Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1328

The people from the east of the river are from the Ming Dynasty.Under normal circumstances, Wang Yongqiang is not willing to meet.

Although Suide Prefecture and Yulin Mansion are barren, Wang Yongqiang has tens of thousands of acres of land and [-] tenants. In addition, the emperor is far away from the mountains.

The Ming Dynasty had a lot of restrictions on the generals in the army. The military rations and salaries did not go through the hands of the generals, but were distributed by the Ministry of War on time. The generals had no money to take.

In addition, the generals above battalion command must be replaced every three to four years, even those who are crowned kings like Dai Zhifan are no exception. The military governor's mansion has many restrictions and is uncomfortable.

Although the treatment of these military generals is considered generous, with a lot of land and mansions, Wang Yongqiang is not envious at all, the Kingdom of Jin has few restrictions on him, he lives a happy life, so he should be more comfortable as the emperor of the land.

There are many large and small warlords in the Kingdom of Jin, but the Ming Dynasty's instigation of rebellion over the years has not been effective, and almost none of these military leaders' instigation of rebellion has been successful.

When Jin Yiwei instigated the rebellion against Tongguan guard general Tang Tong, he was also bullied by that man. He tied up the secret spy sent by the Ming Dynasty to instigate rebellion, sent them to Chang'an with great fanfare, and handed them directly to Hauge.

The guy took the opportunity to show his loyalty, and his title was promoted from marquis to Duke of Zhen, so angry that Jin Yiwei issued a killing order, and would spend [-] silver dollars to buy Tang Tong's dog's life.

After this incident, Jin Yiwei's instigation of the generals of the Kingdom of Jin suddenly cooled down. After Jin Yiwei summed up his experience and conducted some analysis, he gradually changed his strategy of instigating the rebellion against the army leader.

Wang Yongqiang is living a good life, and it is unlikely that he will have contact with the Ming Dynasty. However, he is in a mess now, and his illnesses go to doctors indiscriminately, so he let people into the mansion without much consideration.

When Wang Yongqiang saw a 30-year-old literati walking into the festival hall and saluted him with a smile, he couldn't help being a little puzzled, "We know each other?"

None of the three people in the hall were wearing official uniforms, and Wang Yongqiang was a little startled as soon as the visitor came in to distinguish his identity, thinking that the other party had seen him.

Hu Xiaosheng smiled complacently, "I don't know the military sect, but I often see the portraits of the military sect." He turned his head and looked at Gao Youcai who was sitting beside him, and said with a smile: "General Gao Can also Here!"

Gao Youcai stood up in shock as if stung by a bee, but then sat down again and remained silent.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty has been paying attention to them for a long time, and even has portraits. Maybe there are people around them who have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, they are comfortable being emperors, but the people below cannot get promotion, enjoy wealth, and are still under their control. They don't have the same fun as them. It is very possible that they want to find a good way out.

Both Wang Yongqiang and Gao Youcai showed varying degrees of displeasure on their faces, neither of them liked the feeling of being seen through.

Hu Xiaosheng saw the expressions of the two, but kept a smile on his face all the time, "Junmen and General Gao Shen seem not to welcome you!"

"Mr. is overthinking. If you don't welcome him, you won't let him in." Wang Yongqiang laughed awkwardly, rolled his eyes, walked back to the main seat and sat down, and said with a smile: "Sir, please sit down. Let's get straight to the point. I don't know that Mr. came to Suide what's the matter?"

Liu Chengyong sat at the bottom, and Hu Xiaosheng also sat down, put one hand on the armrest of the chair, leaned over to look at Wang Yongqiang, and pretended to be concerned: "I just arrived in Suide, and I heard that Wang Junmen was compensated for planting cotton this time." I have lost all my money, Suide Prefecture has no money and no food, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Wang Yongqiang's face twitched, he wished he could rush forward and beat the person in front of him to death, he said in his heart, "It's the thieves, isn't it your Ming Dynasty's hands and feet, you have seen it all, so why not ask me a damn question."

Hu Xiaosheng looked at Wang Yongqiang's face, and sighed, "It seems that the news is correct, the military sect has indeed been planted, and there are quite a few."

Wang Yongqiang blushed, he didn't want to be entangled in this matter, he held back his anger, "What's the matter, sir?"

Both Wang Yongqiang and Gao Youcai knew in their hearts that this Hu Xiaosheng was born in Suide for nothing more than "instigating rebellion".

Now both Suide and Yulin are short of food, and we must get some food and grass, otherwise there will be famine in the two places, and the army will also mutiny.

At this time, Yan'an could not borrow food, and the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was furious again, beheading the officials who had grown too much cotton.

Of course, this does not mean that they have decided to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and they cannot give up the days of the Tu Emperor unless it is absolutely necessary.Wang Yongqiang was more trying to make a fool of himself, to get some food first, and it was for the food that he endured Hu Xiaosheng in front of him who angered him.

"I have already stated that I am from Hedong, can't the military gate guess my purpose?"

Wang Yongqiang was furious in his heart. He swore that if he couldn't get food from this guy, he would tie him up and send him to Chang'an to show his loyalty.

Wang Yongqiang knew the purpose of Hu Xiaosheng's visit, but he couldn't say it himself, he just kept a gloomy face and didn't speak.

Fortunately, Hu Xiaosheng didn't sell Guanzi again this time, "Come down here, of course, to deliver food to the military gate and help the military gate to stabilize Suiyan. My Ming Dynasty is about to attack Guanzhong, and Jian Guo doesn't want the people in Guanzhong to suffer, and I don't want to suspend the hungry people." It's happening everywhere, and of course I don't want the Ming army to fight with the Junmen battlefield."

When he heard that he was coming to deliver food, the anger in Wang Yongqiang's heart melted instantly, and a smile could not stop appearing on his gloomy face, but when he heard that the Ming army was going to attack Guanzhong, his expression froze again.

At this moment, Gao Youcai's expression on the side was equally exciting, and he couldn't help asking in surprise, "Is the Ming army going to attack Guanzhong?"

Isn't it good for everyone to be friendly? Why do you have to fight and kill? Can't everyone reclaim more land and plant some food to restore people's livelihood?The population of southern Shanxi is empty, so the Ming Dynasty can't restore the population first, and the Ming army can't take a rest?For Wang Yongqiang and Gao Youcai, confrontation between Ming and Jin is what they want to see. They really don't want to fight.

Hu Xiaosheng smiled, and asked back: "Does the military gate think that if I make such a big move in Guanzhong, there will be no next move?"

Previously, Wang Yongqiang and Gao Youcai were only concerned about food issues, but did not consider these issues. But now that they think about it, the Ming Dynasty set up such a big scheme to disrupt Guanzhong, and it will definitely not be anticlimactic. It is really possible for them to take the opportunity to attack Guanzhong.

Hu Xiaosheng saw the shock of the two people, and said with a smile: "Wang Junmen and General Gao, since the Qing dynasty was destroyed, the general trend of the world has returned to our dynasty, and the trend of unification is inevitable. Our dynasty will soon attack the Kingdom of Jin in five ways and launch an extermination campaign." In the great war between the two countries, Wang Junmen and Gao Shen will bear the brunt of it all the way."

As he said that, Hu Xiao became serious, cupped his hands and said: "I hope you two can make the right choice, you must see the current situation clearly!"

Wang Yongqiang and Gao Youcai looked at each other and understood what Hu Xiaosheng meant, but this was a big matter and it was impossible to make an immediate decision, and Jin Guo had been in Guanzhong for ten years and had a solid foundation, so it might not be the end.

Wang Yongqiang was silent for a while, turned his eyes, looked up and said: "I understand what you mean, sir. I am also from a famous general, and I am willing to work for Daming, but this is a big matter, and it concerns my subordinates. It's not easy for them, I'm afraid."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Hu Xiaosheng, as if he wanted to see something from his face, and Hu Xiaosheng kept a smile on his face, "I understand the meaning of Junmen. No change, there will be rewards after meritorious service.”

Hu Xiaosheng laughed suddenly, and said emphatically: "As for the [-] sons under the military gate, I am willing to pay the military salary and food for three months first, and use it as military resources anyway. Thinking about it, with these things, the military gate should be able to persuade them Let me be your son."

Wang Yongqiang blushed, but he still said calmly: "Yes, if you have money and food, you can talk about anything. But my eldest son is still in Chang'an, and I am a little worried about his safety. Can Mr. Hu allow me to pick him up first?" come out."

Hu Xiaosheng smiled and said: "Of course, if Wang Junmen needs it, I can still help."

"No need for that. I still have some contacts in Chang'an. In addition to the current chaos in Guanzhong, Jin Guo is in a state of distress. It is no problem to get people out." Wang Yongqiang smiled, but then looked at Hu Xiaosheng and said: "Sir, you I also know my current situation, the food in the army has been used up, I don’t know if I can send a batch of food and pay first, so that I can do the work of my subordinates.”

Hu Xiaosheng still kept a smile on his face, "No problem, five days later, a batch of food and salaries will be delivered to Wubao."

Wang Yongqiang was overjoyed, Huo Di stood up, seemed to have completely forgotten the previous unhappiness, patted his chest, and pretended to be bold, "Mr. is straightforward, and I, Mr. Wang, are also unambiguous. I am willing to work for the king of Chu!"

Hu Xiaosheng nodded with a smile and stood up, "Then I will take my leave first and go back to prepare."

Wang Yongqiang hurried forward and grabbed Hu Xiaosheng, "My husband and I hit it off right away. We should have had a drink with him, but the matter is so important that I won't keep him." Then, he looked at Liu Chengyong who was sitting at the end and said: " Liu Shoubei, you take someone with you to protect Mr. Hu and go to Wubao, and you will also be entrusted with the task of receiving the food, so it must be done properly."

Hearing this, Liu Chengyong hurriedly got up to accept the order, Hu Xiaosheng immediately bowed his hands and said goodbye, and left with him.

After the two of them left the festival hall, Gao Youcai, who had been silent behind him, frowned and asked, "Junmen, is this going to surrender?"

"Damn it!" Wang Yongqiang cursed, sat back on the main seat, looked at Gao Youcai and said, "The situation is unclear, get the food first, and then we'll see the situation."

Gao Youcai nodded in reassurance, gave a thumbs up, and praised, "The army is brilliant, and the Dajin has established the country for ten years. Although there is trouble this time, it is not easy for the Ming army to get in. We really don't need to be the first bird Now that we are on the line anyway, there is no need to worry. If Dajin can stabilize the situation, then we will hold them back on the grounds that the time is not yet ripe. If Jin Guo really can't stand it, then we will follow the trend. "

"Youcai, you are really talented." Wang Yongqiang couldn't help but glance at Gao Youcai approvingly, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

On the other side, Hu Xiaosheng and Liu Chengyong left the festival hall and stopped in a deserted place.

Hu Xiaosheng smiled, "Let's go here, I don't need you to send it. Since Wang Yongqiang asked you to receive the food, the situation is more beneficial to us. I still have things to do, you go and prepare."

Liu Chengyong bowed respectfully, "Yes, I'll prepare for the humble job, Mr. Wang be careful."
