Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 546 The Teacher of Kindness and Righteousness
"Yes! This officer knows. I don't know what the general wants this officer to do? This officer will definitely do it!" The prefect didn't dare to look at Zhang Wuji, he just lowered his head and answered submissively.

"Oh! There are three things that you are asked to do. As long as Wang Taishou can do all of them, then you are considered meritorious. First, you write an official document to ask the defenders of Yangping Pass to surrender to the attacking Ming army. Yangping Pass The supply of food and grass depends entirely on Hanzhong City, so I think this matter should not be too difficult for you."

Wang Taishou cupped his hands and replied: "It's not too difficult, it's not too difficult."

It was certainly not difficult for him.Because Zhao Qi led his troops to attack Yangping Pass.In order to defend Hanzhong, the prefect transferred most of his troops to Yangping Pass to defend the city.Today's Yangping Pass has troops stationed there.

The food and salaries of these 3 horses are all supplied by Hanzhong City in the rear.And food is delivered every seven days.

Now that Hanzhong has fallen, even if the defenders don't surrender and there is no food and grass supply, they won't last seven days before they disperse like birds and beasts.

Seeing that his condition was better, Zhang Wuji immediately talked about the second thing: "The second thing is to help me check the treasury. Now this place is occupied by us. If there is no help from the prefect for the treasury's money, food and household registration If so, it will be troublesome."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! This is what it should be! It should be!" Wang Taishou saw that Zhang Wuji's attitude was always kind, so he was not so afraid, and his attitude even became flattering.

Zhang Wuji looked at him like a chameleon, and said with a smile: "As for the third thing, tomorrow you set up hundreds of cauldrons and cook some good food to reward my soldiers."

"Yes! I will obey your orders," Wang Taishou replied.

After Zhang Wuji gave his orders, he stood up from the prefect's chair.Then stretched.

He yawned and said, "Okay, there's nothing else to do. After the prefect has made arrangements, you can go back to sleep."

After saying that, Zhang Wuji walked past him, and went back to the inn to rest on his own.Only the prefect Wang, who hadn't reacted, was left standing there alone.

And a lot of things happened that night, but nothing seemed to happen.

something happened.It was Zhang Wuji who occupied Hanzhong City.Then he planted his Ming flag on the top of the city.

Did not happen.The lives of the local people have not been affected in the slightest.

Everyone is doing what they should do as usual, and what else to do.Moreover, the city guards under Zhang Wuji's command also opened the city gates for the common people on time, conducting interrogation just like the original city guards.

Even the common people don't know that there was a "battle to seize the city" last night, and the city has changed hands now.They all thought that the soldiers patrolling the streets were new arrivals.

But there are also differences. The only difference is that these soldiers pay for food and shopping.And it doesn't matter what the point is, some people leave in a hurry and give more money.

In this old era when soldiers passed like a grate and bandits passed like a comb, this can be regarded as an anecdote through the ages.Even most vendors dare not ask for the money given by these "military masters".

When Zhang Wuji went out in the morning, he saw with his own eyes that a corporal under his command, when he bought sesame seed cakes for money, not only did he not dare to ask for the sesame seed cakes, he even thought that the other party thought they were too few, so he even gave him a few more sesame seed cakes.When the corps chief forced the money, the peddler even knelt down and begged him not to give the money.

Seeing this interesting scene, Zhang Wuji was very pleased.This is the picture he wants to see.If everyone in the army under his command can abide by such discipline, then why worry about the world being uncertain?

The common people have to eat pots of pulp to welcome the king.

Zhang Wuji stood in front of the inn and watched this harmonious scene. At this moment, the deputy general led Wang Taishou to Zhang Wuji.

Both fell to their knees, and the lieutenant general said: "My Majesty, there is news from the front that Yangping Pass has been captured by our army. General Zhao is collecting the prisoners and will come later."

Zhang Wuji said happily: "Okay! Let General Zhao come to see me as soon as he enters the city."

At this time, Wang Taishou also said: "The offender kowtowed to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. According to His Majesty's will, the offender has sorted out all the household registration and account books of Rending's treasury. Please read it."

Speaking of this, Wang Taishou handed down the memorial he wrote to Zhang Wuji with both hands.

After Wang Taishou returned to his residence yesterday, he asked the soldiers guarding the Taishou's mansion. Only then did he know that the person who woke him up yesterday was "Ming Zun Zhang Wuji".

Nowadays Zhang Wuji's great name is known to everyone, everyone knows it.As a local official, Wang Taishou naturally knew about it.

Now he is sincerely serving Zhang Wuji, not under the pressure of life and death.

This is entirely because of Zhang Wuji's popularity among the Han people.Now many Han officials are planning to seek refuge with Zhang Wuji, but they only regret that there is no way out.

Most people with insight can still see what the world is like.Everyone knows in their hearts that the Mongols can't grow a rabbit's tail.

The Han landlords also began to prepare for themselves.After all, people like Zhang Liangbi who are ignorant of current affairs are still in the minority in this world.

Take Li Siqi as an example, even if there is no Yellow Shirt Girl as an intermediary to persuade him to surrender.As long as Zhang Wuji's soldiers press down on the border and win a few beautiful battles, he will immediately defect and surrender to Zhang Wuji.

After all, it was by "surrender" that the ancestors of the Li family preserved their wealth for generations.

At that time, the ancestors of the Li family surrendered to the Jin people, and then turned to surrender to the Mongols.Now that Zhang Wuji is powerful, they will also surrender to Zhang Wuji.

And there is another thing that surprised the prefect very much, that is, Zhang Wuji really did not touch his family and property.

Since the city was broken in ancient times, massacres and looting are very common.

Last night, what Wang Taishou was most worried about was whether his beautiful daughter was ruined by the rebels.

But when he went to visit his daughters, neither of his daughters knew what had happened.

And let alone his daughter, even the maids in his mansion, these soldiers didn't lift a finger.

The servants in the mansion are not restricted at all, but they are questioned and checked when they go in and out.

How can such a benevolent gentleman not be convinced?
Zhang Wuji took these account books from Wang Taishou, looked at them briefly, and then said: "Very well, since the prefect has done it, then I will not break my promise. Although I personally led the troops to enter this city Yes. But you deserve credit for dedicating the city.”

Zhang Wuji closed these account books, and then ordered: "Wang Ben listen to the seal!"

"Your Majesty is here!" Wang Ben immediately knelt down to Zhang Wuji in a salute gesture.

Zhang Wuji said: "I appointed you as the prefect of Hanzhong in the Ming Dynasty, and you will still be in charge of the military and political affairs of Hanzhong City."

Hearing Zhang Wuji's words, Wang Ben couldn't even believe his ears.The deputy general reminded from the side: "Congratulations, Mr. Wang, why don't you thank Mr. Wang quickly?"

At this time, Wang Ben came to his senses, and quickly kowtowed and said, "My minister thanked His Majesty Long En. Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
