wealthy lord

Chapter 800: Use both kindness and power to conquer Shi Bao

It was like stepping on cotton under my feet. I had no feeling at all. If I tilted my body, I would fall down.

Qi Rui reacted quickly and supported him.

Shi Bao smiled awkwardly: "Let Commander Qi laugh!"

"Wherever, General Shi knelt here for a day and a night. His temper has indeed calmed down a lot, and he looks more approachable now!"

Shi Bao could tell that he was deliberately sarcastic, but after thinking about it that night and the news he had received from Ye Wanqing before, his mentality completely changed.

Shi Bao moved his legs carefully, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Qi, don't be angry about what happened in Tongshan last time. It was all my fault!"

"Hey, General Shi, don't take it to heart. We will all be the prince's people in the future. In the final analysis, we are also our own people. We don't care about right or wrong! Go in and don't keep the prince waiting!"

Shi Bao was now satisfied, as if he was lame, he limped into the study.

Qi Rui put his hands into his sleeves and looked at his back with a smile on his lips.

In fact, he knew very well that everything his father was doing now was to pave the way for him.

Therefore, Qi Rui finally learned to win over people and make friends after being tempered by this coup.

Only in this way can one be successful in the officialdom. First, one must gain recognition from the leader, and secondly, one must gain a good reputation among colleagues.

Here, Shi Bao walked into the study and saw Lin Yun still sitting in front of the brazier, warming himself up and filling it with charcoal with a tong.

He knelt on the ground with a thud: "The guilty minister Shi Bao, please see your majesty..."

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Who is General Shi calling you? Who is your majesty?"

"Of course the current regent is the future majesty!"

Shi Bao is very smart. He knows that with his current self, even if he is forgiven by Lin Yun, he cannot compare to second-generation officials like Qi Rui and Fu Tianchen.

Therefore, he used the stupidest but most effective way to please Lin Yun.

As long as he becomes Lin Yun's first actual supporter after he ascends the throne, he can catch up with others.

Lin Yun sneered and said: "I am just an auxiliary minister left by the late emperor. When the emperor Li Daozong can govern alone in the future, I will take the initiative to resign from the throne..."

Shi Bao suddenly raised his head and looked at him, clasped his fists and said, "If the prince said other things, I will definitely agree with him, but this is the only thing I don't believe!"

Lin Yun was too lazy to argue with him and said jokingly: "Stop picking up such nice things. I have already learned that you, Shi Bao, are so bold that you dare to lead your generals in Tongshan and secretly deduct the Chu family's salary money! You can say it yourself!" "How should I punish you?"

Shi Bao grinned. He could tell that Lin Yun's tone was just a joke and he didn't take it seriously at all.

"Beizi has been kneeling outside for a day and a night. I have decided that the prince is Beizi's master. As long as I can let the master vent his anger, I can take my life!"

Lin Yun shook his head helplessly. He knew that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find anything, and said, "Come and sit down and warm yourself by the fire!"

Shi Bao stood up, but hesitantly said: "How dare I be equal to the prince? If I can get forgiveness from the prince, my heart will feel much warmer!"

"Stop talking nonsense! I asked you to come and sit down. I have something to explain to you!" Shi Bao did not dare to delay any longer and sat obediently next to Lin Yun, watching him play with the red-hot charcoal in the brazier with iron clips.

"Please give me your instructions..."

"I know that you, Shi Bao, are feeling uncomfortable right now. You think that I am treating you as an outsider and ceding the great achievements of Tongshan Guantian to Qi Rui, right?"

Shi Bao scratched his head in embarrassment and didn't dare to say anything more. That's what he really thought.

"Being in a humble position is guilty..."

"Well, I have never treated you as an outsider since the day I re-employed you! However, the main reason for arranging Qi Rui to go to Tongshan Pass this time was to facilitate negotiations with the senior leaders of the Chu family! Although you made a mistake, you also You have made great achievements, and I will give you clear rewards and punishments, and I will never let you down! Now I will appoint you as the General of Pingxi, and then lead 30,000 troops to station in Laocheng, Chujiang County!"

As soon as these words came out, Shi Bao was stunned. He cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord, for the reward. However, there is something unclear about my humble position. Could it be that after this negotiation, King Chu Jiang officially surrendered to the court?"

In his mind, only by completely regaining Chujiang County can the imperial troops and horses move in naturally.

Lin Yun smiled and said: "Of course not! I just made a few requests with King Chujiang! Next, the court and King Chujiang will resume normal relations! But the price is that the court must station troops in Chujiang County! This is It is an arduous and dangerous task. After careful consideration, I decided to let you station there. After all, you know the situation in Chujiang County better!"

Shi Bao was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he said bitterly: "My lord, if you want to take this life from humble position, humble position will immediately commit suicide! Stop playing humble position! It's not like you don't know that Chujiang County has already killed humble position." There is a reward of one million taels of silver on the head!"

"Ha ha!"

Lin Yun laughed heartily: "General Shi just kept saying that he would be loyal to me, why did he back down now?"

"No, Beizhi just thinks it's almost impossible! His ambition as King of Chujiang has been known to everyone! Instead of letting Beizhi stationed there, it would be better for the prince to give Beizhi more soldiers, horses, weapons and equipment, and Beizhi directly conquers Chujiang County. Guaranteed to return victorious within three months..."

Lin Yun sighed: "The imperial court has no money to start a war now! Don't worry about this! But don't worry, I am not asking you to die, but to monitor every move of the Chu family! And, for you Thirty thousand soldiers and horses will be equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment, instead of outdated items like bamboo guns..."

Shi Bao was shocked: "The most advanced weapon? More powerful than a bamboo gun? And it is equipped for 30,000 people in humble positions?"

Lin Yun nodded with a smile: "Of course! I want to build an army that can crush all forces! And you are the leader of this army. Is General Shi satisfied with this reward?"

Shi Bao was overjoyed, stood up suddenly, and nodded vigorously.

"Satisfied... so satisfied! I will kowtow to the prince now!"

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground again and kowtowed.

Now, he finally understood Lin Yun's intention, which was to reuse him and build the 30,000 people he led into an absolutely loyal army.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with a weapon more advanced than a bamboo gun.

Lin Yun helped him up and said, "Let's go, I will take you to try new weapons!"

Yang Tiexin had already improved the AK47 that Zheng Li had used last time, and it had been stored in the weapons depot in the backyard.

Now he has become a mechanic under Lin Yun.

As long as it is a concept proposed by Lin Yun or a sketch produced, Yang Tiexin will eventually make a sample in his hands.
