Chapter 352: Promotion
The security forces sent elite special combat personnel to occupy the salt market after a hard battle, and Shandong's salt was circulated throughout the country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Guo Zhi was stunned when he heard the reports from all over the place, he didn't expect Zhang Chu to be so heavy-handed, causing such a bloody storm in order to sell salt, and he himself was completely caught in it, and no one would believe it if he didn't have his share in doing these things. However, he did not regret it, Zhang Chu counted his words, and he was paid accordingly for every action he participated in, and the silver Guo Zhiyi earned was enough for him to live the life of a rich man. He didn't want to leave there, when the human heart was not content. Therefore, when he heard that Zhang Chu was going to see him, Guo Zhiyi was a little excited, I don't know what a big action this time is, and the reward he will get at the end of the operation must be indispensable.
"Master Guo has been in Shandong for some time, do you want to go back to Beijing to have a look." Guo Zhiyi didn't expect that the first thing Zhang Chu said was to ask him to return to Beijing, and several thoughts turned in his heart, could this be Zhang Chu's temptation to him, none of the things Zhang Chu did in Shandong were legal, and whether to report these things to the commander when he returned to Beijing, this thought also flashed, because Guo Zhiyi participated in these illegal things, and he was also counting on making more money, so he said: "Don't worry, there are still many things to do in Shandong." ”
Zhang Chu's answer to Guo Zhiyi is a little strange, this Guo Zhiyi is addicted to staying in Shandong, in fact, he is not free in Shandong, everywhere he goes, there are security guards watching, and the external contact must be approved by Zhang Chu, until he began to traffic illegal salt for Zhang Chu, the surveillance was relaxed. Zhang Chu understood that Guo Zhiyi was afraid that he would test him and did not dare to show the idea of returning to Beijing, so he said: "Master Guo, I can be trusted, and I will not do anything that harms me. ”
"Say anything, I'll do my best." As soon as Guo Zhi heard that Zhang Chu was going to arrange for him to do things, he suddenly came to his senses. He now understands Zhang Chu's rules, the director has money to take, and the more important the matter, the more money he will take.
"I want to take over Weihaiwei, you go to Jingshi and go through the path of Cao Huachun and Cao's father-in-law, and see if you can promote me to an official." Zhang Chu was thinking about expanding his territory.
"General Zhang, I advise you not to take over the mess of Weihaiwei, there is no one to fight except for a bunch of poor ghosts." Guo Zhiyi still knows a lot about the guard, although Weihaiwei is one of the four Davids of the Ming Dynasty, its degree of erosion is not worse than that of other guards, and the soldiers in the guard have completely become the chief worker, except for farming, there is no kung fu for training, don't expect them to go to the battlefield to fight. Due to being exploited by the commanders, these guards dragged their families and couldn't even eat, and they were a group of beggars, and due to the restrictions imposed by the imperial court on military households, they were fixed there and were not allowed to move, so they could only survive there.
"I fell in love with that place, Weihaiwei has a natural harbor, and I can do some business after I want to come there." Zhang Chu had nothing to hide from Guo Zhiyi, and directly stated his intentions.
"Okay, I'll go to do these things right away, but Gonggong Cao doesn't recognize people with silver." Guo Zhiyi knew Cao Huachun, and if he wanted him to do things, he couldn't do it without money.
"Money is not a problem, it can get things done. If you bring another piece of silver to Luo Yangxing, you will say that you are honoring him and enhancing the relationship between you. In addition, you have to find a way to remind Luo Yangxing to strengthen the spy work of Houjin, and Houjin will be brought into Kou in Xuanfu and Datong in the year after tomorrow, and the people of Daming will experience another catastrophe. At this time, Houjin should start preparing for the expedition, and if you Jinyiwei can warn the emperor in advance, this is another credit. Zhang Chu felt that it was better to prepare in advance for the matter of Houjin joining the Kou.
"The Houjin people will come to rob them." Not long after the last time the Houjin entered the Kou, Guo Zhiyi saw with his own eyes the countryside that had been ravaged by the Houjin people outside Beijing, where property was robbed, women and young men were taken captive and became slaves of the Houjin people, and the corpses of old people and children were strewn all over the field. Every person of conscience does not want this human tragedy to happen again.
"Hou Jin returned with a full load last time he entered the Kou, and at the same time, he also saw the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, and when they digested the looted property, they will definitely come to rob it again, we must prepare in advance. You have been here for a few days, and you may think that most of what we do is illegal and harmful to the imperial court, but we are forced to do so, and many people need a strong government to protect them, and in the event of a disaster, the government needs to coordinate supplies from other places to provide relief. And Daming is rotten now, and if we can't accomplish what the people expect, we have to reorganize ourselves to save ourselves. I was so anxious to collect money everywhere in order to build a strong army, go to Liaodong to attack Houjin, expel them far away, and let the people live a stable life. Zhang Chu couldn't help but express his feelings.
"I'm ready, I'll go to Beijing as soon as possible, and I'll definitely get things done." Zhang Chu's inadvertently revealed his true thoughts moved Guo Zhiyi, he thought that what Zhang Chu did was just to strengthen himself and become a warlord without being destroyed by the imperial court, but he didn't expect him to have so many thoughts about the country and the people.
Guo Zhiyi rushed back to Beijing, and met with Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jinyiwei, Luo Yangxing saw Guo Zhiyi's face full of spring breeze, and sighed that he was really discerning and talented, and excavated such a talent as Guo Zhiyi, this time Guo Zhiyi went to Shandong to send back good news to the emperor frequently, and the emperor's attitude towards Jinyiwei changed greatly.
And Guo Zhiyi also prepared a rich gift for him, Guo Zhiyi changed his temper after being sent out, and his work became much smoother. In the future, we will rely more on him.
Guo Zhiyi entrusted Luo Yangxing to find the great eunuch Cao Huachun, Cao Huachun was also very satisfied with Jinyiwei's recent performance, and he was even more happy to see the silver ticket given by Guo Zhiyi. It is very easy for Cao Huachun to be promoted to the rank of a small general, and he can take the silver steadily.
"Does Zhang Chu have any ideas?" Since Zhang Chu is so real, Cao Huachun also tried to give him as many benefits as possible.
"Zhang Chu thinks it's good to stay in Shandong, and he doesn't want to be transferred elsewhere, he just wants to expand the territory under his jurisdiction to manage Weihaiwei." Guo Zhiyi replied cautiously.
"What do you want that place for?" Cao Huachun often followed the emperor around, and he was still relatively clear about the affairs of the world, and he was also very clear about the current situation of the guard.
"Zhang Chu was originally born in poverty, and he couldn't bear to see the military households in Weihaiwei being poor, and he wanted to take them over, and he had a way to live while eating the food and salary allocated by the saint." Guo Zhiyi replied according to what Zhang Chu had taught him beforehand.
"He is a rough general, it is rare to have such a benevolent heart, tell him that I will let him get his wish." Cao Huachun took a big bag. (To be continued.) )
