Chapter 50 Next year's Chang'an

The genius is bright, and the fast ride of the annunciation has entered Huanglong County.

"Daxi, our army has captured Tongzhou City! Daxi, our army captured the city of Tongzhou......" The fast rider roared over and over again, as if he was afraid that others would not hear it.

However, after that, the sanitation workers who came out early immediately happily threw the broom in their hands into the air and shouted long live.

The shadow of defeat earlier did make them scared for a while, but now it is good, and the army has taken Tongzhou City. This is not just a battle feat, but it also proves that the Salvation Army is fully capable of attacking the city. This can no longer be considered a bandit, it can already be considered a regular army.

Moreover, it is still a more elite army than the Ming Dynasty and more sympathetic to the common people.

For the people living under the influence of the Salvation Army, seeing that life is getting better day by day, feeling the kindness and justice of the Salvation Army, I always think about how good it would be if this moment could go on forever. Before they knew it, The Salvation Army had taken deep roots in their hearts and gained their recognition. On the contrary, they have begun to feel disgusted with returning to the rule of the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid that at this time, even if someone asks them to return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, they may not be willing.

"Three thousand enemies were captured, five hundred were killed, and the number of our army killed was less than fifty, a great victory!" Ling He said excitedly to Zhang Hongbin.

"It's just that such an achievement is not worth being complacent, our enemy is still a relatively weak inland defender, if it is the border army and the Guanning army, or even the white pole soldiers in Sichuan, we may not be able to win with such small casualties." Zhang Hongbin glared at Ling He.

Ling He retreated embarrassedly, obviously ashamed of his pride.

"But being able to conquer the same state is also an improvement. Sue them and let them be stationed in Tongzhou on the spot, and at the same time arrange for them to be placed in Tongzhou, the core of the political center. Give you ten days, and after ten days, all the staff will move to the same state. Let's also get ready, and we'll have at least one place to work in ten days. By the way, after passing the Tongzhou Zhizhou exam, I was demoted by half a grade and retained, and at the same time, Ma Yu County of Baishui County was promoted to deputy Zhizhou and came over as my second deputy. Zhang Hongbin changed his words and immediately gave an order.

Ling He had also expected the relocation of the political center, but he didn't expect it to be relocated to Tongzhou City, which was at the forefront of the frontline, so he couldn't help but be a little worried.

After all, if it is in Huanglong Mountain, in this place where the three don't care, no matter where the enemy comes from, as long as he crosses the state border, he will not be under the management of the other party, so he will only wait for the other party to retreat and then come back, and it will be so smooth. However, if you go to Tongzhou to work, you will be in the range of the opponent's frontline, and if you really have to retreat, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get rid of the opponent's pursuit.

"We're no longer rogues, we have to be bold. When I work in Tongzhou City, I am announcing to the people of the world that our Salvation Army has changed from a ragtag army, a gang of unpopular thieves, to a regular army, a force independent of the Ming Dynasty! Yes, we've leveled up, from a rogue to an anti-thief! Zhang Hongbin waved his hand and said fearlessly.

"In this way, we will become a big trouble for Da Ming." Ling He smiled bitterly.

"But the question is, the whole state of Tongzhou is under the rule of Daming, who are they going to fight?" Zhang Hongbin said jokingly.

"Lord, you're so bad." Ling He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed evilly.

"Haha......" Zhang Hongbin readily accepted this statement.

Wang Er and Li Dingguo were originally going to come back, but when they received a notice, they stayed in Tongzhou with peace of mind.

In fact, since Tongzhou is the capital city, the prosperity is naturally incomparable to that of county-level cities. But in the eyes of these peasant generals, it was so chilling.

In the slums, you can even see beggars who have just starved to death, but in the rich areas, you can see those gentry enjoying the food and wine, and when they have time, they will call a few Qingqi people, and when the feelings are in place, they will recite poems against each other, and when the atmosphere is enough, they will go to their respective rooms to have a good time.

As they who have struggled on the food and clothing line, if they are not chilled when they see this scene, it is absolutely fake.

"You two, don't do anything out of the ordinary. Since the young master didn't want to punish them, then we don't have any right to do it on our behalf. Not to mention, the young master has always said that he wants to keep the soldiers away from politics, and this kind of political affairs is best left to professionals to deal with. We don't allow, and we can't get involved, unless you leave the military and get into the civil service. Niu Jinxing looked at their fierce faces and immediately came forward to persuade them.

"Peace of mind, we know how to measure...... It is said that 'Zhumen's wine and meat stinks and there are frozen bones', but now I have a real experience. Li Dingguo shook his head.

"The state is a tool to serve a small number of interest classes, I don't know why the young master's words, I can now understand so real." Wang Er also expressed his heartfelt emotion.

"The young master's thinking is also special, but it cannot be denied that it does have a high advanced nature, at least the essence of the country is analyzed very really." For Zhang Hongbin's theories, Niu Jinxing, who has heard it for a while, also has to admire.

Of course, what he didn't understand even more was why these theories came from the head of a sixteen-year-old boy. At this moment, he already knew that the real name of salvation was Zhang Hongbin, and he was the third young master of the Zhang family in Baishui County, and he had heard a little about the gossip of resurrection. Now I can't help but start thinking about that aspect, and I begin to wonder if this Zhang Hongbin is some kind of demonic possession that can be resurrected.

Of course, he quickly threw this idea out of his mind and kept hypnotizing himself: even if there is any possession, it is the star monarch in the sky!

Yes, the demons are for the sake of harming the world, but now that the Salvation Army still has acts of redemption, where is it harming the people? Look, after the people in the base area recognized the Salvation Army, they didn't want to return to the Ming Dynasty. Judging from this situation, Zhang Hongbin must be possessed by a certain star monarch, En, it must be so! Eun, it has to be like this!!

In the following time, in addition to routine patrols, most of Li Dingguo and Wang Er practiced soldiers on the school field, and rarely indulged in the days of glittering and drunken dreams like those senior officers in the Ming Dynasty. The senior officers of the Ming Dynasty actually don't really like this, but they also need to socialize, and without the support of civilian forces, they are like lonely ghosts, and in the end it is difficult to even have food and clothing.

As a result, the senior officers of the late Ming Dynasty, one by two, became the best communicators, better than the civilian officials. The reason why they are arrogant and vulgar is because on this basis, they have something that civilian officials do not have—military power!

Ten days later, Zhang Hongbin came to Tongzhou, and the original Zhizhou Yamen had been reorganized as his residence and office. Of course, according to the habits of the Ming Dynasty, Zhizhou can indeed live in the yamen, but there are few who really live in it, after all, most of the yamen are very old, and the houses behind them are even decayed, and they are completely at the level of dilapidated houses.

But the officials of the Ming Dynasty will not repair, after all, they will be promoted or transferred away for a period of time, who will spend money to repair the public house? Besides, the Ming Dynasty also has regulations, and if it is repaired, it will be repaired after the next term takes office, as long as it does not collapse, they will naturally not spend money on repairs.

The same was true of the Yamen in Tongzhou City, where most of the building structures were in decay, and Li Dingguo offered to completely repair them. In the process of repair, Zhang Hongbin's house was arranged to be somewhere else, and there happened to be a gentry surnamed Zhang who went to Xi'an Mansion as early as when Tongzhou was besieged, so it was convenient for Li Dingguo to buy this empty yard.

In fact, he also knew that this courtyard belonged to the young master's family at all, but the caravan of the Zhang family was still useful to Zhang Hongbin, so there was no need for the two sides to recognize each other. Since this is the case, then some operation is naturally necessary, so that no one can doubt the relationship between Salvation and the Zhang family.

Zhang Hongbin had never been to this home in Tongzhou City before, but according to Li Dingguo, a lot of furniture has been preserved, and a lot of sundries have been preserved. It is said that it should be cleaned out, but Li Dingguo took the idea, kept it all, and let Zhang Hongbin come and make a decision.

"Well done!" Zhang Hongbin patted Li Dingguo on the shoulder.

"This is what subordinates should do!" Li Dingguo was honored.

"Prepare well, we will have about half a year to breathe and develop...... Half a year later, give me the whole territory of Xi'an Mansion! Before Zhang Hongbin entered the house, he seemed to say something casually.

But Li Dingguo and the others heard it, and they were still enthusiastic.

Young master, I have finally accelerated the pace of the attack!
