Sitting in the tent, Ye Mingsheng closed his eyes tightly and pursed his lips, motionless like a statue.
Although Ye Mingsheng looked like this on the surface, in fact, at this time, his heart was surging and he could not calm down for a long time...
It seemed that Shen Jianzhong was not lying. He came to Liujing specifically to find him. After he had talked with him before burning incense, he hurried out of the city and returned to Liaoyang.
As for what Shen Jianzhong said to himself, although there were not many words, the amount of information contained in it was huge.
Just from the fact that most of the official positions in the Zhenwu Army are held by military attachés from Zhaowuying, it can be seen that Shangguan Hongyuan wants to build an army that is only loyal to him!
Could it be that during the changes in the palace capital, his general Xu Zhaojie took sides with Lin Shize, irritating Shangguan Hongyuan? Ye Mingsheng thought silently in his heart.
Although I still don’t know what the Chief Assistant wants to do when he establishes the Zhenwu Army in the Liaoyang area, and what is his purpose...
But if he really wants to do this, Ye Mingsheng feels that if he joins the Zhenwu Army, it is certain that he will be reused.
The reason is very simple. Ye Mingsheng also has a background in Zhaowu Camp and meets the primary conditions for the position of Zhenwu Officer.
Secondly, when the Zhenwu Army was established, it was not easy to recruit troops in Liaoyang, because the entire Liaoyang Province was within the sphere of influence of Song Wenhui, the governor of Liaoyang in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In recent years, although due to Shangguan Hongyuan's outstanding methods and the strong strength of the Zhou imperial army, these Zhou vassal towns, including Song Wenhui, ostensibly submitted to the imperial court and paid a certain amount of taxes to the imperial court every year.
But in fact, they all harbored evil intentions, separatist parties on their own territory, established small kingdoms, and secretly rebelled against the imperial court.
As the saying goes, "A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake." Although Shangguan Hongyuan and his imperial army are strong, they are far away in Luo'an. It will be extremely difficult to recruit troops on Song Wenhui's territory. Song Wenjie will definitely be regarded as a thorn in Song Wenjie's side, a thorn in his flesh, and suffer a lot. To all the resistance and suppression he faced overtly and covertly...
Therefore, if you want to succeed, the first thing you need to do is how determined Shangguan Hongyuan is to establish the Zhenwu Army in the Liaoyang area, and whether he can continue to invest manpower and material resources to persevere when Song Wenjie resists.
The second step is to establish good relations with the powerful and influential families in Liaoyang and gain their support and support.
Among the aristocratic families in Liaoyang, the Yun family, the Gongsun family, and the Cui family are the most influential and powerful!
Therefore, the kinship between Ye Mingsheng and the Cui family is very useful. After all, it is easier to talk to people of your own. With this relationship, Ye Mingsheng's status in the Zhenwu Army will naturally increase. As Shen Jianzhong said, Wearing official uniforms embroidered with bear embroidery and becoming a fifth-grade military attache is also the right thing to do!
However, although the benefits are great, the risks of joining the Zhenwu Army are also not small!
Song Wenhui has been the governor of Liaoyang since the fifteenth year of Emperor Jing Taifeng's reign. As of today, this old man has been operating in Liaoyang for almost 20 years. His influence is deeply rooted in Liaoyang and is deeply intertwined.
Although in recent years, in order to deal with the threats of the Shiwei people, Khitans and other foreign races in Liaoyang, and the Luobi people outside the country, Song Wenhui became somewhat militaristic and expanded his troops to 100,000 men. Some people in Liaoyang were full of resentment, but his men This 100,000-strong army is no joke.
Let’s not talk about whether the Zhenwu Army can be there. Song Wenhui established it in Liaoyang under various pressures and resistances, both overt and covert. Even if it was established, it would reach the 30,000 people expected by Shangguan Hongyuan. scale,.
So based on the current situation that is about to break out during the Great Zhou Dynasty, maybe at some point, these feudal towns in the Great Zhou Dynasty will join forces with the aristocratic families headed by Lin Shize to have a final decisive battle with Guan Hongyuan.
In this way, the 30,000 people of the Zhenwu Army are also very dangerous under Song Wenhui's eyes. They will inevitably be surrounded and annihilated by Song Wenhui's army at the beginning of the war...
Not only that, he was born in Liaoyang. Although Ye Mingsheng was a magic weapon for his rapid rise in the Zhenwu Army, it was also a major weakness of his.
Song Wenhui, the governor of Liaoyang, has always acted in a despicable and ruthless manner. Ye Mingsheng's family still has an old mother in Fengshan County, Liaoyang. If Ye Mingsheng goes to serve in the Zhenwu Army, with Song Wenjie's usual style, he will He will definitely make a fuss about his family.
And what would happen if he didn't join the Zhenwu Army and transferred to the Hujie Forbidden Army through connections according to his original plan?
Relying on the merits of this surprise attack on Liujing, the imperial court will reward you according to your merits. My official position of the seventh rank will definitely be moved, and I will definitely be promoted to the position of the sixth rank. As for whether I can be the sixth rank, it depends on luck and money. .
After all, the position in the Hujie Forbidden Army is just like a carrot and a pit. There is no extra space to provide for an outsider like himself.
In addition, what Shen Jianzhong just said is not alarmist. With Xu Zhaojie's methods and the Xu family's power in Luo'an, even if he shuns him and transfers to the Hujie Forbidden Army, he may not be able to escape his clutches.
Ye Mingsheng kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Although the risk of joining the Zhenwu Army was very high, to be honest, in such a troubled world, there was no permanent solution. What could be done without risk?
If you want to survive in troubled times and live better than others, you must make others stronger and make others fear you and fear you!
There is no doubt that joining the Zhenwu Army gives Ye Mingsheng an opportunity to become stronger. By joining the Zhenwu Army, not only will Ye Mingsheng's official position be promoted, but his number of soldiers will also increase several times. Ye Mingsheng's temptation can be said to be very strong...
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng's mentality gradually tilted toward serving in the Zhenwu Army, but he was cautious by nature and did not make up his mind.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Mingsheng ordered the soldiers outside the tent: "Invite Liu Shilin to me!"
It is a matter of wealth, life, and future, and it must not be decided easily. It is always good to inquire more about the truth. The Liu family where Liu Shilin lives is inextricably linked to the Supervision Department. I think Liu Shilin knows something about this matter. Insider.
About a stick of incense later, Liu Shilin was a little late and walked outside Ye Mingsheng's tent. However, Liu Shilin was very surprised to find that this time Ye Mingsheng was not waiting for him in the tent as usual, but actually smiled. Wait for him outside the tent!
