Be the emperor from the postman

After Cao Wenzhao and others finished their meal, they rested in the public house of the village chief and others to shade themselves.

"I remember some people have a sign at the door, what is that?"

Yuan Shizhong was shirtless at this time: "This is the honor set by Marshal He, let the village chief introduce it."

"It's divided into three types of honors." The village chief stretched out his finger and said:

"The first type is soldiers, which are divided into two cards, disabled soldiers and casualties, which are the most important.

The second type is for the common people to farm, and only a few towns will choose a labor expert card.

The third type is the internal affairs expert card of the officials. Each county will only elect one person every two years, which is mobile. "

The village head paused and laughed: "The third type is still being tested, and it hasn't been judged in one session so far.

After all, my family's commander-in-chief only occupied Shanxi last year, and Jinnan and other places also lack people to fill. "

Cao Bianjiao also became extremely surprised at this time: "We stinky mounds also have honor?"

"That must be the case." Yuan Shizhong raised his chest and said:
"For families with the first type of cards hanging on their doorsteps, the commander-in-chief will send people to deliver New Year's goods every year, and their children and grandchildren can directly join the army within two generations."

"What do you mean?" Cao Bianjiao was a little dazed: "Isn't it necessary for all children and grandchildren to join the army?"

"At first glance, it is a misunderstanding of our Hammer bandits." Yuan Shizhong fanned the cattail fan:

"My family's marshal said that future generations have the idea of ​​​​choosing what career they want to pursue. They can inherit their father's career if they want to, and they can do other jobs if they don't want to.

In fact, I would like my son to continue to serve in the army. I was lucky enough to see the map collected by the commander in the past. The place is so old that maybe three generations of grandparents may not be able to capture it. "

"is it?"

Cao Bianjiao is not sure, but considering that He Jinzhao wants to conquer two capitals and thirteen provinces, as well as Houjin in Liaodong, Mongolia in Mobei, and even several remnants of Mongolian and Yuan countries in the west, the map is indeed quite big.

Yuan Shizhong snorted: "Little General Cao, don't think you can fight, but your knowledge is definitely not as wide as my family's commander-in-chief, so what if you come from a general? .

Can you give us a bunch of mud legs to give lectures in the martial arts hall?
Most of us can understand the content of my family's master's lectures.

The chief coach of the 80 uprising army in Shaanxi is not talking for nothing!

I'm sure, my commander-in-chief doesn't need 80, a hundred thousand troops can conquer the world! "

Cao Bianjiao really shook his head, thinking it was unlikely.

With He Jinzhao's development model, if he doesn't rely on local gentry to control the place, he won't be able to do it anyhow.

During the chat just now, except for some small landlords, many big landlords who did evil things were all taken away for trial, and then slaughtered in public to anger the people.

The landlords and gentry in other places will not sit back and watch themselves be killed, they will definitely make trouble behind them.

He Jinzhao can occupy a place, but managing it is very troublesome.

Especially when a group of foreigners went to manage it, it would be even more troublesome.

Even though his uncle went to fight in Liaodong for many years, he never integrated into the group of generals in Liaodong. Instead, he was kicked out to support Shaanxi.

But Sun Shoufa and the others didn't think as much as Cao Bianjiao, what the hell were they thinking so much about?
How much money did Daming give you so that you could work hard for him?
Unlike Marshal He's place, the welfare is good, the salary is high, and the promotion is fast, and the key is to be able to fight.

In such a comparison, the Ming army has a fart advantage?
Marshal He occupied all of Shanxi and defeated the Houjin Tartars. As long as he accumulates more food and grass, he will designate him to launch a war abroad.

At that time, there will be no worries about military achievements.

Overall, they were very satisfied with the scenes they saw with their own eyes.

He Jinzhao is dealing with matters in the government office.

"My lord, if Cao Bianjiao doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, is it possible that my lord really wants to let him go?"

Ji Gui fanned his fan and asked.

"These border generals of the Ming Dynasty, the children of the family mostly occupy important positions in various towns." Zhang Fuzhen responded:
"If the lord can't occupy their hometown, it will be difficult for them to surrender."

Don't think of civil servants like him and Yang Wenyue, they are not hereditary.

His parents were both farmers, and they flew out of the mud for him to study.

As for Yang Wenyue's family doesn't have much money, his parents are not wealthy, so they are easy to rely on.

Those generals are intertwined. Even if one person surrenders, the family members will not all surrender unless they occupy his hometown.

He Jinzhao nodded slightly: "It's okay, I'm worried that Yang He is alone, and it's okay to let the new students stay."

He Jinzhao saved Cao Bianjiao's life, so he didn't think about letting him go back easily.

The meat rotted in the pot.

Everyone laughed loudly, they had already planned for accepting and joining the Ming army and incorporating them into the camp.

Time flies, and even Xia Zhong starts to get busy.

"Master." Qiu Zhitao held a letter and said, "Something happened in Shaanxi."

He Jinzhao reached out to grab the information and sorted out the information: "The Eight Battalions of Hengxinglang and Yidougu raised [-] troops and entered Wuguan in the west. Shanyang, Zhen'an, and Shangnan fell on the same day.

Then go north to Luonan and advance to Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi.

Hong Chengchou was greatly shocked, and hurriedly mobilized the garrisons of Heyang and Hancheng to intercept him head-on.

The rebel army then turned around and went south, conquering Xunyang, Ziyang, Pingli, Baihe and other places.

When Hong Chengchou's army arrived, the rebel army had already gone south to Sichuan. "

After several staff officers listened, Yang Wenyue took the lead and said:

"My lord, they can't enter the heartland of Sichuan, Qin Liangyu is one of the few good generals in the world, and in addition to the difficult terrain in central Sichuan, it is definitely not possible to win with a superior number of people.

Many places are deep mountains and old forests, and agriculture is extremely underdeveloped, which cannot provide food and grass for the brigade.

As long as they cannot enter the hinterland of Sichuan, they will either starve to death in situ or withdraw from Sichuan, there is no choice. "

He Jinzhao nodded slightly. If there were no locals to lead the way in Sichuan, anyone would be afraid to go there. It is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack.

So what's the matter, it's not bragging that one man should be open and ten thousand men should not be open.

"It seems that Hong Chengchou made a false alarm and mobilized the troops stationed on the other side of the Yellow River. For us, it is a good thing."

Hong Chengchou had limited troops, and he couldn't afford to support so many people.

"My lord, shall we continue to send agents across the river to inquire about Shaanxi news?"

"Send, continue to send out." He Jinzhao paused and said, "Also go to Yanmen Pass, Datong Mansion, and Chen Qiyu's place to inquire."

"Yes."

Ever since Huang Taiji withdrew his troops, no Ming army inside the Great Wall dared to stop him.

Only Na Muzhong and the others attacked quietly. The temporary camp they built at night did not make a frontal assault, but adopted harassment tactics.

In this regard, Huang Taiji was quite helpless.

The cavalry under his command could not catch up with the Mongolian cavalry who had better riding skills in light armor.

For this reason, he could only learn from He Jinzhao who set traps around the camp and always sent people to patrol and watch at night.

But the difficulty of defending against thieves every day really made Huang Taiji feel uncomfortable.

As expected, He Jinzhao didn't mean anything, he clearly agreed not to invade each other within two years, and they worked together to beat Daming.

He even let the Mongols under his command attack him, what kind of word game!
Huang Taiji took it for granted that Na Muzhong, Su Butai and others were He Jinchao's people, rather than obeying Lin Danhan, that trash.

The army went out to fight, and finally returned to Shenyang stumbling.

Although this expedition has achieved certain victories, it is not as exciting as the first plunder of the Ming capital.

The point is that the bodies of many soldiers were never found.

In particular, he had to continue to draw men to join the army to replenish his troops.

This is one of the places where Huang Taiji lacks confidence in facing Shang He Jinzhao.

He Jinzhao boasted that Shanxi has a population of one million, and he can pull out an army of 20.

Huang Taiji boasted that Liaodong has a population of 300 million, and he can also pull out an army of 20.

But among the 20 troops, more than half of them are not Jurchens, and even fewer are Jianzhou Jurchens.

This was what worried Huang Taiji the most.

He can't afford to compete with soldiers and fight a large-scale war of attrition.

However, He Jinzhao is still much more difficult than the Ming army. The Ming army can't even beat himself, let alone beat the hammer bandits!

This made it difficult for Huang Taiji to accept for a while. He wanted to restrict He Jinzhao's development and hold him back.

Just like Na Muzhong and others were entrenched on the left wing of Mongolia, holding back Huang Taiji's retreat.

Being held back unilaterally was something that Huang Taiji could not accept, nor did he want to be so passive.

As a result, some things are often not bright in the east and bright in the west. Shang Kexi, the deputy general guarding Guanglu Island, followed Kong and Geng's footsteps, leading to the complete collapse of Ming's Liaodong coastal defense.

When the Hou Jin army broke through Lushun, hundreds of Shang Kexi's family members, wives and concubines were all killed by the Hou Jin tartars.

Under such a sea of ​​blood and deep hatred, Shang Kexi still came to join Huang Taiji, and he had to benefit from his Shangguan Shen Shikui.

After Huanglong was defeated and committed suicide, Shen Shikui took over as the general soldier of Dongjiang.

In fact, ever since Mao Wenlong was killed, the imperial court has always wanted to give up here.

So Huanglong made a big mistake. On the one hand, the court had no one to replace him, and on the other hand, he was too lazy to pursue it, so he continued to serve here.

Before Huang Taiji went west, he had written a surrender letter to Shen Shikui.

Shen Shikui did not surrender, but Zhu Deming, the chief executive under him, led five people to escape from Phi Island by boat.

Huang Taiji's daughter bought horse bones and gave them to Zhu Deming's wives, concubines, servants, horses, cows, donkeys, sable fur, clothes, and houses. The five people they brought were also given preferential treatment and settled properly.

It can be said that apart from the fields, what He Jinzhao gave to his subordinates was much more heroic.

Use practical actions to prove to the rest of the Ming army that you don't have to worry about following him in the future.

This kind of action is essentially no different from He Jinzhao's recruitment of Cao Bianjiao.

Huang Taiji knocked you unconscious with money and let you board his thief ship.

He Jinzhao is telling you to rebel with me, not only will you benefit yourself, but if you hold your head up in the villages and towns, even if it is the wealth of future generations, it can also continue.

Such a policy of "punishing the heart" is better than a big pie crusade.

Huang Taiji was even more courageous than his advisers. He didn't want to just recruit a thousand generals of the Ming army, but directly recruited the Dongjiang generals.

However, although Shen Shikui was born as a businessman and was illiterate, he later grew up to be a pure martial artist. Even though his conduct was extremely poor, he just refused to surrender to Houjin.

He has a very beautiful daughter, known as Sai Diaochan, who became Mao Wenlong's concubine.

Now that he has become the backstage, he is even more arrogant.

It is extremely extravagant to build official houses in Phi Island, breaking rocks and digging walls, building walls and building masonry. Generals followed suit one after another, and enslaved the soldiers under their command.

The soldiers had no rest and complained a lot.

In fact, the survival of Phi Island is extremely difficult, almost no grass grows, there is no place to cultivate, and it depends entirely on the transportation of food and salaries from the imperial court.

The waterway is thousands of miles away, once encountering strong winds and waves, how will the food and wages be delivered on time?

Relying on North Korea's aid, with the threat of Huang Taiji, North Korea did not dare to scale up, so the island fell into starvation for a long time.

In particular, there was a serious shortage of troops. In the third year of Chongzhen, there were more than 8000 people assigned. In order to strengthen the defense of Jizhen, 1 people were dispatched to follow Huanglong to beat Amin violently.

There were 8000 people left. Among them, they fled and scattered and rebelled. When Shen Shikui took over, there were less than 5000 people.

Shen Shikui reported to the court that there were 5000 people, and 1 people were paid for it.

The most serious thing is that just under Hou Jin's eyelids, there are still people who want to split.

The reason is that Shen Shikui was the instigator behind the mutiny in which Huanglong had his ears and nose cut off. He wanted the enraged soldiers to kill Huanglong, but was saved by Shang Kexi.

Now that he has become the general soldier of the Dongjiang River, it is gratifying to take care of him, and he is going to chop off his head, saying that he is collaborating with the enemy.

After Shang Kexi learned of the conspiracy, he couldn't help but sighed while supporting the boat gang. Since he tied up his hair and left, he has fought bloody battles at sea for more than ten years. His parents, brothers and wives died one after another.

I can't count how many times I have chased and rebelled for the court, but the dog official is jealous of the virtuous and capable, and retaliates, wanting to kill him.

Now that the power has returned to Shikui, it is easy to kill a battalion general.

But the big man will sweep the world away, and Anken will kill him with a seven-foot body?

Didn't you, Shen Shikui, finish talking about the secret fall after the gold?

Then I am happy to abandon this blood feud and show you one, when the time comes, I will lead the Tartars to kill Pidao and take off your head!

How dare you force me.

Everyone in Shang Kexi's family died at the hands of the Hou Jin Tartars, they had never thought of descending to the Jin Tartars before, and they were forced to rebel.

His father was really killed in the battle of Houjin, and he gradually grew into a brave general.

When he intercepted Kong Geng's rebels, he made great achievements. He never thought that a few months later, he would also embark on this road.

Shang Kexi was loyal to Daming, but Shen Shikui and others wanted to vent their personal anger and harm him, so he chose to surrender to Houjin without hesitation.

The main reason is that I heard that Kong Geng and the others received preferential treatment after they voted for Houjin, which is also very attractive to him.

There is no father here, there is a place to keep the father!
Shang Kexi and the others had never heard of the name Hammer Bandit, anyway, the most powerful force in this area is the Houjin Army, who else could surrender if they didn't surrender to Huang Taiji?

Therefore, Shang Kexi did not obey Shen Shikui's order, but secretly sent generals Lu Ke and Jin Yukui to Shenyang to request surrender.

Huang Taiji was very satisfied with Shang Kexi's return. On the way back from the Western Expedition, he thought about breaking through Pidao and then completely conquering North Korea.

This is a big step towards a more secure position!

The two messengers received a generous reward from Huang Taiji, asking him to bring his own reply and giving Shang Kexi Diao Qiu as a token, telling him not to hesitate any longer.

Daikin's iron rice bowl is waiting for you!
