Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

First went to Fancheng, checked the seal and closed defense at the city gate, the guards at the gate did not dare to be negligent, bent down to accompany him with a smile and said: "The news that General Zhenglu is coming has spread all over the area of ​​Xiangfan, unexpectedly the last general will wait here .”

Zhang Shouren laughed immediately and said, "Why, you all know I'm coming?"

"Yes," the garrison replied: "The day before yesterday, Zhenglu's subordinates had come to spread the word, saying that Zhenglu had come from Xinye, and the distance was very close, but within a day or two, Yang Ge's department came to us. Xiangyang is already fast enough, and the trip took only twenty days. And the conquest came even faster, and there are already rumors in the Xiangfan area, saying that the parachutist brought a group of miraculous imperial guards!"

Water Margin is still the original story of the early Ming Dynasty. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, everyone knew it. The so-called Shenxing Taizong Dai Zong was almost a household name. It was more widely spread than later generations with developed information and entertainment. It's flattering to the extreme praise.

"Are the security checks tighter than before?" Zhang Shouren saw Zhang Shiqiang put away the seal seal, and said with a smile, "Even I have to take out my security checks, good guy!"

"It's not that I'm humble and bold," the guard said with a smile: "It's really that after the Master of the Cabinet came, he made repeated orders and repeated orders, everything is different from before. If Premier Xiong talked about conscripting captives when he was in Xiangyang, he would be considered an ordinary guerrilla or a thousand-year-old In short, we don’t check, regardless of the town’s outer town. We don’t check the status of gentry or students. Later, Prime Minister Xiong was arrested and interrogated. He went to the capital to question the crime. The governor ordered the refugees and all suspicious people in the city to be expelled. , Every city gate is guarded by a deputy commander, and the defense is much tighter than here."

When listening to this garrison, the generals of Fushan were also thoughtful, especially the few people in the staff office, from Jiang Min down, were all thoughtful.

When Zhang Shouren brought them out, he asked them to learn from all aspects, not just limited to military dogma.No matter how good Qi Jiguang's art of war is and what he teaches, it still needs to be related to reality in the end.If Qi Shaobao hadn't gone to work in the capital and Jizhen when he was young, he had been traveling thousands of miles for several years, and he had seen a lot of things, and he had grown up slowly.

Go straight from Fancheng, cross the pontoon bridge, and you will reach the boundary of Xiangyang.

More than 1000 officers and soldiers in solid armor and armed with sharp weapons entered the city. Even if many officers and soldiers from military towns came to Xiangyang City recently, Zhang Shouren and his party still caused a sensation.

In Fancheng, the news had already spread, but the people had not yet gathered. At this time, the iron cavalry rumbled into the city. The armor was shining brightly, and the iron cavalry walked side by side. But the determination and confidence to look down on everything and trample everything in front of the iron cavalry to pieces were still revealed from this uniform team and confident and domineering smiles.

By the time they walked through the city of Xiangyang and rushed towards the Xingyuan of the supervisor, many people in Xiangcheng had already guessed the identity of this group of people.

"From Shandong to Xiangyang in more than a month, amazing!"

"It is said that he is a parachutist, and he is a fierce general with more than [-] ranks who killed the Eastern captives. Now it seems that he is really heroic."

"Well, Zhang Xianzhong is in trouble now."

"The military appearance is so neat, the attire is so mighty, the stomach is so strong, the soldiers are so sharp, and the army is so strong. I have never seen this old man in my life. Today is really eye-opening, big-eyed."

For the "Shaanxi bandits", except for the mountain people and the poles who are closely connected with each other and support each other in Dashanli, even ordinary citizens will not have any good feelings.

Even with the best military discipline, Li Zicheng, who is poorly clothed and poorly fed to restrain his soldiers, will inevitably have some killings and looting, because without killing and looting, there will be no foundation for survival in a grain-producing area like Huguang, which is helpless. thing.

When Zhang Xianzhong was in Gucheng, of course he mostly plundered big households, because big households had food and money, and robbing a family was equivalent to robbing a hundred ordinary people. Things like this often happen, and it is impossible for him to be serious about military discipline and really manage his own subordinates.

After raising the banner again, there was no killing and looting in Gucheng, and there were many crimes along the way.They are also foreigners, and in Daming, where the local consciousness is very strong, Xiangyang, whether it is a gentry or a commoner, it is understandable that they hate the thieves.

By extension, Donglu is just a legendary villain to many people, while the bandits are the real threat. In Nanzhili, the bandits broke into Fengyang and threatened Nanjing, which made people panic. In Huguang, thieves are operating in their own territory. There are records of massacres and looting in Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Sichuan.

Compared with the Eastern captives, the "Shaanxi bandits" are more hateful in the hearts of the court or the people.

So in Nanming, at the last moment, Lian Shi Kefa still fantasized about using captives to attack thieves.

Zhang Shouren went south this time, among other things, the purpose of gaining credit and reputation must be achieved, otherwise, the loss will be too great. [

At this last point of time, along the journey of more than a thousand miles from Luoyang to Nanyang and Xiangyang, each mile is at least one shiliang, and in some places it is even a few shiliang.

When he was in Dengzhou, the army found a group of villagers sneaking around very suspiciously, so he immediately sent cavalry to check it out. As a result, he found that a group of men who were not afraid of the Eastern captives and had beheaded countless thieves were killed on the spot. Just throw up on the side of the road.

The outpost officer was furious. During the march, the scouts spread out for at least twenty miles. There must be no enemy situation, but the outpost cavalry vomited on the side of the road.

After looking at it, the outpost officer also vomited out.

This incident alarmed Qu Rui, and he came down to report to the Chinese army. Zhang Shiqiang took people to check, and then reported to Zhang Shouren.

After Zhang Shouren was alarmed, he hurried forward. The situation in front of him made him have nightmares for several days in a row.

A child less than one year old was born and boiled in a pot, lifelike and full of fragrance.

Such a thing, even the most perverted person can't imagine such a situation, Zhang Shouren almost vomited out on the spot, and almost passed out.

Even if he had seen the worst battlefields and the most dangerous fights in his later life, and spent days and nights in the stinky and muddy swamp, he still felt unacceptable without the situation in front of him.

"Catch those people back, no matter what the reason is, I will kill them here."

After receiving the order, those cavalry soldiers who were still vomiting just now jumped on their horses vigorously, brandished their sabers, and chased after them murderously.

Those who cook the children are the nearby villagers, like hungry skeletons, how far can they escape?Not long after, they were all arrested.

"I know that you are also panicking because of hunger, but isn't this child the sweetheart of his parents, who can do things like animals? If it weren't for the fact that you are hungry people, you will be cut into pieces!"

Zhang Shouren was still angry, he was nervous about going out, Yun Niang was already in labor, and when his wife was about to give birth, he even kept the matter of Miss Chen San from Dengzhou a secret. I owe a lot to Yunniang, so I used my privilege to invite all the experts in the obstetrics and gynecology department of Fushan Hospital to my home to stand by. Among them, dozens of the doctor plus Wenpo plus the prepared nannies stood there. This kind of demeanor barely made him feel better.

Now seeing such a group of beasts eating children, they didn't raise their knives to attack them. It was because these guys were hungry like ghosts, there was almost no difference.

"Darling baby, hey, sweetheart..."

When Zhang Shouren was talking, a man suddenly laughed, but his voice was sad, and there was no smile on his face. When his cheeks were touched, only the skin and bones moved, which looked creepy.

"doing what?"

A cavalryman kicked him and shouted: "Be honest, if you don't suffer for a while, I will guarantee that you will be cut off."

"That's good, I must be honest." Hearing this, the man was not only not afraid, but also relaxed: "I gave my son to someone else, and I replaced this child with someone else. He was even more flustered, thinking that Xiaobao had been cooked by someone now, how could this meat be eaten? But if he didn't eat it, wouldn't he be eating his own son for nothing? ..."

Before they could finish speaking, a group of cavalrymen lay on the ground again, spit out tears.

"Such a tragedy, if you tell it, no one will believe it."

At this moment, Zhang Shouren was finally the first to calm down.After releasing this group of people on the spot, they finally made up their minds to give relief along the way.

In the Luoyang area, he still felt sorry for the food and refused to take out more. After arriving in the Nanyang area, he calculated that the army would definitely receive relief when they rushed to Xiangyang.

Just don’t dare to release more. At most, coarse grains are the main grains and refined grains are supplemented. Putting out a few hundred stones can make more than ten thousand people in the vicinity live ten or eight days longer after receiving the grain.

How to live after ten or eight days, or whether they can survive, depends on their good fortune.

They came all the way from Shandong, and when they arrived in Nanyang, it was equivalent to a big circle in Henan. It is still the turn of autumn and winter, and there are still wild vegetables to eat, and there are still bark to eat when they go down. What can the Lulu victims have to eat, and how many will starve to death at that time, is already an incalculable and incalculable problem in everyone's mind.

……

……

The supervisor's Xingyuan is located in the east of Xiangyang City, and it is just opposite to the Prince Xiang's mansion and several counties' mansions. It is good to have nothing to do with each other. The sound of three-way drums and a burst of music sounded, and everyone knew that it was the sound of drums and music held by the governor in Qiji City. The subordinates can rush to the venue in no time.
