Regardless of men and women, he can coax people around!
And he treats people with sincerity—mainly because he has a big style, he is quick to give money, and he is willing to recommend and promote subordinates.
Therefore, those who are close to him will be won over by him, and some of them will soon become his confidantes.
As for Kong Sizhen and Hong Shiming, they don't want Kang Mazi now, and they have all become Wu Yingxiong's best friends.
Even Kong Sizhen's husband, Sun Yanling, is now part of Wu Yingxiong's party!
However, Wu Yingxiong's foundation in Wu Zhou's army is still too shallow, and now he is in the midst of a battle related to Wu Zhou's future and destiny.Most of Wu Zhou's generals were on the front line, and Wu Yingxiong rarely had the opportunity to get in touch with them.And those generals are small warlords, all of whom have their own small groups...they are not Wu Zhou's wage earners, but shareholders!
To win over them is not about giving "a little salary increase" or "a little bonus", but it involves the adjustment of shares.
This matter is complicated!
Wu Yingxiong, who is not familiar with Wu Zhou's internal "shareholding situation", dare not mess around with the "shareholding issue"...
Although Kong Sizhen is a woman, after all, she has been involved in Guangxi military affairs for a long time, and she had her own directly subordinate leader earlier, so she is familiar with the issues of warlord interests.
So he comforted Wu Yingxiong and said: "Brother Wu, you are worrying too much... I don't think there will be the Xuanwu Gate Change and the Jingnan Battle."
"How do you know?" Wu Yingxiong asked.
Kong Sizhen said: "Although my younger sister is a woman, she also knows how the three feudal lords governed the army... In the past, the feudal lords of the three feudal lords shared military power with the generals below. Although Tong, Zongbing, and Xietai call themselves slaves in front of the feudal lord, they are actually small lords, just like the princes who entered the Eight Banners in the early years!
Although the territory occupied by the Second Young Master is not large, only four prefectures and three prefectures, but the population obtained is quite a lot... Some of them are refugees who have lost their land and homes. The Second Young Master can easily enlist them in the army , and then split up with the people below. "
"what……"
Wu Yingxiong's face suddenly turned ashen.
The Eight Banners military system in the early years was actually an enhanced version of the military household system in the Ming Dynasty!
And now Wu Zhou's military system is similar to the Eight Banners military system in the early years. The power and benefits of generals are mainly determined by the number of military households they lead.
And Wu Yingqi won a large number of densely populated state capitals in Henan, as well as a large number of refugees.
In the future, Wu Zhou's military households will definitely have a round of expansion... and Wu Yingqi, as the head coach of the Henan front, will definitely have a great say in the distribution of military households.
Therefore, through this distribution of military households, Wu Yingqi will be able to expand his power enough to become Wu Sangui's successor with a high probability.
Wu Yingxiong... now is not worried about "Xuanwumen" and "Battle of Jingnan", but wants "Xuanwumen" and "Battle of Jingnan".
After all, the strength of Li Jiancheng and Zhu Yunqi is not small, so there will be "Xuanwumen" and "Jingnan", otherwise they will just die quietly!
"Young President," Hong Shiming said suddenly at this time, "I heard that the President has diarrhea again in the past two days?"
Wu Yingxiong nodded: "It's always like this... I'm getting old, my stomach is not good, but I still don't accept my old age, I like to eat greasy things, and I pull it accidentally. In the past, when there was no magic medicine for garlic, now there is medicine. But if it is cured, he will have nothing to worry about."
It turns out that Wu Sangui has used allicin several times, and the effect is not bad!
Hong Shiming said leisurely: "It's a pity that our own doctor can't make this allicin, so we can only buy it at a high price from the public medical halls in Guangzhou and Nanjing... It doesn't matter if you spend a lot of money, the key is that it is not safe! How about letting people from Zhu and Qi know that these medicines are for the President? It’s not that difficult to inject some poison, right?”
Wu Yingxiong's eyes widened, just looking at Hong Shiming.Hong Shiming's face was almost ashen, and he said frankly: "If the minister is Zhu Heqi, he will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity... Now that the Qing Dynasty has been defeated, it is only a matter of time before they are completely defeated. In the future, the world will be either Ming or Zhou Ah! Young President, you have to be careful!"
Chapter 464 It's time for fathers to be kind and sons to be filial again!
Wu Sangui, President of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had already eaten a bottle of allicin this morning, and now he was playing with the small milky white Chaozhou porcelain bottle used to hold "garlic essential oil", while he was there with Fang Guangchen and those who had just come from Wang Shirong, who had returned from the Henan Army, was feeling over there!
Wu Sangui said: "Look, look... that stuff is not only magical, but the bottle that contains it is also rare in the world! This color, this roundness, this transparent, people believe that it is a famous imperial kiln porcelain. !"
"President," Fang Guangchen said, taking over the topic, "Guangdong and Fujian have produced a lot of good things in the past few years! Garlic medicine is just one of them. This kind of porcelain... called milky white is also one.
In addition... there is also special white sugar, which is also unique in the world.There are also Chaozhou Daming Spring and Daming Yujiu, which are made from bagasse, which are also very good.There is also a kind of perfume, I heard that it sells very well in the West.By the way, there is also Foshan Baisteel, this needs special attention! "
Wu Sangui sighed, shook his head and said, "Could it be destiny? So many good things, why do they all appear in Guangdong and Fujian? Although Guangdong and Fujian had some good things in the Ming Dynasty, there were not so many of them! Did it come from the Western side?"
"President," Wang Shirong, who had stayed with Kangxi for a while and looked at the world with his eyes wide open, shook his head, "None of those came from the West. Westerners don't know how to make porcelain, and they don't know how to prepare that kind of garlic medicine. They probably haven’t heard of it. They don’t know how to produce white sugar, let alone white sugar, they can’t even produce our Guangxi white. Those things are really made by Guangdong and Fujian!”
Fang Guangchen took over the topic and said to Wu Sangui: "Guangdong and Fujian are almost becoming a land of abundance now... President, you must not take it lightly!"
Wu Sangui glanced at Fang Guangchen, "Ting Xian, tell me, how can I not take it lightly? Are you going to have a Lian Qing Mie Ming?"
Fang Guangchen smiled wryly and said: "The strength of the Ming Dynasty cannot be destroyed by the president's alliance... I think that the most important thing for our Dazhou to survive is self-improvement! Although we have established a large territory now , but the military system and finances are still the same, and although the land equalization system has begun, the progress is also very slow, and the matter of reclaiming Sichuan has not yet been figured out."
Wu Sangui nodded again and again, "We have to do it well... Ting Xian, besides these, is there anything else?"
"Yes!" Fang Guangchen nodded, then looked at Wu Sangui and said, "President, we can still use Ming as our teacher!"
"Why do you take Ming as your teacher?" Wu Sangui asked.
Fang Guangchen said: "It is to send people to Guangdong and Fujian to learn art from teachers, if not possible, steal teachers... You must learn the secrets of military white sugar and Foshan hundred steelmaking!"
Wang Shirong also seemed to agree with Fang Guangchen's words very much, and added while nodding: "President, there is another rocket launcher that is also very powerful, and you have to learn it!"
It can be said that the pressure that Ming puts on Wu Zhou and Qing is unprecedented!
And under the stimulation of Ming Dynasty, Wu Zhou and Qing Dynasty also began to work hard to improve... Now the Ming and Qing Zhou Guodou has been upgraded from a low-level rookie pecking each other to a high-level fighting dragon.
Not to mention anything else, just this "militarization of sugar" and "field squatting in pits" is enough for the armies of the Ming and Qing Dynasties to lead the trend of the world.
In addition, after the appearance of "Foshan Hundred Steelmaking", the guns of the Ming army will also start to upgrade!And if Wu Zhou and the Qing Dynasty want to persevere in the future struggle, they must sharpen their heads and study hard, and work very hard to "teach their skills"!
The content of the conversation between Wu Sangui, Fang Guangchen, and Wang Shirong soon became "distorted" to how to "take Ming as a teacher".
The three chatted for a while, and when it was almost time for dinner, Wu Sangui's bodyguard suddenly came to report: "President, the young president is here."
"Tell him to come in quickly!" After Wu Sangui gave the order, he smiled and said to the left and right: "This kid must know that I feel cold occasionally, so he came to visit."
Fang Guangchen has always looked down on Wu Yingqi as a martial artist, so he helped Wu Yingxiong to speak: "Young President is a son of the most filial piety, enough to take on great positions... President, shouldn't it be time for you to assume the position?"
Right now in Wu Sangui's camp, a group of people around Wu Yingxiong all want to push Wu Sangui to be the emperor, so that Wu Yingxiong can be crowned prince.
Wang Shirong is not Wu Yingxiong's person, but he also agrees to allow Wu Sangui to ascend the throne earlier... Even if he is not an emperor, he should at least be a king, right?
So he also said to Wu Sangui: "President, I also think that you should establish the title of emperor as soon as possible, so that you can be justified!"
Wu Sangui nodded without saying yes or no, as if thinking of something embarrassing him, when he was frowning, Wu Yingxiong had already arrived.I didn't arrive alone, but with Wu Sangui's concubine Chen Yuanyuan.He also helped Chen Yuanyuan hold a tray, on which was a box of garlic, a tea bowl, and a teapot.
Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said to Wu Sangui: "Master, it's time to take medicine. Today this box of medicine is a new medicine bought by Gegetuo from Nanjing. It has just been delivered, and Gege tried a bottle himself just now."
As she spoke, she took a nine-pack of allicin from the plate Wu Yingxiong was holding, and placed it in front of Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui smiled and took out one casually, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Sizhen is a good girl, what about her?"
Chen Yuanyuan took out a special T-shaped corkscrew, carefully used it to pull out the cork plugged in the mouth of the porcelain bottle, and said with a smile: "I am helping in the small kitchen. I am boiling your favorite fish soup. Let her watch it for me for a while... Don't worry, she's fine."
"Oh, that's good." Wu Sangui responded, picked up the porcelain bottle that Chen Yuanyuan opened, drank the golden garlic juice inside, and then said to Chen Yuanyuan with a smile, "The medicine is finished...you can have dinner Yet?"
Chen Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, dinner will be served right away!"
Both Fang Guangchen and Wang Shirong got up to leave knowingly, but Wu Sangui didn't want to keep him - after all, he was going to be at the same table with Chen Yuanyuan and Kong Sizhen later, and it was really inconvenient for these two outsiders.
The family banquet started soon, the dishes were very simple, some vegetables that Chen Yuanyuan likes to eat.A large bowl of fish soup is made from boiled fresh fish, which is common in Jiangling. It is very delicious... Wu Sangui is forbidden to eat meat because of his poor stomach, so he can only drink some fish soup to satisfy his cravings.Because of Wu Yingxiong's arrival, the kitchen also served a white chicken, a plate of mutton, and a bowl of mutton soup.
Both Wu Yingxiong and Kong Sizhen felt a little heavy, and they had nothing to say when eating, they just ate with their heads covered.
And Wu Sangui seemed to understand their feelings. Wu Yingqi's victory in Henan was really not a good thing for them!
So Wu Sangui didn't say anything, just cared about eating fish and drinking soup, two bowls of fish soup seemed a little wrong!
There was a numbness in the lips, tongue, and fingers, and a little nausea. I wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit!
How is this going?
Just when he was feeling strange, he suddenly heard Kong Sizhen yelling: "Toxic..."
After shouting this, Kong Sizhen's whole body was wrong, her face was pale, and she slumped on the chair, falling into a coma.
"Sizhen!"
"poisonous!"
"Come on people!"
The hall suddenly became chaotic, and Wu Sangui saw Wu Yingxiong rushing to pinch Kong Sizhen among the people, Chen Yuanyuan screamed loudly, and a maidservant beside him was calling for someone.
But he, Wu Sangui... was getting more and more paralyzed, he couldn't move his whole body, and he wanted to call out, but he couldn't!
Wu Sangui knew that he was also poisoned!Was he poisoned to death by the treacherous villain Zhu Heqi...Dead?Is it really going to die?
Feelings of panic rushed towards him from all directions!He really wanted to call for help, but he couldn't!
Afterwards, Wu Sangui fell into a coma and fell unconscious!
Chapter 465
The second year of Zhaowu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, January 23, at noon.
A generation of traitors, Wu Sangui, the president of the Great Zhou Dynasty, finally finished his sinful and ups and downs life. He was poisoned and died in Lie Cuixuan, his presidential palace, and died!
The high-ranking officials of Wu and Zhou who are currently in Jiangling include Wu Sangui's two sons-in-law Xia Guoxiang and Guo Zhuangtu, Wu Sangui's confidants Fang Guangchen, Wang Shirong, Wan Sitong, Lu Yifeng, Hong Shiming and others, as well as Wu Sangui's generals Wang Gongliang, Ba Yangyuan, Wang Xu and others were all urgently summoned to the presidential palace.
And when these people arrived at the Presidential Palace, the sound of crying had already come from Wu Sangui's bedroom.This group of people already knew that Wu Sangui had been poisoned, and now they heard the cry again, their hearts skipped a beat, and they all squeezed into President Wu's spacious and somewhat outrageous bedroom, regardless of asking for instructions.
After entering the dormitory, they saw Wu Yingxiong, the president's wife Zhang Shi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Wu Shilin who was left by Wu Sangui's side to teach him, all crying bitterly beside Wu Sangui's bed.
And Wu Sangui himself was lying on the bed upright, motionless... It seemed that he was out of breath.
Now the big guys are all impatient, and they immediately started bluffing.
"What's wrong with the President?"
"My lord, the President..."
"This, this, what's going on here?"
"Who did it?"
Wu Sangui's eldest wife, Mrs. Zhang, and his youngest wife, Chen Yuanyuan, were in tears. The elder son, Wu Yingxiong, was also distraught. He almost fainted from crying and couldn't answer.Only Wu Sangui's grandson, Wu Shilin, was still awake, gritted his teeth, looked sad and annoyed, and said word by word: "Zhu Heqi must have poisoned it! He put it in the garlic medicine that grandpa took." Poisoned..."
"What?" Guo Zhuangtu was shocked when he heard the words, "Didn't someone arrange a drug test?"
"It's been arranged!" Wu Shilin said, "Madam Sun, who is in charge of buying garlic medicine, tested the poison herself... She was also poisoned and unconscious, and the doctor of the presidential palace is still helping her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing Wu Zhou's blue official uniform, had already trotted in. After entering, he knelt down to Wu Yingxiong who was still crying there: "My lord, Mrs. Sun is already awake."
Wu Yingxiong ignored him, but continued to be sad.
Wu Shilin asked: "Have you found out what poison it is?"
"Reporting to Eldest Young Master, most of Mrs. Sun are poisoned by puffer fish!"
Wu Shilin asked again: "Do you know where the fugu poison comes from?"
The doctor said: "You guys found puffer fish poison in the half bottle of garlic medicine Mrs. Sun drank..."
"Why is there still half a bottle left?" Wu Yingxiong suddenly interjected at this moment.
"Reporting to my son," said the doctor, "the garlic medicine has a strong garlic taste, it's really not very tasty..."
"Hmph! It's all the fault of this bitch!" Wu Yingxiong roared angrily, "Come here! Take that bitch Kong Sizhen into...Jiangling Mansion!"
Lu Yifeng quickly replied: "The minister is here!"
"That bitch Kong Sizhen will be handed over to you for interrogation! Take her back to the Jiangling government office and torture her however you want!" Wu Yingxiong gritted his teeth and said, "Because this bitch deserves to die... After the real culprit is found out, no matter whether she participated or not Among them, she must be executed!"
Lu Yifeng said solemnly: "Please rest assured, my son, I will definitely find out the real culprit!"
Wu Yingxiong said again: "You send people to seal up Kong Sizhen's mansion again, the servant who went to Nanjing to buy garlic medicine for Kong Sizhen is still in her mansion!"
"The minister leads the order!"
Lu Yifeng received Wu Yingxiong's order, and immediately went to arrest Kong Sizhen, and arranged for people to go to Kong Sizhen's residence to arrest him.
Seeing Lu Yifeng leave quickly, the Wu and Zhou ministers who were present all felt a little sympathetic to Kong Sizhen... Although this girl is not very feminine, she is still a very good person. I am willing to help others to blow air beside Wu Yingxiong's pillow.
I didn't expect to get into such a disaster... I don't know if Wu Yingxiong will really kill her?
When everyone was sympathizing with Kong Sizhen, Hong Shiming suddenly reminded: "If the President was really killed by Zhu Heqi, then he will definitely take the opportunity to march into Wuchang and Hanyang... Now our elite soldiers are all in Henan, and only Wuchang and Hanyang It is too dangerous to be stationed by more than ten thousand naval troops led by General Hu!"
When everyone heard this, they also felt that the problem was a bit serious, and they all turned their attention to Wu Yingxiong. The atmosphere became extremely tense!
Wu Yingxiong wiped away his tears, and said to his brother-in-law Xia Guoxiang: "Guoxiang, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War, and you are good at planning... Tell me, what should you do now?"
Xia Guoxiang was only concerned about sadness just now, but now he was reminded by Hong Shiming, and his brows were frowned, "Now the army is in Henan, and the troops in Hubei are empty.
However, we have set up four fortresses along the Yangtze River: Fankou, Huanggang, Shakou, and Qingshan.If the Ming army came with bright swords and spears, the four fortresses combined would be enough to hold them back for a month or two, and then the Second Young Master's army would come back... Now I'm afraid that the Ming army will take advantage of the chaos and sneak attack! "
Wu Yingxiong immediately ordered, "Then immediately martial law and block the Yangtze River waterway!"
At this time, Fang Guangchen said to Wu Yingxiong again: "My lord, the Jiangling mansion has completed the equalization of land...and set up [-] military mansions, each of which has two thousand strong men. If one of the six men is drawn, it will be enough You can mobilize [-] government soldiers."
Juntian in Jiangling was completed under the auspices of Wu Yingxiong, the Prime Minister of Zhou, and he promoted the school captains of the [-]th Army Mansion below one by one.So the Jiangling Mansion soldiers are the most reliable armament in Wu Yingxiong's hands... But Wu Sangui doesn't think much of the Jiangling Mansion soldiers, he thinks they are a group of ordinary people.
