Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Xu Mingde had no choice but to order someone to open the city gate and let the army enter the city to rest.

After the army entered the city and Zhang Zhiji gave orders to settle down, he followed Xu Mingde to the county government office.

When he arrived at the county government office, Zhang Zhiji took a seat carelessly, not caring that this was Xu Mingde's home court, and asked, "Tell me, what's the situation here now?"

Although Xu Mingde felt that Zhang Zhi was extremely rude, he had no choice but to cup his hands and said, "Returning to Lord Hou, the day before yesterday, those rebels who besieged the city retreated north."

Xu Mingde first explained that the crisis has been resolved, and then said: "It's just that there are a lot of young and strong people who died in the battle this time. If the thieves come again, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Lord Hou. This time I'm a rebel Besieging the city, the officials don't have the confidence to hold on, but they are even ready to die to repay the king's kindness."

But Zhang Zhiji glanced at Xu Mingde and said: "You don't have to play tricks with Benhou, and Benhou didn't come to protect you in Xiaotong County.

To put it bluntly, for those who died in this battle and those who suffered disasters, you can report it to the court, and His Majesty will definitely give you an explanation.

As for Ben Hou, he will take a rest in the city tonight, and will continue marching northward tomorrow morning.

Of course, you can rest assured that those rebels will never come back.But, you still have one thing to pay attention to. "

Xu Mingde clasped his hands and said, "Master Hou, please make it clear."

Zhang Zhiji sat up straight, and said solemnly: "With the beacon smoke, it is the common people who suffer the disaster. This time I am marching northward, it is inevitable that the common people who escaped from the disaster will come to your filial piety.

At that time, you have to pay attention to screening, and don't let those traitors who have killed people mix in.However, let alone a common people starve to death.Otherwise, you'd better think about how to explain to His Majesty. "

Xu Mingde also said sternly: "Master Hou, don't worry, the next official will naturally save it."

Then Zhang Zhiji hummed and said: "Since that's the case, Benhou will go back to the camp."

Xu Mingde said: "Do you need to order someone to prepare some food and grain?"

Zhang Zhiji stared, and said: "What are you preparing for? The army is going out, so it is natural to be prepared. It is useless not to need you to come. You just need to ensure that this filial boy does not starve to death, and it will be a great achievement."

After Zhang Zhiji left, Xu Mingde smiled wryly and slumped on the chair.

I don't know whether my decision this time is right or wrong.Judging from the performance of the young master, it is very reliable.It's just that these Qiubas can really change their temperament?Xu Mingde couldn't believe it.

It's just that Xu Mingde can't decide whether to believe it or not.In the middle of the night, Xu Mingde took a few yamen servants to the street to patrol.

Generally speaking, even if these big soldiers make trouble, they will do so at night, but it is better during the day.

It was just that when Xu Mingde approached the street where the army was, he was stopped by the sergeant patrolling at night. After checking his suitability, the patrolling sergeant said: "The front is the resting place of the army. It is inconvenient for you to go there. Please go back." stop."

Xu Mingde was at a loss for words for a moment, he said to his mother, but how did he know what kind of virtue these people are?

At this time, Zhang Zhiji also came to watch the night, so he ordered: "Let him go, let him go and watch with me."

Xu Mingde was punctured by Zhang Zhiji's words, but he didn't take it seriously. He just bowed his hands to Zhang Zhiji in embarrassment, and followed behind Zhang Zhiji, heading towards the resting place of the army.

Zhang Zhiji yawned, and said to Xu Mingde: "You county magistrate is really interesting, you are not courageous.

But don't worry, the most important thing for His Majesty is military discipline, no one will dare to disturb the people. "

Along the way, Xu Mingde saw that many soldiers were just sleeping on the ground, but none of them were sleeping next to the common people's houses, but he couldn't help but feel apologetic in his heart, thinking that he really misunderstood these things.

It's just that the world is unsatisfactory. After all, Zhang Zhiji and Xu Mingde were walking forward, but suddenly someone shouted in front of them: "Stop him! Don't let him go!"

Chapter 241 Student Li Xin (4-character chapter)

Zhang Zhiji's face began to turn black.

Just now, nothing happened during the journey, and now it seems that it is coming to an end, but there is such a good show in the end. Isn't this slapping yourself in the face?

Hearing the faint sound of fighting coming from ahead, Zhang Zhiji touched the knife on his waist, grinning grinningly, and walked forward.

It's just that the scene in front of them made Zhang Zhiji and Xu Mingde who followed him feel a little confused.

The originally imagined scene of soldiers disturbing the people did not happen. Instead, a man dressed as a scholar held a long sword and fought with two soldiers. A few soldiers were watching the fun and did not come forward to help.

What Zhang Zhiji watched was secretly amazed.A scholar in his twenties can survive the siege of two veterans of the Beijing battalion without chaos. Even if he is unable to attack, he can defend without chaos.

The scholar holding the sword saw that Zhang Zhiji and Xu Mingde were both wearing official robes, so he forced the two soldiers back with a sword, and shouted: "Wait a minute, the student has something to say!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiji waved his hand and said, "Stop!"

After the two soldiers retreated and merged with several other soldiers, still vaguely surrounding the scholar, Zhang Zhiji asked: "If you have anything to say, go ahead."

The scholar cupped his hands and said: "Student Li Xin is the Juren of the Seventh Year of the Apocalypse, a native of Hanoi. He came here specially to find the army, and he has important military information."

When Xu Mingde heard that the scholar named Li Xin was a juren, he immediately liked it—after all, juren is considered an official reserve, and everyone is on his own.

Only Zhang Zhiji sneered and said, "What are you doing here, a Juren from Hanoi? Don't you know there is a war here?"

Li Xin had no choice but to cup his hands and said, "I don't know who this lord is?"

Xu Mingde quickly said: "This is Zhang Zhiji Zhang Houye, Pingbei Marquis of the Great Ming Dynasty, and my official is Xu Mingde, the magistrate of Xiaotong County."

Hearing Xu Mingde's introduction, Li Xin bowed to the ground again, cupped his hands and said, "The student has met Lord Hou and the magistrate. I hope that Lord Hou and the magistrate will not blame you for being rude."

Seeing that Li Xin was well-mannered, Xu Mingde felt even more fond of him, and he wanted to excuse him, so he asked: "Those who don't know are not guilty. You don't know this official before, how could you be rude?"

But Zhang Zhiji stared at him, and asked, "You haven't answered my question yet, what are you doing here, a Juren from Hanoi?"

Li Xin cupped his hands and said: "It's good to teach the Lord Hou to know that the students came to Shaanxi to visit friends, and to see the disaster situation in Shaanxi. It's just that they encountered military disasters without thinking about it.

The student's friend's home is in Baishui, and now it has fallen into the hands of thieves. The student escaped by relying on his horse's speed, but he has something to report to the army. "

Zhang Zhiji was most annoyed by the chattering of these scholars, seeing that the scholar named Li Xin hadn't gotten to the point after talking for a long time, he said impatiently: "Coincidentally, this Marquis is going to lead an army Countering the rebellion, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Li Xin looked around at the soldiers surrounding him, but he didn't speak.

Zhang Zhiji snorted coldly, and said with a smile: "These are all brothers who followed the Marquis and His Majesty on the northern expedition to the grassland. If you have anything to say, you can just say it."

Then Li Xin cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Baishui rebel Wang Er wants to call for peace, but his brother Wang Mingyu is not a good match. Now Wang Er is going north to meet the rebel Gao Yingxiang, I'm afraid Wang Er Not long to live."

Zhang Zhiji said with a sneer, "They are all dying soon. When the army of the Marquis arrives, will they still go north? Let's bury them in Baishui."

Seeing that Zhang Zhiji didn't take what he said seriously, Li Xin said anxiously: "Master Hou, this Wang Mingyu is really not easy to get along with. Now that the rebels have captured Pucheng, relying on the food and gold in Pucheng Yin, now I am preparing to go north to Chengcheng, I am afraid that there will be more and more rebels, can Hou Ye kill them all?"

At this moment, Zhang Zhiji had no choice but to look directly at the scholar named Li Xin.

Zhang Zhiji knew about the news Li Xin said.After all, there are Jin Yiwei in the army passing information back and forth, even if there are many situations that Li Xin did not mention, Zhang Zhiji knows it well.

But how does this mere scholar know all this information?Moreover, the situation he analyzed was similar to his own, which was quite rare.

Seeing that Zhang Zhiji's expression became a little dignified, Xu Mingde quickly smoothed things over and said: "Master Hou, this is not a place to talk, why don't we go to the county government to have a chat?"

Zhang Zhiji hummed, and ordered: "Check this kid's qualifications, and if there is no problem, send him to the county government."
