Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 666 Murphy's Law (Second Change)

There is a reason for Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, to choose not to move to the nest. He is afraid that Lin Danhan, who has no brains, will attack Zhangjiakou Hushibao.

If you want to ask for a city reward, it is best to go to Datong Mansion, so that the two sides still have hope of peace talks.

If His Majesty orders the closure of the Zhangjiakou Exchange Market again, Lin Danhan will have to make trouble again, which will be even more unfavorable for him to go out to fight against thieves.

The most important thing is that Zhang Zongheng doesn't want to make wedding dresses for others, and he knows what people in other provinces think.

What annoyed him the most was that the Governor of the Xuan Mansion hadn't been supplemented in place, but the position of eunuch and supervising army was seamlessly connected by His Majesty and sent here again.

In terms of military affairs, these eunuchs didn't understand at all. Instead, relying on the emperor's favor and trust, they gave them a chance to make a fortune.

For this matter, Zhang Zongheng was very disappointed with Chongzhen.

After all, at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he got the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, but now he began to reuse eunuchs. If he recruited himself, he would inevitably follow the old path of Yingzong.

Now Chongzhen did not harm himself, but began to make people harm the governors and governors below.

"I have to write a memorial to His Majesty, saying that the Tiger Rabbit outside the Great Wall has started asking for this year's city reward again." Zhang Zongheng shook his sleeves and said:
"This year, we must never give Lin Danhan a lot of money for nothing, and we won't get a single horse. If we are doing this, then let's fight Lin Danhan. I'll see if there is no hammer bandit He Jinzhao. Support, as well as the power of his wife and sister, does he still have the guts to break through and ask for money?"

Facing the threat of Lin Dan Khan last year, Zhang Zongheng fought resolutely and made Lin Dan Khan return without success.

The two sides fought again, and Lin Danhan also didn't take much advantage.

This made Zhang Zongheng see clearly that Lin Danhan is not a person who is very good at grasping the record.

This year, he got the news that Lin Danhan's strength was divided into three by He Jinzhao, so for him, he is even less afraid of Lin Danhan.

Today's imperial court is still full of justice, because a large number of eunuchs were sent to the local area by Chongzhen to add chaos to the army.

While Zhang Zongheng was writing the letter, there was news from the court that Jiao Yuanqing was appointed as the governor of Xuanfu, the censor of the capital of Youqian.

Hearing this news, Zhang Zongheng couldn't help but sigh.

Apart from being able to read and collect books, what kind of military affairs does this old gentleman know?

That's it.

As long as it is not Xu Dingchen who can't pretend that he can do it, Zhang Zongheng, Governor of Xuanda, will be very content.

At least not a person who will be greedy for money and will not take relationships!

Otherwise, at this point in time, this kind of position would not be his turn.

Fushi County, Yan'an Prefecture.

Hong Chengchou led a very small number of troops to station here, and the rest were deployed along the Yellow River.

Chasing thieves in the flat-bottomed Qin land not only effectively trained the officers and soldiers, but also recruited many rebels and bandits to act as thugs.

As long as Cao Wenzhao can make a good start in the battle, Hong Chengchou is ready to slowly spread out his troops and fight across the river. For this reason, he also collected a lot of ships for backup and transporting troops and food.

While Hong Chengchou was waiting for the good news, Zhang Fuzhen, the governor of Yansui who had been placed in Jiazhou by him to wait for an opportunity to enter the weak territory of the hammer bandits, suddenly ran back.

"Why did you come back alone without a military order? What happened?"

Zhang Fuzhen was covered in smoke and dust, and looked old.

Although Hong Chengchou didn't want to see him, he thought that Zhang Fuzhen was a capable minister, at most he had a flawed character, was stubborn, and didn't understand human affairs.

This kind of lonely official can handle affairs, so Hong Chengchou recommended him to replace his previous position.

Moreover, Zhang Fuzhen performed well in suppressing the Shaanxi rebellion.

At the beginning, he led four thousand troops and defeated the hundreds of thousands of rebels led by Wang Jiayin one after another.

They also killed Zhang Cunmeng of Buzhangni tens of thousands of horses, Zhang Cunmeng fled with dozens of people, recruited more than 3 people, dismissed most of them, and finally hacked Buzhangni to death.

He beheaded Xue Chengcai, the old chai, and defeated Zhao Sheng, the lamp lighter. He won five battles and five victories, and was promoted to governor of Yansui.

But the situation in Shaanxi did not get better. Zhang Fuzhen raised troops, trained diligently, and used them all to suppress and appease. The governor Cao Wenzhao and others went out to fight, calmed down the leader of the gods, beheaded thousands of people, and captured tens of thousands. Shaanxi was able to put down.

Hong Chengchou wanted to execute these "dogs that ate human flesh", and he turned a blind eye to the fact that his generals killed prisoners and gained military exploits.

"What happened?"

Hong Chengchou asked again, because he felt that Zhang Fuzhen was not a person who was afraid of trouble, and he was in such a mess at this time, something must have happened.

Could it be that the hammer bandit He Jinzhao took the lead in crossing the river to rebel?

"Go back to the governor." Zhang Fuzhen bowed slightly and said, "I am not strict with my orders, and there has been a mutiny!"

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou and others felt incredible.

Ye Tinggui stood up and asked, "Why did the mutiny happen?"

"In this battle, in order to let the surrendered soldiers move forward bravely, I rewarded the surrendered soldiers generously, which made the soldiers of our department dissatisfied and mutinied."

After listening to Zhang Fuzhen's words, several high-ranking officials broke their defenses.

How could anyone do such a thing?
Who doesn't know how to win over the elderly?
If it weren't for the soldiers of your headquarters who went through life and death, could you capture so many soldiers?
Now you, the "boss", not only did not reward the people in his own headquarters, but gave more money to the latecomers.

Can the "old man" who has been following you to put down bandits everywhere in Shaanxi have no resentment in his heart?
How can such a foolish thing be done?
Hong Chengchou also had a bad expression on his face: "I said long ago that I would kill a few chickens from time to time to deter them, but now you not only don't chop them, but reward these chickens generously. How did you control them?"

Zhang Fuzhen didn't say anything, in short, the thing had already happened, no matter how much he regretted it, he couldn't help it.

Moreover, even if such a thing happened, he always believed that killing prisoners was definitely not something that should be done.

Everyone also said that Zhang Fuzhen was confused!

"The war is imminent, and such a thing happened, you wait to be dismissed, I will truthfully report the matter to His Majesty."

Hong Chengchou dealt with Zhang Fuzhen directly, and asked Chen Qiyu to take Zhang Fuzhen's position temporarily.

Zhang Fuzhen cupped his hands slightly, but still didn't say a word, he had already thought of this result on the way.

Chen Qiyu immediately led the troops of the headquarters and took He Huchen to suppress the rebels.

What Hong Chengchou was most worried about was that those rebels would be afraid after making a rebellion, and then cross the river to Shanxi to join the hammer bandits.

In this way, his arrangement might be known by He Jinzhao.

Originally, none of the spies he had sent to spy on He Jinzhao in Shanxi had returned, but now that there are troops from the headquarters, the appointment is even worse.

However, people are often afraid of what will happen, and that thing will often happen-Murphy's Law.

Obviously, what Hong Chengchou was worried about happened.

This group of rebels really crossed the Yellow River and occupied Lin County in Taiyuan Prefecture!
