Chapter 362 Lure, Lobbying
After waiting for Han Zhan to sit down, Mrs. Zhang asked with a smile: "Mr. Ting, I want to ask, are there anything you have to do when you run to Heishan from such a faraway place in Yecheng?"
When Han Zhan heard Mrs. Zhang's question, he immediately aroused the warning. He thought to himself: Judging from the current situation, Zhang Yan must have not come to see Mrs. Zhang. Then Mrs. Zhang should not know about her plan to make the Black Mountain Army surrender to Jizhou. Since she already knew it now, she must have obtained the news from Sun Qing and Wang Dang.
Since Han Zhan was thinking about how to reply to Mrs. Zhang, the time for thinking was long. When Mrs. Zhang saw that Han Zhan ignored her questions, she felt a little dissatisfied. "Mr. Ting, does the old man's problem make you embarrassed?" Her words were filled with anger.
Mrs. Zhang's words woke Han Zhan up from his thoughts. He quickly stood up and bowed deeply to the other party, and said apologetically: "Mrs. Zhang, I am thinking about things just now and did not answer the old lady's question in time. Please forgive me."
Seeing that Han Zhan took the initiative to admit his mistake to him, Mrs. Zhang was not an unreasonable person, so she waved her hand and said, "Mr. Tinghou doesn't have to be so polite. If you think that old man's question is difficult to answer, you don't have to answer it."
"Old Madam," Han Zhan's purpose here was to convince Mrs. Zhang so that she could suppress Sun Qing, Wang Dang and others through her influence. It is very necessary to convince the old lady to be honest. "The younger generation came here to surrender the Black Mountain Army."
"Recruit the Heishan Army?" Hearing Han Zhan say this, Mrs. Zhang sneered and said, "Mr. Ting is such a bad word. Isn't Zhang Yan's Heishan Army now the imperial army?"
"The Heishan Army is just a nominal official army." Han Zhan did not go around in circles, but said bluntly: "They do not pay taxes and food to the court. If there is any trouble in the court, they will not send troops to help. I am here to make the Heishan Army truly a member of the Jizhou Army."
"Tell me, how did Tinghou plan to recruit the Black Mountain Army."
"Although the Heishan Army has a million people, there are only more than 100,000 soldiers who can fight." Han Zhan said to Mrs. Zhang: "There are only a few thousand people who truly meet the standards of the Jizhou Army. Therefore, except for these thousands of people who can be incorporated into the Jizhou Army, the rest of the people, the younger generation, plan to let them get rid of their armor and return to the fields and be responsible for farming."
After hearing Han Zhan’s thoughts, Mrs. Zhang said coldly: “Mr. Ting, don’t forget that the Heishan Army has millions. If they are all lifted and returned to the fields, relying solely on Heishan and Changshan County is far from enough.”
"Mrs. Don't worry, my younger brother has considered this matter long ago." Han Zhan said to Mrs. Zhang: "If you don't want to stay in Heishan, I can arrange them to other places in Jizhou. If it is not enough, I can just wait until my marquis captures Qingzhou and Bingzhou, and then move the excess people over."
"Tinghou said just now that there are only a few thousand people available in the Heishan army. If these people saw that their relatives and friends had all divided the land and they were still serving in the army, would there be unstable morale and low morale?" Mrs. Zhang asked expressionlessly: "Have you ever thought about this problem?"
"Please rest assured about this." Since Han Zhan had discussed countermeasures with Guo Jia before visiting Mrs. Zhang. When he heard the old lady's question, Han Zhan replied confidently: "Anyone who joins the army will be assigned at least ten acres of Yongye Field."
"Yongyetian?!" Hearing such a strange noun, Mrs. Zhang asked curiously: "Mr. Tinghou, what is this? Why has the old man never heard of it?"
"Reply to the old lady's words," Han Zhan said with a smile: "Yongyetian, this is a reward mechanism just launched by the younger generation. It is not surprising that the old lady doesn't know. As long as they are soldiers in the army, each person can get ten acres of land. Even if the soldiers die, these lands can be inherited by his descendants. If there are no descendants, they can be inherited by his relatives and can be passed down from generation to generation."
"There are at least tens of thousands of soldiers in Jizhou," Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but start to settle the score in her heart when she heard this: "Even if one person has ten acres, that is more than one million acres. Can you Jizhou have so much free land, and can you give it to the soldiers?"
"Has the old lady forgotten?" Han Zhan said: "I have just said that in the near future, I will raise an army to attack Qingzhou and Bingzhou. With these two states, not to mention more than one million acres of land, no matter how much it is, it is not a problem."
Just as Han Zhan and Mrs. Zhang were talking in the living room, two middle-aged men in casual clothes hurriedly came from outside the mansion. The soldiers on duty inside and outside the mansion bowed and said, "See the big leader!"
Hu Zhi, who was standing outside the hall chatting with Guo Jia and Xiahou Yun, couldn't help but change his face when he saw these two people, and murmured: "Why did they come here?"
Guo Jia guessed their identities from the soldiers' attitude towards the two. He sneered and asked Hu Zhi in a low voice: "Military Hu, if Jia is not wrong, the two people who came were Sun Qing, Wang Dang, right?"
"That's right, it's them both." After Hu Zhi said that, he tried hard to squeeze out a smile on his face, quickly met him, and saluted them: "Two big leaders, long time no see, I wonder how good you have been recently?"
"No, not good at all." The short and fat middle-aged man said, "There are people in the Black Mountain who are sting in the outside world and colluding with outsiders, trying to hand over all the foundation that the old lord finally built to others. How could we live a good life?" The other party's sarcasm made Hu Zhi's face turn red and white, but he seemed to be deeply afraid of the two, and he just acted like he was being taught, but did not refute.
As the two walked towards the living room with big strides, Xiahou Yun couldn't see it anymore. She said to Hu Zhi: "Military Hu, no matter what, you are the military advisors of the Black Mountain Army. How can you be afraid of the two people just now?"
"Miss Xiahou, you don't know anything." Hu Zhi said with a bitter face: "The one who just spoke was Sun Qing, the leader of the Black Mountain Army. At that time, he was uprising with his old lord. Even if my lord met him, he would make him three points, let alone me."
"The other person should be Wang Dang." Guo Jia looked at the backs of the two and said thoughtfully: "I wonder who among them is more prestigious?"
"Of course it's Sun Qing." Hu Zhen said angrily: "Wang Dang has always been the only one who follows him. If the Black Mountain Army wants to surrender to Jizhou, unless he convinces Sun Qing first, even if my lord agrees, a mutiny may occur."
When Sun Qing and Wang Dang walked into the living room, they happened to hear Han Zhan explaining the Yongyetian incident to Mrs. Zhang. They were about to have an attack, but Mrs. Zhang waved her hand at them and said, "Sun Qing, Wang Dang, you are here. Let's sit down aside. I want to listen to the Tinghou talking about the Yongyetian incident."
Seeing the old lady speaking, Sun Qing and Wang Dang did not dare to act rashly, they sat down on the side and stared at Han Zhan opposite him with fierce eyes. But Han Sui turned a blind eye to the two of them's hatred eyes and continued to tell Mrs. Zhang about Yongyetian's level allocation.
After Han Zhan finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang pointed at Sun Qing and Wang Dang, who were in the lower head, and asked Han Zhan with a smile: "Mr. Ting, I want to ask, if they were unwilling to stay in Heishan and planned to go to another place, how would you arrange them?"
Although Han Zhan didn't know the two people, seeing Mrs. Zhang's attitude towards them, he guessed that the two should be the most difficult Sun Qing and Wang Dang. He pondered for a moment, and then said: "If these two leaders are unwilling to continue to stay in Heishan, I am willing to arrange for them to go to Beihai, and each of them can retain five hundred private soldiers. As for the land, each of the two leaders can share 10,000 acres of land, and each of their soldiers can share at least ten acres..."
After waiting for Han Zhan to sit down, Mrs. Zhang asked with a smile: "Mr. Ting, I want to ask, are there anything you have to do when you run to Heishan from such a faraway place in Yecheng?"
When Han Zhan heard Mrs. Zhang's question, he immediately aroused the warning. He thought to himself: Judging from the current situation, Zhang Yan must have not come to see Mrs. Zhang.
