Chapter 678 The Ways of Officials and Bandits (Fourth Change)

Hong Chengchou received the urgent report sent by Chen Qiyu, such a short time is enough to see Chen Qiyu's ability.

He asked Chen Qiyu to take Zhang Fuzhen with him to quickly stabilize the morale of the army and avoid a second mutiny.

"It's no problem for Chen Qiyu to take over the position of governor of Yansui."

Hong Chengchou smiled at Ye Tinggui who was on the side, and he was very satisfied with the right-hand assistants around him.

Like Ye Tinggui, he is neither corrupt nor corrupt, but also courageous and resourceful, and he is dedicated to serving the public.

The same is true of Zhang Fuzhen. His only shortcoming is that he is stubborn and doesn't know how to adapt. He is not suitable to be an official in this complicated area of ​​Shaanxi.

Before Hong Chengchou read the letter in his hand, the smile on his face disappeared.

Zhang Fuzhen committed suicide by jumping into the river, provoking the rebellion of the bandits. Now he has contacted the hammer bandits and was taken to the other side of the Yellow River by He Jinchao.

There may be some collusion with Yang He behind the scenes.

Hong Chengchou didn't really believe Chen Qiyu's guess, but he never expected that Zhang Fuzhen would commit suicide by jumping into a river.

This old man's stubbornness is a little frightening!
Hong Chengchou didn't want to bear the name of forcing his subordinates to death, which would not be conducive to his joining the cabinet as the chief assistant in the future.

At the end of the letter, Chen Qiyu explained that through Zhang Fuzhen's affairs, he could get definite information from the hammer bandits.

The previous spies were all arrested by He Jinzhao, or they honestly revealed their identities, and they never sent back any news.

As a result, we are blinded by the inside news of the Hammer bandits.

Unlike the group of thieves in Shaanxi, spies can be sent in at will to provoke distrust between them, and eventually kill each other, or sell teammates.

In short, although our government has lost 3 horses on the surface, it has secretly hammered the high-level bandits, especially He Jinzhao.

Zhang Fuzhen was designated as Daming's loyal minister, and he would do such a thing.

Therefore, the losses of these two mutinies can be minimized. With Zhang Fuzhen secretly reporting the news, he may be able to catch the hammer bandit leader He Jinzhao on the battlefield in the future.

Therefore, we are not counting a big win, but a small win. In short, the loss is Zhang Fuzhen's previous three to 4000-man army.

Anyway, the more than 2 soldiers who were rewarded generously by Zhang Fuzhen later were all cannon fodder and worthless.

Now we have to build momentum, say that Zhang Fuzhen's whole family will be sent to Yunnan, so that he can gain He Jinchao's trust.

After reading the letter written by Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou heaved a long sigh.

The mutiny of the soldiers was already irreversible, so we could only follow Chen Qiyu's idea to minimize the loss.

Hong Chengchou thought about it carefully, and what Chen Qiyu said was also reasonable, Hei Yunlong was also captured, but he didn't find a chance to escape.

If the hammer bandits can be wiped out smoothly, Zhang Fuzhen must have nothing he can't agree to.

The two of Hong and Chen quickly reached an agreement, anyway, they will not be the ones who bear the infamy.

We two brothers are sitting here with feather fans and towels, and the years are quiet and peaceful. Naturally, someone will be your cow and horse for you, carrying the weight forward!
If Zhang Fuzhen could take the initiative to send someone to write a letter, it would be great if he knew the truth, lest he send someone to contact him, which would arouse the suspicion of the thief chief.

I hope he is in Cao Ying and his heart is in Han.

On the bank of the Yellow River.

Zhang Fuzhen was wrapped in a blanket and drank hot water, so he finally felt warmer.

He watched a group of thieves who surrendered to him go on the road of no return, which really made his heart ache.

At the beginning, he defeated thousands of bandits with a hundred gunners, and defeated tens of thousands of bandits with six hundred soldiers from Yulin.

But all kinds of things in front of him made him feel resentful that the bamboo basket was empty.

"Young lady, how can I follow a thief!"

He Jinzhao is worrying about how to deal with these people. The spring planting has just started this year, and nearly 2 people have come to join him. This will really make it more difficult for him to develop step by step.

The food problem cannot be solved overnight.

If it is really resolved, there will not be so many people in the world who are hungry and embark on the road of rebellion.

Now when he hears that Zhang Fuzhen is still daring to get angry, what he likes to do most is to slap these dog officials in the face.

He Jinzhao sat on the marching horse: "Liu Daojiang, let me ask you, you used to be a frontier soldier in Yansui Town, and you ate official meals. Why did you rebel?"

"Back to Commander-in-Chief, the imperial court does not pay the military, and I have to pay my respects to the superior, so there is nothing to eat at all."

"What about after the rebellion?"

"If you have food to eat, you can still eat meat."

"Haven't you been full since you were recruited?" Zhang Fuzhen also asked Liu Daojiang in front of him.

Faced with Zhang Fuzhen's question, Guo Tai, who was also standing not far away, dared not speak out.

"When I went back to my old parents, I was half full. I haven't seen a meat smell in the army for half a month."

"At least what you are chewing is not the flesh and blood of ordinary people." Zhang Fuzhen sneered, wrapped in a blanket, "It's not like King He here, sucking the blood of ordinary people."

Zhang Fuzhen was extremely angry when he saw people pushing carts to deliver food to the hammer bandits. It must be He Jinchao who used a knife to persecute them.

Because of the sudden incident, Zhang Fuzhen mutinied again and crossed the river to throw food for nearly 2 people, which was not in He Jinzhao's budget.

So he sent people to the peasant associations around Linxian County to find out if there were any people willing to sell grain in addition to saving their daily meals.

There are 2 new people added, and one mouth is a big belly man.

"You're a badass." He Jinzhao pointed at Zhang Fuzhen and said, "Liu Daojiang, you said that the official you were loyal to in the past, did he have a brain hole?"

Liu Daojiang didn't dare to respond, but Guo Tai tried his best to stretch his ears.

"The common people have become poor ghosts, how can they have food? If they want to rob, they will also rob the rich!"

He Jinzhao stared at Zhang Fuzhen and said, "Old man, isn't it possible that your military rations are not eating the flesh and blood of ordinary people?

Daming dog officials can exploit the people reasonably and watch them starve to death.

When it comes to Lao Tzu, buying a little rich food from the people is a big treason?
Zhang Fuzhen, you have to live well, let's see how long Ming Zuo, where the sun and moon shine, can last!
Maybe before you die, you will be able to see that Daming is gone.I'm dead! "

"Hahaha, it's really a joke in the world." Zhang Fuzhen also stood up and pointed at He Jinchao and said, "Just you are worthy of destroying Daming."

"Ah."

He Jinzhao pointed to the people who were delivering grain. When they received the price of grain that was twice the market price, they all looked at the people behind with a smile on their faces.

"We don't dare to sell grain to Hammer bandits, and we don't dare to waste grain. If you don't believe Master Hammer, look."

A commoner smiled at the quartermaster with Chen Liang in his hand.

For this kind of officers and soldiers who acted temporarily on the battlefield, He Jinzhao didn't give them much good treatment, as long as they don't starve to death.

Zhang Fuzhen's aura suddenly weakened. The common people would rather attach themselves to the bandits than to the officers and soldiers, which is enough to explain many problems.

"Isn't that right?"

"You deliberately sent people to pretend to be ordinary people to deceive me."

"Heh heh."

He Jinzhao spat at the yellow earth: "Damn old man, take a picture after taking a piss, you deserve it too!"
