Hong Chengchou received the emperor's decree from the capital, and to his surprise, the style of the emperor's decree changed greatly, neither praise nor reprimand, but a complete battle plan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Hong Chengchou was very uncomfortable with this change in Emperor Chongzhen's literary style.

"What do you think about that? Hong Chengchou asked Zhang Shaotang, the master who had just read the holy decree.

"I see that there are people in Shanxi who can go straight to heaven and listen, and someone has reported the situation of the thieves in Shanxi to the emperor in detail. The emperor thought that it was not good for us to suppress the thieves, and although he did not issue an order to reprimand us, this direct and remote command of our military operations also revealed his dissatisfaction. We must act according to the Emperor's will. It's just that I don't know who this person is reporting to the emperor. Zhang Shaotang felt the seriousness of the matter and couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Everyone in the officialdom of Shanxi is in the same boat, and the matter of the thieves is reported to the emperor so clearly, we will not have the room to be flexible in the future, this is not good for everyone, who will do this?" This matter even worries Hong Chengchou more than the thieves he will face.

"I'm afraid that the people who are only afraid of the report will keep reporting our every move to the emperor next, so that we will be passive, and the efforts of the ministers for decades have tied the hands and feet of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, so that everyone is no longer under the emperor's constant surveillance. Hopefully, this is only the personal behavior of a few people in the officialdom who want to climb the ladder. Zhang Shaotang thinks more long-term than Hong Chengchou.

"If you continue to divide it, in the future, the people in the governor's yamen must be more careful in their work, and even to other officials, do not divulge secrets. You can't let people grab the handle, and at the same time send someone to secretly investigate who is most likely to do such a thing. This time, we must act strictly according to the emperor's will, and maybe the emperor is still waiting for the person who made the small report to report on our actions. This kind of villain who secretly does things is really hateful. Hong Chengchou always has the feeling that he has stripped naked and been peeked at.

"I'll arrange it, but now the power of the thief leader king in Henan is not small, and if you want to exterminate them, you need to gather people from all over the country." Zhang Shaotang looked at the holy decree in his hand and found that the place where Wang Ziyong was written on it was now not far from the number of thieves gathered and the number of thieves in the hands of the officials and soldiers, it seemed that this battle was going to be fought in earnest.

"According to the time limit required by the holy decree, it is still too late, this expedition will bring both the firearms battalion and the artillery battalion, let them slowly hone on the battlefield, the opponent is not the security army, and they may be able to achieve good results against ordinary thieves. This battle must be fought well, and the result of the battle will definitely reach the Beijing division sooner than our twists and turns. You will send someone to the capital with Yinliang to check it out and see who is making trouble in it. Hong Chengchou decided to take advantage of the opportunity of the war to lure the snake out of the hole.

Zhang Chu showed great benevolence and righteousness this time, and wrote a letter to Wang Ziyong, explaining that the target of the official army assembling should be Wang Ziyong, so that Wang Ziyong could be prepared.

Wang Ziyong, who received Zhang Chu's letter, was very dissatisfied with Zhang Chu's statement. Because now that he has run to Henan, it is not the jurisdiction of the trilateral governor at all, your kid beat Hong Chengchou in Yuncheng, occupied the Yellow River crossing, and turned around and snatched all Hong Chengchou's craftsmen. Hong Chengchou slowed down and didn't clean up who would you clean up, and he was still here to remind everyone to take precautions, you think everyone is a fool. However, it is necessary to take precautions, and there is a way to be careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship. So the king himself also began to reorganize his army for war.

Now the rebel army has a good reputation for the weapons of the security army, Zhang Chu has fully revealed the quality of a moral businessman in this regard, as long as the people of the rebel army come to buy weapons, Zhang Chu will treat them all equally, never attach any conditions, the security army here not only has high-quality cold weapons, if the customer is willing to pay a large price, but also can buy the artillery eliminated by the security army.

In order to expand his strength, Wang Ziyong also needed a large number of weapons, so Zhang Chu's old acquaintance Wei Xue came to Zhongyang, and at the same time brought Wang Ziyong's reply, Wang Ziyong meant that Zhang Chu should be a little more careful himself.

Wei Xue has not been happy these days, there is a way to be a son of heaven and a courtier, Wei Xue is Wang Jiayin's person, after Wang Jiayin's death, because he has been a little useful in trading with Zhang Chu many times, he was left in Wang's own camp, of course, his status is not as good as before.

Wei Xue saw Zhang Chu, but he didn't know how to open his mouth, so he couldn't come up and say that Wang Ziyong received Zhang Chu's letter and thought that Zhang Chu should be the first to be beaten by Hong Chengchou, so Zhang Chu should be a little more careful.

Zhang Chu didn't care about it, and was very happy to see Wei Xue: "What does Mr. Wei need to come this time, our production capacity here has increased greatly, and we can meet the demand as much as you want." ”

"I don't understand, why do you like silver so much, isn't it good for everyone to join forces to repel the attack of the officials and troops and punish corrupt officials?" Wei Xue didn't want to talk about business with Zhang Chu, the transaction price between the two sides was basically fixed for many times, and Zhang Chu would not give up profits after talking for a long time. Wei Xue didn't understand what Zhang Chu did, Zhang Chu did almost everything for silver, robbing salt lakes and craftsmen so that he could turn into silver, but he was also a rebel but he was not interested in everyone contacting the official army to fight against the army, and he didn't participate in such a thing as forming an alliance.

"I can't live without money, in fact, having a money addict like me is also good for you. Have you ever thought that if it weren't for me, most of your team would still be fighting with the officers and soldiers with farm tools, and no matter how many people there are, they will be killed. Without me here, you can't exchange your silver for salt and food, and you can't do anything great without a fight. Zhang Chu was very unhappy that Wei Xue objected to him making money.

"Is it true that you said that the official army wants to attack us?" Wei Xue knew that although Zhang Chu loved money, he rarely told lies, Wang Ziyong didn't care about Zhang Chu's warning, but Wei Xue knew that Zhang Chu would not talk nonsense easily.

"Of course it's true, so get ready." Zhang Chu said sincerely.

"What can we do, no matter in terms of weapons or personnel, they are inferior to the officers and soldiers." Wei Xue was not very optimistic about the rebels. Because he has experienced many scenes where the number of rebels far exceeding the official army was chased and killed.

"What can you do, run, you follow my plan to eat up all the way, grab silver and materials, and then exchange them for weapons here, your team will become stronger and stronger, and it will be possible to gain a foothold in a rich place in the future." In the end, if you stabilize it, you may be able to achieve great things. Zhang Chu said the route designed for the rebels.

"What about you, what do you want so much silver for?" Wei Xuexin said, what you said is so good, why don't you grab it yourself.

"There is a division of labor in this world, I can build more factories to produce more weapons if I have silver, and I have so many workers to feed, so I can't live without silver. Without me providing you with material support, you would only be chased by the officers and soldiers and run all over the ground. It can't be a big deal. Zhang Chu clearly knew that the righteous army in history was as strong as Li Zicheng, and because he had no support from the rear, he was defeated very miserably in the end. (To be continued.) )
