Chapter 415: Enemies on All Sides

Zhang Chu's newlywed life soon came to an end, and now the stalls of the security army are getting bigger and bigger, and there are too many things for Zhang Chu to decide. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhang Chu lingered with the eldest princess in Naturalization City for a few days, and reluctantly left the eldest princess in Naturalization City, and returned to Fugu by himself.

Although the eldest princess Uryanha was a little unhappy, she also understood that there was no way to do it in this extraordinary period. I had to watch Zhang Chu leave.

Zhang Chu returned to Fugu City to meet Li Mei and Yue Yue, and immediately set off for Zhongyang without stopping.

The road was not very fast, on the way Zhang Chu stopped several times to visit the villages and towns along the way or the garrison of the security army, the people who were not notified in advance were surprised, they were able to survive the famine in recent years, thanks to Zhang Chu and the security army, the people came to watch Zhang Chu and his bride.

The representatives of the people who came to see Zhang Chu respectfully said many words of praise to Zhang Chu, and Zhang Chu didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

Zhang Chu didn't understand that many high-ranking people would do stupid things and say very stupid things. When Zhang Chu himself governed a large area of territory, and there were hundreds of officials under him, he realized that the superior was not stupid, but was fooled and lame by the people under him. The superior person is like being in a cloud, fluttering and unconscious. You must say stupid things and do stupid things.

"How much is the harvest per mu in the field this year?" Zhang Chu knew that although the officials who came to visit him suddenly this time had found a few people who could speak well to fool him, they definitely didn't have time to do everything in such detail, because Zhang Chu specifically asked about the details of some things.

These deputies were told to say good things to Zhang Chu as much as possible, but Zhang Chu did not listen to what they said about the situation being very good, but always chased after some details and asked questions, and they were not prepared for this, so they had to tell the truth.

Zhang Chu was quite satisfied with their answers. The security forces must now be at a critical moment of life and death, the bureaucratic style of work is not very serious, and the officials are still doing their best.

The stop-and-go along the way made the officials along the way extremely nervous, but fortunately, Zhang Chu just looked at it and did not have any words of criticism, and occasionally praised the officials who performed well. The officials who sent Zhang Chu away breathed a sigh of relief, although Zhang Chu didn't say anything, running around without saying hello would also cost people's lives, and I don't know if Zhang Chu was a whim after the marriage, or if he would always do it in the future. Anyway, in the future, it's best to be careful, do a good job in advance, and don't let Zhang Chu grab the handle, otherwise life will be difficult.

The final target of Zhang Chu and his entourage is Zhongyang, and he wants to stay here for a few more days this time to put the internal affairs of the security army in order.

Zhu Jishi connected Zhang Chu to Zhongyang City, Zhang Chu has become a busy person in the past few years, and there has never been a stable day, and even Zhu Jishi can't easily see him. This time, Zhang Chu returned to Zhongyang through marriage, and the two had time to sit down and have a good chat.

"How about it, it's comfortable to have a wife, or you're amazing, and you married three at once." Zhu Jishi and Zhang Chu were joking.

"Of course it's comfortable, envy it, or you can marry a few more." Zhang Chu's face is not ordinarily thick.

"Forget it, I don't have as much energy as you." Zhu Jishi is only thinking about how to manage things in the territory of the security army.

"You really have to be mentally prepared for this. In a few days, I may really need you to come out and marry a daughter-in-law. "What Zhang Chu said is not a joke.

"There is also such a thing as forcing people to marry their daughters-in-law." Zhu Jishi couldn't figure it out that he was needed to marry a daughter-in-law.

"This is true, I think Lin Dan Khan will not last long, after his death, his eight Fujin will definitely take people to go their separate ways, the customs of the Mongolian people are different from ours, there is no tradition of not marrying again, often the successor of power inherits with the wife of the predecessor, so you may need to marry a few of Lin Dan Khan's Fujin people." Zhang Chu still has a little impression of this history, after the death of Lin Dan Khan, his eight Fujin all married to Houjin. Huang Taiji married three alone, and the others were all married by Huang Taiji's important ministers. Since Zhang Chu married the eldest princess Wuliangha, he would definitely not be able to do the matter of marrying Lin Dan Khan Fujin, so he also wanted to let these Fujin marry Zhu Jishi and others like Huang Taiji, so as to make the alliance between the security army and the Mongols stronger.

"Marry a Mongolian widow, and she is also a woman of Lin Dan Khan, and you want to marry a few, you should spare me, I can't do this kind of thing." Zhu Jishi's head shook like a rattle, he was really afraid of Zhang Chu, and he could come up with such an idea.

"I'm just preparing you in advance, and now you don't want to marry someone else. Only when our security forces are strong enough that people think you are a reliable backer. We still really want to get the security army's own affairs right, or we won't be able to save our heads if we are killed by others, let alone marry a daughter-in-law. Zhang Chu changed the subject.

"Now the momentum of internal development of the security army is very good, but the external pressure is very high, and it can be said that it is making enemies on all sides. We've got to really plan and plan. Zhu Jishi restrained his smile and said seriously.

Zhang Chu is very clear about the situation facing the security forces now. The security forces seem to be calm in their territory, but they are also under tremendous pressure from all sides.

Zhang Chu's old opponent Hong Chengchou did not stop for a moment. Hong Chengchou realized the importance of firearms after being repaired by Zhang Chu, and when he set up a firearms factory, Zhang Chu abducted the craftsmen, but he still did not give up, and found many craftsmen in the patchwork, and Hong Chengchou's firearms factory was really set up. After several setbacks, qualified musket artillery was produced. Of course, these are all old-fashioned arquebuses and artillery with redcoat cannons as samples that the official army had before.

Hong Chengchou did not dare to use these muskets and artillery against the security army after equipping them with the firearms battalion, and sent them to the battlefield against the peasant rebel army. I didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good. Hong Chengchou's firearms unit continued to grow, and he trained his hands with the righteous army, and his strength became stronger and stronger. If it weren't for Zhang Chu's nominal official army, Hong Chengchou would have come to him for revenge. However, Hong Chengchou had long thought that Zhang Chu's surrender must be fake, and he might have rebelled that day, but he had not been caught by him, so he could only endure it.

Most of the rebels in Shanxi had a miserable life. Under Hong Chengchou's repeated strangulation, the rebels from all walks of life suffered heavy losses. If it weren't for the fact that the natural disasters still hadn't abated, there would always be a large number of new refugees joining the rebels, maybe Hong Chengchou would have really killed the rebels.

Among the many rebels, the best mixed is Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng got his help because he met Zhang Chu, a friend, and got his help, even better than him in history. Li Zicheng firmly used the silver to buy weapons with Zhang Chu and then took the weapons to grab the silver, and then came to buy weapons when he got the silver, and he didn't feel heartache at all about the silver he spent, he knew that he could grab more silver with a knife and gun in his hand. In particular, after Zhang Chu agreed to sell Li Zicheng's artillery, the small county towns that had left Li Zicheng helpless were captured by him with artillery, and Li Zicheng used the grain and grass in the city to recruit more displaced people, and now there are more than 300,000 victims under Li Zicheng, and his influence has spread all over Henan and began to extend to the border of Hebei.

Zhang Chu knew that with Li Zicheng's character, it was impossible to surrender to him, and sooner or later the two would become opponents. How to treat Li Zicheng is indeed a tricky problem. (To be continued.) )
