Chapter 1622 Xiao Qiang

"Since there is this relationship, it's okay to meet him." Zhao Lide was curious after all. Li Hongji was indeed different from Wang Er and others, but Zhang Han attached so much importance to him, so it should be a deeper reason. So, it's better to meet him and have a face-to-face conversation...

A military intelligence officer arranged it, and Zhao Lide rested at the Military Intelligence Department Information Center in Yulin City, while taking a look at recent information.

Sure enough, everything in Yulin was as usual. There was nothing unusually prominent from the generals. Only half a year ago, some generals and their subordinates were selected as the candidates, enriching them in the army in Datong, Yanghe and even Zhangjiakou. Those who were selected were mostly glad because everyone had no salary to be kept in Yulin and lived a hard life. Those who were selected to Xuanda could receive monthly salary at least and could save ten or eight taels of silver in a year. For these ordinary border soldiers, it was a blessing from the sky.

In the evening, news came that Mr. Wu invited Li Hongji to drink at home, and the reason was easy to find. Li Hongji traveled to and from the prefectures and counties, and handed letters and things to Mr. Wu in his hometown many times. After a long time of love, it was natural to find a reason to drink two drinks.

Li Hongji was invited and happily agreed, and had already agreed to arrive at the Wu family before dark.

With this news, Zhao Lide changed into a robe this time and pretended to be a small businessman who traded back and forth between Yulin and Shahukou, and only made some simple decorations.

The Wu general's family lived in a small alley north of the General Army's Office. The general was called a seventh-rank official, but the Wu general had no military position in the garrison, not a military family, but was elected by everyone and appointed by generals. There was no official position at all, so the foundation was shallow and the income was quite low. It was natural to live in such a humble alley.

Sewage flowed at the entrance of the alley, a group of newly-exposed flies flew around, and a branch of a crooked willow tree had green buds drawn out... Zhao Lide moved forward, with two companions following him. He was an excuse to be helped by President Wu at the border, so he came to thank him. Taking this opportunity to take the opportunity to observe Li Hongji up close and see if Mr. Zhang's attention is really worth it.

The Wu family is just a small courtyard, with three main rooms and two sides, and one gatehouse. The house is very narrow. However, it is already a good house in Yulin City. Many poor people have two or three thatched houses, without a courtyard, and live in groups. Hundreds of households share a well, which is quite dangerous when encountering fires.

And it is spring, and there is a strong wind blowing a lot of wind and sand every day. Light yellow sand and dust are everywhere on the roofs, walls and trees in the city.

Zhao Lide lived in Kuandian for a long time, and his eyes were full of green mountains and clear waters. He felt a little uncomfortable in such an environment. He couldn't help but think that if such a place was not strategically filled with soldiers, these people from the army would have settled over time, and there would probably not be many people who would want to live here.

Li Hongji arrived before Zhao Lide. There was a horse-tie stone outside the Wu family. The martial artists must have been married to each other, so it is not surprising that they came on horseback.

Li Hongji stood tall and was generous in his actions, but after he tied up his horse, he looked a little limping. Wu Barbag had already greeted him, and as soon as he saw him, he said, "What's wrong with Brother Hongji? I saw that you were doing as usual at noon, but I became like this at night?"

"This time the year is not good." Li Hongji laughed and said, "I fell down halfway, but it fell a lot."

"Have you ever seen a doctor?"

"I saw it at Hutchison Hospital. It was said that it was a bone crack. Don't tie a cast to fix it, but be careful."

"It's true that you're doing as usual."

"There are many old friends in the lower city." Li Hongji smiled and said, "I'm just a small injury, so why bother me. When the traces are revealed, everyone has to worry more for me. Why bother me? So if you endure it, there will be no major problems."

Zhao Lide heard this and turned around and left.

A military officer asked, "Why, don't you watch it?"

"There is no need to see it. I already understand this person." Zhao Lide smiled slightly, and his heart was completely clear.

It is not too scary to have a person who is popular, and is generous, and is highly respected by others. It is not too scary to have the ability to take a harp. What is scary is that his personality is extremely tough, he is free from trouble, and can endure pain and torture.

Once such a person has made up his mind, he will never be able to turn things around and will never regret it even if he dies.

This is a very terrifying person, a hidden dragon. No wonder Zhang Han sent an intelligence team to stare at him... It was indeed a completely worthwhile act.

As for killing Li Hongji first, Zhao Lide also felt that it was unnecessary. No matter what, Qianlong was just Qianlong after all, and he could not get the general trend before encountering storms, so he could only be a mere postman.

When the world changes in the future, will Li Hongji have the opportunity to take advantage of the times, or die suddenly, or even have other ways to deal with it. This is all a matter between Zhang Han's thoughts. When any thought turns around, Li Hongji is powerless to resist and can only passively accept it.

Therefore, Zhang Han's momentum has been achieved. He only paid attention to the dragon in the wild like Li Hongji, and did not have much warning or restrictions. Otherwise, with the current power of peacekeeping, to deal with ordinary postmen like Li Hongji, it would be just a force of raising hands and turning their hands.

"Go back to Xinpingbao tomorrow morning and report to the Lord." Zhao Lide ordered, asking people to prepare the horses, and he wanted to rush back to Xinpingbao to report. Now there is peace everywhere, and the storm is still in Xinpingbao. The court will never give up on Zhang Han's life easily, but the opportunity is hard to say. In fact, Zhang Han's hope of raising a fortune now is now, and there is no need to stay in the fort, but Zhang Han hesitated, and Zhao Lide suspected that there were other disadvantages... However, Zhang Han's plan was relatively open to military and political plans, and would explain the reason. In terms of military information, he has always ordered everyone to follow suit, and he must not doubt or delay, and he has no choice but to object.

After reviewing the matter, I found that Zhang Han’s arrangements were all exquisite, even so wonderful. Sometimes I felt that Zhang Han was watching the development of the situation and completely calculated the enemy’s next steps. Even if the general trend of the world evolved, Zhang Han could know in advance...

In this regard, Zhao Lide completely awe-inspiring from his heart. Zhao Lide thought to Yang Qiu or other colleagues, and his mind and wiseness were not inferior to others. He could only think about Zhang Han, the spy leader. It was not that Zhang Han was in a high position, or even an emperor, and he did not have so much mystery after he had been in contact with him for a long time. The so-called destiny was just to deceive fools in the countryside. A smart man in a high position would never care about the destiny of heaven. What Zhao Lide really feared was Zhang Han's omnipotent and omniscient knowledge, as if all conspiracies and tricks were like snow that met the sun, and they would disappear in an instant and be powerless.

Zhang Han insisted on being in Xinpingbao, and there must be his reason, but Zhao Lide couldn't think of it even if he wanted to break his head. He only felt vaguely that if the general trend of the world continued like this, unless the court broke up, he would remain calm for a long time...

For Hutchison, long-term peace is not a bad thing, but if it continues to be stable and never finds the opportunity to break the deadlock, it is not a good thing.

Zhao Lide did not think about it for too long. For him, this kind of real strategic matter was just a brief thought. When he was in Kuandian, he often discussed with Wen Zhongfa and Bald, and no one could tell. For Wen Zhongfa and others, thinking about this kind of problem often turned into a practical level, such as when to allow Kuandian to send troops... For them, their trust and dependence on Zhang Han was deeply rooted in their bones. No matter what, they just need to act according to Zhang Han's instructions. There is no need to worry about other things at all, as the superiors have their own arrangements.

...

On the way back to Xinpingbao from Yulin, news of Wang Er and others' actions had already spread.

Wang Er and others gathered a thousand people, and Wang Er personally encouraged him. He was always popular and said to everyone with a brave attitude: "Now it is death, and it is also death. It is better to rise up and rebel, and you can still try it!"

At that time, northern Shaanxi was in the spring famine, with hungry people everywhere, and the people were covered with bones, and the people were completely killed. The two kings raised the banner of righteousness, and there were many people. The rebels carried swords and ink, and the city was covered with ink. From Baishui County to Cheng County, the city was covered with waste and had no troops to garrison. In a hurry, the county magistrate Zhang Douyao ordered the yamen to lead the gang to garrison on the top of the city. Such people were the most hated. In the year of famine, the government forced the government to pay harsh taxes and peeled the people's skin and bones, and the people were the ones who acted.

When they saw the yamen, the crowd became even more angry. Wang Er took the opportunity to shout: "Who dares to enter the city to kill the county magistrate?"

Everyone said "I dare". Since then, more than a thousand people climbed the city from all over the city. The defenders fled in a flash and did not dare to resist at all. The rebels rushed into the city and captured the magistrate. They immediately cut off their heads and made their heads public.

There were more followers at this time. Wang Er opened the warehouse and released grain, and many hungry people joined the team. Wang Er led his troops to the bank of Baishui River to attack the rich villages, collecting grain and building weapons everywhere. Thousands of people gathered in a while, and the momentum was huge, far from comparable to ordinary civilians.

The news spread to Yulin and other towns behind Zhao Lide. The rebellion of the people was the top priority. Immediately, a Tangma reported to the capital, the Sanbian Governor and the Xuanda Governor's Office. Since the county town was destroyed, such matters could not be concealed at all. If Wang Er and others did not destroy the county town, the Sanbian Governor could also digest it internally and try to conquer or recruit the rebellious peasants, and destroy the county town and kill the magistrate. The matter would be impossible to cover up. They could only pass on the horse to the cavalry and report to the capital.

At the same time, the three sides began to mobilize. The day after Zhao Lide left Yulin Town, he saw several cavalry gathering in the south of Yulin.

The leaders are mostly Dushi or garrisons, and the marchings are mostly horse soldiers. In a hurry, it is impossible to mobilize infantry. Only the generals lead the horse army first and then slowly mobilize infantry. With the number of Wang Er and others, the officers and soldiers must mobilize at least several thousand people. A guerrilla general should lead about two thousand horse infantry to try to fight the Baishui River.

All of this had nothing to do with Zhao Lide. He lit the fire. Sure enough, northern Shaanxi was a big pile of firewood, and the fire started to burn easily.

According to the arrangement, there are still dozens of points that can be ignited one after another, but it depends on the time, the movements of the Ming army, and the movements of the court... If the court insists on doing its own thing, it can ignite the fire one after another. Once the raging fire is burning, the three sides and Xuanda will be in a state of great trouble...

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty is not afraid of it. After decades of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the north has fallen into collective hardship. Unlike Jiangnan, lakes, Fujian and Zhejiang after the opening of the sea, the south is rich and the north is poor, and the court's finances are in trouble. There are only a few places such as Shaanxi and northern China, but they do not charge Liao pay, but they are powerless to do anything about natural disasters and ignore the poverty of the people. There is no relief, and even taxes are levied as usual. The same taxes can be paid easily in the south of the Yangtze River, but in the north, it makes the people lose their money. People say that the Ming Dynasty is less taxed, according to the central government's fiscal revenue
