Chapter 4 Nobles
Shi Kefa is now the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and he is a veritable No. 1 person in Nanjing, plus Liu Kongzhao's commander Cao Jiang has tens of thousands of water troops, even if he can't be promoted to the rank of official in Nanjing, he can be as stable as Mount Tai, and he will definitely not become a prisoner and scapegoat.
Liu Yongxi struck while the iron was hot and said his thoughts: "General Zhao, Brother Zheng, as long as we get to the southern capital, everything will be easy to do, don't dare to say anything else, Brother Zhao and Brother Zheng must at least be the official position of a deputy general and general, if I have the opportunity, I will find a way to help the two brothers plan a position as a chief military officer!" ”
Speaking of this, Liu Yongxi swore to the sky: "As long as I arrive in Nanjing, I, Liu Yongxi, will never be disappointed, not only can I share the weal and butter with the two brothers, but also share the wealth and prosperity, otherwise it will be thunder and thunder!" ”
Zhao Zhijie felt that Liu Yongxi said it too well: "Then I quickly find a way to gather the team and go south with the little uncle to achieve a lot of fame, speaking of which Huang Degong also came out of our Beijing camp, and the rich man and I followed the little uncle to the south to make contributions, and it should not be much inferior to Huang Degong!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Yongxi asked: "I just remembered one thing in my dream, there seems to be a noble person in the dream, Wen Chenggong put this nobleman's hand in my hand, what do Brother Zhijie and Brother Ding think this means?" ”
Even without Liu Yongxi's reminder, Zhao Zhijie solved the mystery in the dream as soon as possible: "Brother has understood the meaning of Wenchenggong's dream, King Kang crossed the river with mud and horses to have the Great Song Dynasty for three hundred years, if there is no King Kang, how can there be a career in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the same is true now, if we want to win a glory and wealth in the southern capital, we must escort a noble person to the south to have a foothold, don't just rely on the three of us to achieve a great cause." ”
In the final analysis, the three people present can only be regarded as small people, although Liu Yongxi is a sincere uncle, but the actual job is just a Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi Wupinzheng Qianhu who has been trained in Beijing, and Zhao Zhijie is also just a small boss, and the total number of family slaves and maids under Fu Ding is only one or twenty people, and if they want to fight for fame and wealth in Nandu, they naturally need to make dangerous moves.
And escorting a noble person south together has become the best choice, Fu Ding immediately asked: "Is the little uncle talking about the prince?" If we can escort the prince south to the throne, we will be the first hero of Zhongxing! ”
Zhao Zhijie shook his head and said: "Don't look at the prince, if the emperor allows the prince to go to Nanjing to supervise the country, the prince has already left two months ago, and even the emperor has already taken us to the south, I have been working in Beijing for so many years, I already know what kind of person the saint is today, don't count on him!" ”
Speaking of this, the more Zhao Zhijie spoke, the more excited he became: "I finally understand why Wen Chenggong asked the dream to the little uncle, and I just happened to come over after the little uncle woke up, this is definitely providence!" Absolutely providential! It's providence! If I can't seize this opportunity, this life will be in vain!"
Zhao Zhijie is so eyebrows and Liu Yongxi is a little puzzled, the so-called "nobleman" is purely his personal thoughts, after all, the three of them are insignificant little people in Beijing, and even if they have a special relationship with Cao Jiang and Liu Kongzhao in Nanjing, it is not enough to resist the cruel and ruthless historical trend.
In this case, it has become the best choice to escort a noble minister with some weight to go south together, and the two sides can take care of each other and support each other to praise each other, but they didn't expect that Zhao Zhijie already had a suitable candidate in his heart, and Fuding next to him had already blurted out: "Which noble person is it?" ”
Zhao Zhijie's face was full of smiles that could not be concealed: "Providence, this is definitely Providence, I have been hesitating how to reply to that noble man for the past few days, but I didn't expect that Providence is to let us escort this noble man to the south, there is a dream of Wencheng Gong, we will definitely be able to do a great career in Nandu, this little boss of the Beijing camp has long been tired of it!" ”
For Liu Yongxi, this is definitely an unexpected surprise, but Fu Ding refused to reveal the true identity of this noble man, no matter how much Fu Ding knocked on the side, he just said his ambition: "Little uncle, when I get to Nanjing, I don't want any glory and wealth, when the time comes, please ask the old uncle to pull out a battalion of elite soldiers and strong generals to give me a belt, as long as there are hundreds of elite soldiers and strong generals, I can cross the Jianghuai!" ”
Zhao Zhijie usually wears a staff robe with a greasy face, looking more like a successful rich businessman than a general, but at this moment he is full of heroism.
Liu Yongxi felt that Zhao Zhijie was very truthful, after all, in this era of collapse and earth, all the past experience will be exhausted, in this new era of killing and brutality, strong force is the most important thing, and the reason why his old father failed to achieve greater achievements is that he is cowardly because of his past successful experience.
He hurriedly assured Zhao Zhijie: "I dare not guarantee anything else, as long as this matter arrives in Nanjing, Brother Zhijie must get what he wants, Brother Zhijie and Brother Ding are my right-hand men, even if my father does not support us, we have to pull up the team ourselves, with such a force, although we cannot be said to be invincible, no matter what we do, we can rely on it." ”
Zhao Zhijie said that he felt very regretful: "It's a pity that we only have a total of dozens of people now, and we can do the next big business now!" ”
He really felt very regretful, Liu Yongxi cheered him up on the spot: "Dozens of people are enough, I am sincere that there are still many generals from Nanjing, the most important thing now is to find a way to get all the armor and weapons of the brothers first!" ”
Zhao Zhijie suddenly felt difficult: "This matter is not easy to do, those ministers are all deliberately making things difficult when they see the silver, not to mention that we have to prepare more silver for the brothers!" ”
Although the Beijing camp has always been the territory of Liu Yongxi's nobles, the real control of the Beijing camp is the celebrant eunuchs, several eunuchs, and young eunuchs, especially the equipment and military salaries are handed over to the ministers to be responsible, and these ministers have always been unable to feed no amount of silver.
But Liu Yongxi laughed when he heard Zhao lead the team say this: "In the past, now the thief Li Zicheng has come to the door, so you have to be flexible!" Leave this matter to us, let's gather the people and make a good fuss! ”
There are thieves in the west and Jiannu in the north, and there is no trace of reinforcements from all walks of life, and the current Ming Dynasty and Beijing City are already in danger, so whether it is the emperor, ministers, nobles or other high-ranking officials and nobles with status and status, they all feel anxious and don't know what to do, but for the ministers sitting in the Beijing camp, now is the time when their silver comes the fastest.
Since the Beijing camp is under their control, they naturally tried every means to get enough money to deal with the thief Li Zicheng, so they need money to enter the door and go out, money to return weapons to the treasury, more money to call swords and guns for drills, money to eat empty amounts, money to enrich the establishment, money to be promoted, money to ask for avoiding war, money to distribute firewood and rice, only when the military salary is paid, you don't need money, and the ministers directly help the generals to deduct it directly, so as not to run more wrongful roads.
It is precisely because everything is under control, so Shi Chaoli has always been lawless, although he is only a small Fengyu in the palace, but whether it is the old qualified Duke Marquis or the deputy general, staff general, guerrilla, and Qianzong of the Beijing camp, he has always regarded them as a group of docile little sheep, and he will never do anything without feeding enough silver.
Although the thief Li Zicheng is getting closer and closer to the capital, but now the days are getting more and more enjoyable, Shi Chaoli calculated under the warm sun of late spring, and in two or three months, he will be able to pay off the famine left by the shortage, and then he will have a good time to move, and strive to change to a position that is easier to promote.
Shi Chaoli was thinking about the specific location of the event when he heard a commotion outside, and he was not surprised: "Someone sent me money again!" ”
It's just that the corners of his mouth are just beginning to be proud, the door has been smashed open by several generals and family members, Shi Chaoli only feels that the opportunity to make a fortune has come again: "What a big courage, you don't take the emperor to heart, do you want to rebel?" ”
