Chapter 735 Singing Blackface, Knocking and Knocking Some People [Asking for a Monthly Pass!] 】

（0735）

[Today's first update delivered]

Jinan City in April is actually very beautiful, full of flowers and pleasant scenery.

Zhang Zhun and Zhang Yan and others came out of Baotu Spring and walked slowly along the banks of Daming Lake. At this time, Daming Lake is already very vibrant and full of spring. On both sides of Daming Lake, there are many willow trees, all of which are already covered with obvious green, and some branches have grown to more than two feet long. The majestic wind blows, and the willow branches continue to sway, bringing people visual beauty.

On the surface of the lake, there are groups of mandarin ducks, swimming happily and making long ripples behind. Through the turquoise lake, you can see that on the opposite mountain, the green trees and red flowers reflect each other, which is very beautiful. Among the green trees and red flowers, there are also faintly exposed pavilions. The distant mountains and rivers and the clear sky are all in one color, and it is like a huge beautiful picture.

This year, Zhang Zhun has always lived in Rong Ma, and it is rare to have such an opportunity to go out to play in the mountains and rivers, so Zhang Zhun still enjoys the current leisure. As he walked, he hummed a tune that no one could understand. Infected by Zhang Zhun's relaxed atmosphere, the people around Zhang Zhun also showed a rare smile.

However, Zhu Dadian and others who followed Zhang Zhun couldn't say their bitterness. Because, they did not accompany Zhang Zhun to visit Daming Lake, but to accept Zhang Zhun's beating. Therefore, for the beautiful scenery of Daming Lake, they don't have the heart to appreciate it at all. No matter how beautiful the scenery in front of them is, their hearts are tormented, day by day.

Zhang Zhun came to Jinan City this time, and the main purpose was to beat some restless people. In layman's terms, it is to sing blackface and deter some people. If these people die without repentance, or if the policy towards the Tiger Ben Army is contrary to the yang and yin, Zhang Zhun does not mind eliminating them. Zhu Dadian and them happened to be the targets of Zhang Zhun's beating.

Since learning that Zhang Zhun was coming to Jinan City, Zhu Dadian and their lives have not been good. No one knows what Zhang Zhun will do with them, and where their future way out is. Zhang Yan wanted to come to Jinan City, and Zhu Dadian felt even more helpless. Zhang Zhun and Zhang Yan are obviously two different paths, which side are he going to take?

When he arrived at the Arctic Pavilion, Zhang Zhun stopped.

The Arctic Pavilion was built by the Mongolians at the beginning, and it is a large attic with two halls, two halls before and after, east and west matching rooms, and a bell tower. Inside the Arctic Pavilion, there are complete equipment and facilities for visitors to rest here. After Zhang Zhun and the others entered the Arctic Pavilion, they dispersed. Before they arrived, the other visitors were naturally politely denied entry to the Arctic Pavilion.

Zhang Yan was tired of walking, so she went to the side to rest, accompanied by two princes. She had a private thing to say to them, and it was inevitable. Zhang Zhun also ignored it. King De and King Heng are not material for big things, their only purpose is to save their own lives, and then their glory and wealth, so they can't make any waves.

Zhang Zhun was born in the military, of course he didn't feel tired, he sat in the innermost part of the apse of the Arctic Pavilion with a golden sword, staring at Zhu Dadian and the others condescendingly. In this way, Zhu Dadian and others will be in trouble. They can all feel that their fate is in Zhang Zhun's thoughts. Involuntarily, the entire apse was silent, and no one dared to make any loud noise.

After the Tiger Ben Army was stationed in Jinan City, the first policy implemented was that all officials should be laid off and then re-recruited. Officials who are incompetent, officials who are not in good working condition, and officials who want to fish in troubled waters have all been cleaned up. In the past month, the Tiger Ben Army has completely replaced the entire Jinan Prefecture, including Jinan City itself, as well as all the officials of all the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction.

Originally, there were at least 300 high-ranking officials in Jinan Prefecture, which was the so-called official. And the number of officials without rank, that is, the so-called officials, may exceed two thousand. In addition to the officials, there are also so-called helpers, errands, etc., adding up, there are thousands of people. The existence of these people makes the financial burden of Jinan very heavy. A considerable amount of the taxes paid by the people are consumed by these people.

Even, in order to pay for these people's money and food, the government has to continue to apportionment to the common people, resulting in a great burden on the people. Zhou Ming once made incomplete statistics, if he opened a small shop in Jinan City, he would have to pay at least 30 various assessments every month. Yes, the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty was very low, almost negligible, but the other apportionments were much more powerful than the commercial tax.

After the arrival of the Tiger Army, all apportionments except for normal land rent and commercial tax were abolished. According to conservative estimates, at least hundreds of assessments have been abolished. According to Zhang Zhun's consistent style, Zhou Ming was near the four gates of Jinan City, and all the monuments were made as announcements. The people naturally warmly welcomed the Tiger Ben Army and supported it to the extreme.

According to Zhang Zhun's assumption, the entire Jinan City, all the management personnel, add up to five or six hundred people. In the other prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Jinan Prefecture, the large one is enough for about 100 people, and the small one for 70 people can handle it. The more people there are, the lower the efficiency of the work, and the greater the chance of kicking each other's balls, which has been proven by countless examples in later generations.

Gao Hongtu personally came to Jinan City and was responsible for the selection of officials here. As a result, a large number of officials, including Zhu Dadian, were all eliminated. All of those who were selected were those who were unknown, down-to-earth, and diligent. There are also some radical angry youths. Of course, there are also some who are directly elected from the people and take root at the grassroots level.

The original garrison of Jinan City was also disbanded and turned into civilians. From now on, their military status will be completely lifted. The original officers of the guard, except for those who ran away, were all detained by Zhang Zhun and carried out training classes and brainwashing. It is impossible for them to come out of the training class until the brainwashing is done.

Zhu Dadian and others are now free. Well, to be precise, they were deprived of their official positions by the Tiger Ben Army, but the imperial court did not deprive them of their official positions, so it is really hard to say whether they are considered to be reduced to the people. In short, their power is definitely gone. Gone are the days that belonged to them.

If they have somewhere else to go, they can go somewhere else. If not, then you can only stay in Jinan City and obediently be a civilian. As long as they are not extremely heinous and cause public indignation, and can abide by the provisions of the "Juntian Order" and dispose of the land and property under their names in accordance with the regulations, Zhang Zhun will let them go.

Today, those real officials are busy in their respective posts, and they simply don't have time to accompany Zhang Zhun at all. Originally, three or four thousand people were responsible for the work, but now there are only three or four hundred people doing it, and they can't do it without hard work. The people who accompanied Zhang Zhun in Daming Lake were basically laid-off officials. Bringing a group of "enemies" to visit Daming Lake, such a thing can only be imagined by Zhang Zhun.

In fact, there are tiger soldiers stationed here, and Zhang Zhun is not worried about them making trouble in Jinan City. If these people were self-aware, they wouldn't have made trouble. Otherwise, what awaits them will definitely be the iron fist of the Tiger Army. If from the corner of looting money, Zhang Zhun still wants Zhu Dadian and them to make trouble? As long as they make trouble, they will immediately kill people and raid their homes, and all their property will fall into the hands of the Tiger Army.

"I believe you all hate me Zhang Zhun very much. I can't wait to cut me with a thousand knives, I can't wait to put me in the oil pot, I can't wait to cut my skin and bones, and maybe someone can't wait to pick up my ancestral grave. However, it doesn't matter, there are many people who hate me Zhang Zhun, not many of you, and many of you less. If you have the guts and the ability, you can come up and beat me up. If you don't have the guts, or if you don't have the ability, then forget it. ”

Zhang Zhun's opening remarks are also particularly interesting.

"In the past, everyone was used to living a good life on the ground in Shandong. All of you present have at least 500 acres of land at home, and some even have 30,000 or 40,000 acres. Now, we have suddenly been pulled down from the high platform, and most of the land has also been confiscated, which will definitely be very uncomfortable. Well, I can understand how you feel. ”

"Today I invite you to visit Daming Lake, in fact, there is no other meaning, I just want to tell you what is in my heart. I know you hate me. But I also know that there are more people who hate you than they hate me. In the current Jinan Mansion, if you want to say that there are 290,000 people who hate you, if not 300,000. So, let's not dwell on this issue. To hate, or not to hate, to hate me, or to hate you, it doesn't make sense anymore. The key is that we look to the future. Life always has to go on, how to live the days in the future? ”

"That's right, you can't be an official anymore. However, the road after that has not been completely blocked. What I give you is a way of life, not a way of death. Seriously, even if I order all of you to be cleaned up and all your family property to be taken over to the Tiger Army, I believe that no one will be able to avenge you. ”

"If you want to say that I, Zhang Zhun, am the kind of person who is Huang Chao, it is impossible for you to stand here today. Your bones may have been gnawed away by wolves. Emperor Chongzhen? Don't count on him. His food, clothing, and food were all transported from me. Without my approval, he would have starved in vain in the capital. ”

Zhang Zhun said slowly.

"Having said so much, it actually means the same thing. I hope that everyone can correct their mentality, face the reality, and plan their future life well. If you are ready to continue to stay in Jinan City, you must obediently abide by the relevant laws and regulations. If you don't look for death yourself, I won't take the initiative to find trouble with you. However, if you seek your own death, then I will not be polite. ”

Zhang Zhun said with an awe-inspiring face.

Zhu Dadian and the others below naturally had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say. That's right, Zhang Zhun did let them live, and did not slaughter them all like Huang Chao. However, Zhang Zhun also pulled them from heaven to hell, turning their lives upside down.

Their official status is gone, their power is gone, and their surplus land and property are confiscated. To say that in their hearts, there is no slightest jealousy towards Zhang Zhun, it is absolutely impossible. But even if they are jealous, so what? Huang Taiji and Chongzhen are very jealous of Zhang Zhun, so what?

Rise up against Zhang Zhun? Of course you can, as long as they don't live. Zhang Zhun's strength is already so huge, they have no hope of defeating Zhang Zhun. The Tiger Army was even able to defeat the Mongol cavalry in a field battle, what kind of combat effectiveness did this have? In time, it is inevitable to hit Shenyang. Even the most ferocious Tartars can't resist the attack of the Tiger Army, can they still expect the imperial army to stop the Tiger Army? Or stop dreaming.

More importantly, Zhang Zhun has mobilized the people of Jinan City. In the current Jinan City, more than ninety percent of the people are sincerely supportive of Zhang Zhun and the Tiger Ben Army, and the remaining few people, that is, these people, will be dissatisfied with Zhang Zhun when their own interests are seriously violated.

But even if they are dissatisfied, so what? They are all surrounded by the vast sea of the people, and their every move will be monitored by others. It's absolutely impossible to make a small move behind your back without being noticed. It is no exaggeration to say that even if they quietly scolded Zhang Zhun behind their backs, Zhang Zhun would know it the next day.

Zhu Dadian dared to conclude that if there was anything to do, there would be no need for the Tiger Ben Army to take action, and those people who were provoked would be the first to find trouble with them. They must admit that in the past, they were indeed not very popular with the people in Jinan City.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhang Zhun's relevant policies, they would have been killed by the angry people a long time ago. In Zhang Zhun's words, this is harmony. If Zhang Zhun had the intention of harmonizing them, they would have been harmonized a long time ago.

It was not easy to have a way to live, and it was indeed difficult for them to regain their courage and go against Zhang Zhun. Now they have fully realized the preciousness of life. If your head is hung on the tower, it will be useless to say anything

"We all know the hard work of Lord Governor. We all remember the kindness of Lord Governor, and we will definitely behave in a proper manner, and we will definitely not cause trouble to the Tiger Army. We can swear to heaven that we will abide by all the laws and regulations of the Tiger Army, and we will never exceed them. ”

Zhu Dadian had to say euphemistically.

His original official position was the governor of Shandong, and he was the highest-ranking official in Shandong, and if he didn't express his position, Zhang Zhun would definitely make a fuss about him. In other words, hanging a small governor doesn't seem to be a big deal. At the very least, Emperor Chongzhen is not capable of pursuing this matter, and his death of Zhu Dadian is a death in vain.

"Very good"

Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction.

"Lord Dudu, the queen wants to invite you to come to the side."

Suddenly, the palace maid named Chu Bingyan came to Zhang Zhun's side and said in a low voice.

"Good"

Zhang Zhun nodded and stood up.

Zhang Yan and the two princes have been chatting privately for so long, and they should have come to some conclusions. Please come over by yourself, probably to give the two princes a reassurance, lest the two princes panic every day, and even their hair is about to fall out.

In fact, Zhang Yan came to Jinan City, and the lords and magnates of Jinan City can be said to be eager to see through, among them, as representatives, it is naturally King De and King Heng. Knowing that Zhang Yan was coming, the two princes really had countless grievances to appeal, but when they saw Zhang Zhun by Zhang Yan's side, the two princes immediately withered again.

In fact, not all princes are so courageous. The kind of prince who is not afraid of death is really very rare. They are not afraid of death because they have not yet realized that they are going to die. As soon as they notice it, they immediately become very scared. It seems that the most well-known King Fu in the late Ming Dynasty turned out to be flying and domineering to death, and even Emperor Chongzhen didn't pay attention to it, but when he heard that Li Zicheng was going to attack Luoyang, he was immediately scared.

King Heng of Qingzhou City and King De of Jinan City have been frightened by the Tiger Ben Army I don't know how many times. The courage of the two of them is indeed not very large, and their personalities are also obviously inclined to indecision. If someone else had changed, he would have either fled to Jiangnan or Beijing, and he would definitely not have stayed in Shandong. However, the fact that they continued to stay in Shandong shows that they really can't think of a better way out.

Fleeing to Jingshi, surrounded by the Tartars, the situation may be even worse. As for fleeing to Jiangnan, he must also abandon all his family business in Shandong. Because of the lack of luck, they can not take much with them. In short, if they run away, they basically have no assets. Moreover, there is also a fatal decree in this, that is, if the vassal king does not have a will, he cannot leave the country, otherwise, it is a great crime of rebellion.

At this moment, Chongzhen obviously couldn't give them two wills to leave Shandong. In other words, even if they fled to Jiangnan, they might be arrested by someone with a heart and treated as a major crime of rebellion. Rather than end up like this, it is better to see if there is room for turning around under the knife edge of the Tiger Ben Army. Before, Zhang Zhun's attitude towards the two of them was not to kill them all, which was also their only hope.

Seeing Zhang Zhun coming, Zhang Yan said softly: "Two uncles, if you have doubts and puzzles, please ask him to answer." ”

The age of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is actually not the oldest. However, he was the emperor, and the emperor was the greatest, so Zhang Yan called all her relatives uncles, not uncles. In fact, no one dares to be called Zhang Yan like this.

Zhang Zhun said quietly: "What do the two princes need to know? ”

King De's expression was a little stiff and said: "Lord Governor, I will divide all the land in my name to my relatives and abide by the provisions of the Juntian Order, why can't I?" ”

Zhang Zhun said undoubtedly: "The movable property of the royal family can be preserved, but the land and other immovable property are absolutely impossible. ”

Because of the special identities of King De and King Heng, Zhang Zhun and Gao Hongtu and others discussed and decided to confiscate all the land and real estate in the names of the two kings and dispose of them again. They can only keep their movable property, that is, floating wealth and the like. To put it simply, only gold, silver, jewelry, and the like can be preserved, and nothing else is possible.

King De and King Heng are also entangled in this point. Why is it that everyone else can give their land to their relatives, but not themselves? The reason is very simple, because they are the princes and members of the Zhu family's royal family. Since Zhang Zhun wants to rebel, it is impossible for the original royal family to maintain so many privileges. It was a very merciful decision to allow them to keep some of the gold and silver.

In fact, Zhang Zhun has already given them a way out. At the very least, they can save some of the family property they have accumulated. The two of them may not have a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but compared to those big families who were cleaned up by Zhang Zhun, they are indeed very favorable. If they had been replaced by other thieves, they would have been killed and raided a long time ago.

Zhang Zhun continued to say coldly: "If you want to distribute the land to your relatives, that's okay." As long as you publicly declare that you will sever ties with Chongzhen and renounce your status as a vassal king, I can allow you to keep your property. ”

The faces of King De and King Heng suddenly turned blue and white.

Publicly severing relations with Chongzhen?

This trick is too vicious

This is Zhang Zhun's killer feature.

The property of the Shandong royal family is mainly concentrated in the hands of King Lu. King Lu is a pig, and Zhang Zhun wants to slaughter it cleanly and completely, and then confiscate all his family property. Therefore, Zhang Zhun would not give King Lu any chance to survive at all. King De and King Heng are two alternative role models, if they can openly oppose Chongzhen, it will still be very beneficial to the image of the Tiger Army.

If there are two princes who openly oppose Chongzhen, it can fully show that Chongzhen has indeed completely lost the support of the people in the world. You see, even the emperor's relatives have come out to oppose it, what else does he, the emperor, have to do? Of course, this is very difficult for King De and King Heng. Between giving up real estate and openly opposing Chongzhen, they chose the former.

King De said helplessly: "What can we do without fields?" ”

Zhang Zhun said without hesitation: "Do business"

The two princes, you look at me, I look at you, both with blank faces.

Business?

They're not business fodders

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "Now is a good time to do business. In the hands of the two of you, as long as you have enough funds, there are a lot of business opportunities waiting for you. ”

After a slight pause, Zhang Zhun said seductively: "If the two of you feel that you are not sure about doing business, you can inject funds into the first money bank and charge a certain amount of interest every year." ”
