Wang Chengen said again and again: "Zhang Biwu, you should be grateful to Princess Kunxing, Princess Kunxing also intends to save you!" If he hadn't said good things for you in front of the emperor, you wouldn't have been able to get out of this difficulty! You must thank the emperor and Princess Kunxing for their great kindness! ”

When Zhang Biwu heard this, he hurriedly responded: "Yes!" I will swear allegiance to the emperor to the death! Princess Kunxing's great kindness to me, I dare not forget! ”

Wang Chengen said again: "Zhang Biwu, you have to remember what you said!" Zhang Biwu then said: "Princess, I think when you first came, Gao Qiqian heard that he wanted to release me, did he want to send someone to kill me?" And then another person came to stop it, what is going on? ”

Wang Chengen glanced at the injuries on Zhang Biwu's body, and he knew that if Zhang Biwu could see the emperor, he would definitely let the emperor see his injuries! From this, it can be seen that what the edicts of Dongchang are doing, they are all tortured and confessed, and they are creating unjust prisons! This will make the emperor unhappy! In addition, Wang Chengen didn't want Zhang Biwu and Gao Qiqian to be like fire and water.

And even if Chongzhen saw it, so what? Dongchang will still go his own way and use torture to torture to make a move.

Wang Chengen laughed first and said, "Ha Lu Ha! Let me tell you, when I first came to deliver the decree, Gao Qiqian's subordinates were afraid that they would be disadvantageous after you came out, so they were anxious to harm you! But I didn't want to kill you! Fortunately, the emperor's wisdom had long expected that Gao Qiqian's subordinates would mess around, and ordered me in advance that I must protect you! That's why I hurriedly said to Gao Qiqian, don't hurt you! Otherwise, Gao Qiqian will also be blamed! That's why Gao Qiqian quickly sent someone to protect you! ”

What Wang Chengen said was not all true, because when he came to deliver the decree, he saw Gao Qiqian glancing at his subordinates, and he understood that this was to kill Zhang Biwu, so he added another one, if Zhang Biwu died, then the emperor would investigate, including Gao Qiqian's death!

Gao Qiqian didn't dare to kill Zhang Biwu, otherwise he planned to commit suicide in the name of Zhang Biwu, even if it was too late for the emperor's special grace to pardon him. Hearing that he was responsible, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent another person to stop it, which made Zhang Biwu die.

It's just that Wang Chengen doesn't want Zhang Biwu and Gao Qiqian to fight to the death, what he wants is that the ministers within the Ming Dynasty can sincerely unite with each other, so that the strength of the Ming Dynasty will not be consumed! Daming can't afford internal and external troubles! So he just spoke for Gao Qiqian and covered up the truth. What's more, it's all Chongzhen's meaning, so that Zhang Biwu can work for Chongzhen with all his heart.

Zhang Biwu was suspicious of what Wang Chengen said, he didn't think that Gao Qiqian would be so easy to say, but he thought that Wang Chengen also had his difficulties, he thought about the internal unity of the Ming Dynasty, he worked hard to manage all this, he was the most loyal person in Chongzhen, and it was not surprising.

So Zhang Biwu sighed and said, "Okay! Rest assured! Then I thank the emperor for ......"

Wang Chengen interrupted Zhang Biwu's words again and said, "No need to thank you! You can get out of here and go back to where you're guarding! Now that there is a famine everywhere in Henan, you have to take care of your place, and you must also be careful of thieves when the time comes, it is best to train an army that can fight well, so as to share the worries of the emperor against thieves! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Biwu hugged his fists and said that he understood, and he left with Huang Qi, now it is like a dragon taking off the shackles, why don't you go quickly? And he was also afraid that he would do more harm if he was high and diving.

Song Yi had already passed the Gonggong of Jin and Zhang Biwu was released, and he couldn't help but be very happy, he connected with Zhang Biwu, and Gonggong Jin was here at this time.

Father-in-law Jin had something to say to Zhang Biwu, this is not a reminder to Zhang Biwu: "Zhang Biwu, do you remember?" I told you before that you must not do anything to be sorry for the princess, and today you can not die because of the princess's great kindness! Don't forget! ”

Zhang Biwu bowed repeatedly, he said that he understood that Princess Kunxing had the grace of life to him, of course he was grateful to him, and if he had the opportunity, he would definitely repay Princess Kunxing well.

Zhang Biwu didn't know what to do, his relationship with Princess Kunxing was really uninterrupted, and it was still messy, and he and Princess Kunxing would have a lot of intertwining in the future.

After the last day, Zhang Biwu and a hundred people joined together, and they immediately left the Jingshi and went straight to Lingbao.

There is no doubt that as soon as Qin Huaiyu saw that Zhang Biwu was fine, she couldn't help but pounce excitedly and threw herself into Zhang Biwu's arms.

Zhang Biwu stroked Qin Huaiyu's hair and said, "Fool! I'm going to be fine! Peace of mind! ”

Gu Yanwu came over and said, "Lord, it's really good that you can return safely!" Zhang Biwu looked at Gu Yanwu and said, "Zhongqing, thank you!" In my absence, these places would not have been able to be defended without you! In the current situation, what do you think should be done? ”

Gu Yanwu replied: "Now there are many hungry people in various places, and even the south, which has always been ruled and consolidated, and is known for its wealth, has also had a big problem. On May 13, Wujiang and Gui'an in Su, Song, Hu and other prefectures poured heavy rain day and night, and the water suddenly burst out, surging in an instant, regardless of the embankment, and the houses toppled down. And the price of rice is soaring, fighting rice to three or four dollars of silver, the rich families are closed, the people eat grass and trees, and the dead are thrown to the pillow. Tyrannical gangsters are in groups, clamoring for food, neighbors are boycotting, and people in the countryside are closed. The so-called peaceful and prosperous era in Jiangnan has also become no longer peaceful! It's harder for us to buy food! Now I really can't help it! ”

Zhang Biwu sighed, he knew that the big households in the three counties of Ludao had been squeezed too much by him, and squeezing them further would only force them to be cornered. They can't be pushed anymore.

Moreover, the imperial court did not issue training salaries and military salaries to Zhang Biwu, and even Zhang Biwu and the officials and officials of the three counties were deducted!

Zhang Biwu said: "That's good! We kill thieves! Look where the bandits are powerful, go and destroy them! so as to obtain their money and food. When Li Zicheng didn't have the strength to attack the city, didn't he specifically attack Dazhai where the rich gathered to get money and food? Now we can use his method too! If there is no more here, what if we cross the border? Anyway, the local government can't control it! If they really want to take care of it, they have to take care of how to let the people have food, this is the reality! ”

Gu Yanwu nodded, now there is really no other way to think except for the same method as Li Zicheng.

Zhang Biwu is going to implement it immediately, he will send more people to reconnoitre, where there are bandits, he will immediately lead his troops to end the nest of these bandits, even if it is far away, crossing to other counties, or other prefectures, then don't care, what Zhang Biwu wants now is a lot of money and food.

And the other prefectures and counties also ignore it, they don't have the ability to suppress the thieves, and now that Zhang Biwu has come to help them suppress the thieves, they will also take away Zhang Biwu's credit, but they have to thank Zhang Biwu! Therefore, the prefectures and counties in various places let Zhang Biwu do it. Zhang Biwu doesn't need credit, the most important thing is money and food, which is the most important thing.

At this time, Zhang Biwu found out that in June and July, Li Zicheng took advantage of the main force of the Ming army to pursue Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, and led more than 1,000 people to set out from the Fangxian area of Hubei Province and enter the Xichuan and Neixiang areas of Henan by means of Pingli, Xunyang, and Shangzhou in Shaanxi.

That's a huge thing! Zhang Biwu felt that if he overstepped the level and reported to Chongzhen, he would definitely attract the hatred of Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, so he had to tell Li Xianfeng the news.

Zhang Biwu was deliberately training his soldiers, he wanted to coach the brave men with a song, he thought of Qin Jun! Right! It is the battle song of the Qin army thousands of years ago. This war song is said to have been born when Qin Zhan Xirong was trying to survive. This song can show Qin Feng's heroism, but it is the zee of his comrades!

Zhang Biwu found someone who was originally Yulinwei and asked them to teach people to sing this song without clothes, but he still wanted to change it, so that it was composed.

Zhang Biwu looked at Qin Feng. The ancient poem of no clothes, he then improved it: "How can it be said that there is no clothes? With the son, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son. The troubled times urge the dust to be collected, and go to the family and country together! How can you say that you have no clothes? With the son, repair my spear halberd, and work with the son. Sharpen Jin Ge and let the fire baptize! The horse's hooves are sick, and the flag is rolling! The smoke rises, the ambition is strong, and the martial arts are brave! How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Repair my armor and walk with my son. With a sharp sword and spear in hand, it swallows mountains and rivers with awe-inspiring anger! Stain the sky with the blood of the child, and write the dawn of heroes! Thousands of autumns look up to the soul of the hero, and all generations are at their mercy! ”

After Zhang Biwu finished writing, he handed it to Gu Yanwu in the hope that he would compose a song quickly, it must be generous and majestic, as if this could reflect his anger. Gu Yanwu nodded, and he began to create.

At this time, another news was found that there was an army in Song County, which was under the jurisdiction of Nanyang Fuqi, led by a person nicknamed Lao Dangdang. And there are two other bandits in Nanyang Mansion, whose military names are Yidougu and Clay Jar, and the strength of the two armies is also extraordinary.

Zhang Biwu knew that he had to exterminate this thief called Lao Dangdang, so as to obtain a lot of food and money, but this time he ran into a hard bone! Because Lao Dangdang and Yidougu and clay pots dominate Nanyang, and there are many hungry people in Nanyang, because most of the hungry people gather in Nanyang Mansion, so they rely on Huguang to get food.

At that time, there were quite a lot of people gathered in Nanyang, and the entire Nanyang was overcrowded, which was also conducive to Li Zicheng's development here.

When Zhang Biwu's Lian Yong arrived, a large group of people began to flee, and they shouted: "Oh no! The officers and soldiers are coming! Folks, run away! Be careful of the officers and soldiers who kill the good and take the risk! ”

No, a large crowd can run as fast as they can, especially women and women! Of course, these women who ran away deliberately made themselves ugly in order to escape the humiliation.
