"The general wants to surrender to the Ming Lord, help with great things, achieve great achievements, and have a wife and son. But now my lord is a rare Ming Lord. The general works for my lord, isn't it what I said about getting the best of both worlds?"
When Wu Yong spoke, he always paid attention to Zhang Guiba's reaction, and his tone was very sincere.
Zhang Guiba's expression kept changing, and he was obviously thinking intensely in his heart.
"Before I came, my lord once told me that General Zhang is a great general. If he can join Sihong, the Zhennan Army will be even more powerful. My lord also said that as long as the general is willing to join the army, the position of general will be vacant. Waiting!"
Wu Yong carefully stated the conditions given by Wang Jing.
This was not something he said randomly just to persuade the other party. Wang Jing had personally ordered that as long as Zhang Guiba was willing to surrender, the past matters would be forgotten and Zhang Guiba would still be retained as a general.
After reorganizing the grass army, Zhang Guiba was given the opportunity to continue leading troops into battle.
To be honest, in Wu Yong's opinion, this condition is not very good.
According to Wu Yong's understanding, if you want a general like Zhang Guiba who can lead tens of thousands of troops to join a separate kingdom, the position of general is a must. In addition, gold, silver, land, and beauties must also be provided.
Only in this way can we show the sincerity of the Zhennan Army.
But before coming, Wang Jing had already stated the conditions, which were simple. The only benefit was that he would continue to lead the army and serve as a general. If he wanted to get the land, gold, silver and beauties, he would need to perform meritorious service in exchange for it.
Wu Yong didn't dare to make random guarantees. When talking about the conditions, he could only try to be as good as possible.
General!
Zhang Guiba's eyes flashed. As an enemy, of course he knew the official position system of the Sihong army. Among them, the Sihong army had 10,000 generals and 10,000 troops. He was considered the second-largest general in the army after Wang Jing.
After Zhang Lin of the Tang Army surrendered, he was also appointed as a staff general and commanded 10,000 elite soldiers and horses, which was regarded as being reused.
At this time, in the Zhennan Army, apart from the two generals Mai Tiezhang and Li Kaifang, there were only a few people such as Li Jun from the navy who were in the position of generals.
The conditions given by Wang Jing seemed dry, but they were actually very sincere.
Zhang Guiba's views are different from Wu Yong's. Although Wu Yong has more thoughts and quick thinking, he has never held great power or messed around in officialdom.
Being able to control ten thousand elite soldiers and horses, this is authority! With authority, what kind of land, gold, silver and beauties can be easily captured in the future?
Zhang Guiba has the talent of a general. Is it not easy to achieve great achievements?
However, it is true that the conditions given by Wang Jing are sincere, but Zhang Guiba still needs to think about it seriously and think about it carefully before speaking.
"Mr. Wu is tired from all the traveling, so you should go down and rest first. I will seriously consider what you said!"
Zhang Guiba's face softened, but his tone did not allow for refutation, and he directly asked people to send Wu Yong to a secluded tent for resettlement.
Wu Yong was not disappointed either.
He followed the people out of the big tent with a smile and returned to the tent where he was placed. At this time, Li Gun and Xiang Chong were already waiting in the tent.
"Military advisor, how are you doing? What does General Zhang say?"
After welcoming Wu Yong into the camp, Xiang Chong asked in a low voice when he saw that the sergeants guarding outside were far away.
This time when I came to the Caojun camp, Xiang Chong and Li Gun were deputy envoys and Wu Yong's guards.
At this time, they and Wu Yong both prospered and suffered losses.
If Wu Yong can make great contributions, all three of them will be rewarded.
According to Qiao Xuan, if Wu Yong made great achievements, he could directly serve as the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Department in the Zhennan Military Mansion.
After annexing the Tang Army and the Nanliang Army, the Zhennan Military Mansion suddenly received a large number of officials from both.
Under Wang Jing's decision to send authority to the countryside, a county under the Zhennan Military Mansion needed a large number of officials, and the various ministers of the Military Mansion also needed many officials.
When there are many officials, it is necessary to determine the hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, so that they can communicate with each other.
In other words, Wang Jing must grade the civil and military officials under his command.
After discussions between Shen Yi, Bu Zhi and others, the grades of the military mansion were divided.
Among them, Wang Jing's General Zhennan is temporarily in the third rank. The military general is the fifth rank, the guerrilla general is the fifth rank, the thousand-household is the seventh rank, the deputy of the thousand households is the seventh rank, the hundred households is the eighth rank, and the team leader is the ninth rank. The civil servants and assistants in the army also range from the ninth to the eighth grade.
In addition to military positions, the military will also need to establish honorary ranks in the future.
If the officers and soldiers who have made meritorious deeds are not worthy of promotion, they will be rewarded with honorary titles. Each level of honorary title has corresponding military land and salary.
Among the county magistrates and civil servants such as Si Cao, Wanshou, Donghu, Sihong, Quy Nhon, etc. in the military government, the county magistrate is the seventh rank, the chief Bo and the county lieutenant are the subordinate seventh rank, and the six county magistrates are the eighth rank and the subordinate officials. The eighth grade, the township chief and the patrol inspector in the county are the ninth grade and ranging from the ninth grade.
In the future, when a state capital was set up, the magistrates and prefects would range from the fifth to the sixth level.
This is the level of the local system.
The Foreign Affairs Department and Construction Department of the Zhennan Military Mansion belong to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry in the three-province and six-ministry system. Currently, the chief executive is temporarily at the seventh rank, and the deputy chiefs and department officials are at the seventh rank...
In the future, when Wang Jing becomes a marquis or a king, the six ministries directly under the military government will continue to upgrade their status. When the country is founded, all principals and deputy chiefs will become ministers and ministers of the six ministries.
Become a senior official above the third level.
Therefore, if Wu Yong is popularly known as the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Department, as long as he does his job well and does not get involved, he may follow the military government and become a high official in the future.
Wang Jing was a little dissatisfied with Wu Yong's character and scheming, but he did not belittle his abilities.
As a monarch, no matter whether they are honest or corrupt officials, they will use them as long as they have ability. As for how to abandon the shortcomings of subordinate officials and use their advantages, this depends on the monarch's ability to recognize and employ people.
In Wang Jing's view.
Wu Yong was very scheming and quick-talking, but he happened to have one less envoy to serve as an external envoy. Since Wu Yong was leaning on him, let him take over directly.
As long as Wu Yong makes a contribution.
Wang Jing would not be stingy about his official position and would definitely let Wu Yong serve as deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Department as promised.
After Qiao Xuan's advice, Wu Yong also knew that this visit to Caojun Yingzhai was an excellent opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Anyway, with Zhang Guihou in hand, he was not afraid of Zhang Guiba becoming ruthless.
With his life guaranteed, it depends on Wu Yong's ability whether he can convince the other party and make great achievements.
"rest assured!"
Wu Yong was full of confidence at this time and smiled at his two companions: "As the saying goes, those who understand the current affairs are heroes. I think this General Zhang is not an ignorant and reckless man, he has a groove in his chest!"
"As long as he is willing to think about it, the purpose of our trip will be more than half successful!"
What is in your heart will definitely be expressed in your actions and words.
