After Yao Zongzhong left, Yang Sichang thought about the overall plan.

He thought that You Shilu swayed from side to side and did not listen to the command, and Chen Hongfan, another major soldier, suffered defeats in the battle with the thieves and returned to his hometown.

Up to now, except for He Renlong, there are no generals available for scheduling.

Since ancient times, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Why don't you post a bounty notice and post it everywhere?

In addition to rewarding Zhang Xianzhong, you can also express the determination of the court to suppress thieves by the way.

Thinking of this, Yang Sichang asked the old housekeeper to study ink.

He wrote two poems.

The first song: "This is a traitor in Gucheng, and now the dog is dying." Xing'an Pingli walked in all directions, and the heavenly soldiers caught up. fled and changed his name and surname, and fled in black clothes. The soldiers and civilians were tied up to surrender, and the jade belt brocade clothes were rewarded. ”

The second song: "Don't be an An An's starvation, follow the praying mantis." Coming and going to Chushu is rampant, and there is no way to make soldiers. Yuntun rain and sudden divisions, snakes and pigs rush to hide? Xu Er's soldiers and civilians were tied up and surrendered, and the knight was rewarded for his merits. ”

The old butler almost laughed out loud when he saw these two poems.

Yang Sichang looked at him and said, "If you want to laugh, laugh, why hide it." As he spoke, he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, and then asked, "What do you think?" ”

"Master, you are eighty percent of the way you are confused, and writing these two poems is too big a gap compared to your past." The old butler said.

"Tell me about it."

Seeing that the old man had no intention of reproaching, the old housekeeper said:

"The first one is too vulgar, and the sentences are like the words of a footpicker. The second song is so obvious that the people will be frightened when they hear it. ”

"If that's the case, it means that I didn't write these two poems in vain."

Yang Sichang said with a smile: "Let me tell you the truth, I just want to achieve this effect." ”

The old butler listened, confused.

"The first one, written for the common people, of course, should be written simply. Let some people understand and arrest or kill Zhang Xianzhong in exchange for brocade clothes and jade belts. ”

Yang Sichang said: "The second song is for the gentry. Let them know that I am determined to exterminate the thieves, and that I will not bend my knees to join the thieves because I can't see the future! ”

"But, the second ......"

"How many words do the people know? I don't understand. Yang Cheng should run education in Liaodong, but excluding the families of soldiers, only 12 out of 10 people are literate.

With his prestige, he repeatedly persuaded him to study, and the result is still like this. The people here are not even enough to eat, drink, and cloth, so how can they know too complicated words! ”

"The old slave understands."

The old butler suddenly realized and couldn't help but admire.

Doing different things for different people, pedantic nerds can't think of that.

On April 12 of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Yang Sichang posted a list in Jingchu, Sichuan and other places.

Zhang Xianzhong, who was in charge of reconnaissance intelligence in the army, got a notice by luck and brought it back.

The rebel soldiers handed the notice to Zhang Nengqi.

Zhang Nengqi saw that the soldiers were not allowed to bring Zhang Xianzhong.

"General Ai, why don't you give it to the Eight Kings?" The soldier was puzzled.

"Da is a good-looking person, if he knew that his reward was only five thousand taels, he would definitely be mad with anger."

Zhang Nengqi said to the soldiers in a threatening tone: "You don't want to be beaten like Zhang Kewang." ”

The bluffed soldiers waved their hands again and again: "The subordinates don't dare." ”

"Don't tell anyone about this, I'll tell you for you."

"My subordinates know."

Zhang Nengqi was relieved after hearing this, burned the notice, and went to see Zhang Xianzhong again.

Zhang Xianzhong was angry with Zhang Kewang, brandishing a whip and beating him.

As a result, Zhang Kewang had vivid whip marks on his back.

"Da, there is news from Xiangyang Mansion."

Zhang Nengqi said loudly: "Yang Sichang has no choice, he actually makes announcements everywhere and offers a reward of 10,000 taels of silver." ”

"Da Zhen has face, and forced Yang Sichang to offer a reward of tens of thousands of taels of silver."

Zhang Wenxiu patted the sycophants in time.

However, Zhang Xianzhong didn't buy it: "Can Yang Sichang come up with this money?" Ghost believes! Eighty percent had no money in their hands and no generals, so they used this trick.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it can be regarded as an explanation in front of Chongzhen Xiaoer. ”

"It's clear to you."

The righteous sons were patted by horses again.

Zhang Xianzhong listened to it and was used, and no longer fought Zhang Kewang.

Zhang Wenxiu hurriedly took Zhang Kewang away and applied stick sore medicine.

"Nengqi, come here, I have something to say to you."

Zhang Xianzhong called Zhang Nengqi to his side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhang Nengqi nodded frequently, listened to it, and assured Zhang Xianzhong to complete the task.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the people saw a few lines of words on the wall of the superintendent's yamen.

They don't know each other, they just find it interesting.

When Yang Sichang heard about it, he rushed to the door with his sick body, and when he saw it, he almost vomited blood.

The words on the wall say: There are those who come to the Yang Pavilion to descend, and our Lao Tzu will reward three coins of silver. Zhang Xianzhong, the eight kings of Xiying, Tong Suo will never break his promise, mainly because we can afford this money.

What purchasing power did the three coins of silver have at the end of the Ming Dynasty?

You can buy about eight live chickens.

Yang Sichang was angry, this is no longer an ordinary thief, and he must punch hard.

On April 15, Yang Sichang, as a superintendent, ordered soldiers and horses from six provinces.

With He Renlong's Qin soldiers as the main force, supplemented by Sichuan soldiers, they intercepted the thief army in the direction of Sichuan. Another 3,000 Yuan soldiers were transferred into Sichuan to reinforce the Sichuan soldiers and He Renlong.

He ordered the general soldier You Shilu to lead his troops and horses to Xing'an and Pingli in Shaanxi to intercept the thief army fleeing to Shaanxi.

The heavy responsibility of encirclement and suppression is entrusted to other people.

With Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing as the vanguard, Sun Yingyuan, the general of the Beijing camp, led 11,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion, 3,000 Liao soldiers and 2,000 Datong soldiers to follow up and encircle them on all sides.

Yang Sichang's wishful thinking was to use these crotch-pulling soldiers to drive Zhang Xianzhong and other thieves to Sichuan or Shaanxi, where there were real elite guards.

He Renlong, who stayed in Sichuan, and You Shilu, who stayed in Shaanxi, were able to wait for work at ease and annihilate Zhang Xianzhong in one fell swoop.

All the soldiers and horses carried out the order, but You Shilu did not listen.

When You Shilu saw the warrant, he scolded angrily: "Yang Sichang is really a melon critic, and he is even more rotten compared to Inspector Yuan."

Lao Tzu doesn't listen to you. ”

He ordered on the spot that after the whole army had sailed to Xingli, it should not be stationed there, but would continue its march westward.

"Father, this is not appropriate." You Gong was a little afraid to do so.

Don't say that he didn't dare, the generals under You Shilu also looked at each other, and they were all a little scared.

You Shilu said: "Yang Sichang knows a fart, Gao Yingxiang was defeated and killed in Heishuiyu, even Li Zicheng, who has the hardest bones, came to Huguang, who would dare to run to Shaanxi."

In addition, Yang Sichang's melon criticism, which wrote on the notice 'Xing'an Pingli goes to all directions', has exposed our troop deployment.

Is there such a stupid superintendent as the fuck? The general will not be affected by the foreign king's life, this time you will follow me to fight, and if something happens, it will be on my head. ”

With these words, the army quickly moved westward, stationed in Xing'an, Pingli and other places, and after a period of calamity, it marched south, entering Shu to Kuizhou Prefecture.

This is the second unit since the end of the Ming Dynasty that did not obey the orders of the superintendent.

In the past, whether it was yang or yin, or whether the food had to be soup, most of the general soldiers did not dare to blatantly disobey the orders of the superintendent.

It heralds the emergence of a new situation.

This is exactly what it is:

A trip to the mountain, a trip to the water, a trip to Kuizhou, a thousand tent lights in the middle of the night.

The wind is more, the snow is more, and the stars are falling, and the sky is mistaken in this life.
