Lao Pan really felt that he was uncomfortable to death.

Lu Xiangsheng can't send troops, what will he do to resist Zhang Mu?

Do you want to resist with your head?

Thinking that his baby son had been arrested by Zhang Mu, and he couldn't tell how bad the crime was, Lao Pan felt like a knife, but on the contrary, these colleagues were dragging themselves back one by one.

A mouthful of old blood spit out, and Lao Pan simply fainted directly.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, and then asked people to send Lao Pan down, and then ordered the officials to provide him with grain and grass, and there must be no mistakes, and those who violate the order will be beheaded.

Afterwards, Lu Xiangsheng went to the back hall to rest.

"Go, bring me the news of the Dengzhou thief chief Zhang Mu and the bandits!" Lu Xiangsheng transferred to the back hall, but he did not rest, but immediately asked people to recruit Zhang Mu's information.

"Yes!" Qiu Maosu, the prefect of Nanyang, spoke respectfully.

After a while, Qiu Maosu brought a few official documents and placed them in front of Lu Xiangsheng's desk. target

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the paperwork in his hand carefully, but his brows couldn't help frowning, there was not much information about Zhang Mu, and it could even be said that it was pitiful.

After all, compared to these giants, Zhang Mu can only be regarded as a little transparent.

At present, it is only known that Zhang Mu is entrenched near Dengzhou County.

Sphere of influence, I don't know!

How many people are there? I don't know!

I don't know who is under my command!

I only know that Zhang Mu has a green face and fangs, a pockmarked face, and in addition, he is infinitely powerful, invulnerable, and can also use evil methods, take people's photographs, and be good at demagoguery.

The more he looked back, the more Lu Xiangsheng felt.

The key information can be described as a question and a third clue.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, looked at Qiu Maosu and asked, "Why are there so few documents in the government?" ”

"Your Excellency!"

Qiu Maosu said respectfully: "This Zhang Mu gathered troops to resist taxes, never attacked the government, did not have more than a thousand soldiers, and never took the initiative to attack the government, so he is not a giant!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't speak.

Indeed, compared to these rebel armies, Zhang Mu can really only be regarded as a little transparent, if he changed to other rebel armies, he would have killed officials and rebelled a long time ago, and he couldn't wait to snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

However, Zhang Mu's performance was very restrained.

Even, when Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng came over, Zhang Mu didn't join them, and it seemed that he was staying on this one-acre and three-point land territory in peace.

This kind of bandit is often satisfied with a small place at present, and according to normal reasoning, it is indeed not worth paying attention to.

Zhang Mu did not attack the county seat, but only went to Dengzhou County to seize the supplies of Dengzhou County

"Let Pan County Order come and see me!" Lu Xiangsheng said directly.

After a while, Lao Pan also came to Lu Xiangsheng, at this time, Lao Pan was really broken, saw Lu Xiangsheng kowtowed, and then heard Lu Xiangsheng say: "Pan County Order, what is the situation in this Dengzhou County?" How do you know the situation in Dengzhou County? ”

"My lord, Xia Guan was originally a person from Zhangzhuang in Dengzhou County, and now he has returned to Dengzhou to take up his post, and before he returned to Dengzhou County, there is news that this thief Zhang Mu has gathered thousands of people, and he has divided the grain and land equally, please beware of Zhang Mu!"

Lu Xiangsheng frowned, and Lao Pan continued: "In addition, the lower officials still learned that not long ago, Zhang Mu had a blind date for his soldiers and let the soldiers get married, and now, Liu Ji Town, Longyan Township, and several townships in Dengzhou County have all fallen into Zhang Mu's hands, and the lower officials think that if this Zhang Mu can't be removed early, sooner or later it will cause a big disaster!" ”

This remark is definitely Lao Pan's added fuel and vinegar, he must make the matter extremely serious, so that Lu Xiangsheng can make up his mind to attack Zhang Mu.

Lu Xiangsheng's face became solemn, and he vaguely felt that Zhang Mu was not simple.

Lao Pan continued to tell his views and opinions.

And Lu Xiangsheng also has his own judgment.

He was keenly aware that this Zhang Mu was really not simple.

However, his army has already begun to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng, if it is three or five hundred people to attack Zhang Mu, it is not easy to do anything, this Zhang Mu is obviously also a climate, at least one or two thousand people are needed, but if one or two thousand people are divided, it is not good to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng.

Lu Xiangsheng groaned slightly, looked at Lao Pan and said, "In this way, this official will allow you to recruit Xiangyong!" ”

Recruit the villagers!

Lao Pan was shocked, and his face showed a look of surprise: "My lord, really? ”

"This official will play the imperial court, and now the official is the prime minister of the five provinces, and he has this power!" Lu Xiangsheng said: "You are allowed to recruit Xiangyong in Dengzhou County, in addition, this official will come to give you some weapons, and you will take Xiangyong to exterminate Zhang Mu!" ”

Old Pan suddenly became excited.

With Xiang Yong and weapons, if you want to deal with Zhang Mu, isn't that appropriate?

The Ming Dynasty still fully learned the lessons of the previous dynasty, and the ordinary people who recruited the township warriors did not have this power, which would lead to the local area becoming bigger.

And Chongzhen has a serious distrust of the courtiers, the general magistrate is absolutely not qualified to recruit the villagers, the prefect can, but the whole process also requires extremely complicated procedures.

First of all, you need to report to the governor, and after reporting to the governor, you have to communicate with the three divisions of Henan, and after the communication, you have to report to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War to discuss, report to the cabinet, and the cabinet to discuss and the celebrant to talk to the celebrant and the celebrant to end, and then to talk to Chongzhen, Chongzhen also has to arrange the town guard eunuch from the Beijing division to investigate, and then report.

When the process is completed, it will be two or three years later.

The advantage of this is to prevent the place from becoming bigger, and the disadvantage is that by the time the court reacts, the momentum of the thieves is already extremely huge.

Lu Xiangsheng has this power, but he is also under great pressure, and if someone uses this as an excuse to join him, he will not be in trouble.

However, Lu Xiangsheng is keenly aware that this gang of bandits is not simple, they are not like people who are satisfied with a few acres of land, they are more like an organized and disciplined team, this kind of person, you must be killed in the embryonic stage.

Participate in the ginseng!

Lu Xiangsheng felt that it was necessary for him to exterminate this gang of bandits, at least, let Lao Pan delay Zhang Mu's development first, and then wait for himself to eliminate Li Zicheng and then eliminate Zhang Mu.

As for the weapons given to Lao Pan, they are not good weapons, they are all a lot of broken copper and iron seized by the Liukou, which is enough to recruit Xiang Yong.

Lao Pan was also excited, and he said respectfully: "My lord, it's just that Nanyang Mansion is still some distance away from Dengzhou County!" ”

"This official will arrange personal soldiers for you and send them to Dengzhou County!"

Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go!" ”

Lao Pan is very grateful, Qiu Maosu on the side is envious to death, this Pan County order can really impress Lu Xiangsheng, and he actually allowed him to form a township Yong.

However, just before Lao Pan took office, Zhang Mu got the news.

Lao Pan came back, in addition, Lu Xiangsheng noticed himself, on the one hand, he allowed Lao Pan to form a township Yong, and actually gave Lao Pan some weapons and equipment.

Not to mention the equipment, this is an extremely scarce thing for Zhang Mu.

How did you sing that song?

No guns, no cannons, the enemy made us!
