Chapter 667 Rebellion by the Official Army (Third Change)

Hong Chengchou has already made a plan for the encirclement and suppression of Shanxi bandits.

Who would have thought that there would be a big problem here for Zhang Fuzhen.

After all, based on what Zhang Fuzhen had done in the past, he was familiar with military affairs, and appointed him as a good helper to put down the rebellion.

Since Hong Chengchou became the governor of the three sides, he has vigorously promoted scholars with military talents in Shaanxi, and let them lead troops to train soldiers.

Because of Ye Tinggui's actions to punish corrupt officials, a large amount of money and food was produced.

Hong Chengchou even hinted that he could continue to do it to get more money and food for the army.

This is three times higher than Shaanxi's annual tax. It is really fast and justifiable.

Of course, the punishment of corrupt officials is only in the small circle of Shaanxi, where bandits and bandits have been rampant.

If it was done in the capital, Hong Chengchou would have died long ago without a place to bury him.

Which person in a high position has not accepted the kindness from his subordinates?
Didn't you see that because someone proposed to let wealthy merchants spend money for the court, the ministers are going to kill the person who raised this opinion?
They even slandered him as someone sent by the hammer bandit He Jinzhao, just to destroy the stability of the court, and he should be cut to death.

In short, some of them are not real or fake, and all of them have put a lot of buffs on him. The scholar-bureaucrats and high-ranking officials stood on the commanding heights of morality to slander him.

In the end, it was achieved that Emperor Chongzhen gave up this unrealistic idea, because it really harmed their interests.

Therefore, He Jinchao's method cannot be implemented if it is designated by the court.

Hong Chengchou did not dare to expand the scale of punishing corrupt officials. The money and food he had sent Ye Tinggui worked so hard to get was scattered by Zhang Fuzhen to a group of soldiers and thieves, which really made him feel heartbroken.

What made his heart hurt even more was that a group of old soldiers of the Ming army who followed Zhang Fuzhen directly rebelled and ran to the territory of the hammer bandits.

Most of the remaining soldiers and thieves who did not escape!

Hong Chengchou signaled to Chen Qiyu to immediately send someone to appease these Ming soldiers.

But at this time, the hammer bandit He Jinzhao really received the envoy sent by the original Zhang Fuzhen's subordinates.

The sand table has been covered with a cloth.

When He Jinzhao heard the words of the official army envoy in front of him guarding Mrs. Guo, he suddenly found it inconceivable.

Yansui Governor Zhang Fuzhen's achievements, through Yansui General Soldier Wang Chengyin, he has heard of.

How could such a foolish thing be committed?

Even if the latecomers have outstanding abilities, they are definitely not rewarded in this way.

How to reward before a fight is really unfair.

He Jinzhao even wondered in his heart, is this Zhang Fuzhen's intentional trick?

After a false surrender, his core confidantes joined the hammer bandits, and finally gave himself a fatal blow at the right time.

"Qiu Zhitao, take Guo Shoubei to the side hall and talk about my policy of hammering bandits."

"Yes." Qiu Zhitao stood up.

"Guo Shoubei, I am quite confused about this matter, so I have to discuss it with my people first, and you can wait at ease."

"Yes."

Mrs. Guo had heard of the prestige of Hammer Bandit He Jinzhao, he was known for treating his subordinates kindly, and at the same time he would not kill prisoners indiscriminately, at most they would send them to dig coal.

People like them who took the initiative to revolt and join the establishment will definitely be reused.

Otherwise, the guerrilla general would not have chosen to cross the river to surrender him immediately. Hong Chengchou is not merciless in killing people!
Especially seeing with your own eyes how to kill prisoners?

Even those thieves who surrendered would pull them out from time to time and kill hundreds of them to frighten the rest, and cut off their heads by the way to reward the court.

"This happened strangely." He Jinzhao groped for the short beard on his chin.

Thanks to the fact that the hammer bandits did not occupy a particularly large number of county towns, and the county magistrate thought that the government army was coming to attack, he simply opened the door to admit the Ming army into the city. Who would have thought that they were actually rebels who came to join He Jinzhao.

He sold the magistrate of Lin County all at once, and sent it over by the way to sell it to He Jinzhao to show his sincerity.

This person was taken directly to the coal mine to dig coal.

Under the control of the hammer bandits, the county magistrate's government orders hardly ever come out of the yamen's office, and they exist in name only. Those slippery yamen servants and clerks naturally know who to listen to.

After He Jinzhao finished speaking, there was silence in the hall.

In any case, the Ming rebels came directly across the river to beg for surrender, and they had to accept it, otherwise they would fight desperately when they encountered the official army in the future.

The question is whether this incident is a false surrender plan by the government and the army.

"Marshal, let's encircle Lin County first?" Liu Zongmin narrowed his one eye: "After crossing the Yellow River anyway, attacking the county first doesn't look like surrendering, just let them see what our hammer bandits are doing. Strength, so as not to be half-hearted."

"I'm not in a hurry to show force. I want Hong Chengchou to cross the river with confidence."

He Jinzhao was not surprised that this group of Ming rebels crossed the river smoothly, some places were originally reserved for Hong Chengchou to cross the river.

If they are not allowed to cross the river, how can they cross the river by themselves?
"Let the brave general Bai Huixi guard the Wubao Ferry first, and let him send people to patrol around Lin County by boat."

He Jinzhao now just wants to confirm whether this group of people really rebelled.

"Yes."

Since someone started to write an order, He Jinzhao was asked to stamp it with his seal.

"Marshal, I'll go talk to them." He Zan stood up and begged:

"Although I am a bandit on the surface, but because of my father's relationship behind my back, I can enjoy myself with the officers and soldiers. Let them see my current prestige. Being an officer is nothing special, but my salary will be deducted."

"Tsk tsk tsk." He Jinzhao sat on the chair and pointed at him, "He Zan, when we first met, you liked to do this kind of thing of going to meetings alone, and now you're a general, you still like to do this kind of thing! "

"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about me being unlucky, Commander." He Zan straightened his body and said, "That's because I met a fledgling Commander, but how many people like Commander are there in the world?"

Everyone laughed, looking at the rest of the leaders of the rebel army, there really were not many who could do what He Jinzhao did.

Liu Erhu was the person who disapproved of He Jinzhao's rebellion at the beginning, but now he has become the "number one running dog" under his command.

Whoever dares to oppose He Jinzhao must first ask him whether he will agree to the knife in Liu Erhu's hand, ask them whether they will agree to the tens of thousands of horses under their command, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in Shanxi!
The appearance of He Jinzhao is their luck and the opponent's misfortune.

Fan is afraid of making comparisons, so look at the big old Li next door.

We are all people who have experienced miserable days, and now we cherish and maintain the hard-won good days!

He Jinzhao stood up, patted him and praised him, "Among all the generals, I always thought that you are the one who is the most stable in handling things. In fact, you have always been the one who is the easiest to go wrong."

He Zan bowed again and said with a smile: "The commander lied to me in Ganquan County, didn't he want me to observe how the rebels rebelled? I learned all this from the commander."

"Hey, what lied to you." He Jinzhao quickly waved his hands and said, "I was fooling you."

 I forgot to post the list of rewards during this time.Thanks for the sponsorship of Fainting Bird of Paradise 8000 taels of silver, mung bean ai kuih 200 taels of silver, Zhizhiyu, and book friends 20220614004107918100 taels of silver.
