"Scofa?

"Why are you here?"

Outside Nanjing, he had obviously let Shi Kefa go. At this time, Shi Kefa, if he wasn't in Yangzhou, he should be on the way back to the capital! How did it appear in this Haizhou City? Moreover, how could he still fall into the hands of pirates? It's really strange to meet him in Nanjing City, and meet him again in Haizhou City! I really have a fate with him!

Shi Kefa glared coldly and refused to answer.

After leaving Nanjing City last time, Shi Kefa did not admit Zhang Zhun's affection. Zhang Zhun brazenly bombarded Nanjing City, which was absolutely unacceptable to a Jinshi official like him. The bombardment of the city of Nanjing was even more odious than a rebellion. In particular, Zhang Zhun is from a military family and is a typical martial artist, and Shi Kefa has even more opinions about Zhang Zhun. With his character, he would rather Zhang Zhun cut him with a knife than beg Zhang Zhun for mercy.

A very old civil official inside looked Zhang Zhun up and down, and felt that Zhang Zhun was too young, not like a commander with troops, but like the leader of the personal soldiers around the commander, so he said suspiciously: "Where are you from the reinforcements?" Who is the manager? ”

Zhang Zhun said: "I am Zhang Zhun, Zhang Yulin, from Aoshanwei. ”

The very old civil official was shocked and said, "What? Are you Zhang Zhun? ”

As soon as Zhang Zhun came out, except for Shi Kefa, all the other civil officials changed color. Some people were so nervous that they almost collapsed on the deck on the spot. Everyone's face was pale and pale, without the slightest trace of blood.

God, Zhang Zhun actually appeared!

The pirates who entered the city were none other than his subordinates who claimed to be Zhang Zhun...... Now, Zhang Zhun actually appeared here in person...... Hey? It doesn't seem right, Zhang Zhun's subordinates...... Well, it's these people in front of you who killed another group of Zhang Zhun's subordinates...... What's going on?

Mo Yu, who followed Zhang Zhun's side, said eloquently: "Don't panic, everyone, this is the real Zhang Zhun and Zhang Dudu." It was not the subordinates of Lord Governor who attacked Haizhou City and captured you. They tried to blame the Governor, so the Governor himself led his army to arrest all the impostors and clarify the truth. ”

All the officials, including Shi Kefa, were amazed.

What's going on? Those thieves weren't Zhang Zhun's troops? When those people came in, they shouted that they were Zhang Zhun's troops, and after they bombarded the city of Nanjing, they wanted to go to Haizhou City to have fun and celebrate the New Year in Haizhou City. Therefore, at that time, everyone did not suspect it, and they all thought that they were really Zhang Zhun's troops. Zhang Zhun even dared to provoke Nanjing City, what is the bloody Haizhou City?

Zhang Zhun's bombardment of Nanjing City has long been in an uproar. It is impossible for Nanjing to suppress such a big matter in person, and the intelligence network of Jinyiwei and Dongchang has long been reported. Due to time reasons, Beijing has not yet had time to do anything. However, Zhang Zhun's murderous reputation has spread far and wide in the Jiangnan area.

The very old official frowned and said, "There is such a thing in the world? ”

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "I just received the news, so I immediately rushed from Aoshanwei." This year, I also ruined them. ”

Shi Kefa said fiercely: "What kind of demon is the demon who is making trouble here? ”

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "I don't know this either. When I catch them, I'll hand them over to the adults for interrogation. ”

Shi Kefa said fiercely: "Okay! Be sure to check it out! ”

He could basically conclude that the thieves who slaughtered Haizhou City were definitely not Zhang Zhun's subordinates. Otherwise, Zhang Zhun wouldn't have gone on a killing spree here. Judging from the situation around the port, none of the thieves who slaughtered Haizhou City survived, and all of them were killed by Zhang Zhun's subordinates. Judging from the situation at the battle scene, it is impossible for Zhang Zhun to be playing a bitter trick.

As a civilian official, Shi Kefa admired the combat effectiveness of Zhang Zhun's troops. When the thieves came yesterday, Haizhou City did not have the slightest ability to resist, and the city gate was breached at once. These civil officials didn't even have a chance to commit suicide, so they were arrested by the thieves with lightning speed. At that time, they felt that the combat effectiveness of these thieves was very strong, and even if the Ming army from Huai'an Mansion came to reinforce them, they might not be able to solve the battle in a short time. Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Zhun came, he divided five by two, and cleaned up these thieves.

Although Zhang Zhun did bombard the city of Nanjing, it had a very bad impact, causing Shi Kefa to have a deep prejudice against Zhang Zhun. However, in Shi Kefa's heart, Zhang Zhun has not yet been regarded as Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng. No matter how big Zhang Zhun made trouble, it was all within the scope of the health center, and there was no positive conflict with the civil and official system. Rebellion and disturbance in the health system are commonplace among civil officials, so naturally they don't think it's strange. If any of the guards is safe and never makes trouble, then the sun is coming out of the west.

Therefore, Shi Kefa also subconsciously felt that it was because of the bad internal system of the health institute that people like Zhang Zhun would come out. Judging from the situation of the battle just now, if Zhang Zhun makes good use of it, he may not be a good general. Now that the world is in turmoil, internal and external troubles are going on, the edifice is about to collapse, and the news of defeat has come from the front, and there is really a great need for military attachés who can fight. It's just how to make good use of Zhang Zhun, but it is not his turn to lead.

Zhang Zhun said loudly: "Which one is the governor of Haizhou?" ”

[Author's note: At the county level in the Ming Dynasty, there were sayings of counties and states. If it is a county, it is called a prefectural order or prefectural county. If it is a state, it is called Zhizhou. The states of the Ming Dynasty were only equivalent to counties, which were different from the states of the Tang and Song dynasties. 】

The very old official bent down and saluted, and replied slowly: "The lower official Zhang Shenyan, the governor of Haizhou, has seen the governor of the prefecture. ”

Zhang Zhun was a little surprised and said, "You are the Duke of the Mountain?" ”

Zhang Shenyan said solemnly: "The lower official is called the mountain." ”

At the same time, his face was a little strange, why did Zhang Zhun call himself like that?

Zhang Zhun seems to have a lot of respect for himself, but he is obviously a thief! Bombardment of Nanjing City, isn't it an anti-thief? However, Nanjing gave him the title of Governor of the Later Military Governor's Office, and if Beijing did not object, it seems that Zhang Zhun could not be called an anti-thief...... Alas, what's the matter! Even he himself is confused, is Zhang Zhun a thief? Do you want to accept his contempt for the title of the prince of the mountain?

Zhang Shenyan himself is a family, in addition to his meritorious career, he is also very accomplished. He was a great thinker and poet, and he had many disciples. His greatest achievement is his unequivocal opposition to the "preservation of heavenly principles and elimination of human desires" that Taoists have always flaunted and advocated. He believes that what people want is the principle of heaven. Using feudal etiquette and religion to stipulate that people's behavior is to stifle human desires and human feelings, and boldly criticize traditional morality. For this reason, Zhang Shenyan was honored by his disciples as the Duke of the Mountain.

It's just that Zhang Shenyan's disciples are all literati. No military household ever called himself a contemptuous man. However, Zhang Zhun was born in a military household, and he also called himself the Duke of the Mountains seriously. Zhou Zhang Shenyan couldn't help but feel a little weird. In normal times, Zhang Shenyan really doesn't look down on military households. Even all the guards looked down upon. The reason for this is that the guard is not angry, and it cannot be used as an army at all, and it consumes a lot of money and food in vain. If it weren't for the fear that the guards would rise up and make trouble, Zhang Shenyan would have suggested that the guards should simply be abolished.

However, as soon as Zhang Zhun made a move, he cleaned up these fierce thieves, which seemed to subvert Zhang Shenyan's impression. The guards don't seem to be useless either. This Zhang Zhun, since he is the commander of Aoshanwei, of course, he brought Aoshanwei's guards. I really can't imagine that the guards of Aoshanwei actually have such combat effectiveness. If all the guards in the world were like this, the world would have been peaceful and peaceful long ago. For this reason, Zhang Shenyan also had a sense of intimacy with Zhang Zhun, and temporarily forgot Zhang Zhun's identity as an "anti-thief".

Zhang Zhun naturally didn't know what Zhang Shenyan was thinking, and said to himself: "It turns out that Gong Shanshan was demoted to the governor of Haizhou. ”

There is a reason why he always calls Zhang Shenyan the Duke of the Mountains. is different from Zhang Shenyan's guess. Zhang Shenyan thought that it was his own achievements and made Zhang Zhun respect himself, but in fact, Zhang Zhun respected him purely because of his iron bones and uprightness.

This Zhang Shenyan, like Yang Yipeng, is a very bony official. He even has more bones than Yang Yipeng. It is not an exaggeration to describe him with three ups and downs. He is a Jinshi of Wanli for 30 years, and he is an old official. If he had been an official like a smuggler, he would have become a scholar and entered the cabinet. It's a pity that because of the iron bones, if you see something unpleasant, you will have to go to the book, you will be impeached, and you will not even give the emperor face, as a result, he has been promoted many times, and he has been belittled, and the official road has always been ups and downs, ups and downs.

In the palace transfer case and the red pill case, which are known as the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Shenyan insisted on his own proposition and was resolute, which made the Emperor of the Apocalypse very unhappy, and finally drove him out of the capital, and deducted his salary for two years. In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, he offended the scholar Feng Quan again, and Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to fall into the well, directly pushed him to the end, and went to Jiuquan, Gansu. If he hadn't been killed, he would have died under the walls of Jiayuguan a long time ago.

After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, Zhang Shenyan was promoted to the rank of squire of the Criminal Department. In the second year of Chongzhen, the Tartars entered the Kou, and the governor of Shanxi, Geng Ruqi, and the chief military officer Zhang Honggong led the troops to Beijing, but because of the arbitrary arrangement of the military department, the soldiers had no food. In desperation, the soldiers had no choice but to loot everywhere to fill their stomachs. Chongzhen didn't ask the reason for the military department, but ordered the arrest of two people and asked the criminal department to convict them. Zhang Shenyan thought that the Ministry of War was at fault first, and the two of them were not guilty to death, so he directly wrote to impeach Wang Qia, the secretary of the Ministry of War. As a result, Emperor Chongzhen was very unhappy, so he demoted him and drove him out of the capital again. In the end, Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong were killed. Of course, Wang Qia was also killed later.

[Zhang Shenyan's introduction is omitted here, so as not to say that I ......]

After Zhang Zhun came to this world, he basically had no good impression of the officials of the Ming Dynasty. There are only a handful of exceptions. For example, this Zhang Shenyan is one of them. No matter what dynasty it is, such an upright and iron-clad official is always admirable. If they can take power, it will be a blessing for the country and the people. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the atmosphere of scholars and doctors has been generally eroded, and officials like Zhang Shenyan and Yang Yipeng are simply rare. It's a pity that Emperor Chongzhen doesn't like such officials.

Zhang Shenyan said a little anxiously: "Lord Dudu, the thieves are still doing evil in the city, and I also ask your army to pacify the rebels in the city as soon as possible and protect the territory and the people." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "I know." Come with me, all of you. ”

The group quickly came to the east gate of Haizhou City.

The pirates outside the city have all been cleaned up, leaving only the corpses of the pirates on the ground. Zhang Zhun dispatched three times the strength of the pirates' Tiger Ben Army in one go, and it was a surprise attack, and there were powerful firearms, so the pirates were naturally not opponents. The pirates who tried to go out of the city to seize the port met the Tiger Ben army head-on, only to be beaten to the point that they lost their armor and were defeated. After leaving more than 100 corpses outside the city, they fled into the city in a hurry.

The warriors of the Seventh Association are already preparing for the siege.

Yin Fengyi is directing troops to deliver explosives packages to the city gates.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Sporadic gunshots kept coming.

The pirates on the city wall were suppressed by the fire of the Tiger Ben army outside the city, and they did not dare to show their faces at all. The snipers of the Tiger Army all gathered outside the east gate, closely observing the movements of the pirates at the head of the city. As long as the pirates on the city dared to show their heads, they would shoot them and kill them on the spot. The sporadic gunshots just now were snipers from all directions. Basically, every time a gun goes off, there are pirates lying on the top of the city. Therefore, the pirates never dared to show their faces again.

Faintly, you can hear the chaotic sounds coming from inside the city, most of which are the screams of women. And the cry of a child. Guns of different voices rang out chaotically in the city. If there is no mistake in inference, it should be the pirates in the city, who now have no way to retreat, no way to live, and are buried in a frenzied murder.

In fact, it is.

I heard that Zhang Zhun came to Haizhou City with a large army, and he had already controlled all the pirate ships and surrounded Haizhou City, and the pirates could not rush out at all, and the pirate leader Sun Ronglu almost fainted on the spot. Suddenly, he realized that he had made a fatal mistake. When he was calculating Zhang Zhun and trying to blame Zhang Zhun, he actually put his life in Zhang Zhun's hands. He shouldn't have gone ashore at all. On the shore, he is not Zhang Zhun's opponent at all!

It's just a pity that it's all late.

Now that Zhang Zhun is here, he definitely has no chance to escape.

He was not yet naïve, and he expected Zhang Zhun to come with troops on Chinese New Year's Eve and would spare his life. When Zhang Zhun's troops set foot on the land of Huai'an Mansion, he had no way to live. Even if Zhang Zhun didn't kill him with his own hands, the people of Haizhou City would be too late for him. In the past two days, what the pirates have done in Haizhou City, Sun Ronglu is clear.

"Set fire!"

"Give me a hard arson!"

"Burn down the entire city of Haizhou!"

The desperate Sun Rong roared hysterically.

As a result, the pirates in Haizhou City were all crazy. They kill people when they see them, and they completely lose their minds. They also set fire to all the houses in the city. They also scattered the gold, silver, and jewels they had stolen on the road. The women who were stabbed to death by their **. For a time, the entire Haizhou City seemed to be hell on earth, and the surviving people scattered and fled for their lives, and the screams resounded in the sky.

Shi Kefa also heard the screams coming from the city, his face was gloomy, and he said very anxiously: "Zhang Zhun, what are your troops going to do?" ”

Zhang Zhun said quietly: "Blow up the city gate." ”

Shi Kefa wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "If you use a ladder or a piece of wood, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and it will be convenient and quick to explode it directly with explosives." ”

Shi Kefa subconsciously said: "Isn't the city wall damaged?" ”

Zhang Zhun snorted and said unabashedly: "Shi Langzhong doesn't think that the city wall is more important than the people in the city?" ”

Shi Kefa's face turned red, and he said bitterly: "So-and-so is wrong. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and didn't say anything more.

If there is a mistake, change it, but it is true temperament.
