Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 221 Housekeeper

Zheng Shoubei also raised some servants under his command.

Almost all the officers and soldiers in Daming Border Town were abolished.

As a result, all generals like to support their families.

As for why the officers and soldiers in the border town were abolished?
Because a large number of soldiers were starved of food and clothing, money was embezzled by Shangguan.

Then, in order to keep their status, the Shangguan took a small part of the greedy money to support a small number of servants.

Zheng Shoubei's doorman saw a group of people riding horses and stopped, so he asked politely: "Where did you come from?"

"Taiyuan Mansion." He Jinchao dismounted from his horse and pushed open the door: "Lead the way ahead, the governor of Shanxi has important orders."

"Okay, my lord please, my lord please."

This group of people are wearing official armor, and they are from Taiyuan, so the sect dare not stop them.

If you don't have a few taels of silver before letting go, don't fucking want to see the guard.

He Jinchao didn't know that Song Yintong, the governor of Shanxi, had put down the pick, and these people didn't know either.

The sound of dense footsteps naturally aroused the vigilance of the people in the courtyard, and the servant's money was not for nothing.

Immediately someone took a knife and went out to see what was going on.

But he saw a group of officers and soldiers coming in, and turned back to greet his brothers, something might happen.

Whoever gives them money, they work for whom.

Even the orders of the Ming emperor are not easy to use.

The guards are all chosen brave men, and their treatment is ten times that of ordinary soldiers, and most of them are responsive to the guards, asking for money for money, asking for houses for houses, and women for women.

Zu Dale's servants plundered more ruthlessly than bandits, and the local government didn't dare to take care of them.

Wu Xiang would rather eat a little less than himself, but also to ensure that his family Ding Feng has enough food and clothing.

In this way, all the servants are unwilling to serve the master and die, and the fighting power is also strong.

Therefore, most generals despise ordinary soldiers, resulting in an embarrassing situation in which only servants are available in the army.

As long as these people die in battle, then he is finished.

This kind of serious subordination, even the emperor's order is not easy to make, Zu Dashou led the troops to run back to Shanhaiguan at night.

Even if the emperor's edict is not effective, if it weren't for Yuan Chonghuan's personal letter and Sun Chengzong's promise, he would not go back.

He Jinchao pushed away the two gatekeepers, flashed past with Li Shuchu's token, and a soldier stepped forward to control them with a knife.

The background music in the hall stopped immediately, and the dancing girls were in a mess.

Only He Zan held the wine glass with a smile on his face.

The captain finally came.

Zheng Shoubei watched with drunken eyes, a large number of people with swords and firecrackers poured in front of him, and the wine also woke up three points.

He Jinzhao glanced at He Zan, saw him nodding secretly, and understood.

"Where did brother come from?" Zheng Shoubei supported the table and stood up.

"It happened to you."

He Jinzhao waved his hand, and someone stepped forward to hold down Zheng Shoubei, directly pressed him on the table, took out a rope and tied him up.

"Ah, what happened to me?"

Zheng Shoubei panicked even more when he heard this.

"Noisy, give him two slaps to wake him up."

Zheng Shoubei's face was swollen when the two men forced him to go down, but he became more sober.

The people in the hall were quickly brought under control, whether they were singers or musicians, they were all placed aside.

After He Jinzhao gave an order, he heard a report from someone outside that a team of less than a hundred people was gathering.

"It's Zheng Shoubei's servant."

He Zan threw away the wine glass in his hand, stood up and explained:
"This group of people are not afraid of death, and they are skilled in bow and horse. The captain should be more careful."

Zheng Shoubei looked at the businessman beside him, and then looked at this too young leader. Is he from the imperial court?

"Do you know?"

Zheng Shoubei swallowed, and no longer entangled: "I admit that I am a member of Zongbing Zhang, but I, Zheng Xin, are dedicated to Daming, and have never done anything that violates the laws of Daming."

Zhang Honggong, the former general of Shanxi, was still in the prison in the capital. Zheng Xin also thought of this relationship, and the imperial court would send someone to arrest him.

What's more, when the Chief Soldier was here, the brothers had all been certified by the court for killing good men and taking meritorious deeds, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Unless the commander-in-chief recruits, it's okay if he doesn't recruit himself.

He Zan glanced at Zheng Shoubei: "I'm sorry, Lord Shoubei, we are not under the control of the court."

"If you don't belong to the imperial court, then your mother will."

Zheng Xin bit his tongue, quickly woke himself up, and then said in disbelief: "You guys are not hammer bandits, are you?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Hequ guard Zheng Xin shook his head: "Taiyuan is five or six hundred miles away from here, it is absolutely impossible to be a hammer bandit."

He Zan snorted and laughed: "Master Zheng, open your eyes and take a look. Standing in front of you is the head coach of the 80 uprising army in Shaanxi, Northwest Hammer King He Jinzhao."

Hequ defended Zheng Xin so frightened that if he hadn't been controlled by others, he could hardly control his body.

How did Hammer Bandit leader He Jinzhao save his small temple?
Could it be that he wants to control this place and return to Shaanxi?
"Forgive me, Lord He, the villain is willing to surrender."

Zheng Xin knew that the official way would not work, so he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for surrender.

People were originally murdering officials and rebelling, so if you catch your defense, why don't you chop it up and keep it?

He Jinzhao looked at the guard kneeling on the ground, and thought for a while:
"Tell your people to drop their weapons and surrender, or I'll kill them all in front of you."

He Zan further explained: "Your garrison, don't worry, my captain will not kill prisoners. The reputation of your Daming army is much better."

"Thank you, Master He, thank you, Master He!"

With He Jinzhao's guarantee, Zheng Xin did not dare to refuse.

He has long heard the news of hammer bandits rampant in Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Even Yang He, the governor of the three sides, spent money to buy peace and sent it out of the country as a gift.

As for the Mongols who are good at fighting, such as the participating general Hu Dawei and the guerrilla general Baihu, they are not opponents of the hammer bandits.

Although these servants under him are brave, even if there are a dozen or so people who are more elite than those people, he can't afford to lose.

The assembled servants are climbing the wall to watch, while several yards guard each other.

Not only do they live in the guard's house, but their family members also live in the guard's house.

There are still 30 people living in separate houses in Hequ County, and they did not gather here.

Naturally, some people climbed over the wall to contact everyone.

Now they heard Zheng Shoubei's shout, saying to put down their weapons and surrender. This group of people is the famous Hammer Bandit He Ye.

We brothers can live well even if we surrender, don't resist.

The servants are loyal to Zheng Shoubei, but they have family members by their side, so they think in their hearts that if they don't work hard, they don't work hard.

Hearing Zheng Shoubei's call now, the brothers are not resisting, they just say that the situation is unclear now, who knows if the rebels will go back on their word, we will wait until dawn.

When Zheng Shoubei heard this, it was obvious that this was the reason.

But with a bitter look on his face, he went back to complain to He Jinzhao, saying that those servants were all rebellious, why don't we just wait for dawn?
