Zhang Hongwu has become the hidden king of Pingyang, at least in Pingyang, he has a high right to speak.

Zhang Hongwen became the leader of the largest chamber of commerce alliance in Shaanxi, with seven chambers of commerce under his jurisdiction, including most of the businessmen in Shaanxi, as well as the power behind them.

Zhang Hongbin was the leader of the Salvation Army and the de facto occupier of Xi'an Province. This is not important, the most important thing is that at this stage, the imperial court does not have any ability to exterminate him, on the contrary, all the anti-thieves in Shaanxi have left, and the whole of Shaanxi is under his army. The king of Shaanxi is just around the corner!

The three brothers of the Zhang family are stepping onto the stage of history step by step in different ways, which has an indelible impact on this eventful autumn at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing is that they are not independent individuals, but clansmen gathered under the name of the Zhang family, and Zhang Hongbin is the next generation of family heirs of this family, and the two brothers Zhang Hongwen and Zhang Hongwu, who are clansmen, will have the power to cooperate with their half-brothers. The resources that the three of them have integrated are very terrifying, so terrible that anyone who understands this cannot afford to be enemies of the three of them.

It was more than a month before the end of Zhang Hongbin's alliance, and Zhang Hongwu began to go north to exterminate the rogues who had entered Shanxi, and at the same time further expand his territory. Zhang Hongwen still helped to deal with business affairs, and the most important thing was to help transport all kinds of materials that Zhang Hongbin needed, through various means, and even with the help of Zhang Hongwu, a steady stream of them were transported to Shaanxi.

At this moment, Xi'an Mansion, under the governance of the Salvation Army, especially under the continuous supply of materials, has been restored to the prosperity before the first year of Chongzhen. But Zhang Hongbin is not satisfied with this, because as a traverser, especially a traverser who has opened a hanging, if he can't make this place more prosperous, even several times more prosperous than the highest peak in history, he is embarrassed to say to others that he is a traverser.

The large army began to prepare for battle, but Zhang Hongbin felt that he was changing more and more to the status of a civilian official. This is not surprising, one is that he didn't have much targeted martial arts training before, not to mention the short training in the later stage, and it was intermittent because he had to deal with affairs. In the end, the territory was bigger, and the younger brother below didn't want to take risks by himself, and over time, Zhang Hongbin, who originally had some martial arts style, had become no different from a literati.

"The military academy is going to be on the agenda...... Is it time for the political commissar to hurry up and train? A commander who can't control the subordinate army will suffer a big loss! When Zhang Hongbin thought of this, he couldn't help muttering.

In ancient times, because of the personality charm of officers and other reasons, there was often a special existence of the descendant troops. The descendant unit is the officer's most loyal subordinate, in other words, even himself, who is the leader, may not be recognized in front of this army. It can be said that without the approval of this officer, such an army cannot even be mobilized.

Such an army is dangerous, and for any one of them, it is very dangerous. Now that Zhang Hongbin has slowly let go of the military, he plans to become a civilian official completely, and 'civilian officials don't care about the military, and military attaches don't care about political affairs' is his established principle, and even he can't violate it lightly. Under this premise, he must control the army under his command to the greatest extent and not let them lose control.

"Political commissars can be trained first, but if you want to let literati enter the military camp as political commissars, how many people do you think they will be willing, young master?" Zhu Cunyuan, as his personal secretary, will be present especially when it comes to the formulation of cross-era strategies.

She may not be a modern person, but she has all the knowledge of modern times, such as the meaning and value of political commissars. Let her be by her side, for Zhang Hongbin, it can play a role in checking and filling in the gaps.

Such a person, Zhang Hongbin has already determined, that is absolutely impossible to let go. As this girl reads more books and understands the subconscious knowledge in her brain more and more thoroughly, she has begun to develop in the direction of a scholar, and it is all cross-century knowledge. If such a person leaves his own control, or even throws himself into the enemy's command, it will not only be a heavy loss to himself, but will even cause serious obstacles to his future progress.

"As early as when I was in the Xishan Courtyard, I specially let a group of children learn literature and martial arts. Many of them are not ready to use today, but they are the best commissar seeds. Based on this, it should be no problem to let some literate soldiers in the barracks receive a certain amount of political training, and then serve cross-serve as political commissars. Zhang Hongbin put forward his own opinions.

"In this way, we can respond to emergencies, and take advantage of this gap to get the military academy out as much as possible." Zhu Cunyuan agrees.

"Speaking of which, in two days, I plan to propose to your family." Zhang Hongbin said suddenly.

"A flat wife, it must be a flat wife, if it's a concubine, I'll run away from home immediately!" Zhu Cunyuan replied as expected.

"Peace of mind, I'll give you a place as a flat wife!" Zhang Hongbin laughed and patted her buttocks.

"In this way, the little girl will be handed over to the Xianggong in this life, and I hope that the Xianggong will take pity on her." Zhu Cunyuan made a little woman posture.

Seriously, this girl is already very well developed, and she is already at a completely edible level. However, since he is ready to propose, Zhang Hongbin is not in a hurry.

"Do you want to take a concubine again?" Old Man Zhang shouted in surprise.

At this moment, the Zhang family, in fact, is also the old man Zhang and the Zhang Huang family, and they are already living with Zhang Hongbin. After deciding to marry Zhu Cunyuan, Zhang Hongbin went to the back hall to find Mr. Zhang and said what he meant.

"It's not a concubine, it's a wife, a wife! You also know the other party, it is Zhu Cunyuan. Zhang Hongbin nodded and said.

"Yo, I'm still the county lord of Daming!" Zhang Huang doesn't care so much, her son marrying a daughter-in-law is what she is most happy about, especially since the other party is still a county lord.

"I said San'er, have you forgotten jì, we told you a daughter-in-law?" Old Man Zhang didn't answer directly, just asked.

"Speaking of which, I really forgot about it......" Zhang Hongbin smiled bitterly.

As early as the time of the family meeting, Mr. Zhang told him that he had found a woman surnamed Xu to be his daughter-in-law. This woman surnamed Xu is also from a gentry family, and there are also clansmen who have been officials in her family, and her family background is also prominent. Because it was the parents who looked for him, Zhang Hongbin, as a son, actually has nothing to object to, at most he can only hope that the other party will not be incompatible with his personality.

As for appearance, Zhang Hongbin still trusts the aesthetics of Mr. Zhang and Zhang Huang, at least Chunxiang is a rare beauty in the local area.

"Your daughter-in-law's surname is Xu, and her single name is Hui. Her name was given by his grandfather, you may have heard her grandfather's name, her grandfather's surname was Xu Guangqi. "Old man Zhang is directly amazing.

Well, I actually dug up the granddaughter of Xu Gelao, who was relegated to Shandong.

Also, Xu Guangqi is not a corrupt official in the real sense, and his assets are still very limited. This time he was relegated to Shandong, where he was not familiar with life, whether he had much money, and there were other forces deliberately against him, I was afraid that this day would be really uncomfortable. It's just that what Zhang Hongbin didn't expect was that the Zhang Chamber of Commerce just funded their family, and also kidnapped other people's granddaughters.

"You kid likes to study strange skills, don't think I don't know. I haven't read many serious books, and I focus on firecrackers and artillery, or all kinds of machinery or something. And if you want to talk about this knowledge, the contemporary is Xu Ge Lao is the most proficient. The old man has secretly asked Xu Hui to come to watch the ceremony together with his father, and it is best to come over with his grandfather to watch the ceremony, so that the marriage can be completed and then go back. Of course, I can't say if they can go back then......" Old Man Zhang said slyly.

Well, sure enough, the upper beam of Mr. Zhang is not correct, and his lower beam will be crooked. Look, that's exactly the tone of a bandit!

"Speaking of which, your father sent someone to Shandong three days ago, and he will probably reply in a few days. Who will come at that time, and see how they are arranged. Even if Xu Ge doesn't come to the old age, you don't have to worry, each of his three sons has inherited his father's knowledge, which is a little worse but also useful! Zhang Huang said another surprising thing on the side.

This is the letter? Anyway, have you two elders considered your own feelings as a groom official?!

Time passed, and after ten days, the army began to assemble and prepare for the expedition.

At the same time, the Xu family replied that Xu Hui's father, two uncles and grandfather Xu Guangqi would come to Shaanxi on the same day, but hoped that the Zhang family would answer one or two. After all, today's Xi'an Mansion belongs to the enemy-occupied area, and if there is no response from the Zhang family, I am afraid that there will be any danger.

Mr. Zhang naturally didn't mind this, and even called Zhang Hongwen and asked him to arrange it.

As for Zhang Hongbin, he was dealing with the formation of the military academy, and at the same time he was anxious, waiting for the arrival of his wife.
