Chapter 408: Your grandma!

Where is Jinan Prefecture?

It is the capital of Shandong!

Zhang Zhun's cavalry actually came to Jinan Prefecture?

He really thought he was the number one person in Shandong?

"Order Zhu Han and chase him immediately!" Zhu Dadian said with a pale face.

Zhu Han is his nephew and the garrison of the cavalry battalion under his command. The cavalry battalion is the most elite combat force under Zhu Dadian, and he spent a lot of effort to form it. There is nothing important to do in normal times, and he is usually reluctant to use it easily. But now, it is the time to use the cavalry battalion.

Zhang Zhun's people actually dared to run to Jinan Prefecture to act wildly. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Zhun was deliberately putting his face, and slapped it loudly. If he didn't fight back hard and didn't slap him back, how could he swallow this? What would others think of him? Is he the master of Shandong, or is Zhang Zhu the master of Shandong?

"I understand!" My subordinate agreed.

Zhu Dadian sat down in disappointment.

The other officials looked at me and I looked at you. Except for Zheng Man, they felt a little embarrassed, a little sad, and a little helpless. In the past, they had always mocked the incompetence of the governments in Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan, which made the rioters fight in a mess. Now they found that they were the worst. After all, no one of the princes had been expelled! Now, not only did they have a vassal king exiled, but even the traces of bandits appeared around the capital. When the news spread, other officials from other provinces didn’t know what kind of gloating were going to be behind them!

King De said with some concern: "Yanzhi, could it be Zhang Zhun's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Zhu Dadian immediately frowned.

King De’s concern is not unreasonable. Zhang Zhun has no power to attack Jinan City head-on. Perhaps, he really wants to lure the tiger away from the mountain, or attack the Ming army in the city to passively get beaten. Or he can transfer all the defenders in the city and then sneak attack Jinan City. If Zhang Zhun’s troops have ambush outside the city and the cavalry battalion plunges into it, wouldn’t it be very dangerous? If it were someone else, Zhu Dadian might not think it is that possible. But Zhang Zhun is different!

Zhang Zhun had already bombarded Nanjing City and expelled King Heng. This was something that no one dared to think about. God knows whether he would have more actions next? If Jinan Prefecture is captured by Zhang Zhun, it would be a big deal. Even if Jinan City is not safe, if his cavalry battalion is eaten by Zhang Zhun, it would be a very troublesome thing.

Zhu Dadian thought about it and felt that he still had to be more cautious and not take risks easily. So he called a subordinate and ordered: "I inform Zhu Han and send 400 cavalry to sweep the surrounding areas of Jinan Prefecture. The other troops should stay in the city and wait and see what changes."

My subordinates hurriedly agreed to go.

Zhu Dadian was a little relieved. He had a total of 1,400 cavalry. He had removed 400 and had 1,000 cavalry, so there should be nothing serious. Zhu Dadian made up his mind at the same time that as long as he survived this risk, he would definitely expand his cavalry in large quantities. Taking advantage of his good relationship with the eunuch Wang Kun, the governor of Xuanfu, he would get more war horses from him as soon as possible.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Not long after his subordinates left, gunshots came from the south gate of Jinan Prefecture.

The gunshots were a little far away, and they didn't hear them very clearly. They felt like there were children playing with firecrackers. However, after the gunshots just now, they were all very alert, so they could hear them clearly. Sure enough, soon, they came down to report that the Jinan Guards in the south of the city were also attacked, and more than a dozen people died. The attacking Zhang Zhun's cavalry was very fierce, and there was no way to live wherever they passed.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Then someone came to report that the shadows of the thief cavalry were also found in other gates of Jinan City. They shot at the defenders at the top of the city, or fired guns at the sky. According to incomplete statistics, thirty or forty people died under the guns of the thief cavalry. The thief cavalry all fled far away after firing the guns, and I don’t know where they went.

As a result, Zhang Zhun's stragglers appeared in many directions of Jinan City. For a moment, no one could tell whether there were other large troops behind Zhang Zhun's stragglers. Similarly, no one dared to determine whether Zhang Zhun was really just harassing Jinan City. Some people were worried whether Zhang Zhun would deliberately block Jinan City and then send people to plunder other areas in Shandong. From Jinan City, there were the rich Dongping, Linqing and other places. If Zhang Zhun plundered this place, the local losses would be heavy.

According to the report of his subordinates, chaos has begun to occur in Jinan City, and various rumors are spreading rapidly, and rumors about the incense smelling sect are endless. Because there have been many turmoils in Shandong, and every turmoil in the incense smelling sect is very loud, so ordinary people always like to hear the wind and rain. They habitually believe that as long as there is turmoil, the incense smelling sect is initiated. This time the same is true.

It is not terrible to be attacked by Zhang Zhun. It is terrible to combine Zhang Zhun's attack with the turmoil of the Scented Sect, and further expand his influence. People's hearts, you say that it is important, may not be very important. In the face of absolute force, people's hearts do not work at all. But you want to say that it is not important. When both sides are evenly matched, it can indeed turn the tilt direction of the balance.

In the imperial edicts of the court, Zhang Zhun was an unforgivable thief. In the eyes of ordinary people who do not know the truth, Zhang Zhun was a thief. Even if Zhang Zhun now occupied Jinan City, most of the people in the city would not accept him. However, as rumors spread, the direction of people's hearts would change. If Zhang Zhun's name gradually became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then slowly, the people would accept him. In the future, if Zhang Zhun took over Jinan City, most of the people would turn to support him. This is what he feared the most.

For the sake of the present, we must eliminate these negative effects as soon as possible. To achieve this, of course, we must drive Zhang Zhu away from afar. As long as Zhang Zhu does not appear around Jinan City, even if rumors are full of rumors and rumors are flying everywhere, the credibility is still not high. As long as the people do not believe in Zhang Zhu's ability, Jinan City will naturally be safe and sound.

Finally, King De was understanding and said tactfully: "Yanzhi, you can handle the affairs of Jinan Prefecture first. King Heng will stay here for a while now."

Zhu Dadian had no choice but to sue him and left Prince De's Mansion with gritted teeth.

"Your grandma!"

"Zhang Zhun, I'm not finished with you!"

Along the way, Zhu Dadian cursed Zhang Zhun fiercely.

At the celebration banquet at Fengyang Prefecture, Zhu Dadian did not take Zhang Zhu seriously at all. Even if Zhang Zhu controlled Laizhou Prefecture, he was just a traitor. He thought that as long as he took action, he would definitely be able to easily clean up Zhang Zhu. Unexpectedly, he was hit hard by Zhang Zhun as soon as he led his army back to Jinan Prefecture, and felt a little dizzy. Zhang Zhun, this bastard, dared to send troops to harass Jinan City, which was obviously directly against him. Damn, Zhang Zhun really doesn't give him any face!

"Zhu Han!"

"Order all cavalry out of the city!"

"Search for Zhang Zhun's straitors! Find out the situation!"

"If Zhang Zhun's scattered soldiers are caught, they will be beaten to death!"

"No, capture them alive! Capture them alive! Capture them alive! I want to hang them on the top of the city!"

Zhu Dadian said viciously with his cheeks twisted.

In anger, he completely forgot what King De reminded him.

Zhu Han hurriedly agreed and ordered all the cavalry battalions to go out of the city and search for Zhang Zhun's scattered soldiers.

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

"Da da da da!"

The dense sound of horse hooves rang in Jinan City.

When the gunshots sounded, many people in Jinan City looked at the direction of the city gate in shock, and looked at the people around them with confusion, guessing what happened. Later, when the governor's cavalry camp was dispatched, he knew that it was a major event outside the city. Jinan City rarely encountered such an emergency. Only when the Scent of the Incense Sect was causing trouble in the past, would they need to mobilize troops from Jinan City to fight.

For a time, all kinds of rumors spread, and rumors were spreading above the world. Some people said that the Scent of Incense Rebellion rebelled again. Some people said that it was not the Scent of Incense Rebellion, but Zhang Zhun who came to kill him. Some people said that it was Zhang Zhun of the Scent of Incense Rebellion. In front of Zhang Zhun, the three words "Scent of Incense Rebellion" were added, and rumors spread faster.

Of course, Zhu Dadian ordered a severe suppression. Therefore, a large number of soldiers, as well as yamen runners, constables, etc. appeared on the streets of Jinan City, and people were strictly prohibited from whispering and whispering. If three people stood together, they would be regarded as illegal gatherings. If a few people walked together, they would be regarded as illegal walking. Even if a family was having sex in the yard, it would be illegally prohibited. As long as it was violated, they would be arrested.

For a moment, the entire Jinan City was terrible and there were no pedestrians on the streets. Most shops were closed one after another to avoid being robbed. All prisons were filled with people who were arrested. People kept shouting for justice in every place. However, their shouting for justice would not have any result. The only way they could go out safely, that is, paying money. Taking advantage of such an opportunity to kill and accumulate money is already the only way for officials at all levels to do.

"I don't believe it, Zhang Zhun really came to Jinan City!"

"I want to go out of the city and see it myself!"

Zhu Dadian said gritting his teeth.

Soon, Zhu Dadian came out from the north gate of Jinan City with hundreds of personal soldiers.

Zhang Zhun's provocation completely angered the Shandong governor. It must be said that among all the governors of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Dadian belonged to the more courageous category. He was indeed not afraid of fighting, nor was he afraid of Zhang Zhun and the Winter Sorrow Sect. In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde rebelled, so he took decisive actions and dealt with the actions left by Sun Yuanhua. If he had no courage and rushed to Fengyang Mansion, his actions would not have been so rapid.

When Zhu Dadian left the city, he did not notice that at a tea stall near the city gate, there was an unreasonable young man who was shaking a gold-painted paper fan and silently watching everything happening near the city gate. The owner of the tea stall is also a woman. Other people's tea stalls have been closed, and only this tea stall is open. If Zhang Zhun was here, he would definitely recognize the handsome young man, Dong Shuyan, the "witch" of the Winter Sect.

"Where are people?"

"Did you find the target?"

"Who did you see at that time?

After Zhu Dadian took his personal soldiers out of the city, there was no one outside the city. All the people either fled or hid. The few people who were finally searched were all unaware of it. Zhu Dadian was naturally very disappointed.

When he arrived at the site where Qingzhou Guards were attacked, Zhu Dadian was angry and found that there were no other clues on the ground except for the bodies of more than a dozen soldiers of the guards. Yes, there were indeed many messy horse hoof prints on the nearby ground. However, relying on these horse hoof prints, what valuable clues can be obtained?

Finally, his cavalry camp finally found several ordinary people who witnessed the shooting nearby. According to the descriptions of these witnesses, the guards were "handling business" at that time, and suddenly there was a group of gray-fitting cavalry, who shot them randomly and killed them all. Then, the cavalry in gray uniforms quickly turned their horses and left. The time before and after, in the blink of an eye.

"How many people are there?" Zhu Dadian asked with a frown.

"About fifty people." The witness said with uncertainty.

"How many people are there?" Zhu Dadian was in a bad mood and was a little angry.

"Maybe there are a hundred people..." The witness was intimidated by the governor and hurriedly changed his words.

Zhu Dadian had no choice but to stop asking.

Looking at the bodies of the guards and soldiers on the ground, Zhu Dadian had no sympathy or pity at all. All of these guards were worthy of their lives. If all the guards and soldiers in the world were wiped out, the court would not know how happy they would be. If all the money and food saved were used to raise soldiers, they could increase at least 300,000 soldiers.

But then again, Zhang Zhun's troops were also soldiers of the garrison, and were also broken military households of the Aoshan Guard. The conditions of the Aoshan Guard were much worse than those of the Qingzhou Guard! Why was the troops led by Zhang Zhuang so cruel and unstoppable? If the court could find the secret, maybe millions of soldiers of the garrison could become fierce, then what would happen to the Tartars and the rioters?

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"
