Zhu Gui only said this sentence, and Xu Yingxu immediately understood what he meant.
But he understood, but he still couldn't understand Zhu Gui's approach.
Especially with the other party's temper in Nanjing City, how could he do such a thing?
Zhu Gui turned to look at Scar.
"The king can give you the status of Qianhu Cavalry. You will be temporarily under the jurisdiction of the guard station. I will give you three days to clean up the heinous criminals in the Wild Wolf Gang."
Scar immediately lay on the ground and kowtowed and said, "I understand that I will clean up the Wild Wolf Gang immediately after I return, and I must give an explanation to the prince."
He never expected that the young prince would not only let him go, but also give him the official position of Thousand Households.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. I don't have the right to form personal guards yet. You can join me in the future. However, during this period, you continue to act as a horse bandit of the Wild Wolf Gang. I will give you
The task is to annex other gangs in Shanxi."
Zhu Gui finally expressed his thoughts.
If he wanted to revitalize industry and commerce, he would inevitably build bridges and build roads to open up transportation throughout Shanxi.
But these robbers and bandits are always a big hidden danger.
And he can't send troops to garrison along the way, right?
Not to mention that he only has a hundred soldiers now, even after he forms a personal guard, he is not willing to spend money and food on it.
So after learning about the existence of the Wild Wolf Gang, he thought of a method of 'fighting bandits with bandits'.
As for whether the Wild Wolf Gang would be obedient, he wasn't worried at all.
When Scar heard Zhu Gui's plan, he was shocked.
This young prince has a really big appetite, but even if the Wild Wolf Gang is the largest and most powerful gang in Shanxi, it is not strong enough to compete with all other gangs, right?
He expressed this idea authoritatively.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Gui was already prepared for this problem.
"Don't worry, I will provide you with people, money, food and information. You can just lead the troops."
Zhu Gui did not forget the first batch of salt dealers who changed careers. Half of them joined the Chamber of Commerce, but the other half were idle.
Although they later joined the militia and road construction, they were originally selected by Zhu Gui as a personal reserve force.
Now, cramming them into the Wild Wolf Gang bit by bit is equivalent to training soldiers.
So, Xu Yingxu took people to the headquarters of the Wild Wolf Gang, accompanied by the second master who looked like a bitter melon.
Scar, the third master, and the other two hundred horse bandits followed Dai Wang and the others back to Datong Mansion.
Halfway through, those who had come to accompany the hunt dispersed, and only those squires who had colluded with the horse bandits were taken to Datong Mansion.
King Dai took these horse bandits to the place where the soldiers were trained.
As the returning soldiers conducted a new round of shooting training, the horse bandits' eyes widened.
It turns out that the swords in their hands have expired.
"My lord, my lord, can I also get these firearms?"
When Scar saw the flintlock gun in the hands of the soldiers, it was like seeing a peerless beauty.
Zhu Gui was very satisfied when he saw this: "Then it depends on your performance. Remember, the world is very big. Don't just bully your own people. Beyond the Mongolian grasslands, there are countless lands and treasures. There are countless
It will be the land of Ming Dynasty."
"Yes, my subordinates know."
Scar's eyes glowed.
Soon, Scar was put back.
Xu Yingxu also brought back all the treasures that the squires had given to the Wild Wolf Gang, and then led people non-stop to check the properties of those squires who had colluded with the Wild Wolf Gang.
After this incident, Zhu Gui's reputation in Datong Mansion was like a god descending to earth.
Storytellers on the streets wrote various versions of his experience of outsmarting the Wild Wolf Gang and spread them around.
Without the threat of horse bandits, and all the squire families in the seven surrounding counties, they responded to the announcement from the Prince's Palace with good sense.
For a time, new road construction began in full swing in various states and counties.
In addition, Datong Chamber of Commerce branches have been established in various states and counties, and local small and medium-sized businessmen and handicraft workshop owners have also joined.
However, although various places have followed the example of Datong Prefecture and used farmers to build roads, it will still take several years to connect the official roads between prefectures and counties.
This was mainly due to the fact that road construction and transportation were still very backward at this time.
But Zhu Gui had nothing to do about it. Although he improved some tools, they could only be of little use.
To further liberate productivity, a steam engine is needed.
However, the steam engine is a system reward, and he cannot bypass the system and study it alone, so he can only wait until the second year's taxes.
…
When the wave of road construction started in Yunzhou, King Zhu Di of Yan had already received the three-eyed gun.
He studied it for several days and found that this thing was indeed very sophisticated, greatly increasing the power and rate of fire of firearms.
But he hired workers to imitate the three-eyed gun, but something went wrong.
The craftsmen completely dismantled the two three-eye blunderbuss. The structure inside was obviously very simple, but they could not imitate it at all.
When Zhu Di heard this, he was furious.
He thought these craftsmen did it on purpose, so he beheaded all the craftsmen for this reason.
But now that the samples are gone, if you want to continue to get the Three-Eyed Gun, you can only get it from Dai Wang, that is, Zhu Gui.
He could only shamelessly send another envoy.
This time I did not continue to ask for samples, but wanted to customize a batch of one hundred three-eyed guns. The price was 20,000 taels of silver notes and a promise.
When King Yan's envoy came to Prince Dai's Mansion after a long journey, he saw the young prince riding a strange thing in circles in the yard.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and the envoy from King Yan are here."
cried Pearl.
"Ah?" Zhu Gui, who was riding his bicycle, saw the strange man standing at the gate.
"Take him to the side hall."
Zhu Gui said.
"Hey, go meet your guests quickly. King Yan may be in a hurry. It's my turn to ride."
Xu Miaoqing took Zhu Gui's arm and said.
"Hey, you're cheating, okay, don't break it."
Zhu Gui was pulled off the bicycle by Xu Miaoqing and could only give instructions helplessly.
Xu Miaoqing ignored her, and even took Zhuer into the car. The sound of play spread throughout the palace.
When Zhu Gui came to the side hall, the envoy of King Yan immediately saluted.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from Prince Yan."
After seeing it, Zhu Gui asked: "A hundred three-eyed blunderbuss?"
The envoys and Butler Wang on the side did not dare to speak.
"Let's do this. You take the money back and tell King Yan that a promise is enough. After one month, someone will be sent to pick it up."
Zhu Gui thought for a moment and agreed.
Although these one hundred three-eyed blunderbuss can play a role in a battle, they cannot influence a war.
Not to mention that Zhu Di was the winner of the Battle of Jingnan.
And what Zhu Gui valued was the promise mentioned by the other party.
