In November of the 10th year of Chongzhen, Liu Guoneng accepted the revenge. Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in Jiangbei and ran to Huguang. Under the banner of the official army, he planned to attack Nanyang. As a result, in the spring of the eleventh year, he encountered Zuo Liangyu in Nanyang. Zhang Xianzhong, who was keen on the rebellion cause, was severely injured again. During the chaos, he was shot in the shoulder by Zuo Liangyu and slashed with another knife. If Sun Kewang had not tried his best to save him, Comrade Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion cause would have been a talisman.

Zhang Xianzhong turned around and ran to Huguang. When he arrived in Macheng, he met Liu Guoneng, who had just received the recruitment. In the past, the two had a bad relationship and often had conflicts. Liu Guoneng surrendered with tens of thousands of people before he became a garrison. When he was thinking about making progress in the career of the official army, he was of course not polite at all. When he was rebelling, Liu Guoneng, who had been in trouble, sent someone to tell Zhang Xianzhong that the road was not open, so you can stay in another place. For the sake of past friendship, I won’t beat you.

Zhang Xianzhong ran to Gucheng, and it was temporarily settled. In the spring of the 10th year of Chongzhen, Yang Sichang's plan to ambush on the ten sides achieved great success. Li Zicheng was dying, Liu Guoneng surrendered, and Zhang Xianzhong was trapped in Gucheng. The other rebel teams were all small and were beaten out of shape. There was no trace of the rebellion of Chongzhen in the 9th year of Chongzhen.

At this time, Xiong Wencan was very smart in Anqing. There was Dengzhou camp here, and the thieves dared not come, so safety was guaranteed. As for Chen Xie's neglect of him, Xiong Wencan was very smart and did not mention it. After Liu Guoneng surrendered, Ma Shixiu and Du Yingquan also surrendered. At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was very miserable. In the words of the textbook, the "revolutionary cause" entered a trough.

Going to Jiangbei and Dengzhouying, I didn’t dare to go to the territory, so I couldn’t afford to offend it. I was unlucky when I went to Henan. Zuo Liangyu was waiting for him, but he didn’t have the possibility of making a fuss when he went to Sichuan. Liu Guoneng still refused. The Yangtze River was blocking the way south and had no way to go.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong received important news. Chen Hongfan, who had saved his life at the beginning, was now in charge of Xiong Wencan. Zhang Xianzhong sent Sun Kewang to bring gold, silver and jewelry to give Chen Hongfan gifts, asking him to say good things to him, and at the same time asked Chen Hongfan to give a generous gift on behalf of his Xiong Wencan. He expressed his willingness to accept the pleading and received the benefits. Xiong Wencan, who had originally planned to pleading, was of course overjoyed and said he could accept it. But there were different voices in the court. Who is Zhang Xianzhong? The guy who dug Zhu Youjian's ancestral grave, this hatred was irreconcilable.

Zhang Xianzhong had a guide, and had a subordinate named Xue, a native of Hancheng. He was a uncle and nephew who was not from the fifth sermon of the chief assistant Xue Guoguan. Zhang Xianzhong asked him to go to the capital, give gifts everywhere, and then there were more people talking to him. I won’t mention the past. Wasn’t Gao Yingxiang taking the lead? So Zhang Xianzhong also surrendered. At this time, Zhang Xianzhong had tens of thousands of people and three thousand elite troops. He stayed in Gucheng and became his county magistrate. His identity changed from a famous rebellion personnel to a cadre within the Ming Dynasty system, turning gorgeously.

What happened next was even more funny. Seeing Xiong Wencan, who had achieved great success in his career, was so proud that he couldn't listen to other opinions at all, and he was determined to recruit him. He didn't think about what the premise for these thieves were willing to recruit him. Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, these two thieves had no place to settle down. Dengzhou camp was in Jiangbei, and the thieves did not dare to cross the border at all.

Anyway, these external factors were all ignored by Xiong Wencan in the end. In his memorials, his correct idea of ​​raising the urge to achieve a perfection. Xiong Wencan continued to raise the banner of raising the urge to the point of perfection. What is Luo Rucai, what is 1 zhangqing, what is the little dragon king, what is the one dragon? You don’t surrender, right? I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, should I surrender, I am, right? It’s called: Seeking a thief!

Xiong Wencan did such a strange thing, which was really amazing. Unfortunately, Luo Rucai and the others didn't buy it. They continued to rebel after drinking and eating meat.

It can be said that Xiong Wencan, who was in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, kept jokes. Chen Xie, who returned to Jinan, was determined to farm. After hearing the news that Xiong Wencan "seeks for the thief", he submitted a memorial. "I heard that the governor Xiong Wencan used wine and meat to seek the thief surrender. This move has never happened in the past. I think that the reason why the thief Zhang, Li, Luo and other thieves were not because of their lack of livelihood, but because of their nature. Now the thief was in trouble and should have surrounded and suppressed them from all sides and destroyed them in one fell swoop. Xiong Wencan responded with the help of plagiarism, and may succeed for a while, and he will suffer in the future. Once there is something wrong in the world, they will rebel."

The memorial arrived in the capital, and it was May of the eleventh year. Zhu Youjian attached great importance to Chen Xie's opinions, called a group of ministers to open fire, and asked them with the memorial: "Everyone tell me, what is the opinion of Chen Sihua's memorial?"

Xue Guoguan, who had received the benefits, was the first to jump out and said, "It's just jealous." The implication was that Chen Xie was jealous of Xiong Wencan. That is, Chen Xie is a civil servant now, and he has to be trusted by Zhu Youjian, otherwise Xue Guoguan could even scold "Chen thief!"

Zhou Yanru, who had just returned to the cabinet, chose a calm tone and said: "Chen Sihua is always insightful, so he can make Xiong Xing separate the actions of Zhang and Liu tribes. However, Chen Sihua disrespects the superiors first, and then impeaches the latter with the memorials. We must avoid it." This means that Xiong Wencan is able to win over and divide Liu Guoneng and Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, and weaken these two surrendered thieves. Chen Xie, who is disrespectful to his superiors, needs to talk about him, so he can't do this. It's all like this, and this job cannot be done.

After these two spoke, Yang Sichang, the Minister of War, had to speak. Xiong Wencan was recommended by him. Chen Xie attacked Xiong Wencan. From a political perspective, this was for him. Yang Sichang's personality was so willing to miss this opportunity? He immediately continued Zhou Yanru's words and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Sihua has always been domineering, and he should scold him sternly, so that he will not discuss the court situation irrelevantly, so as not to disrupt the current good situation."

This is very skillful. First, he said that Chen Xie is domineering, and then he did not mention any severe punishment. He just asked Zhu Youjian to issue an order to scold him. As long as Zhu Youjian didn't trust Chen Xie, the next tricks could be used. Unfortunately, after hearing this, Zhu Youjian's trust in Chen Xie was unshakable. What a joke? After Chen Xie went to Shandong, he became a major profit-taxer in the court. He could even pay a fine of 500,000 taels for drought and disaster relief. Where can I find such a worry-free and capable governor?

Zhu Youjian thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, let's not talk about this matter for now. Let's talk about how to solve the thief." The matter was so incomplete. Yang Sichang felt very regretful, but Zhou Yanru had nothing to regret. He had never been a prime minister. He had made him remember a theorem in the past. Never deal with Chen Xie, you can't do anything to him.

Jining, a big city beside the canal. The wharf was busy. A fleet left Jining and traveled north for only five miles, so they had to stop. There were ships blocking the way in the river, and the red flag of Dengzhou Camp was hung on the ship. Everyone knew that this was the soldiers of the canal canal garrison to start an inspection.

Hu Xin came from Jiangnan and transported a ship of tea. The transaction was not big. It only cost four or five hundred taels in a year. It depends on luck. If you are not lucky, you may lose money. Hu Xin's ship was the first one. After being stopped, a soldier boarded the ship. An officer stood on the deck. When he came over, he saluted first, and then said, "What are you transporting? To be honest, otherwise you will find any prohibited items and seize them all."

Hu Xin quickly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Mr. Jun., all of them are tea. For several years, new tea, small business, small business, this is the account book, please check it out." According to Hu Xin's idea, wherever the soldiers read, they are here to blackmail. Give them two taels of silver to drink tea, and it is probably okay. I have seen too many such things before. Small business is easy to bully. Those who do big business, and those who serve in the army dare not get on the boat to check others.

The officer took the account book, flipped a few times, found the last page, looked at it and said, "Well, it's all tea. Your ship has to pay five taels of silver according to the new rules." What? Five taels of silver? Hu Xin's heart hurts so much that two silver dollars quickly slipped from his cuffs. When it fell into the officer's hands, Hu Xin smiled and said, "Mr., it's convenient for small books to operate. It's not easy."

The officer weighed it in his hand and looked at him and smiled, "You don't understand it, you will understand it in the future. Pay three more silver dollars, come and issue an invoice." After the officer said that, he left the side. A dozen soldiers were still checking to see if there were any contraband items. The so-called contraband items were private salt, pig iron and other things.

Hu Xin had no choice but to take out three more silver dollars and hand them to the officer, thinking about issuing a receipt, and he talked about it all over the place. Unexpectedly, the officer really took out a notebook and issued a document to show it. Hu Xin took it and saw that the line on it was "receipt", with a line of words written in the middle, "A boat of tea, five silver dollars are charged for dredging of the canal." The document was handed to Hu Xin, and the officer smiled and said, "I'll take it all the way to Tongzhou, and I guarantee that no one will ask you to collect money again, but this trip back is hard to say. It depends on whether you bring the goods."

Hu Xin's ship passed by, looked back at the next big ship, and suddenly became arguing with the officers and soldiers. A man in silk appeared on the ship, shouting: "This is the uncle's ship, how dare you stop it?"

Hu Xin immediately asked the boatman to slow down and watch the fun. Soon he was stunned. More than a dozen soldiers fired guns into the sky, and the banging sound was horrifying. Do you really dare to do it? On the deck of the big ship, the slaves crawled all over the ground. The soldiers got on the boat, smashed the butt stocks, and the muffled sound of the puff sound made the teeth sore.

The officer was still standing on the deck, holding a loudspeaker and shouting: "I have heard that all passing ships will be inspected from now on. Fees will be charged according to the size of the body. Those who resist and refuse will be killed on the spot."

"I think you dare?" Some people were not afraid of death and stood on the deck and jumped. As a result, two soldiers rushed up, smashed the stock, and directly smashed it to the ground. A group of slaves were kicked into the cold canal, shaking with the help of the boat. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
