Chapter 242 Talent
Han Luzhou pulled Xin Qiji to Han Zhongwei's Zhongfu's Zhongfu as soon as the sky was dark. Han Zhongwei had returned to Lin'an today. After returning, he asked someone to bring a message to them and asked them to meet at Zhongfu in the evening to discuss important matters...
"Master Han, I don't know what is important to discuss with us?" Xin Qiji asked impatiently as soon as he arrived at the secret room behind Zhong Mansion.
"How could I know? He returned to the capital, and I just knew it." Han Luzhou was also confused. Nothing happened on Chengdu recently. Did the six thousand horses be intercepted? If that were the case, he would have received the letter long ago. Han Zhongwei would not have come to see him until the evening. He might have rushed to the Privy Council to raise an army to question him.
"Father, Brother Xin."
While they were talking, Han Zhongwei walked in with a smile.
"Wei'er"
"Brother Han"
"I just had a meal with my mother, and it's too late."
"You forgot your dad when you have your own mother. Tell me, what's the point of summoning us?" Han Luzhou cursed with a smile.
"Of course there are important things. I've been busy with the Xixia affairs during this period and I haven't had time to communicate with you."
"Xixia? Do you think you are involved in the Xixia incident?" Xin Qiji suddenly shouted in shock. There was a big shocking event in Xixia during this period. The emperor was driven down alive and the whole world was alarmed. Even he, the prefect of Lin'an, knew very well about this matter. But he never expected that this matter would be related to Han Zhongwei. Since this matter was related to him, he must be a participant.
"Of course, I came because of this incident." Han Zhongwei smiled.
"Wei'er, have you really participated in the Western Xia coup? But you have been on Chengdu Road for a while." Han Tuozhou was also shocked, but soon he recalled that Han Zhongwei might have lied to him, right?
"Although I am on Chengdu Road, I have made great contributions to the throne of Li An. You don't need to doubt it. Actually, this is the case..."
As Han Zhongwei talked in a casual manner, Han Luzhou and Xin Qiji's mouths were slowly opening up without realizing them. In the end, they could completely stuff an egg, and their eyes were even more glaring at the same time as the bull's eyes...
"That's how it is. I'm here to ask you to introduce me more talents to help me manage the six states that belong to me." Han Zhongwei finally told them the whole story.
The Marquis, the Guards, the Emperor's Guards, the Capital Garrison, the Emperor's Edict, mines, grenades... It was the first time they heard so many things. It was not until Han Zhongwei finished speaking that they came to their senses after a long time.
"Wei'er, what you said is true, right?" Han Luzhou looked at Han Zhongwei with a very complicated look. He used to think that his son was good at making money, but now it seems that he seriously underestimated his ability. He was not making money, he was simply robbing money. The landmine was only a few cents, but he sold it to the Jin Kingdom for 30 cents, and people had to beg him to sell it, otherwise it would be priceless and the Emperor of Xixia even pushed the throne. If he said this, who would believe it?
Even they were half-believing and half-doubted at the beginning. Seeing Han Zhongwei saying so confidently, and what he said was so seamless, and the things that did happen, they would finally be convinced.
"My God, so to put it, you have the final say in the six states in the north of Xixia, including the military, government and civilians?" Xin Qiji finally came to his senses. It turned out that he felt that Han Zhongwei was not a thing in the pool, but he never thought that once he turned into a dragon, he would be like a dragon roar.
"Of course, there is nothing to manage the place, mainly the army. The Heishan Military Supervisory Office and the Xiping Lin Military Office have a total of 150,000 troops. It is not enough to rely on my little people alone, especially the commander. I hope that there are trustworthy and capable generals to help me. In addition, my first general in the central army on Chengdu Road, as long as they can become qualified cavalry, I think I will bring them all to Xixia and let them serve as low-level generals. In this way, the 150,000 troops can really belong to me after a year or two." Han Zhongwei said.
"It seems that I am Lao Luo, Wei'er. You changed your name and became Kehou silently in Xixia. There are thousands of troops and a fief of a state under your command. Now I have controlled six states in the northern part of Xixia, nearly 200,000 troops. If you say this, I'm afraid few people will believe it." Han Luzhou sighed. His son would really surprise him.
"Brother Han, I remember that the reason why the official ascended the throne early was because you made great efforts behind the scenes. Now the Emperor of Xixia is the one who pushed the throne with one hand. It won't be the Emperor of Jin next time, right?" Xin Qiji said jokingly.
"Wei'er, you won't really want to change the emperor of the Jin Kingdom again, right?" Han Luzhou was also shocked. Now he fully believed that with Han Zhongwei's ability, he could definitely control the alternation of the Jin Kingdom emperors.
"Father, Brother Xin, do you think I am a god?" Han Zhongwei couldn't help laughing and crying. Although the Jin Kingdom also had a certain influence, it was not as big as the emperor's throne. If that were the case, wouldn't the whole world fall into his hands?
"Brother Han, are you going to Xixia in person this time?" Xin Qiji then thought that Han Zhongwei would call him here, probably because he heard him tell him about his legendary path.
"Yes, in addition to going to Xixia myself, I also want to take away all the qualified cavalry of my first general of the Central Army and let them serve as middle and low-level generals. In addition, I also need a few outstanding generals. I wonder if you have any good recommendations?" Han Zhongwei asked, these people could not see the light when they went to Xixia, and even had to change their names when they arrived in Xixia, so they secretly called them.
"There is no problem for you to take away all the first generals, but outstanding generals are hard to come by. Even if there are, they are all in the court. How can they leave with you at will?" Han Luzhou frowned, making it impossible to leave the first general. As long as he made it clear to Zhao Yanyu and believed that he would cooperate, there is no need to disturb the court. But it is not so easy to find talented people. As he said, it is hard to come by.
"Brother Xin, if you don't speak, are there any suitable people to recommend to me?" Han Zhongwei also knew that it was very difficult to find an outstanding general at once, but Xin Qiji himself was a military general and a literary leader. In addition, he made friends all over the world, maybe there was someone who was suitable for him.
"I really have such a person. Although he is young, he will definitely be a good general in the future." Xin Qiji was very surprised by Han Zhongwei's sensitivity. He just recalled in his mind whether there was someone suitable for him, but Han Zhongwei said it in his words.
"Sir Xin, I wonder which talent you are talking about?" Han Tuozhou also asked intriguedly.
"Du Gao, son of Du Ying, a prison in Jiangxi Province," Xin Qiji said lightly.
"Du Gao, son of Du Ying, Jiangxi Trinity Criminal Prison, I have heard of this person. At first, he was arranged to work in Haimen Salt Field. Before he took office, he was summoned by Chen Pengshou, a Fujian Trinity Criminal Prison, to act as an agent. He was later hired by Li Jue as an aide by Jiangtan Commander. Now he should still be an aide with Li Jue. This person is said to be both civil and military, and is a rare talent." Han Fuzhou is very familiar with officials in the court. Although he is not a Minister of Personnel, his power is much greater than that of the Minister of Personnel, and his familiarity with officials is even better than that of the people of the Ministry of Personnel.
"Yes, it's him. Although he may not be very competent to command an army of more than 100,000 at the same time, but as long as he is given a while, I believe he will be your good helper." Xin Qiji said very confidently, and it seems that he is also very good at reading Du Gao.
"Okay, as long as I have the ability, I will definitely give him a chance to show his ambitions." Han Zhongwei raised his eyebrows and showed joy. Since Du Gao was able to get Xin Qiji's strong recommendation, he must have his outstanding talents.
"He is someone else's aide now. If you want him to help you, you have to ask Lord Han to come forward." Xin Qiji said with a smile.
"It's no problem. I still have some friendship with Li Jue, the commander of the Jianghuai Controller. As long as I speak, I believe he will not refuse." Han Luzhou smiled. He felt that he could finally help Han Zhongwei, and he was very happy for some reason. You must know that he could not do anything Han Zhongwei did now. He could not do anything. After hearing Han Zhongwei's statement just now, he admired his son for coming. Now he was very honored to be able to help him.
"Brother Han, it would be great if you didn't recommend me to be the prefect of Lin'an." Xin Qiji suddenly felt very moved. He was devoted to serving the country, but now he could only do something within his ability. Now Han Zhongwei is ahead of him. His goal is very clear. Xixia will definitely have an impact on the future Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty. Now he can take advantage of Li An's position and extend his hand to Xixia, and hold Xixia firmly in his hands in the near future. I don't know how much important impact it will have on the future Northern Expedition.
"Mr. Xin, isn't it the same for you to help me in Lin'an?" Han Tuozhou actually didn't have the same idea as him, but his position was more sensitive. To realize Han Zhongwei's strategy of being a long-term and incomparable, he had to stay in this position, and even had to go to a higher position.
"Yes, we are all in control. Brother Han, after the negotiation, can you go out to have a drink first? The Dake wine here is famous all over the world, and I have wanted to drink it long ago." Xin Qiji quickly adjusted his mentality. As long as he contributed to the Northern Expedition, why bother caring about whether he was fighting on the front line or assisting in the rear?
"You can come to my place to get wine at any time. There is actually another thing to go back to the capital this time..." After the main talk, Han Zhongwei talked about his private affairs.
"What else is there? You are so capable now. You need money. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the richest man in the world. You need power. Apart from the official family, there is no more powerful person in the world than you. If you want people, your army will have more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops. What else can we help you?" Xin Qiji was very pleased to help Han Zhongwei solve the problem and couldn't help but teasing.
"You can definitely help with this matter. I want to get married as soon as possible..."
"You want to get married? This is a good thing, but I can't help you with this." Xin Qiji was very funny when he saw Han Zhongwei blushing.
"Wei'er, a good man is determined by all sides. If you didn't like getting married before, why are you in a hurry to do this now?" Han Fuzhou didn't know that Han Zhongwei had already climbed onto Zhao Yuting's bed. He was unable to stop the taste of it, both Han Zhongwei and Zhao Yuting, of course, they flew together and spent a good night together every day.
"Hehe, it's purely personal reasons, purely personal reasons." How could Han Zhongwei say the reason? Although he is from modern times, he can't say such words no matter what.
"Men are married when they are old, and women are married when they are old. Your status is extraordinary now. It is also appropriate to get married early and have children." Han Luzhou nodded slowly. Although he seemed to be extremely powerful, he was much inferior to the achievements made by Han Zhongwei. Since Han Zhongwei wanted to get married, he had no reason to stop him.
"It's up to my father to do everything." Han Zhongwei stood up and bowed to Han Ruzhou, and said respectfully.
With Han Zhongwei's strong financial resources as a support, his wedding was held grandly and low-key. Although his wedding was held in Lin'an, the first general of the Chengdu Road Central Army, the Emperor's Guards, the Capital Garrison, the Black City Guards and the people of the entire Black City all indirectly participated in his wedding.
All the soldiers of the first general of the Chengdu Road Central Army rested for a day on the day of Han Zhongwei's wedding, and the food was extremely abundant that day. They could eat as long as they could find it on the market. And everyone got a very thick red envelope that day, which was equivalent to their usual two months of Fenglu. From Song Zimin, Sun Shupei to the ordinary soldiers below, they were indescribable to be happy. Of course, some people were just for the sake of food and food, while Sun Shupei, Niu Dali and others were sincerely happy for Han Zhongwei.
The treatment of the Emperor Guards of Xixia, the capital garrisons and the people and escorts of Heicheng City were similar to those of the first general of the central army. They were also like the first general. Many of them were sincerely happy for Han Zhongwei, while some of them were only happy to be able to rest and have food and take.
After Han Zhongwei got married, Du Gao, introduced by Xin Qiji, finally arrived in Lin'an with Han Luzhou's efforts. Du Gao looked about twenty-five and sixty years old and looked handsome. After Han Zhongwei met him, he talked about the military affairs, but he didn't expect that Du Gao was really familiar with military arts and was very familiar with the affairs in the military. Moreover, this person did not study hard, and had his own unique insights into military arts and battle formations. If Han Zhongwei had not had the experience of later generations as a support, he would have been impressed by him.
But even so, Han Zhongwei was very satisfied with him. In Han Zhongwei's opinion, Du Gao was definitely no less than Bi Zaihui's good general. Han Zhongwei had a deep understanding of Bi Zaihui's ability, and being able to compare with him was his own luck.
"Brother Du, you have almost understood the situation in Xixia. I wonder if you are interested in going to Xixia with me to do something?" Han Zhongwei chatted with Du Gao for a few hours, and had long been called a brother. Han Zhongwei did not hide anything from Du Gao, and said that he opened a Dake Cement Factory in Xixia under the name of "Zhong Wei". Until recently, Li Ann was promoted to the throne, and even the identity of a bandit in Heifeng Village was not hidden. Han Zhongwei has always felt that the best way to make others trust him is to treat him with sincerity.
"Brother Han, even if you don't say it, I will ask you to take me to Xixia to start a career. You have six states and more than 100,000 troops there. I feel excited to think about it." Du Gao was eager to try it when Han Zhongwei introduced his situation in Xixia. At most, he had only a dozen subordinates in the Song State. He learned so many military tactics but had never used any land. It's a pity to think about it. Now that he has such an excellent opportunity, it would be strange if he can't move. This is like a martial arts master who sees an invincible secret book, or a hungry ghost who has taken off all his clothes and is standing in front of him and lets him ravage it. This is like this, even if Han Zhongwei doesn't speak, he will follow him to Xixia with a silly face.
"Okay, since you are very interested, I have to test you first. If you are asked to lead the troops, how many soldiers will you lead? In addition, what methods do you have to use to curb the Dangxiang people in Xixia? Of course, the premise is not only to retain their existing combat power, but also to improve their combat power. My requirements are not high, and I can be invincible with the Mongols two-on-one." Han Zhongwei knew that no matter who it was, he would be excited to know that he could lead a team of hundreds of thousands at once. Du Gao is very good at talking about military affairs on paper, but he just doesn't know how practical he is.
"If you want to ask how many soldiers I can lead, Han Xin of the Han Dynasty has already answered for me. The more the more, the better. As for how to use it to subdue those Dangxiang people, I am now in Lin'an and cannot answer you for the time being. But I believe that as long as three months are shorter than one month, all the troops will be loyal to you and have no other intentions. To improve their combat effectiveness, it is a long-term process, and I can't tell you for the time being." Du Gao thought about it before saying slowly.
"Okay, very good. You can go to Xixia with me. I decided to let you be the commander of the Hei Shui Linjun Office and the Xiping Linjun Office." Han Zhongwei said. If Du Gao took over the big bag, he might be hesitant. Now Du Gao's words are summed up in one sentence. Without investigation, there is no right to speak. Han Zhongwei was very pleased with his attitude, and Xin Qiji did not introduce the wrong person.
Less than half a month after Han Zhongwei got married, he set off for Xixia. This time, in addition to the 100 guards around him, there was also one more Du Gao. Now almost all of Han Zhongwei's important subordinates are in Zhongxing Prefecture, and Han Zhongwei is also preparing to go to Zhongxing Prefecture first. First, congratulate Li An, second, introduce Du Gao to his subordinates, and third, of course, ask Li An for his own things.
After Han Zhongwei's letter was in Wanyan Xun's hands, Wanyan Xun realized that Han Zhongwei might have had a plan, but what else could he do? He had already dug a pit. If he wanted to buy landmines and grenades from him in the future, then just fulfill his promise. Therefore, even if Wanyan Jing disliked Li An again, the edicts could only be quickly sent to Zhongxing Prefecture. As soon as Wanyan Jing's edict arrived, Li An truly became the Emperor of Xixia.
