tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, and Zhang Hongbin often let Chunxiang sleep in the next few days.

The two of them were entangled in death, but they were also very happy. Chunxiang, who was a first-time wife, combed up the woman's after a simple etiquette and married into the Zhang family as a concubine. For the two of them to achieve positive results, Zhang Huang and Old Man Zhang are also sincerely happy.

Sun Tingfang was a little disappointed about this, his appearance was better than Chunxiang, but Zhang Hongbin just ignored her, but took the first step to eat Chunxiang, which was smaller than himself. This couldn't help but make her wonder if Zhang Hongbin preferred younger ones, if so, she would have no advantage.

After all, her age is there, and she is actually older than Zhang Hongbin.

Compared with Sun Tingfang, Zhu Cunyuan is still heartless and ready to deal with government affairs, Liu Ru protested to some extent, but Zhang Hongbin's attitude is very firm. If Liu Ru wants to enter the Zhang family as a concubine, she must be after the age of sixteen, that is, at least three years later. However, during this time, he often had some intimate things with Liu Ru when there was no one in the study, but he didn't cross the line to the last step.

Perhaps because he felt Zhang Hongbin's affection for him, Liu Ru didn't care too much about it. Perhaps such a sneaky relationship made her feel more stimulated. After all, he has entered Guiyun Academy, cultivated for a period of time as a Qing Qi person, and also mixed with those Jianghuai singers for a period of time, Liu Ruye's thinking is slightly different from that of ordinary women.

The rebels have begun to leave Shaanxi, and the blockade of the Ming Dynasty is like a void for them who are going out in one go. Seeing this group of scourges go to other places, Zhang Hongbin sincerely mourned for the local people. However, his current strength is not great, so naturally he can't control the people in those places, so he can only hope that this good man can really live a long life.

Without the rebel army in Shaanxi, the surviving prefectures and counties were relieved and began to recover slowly. However, Zhang Hongbin will not let them rest, and further strategies for Shaanxi have begun to be intensively prepared, and within three months at most, a large-scale strategy will be carried out in five places: Yan'an Mansion, Pingliang Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion and Hanzhong Mansion, for at least half a year.

During this time, preparations for the second expedition begin and will take place at the beginning of spring the next day, when the local raiders will reach the end of the period, just enough for the elected officials to fill the vacancies in the official side. Before this, the internal guards had already gone out to release the news of next year's scientific expedition.

At the same time, on the Shanxi side, Zhang Hongwu had already preliminarily controlled Pingyang Mansion, an area bordering Shanxi. His current identity is the general of the new army of Sanpin, responsible for the security work of the entire Pingyang Mansion, and beware of any thieves, especially the Salvation Army, from crossing the border into Shanxi.

At this moment, Zhang Hongwu has 50,000 elites under his command, scattered around the country for guard. If necessary, he could even gather another 30,000 men to meet the occasional need. No one is doing anything to deduct his money and food now, and everyone can see that now Zhang Hongwu is listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, and it is okay for him to allocate and exterminate the bandits, and it is okay to give him some transfer fees, but it is impossible for him to obediently grovel to the civil officials like other civil officials.

After a county magistrate was beaten half to death, he once wanted to join him, but in fact, the people above also helped. But when he arrived at the prefect, he was pressed, according to the prefect's meaning, if Zhang Hongwu was provoked, what should he do if he rebelled? The elite of 50,000 people, and now there is no second army in the entire Pingyang Mansion, who is blind to provoke him? Besides, this place is adjacent to the territory of the Salvation Army, if Zhang Hongwu is a rare general who dares to fight, and there are countless elite soldiers under his command, who can guarantee the safety of Pingyang Mansion except him?

Anyway, although Zhang Hongwu is unreasonable now, he still abides by the various regulations of the Ming soldiers. also helped Daming to exterminate bandits and defend one side. The most important thing is that he just asks about politics, and his core interests do not conflict with them, so if he is smart as a prefect, unless he is forced into a corner, he does not intend to oppose Zhang Hongwu, it is purely uncomfortable with himself.

As a result, the impeachment document of the county order was not completed, but the county seat where the county order was located suddenly attacked a gang of thieves one day, burned, killed, and plundered, and as a result, all their families were killed, leaving no one alive. Afterwards, Zhang Hongwu came slowly, the thieves had already left, and a month later he chased and killed other state capitals, and finally killed all the 'thieves', and brought the head back.

But no matter what, in fact, smart people can see that this qiē was actually arranged by him.

Does this guy still have a royal law? Many people are secretly planning in their hearts, because others impeached him, and as a result, they arranged a bandit to slaughter all the other people's families. If you want to be ruthless, I'm afraid that there are few people in this world who can compare to him.

And the person who confirmed that this matter was directly related to Zhang Hongwu also made up his mind not to be casually disobedient, at least before his core interests were infringed, not to oppose Zhang Hongwu, and even to do something for him appropriately. Zhang Hongwu also used this means to gain a firm foothold in Pingyang Prefecture, and at the same time initially controlled the military and political affairs here.

Military, at present, he alone has the final say in the entire Pingyang Mansion, and the orders of those officials can't even mobilize a single soldier under his command.

Political affairs, at present, have initially made these officials afraid, and the rest need to infiltrate step by step, change step by step, use the mentality and means of boiling frogs in warm water, and eat away at these old forces step by step, and finally make himself the real king of Shanxi.

This was set up by Zhang Hongbin for his second brother from the very beginning, and he also specially sent someone to deal with political and strategic issues for him. After all, this second brother has good execution ability, but his ability to handle things is worrying. After all, from the very beginning, he was a professional martial arts idiot, not a professional politician.

Zhang Hongbin didn't plan to let him come into contact with so many politicians, because that would make a soldier no longer pure. What Zhang Hongbin needs is a sharp blade, not a second goods who will doubt his orders and even directly question them. Advance 10,000 steps and say, if he wins the treasure one day, the Zhang family is the royal family, and Zhang Hongwu also has a certain royal inheritance, after all, there is a Song Dynasty, it is often passed from brother to brother, and brother to brother's son, which leaves a bad example for future generations.

"Second Young Master, this is the material that has been replenished to you this month. Recently, in a short period of time, Shaanxi's anti-king has entered all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and there are at least two ways to kill Shanxi here, so there is no large force, and it will not be too difficult to deal with it. The materials this time are enough to launch two relatively large battles, this is considering that in the near future, Second Young Master, I am afraid that you will also receive an order to clean up the bandits in Shanxi. When the time comes, you'll be able to use these supplies. "Ling He, who has changed his name back to He Ling, escorted the supplies to Zhang Hongwu's camp as Zhang Hongbin's envoy.

"How is your brother doing?" Zhang Hongwu may not be the elder brother of Zhang Hongbin's mother, but he dotes on his younger brother more than Zhang Hongwen.

Not to mention, now this younger brother is still the alternate leader of the Zhang family, as soon as the old man retires, he will be on the throne. As a clansman or an elder brother who spoils his younger brother, Zhang Hongwu has no reason not to care and obey Zhang Hongbin.

"The third young master can eat and drink, and he also took a concubine, which is his former maid Chunxiang." He Ling said eloquently.

"Oh, do you know how to take a concubine?" Zhang Hongwu immediately became interested.

"I heard that Chunxiang couldn't wait and took the initiative to seduce, but the third young master also felt that he had treated her badly, so he also took advantage of the situation to accept her as a concubine." He Ling, as a confidant, knows some gossip.

"In the future, if you casually inquire into my third brother's privacy like this, be careful that I twist your head!" Zhang Hongwu didn't mean to be happy at all, but pointed at He Ling's nose and shouted in a grumpy manner.

"Little trepidation...... I don't dare to do it again! Only then did He Ling realize how much Zhang Hongwu doted on Zhang Hongbin.

is so doted that when others say that their brother gossips, they have to speak ill of each other, if he is not Zhang Hongbin's subordinate, maybe he will meet each other.

has such an elder brother, and he is also the elder brother of a warlord who occupies Pingyang Mansion, Zhang Hongbin will be the king and hegemon in the future, but I am afraid that it will not be difficult. Thinking of this, He Ling couldn't help but sigh at the old man's vision, this Zhang Hongbin really has a lot of potential.

As a man from the dragon, he has now become the minister of finance, in charge of the financial affairs of the Salvation Army, and if it weren't for the need for an old man to escort the supplies this time, and Li Dingguo, who had been in charge of this before, would be ready to go on an expedition, I am afraid that he may not be able to make such a trip. But if it weren't for that, I'm afraid he would see a lot less.

didn't stay too long, He Ling returned to Shaanxi with his men and horses after a simple arrangement.

Not long after, Zhang Hongwu really received an order from above, asking him to go to Taiyuan Mansion to suppress bandits, which is now severely damaged by a piece of firewood, and Zhang Hongwu needs to go to support. As for the local army, it is good to hold the city, and it is naturally impossible to think about it when you go out to fight.

"It's just right, if you have the opportunity, you can infiltrate Taiyuan Mansion by the way!" Zhang Hongwu smiled slightly, then stood up and walked to the school grounds.
