Regarding the wedding, Mrs. Xinchanghou will go into the palace to discuss with Mrs. Shifei Wang. All the rules will be determined by the palace and the chamberlain. Han Qian, Li Zhigao and Li Chong accompanied Yang Yuanpu to chat with each other, and then left.
leave.
"You have been really attentive in teaching His Highness during this period of time." After leaving Xiaoxiang Pavilion and heading to the front yard along the side road, Li Chong couldn't help complaining angrily.
Han Qian saw Li Zhigao's gloomy look and couldn't guess what he was thinking. He pondered for a moment and said: "I told Your Highness that one hundred people are loyal to Xinchanghou Mansion and Xinchang Hou Mansion is loyal to His Highness. There is a difference between one hundred people being directly loyal to Your Highness."
Differences and the like, but don’t forget that His Majesty will not be bullied!"
Seeing that Han Qian openly admitted that he had sowed discord in front of the third prince, Li Chong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
However, Li Zhigao pulled Li Chong and told him not to get angry with Han Qian, and said: "Han Qian is right. Your Majesty founded the Great Chu and has great ambitions. In recent years, he has been aiming to prevent the generals from taking power. If you really see Longque
When the army is formed, everyone from top to bottom will be members of my Xinchanghou Mansion. At that time, some of the generals will either be forcibly dismissed, or there will be more hesitation when considering the third prince."
Han Qian smiled inwardly, thinking that they still underestimated Emperor Tianyou. If he were Emperor Tianyou, even if he was not aware of Wan Honglou's conspiracy, he was truly determined to support the third prince Yang Yuanpu to succeed to the throne. After the Dragon Bird Army truly formed a fighting force,
No matter what, we must first find a way to kill both Li Pu and his son, and let Shen Yang take charge of the army.
However, since Li Zhigaoneng already had this level of understanding, it was obviously beyond the reach of Li Chong. It is no wonder that although he is an adopted son, he has much greater decision-making power than Li Chong in the Xinchang Hou Mansion.
Hearing what Li Zhigao said, Li Chong had no way to vent his anger on Han Qian.
"Marquis Yu is a really understanding person. If you discuss anything with Marquis Yu in the future, you won't be afraid of making mistakes," Han Qian said.
Li Chong turned his head and looked away.
"I sincerely hope that you can take charge of the Secret Service. The Secret Service will be kept in a dark place and will not be made public. You don't have to worry about being unable to explain yourself in front of Master Han." Li Zhigao stared at Han Qian and said.
"I can't command the manpower of Wanhonglou and Xinchanghou Mansion." Han Qian also spoke openly.
"The children of the Han family soldiers have been sneaking to the prefectures and counties for training during this period. Does Mr. Han need to use our manpower to form a secret cavalry?" Li Zhigao broke the news and showed that they were not interested in Han Qian's private actions.
Didn't notice.
After the soldiers' children received six or seven months of preliminary training, Han Qian arranged for them to disperse to nearby states and counties for nearly a month to inquire about and collect information on the customs, topography, and market prices of products.
On the one hand, the children of family soldiers need practical experience before they can really grow up quickly. He has neither the patience nor the time to let them study in the house for three to five years before letting them out.
Even if his father is not stubborn, it is already the thirteenth year of Tianyou. Emperor Tianyou still has four good years to live. By then, the third prince Yang Yuanpu, the prince, and King Xin will see blood if there is no blood. Jiang Huai will be there at any time.
It may be completely rotten.
No matter what, if he wants to have a certain ability to protect himself, it is impossible to train his soldiers' children in a step-by-step manner.
Han Qian's personal energy is limited, and it is impossible for him to travel all over Jianghuai Prefecture and County in a short time. If he wants to have a more accurate control of the situation in Chu State, he must rely on his family soldiers to collect information for him.
When collecting information on property market prices, Han Qian mainly wanted to compare the market prices of properties in Jinling and look for business opportunities there.
At that time, there was no patent awareness at all. Seeing that the profits from burning lime were huge, the two grandsons Zhang Qian and Guo Liang also built stoves and burned stone in Taowu. I don’t know if it was Li Chong and Chai Jian.
During this period of time, he intended to make friends with Zhang Qian and Guo Liang, and instigated them to do this behind his back.
Burning lime does not have much technical content. Once many people get involved, the profits that can be made will become increasingly thin. Although there are no more people in the villa, there is no place to buy horses, soldiers and armor and hire craftsmen to build some special equipment.
There was no need to spend money, so Han Qian could only find other ways to raise money.
But he didn't expect that Wan Honglou and Xinchang Houfu were keeping an eye on him more closely than he imagined.
Han Qian's piercing eyes were fixed on Li Zhigao. He had a high regard for Li Zhigao, but how could Li Zhigao have the confidence to convince Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, and the woman in black gauze to let him take charge of the company?
Wan Honglou has been lurking in the dark all these years. He should know the importance of mastering a secret force. When, or what happened, did they suddenly become so trusting of him?
Han Qian pondered for a while and decided to tell Li Zhigao something: "Marquis Yu wants me to do more, I dare not shirk it, but Marquis Yu must also understand that if the Marquis government does not use all the power it has, it will
It is impossible to gain trust. Not to mention His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine, His Majesty is smart and has a will that is beyond the reach of others. If Marquis Li and his wife really want to succeed, they should convince His Majesty that His Majesty has the ability to control the Dragon Bird Army.
, we will allocate more resources step by step in the future. Otherwise, His Highness will always be a chess piece that is not taken seriously."
"..." Li Zhigao pondered for a while and then said to Li Chong, "Han Qian and I will go to Wanhong Mansion first. You can go back home and tell your father. We should give an answer to His Highness as soon as possible."
Li Chong was reluctant in every possible way, and felt that the Third Prince was being trained by Han Qian to a point beyond their control, but it was still up to his father and his wife to decide how to deal with the matter in the end.
Han Qian thought that with Li Pu's knowledge, as long as he talked clearly, he could still distinguish the important from the important. After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, he and Li Zhigao went to the Red Mansion in two separate ways.
After meeting Yao Xishui and Su Hongyu, they didn't stay in Yao Xishui's yard for long. Xinchang Hou Li Pu and his second son-in-law Chai Jian came directly with Li Chong.
The woman in black gauze did not appear. It was because things were delayed at this time, or she was not in Jinling City at this time. Yao Xishui and the others did not seem to want to explain to Han Qian.
After hearing Li Zhigao explain in detail what he had discussed with Han Qian before, Xinchang Hou Li Pu nodded and said:
"It may be suggested that His Highness's secretaries should be divided into left and right to join the army. At that time, Wanhonglou will organize two hundred households of refugees into the camp military mansion for management."
What Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, said was to expose the 200 elite forces they secretly controlled to the public, and to incorporate them into the camp military mansion as military households. The family's stay in the military mansion was actually of a "hostage" nature.
.
Han Qian did not think that this would be the last power secretly controlled by Wan Honglou and Xinchang Hou, but he estimated the scale of the industry controlled by Wan Honglou and Xinchang Hou, and guessed that even if they still had secret power in their hands, it would be limited.
"Haier suggested that Master Han should be appointed as the left military officer, but who is suitable for the right officer?" Li Zhigao asked. He still advocated using Han Qian for one of the positions, but he had not considered who to choose for the other.
"Come Chai Jian; then recommend Gao Chengyuan to fill the vacancy of the capital Yuhou!" Li Pu did not veto Han Qian's appointment as Secret Cao Zuosi to join the army, but he knew that unless they sent their direct relatives, no one could truly control this secret power.
And he didn't want to deal with the third prince Yang Yuanpu on this matter.
Han Qian's reminder is reasonable. They can deceive Yang Yuanpu when he is young, and they can deceive the imperial concubine into living in a palace, but if they want to deceive the emperor, they may be self-defeating.
And their current situation was actually based on Emperor Tianyou's belief that the third prince could do something. This was started by Han Qian's advice to the third prince Yang Yuanpu.
What they need to do now is to strengthen this foundation rather than destroy it.
Gao Chengyuan was originally a bodyguard around Emperor Tianyou. After the assassination, he was assigned by Emperor Tianyou to the third prince Yang Yuanpu as the deputy commander of the bodyguard battalion.
Recommending Gao Chengyuan to succeed Chai Jian as Du Yuhou not only showed that the Xinchang Hou Mansion had no ambition to specialize in the military power of the Dragon Bird Army, but also passed Gao Chengyuan on to pass on the achievements of the Dragon Bird Army to Emperor Tianyou, knowing that the third prince had indeed accomplished something.
Gao Chengyuan may not offend Anning Palace, but he will not betray Emperor Tianyou until Emperor Tianyou passes away.
Regarding this point, Xinchang Hou Li Pu still has confidence in Emperor Tianyou.
Thinking of this, Xinchang Marquis Lipu said to Han Qian again: "Secretary Cao has separated the left and right divisions. The left division will choose which manpower to use from the military households in the camp. You don't have to worry about Chai Jian, Chong'er will interfere with you!"
The foundation of the Longque Army is in the Tunying Military Mansion. In addition to the regular vacancies with official status and invited guest ministers and counselors, most of the low-level military attachés and soldiers in the Cao Division to which they belong must be selected from the Tunying Military Mansion;
If you want to select people from other places, the people and their families must also be integrated into the garrison military mansion.
Of course, Han Qian's private soldiers are exempt.
However, most of the time, in order to show their loyalty, the personal soldiers of the generals will be arranged to live together as close to the camp as possible.
At present, the Qiuhushan Villa is located within Taowu Ji, and the families of the Han family's soldiers are actually under the control of the Tunying Military Mansion. Li Pu is not worried about Han Qian recommending his soldiers to serve in the military.
They merge with each other, and in the end, the bigger one will always devour the smaller one.
When Han Qian saw that Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, did not object to Li Zhigao's recommendation to him at all and gave him such great power, he became more and more convinced that something had happened and said, "I can take charge of a company, and I will definitely not let you down in the future, but
I have a condition."
"What conditions?" Xinchang Hou Li Pu narrowed his eyes and stared at Han Qian and asked.
"Only when my father can become an official can I dare to do my best to serve His Highness." Han Qian said.
He was not as relaxed as he was here. Han Qian even made such a condition, and even emphasized that he would try his best to do things for the "Third Prince". Yao Xishui slightly narrowed his beautiful eyes, thinking that this guy is not afraid of being separated from him.
.
"I can only try my best to solve this matter..." Xinchang Hou Lipu said.
"It's all thanks to the Marquis." Seeing that the Marquis of Xinchang, Li Pu, did not object directly, Han Qian knew that there was some hope in this matter and thanked him.
In fact, Han Qian has been doing his father's work subtly since he was a child. He hopes that his father will have the opportunity to become an official, so that he will no longer be afraid...
