Sima Jing picked up the teacup and sipped it twice, then he said slowly: "Mr. Lu knows the matter of Commander Dong being transferred to the commander-in-chief."

"I know, Mr. Sima has said it just now." This is really redundant. I said it once just now, and now I will emphasize, what should I say?

"I am all my own people, so I won't go around in circles." Sima Jing gently placed the teacup on the table made of rosewood, and then said seriously: "Young Master Dong was transferred to the position of the commander-in-chief, but this guard commander is hereditary. The Dong family has been operating for several generations and has many interests in the guard of Lizhou. I hope these interests can be protected after leaving office."

Lu Haoshan immediately said: "These are reasonable, and there is no need to remind Mr. Sima that Dong is my boss and has always taken good care of Lu. Needless to say, these things do not dare to harm the interests of Lord Chen."

"Very good," Sima Jing continued: "In addition, the other four thousand household heads are all members of the Chief Dong. I hope that Lord Lu will not cleanse them after taking office to protect their interests."

"This..." Lu Haoshan hesitated a little. There are five thousand households in Lizhou Guards, and Wenchong Qianhou is managed by himself. All four of the five thousand households do not obey their own commands. One guard commander only has one thousand household chief who can be used to move. Isn't this a joke? It doesn't make sense if it is promoted or not.

Seeing Lu Haoshan hesitating, Sima Jing said kindly: "Brother Lu, don't worry. In fact, after you take office, separate the troops and politics, so that soldiers can train more attentively. Lord Han also admires this method very much, saying that Brother Lu is a smart person, and this way can also be followed this way. In the future, the army will be responsible for Brother Lu, and the chores will be arranged for those thousand households. Anyway, Brother Lu's tea and horse transactions require recruiting soldiers and horses, and there are many soldiers under the tent, so there is also a place to go. This can be considered as cutting tofu with both sides, and one is cheaper for two families."

I understood that Lu Haoshan's heart suddenly ran away with millions of grass and mud horses, almost wanting to curse.

Sima Jing said it very clearly that he took over the army, but the interests of the garrison were still from Dong Jian's group. In fact, it was right to think about it. The laws and regulations in the late Ming Dynasty collapsed and land merged into a trend. The land of the garrison was no exception. Through various means, the leaders of the garrison occupied the land and turned the soldiers of the garrison into their own slaves. Dong Jian's abacus was very loud, that was, the official was promoted, but the money was also taken, and his butt was moved, and his hands were stretched out long to continue to guard the interests of the Lizhou Guard.

In this way, Lu Haoshan raised soldiers, and he could drink soldiers' blood openly behind his back, which means that Lu Haoshan would have to support a guard soldier with the power of a thousand households, and if he were others, he would definitely give up. However, Lu Haoshan just hesitated for a moment and agreed quickly in his heart, but he still had to seek some benefits: "Mr. Sima. Is this what the commander is meant?"

"So that's it."

"The vacant position of Wen Chong Qianhu Chief..."

Sima Jing said readily: "This is Brother Lu, I have to recommend the virtuous and kind."

Well, in order to achieve his goal, he started calling me "Brother". His face turned really fast.

Lu Haoshan gritted his teeth and said seriously: "I understand. Although it is a bit difficult, please tell the commander to do as Mr. Sima wants."

"Sima is just a runaway life, this is what Mr. Dong means." Sima Jing smiled and took himself off.

Lu Haoshan picked up the teacup and said, "Mr. Sima has come from afar. Thank you for your hard work. Lu toast Mr. Sima with tea instead of wine. Please."

"please"

The two looked at each other and smiled, which was considered to have reached an agreement on the matter.

In fact, Lu Haoshan has no better choice. Now he is relying on Han Wen, relying on others, and he does not have much bargaining ability. Besides, although he lacks the money and grain of four thousand households, Lu Haoshan is confident that he can still afford the soldiers under his command, and the exchange of tea and horses can also bring stable returns. There is no need to conflict with Dong Jian for a little benefit. At most, it is like raising a pig, so he can grow him into "fatty" and find a chance to slaughter him.

There were four thousand households at once, and the actual quota for the troops alone had more than 5,000 people. In this way, we could recruit soldiers without making small fuss. We could give Han Wendeng and Dong Jian face and bring real benefits to ourselves. Why not do it?

Two quarters of an hour later, Sima Jing stepped onto the carriage with a smile on his face. This time he was very successful as a lobbyist. Lu Haoshan agreed without any comments. He originally planned to spend more time on the road, but he didn't expect that Lu Haoshan would go on the road more than he thought. He took responsibility and saved the interests. There was nothing better than this. Of course, Lu Haoshan did not let Sima Jing go for nothing, and gave Sima Jing a local specialty when he went to war. With this local specialty, Sima Jing's smile became more friendly.

Ordinary local specialties are the most favorable, but Lu Haoshan's local specialties are a bit special: a set of four treasures in the top study, a huge cat's eye stone, a pair of pearls, and a silver note of three thousand taels. After Sima Jing accepted it with a smile, he praised Lu Haoshan for his work.

"Dongweng" Lu Haoshan returned to the study and quickly stood up to salute Lu Haoshan.

When the two of them were discussing just now, Li Nian kept hiding in the small compartment in the study room and heard their conversation clearly. This was Lu Haoshan's idea, so that he would repeat it again when he got it. Li Nian respected Lu Haoshan as an adult in front of others. When there was no one, he was called Dongweng, which meant to be close.

After Lu Haoshan sat down straight down, he spoke, "Mr. Li, have you heard it?"

"Heard"

"Oh, what do you think."

Li Nian said happily: "Sir, the opportunity is here."

"I hope to hear the details."

"Acquiring a position of thousands of households can help strengthen the army, obtain a land of one guard, and achieve the foundation for development. Now Dongwen is the commander of one guard, and can recruit soldiers and horses openly. Focusing on Sichuan, you can achieve the world. Now there are the Later Jin Tartars who are eyeing each other, and insiders and bandits are in chaos. As the saying goes, heroes come from troubled times, and heroes are created in the times. The court has no time to pay attention to it, and the newly appointed commander is also focused on Dongwen, which is the opportunity to dig up."

Famous, favorable, and powerful. With the support of the Zhao clan and the help of the head of Pubuwanhu, it was time to plan. Lu Haoshan nodded and said, "Yes, it's time to launch it. Although some interests were sacrificed this time, fortunately, the soldiers of those garrisons were under our management. This is better. However, Sichuan borders with the border and has a Xingdu Department, with more than 200,000 troops and only one garrison. It is difficult to achieve great things."

The commander of the guard has five thousand households under his jurisdiction, with a full staff of 5,600 people, and only 5,600 people. It is a bit of a dream to be aware of Sichuan. It is just a secret development, but it is just the income of a thousand households and cannot support so many troops. It is just that Han Wenden has a difficulty in raising an army. This is a bottomless pit.

No matter how elite the troops are, it is useless. There are so many prefectures and counties in Sichuan, and the troops are divided into one scattered. How many people can a county be divided into? Even Li Shimin's Xuanjia Army did not retreat.

Now the rebel army has broken out of the carefully woven encirclement of the court. It is like a disaster spreading across the country. It is estimated that it won’t take long before Zhang Xianzhong’s big thief began to plot against Sichuan because of his cruelty and abuse. Even later generations had the helpless act of filling Sichuan with Huguang. In this life, with his own existence, this dark history will not be repeated.

Absolutely not.

Li Nian said confidently: "Sir, those who accomplish great things do not care about the trivialities. Sometimes, in order to achieve their goals, we must also care about the trivialities."

Lu Haoshan raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Listen to Mr. Li, there is a solution. There are no outsiders here. Please ask Mr. Li to see the truth."

"Dongweng, everything has two sides. Some things seem to be bad. There are also good sides when it comes to another angle. For example, bandits. Many generals in history can sometimes suppress those bandits in one fell swoop, but they will let them go intentionally or unintentionally, and even secretly strengthen them. In this way, the court cannot take back the military talismans in his hand, so he can only let him continue to lead the troops. If there are soldiers in his hand, the court will also be a little concerned. This is the legend that raising bandits is self-respecting. If you want to visit Sichuan, you have to make a fuss about the word bandits."

It is obvious that Li Nian has fully opened its firepower. With the advent of the new type of musket, Lu Haoshan has also gained confidence. This time he was promoted to Lizhou Guard Command History, which can be said to be the icing on the cake.

"Yes, this bandit put on military uniforms and turned into a soldier immediately. Mr. Li, where should this article be written?" Lu Haoshan asked seriously.

Commander of the Wei Shi, this is already a great promotion. Unless there is a great opportunity, it will be difficult to make any improvements in the short term. Now is the best time to develop. Lu Haoshan is a little impatient. Since it is not easy to do, then develop it in a dark way. Besides, he doesn’t have that much money and grain to support too many soldiers.

There is another advantage. If Sichuan is in chaos, the court will not be able to mobilize troops to suppress bandits. With the heroic performance in the past, the most feared thing is that Chongzhen will think of himself...

If you have the troops of a guard in your hands, you will have another force in secret. If you cooperate with each other, you will definitely do many big things.

Sichuan is just a plump mulberry leaf, and it is time to slowly erode it.

Li Nian smiled slightly and said, "Yao Huang Shisan Family"

The 13th family of the Yellow Emperor?

Lu Haoshan immediately understood that the 13th family of Yaohuang is a very hated force, composed of local gentry, mobs, refugees, etc. They have no special ideals or goals. After all, they do everything in order to survive, such as kidnapping, murder, arson, robbery, etc., and they are just a general term. The leader is not fixed, and there is no unity between them. These tyrants with force and brains are best to start.

If people are sent to infiltrate, slowly gain leadership and slowly erode other forces, and if necessary, they will send officers and soldiers to cooperate and cultivate slowly, it will definitely be a force that cannot be ignored in time.

Li Nian has put in a lot of effort and has done enough homework.

Lu Haoshan nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Li is really Zhuge Liang, and Lu admires him."

"I dare not eat Dongwen's salary, so I will naturally do my best to Dongwen. These are the duties of students." Li Nian immediately said respectfully.

"Okay, let Mr. Li do this matter and send a spy to find out the situation as soon as possible. You can call it. You must find out clearly. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. Take another charter and plan before you can act. We must write this article well." Lu Haoshan sneered: "As long as this article is done and find another opportunity, what's the difficulty of taking this country of Heaven?"

Li Nian immediately stood up and said with a serious look on his face: "Yes, Dongweng, students will do it right away."

"No hurry" Lu Haoshan smiled and asked him to sit down, shook his head and said, "The New Year will be celebrated in a few days. I have worked hard all year and don't care about these few days. Besides, I have to integrate the four thousand households. In addition, there is one thing that is more urgent than the thirteen Yao and Huang families."

"Oh, I wonder what's so urgent?"

Lu Haoshan tapped the table with his finger and said, "We have recruited so many people. On the surface, we sent troops to escort them for the needs of tea and horse trading. For this reason, we send huge gold to Han Wenden every year, asking him to open one eye and close one. Sima Jing mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally, probably to imply that he expressed dissatisfaction with the number we gave, and this matter should not be taken lightly."

Li Nian asked in a low voice: "What does Dongweng mean?"

"Borrow the name of the New Year and give him another 10,000 taels. In addition, don't let him think that this money is too easy to make. It's too peaceful recently. Discuss Pubu and create some accidents and show him how to do it, so that he knows that there are risks in doing this business, so that he won't be jealous and will force one hand in at that time." Lu Haoshan said with a sneer.

I am not afraid of thieves stealing, but I am afraid of thieves remembering it. Before he could reach out, I had to cut off his thoughts and let him wait for Kaojing peacefully.

"Yes, sir."
