"Governor Ganning......" After reading the first secret decree sent by his subordinates, Zhang Zhongming couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed in disbelief.

As a former official of the imperial court, Zhang Zhongming is very aware of the status of the official position of Governor Ganning in the imperial court.

It can be said that once he becomes the governor of Ganning, and the distance between the two provinces of Ganning and Taiyuan from the imperial court, he will become a veritable emperor of the two provinces......

Therefore, the first time he read the holy decree, Zhang Zhongming was attracted by this huge bait.

After all, with his current identity and strength, rejoining the imperial court is not only not harmful to him, but he can also exchange for such a high official position, why not do it......

However, this heartbeat did not last long, and it was calm again.

At this moment, as long as you have a little sense, you know that the imperial court has given itself such a holy decree at this time, and its purpose is only one, that is, to use yourself as a gunman...... Use yourself against the Haw Par Army......

Thinking of this, a sneer directly appeared on Zhang Zhongming's face.

Facing the former subordinates in front of him, he directly asked: "Governor Ganning, this official position is indeed very attractive...... However, I don't know if I have the ability to block the attack of the Tiger and Par Army on Ningxia and live to be the governor of Ganning......"

The underlying meaning of Zhang Zhongming's words is very obvious, that is, he already knows the purpose of the imperial court's intention to kill people with a knife...... It's just that the official position of a governor of Shanxi, this condition is too low, and it has no substantive significance......

can be sent by the imperial court to contact Zhang Zhongming, this former subordinate is not a fool......

Therefore, Zhang Zhongming's words have just been finished. The former subordinate hurriedly replied: "General, please rest assured. As long as the general you get the order. Reattached to the imperial court and served as the governor of Ganning...... The imperial court will definitely support you unconditionally to block the attack of the Haw Par Army......"

That's what Zhang Zhongming wants......

Therefore, as soon as the other party's words were finished, Zhang Zhongming affirmed: "Since this is the case, then I will receive the decree, and from now on, I will be the governor of Ganning in the imperial court...... Of course, if the imperial court cannot fulfill its promise to me. Then don't blame me for being rude......"

Seeing that things were completely developing in the direction he expected, the face of the imperial court messenger standing in front of him was immediately covered with a smile......

Hurriedly took out the second way, and as for the third to the holy decree, it was sent to Zhang Zhongming's hands together.

After reading the contents of these two holy decrees, the smile on Zhang Zhongming's face became even stronger.

Although he knew that in order to deal with the Tiger and Leopard Army, using himself as a gunman, the imperial court would definitely give himself some benefits and benefits.

However, what Zhang Zhongming didn't expect was. The benefits are so great......

The imperial court, which has always been stingy, in order to deal with the tiger and leopard army. Such a heavy bleeding completely exceeded Zhang Zhongming's expectations.

When Zhang Zhongming learned from the other party, the benefits promised by the imperial court could be in his hands in five days at the latest. Excited, he laughed out loud...... Then, he said with an arrogant face.

"As long as the imperial court fulfills its promise...... I, Zhang Zhongming, promise that I will guard the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo for the imperial court......"

Five days later, Zhang Zhongming, who was full of anticipation, received 500,000 taels of silver, 50,000 loads of grain, and a certain amount of firearms and equipment from the imperial court as promised......

Zhang Zhongming, who has never been so rich, faced with the Tiger and Leopard Army that was about to enter Ningxia, the first thing he thought of was to expand the army.

Of course, as a veteran, Zhang Zhongming also knew that the temporarily expanded army, even if it was well-equipped, could only be used to scare people......

When it comes to the battlefield, these newly expanded troops have only one ending, and that is the rout of the battlefield......

Therefore, Zhang Zhongming did not set the target on the ordinary people who have lost two or three percent of the two provinces.

In the two provinces of Gansu and Ningxia, in addition to Zhang Zhongming and the more than 10 bandits eliminated by Zhang Zhongming, there are at least 30 or more bandits.

Most of these bandits are rabble, and they don't have any fighting power to speak of.

However, no matter which bandit is in the bandits, they all have a certain percentage of elites. Otherwise, this bandit would have been swallowed up by other bandits in the process of growing and growing......

And Zhang Zhongming is interested in the elite of these bandits......

There are more than 100,000 bandits, and in Zhang Zhongming's view, there is still no problem in finding out the elite of 10,000 or 20,000 people.

Strengthen the 20,000 elites that he has expanded in more than ten days, and when the Tiger and Par Army enters Ningxia, he will have 40,000 elites.

Although it is not as good as the Haw Par Army in terms of weapons, it is more than twice as many as the Haw Par Army in terms of strength......

How can you let these bandits hand over the elite to themselves and obey their own command......

Zhang Zhongming's method is very simple, that is, to sprinkle silver to seal the official...... If you don't agree, directly send troops to eliminate it and make an example of it......

The most important reason why there are so many bandits in the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo is that the people have nothing to eat due to the drought every year......

Therefore, the reason why these bandits rebelled is very simple, that is, to have a full stomach......

In this case, as long as you take out the silver and food, and use your status as the governor of Ganning, you will wantonly seal them and give them an official position. They will definitely give up their careers as bandits who may lose their heads at any time and become officials with silver......

As for those who do not accept the title, it means that these people have some plans......

As the future governor of Ganning, Zhang Zhongming certainly didn't want to see such unruly people appear within his jurisdiction.

Therefore, for these people, Zhang Zhongming's method is simpler, directly send troops to eliminate them, and make an example of them......

Zhang Zhongming is confident that in the eyes of the bandit leaders in Gansu and Ningbo provinces, he only needs more than 100,000 taels of silver and tens of thousands of loads of grain to buy them all and let them obediently hand over the elite in their hands to themselves......

Just do it......

Zhang Zhongming, who had just taken the money and had not even realized the heat in his hands, directly took out 100,000 taels or 5,000 loads of grain and distributed them to several henchmen and generals under his command. Let them take money and food and go to the conscription......

Not to mention, for these bandit leaders who have never seen the world, the temptation of silver and food is incomparable to anything.

In less than five days, more than 20,000 elites came to the outside of Xining City and reported to Zhang Zhongming.

In the face of increasingly tight time, facing the Haw Par Army that may enter Ningxia at any time.

Zhang Zhongming did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and almost came to an army, and equipped and trained an army.

And put 50,000 taels of silver on the training ground as a reward to stimulate these elites to train...... (To be continued......)
