Chapter 303: Fighting for the Emperor

Cao Huachun is now forty-three years old and in the prime of life, following Emperor Chongzhen to overthrow the eunuchs, rehabilitating thousands of unjust cases caused by Wei Zhongxian, and winning the trust of the emperor. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After watching Cao Huachun, Zhang Chu knew that this old eunuch was not all a sinister and vicious image. It's just that I don't know if this old eunuch is a master of martial arts, and if he can kill him with a musket. Zhang Chu's confidence in this point is a little lacking.

"You are Zhang Lin, and Zhang Hong, the county commander of Zhongyang County, is your uncle?" Cao Huachun was the first to ask.

"The youngest of Qiyu is Zhang Lin, and his uncle Zhang Hong once made the Zhongyang County Order." Zhang Chu bowed his head and replied.

"How is Zhang Hong now?" Cao Huachun saw Zhang Chu's appearance and gave up the plan to intimidate, thinking that he couldn't pee his pants when he was scared like this, so he switched to the means of co-opting, and wanted to be close to Zhang Chu, if Zhang Chu became a person from the government, then every move of the thief was under control, so he took Zhang Hong here as a breakthrough and began to play the family card.

"Since the fall of Zhongyang, my uncle has been trapped in Zhongyang City, and every day I am thinking about returning to the court and asking the adults to rescue him." Saying that, Zhang Chu knelt on the ground again and kept kowtowing to Cao Huachun.

"Get up, as long as he still has a heart towards the Ming Dynasty, the emperor will forgive him for the sin of losing his land, if you submit to the court this time, I will reward him with meritorious deeds. Cao Huachun was also very happy to see that he had succeeded in playing the family card.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Zhang Chu thanked him repeatedly, got up from the ground, took out a beautiful brocade box, raised his hands above his head and said, This is the filial piety of our big boss, please accept it.

The attendant next to him took the brocade box, opened it and put it in front of Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun looked at the bottom and saw a pair of glass cups shining in the brocade box, and he was immediately attracted to it. Cao Huachun picked up a cup from the box and played with it, this glass cup does not have any complicated decoration, but it is rare that the whole body is transparent, there is no variegation, and the shape of the cup is smooth and beautiful. Holding the cup, Cao Huachun couldn't put it down and liked it very much, and said continuously: "Okay, good, you big bosses are very sensible." ”

Zhang Chu listened to it and said, of course, it cost Lao Tzu a lot of silver. As a crossing otaku, burning glass after crossing must be done, but Zhang Chu soon found out that he was deceived by the author of the crossing novel, it was not an easy task to burn solid colored glass in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Chu got a bunch of colorful glass after a pen of silver was invested, but he didn't want a solid color transparent. In a fit of rage, Zhang Chu smashed these glasses and turned them into grenade ignition devices. Fortunately, Zhang Chu did not give up, and still continued to invest money into the craftsmen to experiment, and has just made progress recently, producing a solid color transparent glass, just Zhang Chu wants to enter the capital to worry about what gift can impress the ministers in the capital, so he himself thought about the shape of the cup in the future generations and let the craftsmen make a batch, and thought that it would hurt to send jade jewelry, and I will give you a glass. In fact, this is Zhang Chu's thoughts in later generations, and now a pair of solid-colored glasses like Daming are much more precious than jade.

Zhang Chu gave the gift and waited there quietly, thinking that you have received everything, how can you express it?

"Do you have any ideas about returning to the imperial court?" Cao Huachun knew that the other party must have something to ask for such a valuable gift.

"Zhang Chu, our big boss, has been cultivating in the mountains with his master since he was a child, and he came out of the mountains to relieve the hunger in the world, but he didn't expect to fall into the chaos of the people. Zhu Jishi, the second master, is a scholar who always has a loyal heart in his heart, both of them are committed to the emperor, and there are many people who are forced by the famine to serve the court as long as they can eat a bite of food. Originally, Zhang Chu had accepted the appeasement of the imperial court, and had also gone to Beijing to fight the Tartars to relieve the emperor's worries, but he didn't expect to be squeezed out by Hong Chengchou after going back, and he sent troops to attack us without food, so we wanted to ask the adults to say a few good words for us in front of the emperor, and transfer us to Hong Chengchou's jurisdiction, even if we were transferred to fight the Tartars outside the gate. Zhang Chu turned on the mode of talking nonsense.

"We don't need you to fight the Tartars now, we can't start a war against Houjin, how many men and horses do you have." Cao Huachun has recently been concerned about the situation of the rebellion of the displaced people in Shanxi, and knows about Zhang Chu's fight against the Houjin soldiers by King Qin back then, but is the Houjin so easy to provoke, and now that the Houjin has finally stopped, he doesn't dare to take the initiative to provoke them. They don't come to the Ming Dynasty to make trouble.

"We have a total of 5,000 people, young and old, we have no other ability, we are willing to fight for the emperor, we are willing to sell our lives to the emperor for food, we can't fight the Tartars, you see where there is a war to transfer us over, we must fight desperately, we will not lose your face." Zhang Chu pleaded there, his face full of sincerity.

As soon as Cao Huachun heard this, he knew that these people were hungry and afraid, and he would not ask for food and his life. It is indeed a good way to let these people go to war, whether they kill the enemy or the enemy destroys them, the Ming Dynasty will end up quiet, otherwise they will rebel if they are placed somewhere without food to eat, and then they will also be involved in the people who are appeased, the previous Yang He is a lesson, he has appeased a lot of thieves, but a few days later, he rebelled again, and Yang He lost his office.

If these thieves can be transferred out of Shanxi, it is impossible for them to rebel without the hungry people. But where do you put them? Liaodong can't go, you stuff a team to the old superintendent Sun Chuanting, and he doesn't necessarily want it. Cao Huachun thought of a good place in an instant, that is, Shandong, now there is a rebellion of Kong Youde in Shandong, it is said that this rebel army is very powerful, it did not take long to occupy several cities, and now Dengzhou has been defeated, the imperial court is mobilizing troops from all over the country to quell the rebellion, if this team of thieves is sent to Shandong, no matter who defeats who in the end will be beneficial to the imperial court, thinking of this Cao Huachun said: "Since you have the heart of the final saint, I will fulfill you." I will appease you with the Holy Lord, and send you to Shandong to quell Kong Youde's rebellion. ”

"Thank you, sir." Zhang Chu knelt on the ground again and kowtowed a few times, he thought to himself that this time he could pay for it, he actually kowtowed so much to this old eunuch, and when he caught this old thing, he would definitely let him kowtow back. This old eunuch is really solid-eyed, this time he came just to save Sun Yuanhua, by the way, disgusting Hong Chengchou, saying that he was working for the emperor, and the old eunuch really wanted to send the security army to Shandong to quell the rebellion. Let's talk about it perfunctory first, and it's not up to them to decide whether to go or not when the time comes.

The atmosphere of this meeting was very harmonious, and the great eunuch Cao Huachun was particularly pleased, although the number of anti-thieves called the security army was small, but he commanded them in the palace and subdued them, so that the emperor must be very happy to know, and also gave himself such a beautiful gift, it seems that these anti-thieves are quite good at doing things.

Zhang Chu got the promise of Gonggong Cao, said goodbye and returned to the Qiyuan Inn, without thinking more about the meeting, at this time he was thinking about how to save Sun Yuanhua from the prison of the Zhenfu Division as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
