Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 217 Secret Contest (Part [-])
"Father, father!"

Zhu Shenxuan shouted in panic, "Come here, come here."

Immediately afterwards, Prince Jin's mansion burst into tears.

King Zhu Qiugui of Jin heard that He Jinchao was attacking Taiyuan. He had been tense these days, and finally settled in Bengbu and drove west by crane.

Now Wang Xiangkun, the second-rank officer who is in charge of Taiyuan's defense, sighed for a while.

Hammer bandit He Jinzhao's vicious reputation scared Jin Wang Zhu Qiugui to death, and this incident caused a great disturbance in Taiyuan City.

In any case, the vassal king is also a four-clawed true dragon.

Now this real dragon was smitten (hong) by a countryman, He Jinzhao, who was like a mayfly.

Then there were rumors in the city, the most exaggerated saying that He Jinzhao was the real dragon, and the fake dragon met the real dragon, so he was crushed to death.

The morale of the military and civilians in Taiyuan City began to decline.

In just one day, Wang Xiangkun, the chief minister of the left, had already received many rumors, and many officials were sweating profusely. If things went on like this, there was no way someone would surrender to He Jinzhao.

After all, superstition is very popular in this era of Ming Dynasty.

"Master Wang, what should I do?"

Wang Xiangkun has been an official for many years, and he has long been happy and angry:

"The hammer bandits must have moved the tombs of King Jin's lineage and destroyed Feng Shui. If the rest of the people don't want their ancestors' graves to be dug up, they need to fight against the enemy and never let Taiyuan fall into the hands of the hammer bandits."

"Lord Wang, this?"

"Quickly go and declare to the people of the city."

"Yes."

Because of Feng Shui, no one does not pay attention to ancestral graves.

When the people of Taiyuan City heard that it was He Jinzhao who had dug the ancestral grave of King Jin's lineage, which caused a feng shui conflict, King Jin was pissed to death, not scared to death.

Whether it is the county king or the common people in Taiyuan City, their hatred of He Jinzhao has increased a lot.

Fear is there, but more of it is anger!
Within a day, He Jinzhao's reputation changed back and forth in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Zuo Buzheng Wang Xiangkun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the tombs of several generations of Jin kings in Yuci, it is not important whether they were destroyed and looted by hammer bandits.

The important thing is that the people in Taiyuan City believe it all at this time, which is the best.

The officials of Taiyuan City all bowed to Wang Xiangkun to express their admiration, so that the army of Taiyuan City can use it.

The people are ignorant, they will just let it go, instilling information into them at the right time, they will naturally believe it.

Wang Xiangkun has been an official for many years, and he has a way of governing the people.

"If that hammer bandit comes to attack the city, our soldiers will definitely not run away again."

Wang Xiangkun gathered many people with only one grave.

He Jinzhao obviously didn't know that there would be such a drastic change in the discussion about him in Taiyuan City.

After He Jinzhao inspected Taiyuan and returned, he saw many heads hanging on the gate, and nodded slightly.

Military discipline cannot be messed up no matter what. If the foundation is not laid well at the beginning, if you want to correct it later, it will inevitably lead to a bunch of arrogant soldiers.

It's better to strangle them all at the beginning stage of the source.

As soon as this move was made, many new soldiers were scared. The captain really dared to kill people!

At the same time, many soldiers were kicked into the trapped camp, and the same number were promoted from the trapped camp to fill the team.

This move makes people in the camp feel that their good days are coming soon, and no one wants to stay in the camp forever.

After all, the treatment is not as good as those regular soldiers, and the danger is extremely high.

The people in the regular army also felt a sense of crisis, and kept talking about the nine military disciplines.

After Yuci was reorganized, He Jinzhao took the time to train new soldiers.

At least he lived up to his title as head coach.

Then the army advanced five miles, set up camp, and made a posture to attack Taiyuan.

The poorly trained thousand-man team sent people to dig trenches every day to make a persistent attack.

He Jinzhao's actions really frightened the people in Taiyuan City.

Wang Xiangkun is also a little worried, why do you have to fight Taiyuan?
"This He Jinzhao is really not easy."

Food prices in Taiyuan City immediately rose.

The grain store has one price today and one price tomorrow, and the supply is limited.

Wang Xiangkun naturally went to find the grain merchants in the city and asked them to sell grain at a reasonable price.

But the grain merchants all tried their best to shirk, saying that they didn't have much grain in their stores.

Once He Jinzhao besieged for three to five months, they might starve to death.

Wang Xiangkun stroked his beard and said nothing, he knew the tricks of these grain merchants, and he often took advantage of the disaster to make a fortune.

As for the stored grain, there was only a lot, especially when they heard that the hammer bandits were coming to attack Taiyuan, they had already made preparations.

When the grain merchants had finished pouring out the bitter water, Wang Xiangkun just said indifferently: "I heard that He Jinzhao only robbed rich households and killed Shanxi merchants who oppressed the common people. I don't know if this is true?"

Many grain merchants did not understand why Mr. Wang would say this suddenly.

This is true.

Businessmen are sometimes more informed than officials.

He Jinchao's slogan of "beating the local tyrants" attracted the poor Jin people in Shanxi to fight first and join his team.

Moreover, when dealing with the poor, He Jinzhao would not plunder, and I heard that they hammered bandits and returned money for meals.

As long as the merchants pay the protection fee for the crossing, the goods they transport will not be robbed, and they will be protected by hammer bandits along the way.

Many businessmen choose to go to Taiyuan from Putong Pass, and then enter Datong by detour.

The businessmen trapped in Taiyuan were very envious. They could only watch others make money. If they couldn't make money, they felt that they were losing money.

Of course, this was just He Jinzhao's treatment of passing merchants, but he was not so friendly to the merchants under his control.

Proper long-distance and short-range attack behavior.

Immediately afterwards, the grain merchants heard Wang Xiangkun say:
"Once there is a panic of food shortage in the city, causing cannibalism, this official can only open the city gate for the sake of the people in the city."

After Wang Xiangkun finished speaking, he walked slowly.

A group of grain merchants were left looking at each other.

"Master Wang is not threatening us, he will surrender?"

"not sure."

Another grain merchant said: "Your Majesty Wang is more concerned about the common people, otherwise he would not have responded to everyone in Taiyuan. If he really opens the door and steals, we will be miserable."

"So many members of his royal family are officials in the court, will he surrender?"

"This kind of person puts his reputation more important than his life. If he is not sure, he will commit suicide. Let us bury him with him."

The grain merchants were lost in thought, everyone died together.

It's better to live well first, and cooperate with Wang Xiangkun to lower the price of grain, so that the people can buy grain, so that Taiyuan City will not get into chaos first.

"That's all." A grain merchant stood up and said, "If we don't agree, maybe we won't have to wait for Wang Xiangkun to do it, and they will encourage the people to come and rob us directly.

This person's method is not something you or I can handle. Raise the price of food by [-]% and sell it in unlimited quantities. Let's think of it as doing some good deeds for the elders in the hometown. "

Hearing that the leader of the guild said so, everyone agreed.

It's a pity that you can only earn [-]%.

Shanxi Zuo Buzheng Wang Xiangkun coaxed and threatened him to resolve the crisis brought to him by the hammer bandit He Jinzhao.

As for He Jinzhao outside the city, he was completely ignorant of these things.

Wang Xiangkun can be said to be searching for enemies in the void!
