Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 937 Encouraging and using (two in one)

Yang Sichang is still having a headache how to persuade Chongzhen not to do this.

Although Ten Zhang Wang did not work within three months, his power has also been revealed as time went on.

"Ten years of unsolved situation" seems to see hope.

Good news has already come from Henan.

Liu Guoneng was the first to surrender to Xiong Wencan in Huguang, and only 5000 of his subordinates followed him to surrender.

Most of them left or were dismissed and returned to Lao Huihui and Ge Liyan He Yilong.

After he surrendered to the imperial court, he was willing to be a dog and turned around to suppress the rebel army.

Zhang Xianzhong wanted to outwit Henan, so he pretended to be an official army and stationed outside Nanyang City.

Zuo Liangyu is already a warlord, but she didn't come to visit the pier when she appeared on Lao Tzu's territory, which bloody army do you belong to?

Zhang Xianzhong felt that he was facing the attack of the imperial army in front, and there was no one to support him.

An arrow hit him between the eyebrows, and another arrow pierced Zhang Xianzhong's finger that was drawing the bow to fight back.

Zhang Xianzhong hesitated and fled again.

Coupled with the relationship with Wu Sangui's fellow Qiyi, it can be said to be a veteran.

In addition, the original rebels Gao Jie and Liu Guoneng both made great contributions to dealing with the rebels of the imperial court.

The frugal Chongzhen was persuaded.

As a result, Xiong Wencan sent people to attack him again, and Zuo Liangyu chased him to Huguang territory as a deterrent, so Xiong Wencan sent people to persuade him to surrender.

Of course, the counselor didn't tell him that since ancient times, the emperors have been very "like the son of heaven".

But when Liu Yuanbin returned with the imperial decree, he reached an agreement with Xiong Wencan, which was to appease him boldly.

Only then did Chongzhen accept his violent temper and agreed.

After all, Fu Zonglong's letter of appeal for help and the rumors that He Jinzhao broke Sichuan came in successively.

Especially when he heard Jin Yiwei coming, Fu Zonglong avoided the battle, and He Jinchao had already occupied the entire Chengdu mansion and captured the King of Shu.

When Zhang Xianzhong held the surrender ceremony in Gucheng, Xiong Wencan sent Zhang Dajing, the supervisor of the army, to accept the surrender on his behalf.

Yang Sichang didn't express his position directly, but just refused.

How can Xiong Wencan not be excited with such jewels in front of him?
As long as the most powerful one is appeased, how can the rest of the rebels not surrender?

If our army has not been defeated, we cannot recruit (He Jinchao). Please issue an imperial edict to appease Zhang Xianzhong and let him fight He Jinchao.

At that time, He Jinchao will have no allies, and Zhang Xianzhong is jealous of He Jinchao, so he will definitely serve the court.

"Then you mean to agree to appease Zhang Xianzhong and transfer Hong Chengchou to Sichuan to encircle and suppress He Jinchao?"

In other words, it is advocated to secretly kill Zhang Xianzhong and other thieves under the guise of appeasement.

When the time comes, the imperial army will enter Sichuan, and then they will block He Jinchao to death.

As for Governor Hong Chengchou who wanted to kill people, he was completely ignored, and was directly sent to Sichuan by Liu Yuanbin's imperial decree.

Fu Zonglong handed over the whole of Sichuan just to avoid rumors such as being killed by He Jinzhao.

On the contrary, He Jinzhao's place is safe and sound, but the territory is getting bigger and bigger, which makes Zhang Xianzhong feel extremely unbalanced.

But the older you get, the weaker your strength is. Don't look at the name of the chief soldier, but you are not happy at all.

However, Xiong Wencan regarded Zhang Xianzhong as Liu Guoneng's number two, and as long as he was recruited successfully, he would be able to step down as prime minister and return directly to Guangdong to retire.

Using Zhang Xianzhong to deceive Congratulations to Jinchao, the two sides clashed, and the imperial army reaped the benefits.
The key is that the imperial court can accomplish great things without paying a penny.

After digging the imperial tomb, he robbed Li Zicheng of the emperor's guard of honor and the "royal band" and claimed to be the emperor.

When Yang Sichang replied to Liu Guoneng's surrender at the front, he told Xiong Wencan a principle.

When the time comes, they will all be driven to Sichuan to fight He Jinchao to death, so they will take credit for this.

He likes Yang Sichang who can give solutions to everything, instead of Wen Tiren's majesty who decides everything by himself.

Don't let Prime Minister Xiong Wencan decide for himself.

"If he came to surrender, he would blindly suppress and kill him. From now on, wouldn't it make people in the world think that what I said was farting?"

He is no longer the little villain he used to be, and he has started to develop in the direction of setting the world.

Fortunately, there was a wall where Sun Kewang helped and resisted fiercely, so Zhang Xianzhong was able to escape.

Hong Chengchou ordered the pursuit.

But he still wrote in the imperial decree to suppress and appease.

Therefore, Yang Sichang tried his best to explain that it must be the hammer bandit He Jinchao who sent people to spread it, just to confuse the emperor.

Chongzhen has handled the government affairs for so many years, so he can understand the meaning of the minister's words.

Now that people take the initiative to send it to your door, is there any reason to disagree?
The one who broke through the sky surrendered one step earlier, and was willing to lead his troops to join the army to atone for his sins, which made Xiong Wencan feel that Zhang Xianzhong was real.

Li Zicheng carried the banner of King Chuang and was directly defeated, and he himself suffered such serious injuries.

Zhang Xianzhong thought so.

For this reason, he found Chen Hongfan, a veteran general with a long history.

And the supervisor Shao Jiechun, what does he eat?
Fortunately, I was extremely reassured about him, but didn't that little postman He Jinchao take advantage of his loopholes?
However, Yang Sichang didn't pay attention to such rumors. It could only mean that Fu Zonglong made it impossible for He Jinzhao to speak, so he chose to travel thousands of miles to spread rumors near the capital.

That's why he wanted to let Hong Chengchou take full power to handle the matter. If Hong Chengchou could handle the matter, he would naturally bear the infamy.

Even if he became the emperor, he might not be able to rule the world.

The Eight Great Kings are the ones who are most capable of being emperors.

Just when Chongzhen was very annoyed by He Jinzhao's entry into Sichuan, he also received a letter from Xiong Wencan, the premier of the five provinces.

Appointed not to appease!

Even if it's not true, Fu Zonglong's avoidance of the battle cannot be escaped.

But with the return of the eunuch Liu Yuanbin in front, he tried his best to persuade Zhang Xianzhong and the like, and the benefits were great.

Since becoming prime minister, he has tried to appease him, just like Zheng Zhilong.

Yang Sichang knew that when the rebels were unfavorable, they often used surrender in the name of surrender, and rarely had sincerity, but they could not resist the holy will.

That is, Liu Guoneng can fight against Bai Guangen, Zhang Miaoshou and the like, from officials to generals and governors.

"Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou has a better understanding of the situation in front of the battle, and although Xiong Wencan has some skills, his talent is not as good as Hong Chengchou."

Besides He Jinzhao, who would spread rumors about Fu Zonglong in idleness?

No matter what you say, Zhang Xianzhong and his like are taking your words as fart.

Willing to lead his subordinates to serve the prime minister in the army.

If there is any problem, His Majesty will be our backer.

After dealing with the little thief Zhang Xianzhong, the big thief He Jinzhao is about to occupy Sichuan.

Now that He Jinchao is invading Sichuan, the officials of the court are only willing to go to Sichuan to become high officials unless they have brains.

Xiong Wencan himself has no combat skills, and was completely put on the head by the eunuchs sent by Chongzhen.

He found that there were not many allies around him, and he could no longer conduct large-scale battles in a short period of time.

Chen Hongfan was naturally overjoyed, thinking that he had been fighting for many years and participated in many battles in the late Ming Dynasty, such as the battle of entering the dynasty, the battle of Sarhu, the defense of the capital, the suppression of the Wuqiao mutiny and so on.

Smuggling across the Yellow River in the previous winter, coupled with Chen Qiyu's consolation, which time did they talk about their credibility.

Zhang Xianzhong sent someone to bring Zhenbao and beautiful women to see Chen Hongfan, saying that he would like to follow the general in the future because he has not repaid his kindness.

Next, only when He Jinchao was seriously injured by the imperial army, the Eight Great Kings could truly rule the world at that time.

But the current situation forced him to abandon one of the main murderers who dug his ancestral grave.

Hong Chengchou was extremely annoyed by this matter, and wrote a letter again, hoping that the emperor would allow him to act on his own initiative.

Zhang Xianzhong was seriously injured, so he joined Lao Huihui, Ge Liyan and others with [-] troops and transferred to Huguang and other places.

Although the second feeling is more refreshing, but someone has to come up with an idea, right?

What does Hong Chengchou have full power to do with this matter?
Why not let him kill Zhang Xianzhong and others.

But he also wanted to make a great achievement, and when he heard that Zhang Xianzhong took the initiative to vote, he was naturally overjoyed and stepped forward to mediate with Xiong Wencan.

So he played again: "Your Majesty, let Governor Hong Chengchou have full power to handle this matter. After all, the war opportunity ahead is imminent."

Xiong Wencan believes that the current situation is that the thieves are weak and our army has won consecutive victories, so we can recruit (Zhang Xianzhong).

Otherwise, the news would not have spread to Shanxi quickly, and He Jinzhao must have made decisive progress, which is why he made a big splash.

Chongzhen subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and retorted:

Zhang Xianzhong was afraid of being exposed, so he didn't dare to meet him, so he broke out of the camp and left, but was caught up by Zuo Liangyu's troops.

For future plans, why not surrender?

Didn't the previous Wang Er, Wang Jiayin, Zijinliang, Gao Yingchun, Li Zicheng and others suffered a great loss from the court!

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with the emperor!
As for the credibility with the rebels, they have no credibility at all.

A large number of proclamations were issued before, just to appease.

Chongzhen waved his hand and told Yang Sichang to go down, he had to think about it.

Xiong Wencan is even happier, not only can he get the job done, but he can continue to make such progress in the future.

Yang Sichang cupped his hands again and said, "I personally think that Hong Chengchou should handle this matter."

This person is the only second general under Xiong Wencan's command, but his strength is not comparable to Zuo Liangyu's at all. He only has two thousand troops in his hands, not all of them are elite.

However, Chongzhen was deeply tempted by the eunuch's words that he could win a big victory without increasing troops and pay, and once again criticized Yang Sichang face to face:
"How can he come to surrender and just say that he just blindly suppressed and killed, and don't mention this matter again?
And make good preparations to enter Sichuan to encircle and suppress the hammer bandit He Jinzhao, and try to destroy him once! "

He had no choice but to ask Zhang Xianzhong to suppress and kill other groups of peasant troops first, and then he can recruit security, otherwise he should take the opportunity to suppress them severely.

Only in this way can thief He stay away from his old territory in Shanshan for a long time.

Is it true that Fu Zonglong has nothing to do when He Jinchao is killing all directions in Sichuan?
Yang Sichang had to agree with Chongzhen first, and then explained that Fu Zonglong was deliberately showing weakness in order to trap He Jinzhao in Sichuan.

Hearing that He Jinzhao is going to fight in Sichuan, the imperial court just wants to put down Huguang and enter Sichuan to encircle and suppress.

Of course, what the emperor said is a promise, how can he change it after saying it?

Yang Sichang swallowed, and held back his words.

As for the imperial court ordering us to suppress other insurgents, that is to listen to the instructions and not to listen to the announcement.

According to the old calendar of officialdom, no one is willing to be an official in Shanshan and Shanxi.

Zhang Xianzhong was not sincere about surrendering, and unlike Liu Guoneng's real surrender, he believed in his strength and refused to surrender his military power.

Use this as a test, otherwise they will be encircled and suppressed without appeasement.

Hong Chengchou has rich experience in this trick.

Such rumors will not spread without Genping, Fu Zonglong's ineffective fighting has led to today's situation, Chongzhen can't wait to send Jin Yiwei to Sichuan immediately to arrest him and put him in the imperial prison for questioning.

In particular, under the planning of his military adviser, Zhang Xianzhong also understood some official rules.

It was the idea of ​​his military adviser to temporarily lie low and make small things, and let the court point the finger at He Jinchao.

Among the gang of thieves, only He Jinzhao is strong enough. He doesn't stand in front and fight with the officers and soldiers, but keeps hiding behind and let us stand in front. He is really a despicable villain!

Zhang Xianzhong sent troops to occupy Gucheng, and posted a notice that he was willing to disarm and return to the court. The squires in Gucheng were detained as security for him, and he asked the court to allow him to recruit security.

Yang Sichang did not answer immediately.

Zhang Xianzhong was named the deputy commander in chief by the imperial court, stationed in Gucheng west of Xiangyang, disbanded more than [-] people from his troops and returned to farming, and still left more than [-] elite soldiers, expressing that they were waiting for Xiong Wencan's dispatch.

Not only that, after Zuo Liangyu approached, Zhang Xianzhong was also slashed by him on the face, bleeding profusely.

He suffered a wound between the eyebrows and a cut on his face. After the scab formed in the future, it might affect his face extremely.

Chongzhen also began to become hesitant, undecided in the process of appeasement. If he appeases Zhang Xianzhong and urges him to go to Sichuan to strangle He Jinzhao, the officers and soldiers will supervise the battle later, and they will be able to fight the real fire.

After being recruited by Xiong Wencan several times, Zhang Xianzhong felt that he could not confront the officers and soldiers in a short time, and wanted to take the opportunity to cultivate himself, so he expressed his willingness to accept the recruitment.

When he heard that Zhang Xianzhong asked for comfort, he couldn't stop wanting to kill this man.

Therefore, I sent someone to call Zhang Xianzhong, the chief general of the official army, to come to see him.

Naturally, they want to send someone to send a batch of treasures to Xiong Wencan, so as to strengthen the relationship between the two parties.

With such a clear understanding, Yang Sichang naturally felt that there was no emperor in front of him, so he could only swallow the truth.

It seems that this kind of disfigured person, according to the sorcerer's theory, is extremely difficult to be an emperor.

Thanks to his good father Yang He's failed experience in recruiting, he doesn't believe in recruiting.

Let the rebels in Shanxi feel at ease.

Only in this way can we get a respite, and even allow the court to eliminate its competitors.

So facing Zhang Xianzhong's surrender, Xiong Wencan was extremely happy.

Chongzhen reacted immediately, and asked Yang Sichang very violently, do you think I am the kind of person who is easy to be fooled?

For example, Liu Shijie and Ma Juncai served in Zuo Liangyu's army, and they were allowed to be on the garrison.

Liu Guoneng really surrendered, and he said that he was ordered by his mother, which is one of the most repentant. When he asked to surrender, he paused and said that the foolish people fell into injustice, and Meng Daming gave him the opportunity to reform.

According to the traditional concept of rebels, whoever is the strongest will easily provoke the siege of the court.

According to the plot of the censor Lin Mingqiu, Wang Rui and Zuo Liangyu, the governor of Huguang said that Zhang Xianzhong would be arrested as soon as he arrived, and Xiong Wencan was extremely opposed to this.

Said that it was not easy to get to this point, don't make extra troubles.

Zuo Liangyu flicked his sleeves angrily and left.

Now that the bandits are being comforted, he doesn't need to look at Zuo Liangyu's face, Xiong Wencan tells the other two officials to go to Fucheng to accept Zhang Xianzhong's request to surrender.
