Chapter 19: Ascend Lai Guerrilla
The news soon reached Zhaojiabao.
The development of the incident exceeded Zhao Yan's expectations, even the most optimistic Liu Heng was dumbfounded by the development of the incident, Wu Anbang was directly arrested and questioned, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out the doorway.
In the final analysis, it is because of Zhao Yan's status in the Shandong Merchant Gang, Zhao Yan at this moment is the God of Wealth in the Shandong Merchant Gang, and this time Wu Anbang's plot against the Zhao family's glass mirror has touched their nerves.
If the secret recipe of the glass mirror is only known to the Zhao family, then the merchants of the entire Shandong Gang have silver to earn, if the secret recipe of the glass mirror is lost, how can there be such a privilege. When the time comes, the merchants of the world can sell, which round to get the merchants of Shandong.
This truth has been clarified, and the vast majority of Shandong businessmen are abiding by it, and some people will jump out to break the rules, and they will inevitably take action.
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents!
Under the leadership of Zheng Shilian, everyone in the court went to say hello. Zhao Yan bribed the governor Zhu Dadian, and Zheng Shilian and others felt that it was not very safe, so they asked the political envoy of Shandong to also participate in Wu Anbang.
In addition, Wu Anbang has no connections, and no soldiers. is completely cannon fodder, and almost no one in the DPRK and China speaks for Wu Anbang. On the contrary, because Shandong businessmen had said hello, many officials said good things to Zhao Yan.
The reason why Wu Anbang wanted to plot the glass mirror of the Zhao family was because he had no silver. Dengzhou, a poor place, no matter how much money you make, how can you get the money to make a little bit in the court?
However, Zhu Dadian was still a little uneasy, the thieves had just broken through in Hanzhong, Chen Qiyu's fate could be placed there, this time he wanted to appease Zhao Yan, and he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart.
In case this Zhao Yan harbors evil intentions and causes some chaos in Shandong, then his hat as a governor will not be able to be saved. If he goes in, the first is not in line with the will of the saint, and if there is a trouble, he will lose his official hat.
Although I think about it in my heart, I still have to caress it.
However, this Zhao Yan asked Zheng Shilian to give him tens of thousands of taels of silver last time, and he was already showing favor to him, and generally speaking, there was no demon moth. But this Zhao Yan even dared to resist the general soldier Wu Anbang, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no trouble in the future.
So Zhu Dadian sent Zhang Wenju, the political envoy, to Zhaojiabao, and the appeasement naturally had to talk about the conditions first.
Among the three divisions in Shandong, all command the envoys have been despised by the world since Zhengde, and Wang Zhenyi, who is the judge, is his person, but Zhang Wenju, the political envoy, is not wearing the same pants as him.
The system of the governor is to form a restriction from the top down, and it is also a restriction to the governor from the bottom up, and the Taoist officials below can directly report it, and if the governor makes any trouble, they will also be impeached.
Sending the political envoy Zhang Wenju to Zhaojiabao to appease him naturally has its profound meaning. In case something happens to Zhao Yan in the future, you Zhang Wenju should shut up for me, otherwise the saint will even do it with you.
Zhang Wenju was not worried, and accompanied by Zheng Shilian, they came to Zhaojiabao together. Zhao Yan heard that Zhang Wenju and Zheng Shilian were coming, and hurriedly led people out to greet him.
When Zhao Yan saw this Wenju, he didn't kneel down and salute, he was a showman, and he didn't worship the official. It's just that Zhang Wenju did it.
"The nephew doesn't have to be polite, Lord Zhang is his own person, hehe!" Zheng Shilian smiled, and Zhang Wenju also smiled and nodded, "I can't imagine that he is so young, he is really a hero!" ”
"The students are deeply ashamed to bother the adults to come in their busy schedules. Students have prepared food and drinks, so please come here. Zhao Yan directly filtered Zhang Wenju's top hat, with a smile on his face that was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Okay." Zhang Wenju nodded. Under the leadership of Zhao Yan, he entered Zhaojiabao.
Zhang Wenju took a closer look at the strange-shaped city wall of Zhaojiabao when he entered the fort and asked, "How did this city wall look like this?" ”
"This is a fortress, if the enemy attacks this fort, no matter which side it attacks, it can be saved from the left and right. With fire cannons and arrows on three sides, the enemy who is surrounded by ants attacking the city will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. The fortress is the style of the fortress built by the Westerners, the governor of Fujian in the third year of the Apocalypse, Nanju Yi Nai, played the expulsion, began to attack Penghu in the first month of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, with 200 warships, and the strength of 10,000 people dealt with only 13 warships, and the Hongyi people of more than 900 troops did not fall for eight months, all because the Hongyi people built a fortress on Penghu. In the end, because the Hongyi people were isolated and helpless, Fang retreated to Xiaoliuqiu. Zhao Yan said on the side.
"Hmmm! This fort is good. Zhang Wenju's heart moved, but his expression did not change.
Entered Zhaojiabao and invited Zhang Wenju into the table, in a sumptuous banquet, Zhang Wenju seemed more enthusiastic, and Zhao Yan had a lot of wine, sure enough, it was his own person, and even the title became a virtuous nephew and a little nephew.
"The virtuous nephew is practicing the township to protect the territory and the people, the saint intends to hire you exceptionally, and the governor intends to let you serve as a guerrilla in Denglai, I don't know if the virtuous nephew is willing?" Zhang Wenju asked.
"Den Lai guerrilla!" Zhao Yan turned around in his heart, and the military attache system of the Ming Dynasty was the general army, the deputy general soldier, the general, the guerrilla, and the garrison. This guerrilla general said that it was low but not low, and that it was not high when he said that it was high.
Zhao Yan knew that he didn't make much trouble, so he couldn't get anything too high-grade. If it is bigger, it is estimated that it is necessary to get a general soldier.
However, Zhao Yan doesn't attach much importance to the grade, the grade is just to decide on things like silver and money, and he doesn't lack so much money.
In this troubled world, the most important thing is to have soldiers at hand. With soldiers in hand, the emperor can only cry out in vain.
"To contribute to the country, the little nephew has no willingness." Zhao Yan was generous and agreed directly.
"Well, the virtuous nephew has the heart to serve the country, and presumably the saint will definitely be greatly relieved by this." Zhang Wenju said with a smile: "But if the virtuous nephew has any requirements, he has to say it, and the official will explain it to the governor when he goes back." ”
"The little nephew has nothing else to ask for, but hopes to mobilize troops and horses in Shandong to suppress bandits. The little nephew has 3,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and he can be treated according to the general treatment. Zhao Yan said: "I just hope that the governor can send some craftsmen from the army." ”
The main purpose of this bewilderment is to become a regular, and there is a legitimate identity, and it doesn't matter if the grade is high. Secondly, it would be good to get some craftsmen.
"Okay, these officials will tell the governor." Zhang Wenju couldn't imagine that Zhao Yan's conditions were so simple, he was so satisfied, and he couldn't help but be very satisfied.
……
After Zhang Wenju returned to Jinan and explained Zhao Yan's conditions to Zhu Dadian, Zhu Dadian pondered for a long time and said: "Soldiers and horses cannot be transferred at will, if he wants to go out of Denglai to suppress bandits, he can report to the governor first." As for some craftsmen, it is okay to transfer some to him. ”
Later, Zhu Dadian sent people to Zhaojiabao to discuss the detailed agreement of appeasement.
Zhao Yan doesn't care about not being able to transfer soldiers and horses out of Denglai at will, if you don't let me transfer them, you can transfer them secretly! There's nothing to dwell on either.
The main discussion between the two sides is the craftsman aspect.
Zhao Yan asked for a large number of craftsmen, and directly opened the number of 500 craftsmen.
"What! 500 craftsmen, what does he want so many craftsmen to do? Zhu Dadian was shocked.
"Then Zhao Yan said that the imperial court was in financial difficulties, and in order to reduce the burden of the imperial court, the weapons in his army could be raised by himself, but there was a lack of craftsmen."
"Since he is willing to raise his own weapons, let him go to the men of David to choose."
