Chapter 122: The Unlucky Xia Houheng
When Yang Feng was promoted to commander of Jiangning Guard, there were naturally some people who were happy and some were worried.
As Yang Feng's business partner, Cao Dazhong was naturally secretly happy. The higher the official position, the greater the power, the stronger the cooperative relationship between him and Yang Feng would be. To be honest, Yang Feng's original position as a fifth-rank thousand household was indeed too low. Even Cao Dazhong could not do it even if he wanted to date Yang Feng.
The ancients had the idea of giving up the tribute, but this "full" must also have a degree. If the status of the two parties is too different, even if Cao Dazhong wants to "full". This is like the later Shanghai ministerial-level municipal party secretary could not be called brothers like a small department-level county magistrate.
Now Yang Feng has been promoted to the third-rank commander. Although he is still a little worse than Cao Dazhong, the eunuch in Nanjing, the status of the two sides is at least not that disparate. To put it bluntly, Yang Feng is now qualified to talk to Cao Dazhong. If Yang Feng has more than a thousand elite soldiers in his hands, it will be even more points.
Cao Dazhong was happy, but Xu Hongji, as Duke of Wei, was unhappy. Originally, Yang Feng was like an ant in his eyes, and was the kind of existence that could be trampled to death at any time. The reason why one of them did not move was because Cao Dazhong stood behind Yang Feng, and behind Cao Dazhong was the powerful nine thousand-year-old Eunuch Wei.
However, although he could not touch him openly, Xu Hongji secretly colluded with Liao Yongquan, the Minister of War of Nanjing, to use the secret tricks to transfer Yang Feng to Zhenjiang Prefecture to destroy the Japanese pirates, and wanted to use the Japanese pirates to destroy this annoying guy. But what happened in the world was so unexpected. Yang Feng went to Zhenjiang Prefecture for a walk, and not only was not killed by the Japanese pirates, but instead lifted the siege of Zhenjiang Prefecture and wiped out the Japanese pirates.
When the news reached the capital, the emperor who was very happy in the long side was promoted to the commander of Jiangning Guard. After hearing the news, Xu Hongji only felt ten thousand rushing past in his heart.
Although Xu Hongji, as the Duke of Wei and the garrison of Nanjing, had thousands of soldiers under his command, he could only show off his might in Nanjing. Once he left Nanjing, he would be able to do so. This was also the reason why he wanted to design Yang Feng that he had to bring Liao Yongquan, the Minister of War in Nanjing last time. This time, it was much more difficult to deal with him after Yang Feng was promoted to commander of Jiangning Guard.
It would be fine. At the moment, he had something even more upset to wait for him to deal with. Seeing the guy kneeling in front of him and crying, Xu Hongji felt upset.
"Dude, Lord Liao, Xiaguan really doesn't want to go to Fengyang. Moreover, Xiaguan has never done anything to be sorry for you and the other two, but now he has suddenly been removed from his position as commander. Xiaguan is dissatisfied!"
In the study of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, Duke of Wei Xu Hongji, Secretary of the Ministry of War Liao Yongquan, and Duke of British Zhang Weixian sat in their seats. Between them, Xiahou Heng, commander of the Jiangning Guard who came from Jiangning to cry.
Xiahou Heng felt that he was really a person who was living in trouble at home and came from heaven. He closed the door in Jiangning and became his own local emperor. He went to the street to tease the big girl and his wife every day. After returning home, he did something that men loved to do with his concubines, but this comfortable day was about to end. After receiving the article from the Ministry of War in Beijing the day before yesterday, he felt as if he was bolt from the blue. He was actually dismissed from the position of commander and transferred to Fengyang as deputy garrison.
On the surface, this transfer seems to be a high-profile place. After all, Fengyang is a place of prosperity, and the position of deputy garrison seems to be of high power. But in fact, no one in the Ming Dynasty knows that Fengyang is a big cage. If any father-in-law in the palace loses power or is disgusted by the emperor, eight out of nine will be transferred to Fengyang to see the imperial tomb. Xiahou Heng, who is already used to living in Jiangning and Nanjing Huahua World, let him go to Fengyang to be a deputy garrison, which means he will go to jail.
When Xiahou Heng thought of this, he couldn't help but feel sad, and tears couldn't help but burst out.
Looking at Xiahou Heng who was kneeling in front of him and crying with tears in his eyes and nose, Xu Hongji felt distraught. He was both angry with Yang Feng, a guy who could only make trouble for him, and also angry with Xiahou Heng's incompetence. He just transferred him to Fengyang, and was not asking him to go to the execution ground, why did he cry like this?
However, although he was unhappy, Xu Hongji patiently comforted: "Commander Xiahou, we just knew about your transfer to Fengyang. Since the court's official documents have been sent to you, it cannot be changed. So the only thing you can do now is to obey the court's orders and rush to Fengyang to take office immediately.
But you don’t have to worry. Lord Liao will not sit idly by the way of your affairs. Although Fengyang is relatively remote, you just need to rest there for a while, and when you have the chance, I and Lord Liao will transfer you back from Fengyang. At that time, the position of the commander of Jiangning Guard will still be yours."
"Or it?"
Xiahou Heng immediately stopped crying, and his pair of red and swollen eyes looked at Xu Hongji, saying in disbelief: "Mr., do you think this is serious?"
"Nonsense, do you think I will coax you up without any trouble?" Xu Hongji snorted coldly: "The reason why Yang Feng is so rampant is that he relies on Cao Dazhong's power, but Cao Dazhong cannot stay in Nanjing forever. The eunuch in Nanjing's responsibilities are rotated every five years. If I remember correctly, Cao Dazhong arrived in Nanjing in the first year of Tianqi. As long as Cao Dazhong left Nanjing, at that time, wouldn't Yang Feng be a third-rank commander who wants to pinch the round and flatten it if he wants to?"
Speaking of this, a trace of light flashed in Xu Hongji's eyes. Originally, the conflict between him and Yang Feng was only due to money, but now after continuous confrontation and fermentation, the hatred between the two sides has become increasingly deeper and deeper, and it is difficult to reconcile even if you want to reconcile.
At this time, the British Duke Zhang Weixian on the side smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, don't forget that after Yang Feng served as the commander of Jiangning Guard, their food and salary supplement will be completely controlled by the Ministry of War. At that time, as long as Lord Liao blocks their food and salary, I want to see if Yang Feng can still be so arrogant."
"Yes...this is the reason." Xu Hongji's eyes lit up. "When we stuck with the food and wages of the Thousand Households in Jiangdongmen, Yang Feng could use his own money to subsidize them. Now that he served as the commander of the Jiangning Guard, tens of thousands of people in the entire ward have to eat. I have to see if he can support so many poor military households by his own efforts. Once there is no food, those poor military households and thousands of households will definitely cause trouble. Once a chaos occurs, even a mutiny occurs, the court will definitely pursue it. I have to see how many brains he has enough to cut."
