Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 693 Borrowing money (first update)
Even if Yue Fei was reborn and Qi Jiguang climbed out of the grave and confronted He Jinchao in the Ming army camp, he was not afraid to fight these two.

Because according to the Ming army's habit of "collapsing, selling and withdrawing", both of these two had to be sold by their teammates first, and in the end one committed suicide to serve the country.

Coupled with the wrangling and various policies of the princes in the court, who wants to save Daming?

Chongzhen, the emperor, was the first to refuse!

He himself is currently the strongest gravedigger in Ming Dynasty.

Yang Jiamo felt that he couldn't beat He Jinzhao, so he didn't want to be a big man at all, and started to play badly to save himself, and asked others to consume He Jinzhao.

Bai Guangen, who was besieging the city, was replaced, and went straight ahead with his five thousand car battalion.

When he got the transfer order, his expression was very bad.

Obviously, this time he took a job that was not so dangerous, but he was forced to the front in the end.

If the rebels want to serve Daming, they have to bleed first, right?

In front of him, He Jinzhao belonged to the old seniors of the Shaanxi Rebellion, the first echelon.

There is no friendship between them at all, and it must be said that it is also related to the late thief leader Wang Jiayin, and even Zijin Liang knows about it.

However, Wang Jiayin was beheaded by his subordinates, and Zijin Liang ran to Henan.

Bai Guangen rode on his horse and headed for Mengmen Pass.

On the city wall of Wubao County, the brave general Bai Huixi watched the officers and soldiers change defenses, and smiled to the left and right:

"Everything is under the control of Marshal He. After being besieged this time, I see that the soldiers under his command are all lazy. How will we fight in the future?

From tomorrow onwards, I will pull them all out and practice hard. "

"Yes."

After Yang Jiamo led the army to besiege Wubao County, he sent troops to Mengmen Pass.

Occupying the vast coast of the Yellow River, the speed of communication between Shanxi and Shanxi is very fast.

Hong Chengchou has already led troops to station in Yan'an Prefecture and Suide County.

This place is less than a hundred miles away from the Yellow River Ferry.

When he received Yang Jiamo's letter, he stood in the county office and walked around a few times.

"Jundai, did Zuo Guangxian send you a letter recently?"

Fan Yiheng thought for a while: "Back to the governor, there are, and the latest firearms have been reported. The most suitable time to make firearms is March."

"Take it out and let me take another look."

Hong Chengchou took the documents and looked at them carefully. In March, a total of 370 firecrackers were manufactured, and 180 were qualified.

"Collecting nearly a thousand craftsmen from the three sides, why did they make this firecracker?

I read the documents Yang Jiamo gave me, saying that there are so many hammer bandits and firearms, where did He Jinzhao get so many craftsmen? "

Fan Yiheng squeezed his beard and said: "Governor, there must be a lot of craftsmen under his command. We captured the bandits who were entrenched in Yonghe and other places.

I learned that He Jinzhao would make stoves and give them to the people under his rule for free every winter, but he needed to buy coal from the Hammer Bandit regime. "

"What do you want to say?"

"There must be more craftsmen under his command than us, and the treatment is better."

Fan Yiheng cupped his hands slightly: "Why don't you raise the salary of craftsmen a little?"

The passing rate of the fire gun is less than half, which is really a headache.

"absurd!"

Hong Chengchou flicked his sleeves angrily: "Could it be that the hammer bandits raised the salaries of craftsmen, and I, Ming Dynasty, also want to raise them. Isn't that learning from the rebels?

Since ancient times, money has been paid according to the price set by the government. He congratulated a traitor in the current dynasty, rewarded craftsmen generously, and took the property of King Jin. Can you and I take the wealth of King Qin? "

With so many soldiers under his command, Hong Chengchou felt that it would be very difficult to maintain their military pay without being owed.

If the treatment of craftsmen is raised, is the money and food blown out of thin air by the strong wind?
"Reply to Zuo Xianguang, tell him to control the quality, which craftsman's pass rate is too low, pull it out and cut it.

The governor wants to see, if they kill a few chickens, whether they still want to raise their salary. "

"Yes." Fan Yiheng replied.

"By the way, let's urge you a little more about the shield." Hong Chengchou walked up and down in the county office.

It is very difficult to maintain the situation of full payment and full payment, and the manufacture of weapons is even more a bottomless pit.

Since there are many hammer bandits and firearms, they can only arm their soldiers with shields first, so as not to be passively beaten.

Hong Chengchou really wanted to do He Jinchao's robbing of the vassal king, at least he didn't have to worry about money.

"Jundai, you will go to Xi'an on my behalf, and ask the son of Prince Qin if he can lend money to our army.

The disaster relief money and military expenses sent by the imperial court were all intercepted by Xuanda Governor Zhang Zongheng, because once they passed by Shanxi, they would be defeated by hammer bandits.

Now Cao Wenzhao has won consecutive battles in southern Shanxi, regained a large area of ​​land, and the road is the same. "

Fan Yiheng listened to Hong Chengchou's words in astonishment.

The appointment of the vassal king will not be too active, because of the ancestral system and the sake of His Majesty today, no one is a fool and knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

If the imperial power is threatened by someone, but he thinks you are threatened, he will physically eliminate you.

It doesn't matter if the general is disobedient, he can be killed if he can, even if he rebels, the court still has so many generals who can quell the rebellion.

It doesn't matter if civil servants are disobedient, just don't make a small group into a large group. After finishing the eunuch party, the current Donglin Party is almost beaten into an opposition party by Chongzhen.

What he hates most is that someone forms a party behind his back!
As for the vassal kings who are disobedient and change their ways to ask for money and fields, they can beat them and be satisfied. They are all from their own family.

But once the relatives want to serve the country, they will definitely have power in their hands. With power, will the vassal king become the second Ming Chengzu?

This is something that Chongzhen absolutely does not allow to happen!
Therefore, for their own safety, the vassal kings have to pretend to be stupid even if they are not stupid. How can they worry about state affairs and don't want to live?

Because taking money is greed, and taking a gun is rebellion!
Without Zhang Mazi's external force, they can only dare and take money, and they can't leave the fief for the rest of their lives!
Donate a small amount of 5000 taels, and maybe you will be rewarded by Chongzhen.

But once 10,000+, hundreds of thousands of money are thrown out, do you want to invite the hearts of the world?
"Governor, Prince Qin's son is negotiating to take over the title of King Qin. I definitely don't want to cause trouble at this time. Even if I tell him this, let him pay the money and food first, I'm afraid."

Hong Chengchou pinched his beard and said: "It's a good time for him to inherit the king's title, so you ask him to pay 5 taels of silver and [-] shi of grain.

I will report to His Majesty that he donated 5000 taels of food to fund the Shanxi rebellion. I think His Majesty will approve his imperial decree as soon as possible. "

What Hong Chengchou said earlier was that he wanted to deceive the prince of Qin, and it was my ability to borrow it.

Why do I have to pay back the money and food I borrowed with my ability?
Moreover, he even brought the money and food to relieve the victims in Shaanxi with the censor Wu Sheng, fearing that Zhang Zongheng would embezzle all of it to train soldiers.

Zhang Zongheng and Hong Chengchou also had the same idea. I borrowed money based on my ability, and I did it for the country. Why should I pay it back?

"what?"

Fan Yiheng never expected that Hong Chengchou would present himself to the court like this.

"You go first, otherwise the Shanxi bandits will not be able to calm down, they will re-enter Shaanxi, let him think about the fate of King Jin."

"Yes."

Fan Yiheng hurriedly set off for Xi'an.
