Reincarnation Guest of All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 63 Military Control

An important frontier town like Dingcheng was supposed to be seized by the generals and political power, which is why Zuo Houde dared to smuggle in Dingcheng.

Of course, such a military and political power is only suitable for frontier military towns, because there is no need for too much internal affairs.But it is not suitable for the current Zuo Houde.

Zuo Houde doesn't want to just maintain the status quo under his own rule. If Zuo Houde wants to develop, he needs to reform and deal with internal affairs. Of course, what Zuo Houde is most worried about now is that he has no internal affairs talents under his command.

Now Zuo Houde ruled more than ten cities, 20 soldiers, and millions of people in the southeast. In such a place, internal affairs are a big problem.

After much deliberation, Zuo Houde still couldn't think of a good way to deal with this problem.

In the end, Zuo Houde drew on the memories of his previous life and came up with a solution - military control.

A special form of coercive management and control implemented by the military to take over government power over the whole country or parts of the country, certain industries, and individual departments.It is usually practiced in wars, riots, severe natural disasters and other extraordinary situations.

Military control does not require too many internal affairs talents, and Zuo Houde's current situation is more in line with this condition.

Military control can not only allow Zuo Houde to solve internal affairs problems, but more importantly, the implementation of military control can also allow Zuo Houde to increase his control over the army under his opponents to a new level. cohesion.

……

At night, Zuo Houde invited twelve chambers of commerce from the city to the mansion for a banquet.

After the representatives of these twelve chambers of commerce arrived one after another, Zuo Houde looked at the crowd, raised a wine glass, and said, "Thank you for your support to Zuo over the years!"

After finishing speaking, Zuo Houde picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

The rest of the people stood up to toast under the representative of Zhao Pingde, and drank it all in one gulp. At the same time, they said: "Don't dare, dare not! Instead, I want to thank General Zhengdong for his cooperation these years."

For a moment, everyone had a joyful expression. Zuo Houde has been very happy to cooperate with them these years. Not to mention Zuo Houde's own harvest, each of these twelve families earns hundreds of dollars a year. Ten thousand taels of silver, and after Zuo Houde's "rebellion", he doesn't have to worry about the court's guilt.

After drinking for three rounds, Zuo Houde finally saw him, and said: "Since the general occupies this southeast land, the scale of this merchant can also be expanded several times."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, Zuo Houde spoke again, and said meaningfully: "Of course, the distribution of benefits will also change!"

At this time, the faces of the people suddenly changed color, Zhao Pingde stood up bravely and said: "I don't know how the general wants to change!"

Zuo Houde tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and then said: "I want your twelve firms to merge with the firm we established together before, and establish a new firm called Tongtian Firm. I will wait for the twelve firms to unite , forming a monopoly, this benefit is incomparable to before!"

At this time, everyone started discussing, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of this, and then Zhao Pingde asked on behalf of everyone: "General, I don't know how to divide this time?"

Zuo Houde stretched out three fingers and said, "I only leave you [-]%!"

When Zhao Pingde heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "General, I won't benefit from waiting like this!"

Zuo Houde knocked on the table with his fingers, and said slowly: "In these years, you have used my name to smuggle in your own business, and I can only keep [-]% for you. You should think about this matter clearly!"

As soon as Zuo Houde said this, everyone looked sour. Under the signal of the crowd, Zhao Pingde had no choice but to stand up, and said bravely: "General, I will not obey my orders like this!"

Zuo Houde looked at him indifferently, and said calmly: "At this time, I am not sitting on the ground to bargain with you, I am notifying you! You have no choice but to agree! I will give you three days , think about it carefully!"

After Zuo Houde finished speaking, he left the banquet.

……

"General Zhengdong is really deceiving people too much, do we really want to agree?"

Zhao Pingde looked at the person who spoke, it was Li Yuanwai - Li Yu's clan uncle, Zhao Pingde suddenly thought of something, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and said: "I don't agree, but after all, General Zhengdong is in charge of the army. , what should I do?"

"No need to worry! I've been waiting for the twelve companies to operate in Dingcheng for a hundred years, and there are also people in the army. If we join forces, we will naturally be able to submit to Zuo Houde!"

"Okay, there is still a lieutenant in the army in my family, and we will join hands with the twelve families, and in the end, we will naturally be able to obey Zuo Houde!"

All of a sudden, everyone present spoke, talking about their own strength in the army.

……

A day later, Zuo Houde was sitting in the lobby, and beside him were three people, exactly three of the twelve families, Zhao Pingde from the Zhao family, Li Yu's uncle from the Li family, and Zhang Luo from the Zhang family.

Zuo Houde looked at the three of them indifferently, and said, "You mean, the other nine families want to rebel."

The three of them looked at each other with deep meaning in their eyes, and said in unison: "Yes, General!"

Zuo Houde nodded when he heard it, and shouted: "Yao Ping!"

At this time, Yao Ping came out from the back hall, saluted and said, "Meet the Patriarch!"

Zuo Houde looked at Yao Ping and asked: "How, are there any of these three?" Zuo Houde pointed to the three people beside him.

Yao Ping saw three people and said, "Patriarch, there are no three families."

Zuo Houde looked at these three people, nodded his head in satisfaction, and thought to himself: These three families are not falling on both sides.

Zuo Houde thought about it, so he decided to give them some confidence, so he said, "Yao Ping, what are the other nine families doing?"

Yao Ping looked at Zuo Houde, and said respectfully: "Patriarch, members of the Wang family are contacting their nephews and a few clan members in the army, and the elders of the Gao family are contacting General Gao Ming. General Gao has already told me that the Bai family ..."

The three people beside Zuo Houde were overjoyed when they heard what Yao Ping said, fortunately they didn't participate in it!

Zuo Houde snorted coldly: "Yao Ping, write down those who are involved with them in the general, I will clean it up this time!"

Zuo Houde understands that these twelve families have been rooted in the city for a hundred years, so it is inevitable that there will be members of the clan in the army. Of course, Zuo Houde is also confident. These years, Zuo Houde has been constantly digging out unsuccessful generals, recruiting them as personal guards, and subduing them. After being transferred to the army, it can be said that most of the basic officers in the army were excavated by Zuo Houde himself.

Even a small number of these people are related to the twelve families. Zuo Houde believes that they will not rebel, just like Gao Ming, who is a collateral branch of the Gao family and has always been ignored. Among them, he chose Zuo Houde without any hesitation.

Of course, Zuo Houde does not completely believe in human nature. After all, this thing cannot stand the test. Over the years, Zuo Houde has recruited many three religions and nine schools in the city, and at the same time secretly cultivated his own "Jinyiwei" in the army. It can be said that Zuo Houde knows everything big and small!
