Reincarnation Guest of All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 55 Cooperation
Of course, Zuo Houde didn't expect the follow-up reaction either.

The twelve hotels in the city, seeing the good business of the Li family's hotel, also came to cooperate with Zuo Houde. These twelve hotels have been rooted in the city for a hundred years, so naturally they have their own foundations.

For example, the Zhao family runs a gambling house, and the Zhang family runs a brothel. Each family has its own main business, and they all take the initiative to come to the door. Zuo Houde can't refuse the door-to-door business.

Since then, small businesses and small households who have entered the city have found that no matter what they want to do in the city, they must go to designated places, such as teahouses, hotels, gambling houses, and brothels.

Of course, not only these [-] companies came to cooperate, but also some merchants came to the door. Zuo Houde thought that monopoly is not a good thing, so he selected a few more merchants in various industries.

Of course, as soon as they entered Zuo Houde's General's Mansion, they would have to bleed a lot. These merchants all regarded Zuo Houde's General's Mansion as a place to die for money.

Zuo Houde thought this was very good, and he also asked Yao Ping to open a dental shop, and specially asked the young men in the dental shop to guide these merchants entering the city and take them to different places.

From Zuo Houde's point of view, at least this has improved the order in the city a lot. Even if Daming's secret work really happened, Zuo Houde would let him know that in Dingcheng, there are servants following him all the time, It's so uncomfortable to stare at.

As for some small merchants in the city who are about to be squeezed out and unable to survive, Zuo Houde also specially opened up the square market, allowing merchants entering the city to do business there.

Apart from other things, in the eyes of these north-south peddlers, Zuo Houde is desperate for money, so they are restricted to go to designated places. As for what Zuo Houde said about Ming's secret work, they also use it as an excuse.

Over time, these peddlers spread the word, and Zuo Houde gained another title of "death for money"

Zuo Houde knew that it would definitely spread to Youzhou, but it was fine, it just fulfilled Zuo Houde's purpose of defilement.

Of course self-defilement is done, the next step is to seize power.

In fact, it is actually very easy to seize power. You just need to call your generals into your big tent, tell them that from tomorrow onwards, you will have only one voice in the barracks, and then start promoting your cronies. Obedient idle, on it.

Even many of Dayan's generals did this, it was so simple and rude.

Of course, in Zuo Houde's view, this is completely unacceptable. This will not only arouse the emperor's fear, but also fail to subdue his subordinates. The result of this is that a transfer order from the emperor can wipe out all your efforts.

As a history teacher in his previous life, Zuo Houde also knew how some heroes in history seized power.

After much deliberation, Zuo Houde planned to learn from Yuan Shikai's approach.

Yuan Shikai established his status starting from training at a small station. When Yuan Shikai trained the new army, he kept instilling some of his own ethics and the way to get promoted and make a fortune. At that time, Yuan Shikai could be said to have won the hearts of the people.

In the new army's dormitory, each new army offers a longevity tablet.People nowadays sound very strange, so what is the Longevity card? It is a tablet that people used to pray for good fortune and longevity for their benefactors in the past. The Longevity card is not a spiritual card, but for the living.

Every new army longevity card says not his parents, nor his beloved wife, nor the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but Yuan Shikai.The new soldiers all believed that Yuan Shikai was their food and clothing parents, their great benefactor, someone who was closer than their parents and closer than their girlfriends.

Of course, although Zuo Houde understood Yuan Shikai's practices in his previous life very well, Zuo Houde also understood that he still needed to improve.

Zuo Houde rushed to the army and immediately recruited several generals in the army.

From time to time, a group of people came, there were seven generals under Zuo Houde in the army, four of them were from Dingcheng, Zuo Houde and their families also cooperated with each other, and the remaining three were from Youzhou , and the other two were from counties.

Zuo Houde was a little jealous of that general from Youzhou, because he was most likely sent by Hong Zaixing, not only Zuo Houde, but every frontier general had similar figures around him.

Zuo Houde looked at the people around him and said: "Generals, you all understand that there must be a battle between Dayan and Nanming. If the war starts from our Dingcheng, the matter of strengthening the army cannot be postponed. I decided to wait a month later. There will be a martial arts competition in the army, and there will be a martial arts performance in the army every six months, and the top fifty will be rewarded."

The seven generals did not dare to object, they all clasped their fists and said, "No!"

……

One month later, in the Dingcheng army, now is the day of performing martial arts.

Since the news of the upcoming martial arts performance in the army came out a month ago, there are many warriors in the army who feel that they are superior in force.

Zuo Houde walked to the high platform, looked at the officers and soldiers in the audience, and said: "The army has produced heroes since ancient times, and it is also a place where crouching tigers hide dragons. Today, in the military competition, I will decide to take the top fifty. reward!"

After Zuo Houde finished speaking, the soldiers in the audience applauded: "Come on!"

Then someone said: "The general is wise!"

Zuo Houde raised his hand and said, "The top fifty warriors, I will give you a chance to challenge this general!"

For a moment, the eyes of the soldiers in the audience were even brighter. Those who are capable want to see how powerful Zuo Houde is, while those who are not capable also want to see the strong man compete with his own general.

Not long after, the first martial arts competition began. There were not many people participating in the martial arts competition, only [-] of the [-] soldiers. Most of them knew that they did not have the strength, so they did not participate.

Of course, no high-ranking officers participated this time, and there was even only one Sima in the army, let alone a school lieutenant general.Of course, Zuo Houde can also understand, after all, Sima is regarded as the middle and high level in the army, if he loses on the stage to someone with a lower rank than himself, he will not be able to command his subordinates in the future.

Zuo Houde was also watching these more than [-] people competing in martial arts. He mainly watched the older soldiers. recover.

There were dozens of rings for the duel between the two, and the top fifty in the army were selected in one morning.

Of course, the top fifty duel has not yet begun.

Zuo Houde was sitting on the stage, and General Li next to him asked, "General, who do you like more?"

Zuo Houde took a look at this General Li, this General Li was called Li Yu, he was a native of Dingcheng, his family also cooperated with Zuo Houde, Zuo Houde smiled and said: "They are all strong men in the army, You still have to fight to know."

Li Yu said by himself: "I am optimistic about my subordinate Du Cheng."

From time to time, the other generals from Dingcheng also expressed their suggestions. Zuo Houde smiled when he saw it. He knew that these four people were getting closer to him. As for the other three, they also said a few words from time to time. Make yourself less isolated.
