Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 257 Opportunity is in sight (Part [-])
"Tell me first." He Jinzhao didn't rush to refuse.

"It's useless for King He to just win the Piantou Pass. The Great Wall here will be broken when it goes east to Lao Niu Bay."

"Call my lord the governor." The dog-headed military division reminded him.

We are a regular rebel army, what kind of king is not a king, listen to the grass-roots team.

Defensive Tian Hu thought for a long time but couldn't figure out that Daming had such an official position?
He took a deep breath:

"What the governor wants is the two trading sites of Shuiquan Yingbao and Hongmen Fort, so taking down the old Yingbao is the most important thing."

Everyone knew that He Jinzhao was thinking about those two places where he traded with the Mongols.

There is a natural flood and drought wharf in Hequ, and the trade between Shanxi, Shaanxi and Mongolia largely depends on this water channel.

The only disadvantage is that it will freeze in winter, and the Mongols will step on the ice and land in Hequ County to plunder.

But because of the turmoil in Mongolia, the mutual market in Hequ Yingcheng was directly canceled for several years.

Small cities such as Poluying, Guangwuying, and Laoyingbao were also cancelled.

He Jinzhao couldn't make any business profits by relying on this waterway, so he could only choose to control the two big cities of Shuiquanyingbao and Hongmenbao.

The market is divided into a big market and a small market. The big market is held once a year, and the participants are mainly tribal chiefs and nobles.

The small market is held once a month, and it is usually set up beside the pier fortress along the border, or the market is designated for trading in the border area, and the participants are general tribal members.

These are all prepared for the tribe of King Shunyi. Now that King Shunyi has been driven to Qinghai, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the closure of the mutual market.

"But I remember that Pianguan can go directly to the Great Wall on the other side of Laoniu Bay." He Jinzhao looked at the map.

Although Laoniuwan is broken because of the Grand Canyon, you can go up directly from the inner side of the Great Wall.

"Yes." Guard Tian Hu withdrew his tentative thoughts, and said in a straightforward manner:
"In order to let the town governor know that the old camp has guarded thousands of households, and Tian Zhaoyuan, the deputy commander, commanded more than [-] troops.

1000 people were taken away by the general army of Shanxi, and five hundred households were transferred by the governor of Shanxi to guard Taiyuan.

Now there are only half of the people left, and half of the people are on empty pay. "

He Jinzhao looked at He Zan who was on the side, and saw him nodding his head: "So, there are only about [-] people left in the old camp?"

"That's right, but out of the eight hundred people, five hundred family members are elite soldiers, and most of the rest of the soldiers have low combat effectiveness, and they are all serving the family members."

Tian Zhao, the deputy commander-in-chief stationed in Laoyingbao, relied on two large and one small ones and three mutual markets to eat a lot and support [-] servants, which was more than the original Shanxi general soldier.

Tian Jia was originally a local snake in Shanxi Town, a frontier general for generations.

As for the officers in Datong Town, they are the Ma family and the Jiang family.

Dong Li Xi Ma was a good story for a while, and now Li Ma's main family is lonely, but the side branches are taking advantage of the trend to rise.

The Jiang family didn't give in too much.

"Five hundred servants."

He Jinzhao sat down again: "You are very rich, what is your relationship with this Tian Zhao?"

"According to family seniority, he is my cousin." Tian Hu paused and said:
"But our relationship is not good, if the appeasement envoy doesn't believe it.

You can inquire as you like, their masters don't like our side members. "

"Tell me what you think."

Hearing He Jinzhao's inquiry, Tian Hu was secretly relieved:
"Zhen Fu Shi, this old camp castle is the second largest castle after Pianguan County.

The castle is built of bricks and built on the hillside. There are three gates, which are surrounded by the surrounding mountains into a "concave" shape.

On the top of the mountain in the north of the city is the Great Wall, and outside the Great Wall is Qingshuihe County in Mongolia.

Surrounded by mountains, Laoyingbao is flat in the middle, close to the Great Wall on its east and north sides, and the Guan River goes around the city to the south and west.

The hillside of Laoyingbao is gentle, with Pinglu in the north, Pianguan in the west, and all the mouths in the Yangfang, which are regarded as eyes and ears, and Ningwu in the east, which is the most important point, and it extends in all directions. "

Tian Hu paused and said: "Even if the governor uses these words from the city of Pianguan to lure the servants of the old camp to surrender, it is not realistic at all."

"So what do you mean?"

"It's better to let my people go to the city as an internal response, open the gate of the fort, and welcome the army in."

Tian Hu continued to explain: "Twenty miles away from Laoyingbao, on the haystack hill of Wanjiazhai, there is a mountain fort, the fort is not big, and there is only one general banner stationed there.

However, the fortress is extremely isolated and the valleys are intertwined. It is necessary to guard against Wei Yimi and directly monitor the direction of the pass for thirty miles. It is the first to spread the beacon along the border.

If there is any disturbance, Tian Zhao will definitely get the news in advance. "

By saying so much, Tian Hu is telling He Jinzhao that using my people as a disguise can save you a lot of trouble.

This is the border of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers all have a fighting spirit. The defense methods used against the Mongols can also be used on the heads of your hammer bandits.

He Jinzhao was also thinking about it. There were many forts around the Great Wall. He had recruited many forts from Hequ to Pianguan.

Thanks to the closure of the mutual market and the arrears of payment from the imperial court, the lives of these soldiers of the Ming army were very hard.

Therefore, they were all willing to accept He Jinzhao's offer to surrender, since they could have enough to eat after all.

"I'll just trust you for now." He Jinzhao stood up, and personally untied Tian Hu who was kneeling on the ground: "In that case, I'll take someone to follow you into the pass."

"Thank you, the pacifier."

Tian Hu thanked him very excitedly, and at the same time secretly felt that He Jinzhao was really not an ordinary person.

When you come up, you dare to enter the head-to-head with yourself.

He was not afraid that he had earned his life.

Then Tian Hu's clothes were sent back, but the armor and weapons were still not given to him.

The soldiers who closed their heads looked eagerly outside the pass.

At that time, the wolf-like hammer bandits directly pushed the garrison to the ground, leaving only the bottom of his trousers, and dragged him across the river. They all saw it.

While the soldiers were waiting anxiously, they saw a group of hammer bandits crossing the river directly by boat.

The scale of a hundred people is guarding a man in full armor, followed by a guard who has never worn armor.

"I am He Jinzhao, and I accept your surrender."

After the words were passed on, the defenders on the city burst into cheers immediately.

"Open the gate of Wengcheng to Lao Tzu."

He Jinzhao yelled again, and then the gate of Wengcheng opened, and a group of Ming soldiers rushed out.

They all knelt on the ground, hoping to live a good life like Yangshan.

At this moment Tian Hu felt that he had completely lost the morale of the army, at least the soldiers were no longer facing him.

He Jinzhao looked at the densely packed soldiers kneeling on the ground, and took two steps forward.

"You all know that Yang Shan and the others have lived a good life that you envy." He Jinzhao paused and said:
"But they have to make meritorious deeds. Even if you surrender to me now, I will not give you good land immediately. Otherwise, how can I win people's hearts?"

"My lord, what do you want us to do? Zhou Mao and others can make great achievements in battle, so can we."

A general manager immediately took the lead and yelled, he really envied his former subordinates, luck is really good.

"Okay, now there is an opportunity for you to make a military contribution and get a share of the field, before you."

He Jinzhao looked at the pair of eager eyes: "It depends on whether you can grasp it."
