Coming out of the military garrison yamen, Li Zhi went to the governor's yamen again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is the new general, and he still has to prepare the meaning for the governor of Tianjin, Cha Deng. Li Zhi was richer than ordinary generals, so he was naturally more generous, and gave Cha Deng a thousand taels of silver tickets. Chaden was very affectionate when he saw Li Zhi, and he was even more happy when he saw the silver ticket, and pulled Li Zhi to talk for a while.

It was not until the afternoon that Li Zhicai took his leave. Cha Dengbei wanted to leave Li Zhi for dinner, but Li Zhi politely refused.

After Luo Zhending's death, the Tianjin General Army is still hanging empty, and the imperial court has not appointed a new Tianjin General Army. At present, Li Zhi only has one boss, the governor, and half of the boss, Bingbeidao. After visiting the governor, Li Zhi began to gather his subordinates.

Now Li Zhi manages the military affairs of Tianjin West Road, and there are three garrisons under him, namely Jinghai County Garrison, Qingxian County Garrison, and Xingji County Garrison. These three garrisons are all in the county seat and are the defensive force of the local county seat.

The next day, Li Zhi sent people to gather these garrisons, and on the afternoon of the third day, the three garrisons rushed to Fanjiazhuang.

Li Zhi asked these subordinates to wait for him in the second hall.

Jinghai Garrison Ye Xiancai is a tall man, wearing a scarlet official uniform of the third grade, but he has the majesty of a military attaché. He sat in front of the three of them, a little nervous, and said to Shi Jiegao, the Qingxian garrison next to him: "Brother Shi, the Dragon and Tiger General is famous, do you think that his new official will burn three fires and make things difficult for us?" ”

Shi Jiegao, the garrison of Naqing County, was a thin middle-aged man, who was closing his eyes there to recuperate. When he heard Ye Xiancai's words, he opened his eyes and stroked his beard, and said, "Probably not, I heard that the general had a very simple request for his subordinates before. After a pause, Shi Jiegao said again: "Moreover, when the general was a guerrilla, he also spent money to buy a lot of wasteland from his subordinates to open up military land, and gave money to his subordinates for nothing. ”

Xingji garrison Hao Zhengchao was a middle-aged man with a square face and no beard, and he said: "Prevention is to be guarded. However, the three of us are old acquaintances, and the three of us are in the same mind, and I don't think he dares to make things difficult for us! ”

Ye Xiangao nodded and said, "Yes, we are moving forward and retreating together!" Are the silver tickets you give a hundred taels of silver, and the gift slips and goods a hundred and twenty taels of silver? ”

Hao Zhengchao said: "It's just two hundred and twenty taels of silver, and one hundred taels of silver tickets plus one hundred and twenty taels of goods!" After reading the gift list, the general knew that the three of us were of the same heart and would be afraid. ”

Shi Jiegao nodded and said, "The general is also a human being, and it will definitely be interesting to see us so united!" Where do you dare to burn three fires? ”

After saying this, he closed his eyes with peace of mind and raised his mind.

After a while, Li Zhi walked out of the back of the hall.

Seeing the general come out, the three guards looked at each other a few times, knelt on the ground and sang: "Ye Xiangao has seen General Longhu!" ”

"Shi Jiegao has seen the general!"

"Hao Zhengchao has seen General Dragon and Tiger!"

Li Zhi sat on the main seat, looking at these kneeling guards, and felt a little complacent. A year and a half ago, I had to kneel to the garrison Luoli Sect. In the blink of an eye, there were now three guards kneeling in front of him.

Li Zhi said: "No courtesy, get up!" ”

The three subordinates got up, took out the gift list from their arms, and came up one by one to hand the gift list to Li Zhi. When Li Zhi looked at the three gift lists, he was stunned - all the three subordinates gave were one hundred taels of silver tickets, plus one hundred and twenty taels of goods.

Li Zhi grabbed the gift list and thought about it, and secretly said What does this mean? Show yourself that the three of you have a good relationship? Threaten yourself?

How united can the three military attachés at the end of the Ming Dynasty be? They are all official ruffians, and they will turn against water for the sake of profit at any time. Isn't this a sign of their unity a joke?

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Why are the gift lists of the three of you exactly the same?" ”

Ye Xiangao said: "It's different, my lord, it's different, our wealth and goods are all different silks, and they won't be the same!" ”

Li Zhi sneered and said, "Good, good!" I accepted your gift list. ”

The three guards glanced at each other, and secretly said that this counselor was shocked by himself, and he expected that the requirements for the three of them would be lowered. The three of them were proud, and without waiting for Li Zhi to sit, they sat back on the chairs by themselves.

Li Zhi looked at the smug expressions of the three of them, and pondered in his heart how to break the unity of the three people. Li Zhi looked at Ye Xiancai, who was guarding Jinghai, and felt that this person had a rough appearance, and he would be less scheming, so he said casually: "Ye Xiancai, your Jinghai County is the closest to my Fanjiazhuang, and I plan to reclaim 100,000 acres of wasteland in Jinghai County and cultivate it as dry land." I will buy these ownerless wastelands from your garrison for twenty cents per acre of wasteland. ”

Ye Xiancai's eyes lit up when he heard this.

100,000 acres of wasteland, according to the price of Li Zhi's purchase of wasteland, 20 wen per mu, and 2,000 taels of silver to buy 100,000 acres of wasteland. On the surface, these silvers entered the garrison mansion in the form of public funds, but when they changed hands, they were not used casually by Ye Xiancai? General Long Hu is a big gift to himself!

He only sent two hundred taels of goods to General Longhu, and General Longhu returned ten times to himself.

Ye Xiancai said with a smile on his face: "General Longhu has this plan, the small one must cooperate, do a good job of planning and coordinating all parties, and will definitely satisfy General Longhu!" ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, the two guards sitting next to him were not calm. Two thousand taels of silver is not a small number! A garrison has only a few hundred soldiers, and the salary paid is already small, even if a lot of empty pay is drunk and the blood of the soldiers is drunk, the income will be two or three thousand taels of silver all year round. Moreover, he must honor the officials at all levels, and the silver that really falls into his pocket is only a few hundred taels.

Two thousand taels of silver was a huge sum of money in the eyes of the three garrisons. And Li Zhi sent such a huge sum of money to Ye Xiancai to spend.

Hao Zhengchao, the garrison of Xingji, said first: "General, the general might as well cultivate some dry fields in Xingji County." ”

Li Zhi said lightly: "The place to be reclaimed has not yet been decided, but only 100,000 mu will be reclaimed, which is certain." ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Ye Xiancai was a little uneasy, and glanced at Li Zhi nervously, for fear that he would not open a new field in Jinghai and move to Xingji County.

Hao Zhengchao didn't look at Ye Xiancai, and immediately said: "My lord, there are many rivers in Xingji County, which is more suitable for cultivating new fields. ”

For two thousand taels of silver, the fragile alliance between Hao Zhengchao and Ye Xiancai collapsed in an instant.

Ye Xiancai glanced at Hao Zhengchao angrily, and said loudly: "My lord, Jinghai County is closer to Fanjiazhuang and more suitable for management!" ”

In the end, Shi Jiegao, the garrison of Qingxian County, couldn't help it, stood up and arched his hand and said: "My lord, there are many rivers in Qingxian County, and it is also close to Fanjiazhuang, which is the best place to reclaim Xintian!" ”

Hearing Shi Jiegao's words, Ye Xiancai and Hao Zhengchao snorted. The so-called alliance of the three people has long disappeared in the face of interests.

In fact, Li Zhi has no plan to reclaim Xintian for the time being, and he used this to say that it was just to let the three garrisons compete for interests and break their alliance. At this time, the three of them were already fighting with each other, and without the love of advancing and retreating together, Li Zhi's goal was achieved.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "What the three of you said makes sense. I'm going to think about it again! I'll let you know when I think about it. After a pause, Li Zhi said solemnly: "Get down to business, be my subordinate, there are only two requirements, you all listen to it!" ”

The three guards found that the three of them had become three lonely individuals by this time. Without the advance and retreat alliance, a single garrison in front of the world-famous Dragon and Tiger General is too small and vulnerable. Hearing Li Zhi's words, the three of them didn't dare to sit down, and stood respectfully to receive the order.

At this time, Li Zhi was already a general under the battalion system, and he only cared about the training and combat of the soldiers along the way, regardless of Tuntian. Although the garrisons are still in charge of the management of Tuntian, the affairs of Tuntian are under the management of the Bingbei Road, and the garrisons must report the affairs of the Tuntian to the Bingbei Road. Therefore, Li Zhi's two requirements have changed:

"My request, first, is to eat better, and not to cause a mutiny!"

"Second, if I want to cultivate private land in your jurisdiction, you must fully cooperate!"

The three guards hurriedly agreed: "General, I know!" ”

"Xiaguan understands!"

"General Long and Tiger, but there is an order, and the subordinate must be able to follow the power of dogs and horses!" (To be continued.) )
