As a local tyrant from a civilian background, Zhang always keeps in mind one principle in the face of the changes of the world and the changing situation, and holds two swords in his hand, one is wealth and the other is feminine. With these two sharp weapons, he trusted you to change the flag of the king, and I was unimpeded and invincible. That's true.
Let's see how he got rich first. Zhang, a native of Juancheng, Shandong Province, is an out-and-out farmer who has been digging in the soil for generations. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, some smoke came out of the tomb of the Zhang family, and Zhang became the only official in the three generations of the Zhang family. At that time, his work name was Sifu, which literally translated as a peasant's petty official. To put it bluntly, he is roughly the same as the current village official. During this time, no one took a serious look at him. It is said that leaders at the county and township levels also make fun of Zhang from time to time, and village officials are very unhappy.
Everyone is ambitious, but Zhang refuses to accept his fate. He firmly believes that with his clever brain, he may not be a great event or a master! Huang Chao, like many speculators in troubled times, gathered troops to overthrow the Tang Dynasty. Zhang, a small village official, felt that this was an opportunity to change his destiny. He resolutely joined in and was willing to lead the horse and stirrup for Huang Chao. Soon got the appreciation and trust of Huang Chao.
Huang Chao, with great momentum, won Chang 'an, Tang Dou, and confidently announced the establishment of the Daqi regime. Zhang Ziran got a piece of cake, a big bowl of delicious soup, and was appointed as the minister of etiquette (minister of personnel organization) of the Daqi Dynasty, in charge of the selection and appointment of senior leading cadres.
Unfortunately, Daqi Day was not a festival year, and Huang Chao was quickly wiped out by loyalists in the Tang Dynasty. Seeing a genial situation, the minister quit, and Zhang immediately turned around and ran to Heyang (now Mengxian County, Henan Province), bowing down and taking refuge in Zhuge Shuang, a warlord in the Tang Dynasty. Zhuge Shuang recommended him as the secretariat of Zezhou (now Jincheng, Shanxi).
It's really hard to find a backer, and it's even harder to consolidate it. Natural and man-made disasters can upset your wishful thinking at any time. A few days later, Zhuge Shuang died, and all the military and political power fell to his son Zhuge Zhongfang. There are Li in the old department, and whoever refuses to accept it is fighting for Luoyang. Li gained the upper hand and defeated, and announced that he would win Heyang, the stronghold, and kill Zhuge Zhongfang. Hurriedly sent Zhang Yinbing to resist. Zhang weighed it for a long time, but he didn't use it as cannon fodder. He took his troops out of town. Instead of fighting Li, he shook hands and made peace, forming an alliance, and last stand attacked Heyang. Who knows that this time, Zhang miscalculated and Li succumbed to the attack and was defeated in one round. In desperation, Zhang pulled Li Xiang-jin Wang Li Keyong for help. With the support of Li Keyong, Zhuge He was finally kicked out, Li Ruyuan got Heyang, and Zhang's harvest was to become Henan Yin.
After several twists and turns, Zhang found that this officialdom is really changing rapidly. Without a solid industrial foundation, everything in front of him is finished. He believes that only money can make the mare go, and everything else is idle. Now, he is determined to take his own pragmatic way to get rich. When Yin people were in Henan, they began to manage agriculture, collecting money for themselves in the name of seemingly benefiting one side of the people. It didn't take long for him to become a rich chaebol, a local tyrant and a role that no politician can underestimate.
Wealth is capital and wealth is the right to speak. Zhang became a rich man. No matter how high his position was, he had to look up to an official. However, Zhang was not carried away by wealth. He is sober. Those big shots respect him, but money, not him. Tomorrow, he will become poor. Look again, it seems that no one has seen you at all. I don't know your name.
Since wealth is the premise for people to pursue and make friends with him, it is the most important thing to please bureaucrats and consolidate their wealth status. According to the weakness of human nature, Zhang concluded that if local tyrants want to survive for a long time, they must hold two swords, one is a mountain of real money and the other is a thrilling young woman. Money is the two most effective weapons against bureaucrats and politicians.
As Henan Yin, Zhang was in Li's place after all, so he was the first to say hello to Li. Not to mention personal gifts. In recent years, Zhang has paid all the salaries. It's just that this guy Li really can't wait on Zhang, and his salary is not used to run the army. All of them have been ruined by military guys at all levels, and the team has no fighting capacity. Seeing that this is a bottomless pit, Zhang raised a group of lazy people, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. When Li invaded Jinzhou and Jiangzhou, Zhang simply ended Li's lair, and Henan Yin served as Heyang's envoy.
You can support a warlord and bureaucrat, but if you seek his territory, he will immediately oppose you. Li saw Zhang Quanyi playing with him while he was in danger. Of course, he got red-eyed and quit. He turned to Li Keyong, the king of Jin, for help, intending to destroy Zhang. Li Can where thought, quan-yi zhang had prepared. At that time, the most powerful force in the Central Plains was Zhu Quanzhong, who later usurped the Tang Dynasty to build a girder. Quan-yi zhang escorting with money, early dredge attached to Zhu Quanzhong. With great help, Zhang Heyang was unscathed.
Zhang Quanyi knew that Zhu Quanzhong was not a white man to rely on, and there was nothing dry for him. Can he be my umbrella willingly? Zhu Quanzhong has great power. He has been plotting to abolish the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and sit in the dragon chair himself. Zhang mastered his mind, was extremely active, fully cooperated and generously helped. So the effectiveness of heart and soul, Zhu Quanzhong nature won't mistreat him. Before the founding of Liang, Zhang was entrusted with the fattest project, that is, to build the future capital Luoyang Miyagi. Think about it. How much did Zhang Can Quan Yi get from this? For example, it is not difficult to guess: Zhang Shunshun built his own manor in Luoyang, named Huijie Garden, pavilions, mountain pools and pavilions, and everything was spectacular.
Zhu Quanzhong built a girder and became an emperor. He hasn't forgotten this brother, Zhang. In addition to staying in Heyang as our envoy and Henan Yin, he also gave the title of Zhang Wangwei.
Zhang is very shrewd and has not got carried away. He knows that the present Emperor Zhu is not the former General Zhu, so he must wait on him more carefully. As a rich man, he spent a lot of money on Emperor Zhu. How can we further flatter him? Zhang used another sword, and this is a woman.
As we all know, Zhu Quanzhong is lewd. In the second year of Ganhua (AD 9 12), Taizu was defeated by the county, and he was terminally ill and returned to Luo. Fortunately, Quan Yi stayed in Xieyuan for ten days, and Quan Yi's wife and daughter were forced to commit adultery. His son was very angry and ashamed. He wanted to kill Mao. He said, "I was a soldier in Li Weihe and Yang, and I ate sawdust." . There is only one horse. I want to kill this army, and I will die sooner or later, but Liang Bing came out today and took it away. "This kindness can't be forgotten!" Next is the ending. To put it simply, in the vernacular, Zhu Quanzhong was defeated in 9 12 and fell ill on his way home. He returned to Luoyang and went to Zhang's Huijie Garden for the summer vacation. He stayed for about ten days, and even Zhang's wife and daughter fell asleep sick. Zhang Quanyi didn't take it seriously, but his son Zhang Jizhuo, a cold boy, didn't understand Dad's intention and wanted to stab the slut emperor Zhu Quanzhong with a knife. Zhang Quanyi earnestly dissuaded him for a long time. Zhang sees the world clearly. Women are just clothes. The emperor likes to wear them. Take it and wear it.
There are many doubts in his later years, and Zhang is no exception. How to keep a clear head? Zhang's only hope is his charming wife Chu. Chu was basically kept by the emperor at that time, with a green hat on his head and a mirror in his heart. Fortunately, Zhu Quanzhong died before him.
The back beam was destroyed in the later Tang Dynasty, and Li drove Zhu away and restored the Tang Dynasty. Zhang is an old hand in have it both ways. As soon as Li conquered Kaifeng, Zhang packed up gold, silver and jewels, loaded several cars and rushed from Luoyang to Kaifeng for an audience. Mud was the first to be punished. I painted my head and face with mud and made a pair of turtle grandchildren. This technique really worked. Li not only pleaded not guilty, but also happily unloaded several cars of jewelry and hosted a banquet for the rich man Zhang. After drinking, Li ordered the appointment of Zhang as the official department minister and continued to be Wang Weihe and Henan Yin.
Zhang is so excited, regardless of his old age, he is about to cry. By the way, Zhang Quanyi's real name is zhangyan, and Quan Yi was given by Tang Zhaozong. After Zhu Quanzhong acceded to the throne, he changed his title to Zong. Now Jiangshan has returned to Li Tang, that is, Zhang Quanyi given by Tang Gaozu.
Excitement returns to excitement. Zhang, an old fox, dare not take chances and dare not slack off. In the later days, he continued to approach the Tang Emperor according to his own survival rules.
Wealth still plays a pioneering role. Zhang donated a large number of fields and houses to the court, which was highly appreciated by Li.
This honey trap works for Li, not because Li is lewd, but mainly because his queen Liu is a fierce person. But this can't beat Zhang, so let's start with the queen. Queen Liu is a greedy Lord. Because of her, Li Cai was lucky and the emperor was encouraged to visit the Zhang family many times. One day, Queen Liu suddenly offered to be Zhang's adopted daughter. At first glance, Zhang thought there was something wrong with her ears. When Emperor Zhuang Zong repeated this sentence, he didn't believe that he had heard it wrong. An old face is hard to hide. The queen wanted to give Platini a big gift, and Zhang quickly fell to his knees in advance.
Of course, Zhang knows that the queen is not really lacking in fatherly love. The queen is after the Jinshan Yinshan of his Zhang family. However, since then, every New Year, Zhang's treasures, such as pearls, agates and gold and silver jewelry, have been transferred to the goddaughter's harem.
Settle the queen, is equal to settle the emperor zhang, the in the mind that a little down-to-earth.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, local tyrants are also very tired, wealth is too eye-catching, and all kinds of gods have to worship. On the other hand, people are still willing to have money.
