When Jia Ke heard that Wang Tao had made it so clear, he quickly expressed his position and said: "In Xuanfu Town, you still have to respect the adults. If anything happens in the future, just give your orders. I will naturally obey your orders."
Wang Tao listened to Jia Ke's statement and nodded with a smile on his face. Then he picked up a document from the desk next to him and handed it to Jia Ke.
Jia Ke took the document and looked at it carefully. It was Jia Ke's promotion document. The content of the document was that Jia Ke of Kaiping Guards Qianhu had repeatedly made military exploits, and the enemy could not enter the imperial guards. The Tatar Khan was forced to move north. The emperor's special decree
Jia Ke was transferred to guard Kaiping Town to guard against the northern Tatars.
After Jia Ke read the document, he stood up again to express his gratitude to Wang Tao.
Wang Tao stroked his beard and said to Jia Ke: "This time, the emperor has specially promoted Kaiping Guard to Kaiping Town. You must have insufficient men and horses now. I will transfer 8,000 people from various places for you. If there are still insufficient, you can do it yourself."
Recruiting a few hundred people is no big deal."
Jia Ke has indeed suffered a lot of losses in these battles with the Tatars. If he only had these 8,000 men, he would not be able to make up the 10,000. Now Wang Tao allowed himself to recruit several hundred more men, which would make up for his shortfall.
This is already a big favor.
Before Jia Ke could thank him, Wang Tao continued: "But these people are not elite soldiers on the battlefield, they are just ordinary soldiers in the rear. After they go, you have to train them well. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will ruin your career."
After hearing what he said, Jia Ke felt grateful to him from the bottom of her heart for the first time. I'm afraid I can't mention the past things anymore. Wang Tao regarded this matter as a complete success. It seemed that there was an expert's guidance behind it.
Jia Ke didn't know when these soldiers would be available, so it was better to ask for details, so he was cautiously asked: "Excuse me, sir, I don't know when these soldiers will be in place. I can train them as soon as possible so that they can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."
Wang Tao thought about it and said, "I am now starting to mobilize manpower and prepare food, grass and luggage. It will take a month to reach Kaiping Town."
After listening to Wang Tao's words, Jia Ke knew that it would only take that long. Wang Tao did not delay. He hurried up and saluted Wang Tao again, "Thank you for your help. I will remember your kindness."
Wang Tao hurried over to support him and said to him with satisfaction: "With you in the north, the Tatars will not dare to invade, so I feel relieved."
Jia Ke asked carefully: "Sir, I don't know whether I should wait in Xuanfu Town or go back to Kaiping Town first, and then send someone to bring the troops there."
Wang Tao smiled and said: "Brother, just go back and wait. When the troops are assembled, I will send people to Kaiping Town."
Jia Ke didn't expect such a good thing, and hurriedly thanked him again, and then said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you have helped me a lot this time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to upgrade several levels in a row. From now on, in the
I have to rely more on adults to take care of me in Xuanfu Town."
"Brother, you don't have to be polite. We will have more dealings with each other in the future. Let's take care of each other." Wang Tao said modestly.
Jia Ke asked again: "Sir, this time the Kaiping Guard generals all fought bravely to kill the enemy and made many military exploits. I don't know how to reward them."
Wang Tao said with a smile: "You don't need to report these things to me, just draw up a list and send it over.
Only then did Jia Ke feel truly at ease. His lower-ranking brothers followed him in a bloody struggle. If he only got promoted, they would have nothing to worry about. Who would follow him in the future?
Jia Ke exchanged greetings with Wang Tao for a few more words, then stood up and left. Wang Tao sent him outside the Jiedu Envoy's residence before going back.
Wang Tao returned to the study again. There was an extra person in the study, it was Gao Hong.
Wang Tao was not surprised when he saw Gao Hong. He sat directly on the chair behind the desk and waved his hand for Gao Hong to sit down too.
After Gao Hong sat down, he sat down on the chair below Wang Tao.
When Wang Tao saw Gao Hong sitting down, he asked, "Do you think this Jia Ke is sincere or is he just perfunctory?"
With a smile on his face, Gao Hong said respectfully to Wang Tao: "I also heard what he said just now. At first, he might have been perfunctory with you, but later he sincerely thanked you. It seems that he and you have settled the old grudge.
"
Wang Tao breathed a sigh of relief and said to Gao Hong relaxedly: "This time the difficulty is over, thanks to Mr.'s guidance, otherwise I would have been in jail. It was really dangerous."
Gao Hong was not so optimistic, and said to Wang Tao: "Your Excellency, please do not take it lightly. Although your Excellency has taken refuge with Mr. Wang Ziteng, you have completely offended the civil servants. You should be careful now. If those people make a mistake, they will put you to death."
.”
Wang Tao felt a little hesitant after hearing his words, "Will there be constant trouble in the future?
Gao Hong immediately said to him, "Sir, don't worry too much. We have Prince Teng Wang above us now. He will definitely work for you. After all, your current status is not trivial, and you can be considered a member of Lord Wang's camp."
General, Lord Wang will not give up on you easily."
When Wang Tao heard Gao Hong's analysis, he immediately became elated and said to Gao Hong excitedly: "Your strategy is far-reaching. From now on, we will have a backer in the court. Since I joined the army, I have fought hundreds of battles, big and small, and have gone deep into the Tatars several times."
In the hinterland, this is how we created this Jiedu Envoy. Only you know the dangers involved. If you hadn't made suggestions for me, I would not be where I am today."
When Gao Hong heard Wang Tao's heartfelt words, some of the complaints in his heart had disappeared. He immediately stood up and said to Wang Tao: "Your Excellency, you have supported me since I was young and obeyed your advice. That's why I am where I am today. Even if I die, I will never be able to repay you, Sir."
It really embarrasses me to say that.”
Wang Tao burst out laughing at this time, stood up, turned around the desk, came to Gao Hong, took his hand and said with a smile: "You and I are brothers, and we will share wealth from now on, but with me, Wang Tao,
I will never miss you Gao Hong."
After saying that, he shouted outside: "Wang Gui, you damn slave, if you don't come in yet, I have something to give you."
As soon as he finished shouting these words, a steward with a round head came in. When he saw Wang Tao, he quickly asked, "What is the master's order for the slave to come in?"
Hong Tao said to him: "How is the courtyard on the west side of the city?"
Wang Gui said with a smile on his face: "The master asked me to clean it up a few days ago. I have sent people to clean it inside and out. All the furniture has been replaced with new ones, and all the furnishings have been completed."
Wang Tao nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered him: "Arrange for more than a dozen families to come over, so that the new master can be taken care of when he comes."
After giving instructions to the housekeeper, Wang Tao turned around and said to Gao Hong: "Brother Xian, this courtyard will be yours from now on. Brother, in Xuanfu Town, we only have one small house. How can we accommodate many people? Now brother Xian can
Take your father and wife with you to share the glory."
When Gao Hong heard that Wang Tao had given him such a big gift, he did not refuse and thanked Wang Tao directly. When Wang Tao saw him accepting the gift, the smile on his face became brighter and he immediately ordered the butler, "Send Mr. Gao to that courtyard.
Good arrangement,"
Gao Hong thanked him profusely and went out under the leadership of the housekeeper. He accepted this gift just to make Wang Tao feel at ease and to be tied to Wang Tao with a rope from now on.
When Wang Tao saw Gao Hong go out, he slumped down on the chair and wiped the sweat from his head, thinking that he had passed the test this time. It seemed that Gao Hong still had to use it, and he knew the horse power from a long distance, so we would see each other over time.
People's hearts are most tested at critical moments.
This time I encountered a problem. None of the cleaning staff around me noticed the danger. If it weren't for Gao Hong's alertness, he would be in jail now.
Although I used Gao Hong in the past, I was not at ease. From this incident, it seems that Gao Hong is loyal to me. I also need to win over him more. I am afraid that Gao Hong is the only one who is really capable around me, and the other staff are not.
It's just for casual use, so it's completely useless when something happens.
