Now Zhao Zongquan's side seems to be very powerful, but they are all small groups, and most of them have no affiliation.
These leaders can stand together and fight for their own fame and fortune.
But when it comes to the people under these people's command, they don't think about it. Moreover, these people belong to the Western Suburbs Camp, and many of them have frictions and grudges between them.
These middle and low-level generals alone do not have the ability to suppress them. Once these troops are allowed to flow into Bianjing City, they will definitely not be able to restrain them, and there will be a big chaos.
Although these people may not dare to come to their homes, they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
Now that his entire family is in Bianjing, Li Hao really can't accept such a risk.
So he discussed with Gu Tingye and others: "We must not let these people cause trouble in Bianjing City. Otherwise, even if they are calmed down afterwards, the harm caused will be immeasurable."
On this point, Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan also had the same opinion. After all, a gentleman would not build a dangerous wall. Ningyuan Hou's Mansion and Ling Guogong's Mansion were much more eye-catching than Li Hao's family in Bianjing City.
For your own safety, it is necessary to suppress these people in advance.
But this matter is quite difficult to handle now, because on Li Hao's side, the only person with the prestige to control the western suburbs camp is the British Duke, but he is now far away in the northwest border.
[In view of the general environment,
Others, such as Duke Ling, Uncle Zhongqin, and Marquis Yongjia, do not have this ability.
Of course, Li Hao still has the military talisman in his hand. If he uses it, he can directly command the three armies. At worst, he can integrate some troops to eliminate the threat in advance.
It's just that Li Hao knew in his heart that the military talisman cannot be exposed yet, otherwise he will definitely become a loser. Moreover, the military talisman is also Li Hao's biggest back-up move and cannot be used casually.
What should we do next? The three of them sat here and pondered.
In the end, he couldn't think of a way to do it, so Yang Wenyuan simply said: "How about we also call together the old brothers from the Royal Camp Army, which will add up to a lot of people.
I'm thinking of ways to relocate the location. Move closer to them.
In this way, whenever they make any move, we will take them all down with a preemptive strike. "
Li Hao shook his head and said, "This plan sounds feasible, but it also has big problems.
First of all, those who were in the imperial camp at the time, who can guarantee that they are all of the same mind as us.
You must know that things that cannot be controlled often happen. If their family sided with Zhao Zongquan, how could they still be alone.
Moreover, direct conflagration is unrealistic. Not to mention that there is no conclusive evidence, even if there is, it may not make other people stand on the same position as us.
Don't forget that Bianjing City will not be in chaos by then. The western suburbs camp will fight first and cause heavy casualties. No one will be able to stop it by then. "
In fact, Yang Wenyuan also knew that this idea was unreliable, but he really couldn't think of any other way.
After the three of them were silent for a while, Li Hao said: "Forget it, judging from the state of the official family now, it should be able to last for a while.
I will look for an opportunity tomorrow to find Mr. Ouyang and ask if the situation in the northwest has changed. I will see if the British Mr. can drag him down.
In addition, I will also send a letter to the British father to explain the situation. After all, he is most familiar with the western suburbs camp, and maybe he can come up with a solution. "
Since there is no way out now, we can only do what Li Hao said first.
But then before leaving, Gu Tingye asked again: "By the way, the troops you brought to Shu should have returned to Beijing by now. When you go to see Grand Prime Minister Ouyang, ask them where they have gone."
Li Hao naturally understood Gu Tingye's intentions. No matter what, it was necessary to increase his strength at this time.
If these people can arrive in Beijing in time, then their hands will be much easier.
Dang even nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will ask together in the past, but
In the next period of time, we can't be idle. We have to find out how many people have taken refuge in Zhao Zongquan.
We will trouble you at the western suburbs camp. Wen Yuan will be responsible for exploring the situation at the polo field to see who Zhao Ceying is close to there.
I will try to make some noise to attract the attention of Zhao Zongquan and Empress Cao, so that it can be convenient for you. "
After the general idea was settled, Gu Tingye and the others left.
In order to create a reasonable reason to meet Ouyang Xiu, Queen Cao and Zhao Zongquan would not have an overreaction.
Taking advantage of Chen Shengzhi's harsh criticism of the Salt and Iron Division, Li Hao thought of a way and directly tampered with the stomach hospital.
While Chen Shengzhi sent people to investigate in the South Workshop, his people accidentally destroyed several furnaces of molten iron that were about to be finished.
Then Li Hao went directly to Chen Shengzhi and said, "Sir, this order from the Privy Council to dispatch weapons came suddenly. In order to complete it on time, the Stomach Courtyard has been working at full capacity, and it is already a little overwhelmed.
As a result, the date was approaching, but he was harmed by a villain, ruining many days of hard work.
If we try to refine it again now, we will definitely not be able to make it in time, and the craftsmen hired from outside have also agreed on the time, so it is not known whether they can be retained by then.
I don't know how to deal with this matter anymore, so please let me know. "
Chen Shengzhi naturally understood that Li Hao came here this time to use the topic to show off his power.
After all, the relationship between the two is no longer as harmonious as it was before. Since receiving Han Qi's instructions, he has tried every means to make things difficult for Li Hao.
And Chen Shengzhi also knew that Li Hao was by no means a submissive person. The reason he could tolerate it for so long before he had an attack was probably for the sake of Han Qi and Zhao Zongquan.
So Chen Shengzhi had already been mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that Li Hao had chosen such a good time to attack.
There was an unstable situation in the northwest, so more weapons and equipment were naturally needed.
So the Privy Council ordered that within one month, ten thousand long knives, two thousand pieces of armor, three thousand crossbows, and a number of guns, swords, gunpowder and other weapons should be produced.
Now because of my own people, the production of this batch of weapons cannot be completed on time. I'm afraid I have to find a way to shoulder this responsibility.
However, the blame fell on his own shoulders, but Chen Shengzhi would not bow his head in front of Li Hao, and immediately said: "I will go to the Prime Minister Ouyang to apologize for this matter, and ask for more grace.
What was destroyed here was the last batch. I think it would have been completed as long as the Grand Prime Minister gave me a grace period of five or six days. "
After hearing this, Li Hao smiled and said: "My lord, you are wrong. If you want to finish this batch of weapons, five or six days will not be enough.
If you really want to maintain quality and quantity, it will take at least fifteen or sixteen days. "
Chen Shengzhi was completely stunned and immediately asked: "How could it take so long? If we go according to the schedule you said, how could we complete the quantity requested by the Privy Council in one month?"
Li Hao explained: "It was originally made quickly because we temporarily seconded craftsmen from the General Supervisor and the Ministry of Works, who already had work on hand.
If it weren't for the seriousness of the relationship this time, even if Mr. Ouyang came forward, he might not be able to borrow it, so the time was agreed upon with them before the secondment.
Once they leave, only Weiyuan's own craftsmen are left, and the production efficiency will naturally be low. "
After explaining, Li Hao also teased: "Anyway, I don't dare to go to the Ministry of Works and the General Supervisor's door, why don't you drop by.
Maybe you have a lot of face and let the person stay. "
Hearing this, Chen Shengzhi's face darkened and he didn't know how to answer.
