"Governor Gan Ning..." After reading the first secret decree sent by his subordinates, Zhang Zhongming couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed incredible expression.

As a former imperial official, Zhang Zhongming knew very well the position of the Governor of Ganning in the court.

It can be said that once I become the governor of Gan and Ning, and the two provinces of Gan and Ning are far from the imperial court, I will become the veritable local emperor of Gan and Ning provinces...

Therefore, the first time after reading the imperial edict, Zhang Zhongming was attracted by this huge bait.

After all, with his current identity and strength, it is not only not harmful to me, but also to be able to return to such a high official position. Why not do it?

However, this heartbeat did not last long and calmed down again.

At this moment, as long as you have a little rationality, you will know that the imperial edict for yourself at this time has only one purpose, that is, to treat yourself as a gun... to use yourself to fight against the Tiger and Leopard Army...

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Zhang Zhongming's face as soon as he touched it.

He asked directly to his former subordinates: "Governor Gan Ning, this official position is indeed very attractive... But I don't know if I have the ability to block the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army against Ningxia and be this Governor Gan Ning alive..."

The potential meaning in Zhang Zhongming's words is very obvious, that is, he already knows the purpose of the imperial court's plan to kill people with a knife...but, the official position of the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi is too low, and there is no substantial meaning...

If the court sent to contact Zhang Zhongming, this former subordinate is not a fool...

So, as soon as Zhang Zhongming finished his words, his former subordinates quickly answered: "General, please rest assured, as long as you receive the order, return to the court, and serve as the governor of Ganning... The court will definitely support you unconditionally to block the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army..."

This is what Zhang Zhongming wants...

So, as soon as the other party finished speaking, Zhang Zhongming said affirmatively: "Since that's the case, I will receive the order. From now on, I will be the Governor of Gan Ning of the court... Of course, if the court cannot fulfill its promise to me, don't blame me for being rude..."

Seeing that things were going in the direction you expected, the face of the imperial messenger standing in front of you was immediately covered with a smile...

He quickly took out the second one, and Nai arrived at the third imperial edict and delivered it to Zhang Zhongming.

After reading the contents of these two imperial edicts, the smile on Zhang Zhongming's face became even stronger.

Although he knew that in order to deal with the Tiger and Leopard Army and treat himself as a gun, the court would definitely give himself some benefits and benefits.

However, what Zhang Zhongming did not expect was that this benefit was so great...

The court, which has always been stingy, suffered such heavy bleeding in order to deal with the Tiger and Leopard Army, which was completely beyond Zhang Zhongming's expectations.

When Zhang Zhongming learned from the other party that the benefits promised by the court could be reached in his hands within five days at the latest, he was excited and laughed out loud... and then he said arrogantly.

"As long as the court fulfills its promise... I, Zhang Zhongming, promised that I, will protect the Gansu and Ning provinces for the court..."

Five days later, Zhang Zhongming, who was full of anticipation, received a gift of 500,000 taels of silver, 50,000 dan of grain, and a certain amount of firearm equipment from the court as promised...

Zhang Zhongming, who had never been so rich, had the first thought of expanding his army when facing the Tiger and Leopard Army that was about to enter Ningxia.

Of course, as a veteran, Zhang Zhongming also knew that even if the temporarily expanded army was well-equipped, it could only be used to scare people...

It really comes to the battlefield. These newly expanded troops have only one ending, that is, the battlefield defeat...

Therefore, Zhang Zhongming did not set his target on ordinary people who had already lost 20 to 30% of the two provinces.

In Gansu and Ning provinces, in addition to Zhang Zhongming and more than ten riot bandits destroyed by Zhang Zhongming, there are at least more than thirty bandits.

Although most of these bandits were mobs, they had no combat power.

However, no matter which bandit is, they have a certain proportion of elite troops. Otherwise, this bandit would have been engulfed by other bandits as they grew and grew...

What Zhang Zhongming likes is the elite among these rioters...

In Zhang Zhongming's opinion, there is no problem in finding the elite of more than 100,000 or 20,000 elites.

Strengthen the 20,000 elite troops that I have expanded in more than ten days. When the Tiger and Leopard Army enters Ningxia, I will have 40,000 elite troops.

Although the weapons are not as good as the Tiger and Leopard Army, its military strength is more than twice that of the Tiger and Leopard Army...

How can we let these bandits hand over the elite to themselves and obey their commands...

Zhang Zhongming's method is very simple, that is, to spread silver and be appointed as an official... If you disagree, you will directly send troops to eliminate him and kill the chicken to scare the monkey...

The most important reason why there are so many rioters in Gansu and Ningxia is that droughts every year cause people to have no food...

Therefore, the reason why these bandits rebelled was very simple, that is, to fill their stomachs...

In this case, as long as you take out the money and food, and use your identity as Governor of Ganning to enthrone them and give them an official position. They will definitely give up their career as a bandit who may lose their heads at any time and use the money to be an official...

As for those who do not accept the title of official position, it means that these people have any plans...

As the future Governor of Ganning, Zhang Zhongming certainly did not want to see such rebellious people appearing within his jurisdiction.

Therefore, for these people, Zhang Zhongming's method is simpler, and he will directly send troops to eliminate them, killing the chicken to scare the monkey...

Zhang Zhongming was confident that with the eyes of the rioters in Gansu and Ning provinces, he only needed more than 100,000 taels of silver and tens of thousands of loads of food to buy them all, and let them obediently hand over the elite in their hands to him...

Do it as you say...

Zhang Zhongming, who had just received the silver and had not even realized the heat, took out 100,000 taels of grain and 5,000 dan of grain and distributed it to several of his confidant generals. He asked them to take the silver and grain to recruit soldiers...

It’s true that for these rioters who have never seen the world, the temptation of silver and food is nothing can match.

In less than five days, more than 20,000 elite troops came to Xining City one after another and reported to Zhang Zhongming.

Faced with increasingly urgent time, and facing the Tiger and Leopard Army that could enter Ningxia at any time.

Zhang Zhongming did not dare to be negligent at all. He almost equipped and trained an army.
