Chapter 1089: Warlords, Turf, Leverage

The sky gradually brightened.

The sky is blue and the clouds are light, and the cold and warmth are suitable, which is a good season to use soldiers to fight.

In Changping County, there is also a gradual sound of the city. The sound of wheels rolling through the streets, the sound of the market carrying burdens, and the shouts of soldiers during training that sounded early in the morning were mixed together and faintly drifted into the capital hall where Mi Youren's soldiers and horses were deployed.

The cold morning breeze blew in, making Mi Youren and Yang Jian only feel refreshed.

Wu Haogu sent the two of them to lead troops to fight "almost child's play". Mi Youren is deployed by the soldiers and horses of the North Road, and Yang Jian is the pacification envoy of the North Yanshan Road. And he didn't give them any room to turn around, and after meeting his daughter Zhen "Dare Da" with Mi Youren, he immediately ordered Mi Youren and Yang Jian to go out of battle.

Along with the two of them, there were Wu Haogu's eldest son Wu Yiyong, Wan Yan Zonghan, the envoy of the Birth Girl Zhen Wanyan Ministry, Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xiyin, the foreign students of the Wanyan Ministry, and more than a dozen classmates and teenagers who played with Wu Yiyong, all of whom were primary school students in Knight Primary School.

By the way, among the elementary school students who followed Wu Yiyong, there was also a brother named Mi Youren's own family named Mi Youda. There is one of Zhao Zhongge's sons, a young man named Zhao Yi. There is also Wu Jue, the eldest son of Wu Yan, who served as a general in the Youzhou Army. There are also a few teenagers from the martial family, the Ximen family, and the Murong family. They are all a group of gentlemen from Tianjin, a teenager and a half-year-old, who followed Mi Youren to the battlefield in this way. I don't know if I can come back safely?

Because of the presence of Wu Haogu's son, Mi Youren and Yang Jian were not very easy to postpone and shirk, so they could only go on the road quickly, and they didn't stop much along the way.

When they arrived in Changping, Mi Youren and Yang Jian found out that Wu Haogu appointed the two of them to lead the troops north, which turned out to be thoughtful.

Although Mi Youren and Yang Jian are both laymen, they both have money! And they all deposited a huge amount of money in the Bank of Tianjin. Mi Youren inherited Mi Fu's huge inheritance, is the major shareholder of the Republic Bank, one of the 33 promoter shareholders in Tianjin, and is naturally a family fortune of tens of millions.

Although Yang Jian did not invest in Republic Bank, he is not a promoter shareholder in Tianjin. But he is Zhao Ji's "general manager", and he knows that he has been greedy for so many years, how can he have no money? Because he took the lead in "persuading" Wu Hao Gu to be the envoy of Youzhou Festival, he had a ghost in his heart, and the last time he returned to Kaifeng Mansion, he sold his family property to cash out, and transferred millions to the account of Tianjin Bank through Jingdong Bank.

Does having money have anything to do with leading troops to war?

In some cases, it really matters. Because you can lend money if you have money, and in today's Yandi, there are just so many warlords who are heavily indebted.

This army is in chaos, and some warlords have no food left at home!

What the? Warlords also have poor?

Really! And it's quite a bit.

Cao Yongyi of the Cao family in Yizhou, who had just been ordered by Wu Haogu, Zuo Qigong of the Zuo family in Jizhou, and Yu Zhongwen of the Yu family in Wuzhou, were all poor warlords.

Because the three of them are almost empty in name, and have no real territory. For example, Yizhou, which Cao Yongyi hoped to get, is still in the hands of the Khitans. If there is no land, there will naturally be no income.

Although the Jizhou Zuo family is a Yandi family (his ancestor is the assassin of the Later Tang Dynasty, and he has been guarding Jizhou for a long time after surrendering to the Khitans), but he lost to the distant relatives of the Dizhou Chai family in the struggle for the right to rule Jizhou, and Chai Yi, who holds a battalion of elite Liao Han Army Yulin Army, only retains his private land and private city in Jizhou, and does not have much property.

As for the Wuzhou Yu family, they are outsiders at all, they were originally Haoqiang in Ningyuan Town, Wuzhou (near Fulin Road in the Song Dynasty), and they can be regarded as the chosen family of Xijing Road. Because a military attache of the Yu family named Yu Zhongwu led the troops from Xijing Road to aid Nanjing Dao, he caught up with the surrender. Surrender is surrender, but not an inch of territory is gained, and the whole army has become a guest army begging for food.

A warlord who has no territory, or whose territory is not scraped enough, is of course a poor warlord.

Wu Haogu implemented the "sub-feudal system" in Yandi, and the states observed that they scraped the ground to feed their own military officials, and as for how to raise it, the Republic of Youzhou Town could not control it.

The Republic Mansion only cares how many knights these fiefdomed warlords can provide, and how many feudal military households are divided - the knight households and the military households under the command of the warlords are also citizens of Youzhou Town who have the right to vote! In addition, providing troops to fight for Youzhou Town is also the obligation of each autonomous prefecture and county, and there are also specific regulations!

As for the warlords who had no territory or too little territory, the republican government would only give them a very small subsidy to ensure that they would not starve to death.

If you want to be rich, go and build your own turf!

If you are not convinced, hehe, the "Republican Army" in Youzhou Town is the most convincing with reason!

Therefore, Cao Yiyong, Zuo Qigong, Yu Zhongwu and their clans, retainers, doormen, dead soldiers, and subordinates have been struggling in the past few months.

wanted to mutiny and make trouble, firstly, he was afraid of death, and secondly, Wu Haogu also gave words, saying that after the weather was warm, they would send troops to grab the territory.

Therefore, it has been persevering until now.

Now Wu Haogu has fulfilled his promise and let them go north to grab the three small states below Fengshengzhou - although the territory of these three states is small, the oil and water are not bad, but the Confucian state is slightly worse. The other two states have very fertile valleys and are close to the Sangan River, where abundant forest resources can be exploited. However, Ruzhou can expand along the West Mountain and eat the entire northern foot of Yanshan, so that the territory is not small.

So the three warlords were quite happy and were willing to send troops. But it costs money to send troops! They had no land to distribute, and of course their generals were mercenaries. The three families squeezed out a total of tens of thousands of regular soldiers, three or four thousand auxiliary soldiers, all of them were like called Huazi, all gathered in Changping County, and reported to the general army machine room of the North Road Deployment Division, which was established in advance-Wu Haogu sent Mi Youren and Yang Jian to be creditors, and they didn't expect them to really use troops. So the general army machine room has been prepared for a long time!

This time it was Luo Gang and Zhang Zhifeng who led the way. The former is a siege expert, and the latter has just arrived with the mission of Wanyan and knows the situation of Wanyan very well. And also mobilized secretly established artillery to help in the war!

However, military aircraft can be given, artillery can also be given, and the "king of jungle warfare" (referring to the Jurchens) can also be fooled to help.

But military spending cannot be given! It is impossible for a warlord to give his own territory and make the republican government pay for it! The Senate can't pass at all, and Wu Haogu is not so generous.

He now has no Zhao Ji as an ATM, so he can only live a careful life, so he can't give military assistance to the warlords below, and can only give them two "levers". They can choose to "increase leverage", borrow money from Mi Youren and Yang Jian, and win the battle with land and loot, so they are naturally not afraid of not paying it back.

In case you are defeated, then go up to the Nanmen Gate Tower by yourself......

To "increase leverage to fight" and "self-financing", Zhang Zhifeng and Luo Gang told Cao Yiyong, Zuo Qigong, and Yu Zhongwu early in the morning. The three warlords almost vomited blood when they heard this, and they voted for a usury master! However, vomiting blood is vomiting blood, and I still dare not resist.

So after the reception banquet last night, the three bitter warlords were in a secret room, and they cheekily borrowed money from Mi Youren and Yang Jian.

……

"Overseer, you look at things, this thing ......"

"Don't tell me, sir, that you've never been in debt."

"Money lending? It's different! This time, I'm afraid that I haven't repaid the loan......"

"Do they dare to pay it back?"

"If they really don't pay it back, what will we do? Who to go to? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. They can't do without Tianjin! If they don't pay it back, they will still be able to make money in Tianjin in the future? Without Tianjin, who could they sell the grain they saw, cut the wood, and dig up the charcoal in those valleys? ”

Early in the morning, Mi Youren and Yang Jian had already gotten up early, and they were in the inner hall of Mi Youren's capital deployment department, eating breakfast while discussing how to fill the pit that Wu Haogu dug for them.

"Do you really want to borrow it?" Yang Jian looked at Mi Youren with a painful face.

His life was so bitter, he said the wrong thing, and he didn't dare to go back to Zhao Ji in this life. I thought that I would retire in Tianjin Mansion, but I didn't expect that my pension money would be remembered.

This is going to be lent to the three Yandi army leaders, and it's not meat buns to fight wolves, and there is no return?

"Isn't it just money!" Mi Youren can see more than Yang Jian, "Official, you must borrow this money!" Youren and the teacher are one, and it is appropriate to spend some money to solve some small troubles for the teacher. And you, big official, what else is there besides 'persuasion'? Nothing! Yandi's career is not your share. Only when you pay the money can you be considered a shareholder. ”

"Ah......" Yang Jian's eyes flashed with gold stars, "Then, then, how many shares should our family buy?" ”

Mi Youren smiled: "The two of us are half, I will give one million, and you will also give one million, and lend them a total of two million...... As for the interest, just take a three-point interest, and don't roll the interest. ”

When Yang Jian heard this, he really couldn't cry or laugh. If you lend money to those military leaders, you can recover the high incense burned, and you will pay three points of interest, which is not conducive to rolling profits. You've put the loan shark on the head of the warlord!

"Alas," although Yang Jian was bitter in his heart, he had no choice but to nod, "Then it's all up to the orders of the prison army...... Our family doesn't ask for a few profits, just want the capital to come back safely. ”

Mi Youren waved his hand and said with a smile: "If you win, you're afraid that you won't have three points?" Don't worry, this is more than buying and selling on Youren, and there is always a huge profit for the big officials. ”
