Hong Chengchou listened, silent, just glanced at these thieves on the north bank of the Yellow River. Basically, they are just old and weak, and they are allowed to be slaughtered, without the slightest intention of resisting. It's also a little late, otherwise it will be much easier to attack halfway, and there will be no burden to kill them all.

But now, these people are more difficult to do. According to the Governor's wishes, these thieves must be taken in and pacified. However, there is not much food in the first place, and these useless people keep it and pay for food. It's really better to give your subordinate generals more combat merits, not only to solve the food problem, but also to increase morale.

"Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!" Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sigh after looking at it for a while.

When his generals heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and when they were about to thank him, they heard Hong Chengchou say: "Have you heard of Zunhua and Yongping?" ”

The generals were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know why Zhongcheng suddenly pulled away.

Ma Shilong abandoned the people of Zunhua and was imprisoned for questioning. For the sake of those old and weak, the emperor not only sent troops to rescue them, but even limited food in the whole city of Beijing, and did his best to save them. Hong Chengchou said to them, "If today's matter reaches the imperial court, whoever starts will be Ma Shilong's second, believe it or not?" ”

As soon as he heard this, these generals under him hesitated. However, they thought about it, northern Shaanxi is so far away from Beijing, and this mountain is far away from the emperor, so if you kill it, you will kill it, right?

Hong Chengchou looked at the generals around him with flickering eyes, how could he not know their thoughts, so he said again: "We can plant spies among the thieves, can you say that we don't have factory guards in Yansui?" So, don't think you can hide it from the emperor! ”

He didn't dare to kill these people, he was afraid that it was not Yang He, the governor of the three sides, but the emperor who was far away in Beijing! Because even if the Governor knew about it, there was nothing he could do, after all, he needed to suppress the bandits for him.

"Take them all to Guyuan and leave them to the governor!" Hong Chengchou issued a cold-blooded order, and then sighed, "If the thief jumps into Jindi, this official will definitely be impeached, waiting for a lawsuit!" ”

Seeing that Lord Zhongcheng was in a bad mood, the generals under him didn't dare to say anything. As a result, they were not in a good mood. Turn your head and look at those thieves, if you are escorted to Guyuan, I don't know how many people will survive?

At this moment, a fast horse came galloping in the distance, and when he arrived at Hong Chengchou's side, he rolled the saddle and fell off his horse, and said loudly: "Report to Lord Cheng, the imperial court sent to escort the military salary, please go back immediately to receive the order!" ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone's faces were happy, and the word "military salary" was as refreshing and exciting as chicken blood.

Hong Chengchou was also happy, he didn't expect the military salary promised before to come down so quickly. So, he did not delay any longer, and immediately led the army back. As for the thieves, they were escorted by the infantry troops.

In the important town of Yulin, the lobby of the governor's yamen is neatly placed with wooden boxes. Above and below the hall, there were full of Jinyi Guard captains and Dongchang soldiers holding the hilt of their swords, and the original Yansui soldiers could only take a back seat.

However, these soldiers were not dissatisfied in the slightest, but they were all very excited, and they didn't even have the military discipline that Hong Chengchou showed at the time, and they whispered from time to time.

"This time I really have to have a military salary, hehe, it's really rare!"

"That's right, since the third year of the Apocalypse, there has been basically no military salary, it's really not easy to wait!"

"But didn't you find that there shouldn't be much silver taels in these boxes, right?"

"Be content, it's good to have a military salary!"

“……”

I don't know how long it took, Hong Chengchou finally arrived, and the angel accompanied by the officials left behind by the governor's yamen immediately began to read the holy decree.

As previously announced, this is to send military salaries. In addition, the local government in Shaanxi was required to concentrate manpower on the construction of water conservancy projects under the overall planning of high-ranking officials with military and political powers, such as the governor and the governors of various prefectures. For example, Zhengguo Canal, Bai Canal, Chengguo Canal, etc., as well as the promotion of the method of well irrigation, reiterating the importance of drought resistance!

Of course, the famous ditches in Shaanxi are not mainly in northern Shaanxi. However, the decree also made it clear that the migration of the victims was unfavorable, and that manpower should be concentrated to fight the drought in accordance with the principle of fighting drought on the spot.

Hong Chengchou was a little surprised when he heard it, the court was obviously not just talking. The issuance of this will should have been inquired in advance. If this thing can really succeed, it will also be a strategy for the bottom of the Shaanxi people's uprising.

After reading this holy decree, the angel withdrew the rest of the generals, leaving only Hong Chengchou alone, and read a secret decree.

The content of this secret decree surprised Hong Chengchou again. He didn't expect that the imperial court would actually set his sights on the Hetao Plain, and asked him to find a way to find out the situation of the grassland and prepare for the future plot of the Hetao Plain.

When the angel had finished reading the decree, he urged the payment of the salary. In terms of will, the military salary this time is about 3 million taels. That's half of the amount of arrears reported over the years. Watch as the angel commands to open those boxes for handover. Whether it is Hong Chengchou or the generals under him, they are a little surprised, just such a small box can hold three million taels of silver, how much is this drifted, at least more than half, right?

But as soon as the box was opened, Hong Chengchou and the others were surprised. What they saw was not silver taels of white flowers, but small sheets of paper, neatly laid there.

"How is it a Daming treasure banknote? What's the bird for this? I'm gone! "Mi Zhi garrison He Renlong was short-tempered, regardless of the angel's presence, regardless of the factory guards' eyes, regardless of the presence of the officials, he went crazy on the spot!

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he immediately scolded sternly: "Bold, the angel is here, don't be rude!" ”

After drinking and reprimanding, he smiled and said to the angel: "This guy is a madman, a vulgar martial artist, and he also invites a large number of angels, so you don't have to worry about him." ”

After finishing speaking, he glared at He Renlong angrily, forcing He Renlong to reluctantly clench his fists and confess to the angel.

The expected military salary turned out to be just a pile of waste paper. Don't talk about these martial artists, even Hong Chengchou himself is also very dissatisfied. It's just that the angel represents the court and the emperor, and he, as the governor of one party, still has to maintain the majesty of the angel.

Who knew that when the angel and the factory guards on the side heard this, their faces showed a trace of disdain, the kind of contempt for hillbillies. I saw that the angel ignored He Renlong at all, pointed to those boxes and said: "You really don't know the goods, this is not a worthless Daming treasure banknote, this is a real Ming banknote that can be exchanged." Anyone, as long as they take this Daming banknote to the central bank of Daming, can exchange back the amount of silver indicated on the banknote. ”

Seeing the bewildered look of these Shaanxi people, the sense of superiority on the angel's face became even stronger, "Let me tell you, now in Beijing, these banknotes are more popular than silver two." There are also many discounts when you buy things with paper money in Kyoto, or when you go to an inn or restaurant. ”

Who let Yansui's Qinwang army collapse halfway through, and the governor of Yansui at that time heard the news and was scared to death on the spot, which made a vacancy and allowed Hong Chengchou to take the position. It is also because of this that a lot of news about the Beijing division is not known here in northern Shaanxi.
