This is the role of the prison army, at this time, all the minds are focused on making money, like these eunuchs who can only please people and serve people as prison soldiers, it is really a joke, send them here, it is better to send a few more brocade guards to secretly collect intelligence.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty also produced very powerful eunuchs, and Zheng He was one of them, but unfortunately, there was only one Zheng He in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"My lord, I heard that the caravan of the Yuci Zhai family was attacked, the Jiexiu Fan family and the Yuci Zhai family accused each other, as if there was a conflict, and the Tian family's business was also troubled, and the business community in Shanxi has not been able to live in peace recently." Zhao Gongchang suddenly said to Lu Haoshan with some schadenfreude.

Finally heard a good news, sometimes it is a pleasure to hear that people who don't like it are unlucky, Lu Haoshan's eyes lit up, and he asked with interest: "Where did you get the news?" ”

"We left someone to find out, but the news also spread among the local merchants, so it's not a secret." Zhao Gongchang replied with a smile.

Zhao Gongchang is indeed worth being happy about, this plan was set by Lu Haoshan, but it was completed by himself, judging from the current commotion, the effect is very good.

Lu Haoshan asked in a low voice: "It's dog-eat-dog so soon, what are you hiding from me?" ”

Zhao Gongchang put his mouth attached to Lu Haoshan's ear and lowered his voice and said: "I buried Mei Degui's body in the Tian family's property, and Fan Yongdou suspected that the Zhai and Tian families conspired to deal with him, so they fought. ”

Loss, it's really a loss, the key person is dead, and there is no certificate to check it, this has become a confused account, Lu Haoshan laughed when he heard this, patted him on the shoulder, and then extended it.

I can't clean up these rotten worms and the scum of the nation for a while, and now Lu Haoshan's power is still too small, if the snake doesn't die but lets them bite, it will be worth the loss, Lu Haoshan decided to let them go first. Let them be fattened first, and then slaughtered with a knife after fattening.

After the eunuch of the supervising army left, Lu Haoshan's task remained unchanged, and he continued to cooperate with the Yuzao Hundred Households to defend the Yuzao Pass.

Lu Haoshan was speechless, having strength and determination does not mean that he can be capricious, he can't move casually without receiving an order, and he hugged the new commander Han Wendeng in Sichuan, barely a character, but as soon as he came out of Sichuan, he was reduced to a small role. Take this garrison at Yuzao Pass as an example, it was Cao Wenzhao who ordered it to Deng Xi, and then Deng Xi assigned it to himself according to the actual situation, and the order could not reach him at all.

Garrisoning and waiting for an opportunity to move, the difference is too far, Lu Haoshan instead misses the time in Pingyang Mansion, at that time Dong Jian was "recuperating" in Fenzhou City, Lu Haoshan can be said to belong to the state of "no king", it can be said to be at ease. But as soon as this Deng Xi arrived, he was restrained everywhere.

This Deng Xi is polite to himself on the surface, but he is actually a little jealous in his heart. Let Lu Haoshan have a body of martial arts but no place to use it, and he used to encircle and suppress in Sichuan without mud, and there were not so many constraints.

Lu Haoshan returned to Shuaiying, thinking about how to change this situation. If you have a heart to give gifts and are afraid of doing bad things with good intentions, you will feel that you have bad intentions, if you have been waiting here. I am afraid of missing the opportunity and being in a dilemma.

"Report! There are new briefings and intelligence. ”

Just when Lu Haoshan was in a dilemma, a herald suddenly came in to report.

"Bring it"

After the herald presented the briefing and intelligence, he quietly retreated, Lu Haoshan opened the information first, and saw that it turned out to be the information about the old Huihui, the intelligence said that the old Huihui appeared in the area of Baixiang Mountain in Zhending Mansion, and recently had a hot fight with the King of Golden Liang for his own use, Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings of Xiying, and others, and conspired to attack Zhending Mansion a few days ago, but was counterattacked by the defenders strongly, and suffered heavy losses, and now Baixiang Mountain is considered to be resting.

Not far away, Lu Haoshan estimated that from Yuzaokou to Baixiang Mountain, it would only be two or three days to ride a horse, I didn't expect this guy to have such a big appetite, and now the imperial court has sent heavy troops to garrison these places, and he dares to attack the city.

Can this be considered fate?

Now Wen Chong Qianhu all regard Lao Hui as a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh, and from time to time there are soldiers who ask Lu Haoshan to fight, and now Lao Hui has suffered a setback again, and the two are so close, if he doesn't act again, Lu Haoshan feels sorry for his dead brother.

Putting down the information in his hand, Lu Haoshan picked up the bulletin that was only circulating within the army, and it turned out to be boring news such as which mob was defeated, what bloody crime the mob committed, and which target person was in the law, but he didn't expect to see a heavy news: the Beijing battalion soldiers were dispatched.

It turned out that after the imperial court mobilized heavy troops, the rebels from all walks of life moved into the Taihang Mountains, and Zhu Changfang, the king of Minglu, who was sealed in Weihui Mansion in Ji County, Henan, saw that the momentum of the rebels was getting bigger and bigger, and his fiefdom was in danger, so he wrote to Chongzhen to tell him that he was urgent, asking the court not to despise these mobs and exterminate them as soon as possible, so as not to let them sit big again and threaten the Ming Dynasty, and also said that he was willing to donate money and food to help the court suppress bandits.

This King Minglu still has some weight, plus he is willing to donate money and food to suppress the bandits, Chongzhen, who is eager to extinguish the peasant uprising, agrees to the request of this Zhu Wangye, and specially appoints Ni Chong and Wang Pu as the chief soldiers, and the eunuchs Yang Jinchao and Lu Jiude as the supervising army, and commands 6,000 elite Beijing battalion soldiers to Henan to suppress the bandits, praying that the righteous army will be wiped out in one fell swoop, once and for all.

Huh, the Jing soldiers were also alarmed, it seems that Chongzhen's pain has made up his mind to quell the rebellion.

However, in this way, his status in the army of bandits is even lower, not only his own status has declined, but also the status of Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao and others.

This is lively, Shaanxi soldiers, Shanxi soldiers, Henan soldiers, such as Tongzhou soldiers, Changping soldiers, Baoding soldiers, famous soldiers plus Beijing camp soldiers, is a challenge for Hong Chengchou, and for Zijinliang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others, the pressure is doubled.

These soldiers did not come to congratulate them, but to ask for their lives.

Lu Haoshan thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Where is Cao Wenzhao now?" ”

"General Cao inspects military affairs, and now he should be in Dingxiang City." Lu Haoshan suddenly spoke and stunned Zhao Gongchang, but he quickly reacted and answered.

Fortunately, it was not far away, it was all in Taiyuan Mansion, Lu Haoshan stood up with a loud voice, and said: "Gongchang, prepare the horse, let's go to Dingxiang immediately." ”

"My lord, go to Dingxiang?" Zhao Gongchang paused for a moment, but quickly persuaded: "That's not good, our task is to help defend here, and we can't leave our posts casually, if people know, this will be punished." ”

Although the army is rotten and many systems exist in name only, military discipline is military discipline and cannot be destroyed at will.

Lu Haoshan hesitated for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said: "The opportunity is to be fought for, sit here and wait, I don't know when, I will say to the outside world that I am infected with the wind and cold, and I can't see people, find someone to hold it for a few days, and I will go back when I go." ”

"But my lord, aren't you afraid that General Cao will embarrass you?" Zhao Gongchang said with some concern.

This Cao Wenzhao is a person from the Shaanxi Dusi, but he is not as easy to talk as Han Wendeng.

Lu Haoshan shook the briefing in his hand and said confidently: "With this, this official is confident that Cao Wenzhao will not be embarrassed." ”

"My lord is looking for General Cao, I don't know what is going on?"

"Fight!" Lu Haoshan said with a serious face

In Dingxiang City, Cao Wenzhao sat in the study of a large family temporarily requisitioned, frowning and looking at the holy decree in his hand, the content of the holy decree was very simple, that is, to send Ni Chong and Wang Putong 6,000 Beijing battalions to Henan to suppress bandits, so that Cao Wenzhao cooperated.

It is said that it is cooperation, but in fact, it is mainly based on the Beijing battalion soldiers, and Cao Wenzhao is secondary, and they are inferior in terms of seniority.

After reading the holy decree again, the wrinkles on Cao Wenzhao's forehead deepened.

Before entering Shanxi to suppress bandits, the imperial court had great hopes for Cao Wenzhao, all the infantry cavalry needed were selected one by one, and they were promoted to the first level before they made meritorious contributions, Cao Wenzhao at that time was so high-spirited, as if he could exterminate those mud feet as soon as he entered Shanxi, and then he was promoted to the rank of knight, and what a glorious lintel was, but unfortunately it was contrary to the situation, not that the officers and soldiers did not work hard, but that those mud legs were too cunning, constantly flowing around, due to geographical restrictions, they had to take a lot of trouble in terms of adjustment, this is not, this bandit not only did not exterminate, On the contrary, the momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and they have all hit Zhending and Shunde mansions near Beijing.

This is a slap in the face.

Fortunately, the imperial court also knows the truth, knows that many things are not under their control, there is supervision and encouragement in the holy decree, fortunately they did not pursue their own faults, the imperial court sent the eunuchs to watch, and it was known that the imperial court and the emperor were very dissatisfied with the progress of the suppression of bandits, and now they are still sending the Beijing battalion soldiers, obviously no longer pinning hope on themselves.

The moment he got this holy decree, Cao Wenzhao had a feeling of loss and frustration, or it was not an exaggeration to say that he had fallen out of favor, Cao Wenzhao knew that he had lost a very rare opportunity.

Gently put the holy decree in his hand on the table, Cao Wenzhao's mouth showed a wry smile: It's really realistic, as soon as he saw that he had no effect, he immediately kicked himself aside, and he was out and about every day for the sake of suppressing bandits, and most of the time was spent on horseback.

Who told himself to do this errand, and often had to inspect and coordinate with various troops, and the eunuch who announced the decree still complained that he couldn't find himself and let him suffer, Cao Wenzhao really wanted to say that it was fun to let him run around outside?

Alas, Cao Wenzhao let out a long sigh, originally the bandit was his own family, first the old boss Hong Chengchou served as the governor of the three provinces, and then sent the eunuchs to supervise the army, and now he sent the Beijing battalion to recruit soldiers, and his position became more and more embarrassing.

Just when Cao Wenzhao was worried, a henchman suddenly walked up to him and whispered: "General, Lu Qianhu of Sichuan Wenchong Qianhu is asking to see you outside the door." (To be continued......)
