The possible rebellion of the Chahar people in Guihua City was calmed down by the gentle breeze and clear clouds with Lin Zhao's gentle hand.
But Lin Zhao was not in a hurry to go back.
The governor of Suiyuan and the commander-in-chief of Suiyuan were both cowardly and incompetent people. They did not dare to challenge Kobdo at the top and did not train the soldiers well at the bottom. As a result, the hearts of the emperor and the people were not with the Zhou Dynasty.
What is the use of such a minister?
Therefore, Lin Zhao personally took charge of Guihua City and took control of the local army. At the same time, he sent a document to the capital to inform him of the detailed situation here. At the same time, he asked the emperor to arrange for new officials to take office as soon as possible, and the new commander-in-chief of Suiyuan should be young and capable.
To be good at military service.
Of course, Lin Zhao secretly gave Emperor Xiaode a secret, telling Emperor Xiaode that the reason why Kobdo was so domineering was because he was the largest powerful landowner in Suiyuan Province and occupied dozens of fertile lands.
Wanqing, please ask the emperor to send his ministers to occupy it.
Emperor Xiaode was a man of great talent and strategy, and his understanding of wealth was naturally better than others.
If the emperor owned fertile land on the frontier, there would be a conflict of interest in developing the frontier.
There was nothing unusual on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, but well-informed people in Guihua City knew that Lin Zhao, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, showed up in Guihua City last night and ordered the governor of Suiyuan, the Suiyuan commander-in-chief, and the Suiyuan deputy commander-in-chief.
There was a meeting at Jinyiwei Qianhu Station, and everyone went.
Everyone also knows that Kobdo sings and dances.
Everyone was astonished. They must know that although Lin Zhao is a loyal uncle, he is only the commander of the Imperial Guard of the third rank, but the governor is the second rank, the general soldier is the second rank, and Kobdo's deputy chief soldier is
Also from the second grade.
But he didn't expect that all those above him would obey orders obediently.
However, everyone also understood that Khovd had completely surrendered and the situation had completely stabilized.
The governor Chen Yunzai and the commander-in-chief Zhao Hui immediately wanted to send their personal guards to search the house. After all, the Ke family was too fat and they were unwilling to take a bite.
You must know that Khovd is a powerful Chahar in Guihua City. He occupies about 60% of the fertile land near Guihua City. In addition, his family controls the local business sources, which can be said to be very profitable.
But after hearing Lin Zhao's treatment, they had no choice but to go back angrily, and they could only be unwilling to do so. The current emperor is not the fool who was trapped in the Forbidden City in the Ming Dynasty. He dared to compete with the emperor for profit. He was really impatient.
.
What's more, they wouldn't dare to do it even if they wanted to, because most of the power in the city is now controlled by Lin Zhao.
"The Jin Yi Guards will be followed by fifty people. Don't interfere with these general guards if their hands are unclean, but don't do anything harmful to nature. Anyone who dares to intensify conflicts will be beheaded!"
After Lin Zhao returned to the Qianhu Yamen of Jinyiwei, he immediately ordered his men to lead the local generals and inspect the castles outside Guihua City. He wanted these generals to have a good exchange with the local tycoons and not to allow them to cause trouble by making any changes.
, but this is also a simple matter. The generals of the General Army cannot defeat Khovd's servants, but there is still no problem in dealing with such local tyrants.
"You arrange for someone to go to the Ke family, get all the land deeds of the Ke family, and tell him that those properties will be the imperial village in the future. From now on, the family members of the Ke family can be royal tenants. Even if they cannot become the overlords of the general army, they will still be wealthy."
Lin Zhao said to Zhang Shiqiang.
Zhang Shiqiang quickly agreed to do it.
By the time he came back from his errands, his mentality had completely changed. Before when he came to Guihua City, not to mention the arrogant and domineering Ke family, the governor, the general soldier, and even the Qianhu at the garrison had never looked at him. Now, everyone
On the other hand, Zhang Shiqiang was extremely excited and admired Lin Zhao endlessly. He was determined to follow Lin Zhao forever in order to always be so decent.
Everyone has been at a loss for so long. Lin Zhao has only been here a few days, but he only fought a few times, and it was solved in such an understatement. As expected, the capable have their own merits.
"I will leave more than a hundred elite soldiers here. You have to manage them well. Through them, you can recruit more people, preferably Han people. Through these one hundred people, you will train three to five thousand strong soldiers.
, Don’t worry about money matters, I have already submitted a memorial to Your Majesty, and if everything goes well, part of the income from the Imperial Manor will be left to the Jinyi Guards to monitor the entire Guihua City, which is Suiyuan."
Lin Zhao went straight to the point and ordered Zhang Shiqiang.
After all, after the new governor and commander-in-chief are in place, they will still attach importance to promoting Chahar forces to stabilize the situation in the face of the complicated border situation.
Therefore, there must be enough power to suppress the generals of Chahar, so that they will always be wary, and at the same time, they can defend the imperial village.
This can improve the status of Jinyiwei in Emperor Xiaode's heart.
"Can you do this?"
Zhang Shiqiang pondered for a moment, saluted solemnly and said:
"Please rest assured that the food and salary will be sufficient, and we will use Yangzhou's training methods to ensure that they will be loyal to the end."
"You have gathered so many people. In addition to protecting the Imperial Village and monitoring the safety of Guihua City, you have another task to remember."
"Please tell me!"
"In order to have a detailed grasp of the dynamics of various ministries on the grassland!"
Lin Zhao said calmly.
Zhang Shiqiang bowed and agreed.
"On the 15th day of the first lunar month, I will have a grand banquet with all parties in Suiyuan. Please make a list and invite all the generals in Suiyuan Province, the powerful locals, and the people who have strong appeal in the local area."
Let the news out, and those who don't come will be punished!" Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and spoke again.
Invitations began to be distributed widely on the fifth day of the first lunar month. Suiyuan was a border town. According to the standards mentioned by Lin Zhao, there should be a lot of people invited, but in fact there were not many.
After all, Suiyuan Province is vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many truly powerful people.
But Lin Zhao was overly worried.
I haven't received any unanswered posts at all.
Even if I didn't receive the post, I was always worried, fearing that I would become Lin Zhao's next Kobdo.
Thinking about Kobu Duoduo's tyrannical strength, how glorious it was at the beginning, but after Lin Zhao came, he collapsed before the end of the year.
At this moment, the news about Jingguan left by Lin Zhao on the grassland has spread to all places, and everyone is extremely shocked.
Unexpectedly, the Jin Yiwei, with 500 men, killed all the tribesmen who had robbed the merchants and built the capital.
How powerful is this fighting power?
They only injured a servant of the Ke family, which was too merciful.
In the face of such power, who dares to move, who is still trembling with fear, and those who did not receive the invitation thought that they would be the next to be liquidated.
So many of them felt that they were powerful, so they all came to the door with heavy gifts, asking for nothing more than the qualification to participate in this banquet.
Lin Zhao didn't care about this, it was just a matter of adding a few tables and chairs.
So on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, all the powerful men in Suiyuan came to the Jinyiwei Qianhu Residence in Guihua City to attend a banquet hosted by Lin Zhao.
