Qin Dynasty: Becoming a peerless master through the Golden Light Mantra
Chapter 53: Seizing the Power of the "Three Publics"
Seeing that the Tide Demoness remained silent for a long time, Han Che couldn't help but ask, "Does Madam have a problem?"
This matter cannot be allowed to go wrong.
Wei Liao's appointment as Grand Commandant was a crucial step in his entire plan.
As the saying goes, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
Controlling the military is the most crucial guarantee for ascending to the throne of power.
Some people may not be familiar with the name Guowei, but everyone is certainly familiar with the name Taiwei.
The Grand Commandant was the predecessor of the Grand Commandant, one of the Three Dukes in later generations.
Moreover, he possesses more than just military power.
There's no need to say more about Madam Mingzhu in front of me.
Han Fei's position as Sikou corresponds to the Imperial Censor, one of the Three Dukes in later generations.
Zhang Liang was the grandson of Chancellor Zhang Kaidi.
Although Zhang Kaidi is cunning and treacherous, and may not cooperate well, once Wei Liao successfully becomes the Grand Commandant, the situation in the Korean court is essentially settled.
Zhang Kaidi will only have one choice then: to cooperate with him out of respect for Zhang Liang.
After all, his relationship with Zhang Liang was quite good, and the Zhang family's power in Korea could still be guaranteed.
In this way, South Korea's "three publics" are all influenced by him.
As for the "Nine Ministers" among the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, they were the national administrative organs under the Prime Minister, and their voice in the court was far less powerful than that of the Three Dukes.
Madam Mingzhu smiled slightly and praised, "Young master, your plan is truly excellent."
Han Che readily accepted Madam Mingzhu's praise: "If it couldn't bring me great benefits, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths to do this. I suppose Madam wouldn't seriously do something that doesn't benefit her."
Although Madam Mingzhu did not say it explicitly, he knew that this clever woman had seen through his plan.
However, this will only strengthen their cooperative relationship.
Ji Wuye was already a sinking ship, while his own, an even more luxurious ship, was preparing to set sail.
Moreover, she had already boarded her own ship, so there was absolutely no reason for her to disembark midway.
Seeing this, Madam Mingzhu said nothing more, but said, "I will help you with this favor, young master, but you must not forget my contribution."
Having received the answer he wanted, Han Che was in a very good mood and immediately replied, "I will certainly not forget your contribution, Madam."
Madam Mingzhu smiled.
She first put down her crossed legs, then stood up and walked towards Han Che with a seductive gait: "In that case, let's rest together."
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Mingzhu threw herself into Han Che's arms, greedily inhaling the masculine aura emanating from him.
Some things are indeed very addictive once you've experienced them, making you crave more.
For the sake of the greater good of South Korea, Han Che had no choice but to cooperate with Madam Myung-joo's actions.
Soon, the alluring panting of Madam Mingzhu could be heard in the room.
……
Meanwhile, in Nanyang, on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Under Han Che's orders, Wei Liao is leading the soldiers of the Nanyang camp in a large-scale military operation.
Two thousand soldiers were divided into several groups and surrounded all of Emerald Tiger's properties in Nanyang.
Wei Liao personally led a team of three hundred men to raid the warehouse where Jade Tiger stored fertilizer for the fields.
This warehouse was built in a remote, rural area for some reason.
Illuminated by the moonlight and torchlight, Wei Liao saw the warehouse ahead and immediately ordered, "Surround this area and do not let a single person escape."
"promise!"
The soldiers who received the order immediately dispersed.
Two teams of 100 men each moved in a flanking maneuver from both sides, as planned.
Wei Liao himself led the remaining group of men straight toward the main entrance of the warehouse.
Before even getting close to the gate, Wei Liao couldn't help but raise his right hand and cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve.
There's no way around it, the smell here is just too awful!
These fertilizers are good, but the smell is really unpleasant.
However, thinking that these perfectly good fields and fertilizers had been transformed into something heinous by the Jade Tiger, Wei Liao, filled with rage, immediately put down his right hand.
At the warehouse entrance, the guards had already noticed Wei Liao and his group and were now gathered at the entrance, ready to fight.
However, upon seeing the leader, Wei Liao, and the numerous armored soldiers behind him, the guards' morale immediately weakened.
It's impossible to win a battle against an unarmored opponent who has powerful bows and crossbows and a numerical advantage.
However, remembering that his leader was Jade Tiger, and behind Jade Tiger was the Korean General Ji Wuye, the head of the guards mustered his courage and shouted loudly, "Who are you? Do you know where you are?"
Looking at the guard captain who was trying to intimidate them, Wei Liao let out a cold laugh: "I know you are from Emerald Tiger, but today I'm going to arrest you."
After uttering those harsh words to the guards in front of him, Wei Liao immediately ordered the soldiers behind him, "Arrest them all! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
"promise!"
Upon receiving the order, all the soldiers stared at the guards in front of them with shining eyes.
They could kill these people if these guards dared to resist.
In this way, these people became military merits in their hands.
Although military merits are divided into several categories, these unarmored warehouse guards in front of me can only be considered the lowest level of military merit. But even a mosquito's leg is meat, and it's better than nothing.
Moreover, these military merits are not difficult to obtain at all.
The warehouse guards, who were already feeling uneasy, completely broke down when they were stared at by so many fierce-looking South Korean soldiers.
They followed Jade Tiger just to make a living, and Jade Tiger wasn't treating them any better. There was no need to risk their lives for Jade Tiger, who treated people like dirt, and they might even implicate their families.
These men in front of me are soldiers of the State of Han, representing the King of Han.
Fighting against South Korean soldiers is tantamount to rebellion.
"I surrender!"
"I surrender too!"
"..."
Before the soldiers could even reach the guards, the guards all knelt down and begged to surrender.
In the end, only the captain of the guard remained standing in the same spot.
Wei Liao was not surprised by this situation.
Jade Tiger was just a merchant, and a cunning and treacherous one at that; no loyal and righteous person would be willing to follow him.
The guard captain, caught off guard, was dumbfounded by the situation around him.
However, upon seeing the soldiers about to rush towards him, he knelt down and cried out, "Don't kill me, I surrender too!"
Although they were very disappointed, the soldiers had no choice but to put the surrendered guards under custody.
In the military regulations established by Han Che, there were not only rewards, but also punishments, and the distinction between rewards and punishments was always clear.
Wei Liao observed all the soldiers' actions.
He praised Han Che in his heart once again.
Han Che managed to keep this group of fierce soldiers in check very well.
This is the most precious place.
Building a formidable army is actually not difficult.
A generous reward will surely attract brave men, but the real challenge is to keep these wolves in check and prevent them from becoming unruly and arrogant soldiers.
