Chapter 146: Conquering Lin Huaiwu (Thanks to book friends Pipixiapapaxiongpai and Dong Geliang for their rewards)
Moreover, once Ye Mingsheng, who appreciated and tolerated him, was transferred, no one knew what the next commander would be like. What if the new commander didn't tolerate any sand in his eyes and didn't allow him to do any small tricks? He might earn less money than before...
Therefore, Lin Huaiwu thought about it and decided that the only way to change this predicament was to change the environment and follow Ye Mingsheng to Liaoyang for development. Although he had this idea, judging from the promise Ye Mingsheng made at the time, his official position in Liaoyang would only be a sentry leader, which was just a promotion of one level, and the temptation was not that great.

In addition, Lin Huaiwu himself was still somewhat concerned about the bitter cold in Liaoyang, and he could not make a decision.

After learning that Ye Mingsheng had been promoted three levels in a row and became the Tiger General of the Zhenwu Army, Lin Huaiwu was surprised, but he no longer had any concerns and made his final decision.

If he couldn't make it in this day and age, he still had to come out and follow a good brother. When Ye Mingsheng gained power, he would naturally rise with him. He might even be able to jump a few levels like Ye Mingsheng and become the commander of the Zhenwu Army.

Lin Huaiwu originally thought that Ye Mingsheng would gladly accept his surrender, but unfortunately, the opposite happened and Ye Mingsheng now seemed to be rejecting him.

Under Ye Mingsheng's secret gaze, Lin Huaiwu's face changed drastically. He was already moved and could not accept his previous tight life. He wanted to follow Ye Mingsheng and go to Liaoyang to make a fortune!

With this thought in mind, Lin Huaiwu no longer hesitated, and knelt down in front of Ye Mingsheng with a plop, and said firmly:

"I have made up my mind. Even if I have to be an ordinary soldier, I am willing to follow you!"

After he finished speaking, Lin Huaiwu started to kowtow his head "bang bang bang" without waiting for Ye Mingsheng to speak. This guy was also a ruthless person. He kowtowed his head with a banging sound and his forehead turned red immediately...

Ye Mingsheng, who just wanted to control Lin Huaiwu, of course understood the principle of "too much is as bad as too little". When he saw Lin Huaiwu's posture, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately helped Lin Huaiwu up from the ground with his own hands.

"Since Huaiwu is so determined, my door will certainly be open to you!"

Having said this, Ye Mingsheng paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it's hard to get a general. With a talent like you, Huaiwu, who would be willing to let you become an ordinary soldier? Don't worry, my promise to you still counts!"

The art of controlling subordinates is to use both kindness and power. Now that he has power, it is natural for him to give Lin Huaiwu some sweet benefits so that he will be more loyal to him.

Hearing Ye Mingsheng say this, Lin Huaiwu was stunned at first, then he instantly remembered the promise Ye Mingsheng made to him when they were still in the palace. He was very sad a second ago, but a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face, and he immediately pretended to kneel down again and said:

"Your Excellency has shown me great kindness, and I will never be able to repay you even if I die a thousand times!"

"Okay, okay, you have to stay and be useful, serve the court, and serve me, Ye!" Ye Mingsheng supported him and said earnestly:

"I will obey your orders!" Lin Huaiwu said respectfully.

After the business was over, Ye Mingsheng followed Chen Dechang's example and kept Lin Huaiwu at his home. He only let him leave after a simple meal. After seeing Lin Huaiwu off, Ye Mingsheng was a little bit full of confidence. Six or seven people on the list of recruits he gave to Ye Tie had already responded, and were willing to follow him to serve in the Zhenwu Army.

With these people plus Lin Huaiwu, he already has the prototype of a small team under his command. With their help, when he returns to Liaoyang, his recruitment work will probably go more smoothly...

After noon, Ye Mingsheng suddenly remembered that although he was transferred to the Zhenwu Army, he had not yet completed the handover procedures with his original unit. So when he was about to go to the Beiling camp, Ye Tie came to the study, holding a silver plate engraved with the words "Da Longchang", and reported to him:

"Master, there's someone outside claiming to be from the Dalongchang Company who wants to see you!"

Looking at the silver plate made of pure silver in Ye Tie's hand, Ye Mingsheng's eyes showed a hint of doubt. Although the Dalongchang Company was not as famous as the three major banks Guangshengyuan, Baichuantong and Yishanhe, it was also one of the most famous companies in Zhou, mainly engaged in the business of grain, oil and wooden products. Some of the furniture in Ye Mingsheng's home came from this Dalongchang Company.

Although Ye Mingsheng didn't know much about Da Longchang, and didn't know what the silver medal represented in Da Longchang, he could see that the silver medal was made of pure silver, weighing at least ten taels of silver, and it was made very delicately. Therefore, the person who could use this silver medal must not be an ordinary person in Da Longchang...
Although the other party is famous, if Ye Mingsheng remembers correctly, he has no dealings with the Dalongchang Trading Company. Why would the other party suddenly want to see him?
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng immediately asked, "Did he say what he came for?"

"No, I just wanted to see you, young master, and my words were quite polite." Ye Tie shook his head and continued:
Upon hearing this, the doubt in Ye Mingsheng's eyes undoubtedly became three times more intense.

Seeing Ye Mingsheng was hesitant, Ye Tie suggested, "Master, do you want me to refuse?"

"Let him in!" Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and ordered:
Although I don't know why the people from Da Longchang want to see me, but the brand of Da Longchang is still very famous in Da Zhou. Just for the sake of the brand of Da Longchang, I should meet him...
After receiving the order, Ye Tie nodded and took the silver medal back. Then he brought a middle-aged man who was well-dressed, had an ordinary appearance and a slightly fat body to Ye Mingsheng.

"I, Liu Chunfu, greet General Ye!" Upon seeing Ye Mingsheng, the middle-aged man immediately bowed.

Seeing him calling himself "General", Ye Mingsheng, who had just become a general, frowned slightly and then said:
"You know me?"

In response to Ye Mingsheng's question, the middle-aged man who called himself Liu Chunfu did not say anything, but his eyes were looking at Ye Tie who was standing beside him.

Seeing him like this, Ye Tie understood what he meant and cast an inquiring look at Ye Mingsheng.

Although he didn't know why this man who called himself Liu Chunfu came to see him, Ye Mingsheng hesitated for a moment and then said in a deep voice:
"He is the captain of my personal guards and the person I trust the most. Just speak directly and don't be mysterious!"
