Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 884 To Save People (Two in One)

Chen Chong.

He Jinzhao thought about it for a while, and hadn't contacted him for several years.

In other words, when Hong Chengchou became the governor of the three sides, the business route between him and Chen Chong was cut off.

Under Hong Chengchou's threat, it would be a high honor for Chen Chong to save his life.

Once some people do not contact for a long time, the relationship will fade a lot.

"Ask him to come in, he is indeed an old acquaintance."

He Jinzhao replied.

Only then did Niu Youcai send someone out to call for someone.

He had just heard the report from his subordinates, saying that it was Chen Chong who handed them money to ask to see the commander-in-chief.

Niu Youcai is not used to this stinking problem.

The more you send money, the more things you will be given behind, and the people under you are also warned not to reach out at will.

If the law is broken, it will not make you feel good.

Which of the personal guards next to the commander-in-chief is not a person with clean hands and feet!

If coveting this little money ruined his bright future, then he must be out of his mind.

So Niu Youcai had a very bad impression of Chen Chong, and told He Jinzhao about Chen Chong's bribery.

Chen Chong really didn't dare to stay cool.

He was under the sun, looking at the camp, waiting for He Jinzhao to receive him.

This moment, that moment.

Back then, Chen Chong wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot, and he didn't pay attention to the Daming government at all. He snatched away as much money and antiques as possible from He Jinzhao before the government army attacked the city.

Sell ​​the materials to He Jinzhao at a profit several times higher than the market price.

In the matter of not paying attention to the Ming government, they facilitated cooperation.

Both sides are for their own interests, as for Daming's interests, no one cares.

With Hong Chengchou coming to power, the Chen family's business in the three sides was quickly hit.

But the little postman in the past has developed better and better, and now he is coming to counterattack Shaanxi, and maybe he will go to Ningxia soon.

Chen Chong wiped the hot sweat off his face, and couldn't stop sighing in his heart.

No matter who succeeds, the old rules of the nine-rank official at the gate of the prime minister are all preserved.

Chen Chong had just stuffed money into a few hammer bandit guards with no fuss, but they all threw them on the ground and began to push people away.

He guessed in his heart that He Jinzhao's personal guards could not be settled with ten taels of silver.

Just when Chen Chong was upset, he heard someone calling him to see Marshal He.

Only then did Chen Chong enter the barracks, and was led inside.

The barracks were arranged in an orderly manner, and looked more professional than those of the official army.

Especially looking at it like this, they want to confront each other outside Xi'an for a long time, and they will not stop until Xi'an is breached.

There are several pieces of ice in He Jinzhao's tent.

After Chen Chong went in, he watched He Jinzhao work there.

I haven't seen him for a few years, but he is still dressed in a short shirt, looking like a poor family who can't afford clothes.

Taking up all of Shanxi Province, he was so frugal, it really made Chen Chong speechless.

He Jinchao was wearing a large vest and shorts made of Lu silk, and slippers on his feet.

He feels comfortable wearing it like this in summer.

"I've seen Marshal He." Chen Chong took the lead in saluting.

"Hahaha."

He Jinzhao laughed a few times before standing up:

"Brother Chen, I haven't heard from you in the past three or four years. I thought you didn't want to have too much contact with the Daming rebels, so I took the initiative to break contact."

Chen Chong sighed and explained that Hong Chengchou was acting as a hindrance, their Chen family was in Ningxia, and they had been honest and honest in the past few years, and they didn't dare to do anything beyond the rules, for fear of being caught and killed.

Hong Chengchou was ruthless, so he could do such a thing.

He Jinzhao asked Chen Chong to sit down: "In my opinion, Hong Chengchou probably has no chance to return to Shaanxi."

Chen Chong groaned in his heart, feeling that He Jinzhao was exaggerating himself a bit.

The court has never made up its mind to attack Shanxi with all its strength. It can be said that He Jinzhao has other rebels to attract firepower for him in recent years.

Once the imperial court made a large-scale expedition to Shanxi, Chen Chong didn't think that He Jinzhao would be able to defend Shanxi.

In the end, he can only end up with the other thieves, from being a bandit to a bandit!
But Chen Chong smiled and said:

"In that case, I would like to congratulate Commander He, the Northwest Hammer Bandit's title is truly well-deserved!"

He Jinzhao waved his hand: "I don't know, Big Brother Chen, he came to look for me this time, but is there something wrong?"

Chen Chong talked about the Ningxia Mutiny, and Ding Qirui's plan to ask them to raise food and wages to jointly resist the hammer bandits.

He Jinzhao thought for a while, this fact is too normal.

It would be abnormal if the hammer bandits were welcomed by the people wholeheartedly wherever they went.

Especially a group of people who claim to be loyal ministers of Ming Dynasty, although they usually do the work of overthrowing Ming Dynasty.

But when the critical moment came, they used loyal ministers to flaunt themselves, and then suppressed the forces that were not conducive to the rule of Ming Dynasty.

"I know about this, thank you Brother Chen for letting me know in advance."

Chen Chong thought for a while, and then said, "Marshal He, my Chen family intends to join the Hammer Bandits."

He Jinzhao straightened up and leaned back slightly: "Take refuge with me?"

"Correct."

"It's a little difficult."

"Marshal He, what does this mean?"

"You don't know the policies of the hammer bandits, do you?"

"Could it be possible to rob big households like other rogues and distribute them to others?"

"Yes and no."

He Jinzhao asked Ji Gui to come over and give Chen Chong a briefing on our policy of hammering bandits.

People around the city of Xi'an have already stationed many capable members of the farmer's association, as well as a propaganda team, who have been promoting.

If you still have doubts, each village can draw lots to select a few representatives of the people, cross the Yellow River, and go to Shanxi to see how the local people live.

This kind of thing can't usually deceive people.

After He Jinchao besieged the city of Xi'an, he began to release the surrounding Shaanxi labor force and held a meeting to complain.

Let them have work again, have land to cultivate, free them from slavery, register and register them, organize the people to repair water conservancy, and let everything go on the right track.

As for the rest of the landlords and gentry who wanted to hide and wait for reinforcements, He Jinzhao was in no hurry to kill them.

They didn't dare to run out easily, and sent a few artillery squads to knock them one by one like sand jars, which was enough to wipe out many people.

After Chen Chong understood, he became hesitant.

First of all, Ningxia also has fertile land. Over the years, the Chen family has stolen it, even given it to them by the Ming emperor, and the hammer bandits deny it all.

The benefits given to you by the previous dynasty have nothing to do with me, the hammer bandit?

If you can keep some family wealth, don't even think about the rest.

Almost all the big clans and powers have to separate.

This is easy to say, except for the direct descendants of the big families in the north, the rest are also poor.

This is the case for the relatives of the vassal king, and the gentry below are naturally learning in a decent way.

There is no problem with the designation of family separation and the like.

But to share the land and houses, Chen Chong himself can't make the decision.

"Marshal He acts like this, and it is easy for many gentry to want to kill him."

In the end, Chen Chong only said this sentence.

Ji Gui smiled, and fanned the cattail fan:

"Brother Chen, what do you think of Shanxi's gentry resisting?"

"It's nothing more than gathering troops to defend ourselves. This is not conducive to the rule of Marshal He. Besides, Marshal He and I are old acquaintances."

Chen Chong also wanted to fight for his own interests.

After all, why give up all the wealth that has been passed down for hundreds of years!

Chen Chong continued to persuade: "The hammer bandit is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. He acts on behalf of the heavens. He shouldn't plunder other people's wealth like this. How is it different from other bandits?"

Ji Gui stopped his words: "What did you call us just now?"

"Hammer~bandit?" Chen Chong raised his mouth.

"Yes!"

Ji Gui fanned her fan, but her tone changed:
"You have to listen to my lord's reasoning and rules.

A bunch of local tyrants and evil gentry talk about being a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, I don't need you to brag about this reputation.

Those who are obedient can live, and those who are disobedient are dead.

But don't forget, Lao Tzu is a bandit, a bandit who hammers a bandit! "

Chen Chong froze in place for a moment.

Big fist is the last word.

Chen Chong understood this truth a long time ago.

Otherwise, the Chen family has always been domineering, and it is impossible for Hong Chengchou to restrain himself after he was promoted to the governor of the three sides.

It's nothing more than Hong Chengchou's hard fist!
Now it's changed to the fist of the hammer bandit.

The principles are universal.

Ji Gui fanned his cattail fan and looked at the relationship-seeking person in front of him. Didn't he also want to make a lot of money from his lord at the beginning.

In fact he did.

Our business is mutually beneficial.

Now you want to date and get privileges, it is simply impossible!

You are the honorable man of Ming Dynasty, not the honorable man of my Hammer Bandit. Even if it is a privilege, it is not your turn to set this precedent, as a person on the old ship.

Chen Chong left directly with the hammer bandit's brochure.

He is not alone in this matter.

But when he looked at the barracks of the hammer bandits and the Ming army in Xi'an city, he knew that, if nothing else happened, the city of Xi'an would be conquered by He Jinchao sooner or later.

In this way, the hammer bandits achieved the achievement of taking the three kings lightly.

How to choose, he has no answer in his heart.

He Jinzhao naturally didn't get up to see them off, some people always take chances and feel that they are the most special one.

But when you hit it with an iron fist, you will know what the real truth is!
Chen Chong was on his way back. Whether he resisted to the end or resigned himself to begging for surrender, the initiative was in his own hands, which also represented his own result.

He Jinzhao read the military newspaper, Cao Bianjiao hadn't attacked Ningxia yet, he had to settle the territory of Qingyang Mansion first.

Days go by like this.

Apart from the occasional letter He Jinzhao received about the situation of the Qing army near the capital, the thing that impressed him the most was that there were many heads hanging outside Chang'an City.

It is said that they want to respond to the hammer bandit's internal response!
He Jinzhao observed through binoculars, old and young, and guessed that they were people who could not survive. They wanted to revolt, but they were suppressed by the government and army.

This situation will intensify the contradictions in the city.

The daily cannon fire of the Hammer bandits gave confidence to those who wanted to rebel in the city. Maybe it won't be long before more people want to surrender, leaving only a very small number of people to resist to the end.

"Lord."

Tang Tong sent another update.

He Jinzhao looked at Ji Gui's expression rather unkindly, and asked, "What happened?"

"Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang was captured by Lu Xiangsheng?"

He Jinzhao:? ? ?

Isn't Sun Chuanting working under his own hands?
Da Sanguan was also controlled by himself.

Gao Yingxiang had no chance to take the Meridian Road and be captured.

"what happened?"

He Jinzhao took the letter and quickly scanned it.

Probably after all his elites were lost, some people secretly took refuge in the army, wanting to claim wealth.

He betrayed his position to Lu Xiangsheng, and was lured into the encirclement of the officers and soldiers, so there was no way he could break out.

This was captured.

Chongzhen asked the officers and soldiers to escort him to Beijing along the way, which is probably the end of Beijing Roast Duck.

Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng have always wanted to overthrow Daming, which is no different from He Jinzhao.

They are all staunch anti-thief leaders.

"I have always wanted to kill some traitors who betrayed the rebel army." He Jinzhao put down the letter in his hand:
"At the beginning, my boss didn't touch the mud, surrendered and rebelled, and was slaughtered by the army.

The person who killed Wang Jiayin has been serving Hong Chengchou all the time, so I have no way of doing it.

As for the leader who betrayed Mr. Gao this time, I can't even reach out. "

He Jinzhao took two steps and said, "I have to find a way to save him."

"Save him?" Yang Wenyue at the side asked rather puzzled:
"The lord means to make actions and slogans to rescue King Gao Chuang, or to really save him."

"Is there a difference?"

Hearing He Jinzhao's question, Yang Wenyue was very puzzled: "This is a big difference."

He further explained: "If the lord uses the banner of rescuing King Gao Chuang, it will definitely arouse the hatred of Ming Dynasty. After the Qing army withdraws from the capital, Chongzhen will send people to attack the lord.

Of course, the advantage is that it can call on more rebels to agree with the commander in chief!
But the commander-in-chief is very strict in selecting soldiers. Even if they agree with the lord, if the lord recruits them in the future, it is estimated that it will not be peaceful, and he may use a knife if he is not sure.

So I think it is really unwise for the protagonist to use the banner of rescuing King Gao Chuang! "

Seeing that He Jinzhao was lost in thought, Yang Wenyue went on to explain another point of view:
"If the lord has gone through all kinds of hardships and really rescued Gao Yingxiang, how can he deal with himself?

He was not an ordinary leader, and he must have had expectations of the chair in the Forbidden City, but in the end he could only sit alone.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with the king is mostly a story in a short story book, it is simply impossible to realize!

If the lord takes him by his side, he will inevitably become a tiger. In the future, he will have to do it himself and kill him! "

Yang Wenyue's words imply that he will not save them.

This man is big trouble.

Could it be that Gao Yingxiang also recognized He Jinzhao as the master? Yang Wenyue thought it was impossible after thinking about it.

People like them are unwilling to submit to others.

"My lord, it is not good for us that King Gao Chuang was captured by the government army."

Ji Gui also stood up and told his reasons: "Although my hammer bandit soldiers are powerful, I have always maintained the line of elite soldiers and have not expanded wantonly."

"In the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, in some places, the rest of the thieves had to go there to let the local people know that I, the Hammer Bandit, is a teacher of justice.

Once Gao Yingxiang is killed, it will deal a great blow to the rest of the rebel army. Many of them will be appeased by the officers and soldiers, which is not good for us. "

"My lord has been implementing a steady and steady strategy. If you suddenly change course, it is extremely inappropriate?"

Yang Wenyue only felt that for the interests of the hammer bandits, the lord should not have rescued Gao Yingxiang:
"Without Gao Yingxiang, there are still Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui and others who are disrupting all parts of the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains. Without Gao Yingxiang, would the hammer bandits have no allies?"
