The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 338 Zhang Cheng: "Stuttering, you still rob?"

Ming Dynasty, Southern Pacification Division,
Dongcheng Qianhu Suo,

Looking at the list in front of him, Zhang Cheng's face was full of solemnity.
Because he thought there would be problems within the Jinyiwei, but he never thought that a small Qianhu Suo would have so many troubles.

It seems that the practice of drawing a salary without doing anything has become a common occurrence in the Ming Dynasty.

Even the emperor's personal army cannot avoid it!
No wonder the Ming Dynasty was so weak in its later years, because in addition to military pay, man-made disasters were the key factor!

"The sun and the moon are bright!"

Zhang Cheng couldn't help squinting his eyes while knocking on the table, because he was looking for a way to replace the imperial power.

Although Jiajing was able to stabilize the court, he forgot that power had begun to get out of control since his period!

Although the Donglin Party did not completely "appear" until the late Wanli period, who knows if there were any signs of this?

"The vassal kings must be dealt with, and the policies left by Zhu Yuanzhang must also be dealt with as soon as possible! All of these take time!"

Looking at the list in front of him, Zhang Cheng said, "Ding Xiu!"

"What's wrong!"

Ding Xiu came in from outside, eating a bun, and looked at Zhang Cheng with a puzzled look.

"Fill in the staffing according to the list. I don't care about the other thousand households, but I must have a strong army under my command!"

Looking at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but become serious.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu was stunned and said, "Are you crazy? If the higher-ups find out, will you still be a captain? I say, let's just make some money and forget about it!"

"Fifth-rank commander, what are you trying to gain? If you want to gain, you have to climb up, at least to the first rank, and be granted the title of Grand Guardian!"

Looking at Ding Xiu, Zhang Cheng expressed his ambition without hesitation.

"You, first rank? Then I can become a marquis!"

Mocking Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But in the next second, Ding Xiu was stunned, because he had never thought that he could become a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
After a few days of hard work, Zhang Cheng finally recruited all 500 Kriegs into the Jinyiwei.

However, for this matter, Zhang Cheng still made a lot of arrangements with the higher-ups.

Even his cold-faced boss, Commander Baihu, Zhang Cheng stuffed a lot of Silla maids into his pocket.
But he was rejected by Baihu. It was not until someone said that Baihu liked to play with exotic things that Zhang Cheng found a way!
So, if you want to move up, the most important thing is not to be able to do things, but to be able to be a human being!
And this Zhang guy just happens to have some experience in “being a human being”!

One day, Zhang Cheng was having a few drinks at home and eating stewed pork elbow.
But a letter flew in from the window, with a stone inside.
Looking at the words on it, Ding Xiu wiped his hands, opened it and said, "Heishi said that Xiyu appeared in the northwest, and asked you to borrow Jinyiwei to bring back Rama's body! Xiyu doesn't have to stay."

"Who does he think I am? I am a legitimate commander, how can I just go there like that?"

Zhang Cheng spoke with disdain. He was already somewhat dissatisfied with the Wheel King.
It’s fine that I used to be a minion of the Imperial Guard, but now he’s the Minister of Justice, why is he still treating me like his little brother?
Zhang Cheng: In front of Jiajing, you called me Xiao Zhang, and I don’t blame you. But when Jiajing is not around, what should you call me?
Chakravartin:
Ding Xiu: When you are working, you should call Zhang Zhiwu!

"He can help you get the job of the Southern Pacification Office!"

Turning his head to look at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu stared at him curiously, as if he wanted to see what he was thinking.
"Snapped!"

Zhang Cheng slammed the table and shouted angrily: "How can we negotiate conditions when we are doing things for the Ming Dynasty? We will set off tonight, arrive in the northwest tomorrow morning, and take care of Xiyu the day after tomorrow and get back Rama's body!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Ding Xiu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and said, "You are worthy of being here, Captain Zhang!" Looking at Zhang Cheng's reaction, as he expected, Ding Xiu also sneered.

Because he finally realized that this man would not do anything without benefits!
But there is one more thing, that is, he may not necessarily do things that harm others and benefit himself, but he will also do things that harm others and do not benefit himself!

The next morning, two hundred Jinyiwei rushed to the northwest after showing the arrest warrant of the White Lotus Sect.

If you ask what is the most convenient thing to do in the Ming Dynasty, it is to cause trouble for the White Lotus Sect!
Because apart from rebellion, the people that the Zhu family hates the most are the White Lotus Sect!

Perhaps it was because Zhu Yuanzhang had an unclear relationship with the White Lotus Sect, so after becoming emperor, he began to crack down on these sects on a large scale!
However, the White Lotus Sect was also stubborn. Since its emergence in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it has been causing troubles.

No birth mother, empty hometown!
This may sound like nonsense to modern people, but nowadays, it is truly believable.
Because when the year of famine comes, won’t people know who is real and who is fake?

Just like Zhang Jue, if he had not rebelled back then, he would have been the first person in the world to enjoy the lights and faith of thousands of households!
Even his reputation will surpass that of any Taoist Heavenly Master!
But Zhang Jue saw the real
And what he called the Taoist talisman was not the talisman we understand to boil water, but the rice soup that keeps people alive.
It was also because of Zhang Jue that Taoism gradually began to form the practice of closing its doors in prosperous times and going down the mountain in troubled times!
Because Taoism is rebellious, he really dared to create it!

Zhang Jue: The Blue Sky is dead, and the Yellow Sky should be established. I, Zhang Jue, beg the great man to die with me!
Liu Bang:.
Liu Xiu:.
Wang Mang: Well done!
In the northwest, the galloping horses are running wildly.

And at this moment, when passing through a narrow gap in the sky,
The bandits who were investigating were stunned when they saw the large number of Jinyiwei coming. They turned around and waved their hands and shouted, "Jinjin."

"Jin? Could he be a merchant from Shu?"

Looking at the scout not far away, the bandit leader immediately became excited.

"Brother, I think we can do this!"

Looking at the bandit leader happily, the second in command beside him couldn't help but get excited.
Just as a large number of bandits rushed out with shouts, the scout turned around, waved his hands and roared, "Jin, Jin, Jinyiwei!"

"What? Jinyiwei!"

The bandit leader was almost stunned as he looked at the scout in disbelief.

At this moment, Zhang Cheng was also frightened by the sudden appearance of the bandits.
Because he had never seen such a situation before. Are the bandits in the Ming Dynasty so fierce these days? They even dare to rob the Jinyiwei?

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the bandit leader saw Zhang Cheng stop his horse and immediately said with a smile: "Sir, I greet you!"

"Snapped!"

With a whip on the bandit leader's face, Zhang Cheng roared, "Are you fucking crazy? You dare to rob the Jinyiwei?"

"No, he...he stutters!"

The bandit leader looked at Zhang Cheng with grievance and almost cried.
Because he only heard the word "Jin" at the beginning, but he didn't say the last two words!
"Stutter, you dare to let him scout? You are not afraid of death!"

Pulling out the whip again, Zhang Cheng looked at Ding Xiu and said, "Tie them all up. Those who have killed someone should be beheaded. Those who are left behind should be taken to the nearby county government office!"

After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the Kriegs behind him rode out on their horses and surrounded the bandits.

Watching this scene, the bandit leader looked at the scout and said, "Damn it, you really screwed me!"

"I said, Jin, Jin, Jinyiwei!"

Looking at the bandit's head with grievance, the stuttering scout also knelt on the ground, holding his head and explaining.
