Su Meng'er pondered for a moment, frowned, and said: "If you let many people go to Shanxi, isn't it too obvious, even if Jinyiwei is not as well-informed as the original, the imperial court will also know, how will you explain it then?" ”

Ao Bai sighed: "But if you don't do this, Shanxi will definitely be in trouble." ^UC e-book is provided free of charge ^^ "Shaanxi is a neighboring province of Shanxi, and if the peasants rebel and want to go to Beijing, they will definitely have to cross Shanxi." Historically, the peasant rebel army did frantically attack Shanxi, almost inflicting a devastating blow on Shanxi. There are also many garrisons in the towns of Datong and Ningwu in Shanxi, and other places are basically controlled by the Salt Gang and Heishizhai and have a certain strength. If the rebel army fights over, whether it wins or loses, it will not be beneficial to Aobai. lost, Shanxi was controlled by the peasant army; If you win, it's also very troublesome, and the imperial court will definitely think that in addition to Datong Town and Ningwu Town, where will a group of people pop up? When did Shanxi have such a powerful mass organization? Not to mention sending troops to encircle and suppress, it is easy to find Aobai's head along the vine. Either way, it would disrupt his original plan. So he had to do something before the peasants revolted.

Su Meng'er didn't know the future, so she was more optimistic and said, "They won't necessarily be righteous." "If left unchecked, they will be relevant, how many refugees have we seen along the way who can't survive? Shaanxi is actually more serious than here, what does that have to be? Ao Bai frowned and said, "If you can't take them in, it will definitely be bad." "He values Shanxi for money, and because it is close to the capital. But if Shaanxi rebels first, his territory will become a buffer zone in the capital, and the location is too embarrassing.

"If so, what are you going to do?" Ao Bai smiled bitterly: "Now they are just dissatisfied, they haven't raised troops yet, so it's easy to do, after getting there, let the local officials and Jinyi Wei investigate who the people who are the leaders, and I will recruit those who have fallen into the grass." Working with them also risks not being able to tell them what they really want to do. People who don't want to rebel may also betray me in exchange for glory and wealth, which is really troublesome, alas, I have a headache. ”

Su Meng'er stretched out her hand, as if touching Aobai's head, and as soon as Aobai raised her head and looked at her, her hand retracted. went around to his back and said lightly: "I thought you planned everything well, but it turns out that there are times when you have headaches?" ”

I'm not an immortal, how can I think of anything? What's more, things are still changing. In the previous life, the biggest threat was the Eight Banners Army, and now that the Jin country is also in famine, there is almost no threat. Dedication. Ao Bai said lightly: "In short, let's go to Shaanxi first, if they don't rebel, of course it's better." ”

"Well, let's come out tomorrow and rest early." After Su Meng'er finished speaking, she walked out of the house quickly with small steps. Guyuan's horses were scarce, and in the end, only fifty Jinyi Guard cavalry teams were gathered, and the group went to Shaanxi under the leadership of Aobai. The monks of the Shaolin Temple were left here, and when the ease eased here, Wu Zhiwang would send someone to send them back to Songshan. Ao Bai soon saw the severity of the disaster in Shaanxi, and the land was all cracked. On the way, there were no beggars, but there were some dead bodies that no one cared for, and the cause of their death was probably that they had encountered robbers. Ao Bai sighed: "If there are only a few poor people in a place, and there are many rich people, the poor are likely to become beggars. If a place is full of poor people, then if you want to survive, if the first court does not provide disaster relief, I think that by the end of the year, or next year, at the latest, there will be a large-scale uprising. ”

Hao Wei, a young brocade guard, said: "My lord, is it really so serious? Will it be dangerous for us to go this time? ”

Ao Bai smiled: "No." We didn't encounter robbers all the way, and the dead didn't have a large caravan, so it can be seen that their strength is very scattered, and there is no threat for the time being, and it is too late to see us hide. Hao Wei was immediately relieved when he heard this, "What the adults said is true." ”

Ao Bai said: "Listen to the order, Jiadu, we have to rush to Yansui Town as soon as possible." ”

He didn't know if the south was heaven, but the northwest must be hell. The group walked the nearest road and arrived at Yansui Town in only three and a half days. After entering the territory of Shaanxi, prices have been rising. Here, it looks like another country. The imperial court could not effectively control the prices in various places, and the regulation and control were very poor. There are also some businessmen from other places who come here with goods with the mentality of making a lot of money. But it's likely that you won't be able to make money, and you'll lose your life here.

Wang Wei, the chief soldier of Yansui Town and a veteran of nearly 50 years, saw Aobai, and the first thing he said was: "Lord Huang, I want to ask, when will the imperial court be able to pay the military salary?" How long will it last? ”

Ao Bai saw that he was anxious for his subordinates, he didn't have special respect for himself, and he didn't get angry, and said, "Lord Wang, half a year at the latest." I can give you a promise for this. ”

Wang Wei said bitterly: "My lord, there is a great drought in Shaanxi, if you don't provide disaster relief, I'm afraid that you won't be able to hold on, many people are starving to death, and there are also many deserters from the military households here, I think you should have heard of it, right?" Ao Bai sighed: "If I hadn't heard about it, I wouldn't have rushed here from Guyuan in three days to see if there was anything else to solve." ”

Wang Wei frowned and said, "Alas, what else can I do?" There is not enough food, and prices are too high...... The lower officials are guilty and can't suppress them, in fact, some deserters here have fallen into the grass with the homeless. "To be arranged to be an official in such a thankless place, it is generally because you have no background in the imperial court, or you have offended people. Ao Bai didn't know what to say, so he comforted me a few words first, and said, "Lord Wang, you report everything you know to me, there are also Jinyi guards here, and I can still get news from them." So, don't hide anything from me. ”

Wang Wei said: "The soldiers have not been paid for more than a year, there is a great drought here, there is no food, and many people have fallen into the grass, this is the whole situation." Ao Bai shook his head and said, "My lord, tell me about those people who fell into the grass, whether there is a relatively large scale, and if I want to negotiate with them, how can I meet them." Also, tell me in detail how much food and silver are lacking now. ”

Wang Wei spoke. Wang Jiayin, a fugitive from the border camp of Yulin Weiding, led people to fall into the grass first, and has already developed a force of 2,000 people. The collaborators include Yang Liu, non-muddy and others. There are also more than 2,000 people in Yansui's fugitive army, and his subordinates include Miao Mei, Feishan Tiger, Big Red Wolf and others.

In addition, there are Hannan Wang Daliang, Ansai Gao Yingxiang, and Qingjian Zhao Sheng who carried out robbery activities in Shaanxi. Ao Bai knew Gao Yingxiang, it turned out that King Chuang was not the first to rebel, there were people earlier than him, he had no impression of those people, it was estimated that they died early, or they did not become famous. But now it is necessary to touch it. He wanted to meet King Chuang first and have a chat. Ao Bai asked again, "Can I hunt around here?" If it was to kill and rob the Mongols from the border pass? Can you feed the war with war? ”

Wang Wei said: "This is unrealistic, the outside is the territory of the Mongols, their cavalry and archers are powerful, and most of our defenders here are infantry, and no one eats, let alone horses?" Our cavalry can't. ”

Ao Bai sighed and said, "I just proposed, if there is a mutiny in this way, they may fight the Han people and rebel if they stay here, it is better to fight the Mongols." Wang Wei said: "Lord Huang, I heard that you are a popular person in front of the emperor, able to speak, so young to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and also to be named the Taifu, it can be said that there is no one before and no one after him." You still don't want to think about these crooked paths, help suggest to the emperor, pay as soon as possible. Treat the people at our border gate like this, how can everyone still have the heart to fight and protect the Ming Dynasty? ”

Ao Bai Zhengse said: "Lord Wang, do you think that I put forward other opinions in order to continue to delay your military salary or deduct some money?" I can swear to heaven that the imperial court is indeed out of money, and the rest is allocated to Liaodong. I can also guarantee that the pay will be delivered soon. I know now that you can't take it long. ”

Wang Wei took a deep breath and said, "Okay, with your words, it is better than the people who came before." But there's nothing to do here, I'm sure. "This is different from Ningxia Town, even if you want to fight the Mongols, you have to go a long way. Ao Bai said lightly: "Lord Wang, let me tell you a secret, in order to make up your military salary, my advice to the emperor is to copy the house of a corrupt official." So, just wait a few more months, and someone will definitely send you money and food. It's confidential, don't pass it out, or I'll be in trouble too. You may not believe it, I have been to Ningxia Town before, they are also very poor, no military salary, I have heard that you are more serious here, so I took them to Helan Mountain to rob the Tartars, fought a battle, and got back thousands of sheep. So as long as you are obedient, I will be a robber, and I will let you live. ”

The commander of the Jinyi Guard became a bandit for a group of military households? This matter has not yet been transmitted, and Wang Wei feels incredible when he hears it.

"My lord, are you really like the emperor suggesting that you raid the house of a corrupt official?" "Do you think I wouldn't dare? Some people have so much money that they can eat the brothers here for a few months if they copy one. I can't say this, I don't know if you've heard of it, but I took someone to copy the eight major Jin merchants in Shanxi. If you don't do that, the imperial court will definitely be poorer. I used to be poor, so I value you people and know your suffering. I am on the side of the people, and as long as I can speak, I will fight for your good.

I would like to take you as robbers. In the imperial court, there are many officials, who only say but do not act, collude with merchants, and are poor here, do you know what the merchants in the south have become? They have money, but they don't want to take it out, and I will try to persuade the emperor to use their money to relieve here. There are many people in the court who want me to die because of this. If you want to live a better life, don't say any of these things, I will do it. Wang Wei was skeptical and a little moved.

At this time, a person walked into the house, glanced at Ao Bai and the others, and said, "My lord, there is an accident in the barracks again." A group of people fights in groups. A lot of people were injured. ”

Wang Wei looked embarrassed, and bowed: "I'll go with you to have a look." Su Meng'er stood up and prepared to be together, and bowed and said: "Meng'er, this group of people is so angry now, and I don't know how long I haven't seen a woman, and if you go, it will only make them unable to calm down." Can you stay? ”

Su Meng'er nodded. Didn't say anything more. Ao Bai took a few brocade guards out of the house and rode straight to the military camp. As soon as I got there, I saw a group of people with blue noses and swollen faces. It seems that the scale of the fight was not small. Wang Wei found a flag commander and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Ao Bai sat on the side, and did not listen to them. After understanding the situation, Wang Wei said: "Fool around, arrest him, and implement the army." took the lead in beating the chief, and also broke the legs of three people, killing him. At this time, a person stood up and said: "My lord, although he injured many people this time, but the other party also has a little responsibility, he is short-tempered and the whole army knows that he has practiced for many years, and it is a pity to kill him, it is better to beat a hundred military sticks." ”

Ao Bai heard these words very clearly, and stood up and asked, "This lord, what is your name?" "Who are you?"

Wang Wei hurriedly said: "He is Huang Peng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who came to inspect us on the order of the emperor, why don't you call your lord?" ”

The man hurriedly said, "See your lord." I am the main general, Chen Qihongfan. Ao Bai Zhengse said: "Lord Chen, you see that the person who makes trouble is a husband, so you have to turn him from a death sentence to a hundred military sticks, is that so?" But if this is the case, there are some related households in a team, there are people who they admire, and everyone comes out to plead, where is the military discipline? These are extraordinary times, and you will not make an example if something happens. Deserters will only increase. If you spare this person's death, will he thank you? Tomorrow you will become willing to serve your country? The military salary has not arrived, and the court is sorry for you, but if you fight with the brothers in the army, what is the use of such a high husband? Wang Wei immediately ordered: "Don't say anything." Make an example of what to do. Give me the order and cut it immediately! ”

He said this to make Ao Bai happy, after all, the other party is a big official from the imperial court, and if this kind of thing is covered up, it will make people see a joke. After a while, a soldier came back and said, "Lord Hui, Zhang Xianzhong has already been killed." ”

Wang Wei said: "Okay." Lord Huang, you see, don't laugh at our lack of military discipline! Hey, sir, why are you sweating on your head? ”

Ao Bai was not only sweating, but also had black lines on his head, and three crows flew by, and his mood dived in a straight line.

"That...... Lord Wang, I didn't hear clearly just now, what is the name of the soldier who made trouble? ”

"Zhang Xianzhong, I used to be a fast catcher. This person has a very bad temper, it is said that he has killed many people, and he does not obey the commander when he arrives here, and always collides with his superiors, but this time he did not expect to seriously injure the officer. The adults are right, this kind of person must not be shielded. Aobai's jaw dropped to the ground. I rub! I just came here and asked people to cut Zhang Xianzhong? It's a loss, and if you stay, you'll be a general.
