The great victory, which is also a bit of a joke, is there still a force in Shaanxi that can confront the Salvation Army head-on at this moment?

Even Hong Chengchou, who is the most capable of conquest and war, is afraid to run to other places to suppress bandits, the whole Shaanxi is completely an undefended area, if Zhang Hongbin wants, he may even just send someone over to shout, and the other party will open the city and surrender. Of course, you can't underestimate the discipline of the Ming Dynasty officials, the Ming Dynasty has not fallen, and these guys are desperate to defend the city, but they have suffered the people who have been recruited.

With the return of the large army one after another, this time the conquest is equivalent to the end.

Originally, according to Cao Wenzhao's meaning, he only needed to give him a month and 3,000 elite soldiers, and he could defeat Shaanxi. However, Zhang Hongbin's meaning is that it is enough for them to fight at this stage, at least they don't have enough manpower to take over such a large territory, so they can't be left to fend for themselves, right?

This is actually the sequelae of the hanging, the accumulation of talents is insufficient, and the most important thing is that the early development is too fast, so that the reputation has not been completely started, so that the scholars of the world have one more choice to lay a huge territory, in this case until the other party reacts, with consistent traditional thinking, who would have thought of coming to Zhang Hongbin? So until Zhang Hongbin took Xi'an Mansion, the literati under his command were still very embarrassed.

It is not denied that this has a lot to do with his newly established administrative organs. If according to the past, one county order could be handled by three or four officials, then his thousands of civil servants would be scattered, not to mention Shaanxi, even one more Shanxi would be enough.

At the same time, however, it cannot be ignored that after the formation of the new administrative organs, the efficiency of each state and county has increased by more than three times. The number of unjust and wrongly decided cases has decreased by two times, local revenues have increased by an average of 3.7 times, the public order situation has become better and better, and there has been a marked improvement in the quality of government and clean government.

For this reason, if there is a shortage of talents, there is not enough, and without a stable and increasingly prosperous rear, where will there be resources to continue the war abroad? You know, even if it's a product in the supermarket system, you need silver to buy it.

"Good work, warriors!" In order to show his respect and high hopes for the army, Zhang Hongbin personally went out of the city for ten miles to greet him.

"It is our duty to protect our family and defend the country!" This sentence is actually a very formulaic answer, which means the same as 'serving the people'.

"Okay, I'm not pretentious, you have been fighting all the way to the death to get back the supreme glory of my salvation army. As the leader of the Salvation Army, your commander, I would like to say thank you! Zhang Hongbin bowed to all the soldiers, "Okay, don't be a child, let the people of Chang'an see how the warriors of my salvation army returned triumphantly!" ”

Even if they knew that it was a formulaic thing, but seeing Zhang Hongbin bowing towards them, all the soldiers couldn't help but be moved, at least those who saw this scene in front of them were not able to calm down. After all, in ancient times, especially in feudal times, class consciousness was very strong. Zhang Hongbin, as the leader, saluted these soldiers, which was like shaking hands with the emperor, and it was impossible to say that some people would never wash that hand in their lives.

Excitement, honor, and finally turned into neat steps, steady steps, step by step towards Chang'an City.

On both sides of the avenue, the people welcomed them, and many people from their families who joined the army came over one after another, just to see if they were their family members and returned safely. If you see it, you cheer excitedly, and if you don't see it, you feel uneasy.

"Zhang Hongbin, the thief who is the first to do heavy military affairs, has the demeanor of the founding emperor. Now it seems that the emperor neglected military training, but he favored more literati. If it is an ordinary situation, it can be regarded as a master of ZTE. But in today's situation, if there is no courage and insight of Grandpa Tai and Grandpa Cheng, Da Ming will be a little dangerous. In the crowd, Xu Guangqi said to his sons.

"Dad, since Zhang Hongbin is a king, and his niece is also married to him, why don't we ......" Xu Ji asked tentatively.

These days in the firearms workshop, he has been exposed to a variety of firearms that he has never seen before, and most importantly, he has broadened his understanding of firearms. To tell the truth, he has been obsessed with the study of firearms during this time, and if he hadn't been caught by his father this time, he would still be locked up in the research room.

"The food of the king, the matter of loyalty. You guys haven't come out yet, so how you choose is your business. But the old man is a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, and all the glory is given by the Ming Dynasty. Old man, but he can't watch Da Ming fall like this! Xu Guangqi shook his head regretfully.

Xu Ji knew that his father was stubborn, and since he had already decided something, he would naturally not change it. For this reason, except for a sigh, I don't know what to do.

At the same time, in the procession entering the city, there were three fresh faces.

"Shuangli, you have the highest knowledge, what do you think of the Salvation Army?" One of the officers looked at his colleague beside him.

"A strong general, it is rare to redeem the heavy soldiers of the big boss, there is no sourness and rot of those literati in the Ming Dynasty, and its momentum is also like a person who can achieve great things!" An officer named Shuangli gave his own assessment.

"I think, today, only those who are in charge of salvation are qualified to win the world!" The third officer commented.

"No matter what, the three of us will have the opportunity to meet him face to face soon, and then we will look at the situation carefully." Shuangli said with a smile.

Sure enough, at the celebration banquet that night, all the generals came to the banquet site.

The banquet has wine and meat, and the sumptuous Cheng dù is not inferior to the level of the state banquet. For the three generals who have been living on the line of extreme poverty, how lofty this is. What surprised them the most was that none of the generals were too excited, as if this level of banquet was a very ordinary level. This can't help but make them sigh: they all say that the Salvation Army is rich, but now it seems that it is really rich!

"The three of you, the generals who revolted before the battle?" Zhang Hongbin's eyes were already on them.

"General Feng Shuangli (Hao Shaoqi) (Yuan Zongdi), I have seen the big boss." The three men came out in unison and knelt down on one knee.

Feng Shuangli was originally a general of the border army, and the interesting thing is that his appearance was to meet the Salvation Army as the leader of the border army's bandit suppression unit, but in fact, he went south to fight the grass valley unit. As a result, there was no need to think about it, their team was completely wiped out, but he took the initiative to surrender with his headquarters. At this moment, this is still not famous, but according to the original history, he is one of Zhang Xianzhong's five military governors.

Hao Lianzhong was originally a flag-bearer in the army, so he was also called Hao Shaoqi. was originally a general under Li Zicheng, but at this moment he has not defected to Li Zicheng, but is a subordinate of another group of thieves. In fact, according to the information of the internal guard, this one has already taken refuge in Li Zicheng, this time using other thieves as a cover, trying to stay in Shaanxi as a nail, but at the moment of life and death in the battle with the Salvation Army, this one chose to surrender. But in general, his loyalty remains to be seen.

Yuan Zongdi, who is also a general under Li Zicheng, is of course the original time and space. At this moment, he organized a group of thieves to entrench in Pingliang Mansion, and he didn't plan to fight against the Salvation Army in the future, but the Salvation Army would not allow any disobedient forces to be in his territory, especially a group of thieves. As a result, it was obvious that Yuan Zongdi and his two subordinates, Hao Shaoqi, had thrown themselves into the Salvation Army.

"If you are truly loyal to The Salvation Army, then I can give you honor, power, money, and fame. But if you dare to betray, or if you secretly collude with outsiders to plot misdeeds, I will let you die a very miserable death, and more importantly, I will make you a historical sinner who will never recover, and let everyone scold you! Zhang Hongbin said very strictly.

"We will shed the last drop of blood for the Salvation Army!" If you don't show loyalty at this time, when will you stay?

Zhang Hongbin will not believe the words of others, loyalty, it takes time to prove. At the same time, the work of the internal guard cannot be neglected.

"I heard that there is another gentleman, when you went to Yan'an Mansion, he took the initiative to join my Salvation Army?" Zhang Hongbin turned his head to look at Li Dingguo.

"Grass farmer Wang Zhaolin, I have seen the redemption master!" Wang Zhaolin, who was beside Li Dingguo, immediately got up and went out.

Well, under Zhang Xianzhong, the left prime minister of the future Daxi regime. According to the ancient rules of left-first, this is the highest-level prime minister. It can also be seen from this that either he is very good at filming Zhang Xianzhong's sycophants, or he really has real talent and learning. But even if he can make a fool of himself, if he doesn't have real talent and learning, I'm afraid that Zhang Xianzhong may not be able to look down on him. It can be said that he is definitely a cabinet veteran-level talent, even if he may still be a little immature now.

"Mr. Wang's name, redemption is also a little heard, and it can be regarded as better than heard. Mr. Wang doesn't need to be polite, I still know your talent. In my case, I will not treat any talented literati badly, at least in our case, the people are sophisticated and subtle. The role that rules can play is very rare, so as long as you are really talented, I can provide you with a platform to display your talent! Zhang Hongbin said to him with a smile.

"I am willing to serve the Salvation Army and the big boss!" Wang Zhaolin was happy, but he still thanked him very calmly.

One expedition, harvesting four historical celebrities, not to mention laying a huge territory, Zhang Hongbin is really satisfied with this.

This night, everyone drank very happily, and Zhang Hongbin also returned happily, returned to his room, and then fell asleep under Xu Hui's service.
