Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 665 A Mess of Tangle (Part [-])
Xu Dingchen was stationed in Fanzhi County.

The official title of Shanxi Governor is Governor of Shanxi Province and Admiral Yanmenguan and other military affairs, and his station is in Taiyuan.

As the governor of Shanxi, he couldn't control Shanxi at all. He only had Dai County and Fanzhi County in his hands, and he had to send people to guard Yanmen Pass at all times to prevent the hammer bandits from entering.

The resident has long been occupied by the hammer bandit He Jinzhao, and all the jobs of governors in various places in Shanxi have been replaced by He Jinzhao!

Xu Dingchen clearly recalled that the imperial court would not allocate money to him, and even if it did, it would have to be withheld or kept by Governor Xuan Da.

Therefore, he occupied the gold mine output in Fanzhi County, exchanged the gold for silver, and distributed it to the soldiers loyal to him, and did not hand it over to the court at all.

Anyway, so many silver mines and gold mines in the world are in a state of loss, and Shanxi is losing a gold mine, which is nothing.

Presumably His Majesty should be used to this matter.

In this way, Xu Dingchen quickly won over the 600 Maobing soldiers, and no one withheld them. He came to send them in person, and the Maobing soldiers swore to serve him, and they all became his pacesetters.

Therefore, all the mining tyrants in Fanzhi County were defeated by him.

After having a stable gold income, the only disadvantage is that there is not much food and grass.

It is impossible to allocate counties to support him with food and grass.

Xu Dingchen sent people to Datong Mansion and Xuan Mansion to buy grain with gold, but the price of grain is still high now.

Especially Zhangjiakou Mutual Market, because it was set on fire by thieves, it is said that there is a shortage of food, and even Shanxi merchants are gone. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but people who went to sell food said that the traces of the fire in the city are still there.

The Shanxi merchants lost a lot in that fire, and the heads of the big Shanxi merchants died!

He even sent people to Jizhen to buy grain, but the grain in the shop in Jizhen had already been bought up by the officers and soldiers.

Xu Dingchen wrote another letter to Wu Guojun, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, hoping to support him one or two times, but Uncle Jing Liao couldn't read it anymore.

In order to buy Mang Gurtai's head from He Jinzhao, Wu Guojun had scavenged all the grain in Ji Town, and even bought a batch of grain in the capital.

When he really received Xu Dingchen's letter, he pretended not to have seen it.

Because once he replied, these civil servants would stalk him for food.

Wu Guojun really didn't have military rations in his hands, and he still counted on the imperial court to distribute the soldiers' salaries and rations.

What's more, a civil servant who was thrown by the court to fill a pit in Shanxi, what kind of ability could Xu Dingchen still want to lead troops to fight against He Jinzhao?
Why doesn't he go to heaven?

In Wu Guojun's view, this is more realistic, just like Wan Hu, who can fly into the sky by tying a rocket to a chair.

I don't give him food, it's for Xu Dingchen's good, lest he die in vain!
He Jinzhao, he could even slaughter the youngest of the Jurchen elite, Big Baylor who was on the same level as Huang Taiji.

Why does Xu Dingchen think that with the few people under his hands, he can wipe out the hammer bandits in Shanxi, just by talking about it?
From Wu Guojun's point of view, just like Xu Dingchen, a scholar who occupies a high position and has high eyesight but low hands, he still feels that he can become the second Zhang Juzheng, and Daming will become so bad.

But Xu Dingchen didn't know Wu Guojun's thoughts, and he didn't get a reply for a long time. He felt that he was underestimated by Wu Guojun, and then he wrote to the emperor to impeach Jing Liaobo for reselling the military rations. It was resold to others.

In desperation, Xu Dingchen bought grain from Baoding Mansion and Zhending Mansion in Northern Zhili. With the help of Lu Xiangsheng, he finally bought some.

Datong Mansion had already been beaten to pieces by Lin Danhan, how could there be any surplus food to sell?
Just when Xu Dingchen was worried about food and grass, a letter from Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, was sent to him.

The content of the letter is that the fierce general Cao Wenzhao has led the Guanning iron cavalry to cross the Yellow River and gained a firm foothold in Hejin.

I hope Xu Dingchen can restrain He Jinzhao, the hammer bandit occupying northern Shanxi. In addition, in order to prevent Xu Dingchen from not having many troops under his command, he will send Li Bei, Ai Wannian and other generals [-] troops to support him. On the one hand, you have to do a good job of supporting it.

After reading the letter, Xu Dingchen couldn't help cursing a few words.

I'm really afraid of something!
I have no food!

Of course Xu Dingchen needed Hong Chengchou to send troops to support him, but he didn't have much food in hand, how could he support another 3000 people?
If General Qin arrived in Jin and did not provide food himself, he would be designated to plunder the people in Xu Dingchen's only two remaining counties.

The military discipline of most guest soldiers is not very good!
They can even take advantage of the heads of fellow villagers in their hometown, let alone go to other places to fight.

In desperation, Xu Dingchen could only pinch his nose and write a letter to Xuanda Governor Zhang Zongheng, asking him to come together to encircle and suppress the hammer bandits.

Who made him his own boss?

Governor Xuanda is in charge of the governors of the three towns, but Zhang Zongheng is also very depressed recently.

Damn, the dog eunuch Wang Kun directly killed the newly appointed governor in order to show his performance in front of the emperor, and now there is a vacancy for the governor again.

Zhang Zongheng heard that in the imperial court, there was another party struggle. In order to avoid corruption and bribery for the next governor, he was never appointed, which made him extremely passive.

Now Xu Dingchen wants to lead the army himself and go to Fanzhi County with food and grass, ready to leave Yanmen Pass to fight against the hammer bandits?

What's on his mind?

Lin Danhan outside the Zhangjiakou Hushi Fort is gearing up, waiting for him to lead the troops away so that he can plunder the Zhangjiakou Hushi Point.

Is it true that last year He Jinchao helped Lin Danhan to pacify the Mongolian left wing, can you hide it from me?

Xu Dingchen was just an idiot, but His Majesty thought he did a good job, and Zhang Zongheng was left speechless about this matter.

It's not as good as his predecessor Song Yintong, at least he won't make trouble, and he knows how to give up if he has no ability.

I'm afraid of this kind of incompetent person who still thinks about messing around.

So Zhang Zongheng also couldn't read Xu Dingchen's letter.

The old man is the governor, and it is not yet the turn of a governor to instruct me to send troops to fight against the hammer bandits.

As for Hong Chengchou's ability to pacify the bandits in Shaanxi, let's wait until his army crosses the Yellow River and enters Shanxi to obtain results.

Otherwise, if I first attracted the troops of the hammer bandit He Jinzhao, wouldn't it be that I made a wedding dress for Hong Chengchou in vain, and in the end the loss is all my own, and all the credit is his.

"Xu Dingchen can't even see through this, so he's still a governor?" Zhang Zongheng shook his sleeves:
"Since he took office as the governor of Shanxi, thanks to his efforts, the hammer bandit He Jinzhao has become stronger and stronger. This idiot can't figure out what's going on internally and externally!"

"My lord, let's stand still?"

"Continue to train soldiers in Xuanfu, why rush to send troops!"

Zhang Zongheng pointed to the map and said: "Your Majesty clearly means encirclement and suppression in the three provinces, but why haven't I heard that the army from Henan Province sent troops to Jin.

Hong Chengchou just let us take the lead, what is his intention? "
