Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 757 New Year's Illusions (Third Change)

That night, the Hammer bandits, the monarch and his ministers all returned satisfied, and everyone saw how the road ahead would go on.

Although the predecessors left countless valuable experiences of rebellion, they found that He Jinzhao's path was different from the predecessors in some ways, and they created their own path.

A real man, the opportunity to leave his name in history is just around the corner.

If there is no such opportunity, these people will not have the good luck to be written by the history book.

Only Sun Chuanting was depressed and fell into the battle between heaven and man.

But - who tmd care?
The winter in Daming is still very cold.

Beifeng Huhu, a small number of this group of people went home to visit relatives, preparing for the New Year, and most of the rest went back by drawing lots to continue to stick to their posts, and replaced their subordinates to go home for the New Year.

In particular, most of the people who were sent to southern Shanxi did not take up their posts locally.

Yang He, the headmaster of the prisoner-of-war camp, entertained Yang Wenyue, the only student at present, and also ate boiled mutton and drank small wine in the room.

"Oh, such a comfortable life is simply beautiful."

Yang He put down the wine glass in his hand, and stuffed a piece of mutton into his mouth.

Yang Wenyue really had no way to hate Yang He. Before, he thought that Yang He was the mastermind behind He Jinchao, and he came to support the bandits to respect himself, and then the tiger devoured the master, but that was not the case.

As for why Yang He advocated appeasement, he also knew the reason. The frontier army had been in arrears for three years, and there was a mutiny in Guyuan.

Those who joined the thieves were many frontier soldiers who could not survive. Although a large number of young and strong were engulfed, the core combat effectiveness was not weak.

In addition, the Jurchen Tartars broke Jizhen and ravaged the capital, and the emperor ordered the world to work hard for the king.

There are no elite soldiers on the three sides of Shaanxi to deal with the bandits, and many soldiers mutinied, once again strengthening the ranks of rebels.

Even if it was Yang He's extermination, he was powerless, so he could only focus on appeasement, supplemented by extermination.

If he hadn't had any soldiers in his hand, he wouldn't have pushed Hong Chengchou indiscriminately to counter the rebellion, and ended up catching a big fish.

It's a pity that this big fish stabbed the old boss Yang He in the back.

"Old Yang, are you really not worried about your son's situation?"

During the days when Yang Wenyue was captured, under the guidance of Yang He, he actively worked hard, which can be regarded as exchanging labor for daily necessities.

"What is there to worry about?" Yang He is now less and less concerned about his situation:
"Didn't you say that he is now the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the governor of Shan (customs), Yong (Pingfu) and other local admirals in charge of military affairs?"

"Yes, your son has a bright future, but you stay in the den of thieves with peace of mind."

"He is him, I am me." Yang He pointed at himself with chopsticks and said:
"I have been considered by the emperor to be behind the scenes of the Hammer Bandit, so if I go back, will my son's situation be better?

What's more, the imperial court declared that I was dead, so the old man was still afraid of it. My children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If I go back, my son will definitely be implicated. "

The fact that Yang He was intercepted by the hammer bandits was only known to the Emperor Daming and some high-level officials. For the sake of the Ming court's face, they naturally publicized that Yang He was intercepted and killed by the hammer bandits on the road.

Yang Sichang didn't know the truth either, so he wanted to avenge his father and suppress the bandits.

Yang Wenyue couldn't support himself alone, so he definitely couldn't escape from Taiyuan City.

"Old Yang, you really don't want to go back to Daming?"

Yang He took another sip of the warm wine and said, "I'm happy here, I don't think about Sichuan!"

Hearing this, Yang Wenyue felt that he had no desire to eat meat anymore.

He felt that Yang He was a prudent person, and he had been in the Hammer bandit camp for a long time. He Jinzhao ordered him to take care of the prisoner-of-war camp, and he had always been an idler.

Because there were not many people in this prisoner-of-war camp, could it be possible that the rest of the captured Daming army surrendered to He Jinchao?
Yang Wenyue felt that it would be a great advantage for Yang He to organize everyone to escape, but he didn't want to leave at all.

He really wanted to complain, why did His Majesty surrender first when we were about to fight to the death?

New Year's Day.

He Jinzhao sat around a table with his family, his own two daughter-in-laws, one child, his brother-in-law's family, and his brother-in-law Gao Yigong's family.

Everyone sat around a table to eat lively.

Looking at He Jinzhao's current appearance, the elder sister secretly thought that if she had really married into the rich man's house, it probably wouldn't have happened.

With the Shaanxi bandits together, maybe they will all be gone.

After all, I heard from the old family members who had escaped that there were thieves who robbed the salary of the Ganquan County government, and the life of the villagers was not easy.

That rich man had already ruined his family, and he didn't know where he died!
My sister looked at her swollen belly again, and her face became more joyful.

Once people settle down, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking. The night is long and there is not much entertainment.

Naturally, husbands and wives need to do more things they love, and the population growth will also increase.

"Brother-in-law." He Jinzhao said with a smile between his fingers:
"I sent people to Shandong to pick up Zhang Fuzhen's family early on, and asked them to collect some cannon-making craftsmen from Dengzhou. Similarly, when I sent people to the south to pick up Wu Youxing, I also sent people to search for the cannon-making craftsmen."

The brother-in-law put down the wine glass in his hand: "Now, do you still want to change the gun?"

"That's right, the Great General's cannon is good, but it's not advanced enough.

The model set during the Jiajing period has not been improved for more than 100 years, and it is not the most advanced artillery. "

The brother-in-law nodded slightly, he understood what He Jinzhao meant, and wanted to forge more good cannons before he could fight in all directions.

"Wang Peng, the deputy general of Ji Town, wrote to me earlier, saying that Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the former cabinet, was killed by the emperor because of his beloved disciple Sun Yuanhua.

There is a Xiyi man next to him, named Tang Ruowang, I told him to take this opportunity to tie him up, and he will arrive in Taiyuan after many years. "

"Western people?" Gao Yigong continued:
"Brother-in-law, he is not from my clan, so his heart must be different. I heard that the Western soldiers held their bows and arrows to show off their might in the capital of the Ming Dynasty."

"Gunpowder and artillery were created by China in the past, and they have always been ahead, and now they are in this regard.

In the past hundred years, it was indeed a little behind, and they were caught up by their disciples. "

He Jinzhao put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law naturally does not lack good craftsmen, but his vision will inevitably be limited.

I only have some skills in teaching how to operate cannons, but I don't know much about casting cannons.

I heard that Zheng Zhilong has many ship guns on the sea, and I don't know if this pirate who was appeased by the court ran rampant in Southeast Asia and became the overlord of one party? "

He Jinzhao said to himself: "Don't think that everything will be fine if Ming is destroyed.

Naturally, we must set our sights on the sea. How can the wealth there be compared to how many fields everyone annexed? "

In order to avoid land annexation in the future, He Jinzhao also planned the ocean in his mind.

It's been a hundred years since Columbus died.

"As for you saying that you are not of my race, you must have a different heart, which is not bad." He Jinzhao laughed twice:

"I'm looking forward to the fact that the government will become a pirate."

"Husband, you must be drunk again." Gao Guiying glanced at him: "Last year, it was just considered to occupy the whole of Shanxi, so I'm thinking about extinction."

"For those who celebrate the New Year, you have to say something about your New Year's wishes." He Jinzhao added a stutter to his son: "We can't become fat in one breath."
