Wang Zezhi took a bath and slept after arranging the things in the village, and because he had not slept well for many days, he slept until noon.

"My lord, there is a matter that my subordinates have dealt with privately, please punish my lord."

Outside the door of Wang Zezhi's room, Shan Tongshan bowed ninety times and came to ask for sin.

"What?"

"Bai Zhangtang risked death to send the news that the displaced people of Yuxian County will gather more than 10,000 people to attack the village at dawn tomorrow.

The subordinate Guan has made proper arrangements and has not bothered the adult.

The subordinates were worried that the villagers of Erlidi would be affected, so they ordered Xiong Jiachang to inform the villagers to go to Shouyang City to avoid trouble.

According to Xiao Liuzi's report, at present, Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shanxi, is stationed in Shouyang with 8,000 elite soldiers, and Shouyang is quite stable.

In addition, a disaster relief team came at noon, carrying disaster relief money and food to rest in Shouyang City. ”

Wang Zezhi washed his face unhurriedly, wiped his hands after washing his face, and said: "You are a staff officer, what about these things, you handle these things very well, know the proportions, and have a good grasp." ”

Shan Tongshan was very particular about his speech, first saying that he was wrong and what was wrong, then talking about his arrangement, and finally talking about Xiao Liuzi's information.

"Your Excellency praised it."

Wang Zezhi rubbed his hands, took two steps forward, and suddenly turned his head to look at Shan Tongshan.

"I have made a mistake on my part to have taken you as a counselor and have never given you any real power.

In this way, I will give you the right to make decisions on the spot, and you can arrange everything in the village, and as for the dispatch of troops, you need to hold my order. ”

Wang Zezhi patted him on the shoulder, walked to the head of the village gate and observed.

Shan Tongshan looked at Wang Zezhi's back and pondered, and he found that what Wang Zezhi said was to praise him first and then reward him.

Connected to another meaning, Wang Zezhi was blaming him and privately appointed Xiong Jiachang.

Xiong Jiachang is in charge of the head of the hundred people, and you said that you will send it to me, which does not reassure Wang Zezhi.

As a staff officer, he must know how to be measured, and Wang Zezhi did not give him the power to dispatch troops, so he could not dispatch troops.

Shan Tongshan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and he listened to Wang Zezhi's two simple words, and he actually felt frightened.

"My lord, it's really extraordinary."

Wang Zezhi touched his chin and thought for a moment, then returned to the room to change into the guerrilla general's armor.

"Someone, hurry up and send this letter to Lord Geng, the county seat of Shouyang County."

"Order."

Wang Zezhi wrote a letter to Geng Ruqi in his capacity as a guerrilla general at Yanmen Pass, which roughly said.

He exterminated the bandits entrenched in the Black Tiger Village, and now, he led his soldiers to be stationed in the Black Tiger Village.

He heard that the displaced people of Yu County occupied Yu County, and this group of displaced people gathered as bandits, wreaked havoc in the township, and killed the magistrate of Yu County and other civil officials and military generals to rebel.

Wang Zezhi was deeply saddened when he heard this.

So he decided to use the Black Tiger Village as a bait to lure the displaced people from Yuxian County to attack.

The terrain of the Black Tiger Village is dangerous, easy to enter and difficult to get out, as long as the displaced people are lured in, it is basically a turtle in the urn, a dead end.

Wang Zezhi needed Geng Ruqi to cut off the back road of the Yuxian homeless people from behind when the homeless army fell into the Black Tiger Village, and wipe out the Yuxian homeless people.

"Do you understand the contents of the letter?"

In the county office, Geng Ruqi gathered the soldiers of each battalion together and believed in Wang Zezhi's book.

"My lord, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of this letter, please be cautious."

Zhang Honggong looked at the letter with a little puzzlement, he didn't remember when there was a guerrilla general in Yanmen Pass.

Zhang Honggong took a closer look at the seal, which had a special texture that only high-ranking sergeants could distinguish.

"There's nothing wrong with this seal."

"Ahem... This governor confirms that there is no falsehood in the letter. ”

Wang Zezhi knew about buying officials, after all, he was the governor of a province.

In fact, this buying official was also allowed by the imperial court, and the Ming Dynasty first began with Zhu Qiyu, who was known as Daizong in history.

At that time, no matter how many officials were bought, they only bought the qualifications for appointment and could not actually take office.

The purchased official is called a loose official in the official system, but it is just a fictitious title without an assigned position.

If you want to actually hold an official position, you can buy the status of a national prince and eunuch through the system of Shangmanasu, wait for the imperial court to confer an official, or use this status to participate in the imperial examination.

The main reason why Zhu Qiyu implemented the system of going to Mana Su was that the border war was far from over at that time, and the military expenditure was huge, but the central government could not make ends meet.

He had to find a way to make money.

Selling official positions has become the best way for the state to collect money and grain.

As soon as this opening was opened, almost all the later emperors learned to do it, and as soon as the treasury ran out of money, as soon as the border food and salary were not settled, and when there was a famine in the locality, they would do so.

In the second year of the Ming Dynasty, there was a famine in Nanjing and its surroundings, and the local government officials wrote to the capital to sell the righteous officials to raise food for disaster relief.

In the last years of the Apocalypse, natural disasters were rampant, the eunuch cholera government was in power, the Tatars and Houjin were eyeing the outside of the Guan, and the displaced people were everywhere in the Guan.

The finances of the imperial court are even more than enough to make ends meet, so Chongzhen also acquiesced in the resale of official positions.

The emperor acquiesced, Geng Ruqi was the governor, and where was there a reason to refuse.

"The Admiral knows."

As soon as Geng Ruqi opened his mouth, Zhang Honggong understood the reason, bowed back and stopped talking.

"This governor knows that you are worried about whether this guerrilla general in Yanmen Pass has real ability, after all, there are tens of thousands of displaced people.

As far as I know, this black tiger village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, during the apocalypse, the Taiyuan prefect once led a thousand soldiers to exterminate, never wanted to suffer heavy losses, and returned with a feather.

This Yanmen Pass guerrilla attack can take the Black Tiger Village, and there must be some ability. ”

When Geng Ruqi said this, he folded Wang Zezhi's letter neatly and put it away.

Positive color channel.

"This governor has an order, all the soldiers go to bed early tonight, sleep well, and recharge their energy.

Get up before the fifth watch tomorrow, eat half a catty of mutton and three flatbreads per person, and open them at the time of the morning.

This county is thirty miles away from Heihu Village, and it should be around noon when it arrives.

If after arriving, the Black Tiger Village still has not fallen, then all the ministries will rest in concealment and wait for most of the displaced people to enter the Black Tiger Village.

During the period, those who go out without authorization will be killed! ”

Geng Ruqi drew his sword, stepped down from the first seat, and continued.

"If the Black Tiger Village has fallen by the time the army arrives, the governor will fire three cannons.

With this as a number, you can enter the Black Tiger Village. ”

Speaking of this, Geng Ruqi raised his sword up, reflecting a cold light.

"When besieging the Black Tiger Village, you must convey the order of this governor.

It is to convey to every soldier, more than 8,000 soldiers, and you have to convey it to me.

What will you say, prick up your ears and hear?

After you enter the Black Tiger Village, you see a man killing a man, whether it is a homeless person or a bandit, no one remains.

Why is that?

These people are now thieves, turn around, turn into ordinary people, and raise their arms and shout again as thieves.

Surrender and rebellion, rebellion and surrender, the cycle repeats, endless.

Daming was corrupted by this group of homeless people, so Wang Er of Shaanxi is a lesson from the past, do you understand? ”

"Understood."

Geng Ruqi's biggest worry is that Shanxi also has a second king, and in order to prevent future troubles, he has to kill all the homeless people.

Who is Wang Er?

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, famine occurred in northern Shaanxi and Weibei for many years.

There was no rain for a long time, the grass and trees were scorched, the villagers fled, and the road was carried by starvation.

The Ming Dynasty not only did not reduce taxes and save people's lives, but continued to increase the number of servitudes, strictly ordered officials to supervise taxes, and the peasants "had exhausted their skin and bones, and they could not save their lives".

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the starving people were urgent, and everyone was angry, wanting to oppose the exploitation of the rich and resist the expropriation of officials in order to survive.

In July of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the famine became more and more serious, coupled with the raging epidemic, many people died, and "the grass and trees were exhausted, and people cannibalized".

The officials looted and urged the levy even more, when the Baishui peasant Wang Er, gathered hundreds of victims, planted a flag to revolt in Baishui County, opening the prelude to the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The rebel army operated swords and weapons, and the rebel army fought in Chengcheng, which was severely affected by the famine.

When he went to Chengcheng County, Wang Er shouted: "Who dares to kill Zhixian?" The crowd responded in unison: "I dare to kill!" He shouted three times in a row, and everyone shouted in unison.

Wang Erzhi's army was united, that is, he led the crowd to attack the county seat, killed Zhang Douyao, the county governor, and after opening a warehouse to help the people, he feared that the officials and troops would be surrounded and retreated to the north of the Luohe River in Baishui County.

In the north of Luohe, with the army starving the people gradually increased, the momentum grew stronger, so he turned to fight in various parts of Weibei, attacked the city and captured the village, beheaded the evil officials, fought the rich and helped the poor, and the people supported it.

Wang Er's rebel army grew rapidly, which frightened the Ming Dynasty and sent officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress.

Wang Eryi's army defeated the official army in the first battle, and at this time, many hungry people and some deserters of the Ming Dynasty also joined the uprising, and the rebel army expanded to thousands of people, becoming a major problem for the imperial court in Shaanxi.

"My lord, the last general heard that this Black Tiger Village bullied the merchants in Yu County, but all those who went to Yu County to do business would have their money and goods confiscated, so it is inferred that there must be many people in the Black Tiger Village, and the men in this Black Tiger Village..."

Chief soldier Zhang Honggong pondered for a while, stepped forward and said tentatively.

"This governor said that the Black Tiger Village has fallen, and you can only go to war with the cannon as the number."

As soon as Geng Ruqi heard it, he knew that Zhang Honggong was worried that the imperial court would not be able to pay the salary, so he began to fight the idea of the Black Tiger Village.

"The last general commands."

Zhang Honggong's face was overjoyed when he heard this reply, this can't be said too clearly, after all, Wang Zezhi is still a guerrilla general in the imperial court, even if it is a false position, he can't kill him.

However, if Wang Zezhi died at the hands of the exiles, then no one else would be to blame, and he could only be blamed for his own lack of strength.

As long as Wang Ze dies in battle, they will be able to collect the money and food in the Black Tiger Village openly.

The generals in the yain were ordered to withdraw and went to give the order.

"Mr. Zhang's question is very good, and this standard is very true."

The standard commander of the Fubiao camp saluted Zhang Honggong with a fist and said with admiration.

"Where, where, this general soldier is just saying the doubts in his heart."

Zhang Honggong replied humbly.

"I have heard that the person who bought this guerrilla general is a person who has been raised in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and the list is the same.

According to the knowledge of this standard, although Shan Tongshan is a lifter, he does not want to serve the court, but resists taxes and molests women from good families, and he has been stripped of his fame. ”

When Zhang Honggong heard this, his eyes rolled, he didn't know these news.

Fubiao Yingbiao can know, that's because these people are Geng Ruqi's henchmen, so they can naturally understand some news that he doesn't know.

Biao Tong released this news at this time, which was Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it.

"In this way, I'm afraid that all the people in this Black Tiger Village are either bandits or anti-thieves?"

Zhang Honggong asked.

"Exactly."

"Then when you go to war, you can let go of your hands and feet, as for these bandits and thieves..."

Zhang Honggong said this, stretched out his hand and wiped his neck, the two looked at each other and smiled, and said no more.
