Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 830 The Ashamed General Cao (Two in One)

Wu Guojun and the visitor looked at each other, even though they were all wearing ordinary clothes, they could tell at a glance that they were all from the army.

Everyone is fighting and living in this business, and some characteristics cannot be concealed.

It was like He Jinzhao sitting there, even though he was quite amiable, but there was a chill around him that made their necks chill.

Can't tell, don't know.

It can only be attributed to the Hammer Bandit being the Hammer Bandit!
"I've seen the big guy."

Tang Tong hurried forward a few steps to salute.

"Tang Shoubei, sit down."

He Jinzhao greeted the Yulin guard.

Wu Guojun and the others stopped talking, waiting for He Jinzhao's introduction.

"The one sitting in front of you is Uncle Jingliao."

Tang Tong's eyes lit up, and he hastily reported his identity:

"While guarding Tang Tong in Yulin, Xiayansui Town, I met Uncle Jingliao."

"Oh, nice to meet you."

Wu Guojun nodded with a smile on his face.

Sure enough, they are peers!
That's it, there are still colleagues who haven't arrived yet.

It doesn't matter if two local generals who are out of touch with each other meet each other.

Wu Guojun and the others looked at Tang Tong and felt that the Hammer Bandit business could be done by other officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. I behaved well and couldn't let this way of getting money go.

Tang Tong felt that Marshal He even included the people in Ji Town, which was too fucking awesome.

At that time, we will suddenly become the Hammer Army. On the way to Beijing, someone will open the city gates and close the defenses, and directly seize the bird position of Chongzhen.

It's just that at the moment, Wu Guojun and He Jinzhao have a big business deal, and luckily, they got a title with Daming.

Some officers and soldiers had a small deal with the hammer bandits, and only created a small vacancy in defense.

However, all the generals and academies of the Ming army present here know that with He Jinzhao's support behind them in the future, it is absolutely indispensable to report military merits to the court in the future.

I just don't know that the corner of Daming's wall can be dug by them for several years before it completely collapses.

After Marshal He sweeps the world, we will transform from an officer of the Ming Dynasty to a soldier of the New Dynasty!
Maybe at that time, the hammer bandit's name will not have the word bandit on it.

Wherever we go, we are still a regular army!
Wu Guojun didn't have this idea before.

He just wanted to simply do business with He Jinzhao and obtain greater benefits.

As a middleman between Xungui and Hammer Bandits, he can earn more benefits in Daming.

Continue to be the uncle of Jingliao in the Ming Dynasty, and continue to be rich and honored for his descendants.

Judging from the current situation, Daming will not be overthrown no matter how poor the people are.

As long as you live well, don't care what others do?
But Wu Guojun came to Taiyuan in person, nothing else but what he saw on the road shocked him greatly.

The strength of the Hammer Bandits was many times stronger than he had imagined.

Sometimes, those of us who lick blood to ask for the bottom line of life are very flexible.

Daming's official army can't even beat the Eight Banners, let alone beat the hammer bandits!
If things go on like this, before the emperor orders the siege of the hammer bandits, an unknown number of Ming troops in the team will collude with the hammer bandits, and then the old events of Liaodong will be staged.

Send all the guest soldiers loyal to Daming to die.

Since Hammer Bandit's new ship looks full of vitality, why bother to miss Daming's wrecked ship?

The most important thing is that He Jinzhao is young, and being young means that there is a lot of time to change in the future.

Wu Guojun and the others all nodded. It seemed that He Jinzhao didn't want to hide from them and put a nail in Shaanxi.

This shows that Marshal He didn't treat the Jizhen Military Academy who came from afar as outsiders.

"This time, there are some Mongol heads who followed the Jin army, do you want it?"

Tang Tong nodded repeatedly, but he couldn't reach the Jurchen's head.

After all, the Jurchens have never even set foot in Shanxi, let alone outside of Shaanxi, and no one will believe them.

"But I can also give you the heads of three post-Gold Army Tartars."

He Jinzhao smiled immediately: "The Jurchens fled after being burnt down in Guihua City. Isn't it common to get lost on the grassland?"

"Thank you, handsome."

A look of surprise appeared on Tang Tong's face. It turned out that the Marshal had thought of it for him a long time ago.

"Since you have military affairs, you don't need to worry about these details. I believe Uncle Jing Liao will take you to the capital for inspection of the number of people behind. You just need to talk to Chen Qiyu."

"definitely no problem."

"By the way, Commander, I can't stay too long, the governor of the five provinces, Chen Qiyu, told me to follow him to conquer Zhang Xianzhong.

This time I haven't left yet to transport artillery, gunpowder, bullets and other supplies. If it is a few days later, I have to set off. "

"You should send someone to tell me, how can such a small matter get you close?"

With joy on his face, Tang Tong clasped his fists and said, "The commander-in-chief called me, even if it's across the mountains of swords and seas of fire, I have to come here, how can I ask others to replace me?"

"Wang Chengyin, the chief soldier of Yansui, followed Chen Qiyu?"

"Let's go." Tang Tong immediately revealed the news he knew:

"After Chen Qiyu got the 30 salary, he ordered the governors of the four routes to jointly suppress the thieves."

"Which four-way governor?"

"The governor of Shaanxi practiced state affairs, the governor of Xunyang Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Henan Xuanmo, and the governor of Huguang Tang Hui."

He Jinzhao nodded slightly, Gao Chuang Wang and the others were going to be difficult.

Chen Qiyu is not a good stubble.

"If you're not in a hurry, we'll leave after dinner." He Jinzhao said to Tang Tong.

"Thank you, handsome."

Wu Guojun looked at He Jinzhao's respectful and virtuous corporal's appearance to the side guards, and guessed that he was probably going to return to his hometown in Shaanxi.

This is why Tang Tong is useful.

In the future, when He Jinchao wants to go east and attack the capital, that's when Wu Guojun should play a role.

At this moment, Zhang Guangcan and Zhu Renming walked in with smiles on their faces.

Zhang Guangcan compared Ba's hand gestures to He Jinzhao.

Yanguli's head was raised to [-] shi by him, [-] less than Mangurtai, and by the way, he gave him some heads of the Jin army Tartars as a head.

If you want to hug our handsome thigh, looking at the whole world, not everyone can hug.

Anyway, Cheng Guogong's family doesn't know how much money there is, and there is no food, so it is enough to buy some with the money.

He, Zhu Renming, has no chance to inherit the title of Duke Cheng, so it is better to accumulate military merits earlier, even if he gets an earl, it is earned.

Zhu Chunchen sent his son to Ji Town with this in mind.

After all, Zhu Chunchen has begun to preside over the compilation of Xizong's Records.

As for food expensive?

Now a bucket of rice is worth four taels of silver, which is considered cheap, and it would be worth three liang of silver for a stone when Ji Zhen transported it here.

This price is about the same as when it was sold to Wu Guojun.

For example, in Shaanxi, there has been a shortage of soldiers and bandits year after year, and a stone of rice is about seven liang. (one twenty-six dollars)

As for Henan, which has been drought for years, the price of food in some places has risen to 150 taels per shi, which is simply appalling.

Most of these people were forced to flee with the rebel army, or struggled to come to Shanxi to survive.

Not to mention Henan, even Shaanxi is ridiculously expensive. Now just one stone of grain (120 catties) is sold for seven taels.

A self-cultivator with five mu of land in the south of the Yangtze River, relying on farming, earns about eight taels a year. He can barely support a family of five (two elderly people, a couple and a child). Don't make trouble.

Otherwise, life would be even more difficult.

As for the income of tenants and hired workers, it will be even lower.

Only the capital and other places can rely on food transfusions from the south to stabilize food prices a little bit without being affected. Other places can't save it if they want to.

Or the government has no plans for disaster relief, and just wants to continue to press the bureau to collect taxes.

Zhang Fuzhen came forward to explain the division of heads to Wu Guojun and others. This is a long-term transaction, and there is no need for bidding or auction.

Only those who have a little influence in the post-golden regime will get the highest price.

A table was quickly set up.

There are no delicacies from mountains and seas, but mostly country dishes, as well as chickens from the mountains, stewed boiled meat, and cooked mutton.

Of the two people sitting next to He Jinchao, Wu Guojun had only seen the former military adviser, and the other one was probably newly recruited.

"I don't know this person's name yet."

Wu Guojun smiled like a scribe beside him while holding a wine glass.

"My lord, Zhang Fuzhen."

"Zhang Fuzhen?" Wu Guojun raised his brows, it seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"The former governor of Yansui Town."

jingle.

Shocked by these words, the wine glass in Wu Guojun's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Seeing that everyone was laughing and talking and looking at him, Wu Guojun felt a little out of control.

"Don't blame the commander, don't blame the commander."

"Uncle Jingliao must have had a good drink."

He Jinzhao asked the guard to bring the wine glass again.

Wang Peng and the others breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking that the commander-in-chief threw a cup as a pretense that he was going to kill someone among them!

After all, no one treated this as going to a Hongmen banquet, they were not qualified.

Wu Guojun clasped his fists slightly to thank him, and glanced at Zhang Fuzhen who was beside him, this is the governor!
The dignified governor of the Ming Dynasty did not commit suicide by throwing himself into the Yellow River and being loyal to the country, but demoted the leader of the Hammer Bandit and planned the world for him.

How could Wu Guojun not be shocked by this kind of thing?

You must know that those literati think of themselves as noble, and would rather surrender than surrender to thieves.

Damn it, He Jinzhao really has a way.

Wu Guojun guessed that since he dared to push Zhang Fuzhen out to let him get in touch, presumably Lao Zhang's family members also came to Shanxi from Shandong, right?
Anyway, last time Wang Peng helped He Jinzhao kidnap a Xiyi man named Tang Ruowang to come to Shanxi to build cannons, he knew about it.

This person has a close relationship with Elder Xu Ge, and he doesn't understand what religion he believes in.

But I have to admit that after Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua died, Tang Ruowang understood Hongyi Cannon.

Cao Bianjiao, who was recuperating from his wounds, was also in the Prince Jin Mansion, but he was placed in the backyard of the Prince Jin Mansion, and did not attend He Jinchao's banquet for the Ming general.

This place has been converted into a hospital for wounded soldiers, satisfying the dreams of the soldiers who want to sleep in the dragon bed overnight.

He always heard the former Hammer Bandit soldiers bragging about how comfortable the dragon bed was, but after he actually lay on it, it was just like that, and the wound still hurt.

Moreover, Cao Bianjiao was also very lucky to lie on a dragon bed to recuperate from his wounds. There were ice cubes in the room, and the special medicine was freshly replaced at the wound.

On the contrary, a nurse girl likes his appearance covered in scars, and thinks the man is very heroic.

But when he heard that he was a Ming army or not a hammer bandit, he secretly regretted it, changed his medicine seriously, and stopped winking.

Jiang Xiang didn't go to the banquet either, at least on the surface, his relationship with He Jinzhao, the leader of the hammer bandits, was not that good.

Instead, he stayed here, preparing to abduct Cao Bianjiao to his own camp.

Jiang Xiang felt that he was already a member of the Hammer Bandit, so he had to work for the Hammer Bandit.

For a fool like him, he will definitely have to go to Liaodong in the future, just like the guest army in the past, if he goes to Liaodong, he will die there and never come back.

This kind of young man felt that it was time for him to serve Daming, look at the scars left on his body.

If it wasn't for Cao Wenzhao's nephew, he would have died on the spot with a less-than-good armor and the places where the scars were left.

This kind of good seedling, it's better to rot in one's own pot.

"Little General Cao, are you hungry?"

Jiang Xiang's home is in Datong, and he and Cao Bianjiao can be regarded as fellow villagers.

Chongzhen treated Cao Wenzhao pretty well and punished him to go back to his hometown to guard the border.

"It's a little bit." Cao Bianjiao watched Jiang Xiang put the dinner plate on the small table beside him, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

"Thank you, we are fellow townspeople, and we have fought the dog tartar together, and now we are all recuperating at Marshal He's place. Shouldn't we take care of each other?"

Cao Bianjiao held a big bowl and had to admit that the treatment of the Hammer Bandit Wounding Barracks was really fucking good!

The last time he was injured and went back to Shaanxi to recuperate, even if he was a general, he was not as good as he was with the hammer bandits, let alone an ordinary soldier.

The key point is that the treatment he received as a general of the Ming Dynasty was the treatment that ordinary soldiers of the Hammer Bandits deserved when they were injured.

The only difference is that this is a double room, which belongs to the place where the seriously injured stay.

Jiang Xiang also took He Jinzhao's words and let the two of them recuperate together.

"Marshal He is willing." Jiang Xiang pointed to the surrounding environment and said:

"Prince Jin's mansion doesn't occupy me, but let the Hammer bandit soldiers recuperate. If it used to be impossible for ordinary people to enter, let alone big soldiers like you and me."

"Strange." Cao Bianjiao responded while pawing at the rice: "He Jinzhao doesn't act like a traitor at all."

In particular, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not deal with the people of the Ming Dynasty who had been taken away by the Hou Jin Tartars. Instead, they were rescued from the hands of the Tartars by a group of rebels from the Ming Dynasty, avoiding the fate of being slaughtered.

This incident really made Cao Bianjiao a little hard to accept, and he felt panicked.

Not only that, but he also heard people say that the Ming government army who came to Xuanfu to support them was also plundering the people, and they were no softer than the dog tartars.

"After all, Marshal He is also a person who is persecuted by the court and can't survive. Of course he knows how miserable the life of Xiaomin is." Jiang Xiang also said with emotion:
"If it weren't for Marshal He, I don't know how many people would have died in the famine, in the war, at the hands of bandits."

Cao Bianjiao was silenced by Jiang Xiang's emotion again, the more he thought about it, the more frightening he was, he actually wanted to kill those dog officers who corrupted the Ming army's military discipline.

This kind of fact made him feel ashamed, and he couldn't hold his head up in front of a group of Daming rebels.

After all, what I valued was trampled on the ground by others. It would be fine if it was a bandit, but it happened to be a backstab from the same team.

It naturally made him feel ashamed, especially when he was currently in the Hammer bandit camp, what he saw and felt made him feel ashamed.

Therefore, taking advantage of his serious injuries, unlike the rest of the Ming army, he walked out of the room for a stroll.

Is the back garden of the palace where big soldiers like them can hang out?
As for the front yard of the palace, it is said that you can visit it casually as long as you spend a few pennies.

Looking at ancient and modern times, there has never been such a character as Marshal He!
