Zhang Chu sent Yang Liu's fleet away, and then devoted all his attention to the governance of the occupied area in Shandong. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, Zhang Chu was facing many difficulties, the war was over, and the imperial court was bound to restore its rule over the Dengzhou region, and Zhang Chu was a military attaché, and the small generals had no power to manage these areas at all, and the larger state officials sent by the emperor could give orders to Zhang Chu. Of course, Zhang Chu would not let such a group of people in his territory exist who pointed fingers at him, because this issue turned against the emperor, and it was not in Zhang Chu's interests to start a war now. What Zhang Chu needs most now is time, time to develop and grow himself in Shandong.

Wang Chengen was found in front of Zhang Chu, he felt very uncomfortable in the face of Zhang Chu's gaze, and it was definitely nothing good for Zhang Chu to find him.

"Princess, do you want to write a letter to the emperor again, and ask the emperor to send some food and silver to everyone?" Zhang Chu is considered to be a three-point profit, and he will ask for money when he meets.

"The country is in an eventful season, there are too many places to use silver, the emperor will definitely remember General Zhang's merits, and he will not treat the soldiers badly." Wang Chengen also has no choice, Kong Youde and others fled from the sea Zhang Chu to recover Dengzhou has been reported for so many days, but the emperor has no intention of rewarding the security army at all, he can only coax Zhang Chu not to worry, otherwise this Zhang Chu, who never takes the emperor seriously, will turn his face and rebel, and there will be another Kong Youde.

"It's difficult for the emperor, it's even more difficult for us, the remnants of this Kong Youde are now scattered everywhere, I have to send troops to encircle and suppress every day, which will consume a lot of food and salary, but it won't work if you don't suppress it, once these people gather again, a new rebellion will be formed immediately, and the prince must give the emperor more food." Zhang Chu spat bitter water to Wang Chengen.

"Okay, I'll report to the emperor." Wang Chengen knew that Zhang Chu was going to blackmail the emperor into paying more food and salary because the rebellion was not completely quelled, but what Zhang Chu said was not a lie, Wang Chengen was taken by Zhang Chu to see many rebels captured by the security army in the Dengzhou military camp, and it seems that Zhang Chu is indeed not idle these days. Therefore, there are still a large number of remnants of rebels near Dengzhou, and the security army is closing the border and making every effort to clear it, and the emperor is asking for more food and salary in front of the emperor. After hearing the news that the remaining thieves around Dengzhou had not been eliminated, the reinforcements from all walks of life in Shandong lost interest in Dengzhou. Isn't it possible for your security forces, then you can continue to suppress the thieves yourself.

Kong Youde's rebellion was put down, and the officers and troops from all walks of life gradually returned. Only Zhang Chu, the Yantai general, is still working hard to clean up the remnants of the rebels who are wandering among the people, and at the same time, he has to prevent Kong Youde, who went to sea, from coming back. At this time, Zhang Chu's military pressure was greatly reduced.

Zhang Chu can't live a leisurely life for a while, he still has a big man to deal with, maybe he can buy more time for the security army to develop in Shandong, if he doesn't get it, the emperor will soon find out that Zhang Chu is abnormal, maybe he will have to transfer troops to suppress the security army.

This big man is Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai after Sun Yuanhua, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty have not yet experienced the slave education of the Manchu Dynasty, some people are still very backbone, and they can still focus on righteousness in the face of death, and the word greed for life and fear of death is not on their heads, Xie Lian is a person who is loyal to the emperor and dares to sacrifice his life for the emperor. He was appointed to be the governor of Denglai, as soon as he took office, he was besieged in the city of Laizhou, he led the troops to defend the city for several months and never surrendered and compromised, even if he was later caught by Kong Youde with a trick of surrender, he still did not give in, and it didn't take long in the original history to be killed by Kong Youde. Zhang Chu's appearance forced Kong Youde to surrender and saved Xie Lian's life.

Kong Youde wants to surrender, and for this heavyweight prisoner in his hand, he must ask Zhang Chu how to deal with it.

Xie Lian did not surrender to Kong Youde, and it was impossible for him to be a thief with Zhang Chu. For such a diehard, soft and hard will not work, Zhang Chu decided to use deception.

At that time, Xie Lian had been locked up in the rebel camp outside Laizhou for several days, and his life and death were still trivial matters, and he was most worried about whether Laizhou could be defended.

Kong Youde's strategy of deception caused the main leaders in Laizhou City, including him, to be captured, and the Laizhou prefect was killed on the spot.

Just as Xie Lian was thinking nonsense in the house, he heard a noisy sound outside, the sound of horses crowing from far and near, and the sound of weapons colliding kept coming, mixed with a scream in the middle.

The sound of smashing the lock at the door sounded, and after only a few clicks, the door was opened, and several people dressed in black flashed in, and said anxiously to Xie Lian: "Lord Xie, I am Yantai General Zhang Chu, you come with us quickly." ”

Xie Lian looked at the young face in front of him, he neither knew nor heard of it, at this time he couldn't allow him to think too much, he was dragged out of the house by the man in black, helped to a horse, and galloped all the way, shouting and killing behind him, and arrows kept flying by. After escaping a long way to get rid of the pursuers, Xie Lian also figured out that it was Zhang Chu, who was transferred by the emperor from Shanxi to quell the rebellion, who rescued him from the rebel camp.

Zhang Chu has occupied Zhaoyuan City, please Xie Lian temporarily settle in Zhaoyuan City, although Xie Lian looks down on Zhang Chu, a small general, the grade is much higher than Zhang Chu, at this time, he can only listen to Zhang Chu's arrangement to go to Zhaoyuan City first, and when he arrives at Zhaoyuan, the eunuch Wang Chengen also came to see him, Xie Lian is polite but does not want to have too much intersection with the eunuch.

Wang Chengen felt bored and retreated, Xie Lian immediately wrote a note to the emperor to report that he had escaped from danger, and now that he was in the security army, he would definitely lead the security army to relieve the siege of Laizhou. He was sent out by Zhang Chu to break through the rebels' defenses.

Xie Lian felt that after he was rescued, it was time to run, Zhang Chu settled Xie Lian in Zhaoyuan City, sent guards to stay on his side at all times, and promised not to let him have any more accidents, and then Zhang Chu led his troops to relieve the siege of Laizhou. Xie Lian is still worried about Zhang Chu, it is said that Zhang Chu only has 5,000 men and horses, and he has to guard Zhaoyuan City, and there are not many people who can be put into the attack, Zhang Chu did not let him worry for too long, the good news came that the security army defeated the rebels in Laizhou, the rebels have fled to Dengzhou, and the security army pursued by the victory, Xie Lian was still thinking about whether to transfer other officers and soldiers to come over and storm Dengzhou City, Zhang Chu actually recovered Dengzhou, and Zhaoyuan connected Xie Lian to Dengzhou City, and he, the governor of Denglai, walked into Dengzhou City for the first time.

Xie Lian hurriedly wrote a note to the emperor to report the good news, and at the same time praised Zhang Chu, with only 5,000 soldiers at such a young age, he made such a great achievement, and Zhang Chu's future is limitless.

In accordance with Zhang Chu's reminder, he issued an order in the name of the governor of Denglai, asking all reinforcements to strictly guard their own defense areas and prevent the fleeing rebels from harming the people.

The rebellion was put down, Xie Lian's governor of Denglai finally deserved his name, and the emperor also issued a holy decree to praise Xie Lian. Feeling complacent, the high-spirited Xie Lian felt more and more wrong in Dengzhou City. His dignified governor had no work to do. (To be continued.) )
