three million taels? ”

All the generals were taken aback by Yang Feng's words, did the grandfather of his own country add an extra zero, even Li Yan showed a puzzled look.

Yang Feng, who looked at everyone's eyes in his eyes, smiled lightly: "Do you think I said the number wrong, you didn't hear it wrong, even five million taels of silver, not one tael less."

You don't want to think about it, Hangzhou Mansion is located, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the essence of Jiangnan along with Yangzhou and Suzhou. After hundreds of years of accumulation, those gentry and wealthy families are all worth a huge amount of money. Ben Gong can say that the big city of Hangzhou is not to mention five million taels of silver, even if it is thirty million taels of silver, it can be taken out. ”

Yan Di said with some worry: "Grandpa, but are we so blatantly begging for them to give it?" If they don't give it, we can't take it by arson, right? ”

Yang Feng sneered: "Of course we can't rob the army, but we can arrest people, as long as we arrest all those rich families, let them take the silver to ransom people within a time limit, once the deadline is reached, whoever doesn't dare to take out the silver will be beheaded, and my father wants to see if they want silver or heads." ”

"Shhh...... This ......"

Yan Di swallowed his saliva and swallowed back the words that followed.

"My father knows, you must want to say, isn't this the same as a robber? It's really right for you to deal with those gentry and rich families who would rather spend 10,000 dollars to play tricks and redeem their cards, and my father wants to let them taste the taste of robbers. ”

Li Yan asked: "Grandpa Guo, if this matter is a big problem, the court will ...... it."

"The Imperial Court?" Yang Feng snorted lightly: "If you can get the silver, we will keep two million taels for ourselves for five million taels, and the remaining three million taels will be escorted into Beijing immediately. ”

"High ...... Tall, ......"

Li Yan suddenly came to his senses.

That's right, Yang Feng's meaning is obvious, it doesn't matter if you grab the silver, the key is how to spend it after you rob the silver.

It's true that the buddy robbed the silver, but we only kept two million taels for ourselves, and the rest were escorted into Beijing, and I didn't believe that Li Yan killed him, and those households who saw the silver and their eyes glowed green would let go of such a huge sum.

As long as the household department dares to accept this silver, then we have to talk about this matter well.
