"Mr. Cui has been awarded too much. If I have free time, I will definitely visit Master Cui's mansion!"

Yang Feng did not refuse Cui Chengxiu's kindness, but agreed readily.

Cui Chengxiu was also very happy to see Yang Feng agreeing to his invitation. Although he was leaning against Wei Zhongxian, he was also the Minister of War and became an official position. Originally, no one except the emperor and Eunuch Wei could let him down, but Yang Feng was different.

As the emperor's most trusted confidant, and also a person who has made great achievements in the Ming Dynasty and has heavy troops. You can love him or hate him, but you can't ignore him.

Cui Chengxiu is naturally no exception. Although he, the Minister of War, seems to be in charge of the selection, awarding, training, vehicles, weapons management and other decrees of officers in the World Guards, Yang Feng, the general of Nanjing, is nominally under his jurisdiction.

But in fact, for a person like Yang Feng who is rich, food and soldiers, the Ministry of War has actually had very little constraints on him. With his extraordinary friendship with the emperor, it can be said that as long as Yang Feng does not rebel, he can almost go sideways in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Now that such a person who is important in the court has accepted the olive branch he has handed over, Cui Chengxiu would be too stupid if she doesn't know how to do it.

Cui Chengxiu was overjoyed and said, "Since the Marquis is willing to appreciate his face, as the saying goes, it is better to choose a day than to meet the day. Tonight, the officials will serve as the host and invite the Marquis to visit the mansion and have a glass of wine. I wonder what you are thinking?"

While talking, the two of them had already walked into the house. Yang Feng sat down and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Cui, we can put the drink aside first. This marquis visited the door today, but he had some serious matters and wanted to seek help from the Ministry of War."

"Mr. Marquis, please tell me." Cui Chengxiu also said seriously: "I will never refuse anything that the Ministry of War can do."

Seeing Cui Chengxiu appearing as if she was obliged from the beginning, Yang Feng nodded secretly. Although Cui Chengxiu is a corrupt official who uses any means to make money in the clear stream, in fact, this guy has a good ability to do business. For those Donglin Party members who say they are for the country and the people but have no ability to do business, he would rather deal with people like Cui Chengxiu.

"Since Lord Cui is so generous, I will be straight to the point." Yang Feng said slowly: "You also know that I wiped out all the pirates Zheng Zhilong and other pirates a few days ago and restored Bon Port. This time, the capital was to request the imperial court to station troops in Taiwan and set up an official government, and to drive the Dutch away and restore the entire territory of Taiwan, and then use this as a springboard to march towards the South China Sea."

Cui Chengxiu nodded when she heard this. He also participated in the morning court the day before yesterday. Naturally, he saw the confrontation between him and Han Yu. Yang Feng told the emperor and the ministers in the court that he had a good reputation after conquering Nanyang. He actually recognized Yang Feng's plan, but this kind of thing was too involved. Not to mention him, even his backer Wei Zhongxian dared to make a statement.

Although Cui Chengxiu is famous for his greed for money, this does not mean that his IQ is indebted. On the contrary, he can make a bloody journey among thousands of troops and become a high school Jinshi and a minister of the Ministry of War. This means that his IQ is definitely higher than that of ordinary people. As soon as Yang Feng finished speaking, he roughly understood Yang Feng’s purpose after he thought about it.

After thinking about it, he slowly said: "Mr. Marquis, the official knows that you have great ambitions. If the official is expected, you must have the imperial court send troops and Jiangning troops to use troops in Nanyang together. Is that true?"

“That’s right!”

Yang Feng was not surprised that Cui Chengxiu could guess his purpose. If Cui Chengxiu had no ability, he would be the leader of Wei Zhongxian and the Five Tigers.

"Where does the marquis hope the marquis will draw?"

"I believe that there are only two places where the troops are worthy of use, one is the 30,000 army in the Beijing camp, and the other is the 50,000 new army that Lu Xiangsheng is now training!"

Cui Chengxiu glanced at Yang Feng helplessly: "Mr. Marquis, are you kidding the Xiaguan? The Beijing camp is burdened with the safety of the capital. How can it be mobilized at will? As for the new army trained by Lu Xiangsheng... it is also a large army valued by His Majesty. In recent years, thieves in the Ming Dynasty have emerged everywhere. His Majesty also hopes that Lu Xiangsheng will train the new army as soon as possible and then quell the rebellion. How can it be mobilized easily? Otherwise, you can choose another army."

Yang Feng rolled his eyes, "Mr. Cui, then you can choose a team that I can fight."

Cui Chengxiu was also stumped. Looking at the Ming Dynasty today, there are only a few troops that can be fought. The most powerful one is naturally the Jiangning Army under Yang Feng's command, followed by the Beijing Camp that experienced the Liaodong War.

If the new army trained by Lu Xiangsheng could form an army, its combat effectiveness would not be found. After all, practice has proved that Lu Xiangsheng is indeed a rare general. However, these two armies were either Zhu Youxiao-gun visited his family to save his life or were prepared to be used to wipe out the bandits, and that would never be moved.

Compared with these armies, the few that are short of the tens of thousands of Liaodong troops under Sun Chengzong's command, but this army still has to guard against the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong, so it is impossible to move.

Then the only remaining Xuanda army is the army, but the elite army that used to fight against the Mongol Yuan has now become corrupt and degenerate. It would be better if he didn't improve his combat effectiveness. If he suggested transferring the Xuanfu army to Nanyang, Yang Feng would have to turn against him.

Cui Chengxiu was thinking hard, but Yang Feng didn't urge him, but just drank the tea sent by the servants.

But our Minister of War had been thinking for a long time but could not think of any other army in the Ming Dynasty that could capture Yang Feng's eyes.

In the end, Cui Chengxiu could only smile bitterly and spread her hands, "Marty, the old official has been thinking for a long time. He really can't think of which army he can mobilize. He must be the old official and don't want to help. He really can't think of which army there is still a big army in my Ming Dynasty that can be used."

Yang Feng put down the teacup and said leisurely: "I think I, the Ming Dynasty, claiming to have millions of troops, can't even be able to tune out a single army?"

Cui Chengxiu almost got anxious and begged: "My Marquis, you don't know that the Daming Wei Office has been deteriorated now, and there are only a few soldiers and horses that can be used. If it can be transferred to you, can the subordinates not be adjusted?"

Seeing Cui Chengxiu being really anxious, Yang Feng also said bluntly: "Since that's the case, can the Ministry of War mobilize 5,000 troops from Liaodong and hand them over to this marquis? And these 5,000 troops are best cavalry."

"Five thousand soldiers...or cavalry?"

Cui Chengxiu's face turned green, "Marty, although there are indeed many cavalry in Liaodong, these cavalry are the lifeblood of the Liaodong army. It would be strange if Sun Tuchen was willing to release people. In fact, according to the officials, it would be difficult to even transfer five thousand cavalry, even if it was five thousand infantrymen. You are not unaware of Sun Tuchen's temper. It is really difficult to steal things from him."

"That's how it is."

Yang Feng smashed his mouth, "You wrote a letter to Sun Duchen in the name of the Ministry of War, saying that you would mobilize 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry to Fujian to wait for the dispatch. This marquis can exchange them with three thousand muskets and thirty cannons. What do you think?"
