Chapter 249: Monk Feng's Lost Words
Taiwei's Mansion, study.
Huo Bao sat on the small stool, a little uncomfortable.
Master Lin stood behind the case, and was picking up a pen to correct something on Huo Bao's "homework".
Huo Bao was slightly weak-hearted.
The old man's homework before going to Yangzhou, in addition to memorization and the like, is ten policy treatises.
Huo Bao forgot.
It wasn't until Master Lin came back in a hurry the day before yesterday that he remembered.
I took the time to write in the past two days, but in the end, the time was in a hurry, and I had a little to deal with.
Master Lin was silent at first, and then his face drooped.
In addition to the first two articles, which are quite substantial, the next few articles are all patchwork, and there are two more arguments that are even more irrelevant.
And this word, scribbled aside, there are missing arms and legs?
What a system!
Master Lin lost the interest in continuing to correct, put down the brush, and looked at Huo Bao.
Huo Bao was very obedient, stood up, bowed down and confessed his mistake: "It's all mine, I was busy with other things a few days ago, and I didn't care about my homework!" ”
Master Lin's expression was slightly slower, but he still said with a straight face: "Learning is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat...... Don't delay the matter of the academy any longer, enroll as soon as possible! ”
He doesn't have time to stare at Huo Bao to study, Huo Bao has talent, but in the end, the foundation is not good, and he still needs formal learning.
Huo Bao nodded, not refusing.
At the moment, there wasn't much he needed to do personally.
The prototype of the firearms battalion was there, and the prototype of the military uniform factory was born.
He doesn't have to worry about the rest of the tuntian matters, Master Lin and others pay more attention to the issue of grain and grass.
It is a pity that the suspended "crusade" is pity.
There are iron ore mines in Changzhou.
Now, although the channel of the Hangzhou smelter is still there, it is bought with real money, and it is different to directly fight Changzhou.
If the direction of Qichun is unstable, Jinling doesn't have to be so careful.
At present, what we are guarding against is the instability of Yangzhou.
Even the Yangzhou Navy Division is Tong Bujian, and it is only a "captive", not a fall.
Coupled with Pang Liang, the Jinling sailor who is still being imprisoned, Jinling has already pressed the two sailors.
It is useless to kill, and it is useless to keep it.
The defenders of Huainan Province were all handsome, and they were directly beheaded.
60,000 defenders of Huainan Province faced the Chuzhou army, with more than 9,000 casualties, 30,000 people, and another 20,000 horses, which were led by the deputy general to flee east and surrender to Taizhou.
Taizhou belongs to Henan Province, bordering Yangzhou, Chuzhou, and Huai'an, and is now also the territory of the White Shirts, which was occupied by Marshal Zhang, who raised the scene in Huai'an in August.
The Chuzhou army did not pursue, but it also had a heart of defense against Taizhou.
Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?
If this Huai'an marshal keeps to himself, everyone can live in peace for the time being, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.
Obviously, this Huai'an marshal also had the idea of Yangzhou before, and when the Chuzhou army went south, this marshal also went south to conquer Taizhou, and he had a tacit understanding with the deputy general in Yangzhou.
After the Chuzhou army finished fighting Zhenjiang Mansion, it did not continue the "Eastern Crusade", except for the news of the great victory of the Qichun army, which was due to the changes in Taizhou.
If the "Eastern Crusade" continues and the Qichun army comes to attack, Taizhou will attack Yangzhou when the time comes, and the Chuzhou army will face a situation of facing the battle on three sides.
It was really not advisable to take risks, so the army returned to defend Jinling.
In this way, Huo Wu, Master Lin and others are all there, and Jinling doesn't need Huo Bao, a half-grown boy, to worry about.
……
In the tea room, Huo Wu left Monk Feng to speak.
I will see the people of Yangzhou tomorrow, how to talk about it, and we have to see what Monk Feng means.
The deputy general of Yangzhou took 20,000 people out of Bentaizhou and caught the Chuzhou army by surprise.
According to Deng Jian's meaning, he wanted to pursue, and by the way, he took Taizhou, and was persuaded by Huo Wu and Master Lin.
But everyone was holding their breath in their hearts.
First there was artillery, and then there was a deputy general who went out to Taizhou Baishan, and the situation in Yangzhou was even more complicated than imagined.
Even Huo Wu couldn't wait to let Deng Jian go to Yangzhou twice to shock the place.
But he knew that it could not be so.
Yangzhou businessmen are famous all over the world, and the places involved are not only Yangzhou.
Their industries spread all over the south and north of the Yangtze River, and if the Chuzhou army violently leveled Yangzhou, it would only erect countless secret enemies for itself.
But those industries and connections cannot be the confidence of the confrontation between Yangzhou businessmen and the Chuzhou army.
Friend or foe, this policy will not change.
Now that Deng Jian is in Yangzhou, even if they can't level Yangzhou, if they still want to ride the wall, they have to "kill chickens and monkeys".
The Feng family, the head of the merchants, was originally the best target.
It's just that Monk Feng is here, and the Feng family is not easy to move.
However, Monk Feng's brother is also the speaker of Yangzhou businessmen, if he is not convinced, others will have to rely on.
"What does Brother Ling mean? Zhang Cheng fought Taizhou and sought Yangzhou, but others didn't pay attention, but Brother Ling knew it early! Huo Wu wondered.
With the position of the Feng family, there is really no position to go near and far, not to Jinling, but to Taizhou.
Zhang Cheng is the Marshal Zhang of Huai'an, who burned incense in August, and worked hard to win the entire territory of Huai'an Mansion and Taizhou in two months.
Among the white-shirted marshals of Henan Province, this Marshal Zhang came from behind.
It's because he's rich, he's a salt merchant.
The Huai'an army is fully equipped, which is the confidence to capture the two state capitals and seek Yangzhou in February.
If it weren't for the fast movement in March and September, and the first step to get Chuzhou, this Marshal Zhang would be the land of Sanzhou right now.
Monk Feng said indifferently: "The Zhang family and the Feng family are old friends, maybe the brother really has other plans!" ”
Huo Wu: "......"
Is this telling the truth?
So what does this mean? To tolerate or not to tolerate?
Monk Feng said: "It's just that no matter what the plan is, you should make a decision now." The fifth master can rest assured, my brother knows the most about current affairs! ”
Huo Wu smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect it to be like this!" ”
He wanted to treat the Feng family well and deal with the "richest man in the world", but he didn't expect to think that from beginning to end, the Feng family was close to the other party.
In this way, he didn't even care about his brother's army in Chuzhou?
Huo Wu was quite surprised.
If you say that brothers are not compatible, brothers fight for property, or whatever, it is not like it.
When Monk Feng was in Bozhou, the men and horses were all equipped by Feng Zhaoyang, the eldest brother.
Although the two are brothers, there is a difference of two rounds in age, when Feng Zhaoyang took over the family business and became famous all over the world, Monk Feng was still young, and he was cultivating in the temple because of poor health.
Monk Feng lowered his eyes and said, "The Feng family's generation has the word 'zhao'...... A certain original name is Feng Zhaolang, thirteen years ago, the Feng family has nothing to do with a certain ...... The fifth master acts, and he does not have to worry about a certain ......"
Huo Wu was very surprised in his heart.
How much movement does this have to be?
But Huo Wu sent people to Yangzhou before, but he didn't hear about this.
It can only be said that this matter was covered up and not known to outsiders.
There is only one person who can do this, Feng Million, the head of the Feng family.
What was the big deal in the Feng family thirteen years ago?
Mrs. Feng died!
Could it be that there is something wrong with the mourning period?
However, Monk Feng's character is not unbearable.
With such a temperament, even if you are young and crazy, you won't be in a good situation.
Huo Wuyi couldn't think of it, so he didn't want to, and laughed loudly: "Brother Ling and the Chuzhou Army are not enemies, even if they had preferences before, it was because of their different positions...... This time out of Yangzhou, I chose to come to Jinling, instead of going to Taizhou, that is, there is a trade-off, I can only be happy! ”
Everyone has relatives near and far.
Feng Million favored the Zhang family because of his old friendship with the Zhang family, which was a trade-off.
It is not a trade-off between the Huai'an Army and the Chuzhou Army, but a trade-off between the Zhang family and his brother.
The feelings of the Feng brothers are not as close as they imagined.
When Monk Feng ran away from Bozhou, he chose to go to Chuzhou instead of returning to Yangzhou, which is understandable.
These are all Monk Feng's family affairs, and Huo Wu has no intention of inquiring.
He didn't spend much time with Monk Feng, and the total was less than two months, but Monk Feng's character was in his eyes, and he was naturally on Monk Feng's side.
For Feng Million, since Monk Feng was not close, Huo Wu had a little less scruples.
It depends on how Feng Million will know the current affairs law tomorrow......

Jingwei Building, private room.
The old man who knew the Mandate of Heaven was wearing a muslin Confucian shirt, sitting in the center, the cuffs were a little white, and on the left and right sides, there was a circle of people sitting, but they were dressed differently, and each showed its wealth and wealth.
The old man held the teacup, sniffed lightly, and said: "It's no wonder that this restaurant can come from behind, there is indeed something good, this 'Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoots' is the best, even in the tea shop of Yangzhou time-honored brand, you can't buy this ......"
The first person under him took a sip of tea, didn't care about tasting the fragrance, and said eagerly: "President...... The Taiwei Mansion has already sent a message, telling us to visit tomorrow, the fourth master's side...... Isn't it time to go? ”
These "four masters" are the ranking of Monk Feng.
Now who doesn't know that in the Chuzhou army, under Captain Huo, there are five generalissimos.
Monk Feng is called "Generalissimo of Jiangnan", after Generalissimo Deng Jian of Jiangbei and Generalissimo Du Fei of Jiangzhong, and before Generalissimo Shuijin of Jiangxi and Generalissimo Ma Ju of Jiangdong.
Yangzhou was defeated, and they, the gentry and merchants, went to Jinling to make amends, and they needed to rely on it.
Monk Feng, a son of Yangzhou and the generalissimo of Jiangnan, is their biggest reliance.
The old man, that is, Feng Wanwan, the president of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, took a sip of tea and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, first public and then private, and then go to see the fourth child......"
When he put the tea cup back, he accidentally touched the dried fruit bowl in the corner of the table, and a red date fell off the table and fell to the ground.
When Feng Million saw it, he immediately bent down to pick it up, wiped it on his cuffs, and put it directly into his mouth: "There is not enough rain this year, but the dates are sweet!" ”
Everyone here is not surprised.
Everyone knows that the richest man in the world is outrageously stingy.
Not to mention anything else, his clothes, which have brushed cuffs, are already his most decent clothes for visitors.
The ones I wore daily in Yangzhou before were more shabby than this, and they all came with patches.
Feng Million is not only stingy with himself, but also very stingy with his family.
In the family of Jujia, who is not a group of slaves, the Feng family only has a few family servants, and most of the family affairs on weekdays are handled by the female dependents themselves.
There is only one exception.
That is Feng Million's younger brother Feng Siye.
Whether it was the offerings when he was recuperating in the temple in his early years, or the expenses of Monk Feng when he was in Bozhou, Feng Million was extremely generous.
Such a comparison not only attracted the attention of outsiders, but also caused dissatisfaction among brothers and grandchildren.
Monk Feng was not close to his other brothers and nephews, and he was not jealous.
