Chapter 295 Feng Shui takes turns
At this moment, after Li Jiang had finished speaking, seeing that Zhang Zhiqing hadn't made a statement, he continued: "My lord, Marshal Zhang said that after the matter is completed, you will be the governor of Lingnan Province and the governor of the province, and you will be granted the title." The military rank is General Zhangwu!"
Zhang Zhiqing's breathing gradually became short of breath, even though he knew in his heart that this matter was very risky, after all, no one knew who would win and who would lose from the Zhifeng family.
Choosing whether to join the Feng family now is to gamble!
If he wins the bet, he will be able to control the military and political power of Lingnan Province and completely get rid of the identity of the puppet governor.
But if he loses the bet and is expelled from the stage, it's okay to say that if Lin Hongfei loses his temper, and he is not from the old Beiyang school, he may have to be shot!
Zhang Zhiqing was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and said: "Mr. Li, you are exhausted, you should go and have a rest first. I will reserve a private room in Juxing Building to clean up the dust for you in the evening!"
Li Jiang knew in his heart that Zhang Zhiqing had to think about it, so he wasn't in a hurry, anyway, he was not sure about attracting Zhang Zhiqing when he came to Lingnan Province this time.
Therefore, Li Jiang got up immediately and said: "Okay, then I won't bother you, and I'll have a drink with my grandpa in the evening!"
After all, Li Jiang went out and went to the inn in the city to rest under the leadership of the housekeeper of the Zhang residence.
After Li Jiang left, Zhang Zhiqing walked back and forth in the study, frowning tightly. Several times he seemed to have made up his mind, but immediately heaved a long sigh, and his heart continued to be anxious.
About half an hour later, Zhang Zhiqing suddenly called the butler into the study, and asked him to call several famous gentry in the city to his house immediately, saying that he had something important to discuss!
At this time, Zhang Zhiqing had already made up his mind to seek refuge in the Feng Clan. After so many years of being subservient to others, he really had had enough.
Since there is an opportunity now, why not take a gamble and turn around!
However, Zhang Zhiqing was not a young boy with a blank head. He alone, even with the support of the Feng family, he did not have the confidence to defeat Lin Hongfei.
Therefore, he had to win over several big local gentry in Dongjiang to gain their support.
If you want to fight the Jiangbei army, you can't do without soldiers!
Zhang Zhiqing has been the puppet governor of the province for so many years, and there is only a provincial guard with dozens of people on hand, which is not enough for the Jiangbei Army to fill his teeth!
Therefore, if you want to call up soldiers, you need the support of these gentry families with deep roots in Dongjiang.
Moreover, there are still several groups of powerful bandits entrenched in Dongjiang City and the neighboring Beishan City, and the Jiangbei Army has not wiped them out yet.
Naturally, Zhang Zhiqing had no way to contact these bandits, but those gentry families had a way. Even Zhang Zhiqing knew that the Han family, a gentry family in Dongjiang City, made their fortune by helping the bandits sell their stolen goods.
With the help of this group of people, Zhang Zhiqing's confidence can be increased a bit!
As for whether these big gentry would be willing to help him, Zhang Zhiqing was still very confident.
Seal the official and make a wish!
When He Taikang occupied Dongjiang, he was very wary of these gentry, and he always resisted these people's entry into the military and political circles.
The current Lin Hongfei is not much better. The core positions of the Dongjiang city government and the provincial government are all occupied by the Jiangbei army and Jiangbei military officers and civil officials. The gentry of Dongjiang city can't touch them at all!
Therefore, Zhang Zhiqing believes that as long as he assigns some key positions to these wealthy gentry, they will definitely choose to support him!
Sure enough, with the arrival of the patriarchs of the five gentry families in Dongjiang City, Zhang Zhiqing just briefly expressed his thoughts, and the five people eagerly agreed!
Han Wenkui from Dongjiang Han's family slammed the table and said, "Great, it's finally our Dongjiang people's turn in Lingnan Province!"
Mu Hongbin from the Mu family on the side said with a bit of anger: "The current provincial capital is almost becoming their Jiangbei people."
"Every time I go to the provincial government or the city government to do business, my ears and eyes speak Jiangbei dialect, and I feel uncomfortable listening to it!"
Han Wenkui looked at Zhang Zhiqing and said, "Grandpa, I won't say anything unnecessary. If there is a shortage of people or money, we will take care of it to the end!"
Everyone immediately agreed and decided to support Zhang Zhiqing!
Zhang Zhiqing was immediately overjoyed, and he immediately said: "Thank you, Zhiqing, for your support, Zhiqing will never forget such kindness!"
"After the matter is completed, if Zhiqing can become the governor of this province, I hope that everyone will come out to help me and manage this Lingnan Province into a fertile land!"
The meaning of this sentence is already very clear, as long as I become an overseer, everyone can become a high-ranking official in the province!
Han Wenkui and others were overjoyed and promised to do their best to help Zhang Zhiqing expel Lin Hongfei!
With everyone's assurance, Zhang Zhiqing informed Li Jiang of his decision to join Dashuai Zhang at the dinner table that night.
Li Jiang was naturally full of smiles, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty can make such a correct choice, I am really happy."
"Don't worry, my lord, Marshal Zhang will definitely help you ascend to the throne of military governor!"
Zhang Zhiqing took the initiative to seek refuge, and Li Jiang, as a special envoy, naturally did not hide it. He first handed Zhang Zhiqing a silver bill of [-] oceans, and told him that within one month, the remaining military pay and [-] rods of fast money would be handed over to Zhang Zhiqing. The guns were shipped to the provincial capital.
Li Jiang did what he said, and in less than a month, the remaining military pay and [-] quick guns were transported to the Han family compound outside Dongjiang City.
The reason why they were not transported into Dongjiang City was also because they were worried that they would be discovered by the Jiangbei Army when they entered the city, so as not to expose the plan.
On the same day, Zhang Zhiqing took a few relatives to the Han family compound under the pretext of going out of the city to relax.
"My lord, Marshal Zhang is worthy of being a big shot in the three provinces, this move is generous!"
"Look at this gun, it's [-]% brand new!"
"And this bullet, it's yellow and clear, it looks like a good thing!"
Holding a rifle, Han Wenkui couldn't help but praise it!
Zhang Zhiqing is also an old witty ghost. Seeing Han Wenkui's praise of Zhang Dashuai so much, he simply raised the banner and said:
"What is this? Marshal Zhang wrote in a letter saying that as long as we can take down Lingnan Province, let alone [-] shots, [-] or [-] shots will be fine!"
"Also, Marshal Zhang is the one who wants to rule the world and be the president."
"We are now following Marshal Zhang, that is, Conglong Zhichen. In the future, Brother Han, maybe you can also become the governor and military governor."
"If this is placed in the former Qing Dynasty, it will be a second-rank governor, a great official in the frontier!"
Han Wenkui was excited by Zhang Zhiqing's words, his eyes sparkled, and he began to look forward to the bright future in his mind!
But this daydream was interrupted by Zhang Zhiqing before he started, and he only heard him say: "Brother Han, the bandits in places like Zhegu Mountain, Heitou Valley, Dalianzi Mountain, Baiyunzhai, Luanshigou, and Laobaoshi , how is the contact?"
Hearing this, Han Wenkui hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, they all agree to accept the adaptation!"
"These bandits add up to more than 8000 people. After reorganizing them, our confidence will be even stronger!"
Zhang Zhiqing nodded slightly, his eyes full of confidence: "That's right, Feng Shui takes turns, and it's my turn to sit in the manor!"
