Regarding Ye Tinggui's rough plan, Hong Chengchou nodded slightly, and now he could only do this.

People were sent out before, but they were interrogated on the territory of the Hammer Bandit.

As a refugee, you will be taken away directly. There will be no irrelevant street scammers in the village. It is almost difficult to run back to Shaanxi.

As for the territory of King Gao Chuang in southern Jin, it was unobstructed. They were scattered in the county towns according to the kings of all sizes and were very easy to cut off.

These people are like bandits in Qin, and their heads are mostly military achievements of the official army.

Unlike the hammer bandit He Jinchao, he occupied a vast area of ​​northwestern Shanxi, but did not openly occupy many county towns. Moreover, the military discipline was much better than that of other rebel troops, and even the official army.

It is difficult for ordinary spies to enter their territory, and they also have to ask the farmers' association where they are located, whether there are any roadblocks or the like.

All of them were treated as "street snatchers", so many spies were taken to interrogate and heard that they were going to dig coal.

Now that Hong Chengchou has a way to openly scramble into the territory of the Hammer Bandit, he has to plan it carefully.

"How many people are suitable to send?"

"What kind of person is suitable to send?"

“How do they contact each other?”

"Governor Hong." Ye Tinggui bowed again: "In my opinion, I will choose from the surrendered thieves, and then select a few confidants from the army to mix into the refugees.

Among them, they have experience of following the thief, and their behavior will definitely be more in line with the hammer bandits, and they can't stand the rules of the hammer bandits. With our official army status, we will feel from the heart that they are superior to the thief and will inevitably give us a wholehearted message."

"Um."

Hong Chengchou nodded while pinching his beard. During the repeated wars, the traitors among the rebels were used on a large scale by the government army. After these people became officials, they scoffed at their previous identities.

The best performance was Bai Guangen, who killed the rebels without any mercy.

"Call him, let him give out twenty people, and find eighty people respectively, so that they think they are the only ones who have been sent and sent to Shanxi one after another. I don't believe that no one can send the news back."

"clear."

Ye Tinggui was able to deal with the bandits easily. Those who wanted to resist were dragged out by Hong Chengchou to slaughter. These people became honest and wanted to follow the official army.

Because they found out that they really could not defeat the official army.

"Governor Hong, there is another thing. When I was dealing with the accumulated cases, I found many corrupt officials. As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass, I need to investigate one or two."

After Ye Tinggui finished speaking, he handed over the memorial in his sleeve.

Hong Chengchou had no big idea about investigating and punishing corrupt officials, because His Majesty focused on quelling the rebellion.

When he opened the memorial, he saw that there were more than ten corrupt officials who embezzled military pay, but not many, but the content behind it made Hong Chengchou unable to sit still.

Based on the clues he had, Ye Tinggui estimated that he could find out that 500,000 shi of grain and rice were up, and that the silver was up.

If there is enough money and food, the combat effectiveness of the official army will only increase rapidly.

I think Hong Chengchou had to cry with the emperor and ask for the taxes in Shaanxi to intercept Shaanxi, and only then raised 400,000 taels of military pay. Now, as long as there are fewer than twenty people, it is far more than this number.

How can you not do such a great deal?

As long as the Hammer Bandits can be wiped out, the forces behind these people may not be able to pour dirty water on themselves if they want to be in front of His Majesty.

Because of Chongzhen's distrust of the Donglin Party, the court took the Northwest to be more and more people in high positions.

Hong Chengchou closed the memorial, exhaled, stared at him and said, "The clue is reliable?"

“It’s reliable.”

"I didn't expect that there were so many corrupt officials in my Ming Dynasty." Hong Chengchou said with a righteous look on his face: "I will help you investigate them immediately."

"yes."

After Ye Tinggui left, Hong Chengchou finally smiled on his face. He was having a headache that he would not have enough money and food next year.

Isn't this the door to the door?

Now he understands a little why the thieves want to rob rich families, because they really make money quickly!

This time, I will kill him ten or eight of him first, and then I will kill him ten or eight of him next time when I have no money and food.

With the support of Hong Chengchou, Ye Tinggui found that all the money and grain were up to 600,000 yuan per stone.

"Guangxian, you have been following me since Yansui, coaching firearms and earning the most achievements."

"The governor was wronged, and the subordinates were frightened."

Hong Chengchou also likes to promote capable people from the grassroots level. He smiled and said, "How many difficulties have you encountered?"

"Governor." Zuo Guang thought for a while: "I heard that there are also musket teams under the Hammer Bandits, and our official army also needs to expand one or two.

However, the quality of this musket is not very good. It needs to be built. It is best to cast cannons to bombard the rebels' cavalry, otherwise we will suffer losses in the future."

Zuo Guangxian is from Yulin, Shaanxi. When he returned home, he heard that the Hammer Bandits had only 10,000 troops, but they were all elite, including musketeers, cannons, cavalrymen.

"Okay." Hong Chengchou, who was rich and powerful, agreed immediately: "Build him two thousand muskets and one hundred cannons first. When he goes to Shanxi next year, he will bombard their hammer bandit cavalry."

Zuo Guang was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Thank you, Governor."

"You will control the quality of this artillery, so as not to let the craftsmen be fooled and cheat, and then waste time and not get good artillery. I'll just ask."

"My subordinates must do their best."

Bai Guangen directly sent his confidant Yang Xiutou and asked him to lead twenty brothers to be refugees and lurk into Shanxi.

Yang Xiutou was a general who was not stuck in mud. At that time, He Jinchao was the captain of Team 9. Yang Xiutou was just a minion and was not worthy of sitting in the seat.

"Brother, I'll go?" Yang Xiu's head was a little upset.

"Yes, you go." Bai Guangen pointed to himself and said, "If I hadn't seen him before, I would have gone by myself, and continued the Governor Zhang's reward for us. As long as you make meritorious contributions, you will be bound to be rich in high officials and generous salaries."

"But."

"Don't, think about the people who are secretly lurking under Wang Jiayin. Both of them have been promoted and made a fortune. Do you never want to stand out in your life?"

Bai Guangen patted his shoulder heavily: "How can you enjoy wealth and prosperity without taking certain actions? Besides, you just asked you to inquire about the news, but you didn't ask you to assassinate He Jinchao.

If you are lucky enough to get into his team, you may have even greater benefits, but don’t forget me, brother.”

Yang Xiutou was so bewitched by Bai Guangen, and immediately nodded heavily, made up his mind to go to Shanxi to take a look. At worst, let's be thieves again.

Anyway, it's not a loss!

Seeing Yang Xiu's head responding, Bai Guangen immediately became a smile: "Good brother, I'll find you a few beautiful girls tonight. Tomorrow, my legs are weak and I'll look like a refugee."

"Thank you, Brother Bai."

Yang Xiu's head suddenly became full of energy.
