According to the official system, the Xuanfu has one general soldier, one deputy general soldier, seven generals, and the rest of the guerrilla garrison has as many as dozens of people. It's just that the current numbers are completely different from the theoretical figures, and there are only six or seven military leaders who still have power in Xuanfu.

Among them, the strongest is the chief military officer Zhao Shujiao, to say that Zhao Shujiao was still leading the troops in Liaodong, but unfortunately he stood on the wrong team and almost died in the hands of Zhang Ke. After escaping from Liaodong, he spent a lot of money to bribe the courtiers, but he scored twice and ran to Xuanfu as a general soldier. Because of his sympathy with Xiong Tingbi, he is regarded as his right-hand man.

Under Zhao Shu's teaching, the deputy chief soldier was named Wei Yong, he was a hereditary general, and later pretended to be Wei Zhongxian's godson, and jumped to the deputy chief soldier, who was the most trusted person by the eunuch Gu Jun.

In addition to these two people, there are also several generals who are famous for guerrillas, including Tiger Dawei, Fierce as a Tiger, Ai Wannian and Zhang Yingchang, etc., with at least two or three thousand men under them, and the others are ordinary people, which are not worth mentioning.

With Zhu Chuanzhi, the land lord, Zhang Ke found out the situation in Xuanfu within a few days.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent has won all battles, Zhang Ke's confidence has increased greatly at this time, and everything is under control.

"Du Qing, do you want to deposit the silver in the Yongfeng?"

"It's already saved, but it's ......" Du Qing asked puzzledly: "Lord Wang, behind the Yongfeng are Shanxi people, and the White Lotus Sect in the capital has nothing to do with them. We also have our own bank bill number, why bother to deposit to the Yongfeng number, isn't it an enemy? ”

"Du Qing, have you ever fished?"

"Of course I did."

"Then do you want to put some bait before you can take the big fish?"

"Oh!" Du Qing woke up like a dream all of a sudden, and said in surprise: "Lord Wang, are you throwing out the bait?" ”

"You have to eat one bite at a time, first deal with these military leaders, and then go to eradicate civilian officials, and the rest of the merchants are fish without water. Fiddle with it however you want. ”

Du Qing was stunned for a moment, and could only stretch out two thumbs, "Lord Wang, you are powerful, tall, too tall!" ”

"Don't say those sycophants, send a letter to my eldest brother, and ask him to take the men and horses as quickly as possible until those local snakes come to receive the food. So he took their lair. ”

Zhang Ke is not a piece of Tang monk meat, but a grandson monkey who goes to heaven and the sea. How could he take out food and salary to fill the bottomless pit in vain, he couldn't look down on the people of Xuanfu at all, and he felt wronged to spend a tael of silver for these people.

The news thrown out was just bait, in order to catch the big and small swimming fish of Xuanfu and stew them in a spoonful.

……

"Brother Zhu, you said that King Anton really has that kind heart and wants to pay the big guys?" It was a big black man who spoke, and he was even more fierce than He Shixian. Riding a big black horse, like a dragon, this person is Yongning's general who is as fierce as a tiger, and he was also transferred from Shaanxi by Xiong Tingbi two years ago.

Fierce as a tiger, the generation will be the door. fought bravely, and several Tartar attacks were beaten by him. It's just that this person is more greedy, plus domineering. has never been appreciated by Shangguan.

"Brother Meng, this is your fault, what kind of character is King Anton. To put it mildly, there is more water flowing out of our fingers than we can get from working hard. Take your cloak as an example, it's velvet, right? ”

Meng Ruhu nodded subconsciously, he was indeed wearing a woolen cloak, which was given to him by a businessman last year. Thick and wind-resistant, it is very comfortable to wear. If it's time to camp, the cloak is a quilt, which is very convenient. Fierce as a tiger can't put it down, even in the beginning of spring, it is still worn on the body.

"What, what does this have to do with King Anton?"

"Oh, my brother Meng, don't you know, most of the woolen factories are in Jinzhou, Yizhou, that is the industry of King Anton, and millions of taels are paid every year. To tell you the truth, the younger brother has heard a sentence that King Anton often said in the past two days is that 'the problems that money can solve are not problems', listen, how much silver the hell does this have, I think the prince wants to buy all the Xuanfu! ”

"Buy it!"

Meng Ruhu's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "I am the one who gives the money and listens to whom, he Zhang Ke can afford the money, I will listen to him." ”

Sitting on horseback, he shouted loudly like a tiger: "Brothers, what are you waiting for, hurry up and go to Baoan Prefecture to lead the army's salary, it's too late, maybe it will be taken away by those grandsons." ”

When his subordinates heard this, their eyes turned green, like greedy wolves, and they followed as fierce as tigers, and a whirlwind rushed towards Baoanzhou.

They hurried slowly, but they were still a step late, and when they arrived outside the city, Zhang Yingchang had already set up camp, and when he saw the fierce tiger coming, he greeted him with a big smile.

"Brother Meng, is it fast enough?"

"No matter how fast it is, it's not as fast as you!" Meng Ruhu's face was a little displeased, and he asked, "Brother Zhang, did you start to send silver?" ”

"Brother Meng, you are too anxious, the prince is sending someone to check the number of people."

Suck!

The face of the fierce tiger changed slightly, in the past, the imperial court checked the empty amount, and paid silver according to the actual number of people, so as not to eat the problem of empty salary.

This time, Zhang Ke also wanted to check the number of people, but when Zhu Chuanzhi notified, he hinted that the big guys could use the old, weak, sick and disabled, and even farmers to fill the number. All the prince wants is the quantity, as long as the quantity is not bad, he can get the money.

"There are still such good things in the world, King Anton is also an old soldier, he will not know these little tricks, I don't believe that anyone is willing to waste money." Fierce as a tiger muttered.

Zhang Yingchang also frowned and said: "It's indeed a little weird, but it seems that you can give some more or less, as the so-called food is not too bad, Lao Meng, I admit it." ”

As he was talking, someone suddenly ran over and came to Zhang Yingchang.

"Lord Qiyu, Lu Butang is invited."

"It's Lord Lu! Don't hurry up and lead the way. ”

Zhang Yingchang hurried to the barracks, Lu Xiangsheng waited here with people, and after the salute, Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "General Zhang, I have sent someone to count the number of your men and horses, a total of 3,750 people, is there a mistake?" ”

Of course there is a mistake, there are only 1,000 real people among them, and the rest are extras, but Zhang Yingchang will not tell the truth.

"Qi Qi Ministry, there is nothing wrong at all, some of the brothers have not been paid military salaries for half a year, and please have mercy on the ministers." Zhang Yingchang said that his nose was sour.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and comforted: "General Zhang doesn't have to be like this, the prince has already given an order, you can take someone over to receive the silver." ”

Zhang Yingchang never expected that he would be so good at talking, he was so dizzy that he took his subordinates over. Zhang Ke gave him a total of 300,000 pieces of silver, half of which was military salary, 100,000 taels was a head reward, and 50,000 taels was equipment costs.

Carrying boxes of silver, Zhang Yingchang's feet fluttered lightly, and he couldn't imagine it.

Equally unimaginable is as fierce as a tiger, although he is suspicious, but the most greedy, even reported the number of 5,000 soldiers, and he easily got 500,000 taels of silver.

The news has no legs, and he runs faster than anyone else, and the generals who are still hesitating immediately seem to be crazy, and rush to Baoan Prefecture with red eyes, for fear that it will be too late. (To be continued......)
