Chapter 92: The Fall of the Zhang Family in Jingzhou 7
86_86695 There are not many people sent by the Zhang family of Nanzhili to Jingzhou. In addition to Zhang Tianlu, there are only a few young people who are more close to Zhang Wenda's family and have a close relationship with Zhang Tianlu, the second generation of officials, who are responsible for handling the affairs of the Zhang family in Jingzhou. And these things aren't that much. Because the main industry of the Zhang family in Jingzhou is a few shops in Jingzhou Mansion and tens of thousands of acres of land outside Jingzhou.
These shops and lands are all in the name of Zhang Tianlu. However, those who manage these industries are specifically responsible for the management of the Zhang family's servants. Those young masters will never go into practice. Their main job is to eat, drink and have fun with Zhang Tianlu every day as helpers.
The pace of life in an agrarian society is quite slow. After Zhang Tianlu sent his housekeeper out, he no longer paid attention to the affairs of Zhijiang County. He spends most of his energy on spending time and drinking on the ground. Because he knew that this was the last time he could indulge in pleasure before he arrived in the capital. Once he arrived in Beijing, as the heir of the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, he not only had to be respectful and filial to his heir, but also showed the gentleness and frugality of a child of a family outside.
Zhang Tianlu also gathered his cousins together this day, like every day recently, to play a set of opera troupes sent by Jingwangfu. Like most people in the vested interests of this era, Zhang Tianlu is also quite open to sexual interests. The opera troupe sent by King Jing's Mansion was half male and half female. Zhang Tianlu fell in love with one of the young actors with red lips and white teeth. As soon as a track ended, he held the scene in his arms and laughed.
Seeing that the boss has opened, Zhang Tianlu's cousins are no longer polite. They went straight to the scene and went straight to their favorite plays. The whole lobby suddenly presented a **** atmosphere of "heaven and earth".
Just when Zhang Tianlu and his cousins, the main persons in charge of the entire Jingzhou Zhang family, gathered together and danced wildly. The special investigation battalion of the Fuxing Society led by Zhang Baoshu took advantage of the vast night to enter the Jingzhou capital city.
The capital city of Jingzhou is much taller than the county seat of Zhijiang. However, as far as the city defense situation is concerned, the city defense situation of Jingzhou Prefecture is far inferior to that of Zhijiang County. This is not to say how good the urban defense situation of Zhijiang County is, but because the urban defense of Zhijiang County is in charge of the Fuxing Army.
At present, all the armed forces in Zhijiang County are under the direct control of the Renaissance Society. Tang Wenguang, the county magistrate of Zhijiang County, was completely placed under house arrest by the Revival Association, and in addition to sitting in the court from time to time to decide cases, the government affairs of Zhijiang County, whether it was taxation, public safety or people's livelihood governance, were all controlled by the Renaissance Association.
Jingzhou Mansion, like most of the inland cities of the Ming Dynasty, is quite loose in terms of urban defense. It was the army of Jingzhou Wei who was responsible for the defense of Jingzhou Prefecture. In addition to the more than twenty soldiers who were responsible for guarding the six city gates. On the walls of the entire Jingzhou Mansion City, only a few soldiers were responsible for patrolling. Of course, this kind of patrol is only theoretical. In fact, the soldiers who were in charge of patrolling the city walls had long since fallen asleep in the towers.
The soldiers of the special investigation battalion are all fighting in small teams. Because in daily training, they train in the mode of ten-person squads, so in actual combat, they still adopt the same combat mode. Because as early as a few days ago, the ten special investigation battalion teams had already conducted on-the-spot investigations of the situation in Jingzhou Mansion, so Zhang Baoshu only ordered them to assemble at the assembly site near Zhang Tianlu's mansion after entering Jingzhou Mansion.
And just like that, under the cover of night. The ten special investigation battalion squads showed their abilities and used different methods to enter Jingzhou Mansion City from different paths. Of course, from the different ways they chose to enter the city, you can see the different styles of each team.
For example, Zhang Baoshu's direct team uses a small crossbow to launch a grappling hook, and then climbs the wall into the city. After climbing the city wall, Zhang Baoshu took ten members of the team into the sleeping place of the city defense soldiers. Soon, more than 30 city defense soldiers distributed in different places died quietly under the three-edged thorn.
For another example, a team leader named Xia Dabao led the team members to enter Jingzhou Mansion through the tunnel dug in advance. Because in Xia Dabao's team, there is a Henan man who has been a tomb robber. So, a few days ago, the team rented a small courtyard close to the city wall, and it took ten people three days to dig tunnels leading to the outside of the city.
In short, the ten special investigation battalion squads used several different methods to easily enter Jingzhou City in the dark night. After a while, the ten squad leaders met at the meeting point near Zhang Tianlu's mansion. After reporting the situation to Zhang Baoshu, the ten squad leaders quietly waited for the battalion commander Zhang Baoshu to give the order.
Because I've done countless simulation drills a long time ago. Therefore, Zhang Baoshu did not talk nonsense, and directly issued an order to dispatch in accordance with the battle plan.
About half an hour passed. Ten squads and more than 100 soldiers of the special reconnaissance battalion who had undergone strict training poisoned the dogs of Zhang's mansion, knocked all the subordinates of Zhang's mansion unconscious, and stabbed all the guards of Zhang's mansion to death with three-edged thorns, and completed the work on the periphery smoothly. After that, Zhang Baoshu's team entered the room where Zhang Tianlu was.
Zhang Tianlu never dreamed that he would have such a day. More than a dozen of their own brothers and more than 20 musicians were slashed and killed by a dozen or so weirdos with black rumbling all over their bodies and oil paint on their faces, chopping vegetables and melons. By the time he could react, he was the only one in the room gasping for breath.
The sudden encounter made Zhang Tianlu's brain, which was poisoned by alcohol and beauty, unable to function. He stared at Zhang Baoshu and the others with his mouth half-open, and he couldn't make a single movement until Zhang Baoshu stepped forward and slapped him fiercely, he came back to his senses, knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy.
Zhang Baoshu was not only calm but also gentle at this time. He smiled and said to Zhang Tianlu, "Young Master Zhang, as long as you draw a charge on these pieces of paper and press your handprint, we will not hurt Young Master Zhang." ”
The human desire to survive is enormous. As long as there is a chance to live, no one can give up such an opportunity. Zhang Tianlu's current love is like this. He had no idea that his cousins were lying on the ground and bleeding. All his attention was now devoted to saving his life.
The few pieces of paper that Zhang Baoshu took were several IOUs for borrowing money. The amount of money involved in these IOUs was huge, and they were all secured by the Zhang family's property in Jingzhou. Moreover, the repayment deadline is just a few days away. Zhang Tianlu doesn't care what he signed at this time. With Zhang Baoshu's "help," he trembled and signed these IOUs. After that, he tried his best to make a flattering smile and choke Zhang Baoshu with disgust.
Obviously, Zhang Tianlu's IQ is not low, and he knows that his smiling face does not meet the needs of these unidentified weirdos. He felt that he needed to repay others for their kindness of not killing with realistic benefits. The benefit of reality is naturally the gold and silver treasure that Zhang Tianlu has saved in Jingzhou for several years. He diligently took Zhang Baoshu and his party to the room where the goods were hidden.
Zhang Baoshu looked at the watch on his wrist. It has been more than three hours since I entered the city. After the soldiers collected all kinds of belongings found from Zhang's mansion, he casually stabbed Zhang Tianlu to death on his knees with a three-edged thorn. After that, he made a few gestures to the players.
Soon, the soldiers of the special investigation battalion took out some plastic bottles and poured the gasoline in the plastic bottles on Zhang Tianlu and all the dead bodies of Zhang Fu. After lighting the corpses with matches. The soldiers of the special investigation battalion left Zhang's mansion with the booty. More than half an hour passed. More than 100 people disappeared into the vast night outside Jingzhou Mansion.
In ancient times, it was easy to spot a fire. The fire at Zhang Tianlu's house was first discovered by nearby neighbors. After discovering that Zhang's house was on fire, residents near Zhang's house began to spontaneously put out the fire. Before the water dragon team in Jingzhou Mansion was dispatched, a quarantine zone had been sorted out near Zhang's house.
Just when everyone was busy fighting the fire, the Jingzhou Mansion also received the news. Zhang Yan, the same acquaintance of Jingzhou Mansion, was born in the Zhang family of Nanzhili. However, he is a distant branch of the Zhang family, and they are not very familiar with Zhang Wenda. If you talk about it in detail, Zhang Yan's seniority in the Zhang family is even higher than Zhang Wenda. If Zhang Tianlu saw him, he would call him uncle and grandfather. In this case, both Zhang Yan and Zhang Tianlu avoided meeting each other. Zhang Yan disliked Zhang Tianlu's bad reputation in Jingzhou. Zhang Tianlu didn't want to have an extra grandfather on his head.
Although Zhang Yan doesn't like Zhang Tianlu very much, he can't write two Zhang at one time. The ancients' concept of clan was extremely heavy. The subordinates in Zhang Yan's mansion immediately reported the fire in Zhang Tianlu's house to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan is in his forties this year, and he is completely relying on his own ability to become a five-grade Tongzhi. Of course, Zhang Yan didn't say it, but he also knew in his heart that he could be the top of the five-grade Shangfu Tongzhi smoothly. Ten snobbs in the Ministry of Officials saw the face of Zhang Wenda, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, so they didn't embarrass him much. When Zhang Wenda became an official of the Ministry of Officials, Zhang Yan was also a little happy in his heart.
The prefect of Jingzhou Prefecture is Zhang Hong. Although the number one and second leaders of Jingzhou Mansion, one is named Zhang Hong and the other is Zhang Yan, the two are not a family. Zhang Hong is from Suzhou, Zhang Yan is from Chizhou, and the two places are quite far apart. However, Zhang Hong is a dull character, and he is very inattentive to government affairs, and spends most of his time every day painting and touring the mountains and water. In Jingzhou Mansion, he also has the nickname of Closed Door.
The prefect ignores government affairs, so naturally he can only control the government with the same knowledge. Therefore, in the face of this kind of emergency, it can only be handled by Zhang Yan, a fellow acquaintance. As a veteran bureaucrat who has worked in Jingzhou for more than two years, he is very familiar with handling such emergencies. Soon, the magistrate of Jingzhou Mansion personally led the team to inspect Zhang's Mansion, which was completely extinguished by the fire at the second o'clock night.
The damage of gasoline to civil structures is enormous. The officials and officials only found the bodies of some of Zhang's subordinates who were not completely burned at the scene. Whether it was Zhang Tianlu or his cousins, it was ignited directly after being fully drenched in gasoline. So, after the fire, none of their wreckage was found
