The door opened, and Jiang Feng's personal guards came to invite the three principals of the Zheng family. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Zheng Ju stood up, nodded to Zheng Hong, and motioned to follow.

Today's meeting and dialogue with the Jiang family is like a big test, which is related to the luck of the Zheng family in the next few decades, some questions need to be asked clearly, and some things need to be said thoroughly.

The second child will have to cooperate with the Jiang family in the future, these questions can only be asked by him, even if he makes the other party unhappy now, it is better than the evil in the future, he will be this wicked man.

Stepping on the bluestone slab path, seeing the bamboo forest and rockery covering the ground, the elegant and simple courtyard wall cornices, the white wall and green tiles, and the arch columns, the three sons of the Zheng family are also emotional.

The history of Shouzhou Thorn Mansion is the oldest mansion on the entire Huainan Road, from the Tang Yuan and fifteenth year, Shouzhou Thorn Mansion has been this mansion, and in the past 100 years, more than ten Thorn History, most of them were served by the Umeda Zheng San family.

After the Huangchao Rebellion, in the past 50 years, Shouzhou Thorn Shi has served six terms, the Mei family has three terms, the Tian family has two terms, and the Zheng family has only one term, and that term has only been in office for three years before changing people.

It can be said that this Shouzhou Thorn History Mansion has witnessed the prosperity of the three surnames for more than 100 years.

But now, from now on, the surname Umeda Zhengsan knows that the history of Shouzhou will no longer be held by a member of the Umeda Zhengsan family.

Zheng has also been mentally prepared for this.

In the future, no matter who dominates Shouzhou, no one with the surname of Umeda Zheng will be allowed to serve as the assassin of Shouzhou again, and now the three surnames are competing for the position of adjutant and Liucao Judge Division, which holds specific real power, which is also what the Zheng family wants to strive for.

In today's conversation, Zheng Ju will also put forward Zheng's request as a matter of course, because Zheng has made great contributions to the Huzhou army, and will also serve and follow Jiang Feng in the future, without Zheng's careful planning and efforts, how could Jiang Feng be able to enter Shouzhou so easily?

Of course, the Zheng family is not ignorant of the times, taking and giving are relative, if the Jiang family can dominate one side like Yang Xingmi, the king of Wu or Qian Biao, the king of Yue, it is a matter of course that the Zheng family is with the tail of the attached Ji.

Of course, the conversation with the three sons of the Zheng family could not be in the hall, and they were chosen in the other residence on the side of Baishoutang.

Since the Middle Tang Dynasty, the states have been fictitious or even non-existent as the three adjutants, so the state has actually been abandoned, and the annexed residence next to the office residence of the assassin has actually been used as the subsidiary office of the assassin's mansion, and most of the time it is used by the assassin himself to receive guests privately.

It was the first time Jiang Feng had seen Zheng Ju, the patriarch of the Zheng family.

This depressed man with a melancholy face was a little more elegant and indifferent than Zheng Hong and Zheng Hui, which made Jiang Feng look a little higher.

It is said that Zheng Ju, the patriarch of the Zheng family, is willing to be lonely and does not want to forge ahead, but in Jiang Feng's opinion, this is just a wise performance, in the case that the two Umeda families have their own backers, and their strength is obviously stronger than the Zheng family, and there is also the advantage of the water army, if the Zheng family dares to come out to provoke trouble, it is really to seek death.

If it weren't for the fact that the Zheng family's roots were far away in Huoqiu, or if the Zheng family dared to meddle in Anfeng's grain business, it is estimated that the two Umeda families would definitely not be able to tolerate the Zheng family.

It is precisely because Zheng Ju can clearly understand the situation of the Zheng family, and adopt the strategy of Taoguang to accumulate strength, and he can survive to this day, especially after the Zheng family's foundation Huoqiu was destroyed by the ant thieves, the Umeda family did not immediately turn their faces and act, which also has a lot to do with the Zheng family's low-key posture.

Now that the Zheng family has finally survived this moment, it seems that Zheng Hong's adventure should also be rewarded, Jiang Feng doesn't know if the third son of the Zheng family thinks like this.

"Zheng Ju (Zheng Hong, Zheng Hui) has seen the defense guard and capture the adult. ”

Jiang Feng greeted the three sons of the Zheng family at the door.

For the Zheng family, who has made great contributions to helping him enter Shouzhou, Jiang Feng feels that he should give the necessary courtesy, which is not only a reward, but also a courtesy.

"I have heard the name of Mr. Zheng Ju for a long time, and I am very fortunate to see it today. Jiang Feng took the initiative to bow his hand.

The three sons of the Zheng family were all a little shocked.

They had long heard of the name of this prodigy who rose like a comet in the sky.

In more than a year, it is impossible to overestimate how to go from a Gwangju scout to the top to become a figure who is the defense and capture of Gwangju Shou.

You can say that it was a risk for him to become independent from Gwangju under the control of the Caizhou Yuan clan and become a Gushi army, you can see him as a gamble to fight against an ant thief ten times his own size, and you can also think that he was impulsive to fight the rising Caizhou Yuan clan in order to ensure Gushi's independence, but he succeeded in all three steps.

The victor is not condemned, although no one said it, but countless people recognized it.

And it was rumored later that the Gu Shi Army (Huzhou Army) crossed the Huai to attack Nanyang, forcing Nanyang Liu Xuanfa Cai to fall short, and this time he cooperated with the Zheng family to enter Shouzhou, can this be attributed to good luck and successful risk?

This is clearly not the case.

No one will succeed easily, and it is also the hard work of several generations for the Zheng clan to get to this point, and Jiang Feng can become the defense guard of Guanghushou, of course, it is not a fluke.

Such a character, with such a young age, must be arrogant in the eyes of the third son of the Zheng family, because he has this qualification, but he didn't expect Jiang Feng to behave so modestly and low-key.

"The defense and capture make the adult overreputation, a certain old decay, today I can see the defense and capture the adult, only to know that there is such a person as an adult in this world, Zheng can follow the tail, it is an honor. ”

Zheng Ju returned the salute very calmly, and the compliments in his mouth were also endless.

Jiang Feng smiled, it seems that the patriarch of the Zheng clan is still very vigilant, and he is probably not very at ease with himself.

This is also normal, I have never dealt with it before, and I am so young, in the eyes of these family lords, I am probably more like an upstart, and now they have to submit to their subordinates, but the level of respect and recognition in their hearts is still difficult to say.

"Mr. Zheng is too polite. Jiang Feng didn't want to be entangled in words with this kind of old fritter, he wanted to talk to Zheng about substantive things today, "Please." ”

Zheng Ju and the three of them were not polite anymore and went straight to their seats.

"Shouzhou has been decided, slightly beyond Jiang's expectations. ...... Since last year, ant thieves have risen in all directions, blocking the Huaishui waterway, and Yingbo Shoucai and even Liangdi have been trapped by ant thieves, resulting in a shortage of money and grain in the middle of Caoyun. A certain person in Chang'an, thanks to the trust of the saint, ordered a certain person to take over the defense of Huaizhong with the defense of Guanghun Shou, not for other purposes, but for the national ,......"

A large paragraph of nonsense in the text, Balabala, probably means to make it clear that the ant thieves have destroyed the connection between the Central Plains and the Jianghuai, blocked the traffic, and caused the grain, silk and other civilian materials in the Jianghuai area to not be transported to Guanzhong on schedule, which affected the lives of the nobles and the people in Guanzhong, so Jiang was specially ordered to take up the Jianghuai defense to ensure that it was blocked by the ant thieves to ensure the material needs in the customs.

Of course, this is also a piece of nonsense, although Guanzhong is short of money and food because of the ant thieves blocking the traffic, but there are many ways to transport Jianghuai materials to Guanzhong, and the Jiangnan Road and Shannan Road can be reached as well, the ant thieves are rampant, but now it is in Huaibei and Jiangnan West Road, and there are only small scattered ant thieves on the entire Huainan Road, and they can't turn over the wind and waves.

This has nothing to do with whether or not to set up a light and longevity defense and capture, and you can't solve the problem of ant thieves, if you don't set it, the ant thieves should go the same way.

But the head of the conversation wants to say this, it was originally a compromise reached between the imperial court and the Huzhou side, Huzhou agreed that the imperial court would get involved in Gwangju, so the imperial court also had to give the Huzhou army a name that could be cheaply acted on the south bank of Huaishui, and this Guanghushou defense and capture envoy was the best name, just as simple as that.

Of course, the Zheng family will not believe Jiang Feng's nonsense, but they also have to admit that with this edict issued by the imperial court, it is a matter of course for Jiang Feng to take over the defense of Shouzhou.

"The people of Shouzhou have been looking forward to the emperor's grace for a long time, and today they can be defended and captured so that the adults can take over Shouzhou, such as a long drought and a rainy ,......"

Zheng Ju's sycophancy is also like a surging river, and Jiang Feng is also a chill, both of them are there in the water, and it is estimated that everyone is tired, but if you don't walk like this on the scene, you will directly enter the main topic of the division of interests, which is too explicit, damaging the image, and it is not conducive to a compromise between the two sides.

“...... , the Shouzhou army will no longer exist, including the private armies, and they cannot exist in the form of an organization,...... , the Huzhou Army and the Shouzhou Army will be merged into the Huainan Army,......"

As soon as Jiang Feng said this, the three Zheng brothers exchanged glances knowingly.

Sure enough, Huainan Army, this means that this defensive and defensive envoy's appetite is not only limited to Shouzhou, where will the blade point next? Haozhou, or Luzhou, or Shuzhou?

Jiang Feng didn't realize this.

In his opinion, since he is already the defense and capture envoy of Guanghushou, it is definitely not appropriate for the army under his command to be called the Huzhou Army, so the land of his three states is in Huainan, and the original Huainan Yang has been named the King of Wu, and the name of Huainan seems to be able to be borrowed by himself, not to mention the Huainan Jiedu envoy or the wind viewing envoy, at least the term Huainan army can be borrowed.

The Zheng clan has long been mentally prepared for the release of military power, their Zheng clan's army has long been defeated in the Battle of Huoqiu, and now there are only hundreds of private soldiers and soldiers who have fled back to break down, and he will take over the defense and capture envoy.

Now the Zheng family wants to fight for the administrative power and commercial business of Shouzhou, which is the foundation of the Zheng family in Shouzhou in the future.

"The defense and capture of the lord, the Zheng family resolutely supports the opinions of the lord, since the defense of the three states of Guanghushou is one, then the army should naturally be integrated, the Huzhou army is prosperous, the army of the three states should be based on the Huzhou army, the Zheng family is willing to obey the arrangement of the adult, send people and food, and ,...... at the request of the adult."

Zheng's clear attitude is also what it should be, without this attitude, how to put forward the conditions in the next step? )
