Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 713 Ordinary things (third change)

The story of He Jinzhao, the leader of the hammer bandit, flooding tens of thousands of officers and soldiers was quickly spread in various places in Shanxi.

There are broadly two types of rumors.

One is that He Jinchao took the initiative to dig the Yellow River and flood the Ming army in order to protect the people under his rule from being oppressed by the Ming army.

The second is that God moved Yu He Jinchao to protect the people under his rule from being oppressed by Ming Dynasty, so he chose to help the hammer bandits and flooded the Ming army.

Because the hammer bandits who were also guarding Mengmen Pass were not flooded.

The key is that the soldiers who were trapped in the camp of the hammer bandits were also officers and soldiers not long ago.

Therefore, it is concluded that the destiny is in congratulations!

The rumors in southern Shanxi are mainly the first type. There are many officers and soldiers who were flooded by the Yellow River and survived by luck.

It's just that He Jinchao was too bad, he took the initiative to dig the Yellow River, and followed the example of Guan Erye and flooded the Seventh Army.

The rumors in northern Shanxi are mainly the second type, because he ruled the people, and he is more willing to believe that God is on the side of the hammer bandits.

Even if He Jinzhao claims to be a bandit, what he did is a hundred times better than that of an official!
Many scholars in the late Ming Dynasty were more enthusiastic about these prophecies (chen), and Ji Gui, the military advisor of He Jinchao, was the most enthusiastic person.

When the Yellow River burst through Mengmendu, he affirmed that the destiny was my lord.

Now that all kinds of rumors are spreading in Shanxi, there is no need to take the initiative to organize treasure-digging operations such as Mo Daoshi's one-eyed man in the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal before He Jinzhao broke into the palace.

It is true that the people and the officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to survive to spread the news to He Jinzhao spontaneously, all of which are tap water.

One group is looking forward to his well-being, and the other group is afraid of his reputation.

Ji Gui summarized all the recent rumors, and then handed them to He Jinchao for review.

"My lord, if things go on like this, the hearts of the people in Shanxi will be in the hands of my bandits. In a few years, the bandits will not be bandits, and the officials will not be officials."

Ji Gui said with a smile on his face: "The identity reversal of this official bandit may be in the middle of the hand."

He Jinzhao glanced at it quickly, and it was roughly the same as Huang Tian Dangli, who was dead in the sky.

In troubled times, there will always be all kinds of prophecies everywhere.

"Didn't we collect any rumors about our hammer bandits?"

"My lord is too underestimating my influence in Shanxi." Ji Gui sat aside with a smile:
"Not to mention that the Yellow River burst a few days ago, a few years before the severe drought, did the imperial court provide disaster relief and build canals?
Or did you ever send soldiers to help the people harvest wheat?
They couldn't even build water conservancy projects. The people in northern Shanxi looked at their rice tanks full of grain, and occasionally they could eat some meat.

Their children can also read and write, and they will naturally know who to follow to live a good life. "

He Jinzhao nodded slightly: "The new county chiefs, replacement mayors, deputy mayors, village chiefs, etc. of all counties have all taken up their posts, right?"

"Returning to my lord, all of them have been appointed, and the remaining eight outstanding mayors have not been promoted yet.

They are waiting for the master to send troops to the south of Shanxi and capture several counties, and then they can go to work.

In addition, there are many scholars who also expressed their willingness to join us, just waiting for the lord to let go. "

"They take refuge in me, of course I welcome them, haven't the conditions been stated long ago?

You can go to the villages below to learn from the village chief. If you can't handle it at the grassroots level, you just want to go to the sky and dream. "

"Yes."

"Don't be in a hurry to send troops immediately. After the flood, there will be a big epidemic. The previous announcement of epidemic prevention has been publicized, right?"

"Back to the lord, all the propaganda has been carried on. Not only cats are raised, but the people are also called on to raise dogs to catch mice."

He Jinzhao nodded. The current rules seem to be that when bringing a puppy home, you have to give the owner a little salt as a symbolic dowry.

"The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so it's not suitable to send troops. I will write a letter to Brother Gao, and I will send troops after a while. I need to prevent the Yellow River from breaching again."

He Jinchao paused and said, "I'm actually afraid that the soldiers will catch the disease and it will easily spread on a large scale.

Collect more lime during this period, and then send people to scatter it around Mengmendu. As long as it is a corpse, whether it is human or not, it must dig a deep pit and burn it before burying it. "

"Yes."

Ji Gui immediately wrote a notice next to him and sent people to collect lime.

"Send people across the river to investigate the situation of the Shaanxi government army."

"clear."

He Jinzhao was tired of dealing with government affairs, so he stood up and walked to the backyard.

Mrs. Gao Guiying is pushing the wooden stroller of her son He Shengming around.

He Jinzhao had a smile on his face, thinking that when his son was a little older, he planned to ask his brother-in-law to find a carpenter to make a toddler.

"Is the matter over?"

He Jinzhao put his arms around his wife's waist and said with a smile, "Things can never be finished, so it's not urgent to take it slow."

"I've heard a lot of rumors recently, which made me sleepless." Gao Guiying pushed the stroller back and forth on the spot, teasing the child.

"Huh?" He Jinzhao said suspiciously, "I thought it was me who kept you awake, why would you be unable to sleep because of some rumors?"

"Others say that a child with a cheap name is easy to support. You named your son He Shengming. Is there anyone who is such a father? I'm afraid that your son will not be ostentatious!"

He Jinzhao laughed a few times: "Don't worry, don't worry, naming a child is not all about entrusting the parents' expectations.

There are a lot of things like founding the country, patriotism and so on. If it really doesn’t work, let’s call my son by his nickname first. "

"Hmph, just sleep in Shuji's room these two days, otherwise people will think I'm a jealous person."

"Yeah." He Jinzhao quickly responded, "I see."

"Understood, why don't you see her belly up?"

"Shuji is young, giving birth to a child is prone to accidents, so take it easy."

He Jinzhao squatted down and played with his son with a rattle.

After dark, He Jinzhao rushed into Shuji's room.

Now she can speak Chinese very well.

"Husband."

Shuji undressed He Jinzhao, led him to the bed.

The two of them were lying naked on the bed, and He Jinzhao's hands climbed slowly, gently stroking across the top of the mountain.

Shuji pursed her lips, trying not to make a sound, but in the end she couldn't help it, and hummed from her nose.

He Jinzhao stood up and did what he was supposed to do.

When they were tired, the two of them wiped their bodies with clean water and lay down again.

"Husband." Shuji stroked He Jinzhao's chest with her index finger: "My mother wrote me a letter."

"Huh?" He Jinzhao looked at the curtains on the bed: "What did she let you blow into your ears?"

"Although the land on the right side of Mongolia is fertile, the harvest was not good due to the heavy rain. In addition, you divided my father's troops into three groups. I, Chahar, only have [-] war horses, and the population is less than [-]."

"Oh, it really surprises me that your father still has 5 people."

"Um, husband, are you praising him?"

He Jinzhao patted her arm: "What you said, can I hurt my father-in-law?"

Since the separation of Chahar's family, it was Shuji's mother who stayed with Lin Danhan to make the decision.

"Your mother wants me to sell her some food?"

"Well, that's probably what it means. If you don't have much food, then don't worry about it. They will go knocking on the side when the time comes, but there will be fewer people."

"Let me think about this matter, and then reply to your mother."
