Zhang Di's injury recovered quickly and he was able to walk a few steps on the ground.

He looked at the matchmaker in front of him and couldn't help laughing: "The Li family said that I was a thief before, but now how can I let you come to the matchmaker to get married?" ”

"Hey, the general made a mistake!"

The matchmaker pretended to be shocked, and then said nonsense: "This Li family has always admired the general's loyalty. He also praised people when he met him, saying that although General Zhang was coerced by the barbarians, he always cherished the Han family, and he was really a model for the martial artists in the world. The fact that the daughter of the Li family can remarry the general is a blessing that has been cultivated for several generations. ”

"Go back, let me think about it again." Zhang Di was noncommittal.

The matchmaker still wanted to persuade again, but Zhang Di asked someone to ask her to go out.

There are four big Kou in "Water Margin", Shandong Song Jiang, Huaixi Wang Qing, Hebei Tianhu, and Jiangnan La.

It is generally believed that the historical prototype of Tianhu in Hebei is Zhang Di who gathered hundreds of thousands of people to rebel!

There were many uprisings in the Huizong Dynasty, but if they could make such a big fuss, even if Zhu Ming's father and son were counted, Zhang Di could already rank in the top five.

How can such a person be a fool?

Calling his cousin Zhang Hao, Zhang Di asked, "Can the Li family carry it this time?" ”

Zhang Hao replied: "According to the meaning of the county order, the prince didn't think about which clan to exterminate. It is nothing more than a lesson to the Li family, spit out the property they have seized in the past few years, and then punish some Li clan people who have done evil. It is also necessary to take stock of the Li family's acres of land, confiscate the land for which there is no land deed, and honestly pay taxes per mu in the future. ”

Zhang Di nodded and said, "That's easy." ”

"Brother really wants to marry that Li girl?" Zhang Hao really couldn't figure it out, "It's just a widow who has given birth, her husband's family and her mother's family are still being thoroughly investigated by the government, why should my brother wade into that troubled water?" There are so many handsome women that I asked the matchmaker to find another one for my brother. ”

Zhang Di said with a smile: "I have written to the prince to ask him to marry the daughter of the Li family, and the more this time, the more I want to marry her, so that I can show that I value love and righteousness, and I promise a thousand gold." The troubled waters of the Li family, I won't wade in, and after I got married, I asked to be transferred to Guangxin to kill the gold thief, saying that I would never have anything to do with the Li family again! ”

"Is that what reputation matters?" Zhang Hao asked.

Zhang Di explained: "You and I are both born as thieves, and we are still giants, killing and looting countless people. In the future, if something goes wrong, someone will take the opportunity to take revenge, and it is especially important to accumulate a good reputation. The crown prince is the prince of a country, and he is willing to reuse the warriors, one must be good at war, and the other must be loyal. In the future, we will fight to the death and accumulate the name of loyalty, why can't we crown our wives and sons in the new dynasty? ”

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "It's still my brother who has a long-term view." ”

Zhang Di asked again: "How did the dismissed brothers arrange?" ”

Zhang Hao replied: "I have already asked, and if you are willing to stay, you will settle down and divide the fields in the counties of Zhending Prefecture." The Zhending Jia clan moved south, leaving tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, which were divided and occupied by those puppet officials, and now they all have to be spit out and give the acres of land to soldiers, homeless people and tenants. If you want to go back to your hometown to find your relatives, you can also go back, but you will definitely be able to divide the land, and there are not many people who are making trouble to return to your hometown. ”

"The prince is really benevolent and righteous," Zhang Di said with emotion, "If the land is so divided, the Hebei Han army will be able to return to their hearts, and they will be willing to work for the prince in the future." One day, when the imperial court orders the recruitment of village soldiers, even the dismissed soldiers, they will also enthusiastically join the army to serve the country. ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Zhang Hao said with a smile, "Even the captured Han army only imprisons the trial generals, and all the ordinary soldiers are released." The prince ordered these captives to return to their hometowns as soon as possible, and the county orders from all over the country to settle and divide the fields, so as not to delay next year's spring ploughing. The captives of all the tribes were grateful to Dade and bowed down to the prince as a bodhisattva, saying that if there was a war in the coming year, they would be willing to serve the prince as a soldier. ”

The Hebei Han army, which was captured by the Ming army, was able to return to his hometown and divide the land, which many people opposed.

However, Zhu Ming insisted on his own opinion, and only slightly reduced the number of acres of land that could be divided among the captives, which could be regarded as giving the exhortators some face.

Because most of the soldiers of the Han Dynasty in Hebei were forcibly recruited by the Jin.

Now that the population of Hebei has plummeted, these young people are very important, so that they can have more food and have more children.

Hebei now has no shortage of arable land, only population, grain and grass.

What's more, this move can capture the hearts of captives. After the land was divided, the young men of Hebei were convinced of the prince, even if the battle against Jin failed one day, Zhu Ming gave an order in Hebei, and countless young men would come to join the army and kill the enemy.

……

After reading Zhang Di's letter, Zhu Ming immediately smiled and said: "This old thief is a bit interesting, and he is still playing with me." ordered Yue Fei to lead his troops to move to Tang County, and when the snow melted in spring, Zhang Di led his troops to fall under Yue Fei's command. ”

Zhang Di's letter has two meanings, one is to keep his promise to marry Li's daughter, and the other is to ask to lead troops to the border to defend against the enemy.

For Ju Ming, these are small things.

Zhu Ming asked, "How was Kong Yanzhou's trial?" ”

Fu Zhirou replied: "After this person was recruited by the puppet dynasty, he still plundered his nature. Moreover, he once led his troops to slaughter the village, claiming that the good people he killed were all Yue Fei's soldiers, so as to make meritorious contributions in the puppet dynasty and seek rewards. ”

Zhu Ming said: "There is no need to continue the trial. Kong Yanzhou and his subordinates, 100 people beheaded all the above. Officers above the rank of chief were escorted to Cizhou for mining, and the rest were scattered and resettled in various counties in Hebei. ”

"Yes!" Fu Zhirou began to write official documents.

Zhu Ming asked again: "Where did Geng Nanzhong go, did he really not take refuge in the puppet dynasty?" ”

Fu Zhirou said: "The officials of the puppet dynasty all said that they had never seen Geng Nanzhong. This person escaped from Tokyo, perhaps killed by the rebels on the way, or may have hid somewhere incognito. ”

"Forget it, you don't have to deliberately look for it," Zhu Ming said, "If he wants to hide and be a citizen of the new dynasty, let him live in peace." ”

Heavy snow is beginning to clear.

More than 70 captured officers, including Kong Yanzhou, were convicted and beheaded after the trial.

Most of them are because of the killing of good and meritorious, wantonly slaughtering the people in the puppet dynasty!

Prince Zhu's meaning is obvious, he defected to the puppet dynasty to serve the Jin people, and he could shirk it because he was helpless. But if you slaughter the people and take the risk of receiving rewards, it will not be persecuted by the puppet emperor and the Jin, right?

Outside the city, one after another charges were read out, and before the execution began, the people were already angry and scolded.

Kong Yanzhou was already paralyzed with fright, and he didn't know if it was because of the cold or because of extreme fear, kneeling in the snow and swinging vigorously.

"Well killed!"

With the cheers of the people, a head fell to the ground.

Kong Yanzhou didn't dare to turn his head to look, closed his eyes and just wanted to end it early.

But his reputation is the most stinky, deliberately arranged in the last, and everyone else was cut before it was his turn.

Life is like a year, and every minute is torment.

Finally, Kong Yanzhou heard the footsteps behind him, he turned his head sideways and smiled, his smile was stiff as if crying: "Please...... Please give a good grandfather. ”

"Kneel down!"

The blade cut through the air, Kong Yanzhou felt the world spinning, and his head flew up and fell, ending his life of sin.

The bodies of these people were dragged to mass graves and buried, but their heads were to be hung on the city's top for public display.

The representatives of the great clans of Zhending Prefecture were invited to come and watch.

The representatives of the great clans pointed to their heads and scolded the traitors, and sang the praises of the prince for eliminating harm for the people.

When they returned home, they were so frightened that they took out the deeds of all the properties, and the properties without certificates were confiscated by the government. And the property divided from the Jia family, even if there is a deed in hand, it must be handed over in full.

Who dares to hide it privately, wait to be investigated!

They've gotten the word that they're starting to kill people in the city.

The first six people to be beheaded were Dong and his lackeys, involved in a murder case four years ago.

Prince Zhu doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving Hebei, and he still sits in Zhending Mansion in person in the cold winter, and he is determined to clean up the big clans in Hebei.

Hebei was slaughtered, but Kaifeng was cheering and boiling.

Returning to more than 20 days ago, the hand-delivered soldiers crossed the Yellow River from Chenqiao Town, and shouted at the pier with Lubu before entering the city.

"Master Wang's victory!"

"The crown prince personally led the troops and horses and fought with the marshal of the Jin State in the manuscript city. The prince beheaded more than 10,000 thieves and captured 20,000 prisoners, and the marshal of the Jin Kingdom fled in embarrassment! ”

"Wang Shi has recovered the entire territory of the two roads of the Song River and Hebei!"

Whether it was a peddler's pawn or a dignitary, they all shouted in celebration when they heard Lubu's victory.

Li Gang was transferred back to Tokyo to report on his work, and next year he will take up the post of political participation in Hebei.

He didn't know his new position, and he had just entered Beijing at this time, living in the house of his father-in-law, Zhang Gen.

"What's being shouted out there?" Li Gang walked out of the study.

Fan Jun, who also lived in Zhang Gen's house and devoted himself to studying, was studying calculus seriously and turned a deaf ear to the noise outside.

A servant ran over and shouted happily: "Great joy, the prince has recovered the whole territory of Hebei and Hebei!" ”

Li Gang stood stunned on the spot, as if recalling the unbearable past.

After a long time, Li Gang wiped his tears with his sleeves crossed, and then laughed loudly: "Okay, it's a great event." The prince's soldiers are invincible in the world, how can a gold thief resist it? ”

Fan Jun finally put down the bamboo pen, walked to Li Gang's side and said: "Two days ago, Shanxi also said that it was a great victory, but unfortunately it has not recovered its homeland. With the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi may be able to be recovered next year, and the recovery of the sixteen states of Youyun is just around the corner. ”

Although Li Gang did not understand military affairs, he was thrown to the local area for two years of training, but he had a better understanding of civil affairs: "There will be no more big battles next year, and the northern and southern provinces have experienced several years of war, and they have been conscripted and brutalized by the traitorous ministers of the late Song Dynasty for more than 20 years. The people's strength has long been exhausted, and this year all the grain has been pumped out for the war, and even the amount of tea money and salt has been increased for two years. ”

Fan Jun also understood: "If there is another war next year, I am afraid that it will damage the vitality of the national dynasty." ”

Li Gang stepped out of the corridor, looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "I can see that Wang Shi has recovered his homeland, and he has no regrets in this life." ”

Fan Jun said: "The ambition of the prince, is it more than that? I'm afraid that after the recovery of Youyun, the Jin Kingdom and the Western Xia will also perish, and perhaps we can see the Western Regions as the Han land again. ”

"Hahahaha!"

Li Gang laughed heartily: "Let's go to the city to drink, it will be very lively today." ”

Fan Jun went back to the guest room and put on his coat, and followed Li Gang out.

As for Zhang Gen's sons, except for those who have become officials, they have all been thrown back to their hometowns to study.

Li and Fan came to the street, and sure enough, they found that it was very lively, and many restaurants, restaurants, and tea gardens were full.

In some Goolan tile cities, the artists changed into festive costumes and temporarily changed the program to perform content related to the victory.

The Goryeo envoys, the monks Myocheong and Jeong Zhichang, arrived in Tokyo in late autumn and stayed in the city until they left, just waiting for news from the front.

Zheng Zhichang looked at the people celebrating on the street, and said happily: "How can the Jurchen barbarians win China?" After the snow melted, he returned to Goryeo, and asked for the Northern Expedition, which was a shame of defeat that year! ”

"You can take the opportunity to seize all the land south of the Yalu River!" Monk Miaoqing began to dream.

At this time, only the westernmost part of the territory of Goryeo reached the Yalu River, and even Hamheung belonged to the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

The area around Changjin Lake is the border between Jin and Goryeo.
