Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 993 Messenger

He Jinzhao did know that the opportunity for Hong Chengchou to surrender to the Qing Dynasty was that he went out to resist the Qing army, and was then appointed by President Zhang as the number one in the biography of the second official.

After all, Hong Chengchou contributed a lot to destroying Nanming and leading the Southern Green Camp to resist Li Dingguo's Sun Kewang's counterattack.

Needless to say, his contribution to the Qing Dynasty deserves to be ranked first by Mr. Zhang.

Therefore, whether Hong Chengchou is an official or an official, he has been severely suppressing the peasant army and safeguarding the interests of the gentry.

Ji Gui had a very clear understanding of the guarantees made by Ming officials.

They promised well, but when it comes to the critical moment, they just won't do it for you.

Anyway, it's not me who is fighting on the front line.

It's none of my business whether you are hungry or not?
Even at a critical moment in the imperial court, they were able to make a bug operation for King Qin's soldiers, mobilizing them for three consecutive days and not giving them food supplies, which led to the mutiny of Shanxi soldiers, which is enough to see the consistent style of officials in the late Ming Dynasty.

It doesn't matter whether you are the governor or the governor, because you are serving the country to resist foreigners and so on.

There is no special treatment for all, and they are treated equally here.

If you can save food, you can save it, and the savings are mine.

He Jinzhao thought for a while: "It's not good for the war between Ming and Qing to end too soon.

Ji Gui, you send a letter to Wu Guojun Feige to let him and Tang Tong exert their strength. You must ask Hong Chengchou to carefully confirm whether the food and grass are in place, otherwise they will not be able to confront Huang Taiji for a long time. "

The war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties was quickly resolved, which was not conducive to the hammer bandits.

Only when they continued to fight and bleed for a long time at the border, would it be most in line with He Jinzhao's actions.

Whether it is the Ming army or the Qing army, all of them have to grind a lot in the flesh and blood mill in Liaodong.

"At the same time, let Sun Chuanting also work hard, and let the officials of the Ming Dynasty supply the Liaodong soldiers with food and grass, and it must be in place."

"Yes."

After He Jinzhao finished his orders, several staff officers in the hall couldn't help laughing.

In the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the commander-in-chief had to help the Ming court to check for omissions and fill in the gaps, and urged those officials to implement Hong Chengchou's requirements.

Such an act is really something that can only be done by a "loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty".

But it happens that his own general is Daming's biggest anti-thief leader.

This matter is really a great irony!
"My lord, in this battle between Ming and Qing, Huang Taiji has a huge advantage."

Zhang Fuzhen looked at the map of Liaodong and pointed in the direction of Jinzhou: "Huang Taiji will besiege Jinzhou for a long time and attack the reinforcements led by Hong Chengchou."

The atlas of Liaodong was corrected by Shuo Tuo and others.

"Huang Taiji attacked the Ningjin line of defense at the beginning of his succession, resulting in a big defeat. Later, he used the method of enclosing points to fight for reinforcements to win the battle of Dalinghe."

Ji Gui looked at the map and said: "This time a large number of Qing troops have gathered in Uiju, and their military strength is stronger than before, but I think the Qing army is still not good at fighting fortified battles.

As long as the Ming army has enough food and grass, relying on the tactics of fortified cities and cannons, it is enough to severely damage the Qing army.

The Qing army will use Shang Kexi and others to practice artillery and bombard the city every day. "

Shuo Tuo said long ago that Huang Taiji was determined to engage in artillery.

So that Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde and others were distinguished from the rest of the Han people who surrendered, and they were named Sanshun Kings, independent of the Eight Banners.

Most of the subordinates of Kong Youde and others were "European artillery" trained by Sun Yuanhua. The Qing court had no guns or cannons. They not only taught but also made them.

The current Huang Taiji does not have Mr. Zhang’s belief that the Qing Dynasty won the world by riding and shooting. Instead, it actively embraces "new technology" and strives to achieve war transformation.

An aggressive king will not be conservative and incomplete, stubbornly thinking that the war should be fought according to his will.

Previously, the Qing army bombarded Songshan City day and night, but Jin Guofeng couldn't help it. It is enough to see that the Qing army's artillery skills are not very good, and they can only win by quantity.

"The Qing army besieged and did not attack, and cutting off Ming's reinforcements and food, would cause the Ming army in the city to collapse without occupying it."

He Jinchao nodded. The Qing army probably did this. As long as they can win, it doesn't matter what tricks they use.

"My lord, the Qing army will also recruit and surrender on a large scale, adopting a psychological attack strategy."

Zhang Fuzhen pinched his beard and said: "For example, the Mongols in the city win over the gentry of Ming Dynasty and promise to give them preferential treatment. The most important thing is that Razu's birthday is released.

This move can isolate the stubborn resistance faction in the Ming army, accelerate the disintegration of the Ming army, and make them unable to unite as one. "

He Jinzhao took a few steps and looked at the map of the Liaodong area. According to the current situation, the Qing army had won too much over the Ming army in that area, so he thought about pulling aside.

Actively mobilize your own power to increase chips for the Ming army. I hope they don't pull their hips so much, and it is best to cause great trouble to Huang Taiji.

Fu Zonglong arrived at Yanmen Pass as a history of the Ming Dynasty, and was warmly received by Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi.

After all, Lu Xiangsheng had been making a battle plan against the hammer bandits before, and he was actively preparing for the battle, which made Xu Dingchen extremely excited, thinking about going back to Taiyuan day and night.

As a result, when the Qing army entered the customs, Lu Xiangsheng died in battle, and the person who succeeded Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of Xuanda and went to Beijing to become the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Now that Xu Dingchen heard the purpose of Fu Zonglong's visit, he couldn't sit still.

That is to say, the imperial court deployed hundreds of thousands of troops in Ji Town, not only did they not have the idea of ​​a decisive battle with the hammer bandits, but they wanted to negotiate peace with the biggest rebels in Ming Dynasty?

What kind of joke is this?
Xu Dingchen felt that his persistence for so many years had become a joke.

Fu Zonglong knew Xu Dingchen's depressed mood at this time, and he was also in despair, but he had to do things for the court!
Now that Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more corrupt, what Chen Xinjia said makes sense.

Solve one point first, and then the other. Daming's current strength can't help but toss.

If the situation in Liaodong cannot be resolved, the Qing army will be able to quickly invade the capital at that time.

If Yang Sichang can't get out of Chongqing, the bandits in the Central Plains will grow stronger and stronger.

It was really helpless for the imperial court to negotiate peace with the hammer bandits.

This matter is kept a secret, and after the imperial court resolves the Liaodong matter, the elite will return to the army, and it will be time for the Western Expedition.

What can Xu Dingchen do?
With the armor in his hands alone, it is impossible to fight against the hammer bandit, so he can only stick to it.

"Tell me about how you were defeated in Sichuan."

Xu Dingchen stood up, wanting to hear how powerful the hammer bandits were.

"The Hammer Bandit artillery is powerful and accurate. The only inconvenience is that it is difficult to transport."

Fu Zonglong briefly stated the advantages of the hammer bandits, and the white-armed soldiers were almost powerless to fight back against the artillery.

"So, we also have to forge more cannons?"

"Correct."

Fu Zonglong sighed. The General Cannon in his hand was covered by the Hammer Bandit's cannon before it could exert its power.

Even when he was working in the Ministry of War, even the artillery in the hands of the Liaodong Tartars was much stronger than that of the Ming army.

The two Daming rebels both got their technology from Daming, but none of Daming's soldiers could use such good artillery.

Xu Dingchen thought for a while, and said, "Do you have a way to make Hongyi cannons?"

"Although Sun Yuanhua was killed, Xu Guangqi still has other students, but they are not so outstanding."

"You help me repair a book, and ask them to bring craftsmen, and I will give them excellent treatment and official positions."

As governor, Xu Dingchen still has the power to appoint officials.

"it is good."

Fu Zonglong immediately edited a letter. He never expected that at the junction with the hammer bandits, there would be loyal ministers like Xu Dingchen who were still entrenched in Shanxi, waiting day and night for the imperial reinforcements to arrive.

I hope it doesn't end in the end, Master Wang can't set the Central Plains in the north, and he doesn't even have anything to say about the sacrifice.

When Fu Zonglong left Yanmen Pass, he was warmly received by Yang He.

The hammer bandit negotiated peace with Daming, and his son was able to escape and ascend to heaven, so this time he explained the errand for He Jinchao. Even though he is old, he still has the same demeanor.

Fu Zonglong really didn't understand this former high-ranking official of Ming Dynasty.

But looking at his cheerful appearance now, and acting on behalf of the Hammer Bandit, he must be highly valued by He Jinchao.

"I don't know where the boss is now in the official position?"

"White body."

Fu Zonglong's face changed instantly, what do you mean?
"White body?"

Yang He stroked his all-white beard and said:

"The old man is getting old, and I have somewhat forgotten that I still have an official position, but it is inconvenient to disclose it.

If I can live long enough, and you come here again, maybe you will know. "

"Why didn't He Jinzhao come to see me?"

Yang He glanced at him: "Why doesn't Zhu Youjian come to see my handsome?"

"you."

"When you arrive at the Hammer bandit's territory, put away your arrogance and be careful not to be hacked to death. The emperor will send an envoy."

As soon as Yang He warned him, he boarded the bullock cart directly, lowered the curtain, and ignored him.

If Fu Zonglong hadn't run so fast in Sichuan, the two of them would have met long ago.

What's more, He Jinzhao handed it over to Yang He's plenipotentiary regarding the peace negotiation and oath, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

This matter is a hole buried for Daming, and it will take time to ferment and explode.

But Fu Zonglong didn't get into the bullock cart, but paced slowly, looking at the surrounding farmland.

It has to be said that the drought is extremely serious, but many people are actively doing disaster relief.

Just because of the hammer bandit's organizational ability, he had never seen such a scene since he was ruled by Ming Dynasty.

The fields are almost full of weeds, and many places have been abandoned. Only under Xu Dingchen's rule, there are still people who are remediating the fields.

Fu Zonglong just went out of Yanmen Pass to the nearest county seat, and he never gave him the opportunity to go further afield to inquire about the hammer bandits.

This comparison alone makes Fu Zonglong feel very uncomfortable.

Anping City.

Zheng Zhilong built a city in Anping Town, Quanzhou, where he broke the maritime ban imposed by the Ming Dynasty. Armed fleets continued to flow in. He made full use of his financial resources to expand maritime trade and monopolize the trade between China and overseas countries.

Drought also occurred in Fujian. He suggested that the Han people move to Taiwan because the land is fertile there, but (Tainan) and other places were occupied by the Dutch, and two cities were built.

Zheng Zhilong also can't understand the Netherlands as a competitor, and wants to fill his own strength, or find more ways out for himself.

In short, he gave great personal support to the people who immigrated to Taiwan.

In Quanzhou, Fujian, Zheng Zhilong's words are more effective than officials.

This person is also extremely kind to the people, and there are many reliefs.

In other words, there is so much wealth at sea that it is completely unnecessary for him to disdain to oppress the people on the road.

Now the Dutch are his main competitors at sea. The Dutch have always wanted to control the entire China Sea, but Zheng Zhilong stopped him.

Zheng Zhilong was planning to immigrate to Taiwan, and received a messenger who claimed to be the hammer bandit Marshal He.

"Hammer Bandit He Jinchao?"

Zheng Zhilong himself was a pirate, even though he had defected to Daming and his son Zheng Sen became a scholar of Ming, most of the people he communicated with were pirates.

It doesn't make any difference to him whether he is an official, a thief or a bandit.

"Brother, what is this He Jinzhao that deserves to talk to us?" Zheng Zhifeng naturally looked down on these thieves.

Zheng Zhilong shook his head: "After Xiong Wencan was transferred, I wrote to him.

The imperial court sent him to Sichuan many times to encircle and suppress He Jinchao, he felt depressed, saying that He Jinchao is powerful and has already occupied the land of three provinces, who can win? "

"The land of three provinces?"

Zheng Zhifeng seemed a little surprised that the Liaodong Tartars just occupied the outside of the pass and became a climate.

After all, the Ming Dynasty had two capitals and thirteen provinces, and in the end, all three provinces fell into the hands of He Jinchao.

"In fact, it's not just the land of the three provinces." Zheng Zhilong put down the letter in his hand: "Mongols outside the Great Wall also often praise the name of Khan from another day."

Zheng Zhifeng stopped talking.

As a sea merchant and a pirate, he always sailed on the sea and dealt with Dutch ships from time to time, but he was not very familiar with the news on the mainland.

Zheng Zhilong had also received He Jinzhao's messenger before, and was thrown on board by him as a slave.

A rogue, he deserves to write me a letter?
Even though the whole world knows that I, Zheng Zhilong, was born as a pirate, but now I am also an official of the imperial court, how can I collude with the rebels?

But in the blink of an eye, He Jinzhao's strength expanded so fast that he had to pay attention to this person.

Now I won't pretend I can't hear you anymore.

In particular, He Jinzhao also mentioned his willingness to cooperate, hoping that as a supplier of Zheng's goods, we can make money together.

I, He Jinzhao, also know that you, Zheng Zhilong, are not some loyal minister of Ming Dynasty.

As it happens, neither am I.

The two of us can work together, or I will kill all your suppliers.

Zheng Zhilong really can't do anything about this kind of bastard's energy on land.

Even though he was powerful at sea, the Dutch who traveled thousands of miles to plunder were afraid.

But once he can't settle on land and loses a lot of goods, how can those people under his hands support them?

In a dynamic group, even if the big brother wants to go ashore for nothing, he can't control the younger brothers, let alone the younger brothers.

When the boss is popular, drinks hot food, and shines on the lintel, those younger brothers also want such a rich life.

Zheng Zhilong's family has a big business. Compared with He Jinzhao, he is barefoot. If the hammer bandit smashes the pot.

What can He Jinzhao lose?
Zheng Zhilong's loss was huge.

People who are good at naval battles, can they really gain a foothold on land and fight with the army?
This is also after the collusion between the government and businessmen, Zheng Zhilong's career in the sea is getting bigger and bigger.

Zheng Zhilong knew this very well.

The pirates are used to fighting at sea, but on land, they are no match for those people at all.

"Big brother?"

Hearing the third brother's yelling, Zheng Zhilong put down the letter in his hand and said with a smile:
"Marshal He's emissary is worthy of my attention, tell him to come in."
