Chapter 826: Mutiny
Although Zhao Bingqian himself was restricted by his personal freedom, there were a group of subordinates in the Zhao Mansion who were responsible for daily purchases. So Zhao Bingqian summoned these subordinates who were quite "privileged" in the mansion overnight, and told them that the situation may have changed, and Li Xin's Three Guards Army is likely to not be able to grow long, so that they can recognize the situation clearly, turn back as soon as possible, and earn a fame and wealth for themselves in the future.
This is a typical first hit with a stick, and then a red date. Several subordinates bowed their heads and remained silent, Zhao Bingqian held back the anger in his heart and did not dare to attack. If these people were in normal times, they wouldn't even bother to look at them, but now they are just borrowing Li Xin's momentum, and they really treat themselves as a dish. If these people still don't know the times, once he gets rid of Li Xin's coercion and returns to power, the first thing to clean up is the gang of bastards around him.
"What are you doing? Whoever is the first to stand up, the old man will now be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Sure enough, there was a brave man under the heavy reward, and before the words landed, three people immediately stood up and expressed their willingness to serve the master. For the effect that can be achieved with three hundred taels of silver, Zhao Bingqian is very satisfied.
"Very good, come on!" The old butler immediately stepped forward a few steps, "Go, go and get three hundred taels of silver now, and distribute it to these three righteous servants!" ”
The old butler promised to turn around and go out, and in a short time he dragged three bills from the tray, which were the old shops in the city that could be exchanged for tickets immediately. Otherwise, three hundred taels of silver, with the old butler's old arms and legs, it will be difficult to move. In addition, each person was rewarded with another fifty taels of silver, which were all real money.
The three of them put the real money in their pockets, and they were naturally overjoyed, they never expected to get such a big windfall in the blink of an eye. The rest of the servants who did not stand up at the first time were extremely red-eyed, regretting that they hesitated and did not stand up, and missed the three hundred and fifty taels of silver.
What Zhao Bingqian wanted was the heart of these servants who suffered from gains and losses, so he smiled: "Don't be greedy, who made your movements slow?" The old man has been following you for many years, and your grace is indispensable, go, and reward them with twenty taels of silver. ”
The old housekeeper led the two henchmen to the account room to withdraw the silver, and the rest of the servants immediately cheered again, twenty taels of silver is definitely not a small amount, and it takes at least two or three years for an ordinary family of two to earn this money, and they have earned several years of income in vain, how can they not be happy?
With just a small trick, he easily cleaned up this group of servants. Zhao Bingqian Xinzhong was quite proud, and he had already recovered most of his self-confidence in front of Li Xin. If he couldn't even deal with these servants, he would have been a local magistrate for so many years in vain.
"Well, seeing that you are still loyal to the old man, the old man is very pleased, and now the old man is going to give you an important task to do. After the deed is done, each person will be rewarded with another hundred taels! ”
The power of silver was enormous, and no matter what these servants thought in their hearts, most of them shouted in unison, "I am willing to go to the soup for the master, and I will not hesitate to do anything!" ”
Zhao Bingqian waved his hand with satisfaction, "Go to the soup and go to the fire, the old man can't let you take risks, now you only need to send a letter to the old man, and you can get these rewards." How, is there anyone who doesn't want this silver? You can quit now, what the old man hates most is that it is difficult for strong people, and of course it is impossible to make it difficult for you. ”
Where did the servants hesitate, it was Bai Huahua's silver, but what did those people in the Three Guards give them? It's just a privilege to be able to pass inside and outside the house at will, and there is not even half a hair in it. Only a fool will do his duty for the Three Guards. Therefore, more than a dozen servants all said that they wanted the money.
"Okay, come on, send the letters one by one!"
So everyone present received a letter sealed with fire paint, and on the top of the letter was a note, on which was marked the address of the recipient and the official position of the recipient.
Seeing that the servants all happily received the letter, Zhao Bingqian said: "Go now, as long as you hand over the letter to me, ask them to make a receipt, and one hundred taels of silver will be in hand!" ”
It wasn't until after the last servant had left that the old butler asked tremblingly and dissatisfiedly, "Is it worth spending so much money on these killers?" ”
Zhao Bingqian sneered: "As long as it is done, now how much they take me and how much they eat me, they will even spit out the belt bones." ”
The old housekeeper suddenly realized, gave a thumbs up, and praised Zhao Bingqian for his good strategy.
Zhao Bingqian has been a political envoy for many years, and he also has an old department in Hangzhou, and the original commander in the city has colluded with him, but the empty amount of this guy is too serious, and he has little combat effectiveness, so under heavy pressure, the city defense was taken away by the Three Guards, and now the Three Guards are looking unlucky, so why not stab him in the back?
The sky is getting dark, and Li Xin in the study is a little worried, the group of Japanese robbers who have just received the report have been locked in Xiaoshan, as long as the three guards arrive, they will be wiped out just around the corner. But what made Li Xin unable to calm down was what if another attack was sent by pirates? He can't stay in Zhejiang every day, right?
Whether it is a pirate or a pirate, they all covet the wealth along the coast of Zhejiang, and they come to grab a ticket to go back is enough to eat for several years. This situation is also one of the reasons why the Jiajing Dynasty has repeatedly suppressed the Japanese invaders. Now, I never expected that there would be a resurgence of the Japanese bandits.
Just when Li Xin was worried, a pro-soldier came to report.
"General, Zhao Bingqian has made a move, and sent a lot of people to communicate with the dignitaries in the city."
Li Xin was quite surprised that a clown like Zhao Bingqian dared to fight back.
"Do you know what the communication is about?"
"Zhao Bingqian thought that the Three Guards would be defeated, so he wanted to collude with the commanders in the city to take the opportunity to make trouble."
It's really beyond his strength, Li Xin secretly sneered, just rely on the command to make the group of vacancies under his command to fight against the elite and capable of fighting the three guards? The most valuable thing about people is that they are self-aware, this Zhao Bingqian, not only is he greedy and infinite, but also arrogant, and the most hateful thing is that this guy actually took advantage of the opportunity of the attack of the Japanese to plan to be a killer, didn't he think about it, what if the Three Guards couldn't withstand the Japanese because of his sneak attack? Let the whole city be plundered and bullied by the pirates?
Of course, this possibility will not happen, and Li Xin will not allow it to happen. Just this alone exposes Zhao Bingqian, and his body and heart are punishable.
"In that case, play with him, create an illusion for him, and let him drill into it himself. Killing himself, no one can save him. ”
Zhao Bingqian soon received most of the replyes, the most important of which was the reply from the old friend of the commander, who made it clear that as long as Zhao Bingqian gave the order, he would organize a group of low-level generals to take action quickly. Seeing the commander's strong statement, Zhao Bingqian couldn't help but sigh twice, if this guy could have made such a tough statement at the beginning, why would he lead the wolf into the room?
As long as he can withstand a month and a half moon, how can he give up the power of city defense? I didn't expect that in the end, I dug a pit for myself, and then buried myself with my own hands.
Zhao Bingqian also entrusted the old housekeeper to tell a few reliable servants to go out of the palace to investigate and see how the war between the Three Guards and the Japanese was going. As a result, no one came back to report the news for a whole morning, only the faint sound of artillery outside the city, one after another, and every blow made his heart tremble.
As the cannon fire got closer and closer, Zhao Bingqian could conclude that the battle must have been very fierce, and the Three Guards seemed to be unable to withstand the huge pressure of the Japanese outside the city, and they were defeated and retreated. Zhao Bingqian had even begun to imagine what he would do with those who had betrayed him once the counterattack was successful, and as for Li Xin, it would be better if he could catch him, and if he couldn't catch him, he would be kicked out of Hangzhou City and handed over to the Japanese to clean up.
However, without accurate returns, Zhao Bingqian did not dare to act without permission after all, so he could only wait anxiously and impatiently. It wasn't until it was dark that the servant who had gone out to inquire about the news finally returned.
"After a day of fighting outside the city, the man died, the blood flowed like a river, the Three Guards Army is not good, I think there are many people who have packed up their things, it seems that they don't plan to stick to Hangzhou, and are ready to retreat."
"These bastards have provoked the pirates, are they okay, pat their butts and leave?"
The old butler scolded hatefully.
At this moment, another servant ran into the main hall with a roar.
"Master, it seems that the guards guarding outside the mansion have all withdrawn, and a few brothers have just gone out, and no one cares about it."
"Good!" Zhao Bingqian slapped his thigh, knowing that the time was ripe.
"Immediately take my gift and go to the commander and tell him to do it tonight, don't hesitate!"
The handyman happily agreed and took Zhao Bingqian's gift and left, and then Zhao Bingqian asked the old housekeeper to organize all the family members, and he didn't plan to wait. After some mobilization, more than 200 people were organized under the Manchu Reward.
After Zhao Bingqian gave them a brief lecture, he rushed out of the mansion with everyone, and there was really no shadow of half of the Three Guards outside. Zhao Bingqian has his own plans, but it is by no means a disorderly break, first of all, he wants to control the top priority of Hangzhou, that is, the arsenal in the city. As long as you capture the armory, you can pull up the army at any time for self-defense. Now he has learned from the pain and knows the importance of having an armed force in his hands, and he must not pretend to be with others, otherwise he may be controlled by others at any time.
And the task of the commander is to seize the gates of Hangzhou, as long as the gates are controlled by his own people, tonight's operation will be considered a success. The group had just run halfway when they saw Gao Zhenfu panting and running towards them. When Zhao Bingqian saw this person, he sneered in his heart, and when he won all the gates in Hangzhou, the first thing Lao Tzu wanted to clean up was you.
