After Wu Xinyan eliminated his doubts, he even felt that the military attachés in front of him were a little friendly for a while.
Wu Xinyan did not feel embarrassed at all regarding the various requests made by the military attaches.
With Liang Fuchen personally going to the Hetao area to take charge, there are no longer any civil or military officials in the Huamachi camp who can check Wu Xinyan. Moreover, during this period, the supply logistics provided by the imperial court to support the Hetao area have been endless and the amount is staggering. Wu Xinyan
Xin Yan could easily satisfy the requirements of these military attachés with just a little manipulation in secret.
In fact, during this period of time, Wu Xinyan has secretly manipulated military resources and logistics more than once, and his pockets have become quite fat.
In Wu Xinyan's view, the court was very rich, and Zhao Junchen was also very good at making money. If there was money, everyone should make it together. It was the most cost-effective business in the world to be generous to the court and earn favors and credits for oneself.
Therefore, without any hesitation, Wu Xinyan agreed to the various requests of the military attaches and stated that Huamachi Camp would give priority to providing them with the most sophisticated weapons and armor in the future.
However, although Wu Xinyan agreed to the requests of the military attaches, these military attaches still did not express their support on the spot. They just turned their attention to Liu Manniu, who had been silent.
Wu Xinyan was not surprised by this situation. He had already seen it. Although Liu Manniu was taciturn and Li Pi spoke on behalf of everyone most of the time, he was obviously the leader of the military attaches.
As for the characters, Li Pi would take a look at Liu Manniu's reaction every time before making a statement.
Therefore, Wu Xinyan also turned his attention to Liu Manniu and asked with a smile: "Liu Shoubei, we are all our own people now, do you have any difficulties? If you have any difficulties, just raise them directly.
I will definitely try my best to solve it for you."
After Liu Manniu pondered for a moment, he slowly said: "If there is a difficulty, there is indeed one thing! The internal levels of each border town in our country are clearly divided. From bottom to top, they are small flags, general flags, hundreds of households, thousands of households, and garrison.
, staff general, deputy commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, and garrison commander-in-chief!
The humble position currently governs the entire North Road of Guyuan Town, but such an important position as Guyuan North Road should have been under the jurisdiction of a general. However, after the former general of Guyuan North Road died in the Hetao battle, this position has been vacant.
, my humble position is currently only in charge of the North Road in a garrison position, but after all, the name is not justified, and it is often inconvenient to do things. In the future, even if I want to fully support Supervisor Wu, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it. "
On the other side, Li Pi also helped: "Wu Jianjun, you don't know Liu Shoubei's grievances. After he was forced to join the new army, he participated in the Xiaochuan River Victory, the Weishui River Victory, and the battle to recapture the Hetao. He did not miss it.
In any important war, among the many military attachés on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, he not only participated in the most battles, but also made the most meritorious service. Logically speaking, even being promoted to three levels in a row is not too much!
But in the past, Zhao Junchen was afraid that his prestige among the new soldiers was too high, so he secretly suppressed him. Finally, after Zhao Junchen left, Mr. Liang Ge came, and Mr. Liang did not trust us, the new soldiers.
Born, and Liu Shoubei has always been taciturn, he did not explain the truth to Mr. Liang Ge in time, so he was deliberately suppressed again!
With Liu Shoubei's military exploits, prestige, and qualifications, no one else could be worthy of the position of General of Guyuan Zhenbei Road except him. However, Mr. Liang Ge always looked down upon him, but Liu Shoubei's military exploits and prestige were really inferior to him.
He couldn't stand it, so he was asked to take charge of the entire Guyuan North Road from a defensive position. It was obvious that he wanted to be treated coldly, and he would be replaced sooner or later, which is very chilling."
Wu Xinyan quickly understood that Liu Manniu wanted to be promoted.
For Wu Xinyan, this is not a difficult task. As the supervisor of the Shaanxi-Gansu Army, he originally has the right to evaluate merits and demerits, rewards and punishments. If he wants to promote Liu Manniu, he only adds more on the occasion of submitting a memorial to Emperor Deqing.
A matter of one stroke.
What's more, Wu Xinyan was originally dissatisfied with Liang Fuchen's deliberate hiding in the Hetao area during this period, and naturally he would not consider Liang Fuchen's mood and thoughts. He immediately patted his chest and assured: "The imperial court really shouldn't let the hero down!
Liu Shoubei can rest assured that as long as you can fully assist our family in rectifying the border army, let alone a mere general, we can win the position of deputy commander-in-chief or even commander-in-chief for you!"
After saying that, Wu Xinyan turned to look at the other military attaches and promised: "The same goes for all generals! As long as we help our family complete His Majesty's purge plan, we will all be rewarded in the future! One hundred households will be promoted to one thousand households.
A thousand households will be promoted to garrison, and a garrison will be promoted to general, our family will do what we say!"
After hearing Wu Xinyan's promise, all the military attachés looked at each other again, and finally did not hesitate anymore. Led by Liu Manniu, they stood up one after another, clasped their fists in unison and said: "Jiang Wu and the others will definitely serve as Supervisor Wu from now on."
If you follow the horse's lead, you will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Seeing that all the military attachés finally expressed their full support for him, Wu Xinyan laughed immediately, feeling that his mission of purging the border troops and eliminating Zhao Junchen's influence was more than half successful!
However, Wu Xinyan did not know that the military attachés in front of him were Zhao Junchen's true confidants and die-hard supporters who stayed in Shaanxi and Gansu. They and their subordinates had even reached the point where they only knew about Zhao Junchen but not about him.
The status of the imperial court!
In short, as long as Liu Manniu, Li Pi and others are not implicated, even if the imperial court repeatedly purges the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu ten times, Zhao Junchen's power foundation will still be as stable as ever!
In this way, after the two sides reached an "interest alliance", all the military attachés acted actively. Not only did they contribute forcefully, but they also actively provided intelligence information to Wu Xinyan!
"Guyuan North Road has a garrison of 12,000 people, of which about 6,000 are available for low-level positions. They are ready to listen to Supervisor Wu's orders at any time!"
"Wu Jianjun, according to my humble knowledge, Cai Xun, the garrison officer of Sanyuan City in Ningxia Town, has a very close relationship with Zhao Junchen. After the victory of the Weishui River, he clearly had no military merits, but Zhao Junchen still asked the imperial court for him, which is enough to prove this.
He is Zhao Junchen's confidant, he has five thousand soldiers and horses under his command, and we must pay special attention to it during the next purge!"
"Not only Cai Xun, but also Lu Ping, the deputy commander-in-chief of Guyuan Town. When Zhao Junchen was still presiding over the military affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu, this Lu Ping had secret discussions with Zhao Junchen many times. It is obvious that he has a close relationship!"
"Zhao Junchen's influence in Shaanxi and Gansu is indeed huge. It can be said that there are many party members all over the place. His humble boss Wu Yan gave Zhao Junchen a large amount of money in the first place to get to where he is today..."
Listening to the information provided by the military attaches, Wu Xinyan couldn't help but look more serious. He felt that Zhao Junchen had too many party members left in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the purge must be very involved. At least half of the military attachés from all over the country were involved.
Needs to be cleaned and replaced.
However, he still did not doubt the information provided by these military attachés, because the information was also completely consistent with the information he had collected during this period.
The fact is that after Zhao Junchen led his army to annihilate the Mongolian coalition forces, he was in great glory for a while. At that time, almost all the civil and military officials in Shaanxi and Gansu were vying to flatter Zhao Junchen and wanted to get on Zhao Junchen's lap.
.
Therefore, to put it bluntly, the vast majority of civil and military officials in Shaanxi and Gansu are related to Zhao Junchen, and they will also be implicated during the imperial purge.
But these civil and military officials just want to speculate. They are not Zhao Junchen's true confidants, and they will never sacrifice their lives for Zhao Junchen in the future!
At the same time, Zhao Junchen had predicted at that time that Emperor Deqing would definitely purge Shaanxi-Gansu officials and eliminate his own influence in the future, so he did the opposite and deliberately tried to win over those speculative officials who flattered them.
, vigorously promoted, but on the contrary, he deliberately suppressed and treated his real subordinates coldly.
People like Liu Manniu, Li Pi, Nie Cheng and others, as Zhao Junchen's true confidants and die-hard supporters, not only did they not appear on Zhao Junchen's list of people asking for credit after the war, they were promoted faster than those opportunistic officials who flattered him.
Go slower.
This is because, in Zhao Junchen's plan, those speculative officials who only know how to flatter others are just cannon fodder and cover, that is, they are the scapegoats during the imperial purge!
And people like Liu Manniu, Li Pi, Nie Cheng and others will have to wait until the court takes action to purge them, before they can see a turn in their careers!
That is now!
*
However, it was said that after the military attachés and Wu Xinyan finished their discussions, it was already evening, and then Wu Xinyan personally arranged a banquet for them to cleanse themselves from the dust. By the time all this was over, it was already late at night.
After all the military attaches said goodbye to Wu Xinyan and left, they all gathered in Liu Manniu's room and began their private discussions.
"Everyone has read Zhao Gechen's secret letter. Taking advantage of this opportunity for the imperial court to crack down on the border troops, we must make the matter as big as possible. The wider the involvement, the better!"
"As long as the senior military attaches in the three major military towns of Guyuan, Ningxia and Gansu are in opposition to us, we will wait for an opportunity to overthrow them! After overthrowing them, there will be a vacancy in the position, and we will have the opportunity to go further and gain greater power.
!”
"But we can't just focus on those positions at the top. The middle and lower-level military attachés in our respective jurisdictions, as long as they are not of the same mind as us, must also take the opportunity to get rid of them, and then replace them with our old brothers from the new army of soldiers!"
"Liang Fuchen was unwilling to participate in the purge of the border troops, and now he is hiding in the Loop. This person is too alert and has never fully believed in our rhetoric. Taking advantage of this person's absence, this is a great opportunity for us to show our fists!
"
"Ha! If we take the opportunity to climb up the high branches of Wu Xinyan and the Royal Horse Supervisor, we can be regarded as fringe figures of the 'Imperial Party' from now on. Even Liang Fuchen will not be able to target us at will in the future. Zhao Gechen will protect and support us brothers from now on.
It can also save you a lot of worry!”
"Wu Xinyan has promised that Huamachi Camp's armor and weapons will be provided to us first. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can also greatly increase the combat effectiveness of our army... During this period, the imperial court has repeatedly purged the three provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu.
Bian, it is obvious that we cannot accommodate Zhao Cabinet Minister, so we must make preparations in advance!"
"Some time ago, when Dongchang was purging local civil servants and private gentry, many people were arrested and their homes were confiscated. Most of them were just speculators, but a few of them were really loyal to Zhao Cabinet. What do you think of us?
Can we take the opportunity to fish them out this time?"
While all the military attaches were discussing, a conspiracy to seize power began, confusing right and wrong.
*
And just as the purges on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu had officially reached their climax and attracted the attention of all parties, a high-profile incident also happened in the southeast of the imperial court.
Moreover, there is still a conspiracy hidden under the truth of the matter.
