Chapter 152 Too Much Illiteracy (Monthly Pass)
When the Hongwu Dynasty began, this was Guandu.
It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Daning on the other side of the river was rich in fine horses, but this is now a thing of the past.
Two freshly slaughtered lambs were roasting over the fire.
Gao Yingxiang looked at He Jinchao's map:
"In the winter, you send people to cross the ice unexpectedly and capture Daning County.
We don’t have to worry about being attacked by Shanxi’s army when we are here today, now the Yellow River fairies are on our side.”
The Fairy of the Yellow River (referred to as Cao Niangniang by the locals) is the daughter of the Jade Emperor. She has twice descended to earth to save suffering in the world.
The temple is on the other side of the Yellow River, and the incense is very prosperous. All the passing ships come to worship and pray for peace.
He Jinchao inserted the dagger into the lamb, pointed at the map and said:
"We only need to conquer Pu County next, and the land of Shanxi will be ours to invade!"
Pu County.
Administratively, it is affiliated to Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province.
Geographically, it is located in the southwest of Shanxi Province, at the western foot of the southern end of Luliang Mountain.
It borders Linfen and Hongdong in the east, Daning in the west, Ji County in the south, and Fenxi and Xi County in the north.
There is a hundred miles of danger between the north and the south, and there is a thin line of sky between the east and west.
Therefore, there is a saying that "it is the throat of Hedong River and the gateway of Western Qin Dynasty".
Although there are no obstacles like other places, the terrain is dangerous.
The rebel army set off from Daning to Pu County, where there was a thin line of sky overhead. It would light up late and dark early, so it was easy to encounter an ambush.
Because Liu Erhu occupied Daning, Pu County has been ordered to take strict precautions.
After everyone listened, they had the same feeling.
The road to Pu County is not easy!
"Can we recruit surrender?" Lao Huihui asked Ma Shouying.
"The magistrate surnamed Gao killed the person I sent to recruit him. I will kill him." He Jinchao picked up the knife again and scratched the lamb.
"It seems that this Shanxi official doesn't like our Shaanxi hammer bandits!"
Liu Guoneng laughed twice, then changed his tone: "Then kill this dog official."
"Um."
Gao Yingxiang nodded, only by killing a few more dog officers who resisted to the end in the Ming Dynasty will the living dog officers be afraid of them.
Even though the rebels were causing serious trouble in Shaanxi, none of the county magistrates surrendered to the rebels.
Otherwise, commit suicide and leave yourself some dignity.
If you don't want to spend money to buy peace, the most stubborn thing is to call on the people in the county to defend the city.
Without him, he would look down on you.
The large-scale surrender of civilian officials to the rebel army must have occurred in the late Chongzhen period. These people thought it was a change of dynasty.
Scholars should pay attention to character and reputation.
All dynasties have needed scholars to govern the country. If they surrender to thieves, others will kill them.
But if everyone surrenders at the end of the dynasty, it means that God is not on the side of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not that they do not want to be loyal ministers.
"Who is willing to test this attack on Pu County?" Gao Yingxiang looked at the generals around him.
"I come."
Liu Guoneng patted his chest when he broke into the collapsed sky: "Brother He has sent people to capture Daning. If you can't survive, let him do it alone."
"Okay." Gao Yingxiang smiled, turned to He Jinchao and said, "Brother He, let your people get Brother Liu's people across first."
"No problem." He Jinzhao looked at the unshaven Liu Guoneng: "Brother Liu, how many people, how many livestock and how much food do you have under your command?"
This question actually stopped Chuang Taotian Liu Guoneng.
There are too few scholars who are thieves at this time.
There are even fewer people in the military who can keep accounts.
They themselves don't know how many things they have carried.
Anyway, just a bunch of them, or just one car for measurement.
A bunch of illiterate grass-roots teams, real numbers are normal.
"I'm not sure." Liu Guoneng grinned and said, "Why do you ask?"
"How to quickly get your people across the Yellow River so as not to leave people behind, and have a good organizational structure to help convey orders."
After He Jinchao explained, he turned around and shouted: "Old Party."
"Hey." Dang Shousu has been waiting by the side.
"Which squadron has it been shipped to now?"
"Back to the captain, four squadrons have passed. The boatmen are resting and eating to regain their strength."
"Yeah." He Jinchao thought for a moment and then ordered:
"Use lime powder to mark out a large area. Tomorrow, let the people who want to break into Big Brother Liu stand in that circle and board the ship one by one near the pier to avoid crowding and stampeding.
In addition, I sent someone to tell Liu Erhu to make more dry food and bring it to Brother Liu’s pioneers to eat on the road tomorrow.”
"Understood." Dang Shousu made a mental note and asked: "Captain, do you have any other requirements?"
"No, you can go and rest yourself."
Many leaders listened to He Jinchao's words and found out that most of them were in the same situation as Liu Guoneng who broke into the sky.
In this day and age, scholars are a treasure.
If any scholar is a thief, he must be held in good stead.
Among these people, the only one who could understand was that he was a scholar and studied hard in the temple. As a result, he was always accused of treason.
Under the public outcry, the county magistrate sent people to arrest him, so he could only lead everyone to rebel.
Therefore, keeping accounts was not a problem for him.
Even if we can't find scholars, there are still only a few shop assistants who can read, write and do math even though they talk a lot.
If someone has the ability to make a living, why should he have a hopeless career as a traitor who kills his brains with you?
He Jinchao looked at Liu Guoneng and smiled: "Brother Liu, if you don't mind, I'll send a few people to your place to check it out, so as to avoid making a mess when crossing the river tomorrow?"
"You postmen also learn this?"
Liu Guoneng glanced at He Jinchao and then at Li Zicheng.
"The postmen must be familiar with the contents of the documents." He Jinchao smiled at Li Zicheng who was sitting behind him and said, "Brother Li, do you think that's right?"
"Um."
Li Zicheng smiled and nodded, feeling grateful for He Jinchao.
Liu Guoneng sighed and said he regretted it.
I should have known more postmen. There are quite a lot of postmen in the northwest, but it's a pity that I didn't hug them.
He changed his words, not wanting his old background to be known to others, and would rather stay in a mess.
He Jinchao didn't talk to him when he saw him, and he didn't rush up.
On the contrary, Bai Jiu'er, who was standing by the side, grabbed He Jinchao's arm and said that she was short of an accountant.
I hope He Jinchao can help with the whole process, and always take He Jinchao's arm to rub her soft parts intentionally or unintentionally.
Of course, he wore thick clothes in spring, so He Jinchao didn't feel anything at all.
"Brother Gao, after we enter Shanxi, don't rob ordinary people. Those wealthy households and bureaucratic landlords will have enough food and drink for us."
"It's natural."
Gao Yingxiang smiled, admiring He Jinchao even more.
This kind of person is affectionate and righteous, so you don't have to worry about him stabbing you in the back.
Why did Gao Yingxiang only talk and laugh with He Jinchao?
In the final analysis, it was his personality charm that was completely different from the rest of the Ming Dynasty.
After eating the lamb, Azalea was extremely puzzled as to why Bai Jiuer would do this to her?
Bai Jiuer stroked her short hair. In fact, if she hadn't noticed that He Jinchao was always looking at her, she wouldn't have been so eager.
