Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 134
On the sixth day of April, Master Zhang's team arrived in the capital. First, they stationed the troops in the school grounds outside the city, and then escorted more than 200 senior Jiannu prisoners of war into the city. offer prisoners.Along the way, soldiers from the Wucheng Bingma Division lined up on both sides of the road to maintain order, while tens of thousands of people in the capital beat gongs and drums behind the soldiers, singing and dancing to celebrate this hard-won victory.There is no way, since the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army fought against the Jiannu army, that is, under the leadership of Young Master Zhang's default father-in-law, Xiong Tingbi, they won a few small victories, and the rest were defeated or defeated, not the entire army was wiped out It is the loss of the land and humiliation of the country. The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty and the soldiers and civilians have changed their expressions when they talked about the establishment of slavery.But now Young Master Zhang took over the old man's class. First, he used the isolated city to fight against the soldiers who built the slaves. Young Master Zhang swept Liaodong with [-] cavalry, broke through the Jiannu puppet capital, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and captured a lot of the old Jiannu's wives and children, breaking the nonsense that the Jiannu army was invincible. In the face of victory, is there any reason why the people's officials in the capital should not cheer?
"Zhang Tanhua is here!" someone shouted, and the number one hero of the Liaodong Great Victory, Young Master Zhang, rode a tall horse and appeared in front of the eagerly awaited officials and people in the capital—not to mention wearing a brand new official uniform. Young Master Zhang, at this moment, really looks like a dog. He is handsome and handsome, and coupled with the halo of honor of the Great God of War, it is absolutely not a problem to seduce one or two ignorant and ugly girls who are deceived by illusions.So almost in an instant, the cheers of the people, soldiers and civilians like landslides and tsunami and the screams of girls resounded throughout the city. The huge sound waves almost threw Young Master Zhang off his horse again. ——At the same time, there were rotten eggs and rotten cabbage, which rained down on the Jiannu prisoners of war.

"Shitou, great opportunity." Seeing countless innocent and ignorant girls and daughters-in-law screaming for him, Young Master Zhang was not polite, and immediately shouted to Zhang Shitou who was leading his horse: "Look carefully, there are those who are pleasing to the eye. Yes, and then ask for their names and addresses, young master, when I come back this time, I should hurry up and make some grandchildren for my parents.” Zhang Shitou nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly turned to look at the side of the road—with a beautiful maid Zhang Shitou would send his own soldiers up to inquire about the details of any pretty girls who could see them, and they were very loyal.

"Dog, dog! Stone, stone! Look this way!" At this time, a group of familiar shouts came, and Young Master Zhang and Zhang Shitou looked in surprise. Zhang Fu, the old housekeeper of his father, and the eleven mothers of Young Master Zhang, were standing by the side of the road, wiping their tears and shouting to them.Young Master Zhang was surprised and delighted, and shouted: "Father, mother, aunt, second mother, third mother... eighty or ninety mothers, I have to go to the Meridian Gate to offer prisoners first, and when I come out of the palace, I will go home to you immediately." Kowtow." Over there Zhang Shitou and Zhang Fu also greeted.

"Okay, don't worry." Zhang Laocai agreed with a smile on his face, wiping away his tears.But in this way, people all over the street knew that Zhang Laocai was the father of Young Master Zhang, but in an instant, hundreds of gentry and wealthy businessmen with a reputation in the capital surrounded him, scrambling to bow to Zhang Laocai, Pick up a conversation in a polite way, and sell your precious daughter by the way—just kidding, Young Master Zhang is only 22 years old and has already reached the fourth rank, and he can climb up a few more ranks just after he has made the best of the world. If he can seize this opportunity and marry his daughter Young Master Zhang who is not married, how much advantage can he take in the future?It's a pity that the lessons learned from last year are there, and Zhang Laocai has seen through the true colors of these people. He smiled proudly and just refused, saying that his son is already engaged and has a wife—of course he knows that Young Master Zhang will go to Jinzhou. Eighty-nine times I can't come back, but I insist on marrying Zhang Qingyun, the young master Zhang.However, those gentry and wealthy businessmen didn't give up. They changed their tone and began to ask if Young Master Zhang was interested in taking a concubine and marrying a concubine.

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten someone? Shitou, have you seen that little girl Zhang Qingyun?" As he walked, Young Master Zhang suddenly remembered something—why didn't that little girl Zhang Qingyun show up?With her temper, knowing that she returned to Beijing triumphantly, it is impossible not to come to greet her and peek at her triumphant appearance?Zhang Shitou, who was leading the horse, just remembered this, and quickly looked around, looking for Zhang Qingyun's beautiful figure, and the few good-looking maids beside Zhang Qingyun.The hard work paid off, and when he was approaching Chengtianmen, Master Zhang finally saw Zhang Qingyun covering his face with a veil, holding Xiao Xing Yuan in his hand, watching him silently from behind the crowd.

"Qing Yun." Young Master Zhang was overjoyed, he patted his horse and walked a few steps over there, and was about to say hello to Zhang Qingyun, when Zhang Qingyun turned around and left, throwing a shy back to Young Master Zhang.Young Master Zhang was a little disappointed. Just when he was about to give up, a vaguely familiar girl's voice came from the front of the crowd, "What do you want to do? Don't think that this girl will be afraid of you if you win a little victory in Liaodong!"

"Huh?" Young Master Zhang looked down in surprise, only to see Ma Xiangling, a tall and slender figure wearing a Sichuan minority costume, holding a waist knife with a pretty face, glaring at her, and beside her was her sister-in-law, the only one in Daming. Zhang Fengyi, one of the two female generals.Young Master Zhang secretly said that he and Ma Xiangling really did not get along, and said with a wry smile: "Miss Ma, you misunderstood, I just wanted to say hello to you. By the way, why did you come to the capital?"

"The An She Rebellion has been settled, and the two bandit chieftains, An Bangyan and She Chongming, have been beheaded by our Sichuan-Guizhou army." Zhang Fengyi's attitude towards Young Master Zhang was obviously much better this time, and she explained with a smile: "Grandma sent us Beijing reported the victory and presented the head, and the emperor issued a decree to recruit the mother-in-law and the others to come to Beijing to receive the reward, so we stayed." Speaking of this, Zhang Fengyi added: "By the way, my husband, General Ma Xianglin, has also come to Beijing. He is now in the Forbidden City, Mr. Zhang, when you go to the Meridian Gate to offer prisoners, you can see him."

"The emperor summoned General Qin's soldiers to the capital? Will the white soldiers come to the capital?" Young Master Zhang subconsciously asked.Zhang Fengyi shook her head in a daze, and replied strangely: "Foreign troops are not allowed to enter the capital, don't you know that, Mr. Zhang? The emperor only announced the main generals of our white soldiers to enter the capital, did not call the army to enter the capital?"

"Oh, that's good." Young Master Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, cursing himself for his bad character, he became more and more suspicious, how could he subconsciously think that Ming Xizong used rewards as an entrance to call white soldiers into Beijing to deal with eunuchs?With Zhu Youxiao's feelings for Wei Zhongxian, how could he do such a thing?Young Master Zhang quickly found an excuse and said: "That's really a pity. Originally, I wanted to admire the majestic appearance of the white-armed soldiers of the First Army of Ming Dynasty, but it seems that I can only wait until later."

"Really? Master Zhang, if you want to appreciate the military power of the white soldiers, there are plenty of opportunities." Zhang Fengyi pursed her lips and snickered mysteriously, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, you'd better enter Chengtian Gate quickly, don't It delayed the time to offer prisoners at the Meridian Gate."

"Thank you, General Zhang, for reminding me that I will definitely come to visit some other day." Young Master Zhang promised, and then he caught up with the team again. Before leaving, Young Master Zhang glanced back at Ma Xiangling and found that she was wearing relatively tight ethnic minority clothes. The figure of the standard model with protruding front and back is even more revealing, and the two slender jade legs are even more attractive. Young Master Zhang couldn't help swallowing, and said to himself that if he really saw her beauty out of the bath last time, then But that would be great.And Ma Xiangling also took a peek at Young Master Zhang, her four eyes collided, Ma Xiangling quickly looked away again, her pretty face was already flushed red.Young Master Zhang snickered, and said in his heart: "You bitches, when you're shy, you're really pretty."

At noon, Young Master Zhang's team stepped into the Chengtian Gate on time. Looking in the direction of the Meridian Gate, 200 brocade guards had already lined up on both sides of the Meridian Gate, with embroidered spring knives on their waists and eagle beaked weapons in their hands, standing solemnly. On the other hand, civil and military officials in royal robes and feather crowns stood upright, while Ming Xizong in dragon robes and gold crowns sat high on the tower, with Wang Tiqian and Wei Zhongxian standing on both sides.In such a solemn and solemn atmosphere, it was rare for Young Master Zhang to put away his hippie smile. He led the team to the Jinshui Bridge, lined up more than [-] Jiannu prison cars, walked across the bridge, knelt down in front of the tower, and shouted loudly. Played: "My minister, Zhang Haogu, was ordered to guard Jinzhou to conquer the rebels and build slaves. Thanks to the emperor's great fortune, he won the death of the army. Fortunately, he did not disgrace the mission. In the battle of Jinzhou, more than [-] enemies were killed. In the battle of Shenyang, the slaves were beheaded. More than [-] people, [-] heads were awarded, and more than [-] people from the family of the captured chieftain and general are now dedicated to the Meridian Gate, please send it to the emperor!"

"Pass down the decree, put Nurhachi No. 15 son Dorgon and No. 16 son Fei Yangguo to death in Ling Chi!" Ming Xizong usually looks weak, but he can be regarded as ruthless when he really does it. So he decreed to execute Nurhachi's two sons, Ling Chi, to cut off some officials' attempts to use Nurhachi's sons to negotiate a peace. The slave family is small, and you will be charged with the three laws!"

"Long live my emperor, long live!" Young Master Zhang took the lead, and all civil and military officials knelt down and sang together.Amidst the shouts, Tian Ergeng waved his hand, and dozens of Jinyi guards came out, took Nurhachi's nine wives and two sons out of the prison cart, and dragged them to the execution platform in front of the morning gate. At first, Dorgon and Fei Yangguo were stripped of their prison clothes, tied to the rack, and then Nurhachi's nine wives were pushed onto the guillotine, cut in half one by one, and then they took out the sharp knife and started cutting bit by bit. The exposed muscles of Dorgon and Feiyanguo.During the period, blood and flesh splattered, intestines and kidneys flowed together, and Nuerhachi's wife, who was cut into two by the waist, screamed incessantly, mixed with the curses and screams of Dorgon and Fei Yangguo. Ming Xizong, Wei Zhongxian, civil and military officials and others were terrified. Many people simply closed their eyes. Only Young Master Zhang didn't notice it and turned a blind eye to it. Trembling, he said in his heart that he was indeed the devil who had massacred cities in the Jianshou Puppet City. With his calmness, it seemed that the number of killed enemies he reported was absolutely true.

Nurhachi's nine wives were all cut off one after another, and the remaining Dorgon and Fei Yangguo had to be cut off for three days before they were killed. Followed up, unfolded the imperial decree of Huang Feng and said: "Tomorrow will be mighty, build slaves and clowns, jump on beams to cause chaos, and kill yourself!" Young Master Zhang and all the civil and military officials present repeated in unison, and sang loudly: "Long live! Long live! Long live! Long live!"

After cutting Dorgon and Fei Yangguo three hundred knives, the two and a half slaves were temporarily put in prison, and the prisoner offering ceremony officially ended.Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty ordered the Qianqing Palace to hold a banquet to reward the three armies. Brothers Liu Ruozai and Yu Huang also came up to greet him, hugged and shed tears with Young Master Zhang, celebrating the reunion of the brothers after a long absence.Young Master Zhang saw that both Liu Ruozai and Yu Huang had changed into fifth-rank official uniforms. Of course, he must congratulate the two elder brothers for their promotion, but Yu Huang said shyly, "This is all thanks to my third brother. Your victory in Jinzhou When the battle report was sent to the capital, the emperor and Jiuqiantui promoted us all as soon as they were happy, saying that we have contributed to taking care of your family, but in fact, what kind of credit is that?"

"Second brother, you can't say that. Isn't it your credit for taking care of my brother and my parents?" Young Master Zhang corrected with a smile.Yu Huang and Liu Ruozai also laughed, and were about to say something to Young Master Zhang when Xu Guangqi and Bo Jue who were beside him rushed up, held Young Master Zhang's hand together and shouted: "Master Zhang, you returned triumphantly this time. We don’t have anything good to give you to celebrate, so let’s send you some good news.”

"What good news? Could it be that the rifled gun was made?" Young Master Zhang asked, blinking treacherous triangular eyes.Xu Guangqi nodded with a wry smile, and replied: "Master Zhang is really good at predicting things, but we only made the rifled barrel and the miniature bullet. We haven't made the flint and flint part you mentioned." Bo Jue called out happily Said: "Master Zhang, after the rifled barrel and the miniature bullets were manufactured, we first made a few matchlock rifles for testing. As a result, the range of the rifled rifles was indeed several times longer. What is the reason for this? Master Zhang, you must tell us."

"Let's wait for another day, when I go to appreciate your matchlock rifles, I will explain it to you in detail." Young Master Zhang agreed with a smile.Xu Guangqi and Bo Jue nodded joyfully. They planned to say something to Young Master Zhang, but there were too many civil and military officials present, and Young Master Zhang had many acquaintances. In the blink of an eye, Young Master Zhang, the big celebrity, was captured by Zhang Ruitu. The gang pulled over, and after talking with Zhang Ruitu and the testers, the team had already entered the main hall of Qianqing Palace.When the banquet started, Ming Xizong ordered all the ministers to eat and drink to their heart's content. Young Master Zhang immediately became the focus of everyone’s toast. After dozens of glasses of wine were poured down, Young Master Zhang, who had a large capacity for alcohol, also began to get dizzy, and naturally I don't have the mind to think about national affairs, family affairs and world affairs, so I just use two words when I open my belly, eat and drink.

Amidst the laughter, Young Master Zhang, who was drowsy from drinking, was suddenly pulled a few times. When Young Master Zhang looked back, he saw that it was Cui Chengxiu who had a good relationship with him. Look at Feng Quan." Young Master Zhang turned around in a daze, and found that Feng Quan was sitting alone in a corner with a group of officials from the household department, drinking sullenly, forming a pattern with the lively scene around him. In stark contrast, Young Master Zhang also asked with a sinister smile, "What? Does Feng Quan know the list I handed over?"

"Of course I know, otherwise Feng Laogou would be like this?" Cui Chengxiu, who was also blushing and thick-necked, said with a wicked smile: "Brother Zhang, how about the two of us going to toast Feng Quan?"

"Good idea, let's go." Young Master Zhang has already heard that Feng Quan suggested that Wei Zhongxian kill his whole family. If there is a chance to make Feng Quan uncomfortable, how could he give up?At that moment, Young Master Zhang and Cui Chengxiu, a pair of eunuchs who are colluding together, took a cup and a pot, and wobbled towards the other eunuch Feng Quan. Coming over with Cui Chengxiu, knowing that these two bastards must have no good intentions, they hurriedly escaped with the excuse of urinating, leaving a large group of household officials to greet Young Master Zhang and Cui Chengxiu.Young Master Zhang also wanted to annoy Feng Quan, so he chased after him and shouted loudly: "Master Feng, don't go, this official came back triumphantly this time, and drank the celebration wine with so many people, but I haven't had a chance to drink with you yet. What's the matter?" ? Our Daming army won a big victory against Jiannu, are you unhappy, Mr. Feng?"

"Master Zhang is just joking. How dare you be unhappy with the great victory in Liaodong? It's just that I have never had a chance to have a drink with Master Zhang." Feng Quan had to stop with a sad face, and his stomach was full of the eighteen generations of the ancestors of Young Master Zhang.But just when Young Master Zhang was about to walk in front of Feng Quan, the dizzy Young Master Zhang slipped on the soles of his feet and fell onto the back of an official from the household department next to him, spilling a pot of wine in his hand onto the official's black hat On the way, the household official was furious, he took a breath and arched his back, Young Master Zhang felt an overwhelming force hit him, he took two steps back and fell on his back, "Oh my god!"

"Bold!" Cui Chengxiu was also furious, and while going to help Young Master Zhang, he yelled at the household official: "You are so brave, you dare to deliberately knock Master Zhang down, are you bored?"

"Don't blame Mr. Cui. Mr. Zhang fell because he couldn't stand still." The seemingly frail household official stood up, pointed to his official hat that was soaked in wine, and said angrily: "Mr. The official's hat was also soaked, this is a black gauze hat given by the imperial court."

At this time, Ming Xizong, Wei Zhongxian and others who found that the situation here was not right also came over. Seeing that the young master Zhang who had just made great achievements for the court was knocked down by a small sixth-rank official of the household department, Ming Xizong couldn't help being angry Smoke rose from the seven orifices, and he shouted angrily: "Zhang Aiqing is my hero, and you dare to humiliate him before I have time to reward him? Come on, take off the hat of the head of the household department, take off his official uniform, and push out the Wumen imperial staff." Twenty, dismissed from office for the people, never hired."

"Your majesty, I am wronged." The official of the household department shouted his injustice, "Master Zhang bumped into the humble minister first, and then fell down. The humble minister did not humiliate him."

"Don't be so wordy, so many people have seen it, and you still want to play tricks?" Also angry was Young Master Zhang's godfather Wei Zhongxian, who shouted and ordered Jin Yiwei to drag the official of the household department out of the court, and the commander of Jin Yiwei made Tian The relationship between Er Geng and Young Master Zhang was also good. With a wave of his hand, the two Jin Yiwei rushed up, tore off the black hat of the household official, and dragged him away.It was only at this moment that Young Master Zhang finally came to his senses and asked Cui Chengxiu: "Brother Cui, this guy belongs to Feng Quan."

"No." Cui Chengxiu shook his head, and replied in a low voice: "His name is..., although he is the head of the household department, but Feng Quan has just become the secretary of the household department for a few days, and he has not been dragged..."

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei, please calm down." Before Cui Chengxiu finished speaking, Young Master Zhang rushed over, grabbed the household official, knelt down to Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian, kowtowed and said : "Your Majesty, nine thousand years old, it is true that I have nothing to do with this minister just now, it has nothing to do with this... lord, the minister accidentally wet his official hat, it should be the minister who apologized to him."

"Huh?" Ming Xizong, Wei Zhongxian, and the officials present were all taken aback, thinking that Zhang Haogu had taken the wrong medicine, and that a small sixth-rank head of the household department should be wronged if he was wronged. Do you plead for him?The household official was even more puzzled. When he lowered his head to look at Young Master Zhang, he saw that Young Master Zhang just turned his head around and flattered himself with a smile on his face: "...My lord, I have admired your name for a long time. How about it? Are you not interested enough to be my next job? If you are interested, my teacher Zhang Ruitu is now the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, I will ask him to transfer you here..."

Who is the head of the household department?Why did Young Master Zhang treat him like this?To know what happened next, please see the next chapter.
