Chapter 154
Wanli pondered these methods, and a window seemed to have opened in front of him, yes, why can't he do this? This is much more cost-effective than levying an army, and according to Zhu Yidao, you can still earn silver! Why not? Besides, if Banshu messes up on its own, it will save me from worrying, and I only need to provide assistance to the recipients of support at a fixed time and at a fixed point. As long as the loss is not too bad, isn't the silver flowing into the treasury in an uproar? However, this solution still requires an extremely reliable person. Zhu Yidao in front of you? He had just avoided the limelight, and the civil, civil, and military officials were still staring at him, so he couldn't let anything happen to him at such a time. It seems that it still has to be handed over to Li Hualong, maybe he can handle this matter well.
That night, the general banner of the wolves quietly arrived at Li Hualong's temporary residence in Jingshi, and cautiously handed over the secret decree to him - out of the previous two bad things, Wanli was completely uneasy about others, and some work that needed to be kept secret still had to be done by the wolves. Li Hualong finished reading the secret decree suspiciously, and this heart was pulling out the cold. It's so ruthless! Amazing! Did the emperor come up with this trick himself? He couldn't believe it, when did the emperor become so familiar with this set? But this method is indeed extremely effective, and there is a tribal Tusi that can be used in front of him - Zhang Bonan.
The Zhang family's current position in Banzhou is very embarrassing, and several other toasts are looking at him, expecting him to take the lead in reversing the Yang family. But only Zhang Bonan himself knows that the Zhang family has a big business on the surface, but in fact, the family soldiers have not been trained well for many years, and most of the younger generations below are also addicted to an arrogant and luxurious life, which is useless. The most important thing is that there is no good equipment updated for so many years - Yang Yinglong has a trick that is very good, he only keeps the soldiers of the Yang family elite, although the armed forces of other tribes are paid higher than the soldiers of the Yang family, but the training standard is much lower than that of the Yang family, everyone likes this kind of day very much - there is no need to train with such a high salary, which is a great thing. But only these toasts know in their hearts that the Yang family is breaking the sword in their hands!
Since five years ago, Zhang Bonan deliberately and quietly transferred more than 1,000 of his family soldiers, secretly retrained them outside, and disrupted and reorganized them, and the funds were also taken out of his own small treasury. However, these people, in terms of scale and combat effectiveness, are not as good as the Yang family soldiers, because the Yang family soldiers have equipment that no one else has: firearms. It's hard to do!
Li Hualong went to Banzhou again, and he was far less public, but quietly went directly to Zhang's house. Zhang Bonan was overjoyed! It seems that the ten catties of gold I gave last time really worked! Although this Ming official is greedy, he is still very credible, and he must have good news this time!
But to his surprise, Li Hualong asked his subordinates to take out the ten catties of gold first, and said to Zhang Bonan: "Zhang Tusi, your kindness is appreciated by the official, but what the official wants is a stable Banzhou, a Banzhou that will not cause trouble!" It's not that the emperor doesn't believe in you Banzhou Seven Tusi, but he doesn't believe in the people you elected. He Yang Yinglong caused an earthquake, disrupted social order, and undermined the stability of the Ming Dynasty, which is absolutely not allowed! Banzhou is only in your hands, the emperor will rest assured, so we will try to help you, but you have to remember that if you want to be the second Yang Yinglong, what will happen to him, you will be what will happen! ”
These words even coaxed and threatened, and the cold sweat on Zhang Bonan's head fell. Even if his Zhang family has the strength to fight with the Yang family, where does he have the courage to confront Daming? It is enough for his family to control a Banzhou, which is clearly telling himself not to have too much ambition! Where else does he have any ambitions? Looking at his descendants, Zhang Bonan only felt that all thoughts were burned, these descendants ......
Li Hualong knew what these tribal Tusi were worried about, and smiled: "If you think it is appropriate, this official will naturally play the emperor and allow your descendants to go to Jingshi to receive the best education, and your wives can also stay in Jingshi and enjoy the prosperous and wonderful life of Jingshi!" If the conditions are ripe, the emperor may come to Banzhou to inspect ......"
It's an irresistible **, it's an irresistible threat!
Zhang Bonan knew that on the surface, his son and wife could go to Beijing to receive the so-called best education and enjoy the so-called most beautiful life, but in fact, they were all hostages, and they were their own hostages in Beijing. If he tries to mess around like Yang Yinglong, I'm afraid the end will really be worse than him.
But do you still have a choice? He asked himself.
After some difficult negotiations, the two sides finally finalized the details of the cooperation. The details of its content and the whimsical ideas made Zhang Bonan amazed. Including Da Ming secretly sent elite personnel to help him train his own soldiers, and even sent a small team to participate in the crusade against Yang Yinglong; Provide necessary weapons and equipment and logistics management services, and the main battle firearms currently equipped by the Ming army will also be equipped with the Zhang family's soldiers; Moreover, the Zhang family's account office, housekeepers and other backbone cronies will also receive direct training from the Ming court, and will help Zhang Bonan train a capable and efficient management team...... Of course, all the costs are the responsibility of Zhang Bonan himself. However, part of the payment can be given in cash, and part of the payment can be paid in goods.
All these terms come from the emperor's secret decree; The emperor's secret decrees, all of which came from Zhu Yidao.
After bragging that day, Wanli directly found Zhu Yidao and asked him to come up with a specific charter for the current Banzhou. Lao Zhu was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and then he wanted to slap himself in the face, but it was just bragging and bragging, where can he take it seriously? But Wanli decided that this method would definitely work against the current Banzhou, so he had no choice but to respond to the order, studied and quarreled with Jiang Fei and others for a night, and finally made everyone accept this unbelievable method. However, after persuasion, everyone does think that this strategy of treating toast with toast is definitely very effective! But how can he guarantee that Zhang Bonan will not become the second Yang Yinglong?
Lao Zhu swore that there was no need to train the Zhang family soldiers according to the training level of the Beijing Division, and there was no need to give too good weapons and equipment, let alone provide all the best gunpowder. You just need to make it enough, and after you run out, you can't produce it yourself, you can only buy it from us, it's enough; As for those housekeepers' accounts, after they came, whether they used coercion and inducement or other methods, they turned some of them into their own people, provided us with specific information about the Zhang family every once in a while, and then gradually directly turned the Zhang family soldiers into Jinyi guards...... Everything is under control of his Zhang family!
Jiang Fei looked at Zhu Yidao stupidly, as if he knew him for the first time, and only after a long time did he speak: You Zhu Qianhu was born to be the material of the Jinyi guard! These words choked Lao Zhu half to death, I can't do anything else if I dare to love me?
Wanli was very satisfied with the details, but he was very dissatisfied with one thing: the Right Institute of the Beijing Division was already responsible for training the Zhang family soldiers, and did he still need to send a team of 100 people formed by Jiang Fei to go over? No way! Absolutely not! This hundred-man squad can only come out of the wolves!
Old Zhu Da Khan, the emperor is already the Son of Heaven, why do you still have to fight for this face? He didn't know what Wanli was thinking in his heart, the wolves had experienced too little actual combat, although they didn't need to fight, they just needed to guard the emperor. But Wanli's heart is still full of longing and yearning for the war years of Taizu's golden iron horse. His greatest expectation is to personally command thousands of troops and horses, like Taizu, and sweep away all the enemies of the Ming Dynasty! So now that there is such an opportunity, where can I give up so easily? Unable to resist the emperor, Lao Zhu had no choice but to agree with Wanli's opinion, but there is one point, the general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, and the wolves going to Banzhou must be fully commanded by him and listen to his orders! Wanli still has no opinion on this, he knows that Zhu Yidao is much stronger than himself in this aspect, and from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't want the wolves to suffer any losses because they think they are blind commands!
With Wanli's approval, Zhu Yidao immediately set about the selection of personnel. Soon, a small team composed of the top 100 soldiers in the large training was assembled, and then Jiang Fei reintegrated and formed them, and at the same time dispatched 300 people to form a logistics support group, and said that he mobilized Zhu Xixiao, the commander of the Beizhen Fusi, claiming that this was the emperor's order, asking him to unconditionally and unreservedly support the right office of the Beijing Division in intelligence. This anti-rebellion operation can only succeed, not fail!
Of course, Zhu Xixiao has no opinion. This Zhu Yidao has experienced so many things, and has offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty countless times, but he is still standing, which shows that the emperor's favor is very deep. Besides, he is young, and the position of this commander seems to be his, so why should he offend a rising star? Besides, even let him participate in such a major event as the Banzhou rebellion, but he didn't get the news beforehand, it seems that the emperor has made up his mind to cultivate Zhu Yidao well, and he should go with his will!
The entire Jinyiwei acted at an unprecedented mobilization speed, Sichuan, Guizhou, Huguang, and even Ningxia, all the personnel were mobilized, and they continuously provided information related to Banzhou to the Beijing Division. Zhu Yidao felt very happy, it was the first time to organize and mobilize such a huge operation, and he had never had relevant experience before. However, the court is extremely sensitive to the changes in Jinyiwei, in their opinion, Jinyiwei's actions mean the rise of Zhu Yidao, and even Zhao Zhigao in the cabinet has written to ask the emperor, what is the matter, doesn't it need to be discussed by the six cabinets?
