"Zheng Xianggong, why is it troublesome? …… Liu asked with big beautiful eyes.

Liu's curious appearance made Zheng Lang think of Jiang Xing'er, with big eyes, beautiful appearance, and similar figures. He didn't hide it, and said: "Liu, the rest of the people are easy to handle, but the two of you and your wife and some leaders have done a lot of evil, killing officials and soldiers, and looting warehouses, if you are released like this, will the court agree?" ”

will agree, no matter how much they "do evil", they are not as good as Song Jiang:

After the anti-gold hero Zhang Shuye captured Song Jiang, did he not allow him to surrender? But now the court is different, and the anger is overwhelming...... That's where the trouble comes in.

It's not easy to deal with, the rest of the department definitely don't have to worry, - once you put it back, you don't dare to make trouble again, Guan Jian is Zhang Hai, he is different from Hou Xiaoliu, he already has a certain prestige, if the court treats him badly in the future, and then rebels, there will be many people who will follow. Not to mention anything else, Li Zicheng is like this, he can't fight and surrender, he can slow down and then rebel, and finish the vitality of the Ming Dynasty. Directly caused a more closed and backward dynasty to replace the Han dynasty, and then ......

Zheng Lang was also worried that Zhang Hai and Li Zicheng, the eight lambs of the king, were similar to each other, and he tried his best to disagree with the court to make peace, but if he rebelled, then he would be very sad.

It's better to fight!

There will be sacrificial classes, but not serious, and the right is a practical exercise:

Thinking of this, he said: "Liu, you go back, prepare for war." ”

We don't allow you to fight, let's fight.

"Zheng Xianggong, we are not so easy to bully."

Zheng Lang laughed again, amused by her angry words, how could it be said that Zhang Hai, even Song Jiang, what does it matter. The Water Margin blew Song Jiang to a rare place in the sky, and there was nothing on the ground, but in fact, Uncle Zhang only temporarily recruited a thousand people, and captured all the thirty-six heroes such as Song Jiang in Qilu. It was only later that the rebels from all over Shandong rushed to hear the news that 5,000 people were recruited and all the rebels were destroyed: it was not that the rebels were capable, but that the officials were too incompetent. Really meet - two capable ministers, what heroes and heroes will be destroyed in front of the state apparatus. Can Uncle Zhang's scattered soldiers keep up with his more than 5,000 strong troops? Moreover, Zhang Haiding was inferior to Song Jiang, and the imperial court was not the imperial court of Song Huizong.

Then he said, "Liu, do you think you are very brave?" Question—How many Tangut people did you kill my soldiers, Zhao Bao and Zhao Sheng? ”

Zhao Bao and Zhao Sheng thought for a while and said, "Xianggong, I don't know, where can I count at least fifty, six, six or seventy people." ”

These two men alone killed more than a hundred enemies, all of whom were outnumbered by Zhang Hai's men:

Zheng Lang said again: 1 The official is in the Ding's "Zhai-Zhan, facing 120,000 elite soldiers of the Western Xia, led by Yuan Hao, the lord of the Western Xia State, and he did not put it in the heart of the official, what are the three or four thousand people under your command? - A spoonful of water, just want to drown the vicissitudes of life, ignorance! ”

"Slave ......"

"Go for it:"

"Slave, slave ......" Liu suddenly cried loudly:

I don't know if she cried because she felt that her future was at a loss, or because she was scared by Zheng Lang or cried because she felt that her fate was unfair, but this trick really worked. Zheng Lang frowned at her crying and said, "Don't cry." Okay, this official gives you a chance. If you want to make peace, let Zhang Hai talk in person, he calls himself a hero, and he actually lets a woman come forward, what kind of hero is he! Go! ”

Zhang Hai really has this courage, maybe give him a chance: no, just wait for death.

The army crossed the Han River and set off along the northern foot of Wudang Mountain towards Jinzhou. At this time, he received news from Han Qi that he had defeated Guo Miaoshan's rebel army several times, and the important leader Fan San was also killed by Ji Zhen in a valley in a blockade battle...,

There were less than 2,000 people left in the rest of Guo Miaoshan, which was compressed in the southern line of Shangshan and Chang'an to the southern line of Zhongnanshan, and the situation was very embarrassing. And with the passage of Zheng Lang's army, Dengzhou-Suizhou-killed...... The chemical army and bandits were all wiped out, and Zhang Hai was also compressed to the west side of Junfang Erzhou and the narrow area of Jinzhou

For the imperial court, the banditry was no longer so serious.

The problem of employing people is not only the successive heavy punishment of several important officials, so that the officials can cheer up their spirits, the arrival of materials, and the evacuation of displaced people, but also the personal factor. If Fan Yong is allowed to preside over the "watermark" pressure of the town, no matter how other strategies are arranged, the bandits will not be alleviated so quickly:

Han Qi also said in the letter that he would find a way to force Zhang Hai's righteous army to the north, and combine the two righteous armies into shares, and attack the north and south. It's a good way, I don't know if Han Qi came up with it himself, or if it was Ji Zhen and Jingtai's proposal

Zheng Lang replied that he agreed, and led the army to cross the remaining veins on the west side of Wudang Mountain and set off towards Zhushan.

Go to the back of the Navy.

When he arrived in Zhushan County, the military and civilians welcomed him, and Zheng Lang had a good reputation among the people, and second, Sima Guang's father Sima Chi left a good political record here, Sima Guang was Zheng Lang's son, and he was appointed as an official and left a hundred generations, and the people of Zhushan still miss Sima Chi.

In fact, Zheng Lang did this, the military discipline was strict, and he did not commit any offense against the people, and he faintly had some shadows of the Houcai Yuejia army, and he also faintly justified the name of the Song Dynasty army. That's the foundation. To put it mildly, it is to mobilize the power of the masses and reject the elite theory of Mr. Sun Yat-sen's early dynasty, which is the inspiration given to him by the failure of the Xinhai Revolution and the success of Taizu, focusing on mobilizing the masses to participate!

They did not enter the city, but camped outside the city—in a wasteland.

When Zhang Haiyijun heard that Zheng Lang's army was gradually approaching, he was very helpless and had to move his army to Fenghuang Mountain in the west of Jinzhou. In fact, with the march of the Zhengzhou Lang army to the west, the functions of the two state governments of Fangjun were all restored again. However, when the Song army arrived in Zhushan, it was not far from Zhang Haibu.

After setting up the camp, Zheng Langwei refused the invitation of the officials of Fangzhou and Zhushan, and as usual, he ate and lived with the soldiers in the barracks, which made the officials very ashamed.

It was getting dark, and the three armies began to rest, and they had to rush tomorrow to rush to the upper reaches of the Han River and copy the south road to Fenghuang Mountain. Zhang Haibu fled, attacked from the north and south, and prepared to resist stubbornly if he did not flee, and was left on the spot in Fenghuang Mountain.

Zheng Lang was also ready to rest, and the soldiers reported again: "Xianggong, there is a person outside who calls himself Zhang Hai and asks to see Xianggong." ”

Zheng Lang and Di Qing looked at each other, and they were a little surprised, and thought in their hearts, did they really pick it?

— The way out.

Outside the camp—a big man knelt on the ground, and dozens of Song troops around him were like facing a great enemy. In fact, it is not so fierce, but there are peace and rumors among the people, which makes the soldiers nervous. Zheng Lang looked at the acquaintance, and almost captured himself alive, how could he not know?

"Xiaomin, see Zheng Xianggong."

"Well, you're going to explain ......?"

"Xiaomin out of helplessness - some dog officials want to occupy my wife, Liao Yi is harsh on Xiaomin, and finally goes down the wrong path. If the court disposes of it, please dispose of me, it's all the fault of the small people, and it has nothing to do with anyone else:"

"Then I ask you, where is your wife now, and where are they when I heard that there were more than twenty thieves at the beginning of your trouble? If these people don't come, how can the officials see your sincerity? ”

"I heard the lady say that it was Zheng Xianggong who asked me to appreciate it." Zhang Hai replied stiffly.

"Wrong, it's far from enough, if you want to surrender to the imperial court, the dozens of people who you just started to rebel and rebel and your lady must rise up."

"Zheng Xianggong, why did you go back on your word?"

"I have given an order, as long as I surrender to the court, the past will not be investigated. However, after many days of the order, you still did not submit to the imperial court, and continued to resist the "no watermark". My army is marching westward for the sky, and when the officer sees your sincerity, he will be less of the day. You'd better go back. ”…,

Zheng Lang's voice was very soft, but there was infinite murder in his voice:

In his heart, he didn't want to recruit An, it was too troublesome, and although Zhang Hai surrendered, he left behind. Zheng Lang directly broke it and said: "Your sincerity is insufficient, and the official does not believe in your submission." Also, you have no choice between killing and release, and you don't have the capital to negotiate conditions with the official! ”

Zhang Hai left in frustration and came to a dense forest a few miles away, and more than a dozen people greeted Shangcai and asked, "Leader Zhang, how did the little prime minister reply?" ”

"He doesn't really want us to be obedient...... The tone is very tough. ”

"We fought to the end, what are we afraid of him!" —said a big man.

However, there was hesitation in the eyes of several others, and when they set up camp in the evening, they quietly peeked in the distance, and saw the military discipline of this army, and in Zhushan, Zheng Lang still sent some scouts to check around, and they, the pedestrians, were almost seen by the scouts. Such a Song army made them even more chilled:

Zhang Hai looked at their expressions, and his heart was even more depressed.

The next day, the army continued to the west, approaching Nuwa Mountain, and the north again spread the good news that Jingtai broke through the Guo Miao Mountain Department in the Meridian Valley, killed the party gentlemen, killed or captured more than 400 people of the righteous army, so far there were less than 1,000 people left in the Guo Miao Mountain Department, and even sent people to contact Zhang Hai and ask to take refuge in Zhang Hai:

Zhang Hai and his wife were dumbfounded when they saw this letter, we will be difficult to protect ourselves soon, you guys come again, Han Qi and Zheng Lang are attacked, we don't even know how to die. Finally forced them to be in a hurry, and the husband and wife led more than 20 people to Nuwa Mountain, didn't they want to be the leader? Almost all the leaders are here, and they want to kill their vices, whatever. It's gambling

Zheng Lang pinched his nose, looked at the group of people, and then looked at Zhang Hai, and said, "You really came to surrender?" ”

What is this called?

Liu said: "Zheng Xianggong, the slave has always listened to you, why is it not a word?" ”

"I'm a dog officer, why do you count?"

Liu's submersion.

"Actually, if you want to surrender, the best time is when the official leads the army to Tongbai Mountain, when the official rewards the remaining Xiaoliu Division, and you still have a chance to surrender. Now Han Xianggong is in the north and is about to wipe out all Guo Miaoshan, and the army of this official is coming west, you are in danger, and you surrender at this time, but it makes it difficult for this official to live. I don't know how thick the sky is, Your Majesty is benevolent, and the official has repeatedly given you opportunities, but you have repeatedly let it go, and only when you are dying will you negotiate with the court. What qualifications do you have, and what capital do you have to negotiate with the imperial court? The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, you rebel and make trouble, you all violate the rules of heaven, and you still have to negotiate? But Your Majesty is benevolent, and this official will give you a chance. You go back, all the bandits will surrender, if anyone slips through the net, don't blame the official for being ruthless: if the crime is minor, the official will send someone to escort him home, and he will not be held responsible, but he must keep it on file in the government to see the aftermath. Those who commit serious crimes will be scattered and transferred to the barracks, and the same will be seen after the effect. This is also the only life force for you. With that, he continued to blow these people away

Zhang Hai suddenly came to his senses, stood in the distance and shouted: "Zheng Xianggong, are you organizing us into the forbidden army?" ”

Zheng Lang said: "If you are not put into the forbidden army to be guarded, will you also be included in the Lei army and be at ease?" ”

"We do."

"Do you want to bring all your men and show them to the official, otherwise you will wait to die."

"Yes, Zheng Xianggong, don't go west to work hard, the criminals will go back immediately and bring their subordinates to ask for guilt." Zhang Hai finished shouting and left in a hurry:

Zheng Lang did not take it seriously, and continued to lead the army across Jishui, and came to the edge of Hanshui, Zhang Hai and his subordinates came down, a total of 3,463 people, the number of which was reduced by dozens of people. …,

Forced to this, the tough surrender, Zheng Lang pondered - down, and agreed. began to be reorganized, and this rebel army had some river and foreign thieves, some so-called military thieves in the imperial court, but most of them were disaster victims and displaced people. If the old, weak, sick and disabled are selected ,—— sent home, and these people are not likely to be harmed by being put in the local area. Once again, some innocent displaced people were selected and repatriated. He also sent Di Qing to lead seven battalions of soldiers and horses to the north, and cooperated with Han Qi to destroy Guo Miao's mountain troops. The remaining soldiers were stationed in the Hanshui River, escorting more than 1,300 righteous soldiers, waiting for the notice of the imperial court.

According to the law of the court, there is not one of these people who will not die.

Waiting is also - and suffering, Zheng Lang looked at these imprisoned rebels, Liu raised his face and asked, "Zheng Xianggong, do you mean what you say?" ”

Zheng Lang replied: "Then you bet on luck, if this official is a dog official, you are asking for hardship this time, if this official is not a dog official, or you are right this time:"

Zheng Lang was very worried about this little woman calling him a dog officer, but although he was joking, he was very worried in his heart......

This ending is more satisfying.

He was not very repulsed by these rebels in his heart, a few were extremely vicious, and most of them were forced to go to Liangshan. But things are far from being so simple, it doesn't matter if you do this in the past year or in the next year, but at this moment, God knows what some people in the court and the central government think.

At present, these people must be pacified, if these people come again in the process of detention - a mutinous god horse, it is not impossible, the possibility is extremely high, and the situation will not be able to be contained when the time comes. The tone softened—and said slowly: "Zhang Hai, Liu, and you people, even if you have suffered some grievances, it's not that the court is bad. The country is so big, Yao Shun is alive, and there is no guarantee that every official is a good official, why don't you complain in the capital? The people have been suffering in recent years, but can they sit back and watch the invasion of the Western Xia people? Who can stop the drought from happening? Is the imperial court trying to find a way to provide disaster relief? Why rebellion? However, you are lucky enough to surrender in time, and your majesty's benevolence is not what you can think. But I have to wait for the decree of the imperial court to be issued, this is the rule, there are no rules, can it be a circle? If they are like you, will not the country be in chaos? Is this a good thing? The Sui and Tang dynasties were replaced, and two-thirds of the people died, or fled to the Turks as slaves.

Is that what you want? Wait:"

He was also waiting, but it was precisely because of this waiting that his heart finally slipped to the other end......
