Chapter 413
Of course, Wu Zongda is not as silly as Zhang Zhicheng, nor is he as stupid as Zhang Fengyi. He thinks that a local chaebol like the Liu family will become his own disciple just because he said a few words and acted like him. This is impossible.
To put it bluntly, the Liu family is far larger than Zhang Fengyi's family. How could he become their disciple just because Zhang Fengyi said a few words to him? Wu Zongda believed one thing, that is, to make the Liu family obey orders, they must know their strong relationship and tempt them to benefit.
For example, when he asked Liu Bu to send troops this time, he promised a benefit, that was, his father Liu Yuanqiao was given the title of Minister of War and officially became one of the officials in Beijing, which gave it greater room for development.
Liu Bu still said the same thing. The other party was nominally his boss, so he did not dare to publicly resist the orders of his superiors, but he had various ways to drag him down. He agreed to send troops to wipe out the bandits, but he needed time, money and food, and a lot of messy things.
Wu Zongda is also a mature figure. He also knows how these old fry do things well. He knows that the other party will definitely not dare to publicly reject his orders, but whether the other party is willing to do it depends on whether he will execute it immediately. If the other party immediately pats his chest and goes to war, he will naturally obey his orders. If the other party agrees on the surface but secretly puts forward various conditions, this is actually dragging it out, just not wanting to go.
Wu Zongda also knew one thing. He wanted the other party to go out to fight and fight desperately. It would be impossible not to give some benefits. This matter was broken by Zhang Fengyi, the bird man. He took the money from the Liu family and actually strongly recommended Liu Bu as the general. Since Liu Bu has served as the general and is already a first-class military officer, it will not be easy to impress him.
If only Liu Bu was a general, he could now be appointed as a general and let him fight to the war. Now, Liu Bu became the general early and was not interested in other things at all. Wu Zongda understood one thing. If he did not give the other party good, it would be impossible for the other party to go out to fight. But he was young and could not have been appointed as a governor or a larger governor, right?
Of course, Wu Zongda is the second assistant to the cabinet and the imperial envoy. He has great authority in the local area and has great guidance and leadership over local officials. The other party dares not refuse him publicly, which shows the situation.
Although there is a saying that the emperor does not need hungry soldiers, he will still have to go if he sends you, a hungry soldiers. When he sees the other party dare not refuse, he puts forward all kinds of conditions, says all kinds of words, and refuses to say a refreshing word, he gets a little angry. He said, "General Liu, you are just saying the truth. When can the Liu family army be dispatched as soon as possible, and when can you dispatch it to Shaanxi to suppress bandits."
Liu Bu said the same thing, and he said: "It takes time for our army to assemble, and the army is dispatched. The food that this person eats horses and chews, and the food that needs is also a problem. It takes time to prepare. More importantly, it is almost winter now. Our army goes north to the north, and the cotton jackets we wear in winter and various tents to keep warm. How should we deal with this?"
In fact, the questions raised by Liu Bu are also the same problem. In fact, the army fought for logistics support. The current Ming Dynasty often ordered you to go to war and would not care about other matters.
In the eyes of these emperors or important officials of the cabinet, they are only responsible for caring for national affairs, handling these major matters, and mobilizing soldiers and generals. As for what these soldiers eat and wear, they should not be managed by them, but by the general who is in charge of the army. If you can't manage these small matters well, then what kind of generals are you?
According to the Ming Dynasty, if the army goes out to fight, it usually pays two military pay, one is paid by the original troops, and the other is paid by the place where the war is fought. That is to say, when he is fighting here in Fengyang, Shandong will give a military pay, and the place will also allocate one to them. In Fengyang, it is a world of flowers. It is a matter of one word to raise a military pay to them. But now they are going to the north, and the north has gradually cooled down and snow, and the weather is cold and frozen. Moreover, after years of war there, many places have become white land, and there is no people for dozens of miles. Where should he raise food and grass? Where should he raise military pay?
Liu Bu's Liu family army is different from another powerful army, Tianxiong Army. The Tianxiong Army has an awesome aspect, that is, there is a very awesome leader Lu Xiangsheng, who is very good at fooling others. Liu Bu does not have this ability. Liu Bu wants to fool others to fight to the war, only use money, food, welfare, and benefits. However, this governor Lu Xiangsheng can use some empty things to make everyone fight to fight to the war, not eat or drink. Just with the righteousness of the court, you can order soldiers to fight to the war to the death. Such officers and soldiers are the most popular among the courts, but Liu Bu has not learned this skill.
Of course, this is also related to Lu Xiangsheng's origin. He was born as a Jinshi. In the Ming Dynasty, he was called a righteous background and the best talent. Liu Yuanqiao was only a cute background in the Imperial College, which is considered a non-stop family. As for Liu Bu's generation, he was even more unbearable. It was already very extraordinary to make him a general. For him, a Jinshi, he was promoted and reused at any time.
Liu Bu's behavior now made Wu Zongda very angry. If it were Lu Xiangsheng of the Tianxiong Army, he would have led his army to fight against the bandits without saying a word. However, Liu Bu was better. He didn't say anything about fighting, and he had to eat, drink and use everything. To put it bluntly, he refused to go to war for the court, but he wanted benefits. If he didn't have any benefits, he refused to go to war.
Gao Wang really hoped that Liu Bu would get out of Yangzhou and leave here, he could dominate Yangzhou and publicly plunder more money here. You should know that Gao Wang has now poked a huge hole and can only think about filling the pit. He was thinking about collecting more taxes.
With Liu Bu's Liu family army here, it was a bit difficult for him to collect taxes without restraint, because no matter how they collected, they had to count the Liu family army. And now the Liu family army is guarding here, there is another problem, that is, they will stop collecting taxes randomly. In addition to the one allowed by the court, any harsh taxes and various levies were banned by them. To put it bluntly, the Liu family army has become a stumbling block to prevent them from getting rich, so he wants the other party to get out.
The Liu family army is here, and they are not easy to make money and are not easy to take over. If the Liu family army is not here, they can do whatever they want.
Gao Wang used to have common interests with the Liu family army, but he was very happy to cooperate, but seeing the Liu family army stopping them from getting rich and stopping them from doing things that are domineering and taxing, he was very angry and very unhappy.
The Liu family army was supported by the Liu family in Linqing, and could still stabilize the situation. He was highly respected but did not have such a backing. He had done his best and tried his best to fill that huge hole. So now he hoped that Liu Bu would leave so that he could make a fortune. So he also lobbyed with Wu Zongda, hoping that Liu Bu would leave. Of course, he said it very high-profile, hoping that Liu Bu would go out to serve the court and the people of the world.
Liu Bu greeted Wu Zongda with a smile, but his face immediately became cold to Gao Wang, the prefect of Yangzhou. It was not the first time he didn't want to go to Gao Wang. The other party was a little used to it, but when he saw Liu Bu facing Wu Zongda with a smile, he said nothing, but when he was talking to him, Gao Wang immediately turned black. This made Gao Wang feel a little embarrassed, so that he couldn't continue his high-profile and beautiful words as he spoke.
When Liu Bu saw that the other party could not continue, he said coldly: "Continue to edit it, it's so powerful."
No matter how shameless Gao Wang was, he couldn't stand the other party's attitude. He thought that he was putting his face on his cold butt today.
This is Wu Zhongda's affairs and has nothing to do with him. Liu Bu dared not give Wu Zhongda's face, but he looked at him. This made him very unhappy. However, Liu Bu has the power of military power, so he dared not do anything to Liu Bu. He just said something pleasing and beautiful on the surface.
Gao Wang said, "Why did General Liu say coldly to our mansion?"
Liu Bu said, "You don't know why I will speak coldly to you?"
Gao Wang said, "I don't know."
Liu Bu said coldly: "There are many rumors about the incubation of silver in Jiangnan. I also lost more than one million taels of silver in this matter. I was one of the victims, but some people said that this matter was planned by the general." When Liu Bu said this, his eyes were fierce and he stared at the other party fiercely.
Gao Wang saw the other party's terrible look, and he felt a little sweaty on his forehead. He said with a forced smile: "I don't know what a bastard said. You can also say such unfounded things. Who doesn't know that General Liu, you lost a lot of money and ate a lot of money from Lord Liu..."
Liu Bu said coldly: "Don't you know? I thought you knew very well?"
Gao Wang said with a forced smile: "How could this mansion know? If we know who is spreading rumors, we will definitely chop his head with our own hands to let him know not to talk nonsense and spread rumors."
Liu Bu said coldly: "Are you serious?"
Gao Wang had no choice but to say, "Take it seriously."
Liu Bu saw that the other party was so sure of what the other party said, he clapped. After he clapped, his confidant Liu Kang immediately brought in. Liu Kang was also a tall person. He carried this person like an eagle carrying a chicken, and directly carried it in and threw it in front of Gao Wang. The other party wanted to escape, but Liu Kang kicked it in the butt and rolled to Gao Wang's feet.
