Those big businessmen from the mainland of Dali Dynasty are not ignorant people, nor are they just stupid young people who only know how to act recklessly.
They have dedicated personnel responsible for managing the entire Jiuqu Province Governor's Mansion.
An important person like Wendong Zhenjun will naturally not be left behind.
Wen Dongzhenjun received enough benefits, but he was unwilling to offend the powerful officials in the court behind them. Naturally, we should turn a blind eye to what they do.
At critical moments, you should even take the initiative to help and receive a good cause.
In comparison, the friendship with Meng Zhang and the generous gifts from Meng Zhang were a bit insufficient.
If that were the case, if Meng Zhang came to ask for help this time, he would just turn him away.
However, this incident was not just Guojiang Qianglong's offensive against the local forces of the Jiuqu League, but also involved other aspects.
In order to put down the Jiuqu League as soon as possible, Commander Zhang Weineng offered very generous conditions to recruit the major cultivation forces to surrender. Instead of weakening them, it allowed them to retain their semi-independent status.
Such an approach does not agree with the Dali Dynasty's tradition of foreign conquests, nor is it consistent with the Dali Dynasty's consistent style.
Within the Dali Dynasty, many people expressed dissatisfaction with this, believing that Commander Zhang Weineng was too weak and had given in too much to the major cultivation forces of the Jiuqu Alliance.
In the Dali Dynasty, there were also factions and political disputes.
As a pure general, Commander Zhang Weineng would inevitably be involved.
The actions of external forces such as the Miaodan Society, the Qifu Alliance, and the Datong Merchant Alliance this time greatly catered to the ideas of some people in the DPRK.
In the view of some senior officials in the Dali Dynasty, Commander Zhang Weineng's original approach was just a temporary measure.
The consequence of this was that many semi-independent princes appeared in Jiuqu Province.
This is not good for the rule of the Dali Dynasty and will cause many hidden dangers.
With the help of private forces such as the Datong Merchant Alliance, sorting out the local forces in Jiuqu Province will be conducive to the long-term stability of Jiuqu Province in the future.
This group of people acted out of wishful thinking, thinking that this would also be beneficial to Governor Zhang Weineng.
But they didn't think about it, or they didn't care about it, what Commander Zhang Weineng was thinking.
Marshal Zhang Weineng is the governor of Jiuqu Province, and he has long regarded Jiuqu Province as his own territory.
A group of outsiders came to his own land to dictate and do whatever they wanted. It was strange that he had no idea in his mind.
If these big foreign merchants just use normal business methods, then that's fine.
Even if he has some opinions in his heart, he will not express them easily.
They caused such a big trouble, which obviously exceeded the tolerance limit of Commander Zhang Weineng.
Especially this incident, which actually involves the garrison troops stationed in various parts of Jiuqu Province, is even more outrageous.
After the armies stationed in Jiuqu Province have been weakened many times, the most powerful one is the Zhenbei Army, which is personally controlled by Commander Zhang Weineng and is generally not used easily on weekdays.
The garrison troops stationed in various places were only stationed in unpopular places within the Dali Dynasty system.
The strongest in the army is only at the Golden Core stage, and the overall strength is weak.
Its members are also mixed, with varying levels of quality.
No matter how weak the garrison is, it is still an army under Commander Zhang Weineng.
For the sake of their own selfish interests, these big businessmen extended their hands into the garrison, which violated the taboo of Commander Zhang Weineng.
As for them secretly entangled the army of monks and wanted to overstep their authority and act privately, it made Commander Zhang Weineng determined that they must not be allowed to do whatever they wanted.
Since Wen Dongzhenjun is a staff member of the Governor's Mansion, his stance is naturally firmly on the Governor's side.
Governor Zhang Weineng had not hidden his thoughts in front of Zhenjun Wendong, so Zhenjun Wendong would naturally have to share the worries of his immediate boss.
Meng Zhang came to the door at this time, which really suits Zhenjun Wen Dong's wishes.
Wendong Zhenjun revealed vaguely that the Governor-General Zhang Weineng was very dissatisfied with the practices of those large foreign merchants.
Of course, as the provincial governor, Commander Zhang Weineng could not directly intervene in this matter.
Wen Dongzhenjun's words made Meng Zhang feel happy.
As long as Governor General Zhang Weineng does not side with the enemy, there will be room for maneuver in this matter.
He immediately complained to Zhenjun Wendong.
He cried out that these big foreign businessmen, through conspiracy and tricks, framed and slandered good people, and charged with chaos.
If they follow their approach, Jiuqu Province will only make people panic and everyone is in danger.
If it is not handled properly, it may trigger a civil war in Jiuqu Province.
Meng Zhang complained about the small group formed by Zhenjun You Hongzhi. Although the words were exaggerated, they hit the mark on what Zhenjun Wen Dong was most worried about.
Those big foreign businessmen accused the local cultivators of being a rebel and wanted to wipe them out.
Even the weakest cultivator will not surrender.
Once a war breaks out, there will definitely be no peace in Jiuqu Province.
If the war drags on for a long time, it will lead to many adverse consequences.
As the governor of the province, Commander Zhang Weineng certainly did not want to see wars and devastation in the area he ruled.
Wen Dongzhenjun hinted to Meng Zhang that Governor Zhang Weineng knew something about their grievances.
He even told Meng Zhang clearly that in the entire Jiuqu Province, only Governor Zhang Wei was the commander-in-chief and was qualified to decide who was a rebel.
Other than that, what others say is nonsense and nothing can be done.
In view of the recent chaos in Jiuqu Province, Commander Zhang Weineng will personally clean up the garrison, focusing on the garrison in various places.
With Zhenjun Wen Dong's words, Meng Zhang was convinced.
In this way, there would be no fear that the big foreign businessmen would use the official power of the Dali Dynasty to dispatch large armies to eradicate the local cultivation forces.
Although Zhenjun Wen Dong didn't say it explicitly, he gave Meng Zhang many hints.
They, a group of local cultivators, can gather together and confront those big foreign merchants.
Under such circumstances, no one would easily start a war. At most it was a small-scale confrontation.
When the confrontation lasted for a long time, Governor General Zhang Weineng would intervene on the pretext of mediation.
At that time, all troubles will be settled.
Meng Zhang didn't really believe in Lord Wen Dong. But under the current situation, he could only have a chance of survival if he did what the other party said.
If he were not standing against the official Dali Dynasty, but just against those big businessmen, Meng Zhang would have the confidence to give it a try.
The local cultivation forces in Jiuqu Province are not weak, as long as they join forces. Even if you can't defeat the opponent, there is still no big problem in maintaining a confrontation and delaying time.
The reason why Meng Zhang came to Zhenjun Wen Dong for help was not because he hoped that the friendship between the two parties would be of great use.
He just guessed that the Governor-General Zhang Weineng might not be happy to see these guys from the Dali Dynasty doing whatever they wanted and causing all kinds of troubles in their own ruling area.
