…………………………………………
The people of the three counties have a lot of discussions about the new Zhang Biwu garrison, and everything is beyond their expectations!
Zhang Biwu had already arrived at Lingbao and summoned the three counties and the heroic gentry of the three counties.
The magistrates of the three places knelt on the ground, and they didn't even dare ......to raise their heads to look at Zhang Biwu, because they had also heard about Zhang Biwu's heroic deeds, and they really didn't know what kind of reprimand this new garrison would have.
"Mighty!" The soldiers roared so loudly that the whole temple felt like it was about to collapse. "Bang, bang" the sound of the weapon hitting the ground.
Zhang Biwu stretched out his hand and said, "Stop!" The order was forbidden, and the soldiers immediately stopped. Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "These soldiers of mine are all heroes on the battlefield!" At the beginning of this year, I led 700 brothers to bravely enter the city of Jinan, where more than 50,000 Tartars were strong, and killed Yue Tuo, relying on them! It's a pity that these people are the only ones left! They are all warriors! ”
Saying this, the three magistrates also have Jiao, Peng, Xu, He, Geng and other big clans, they all couldn't help but peek at Zhang Biwu's soldiers, and when they saw it, they were all startled, what a majestic soldier! Especially when you come into contact with their sword-like gaze, it's like your whole heart has been pierced! Although there are only 200 people, they should not be underestimated!
Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "Everyone, the emperor sent me here because there are many thieves in Henan, and the thieves of Qin land still enter Henan from time to time to harass them. Later, I heard that the thieves were hiding in the Lu family, Ruxiang, and Lingbao. Therefore, the emperor wants me to come to the territory to calm the people, and not let the thieves cause trouble in the three places! Do you hear me? ”
Sanzhi County hurriedly nodded yes, the three county guards appointed by the emperor himself, how could they not listen! Moreover, the military and political power of Zhilu Dao had to be managed by Zhang Biwu.
Zhang Biwu spoke up: "The emperor also said that if there is a corrupt person, he will be killed!" "The three magistrates are all trembling, they are really afraid that Zhang Biwu will do something drastic.
Zhang Biwu knew that he couldn't kill all three magistrates at once, otherwise, Chongzhen would settle accounts with him, he had to go to the chapter first, expedient, Lingbao Zhixian had to use it to open the knife, and the other two magistrates were not much better than Lingbao Zhixian, but they could only let them go first.
Zhang Biwu made people show the evidence of Lingbao Zhixian's crimes, and shouted: "You are guilty!" "Lingbao Zhixian is begging for mercy like a chicken pecking rice. Zhang Biwu didn't say anything, only signaled, a big man came over, pulled out his saber, and with a "bang", the head of Lingbao Zhixian was cut off.
Zhang Biwu said: "The embezzler is dead!" This is the responsibility entrusted to me by the emperor! I have to kill corrupt officials who are not loyal to their duties! Otherwise, the emperor will cut off my head the next day! ”
Lingbao Zhixian fell all of a sudden, which was a big deterrent to the two magistrates, and it was also a shock to the other clans, they never thought that Zhang Biwu would not give any face to the new people. They couldn't help but think that he dared to brave more than 50,000 fierce Tartar soldiers with only 700 people, and now he stood up as soon as he came and beheaded a magistrate! It is still the largest Lingbao Zhi County! They're all scared!
From this, they came to a conclusion that Zhang Biwu is a ruthless character, and if Zhang Biwu is ruthless, they will die! Don't offend him!
Zhang Biwu asked people to take out the heads of Lingbao Zhixian to show the public, as if this, he could establish prestige among the people, and the people must be applauding, and he wants to win the hearts of the people.
Zhang Biwu also deliberately took out the emperor's holy decree, because the emperor gave Zhang Biwu the right to mobilize He Renlong and Tongguan's soldiers and horses. When these big clans saw it, they couldn't help but be shocked again, and they even thought that Zhang Biwu was Chongzhen's favorite general, although he was just a small guerrilla general, but he could mobilize a deputy general soldier, which was amazing! In the future, Zhang Biwu's future is bright!
They were even more uproaring, and they were even more convinced of Zhang Biwu, they didn't dare to come out, and they all knelt on the ground.
Zhang Biwu deliberately said loudly again: "The emperor heard that some time ago, the banner of a thief appeared near Tongguan, and even Lingbao has traces of a thief, if you find a thief and conceal it and don't report it, this is a capital crime!" The thief is even more confiscated from the whole clan! ”
The gentry and officials of the big clan have all stated that as long as they see the king's people, they will definitely report it, and they will never let go of the king's people.
Zhang Biwu said this is also for show, really let him kill Li Zicheng, he is not sure, if he succeeds, the credit will be great, if he does not succeed, he will die! It would be great if he could be with Li Zicheng's well water and not violate the river water.
There is just one point, Zhang Biwu, who loves history, used to read history, and Li Zicheng at this time should be in Shangluo Mountain, and the army here is not led by Li Zicheng, it may be another rebel army!
Right! Li Zicheng was ambushed in Tongguan, he only had eighteen horsemen to escape, and even his wife and children were separated, so this army should be Li Zicheng's wife Gao Guiying.
It seems that Zhang Biwu is relaxed, although it is said that he is a Ming general who should help Da Ming and eliminate Li Zicheng, but he can't eliminate Li Zicheng with his strength, even if he kills Gao Guiying, Li Zicheng is not dead, it will not help the progress of history at all, maybe he will not be able to survive in the wheel of history!
Of course, Zhang Biwu wouldn't tell anyone about this, so he had to send someone to find out where Gao Guiying's army was.
At the same time, Zhang Biwu also has to know where the biggest thief in the three counties is, he must exterminate it, because the thief constantly asks for money and food from the big clan, and from time to time he breaks through the cottage, if he can eliminate this thief, he can also win to the court, and he can also make the big clan, and the people of the three places can be happy and convinced of Zhang Biwu, and they can win their hearts.
Zhang Biwu deliberately set his eyes on Xu Maoting when he asked a question, Xu Maoting understood, he stood up and said, "Your Excellency! Our biggest thief here is Xiong Batian of Kunshan! He has more than 2,000 horses, and he is very strong! ”
Zhang Biwu frowned and said, "Xiong Batian, this is his name?" Xu Maoting said: "No! Xiong Batian is his nickname! As for his real name, no one knows! People just call him Xiong Batian! He is indeed the dominant party! ”
"Oh! So that's it! Zhang Biwu nodded in understanding and said, "I don't know what his situation is?" "Actually, Zhang Biwu has already investigated, Xiong Batian can be called an overlord in the Lu family, Lingbao and other places, but his people and horses are all rabble, so it is not worth mentioning at all.
Xu Maoting replied: "He is very powerful!" There have been two times when the officers and soldiers have attacked and suppressed, but they have not succeeded! Now no one dares to offend him! ”
Zhang Biwu was silent, he had to suppress this bandit in order to show his strength, but the terrain of Kunshan was dangerous, and there were countless battles in Kunshan since ancient times. There are the mountains of Pankun, Shikun and Qiankun, and the main peak is Qinggang Peak. You have to have someone who knows the terrain well to lead the way! OK! The people of Qinjia Village!
Zhang Biwu couldn't help laughing, he seemed to be full of confidence, even if he only had more than 200 people, he was not afraid of the thieves in the 2,000 bear den.
Xu Mao couldn't believe it, Zhang Biwu really wanted to attack Xiong Batian! And just with his 259 people as the team, and then Zhang Biwu, Lin Xiangfeng, Huang Qi, and Zhang Pan attacked Xiong Batian, who had more than 2,000 people, with a total of only 263 people!
How is this possible to win? Xiong Batian occupies the mountain and the danger, not to mention that he defends the danger, even in the field, Xiong Batian, who is ten times larger than Zhang Biwu, can kill Zhang Biwu! With one's eyes shut! Is Zhang Biwu stupid? Is this the great hero praised by the whole country? Doesn't he have a brain?
This is what the big clans are thinking, they are all laughing at Zhang Biwu for being a fool, a fool, and actually a Xiong Batian who dares to challenge the overlord of one side. They unanimously agreed that Zhang Biwu would definitely die if he went.
Zhang Biwu didn't answer, he just smiled, the information he got was that Xiong Batian's more than 2,000 bandits were all rabble, and there were many people who didn't want to be bandits, they were forced to do so out of desperation, and even their weapons were in disrepair. Xiong Batian's subordinates don't say that they neglect training, and they don't even train.
Due to the strong strength of the officers and troops in this area, there are very few bandits, and Xiong Ba's genius can sit big and dominate one side.
A proud man, the proud army he leads belongs to the type of defeat. It can be said that Xiong Batian seems to be powerful, but in fact he is a vulnerable paper tiger!
Zhang Biwu just thought of this, as long as he defeated Xiong Batian, then he would be able to eliminate harm for the people, and he could also collect the hearts of the people of the three counties, and use power to collect them, and at the same time he also had a lot of money and food, if he came to help the people, Zhang Biwu would be able to win the hearts of the people!
Zhang Biwu thought of this, he knew that this move of Lu Dao to attack Xiong Batian, no matter how dangerous or difficult it was, he had to go! This is the so-called not entering the tiger's den to get the tiger?
In the laughter of the big clans, as well as the schadenfrequencing ridicule of the so-called people who want to help Zhang Biwu and others collect the corpses, Zhang Biwu is ready to complete a miracle!
What Zhang Biwu didn't expect was that the news of his arrival had already been discovered by Li Zicheng's general Liu Fangliang, and Liu Fangliang hurriedly went to know Gao Guiying.
At this time, Gao Guiying was stationed in the Bears Ears Mountain Range, and in the past, in order to let the Ming army want to attack Li Zicheng in Shangluo Mountain, they pretended to attack Tongguan, so that the Ming army gave up sweeping Shangluo Mountain and searched for the main force in the vicinity of Tongguan.
At that time, Gao Guiying and the others had already known that Zhang Biwu had entered Lingbao, and they also knew that Zhang Biwu was ordered by the emperor to search for King Chuang's army, so as to eliminate King Chuang.
It's just that Zhang Biwu only has more than 200 people, which is not helpful at all, and even to protect the territory and the people, this force is overstretched, and he still destroys King Chuang? Joke! Let He Renlong obey the order, but He Maniac will not obey a guerrilla general who is lower in rank than him. For a while, Gao Guiying couldn't guess what Zhang Biwu was thinking......
