Be the emperor from the postman

After He Jinzhao finished dealing with matters related to the west side, he received news from the east side from Sun Chuanting.

Zhang Xianzhong broke through Xiangyang City, killed a large number of people, and took out Yang Sichang's old background.

Now Yang Sichang couldn't gather the morale of the army.

"Yang Sichang is going to die." He Jinzhao put down the letter in his hand:
"I thought I let Yang He off for the sake of his face, but Zhang Xianzhong didn't follow my instructions, he didn't go to Shanxi, but instead attacked Xiangyang.

To say that Xiangyang's defenders are also useless, Yang Sichang handed over his base camp to him, and he was also very ambitious.

It turned out that Zhang Xianzhong messed up with less than 30 people, and lost everything. "

Zhang Fuzhen, Ji Gui and others carefully read the news that Sun Chuanting sent back.

Several people walked to the next room, where there was a topographic map of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty.

Although it is not very precise, there are all the mountains, rivers and rivers that should be there.

The subordinate officials put the banner of Zhang Xianzhong, which was originally placed in Jiangxi and Fujian Provinces, in Xiangyang City, Huguang.

"My lord, it looks like Zhang Xianzhong didn't want to follow our wishes." Ji Gui pinched his beard and said:
"If Zhang Xianzhong relied on Xiangyang to fight against the Ming army, instead of entering Jiangxi and threatening Fujian, it would be detrimental to our cooperation with Zheng Zhilong. At least we didn't hit him."

The formation of sea power cannot be completed overnight, at least in terms of time and cost, it will take much more than forming an army.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiaowu and others went to Guangzhou to develop, and there was no need for He Jinzhao to lend a helping hand.

Anyway, the Southern Army is not their opponent, but the sea merchants are also very rich.

He Jinzhao looked at the terrain around Xiangyang: "If Zhang Xianzhong takes Xiangyang as the starting point to establish a political power.

Li Zicheng's establishment of political power in Luoyang is currently beneficial to us.

I have reached a temporary peace agreement with Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian can only follow my way of thinking and try his best to encircle and suppress the territory occupied by Zhang and Li's rogues. He may still have room to stand up. "

Zhang Fuzhen was also examining the huge sand table. It seemed that the chaos in the Central Plains continued, but he didn't know about Chongzhen, and he was reluctant to send Hong Chengchou to western Liaoning for support.

"Yang Sichang can't lose his temper." Zhang Fuzhen looked at Xiangyang and others and said:
"My lord, if he can beat Zhang Xianzhong violently in the Central Plains first, and then beat Li Zicheng violently, Chongzhen will rest assured that Hong Chengchou will fully support the war in western Liaoning, and there will be long bloodshed between the Ming and Qing Dynasties."

"Improbable!" Ji Gui shook his head, posing a fact:
"Before Yang Sichang was the supervisor, he was very ambitious, but after he became the real supervisor, he never even won a single battle.

The only victory of the Ming army at Guanyinyan was achieved by Zuo Liangyu's violation of Yang Sichang's military order.

Such a supervisor and apprentice make people laugh.

In addition, after Yang Sichang entered Chongqing and was besieged, he couldn't rest well day and night, and he frequently uttered faint words.

It is heard that he recruited Zuo Liangyu and Li Guoqi many times, but none of them went to Sichuan to rescue him, which led to the failure of our army's strategy of encircling the spot.

Yang Sichang had previously lost the morale of the generals, and now because of Zhang Xianzhong's conquest of Xiangyang, he had no pay and lost the morale of the soldiers.

Who else can he command?

Even if Meng Ruhu and others want to serve him, they still have to spend money to support their servants. Otherwise, who would work for Meng Ruhu?

Now the lord wants Yang Sichang to regroup and drive Zhang Xianzhong to Jiangxi, Fujian and other places. I'm afraid it will be a moon in the water, a flower in the mirror, absolutely impossible!

Maybe, Yang Sichang would rather die to report to the king, and he doesn't want to care about anything. "

Regarding Ji Gui's words, everyone was silent.

At first everyone thought that Yang Sichang was trying to turn the tide in the court, but he must have some means.

But once Yang Sichang left the Chongzhen mission, he would directly expose his physique.

With such a result, everyone really has no confidence in Yang Sichang,

He can turn the tide in this critical moment.

This person is confident and ambitious and wants to continue Daming's life, but in fact he doesn't have that much ability, he can't handle it.

Today, among the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty, He Jinchao occupies Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan and parts of Guangdong.

Li Zicheng rolled up a large number of people in Henan, looking like he was in full swing.

Zhang Xianzhong captured Xiangyang and wanted to continue to open up the situation within Huguang.

Huang Taiji stared at Ning Jin's line of defense, grinding his teeth and sucking blood.

I don't know when they will suddenly launch an attack to pull out this big nail in the west of Liaoning and go straight to Shanhaiguan.

As for what territory Chongzhen can still control, it has long been unimportant.

Ambitious people everywhere in the world are showing their cards on the poker table. They are always ready to divide the fat sheep of Chongzhen, strengthen their own strength, and finally fight for world hegemony.

What we have to do now is to make some people out of the game early, and we should make a layout that is beneficial to our own forces.

"My lord, since Yang Sichang can't count on him, he has to rely on us." Zhang Fuzhen held his beard and paused, "Let's fight instead."

He Jinzhao couldn't hold back his laughter, then shook his head and said:

"Chongzhen only gave me such a small amount of money every year, and it was used by Sun Chuanting to bribe the officials of the Ming Dynasty, so I still have to give him money and people to ease his troubles?
no!I can't do business at a loss. "

Several staff officers also laughed out loud, it was indeed wrong.

We just arranged some means in advance. If we really went out to eliminate the officers and soldiers, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, it would be nothing for the Hammer Bandits to send troops in an open and honest manner.

Not necessary now.

"It's better to let Wu Guojun, the Marquis of Jingliao, go to support Yang Sichang, because Liaodong is in a tight situation, and he will be involved, which will consume our strength for nothing."

Ji Gui smiled with his hands behind his back, Yang Sichang was holding Zuo Liangyu hostage.

I hope I can have a longer memory, and don't be tricked by Zuo Liangyu.

"Not a bad idea."

He Jinchao nodded again and again, and asked the officials on the side to immediately pass on a letter to Wu Guojun Feige, telling him to take advantage of the grief of Daming's loss of two princes one after another, to serve the country and reflect the role of Daming's loyal ministers.

At this time, when the upright court is in danger, if Wu Guojun can't come, who will?
After all, he also has the result of "capturing Gao Yingxiang", and he still has a way to deal with the peasant army.

"Yes." Zhang Fuzhen nodded again and again:

"Then it's better for me to serve as Wu Guojun's military adviser. I can properly control the field and let them bleed and fight each other, so that one side will not completely kill the other."

"No, no, I should go." Ji Gui shook his head quickly:
"My lord, I came up with this idea. How can I let someone else do it for me? It's not fair."

"Hahaha." He Jinzhao nodded again and again: "Since the military division has such thoughts, then you can go out for a stroll."

"Thank you, my lord."

After Ji Gui received the military order, he winked at Zhang Fuzhen quite proudly.

The last time Zhang Fuzhen went to Kham and other places alone to coordinate and divide the chieftains, and he performed well in handling disputes with Gushi Khan.

Yang Yuxiu and Qiu Zhitao are busy and stable in the rear, and it is true that a good fighter has no great achievements.

Compared with Ji Gui, who came up with the idea, and him who was the first to defect, he thought that he had fallen behind them in terms of meritorious service, so he naturally wanted to perform well.

Among the group of hammer bandits, who doesn't want to make progress?

They also want to fight for the position of the first civil servant in the new dynasty.

So in the face of Yang Sichang's performance, he was too useless to achieve He Jinzhao's goal, so he sent high-level tactical guidance to reverse the unfavorable situation.

After Yang He learned of He Jinzhao's plan, he quickly thanked him.

After all, he was worried about his son.

He Jinzhao asked Fu Zonglong again how he was doing?
Yang He said that this person was a bit cunning, and seized the opportunity to ask the people under his rule.

But the commander-in-chief had already explained that he didn't pay any attention to these smart people, which made him suffer from a lot of closed doors.

In other words, the people under the Hammer bandits didn't have a good opinion of the officials of the Ming Dynasty!
And Fu Zonglong also felt the people's indifference to him, so Yang He didn't know how tormented he was.

After all, the common people are willing to be thieves, and they are not willing to serve Daming. For scholars like them who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, it is obviously a great irony and a blow.

"By the way, Marshal, there is one more thing." Yang He pinched his all-white beard and said:

"I had a former subordinate named Zuo Guangxian, who was from Yulin, Shaanxi. Two of his brothers joined the hammer bandits, and one of them died in battle in Sichuan.

Because Hong Chengchou knew about this matter, he dismissed his post and was sent back to his hometown directly.

When he was following Hong Chengchou, he made the most contributions in encircling and suppressing the rebel army in Qin, and was regarded as a general. "

Because Hong Chengchou didn't repay Cao Wenzhao directly, Zuo Guangxian and others came to the front.

He Jinzhao sat on the chair: "You mean he found you and wanted to test me, asking if he could join the Hammer Bandits?"

"Master, that's what it means."

Yang He nodded again and again, because it was Zuo Guangxian's idea, and he was afraid that he would kill too many people in the early stage, so he asked the relationship.

Otherwise, there would be no place for him, and he would not choose to join Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others.

When these people were entrenched in Shaanxi, they were often hunted down by Zuo Guangxian and Cao Wenzhao.

He Jinzhao narrowed his eyes slightly, why didn't he listen to Zuo Guangxian's brother report this matter?

As a titan under Hong Chengchou, because his younger brother served for the Hammer Bandit, he was discarded directly, and then wanted to join the Hammer Bandit.

No matter how you think about this matter, it seems that Hong Chengchou has the intention of planting spies.

"People of your age have spoken, so I will take the time to meet him."

He Jinzhao took advantage of the situation and agreed, let's talk, and then throw him into the trap camp for training.

Tian Hu, who was stationed at the Great Wall, also came to report to He Jinzhao. According to the Mongol sentinels, the Zhungeer tribe was about to move, and seemed to want reinforcements.

"Marshal, do we want to intercept halfway?"

Regarding the rise of Zhungeer, He Jinzhao is willing to drive them to fight for territory in the direction of Tsarist Russia, and fight each other in the early stage.

Now they are focusing on Xinjiang, which really makes He Jinzhao a little unhappy. After all, he has been thinking about that territory for a long time, and he can clean up the situation when the domestic turmoil in Yaerqiang becomes more severe.

"Send someone to say hello and keep a close watch on them. If they really go to the west to support them, you will smash their nests."

He Jinzhao wasn't used to Zhungeer's fault, so if he dared to provoke him, he would beat him up.

Don't they all believe in the strong on the grassland?

Save yourself the hassle, play one game first and then talk about the rest.

"Yes."

Tian Hu responded again and again, he is very familiar with the matter of making nests, and with a large number of Mongolians who are familiar with the terrain as guides, it is difficult to think that this kind of battle will not succeed.

He Jinzhao patrolled around Shanxi for a while, and then went to Datong to see if the officers and soldiers had come to harass the place after Sun Chuanting was transferred away.

Of course, not to mention that Jiang Xiang was looking after the officials, but behind the scenes, a large number of officers and soldiers were developed into hammer bandits.

There are no officers and soldiers who dare to come and find it unhappy.

"Master."

Because of Wang Pu, Jiang Xiang has been demoted to deputy commander, and he keeps pouring bitter water on He Jinzhao.

If it wasn't for the Marshal's plan, he wouldn't be subjected to such birdishness.

"Isn't this Wang Pu only good at running away?"

He Jinchao admired Wang Pu, a general who was good at escaping, but also looked down upon him.

After all, to be safe and sound every time, not everyone has the ability to flock people to block the knife.

Even Zuo Liangyu, who is good at deceiving people, has to be called big brother in front of Wang Pu, but he is not qualified to be compared with Wang Pu.

"Marshal, Wang Pu has been defeated repeatedly, but he can always keep the main force in his hands without suffering major losses." Jiang Xiang still has some understanding of Wang Pu:

"Nowadays, every part of the imperial court is going to put down the rebellion, and those who have a little man in their hands will actively win over them. If all your soldiers and horses are lost, you can see if the emperor will chop your head off."

"You mean that Wang Pu is getting more and more attention from the court?"

"Master, this is obvious." Jiang Xiang patted himself and said:

"I was originally the commander-in-chief of Datong, but after Wang Pu was boasted by Lu Xiangsheng and had some strength in his hands, he replaced me as the commander-in-chief.

I don't know Wang Pu yet, but Lu Xiangsheng praised him without knowing it, and in the end, all Wang Pu's gains were killing good people and pretending to be meritorious.

In the end, Lu Xiangsheng knew the truth. Although he had won some victories, he didn't even have the face to report the number of beheadings. "

As for Lu Xiangsheng, a courtier of the Ming Dynasty who was busy but didn't know how to communicate with the leader, he was directly sent on the road by the leader himself.

He Jinchao believed that people like him had no place to survive in the late Ming Dynasty, that is, Wu Guojun, Wang Pu, Zuo Liangyu and his like could survive for a long time and eventually develop into warlords.

The rest of them are in Daming, so it's really not as good as they are.

"If he is valued by the Ming Emperor, it will be considered beneficial to us."

He Jinzhao shook his head and smiled. Based on Chongzhen's operation, he sent all the loyal ministers and good generals to die. Of course, those who remained were sneaky people who could spend a day in Daming's company and were always ready to change jobs.

"Marshal, I heard some rumors that Hong Chengchou may take Wang Pu to the Liaodong battlefield." Jiang Xiang said here, with a smile on his face:
"It seems that Hong Chengchou doesn't know Wang Pu's way of doing things, and he will suffer a lot if he appoints him!"

After all, Wang Pu had Lu Xiangsheng's praise as his foundation, and Hong Chengchou didn't know everyone under him very well, so he naturally had some trust in Wang Pu.

He Jinzhao also smiled and shook his head.

Maybe in a critical moment, Wang Pu will gather everyone in front of him again to pierce the knife, so that he can escape calmly with the people.

This kind of bullying teammates is even more ruthless than Yang Sichang's no-nonsense teammates!
