Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 157 Can't I have a little money in my hand?

These people who came are Du Yinxi and the others.

It can be described as untold hardships along the way, dodging wave after wave of thieves, and finally found Xiao Yuanying.

Although it was the imperial decree that Du Yinxi was required to come to summon security, he was still more cautious, and first inquired about the situation in Xia Xiaoyuan's camp.

Unexpectedly, this little Yuan Ying is really different.

The other thieves' teams are huge in number, and there are many old and weak among them.

However, most of Xiaoyuanying's side are young and strong.Therefore, although the number is small, only about [-] people, their combat power should not be underestimated.

Out of curiosity, he first asked about the situation.As a result, he was a little dumbfounded.

Xiao Yuanying's style is more official than that of the imperial court!At least when it comes to treating ordinary people, that's it!
The thieves in these Xiaoyuan camps basically participated voluntarily.

Even if it is the only seedling in the family, Xiao Yuanying will not accept it.

However, in order to survive, Xiao Yuanying would also attack Zhenbao County and the like, and search those landlords and officials with a bad reputation.

However, in troubled times, the people are like fish and meat, so what if you treat the people well?Those people are controlled by the local gentry, so they still think that Xiao Yuanying is a thief!
The powerful ones are all thieves, robbers, and officials and gentry, and it just so happens that Xiao Yuan Ying is either incompatible with them, or is their enemy.This approach finally made it difficult for Xiao Yuanying himself.

After asking and understanding these, Du Yinxi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Your Majesty is so wise!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and said to his companions: "In today's world, if you want to recruit thieves, it is only effective to recruit these thieves who have not lost their conscience! Like the Eight Great Kings and King Chuang, And how could he be sincerely recruited by the imperial court!"

"Your Majesty is naturally very wise!" Yu Kefang, the servant who had heard the edict before, immediately cupped his hands and bowed in the direction of the capital.

Seeing him like this, Du Yinxi lost interest in talking, and immediately decided to go to Yuan Shizhong, the leader of Xiaoyuanying.

No, it didn't take long, and he met Yuan Shizhong in the landlord's lobby.

A typical northern man with a tall stature, not a fierce face.If it is a Taiping period, it may be hard work to make a living.

At the same time, Yuan Shizhong was naturally looking at the prefect of Changsha.

He can also tell at a glance that this is a scholar.This can be felt immediately from the temperament.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help admiring him, but on the surface, he shouted and asked: "I am a thief who murdered officials and rebelled. You are the prefect of Changsha, aren't you afraid that I will kill you? No, you are Fake it?"

On both sides of the hall, there were all the leaders of Xiao Yuanying, who came to watch when they heard the commotion.

Hearing Yuan Shizhong's words at this time, they were all curious and looked at Du Yinxi to see how he would answer.

Some leaders even deliberately patted the knife on their waists, making iron sounds.

"My official is Du Yinxi, the former prefect of Changsha!" How could Du Yinxi be frightened, and said directly, "I have come to the capital by order. This is Eunuch Yu, who delivered the order to this official, and they are Jin Yiwei. Captain!"

Having said that, he turned back again, looked at Yuan Shizhong and continued, "I have ordered you to come here to recruit Xiao Yuanying, and take them to the capital together."

"..." Hearing this, everyone including Yuan Shizhong couldn't help being dumbfounded.

It's not that they haven't thought about recruiting them, but they never thought that the one who recruited them was not the local officials or the governor-general who suppressed thieves, but the emperor of Ming Dynasty who was far away in the capital!

"Do you really think we are three-year-olds?" Yuan Zhuangfei came back to his senses and couldn't help shouting angrily, "How could the current emperor specially order to recruit us. I have never heard of such a thing before!"

In the past, some recruitments were made by the local governments themselves, and finally reported to the emperor.

Yuan Shizhong didn't believe it either, but when Yuan Zhuangfei opened his mouth, he didn't speak.

After hearing this, Du Yinxi nodded and said: "This matter is really unimaginable. To be honest, when I first received the order, I was a little unbelievable. But after the order came, I inquired Let me tell you about your affairs, I believe that someone should have told the heavens about your situation, so this order came about."

Having said that, he glanced at the thieves leaders in the lobby, and then continued: "It's hard for me to imagine why this official was chosen for this recruiting matter. However, the fact is that it is the case. I have verified the official's will. No mistake. The imperial decree given to you is also true. They are also true!"

As he spoke, he pointed to his companions, and finally looked at Yuan Shizhong, and said earnestly, "I can see that you are thieves and you have no other choice. Now that the emperor orders peace, it is your great opportunity. From then on From now on, when I serve the imperial court, I will enshrine my wife and son, and return to my hometown in glory; in front of the ancestral ancestral hall, I will comfort my ancestors, what regrets do I have in life? Yuan Shizhong, would you like to accept the order?"

Yuan Shizhong, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke when he heard this: "If I accept the recruitment, will I go to the capital with you?"

Generally speaking, after recruiting security, they are driven to fight other thieves.How can there be any reason to recruit them and then take them to the capital?
Du Yinxi listened, nodded, and did not speak.Hence the answer, which he has said before.

He also understood that Yuan Shizhong didn't hear clearly, but just wanted to confirm.

Seeing Yuan Zhuangfei nearby, he hurriedly said to Yuan Shizhong: "Brother, I'm afraid this is a fraud!"

It's really such an arrangement, it's too weird and unreasonable!

The other leader also echoed after hearing this: "That's right, the head of the family! Maybe the officers and soldiers are ambushed somewhere, and they will take us away!"

When Du Yinxi heard this, he immediately sneered and said: "I will go to the capital with you, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

According to what this person said just now, if the officers and soldiers ambushed them halfway, I don't know if Yuan Shizhong and the others could be wiped out. Du Yinxi, who was also in the team, would definitely be killed first!
Hearing his words, another leader guessed: "That is, after arriving in the capital, we will be cleaned up! At that time, you have left, what should we do?"

"Hahaha..." Hearing this, Du Yinxi couldn't help laughing, causing everyone in the lobby to stop talking and look at him.

Fortunately, he didn't laugh for a long time, so he stopped laughing, stared at the person who spoke just now and asked, "You only have five thousand people. As for His Majesty, you have to take such trouble to destroy you?"

"..." Upon hearing his words, everyone was speechless immediately.

Because they all know that the prefect of Changsha is right.

Today there are Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Gezuo Fifth Battalion, etc. who are more powerful than them. Xiao Yuanying is really ordinary among the many bandits.

Just relying on them, any fool knows how the emperor, who manages everything every day, can deal with them so painstakingly.It's almost the same to use this method to deal with Li Zicheng and the others!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shi made a decision in the center, and immediately clasped his fists and said to Du Yinxi: "To tell the truth, my lord, we were all forced to rebel because we had nowhere to go. We always wanted to submit to the imperial court but had nowhere to go. Now the emperor is coming down." The decree, even if it is a mountain of swords and seas of fire, I, Yuan Shizhong, will go forward. If it succeeds, it will be regarded as a future for the brothers; if it fails, it will be nothing but death!"

Speaking of this, he said with a look of admiration: "My lord dares to come to my camp. Is it possible that I, Yuan Shizhong, are not as courageous as a scholar?"

Yuan Zhuangfei and others did not speak after hearing this.Everyone looked at Du Yinxi with admiration!
Ordinary officials would not dare to come like this.It's not that there have been no recruitments before, and they were sent to contact in advance. Even so, no civil servant dared to enter the camp alone.

This prefect of Changsha is really courageous!The rebels who are so big that they lick their blood are all very admirable!
When Du Yinxi heard this, he immediately smiled and said to Yuan Shizhong: "So, let Yuan Zhuang take the order!"

………………

Whether it is the matter of Kaifeng or the matter of Du Yinxi recruiting An Xiaoyuanying, it is impossible to spread to the capital soon.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was still busy with strengthening the army.

The Yongwei Battalion will be expanded, and the Beijing Battalion will be reorganized. There are many things to do!
All of these are inseparable from the word money and food.

He wholeheartedly wants to strengthen the army, so there is no such thing as a practice every three days or a practice every five days. He practices to the death every day, and to become a strong army as soon as possible is his goal.

In this way, the consumption of food will increase.

However, because the eight major Shanxi merchants have just been inspected, at least in the short term, they don't have to worry about food.

However, the money and food in his hands are naturally being thought about by someone.

No, the memorial of Li Yutian, governor of Liaodong, was placed on his desk, asking him for money and food.

The reason is very simple. After the Battle of Songjin, the Guan Ning Army will also be reorganized. It will not work if there is no money or food!
Moreover, Li Yutian strongly emphasized in the memorial that the morale of the Guanning army was low and the morale of the army was lax. If the Jianlu took the opportunity to attack, even though the city of Ningyuan was strong and the danger of Shanhaiguan was dangerous, it might not be able to stop the Jianlu.

The implication is that if Emperor Chongzhen does not give it, the Shanhaiguan defense line may fall.The matter is very important, it is better to give money and food!

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this memorial, if it was changed from the previous one, he must have been very concerned about it.

If Shanhaiguan fell into the hands of Jianlu, Jianlu would not have to detour through the Mongolian grasslands, and it would be easy to enter the pass!
Therefore, as long as Emperor Chongzhen had money and food in his hands, Guan Ning's army would definitely be given priority.

At least that's what he used to do.

However, this time, instead of worrying, he flew into a rage, slapping the imperial case and cursing away.

"This Li Yutian dared to threaten me. How dare you eat a bear's heart and leopard?"

"What did I send him there to eat? He only asks for money and food, who wouldn't?"

"Seeing that I finally got some money and food in my hands, I just stared at it? Can't I have some money and food in my hands?"

"..."
