Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 699 It's not that I don't want to hit him (second more)

Zhang Fuzhen nodded again and again, as far as the mayors under He Jinchao's command were concerned, except for Sun Chuanting, a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, the rest had no chance to be magistrates at all.

Especially for those low-level officials, almost all the channels for promotion are blocked. Since there is no hope of promotion, they can only choose to make a fortune.

But now that He Jinzhao has given his retired subordinates and those who have no promotion channels at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, a channel for promotion, who can bear it?

"I am originally from the back mountain, and I am a former guest occasionally."

Zhang Fuzhen's eyes lit up, and he waited expectantly for his next words.

He Jinzhao tilted his head, but couldn't remember what happened next.

When he arrived at the next village, he wrote a letter and asked someone to give it to Yang Yuxiu, asking him to prepare for the mayor's further study and promotion to the county magistrate.

With Hong Chengchou facing Shanxi's bandits for the first time to encircle and suppress the battle, it has fallen into a stagnation.

Yang Jiamo, the general soldier of Gansu, was stopped by the hammer bandits at Mengmen Pass and could not move forward, waiting for Hong Chengchou's shield support.

Lintao general Cao Wenzhao was stopped in Xiangfen by intruders, waiting for artillery support from Hong Chengchou.

On the surface, there were 3 officers and soldiers entering Jin Dynasty, but in fact there were no more than 5000 soldiers who were good at fighting.

Most of the soldiers of the Ming army were buzzing and cheering behind them, which was useless.

Chongzhen expected Hong Chengchou to expand the achievements of Shaanxi to Shanxi. As a result, all the ministries were hesitant when they encountered the two rebels who went south and north.

Lao Huihui and others crossed the Taihang Mountains and entered the Jifu area, where they appeared in Shunde and Zhending prefectures.

It immediately made Chongzhen and his courtiers feel uneasy.

The last time the thieves and others traveled thousands of miles to the capital, killed many officials on Tianjie, bombarded the ancestral temple, and even broke into the palace to kill the emperor.

If it happened again, then Da Ming's majesty would be trampled underfoot again.

In order to protect the safety of the capital, the courtiers actively cooperated with Chongzhen this time, and immediately dispatched two thousand soldiers from Tongzhou and two thousand soldiers from Changping.

Together with the 8000 troops of Baoding General Army, they cooperated with Shanxi governor Xu Dingchen and the famous soldier Lu Xiangsheng to kill these bandits.

Lu Xiangsheng had no way to deal with the more slippery rebels this time because he suffered from too few soldiers and horses.

Lao Huihui and others always avoided his heavy troops and attacked with cameras, causing the officers and soldiers to be beaten passively.

Then the internal conflicts in the court intensified. The courtiers accused Lu Xiangsheng of allowing the bandits to wander around in Beizhili wantonly. Did they want to let them into the capital?
It's a matter of wealth and life, and it's not up to the officials of the capital to be in a hurry.

Whoever worked hard in the capital, was then broken into the capital by a group of thieves, who came out of the sky street and trampled on his bones.

In the more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, except for Hong Wu who wanted to kill officials, there has never been such a danger!
Now that the imperial court has finally sent reinforcements, Lu Xiangsheng is not afraid that the imperial court will blame him.

I was afraid that there would be no reinforcements, and the thieves would once again sneak into the capital to make trouble by playing the role of a former wolf dozing off.

Once it was not my responsibility, no one saw through so many soldiers and horses around the capital.

Once again, Lu Xiangsheng didn't know if His Majesty still trusted him.

After the old Hui Hui had "advanced studies" in He Jinzhao, the chief coach of the 80 uprising army in Shaanxi, he found that there were more and more officers and troops encircling and suppressing them, so he decisively moved to Henan.

Although there are victories and losses for each other, there is no danger to defend on the North China Plain, and there is nothing to ambush.

Therefore, as soon as the imperial court increases its troops and strengthens the guarding forces in this area, running is the most correct way.

Now the gentry in Henan have suffered again!

Zuo Liangyu, Deng Qi, Wang Pu, Zhang Yingchang and other general soldiers surrounded Zijinliang's team to prevent them from causing chaos in various places in Henan.

Then Lao Huihui and others came, and the Beijing camp led by Wang Pu ran away at once, making way for Lao Huihui and others. There was a huge hole in the encirclement, so that they met smoothly.

Henan governor Fan Shangxie was so angry that he was about to explode!

All the soldiers in the Zijing camp are masters.

I don't dare to do business, and I don't need to inform you about things that drag my feet.

At that time, the gang of thieves will gather more and more, and the defense line of the officers and soldiers will become bigger and bigger. It can be said that it is weak everywhere. Is the encirclement still useful?

In addition, Li Zicheng, a general who was fleeing in Henan, gave him a headache. Chuang Tatetian, who ran from Shanxi a few days ago, also went to find Zijinliang.

Fan Shangxiu, Governor of Henan, was so angry that he cursed, even Zuo Liangyu was so angry.

He has always been the one who cheated others, but he was repeatedly cheated by the Beijing camp masters.

He understood the reason why the Guan Ning army entered the capital to aid in the battle, and the gang of masters of the Beijing camp were behind the scenes.

I dare not fight the enemy, but I am very courageous to fight my own people.

Without him, who would let the eunuch on our heads be favored by the emperor!

Henan governor Fan Shangxie himself united with Henan squires and wrote a letter to the emperor again.

The agent of the Ministry of War of the imperial court suggested to Chongzhen that Hong Chengchou move to Tongguan at the junction of the three provinces to supervise the governors of Shanxi and Henan and many general soldiers.

Chongzhen attributed the activity of the rebels in the three provinces to the ineffectiveness of the government and army, and then wrote to ask Hong Chengchou when he would be able to wipe out the rebels in Shanxi.

After Hong Chengchou received the letter from the emperor, he took a closer look and knew the plan of the governor of Henan.

They have never dared to fight the bandits who were retreating in Henan, but instead let themselves lead the army over.

Little did they know that the bandits in Henan were nothing more than superficial diseases, but the hammer bandits in Shanxi were a disease of Ming's heart.

As long as Fan Shangxie is determined to encircle and suppress the rogues, he will surely win, and Shaanxi is a clear proof.

He still needs to invest more money, food and weapons to deal with He Jinzhao.

It's not that he doesn't want to fight now, it's that he really doesn't have the strength to fight against the hammer bandits, otherwise, if he fails, the officers and soldiers will flee if they encounter the hammer bandits in the future.

I would rather the war drag on a little longer, and don't easily overwhelm the army.

Hong Chengchou immediately began to write a letter to the emperor, explaining that the son of King Qin donated 5000 taels of silver and [-] shi of grain to help the army.

However, the gap is too large, and the support of the court is still needed. Then he explained the difficulties of eliminating the hammer bandits in Shanxi, and it is definitely not as fast as in Shaanxi.

Hong Chengchou also wanted to wipe out He Jinzhao, but when he put down the thieves in Shaanxi, He Jinzhao didn't live like other rebels comfortably every day.

On the contrary, he continued to grow himself. The governor of Shanxi Xu Dingchen was a waste, so that the hammer bandit became bigger, and he dared to praise his military exploits to His Majesty and conceal the truth.

Hong Chengchou was also very helpless for the lack of cooperation of these teammates. He could not wipe out the thieves by himself.

He even wanted to use the salt from Huamachi to lure the Mongols outside the Great Wall to attack He Jinzhao's Great Wall line in Shanxi, so that the hammer bandits would not care about the north and the south, thus creating more opportunities for himself.

But the salt in Ningxia is not something that I can easily reach into.

Fortunately, the government and army recovered the southern part of Shanxi and held Jiezhou Yanchi in their hands, but businessmen were needed to realize the cash.

But the war broke out, and the trade route was cut off.

Hong Chengchou intends to ask the Chen family to sell salt for him, but he thinks that Ningyanghou can make the idea of ​​selling both the government and the hammer bandits to make the war protracted.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou has been hesitating, and it is more realistic to ask the emperor for money first.
