- That night, Mr. Zhao held an emergency meeting of the Tingyi Combat Command in his study.
Zhao Liben, Duke Dingguo Xu Wenbi, Eunuch Ji, Zheng Ruozeng, Tang Youde, Zhang Qianfa and other members of the headquarters gathered together and looked at Zhao Hao.
"The situation is like this." Zhao Hao first told everyone the latest situation, and then said with a gloomy expression: "This will be a severe test for us!"
"Yes." Everyone nodded. In their pre-calculation, Chief Li should at least be neutral. But Xianggong Zhang understands the righteousness and 80% supports them. No one expected that Li Chunfang would eventually decide to stand on the opposite side, and Zhang Juzheng would also escape. This made the situation where they had a high chance of winning suddenly become precarious.
"I heard that these days, the canal transport gang has been spending a lot of money in Beijing, lobbying one by one, and secretly instigating Caoding to go to Beijing to cause trouble. Although they were stopped in Shandong, it has sounded the alarm to the court." Xu Wenbi sighed lightly. One voice said: "Master Chief Assistant keeps talking about 'Quietness and Inaction' all day long, he is afraid that he will be frightened by those dogs."
"Haha, well said, what a coward!" Zhao Liben took a foot-long brass chimney with a mahogany mouth and took a beautiful puff. While enjoying the joy of puffing away the smoke, he sneered: "Although Shandong has exaggerated the number of people making trouble, the dignified chief minister can scare a dog, so he is obviously more cowardly than a dog."
Europeans have been smoking for decades. The chimney used by Mr. Zhao was bought by Tang Baolu from the Portuguese as a gift to Zhao Hao when he went to Macau to purchase.
¡°But Zhao Hao felt that smoking was harmful to health, so he didn¡¯t ask for his gift, and he didn¡¯t intend to let the old man smoke. So Tang Baolu gave the chimney and shredded tobacco to Tang Youde.
Old Tang soon became addicted to smoking and led several board members to bad behavior. When Zhao Liben came to Beijing this time, he was also turned into a smoker by Old Tang. He still used the same chimney that Tang Baolu gave to Zhao Hao.
It can be seen that some things are destined to happen and cannot be stopped.
??~~
"The situation has changed. We can no longer be secretive and must go all out to compete with them!" Zhao Hao has adjusted his mood and regained his fighting spirit.
"Not bad! Let them see the strength of our Xishan Company!" Everyone started shouting.
¡°Let¡¯s count the votes again.¡± Zhao Hao knocked on the wall behind him with the wooden stick in his hand.
The thick velvet curtains were opened, revealing the snow-white walls. Three different colored iron sheets, blue, yellow and white, hang on the wall. Blue and yellow are on both sides, and the white board in the middle is covered with name tags embedded with magnets.
There are forty-five famous brands in total, and most of them have thunderous names, including Yang Bo, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Huo Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Gao Yi, the Minister of Rites, Mao Kai, the Minister of Punishments, Ma Sen, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Heng, the Minister of Industry, and Xue Songyi, the Minister of General Affairs. , Wang Ting, the censor of Zuodu, and Dong Chuance, the minister of Dali Temple, are the nine great ministers.
And fifteen ministers from the six ministries Among them, there are four ministers from the Ministry of War, and there is an additional minister from the Governor Cangchang in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
In addition, there are the ministers of Taichang Temple, Minister of Guanglu Temple, Minister of Taipu Temple, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, Governor of Jiliao, and Governor of Shandong. The two left deputy censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the four supervisory censors. Those in the six subjects are all assigned to Shizhong, and those in the engineering majors are assigned to Shizhong, and those in the household majors are assigned to the left. There is also a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, Du Shui Qingli Division.
This is everyone who has the right to vote in the court meeting three days later. Although the Grand Master of the Cabinet presides over the meeting, he will not vote.
Then Zhao Hao and everyone analyzed the possible flow of each vote one by one.
Although there is no obvious party struggle in Ming Dynasty, factions have always existed. Officials formed different factions, large and small, based on various relationships such as hometown friendship, years of friendship, interests, in-laws, affiliations, political opinions, temperament, etc.
Although there will be differences in attitudes within the faction when faced with different people and events, basically the same faction still focuses on advancing and retreating together and maintaining unity, in order to enhance the influence of its own group and safeguard the interests of the group.
If these forty-five voting ministers are divided into factions, they will be divided in different ways according to different standards. Obviously, in this matter involving tens of millions of people, place of origin will be the biggest obstacle, and other factors must take a back seat.
Zhao Hao divided the forty-five people according to their place of origin into ten people from Jiangnan, six people from Jiangbei, three people from Jiangxi, five people from Shanxi, four people from Shandong, four people from Beizhi, three people from Henan, and Huguang. Three people are from Fujian and Guangdong, and two are from Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan and Guizhou.
? Among them, Jiangnan nationality includes the Jiangnan part of South Zhili plus Zhejiang. The Jiangbei nationality guide is directly under the Jiangbei section.
"All Jiangnan officials are with us." Zhao Hao snapped his fingers, and Sun Dawu quickly transferred the name tags of all ten Jiangnan officials.onto the blue board.
"All officials from Jiangbei are resolute in the water movement party." Zhao Hao added: "Now that the chief minister's attitude is like this, they are even less likely to stand with us."
Sun Dawu glued the name tags of six Jiangbei officials on the yellow board.
"I've talked to the officials in Jiangxi, and basically it's not a big problem." Zhao Liben took a deep breath from the chimney and exhaled white mist from his nose. "If we switch to sea transportation, the burden on Gan Province will also be reduced. This is a good thing. We have to do it." support."
Sun Dawu added three more to the blue board.
"Don't mention your Shandong citizenship." Zhang Qianfa said with a bitter smile: "Whether it is the canal or the Jiaolai River, they all pass through their territory. They are the most die-hard supporters of the water transport group."
Sun Dawu added four more yellow boards.
"Those Henan guys are closer to the canal than the sea, and they always dislike us." Mr. Chicken smiled bitterly, even if it was not for profit. Henan finally produced two Ge Lao Gao Gong and Guo Pu, but both of them were pushed out of office by Xu Ge Lao.
By the way, there is also the grudge between Gao Gong and Zhao Liben. It¡¯s strange that the fellows from Henan can like the people from Jiangnan.
"Let's pull over two of the four people from Beizhi." Xu Wenbi sipped tea and said, "But the two people from Cangzhou and Damingfu are determined to protect the canal transport. They can't pull them. They really can't."
Sun Dawu added two to each side.
At this time, there are fifteen name tags on the blue board and fifteen on the yellow board.
There are fifteen nameplates left on the white board, including five from Shanxi, three from Huguang, five from Fujian and Guangdong, and two from Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan and Guizhou.
These fifteen people are the key to victory or defeat.
"How was your discussion with those old guys?" Zhao Liben blew a smoke ring and asked Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. He had only been smoking for a few days and he had already learned how to blow out smoke rings? Is there anything in this world that the old man can't play with?
"Originally I thought it was okay." After a pause, Zhao Haofang replied: "We have reached an agreement with Lao Yang. As long as we let them participate in one share after the matter is completed, they can vote for us." After saying this, he touched the back of his head and said: "But what happened during the day has left me at a loss."
"Those old Xi'er guys are unreliable." Zheng Ruozeng coughed twice. He was choked by the smell of smoke and said slowly: "At the beginning, they also promised Hu Butang a good deal, saying that as long as he could help Wang Chonggu become the governor of Ningxia, Just keep him alive. But after Hu Butang fulfilled his contract, they still betrayed him and let Hu Butang die in prison. Ahem I found out later that Yang Bo had exchanged him for Tianguan Dangdang."
"Yes, Yang Tianguan is too smart, and Shanxi people are too smart." Seeing that Lao Zheng couldn't smell it, Zhao Liben apologetically picked up the copper cap from the table, put it on the chimney, and the tobacco inside went out naturally. "They will only stand on the side of the winner. I think right now, the possibility of betrayal is not small."
Zhao Hao nodded. He was also worried that the cabinet's attitude would affect the Shanxi Gang's choices.
He then signaled to Sun Dawu to place five Shanxi famous brands to be decided.
"The five people from Fujian and Guangdong are also in some trouble." Zhang Qianfa sighed: "They have already seen that we are not interested in drinking. Of course they don't want us to compete with them for business."
"Yes, they hope that our Jiangsu and Zhejiang sea bans will be implemented to the end. Isn't it flattering that Fujian and Guangdong provinces monopolize sea trade?" Tang Youde said with a bitter smile.
"But fortunately, Ma Butang is from Fujian, and Lin Zhongcheng also has a high reputation in the township party." Zhao Hao said lightly: "We can at least keep three votes from Fujian."
So Sun Dawu divided the five people from Fujian and Guangdong into three in blue and two in yellow.
Zhao Hao¡¯s eyes crossed the Huguang trio and landed on the two remaining Sichuan bosses, Zhao Zhenji and Wang Ting, and said in a deep voice:
"Needless to say, Wang Zongxian, the young uncle Zhao Dazhou also promised to support us with one vote."
Sun Dawu added two more to the blue board.
In this way, the number of votes for sea transportation came to twenty, and the number of votes for water transportation came to seventeen.
With five votes from Shanxi and three from Huguang still undecided, it is still impossible to claim victory easily.
In Zhao Hao¡¯s original calculation, these eight votes were basically no problem. In this way, if you vote for your side with twenty-eight votes, you will naturally win with more than half!
But Zhang Juzheng suddenly disappeared at this time, making the whole situation suddenly reborn in suspense.
"The three people in Huguang all followed Zhang Taiyue's lead. Before he went to Changping, he must have told them how to vote." Zhao Liben flicked the ash that fell on the hem of his robe and said quietly: "Then the question is, why did he hide out? ?¡±
"Zhang Taiyue is not a person who is afraid of trouble. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with him." Xu Wenbi said with a bitter smile.
"No, his actions show that, at least from his standpoint, this matter has something to do with him." Zhao Liben shook his head decisively.
"Then what does it matter? What benefits can he gain by hiding out?" The cockerel was worried and wanted to lay an egg.
"It's very simple." Zheng Ruozeng had already figured it out, and sighed helplessly: "The shipping issue has been brewing for a long time. With Mr. Zhang's shrewdness, he can probably figure out who will be on our side and who won't. He must know in his heart that even if Yuan Fu does not support it, as long as he and Shanxi's eight votes give us, we can still win."
After a pause, he coughed again and said: "Vice versa." (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)This shows that, at least from his standpoint, this matter has something to do with him. "Zhao Liben shook his head decisively.
