Chapter 162 Peng Feng

In the hall, Emperor Longqing listened attentively to the young man in front of him to talk about the things in the southeast in a calm tone. Duke Cheng Guo, Chen Hong, who was standing by, looked at the opportunity and asked a few questions from time to time, while the old god Xu Wei was sitting there drinking herbal tea.

Qian Yuan is really a perfect plan, and he can also show his talents with his employ... Xu Wei thought so in his heart that Peng Feng has been studying the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. His father and grandfather have both made great achievements and were well-organized in his narrative.

The most important thing is that last year, when Xiyuan changed drastically, Peng Feng led his guards to the Prince Yu's Mansion, and later entered Xiyuan and stayed by Emperor Longqing's side. His Majesty was very valued and even prepared to give the title of Jinyiwei Qianhu.

"Wusong Navy?" Chen Hong suddenly asked, "I remember this is under the command of General Lu Bin, Wusong. He was a close friend with Lord Qian many years ago."

Duke Cheng said unfairly: "Qian Zhancai went south to inspect the southeastern sea border when he encountered war. He was transferred to the Wusong Navy in the face of war, but he did not exceed his authority."

You dead eunuch, Xu Wei snorted coldly in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, "Eunuch Chen is disliked when he sees Zhan like this... No wonder, Gaoge is disliked when he sees Zhan like this."

Emperor Longqing was speechless and gave eye drops to the eunuch in front of me... Although he was unhappy, the relationship between Chen Hong and Gao Gong was acquiesced by Emperor Longqing.

Xu Wei chuckled, "Do your Majesty remember the memorial of Wang Bengu the day before yesterday?"

Emperor Longqing was too lazy to think about it, pointed at Xu Wei's nose and said.

Xu Wei honestly explained, "Wang Bengu mentioned that the army in Zhejiang was summoned and the two Zhejiang naval divisions were transferred, and the Wusong naval divisions were launched together."

Chen Hong was stunned for a moment, quickly lowered his head, feeling very regretful. It was actually the unlucky guy Wang Bengu summoned him.

Duke Cheng laughed in his heart and looked at Peng Feng, "Continue saying, since Qian Zhan has arrived in Zhenhai and cannot afford a war, why... what happened to Zhang Lian on the second day?"

Peng Feng calmly said calmly and without any hurry: "The next day after the young master arrived in Zhenhai, Fujian and Guangdong maritime merchants colluded with the pirate leader Zhang Lian who fled out of the sea, and first assassinated Jing Haibo, and then killed people and robbed people. Zhoushan was in chaos, Xu Bixi and Liu Jiao and other maritime merchant leaders were killed, and only Mao Haifeng and the injured Wang Zhi rushed into the mountains."

Duke Cheng said, "Fortunately Zhancai arrived in time, otherwise the internal turmoil in Zhoushan and the government army would definitely win a great victory, and business operations would be abolished."

"Why did Zhang Lian attack Wang Zhi?" Xu Wei asked in a slight question: "These two people have nothing to do with each other."

"Zhang Lian fled out of the sea and became a Japanese pirate, and he was unwilling to accept it..." Peng Feng hesitated and explained: "The government searched for Jinghaibo, and the southeast coast all thought that the court would impose a sea ban and abolish business..."

Xu Wei added at the right time: "Zhang Lian called himself the 'Flying Dragon Emperor' back then... Tsk tsk, his ambition was great, and he naturally had to get rid of Wang Zhi first, but Wang Zhi happened to be forced to escape by Wang Ben..."

This logic is barely consistent, and the details... Emperor Longqing could not consider these issues and asked: "Who is leading troops to the island to attack the thieves and capture Zhang Lian?"

"In order to maintain business affairs, the young master did not dare to make the army's flags clearly attack. He only selected a hundred people to guard the army, and then selected two hundred sharp soldiers from the army, totaling three hundred young and strong. He was led by Zhang Yuanxun, the general of Wen and Jin, and the pirates fled in one battle, capturing Zhang Lian and more than ten Fujian and Guangdong pirate leaders."

Xu Wei exclaimed, "Zhancai didn't personally attack?"

"Uh, the young master has also gone to the island." Peng Feng stammered: "But he didn't show up until he was sure that Jing Haibo survived."

"This is true. If Wang Zhi dies, it's really hard to say. Do you know whether Wang Zhi died at the hands of Zhang Lian or the hands of the official army." Xu Wei nodded and explained: "As long as Wang Zhi is not dead, the next thing will be simple."

"Mr. Xu said," Peng Feng continued: "The young master wanted to summon Southeast sea merchants to gather in Zhenhai on June 15th, so that Jinghai Bo Wang Zhi would appear, so as to show that the court had no intention of banning the sea and restore trade."

Chen Hong glanced at Xu Wei and Peng Feng with a slanted eyes. Although there was no evidence, he keenly realized that the two of them sang and rehearsed... the tacit understanding was as if they had been rehearsed!

However, Emperor Longqing didn't think so. After a long period of anxiety, he couldn't help but smile... The good news and memorials brought by Peng Feng meant too much.

First of all, if you can't afford a war, you don't have to consider how much food and money you will consume in the Southeast war, and it will put a heavy burden on the court.

Secondly, Wang Zhi is not dead, which means that Qian Yuan is likely to resume business operations in a short period of time, so the Ministry of Revenue will no longer have to worry about it, and the internal transportation warehouse will no longer have to worry about it.

Again, Wang Zhi's strength was greatly damaged this time... In Gao Gong's words, whether Wang Zhi wanted to do it or not, he no longer had the ability to cause trouble again, which is of great benefit to the southeast coastal areas and long-term trading.

"Zhan Cai is still able to see it accurately." Emperor Longqing smiled and said, "In fact, Zhan Cai went south all the way and sent a letter back to Beijing. As early as ten days ago, Zhan Cai mentioned it in the letter, and he may have external concerns, but it turns out."

Xu Wei immediately showed curiosity, "Your Majesty, what do Zhan Cai say in his heart?"

"Zhan Cai sent a guard to Taiping County to find out the news. Tan Qizhi actually fought with pirates near the coast outside Taiping County. He was defeated and fled ashore. He was captured by Zhejiang Censor Wang Bengu, so as to impeach Jing Haibo and rebel again." Emperor Longqing explained: "Wang Bengu only grabbed Tan Qizhi, but did not ask about the origin of the pirates."

"Oh, that pirate is Zhang Lian!" Duke Cheng said with a slight interest: "Your Majesty is wise. If Zhan Cai hadn't gone south, something really would have happened!"

Unlike Duke Cheng who was only concerned about holding his stinky feet, Xu Wei cursed with a dark face: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be over. Wang Bengu almost ruined the big thing!"

Emperor Longqing also nodded fiercely, "If Zhan Cai hadn't personally visited the island to rescue Wang Zhi, that would have been a big deal!"

"The emperor is wise, Lord Qian is really well-known." Chen Hong smiled and complimented: "The rebellious pirates on Zhoushan are afraid that there will be thousands of rebels, and the Qian family guards will win with one blow... I have long heard that the Qian family guards are elite in the world..."

"Is it over?" Xu Wei stood up and cursed: "Your Majesty also knows that the Qian family guards need your instigation and hint!"

"Qian Zhancai formed a guard team, only 200 people, guarding his hometown, and entering Fujian and Jiangxi to attack the thieves, have many military achievements. Do you think Qian Zhan can rebel with only 200 guards?"

"By the way, last year Peng Feng escorted His Majesty into the West Garden. According to your Chen Hong's intention, there should be no guards led by Peng Feng that day?"

"Yes, you, Chen Hong, were not in Prince Yu's Mansion at that time, and maybe you have other plans!"

"Okay!" Emperor Longqing shouted, "Wen Chang, your temperament is also a blessing for you to be with Xiyuan for many years!"
