Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 81

It's not that we are unwilling to spare any effort to suppress the bandits, and it's definitely not because my son, He Huchen, is with He Jinzhao.

That's why he didn't want to lead a team to storm Ganquan County.

The main reason is that if the brothers want to make more military exploits, they have to fight the rogues who are easy to fight.

He Huchen also considered for everyone, starting from the overall situation of countering the rebellion in Shaanxi, and also for the sake of the court.

Even if you take down He Jinzhao and report to the police, you will be nothing more than [-] rebels.

But the family members of the brothers are afraid that they will be lost.

The servants are all their trump cards to rule the world and act as generals.

If the hole cards are gone, then you will be underestimated as a general soldier, and you can't even control the barracks.

At that time, the "poor" emperor will reward you with three or five taels of silver as a reward, which is not worth it at all.

For such a few taels of silver, He Huchen didn't want his servant to exchange his life for it.

Through these days of fighting, He Huchen felt that He Jinzhao was a useful rebel, and as long as the Shaanxi rebels were unyielding, there would be plenty of opportunities to make money.

These dead and injured servants have to be paid for by money, so that the living can see that they will be treated better after death, so that they will work hard for you.

As for the living servants, they have to spend money to win them over.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible not to hug money.

As long as there is a war, you have to burn money in it. Haven't you seen how much Liao's salary is?

In the past, everyone used to spend 22 taels per year. Since the Liaodong War started, the imperial court has spent more than 400 million taels a year. How many times has this been doubled?
Why can't Shaanxi pay more money?
He Huchen had some expectations in his heart, Shaanxi was in complete chaos, and there were countless victims who joined the rebel army.

The food sent by the imperial court did not fall into the hands of the people at all.

Now that it's in chaos, let the court have a headache. As long as the court gives enough money, the Shaanxi uprising army can make trouble for as long as they want.

At least there is such a tenacious bandit as He Jinchao, and that is also the confidence for them to reach out to the court for money.

Liao pays so much money, it will really arouse the jealousy of others.

When Qi Jiguang was training troops in Jizhou, he got the support of Zhang Juzheng, and the court gave him more money, which caused strong dissatisfaction in the rest of the border towns.

Why do these southerners have so much money, we have guarded the north for generations with only this little money, and the court favors one over another, so conflicts abound between soldiers and soldiers.

To put it bluntly, it's all about money!

He Huchen has this calculation, the real number is normal.

He thought that it would be better to hunt down more rebels, especially to fight more with less and win a big victory, so that the data on the victory report would be much better.

Presumably His Majesty will be even more pleased!
He Huchen, an old oilfield man, finally understood what it means to kill rebels but not rebels, so it is better to coax the emperor to be happy.

As long as the current emperor approves of you, then you will rise to the top.

He Huchen took Hong Chengchou's face into consideration, and did not directly say that he would give up attacking Ganquan County.

Hong Chengchou was also thinking about whether to continue to attack Ganquan County.

He Jinzhao is not an ordinary hard board, but he has kicked so far, the sunk cost is a bit high.

He was unwilling to just withdraw like this.

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou asked again: "The rebels in Fan's Manor, but someone wants to surrender?"

"Go back to your lord, not yet."

Hong Chengchou nodded: "In this case, the chicken should be killed or killed.

Ganquan County continued to surround and beat him for three days, and I couldn't believe how much gunpowder He Jinzhao had in his hands.

Tomorrow, the armor will be distributed to the soldiers of the guard, let them go forward to make meritorious service, and give out rewards. I believe that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. "

Hong Chengchou's roundabout strategy made the generals breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as you don't let your elite servants attack the city, that's fine.

It was the first full-scale siege today, and I thought He Jinzhao would be taken down in one fell swoop, but it turned out that their officers and troops suffered a setback, which really caught them off guard.

As for the guards, they are basically cannon fodder and can be discarded.

It was a good idea for Lord Hong to let them consume the gunpowder and arrows of the rebels.

Three days later, He Jinzhao's gunpowder was exhausted, maybe they were the ones who went to pick peaches.

Human life is not equivalent to human life!
He Huchen didn't care about the lives of the soldiers in the guard either.

Anyway, they can't fight wars, they will only waste military rations, so it's better to do something useful.

Therefore, everyone expressed their full support for Hong Chengchou's strategy.

The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the guards are nothing!

"Master Governor, do you want to pursue those bandits who went to Fushi?" He Huchen asked.

"No rush, let's congratulate Jinzhao first."

Hong Chengchou waved his hand: "This group of thieves was sent out to explore the way, and if more thieves from Fan's Manor go out, the rest of the thieves may have ideas."

"Master is wise."

the next day.

There was still rumbling cannon outside the city.

Zhou Da looked at the smoky land boundary in the distance, and carefully selected the most favorable one.

Because of the firing yesterday, the artillery of the officers and soldiers did not gather together.

Instead, they disperse into a fan, so as to avoid the probability of being hit by the anti-thief's artillery.

But this is not difficult for him, according to choose a target, so as to complete the explanation given to him by the captain.

Then kill the two cannons of the dog officer army.

Outside the city is still densely packed with government troops.

The sound of shouting and killing came.

He Jinzhao hid behind the pass and carefully watched the officers and soldiers outside the city. Why did he feel that some of them were just making fucking noises, but their pace was slow.

He was as cautious as a devil entering a landmine village.

"Brothers, go ahead!"

The leading army outside the city waved their arms and directed the soldiers behind them to charge forward.

Hong Chengchou and others planned well, but the guards are not stupid!
Yesterday those elite soldiers were beaten to the bum, now let them die, what a beautiful idea.

In the matter of life-saving, the guards are no worse than others.

Then an astonishing scene appeared on the battlefield.

After a round of arrows on the city, all the officers and soldiers below the city lay down on the ground, pretending to be injured and unable to move.

The officers and soldiers attacking the city collectively performed poorly.

It is enough to show how accurate the arrows shot by the rebels are!

When Hong Chengchou saw this scene, his beard twitched in anger.

This group of guards, it is true that the mud cannot support the wall!
"Hey, captain, today's scene is really strange." Liu Erhu held the longbow, feeling incredible.

"Don't do anything."

With He Jinzhao's order, the battlefield immediately became quiet.

The rebels did not shoot arrows to stop them, because the officers and soldiers lying on the ground did not move.

He Jinzhao watched this scene, and immediately called Zhou Da over: "These people don't look like those servants."

Zhou Da leaned out and made a careful identification: "The captain is right. These are almost all brothers from our guards. They were used as cannon fodder by the dog officials and came up to consume arrows."

He Jinzhao thought about it and came up with a plan to persuade him to surrender, but not now.
