Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 838 Is Really My Hero Lord (Two in One)

"Hahaha."

Zhang Fuzhen couldn't help laughing out loud.

The commander-in-chief has not expanded outwards yet, and will send spies to Shaanxi to listen to intelligence in more detail.

When the lord moves westward, I believe that more and more old men of Yang He will enter the prisoner-of-war camp.

In fact, Yang He also wanted to open up, so he said it so brazenly.

Because there is no personal enmity between him and He Jinzhao, it is a conflict of ideas and interests.

Yang He was an official in Daming, so he naturally dealt with matters for the benefit and rule of Daming.

However, He Jinchao, as a postman who was dismissed by the Ming Emperor without compensation, wanted to survive, so he could only fight back and fight for the interests of himself and some of the same people.

When Yang He wanted to appease He Jinchao, apart from the fact that He Jinchao had taken over the county, it was difficult to do so, and the early officers and soldiers were not good at attacking cities.

The most important thing is that Chongzhen dispatched Qin Wangbing, and there were not many people left in his hands.

So he could only come forward to appease, but the first person to appease Yang He hit a wall.

The longer the time dragged on, the rebels in Ganquan County could tear down houses to burn firewood for cooking, but the officers and soldiers stationed outside the city couldn't stand it anymore.

When a heavy snowfall fell, dozens of officers and soldiers were killed on the spot, and it was meaningless to drag it on. Hundreds of officers and soldiers died in non-combat first.

Only then did Yang He negotiate with He Jinchao, and pay him some money to get him out of Shaanxi.

Of course, this was not because of Yang He's benevolent discovery, but because of He Jinzhao's formidable strength.

He Jinzhao immediately bargained up the price and said that if you give me more, I can bring other thieves out of Shaanxi and save you some trouble.

The idea of ​​beggar-thy-neighbor is almost obvious in the officials of Ming Dynasty. As long as you don't make trouble in my jurisdiction, I don't care where you go to make trouble, and someone will take care of you.

As long as it's not me who is punished by His Majesty, then that's fine.

The two sides reached a py deal behind the scenes, and He Jinzhao led his men to attack Shanxi.

Only then did Yang He have more energy to deal with the remaining rebels, or pull or fight, at least laying an excellent foundation for Hong Chengchou to pacify the whole of Shaanxi.

After He Jinchao became big in Shanxi, all kinds of news reached Chongzhen.

He was very annoyed at Yang He, thinking that he was helping a thief and was planning to let him go to prison for further study, but He Jinchao cut him off and sent him to "Xiaomeishan, Taiyuan" for further study.

Now that Yang He has studied in "Little Coal Mountain in Taiyuan" for a period of time, his thoughts on the hammer bandits have really changed a lot.

After all, victories after victories, especially the big victory against the Houjin Tartars, made them change their minds.

Even Yang Wenyue, the only student in the prisoner-of-war camp, felt that with the fighting power of the Hammer bandits, it would be difficult for any officer in the Ming Dynasty to be able to defeat him.

When a group of officers and soldiers were still chasing the rogues, He Jinzhao had already left the excellent matching region in Daming.

The hammer bandits began to "interact" with the more fierce Liaodong region, and used powerful artillery and the instigated Mongolians to teach them how to behave.

Huang Taiji was willing to release the captive Han people, of course it was not his conscience.

It was "fear" of He Jinzhao, because in this away game, he didn't take advantage of the Hammers, and he also suffered a big loss and was calculated.

He came to rob Daming to enrich himself, and He Jinzhao also robbed Daming to enrich himself.

The two sides are more likely to cooperate rather than fight each other.

At least Huang Taiji doesn't want to fight He Jinzhao right now!
This battle made Huang Taiji feel that he had never been so defeated against Da Ming, which shows how strong the fighting power of these gangsters is.

I can't blame the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers for being helpless to them.

Yang Wenyue threw the fried soybeans into his mouth: "I'm the worst. I was tricked by that idiot Xu Dingchen. Staff Officer Zhang, tell me the truth, is Xu Dingchen the one who hammered the bandits?"

"Of course not." Zhang Fuzhen waved his hands again and again, then pinched his beard and said:
"However, I heard from Ji Gui that after Xu Dingchen replaced Song Yintong as the governor of Shanxi, he did a great job helping my lord gain a firm foothold in Shanxi in a disguised form.

Of course you were tricked by him, it wasn't my master who played tricks behind his back, it was actually him.

In my opinion, he is a mediocre official with a heart higher than the sky, great ambitions and few talents, and hands lower than his eyes.

Acting style is probably no different from Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty.

But one is a place of disaster, and the other is a world of cholera! "

This is true for monarchs and ministers. The more they do things, the more they are helping the enemy.

Both Yang He and Yang Wenyue had complicated feelings for Chongzhen.

After all, he was the one who promoted the two of them. Now, listening to his colleagues in the past commenting on the emperor, although he agreed with his statement in his heart, he didn't say anything to agree with him.

Because there are not a few mediocre officials like Xu Dingchen in Daming.

At least the appointment of officials by the Ministry of Officials is not because you are talented, but because you want to collect money for connections.

Many officers and soldiers naturally have to collect money to pay off their debts after they take office, and they can only collect money by themselves after paying off the debts owed due to their relationship.

With all these things, how many people in Ming Dynasty really want to do things for the court?

Even if there is, it's not their turn!
Because most of these people have no money or connections.

This led to the fact that most of the positions in the Ming court were occupied by this kind of people. It is unlikely that they would benefit the people if they were to be either side, but let them harass the people, extort violently, and drive the people away from thieves or from the later Jin Dynasty. , that was so easy.

As for Xu Dingchen's position, why is there no one fighting for it?

Because those who spend money to buy official positions know that they are here to make money, not to die!
In the past few years, most of the officials sent by the imperial court to Shanshan and Shanxi are talented, and they are not the kind of people who spend money to find connections.

In the current situation in Shanxi, whoever dares to replace Xu Dingchen will take over.

Xu Dingchen was able to do nothing but He Jinzhao did not allow Daming to send a real official here.

Yang He put down his small wine glass, smacked his lips and said: "I am under the rule of Marshal He, and the people I see are quite different from other places."

Yang Wenyue also nodded, there is no such thing as excessive taxation, Marshal He is willing to spend money to resettle the refugees and give them a stable place.

He has served in Jiangxi, Huguang, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places. It is not that there are rich and prosperous places, but it is only when he arrives in Shanxi that he finds that it is different from other places in Ming Dynasty.

The smiles on people's faces cannot be fooled.

Although people in other places can also eat enough, most of them have deep wrinkles on their faces, and most of them treat themselves as cattle and horses.

In other words, he is used to being treated like a cow and a horse, he is insensitive, and at a young age, he already looks like a 70-[-]-year-old face.

They don't look like the people under the Shanxi hammer bandits, at least they look like individuals.

Especially the big and small generals Cao and He Jinchao were defeated in a row, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, was extremely cautious and refused to cross the Yellow River easily.

At present, the imperial court has nothing to do with the hammer bandits!
It has to be said that the rest of the thieves cooperated well with He Jinzhao. They ran out and involved a large number of officers and soldiers.

The positions of governors of the five provinces have all appeared. It seems that the imperial court wants to eliminate the bandits outside, and then do everything possible to encircle Shanxi.

But when that day came, Yang Wenyue didn't know what chance the official army had.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Zhang Fuzhen handed over a letter from the broken wooden table:
"Dou Wang, my lord is a rare hero in the world. Whether you want to spend your whole life here and retire to your death, or take advantage of the general trend and ride the wind, it's all your own choice.

As for your family members, don't worry, Xu Dingchen has already reported the news of your death to the imperial court. You are now dead just like me.

Why not be reborn under the command of my lord! "

Yang Wenyue looked at Zhang Fuzhen and was speechless for a while.

"Family don't have to worry, my lord will attack Sichuan after he marches westward." Zhang Fuzhen squeezed his beard and smiled: "It's really impossible to be like me. Please send someone to take your family to Shanxi."

Yang He on the side leaned on the old bamboo chair:

"Wen Yue, you are gentle and gentle, unlike me, a bad old man who only likes to bask in the sun and teach children how to read, and he is already very satisfied.

You are not the first Ming official to come to my POW camp, and you will certainly not be the last. "

Yang He didn't make his words too clear, the whole road was made by himself.

Yang Wenyue threw soybeans into his mouth, grabbed the letter on the broken wooden table, and stood up: "I'll think about it."

Then, with his hands behind his back, Shi Shi ran into the room.

Yang He and Zhang Fuzhen looked at each other and raised their glasses for a drink.

After the guests left, only Yang He was leaning on the old bamboo chair, squinting at the green creepers hanging above his head.

The sun shone on the man, making the old man feel warm.

Yang Wenyue entered the room and opened the letter directly. He read it over and over again, and there were only three words: Come and help me.

He put the letter aside and couldn't help grinning.

He Jinzhao's actions were indeed rough and direct.

There is no flowery article saying that I need you, let us be a pair of desirable monarchs and ministers like Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

But Yang Wenyue thought about it for a while, and with the level of He Jinzhao's postman, he couldn't write that kind of article to attract talents.

In the year when he became a Jinshi, the Saarhu War broke out, and the Ming army was wiped out several times at once, so he became interested in military affairs.

It's not that Yang Wenyue didn't train soldiers before, he could also greet ordinary soldiers like He Jinzhao, but he was still a literati at heart, and it was normal for him to look down on these big soldiers.

When he started contacting Xu Dingchen, he was also very polite, but he never thought that Xu Dingchen had grown into a warlord without knowing it.

Although Xu Dingchen himself hadn't realized it yet, his actions had also become quite ruthless, disregarding the majesty of the court.

Before Yang Wenyue came, he also inquired about He Jinzhao's record, how he defeated Taiyuan in Shanxi, captured King Jin, and brought all the concubines of two generations of King Jin into the harem.

It was even rumored that he, He Jinzhao, was also involved in the crime of trampling down the streets with King Gao Chuang back then.

Such rumors do not know whether they are true or false.

From Yang Wenyue's point of view, He Jinzhao was nothing more than a larger-scale rogue, nothing special.

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, how many rebellions have occurred in more than 200 years, have they not all been put down by the court?
Isn't it because of natural disasters that there are thieves in Shaanxi?

Didn't Wang Er, Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong and other bandit leaders all die at the hands of the officers and soldiers?
Daming is big enough, and it is quite normal for someone who is a little bit more powerful in the chaos.

They were all more vicious than He Jinzhao, and even King Chuang was more famous than the Hammer Bandits.

It's just because the imperial court has been involved with a lot of energy by the Liaodong War.

Money, food, and soldiers who were good at fighting were poured in like a bottomless pit, which led to emptiness throughout the Central Plains.

Yang Wenyue is not afraid of the famous Hammer Bandit.

As long as he develops steadily in Shan'an, He Jinzhao will be able to follow the path of those dead thief kings.

Even if He Jinzhao can fight, can he beat General Xiao Cao and other giants?
The strength of a person on the battlefield is always small, and the slaughter of tens of thousands of people is enough to drown him.

How many generals have died from a stream of arrows since ancient times?
Zijin Liang was shot by a stray arrow, and the 36th Battalion fell apart after belching.

Not to mention that there are still firecrackers and artillery on the battlefield now.

As long as He Jinzhao's fate is exhausted, he can only follow the path of Zijin Liang and others.

The army is the foundation of a person's life.

When Yang Wenyue was sent to the hammer bandit's prisoner-of-war camp by Xu Dingchen, he learned many truths and found that he had completely misunderstood He Jinzhao before.

Not to mention that He Jinchao himself is extremely self-disciplined, rewarding King Jin's women to his subordinates, and he has reached the point where he is today, especially when he was a rising postman before.

There are only two or three women around, and one of them is married because of the need for marriage.

This kind of person can stick to his heart and not be tempted to sink, so he must have great ambitions.

Besides, last year even the Yellow River helped the hammer bandits flood the government army, and He Jinchao took advantage of the situation to defeat General Cao and then dominate the entire Shanxi Province.

Not to mention the recent battles with the Houjin Tartars, who have gained a lot of money again and again, forcing Huang Taiji to withdraw from the Datong Mansion.

It is enough to prove that the army he has compiled is very powerful.

Yang Wenyue used to think that He Jinchao was a small postman, but after looking at a few military books of Marshal Qi that he had bought from somewhere, he dared to be called "Chief Instructor of the 80 Uprising Army in Shaanxi", "King of Northwest Hammers" and so on. His nickname is really ridiculous!

But the fact is that Yang Wenyue was slapped in the face, making him feel that he is no different from Chongzhen and Xu Dingchen, they are both ambitious and talented people.

Even though he worked hard in Shanxi for three years, it was of no avail.

Isn't Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, the proof?
He has also been working hard to prepare and train his soldiers. He didn't wait to fight the hammer bandits. When he encountered the Jurchen Tartars attacking, didn't he hide in the city and dare not go out to fight?
Yang Wenyue doesn't think he is better than Zhang Zongheng!

It is impossible for him to play better than He Jinzhao's record.

Rumors that "Jurchens are less than ten thousand and invincible" were sung in the Ming army.

But when these post-gold Tartars met He Jinzhao's team, they were beaten and fled in embarrassment, with heavy casualties?
What if he returns to Daming?
Even Uncle Jing Liao, whom Chongzhen placed high hopes on, had to come and congratulate Jinzhao, the great Ming traitor.

Because the record was all played by He Jinchao, the name was sold to Wu Guojun.

Yang Wenyue couldn't help picking up the handwritten letter He Jinzhao wrote to him, and read it carefully.

As a Jinshi, he felt that He Jinzhao's handwriting was really ugly as a master, but he thought about He Jinzhao's situation carefully.

Tian Shi stood behind him.

Man and hold in his hand.

The geographical advantage was trampled under his feet.

Yang Wenyue had to admit that Zhang Fuzhen was right, He Jinzhao was really a rare hero!

Fortunately, he is his own master, and the small defect of ugly handwriting is completely understandable.
