Chapter 1075: Chess Fall (6)
Under the sniping of the Jin Wei Mansion's serial strategy, Zhang Guangsheng had to pack his luggage and leave Kunguan City, as for his fate, no one cares, life is like this, when the opportunity has appeared in front of you again and again, and you ignore it because of arrogance, and when one day you suddenly want to seize the opportunity again, the door of fate has been closed.
Chang'an's eyes were focused on the new coach of Kunguan, the coach was called Zhang Wutao, this is a very unfamiliar name, I have never heard of it, the Jin Wei Mansion began to operate rapidly, collecting all the information about Zhang Wutao, his background, preferences, his character, and weaknesses.
Soon, Jin Weifu got all the information about Zhang Wutao from Yang Mi.
In Daming Palace, in the official room of the King of Jin, Song Tian, the commander of the Jin Guard Mansion, was reporting the information he had just obtained to Guo Song, the king of Jin, and Zhang Qiu'an, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was also sitting aside.
"His Royal Highness Qiyu, this Zhang Wutao is about forty years old, a native of Luoyang, he was a well-known local scoundrel when he was young, and later found a relationship to enter Luoyang County to catch fast, ten years ago he was promoted to Luoyang County Catcher, and three years ago he was promoted to Luoyang County Lieutenant, but he only served as a county lieutenant for two months, and then he was transferred to Luoyang Jiucheng Defense Envoy to serve as a soldier Cao to participate in the military, and was promoted to Jiucheng Defense Deputy Envoy in August last year, and now he has been promoted to the commander of Cuihan Du, and he has been crowned the general of the right Xiaowei."
Guo Song and Zhang Qiu'an looked at each other when they heard this, a head catcher can actually be a general? It's ridiculous.
Song Tian smiled: "If His Highness knows that he is Liu Feng's best friend since childhood, it won't be strange!" ”
Guo Song laughed, "I said it! It turned out to be Liu Feng's confidant, but with such qualifications, how could Zhu Zhu agree? ”
Song Tian bowed down and said: "What His Highness sees is this person's real resume, but Zhu Zhu may not know, Liu Feng controls the military department, and he can tailor a beautiful resume for Zhang Wutao." ”
Zhang Qiu'an was also really puzzled, he asked: "But for such an important position as Cuihan, Zhu Jun will use someone he is not familiar with?" ”
"Qi Xiangguo, we have also discussed this issue internally, we think there are three reasons, the first is whether Zhu Zhu trusts Liu Feng, the answer is obvious, the previous coach of Kuiguan was recommended by Liu Sigu, so as Xiangguo, Liu Feng recommended Coach Kuihan, Zhu Zhu has no reason not to accept.
Another reason is that there are basically no veterans who have followed Zhu Zhu for many years, Zhu Zhu has an army of 400,000 troops, most of which he is not familiar with, and some important generals are actively preparing for the attack on Li Na, so it is inconvenient to change generals on the spot.
And the third reason, although Kui Han is important, but compared to the upcoming Eastern Crusade, the importance of Kui Han in Zhu Zhu's heart is still a little weaker, this Zhang Wutao must have a beautiful defensive resume, which is enough to make Zhu Zhu tempted, so he will accept Liu Feng's recommendation. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Qiu'an couldn't help but sigh softly, "This Liu Feng is really a bastard!" ”
Guo Song smiled faintly: "Do you think he is a bastard because he uses people who are not virtuous, but from the perspective of competing for power, he uses this Zhang Wutao is a clever strategy, he can firmly control the 20,000 troops of Cuihan, we know that Liu Feng's weakness lies in military power, and with this 20,000 troops not too far from Luoyang, his waist is really straight." ”
After speaking, Guo Song asked again: "What is the character of this Zhang Wutao?" What weaknesses does he have? ”
"His Royal Highness Qiqi, this Zhang Wutao is very righteous in the rivers and lakes, hates all kinds of rules, likes to kowtow to people and worship his brothers, and he will reuse his subordinates who swear to him, and if he refuses to bow to him, he will kick him away.
He has a lot of weaknesses, it can be said that he eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has everything, but he believes that one of his biggest weaknesses is that he forgets his righteousness for profit, as long as there are benefits, it doesn't matter what system and rules there are. ”
Guo Song took a few steps with his hands in his hands and smiled slightly: "Since he likes profit, then we will cater to him and give him a chance to make a fortune." ”
………..
It has been five days since the new commander of the capital of Kunguan took office, and the strange behavior of the new commander has become the laughing stock of the soldiers after dinner.
For example, when he talked to ten Zhonglang generals, the first thing he did was to ask if they were willing to marry him as brothers, and if he agreed, he immediately asked his subordinates to kill chickens and prepare yellow paper, and if he didn't agree, he stripped Zhonglang generals of their military uniforms, drove them out of the barracks directly, and then promoted new people.
This ridiculous sworn brotherhood resulted in seven out of ten Zhonglang being replaced.
The second strange thing is that the daily point system has been abolished, the new commander and the predecessor Zhang Guangsheng are just the opposite, Zhang Guangsheng attaches great importance to the point Mao, the brigade commander and above the generals, every day Mao is the time to come to the Chinese army tent to participate in the point Mao, mistakenly hit a hundred military sticks, mistakenly hit three hundred military sticks twice, demoted one level, and if they miss three times, they will be directly beheaded. ”
The new commander-in-chief, on the other hand, abolished the system on his second day in office.
Zhang Guangsheng pays attention to eating rules, sleeping properly, and all kinds of behaviors are strictly regulated, and the new coach has abolished all the rules set by Zhang Guangsheng, which also makes people understand, the struggle for power! It's all about the current denial of the ex.
But the problem is that the new manager has abolished all the old rules, and his own new rules have not come out for a long time, causing all the soldiers to be a little confused.
The third strange thing is that prostitutes and wine merchants are allowed to enter the camp, which is strictly forbidden by Zhang Guangsheng, and every soldier has a specified time to leave the camp, otherwise he will be severely punished by military discipline, but the new commander allows prostitutes and wine merchants to enter the camp to do business, and the leather and meat business and the wine business are not prohibited.
The new coach also said that Zhang Guangsheng could go home every day to drink and hug his concubine, but the soldiers were not allowed to find women, which was extremely hypocritical, as long as it was not wartime, women and wine could be appropriately relaxed.
However, the two relaxation policies of the new commander were generally welcomed by the soldiers, and although some generals were worried about the lack of military discipline, most of the soldiers wanted to relax military discipline.
Zhang Wutao's strange measures were not resisted by Meihuawei, and Wang Linhai, the commander of Meihuawei, often came to Zhang Wutao for a drink, and the sworn brothers naturally needless to say, or this is the officialdom struggle, all the rules are just means of power struggle, once they become officialdom allies, the rules can be kicked away.
On this morning, Zhang Wutao was drinking and eating meat with several generals in the tent, which was also a means for him to win over his subordinates, although wine and meat friends are often despicable, but in fact, often drinking together is indeed easy to deepen the relationship, Zhang Wutao, who was born in the market, has a deep understanding of this.
And the effect of his various bandit management methods is also obvious, Zhang Wutao has only been the coach for ten days, but the popularity of the soldiers is far more than Zhang Guangsheng, who has been the coach for almost a year.
At this time, a pro-soldier entered the tent and whispered a few words in Zhang Wutao's ear.
Zhang Wutao smiled at everyone and said, "You keep drinking, I'll come when I go!" ”
He got up and walked out of the big tent, and then asked his soldiers, "Where did the merchant come from, and what are you looking for me?" ”
"I came from Luoyang, doing some black market trading, and I want to partner with the general to do a few businesses."
"Black market trading?"
Zhang Wutao has been a catcher in Luoyang for more than ten years, and of course he knows very well what the black market business in Luoyang is?
One is gold, silver and copper coins, another is illicit salt and illicit wine, and the other is prohibited items such as pig iron weapons and weapons, all of which are huge profits anyway, so I don't know what business this merchant is?
When he was a head hunter, he sometimes cooperated with moonshiners and made a lot of extra money, but he had never partnered with black market merchants to do business, one was not capital, and the other was more afraid of risks, but now it is different, he has 20,000 troops under his command, what is it to do some black market business?
Zhang Wutao walked into the partial tent with doubts and expectations.
There was a businessman in his thirties sitting in the tent, tall and tall, with a strong face, he saw Zhang Wutao come in, so he got up and saluted and said: "Jiang Min, a merchant in Luoyang, was introduced by Yang Mi. ”
When Zhang Wutao heard that it was introduced by Liu Feng's chief staff Yang Mi, he immediately smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Yang's friend, please take a seat!" Have a seat! ”
The two sat down, Jiang Min took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Wutao, "This is Mr. Yang's letter, please take a look at it!" ”
Zhang Wutao was also coarse in writing and ink, he took the letter and looked at it, it was indeed Yang Mi's letter, Yang Mi told him in the letter that this person could be trusted.
Zhang Wutao nodded and smiled: "I'm a cheerful person, I don't like to beat around the bush, just say it if proprietor Jiang has anything to say!" ”
Jiang Min smiled slightly: "I opened a fur trading house in Luoyang, nominally a fur business, but I also do some prohibited businesses in private, I came to Kunguan this time, just to cooperate with General Zhang!" ”
Zhang Wutao groaned and said: "I don't reject the contraband business, but can Jiang Dongzhu make it clear what the contraband business is?" ”
"Of course, make it clear!"
Jiang Min said with a smile: "I mainly travel between Luoyang and Chang'an, taking advantage of the difference in interests between the two to do business, General Zhang also knows that the price of salt in Guanzhong is only one hundred and forty wen per bucket, while Luoyang is five hundred and forty wen per bucket, and each bucket has four hundred wen benefits, which is from Guanzhong to Luoyang."
Then Luoyang goes to Guanzhong, the highest profit is copperware, Luoyang folk have a large number of copperware, but the government strictly prohibits buying and selling, and also strictly prohibits exporting, generally purchased by the government at a very low price, we can buy at a price slightly higher than the government, and then trafficked to Chang'an, Chang'an bronze is very expensive, there is a tenfold profit difference in the middle. ”
Zhang Wutao immediately understood that there was no investigation in Guanzhong, and the key to Luoyang was his own pass, as long as he could pass his own pass, there was basically no risk, no wonder he would find himself.
Zhang Wutao squinted his eyes and asked, "Then what good do I have?" ”
Jiang Min said unhurriedly: "I don't want the general to contribute any capital, as long as the general can let me pass the customs smoothly, then I will give thirty percent of the profit of each ticket to the general." ”
Zhang Wutao shook his head and said: "I don't know how much money you make, if you give me three hundred yuan, it is also said that it is thirty percent of the profit, I don't know whether it is true or not, I don't want to share, I just need a fixed amount, and it is your own business to earn more or less." ”
Jiang Min thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I don't know how much General Zhang wants?" ”
Zhang Wutao stretched out three fingers, "Three hundred yuan per time!" ”
Jiang Min said for a while: "There is no such high profit, two hundred yuan!" Or come and go and count once. ”
Zhang Wutao still shook his head, "I have no room for bargaining here!" ”
Jiang Min pondered for a while and said: "Then it is a word, three hundred times each time, in addition, there is a big deal that requires the cooperation of the general." ”
"What's the big deal?"
"In about a month or two, I will traffic a batch of orchids from the Western Regions to Luoyang, about two or three hundred people, this business can only be done and then give money, but I can give the general two thousand yuan at a time!"
Zhang Wutao laughed, "Orchids are in demand in Luoyang, at least fifty people, I can agree, but I also want to choose two." ”
"Then we'll make up our minds!"
