Chapter 022: There is a way of checks and balances
"Now it seems that this is the only way to go." After pondering for a moment, Zhang Weixian sighed lightly: "Not only to ensure that Zhao Zongwu does not go south, but also to stabilize the current general trend of the Liukou, the imperial court has consumed too much silver in order to encircle and suppress the Liukou army over the years, if you can use the name of Zhao'an to temporarily stabilize these Liukou, then it is not impossible to find an opportunity to eradicate them." ”
For Zhang Weixian, compared with the mentality of five years ago, he has undergone earth-shaking changes, five years ago, he really wanted to make some of his own contributions to this Daming, although it was also mixed with a certain amount of selfishness, but more but also to make Daming better.
But with the passage of time, coupled with the intensification of the struggles around him, this also made his heart gradually change, and the most important point is that the environment around him has changed, even if he doesn't want to change, it is impossible.
"This duke will wait for the British duke to confirm." Xu Xi said with a smile: "If you can figure this out earlier, I am afraid that when the Liukou army is in the territory of Beizhili, these mud legs will have been solved." ”
As a staunch Zhao'an faction, Xu Xi didn't want to solve the rogue army through war from the beginning, because of the evolution over the years, he never had too much military power, don't look at Xu Xi is the Duke of Pingguo, and Zhang Weixian They are the auxiliary government of the same sequence, but there is not much military general group under his command.
Compared with Zhang Weixian's control of people's livelihood and supervision, Zhu Chunchen's control of financial power, and Zhao Zongwu's control of military power, they can all control the power in their hands through various channels, but Xu Xi is in charge of trial, although it is said that silver can also be made in the middle, but the army is not something that ordinary people can afford, it is not an ordinary consumption of silver!
Therefore, compared with Zhang Weixian, Xu Xi's military power in his hands can be said to be the least of the four.
This is also the reason why Xu Xi is willing to recruit An Liukou.
According to Xu Xi's inherent thoughts, since these rogue armies are so capable of fighting, then Lao Tzu gives you everything you want, you only need to serve under Lao Tzu and do things for Lao Tzu wholeheartedly, even if you commit something in the middle, but as long as you can perform strong enough, then these are not things!
Because of the different starting points, for Zhang Weixian, he has experienced more than Xu Xi, so there are a lot more factors to consider, these red-eyed rogues are definitely impossible to stay in the place honestly, even if they are recruited, they will definitely continue to be the one who is causing trouble, but on the other hand, the scope of their disasters has also become smaller.
Since they have been recruited, the imperial court must have them stationed in a certain place, and with the passage of time, it will gradually infiltrate and control them, and in such a stage, continue to eradicate some big bandits.
If Zhang Weixian dares to have one-third of Zhao Zongwu's power in his hands, then he says that he wants to eradicate these rogue armies, but he does not have such conditions in his hands, although the soldiers and horses are sufficient, but the quality of this military general is far from the standard.
In addition, in this matter, Zhu Chunchen and Xu Xi formed a unified starting point, so there are times when he can't be too decisive.
"That being said, there are some basic conditions that must be clarified." Looking at Xu Xi, who looked excited, Zhang Weixian, who was sitting on the seat, continued: "Although this time it is said that we want to recruit an army of Liukou, but we must eradicate those small Liukou forces who are extremely evil.
According to what this father learned, since the thief leader Wang Jiayin was killed by Zhao Zongwu, the thirty-six battalion rogues who have been active have used Wang himself as a discourse.
Although it is said that these years of conquest have made them all appear as a whole, according to my father's knowledge, there are also many factions within them.
In addition to the king of the thief alliance for his own use, Chong Guangdao, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang, Liu Guoneng, Ge Li Yan He Yilong, and Zuo Jin Wang He Jin are all faction leaders. Speaking of this, Zhang Weixian did not continue, but quietly looked at Zhu Chunchen and Xu Xi.
"The meaning of the British public, although it is said that we are going to recruit An, but the next Zhao'an action should be used to degrade the king for his own use, and raise the Guangdao, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang, Liu Guoneng, Ge Li He Yilong, and Zuo Jin Wang He Jin, as the basic focus?" Zhu Chunchen squinted his eyes slightly.
"Cheng Guogong is not entirely right." Zhang Weixian shook his head slightly and said: "Actually, what you think in your hearts, my father understands it in my heart, on the one hand, because of the powerful soldiers and horses in Zhao Zongwu's hands, which makes us all envious in our hearts."
But on the other hand, although we have groups of soldiers and horses, they are unable to burst out of super combat effectiveness because of the unscrupulous generals.
This is also the fundamental reason why, in recent years, although our army has been powerful, it has never been able to completely eradicate the rogue army.
Over the years, Ping Guogong has been advocating Zhao'an, and I am afraid that you will be thinking in your heart, how to select a group of useful generals from this rogue army.
So when it comes to this, let's make it clear first. ”
After listening to what Zhang Weixian said, Zhu Chunchen and Xu Xi somewhat understood what was going on, in the end, Jiang was still old and spicy!
On the one hand, this old guy has to solve many problems caused by the rogue army through Zhao'an, and on the other hand, he also wants to let those rogues who are recruited to make a name for themselves and really show their identities to the world, but these alone are not enough, before that, they also have to sort the rogues of each department, and offend those who should be offended from the beginning, they can only obtain the talent they want to obtain, and they don't give others extra opportunities at all.
When Xu Xi heard this, he was indignant in his heart: 'Zhang Weixian! You, a dog-day old man, know that Lao Tzu doesn't have many available talents under his command, and Lao Tzu has worked hard to make Zhao'an a reality, and then you do this kind of action for Lao Tzu, doesn't it make it clear that you don't want Lao Tzu to accumulate more strength? ’
But even if Xu Xi is annoyed, what can he do?
Many times, just as Zhang Weixian was helpless at the beginning, when they encounter something that is beneficial to themselves and bad for the other party, the other two people will join forces.
Therefore, Zhang Weixian's proposal was approved by Zhu Chunchen, after all, such a thing is only good for him, and there is no harm in the slightest.
This is also a model that Zhao Zongwu has always admired in secret.
