This arrangement is quite beneficial to Emperor Wanli, because Jin Yiwei is now Zhang Juzheng's Jin Yiwei and does not listen to his manipulation at all! Whatever news Jin Yiwei got, he had to put it on Zhang Juzheng's desk first, and then hand it over to Emperor Wanli after he had read it, completely ignoring him as the emperor!
Therefore, he hoped that after Liu Haojia took over, he could restore Jinyiwei to a true army of the emperor, so that he would have more power in his hands. Moreover, he had promised Liu Haojia when he left Beijing a few years ago that he would bring him back sooner or later. Now that Liu Haojia is full-fledged, it is time to fulfill his promise!
As for Liu Haojia, he is naturally happy! The position of commander Tongzhi can be said to be of high authority and great power! In this position, not only does his self-protection ability increase, but it is also more conducive to watching him flex his muscles! So without saying a word, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed in thanks!
Emperor Wanli walked around the desk and helped Liu Haojia up with his own hands, and said at the same time: "I know Aiqing's loyalty! That's why I put you in this position, hoping that Aiqing can bring Jin Yiwei back to me!"
Liu Haojia immediately said loudly: "Long live my lord, don't worry, I will control Jin Yiwei as soon as possible and let him become a true royal eagle dog!"
Emperor Wanli was naturally happy to hear Liu Haojia's statement! He believed that with Liu Haojia's ability, he would be able to control Jin Yiwei sooner or later! When the time comes, he will have Jinyiwei on his left and Dongchang on his right, and there will be a lot of room for maneuver! At least he could speak louder when talking to Zhang Juzheng!
At this time, Emperor Wanli let go of Liu Haojia's hand and paced on the ground, thinking, "This time Aiqing returns to the capital, the first thing you need to do is to unify the Jinyi Guards! I am extremely disappointed with Liu Shouyou! You are such a dignified martial artist. Xun actually bows at the feet of a civil official and has no respect for the royal family! It’s just that I can’t replace him for a while, so I have to humiliate my beloved and submit to him!”
Liu Haojia immediately handed over his hand and said: "Long live my lord, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to firmly control Jinyiwei! It's just that Liu Shou has been operating in Jinyiwei for many years, and it will probably take a long time to achieve results!"
Emperor Wanli waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this, Aiqing. Anyway, it's been many years since Jin Yiwei lost control, so it won't be long! But there is still one thing that Aiqing needs to do!"
Liu Haojia immediately cheered up and said, "Please give me your instructions!"
Emperor Wanli frowned and said, "There are only a thousand or so Wu'an troops in the city now, which is really too few! You have to find a way to expand more!"
Liu Haojia and Zhang Jia frowned when they heard this! Because the forces in the capital city are now in a fairly balanced situation. Only a few thousand Wu'an soldiers entered the capital in the name of tax protection. This has already aroused the vigilance of both civil servants and nobles!
It's just that they saw that the number of people was too small and it was accepted by both parties! If the Wu'an Army increases its troops again, it may disturb the fragile balance and cause reactions from both sides! By then the pressure on Liu Haojia will become extremely huge!
Emperor Wanli naturally thought of this. He smiled apologetically at Liu Haojia and said, "I know this matter is very difficult to handle, but the only people in this city that I can really trust are the more than a thousand people from the Wu'an Army! They are the Royal Horse Supervisors. I don’t dare to worry about the tens of thousands of people!”
Wanlidi is right about this. Although Yumajian's Pure Army is said to have tens of thousands of soldiers, in fact there are very few truly well-trained soldiers. Most of the Pure Army soldiers are actually recruited by various The boss here is using him as a slave! Moreover, most of the people who control them are Feng Bao's cronies, which makes Emperor Wanli even more troublesome!
When Liu Haojia heard Emperor Wanli's request, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Long live my lord, you really think too highly of me! It's really hard for me to do this!"
But when he said this, Emperor Wanli got excited! He waved his hand vigorously and said, "No! My dear, you must find a way to do this! You can't watch me sleep in the palace every night, right?"
At this time, Zhang Jia said tentatively from the side: "Long live my lord, why don't you let Wu Ninghou take a job in the Royal Horse Prison?"
When Emperor Wanli heard this, he shook his head and said, "This is not possible! There has never been an example of foreign officials stationed in the Jing Army. It is very difficult to do! Moreover, the entire Jing Army is controlled by Feng Bao, and he and Mr. Zhang are still on the same team. , so he will never agree to Liu Aiqing’s involvement!”
But Liu Haojia was inspired by Zhang Jia and said, "Long live my Lord, I have a way to try, but it will take a little longer!"
Emperor Wanli immediately became energetic and said: "Speak quickly, speak quickly! What is the solution?"
Liu Haojia said: "Of course the Jing Army can't get involved, but there is a Jingying camp inside the capital! If I take a post in the Jingying camp, maybe I can eliminate the weak and keep the strong from the Jingying camp, and train within the Jingying camp Send out a new army!"
When Emperor Wanli heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "This is a good idea! I decree that you can directly become a general and lead the troops directly!"
After saying that, he left behind the Wang Desk, seemingly to get some orders. Seeing this, Liu Haojia had to stop him and said with a wry smile: "Long live my lord, you don't think I'm interfering in your honor's traditional territory, and they won't react at all, right?"
Emperor Wanli immediately figured out the reason, murmured and sat down hard on the chair and said: "It's no wonder that these nobles can't defeat the civil servants! They rush out when there is benefit, and retreat when there is risk. It's really annoying Extremely helpless!"
Liu Haojia said: "But long live the Lord, don't worry. Now most of the nobles have nothing to do, and only benefits are left in their eyes! So in the capital, we can slowly exchange benefits, but if we really want to take action, we have to do it in the Shandong Saltworks It’s almost time to finish!”
Emperor Wanli said: "What do you want to exchange for it? Is it silver?"
Liu Haojia said with a smile: "Long live my wise Lord, it's just silver!"
Emperor Wanli immediately felt something was wrong! He felt that the money in his inner treasury was about to grow wings and fly away! He said nervously: "Where does the silver come from? Don't say it comes from the inner treasury. I don't have that much silver in the inner treasury!"
Liu Haojia despised Emperor Wanli in his heart, but he still said respectfully: "Long live Lord, don't worry, the money ministers in the palace will not touch it! We can use the future money, which is the profit of the Shandong Salt Factory!" "
Then Liu Haojia gave a brief explanation. His idea was to start by rectifying the Jinyiwei and at the same time send people to prepare for the construction of the Shandong Salt Factory. Once the salt factory is on the right track, the nobles can be allowed to run the salt factory, but the condition is that a part of the Beijing camp is allocated to Liu Haojia!
