Chapter 147: The month of negotiation completion
"Hahaha."
The hammer bandits on the city wall watched the officers and soldiers flee.
Finally they couldn't contain their inner joy and shouted and celebrated loudly.
"The dog officers and soldiers are running away."
"Bah, what a bunch of cowards."
"Hahaha, I killed three dog officers wearing double armor."
"I killed nine of them."
"Bah, bragging!"
"Don't believe it, when the new guy comes, I will be the squad leader."
"The captain has ordered us to have extra food tonight."
Extra meals means you can eat meat.
The messengers ran on the city wall and announced, which caused a burst of cheers from the city.
The snow was falling heavily, and a vast expanse of white came into view.
Without the impact of the war, the people still look forward to the auspicious snow heralding a good harvest.
The lively cheers from Ganquan County drove away the lonely figures of the officers and soldiers leaving.
The news that the Ming army left many frozen corpses and left Ganquan County was known to those who were interested in inquiring.
It can be said that many forces in Shaanxi are paying attention to the war in Ganquan County.
Fushi County (Yan'an).
Chen Chong, a tribesman of Ningyang Marquis, was currently circling the cart shop in the city with his strong men.
In the big car shop, the fire was burning brightly.
He reported to Beijing the matter of Hong Chengchou cutting off the Chen family's financial path. As expected, someone in the DPRK was involved with Hong Chengchou.
However, Hong Chengchou has done well in Shaanxi recently and belongs to Jian Zai Di Xin, so he has not caused any waves.
Since you can't defeat him in the court, let's seek justice on the battlefield.
The matter of seizing a large amount of money from the Chen family must not be left alone.
Chen Chong heard the latest news from his subordinates. He Jinchao, the leader of the hammer bandits, gave Yang He a large sum of Ming army standard weapons and equipment, and then the army withdrew.
Where the hell can you explain this kind of thing?
Yang He, the dignified military officer of the Ming Dynasty and the governor of the three sides, "offered sacrifices" to a group of rebels to buy peace!
Chen Chong also understood that the imperial court was in troubled times now, and the Hou Jin Tatars directly attacked the city of Beijing.
All the best soldiers from the five border areas were sent to the capital to serve the king.
The remaining officers and soldiers took advantage of the rebels.
Yang He advocated appeasement, but people like Hong Chengchou would definitely not be willing to accept it and would definitely find their way back.
If Chen Chong wanted to secretly play the role of a rebel, he would have to find another opportunity to kick Hong Chengchou's back hook.
It's a pity that the war in Ganquan County is over and there is no chance.
He couldn't help feeling that Hong Chengchou was very lucky.
Chen Chong took a sip of the warm wine and suddenly thought of something. When he and He Jinchao were "arguing over wine", he seemed to have mentioned that the Tatars from outside the country would take a detour to Beijing!
At that time, I told the head of the family that I wanted to ask Marquis Ningyang to come forward to remind him, but the head of the family did not give a definite answer.
How could a rebel have such astonishing judgment!
Chen Chong drank another sip of wine. After Hong Chengchou swindled his money, he focused all his energy on defeating Hong Chengchou and forgot about it.
Now that I think about it carefully, He Jinchao is really not an ordinary person. I will have to travel more with him and do some business in the future.
Gao Yingxiang, who was based in Anding County, received a letter congratulating Jinchao.
"Hahaha, Brother He made a good judgment."
Before Gao Yingxiang finished reading the letter, he stood up and said to everyone:
"The Tartars have already attacked the city of Beijing. Then Chongzhen called many people to go to Qinwang, and all the soldiers from the five frontiers went there."
Li Zicheng also breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought it would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect it to be an opportunity.
"Are these dog Tatars outside the pass really that powerful?" Liu Guoneng touched his nose and said:
"Although those Mongolian Tatars were beaten repeatedly, I heard they were beaten like dogs."
"The Mongolian Tatars are Mongolian Tatars, and the ones who invaded Beijing this time are Jurchen Tatars." Lao Huihui Ma Shouying said while smoking dry smoke:
"Now the Mongolian Tatars don't have much ability at all. I heard that the Jurchen Tatars are very few in number, but they are all brave."
"I don't care about this Tatar or that Tatar."
Gao Yingxiang waved his hand, and he also read the rest of He Jinchao's letter: "Brother He invites us to meet him in the early spring and rush to Shanxi."
"What are we going to Shanxi for?" Liu Guoneng stared at the sky: "Wait a minute, Brother He doesn't want us to join forces and go to Shanxi to plunder and make a fortune?"
When many people get rid of the problem of food and clothing, their thinking will change.
Many leaders of the rebel army only want to make money and steal beautiful girls. This is the correct logical sequence.
"Yeah, that's what it means."
Gao Yingxiang is not opposed to others getting rich. It is simply a dream to expect them to have a high level of consciousness.
He put down the letter in his hand: "Brother He said that there has been a severe drought in Shaanxi for consecutive years, and even the landlords have no food left.
Those officials in Shanxi are prohibited from transporting grain to Shaanxi. Food in Shaanxi is so expensive.
Now there are many wealthy households in Shanxi and there is plenty of food. Brother He said that with so many of us, we can go to Shanxi to rob the landlords of food."
"That's a good idea." Lao Huihui Ma Shouying took a nice puff of dry tobacco.
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Liu Guoneng also agrees.
After all, He Jinchao has a good reputation, but not everyone can compete with Hong Chengchou and win.
Let's go to Shanxi to make a fortune together. With more people and more strength, we will definitely turn Shanxi into a mess!
Coerce the people of Shanxi to rebel against the Ming Dynasty!
"Since everyone agrees with Brother He's suggestion, I will reply to him and let's make preparations early to go to Shanxi in the spring."
Gao Yingxiang made the final decision, complaining that He Jinchao wanted to send a small group of troops into Shanxi first to provoke the army.
It turned out that he had already made preparations to leave Shaanxi for Shanxi.
Gao Yingxiang smiled, He Jinchao was indeed a good candidate for rebellion, and he had already thought through the next step.
Leave Shaanxi, a place of right and wrong, and develop and grow elsewhere.
The people of Ganquan County have spent the first fat year in their lives, and they don’t know when the next fat year will come again.
Because their little fellow countryman He Dawang decided to leave Ganquan in the beginning of spring and take people out to explore, and would not plunder all parts of Shaanxi.
Some people planned to follow his team, while others were worried that after he left, the government would send people to take over Ganquan County, and old scores would be settled.
Because many people became representatives and worked together to handle political affairs in Ganquan County.
In any case, for such a long time, the people of Ganquan County have become accustomed to the existence of He Jinchao, the "mountain king".
At least he acted fairly and did not bully the people at will. He even dealt with the local ruffians and corrupt officials.
Ganquan County may not be closed at night, but it is also prosperous.
At least the heavily besieged government troops outside the city did not affect too many people's lives. Only firewood and carbon sources were scarce.
