Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 852: Opening the Way with Money, Daming Zhongxing (Two in One)

Li Guo complied naturally, saying things like Mr. Wang's benefits are indispensable.

Wang Chengyin waved his hand and told him to go back and get things ready, and he was preparing ten people according to this.

Li Guo nodded again and again, then he was quite embarrassed and said that they don't have this kind of wooden box anymore, and there is not much gold, can they use silver or jewelry instead.

Even if it was a gift for Mr. Wang, it took a long time to find a good-looking box.

Wang Chengyin nodded, this group of thieves had been doused in the heavy rain for so long, if they were soaked in the water, none of them would have good feet.

Send someone to a nearby county town to order a batch. Since you want to surrender, your sincerity must be satisfied.

If there is not enough sincerity, it will be difficult for our officers and soldiers to speak well of you in front of Governor Chen.

Only then did Li Guo go back with great gratitude and tell everyone the result, according to the current situation, there is a way.

At least Wang Chengyin accepted the money and was willing to do things.

Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others all started to spend money, and they ordered the gold and silver property seized in the army to be collected, and they had to overcome the current difficulties no matter what.

In the midst of continuous rain, Wang Chengyin's messenger was escorted by hammer bandits in Shanxi, and after crossing the Yellow River, he presented him with a war horse.

Therefore, it is much faster than when I went to Shanxi to report the letter. Of course, there is also a blessing of two taels of gold.

When he returned to Wang Chengyin's side, he not only repeated what Zhang Fuzhen had said to him, but also brought a letter from He Jinzhao.

After Wang Chengyin opened it, there were only four words.

Help if you can.

"Hahaha."

Wang Chengyin immediately threw the letter into the brazier and patted him on the shoulder: "This time the hard work was not in vain."

"No."

After the confidant finishes speaking, he will dig for gold.

Wang Chengyin hastily held him down: "Marshal He rewarded you, so you should keep it well, and your benefits will be indispensable in the future."

"Thank you, sir."

But Wang Chengyin received a small box of gold, or fixed money, how could he take the gold from his subordinates without any promise?
In short, no one suffered a loss this time.

The most important thing is that Wang Chengyin feels that He Jinzhao has opened his mouth and he will do things according to his orders, so he will have to accept his favor in the future.

In any case, I will not suffer, so I sent someone to tell Li Guo to prepare all the money.

He is ready to take this job as a lobbyist.

Gao Yingxiang and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they received Wang Chengyin's definite answer.

They were trapped in this canyon, and those gold, silver and jewels could not satisfy their hunger, nor could they make a fire, nor could they even buy food.

Tens of thousands of people are almost desperate.In order to get rid of this difficult situation, why not spend it directly, maybe you can buy a life!
As long as he is alive, the gold and silver treasures spent in the future can be returned.

Otherwise, when I and my subordinates are all trapped to death in this carriage gorge, all the gold, silver and treasures will become the official army's.

Although there is no difference in the result, there is a difference in behavior.

Spend the money, and you can win a way out, because they have long since had no other options.

The last time they made a false surrender, they smuggled across the Yellow River and carried out a thousand-mile leap forward.

This time the false surrender was also to prevent all the vitality of the rebellion from being damaged here.

Li Guo brought boxes of gold, silver and jewels into Chen Qiyu's camp, and bribed them all over.

The arrogance on the face of Chen Qiyu, governor of the five provinces, was obvious, and he was humming a tune every day these days.

Most of the rogues in the cholera world will be wiped out by him.

In the past two years, he fought for the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou. Although he also made a lot of military exploits, Hong Chengchou was the most responsible.

Now that he is in charge of the five provinces, he can do this within a few months, which is simply unprecedented.

Who doesn't want to be in the cabinet?
Besides, we still have military merits, and the gold content is higher.

The opinions of the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level are not important, and the leaders of the officers and soldiers who have received money are naturally smiling.

If this wave of thieves were eliminated, they would have to fight the hammer bandits.

Yansui Commander Wang Chengyin has released the news that the hammer bandit He Jinzhao seems to be going back to his hometown.

Especially in the recent battle with the Houjin Tartar Emperor Taiji, Huang Taiji was defeated and returned.

To be honest, they really don't want to face the hammer bandits!
He Jinchao defeated the big and small Cao last year, and these people had no idea of ​​going back to fight against the hammer bandits.

They learned from Wang Chengyin's mouth that Huang Taiji, who had been beaten by the hammer bandits, had withdrawn from Shanxi in embarrassment, so they couldn't think of anything to kill this gang of thieves.

Don't say that our officers and soldiers are greedy for life and fear of death, and greedy for money.

The imperial court does not pay us, so we can only earn money by ourselves.

If this wave of thieves are all wiped out by them, will they have to fight even more powerful hammer bandits in the future?
We are really not good at fighting tough battles!

Hammer bandits have a vicious reputation, which has been proved by their achievements long ago, and no one wants to touch them.

Instead of going to fight the hammer bandits, why not fight these easy-to-hit bandits first, so that your life and money will last forever.

A tacit understanding had been formed between the Henan officials and the rogues before!

The officers and soldiers pursued, and the rogues threw some belongings behind them. The officers and soldiers stopped chasing, and the rogues ran away again.

From top to bottom, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were unwilling that this business would not last long.

After Chen Qiyu arrived at Chexiang Gorge, the left and right aides who got money, Wang Chengyin and other officers and soldiers came to persuade him.

This group of thieves are willing to surrender and dismiss, and they are desperate. Why don't you give them a chance, I believe His Majesty is not willing to let his people suffer heavy casualties.

Among them, the elite old thieves naturally couldn't let go, captured their family members, and forced them to enter Shanxi to fight with He Jinzhao.

Opening the way for the officers and soldiers and consuming the strength of the hammer bandits is always many times better than fighting with our own people.

In addition, the hammer bandits have started to attack Shaanxi, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, may not be able to support them alone. We have to rush to support, so we don't have time to spend here.

Chen Qiyu was also persuaded by left and right, in short, all kinds of reasons are very good.

It can be said that money cleared the way in the late Ming Dynasty, and it worked most of the time.

If Chongzhen had handed out the money to each officer and army himself, presumably the situation in Daming would not have been so corrupt at all.

Money can sometimes solve many problems.

Chen Qiyu's heart was also moved. He thought that the bandits could do great things if they had nowhere to go. After the bandits were captured, they could send their troops northward to kill the hammer bandits.

With such meritorious deeds, Hong Chengchou will be directly overwhelmed, and he will definitely be able to enter the cabinet earlier than him.

Chen Qiyu decided to appease these thieves and lead the way for him.

But only Fu Yongchun, the imperial censor of Shaanxi Province, advocated taking advantage of the enemy's danger and annihilating them in one fell swoop.

Chen Qiyu disagreed.

At this time, he was surrounded by people who had collected money, praised him, and spoke well, and they looked so high-spirited that they couldn't listen to the words that gave him advice.

Fu Yongchun still bit the bullet and said to Chen Qiyu:

"Governor, the crossbow arrows are loose, the swords are rusted, the horseshoes are pierced, and the armor is damaged. Today is the day!"

Chen Qiyu disagreed.

Fu Yongchun stepped forward and eagerly held Chen Qiyu's hand: "Governor, it's the right time to kill this thief."

Chen Qiyu withdrew his grasped hand, and said confidently:

"When the Tianqing thieves come out of the plank road, I will kill them."

In this kind of weather, won't the bows and arrows of the officers and soldiers loose?
"They are desperate. If I appease them, wouldn't I be able to make a full contribution without firing an arrow?"

But Fu Yongchun refused to give up: "Governor, there are hundreds of thousands of thieves, even if we appease them, how will we deal with them?

Besides, they have never had a big creation, how can we believe that they have changed their minds?

I'm afraid Tianqing and the others will directly rebel when they leave the plank road, and they will regret it later. "

People who were close to him began to say that Fu Yongchun was exaggerating, and Wang Chengyin, the general soldier of Yansui, could pat his chest for assurance.

There are definitely not one hundred thousand officers and soldiers in the carriage gorge, even if they are discounted in half, it may not be enough.

Chen Qiyu nodded again and again, and he had already decided in his heart to appease him. Before he won such a great achievement, he could not listen to any advice.

In the end, Fu Yongchun, the censor of Shaanxi patrol, repeatedly enlightened him. Seeing that Chen Qiyu didn't listen to his words, he began to cry bitterly, begging him to send troops to wipe out the bandits.

Chen Qiyu ignored it and wrote a good news to the emperor.

For such a big matter, no matter what, you have to ask the emperor for instructions. If your majesty refuses to appease, then let's talk about not agreeing.

In short, the heavy rain has not stopped now, why not pour water on those thieves again, and when there are more people dead, they will have no intention of resisting.

After all, Chongzhen had previously asked the cabinet ministers to draft a document and send it to Chen Qiyu for consideration.

He passed on Du Yushi's proposal of "separately suppressing bandits" to Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces who had just taken office, in the form of an edict.

In this way, it implies that when he suppresses, he suppresses, and when he caresses, he caresses.

Chen Qiyu took it lightly, thinking that he was done.

Li Zicheng and others in the carriage gorge planned carefully. They sent gold and silver treasures from the siege to Chen Qiyu's barracks in a steady stream.

His staff were fascinated by gold, silver and jewelry, so they didn't want to fight.

How can money be made so quickly in war?
We followed the governor from birth to death, suppressing bandits and suppressing rebellion, for what purpose?
In addition to official positions, it is not money!

Only if you have enough money saved, you can spend more money to manage it when you return to the capital in the future, so that you can better occupy a high position.

If you don't want to spend money to get a good official position for things like running away, those people in the capital have plenty of ways to send you to Liaodong, Shanshan and Shanxi.

I don't want to sleep thinking about my own future. Even if I don't want to be an official, we can still have money to repair the garden and take care of ourselves when we return home.

Therefore, the money of Li Zicheng and others was really not wasted. These people have been brainwashing Chen Qiyu from morning to night, talking about recruiting.

After all, Chen Qiyu also liked the scene where the masts and sculls were wiped out while talking and laughing.

Chen Qiyu, governor of the five provinces, finally made up his mind and asked the court for instructions on the decision to recruit.

Chongzhen was very satisfied with the good news sent by Chen Qiyu earlier, and now he learned that he trapped most of the thieves in the carriage gorge.

The lives of tens of thousands of people are at the thought of His Majesty.

Chongzhen's previous attitude also influenced Chen Qiyu to take advantage of the slope to get off the donkey to appease the bandits instead of killing them.

In fact, for Daming at present, appeasement is not the best policy but the worst policy.

Some cabinet ministers put forward a suggestion to the emperor, that is, to appease the future placement is a big problem for the court.

We must pay for repatriation and give them a way to make a living.

If it is just to disband on the spot with a vote to avoid death, it is bound to regroup again due to lack of livelihood.

This is based on the feasibility of recruiting, and it is also based on previous failed recruiting experience.

From a tactical point of view, the previous practice of appeasement has repeatedly shown that there are many false surrenders, and these rebels are mostly a strategy to get out of the predicament.

However, Chongzhen and more ministers lacked a thorough introspection, or the court's indecision in making decisions about suppression and appeasement was the key factor.

When the emperor couldn't insist on his own consistent ideas and hesitated a lot, Wen Tiren, who was the chief assistant of the cabinet, would naturally follow the emperor's wishes.

Whatever His Majesty says is what he says, and our old Wen has already become His Majesty's shape.

When Chongzhen asked Zhang Fengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, how he viewed this matter.

As Chen Qiyu's in-laws, he naturally supported Chen Qiyu's proposition, not to mention if His Majesty allowed them to be recruited, then he would recruit them.

Even if they are not allowed to go back to their hometown, let them go and kill each other with the hammer bandits.

Chen Qiyu asked the court for instructions on the decision to recruit, and Zhang Fengyi, who was in charge of military affairs, agreed.

Chongzhen, who had the highest decision-making power in Ming Dynasty, agreed to this strategy after analyzing it.

However, Chen Qiyu's move to recruit security aroused strong dissatisfaction with Zhu Changhao (the fifth son of Shenzong), the king of Rui who was in Hanzhong.

He began to report to his nephew Chongzhen, expressing his inner unease.

Since the seventh year of the apocalypse, he was in Hanzhong, and there was a disaster of bandits in the following year. Lai Wenchen, a military general, slowly calmed down.

Unexpectedly, Jin thieves crossed the river, flowed into Henan and Huguang, and fled into Hanzhong and Xing'an. After that, the thieves from Chuanzhong re-entered Qinchuan, and the thieves from Huguang re-entered Hanzhong.

In June, he entered Xixiang from Xing'an and violated the Hanzhong border.

Fortunately, the guerrilla Tang Tong and Zhang Sui set up an ambush so that the bandits did not dare to cross the river and approached Seoul in the north.

From now on, the thieves from Yang County in the southeast, the governor Chen Qiyu, discussed how to recruit, and the thieves from Feng County occupied the valley in the north, and there were commotions in Mian County, Ningqiang, and Lueyang in the west.

The minister is in extreme loneliness and danger, and he doesn't know where he will end up.

After Chongzhen took his uncle's memorabilia, he read it from beginning to end, wrote a reading, and he put it aside.

Compared with his clan, he was more willing to trust Chen Qiyu, and ignored what his uncle said about the seriousness of the situation in Hanzhong.

This gang of thieves will be completely wiped out, so what's so great about it?
What's more, using this group of bandits to enter Shanxi and kill each other with the hammer bandits will surely achieve good results.

As for my uncle's misfortune, it's just that he saw the appearance of Shanxi King Jin, King Lu and others, and wanted the army to protect him!

I still can't figure out your thoughts?
The army of the imperial court is used to wipe out bandits and pacify the Tartars, not the guards of you feudal lords!

Besides, the vassal king needs so many army guards, does he have any thoughts about what he shouldn't have?
When the whole army besieged Shanxi and killed the hammer bandit He Jinchao, he would surely avenge King Jin and King Lu.

You, King Rui, are living in Hanzhong far away, so what danger can you have?
Chongzhen directly wrote the memorial to King Rui of Hanzhong, which he could not read back, and issued a document, urging Chen Qiyu to deal with those bandits who recruited security as soon as possible.

The hammer bandit He Jinzhao fought a bloody battle with Hou Jin Tartar, and his vitality was seriously injured, just in time to take advantage of his illness to kill him!
The suppression of the bandits went so smoothly, God really helped me, why would Daming not be rejuvenated?
Chongzhen was in a good mood, and after processing the memorial today, he went straight back to the harem to enjoy it.

　Thank you for the sponsorship of 100 taels of silver for saying important things about Shuhuangshuhuangshuhuang three times.
