Chapter 119: A dead thief is a good thief

Yulin quickly sent back the news, everything was ready, and asked Zhang Chu to go to receive Yulinwei.

Zhang Chu did not delay, led two thousand elites, and rushed to Yulin City. The team that had just won the battle was high-spirited, and the soldiers walked on the road with great spirit.

The officers and soldiers guarding the Yulin Acropolis saw the banner of the security army, and led by a small flag, lined up at the city gate to welcome the security army into the city.

The security forces marched into the city and began to take over the city defenses in an orderly manner according to the rules of battle.

The soldiers of the city guard station consciously gathered together and waited for the arrangement of the security army. After some time, the news of the security army's entry into the city finally reached the Senhu of the guard. Qianhu hurriedly sent his own soldiers out to inquire about the situation, and the news sent back by the soldiers surprised Qianhu, what is going on with this Zhang Chu, what is he doing with an extended guerrilla attack to Yulin Weilai, and he also took over the city gate.

Qianhu immediately gathered his own guards, and Pegasus hurried towards the city gate.

rushed to the east gate of Yulin City, and sure enough, the guards at the gate had been replaced by security soldiers, and Qianhu and his party were unceremoniously stopped by soldiers with guns. The banner of the security army on the tower of the city gate is flying high, and Zhang Chu must be on the tower of the city gate. Qianhu knows that he can't understand with these soldiers, and he has to find the right master for this matter. Then he shouted: "I want to find your guerrilla lord!" ”

His shouting really worked, and a voice came from the city gate: "Call him up." ”

Qianhu turned over and dismounted, hurriedly ran up to the city tower, and was already out of breath when he got to the top, only to see Zhang Chu on top of the city tower, moved a Taishi chair to sit in the sun, and looked very leisurely in casual clothes. Qianhu didn't even care about etiquette, and stepped forward to ask: "What are you Yanchang County's soldiers doing in our Yulin Guard?" ”

Zhang Chu was not angry, and said lightly: "I came to suppress the bandits on the orders of Lord Zongdu. ”

"This is my Yulin Wei District, there are no thieves, please take people away quickly, otherwise I will show the governor to your superiors and use your troops and horses without permission." Chiho was not intimidated by the guise of the Governor-General.

"Your jurisdiction, can you still mobilize troops? First of all, pay off the wages owed to the soldiers. Zhang Chu's face sank.

Qianhu calmed down and began to think about the current situation, he only brought a few personal soldiers, and the security guards in a row above the city tower were armed with muskets and steel knives on their waists, and the atmosphere seemed to be very unfavorable to him, he immediately changed his tone: "Everything is easy to say, let's go to the governor's brigade together, there is something to discuss, you are busy with yours, I still have to leave in advance." With that, he turned around and walked down the castle tower.

Zhang Chu didn't give him a chance, and ordered the guard: "Take it!" “

The guards came and kicked the panicked Qianhe to the ground, stepped on his neck, and tied him up neatly with a rope.

The soldiers who followed Qianhu had already been pointed at their heads with muskets and did not dare to move. Obediently tied hand and foot with rope. Only one pro-soldier leader remained.

Zhang Chu said to him: "You have committed a crime of deducting military salaries from thousands of households, go and order the officers of more than 100 households in the guard station to gather here, if the order is not reached, I will immediately execute you on behalf of the governor and execute your thousand households on the spot." You have to accompany you too. “

When the leader of the pro-soldiers heard this, he ran to give the order.

After a while, the generals of the Thousand Households gathered together, and what they saw was the Thousand Households who were tied there.

Zhang Chu did not want to talk to them more, so he ordered them to be taken down one by one, announced their crime of deducting soldiers' salaries, confiscated their personal property, and then escorted them to the Yanchang Coal Mine for labor reform along with Qianhu.

The soldiers of Yulinwei ushered in a new life. Zhang Chu used the confiscated generals' property to pay the soldiers, and then reorganized the ranks of the guards, and after screening, the strong soldiers were scattered and incorporated into the ranks of the security army, enjoying the same treatment as the security forces, and those who were weak and unsuitable for fighting were sent to the extended factory, and they were arranged to work on their own.

At the same time, smoke rose from the homes of the soldiers in the guards, and the families finally had enough to eat for the first time in several years. Laughter resounded in Yulin City.

After reorganizing the team, Zhang Chu rearranged the defense of Yulin City, which was originally strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and saved a lot of trouble in the transformation. The cannons pulled from Yanchang were installed at the head of Yulin City, and the Yulin Pass was coupled with sophisticated artillery, and the entire defense line was even more impregnable.

Everything went so smoothly that even Zhang Chu didn't expect it, which saved him a lot of time.

After arranging the defense of Yulin City, Zhang Chu led people back to Fugu. The construction of Fugu needs Zhang Chu, and Wei Xue has come to Zhang Chu again.

After dealing with each other many times, the two of them avoided polite words, and opened their mouths to really get to the point, Wei Xue needed a weapon, which Zhang Chu had promised before. Zhang Chu needs money, and Zhang Chu has always been in the style at this time.

Wang Jiayin defeated the county seat of Hequ, and indeed got a lot of money, and it was very painful to give Zhang Chu and Wei Xue. If you don't give it, you can't do it, and after taking Hequ County, Wang Jiayin's prestige has been greatly boosted, and all the righteous troops from all walks of life have come to take refuge, and the number has reached a terrifying more than 200,000 people, and Hequ County has been demolished, and it is not enough for people to have a wooden stick. Now Wang Jiayin has become the number one enemy of the official army, and the official army is mobilizing men and horses from all over the country to prepare to wipe out the rebel army in the Hequ area, and it is useless to have more people without weapons.

The two of them went back and forth, and began a bargaining struggle, and in the end Wei Xue took out all the money and got a weapon equipped with five thousand men.

Looking at Wei Xue, who was a little disappointed, Zhang Chu comforted: "Don't worry, there is a way that chickens can lay eggs, and eggs hatch chickens, I have a lot of weapons here, you have weapons and you are afraid that there will be no silver, as long as there is silver, I will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, according to today's price, how much silver you send, how many weapons I give." ”

"Okay, that's a deal." Wei Xue gritted his teeth and said.

Sent Wei Xue away, Zhang Chu was alone in the house and had fun, and finally had silver in his hand again. During the period since Zhang Chu left Zhongyang last year, factories in various places have not been idle, steel production has increased a lot, and a large number of weapons and equipment have been manufactured. In addition to the self-sufficiency of the security forces, there is a surplus. Zhang Chu decided to exchange them for silver. With the silver, what Zhang Chu wants to do can be carried out.

Hong Chengchou, who chased the thieves all over the world to kill, first felt the abnormality of Zhang Chu's actions.

Zhang Chu's attack on Wang Jiayin made him very excited, and someone in the official army was finally willing to take the initiative to attack the thieves. And Zhang Chu can indeed fight, killing and wounding nearly 10,000 thieves in the first battle, which is a rare victory.

The next thing changed, Zhang Chulai did not leave Fugu, and also occupied Shenmu and began to build a large number of buildings. This is the rhythm of occupying the king, thinking of Zhang Chu's previous identity as a thief, Hong Chengchou expected that Zhang Chu might rebel. This confirms his judgment that a dead thief is a good thief. Hurriedly wrote a letter to Yang He, the governor of the three sides, to report the situation, requesting that troops be sent to prevent Zhang Chu's rebellion as soon as possible, and it was best to control Zhang Chu first.

Yang He received the misery in his confidence, and he also felt Zhang Chu's abnormal movement, but he couldn't do anything about it. There is no food and no money to send troops, and it is even more impossible to control Zhang Chu, the last time Zhang Chu was transferred, Zhang Chu refused to give food and salary first, and now he owes more. It was impossible for Zhang Chu to come to see him.

The imminent problem is Wang Jiayin, Wang Jiayin's vitality is too strong, he is chased by officers and soldiers everywhere, and the teams around him are broken up again and again, and they gather again and again. This time it was even bigger, almost half of the men and horses were wiped out by Zhang Chu, but they crossed the Yellow River and occupied the county town of Hequ, and the number of people and horses grew to more than 200,000 people, what a terrifying number, if Wang Jiayin was not eliminated in time, let the emperor know that there were still so many thieves, and his plan to appease would fail.

I had to order Hong Chengchou and Zhang Chu to leave it alone in advance, and wait until Wang Jiayin was eliminated. Hong Chengchou was also very helpless after receiving the letter, and went to Shanxi to chase and kill Wang Jiayin.

Yang He wrote another letter to Zhang Chu, ordering him to immediately cross the river to attack Wang Jiayin, and it would be good for them to kill each other. Zhang Chu's reply was still sprinkled, and finally boiled down to one sentence, if I don't give money, I won't have a way to fight. Yang He's hopes were dashed.

Zhang Chu didn't have the time to fight with the Governor, he really wanted money, because he started the big construction in Fugu again.
