Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 196

The captain of Putongguan was a little hesitant when he heard that General Guanxia persuaded him to surrender.

"Where is Mr. Shi Qian?"

"He has a broken leg and has been captured by our rebel army."

Chief Meng Ping replied in a loud voice: "If you wait longer to hesitate, then our former brothers will meet each other with swords."

It seems that none of the brothers on Guanziling ran away except for the dead. They were taken over by the hammer bandits, and they even surrendered!

Hearing this, Lu Qi looked at the other captain beside him: "How about it, give me an idea?"

"You two military masters, you can't surrender."

The head of the governor's office at the side wiped the hot sweat from his face: "If the court blames us, we can't afford it."

"Damn it, by the time the court blames us, we'll be dead."

Another captain cursed, "Open the door, surrender."

"Let's fight the Hammer Bandits?"

"Hit a hammer, are you willing to put your life here?"

Putong Pass fell into He Jinzhao's hands so neatly.

"Captain, we can go straight to Taiyuan in one go."

Zhao Si, the lamp lighter, smiled. There are too many rich people in Taiyuan.

After eating Taiyuan, Zhao Si, who lights up his lamp, can transform himself into a well-known local rich man.

"Is it that simple?" He Jinzhao asked back.

Fifty miles further north, you can occupy Pingyao.

There are not many large-scale officers and troops in the hinterland of Shanxi. If all goes well, they can abandon Jiexiu's Hu Dawei and others and go straight to Taiyuan from Pingyao.

In the past, there were officers and soldiers stationed there, but now there are none.

Because there are 7000 officers and soldiers in the guards of Pingyangfu, Luzhou, and Fenzhou in Shanxi, they are temporarily stationed in Datong due to civil engineering changes, so it is a rule.

Therefore, most of the city guards in the prefectures and counties are militias, including the three types of militiamen, patrolling archers, and warriors.

During the Jiajing period, a large number of people were expanded. Dazhou County increased to 900 people, followed by 700 people, and then 500 people, with a minimum of [-] people.

Because workers and food come from Lijia, the militia has many names, and it is difficult to implement it on a scale.

But in Shanxi, an inspection department is set up almost every thirty miles, mainly to prevent salt smuggling and mine theft.

Because Daming is a salt and iron monopoly in disguise, according to the requirements of the Daming law, both selling and buying illegal salt will be punished.

The city defenders in the counties and prefectures are almost all members of the inspection department or conscripted civilians, or Baojia and township soldiers. These people's combat effectiveness is not high.

The guards and civilians did not meet the needs of national defense and public security, so most of the township soldiers were commanded by local tyrants, and the imperial court did not distribute money or food.

That's why Zhao Si, the lamplighter, felt that it was unimpeded from Pingyao to Taiyuan.

"Captain, many merchant convoys have been found within three miles of the pass, and our brothers have matched up with him."

After hearing Gao Yigong's report, He Jinzhao decided to go and have a look with those businessmen.

Several Shanxi merchant leaders were surrounded by a gang of hammer bandits, their faces were panicked, and even the bodyguards they hired couldn't give them a sense of security.

"Don't panic, shopkeeper, even if He Jinzhao, the leader of the Hammer Bandit, comes in person, I will be one-on-one with him, and I will not be afraid."

"Who wants to have a one-on-one with me?" He Jinzhao took out the pistol on his horse and pointed at him: "Is it you?"

The leader of the bodyguard immediately fell silent, and knelt on the ground quite sincerely: "My lord, villains usually like to brag."

These hammer bandits on horseback were well-equipped, all of them wore cotton armor, and each had two horses.

None of the court officials and soldiers he encountered was so wealthy.

Who can beat them?
"Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king." The shopkeeper hurried out to smooth things over:
"I wait for the countrymen, don't blame me, this is 1000 taels of silver, I hope the king can hold your hands high."

He Jinzhao put away his pistol and nodded: "You Shanxi merchants will give me 1000 taels to buy the road. Believe it or not, I will kill you?"

"King He, the villain didn't sell these goods, and he doesn't have that much money on hand.

As long as I sell what I have, I will have money!
At that time, I will definitely make up for King He. "

The shopkeeper's face is very ugly, whether it is an official or a bandit, he likes to rob them.

But the situation is stronger than people, as long as you save your life, you can always make money back.

"What is the shipment?"

"Cloth and some iron pots."

He Jinzhao jumped off his horse, and sent people to open the things on the car, and randomly checked one or two.

This iron pot was not like the iron pot that He Jinzhao knew, but it was like that kind of bucket, almost the same width from top to bottom.

"Shipping to Datong Mutual Market?"

"Return to congratulate the king, yes."

He Jinzhao knocked on the iron pot, feeling that the quality was not very good.

I can't blame the Mongols for always repairing iron pots.

"Business is doing well."

"Thanks to the court's blessing."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, he felt that he had made a mistake, and his face was quite panicked.

"Okay, I'm not a person who kills without blinking an eye." He Jinzhao patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder:

"You sponsor me 1000 taels of silver, it looks like you are so sincere.

I will send you a flag to keep your goods, and you will not suffer. "

"Thank you King He, thank you King He."

The shopkeeper was overjoyed. He thought that he had lost both his fortune and wealth, but he didn't expect to keep everything.

He Jinchao sent someone to give him a flag:
"It's wrong for you to stay here for a few days, so as not to leak the news of the fall of Putong Pass. My people will not embarrass you when they see this flag."

"Thank you King He."

The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the hammer bandits wanted to attack Taiyuan?
and many more!

Are they going to fight Taiyuan?
The shopkeeper looked at the Hammer bandit cavalry walking further and further away, and was stunned for a moment.

"Shopkeeper, shall we just stay here?"

"If you don't want to die, stay here, and when the hammer bandits leave, we have to bypass Taiyuan."

At this moment, Hu Dawei is still in Jiexiu County in order to stabilize people's hearts.

The king who was swept away by the second generation kept talking about the poor quality of the silver.

I have never seen such a large silver ingot before, why don't you look carefully?

Hu Dawei looked at his subordinates waiting to be treated, and thought that there were still many wounded soldiers who had not been redeemed, so he could only hold back his unhappiness.

Otherwise, they would have to snatch it by force. Thinking about when he had spent money to buy things before he surrendered to Daming, he didn't gather people nearby.

Cross the Great Wall to loot like a real man, with the spirit of a side hustle.

After he surrendered to Daming, he didn't spend any money on the street to buy things. He took two of your biscuits to eat, so he thought highly of you.

Dare to be hypocritical with the military master?

I will lend your head to use, and I will give you a mature Mongolian hairstyle, and finally send your head to Beijing to receive the reward.

Hu Dawei suppressed his inner anger. In order to calm his heart, he could only suffer the humiliation of being blackmailed by the hammer bandits.

"Don't be so angry, we thieves are worthless, we are not worth as much as you are officials."

The Second Generation Sweeping King squeezed the money in his hand: "As long as we succeed in this transaction, we will not forget your benefits.

Isn't there still a group of prisoners to be redeemed? You can report more people to the rich merchants in the city. In short, Han Xinling fought and Shitongqiao fought.

How many people have we captured, can they know you? "

　Now my [-] manuscripts are really gone.
