Chapter 194 Self-preservation first

"The eldest son loves his brothers, so he is naturally good for the other sons."

Gao Jin looked at Du Hongyu's sneering expression and knew that in the general's mansion, the eldest son and the three brothers were very unfriendly.

"Gao Baihu, even you heard the wind and rushed to Camel City. Do you think my brothers are too incompetent? You have to plot against others and put their faces on others. In the end, you will let others know before they can do it. Tsk tsk..."

Seeing Du Hongyu say this, Gao Jin realized that it was time for him to express his attitude, so he hurriedly said, "The eldest son, the other sons are not as good as the eldest son after all, and it is reasonable to be unreliable."

"Gaobaihu, although you and I first met, you should understand that many people in this Camel City regard you as my person. Now I am being called a general by my father, and many people are waiting to see my joke!"

"Don't worry, the eldest son, Gubeizhai is the eldest son's property, and the subordinates will never let those people succeed."

Gao Jin patted his chest and said, looking like a heroic warrior. Du Hongyu's words were right. In this Camel City, Gao Jin was indeed labeled as the eldest son. Everyone would regard him as a Du Hongyu. He even dared to guarantee that when he left the General's Mansion, the news that he came to pay homage to Du Hongyu would spread all over the city.

"Although my three younger brothers are not good, there are many stupid people who stick to them. Although they are all small families and local tyrants, they are all made up, and I guess they can still pull a thousand people out."

Du Hongyu looked down on his three brothers. He did not distinguish between the parties for personal gain. He dared to ask for anyone, and even the spies he sent could not tell the difference. If his father had not allowed them to do so, he would have cleaned up them all long ago.

When Gao Jin heard the thousand people mentioned by Du Hongyu, his face, which was originally calm, showed a shock. He really didn't expect that this young master would be so jealous. This team of thousands of people would probably clean up the green forest bandits near Camel City.

"The eldest son, only a thousand mobs, can still be defended by the subordinates."

Gao Jin said with a pretentious attitude that in fact, if the people in Gubei Village are used as guarding the city, more than a thousand people are really not enough. After all, Gubei Village itself is a city. Before he left, he asked Hou San and Dong Bufang to repair the city wall. It was thanks to him that he had taken away the fugitives from the nearby villages into the city. It was not difficult to gather two or three hundred soldiers guarding the city.

But in front of Du Hongyu, Gao Jin naturally could not be so confident. His slightly hesitant tone was just right now.

"It's not OK to just keep it!"

Du Hongyu shook his head. Such a good opportunity, it would be not easy to find such an opportunity in the future. "Gaobaihu, what I want is that all the thieves must stay outside the pass, so don't think about coming back."

"Young Master, although the subordinates dare to fight, they can fight, but their weapons are not in place, and if the thieves have cannons to attack the city..."

"I can tell you how many thieves are there, when to set out, and how much food, fodder and weapons are. As for the weapons you are short of, I can also make up for you, but you need to tell me, can you do what I said?"

Du Hongyu stared at Gao Jin, the smile on his face disappeared, his eyes were cold. The Camel City has always been a general of flowing water, a strong general and a local tyrant. His Du family is not from Yansui Town. He has only been here for three generations so far, so he can't say that he has any foundation.

His uncle Du Song became the general and was demoted to the family. Although he was defeated, and his temper was too strong and he did not like the officials in the court, it was said that this group of local generals and powerful people were slanderous. They liked to preserve their strength whenever they encountered wars. The servants in their mansion and the thieves kept outside were used to fight against the general's mansion.

The General's Office is indeed a big deal. It can be suppressed by two or three companies, but it can still be suppressed by dozens of companies. It is looking at Taiping here, but the Tartars in Hetao are also staring at Yansui Town. If the General's Office is weak, the Tartars will dare to confuse the border.

The reason why my father acquiesced to the three brothers to fight with him was to make the generals and powerful men unable to work together to let them get involved in the fight between their brothers, so that the General's Mansion can adjust in the center and establish some prestige.

"Don't worry, if you know the movements of the thieves and the strength of the troops, if the subordinates cannot keep them all outside the pass, the subordinates are willing to apologize."

Seeing that Du Hongyu had a complete murderous intention to fight those men and horses, Gao Jin couldn't help but feel awesome, but this was exactly what he wanted, so he naturally promised.

"Okay, then I will believe you once, Gao Baihu, don't let me down!"

Du Hongyu wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. There were not many generals and powerful men gathered by his three brothers. The momentum was great enough, and it was enough to use it as a chicken. However, he could not end up in person in Gubei Village. Only by letting Gao Jin take this battle alone can the opponent do his best.

"The subordinates will not disappoint the eldest son, but this is just about the ordnance?"

"Don't worry, my General's Mansion's arsenal, and you can choose the armory of a hundred households."

Since Gao Jin and his death power were to be strong, Du Hongyu naturally was willing to take out enough weapons to Gao Jin. In his arsenal of the General's Mansion, there were not those in the lower garrisons. Armors were good armor, swords were sharp blades, and bows were strong bows. They were all real guys, without any vain.

"Young Master, don't you know that the lower officials might choose some firearm equipment?"

After receiving Du Hongyu's guarantee, Gao Jin couldn't help asking, "He has no shortage of swords, guns, armor, and these things are there. In the future, Hekou Fort can be opened to make iron and steel. Only this firearm can be made in a short time. Since he has the chance to get it, he doesn't have to spend money, so he will naturally not let it go."

"You can just want a firearm, but the number is too large. I just recently got a batch of bird guns, and I have fifty guns with you. I'll have five tigers. "

Du Hongyu was quite generous, so he gave Gao Jin fifty bird guns and five tiger squat cannons at once. This tiger squat cannon is the most equipped cannon in the Ming border army at present, but the number of good cannons that can be used is not too many.

"Thank you, my eldest son."

Gao Jin smiled and had these bird guns and cannons, plus a hundred-household armored swords and guns, he was very sure to leave all the thieves in Gubei Village, and just waited for the beginning of spring to dig coal, and he would never come back in his life.

"Go and meet Mr. Guan. If I have news here, I will send someone to Liu's mansion."

"Yes, the eldest son."

Hearing Du Hongyu's last words, Gao Jin's face also changed. He knew that this was Du Hongyu's beating, which means that the Camel City was under his control. You must know that after he and Liu Xun entered the city, he did not go to the Liu Mansion at all, but he came straight to the General Mansion, but his movements were all clearly understood by this eldest son.

Du Hongyu left, and the soldiers he called sent Gao into the villa where Guan Ye was.

When they arrived in the courtyard again, the two servants beside Mr. Guan disappeared, and the incense burners, braziers, chessboards and other things were gone. Mr. Guan was still sitting under the old plum tree and talking to Chen Shengyang's big eyes.

Seeing Gao Jin, Mr. Guan got up and called several people to go to the wing room in the yard. After closing the door, Mr. Guan asked Gao Jin, "Xiao Gao, what did the eldest son say to you?"

"Master Guan, the eldest son said that the other three young masters really want to attack Gubeizhai. Their ability to use more than a thousand people, and the eldest son asked me to keep all those people outside the pass."

Of course, Gao Jin had nothing to hide from Mr. Guan, but Chen Sheng next to him frowned, and Yang's eyes shone in his eyes.

"It seems that the eldest son has made up his mind!"

Mr. Guan sighed, then looked at Gao Jin, "Xiao Gao, the old man tells you the truth. There are many generals and powerful people in this Camel City. These people have always been rebellious, and they are just respectful to the General's Mansion on the surface. When it comes to a big battle, they are often both ends of the head and rat, and they are more important to preserve their strength."

Gao Jin nodded. The strong people here are respected. Whether it is the general or the powerful, what they really rely on is their own force. They follow the general's office to fight. Naturally, everyone is willing to work hard. However, in this tough battle, who is willing to use their own strength to earn that little credit? You must know that unless it is a rebellion like the Goryeo Japanese Rebellion and the Bozhou Rebellion, the court is willing to pay for the merits. For example, the border war in Yansui Town, the court has always been stingy, and even thinks that the border general is good at engaging in border provocations. It is fine if he wins, but he will be involved if he loses.

"Don't worry, Master Guan, I understand. The eldest son wants to take this opportunity to clean up the generals and powerful men, but I just need me to be this evil man. In the future, my reputation in Gao Jin in Camel City will be in a mess."

Gao Jin could see through it. There was no benefit in this world that was given in vain. Du Hongyu was willing to give him benefits and was willing to give him weapons, so he wanted him to do such dirty work. However, if someone else had to care about the generals and powerful men in Camel City, he didn't care.

Mr. Guan looked at Gao Jin and didn't know what to say. After Gao Jin did this, he could only rely on the eldest son and the general's mansion in the future, otherwise he would be attacked by the generals and powerful men in the Camel City.

Yang Dayan was confused by the side, but Chen Sheng understood it. He wanted to speak, but when he thought of the principles his second brother taught him, he also suppressed it. The second brother said that he had to be strong himself. As long as they were strong in the future, any court and rules would be bullshit.

"By the way, Mr. Guan, I'll bring your stuff back for you. I'll have someone take it to you at home in a while."

Seeing that Mr. Guan was quite worried, Gao Jin laughed instead. He really didn't mind being the lonely minister of the eldest son. He never thought of being friends with the generals and powerful men in Luotuo City. Everyone's way was wrong. He was this lonely minister. If there was a conflict of interest between the two sides in the future, he would be able to deal with these people with justification.

"Okay, I'll go to the old man's house tonight and just meet Mulan. Should you do your marriage be held in Camel City or go back to Hekou Fort?"
