Chongzhen Chat Group

"Father, the monk just contacted the child and said that as long as the foster father can accept the recruitment and assist the court in exterminating the bandits, he can become a guerrilla under the governor of Yansui."

Zhang Xianzhong was shocked again when he heard this. You must know that before the rebellion, he served as a border soldier and later became a policeman. With this move, can he become a guerrilla? Or is it Governor Yansui... Wait, why is it that he is under Governor Yansui? That is King Hong Yan!

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Dingguo spoke again: "Father, he also said that if other peasant army leaders can accept the recruitment, they will become guerrillas like his foster father and become regular border troops of the imperial court. Their main combat goal is to deal with Mongolia. Tartars!”

For people in northern Shaanxi, fighting with the Mongolian Tatars is a common occurrence. In the past, Mongolians would go south to clear grass valleys almost every year, but in the past two years, there has been no trace of Mongolians. Of course, there were also Ming troops who took the initiative to attack the grasslands and do things like clearing grass and valleys, but generally such things would not be reported and would not be made public.

If it were to deal with the Mongolian Tatars, it would make sense to become a guerrilla under the command of Governor Yansui. Zhang Xianzhong thought this, but he still had no idea. First, was this ghost-possession thing true? Second, is the court’s determination to recruit peace true? I got a guerrilla all of a sudden. How could such a good thing happen?

It was really hard for him to make up his mind with such empty talk, so he said to Zhang Dingguo: "If you ask him, you can't make your father believe him with just one sentence. Is there any evidence that can be used as evidence?"

As soon as Zhang Dingguo heard this, he entered the chat group again, and privately chatted with the group leader using the achievement points that the group leader had just rewarded him with: "My adoptive father said that you are baseless. How can I make my adoptive father believe what you say?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he had expected to say this. Therefore, he had already thought about it and immediately replied: "Let me tell you my foster father, he has no choice. Either he will be exterminated, or he will accept the court's recruitment and help the court to exterminate the traitors." Thief, please bring peace to this place. Also, tell your adoptive father that this guerrilla movement is only temporary. You will have to achieve success against the Mongolian Tatars within a year and a half before it can become a formal guerrilla."

At this point, he paused and asked Zhang Dingguo more time to remember, and then added: "As for the voucher, I can ask the acting county magistrate or the former doctor Sun Chuanting to write the voucher and send it outside the city."

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he added an explanation: "After the Ming Dynasty has solved the areas where bandits are causing trouble, it will soon use troops against Mongolia to find a way to solve the famine for the victims in Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places. The way is to occupy the Hetao Plain. At present, the Mongolian Tatars on the grassland are fighting and killing each other. This is our opportunity for the Ming Dynasty. You ask your adoptive father, who poisoned the place and became a thief who shamed his ancestors and was eventually eliminated by the court. Or should I create a living space for my fellow villagers, open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, and become a dignified man like the hussar general of the Han Dynasty who can honor our ancestors?"

He was not afraid of bandits spreading the word. Just as the Mongols coveted the prosperity of the pass, it was not impossible for the Ming Dynasty to want the Hetao. It was even occupied and controlled before, but when the military strength declined, it was returned to the pass.

Once this matter is mentioned, there will be a proper way to solve the problem of the victims. Especially people in northern Shaanxi know that the Yellow River flows through the Hetao, and the land there is the most fertile. Those Mongolians only know how to graze all day long, and they waste such a good place in vain!

If these tens of thousands of elite bandits can be used by the Ming Dynasty and become a force to deal with the Mongols, this will also greatly enhance the military strength of northern Shaanxi. Of course, most of these elite bandits were actually from the frontier army, and they could be considered as making up for the losses of the frontier army.

To make them believe it, of course, you have to come up with something practical. Just like the reply just now is just empty talk, not many people can believe it.

When Zhang Dingguo heard this, he was a little excited. He quickly agreed, quit the chat group and told Zhang Xianzhong what Pudu had just said, and then said a little fast: "Father, the child feels real!"

After hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong did not speak immediately. He frowned again and fell into thinking.

After Zhang Dingguo waited for a while, he suddenly spoke again: "Father, he just said that there is not much time left for his adoptive father. After he agreed, Governor Yansui and the Baigan Army arrived. By then they were just more With a little effort, even if there is no internal response, we can still be wiped out..."

Hearing him speak, Zhang Xianzhong looked up at him again, faintly feeling the threat in these words.

"He also said that he knew that we all rebelled because we couldn't survive, so he gave us this opportunity. How we choose the future path depends on this time. If we miss this recruitment, we will not be able to wait until the army arrives. He will be given a guerrilla position, and even if he is not killed by the army, he will still be a prisoner if he is alive. At most, he will be a lost dog and run away in the world."

When Zhang Dingguo said this, he saw a trace of anger on Zhang Xianzhong's face and couldn't help but quickly added: "Father, these words were said by the monk."

After Zhang Xianzhong listened, he fell silent again. But it is true that it is a bit difficult for him to make a choice in such a situation.

After a while, he slowly raised his head, looked at Zhang Dingguo and said: "Please ask me clearly about the identity of this monk. Who is he? Those who can say these things are definitely not ordinary people. Don't hide them. It's nothing to be sneaky. Since you are sincerely recruiting people, you can at least show your temple name. If you dare to deceive us, if you don't die, you must go to the capital to seek justice!"

Zhang Dingguo couldn't help but feel a little happy when he heard the meaning of his adoptive father's words. To be honest, he didn't want to live a life of running for his life every day, and he didn't want to become a thief that everyone reviled and harmed other people. He also wanted to honor his ancestors. Now, with this sign, he immediately became more active, quickly entered the chat group, and privately chatted with Pudu all living beings: "Group leader, my adoptive father said that you are the one who makes the decision on these recruitment matters, so who are you? Who are you, and which temple are you in? You must make it clear. If you dare to lie to us, as long as we don’t die, we will go to the capital to settle the account with you!"

After he finished speaking, he was a little concerned about gain and loss. He was afraid that the result of what he heard would be bad, so he quickly added: "You said that we did this because we couldn't survive. If you really want to recruit us, you should answer it well. Please don’t lie to my adoptive father, we are not fools!”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he could understand Zhang Xianzhong's request. From another perspective, he also felt that Zhang Xianzhong seemed to be a real talent. He was not the kind of person who just believed something he said, or who got angry when he thought it was untrue. He could pay more attention to it in the future.

Tell them your identity. As long as it doesn't affect other people in the group who know your identity and don't dare to chat unscrupulously, then it's okay. In other words, it doesn’t matter if you tell him your identity!

There are ten chapters in total that have been modified, but they do not affect the plot, so you don’t need to look back. However, for example, changing the military system is a bit of a hindrance, so I will add another chapter to make it up to you.
