Xie Lian is the governor of Denglai appointed by the emperor to govern the entire Dengzhou and Laizhou regions, and even the border affairs of Liaodong are within his purview, but after Dengzhou was recovered, he was under the strict protection of the security army, and there was no official to ask him for political affairs, he thought that he was stopped by the guards when he walked outside, saying that the rebels had not been completely cleared, and it was not safe outside, so he was isolated from the outside world, and even the general Zhang Chu rarely showed up, Xie Lian felt that he was imprisoned again.

Xie Lian couldn't explain it in the face of the guards who were following him, and the guards didn't care what Xie Lian's identity was, but only one sentence: "The marshal said, to ensure your safety, don't walk around." ”

Xie Lian, who was extremely angry, finally couldn't help it, and roared loudly to see Zhang Chu, he knew that this section must have been done by Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu finally had time to see Xie Lian, he knew that the next two sides would definitely be a fierce confrontation, so he didn't bother to talk about any more false courtesy, and when he saw Xie Lian, he didn't even waive the courtesy, and sat there waiting for Xie Lian to have a seizure.

"Zhang Chu, what are you going to do, do you know your identity? You dare to put the old man under house arrest, you are overstepping your authority, you are going to rebel. Xie Lian was really angry at Zhang Chu, and shouted at Zhang Chu regardless of his image.

Zhang Chu was not in a hurry and choked Xie Lian back with a word: "I was originally a thief, what else does Master Xie want." ”

Xie Lian opened his mouth and couldn't speak, this Zhang Chu is indeed a thief in Shanxi, he came here to quell the rebellion after being recruited by the emperor, and he would definitely be unhappy if he said rebellion in front of him.

After a deep groan, Xie Lian stabilized his mood and said: "Now that the rebellion in Shandong has subsided, I want to enter Beijing to pass through the rebellion of the Holy Chen Ping, and you will send someone to send me into Beijing." Xie Lian knows that there are some things that can't be said just by mouth, but by strength. Zhang Chu has soldiers and guns in Dengzhou, and if he goes out to rebel against himself, no matter how big an official he is, it is useless. Now it was best to leave Dengzhou before Zhang Chu turned his face and get out of Zhang Chu's control, so he made an excuse to leave.

"Lord Xie wants to go to Beijing to sue me, and then lead the troops to quell the rebellion again? I think you don't have to bother anymore, when you were surrounded in Laizhou, the reinforcements were dozens of miles away from you, but you were left in a lonely city for a few months, do you think there are still soldiers to fight in the Ming Dynasty? The tens of thousands of rebels besieging Laizhou were so easy to talk to, let him leave and leave, that was all I led the troops to beat them away, this city of Dengzhou, which was defended by the rebels with muskets and artillery, was defeated by me. I don't think you will be more clever than the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, and have mobilized more soldiers and horses than him, he is all my defeated generals, what can you do. If I am happy and lead the troops to the Beijing Division, no one will be able to stop me. Zhang Chu's words were true and false, and Xie Lian was straight at what he said. Xie Lian has been guarding the city in Laizhou for a few months, and he still knows the combat effectiveness of the rebels very well, Zhang Chu took 5,000 people to work in a few days to repel Kong Youde and recover Dengzhou City, this strength is indeed terrifying, if he rebels, he will be much more powerful than Kong Youde.

"I'm not here to sue, and I don't have anything to do here." Xie Lian couldn't provoke Zhang Chu, and he couldn't run away, so he had to laugh at himself.

"Lord Xie actually has a lot of things to do, why did the imperial court set up a governor of Denglai?" Zhang Chu asked knowingly.

"The Governor of Denglai was set up to manage the military affairs of Dengzhou and Laizhou and prevent the Houjin army from moving south from the sea." Of course, Xie Lian is very clear about his responsibilities.

"You can still accomplish your mission here. I returned to the imperial court and came all the way to Shandong to quell the rebellion, and I didn't want to rebel in Shandong again, if we want to rebel and continue to be a thief in Shanxi, wouldn't it be better, why bother to come to this unfamiliar place. We really want to serve the imperial court, but how did the imperial court treat us after I arrived in Shandong, we won victories one after another, but the emperor's reward was not seen a penny, and Kong Youde's tens of thousands of rebels were run away by me, but there is not even a reward until now. We are starving in Shanxi because of you corrupt officials and corrupt officials, let's put it bluntly, I can't believe you, let you preside over the Dengzhou area, how much can the taxes collected give us as military salaries, and besides, the rebellion has been put down, and we have become even more insignificant. Therefore, I decided to implement military administration in the Dengzhou area, where everything was managed by ourselves, and the taxes collected were used as food and wages, and the most important thing was to ensure that the soldiers had food to eat. I can make a deal with you, you ask the court for us to pay for food, we fight for you, isn't it good that you pay for us to contribute, as long as the food is sufficient, we are willing to work for the court. Zhang Chu said a long set of words, there is only one security guard in the center who can fight for the silver.

"It seems that there is no war left in this Denglai area, right?" Xie Lian thought to himself that what the Ming Dynasty lacked most now was silver, and it was not easy to say that it was not easy to move the emperor to pay money, and the rebellion in Shandong was quelled, was the emperor still willing to spend money for the war in Shandong?

"Denglai has no battle to fight, the battle of Liaodong is far from over, your predecessor Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua plans to build warships to counterattack Liaodong from the sea, if it is not for the storm, the fleet will really work. You can go ahead with this method, all you have to do is build a few boats to get people over. Zhang Chu stood up and walked in front of Xie Lian as he spoke.

"What's in it for you?" Xie Lian will not be confused by Zhang Chu's words, he understands that there is no support for interests and the possibility of a scam is greater.

"Our advantage is that the emperor will give us food in the near future, we will not starve to death, and then we will defeat the land of Liaodong recovered by Houjin and give us a part of it, the government has long had a policy of Liao people guarding Liao, as long as this policy is applied to the hungry people in Shanxi and Shaanxi."

"You're really not going to rebel again?" Xie Lian still doesn't trust Zhang Chu very much.

"The ministers have never figured out one thing, the so-called thieves in Shanxi and Shaanxi are originally hungry people, if the court gives food and leaves a way for everyone to live, who wants to rebel again, those who were appeased and rebelled again are back to their hometowns and no one cares, and there is no food to rebel again. I came to Shandong this time to find a new way out for the victims of the disaster in Shanxi, don't blame us for being so obsessed with food, we are really hungry and afraid. If Lord Xie can get the emperor to agree to us going to Liaodong, it will not only increase the defense force of Liaodong, but also reduce the rebels in Shanxi, and the court will spend a share of money to do two things. You also know how the Houjin people treated the Han people, we can't surrender the Houjin, and if we rebel in Liaodong, we will face the double pressure of the Houjin and the imperial court, as long as the imperial court continues to pay our food, we will not rebel again. After Zhang Chu finished speaking, he returned to his seat and sat down, quietly waiting for Xie Lian's reaction.

Xie Lian was a little restless at this time, the Liaodong issue has become a big problem for the imperial court, and many courtiers who have made a difference are trying to find a way to deal with this huge crisis, Zhang Chu said that it is a good way, but there are too many uncertain factors, Xie Lian finally said to Zhang Chu helplessly: "You let me think again."
