Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 978
He Jinzhao didn't look at it first, but Ji Gui and several military advisers first looked at it.

"My lord, Zhang Xianzhong has a good plan."

Ji Gui was the first to circulate the letter:

"If he really wants us to help him, he can definitely suggest that our army adopt the strategy of making a fool of ourselves.

We sent troops out of Shanxi to threaten the land of Hebei.

If Chongzhen couldn't say for sure, he had to call on the King of Qin again, Zhang Xianzhong, who was beaten by the officers and soldiers. "

"That's right." He Jinzhao stroked his stubble and said:
"Then the land of the capital, if the dog tartars rob it, I, the Hammer Bandit, can't rob it?"

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed, and the room was full of cheerful atmosphere.

The Ming court became weaker and weaker, and everyone's confidence became stronger.

According to the meaning of the lord, there is no need to expand rapidly.

After annexing most of Sichuan, many officials are not enough and need to be transferred repeatedly.

Otherwise, the power must be delegated to those gentry, which is impossible.

Better not fight.

"My lord, this piece of loyalty is deeply thoughtful."

Zhang Fuzhen also sat aside holding his beard:
"He still wants to enter my hammer bandit's territory, and then he will become a ground gun.

Let the protagonist bear the name of attacking the "Alliance", and his mind is very vicious.

It's better to promise him to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers, and we will go to reinforce, whether it is half a month or a year, in short, promise him to reinforce. "

It is absolutely not allowed to become a ground gun.

So as not to get the golden cup to drink with you, and the white sword does not spare each other.

Now that the Hammer bandits have a big plate, the advisers feel that they still need to pay attention to their reputation.

Zhang Fuzhen has a dark heart, and really wanted to use a knife to kill Zhang Xianzhong.

But He Jinzhao didn't care. In today's era, only a bad reputation would make people fear or feel at ease.

When the new dynasty is established, there will never be a lack of praise.

Even if it is a shortcoming, they will find a way to boast to you.

He Jinzhao didn't respond to Zhang Fuzhen's words either.

He felt that using the Ming army's sword to kill people was better than borrowing the Ming army's shaved head and becoming the Qing army's sword to kill people.

Don't have too many illusions about the fighting power of the Ming army now!
From chasing the rogues, to fighting back and forth, they are now being chased by the rogues.

It can be said that the Ming army played chess with the stinky chess basket, and the more they played, the better they became.

Just say it's weird or not!

Now even Zhang Xianzhong is qualified to spray these Ming troops:
What the hell are you, you deserve to fight on the same battlefield as me?

Still want to encircle and suppress Lao Tzu, do you really think that Lao Tzu was trained in vain by Bai Zhongtian?
The shit is all typed out for you!

"My lord, since Zhang Xianzhong is dishonest and took the lead in plotting against us, then don't blame us for taking action too."

Ji Gui stroked his beard and continued: "We strictly controlled Zhang Xianzhong's access to Shaanxi and other places, and forced him to fight the official army.

In the end, regardless of victory or defeat, he was advised to go south. Didn't there be news earlier that the domestic slaves in the south were rioting?
If we can go to Fujian and cause more trouble for Zheng Zhilong, we are also very happy to see it, and let this sea tyrant see how powerful we are on land. "

"Yes, Daming can't collect a few taels of tax in Jiangxi for a year."

Zhang Fuzhen added: "The bandits have not been involved there so far, if Zhang Xianzhong lets go, it will be difficult to have any decent resistance in the south.

If he can quickly disrupt the clans in those places, wait until my Hammer Bandit leads the army.

With the broken window theory mentioned by the lord, I believe they are still willing to accept the rule of our army. "

Several counselors decided Zhang Xianzhong's ending in this way. To be an instrumental person, you must act like an instrumental person.

If Li Zicheng wanted to be a tool man, he is not qualified now.

Don't even think about the other little bosses.

You, Zhang Xianzhong, go for fun, I have to thank my lord for not wanting to kill you.

He Jinzhao's idea for Zhang Xianzhong is to drive him away: "But we have to make plans to accept Zhang Xianzhong from the officers and soldiers."

"My lord, this move is risky."

Zhang Fuzhen was the first to refuse.

With the current strength of the hammer bandits, when the officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed Zhang Xianzhong, they would be timid, fearing that the hammer bandits would suddenly lead their troops out.

"Well, I think too much."

He Jinzhao thought about it for a while, and it probably meant the same thing.

Now the system of the Hammer Bandits has made Da Ming extremely afraid, and it is designated that he will not easily fight with his own side.

It is a tradition in Ming Dynasty to pick the soft persimmons first.

"In terms of the attitude towards the Ming government, it's best if we can't read back about Zhang Xianzhong's matter. We will default to killing people with a knife, so that they can rest assured to encircle and suppress."

Ji Gui gave his own suggestion, and he felt that Yang Sichang was still happy to sit back and watch.

Because only in this way can the rest of the bandits be wiped out. Wouldn't it be better if the Hammer Bandit family dominates?
When He Jinzhao thought about it, that was the same thing.

If Zhang Xianzhong was obedient and went directly across Huguang to Jiangxi, he would be able to lead the officers and soldiers all the way east.

In this way, both he and Li Zicheng have more room to operate.

But if Zhang Xianzhong disagrees with his operation of replying the letter, then he will suffer.

"By the way, the given country issued an order to prevent Zhang Xianzhong from entering Sichuan to fight."

"clear."

The defense line in eastern Sichuan was still in the hands of Chen Shiqi, the governor of Sichuan, and the hammer bandits did not accept it.

If Zhang Xianzhong went to the east of Sichuan, He Jinzhao would really have nothing to do.

It's just that his wave of people couldn't pass through Chongqing.

Neither Chen Shiqi nor Li Dingguo will allow him to seize Chongqing and become a ground gun.

He Jinzhao felt that Zhang Xianzhong was likely to take the risk, and whoever allowed himself to reject him would set himself on fire and burn it to the hammer bandit's door.

They can do this kind of thing.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Everyone has the same idea, it just depends on who can be more bottomless and go too far.

"Brother-in-law, is there any progress on the steam engine?"

He Jinzhao's question stunned his brother-in-law for a moment, and then he shook his head. It is indeed difficult for this thing to go from zero to one.

After all, it is really difficult to always stare at the kettle to boil water, lift the lid, and what rubber and other materials are there.

Beef tendon and so on are smashed, but it doesn't have a good effect.

"It's not in a hurry, as long as this kind of technical work has a breakthrough, it will be much easier to develop later."

He Jinzhao reassured that it doesn't matter, let's study it slowly.

After all, it is enough to have a beginning, and this task has been left to the students in the school under the Hammer Bandits to think about.

With this kind of environment, if there are one or two geniuses, it is impossible to say.

Rome wasn't built in a day anyway.

"My lord, with the documents just delivered from Sichuan, the three prefectures of Zhenxiong, Usa, and Dongchuan have all sent people to the chieftains of Guizhou, Yunnan, etc. on the border,

Promote the policy of exchanging my hammer bandit, and insert it quietly. "

"Ah."

He Jinzhao responded to Yang Yuxiu's report.

The boundaries of those deep mountains and old forests are really not conducive to the advancement of artillery. It may be good to use one's own policies to win over some people, at least they made a move to divide.

At that time, the win-win is about the same, and if there is not much progress, they will be able to spare time to make another batch of dishonest chieftains.

The rest are the wave of people who follow the crowd silently, so it will be easier.

Prince Mu of Yunnan succeeded to the throne at the age of 10, and his father died suddenly in the first year of Chongzhen.

The affairs of the general army can only be taken by the governor of Yunnan, while the affairs of the mansion are presided over by his mother Mrs. Chen Tai and the housekeeper Ruan brothers.

For so many years, Mu Tianbo has never been "in charge".

In Yunnan, because of the "powerful master and young mother", the entire Mu Palace and the officialdom were in chaos, and many chieftains rebelled.

Even if He Jinchao sent someone to collude with the chieftain, the Mu Palace didn't have much time to deal with it.

There are too many rebellious chieftains, so what if there are a few more?
As long as Daming's sky remains intact, they will still be the hereditary Qian Guogong.

Besides, whether it's the Qing army entering the fortress or the bandits raging, who the hell wants to go to Yunnan, where eating mushrooms is easy to be poisoned?

Therefore, the people in Mu Palace closed their doors to live their rich lives.

The chieftain's rebellion, since Muying arrived in Yunnan, every generation of Qian Guogong will experience it.

So there is really nothing to worry about.

As for the hammer bandits in Sichuan and other places, what does it matter to me in Yunnan?
What's the matter with my Mu Palace?
It was all Sichuan officials who responded.

The most important thing is that the road in Yunnan is not easy to walk at all.

Many people can't stand the climate here, and the poisonous miasma from time to time can kill a large number of people silently.

Even though Zhuge Liang was careful to conquer Menghuo, there were still Han soldiers who were shot.

As for the chieftains in Guizhou, they were frequent visitors of the rebellion. One of the three major battles in Wanli took place in Guizhou.

Now there are still large-scale people opposing Daming, and the chieftains in Guizhou can't wait to continue to rebel!
They heard that He Jinzhao slaughtered tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in central Sichuan, even Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin was killed, Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers were also wiped out, and many Guizhou chieftains offered to hug the bandits' thighs.

No matter who wants to rebel against Ming Dynasty, I, the chieftain of Guizhou, will help out.

Daming's reform of the land and return to the natives was only a foundation, and it was not completed, so the chieftain did not have much loyalty to Daming.

Chieftains led by Qin Liangyu are really rare in Daming.

Ji Gui wrote a reply letter to Zhang Xianzhong, asking He Jinzhao to have a look.

After He Jinzhao read it, he didn't think there was any problem.

It's not that he doesn't want to fight, but that natural disasters are serious and he needs to accumulate food and grass.

Otherwise, even if we send troops to Huguang, Henan and other places and occupy a vast area of ​​land, what can we do?
The grain-producing lands such as Henan and Huguang were also exhausted by bandits, military disasters, and natural disasters.

How much do you have to fill up in the early stage?
So many people who are starving for food have reached out to you for food.

You can't make them full, so why should they be "an'an hungry" under your hammer bandit rule?

The severe drought during the Chongzhen period had lasted for two years.

With Henan as the center, it radiates horizontally to North China.

It is a catastrophe that has not been seen in 500 years by looking through the history books.

The poor harvests in Shanshan and Shaanxi seem to continue.

This wave is more serious than when the apocalypse and Chongzhen alternate.

This is also some of the reasons why Zhang Xianzhong wanted to farm the land by himself. If he didn't cultivate the land, he would have nowhere to grab it.

Zuo Liangyu pursued Zhang Xianzhong, and the food in the army was only enough for two days, so he marched hungry.

He Jinzhao's method of praying for rain to calm people's hearts with cannons was useless.

Fortunately, the development has been good in the past few years. The people have surplus food in their families, so they will not go hungry, and there is a land in Sichuan that produces food, and they have harvested three crops, which greatly relieves the current food pressure of the hammer bandits.

But if you really want to mobilize troops, the place can be easily occupied, but the population will also have to starve, so it is better not to move.

"Okay, just reply to Zhang Xianzhong's letter like this."

"Yes."

Ji Gui asked He Jinchao to affix his big seal and personal seal, and handed it over to the envoy sent by Zhang Xianzhong, asking him to take it back.

"Lord."

Yang Yuxiu took another brochure and handed it over:
"This is the number and cost of digging deep wells to fight drought in Shanshan and Shaanxi."

He Jinzhao took it and browsed it. It can be said that there has been no rain in the past two years.

In winter, some places can get a little snow, which can make the local people extremely happy.

"My lord, the inspectors have already checked. Although the money spent varies, they are all used where they should be used."

He Jinzhao nodded, the price of well construction varies from place to place.

If someone wants to be corrupt, it is indeed difficult to find a replacement during this period of time, but it is better to lack than to abuse.

He also does not want anyone to reach out to people's livelihood.

Those who came out of the officials' schools almost came out in batches and were filled in batches in various places.

Just here, there are still vacancies for many people to work concurrently to make sufficient preparations and experience for the future mayor and county magistrate.

Naturally, there are a large number of people who don't feel bitter about this kind of thing, because the official career is really promising!

But He Jinzhao felt that even though he had made a lot of preparations, after quickly occupying the two provinces, he was stretched.

He even encouraged people with ideas to leave the army and go to local governments, whatever they wanted.

In order to avoid more and more tragic wars in the future, you will die on the battlefield.

Such methods have been used, and a group of talents who have retired from the army have also been obtained.

After all, not everyone likes to lick blood on the tip of a knife, and they also have a family and worries.

They were all very grateful to the Marshal for such an enlightened move.

"it is good."

He Jinchao closed the booklet and asked someone to hand it over to Qiu Zhitao for filing.

"How is the construction of the canal going?"

"During the slack season, peasant associations in various places are organizing work. This is something that will benefit their future harvests, and it is impossible for the people in various places not to care."

Yang Yuxiu felt a little superfluous about the lord's worries.

After all, this harvest can be half of his own, and the harvest of those sergeant families will be even more.

In addition, many people have experienced drought and starvation.

The feeling of starving, they will probably never forget it in this life.

It was Marshal He who fed them, and now he ordered them to build water canals.

Who would dare to refuse to save their own food in this way?
Sometimes, however, Yang Yuxiu felt that her lord really had the heart of a bodhisattva.

He was too kind to the people, and hardly made them serve corvee.

He Jinzhao stood up and took a few steps. He really had nothing to do with this large-scale and long-lasting drought.

Fortunately, there was no drought in Sichuan, and in addition, very few Sichuan soldiers became regulars, so the land allocated was divided on a [-]-[-] basis.

In the future, it is even possible to organize the official purchase of Sichuan's grain to relieve the pressure, so that the people in central Sichuan can also have some money.

"No matter what, we must keep the people from starving." He Jinzhao patted his stomach: "I don't even bother to recall that feeling."

"My lord, don't worry, if you are a hardworking person, you will still be hungry.

That is, if we and other officials are unable to govern, the Lord can order a change of punishment. "

Yang Yuxiu once again solemnly expressed his loyalty, taking into account the fact that the Hammer Bandits have won successive victories and expanded their territory.

Who doesn't know their future is great?
