Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 249
At the front of the team, there were three knights lined up, talking.

Among the three knights, Cao Gan with a big head is in the middle, Gao Mo, who is usually inseparable from Gao Yushi, is on the left, and Gao Yu, who has been under Qi Jiguang's command for half a year and has just been sent here on the right, is on the right.

Judging from the parallel positions of the three, there is no doubt that Cao Gan is the main one on this trip, Gao Mo is next, and Gao Yu is the third.

"Gao Tuanzuo, there is something that I have been holding back in my mind for several days, and I have been wanting to ask you." Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, Cao Gan, who couldn't keep his words in his heart, couldn't help asking.

The "Tuan Zuo" in his mouth refers to Gao Mo. Because of the rapid expansion of the soap industry and the great sales of the products, Gao Pragmatic has upgraded the specification of the family guard team by two levels in advance. The previous "team" actually corresponds to the company level. Now After crossing the battalion level, they went directly to the regiment level, and Gao Mo was the first head of the family guard regiment.

In fact, Cao Gan has been deprived of "military power" by Gao Yushi, and has been redesignated as "President of Foreign Trade", known as "Jinghua Chamber of Commerce Manager" to the outside world.The title of president is a common word in Ming Dynasty. For example, "a certain official history president", generally refers to the supervisor who compiled a certain history book, and the meaning is basically the same as that of later generations.

In fact, when Gao Wushi decided to join forces and reorganize them into the Jia Ding Guard Group, even Gao Mo, who already knew that he was appointed as the head of the group, was very worried, fearing that something would happen that would be out of control.

Because at that time, although the infantry establishment of the Jia Ding Guard had expanded to about [-] people, and the small captains who served as the backbone were all personally trained by Qi Jiguang, and the entire team was also compatible with the military regulations set by Gao Yushi and the training rules of the Qi family army. After more than two months of training, it is a force that can be relied on.

But the problem is that the cavalry unit with Bailixia thieves as the main force has also expanded a lot at that time, with a scale of more than a thousand. Except that it is not equipped with firearms and armor, it can be called well-equipped in terms of cold weapons. Not to mention that due to more abundant financial resources than before, the number of horses in the cavalry unit is sufficient. On average, two cavalrymen can have about three war horses.

This is already a powerful cavalry that makes Ma Fang jealous in private. After all, Daming's current cavalry family background...is really not enough.

Cao Gan has always been in charge of the armed cavalry. The soldiers in the team are all old people he used, and many are even relatives of his wife's family. Mo was very worried that Cao Gan would turn his back on him if he didn't do anything, then he would be in big trouble... This is a well-equipped thousand-odd fine cavalry, and it is the core combat power of the Jiading level in the regular army of the Ming Dynasty. To turn against the water, even if you can't take down important towns like Xuanfu and Datong, you can break through some counties, and even prefectures with limited troops!
If something like this happened, don't say that Gao Yushi couldn't get away with it, I'm afraid even Gao Gong would be implicated-this is your servant, your servant has rebelled, how dare you say you are not guilty?

But Gao Wushi has prepared enough backers for this. He has the guts to do so, and he knows that he must do it quickly while the number of armed cavalry is still under control, otherwise the trouble will be even greater if he takes over power in the future.

The most important of Gao Pragmatic’s backhands are the following:

First, all the infantry and cavalry guards were sent to Datong, and they were assembled in the name of asking Ma Fang to train them. Then, the infantry was ordered to guard the camp, and the cavalry's horse farm was also guarded by infantry.

Next, in the name of "communicating with Zhao Ke", Cao Gan was transferred to the Xuanfu for official business. At the same time, Gao Yu was transferred to Datong to manage the two infantry and cavalry guards. Persuade or appease Cao Gan.

Then, Ma Fang was asked to mobilize elite troops to secretly monitor the barracks of Jia Ding's guards under the pretext of patrolling and strengthening defense on the grounds that he was attacked by Alta in April, and immediately take control of the situation if he found any changes.

In the end, Gao Yu took the high-practical position adjustment order and the "half-year award for the family guard"-a full 8 taels of cash-to issue Cao Gan's adjustment order to the chief officer of the cavalry guard who stayed in the Datong camp.

There is also an important time lag here: Gao Mo announced to Cao Gan that the adjustment is the first, and he needs to persuade Cao Gan to order a summons to Datong, saying that he has "willingly accept the order"-no matter how to persuade Gao Yushi, but try to ensure that Those who come to text, not to Wu.

This is the entire action plan, and before the plan, Gao Yushi's set of "eat the eldest son's food and obey the eldest son's orders" has been implemented for several months, and the so-called "half-year award" is not proposed temporarily, but early. Just inform all armed servants first.

In this way, under the combination of soft and hard, it is basically difficult for the lower-level knights to oppose the adjustment out of the so-called "loyalty" to the "old master"-because the "old master" is not there at all, and there is news of voluntary acceptance of the adjustment .

Although the small leaders of the middle and upper levels may have doubts, they can firstly get enough reward silver; secondly, the place where the adjustment is announced is in the main camp guarded by infantry servants. After adjusting the appointment, they will be arranged to be transferred out of Datong in batches-this is not allowing them to form a joint force.How dare they rebel when there are only a hundred or so people left in each force, and the logistical supply depends entirely on highly pragmatic arrangements?

Even so, the high-practical methods are still endless. As early as when he asked Ma Fang to help him train the cavalry, he began to expand the cavalry guards. Mongolian knights, these people have been fooled by Gao Yushi's brainwashing method, and they have long wished to call Gao Yushi their godfather-well, in fact, they don't need to deliberately fool them. Only a fool would let go of Gao Shidu's thick legs from a wealthy family of the Ming Dynasty.

This group of people recognized the important guiding ideology of "eating the eldest son's food and obeying the eldest son's orders" more than Handing. The best of them were either appointed as the deputy captain of the cavalry guard team, or crowned as equestrian The title of coach really divided part of the military power.

Some of the young riders who were originally born in Bailixia were appointed as "Ji Gang" (military judges) after being trained, enjoying some unique status and power, and even regarded the young master as their benefactor, and divided them Partial military power.

Under such circumstances, the reorganization of this team was put on the agenda by Gao Yushi and started.

The only problem at that time was Cao Gan's own attitude.

However, Gao Wushi made a condition that Cao Gan thought he could not refuse, and his wife urged him to accept it: Gao Wushi promised him a dividend of [-]% of the annual profit of the smuggling business.

Money touches people's hearts. Although Cao Gan privately felt that he only got the dividend quota instead of "shares", it was a bit regrettable, but after thinking about himself being cleared of his identity as a thieves, he was just a boss in the Gao family district. With a lot of money, the son can continue to study with Gao Shi, so what is there to complain about?
You know, he was in charge of the smuggling business before. Although this year's business has been affected by the war, after the eldest son successfully obtained the goods from Yangzhou, the trade volume has more than doubled compared to previous years. It is expected that this year The net profit must exceed 10 taels, and one percent is more than a thousand taels of silver. This is not a small number!

Originally, he was the head of the family, and it seemed that all the income was distributed to him, but the big business of the family also cost a lot, and he had to bear the responsibility for the life and death of the entire Bailixia. Easy money?

After all, Cao Gan’s hard work in the early years has exhausted him. As a man in his 40s, his mind has long been turned to "hoping for his son to become a dragon". Now that he can let go, isn't it a good thing?Originally, he had been worried that the Eldest Young Master would be jealous, but now that the military power has been handed over, the Eldest Young Master would not necessarily want to kill them all, would he?

So, he directly asked his wife to go and send a message on his behalf.

This is the final decision on the reorganization.

But within three months, Gao Wushi sent him to visit Fengzhou in person, but he did not explain the task.

What is even more surprising is that Tuanzheng and Deputy Gao Mogao of the newly-appointed family guards were dispatched at the same time and came together.

After arriving outside Fengzhou City, Cao Gan "President Cao" who had endured all the way finally couldn't help asking.

　Originally, "receiving military power" was to be written directly, thinking that some readers always said that they wanted to speed up the progress, so I changed it to this kind of narration-style flashback... Actually, I am not satisfied with it—just like I originally planned to kill a chicken and cook a hot pot , As a result, time was tight, so I had to boil it, sprinkle some salt and eat it casually, the taste was like chewing wax.
