Meng Zhang's guess was not wrong. Governor Zhang Weineng and these big foreign businessmen were not of the same mind at all.
On weekdays, these big businessmen concentrate on managing the governor's mansion. How could they miss the governor Zhang Weineng?
Governor Zhang Wei is not the kind of person who does not know how to adapt and will not refuse their gifts.
But when they were willing to be used by Zhang Weineng's political opponents in the court and create this incident behind Zhang Weineng's back, they were taking the initiative to stand against Zhang Weineng.
Of course, these guys who are used to being arrogant may not think there is anything wrong with doing this.
They may feel that they have given Zhang Weineng enough face by being considerate and well-organized.
Those generous gifts in daily life could not make Zhang Wei accept their approach.
However, Commander Zhang Weineng was wary of the powerful people behind them and was unwilling to directly conflict with them.
If someone stood up to fight against them at this time, Commander Zhang Weineng would definitely be happy to hear it.
Wen Dongzhenjun, who had figured out his boss's thoughts, faced Meng Zhang who came to his door on his own initiative. Of course, he gave him face-to-face instructions and asked him to fight against those big foreign merchants.
Although he knew that he was being used as a weapon, Meng Zhang happily accepted Wen Dongzhenjun's opinion.
Wendong Zhenjun used Meng Zhang to fight against the big foreign businessmen. Meng Zhang used Wendong Zhenjun and Zhang Weineng, the governor behind him, to offset the official pressure from the Dali Dynasty.
After leaving Wendong Zhenjun's residence, Meng Zhang did not delay in Jiuqu City, and immediately left here as quickly as possible and returned to the north of Jiuqu Province.
Meng Zhang did not return to Taiyimen Mountain Gate, but went directly to Huanglian Holy Mountain, the main altar of Huanglian Sect.
Since the Dali Dynasty conquered the Jiuqu League, peace has returned to this battlefield where the army fought bloody battles for many days.
When Meng Zhang came to Huanglian Holy Mountain, Xu Mengying was gathering the disciples of the sect.
On the one hand, they prepare an army of monks to prepare for emergencies.
On the other hand, plans for retreat have also begun.
If the worst happens, then she will have no choice but to lead the Huanglian Sect disciples to leave Jiuqu Province and the area ruled by the Dali Dynasty.
Meng Zhang met Xu Mengying easily.
He didn't hide anything and directly stated his plan.
Since Governor Zhang Weineng did not side with the enemy, they still had room to struggle.
They must hold off the enemy without easily starting an all-out war.
As long as the enemy does not succeed immediately, Governor Zhang Weineng will have room to intervene.
Meng Zhang not only came to help, but also opened up the connections with Governor Zhang Weineng and brought a feasible plan.
Xu Mengying was overjoyed and immediately acted according to Meng Zhang's plan without any delay.
Because Huanglian Holy Mountain is located in the hinterland of Jiuqu Province, it was previously used by the Jade Sword Sect as the temporary headquarters of the Jiuqu League.
When True Lord You Hongzhi formed that small group, some people were careful and did not want to give True Lord You Hongzhi too much say.
True Lord You Hongzhi was originally the initiator, and he could not be allowed to fully take the lead in this small group.
Therefore, both the True Lord Changchun and the True Lord Wukai proposed to temporarily establish the headquarters of the small group at Huanglian Holy Mountain.
In order to form this small group as soon as possible and compete with those big foreign merchants, True Lord You Hongzhi was willing to make concessions on many things and would not argue with everyone.
Whenever something important happens, people in the small group gather at Huanglian Holy Mountain to discuss it.
There are some basic rules in their small, loose group.
In order to ensure fairness, every Yuanshen True Lord has the right to convene everyone for discussion.
Following Meng Zhang's instructions, Xu Mengying notified all the Yuanshen True Lords in the small group and urgently summoned them to gather together to discuss plans and deal with the current difficult situation together.
By this time, even the dullest people in the small group had already realized that something was wrong.
The malicious intentions of large foreign merchants such as Datong Commercial Alliance are almost undisguised.
After receiving the summons from Xu Mengying, everyone immediately put down what they were doing and rushed to Huanglian Holy Mountain as quickly as possible to participate in the gathering.
True Lord You Hongzhi and True Lord You Huishan of Sihai Trading Company, True Lord Changchun of Changchun Temple, True Lord Wukai of Wurift Valley, True Lord Shangguanhui, the ancestor of the Shangguan family, True Lord Shangguantu, and True Lord Huolie of Huolie Mountain. , a total of eight True Lords of Yuanshen from Jiqiao Sect, True Lord Jiqiao, came to Huanglian Holy Mountain one after another.
In addition to the owner of this place, True Lord Xu Mengying, and True Lord Meng Zhang who came to assist, ten True Lords of Yuanshen gathered together.
After everyone arrived, Meng Zhang appeared in front of everyone.
No one needs to be introduced by Zhenjun Xu Mengying. Everyone knows Zhenjun Meng Zhang, the head of the Taiyi Sect.
Meng Zhang didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point.
He briefly explained the relationship between these large foreign merchants and the Governor's Palace of Jiuqu Province.
This group of big foreign businessmen acted unscrupulously and greatly offended the governor, Commander-in-Chief Zhang Weineng.
Commander Zhang Weineng was very dissatisfied with them. But due to his status, it was difficult to teach them a lesson directly.
Therefore, Commander Zhang Weineng secretly ordered Meng Zhang to gather everyone's strength to teach the big foreign merchants a lesson and let them know who is the master of Jiuqu Province.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Governor Zhang Weineng was on their side.
In this way, they are not the official enemy of the Dali Dynasty, and they don't have to worry about the army of the Dali Dynasty coming to kill them.
What Meng Zhang said was true and false, and the main purpose was to deceive these people for his own use.
None of the True Lord Yuanshen present were fools. That was why they were so easily fooled by Meng Zhang.
First of all, Meng Zhang, the head of Taiyi Sect, usually has a good reputation and is not the kind of person who breaks his word.
He said he had the secret support of Governor General Zhang Weineng, which was probably not a lie.
A person like him would not tell lies that could be easily exposed.
Secondly, everyone was a little unprepared for the sudden situation.
Those who are less timid like Zhenjun Jiqiao are already frightened, fearing that they will be punished as rebels by the Dali Dynasty.
Meng Zhang appeared at this time and pointed out a clear path for everyone. Of course, everyone must firmly grasp this life-saving straw.
Meng Zhang has been the head of a sect for many years, and he is also the True Lord of Yuanshen. He has a kind of magnanimity that can convince others.
His plan is not complicated and consists of two main steps.
One step is that they, the ten True Lords of Yuanshen, take action immediately to show their force and prove that they are not so easy to deal with.
With ten True Lords of Yuanshen united, even if they dispatched the army to suppress the north, it would be difficult to catch them all in one fell swoop.
As long as they cannot be resolved quickly, they must be taken seriously.
Another step is for all the True Lords of Yuanshen here to immediately send their juniors to Jiuqu City to complain to the Governor, Commander Zhang Weineng, and ask him to make the decision for everyone.
