After quitting Li Congye, Li Gui found Zhang Shixiong's residence, where unexpectedly, a group of young officers gathered there.

Many people have experienced the scene just now, and some have come after hearing the news. The highest position of officer is the 100th General Officer or the 100th General Officer, and more are the squad leader or the squad leader.

"Shixiong, you did the right thing." A captain named Ma Wu raised his arms and said, "What's wrong with the group of people above? Who wasn't pulled out by the adults? I, Ma Wu, aren't afraid of you laughing. I was just a guy, and I couldn't get enough to get up early and have a full meal. If it weren't for the adults, would I have today?"

"So too. I was originally following Lahu. If it weren't for the adults, I would have been killed by the shackles."

"I am a miner. If I weren't an adult, I would be drilling in the mine now."

The crowd was angry, and Li Gui was not easy to say anything. At this time, Zhang Shixiong waved his hand and said, "The people above are all suffering like us. Even if they make a decision and don't send troops for a while, they are not in a hurry, nor are they unfaithful. They talk one by one, and we will understand this layer first."

This is reasonable. These young officers didn't have these when they shouted. Some people thought by chance that after Zhang Shixiong, this kind of thought that he shouldn't have was thrown out of the sky.

"But there are two things to say..." Zhang Shixiong continued: "The people above, the officers are not there, either the tiger, the porter, the miner, the military household, or the guys we are recruited by the adults, the first-class beggars, they all receive great kindness. I, Zhang Shixiong, say here, if there is any accident, I will definitely not save my life in the world. I will serve as a soldier and eat food. This is the adult's opinion. If I, a soldier, ask me to have any accident, what face will I have to live in the world?"

Zhang Shixiong's words were not loud or intense, but no one doubted his determination.

Li Gui was originally here to calm everyone's anger, but he was not good at speaking because everyone's face showed a look of agreement. Even if Li Gui himself... the only one who died in the ages was in trouble, he asked himself, everything was obtained from that adult, and there was no need to mention the deep feelings. That kind of admiration and respect were also engraved in his bones. Even if he could not express his opinion like Zhang Shixiong, he would repay him with death, but this heart was in his heart︾%︾%︾%︾%, mco≌m.

"I mean..." Zhang Shixiong said seriously: "We are not very keen and do not talk about things in the army. Those scholars, the officials, scholars, and scholars, usually look good with adults, and are like friends. But what do you think in your heart? Who can dare to protect them?"

Zhang Shixiong's words were not over, and everyone was already shocked!

Zhang Shixiong's words were nothing more than Sun Jingting and Li Shenming, Li Dongxue and others, who were also from friends, were not from outsiders, nor were scholars. Unlike Sun, Li also had extensive connections outside.

Sun Jingting has the Dongshan Association and Lingqiu Chamber of Commerce as supporters, and Sun Yao, Li Shouxin and others from the mining lineage may also support him. Li Shenming has the support of various chambers of commerce. He is good at dancing and has good relationships with chambers of commerce in various places. He lacks connections in the military, but there are deep roots in the business and chambers of commerce. Moreover, external contacts have always been Li Shenming. Yes, under Zhang Han, the people outside only recognize Li Shenming!

What if those two people had the idea of ​​"a real man can replace him"?

Zhang Han's foundation is mainly private property. In fact, it is now a large group with standard military, government and business. It is no exaggeration to say that the tens of thousands of soldiers who are worthy of Datong Town are not opponents of He Yusheng at all. Unless it is Yansui Town and Xuanfu Town in Taiyuan Town, the forces of the four towns can join forces to have a head-on showdown with He Yusheng, and the outcome is unpredictable.

But this is only under the current situation. In the second year of the Tianqi period, the expansion of war soldiers was limited, and cavalry, artillery, and officer preparation were all top priority. By the third year of the Tianqi period, the finance and manpower had all recovered. At that time, it was time to expand the army greatly. What scale was the scale? Now, no one except Zhang Han was sure to be clear. However, the people below discussed privately that they would probably expand to about six to eight battalions, which was between 24,000 and 26,000!

At that time, the entire battalion of artillery, the entire battalion or even the two battalions of cavalry, and think about how powerful this army will be!

Of course, if it really reaches that point, the business group, the Civil Affairs General Group, the escort, and the escorts of the escorts, may not be concealed. Local officials who are a little wise and vigilant will feel that something is wrong, but everyone is also confident that as long as Zhang Han handles cleverly, this matter will not be a great thing after all.

Besides, if you take a step back, there are really tens of thousands of combat soldiers. If you cooperate with 50,000 or 60,000 baggage soldiers, you won’t be the opponent of the four towns. Even if you cross Zijing Pass and attack the capital all the way, isn’t it impossible?

This idea was called delusion two or three years ago, but now it is a "consensus". In the ideas of many people, Zhang Han has the ability to expand his territory thousands of miles outside the border, and of course he also has the ability to make a big fuss within the Ming Dynasty. What kind of governor or inspector? If he really makes a fuss, what about the emperor?

In private words of Ma Wu and others, "We adults just think that our ancestors have received the kindness of the Ming Dynasty. Now the emperor has not lost his morality. The emperor is still in his prime. Children, how are we going to be bullied? If others don't mess with us, we will do our own things. If someone dares to mess with those messy things, good people don't learn, and learn from the dead man Han Qi, I'm afraid Han Qi will end up better than him!"

Of course, these words are rare nonsense after drinking, but they only show their true nature. At least among the twenty-year-old officer gangs cultivated by Zhang Han, Ma Wu's words are actually a mainstream opinion.

Young people were originally rebellious and difficult to tame, not to mention that these young people were martial soldiers. The political atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was generally very relaxed, and these officers talked in the military camps behind closed doors, and even officers like Li Gui, who had a more moderate and peaceful personality, often heard these words, and they were filled with ears.

"Anyway," said Zhang Shixiong: "The foundation of our adults, whether it is private property or the current part, must not fall into the hands of outsiders. First, we must protect our adults' safety, and then eliminate the ambitions of others. This responsibility cannot be borne by others. Those who have received deep grace cannot retreat!"

"How can I get rid of it?" Ma Wu said: "The only thing that is Shixiong's leader is to follow."

Others were heading, and Zhang Shixiong said, "How can I be qualified? I am just an advocate. Everyone discusses things together, and everyone is equal."

Li Gui looked slightly. Zhang Shixiong didn't give him a good impression just now. He felt ambitious and had the feeling of causing trouble in chaos. Now it seems that he is really passionate and full of loyalty.

Since he thought so, Li Gui interrupted: "Everyone has good hearts, but there must be no abnormal movement now. Once there is chaos within, it will give Beilu an opportunity to take advantage of..."

Of course, this was not very suitable for everyone, but even Zhang Shixiong was exhausted.

...

When the news reached Xinghe Fort, Li Shenming, Liang Xing, Yang Sisun, Duoer and others happened to convene a military discussion, so the people gathered very much. After everyone received the news, Duoer was the first to say: "When can we send troops?"

Li Shenming and Liang Xing looked at each other, and of course they were full of anxiety in their eyes. Liang Xing shook his head gently and said, "The enemy situation is unknown. Just knowing how many soldiers and horses were surrounded by Jining Fortress, how many soldiers, armored soldiers, herdsmen, how many logistics capabilities are, where the main force is, and who is leading the troops. I don't know these situations. If you decide to send troops rashly, there will only be bad results. So what I mean is that I won't send troops for the time being, wait for further news, and communicate with Heihe River to see what Mr. Sun is."

Yang Sisun pondered for a while and said, "Before being trapped, lord issued a military order in Jining Fort. Mr. Sun and Mr. Li will engage in all major military and political affairs on the grassland. Any decision will be decided by the two gentlemen. Whether to send troops today depends on the decision of Sun and Mr. Li."

Li Shenming pointed slightly. Xinghe Fort is mostly mature generals, and most of them are from Liang Xing. It is easy to balance it by themselves. Liang Xing is mature and steady and not impulsive. However, when Sun Jingting has many generals and officers who are not allowed to take over at night, they are afraid that they have habits of border troops. Once Sun Jingting cannot suppress the situation, the situation may be greatly damaged.

Li Shenming did not have this kind of worry, but just followed Liang Xing's words, which made him immediately send more detectives to ride Tangma to Jiningbao area to inquire about the news, and at the same time sent Tangma to contact Sun Jingting.

As for Li Zhuang, Li Shenming maintained a considerable understanding like Sun Jingting... At this time, there is no need to know Li Zhuang and Xinpingbao, and it is just a mess.

"The business road has been maintained recently..." Since we will not send troops for the time being, although everyone is upset, they still have to continue the agenda.

Duoer is responsible for business affairs. He frowned and said, "The main forces of the Northern Lu are all in the west. Go east to the inner Khalkha tribes and make friends with us. The Korqin tribes form an alliance with the Eastern Lu, so they will naturally contribute. There is no problem with the East Road. The weather is warm and summer is already in the beginning of summer. The food shortages everywhere have been alleviated a lot. The Donglu are not very short of food. Now their purchases have decreased. The food they buy is no longer the main goods, but the main ones are cloth, groceries, vegetables, etc. Our convoy has cut a lot. Fortunately, the cloth is large and there are still a lot of profits. Recently, what makes people think is strange is the trend of Xuanfu Town."

Li Shenming was moved and said: "Is there any abnormal activities of the Beilu outside Xuanfu Town?"—

I got drunk yesterday, and I sent two chapters to make up for it in the morning. Everyone voted for it. I got a headache when I got up with a hangover.
Chapter completed!
