Wu Shigong's intention is very clear, that is, he will give Ruan Dacheng 10,000 acres of land. Of course, if Ruan Dacheng wants to continue to buy bonds, he can also go to the stock exchange to buy them, and Wu Shigong will not object.
Wu Shigong's subtext is very clear: Our Runing Army needs your support, Ruan Dacheng, and is interested in your reputation, so we want to recruit you. The method of recruitment is also very simple, which is to spend a lot of money on horse bones. It is not just a thousand gold to buy horse bones, but ten thousand gold.
, tens of thousands of gold, Ruan Dacheng must be captured. Of course, Ruan Dacheng can also refuse, but once he refuses, he and Runing Army will have no future.
Now that it has developed, the Runing Army can no longer hide its capabilities and bide its time, otherwise it will be self-defeating because it cannot explain why it defeated the Qing army that entered the pass. In this case, the Runing Army will become famous and use its reputation to attract
To acquire talents and money from all over the world, the most common way is undoubtedly to have famous people invest.
As for Ruan Dacheng, no matter how bad his reputation among scholars is, he is definitely famous all over the world and has a wide range of connections. For Wu Shigong, these are actually enough, and he will not care about Ruan Dacheng's reputation at all.
.
Moreover, Wu Shigong also has his own pride. He would not do anything like what is described in the novel, such as visiting the thatched cottage or lowering his status in order to get famous people. If he is seeking famous people in this way, how should he arrange it?
Where are their positions in the Runing Army? If they are placed too high, how can they appease the old man Ma who has been following Wu Shigong?
Besides, Wu Shigong has been cultivating his own civil service system for seven or eight years. He has a certain reserve of personnel and has formed a relatively mature civil service system. It is good to have more celebrities, but it does not matter if there are no celebrities. Therefore, Wu Shigong also
Why bother to accommodate Ruan Dacheng?
So in today's conversation, although Wu Shigong's words were polite, the content was very realistic. What he meant was: I will give you Ruan Dacheng benefits, and Ruan Dacheng will sell the right to use your reputation to Runing Army. As for whether Ruan Dacheng is willing to stay
Runing assists Wu Shigong, and whether he is willing to work for the Runing Army is up to him. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that after being happy to assist, Wu Shigong will introduce Ruan Dacheng into the core circle of the Runing Army.
Ruan Dacheng certainly understood the meaning of Wu Shigong's words. To be honest, he was a little disappointed. Before Ruan Dacheng met Wu Shigong, he thought very highly of himself. He thought that once his identity was revealed, Wu Shigong would bow down in every possible way and be respectful. But there was no such thing.
Thinking that Wu Shigong turned this meeting into a naked exchange of interests, Ruan Dacheng felt very uncomfortable.
Although Wu Shigong gave Ruan Dacheng considerable benefits, the Ruan family was also a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River and had no shortage of money. The only thing that attracted Ruan Dacheng was to be an official or a high-ranking official. So this result did not achieve Ruan Dacheng's psychological goal. Fortunately,
Ruan Dacheng is not a man of backbone and principle, and he will not leave because of Wu Shigong's attitude. So in the end, the meeting between the two ended in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere.
As soon as Ruan Dacheng left, Deng Qifan, who had been staying behind to listen to the conversation, came to the living room. He smiled and joked to Wu Shigong: "Chang Jing! You are a bit disrespectful to Mr. Yuan Hai like this, and you are not being polite to a virtuous corporal."
Wu Shigong waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "Now the Runing Army can't just come and go wherever it wants, so we should have the confidence. There are many people in the world who are asking for our Runing Army, and
We, the Runing Army, have no demands on them, even Jiangnan scholars are no exception. Mr. Yuan Hai can figure it out best. Can’t figure it out? There are others!"
After hearing this, Deng Qifan immediately burst into laughter. Seeing that the Runing Army has grown from small to large, from weak to strong, and now has become a force that cannot be ignored in the world, Deng Qifan, as the highest civilian official of the Runing Army, felt
A great sense of satisfaction and achievement.
"So where are the Fujian Zheng guerrillas still hanging out?" After laughing, Deng Qifan continued to ask.
"The Zheng family is the king and hegemon at sea. They have always had smooth sailing, but they are so stupid that they dare to use tricks on our Runing army. If we don't respond this time, they will simply turn the world upside down."
Wu Shigong said.
Zheng Zhilong was greatly shocked to learn that Runing's army had won a great victory this time. Although the Zheng family's fleet was already outstanding on the seas of East Asia, Zheng Zhilong, as the leader, had no ambitions. He just wanted to make money all the time.
, earn more money, live a life of luxury and luxury, and be content to be a local emperor on the coast of Fujian.
Therefore, Zheng Zhilong's vision determines his behavior. It stands to reason that Zheng Zhilong is at sea and Wu Shigong is in Henan. The two of them cannot threaten each other at present. Moreover, Wu Shigong still needs Zheng Zhilong's support at sea and in Taiwan, but Zheng Zhilong has no place.
Wu Shigong needs to be used. Therefore, the cooperation between these two people should give Zheng Zhilong more confidence.
But now Zheng Zhilong does not want to become an independent king overseas, and is unwilling to leave his hometown and leave Fujian. What is even more "unfortunate" is that Zheng Zhilong is also very discerning. He saw the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty and judged that it might be the era of dynasty change. This
This made Zheng Zhilong think about betting on the world and rely on one party.
So Zheng Zhilong accepted Xiong Wencan's recruitment and became a military attache of the Ming Dynasty, and maintained a good relationship with powerful figures in the Ming Dynasty such as Wu Shigong. But Zheng Zhilong also did business with the Manchus outside the customs and maintained a good relationship.
If the journey hadn't been too far, maybe Zheng Zhilong would have established contact with Li Zicheng, the leaders of the peasant army.
Originally, because Wu Shigong took the initiative to fight against the Qing army this time, Zheng Zhilong thought that the future of the Runing army was not good, so he was ready to give up on Wu Shigong. However, he did not expect that the Runing army actually won a great victory. This made Zheng Zhilong surprised to find: There was a possibility.
The power that seizes the world is always by his side! And he also made a move to give up this power. This made Zheng Zhilong immediately calm down.
So Zheng Jiao, the head of the Zheng family in Nanjing, immediately prepared generous gifts and went straight to Runing, hoping to eliminate the "misunderstanding" with Wu Shigong and close the relationship between the two families again.
But how could Wu Shigong let the Zheng family go so easily? He was poaching himself. If it weren't for the fact that they were too far apart, and if there wasn't still a place where he could get to the Zheng family, Wu Shigong might have started a war with the Zheng family.
"Thank you! It's never too late to go too far!" Deng Qifan reminded.
Wu Shigong immediately nodded to Deng Qifan and said: "I know this! I know this! The Zheng family is still needed for the Denglai Pier. The goal of our Runing Army is also to first go north and then south, first land and then sea, so I don't
I know how to be impulsive, and I will hold back my tone and make good friends with the Zheng family first. But let them hang out for a few days, let them know the attitude of our Runing Army, and prevent the Zheng family from doing stupid things again." (To be continued, please search Piao.
