This time he went to the garrison yamen, Ma Mingfeng only brought Chang Sui Chunwang. He asked Wu Jing to take the others back to the boat, and then asked Yang Wencong to select a few of the remaining friends and go to the market to purchase supplies so that Ma Saichao's people could recognize him.

Although the guys under his command were beaten, most of them were slightly injured. Only one guy was beaten to the point of bleeding. However, after some treatment, it was no longer a big deal. Ma Mingfeng also agreed to them that each of them would give five taels of silver as a pension. Naturally, these people had no complaints, but became happy instead.

In addition, Yu Zhenghu did not leave either. The matter started because of him, so he could not just leave. So after following Ma Mingfeng, Li Qianhu and others didn't say much, so they protected the three of them in the middle and went to the garrison office together.

The group had just arrived at the gate of the garrison office, but saw someone walking out swaying. When they saw Li Qianhu, the man smiled exaggeratedly, "Oh, Li Qianhu is so lucky, I didn't expect it? I came out again? The commander not only did not make things difficult for me, but also gave me 100 taels of silver to comfort my injured heart. Hehe, this hundred taels is really easy to make money. Is it your salary for several months?"

Li Qianhu's face turned dark, but ignored his words and continued to walk forward.

At this time, Ma Saichao saw Ma Mingfeng among the soldiers, his face changed and he said loudly: "Boy, I was about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to be here. I told you, don't think you'll be fine if you arrive at the garrison yamen. If I want to pinch you to death, it's as simple as pinching a bed bug."

Li Qianhu said coldly: "Mr. Ma, this is the garrison yamen, not the government yamen, not the place where you want, not to mention that this is the guest of the commander, please give your attention."

However, Marseille Chao said disdainfully: "The guest of the commander? Just him? It's not that he gave you money to protect him, right? Hehe, don't talk about whether he is the guest of the commander or not. Even if he is really a friend of the commander, I don't care about this identity. This kid repeatedly snatched me from the face. If you don't catch him today, I'll take your surname!"

Li Qianhu sighed and said slowly: "Mr. Ma, you have already come out of the yamen, and you have the money from our commander. Even if this matter is over, how can you be entangled? I will let this young master be submissive to you. If it really doesn't work, then go to the restaurant for a meal. Let's just forget about this matter. This can be considered as giving our commander a face. How about it?"

Li Qianhu said this to give the other party a step. He thought the other party would be able to take advantage of the situation, but he didn't expect that Ma Saichao said with a chuckle: "If you want me to let him go, unless the sun hits the west, he will walk into the garrison yamen. I really can't do that to him, but I will send someone to wait for him here. As soon as he leaves the garrison yamen, I will destroy him immediately. I think when will you Li Qianhu protect him?"

Li Qianhu's face was cold and ignored Ma Saichao's words. He waved his hand and led everyone, Ma Mingfeng and others into the garrison yamen.

Ma Saichao watched the group enter the garrison yamen and sneered: "Guison yamen, hehe, I really think that kid can be saved here? How many generals in Anqing Guard have secretly surrendered to my father. You don't know at all. Since Li Jinbiao insists on protecting this kid, I will kill him so that you can see the power of your young master. If the Li surname is not enlightened, the young master will kill him. It's a pity that his ability will be good cannon fodder when resisting thieves in the future. But now Zhang Xianzhong has accepted the amnesty, so where are there any thieves? I am also troubled by me..."

Li Qianhu and Li Jinbiao, Ma Mingfeng and others naturally did not hear what Ma Saichao said. They entered the gate of the garrison yamen and went directly to the hall to meet the commander Xu Liangxian.

Xu Liangxian is a typical military officer with a dark face and a thick and thick appearance. Standing there, he looks like an iron tower, like Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms.

However, this person is not a purely rude man, and he speaks politely. When he heard that it was his old superior Liu Kongzhao who brought a handwritten letter, he immediately politely concluded the letter and greeted him.

In fact, it was the first time Ma Mingfeng and Liu Kongzhao met, but now he is deliberately exaggerating the relationship with Liu Kongzhao and briefly introduces Liu Kongzhao's recent situation.

The two of them were polite again, and Xu Liangxian turned the topic to Ma Saichao and said apologetically to Ma Mingfeng: "Brother, I'm really sorry. If you come to me and get into trouble, I can't help you. I can only find a way to escort you back to the port. As long as you leave, he can't do anything to you."

Ma Mingfeng quickly stood up and expressed his gratitude to Xu Liangxian. Then he opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he had to ninja.

However, Xu Liangxian saw this scene and asked, "I don't know what I have seen? Why not say it straight."

Ma Mingfeng thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, please forgive me for asking something that shouldn't be asked. Although I, Ming Dynasty, value civil servants are not as good as civil servants, generally speaking, military officers are not as good as civil servants, but after all, they are guarding one side. Especially now that my Ming Dynasty is internal and external troubles, the role of military generals is more obvious. All regions attach great importance to it. Anqing, as an important port along the river, is also winged to the security of Nanjing. Why does the adults seem to have no position they should have in the prefect Ma?"

After hearing this, Xu Liangxian was silent for a long time, and then sighed softly: "The specific reason is a long story. The system of my Ming Dynasty is rigid and the accumulated problems are getting deeper. These are all old problems. Needless to say, let's talk about the local situation in Anqing. As we all know, Anqing is a prosperous port, and taxes alone are an unimaginable huge sum of money. As the prefect of Anqing, Ma Wenlong certainly knows this. He firmly controls the taxes in his own hands. It is already a great favor to be able to pay 30% of the money we should allocate to us.

In addition, he also levies heavy taxes to the military households, forcing military households to build palaces for the government, and even farms for him. This has caused some military households to be unbearable and can only be forced to flee. Now the garrisons in various places are dissatisfied with the staff, and Anqing is particularly short of soldiers. Last time Zhang Xianzhong robbed Anqing, the soldiers resisted bravely, but Ma Wenlong still sang and danced and drank and enjoyed all night long. That's fine. We asked him to allocate food and grass, but he said that this was military and political affairs and was not within his jurisdiction..."

Ma Mingfeng's face turned pale after hearing this, and at the same time he felt that Xu Liangxian was really weak. In his impression, there was a mutiny in Anqing in the late Ming Dynasty, and the commanders were killed in the mutiny. Then the person who was killed was not Xu Liangxian, right?

However, it is reasonable to think about it this way. It is precisely because of Xu Liangxian's weakness that a mutiny triggered. If he had been tougher, perhaps the mutiny would not have happened.

So Ma Mingfeng said to Xu Liangxian: "This is just an adult. If you change your late child, you will definitely not be able to bear such an official. You may have cut him down at that time."

How could Xu Liangxian not hear the ironic remarks in Ma Mingfeng's words? He sighed and said, "Actually, I couldn't help but want to kill him at that time. It was a serious crime to kill the imperial officials. At the same time, I had to rely on him to deliver supplies, so I could only endure it. After all, no matter what, he could allocate us thousands of taels of silver every year. If another official is another, it will take time to re-establish the relationship, and I don't know what kind of character the other party is. If I were a more greedy official, I would probably have no place to cry."

After hearing this, Ma Mingfeng couldn't help but ask: "But if such a traitor continues, what should we do if Zhang Xianzhong's thief army comes again? This is still a bandit. If the Qing cavalry goes south, what should we do?"

"How is this possible? Zhang Xianzhong has been recruited, and the Qing army cannot come here. After all, with the Guanning Iron Cavalry of Governor Hong, I am a country like an iron barrel in the Ming Dynasty. If the Qing Dynasty is making trouble, it is a delusion to fight here." A trace of disdain flashed across Xu Liangxian's face and he said lightly.

"It's not that simple. According to the judgment of the young son, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely rebel again. Hong Chengchou will definitely be defeated. At that time, I, the Ming Dynasty, will have to deal with the joint attack between Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and the Qing army. How can Anqing avoid it in this situation?" Ma Mingfeng said firmly to Xu Liangxian in a deep voice.
