Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 302 Guiding Public Opinion (Second Change)

Some of the villagers who came to inquire about the news were lucky enough to catch a publicity team performing.

These former musicians kept promoting the idea of ​​the peasant association, taking advantage of the short period of slack in the fields to step up publicity, which is equivalent to going to the countryside to perform as condolences.

After Qiu Zhong gets busy, the propaganda team can take a break.

The idea of ​​the peasant association was an eye-opener for the common people and military households who sneaked over to learn about the situation.

Joining He Jinchao's team, even if you can't be his soldier, it will be a lot of benefits to be a commoner for him!
They are all asking, when will the governor be able to bring down Sancha City?
Anyway, it's only a few dozen miles away, and it's not far away.

They also want to live such a good life.

It's a pity that the people under He Jinzhao's rule don't know about this kind of thing, so they can only talk about it uncertainly.

Some tenants cruelly wanted to run over and join He Jinzhao, but were persuaded by their relatives to hold back.

Maybe the Zhenfu envoy will send out troops when the weather turns cold in a few days.

They heard from the military master that the weather was too hot for marching and fighting.

If you run here now, wouldn't it be a loss when the governor leads troops to fight there?
The courageous tenants thought about going back and borrowing more usury from the landlord. Anyway, when He Jinzhao led the army to come, they would definitely burn the usury, and then they would be debt-free.

After being sucked by the landlord for so many years, it is time for them to bleed.

The people in Hequ and Piantouguan counties were elated because of Xia Harvest.

The people who are neighbors are all looking forward to it day and night.

Rumors began to circulate in the countryside that in autumn, He Jinzhao would come to kill him.

Because once the Mongolian Tartars outside the Great Wall make a move, it will be in autumn.

Therefore, many timid landlords do not stay in the old houses in the villages and towns.

Quan ran to the county seat to prevent He Jinzhao from killing him suddenly.

The miners naturally heard about this, but they just don't know if they have a chance to divide the mine?

After all, everyone is not a tenant, so they can only divide the mine. If the iron mine is not sold to the Mongols, it will be bought by merchants, and it will not sell for much.

It would be great if He Jinzhao could collect iron ore and sell it to He Jinzhao.

The miners heard that He Jinzhao was paid for his purchases.

The Ming army military fort, Octagonal Fort, is at the forefront of fighting against the hammer bandit He Jinzhao.

Here is a square with a circumference of four miles and an octagonal warehouse, so it is named so.

Beginning in the autumn of the 15th year of Wanli, Mongolian cavalry raided and harassed this place, gradually transforming it into a military important place.

Originally stationed here for defense, but with the death of the deputy commander Tian Zhao.

General Tian Ming sent his confidant Qian Zong Wanlu here to avoid being attacked by the hammer bandits.

Although Wan Lu is a thousand bosses, he is also a man on empty pay. In addition to the garrison originally stationed here, he can barely gather 1000 people.

As far as this is concerned, most of them don't have armor, and their weapons are not well maintained.

Since the exchange with Alta, only a few Mongols will come here to wreak havoc, and only the chief soldier and the servants of the participating generals can deal with it.

And most of these side generals also learned from Li Chengliang in Liaodong.

When the Mongols came to rob the common people of the Ming court, the soldiers of the Ming army did not care.

When the big bags and small bags they looted are ready to leave, the whole army will attack.

Only in this way can we obtain the greatest combat exploits and facilitate the capture of more spoils.

Turning the left hand into the right hand not only logically grabs things from the common people, but also cuts off the heads of the Mongols to earn money from the court.

In any case, the sale is profitable.

Therefore, the guards of the Ming army were all waiting for He Jinzhao to plunder the people, causing complaints in the people's livelihood, and they were incarnate as messengers of justice to rescue the people.

However, according to the news that came back now, He Jinzhao not only did not abuse the people, but distributed a lot of food to the people.

Wan Zong Wan Lu was very worried, and Tian Zhao, the deputy commander, was killed by He Jinzhao.

The Hammer bandits passed by Sancha city swaggeringly before, but they didn't fight at all, and went south directly to besiege Taiyuan.

On the contrary, the soldiers of the Ming army breathed a sigh of relief.

Wan Lu could only rely on a hundred elite soldiers to guard the Bajiao Fort.

It's okay to go out and bully the common people, but if you bully any landlord, you may be liquidated.

Who knows which side family is standing behind him.

"My lord, the people in the countryside have been rumoring recently that the Hammer Bandit He Jinzhao will capture Sancha City, Wuzhai Fort, Kelan County, and Baode Prefecture this autumn.

At that time, our Octagonal Fortress may also be wiped out by the way. "

Hearing the words of his confidant, what can Wan Lu do? The soldiers under his command don't have enough pay and have been in arrears all the time. How can he fight against the hammer bandits?

These soldiers are also short of food and clothing, and they must abandon the light and surrender to the dark.

Of course, Wanlu would not say these words outside.

"The grain that should be harvested must be harvested well, lest the hammer bandits come in the future and remove all the grain from the landlord's house.

Convince them all to move to our castle, where there are eight large granaries. "

"Yes."

Wan Lu's idea was to rely on the servants of the landlord's family to help him guard the castle.

After all, the landlord's wealth, life and food are all in the bunker, so it's their turn not to come and work hard.

Wan Lu knew very well that the soldiers of the Ming army who were paid and the soldiers of the Ming army who were not paid had the same combat effectiveness as the sky and the earth.

The imperial court can't even pay you in arrears, and you still expect your brothers to work hard for you?
Once he died or was injured, not to mention whether the previous wages owed would be returned, even if it was a pension, there would be no compensation.

It is better to live than to die, and one day to live is one day.

Fighting the hammer bandits?
Only a fool like a foreign Mongolian would go all out for Daming.

Sometimes, those who are loyal to Daming are those foreigners.

Because they managed to hug Da Ming's legs, and if they wanted to be Da Ming's loyal servants, they had to work harder to gain trust.

Ningwuguan General Tian Ming also received information that the hammer bandits might attack.

He had guarded against He Jinzhao for a long time, but the hammer bandits only moved back and forth between Taiyuan and Hequ.

It seems that they want to fight Taiyuan, and they don't seem to want to fight. It's like fishing, which makes people confused.

But now that the hammer bandits had food in their hands, they had enough confidence.

General Tian Ming didn't dare to bet that He Jinzhao would not miss Ningwu Pass.

If Ningwu Pass fell into He Jinzhao's hands, he would be able to control many important roads, so Tian Ming had to guard against it.

"This news still needs to be confirmed, send someone to inquire again."

"My lord, two of our army's sentries have been lost. I'm afraid they will need to make up to look like peasants who want to work part-time to earn money. Your lord will pay for the travel expenses."

Hearing this, Tian Ming felt that it was reasonable, and he sent people to run carelessly under He Jinzhao's rule, which might cause disaster.

"Well, send a group of men and horses to check and take care of each other."

"Yes."

When He Jinzhao secretly sent people to spread the propaganda around, the surrounding people or the Ming army all made some moves.

Everyone wants to go to that "paradise" to see if it's true or not.
