(Old book friends, you are still not there, add more!) It's been a little more leisurely these days, um... Shameless to ask for a ticket...... ）

Caofu's new house, which used to be a courtyard of Wuchangbo's family, was "borrowed" by Xu Pengju a while ago to settle Xie Wan, who came from Beijing, only changed a pair of plaques, and since then it has become Cao's mansion. As for Cao Wei's previous residence in Nanjing, well, according to Xu Pengju, a marquis still only lives in a three-entry mansion, which is to lose all the noble faces!

At the gate of Cao's mansion, everyone bowed, Zhang Yong read the holy decree slowly, and everyone else was full of respect, but Cao Wei pouted when he heard it.

The decree is getting rougher and rougher!

In the past, there were praise words such as "only virtuous, courteous and virtuous" at the beginning of the holy decree, but now it is directly to the point of telling the holy will, without the slightest greeting between the monarch and the minister, and there is no minimum respect for the marquis......

"Master Hou, take the order!"

After Zhang Yong finished reading the holy decree, he saw that Cao Wei did not move, and he couldn't help but be speechless for a while, which minister in the court was not attentive when he received the holy decree? Only this Marquis Cao was the only one who was out of the spirit, which really made him not know what to say.

If this was put on others, Zhang Yong would have thrown his sleeves away a long time ago, but in the face of this young man, he was full of courtesy, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Cao Wei came back to his senses, stepped forward to take the holy decree, and said with a smile: "As the Daming Guard, the mercenary guard will definitely protect the family and country, kill thieves and make meritorious contributions, and add glory to Your Majesty's old man's face." It's just that the mercenary guards are poor and sour, and it is difficult to form an army, and all the soldiers are yellow and thin, and they are dressed in tatters, which is really a shame for our Daming, so Lao Zhang's father-in-law told His Majesty, and asked him to allocate some money and food to help the military, well, two million taels can be ......"

"Ha, it's not too early, the miscellaneous family will go back to Beijing first!" As if he hadn't heard Cao Wei's words, Zhang Yong said goodbye to everyone, and then left in a hurry.

Cao Wei looked at Zhang Yong's back with some disappointment, feeling sorry in his heart that if this eunuch did business, he would definitely lose so much that he didn't even have his underwear left......

"What's the matter? Still thinking about fighting the autumn wind with His Majesty? ”

Xu Pengju pursed his lips and said, "Two million taels? Thanks to the export you mentioned, there are 600,000 soldiers and horses in Nanjing, so many guards, and the military silver for half a year is only 2 million taels. Since His Majesty's will said that the imperial court will not pay you the mercenary guard, then the household department will not give you half a tael of silver. ”

"Brothers with yellow muscles and thin ......"

"Ahh Xu Pengju suddenly became angry, pointed at Cao Wei and said: "After returning from the Huaiyang Mountain bandits, your group of men are comparable to rich people, and their farts are oily crotch, where did you come from as a commander, and what kind of face do you say is yellow and thin?"

Those money were seized by them in a fight with bandits, which is understandable, but why did they show off it after returning to Nanjing? A thousand households can charter a green building, which is really richer than my Wei State Mansion! Now there are generals in the Nanjing barracks who can't sit still, and take the initiative to ask for the bandits, saying that the officers and soldiers under their command have no rice at home. In order to stabilize the morale of the army in the past few days, I have not had a spare ...... after being busy."

Xu Pengju had a deep grudge, Cao Wei had a smile on his face, but he was scolding his subordinates in his heart for not being sensible, and he didn't know the truth that wealth was not exposed, and he must educate him well when he has time.

"Your Majesty handed over the governance of the mercenary guard to you, but lowered the rank of your commander by two grades, and did not pay the military salary, you should understand the reason."

Cao Wei pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty can trust me and try to use my method to change the soldiers, but after all, the military power is too obscure, although these five thousand soldiers and horses are not much, but they are enough to cause trouble, so Your Majesty must use it and guard against it, this is the way of the king."

Moreover, His Majesty commanded me to make the rank not want me to be too sharp and hated, if nothing else, I would have raised the grade again in two years. ”

Xu Pengju patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's good that you understand, you have risen too fast in the past few years, and many people have become red-eyed.

Your Majesty restrains you for your own good, I'm afraid that you won't be able to figure it out, feel wronged and unwilling to accept the order, or you can't manage your subordinates well, and fall into the hands of others, and it will inevitably be a trouble at that time.

My dad ...... Let's go, Cao Wei, I don't want you to have anything to do with you anymore! ”

Xu Peng hugged him heavily with red eyes, Cao Wei patted his back comfortingly, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, the little grandfather who used to be a little stupid and white has grown up, and he knows how to use his brain to see things, and this alone is worth a drink, but I don't know if he is praising himself or scolding himself when he says that he is a loach, forget it, let's just praise it!

Xu Pengju let go of Cao Wei, wiped his eyes, and said: "Don't talk about these bad things, let's talk about some happiness, this time you brought a woman back from Huaiyang Mountain, I'm afraid this backyard is going to catch fire, as soon as I think of these two women pinching each other, I am happy!" ”

Cao Wei's face darkened in an instant, and he was completely moved, and silently retracted his thoughts just now, it turned out that this thing was still as brainless as it was at the beginning, and he really wanted to smoke him......

"Then you may be disappointed, Wan'er and Jiuniang hit it off at first sight today, calling each other sisters, and they will definitely love each other in the future, and their wives and concubines will sleep together."

Cao Wei was full of confidence, but he attracted Xu Pengju's sneer, looking at Cao Wei as if he was looking at a fool: "Heh, women ......"

Xu Pengju still had to speak, an officer and soldier rode up, saw Xu Pengju and hurriedly dismounted, hugged his fists and saluted: "Grandpa, something happened, there are Japanese invaders from Qidong into the estuary, along the river to plunder the people, Qidong thousands of households fled without a fight, now Qidong, Jiangtong, Huaiqing and other places have issued official documents, asking the grandfather to resist the Japanese and save the people!" ”

Xu Pengju's face became extremely ugly, and he said angrily: "Xiao Xiao Kou, how dare you do this? How dare you do this, Grandpa Ben will send troops to pacify them. ”

"Wait!" Cao Wei grabbed Xu Pengju, who was about to leave, and said solemnly: "Quickly enter Beijing to request the transfer of troops, and it will take at least half a month to come and go. My mercenary guard is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and I will dispatch the stay and stay. ”

Although Wei Guogong was nominally in charge of the soldiers and horses in Nanjing, he did not have the right to mobilize them, and he had to consult with the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and then issue an official document to seek the consent of the imperial court before he could mobilize the soldiers and horses. There were more than 2 million officers and soldiers in the entire Ming Dynasty, and Nanjing accounted for 600,000, and they were all elite soldiers. If these 600,000 soldiers and horses are really under the control of the Xu family, then the descendants of the Zhu family may not even be able to sleep.

This kind of restriction did effectively balance Nanjing's military power, but it also had great drawbacks, that is, in case of emergency, Wei Guogong could not send troops to deal with it as soon as possible.

"I have seen villages and towns ravaged by the Japanese invaders, and it is not an exagger......ation to call it purgatory on earth," Xu Pengju paused for a moment and said: "Kill my people, lewd my wife and daughter, Cao Wei, don't let them go!" ”

Cao Wei nodded and said, "Don't worry, although I am kind and don't like to kill, I can't tolerate this group of beasts...... What kind of eyes are you? I really haven't killed anyone, and the bandits in Huaiyang Mountain are killing each other......"

Xu Pengju's face showed disdain, Cao Wei's voice gradually weakened, and he kicked Xu Pengju in annoyance, and then went back to the house to close the door. Xu Pengju sneered: "Heh, villain! Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
