Chapter 859 Invite Cai into the urn 6
"Shuai Si, this is a letter sent by Master Zhang Da entrusted someone to."
In the Jiehe Shang Municipal Office, Wu Haogu suddenly stood up from behind the case, rushed over and took an envelope without any signature from Lin Chong, the owner of Jiehe Shang City's secret hall. Under the case, Brother Zhao Zhong and Ma Zheng looked at each other. They were all here to report to Wu Haogu about the progress of the Taoist protection group (mercenaries) under the practice of the Great Education and Cultivation Group. Seeing Wu Haogu's anxious look, Brother Zhao Zhong smiled faintly, but Ma Zheng frowned slightly.
As Wu Haogu's confidant subordinates, who did not understand Wu Haogu's current situation? His power has now been developed. Jiehe Commercial City, Yuntai Academy, Doctoral Order, Empirical School, Coastal Market and other commercial companies. The combined strength of the whole world was enough to make him a giant in the political arena of the Song Dynasty. But while becoming stronger, Wu Haogu also created an invincible enemy of the world! This is not one or two official cliques, but eight or nine out of ten scholars in the world.
Even Su Che, another confidant of Wu Haogu, has now stood opposite to the empirical school. His father opposed the empirical school, which does not mean that his son would also oppose it. In terms of the school, the Su family has always been very open-minded...
How to maintain Wu Haogu's huge foundation is a headache to think about.
However, Wu Haogu has always been very calm, and even threw the upcoming storm aside, and started to organize a large education and storm, prompting Japan to find the founding of the country and the visit to the Great Food and Relations mission. He did not take Cai Jing's hostile attitude at all. Seeing Wu Haogu's calm momentum, his subordinates felt a little relieved.
But everyone is in a position to be able to get rid of the current predicament.
Wu Haogu took the letter and hurriedly opened it. After reading it at a glance, he felt relieved.
As expected by him (it should be Zhang Dun), Cai Jing still fell into a trap. Of course, this was also the trap set too perfectly. With Cai Jing's current status and situation, who can't refuse Cai Jing's reliance on being a Zuo Pushe by being able to do things? Zhao Ji used him a lot, wasn't he just asking him to do things? And the most important thing now is military reform?
Now Cai Jing has swallowed the "poison pill". If he still takes advantage of the opportunity of the imperial examination competition to write a letter to the public, then Wu Haogu can use a brief trick to poison Cai Jing and send him to Haizhou for retirement.
However, poisoning Cai Jing does not mean peace in the world. It won’t take long before a new "Confucian diehards" emerge to be enemies of themselves... Who has opened the magic box of rationalism and positivism?
But since the magic box has been opened, it is impossible to close again!
He looked calm and took off Zhang Yuan's letter, then said to Lin Chong: "Teacher Lin, please sit for a while."
"Here."
Lin Chong responded, then stepped aside, found a chair and sat down and waited quietly.
Wu Haogu continued to discuss the organization of the Taoist protection regiment with Zhao Zhongge and Ma Zheng. The Taoist protection regiment seemed to be a miscellaneous army, composed of monk soldiers, Taoist soldiers and Confucian doctoral organizations, and the main members were temporarily hired. However, Wu Haogu's doctoral organization had the ability to provide it with a core officer regiment and quite excellent equipment, thus building it into an elite combat-ready force.
Through this dispatch of troops, Wu Haogu also hopes to explore a "commercialized army" organization model of officers and mercenaries, turning professionalism and high-level management into the core combat effectiveness of the army. In his opinion, the main reason for the decline of the Northern Song Dynasty imperial guards was not to emphasize culture over military affairs, but to extremely chaotic management, inefficient and unprofessional management.
In fact, the same problem does not only exist in the army. The situation in other aspects of the Northern Song Dynasty court is similar. Water conservancy projects can play the three Yi of the Yellow River, destroying countless fertile land. The official property rental in Kaifeng Prefecture is at the point where no one asks about the large number of houses collapsed. The horse-raising group herds department is even more a joke. Raising a horse actually requires one or two hundred acres of land, and it costs another two or three hundred yuan... And after raising it, it is impossible to raise a few qualified war horses, and in the end it is also blamed for the bad land in the Central Plains! Now the "good" land of the Hetao grassland has been obtained, let's see what good horses the group herds supervisor can raise!
...
"Teacher Lin, I want to ask you to go to Kaifeng Mansion!"
The conversation with Brother Zhao Zhong and Ma Zheng has ended, and now it is time to conspire behind closed doors!
In the large study of Wu Haogu No, only Wu Haogu and Lin Chong were left. Lin Chong has been following Wu Haogu for many years, but it has not been very useful. He has always been a guardian of the house, but his advantage is reliability. So after Wu Haogu returned to Jiehe Commercial City, he handed over the secret hall that Ximen Qing formed to Lin Chong to preside over.
Because Lin Chong was a "police leader" for several years and presided over the police patrol school, he was a bit of a basic job in spies. So after taking over the secret hall, he did a good job and did not make any big mistakes. Of course, he did not encounter any major tests.
This time, it was a huge test of Lin Chong's ability.
"Don't worry, Shuai Si, my subordinates will definitely do their job." Lin Chong patted his chest and took care of Wu Haogu.
"Who is in charge of the hall of Kaifeng Prefecture now?" Wu Haogu was still a little worried.
"It's Liu Ergou."
Liu Ergou was also an old minister who had followed Wu Haogu for many years. Last year, he was sent back to Kaifeng Prefecture by Ximen Qing, and took over the sale of the northern wazi in the state of Zhou as a cover and established the Kaifeng Prefecture entrance of Jiehe Unknown Hall.
"Where is the Biyong Academy?" Wu Haogu asked. "Is there anyone in it?"
"Yes!" Lin Chong replied, "Chen Xingguo is a military professor in Biyong Academy."
Chen Xingguo's "Xingguo" is a font. His name is Jian. He is a Confucian scholar in Tanzhou, South Road, Jinghu. He is said to be a Confucian scholar. In fact, Confucian scholars are really not very good at learning Confucianism, but he is a good player. He traveled around the world with some martial arts skills. When he arrived in Haizhou, he happened to meet the opening of Yuntai Academy. So he went to register on a whim. He was admitted because of his good sticks and became a doctoral student in the first phase. After graduating from the doctoral degree, he was sent to the Knights Academy to study military studies for two years. Last year, he was sent to the Biyong Academy as a military professor. The military studies of the Biyong Academy was much simpler than that of the Knights Academy professor, but it also belongs to the empirical system, so he had to teach students from the Knights Academy graduates to the Yuntai Academy.
Wu Haogu thought about it and asked again: "Xingguo is also a member of the Unknown Hall?"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the affirmative reply, Wu Haogu nodded and asked again: "Who else can be of great use?"
Lin Chong lowered his voice: "Yan Xixi is also ours!"
"Oh!" Wu Haogu raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile, "Not bad! It's really useful..."
"There are still a few down-and-out military officers," Lin Chong said again, "We have our people in the horse and scramblers... Although the horse and scramblers cannot fight, they are still very good at causing trouble. In addition, we have our people in the warriors."
"Okay!" Wu Haogu finally laughed and nodded with satisfaction, "Teacher Lin, then I wish you success!"
...
When Lin Chong arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture in a hurry, the two brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian, who had not yet known that they had fallen into the trap, and Zhong Fu, who were preparing to join the army, were placing wine in Yan Xixi's small building, and invited several military professors from the Piyong Academy for dinner. These military professors were all military officers, and they were not high-ranking officials, but were all sesame officials of the ninth rank.
For such an official position, not to mention the prime minister’s invitation to dinner, he would not have the qualifications to give gifts to the prime minister’s mansion.
But the situation is different now. The two brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian are preparing to build quick martial arts. The textbooks commonly known as martial arts were of course copied from the Knights Academy in Yuntai Academy. But the problem is that the three books "Infantry Science", "Cabinet Science" and "Tactic Theory" are just as great knowledge as Cai Jing and Cai Bian, which actually look like a book of heaven. After classifying the punctuation marks and the numbers in the Indian books, Cai Jing and Cai Bian all knew each character in the three books.
But when I looked together, I didn’t know what I was saying? I couldn’t understand it at all! Zhong Fu could understand it, at least the general meaning he understood that he emphasized the strictness of the formation and the reliance on charge to achieve results. However, how to achieve strictness of the formation and how to organize the charge of the gun array and heavy cavalry, Zhong Fu still didn’t understand...
So if the three of you have a plan, don’t think about it yourself. Just find someone who knows it and ask!
The experts who understand knowledge were quite independent when Su Dongpo was alive in the Biyong Academy under the charge of Cai Bian. However, after Cai Bian became the priest of the Imperial College, the Biyong Academy became an official school directly under the Imperial College, and its autonomy was completely lost. However, this facilitated Cai Bian to mobilize talents in the Biyong Academy. Among them, several military professors led by Chen Jian were the talents that Cai Jing and Cai Bian valued the most.
Therefore, they didn't care about the prime minister's honor, and did not care about the rude and nobles. They took the attitude of treating wise men and women, and invited Chen Jian and others to Xixilou for dinner. This is the most expensive "club" in Kaifeng Prefecture today, no doubt about it!
"My husband, do you think you want us to support the quick-achieving martial arts?"
"My husband, this matter..."
After three rounds of drinking, several military professors who were like in the clouds and mist finally knew the purpose of Cai Jing and Cai Bian. Several professors were not drunk yet, so they all had the urge to turn around and run away.
