Looking at the smoke rising after the explosion on the Huizhou city wall and the screams that kept coming, Yang Feng, who was observing the battlefield, murmured: "Li Yan, the city walls have been blown up like this, are you still going to hold on? If you really want to live and die with Huizhou Prefecture, that would disappoint me."

With the increase in the power of the Jiangning Army, Ye Bushou's strength has also increased. It is naturally not difficult to understand the candidates for the bandits to defend Huizhou Prefecture this time.

To be honest, it was a bit surprising that Li Yan had fought against Yang Feng so quickly. Li Yan is quite talented, especially because he has a sense of foresight and justice that ordinary people rarely have. This is still rare in this era. It is precisely because of this that Yang Feng does not want such a person to die in his own hands.

Yang Feng muttered to himself here without mentioning it, but Gou Xingma and Yan Di were confused in their eyes. This was the first time they saw the prince value a person so much. Could it be that this guy named Li Yan is really amazing?

Yan Di, who felt more and more itchy when he thought about it, couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Grandpa, I have been talking about Li Yan for two consecutive days. Could it be that this guy is really that powerful?"

"He..." Yang Feng pondered for a moment, then said: "This person, Yun Wen and Wu, is a rare talent. Unfortunately, he followed the wrong person and ended up in vain."

"Diet in vain?"

Yan Di and Gou Xingma looked at each other. Why did their own prince look more and more like a charlatan? Even prophecies emerged.

Yan Di couldn't help but say, "Dude, I think that no matter how powerful Li Yan is, he is just a bandit. How can he say that both civil and military are good?"

"You are wrong." Yang Feng shook his head and said, "Then Li Yan is from an official family and has a rich family property. If it is based on the general idea, this kid will have nothing to do with the bandits.

But Li Yan was born with a warm heart. After seeing the people being displaced, he couldn't bear to suffer. He donated all his 300 stone of food to the refugees. In the end, he went around his hometown Qi County to lobby the wealthy gentry, and even offended the local county magistrate for this. He was defrauded by others. In the end, he became angry and got involved in the bandits."

After hearing Yang Feng's description, Yan and Gou shook their heads repeatedly and exclaimed that there were such fools in this world. For the sake of those irrelevant people, they actually got themselves in.

"There are such people?" Yan Di said in disbelief: "It is naturally good for him to be in love with the people, but he also took himself in for the sake of the people. Isn't this a fool?"

Yang Feng sighed lightly: "He is indeed a fool, but I hope that the Ming Dynasty will have more fools like him, which will definitely be a great thing for the Ming Dynasty."

Yan Di immediately blushed. Yang Feng's words were quite accusing. His slogans were clamoring, and once they were serious, they immediately became sad.

Gou Xingma was also a little curious. Judging from the tone of the Duke of the People, if possible, he would still plan to win Li Yan in the future. It seems that the Duke of the People highly valued this bandit.

Gou Xingma did guess Yang Feng’s thoughts, but it also depends on whether Li Yan is tactful. If this guy is really obsessed with it, don’t blame him for being harsh.

Looking at the smoke and the explosions on the city, Yang Feng couldn't help but sigh. He felt a little uncomfortable when he recalled the cities he had seen that had been destroyed by bandits along the way.

Sometimes he wanted to mobilize all the troops for a moment, surrounded Li Zicheng and the others with lightning speed, and then wiped out one fell swoop, but in the end he suppressed it.

If Li Zicheng and the others were wiped out now, then so many people from the past would be in vain.

Nearly three hundred years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the gentry and landlords in Jiangnan have become cancers. After so many years of evolution, they have formed huge networks of interests, relying on the Ming Dynasty's body and constantly sucking the blood of the Ming Dynasty. Unless the Ming Dynasty collapses, their behavior will not stop. Whoever dares to stop them is their undying enemy.

For example, 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 gentry in Jiangnan, Yang Feng is no different from the demon. This guy not only opened a monster like the Ming Dynasty Royal Trading Company to steal their business, but last year he even offered the emperor a plan to work together as a gentry and pay food together.

This one-in-one job and one-in-one job is a sharp sword that stabs their hearts. If this is the case, then the welfare of the scholars they are proud of will disappear completely without labor service and without food. This is simply a waste of all scholars' jobs.

He thought that although Yang Feng had already become Duke Xinguo, the entire Ming Dynasty court was willing to have personal relationships with him and could count them. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was always in the enemy.

However, our Grand Official Yang didn't care about this. If it weren't for this, Zhu Youxiao wouldn't trust him so much. He let such a powerful army of Jiangning Army wander outside the control of the court and had no suspicion.

This is not only because Yang Feng gives him a large sum of money every year, but because in his opinion, people like Yang Feng who offended the whole world will never rebel because no one will respond.

Just as Yang Feng was stunned and dazed, Song Ye walked to him and whispered: "Dude, someone has come from the palace in the capital."

"His Majesty sent someone?"

Yang Feng was slightly stunned. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a eunuch wearing royal blue clothes standing more than a hundred meters away looking at him.

"Huh...it's him?"

It seems that after the person came, Yang Feng smiled and greeted the person, "Haha, Eunuch Cao, why are you so busy and have time to come here today?"

The person who came was Cao Dazhong, who is currently the eunuch in charge of the seal of the imperial horse supervisor.

Speaking of Cao Dazhong, this person is an old acquaintance.

When Yang Feng first arrived, he relied on Cao Dazhong, who was the eunuch in Nanjing at that time, and became the Qianhu House of Jiangdongmen, and today he has reached the peak step by step. From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that Cao Dazhong is Yang Feng’s noble person.

Seeing Yang Feng walking towards him, Cao Dazhong also laughed and greeted him, "Long time no see, the Duke is getting more and more energetic. Isn't our family bored in Beijing and want to come out for activities? It just so happened that His Majesty was going to give you something, but if you lack an errand, our family volunteered."

Yang Feng also smiled: "Haha, the relationship is good. I will accompany Eunuch Cao tonight to have a few drinks. We will not return until we get drunk!"

"That's all."
