"Haha, it turns out to be Major Zhou! Let's go! It's windy here, and I've just had someone prepare a meal of food and wine. Come on, let's have a good meal.
It just so happens that I also want to tell you about the situation here. "
Zhou Yude originally wanted to politely refuse. It didn't seem right for him to be a big fish and meat when he first arrived. But when the other party mentioned the situation, he just went along with it.
"Then thank you sir for your kindness."
In this way, Zhou Yude was pulled into a very shabby house in a daze.
The situation here is simple, and Zhou Yude can understand it.
However, what happened next was somewhat beyond his expectation, because before he said a word or even took a bite of meat, a group of people at the wine table had already drank a pound of wine each.
But it wasn't over yet. After eating some meat one after another, Zhou Yude had just calmed down when the second wave of drinks came again. This time it was vodka, mixed with some liquor brought by Chang Wei from Guanzhong.
After the temperature went up, Zhou Yude wanted to ask a question but couldn't. He only felt the figure in front of him shaking.
During this period, I wanted to refuse several times, but after all, he was a commander, with a military rank higher than him and a higher position than him, so how could I refuse.
As a result, he staggered and lay on his back on the ground, and soon began to purr.
Seeing Zhou Yude drunk, although the faces of several people at the wine table turned red, there was nothing strange about them.
In this winter, everyone usually gets together to drink together, even the poor drinkers have learned to do it.
Needless to say, Zhao Ming said that now that his body has been blessed, even three bottles of vodka will not be able to defeat him.
But at this moment, everyone put down their wine glasses and all their eyes fell on Zhao Ming.
"Master Zhao, is it really necessary for us to show our trump card so openly today?
Will this make the other party afraid? " Zhang Kai thought.
The monkey on the side made a gesture of wiping his neck with some drunkenness, "otherwise, we just don't do it at all..."
\"What are you afraid of? I ask you what are you afraid of?\"
Seeing that everyone was a little confused before anything happened, Zhao Ming put down the wine cup with a bang and shouted in a deep voice.
When there was silence in the room, Zhao Ming said calmly,
"Have we beaten up the people from Outer Mongolia? Have we attacked the escort teams from Outer Mongolia one after another recently? Are we going to close the net next?
Are we taking the money and not doing things, or are we not doing good things? Do you need to be in such a hurry? "
In the past few days when Zhou Yude was rushing to Huozhongtun, they had successively robbed the escort team from Outer Mongolia four times.
They deliberately pretended to be invincible and let two groups go, but also robbed two groups.
Now, the total number of people in the camp has reached 70,000, and they are showing a very strange trend of rising yin and declining yang.
Women account for 70% of the total population. Now Zhao Ming can even tell all Zhensong Army brothers without exaggeration that I have fulfilled my promise to you before. If you want to share a wife, you can choose your own.
Of course this is just a joke, but if we really want to divide it, there will definitely only be more if each person gets one.
"But Mr. Zhao, with such a supervisor here, the situation here..."
Zhang Kai couldn't help but laugh a little as he spoke.
Because damn it, there are too many people in the camp now, and with just one glance, anyone can tell that Zhao Ming is not trying to cause trouble.
Zhao Ming was also a little embarrassed, but he was not panicked at all.
“Since it was deliberately made for him to see, there will naturally be no problem.
The more people we have, the more we need to rely on. "
Zhao Ming had already thought about this matter clearly.
As long as the arsenal is sealed and the powerful firepower cannot be exposed for the time being, the rest can be displayed.
Now that the other party has invested so much, if I don't give him some clues, the other party will really have no bottom.
After all, if there are more people, there will be more space for the other party to operate in the future.
For example, the reason is to support the troops for self-respect, or to use food as a threat.
At first glance, it seems unreasonable that Zhao Ming is just asking for money this time. Although there were tens of thousands of people in the camp, they did not directly ask for a large amount of food and grass. Instead, they asked for money.
Could this kid want to purchase food from other sources privately?
What would Zhang Li think in this case? He would only think that Zhao Ming was a little clever, but not much.
On the contrary, he will feel relieved because he discovered Zhao Ming's loophole.
If one weakness is shown, there will be no problem, but if all weaknesses are clearly shown, Zhang Li will think deeply.
With Zhao Ming now holding a large population, Zhang Li would only think that Zhao Ming was a little naughty, and might use this as a bargaining chip to obtain more benefits.
For example, after finishing the matter in Outer Mongolia, we may ask for more meritorious service, or we may focus on practical benefits.
None of this is a problem for Zhang Li, which shows that he can control Zhao Ming.
But if he asked for food openly, and there were so many people, would Zhang Li think it was too easy?
Once he thought about it carefully, there were so many ideas in his mind that it was difficult for Zhao Ming to grasp Zhang Li's thoughts.
On the other hand, this is the best situation.
Just the large number of people shows that Zhao Ming did not get a large amount of arms from somewhere to deal with the Outer Mongols before, but he may have relied on his numerical advantage to constantly deal with the Outer Mongols.
But if the number of people is not revealed and everything is hidden, the other party will probably think more.
If you grasp the human heart to a certain extent, there will be unexpected benefits.
Zhang Kai nodded thoughtfully at this time.
"I roughly understand what you mean. The obvious flaws are not flaws but traps. The hidden flaws are more convincing.
Then our next actions will be to restrict these people? To completely swallow these Outer Mongols, heavy firepower would have to be used. "
"It's not urgent. We will close the net soon. Before that, we will test this person first!" Zhao Ming thought for a while.
"You mean to find a way to win over him? I'm afraid it's not that simple. In a place like ours, it's different from others..."
Zhang Kai was embarrassed to go on, but the reason was clear.
If others follow Chief Zhang, they can still get a formal job, and their future is bright.
But here, even if Zhao Ming can give him money, in the final analysis he is still a dependent person, and his future with Zhao Ming is uncertain.
"Who says I want to win over him? Sometimes it's true and false."
Zhao Ming didn't say much. Sometimes when you win over someone, you don't really want to win over the other person.
Isn’t Jiang Qian in the Three Kingdoms the best example?
A plan within a plan, a plan within a plan, sometimes what you say is unreliable, but it is different if you borrow it from others.
Zhang Kai nodded helplessly, Zhao Ming was really good at playing tricks and cheating.
I don’t know what Zhang Li will be deceived into in the end.
"Haha, okay, you are an expert in tricks anyway, you can worry about this yourself.
However, the chief officer was really generous. Eighty Thousand Dayang sent it over without blinking an eye. "
They had just finished counting the goods escorted this time. There were several boxes of small yellow croakers, mixed with some oceans.
The total value is just eighty thousand oceans.
\"It's normal. This is accurate and we won't be able to overturn the situation.\"
Zhao Ming was not surprised by this. It was only 80,000 yuan, which was of course a sky-high price for ordinary people, but for these officials who owned a province.
Eighty thousand oceans are not enough to put their teeth between their teeth.
Some people who exploit places are more ruthless, such as Marshal Wang, who was able to make a lot of money in the past few years.
This person previously served as the patrol envoy to the two lakes and the governor of Hubei. Data shows that this person has amassed tens of millions of assets in Hubei within ten years.
Compared to this marshal, the ones that others collected were just drizzle.
