Chapter 90: Parade through the streets
The county order heard what Zhang Xian said, if you are not happy, it is a fool, Zhang Xianming clearly gave himself the bulk of this credit, and suppressed 4,000 bandits, which was placed in the hands of officials anywhere in the Great Song Dynasty, it was a great achievement and merit, to say that the official position was promoted to three levels in a row, it was bragging, but at the end of the imperial court evaluation, his own county order casually went up to another level, it was basically an ironclad thing, you know, this move a level of official position, the silver to be spent is really a sea, And it doesn't take the same amount of money to succeed.
The county commander was happy, but he felt a burst of fear and fear in his heart, how did this young man in front of him kill hundreds of enemies and surrender thousands of enemies with a flick of his fingers, and he didn't have any casualties? Even if it is a few thousand pigs, you have to catch them one by one, how can you catch them in three or two days? What's more, this is still a living bandit, a bandit who wants to kill! The county order officialdom has been rolling for several years, and the ghost believes that Zhang Xian said that there are many injured people, and all of them have broken their feet? The county order can't remember how many years in the history of the Great Song Dynasty there has never been such a good fighter. The county order is a little unclear, is the young man in front of him a human or a ghost? Could it really be as the former county captain Daniel Zhang said, this person is really possessed by an unjust soul, where does this ordinary person have such magical powers? Fortunately, he called back the subordinates sent to arrest Zhang Xian's family, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable, thinking about it, a layer of sweat actually soaked on the forehead of the county commander!
As for the two hundred war horses that Zhang Xian wanted, to be honest, it also made the county commander very distressed, this imperial court campaign, the power of the whole country has gathered at the border pass, and the same is true of Yangzhou, the original thousands of horses and horses were requisitioned and sent to the border pass, so it is better to say that only these two hundred war horses that are up to the standard are left. But the county order is not a fool, the abacus is casually fiddled, and he also knows that this is a very cost-effective deal, the war horse belongs to the imperial court, and the credit is his own, so the county order said with a smile:
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet! Today, the county lieutenant Zhang Xian Zhang, under the planning of the official, annihilated the stubborn bandits in one fell swoop, and won the victory, considering that Zhang will continue to suppress the bandits in the future, it is really inconvenient to have no horses, the official is in charge, and all the two hundred horses in Yangzhou City will be handed over to the county lieutenant Zhang for the purpose of suppressing bandits! Even the official handed over the war horse to Lord Zhang and used an ordinary pony to travel. In addition, in order to encourage the people's hearts and deter the bandits, I also asked Mr. Zhang to personally escort the recalcitrant bandits to parade the streets of Yangzhou City to show the public, Wang Dutou, you go and arrange for someone to sound the gong to open the way! Let the common people come out and see! ”
After Zhang Xian heard this, he had to say that this county order was really shameless, and he took away the credit unceremoniously without blushing and heartbeat, but he finally got the two hundred war horses in his hands, and he also let himself take the bandits to parade through the streets, which can be regarded as increasing his fame and popularity, or not, he doesn't want to be famous anyway, and the real benefits are more important than anything else.
"Dangdangdang", a few gongs sounded, and several officials shouted loudly to the dense people in Yangzhou City while banging on the gongs to open the way:
"The county lieutenant Lord Zhang has returned victoriously from suppressing the bandits, and the bandits will be captured!"
"The county lord is strategizing, the county lieutenant is heroic in suppressing bandits, and the reason is clear and negligent, this is the end of being a bandit!"
The common people are naturally enthusiastic, how many years, only heard that the bandits in Yangzhou City are more and more bandits, only to see the evil deeds of killing good and risking merit, only to feel the suffering of the bandits, today finally for the first time to see more than 3,000 living bandits, one by one drooping their heads, all strung together by hemp rope parade in the street.
Of course, the focus of the onlookers was naturally the young and promising Zhang Xian Zhang County Lieutenant, who became famous in the first battle, and the crowd began to discuss:
"Look at it, this county lieutenant Zhang is the hope of my Great Song Dynasty, and it is rare in ancient and modern times to capture so many bandits!"
"Who said it wasn't, didn't you suspect that Master Zhang was a bandit before? I've always believed in Mr. Zhang! If Lord Zhang continues to suppress bandits, this Yangzhou City will be peaceful in the future! ”
"I said Luo Monkey, you don't open which pot you don't mention, right? Everyone said that before, saying that they could know that Master Zhang was using a trick? Then again, if you can fool us, you can fool those bandits! This is why Master Zhang's use of soldiers is unfathomable! ”
"Don't make any noise, I think this county lieutenant is a talent, I don't know if there is a marriage match, my sister is twenty-eight years old, and she looks as beautiful as ......a flower," said a man with a big face and a thick neck.
"Just stop it, you see that Master Zhang is young and promising, if Pan An looks like Pan An, the future is limitless, how can there be no marriage match? Besides, even if Master Zhang doesn't have a marriage match, it won't be your turn to be in your family! ”
"Do you know that Lord Zhang Xian suppressed the bandits, and did not call the county government to recruit a single soldier, all of them used their own family! Isn't this grown-up family even faster than that servant? A woman in silk said.
"Is it true? Master Zhang's family is so powerful? So what is the origin of this adult? A short-haired woman asked.
"This Lord Zhang is already powerful, it is said that a few years ago he won the tribute, this scholar passed the exam, and after winning the tribute, he obtained the qualification to be an official, and he did not have to go through the official examination. In addition, after the provincial examination, a "palace examination" presided over by the emperor himself was added, and then it became customized, that is to say, as long as Mr. Zhang continues to study, he can have the opportunity to participate in the palace examination. And, ah, the most important thing is, do you know who is Lord Zhang's mentor? . A man who looked like a scholar in a Confucian shirt said.
"I said Wang Xiucai, what else are you selling, hurry up and listen to it, I said that I will give you the tofu money you owe!" A tofu seller said.
"It's so good, this Master Zhang's mentor is amazing! That is Wanli Tongzhi Privy Council, and also the governor of the political affairs Jiang Wanli Jiang's son Jiang Xuan, this Jiang Xuan is also a member of my Song Dynasty a famous general, served as the official of the Ministry of Affairs, with the right court to invite Lang Jin Bing right Lang, sent Lingnan Deqing Mansion to know the military state affairs. The Jiang family is a genius, loyal and patriotic, his father Jiang Wanli is good at teaching literature, and his son Jiang Xuan is good at martial arts. Sour Xiucai said excitedly.
"I see, this young Lord Zhang is so powerful, it's no wonder! This time, you are cheap, you are sour and talented, and those few pieces of tofu will be considered if we invite you to eat! The man who bought the tofu said simply.
"Oh, isn't it my son Li Hu who escorted the bandits? Li Hu, Li Hu, my mother is here, my son has followed Master Zhang, it is really good, he has grown taller, he is also dark and strong, but you also have to pay attention to safety! A kind old lady grabbed the hand of a family member and said excitedly.
"Mother, the child is now on the task, and when the child pays the task, he will go home to see his mother, the child follows Lord Zhang, he has made meritorious contributions in the past half a year, plus the reward of Lord Zhang, the child has saved twenty taels of silver, and when the time comes, all of them will be handed over to the mother, so that the mother will also have a good life for a few days, not to mention it now, the child must keep up with the team, and the task cannot be wrong." A handsome and sturdy man said.
"Hey, hey, I'll go, follow Master Zhang and do a good job!" The old lady waved her hand as she spoke, her eyes full of tears.
"Yo, this eldest sister, your child has saved twenty taels of silver for half a year with Master Zhang, which is more than we have planted for two years, and my son who is not angry also grows up to be five big and three thick, eldest sister, can you help introduce it, let me add the boy to Master Zhang's house to be a housekeeper!" Another woman said, looking at the old lady with a blank look.
"This can't be helped, this old body can do so much to Lord Zhang's master? You don't know, this adult recruits a family, the rules are very special, don't know the roots, don't do what physical fitness assessment is not up to standard, don't be cheating, don't be greedy for life and afraid of death. When recruiting people before, Master Zhang's subordinates said, my son is honest, infinitely powerful and has a tiger spirit, so he accepted it. The old lady said proudly.
"Then, then I have to let my kid try it, eldest sister, go to my house tonight to eat river fish, my kid caught it, it can be regarded as filial piety to you........"
Zhang Xian escorted the bandits, beat horses and paraded the streets, and saw that the people around him took out fruits and eggs in their hands, and stuffed them into the hands of the family members one by one, and some picked up vegetable leaves and clods and threw them on the bandits, some of the people were laughing, some of the people were crying, and Zhang Xian, who was riding on a horse, looked at the scene in front of him, and had a sense of déjà vu. The people are really easy to satisfy, and the people's hearts are also easy to strive for, as long as they are sincere and sincere to do something for the people, they will use the most sincere and simple behavior in return, Zhang Xianzheng was thinking about it, and he heard someone shouting from behind:
"Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang, Lord Li Tingzhi led the troops to Yangzhou City and County Ya, and the county asked Lord Zhang to escort the bandits and go to see Lord Li together." A servant rode up at a gallop.
"Got it, you go and tell the county lord, and the official will be there immediately."
Zhang Xian sent away the servants, turned to Wang Fu and said:
"Wang Jiaotou, Lord Li Tingzhi has arrived at the county office, this lord is a character, this official must go to the county government immediately, there are two important things that need to be explained to you urgently. The first is to use the fastest speed to allocate one hundred and twenty of the war horses promised by the county order to the Nether Wolf to ride, and the more twenty horses as a supplement, so that Zhao Feiyun can only practice vigorously, and the remaining war horses will be allocated forty horses to Luo's military intelligence department for three days; Forty horses remaining, one for the captain and above; The second is that after Li Tingzhi counted these bandits, he selected 500 of the strongest people from the more than 3,000 bandits, and gave them the Nether Wolf Rider as a sparring partner, telling them whether they were bare-handed or with knives and guns, as long as they could escape from the Nether Wolf Rider station within ten days, the official could let them go, and if they could catch or kill any of the Nether Wolf Riders, the official would not only release them, but also reward them with a hundred taels of silver. ”
After listening to Zhang Xian, Wang Fu said with a smile:
"Hahaha, Lord Zhang, if you are really careful and bold, you Lord Zhang dares to ask the bandits among the five hundred bandits to deal with his own 100 ghost wolf riders, just formed you want them to carry out death drills, you know, these outlaw bandits have been forced to fight on their backs, and the combat power is really extraordinary. These Nether Wolf Riders are all elites carefully selected by adults, and even one less will make people feel painful! In addition, we have captured the bows and arrows of the bandits, which are of high quality, and it is a pity that they are used in the hands of these bandits, and the old man hopes that the adults will also transfer them to the Nether Wolf Ride. ”
"Sect Leader Wang, you can directly transfer the bow and arrow, and I will tell Li Tingzhi about it. As for the bold things, it is precisely because they are all killer weapons that we must rely on and count on in the future, and if we don't practice death now, it will be too late to practice when the time comes! I am a ghost wolf, if I want to become a god, I must first become a demon, and how will I shine in the world in the future without going through Nirvana? The mighty military might of any powerful army in the world did not fall from the sky, but was definitely won by going through a thousand hardships and bloody battles. The reason why this official only tells you this secret is not only because of Wang Jiaotou's past achievements, but also because Wang Jiaotou has witnessed the decline of my Great Song Dynasty in your life, and this official hopes that in your lifetime, you can witness the rise of my Great Song Dynasty again! Zhang Xian said solemnly.
"My lord, if you have a heart, the old man will do it!" Wang Fu said. Zhang Xian's words, every time I can always say that Wang Fu's heart is in the camp, as a soldier, Wang Fu's military exploits are worthy of the Song Dynasty, but as a soldier, in the face of the iron hooves of the Tartars, the loss of the land, Wang Fu is ashamed, since he saw Zhang Xian, Wang Fu's heart seems to have seen a round of rising sun, dazzling and dazzling.
