Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 910 Local War (Two in One)

Although the road to Shu is difficult, as long as Hanzhong is conquered and several prefectures in Sichuan are radiated, it can still be done.

King Rui Zhu Changhao, who sealed his mansion in Hanzhong, is a man of Buddha.

But love money.

It is true that it echoes the image of Daming Buddhist disciples.

King Rui sent people to stop Li Zicheng and other rogues. He spent more than [-] taels to reward the soldiers, but he claimed that it was money for the relief of the victims.

He didn't dare to claim the name of the army at all, but he was an old fritter that had survived since Wanli, so he had a decision in his heart.

With the precedent of the vassal king spending money, Zhao Guangyuan, the commander-in-chief of Hanzhong, led his subordinates to protect Zhu Changhao and resist the attack of the hammer bandits.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty could never turn a blind eye to the matter of the feudal lord spending money to support the army.

After all, people like King Tang are too dangerous.

The Ming court led by Chongzhen could not pay the soldiers, but the vassal kings could.

Many vassals were richer than the emperor.

Who among the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would not give their lives to this vassal king who was willing to spend money?
At that time, more and more people will gather together, even if you, the feudal lord, don't think of rebelling.

But the soldiers under his command didn't think so, a coincidence such as Chen Qiao's mutiny would definitely happen.

The reputation that you are willing to give rewards to your subordinates is getting louder and louder. The Ming army all over the world, they all come to take refuge in you and serve you.

Who would recognize the Chongzhen Emperor in the Forbidden City?
The emperor in the imperial city has become the target that everyone must get rid of.

Otherwise, not only oneself, but also future generations will be liquidated.

At that time, you, a vassal king who is willing to spend money, will automatically become Zhu Di, and the one in the Forbidden City will become Emperor Jianwen.

Chongzhen would never allow this to happen.

That's why Tang Wang was severely punished and deposed as a commoner. He said he was sent to Fengyang Shouling, but he was actually sent to the prison there.

This is to warn the other vassals, which vassal dares to stand out.

The king of Qin refused to spend money on soldiers of the Ming army because of his luck.

But based on the external pressure environment, there are even more factors of poor performance.

The latest battle report sent back by Yuan Shizhong is probably that this group of officers and soldiers are relying on King Rui's money reward to defend Nanzheng, waiting for Sichuan soldiers to come to support them.

He asked if he should go to Mian County to break through Ningqiang, the throat from Shaanxi to Sichuan.

After conquering Qipan Pass and Chaotian Pass, and occupying Guangyuan County, they took advantage of the trend to attack Long'an Mansion, Chengdu Mansion and other places, making it impossible for Sichuan soldiers to rescue Hanzhong.

In this way, the Hanzhong generals will lose their fighting spirit.

He Jinzhao did not approve, and planned to let Yuan Shizhong implement the strategy of encircling the spot and attacking aid, luring the Ming Dynasty's official army to go out to fight in Sichuan, so as to offset the fighting will to fight in the local area.

At the same time, these Sichuan soldiers who had defected to the hammer bandits were sent back to their hometown to visit their relatives and spread the news.

It is estimated that Sichuan will have to do something, and dare not send reinforcements abroad lightly.

Occupying the whole of Shaanxi would take time to digest, and he rushed into Sichuan to start a war. He Jinzhao felt that it was not a local war and uncontrollable.

Li Zicheng suffered a big loss in Sichuan, and Hong Chengchou and others joined forces with Hanzhong General Zhao Guangyuan and others to beat him up.

Now they don't dare to counterattack Shaanxi, but it is more than enough to defend Hanzhong.

"My lord." Ji Gui squeezed his beard and said:
"The battle in Hanzhong can be pretended to be anxious, and there is no rush to conquer it, but I don't know if Hong Chengchou will enter Hanzhong again this time?"

"It's hard to say." He Jinzhao is also hard to make a judgment on this kind of thing:

"But Zhang Xianzhong is making a fuss in Huguang and other places, and Hong Chengchou may not be able to spare his hands.

They can be closely monitored. Once they enter Sichuan, Yang Wenyue will send troops to Henan to drag him down. "

Ji Gui nodded again and again, for this reason.

Li Zicheng failed, but Zhang Xianzhong was in the limelight.

Whether it was Hong Chengchou or Yang Sichang of the capital, they were all plotting against those rogue bandits, and then freed up superior forces to encircle and suppress the hammer bandits on all sides.

Ji Gui felt that Daming treated the hammer bandits and the Qing army in the same way, as long as I couldn't beat them, I would beat those I could beat first.

Those who have difficulties are left behind, otherwise how can the encirclement and suppression be effective?
But they don't seem to have thought about it, if they can't beat it, they can't beat it, and they believe that they can beat it with the dispatch of the Minister of the Ministry of War?
In the fields outside Xi'an, many people are busy.

He Jinzhao is riding a war horse and looking slowly with a telescope. As long as you work hard, you can get something. With such positive feedback, who can not be enthusiastic?

Moreover, the Chinese people have great enthusiasm for the land.

Can the feeling of cultivating someone else's field be the same as cultivating one's own?

"My lord, as long as these people follow the Shanxi model step by step, they will all live a good life."

Ji Gui admired the lord's establishment of a peasant association, which effectively organized the people in the villages and towns, and directly skipped the level of exploitation by the gentry. It was really a pioneering work.

He Jinzhao put down the binoculars in his hand, and continued to recruit Qin Bing, but on a small scale.

There are always people who don't want to farm the land, and want to seek wealth and danger, especially the treatment of hammer bandits. Looking at the surrounding forces, there is nothing comparable.

Even if they have to enter the trapped camp first and wait for the opportunity, they will also fight for it.

Since ancient times, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty have been more resistant to war, and there are a large number of old Qin people who are willing to be hammer bandits.

For these Qin soldiers, He Jinzhao only recruited [-] troops and trained them a little to serve as a reserve team.

At that time, it is designated that large-scale military use will be made externally, and everything is moving in the established direction for the hammer bandits.

Shaanxi gradually calmed down, but Hanzhong Prefecture still belonged to Shaanxi Province.

Rui Wang Zhu Changhao's fat face was dripping with sweat. He was so frightened that he woke up every night for the past few days, and even had wet dreams, which had never happened in many years.

The army of hammer bandits outside the city bombarded the city every day, but the city wall of Nanzheng could last for a few more days.

Fu Zonglong, the governor of Sichuan, has no certainty when he will be able to bring reinforcements to rescue him.

Zhao Guangyuan is the son of the fierce general Zhao Lengjiao, and now he is the commander-in-chief of Hanzhong.

His father was both civil and military, and died as a king, but this son is a little inferior.

Now facing the siege of the hammer bandits, he can only struggle to support.

Zhao Guangyuan not only asked for help from Fu Zonglong, governor of Sichuan, but also asked for help from his cousin Zhao Guangrui, deputy general of the Han and Qiang battalion in Chengdu.

Rui Wang Zhu Changhao called Zhao Guangyuan at this time, he believed in his father's halo, that's why he trusted him so much.

After all, there is an old saying that a tiger father has no dogs, and his father is so powerful.

But Zhao Guangyuan is really a bit of a dog.

In his mind, he had planned to keep King Rui, give up Hanzhong Mansion, and run away to Chongqing.

Working here, I am afraid that even my life will be lost.

The hammer bandits even took down the whole of Shaanxi and took control of Tongguan.

Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, did not dare to go north to recover. How long can he support with the thousands of people under his command?

King Rui asked his servants to bring out three boxes of silver:

"Zhao Zongbing, you will be placed on the top of the city. Whoever makes meritorious service or is injured will be rewarded for this king. No matter what, you have to wait for reinforcements to arrive."

Zhao Guangyuan looked at the three boxes of silver, gritted his teeth and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you King Rui."

King Rui nodded slightly, holding the Buddha string in his hand.

Although he is greedy for money, he also knows that he has to spend the money that should be spent.

Otherwise, it would be too cheap for the hammer bandit. Although he had been buried and dealt with, several provinces provided him with money, so he was very rich.

He has no place to hide the big golden Buddha enshrined at home!

I heard that the hammer bandits even scraped away the gold from the Buddha statue, it is extremely hateful!

"What else?"

"Nanzheng City Wall is damaged."

"Spend money to find a civilian husband to repair it, and ask the civilian husband to go to the city wall to repair it."

Zhao Guangyuan looked a little ugly:
"King Rui doesn't need to make arrangements, I'll go back and do it, but the cannons of the hammer bandits are accurate, and our soldiers are a little scared."

"Then do you have any solution?"

The speed at which King Rui turned the Buddha string also increased: "Can you hold Nanzheng County before the arrival of reinforcements?"

"To be honest, it's difficult!"

Hearing Zhao Guangyuan's reply, King Rui stopped turning the bracelet, hesitating for a while.

Do you want to run straight away?

In case the Hammer Bandit sees that the attack is impossible and continues to increase troops, he will not be able to run if he wants to.

What King Rui thought in his heart is that it is best to keep this place.

Otherwise, if he runs away in the future, even if the emperor does not hold him accountable for leaving the place of the vassal without authorization, he will have to live a hard life under the fence from now on.

He didn't want to surrender to the Hammer Bandits until the end was irretrievable.

Although I, Zhu Changhao, worship Buddha and burn incense, I have eaten delicious food and drank spicy food all my life.

When I was young, countless beautiful girls wanted me to sweep the streets and do those menial jobs. I would rather kill myself.

King Rui put the Buddha string in his hand on the table: "Don't treat my brothers badly, let's keep it first if we can."

"Yes."

Zhao Guangyuan called his personal guards to carry the silver down, and he didn't dare to covet these silver taels at this time.

He can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.

In case he couldn't defend anymore, he needed these soldiers to protect King Rui all the way to escape to Sichuan.

It would be a big loss if he was tied up by his soldiers and dedicated to He Jinzhao because of this small amount of silver reward.

Holding the bracelet, King Rui turned around and went to the Buddhist hall to offer incense, hoping that the Buddha would bless him.

Fu Zonglong, governor of Sichuan, has just received the news that the rebel leader He Jinzhao is attacking Hanzhong Mansion, and the situation is critical.

He was dismissed by the angry Chongzhen because He Gao and his wife entered the imperial city and got implicated.

Now that He Jinzhao is attacking Hanzhong, is he going to attack Sichuan next?
The last time Li Zicheng ran rampant in the middle of Sichuan, he and Hong Chengchou attacked him, and he was beaten badly, and he almost went the same way as Gao Yingxiang was captured.

But now he wants to go out of Sichuan to deal with the hammer bandits, rescue King Rui, and keep Hanzhong, so he guards the throat of Sichuan.

If Hanzhong fell into the hands of He Jinzhao, wouldn't he attack Sichuan whenever he wanted to?
Fu Zonglong didn't like He Jinzhao.

Even when reflecting on these years, I have resented Chongzhen in my heart, blaming people like him who took the initiative to do things, and those officials who did not do things were not punished.

But the emperor remembered him again and asked him to serve as the governor of Sichuan, and spoke soft words in disguise.

Fu Zonglong is persistent in his heart and is loyal to Daming.

The inspector Chen Tingmo saw that Fu Zonglong was thinking, and quickly asked, "Governor Fu, do you really want to send troops?"

Fu Zonglong glanced at him. When Li Zicheng ran rampant in Sichuan last year, he defeated the Sichuan soldiers in just one month.

Hou Yuzhu, the general soldier of Sichuan, was ambushed by bandits and shot to death in Baiqingba in Zitong County.

Sichuan governor Wang Weizhang and inspector Chen Tingmo were so frightened that they looked pale and desperately called for help.

After receiving the report, Zhu Youjian deeply hated the incompetence of civil and military officials in Sichuan, and ordered Wang Weizhang and Hou Liangzhu (dead in battle) to be dismissed.

"What do you think?"

Chen Tingmo himself has committed crimes and meritorious deeds, so of course he only wants to defend Sichuan. If he goes out to support Hanzhong, once his troops are lost, how will he deal with He Jinzhao in the future?

He knew the formidable fighting power of the Hammer bandits, even Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, did not dare to go back and regain the basic disk of Shaanxi after he lost it.

With the fighting power of the Sichuan soldiers, defending the soil may not be able to motivate them, let alone sending them out to support other places.
"Be careful." Chen Tingmo said carefully:
"This matter still needs to call Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, to send troops, and we will wait for the Sichuan soldiers to respond as part of the division."

Fu Zonglong glanced at him, most of the Chuan Wenwu were psychologically shadowed by Li Zicheng.

Although Li Zicheng was defeated, this confidence cannot be easily reversed.

Even though the hammer bandits have never been to Sichuan, the reputation of the hammer bandits has long been spread through the mouths of the officers and soldiers and rogue bandits.

"It's too late."

"Could it be possible to start from Chengdu and arrive at Hanzhong in time?" Chen Tingmo said a little excitedly:
"Governor Hong, it is more convenient for him to enter Hanzhong from Huguang."

"You don't agree with sending troops?"

"Yes." Chen Tingmo pointed to the map of Sichuan and said:
"There are only [-] to [-] soldiers in Sichuan in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and we have to guard the precipitous places to prevent other rogues from entering Sichuan again.

Regarding the viciousness of the Hammer bandits, I would like to ask the governor, how many people should be sent to support them?
What's the use of 2 people going out of Sichuan?

With [-] to [-] troops, the transportation of food and grass is also a problem, let alone the entire central Sichuan. "

Chen Tingmo pointed to himself and said: "I have committed crimes and meritorious deeds now. If there is another problem in Sichuan, it may be trivial to dismiss me, and I have to go to prison."

Fu Zonglong raised his eyebrows slightly, and was silent for a while.

"I just want to keep Sichuan safe!" Chen Tingmo emphasized again:
"What if our army angers He Jinzhao and he takes advantage of the situation to send troops into Sichuan to fight, can you resist? Or do you expect Governor Hong to quickly support him?"

Chen Tingmo had great concerns and did not want to take responsibility.

When Fu Zonglong was hesitating, he heard that the deputy general Zhao Guangrui asked to see him. He thought it was because of Zhao Guangyuan, the general soldier of Hanzhong.

"Governor, please lead five thousand Sichuan soldiers to support Hanzhong."

Fu Zonglong nodded and said: "Yes, I am going to take charge of the army myself and send 2 people out of Sichuan to reinforce Hanzhong."

"Governor Fu, do you know what you're talking about?" Chen Tingmo was a little anxious, and this was not his fault alone.

"I've made up my mind. He Jinzhao doesn't pay attention to me, Fu Zonglong. This time, I have to hurt him so that he can remember not to provoke me."

Fu Zonglong flicked his sleeves and said, "Instead of praying for the enemy not to come and hurt me, it's better to fight a few times with real swords and guns, so that He Jinzhao will be afraid."

"You are really stubborn!"

Chen Tingmo also flung his sleeves and walked away,

He had to report this matter to the emperor immediately. It was Fu Zonglong who went his own way and had nothing to do with me.

Seeing Chen Tingmo leave, Fu Zonglong said to Zhao Guangrui:

"Lead 5000 troops as the vanguard, and you can set off. I will send reinforcements for a day before setting off."

"The last general takes orders."

　It's a holiday, I hope everyone will be healthy and healthy in the new year, with good health and normal body temperature.
