Chapter 288 Special tasks
He asked Hong Niangzi to take his subordinates to Luoshan County as a whole to take office. Moreover, the court did not interfere. There was no such good thing. When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed.
"Don't worry, we are all from poor families, so we won't do anything that is harmful to the world."
"That is, if we do something against our conscience, let alone the Ming Dynasty law, Hong Niang will not let us go."
"I don't know anything else, I just listen to Hong Niang."
"Yes, just listen to Hong Niangzi."
The Hongniang had absolute authority in her team, which made Li Hao and others feel relieved. With Li Yan's support, the Hongniang seemed to have surrendered sincerely.
With Emperor Chongzhen's temper, he would rather be rude than bend. He would not easily agree to the next imperial edict to let Hong Niang go to Luoshan County to take office and become a county magistrate.
All this is thanks to Zhu Cilang. Chongzhen is not a foolish monarch, he just lacks an important counselor around him. Zhu Cilang clearly shows his interests, and Luoshan County is already rampant. Our court has completely lost local jurisdiction. Instead of falling into the hands of the bandits, it is better to use the bandits to control the bandits.
Let Hong Niangzi succeed to the county magistrate, at least legitimately be governed by the court. Secondly, Hong Niangzi can control the bandit groups around him. The court will not suffer any losses in such a thing, so why not do it?
In the future, if the court has the ability, it will not be too late to clean up these messes slowly. Moreover, it is said that Hong Niang is well-known in the local area. If she surrenders to the court as the county magistrate, it will be a heavy blow to the bandits.
Emperor Chongzhen felt that Zhu Cixuan's advice seemed to be so reasonable. So on the way Li Hao came, he drafted such an imperial edict.
The Hongniang bowed and said, "Don't worry, as long as my Hongniang is here, my subordinates will abide by the law. However, I have a few words for you to bring back to the capital, Mr. Qianhu."
Li Hao was stunned and hurriedly replied: "I don't know what instructions should the Hong County Magistrate has."
The Hongniang was not named or surnamed, and was adopted by the headmaster of the opera troupe since she was a child. Because she liked to wear red clothes on stage, her old friend called Hongniang. Even she didn't know what her surname was. Li Hao suddenly called him Hongniang County Magistrate. The Hongniang seemed stunned, but she felt that the name was a bit strange.
"Mr. Li goes to the capital with you. I have something to tell the prince. If the prince is really as wise and powerful as you say, I, Hong Madam, will follow him to the death. If he is also a foolish monarch and harms the people of the world, I, Hong Madam, will definitely bring up the team and rebel against the court again!"
Li Hao smiled slightly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince said that if Mrs. Hong is willing to go down the mountain to receive reunion, you will be free to come and go. If Mrs. Hong feels that the court is dark and this official is boring, you might as well go up the mountain to settle the grass, and the court will not be embarrassed."
This... the Hong Madam was a little moved: "I can't tell that the Crown Prince is a cheerful person. Just for this, I will be the magistrate of this county."
"However, Mrs. Hong, you have surrendered to the court after all. His Highness the Crown Prince has another sentence, and I want to tell Mrs. Hong."
The bandits below were somewhat dissatisfied, why did the prince behave like a woman? The queen was polite and bowed, "Please tell me."
"As a county magistrate, you are not subject to the control of the upper peak. But you must accept the orders of the governor of the seven provinces, General Sun Chuanting and General Sun. This is His Royal Highness, the only requirement for you to go down the mountain to recruit you."
Sun Chuanting, Hongniang, looked very familiar with this name. Li Yan knew Sun Chuanting's name, and he said: "I am not talented, so I will make the decision on this matter for Hongniang. We can accept General Sun's orders, so please rest assured."
Sun Chuanting was a nightmare for bandits. This man governed the seven provinces. The Qin army he founded was an invincible army.
In the end, Hong Niangzi led his troops to the mountain to surrender to the court and became the county magistrate of Luoshan County. Li Yan followed Li Hao and others to the capital because Zhu Cilang wanted to summon him.
The fact that Hong Niangzi surrendered to the court caused a violent sensation in Henan. Especially those scattered bandits, they were shocked to change their colors when they heard about it. Heroes like Hong Niangzi surrendered, and their lives would be difficult.
Bandits of all sizes are rising one after another in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and even Shandong and Jiangxi. In addition to the teams of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, there are many bandits of thousands or dozens of people. In the entire Henan land, bandits who cannot survive and rebel are even more like crucian carp crossing the river.
A team like Hong Niangzi has a huge influence. Her surrender is like a blow to the bandits who are wandering around to commit crimes.
Even Li Zicheng, who fled from Kaifeng City, was shocked when he heard the news that Hong Niang surrendered. He hurriedly summoned his subordinates Liu Zongmin, Wa Guanzi, Yidou Gu and others to discuss the next countermeasures.
At this time, Li Zicheng had not yet achieved any kind of climate. First of all, Li Yan, an important counselor around him, was brought to the capital by Li Hao. There was also a person who had a more important influence on Li Zicheng's life, Niu Jinxing. At this time, Niu Jinxing had not yet surrendered to him and had no right-hand man. At this time, Li Zicheng was still in the stage of despicable development.
The collapse of Hong Niangzi and surrendered Li Yan, others didn't think anything about it. But Zhu Cilang knew very well that this was a major event for the Ming Dynasty to turn the world around.
At this time, there was still a secret guard who had already left the capital quietly. They were carrying out a special mission.
Since the Hu Ben Army has been formed, we must make the best use of everything. What is the Hu Ben Army? The Hu Ben Army is the last killer weapon. The battle is imminent, and both sides fight to the death. When both sides at the end of their power are bandaging their wounds, the one who won the final victory is the Hu Ben Army.
On weekdays, the Hu Ben Army is like a pile of inconspicuous dry firewood, piled on the roadside hay. When needed, it can be a little bit and become a raging fire.
What is the Hu Ben Army? The Hu Ben Army is able to perform special tasks at critical moments. Go deep into the enemy's backbone and shoulder important political, economic, military goals and other special tasks. The Hu Ben Army requires strong individual combat capabilities and is suitable for completing combat tasks under various harsh conditions.
To put it bluntly, the Hu Ben Army was trained by Zhu Cilang, a modern special forces soldier.
This time, the general of the Hu Ben Army carried out his first mission since its establishment. Zhu Cilang selected the eight people with the most outstanding training capabilities in the Hu Ben Army, Zhan Yunpeng, Linghu Yunlong, Ling Tianyang, Ye Qing, Liu Hong, Xue Kun, Xiao Yelai, and Fengle. These eight people were the leaders in the Hu Ben Army.
Zhu Cixuan gave them the task of going to Lushi County to perform an assassination mission. This task must be successful only, not failed.
Li Yan, who was beside Li Zicheng, had been surrendered. Another important strategist around him must not allow him to exist in this world. Next, it depends on the ability of the Hu Ben Army.
