Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 132 Grasshopper
The Ministry of War refused to take responsibility, refused to stand out, and Yang Chao was absolutely unwilling to let his own people take risks. It seemed to be in a stalemate. Unexpectedly, someone took the initiative to find him at this time.

Feng Kezong, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, actively approached Yang Chao and expressed his willingness to work with Yang Chao.

Feng Kezong said that he got the full support of the Zhenfu Department and let him take full responsibility for this matter.

It can be said that Feng Kezong is the representative of Jinyiwei.

This incident was caused by Jin Yiwei, and Jin Yiwei had to deal with it. Otherwise, no matter what the outcome was, Jin Yiwei would not be able to go around. Jin Yiwei hoped that through atonement, the emperor would not deal with them too much afterwards.

This is a headache. The scholar's first target is still Jin Yiwei, so Jin Yiwei is the most distressed, and no one dares to take this hot potato.

I don't know where Feng Kezong's confidence came from. He actually believed in Yang Chao like a famous prostitute in Nanjing. He repays the credit.

It's just that if it's not done well, Feng Kezong may be the scapegoat.

Now Feng Kezong has confidence in Yang Chao, and if Yang Chao fails to do well, he will suffer, so he said that he and Yang Chao are of the same heart, like grasshoppers on the same rope.

Yang Chao didn't think so, it didn't matter to him to give Feng Kezong some credit, he could share wealth, but Yang Chao didn't want to die with Feng Kezong, a grasshopper, and couldn't share weal and woe.

Yang Chao made up his mind that he would never send troops and never hurt the scholar, so that no matter what the result was, he would have nothing to do with him. Yang Chao would just hide behind his back. As a military officer, he had no merit at all. Military merit lies in the head.

Therefore, if Yang Chao did well, he would make those high-ranking officials happy. If he didn't do well, he would cause trouble for his upper body, so he simply didn't show up, making them want to make trouble for him, and they had nowhere to start.

As for the head of military merit, Yang Chao already has it, but he can't report it. Yang Chao only needs a way to report his merits.

If you do well this time, you will naturally have everything. If you don’t do well, you can get in touch with some high-ranking officials of the Sixth Ministry in the process, and then bypass the Bingbei Road and other yamen, and directly transfer the credit to the Sixth Ministry. I believe it is not difficult. .

After all, for things like suppressing bandits, there are also civilian officials in the Six Ministries, especially the Ministry of War, who want to share some credit. This is their political achievement.

Now that Feng Kezong jumped out and took the initiative to find Yang Chao, let Feng Kezong, a grasshopper, do the dirty work, and Yang Chao hide behind to make suggestions and enjoy the success.Anyway, he was the one who asked to do things on his own initiative, and if he wanted to die, let him die alone.

The two had a detailed discussion in Meixianglou, Feng Kezong was always very polite, almost flattering, and hoped that Yang Chao would take him to play with him.

Yang Chao also showed a welcoming attitude, saying: "Since Mr. Feng is interested, then you are welcome. I really need Mr. Feng's help."

When Feng Kezong heard that he had something to do, his face was happy, but his tone was very tight. He was not a fool. This time he took the risk of asking the governor for this errand because he wanted to gain credit, not to get himself into it.

Feng Kezong is a foreigner, not a native of Nanjing, nor a hereditary Jinyiwei. He climbed up step by step. Now that he has reached a thousand households, it is too difficult to go up to another level, unless he can make some extraordinary achievements.

Feng Kezong said cautiously: "Master Yang, please tell me, if it can be done, I am obliged to do so."

If he succeeds in the future, the more he does, the greater the credit.

If he failed, those too dirty jobs would probably put him to death, so they must not be accepted.

Feng Kezong is shrewd to be able to start from scratch and reach thousands of households in Jinyiwei.

Yang Chao said with a smile: "It's nothing, just let Mr. Feng send some people to post a few notices at various gates in Nanjing City to scare the scholars."

Speaking of which, Yang Chao took out the notice that he had just brought back from the Ministry of Rites.

When Feng Kezong heard that it was a matter of posting a notice, he was much less worried. He even read the notice carefully, and after finding that there was no danger, he took over the job in a big way.

Feng Kezong happily left with the notice.

Yang Chao stayed in Meixiang Building alone, drinking tea slowly, thinking carefully.

This Feng Kezong Yang Chao has already known him, this person is also a guy who likes Qinhuai wind and rain very much, and he has a good taste in life.

The furniture and furnishings in the house are all made of mahogany, and even the windows and jacarandas are made of red sandalwood, which is extremely luxurious.

Feng Kezong was just a thousand households of Jinyiwei, logically it is impossible to support such a rich life, obviously this person is not a good person, probably not much different from Xu Zhongxiao's Jinyiwei hundred households.

Yang Chao is no longer surprised by this. When a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers. The Ming Dynasty has gone downhill now, and there are all kinds of evildoers. A corrupt Jinyiwei Qianhu is nothing.

As long as Feng Kezong didn't provoke Yang Chao, Yang Chao wouldn't provoke him either.

If the sense of justice is over the top, if he wants to fight against this trend, I am afraid that Yang Chao will be the enemy of the whole world. He draws his sword and looks around in a daze, not knowing where to start.

Feng Kezong did a good job, so he came to report to Yang Chao at night, and posted all the notices.

Yang Chao expressed his satisfaction and praised Feng Kezong.

The notice that Feng Kezong asked to post this time was to go to the student registration notice, warning the scholars in the city to disperse within three days, otherwise their student registration will be removed.

This should have been the second step of Yang Chao's plan. The first step was to seal the four gates. Unfortunately, the Ministry of War did not show up. Yang Chao didn't want to gamble with his own soldiers. He wanted Feng Qizhen to take Jin Yiwei to seal the gate. If they weren't fools, they wouldn't agree, so Yang Chao simply didn't close the door, and started from the second step. As for the effect, who cares about him, let's keep himself safe first.

Early the next morning, Yang Chao followed Feng Kezong and wandered around the street in casual clothes, wanting to see the effect.

Outside Jubaomen and Shuiximen, there were indeed some scholars dressed as scholars, who were leaving the city with their heads down and their faces depressed. These were children who were worried about being expelled from their studies. It is inevitable to be disappointed. After losing a rooster fight, they are all depressed. What about scholars like He Kang.

Apparently the sign worked.

Turning around at several city gates is like this.

Then I went to several yamen.

It turned out that wherever the frustrated scholars left the city gate, the scholars here in the yamen became more angry, yelling, and even cursing and clamoring.

The notice can indeed scare some scholars, but it also irritates others.

Yang Chao observed carefully, and found that most of these scholars were not too old, and they might not be scholars. Going to study would be a threat to them, but instead of leaving, they became more unscrupulous, either because of the sense of justice of these scholars The list goes off, either these scholars have no confidence in themselves to pass the exam, or they have both.

In short, the scholars left at this time without fame are basically die-hards.

"Master Yang, what are we doing today?"

Seeing the effect of the notice, Feng Kezong became a little more confident, but seeing the scholars making more noise, he also became more uneasy. He was anxious to do something, otherwise he would have no idea.

But Yang Chao said: "Lord Feng, please be patient and wait!"

"Wait?"

Feng Kezong looked worried.
