Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 844 Recalling the Past (Two in One)

He Jin showed Cao Bianjiao and other officers and soldiers that his subordinates are different, and let them know that there are some things, not only the sense of security that money can bring to you.

And a sense of honor that money can't buy.

In the future, after the hammer bandits expand their power, they may be able to manage your good life for decades, let alone benefit your children and grandchildren.

Sun Shoufa and others were also convinced.

Because He Jinzhao has already used several years of record to prove that he has this ability.

And He Jinzhao has the strength to fulfill what he promised.

People like them who have been in the army for a while know a lot about official affairs.

If he has made enough military exploits under the command of Marshal He, it is not impossible to earn a title for his descendants in the future.

Similarly, Huang Taiji is also using heavy rewards to lure more Ming troops to surrender.

He likes Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi who come with institutional and technical talents.

The purpose of rewarding these horse bones is to attract more people to use for him.

He knew that his military resources were insufficient.

After those Ming soldiers shaved their heads, their treatment was much better than that of Daming.

At least no one dares to be greedy for military pay, and the combat power will increase a lot.

The Eight Banners were originally the Ming army with sufficient military pay and excellent armaments.

There is not much difference between the means of the two sides.

It's just that sometimes once a battle is defeated, it is difficult for those soldiers who have been rewarded to escape with money on their backs.

Even if there is money, so what?
Once defeated, it is still unknown whether they can buy food and replace it with food!

Of course war is a continuation of politics.

When He Jinchao led many Mongols in partnership to defeat the Houjin army and forced Huang Taiji to release the captured Han people, the surrounding government forces became more vigilant against the Hammer Bandits many times.

Ma Chengxi didn't dare to pierce, but just wrote a letter to plead guilty as usual,

After all, the Houjin Tartars attacked the Datong Mansion. As a general soldier, he only dared to defend the city, and he couldn't justify not pleading guilty, let alone mentioning that the hammer bandits could defeat the Houjin army. What about masturbation?
I just hope that His Majesty can allocate some of the money from trading with Lin Danhan in the horse market to him for training, otherwise Datong Mansion will always have to passively defend.

The soldiers under Ma Chengxi, the general soldier of Datong, could be robbed and humiliated by Lin Danhan, let alone have any sneak attack ideas against the hammer bandits.

He was afraid that He Jinzhao would randomly send out a partial division to bombard Datong County,

Even the soldiers of the Ming army, who relied on private pay on behalf of the king, couldn't stand it.

In particular, the Houjin Tartars were beaten "without the power to fight back" by the hammer bandits in front of their eyes. Such an image deepened their fear of the hammer bandits.

Ma Chengxi is also well aware of his own strength, so Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, came to contact several times to counterattack Shanxi together.

Although he was a little moved, he was worried about being betrayed by Jiang Xiang, so he never agreed.

As for that bastard Jiang Xiang, who has been secretly hooking up with He Jinzhao, I'm afraid he just sent troops, marching routes, distribution of troops, and the amount of food and grass, and he sent them to He Jinzhao's table.

The most important thing is that Lin Dan Khan plundered Datong Mansion repeatedly in the past few years. How can he have money, food and troops to recover Shanxi?
Facing Xu Dingchen's proposal, Ma Chengxi, the commander-in-chief of Datong, just wants to say:

Damn, don't come here, thank you.

There are wives and concubines to take care of at home, I don't want to die young.

Ma Chengxi even thought that once He Jinchao led the hammer bandits to occupy Datong Mansion, he even thought about tying Dai Wang Jingxian!
Anyway, He Jinchao didn't kill King Jin and King Lu at the moment, at most he let them sweep the streets.

In this troubled world, if you are lucky enough to be alive, you are extremely lucky.

Although Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, also heard that He Jinchao had defeated Huang Taiji, he believed that Huang Taiji was at the end of his strength and that He Jinchao seized the opportunity.

After Xu Dingchen's "fight" with He Jinchao in the past few years, he realized a truth.

Nahe Jinzhao's little postman is very good at seizing opportunities, and using the opportunities he seizes, he constantly expands his own advantages.

But don't be afraid, even if that cowardly Ma Chengxi dare not agree to the contract, he still has a powerful "foreign aid" like Uncle Jing Liao!

When the time comes, he and the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, will be able to make He Jinchao focus on his head and ignore his back.

However, Hong Chengchou from Shaanxi threw the letter away and ignored Xu Dingchen's behavior.

If you want to send it yourself, don't drag the Governor.

He mobilized the army to strictly prohibit the fleeing rebels from returning to their hometowns, and he monitored the hammer bandits in multiple ways.

There is currently no idea of ​​​​counterattacking Shanxi.

Because the money approved by His Majesty was not in place at all, and at the same time reminded His Majesty that the Shanxi hammer bandits are extremely harmful, otherwise how could His Majesty approve the money?
Even if it is in place, it is necessary to continue to train the artillery, so that it is possible to fight against the hammer bandits.

These technical talents are not created in a short while, and can be fired immediately.

Filling gunpowder is a big science, and shooting and aiming is even more so.

Otherwise, these cannons are also prepared for the hammer bandits. He will not do this kind of loss-making business!

Although Hong Chengchou has considerable power, he is a governor with no financial power, and the military pay and food are provided by the local government.

In particular, if local officials are engaged in the army, they must first supply their own people for any supply.

These high officials dispatched by the imperial court are all the same, otherwise Chongzhen would not be able to send a few royal guards and drag them to the imperial prison.

Most of the governors of the Ming Dynasty were contractors, unlike He Jinchao who grasped the military power and finance together. He said that if he wanted to vigorously engage in cannons, he had to mobilize his craftsmen to do the cannons immediately, and there was sufficient money and food supply.

A rebellion needs a basic base. Like He Jinzhao, he has a firm foothold in Shanxi, and Nurhachi has been operating in Liaodong for decades.

No matter how wantonly Hong Chengchou killed people, he would not dare to affect the interests of the rest of Daming in Shaanxi.

Zhang Fuzhen relieved the pressure on him by using corrupt officials to make a lot of money and food, but the local officials didn't have a good impression of the trilateral governor.

With so many troops under his command, he dare not "act recklessly" like He Jinzhao!
Hong Chengchou had to abide by the rules of Daming, and move around within that rules.

Those thieves and even the common people who were killed by him are nothing in the eyes of meat eaters like them!

The Mongols who fought with the Hammer bandits on the grassland got rewards and pastures, and even spread the name of He Jinchaotian Khan.

What the hell is Dajin invincible, he was defeated by Tian Khan!

Especially when the Great Khan Lindan Batur fled in embarrassment in Mongolia, it was He Jinzhao who stood up to turn the tide.

On the grassland, the sharpness of the knife in your hand is hundreds of times stronger than that of any bloodline.

Even if Lin Danhan wanted to come back, how many people would surrender to him?
He Jinzhao looked at the map and fiddled with the distribution of his current power, feeling a little excited.

Previously, he was just preparing for the exam when he was unemployed, and he woke up suddenly. Even in a panic, he couldn't remember when Chongzhen hanged himself, and only wanted to fill his stomach.

The taste of hunger erodes his brain and body all the time.

The first one is to choose to go to his own sister, looking for stuttering.

He thought in his heart that the world was going to be in chaos anyway, and according to the current situation, he would be able to earn a living by going to the bandits first, and he would be able to have a full meal by beating the local tyrants.

Being an obedient citizen can only be harmed back and forth by the officers and soldiers and the rogues!
When he never wanted to go back to the county to find a meal, he saw all kinds of appalling things on the road, which made him panic.

Induced by hunger, he even carried out a robbery, just to eat a bite.

As a result, he was sent to prison by the former "Fan San", and began to consciously preach the Water Margin, uniting several people to form a group.

Coupled with the death of the old Shizhang who had always wanted to drag him to become a Ming obedient citizen, he immediately exploded.

Previously, He Jinzhao only thought of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, so he planned slowly, and didn't think of taking the lead by himself.

After all, the first person is easy to die.

The Chen Sheng Wu Guang Uprising, the Zhang Jiao Yellow Turban Uprising, and even the Great Uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, those who took the lead in attacking all died.

But things don't always go your way, especially if you're just a small person and no one cares what you think.

He Jinzhao could only bite the bullet and pretend to be a big guy, tricking everyone into snatching back their own money with him, and forcing the government to open a warehouse to release grain to strengthen his momentum.

Only then did he have the opportunity to beat the magistrate to death with his own hands, establish his own authority, step down step by step, guard the county seat and dare not go out.

Don't look down on the officers and soldiers, but in field battles, the rebel army is by no means an opponent.

Look at the large number of Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang and others, they were chased and beaten by Hong Chengchou.

It wasn't until the postmen, prisoners, and hungry people in Ganquan County were fed and clothed that they were more willing to work with He Jinzhao.

With him building up and training the team step by step, he had a little bit of strength in his hands, using the city and the cold weather to wear down the officers and soldiers, and had the capital for subsequent negotiations.

At that time, He Jinzhao was just a small leader among the thieves in Shaanxi.

The 80 rebels in Shaanxi and the Northwest Hammer King also mostly flattered them for the sake of food, without much respect.

If the officers and soldiers were a little stronger, they could crush him.

He Jinzhao crazily acted like he didn't care about flipping the table, even if I was dead, I would bite off a piece of your flesh fiercely, at worst, we would die together.

It's just covering up the inherent weakness of the power in his hands.

The wrath of the man, the blood spattered five steps, and he could only express his dissatisfaction fiercely like this.

A look that I am not afraid of wearing shoes anyway, this is why Daming's appeasement faction gained the upper hand.

After all, a lunatic like him who doesn't get into the oil and salt and dies at the same time really makes Yang He's rich experience in the officialdom completely useless.

Who told He Jinzhao to be born as a commoner and only to be a courier, not as noble as them!

Respectable gentlemen are too lazy to talk to ants like He Jinzhao. If they are annoyed by the trouble, they should send him away quickly, so as not to obstruct the eyes of the gentlemen.

Only then did He Jinzhao attack Shanxi, and after a bloody battle, he was still underestimated by the surrounding Ming officials and soldiers, always thinking about preparing to crush him, a little postman, to death.

Even though Cao and Cao were defeated, the high-ranking officials of the Ming government still had considerable confidence in the Hammer Bandit being able to wipe it out.

I have two capitals and thirteen provinces in Ming Dynasty, so what if I lose once?
It wasn't until the Golden Tartars won the two battles that the surrounding Ming court officials felt that He Jinchao was so powerful.

It simply highlights their imagination!
Because the Later Jin Tartars rebelled in Liaodong for so many years, the court suffered several times and lost land everywhere.

They are all very clear about Hou Jin's military power.

No matter how He Jinzhao fought, he won anyway, and they were not allowed to see the scene where Huang Taiji led the army into Shanxi and wreaked havoc, which really made them feel scared.

That humble little postman has already mastered a large number of elite troops. If he comes over, can these respectable gentlemen resist him?
Almost all of Shanxi is in the hands of He Jinzhao.

Even though there are droughts every year, when He Jinzhao builds water conservancy and replenishes the population, the population exceeds one million, and the output is huge.

After two or three years of accumulation, He Jinzhao can be provided with many soldiers and more abundant logistics reserves.

In the same way, the treatment of the Hammer Bandit soldiers made the local people and the people who migrated see hope, and they would unconsciously look forward to joining the Hammer Bandit system.

The only disadvantage is that He Jinzhao needs to train a large number of local officials.

Even those scholars who previously advocated the development of science and technology to acquire talents were mostly not shouting, and could only obediently obey the rules set by He Jinzhao.

If you don't join in, there will be thousands of difficulties in the future, so you don't want to get ahead.

They were no longer a scarce item at all, because He Jinzhao was teaching a lot of characters, whether it was a child or a hammer soldier, he had to learn a thousand characters, whether it was to settle accounts in the future, or to serve as a local official.

Literacy is always a good start. They have no capital to control, and the land at home is almost divided up. If you want to receive tax relief, you have to be a hammer bandit. You are a scholar who studies the Four Books and Five Classics. What credit do you have? Dare to ask for it?

Hammer bandit is a bandit, are you afraid that you scholars will scold you?

This is not the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty, let you speech officials insult you, and take pride in it and gain fame.

It's not that there are no scholars who have written books and arranged Marshal He, and they arranged to change the seven yellow-flowered girls who slept every night into eight.

The person who wrote the book and edited Marshal He was immediately paralyzed by fright after being found out. He dared to smear only eight people for Marshal He, and sent him directly to the coal mine to mine, telling you to be a real black fan for the rest of his life.

Of course, there is no shortage of scholars who wrote poems eulogizing to He Jinzhao, hoping to gain He Jinzhao's appreciation, but they were still kicked out of the government office.

Wanting to rely on one's own mouth to obtain official positions and rewards that others have worked hard to obtain is really kicked by a donkey.

Don't think that scholars in Ming Dynasty have any integrity or that they are all very smart. They are the ones who change their positions the fastest.

He Jinchao once hammered down the magistrate alone, and also led a dozen people to coerce the gentry in the city, and even led hundreds of predecessors to stop the army and survive.

The snowball is getting bigger and bigger, and the inside is no longer hollow. It claims to be 1 people to the outside world, to cover up that its power is not tyrannical.

Now he has tens of thousands of people under his command, enough to fight against any force in the world.

The officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty were nothing to him, lacking food and pay, elite soldiers were always a minority.

But the Eight Banners of the Houjin Army have always been a stone on his heart. If he doesn't kick them away, he doesn't know their strength.

Especially when He Jinzhao used powerful artillery and cavalry to forcibly grind the powerful enemy Huang Taiji back, this hard rock was really kicked away in his heart.

The Eight Banners soldiers are not invincible!
