"Let's be appeased. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

It was still the yamen, or the gathering of those generals, the still the miserable face that was helpless, and the panicked and gloomy atmosphere enveloped the hearts of everyone in the Xuanda Governor's Mansion, making them unable to calm their hearts for a long time.

Zhang Zongheng is also unable at the moment, the governor of Shaanxi trilateral summoned the day before yesterday, Yanning Town to appease the thief god Yikui rebellion, the momentum is huge, said fifty or sixty thousand people who dare to die, the army of Qin dare not be the enemy, so he urgently issued a military order to summon Cao Wenzhao Xingye to lead the army out of Jin and return to Qin, suppress the rebels, Cao Wenzhao was the chief soldier of Linzhao, and he should obey the moderation of the trilateral governor, so he returned to the division in the starry night.

But when he left, the soldiers and horses from all walks of life who were originally gathered were suddenly blinded, they originally tried to use the army to go straight to the city of Yangqu and fight a decisive battle with the main force of the thief army, and what they relied on was nothing more than the elite two thousand horse team under Cao Wenzhao, as soon as he withdrew, the rest of the troops did not dare to continue to advance, and no one could be sent to death in vain, right?!

Zhang Zongheng saw that the generals of all the departments asked to stop the march almost at the same time, and knew that as soon as Cao Wenzhao left, even if he strictly ordered them to continue to advance, no one would pay attention to him, so he could only reluctantly recall all the people from all walks of life, so as not to give the thief army an opportunity to take advantage of.

However, the matter of Yangqu should finally come up with a solution in the near future, and the princes of the imperial court have been waiting for the good news of their own family.

"Your Excellency the Governor, there are hundreds of thousands of thieves in the army, once they are appeased, where will the money and food be placed? If according to the order of the imperial court, the local people are asked to raise their own funds, dare to ask where the money and food come from? Isn't it called forcing the whole province to rebel? ”

This is naturally said very seriously, and I can't help but call the civil officials and military generals on both sides of the public hall to look sideways, but only look at the person who spoke, and suddenly it became clear that this prince was the former deputy envoy of Shandong according to the Changping Military Preparation Road, and he was the deputy envoy of the Changping Military Reserve Road in Shandong.

Everyone remembered that he was a famous local family and a former colleague, so they respected him very much, and secretly thought that he was worthy of being a master who played to the court a few years ago and called him to strictly guard against the escape of the homeless, but now he pointed out the most difficult part of the appeasement.

That is, the official position is easy to give, an empty name, the court is forced by the current situation, pinching the nose and giving it, anyway, when the hands are free, the court should go all out to suppress this group of thieves who do not know the height of the sky, but the thieves insist that it is not 300,000 taels of silver, 500,000 stone grain, this is not a small amount, you must know that in Shanxi Province, the annual salary is only more than 200,000.

(Liao, suppression, practice three salaries, the imperial court quota to Shanxi in about 220,000 taels, in essence according to the imperial history, received more than one million.) ）

These money and grain are the total amount of the four years of the Yamen of Shanxi's political envoy, and most of this tax is called transportation to Beijing, even if a few are left, it is also called the upper and lower hands, and those who can be used in practice are probably called one or two out of ten, otherwise the degree of cholera of the thieves will not get worse.

Therefore, this batch of money and grain, unless the imperial court is willing to bear it in full, otherwise Shanxi Town will definitely not be able to take it out, even if it is one-tenth, Shanxi Town will not be able to take it out, a few generals, who doesn't know what the situation is now? I'm afraid that Zhang Zongheng can have 20,000 taels of silver and a few thousand stones of grain in his hands, but in the officialdom, how dare he say this.

That is, an official like Yao Jizhong, who has no scruples in his heart, dares to tell the truth, but this is easy for him to say, but no one dares to take it easily, after all, everyone present, no matter how stupid they are, do not dare to rashly accuse the Governor of the Governor of the Throne, offending the Tiger Wei is quite light, if it provokes the anger of the Governor, it is not a joke.

"If you don't appease and continue to let the thief sit big, then you don't need the court to ask for the guilt, and I should die of shame." Zhang Zongheng did not answer the words of Yao Jizhong directly, but got up first, saluted to the northeast direction where the Forbidden City of Shuntianfu was located, and only sat back on the Zhengyin throne after a while, and said in a deep voice, "Princes, listen to me, now, the people of Jin have reached the point where there is no place to stand, if the thieves continue to wreak havoc, I am afraid that we will not need the work of March, we should reunite in the prisoner camp of the thieves!" ”

After speaking, he sneered directly at the generals below, if these bastards were willing to do their best, they would have settled down a long time ago, how could they make the thieves arrogant? Speaking of which, isn't it because these rice buckets are delayed? A group of eight lambs, really call themselves pretending to be blind? I don't know what the battalions did to eat, take, and ask for soldiers' salaries?!

Yes, today's Zhang Zongheng is already full of resentment, since the defeat of Xuanda Wei Yunzhong in Baode, his own governor of Datong was promoted to the governor of Xuanda, and the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi Town continued to suppress bandits.

Xuanfu, Datong soldiers and horses, although in the register of one or two hundred thousand elite, but he has been the governor of Datong for a long time, where the details are not clear, if there is a sufficient amount of food and salary guarantee, Datong Town will be able to dispatch more than 10,000 horse troops, infantry army of 350,000 people, only called out of Datong, along the Taiyuan Mansion south, just afraid that the displaced people can not hold on for a moment, can be pacified.

However, the imperial court did not give money and food, and the second was to increase taxes, resulting in soldiers in Jin and no food, and all departments had no fighting spirit, and most of the thieves were clamoring head-on, and they did not fight with them at all, only asking the thieves to discard the heavy gold and silver bribes, and then let the thieves leave.

It's a pity that Zhang Zongheng saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about these situations, who called the reality that this is the case, fighting thieves, protecting the territory and the people, you still have to rely on these military ruffians.

In this way, his heart was depressed, and the words he said were like a shock, which made the hearts of everyone in the hall tremble, how could the governor be so worried in his heart?!

You Shilu even stepped forward in person, and said with a worried and puzzled face, "Why is the production like this?" ”

"Huh." Zhang Zongheng only sighed, but he refused to say a word, and some generals got up to accuse and plead, so he could only say leisurely, "Shanxi Town has now come to the end of the road, if you can't appease this thief army within dozens of days, then the north and south can't defend it, and then lose Pingyang, Fenzhou, where can I stand on it?" ”

These words suddenly made the generals look at each other silently, how could they not know the current situation, a Shanxi, the people are only millions, and now there are four or five thieves in ten, there are more thieves than the people, there are thieves everywhere, the officers and soldiers are alone, and they are no longer opponents at all, so, where is the future!
