July in Zhongyang has become very hot, Zhang Chu can't help but miss the days when there was air conditioning, Li Qiang, Zhang Guo and several other children were silently writing their homework on the side, although their faces were sweaty, no one ran out. These children have grown a lot with Zhang Chu for more than half a year, and they can help Zhang Chu do a lot of things.

A member of the security army walked in and handed Zhang Chu a piece of information, Zhang Chu was relieved after seeing it, and he had been waiting for many days for the matter to finally be implemented.

The intelligence was sent back by Yang Liu's caravan, and the intelligence reported that there was an uprising of displaced people in Fugu County, Shaanxi, and Wang Jiayin led the crowd to gather a few days ago to raise an uprising, and now it has captured the county seat of Fugu, gathering thousands of displaced people.

Zhang Chu has been preparing for this matter these days, but he is not sure whether history has changed, and now it seems that history is still developing according to its own trajectory and has not been affected by Zhang Chu's crossing.

Wang Jiayin, originally a soldier of the nine sides, later had a conflict with the official and fled home, the famine in Shaanxi in these years made him unable to live in his hometown, even had no food, then he made up his mind to rebel, did not expect a hundred responses, soon gathered thousands of people and horses, captured the county town of Fugu, a great victory for a while, the rebels from all sides came to take refuge, at this time the government is unpaid, can not transfer troops to encircle and suppress, there is no way to take him.

Wang Jiayin's uprising is very famous in history, and Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others are under his leadership. So Zhang Chu remembered very well that at the beginning of the year, Zhang Chu sent personnel in the direction of Fugu to pay close attention to the local situation. Wang Jiayin made a move, and the intelligence officers immediately reported to Zhang Chu, but Zhang Chu only got the information a few days late because of the journey.

A few days later, Guo Xiyuan flashed into Zhang Chu's office from outside the door, and saw that only Zhang Chu was the only one in the room and said: "Dashuai, a group of business-looking people came to Zhongyang, led by a middle-aged man, who seemed to be secretive, settled in the hotel, my people followed all the way, through the analysis after the trial, this group of people may be people from Fugu, I don't know what the purpose is in Zhongyang." ”

"Okay, keep an eye on them, don't let them find out, we need to take care of these guests from afar."

Zhang Chu called Yang Biao again: "Pull your team out and walk around the street, you have to have complete armor, artillery or something, and we want to show the guests staying in the Zhongyang Hotel." ”

Yang Biao received the order and prepared to go.

Wei Xue and the others had been staying in the Zhongyang Hotel for three days, and they had been sent by Wang Jiayin from Fugu to Zhongyang. After Wang Jiayin's uprising, the rebels from all over the country went to take refuge, everyone in the spirit of the regiment to keep warm, jointly guarding against the attack of the official army, Wang Jiayin seems to have become the leader of the rebel army, at this time in the extension of the movement of the security army is particularly important, the security army occupies five counties, connecting the two provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi, and has also defeated the official army, and the strength should not be underestimated. At the same time, I heard that Zhang Chu, the leader of the security army, is a person who does not speak of morality, and he is anxious to fight anyone, if he gives a knife to the righteous army in front and behind the righteous army, it will be dangerous. Therefore, Wang Jiayin specially sent his military commander Wei Xue to Zhongyang to meet Zhang Chu for a while, if he could pull Zhang Chu over, it would be better, but if he couldn't do it, he had to say that Zhang Chu should not be the enemy of the righteous army.

Wei didn't rush to find Zhang Chu after learning Zhongyang, but after staying at the Zhongyang Hotel, he walked around, he wanted to see the strength of the security army, and at the same time understand what kind of person Zhang Chu was. He found that Zhang Chu was characterized by greed for money, and the first thing he caught after arriving in Zhongyang was to collect taxes in Zhongyang, and even in several counties other than Zhongyang, he sent people to block the city gate to collect taxes, but Zhang Chu did have money, and there were hundreds of thousands of taels of silver hidden in Zhongyang Bank alone. Zhang Chu seems to be very, and the female boss of Zhongyang Bank seems to have been raised there by him. Today, there is a team of security troops in the city, there are about 1,000 people, the army is well-groomed, well-equipped, not the ordinary rebel army can be compared, the security army is impossible to move all the men and horses together, this may be only a part of the army, it seems that the strength of the security army is very strong. What Wei Xue's visit to Zhongyang all the way shows that in the areas controlled by the security army, the people live a stable life and the economy is prosperous, and the security army still has the potential to grow.

To sum up, Zhang Chu is greedy for money and lustful, but his strength is very strong, and it is unlikely that he will pull the security army over to join Wang Jiayin's team, Zhang Chu's strength is above Wang Jiayin, and it seems that he can only hope that Zhang Chu will not be the enemy of the righteous army. Wei Xue decided to meet this Zhang Chu.

After being informed, Wei Xue was brought to Zhang Chu, Wei Xue was surprised by Zhang Chu's youth, but he didn't expect that in half a year, he occupied five counties and defeated the official army to attack only a young man in his early twenties.

Zhang Chu is also looking at Wei Xue, Si Siwenwen in his forties, he should have read books, this should be regarded as a rare talent in the righteous army, sending such a person to see Zhang Chu, it seems that Wang Jiayin attaches great importance to Zhang Chu, "Mr. came to Zhongyang and didn't know what to advise." Zhang Chu opened his mouth first.

"My name is Wei Xue, I am a subordinate of Wang Jiayin of the Fugu Righteous Army, and now the leader of the king is holding high the banner of righteousness, and the heroes of the Quartet have responded, supporting the leader of the king to discuss the traitors in the court, and the leader of the king knows that you hate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and have defeated the official army many times, so I sincerely invite you to join the righteous army." Wei Xue said as he observed Zhang Chu's reaction.

After hearing this, Zhang Chu suddenly became happy: "What are the benefits of joining the rebel army, and how much silver can be shared." ”

Wei Xue despised Zhang Chu very much, and did not ask about the situation facing the rebel army now, and second, he did not ask about the position obtained by joining the rebel army, but only cared about how much silver he could. At first glance, he is a short-sighted, money-greedy person, and it's hard to say whether he is lustful or not. Wei Xue's face did not show any performance, and he said very sincerely: "The rebellion of the righteous army is to save the people from fire and water, if you can join, you will definitely be supported by the people, as for the silver taels, capture the official and military treasury, the rich Zhuangzi, and the capture of the king's leader will naturally be fairly distributed." ”

"It's not interesting, what's the use of the people's support, I only care about the silver, and if I seize it, I will divide it as if I were doing it alone, and I can divide it as I want. Mr. Wei can play in Zhongyang for a few more days, and I will order someone to entertain Mr. well. Zhang Chu lost interest in the matter.

"Zhang Dashuai refuses to join the rebel army, can you and I be friendly to each other?" Wei Xue wanted Zhang Chu not to join, and he didn't let him stab him in the back.

"That's fine, I like to make friends. By the way, did you grab a lot of silver by laying down Fugu? Zhang Chu's topic returned to silver.

"There is some silver, but it will be distributed to meritorious soldiers." Wei Xue means that there is silver, and if you don't go, you won't give a penny.

"It's good to have silver, I won't ask for your silver in vain, I have a lot of swords, guns and armor that I don't need, by the way, there is food, do you want food." Zhang Chu's eyes lit up, as if he saw piles of silver.

"We can ask for some." Wei Xue was very calm, but in his heart he was ecstatic, the population of the rebel army had increased greatly, and he needed a lot of weapons and food, it would be great if he could buy it with silver, with food he would have people, and with weapons he could grab more silver.

So the two began a long bargaining process, and finally the two made an agreement satisfied, Wang Jiayin gave silver, and the security army provided weapons and armor food.

Wei Xue immediately wrote a letter to the entourage to bring it to Wang Jiayin, and Wang Jiayin attached great importance to weapons and food, so he immediately sent someone to Zhongyang with silver.

Zhang Chu handed over the weapons collected in the security army to Wei Xue, grinning and counting the silver. Wei Xue watched from the side and thought, what a person with no ambitions, with these weapons and food, he can easily recruit thousands of people, is it difficult to grab such a little silver.

Zhang Chu was very happy and said to Wei Xue: "Okay, this silver is very good, the quality is pure, you will come to me next time you have silver, and I will sell you weapons." ”

"Definitely, definitely, we will cooperate next time." Wei Xue knew that there was a famine in Shaanxi Province, and if he could buy food in Shanxi through Zhang Chu, it would be a good way, so he endured it and did not scold Zhang Chu for profiteers.

After sending Wei Xue away, Zhang Chu put away the smile on his face, and immediately arranged for people to use the silver they received to buy grain in eastern Shanxi, this famine will continue, and the price of grain will rise, and the difference between the price of grain in Shanxi and Shaanxi can earn a lot of silver. Zhang Chu was thinking about his plan to make a fortune.

Unexpectedly, Wei Xuegang left a few days ago, and hurried back to Zhongyang.
