"Milord, Cao Bianjiao and Qin Feng are here!”
On the second day, Cao Wenzhao led Qin Feng and the others to Hong Chengchou's door. Cao Wenzhao had gone to report.
"Oh? Let them in!" Hong Chengchou said with interest.
"Yes, my lord!" After saying that, Cao Wenzhao came out and waved at Qin Feng and the others, allowing them to enter.
"Cao Bianjiao!"
"Qin Feng!"
"Greetings, Milord!" The two of them cupped their hands and bowed.
"Alright, alright, get up!" When he saw the two of them, Hong Chengchou also smiled. It was really because these two people had given him face.
"Thank you, my lord!" Hearing this, the two of them stood up with solemn expressions.
"Good, you are indeed a young hero. You are burly and powerful, and you have an imposing appearance.”Hong Chengchou said,
"Come, tell me, what exactly happened this time? How could they achieve such great results in winter?”
"Sir, it's like this…"
Then, Cao Bianjiao told him how he had led his men to attack these people.
Qin Feng was also making up for the gaps, occasionally adding some things that Cao Bianjiao did not mention. Of course, it also highlighted the difficulty of their advance and the heavy losses of the battle.
Hong Chengchou listened to Qin Feng and the others, but he didn't say anything. He just listened with a smile and nodded from time to time.
She wondered if he had heard all of this.
"Oh right, I heard that you brought your soldiers with you?”Hong Chengchou asked after they finished speaking.
"Yes!" Qin Feng nodded and said.
"Alright, let's go. Bring me to see your soldiers!”Hong Chengchou said with interest.
"Yes, sir!"
What else could Qin Feng say? The higher-ups were interested. Qin Feng, Cao Bianjiao, Cao Wenzhao, and the other commander-in-chief, He Huchen, headed toward the camp outside.
When they arrived at the military camp, they headed straight for the place where Qin Feng's army was stationed.
At this moment, these people were still training. They were still wearing their white cloaks and brandishing their spears. Their auras were like rainbows.
"Alright, are these the soldiers of your Brave Battalion? As expected of an elite army!"
Hong Chengchou praised as he watched the people in front of him begin training under the leadership of their respective chiefs.
He was someone who knew soldiers well. Naturally, he could tell what was for show and what was for real.
"Sir, you flatter me!" Qin Feng smiled humbly.
"Haha, Qin Feng, you're too humble. If my Great Ming was like these soldiers under your command...
Why should we fear the rebellion of the bandits and the invasion of the Tartars?”Hong Chengchou sighed.
However, as if the atmosphere was a little depressing, Hong Chengchou suddenly smiled and said,
"Oh right, Qin Feng is President Qian now?”
"That's right. I have to thank all of you for giving me this opportunity. That's why I was able to become the current Chief Qian from a military household!”Qin Feng said gratefully.
"Hahaha, this is all your own ability. Otherwise, even if I wanted to promote you, I couldn't do anything!”
Hong Chengchou seemed to have been spoken to his heart. He revealed a wide smile and looked especially bold. He stroked his beard and smiled.
"Milord is too modest. There are often thousand-li horses, but there aren't often Bo Le!”Qin Feng flattered him at the right time.
"Let's not talk about whether we can be considered as thousand-li horses or not, but without the talent of the Governor, I'm afraid that we can only be a noob forever!”
"Hahaha, you!" Seeing this, Hong Chengchou laughed.
"Alright, I'll take note of it. However, in the future, I still have to be more thorough.
I know that all of you are young people, so you can't help but be a little impulsive. But remember, think twice before you act!”Hong Chengchou warned.
"Yes, sir. This subordinate will remember your teachings!”Qin Feng didn't know what was going on, but he didn't object to what Hong Chengchou said.
Hong Chengchou was a shrewd person. Looking at Qin Feng's expression, how could he not see that this person had not understood what he was talking about.
"Last time, the matter at the Yan residence caused quite a stir. There was still a scholar studying outside.
"This matter has even reached me. Fortunately, I discovered it in time and swept the tail clean."
"Otherwise, if word gets out, you brat, let alone this credit, I'm afraid that even your head won't be able to continue existing!
How dare you slaughter an entire family? If it weren't for the fact that the war was so intense, you would have been arrested long ago!”
Hong Chengchou's expression turned grim.
Upon hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Qin Feng's brows twitched and the hair on his body stood on end. He almost had to bear the consequences.
Now, it seemed that Hong Chengchou also knew what the big picture was. He also knew that this person was a ruthless person.
He had swept his tail clean previously. He had probably dealt with her directly, right?!
If such a matter were to spread, it would not be a good thing for him, the governor.
In times like these, it was better to avoid trouble.
"Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. This subordinate was rash!”Qin Feng hurriedly said with a face full of shame and gratitude.
"Yes! It was understandable for young people to be a little impetuous. However, it was better not to do such things.
"Back then, King Kaiping was so brave. However, in the end, he killed too many people and left behind a…" Hong Chengchou did not say anything else.
King Kaiping and Chang Yuchun were not people he could comment on. He could just mention them a little.
"Yes, thank you for your teachings, sir!" Qin Feng said.
"Yes, but you've also made a contribution. This time, I'm afraid it's more than enough for you to be a guard.
If you want to go higher, it will depend on your performance!”Hong Chengchou gave Qin Feng a knock and then praised him again.
"Thank you for your promotion, sir!" Qin Feng said.
"It's also His Majesty who is perceptive and generous!”Hong Chengchou said.
"Alright, let's go. It's already the end of the year. When the spring comes, we will launch a large-scale counterattack and completely annihilate the rebels!”
After saying that, the group of them returned directly. The following days also fell into peace.
Moreover, Hong Chengchou had also allowed them to spend the new year here. The war would not start until spring, so there was no hurry. It could be considered as a reward for them to spend the new year here.
Moreover, there was another joyous occasion. Hong Chengchou also wanted to let the emperor have a happy new year.
He reported what had happened here. As expected, Chongzhen was happy, and the rewards could not be said to be stingy.
He had given Hong Chengchou many titles and praised him, but they were all empty titles. He had only just taken office.
Even if they had made achievements, it was not easy to obtain real power. However, the other people mentioned had their own rewards.
The rewards became more generous the further he went down. The main reason was that he was promoted quickly. The rest might not even be comparable to a verbal praise from the Emperor.
After all, that would mean that the Emperor took you seriously!
Cao Bianjiao was directly conferred the position of a general, a third-grade official!
As for Qin Feng, he also became a guard as he wished. He also said that if he continued to make contributions, he would not be stingy with rewards.
However, it was hard to say whether it would come true at that time. After all, he had a good relationship with the Cao family in the imperial court.
As for the rest, who would recognize a mere fifth-grade official like him…
