"That's right! Indeed it is. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhao Guohua nodded

After a rough calculation, Ge Li said in surprise: "In this way, you will spend nearly 200,000 taels of silver a month, do you have so much silver?" ”

"It's my business, you just have to think about whether you want to or not." Zhao Guohua said with a smile

Several people looked at each other, and Ma Shouying said, "Since you treat us sincerely, then we will surrender to you." After speaking, the leader has to kneel down and kowtow.

"A few people can't be like this, don't kneel and kowtow in our army, just salute each other." After speaking, Zhao Guohua gave a military salute to the five people with his right hand raised.

Lao Huihui and the other five people also learned unnaturally, and saluted Zhao Guohua with a not very good-looking military salute.

After the military salute, the estrangement between the two sides seemed to have melted a lot at once, Zhao Guohua said with a smile: "Brother Ma, now we are a family, but the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution outside don't know about this yet, do you send any big brother to tell them, and I will also report this matter to Governor Xiong to avoid new misunderstandings between the two sides." ”

After listening to Zhao Guohua's words, Ma Shouying said: "What you said is also right, so let's do it, I will send He Jin and Lin Chengcheng to Jinzhai and Shangcheng County to report this matter, and then send He Yilong and Liu Xiyao to Yinghuo Mountain to inform the brothers left behind, what do you think?" ”

"Okay. I don't have an opinion, just follow Brother Ma's arrangement. Zhao Guohua said briskly.

"You're not afraid that we'll take the opportunity to escape?" Ge Li said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Glancing at him, Zhao Guohua said lightly: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, I believe in a few people, I have explained the truth to a few people, if a few people still take the opportunity to escape, then it can only prove that I think highly of you." ”

"Good! Just a few words to you, and I will follow you in the fifth battalion of the left. Ge Li said loudly and loudly.

After taking Lao Huihui and the other five people out of the prison and arranging to live in the pavilion of the county government, Zhao Guohua wrote a letter and asked Liu Xiangdong to fly the pigeon to pass Xiong Wencan.

On this day, Sun Chuanting was handling official business in the governor's yamen, and the deputy general Luo Shangwen came in to report: "My lord, Wu Dading has reported that since the scorpion block Tuoyangkun surrendered to our army, he has been dissatisfied and complained. often mutters with his henchman Huang Chao"

"Oh? Tell me, what are the complaints? Sun Chuanting raised his head and asked.

Glancing at Sun Chuanting, Luo Shangwen said: "This person dislikes the poor food when he eats, he doesn't have wine and meat, and he doesn't sleep with a woman." ”

With a "snap", Sun Chuanting took the case and said angrily: "This thief should be killed, the person who surrendered dared to make such a shameless request, it was really an old birthday star who hanged himself - he was afraid of a long life." You go and pass Tuoyangkun and Huang Chao,"

"Yes!" Luo Shangwen agreed, bowed and went out.

Scorpion block Tuoyangkun and henchman Huang Chao were talking about the happy things of being a groom night and night when they used to be rogues in the camp, and when they heard that Sun Chuanting was summoned, the two were startled, but they didn't dare not go, the two glanced at each other, and had to follow Luo Shangwen to the governor's yamen.

When they came to the lobby, they saw that Sun Chuanting was correcting the official documents, and the two hurriedly knelt down and reported: "I have seen Master Sun in Huangchao. ”

Sun Chuanting continued to correct the official document without raising his head. Without permission, the two did not dare to get up, so they had to continue to kneel on the ground.

After kneeling for a pillar of incense, Sun Chuanting raised his head, as if he had just found Tuo Yangkun and Huang Chao kneeling below, and hurriedly said with a smile: "This official is busy with official business, I don't know that General Tuo and General Huang are coming, please forgive me!" Forgiveness! ”

"Don't dare! Can't! Adults are busy with official business, and young generals dare not disturb. Tuoyang Kun said with a smile.

He said so on his lips, but he was scolding in his heart: "Sun Chuanting of the dog day, Lao Tzu was also a person who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in the past, especially in the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636), the number was even higher than Gao Yingxiang, and now you have surrendered to you, but you are so sloppy and humiliating Lao Tzu." Wait for Lao Tzu to find an opportunity to pull the team out and live the free life of Lao Tzu Grass King. ”

After carefully observing the two of them for a while, Sun Chuanting said: "General Tuo, there is a report from Malay today, and the thieves are gathering in the area of Hangu Pass, obviously planning to capture Hangu Pass, I ordered you to lead the team to assist in the town guard, are you willing?" ”

Hearing that Li Zicheng was in the area of Hangu Pass, Tuoyangkun was overjoyed, knowing that the opportunity to rebel again had come, so he forcibly suppressed the joy, looked up at Sun Chuanting, and said loudly: "I am willing to serve the adult, and I will defeat the thief." ”

Sun Chuanting is such a person, his eyes are sharp, he has already seen the joy that flashed on Tuo Yangkun's face, and he knew that Tuo Yangkun was going to find an opportunity to rebel again, so he made up his mind to get rid of him, so he also forced a smile and said: "General Tuo is loyal, this official knows, when you defeat the thief, this official will definitely ask for credit for you." ”

"Master Xie, we will go all out to defeat the thief." Tuoyangkun falsely confessed loudly.

Out of the governor's yamen, back to his camp, Tuoyangkun called for wine and food, and Huang Chao drank with the two, drinking and scolding: "Sun Chuanting of the dog day, want Lao Tzu and Li Zicheng to kill each other, think of the beauty, Lao Tzu is not in his case, and when Lao Tzu arrived at Hangu Pass, he united Li Zicheng to attack inside and outside, captured Hangu Pass, and then led troops into Xi'an, and destroyed him Sun Chuanting, only to relieve the hatred in Lao Tzu's heart." ”

After eating and drinking, Tuoyangkun passed Wu Dading in, dictated a letter to contact Li Zicheng, and after Wu Dading wrote the letter, Tuoyangkun sealed the letter, and sent someone to Hanguguan to contact Li Zicheng.

After leaving the camp, Wu Dading used the excuse of having a headache and wanted to go out to buy medicine, so he passed the news to Luo Shangwen.

Luo Shangwen reported the news to Sun Chuanting again, and after hearing the news that Tuoyangkun was going to rebel, Sun Chuanting said: "Stabilize him first, and then kill him when you reach Hangu Pass, where the terrain is dangerous, and you are not afraid that his subordinates will flee, and all the rogue who has accumulated years will be killed." ”

After listening to Sun Chuanting's arrangement, Luo Shangwen arranged to go.

After receiving the good news that Zhao Guohua had subdued Lao Huihui and others, Xiong Wencan happily said: "Okay! Good! Good! The whole army of the fifth battalion of the revolutionary left did not suffer much loss and surrendered to the government, this thing is done so beautifully, I really don't know how Zhao Guohua did it, I want to report this good news to the imperial court, ask for credit for Zhao Guohua, by the way, and the merit of Mr. is also reported. After speaking, Xiong Wencan began to write a meritorious performance.

Under the reports of He Jin, the king of Zuojin, Lin Yangcheng, the king of the world, Liu Xiyao, the king of the world, and He Yilong, the hundreds of thousands of Hui Han soldiers and their families in the fifth battalion of the left side of the revolution knew about the matter of surrendering to the government, and most of them did not object, but there were still some people who were unwilling to surrender, and with the consent of Zhao Guohua, Lao Huihui let these three or five thousand people go. In order to ensure their safety, Zhao Guohua also sent Cheng Chong to lead troops to send these people to a safe area, and when they separated, they also gave each of them two taels of silver for travel expenses and some rice, flour, grain and grass.

After distributing the travel expenses and rice, flour, grain and grass, Cheng Chong said: "Brothers, you go all the way, our captain said, if you figure it out, you are welcome to come back." ”

When the 100 soldiers sent by the 5th Battalion of Gezuo to send these people back and reported the matter to Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying and the other five people, Ma Shouying and the others were stunned for a moment, and after a while, Liu Xiyao, the king of the ruling world, sighed and said: "This Zhao Guohua's way of acting is extraordinary, and it is indeed worthy of our service to him." ”

"He treats me with sincerity, and I treat him with my heart." Lao Hui Ma Shouying glanced around at the other four people, and said slowly, and the other four also nodded solemnly.

Therefore, with the cooperation of Lao Huihui and other five people, Zhao Guohua counted a total of 85,000 soldiers in the Fifth Battalion, excluding those under the age of 50 and under 16, and recruited 20,000 people from them in accordance with the recruitment requirements of the loyal and brave troops, and the remaining 53,000 people were responsible for growing grain and vegetables, raising cattle and sheep, and collecting medicine and fishing.

The name of the logistics team is the Dabie Mountain Production and Construction Corps.

After accounting, he needed 200,000 taels of silver per month, and there was no way, Zhao Guohua had to ask for silver from the chemical workshop in his hometown in Jiangxi.

So he sent Zhang Shun, Niu Huan and Lu Qing back to Yongxin County to raise money. But when the silver was not shipped back, he had to borrow money temporarily from the rich households in Macheng County and Shangcheng County in Jinzhai County, and the rich families did not dare not borrow it, so he raised 400,000 taels of silver, and finally solved the urgent need.

After dinner that day, in the Qianqing Palace in Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen was reviewing the folds from all over the country, since the use of Yang Sichang as the secretary of the military department, it seems that the momentum of the Liukou has weakened, and now there is Zu Dashou in Liaodong to guard, Xuanda has Lu Xiangsheng, Jin and Shaanxi have Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, Jianghuai, Hubei, Henan, and Anhui have Xiong Wencan, these are the capable ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and they should be able to deal with those rogues, and when the rogues are eliminated, they can recuperate and recuperate for a few years, and then they can send troops to recruit the Tartars of Liaodong.

Thinking of these, Chongzhen's mood was much better, and the speed of reviewing and folding became happier. Suddenly, a report of victory attracted his attention, and a closer look at Xiong Wencan's was Xiong Wencan's, and the fold read: "Minister Xiong Wencan bows to Your Majesty, since he was ordered to suppress thieves, the minister has worked hard and worked hard to plan, and then the soldiers have used their lives, under the pressure of our army, the whole army of the fifth battalion of the left left surrendered, and the thrilling process is difficult to describe......

After reading Xiong Wencan's report, Chongzhen happily said to the eunuch Wang Chengen beside him: "Great, the whole army of the fifth battalion of the left side surrendered, this victory is too surprising, how did Zhao Guohua do this......
