Chapter 2032 The Power of Self-Preservation
Sun Bai, Sun Qian and Zheng Sangge made an appointment to meet Shao Yunduan that day to discuss things.
They had no good feelings towards the government, and never really considered themselves as government officials. They were just happy to follow Shao Yunduan.
The world is on the verge of chaos now, with the three giants at the top fighting each other. Just wait and see, some big families and forces who want to take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters and rob others will soon emerge.
When there is no unified government order, all kinds of evil spirits and puppets will surely emerge.
At this time, the law is not very effective. Whoever has the stronger fist is the one who has the better opinion.
Especially in the capital, within the boundaries that the three princes have each defined, if powerful people who have surrendered to them do something illegal and domineering, will they be likely to punish them severely?
Impossible!
Just turn a blind eye.
Although Anzezhou City is remote, we still have to make preparations.
It is best to plan everything before taking action and to prepare for a rainy day.
At least, you need to have some ability to protect yourself.
Shao Yunduan also agreed.
So, after a few people discussed, Zheng Sangge and Sun Bai recruited a lot of yamen runners for training. At the same time, they also bought more than 100 teenagers aged 12 to 15 or 16 from local and other places. A small number of them stayed in the large yard where Zheng Sangge and his team lived for training, and most of them were secretly sent to the ranch in Mili Town for training.
Just in case someone really wants to take advantage of Shao Yunduan's misfortune and target him, it would not hurt for Shao Yunduan to have more people in his hands.
Now that there is chaos at the top, not only in Anze City, but also in other places, government offices have more or less expanded their staff as long as they can afford it and conditions permit.
Shao Yunduan is not short of money, and the people of Anzezhou City have a mysterious confidence in Lord Shao. When the provincial government announced that it was recruiting people, countless young people flocked to it.
If we hand these people over to Sun Bai, Sun Qian and others for training, they will be able to perform well in less than three months.
The battle between the Fourth Prince and the Third Prince lasted longer than anyone expected, lasting until April of the following year, and the city of Jinan was in danger.
The Fourth Prince was greatly encouraged. He sent more men and drew another 80,000 troops from the local area, hoping to destroy the Third Prince in one fell swoop, boost morale and demonstrate his authority.
Unexpectedly, the second prince, who had been working silently without asking any questions, suddenly made a move at this moment.
Every move is a big one.
On the one hand, he assassinated two generals who supported the Fourth Prince, and on the other hand, he sent troops to ambush the Fourth Prince's reinforcements.
The Fourth Prince's reinforcements were defeated in complete disarray!
The Third Prince took the opportunity to send troops out of the city to attack and win a small victory. He killed many of the Fourth Prince's men, and most importantly, burned their granaries.
The Fourth Prince is going crazy!
But he couldn't do anything about either of them.
The furious Fourth Prince put on an orthodox attitude, issued an order to the northwest, and dispatched the Northwest Army to Jinan to fight against the rebels.
Unexpectedly, the Northwest Army did not respond to the call, saying that there were not enough men to be deployed. They were defending the border and dared not relax or leave without permission.
The Northwest Army would certainly not listen to the Fourth Prince. In fact, they didn't want to listen to any of the princes now.
A series of backbone generals of today's Northwest Army have more or less benefited from General Zhao.
The old general died unjustly in the past because of his great achievements. He did not die on the battlefield, but died due to the emperor's suspicion, and his entire family was executed.
All the generals were disheartened. If the old general had not ordered them to hold the northern border and protect the peace of the people of Qin, many of them would have quit their jobs out of dismay.
