Chapter 475 We all welcome those who dare to kill Tartars!

Chapter 475: We welcome all those who dare to kill the Tartars!

Zhang Shenyan was completely shocked by Zhang Zhun's words.

In fact, he had completely verbal rebuttal. To refute Zhang Zhun's words theoretically, it would be difficult to refute them. How many scholars and officials in the Ming Dynasty were not good at speaking? When Zhang Shenyan debated with others, he was also talking endlessly. However, even he himself felt that his verbal rebuttal was pale and powerless, and he refuted it purely for the sake of rebuttal, and did not touch the essence of the problem.

If he hadn't come to Laizhou Prefecture in person, he might have already refuted it by classics. Unfortunately, he had personally visited Laizhou Prefecture to see it. The changes in Laizhou Prefecture were definitely something Zhang Shenyan had never thought of before. In the month in Laizhou Prefecture, Zhang Shenyan had only one feeling, which was amazed. He was amazed by Zhang Zhun's courage to innovate, the locals' enthusiasm for work, and the locals' expression full of hope for the future.

If the north and northwest of the Ming Dynasty were hell on earth, Laizhou Prefecture was the place of vitality. When a large number of people in the northwest were hungry and cold and had to rise up to fight against the government, the people of Laizhou Prefecture were full, dressed warmly, and lived a fulfilling life. The people here all had their own fields. They only had to pay a small amount of taxes, and the other harvests were all their own.

Be kind to be a person, he cannot speak with his conscience. He cannot erase Zhang Zhun's efforts and achievements. He cannot erase everything he saw with his own eyes. He sincerely feels happy for the lives of the people here. If he can with his own efforts, the people of Dengzhou Prefecture can become as happy as Laizhou Prefecture...

Uncontrollably, Zhang Shenyan clenched his fists in a rare and quietly. The most important thing for scholars and officials is to upright their hearts, cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern the country, and pacify the world. If they can achieve something in Dengzhou City, wouldn’t they just realize their wishes? In the past, they didn’t have such opportunities and conditions. Now, if they have such opportunities and conditions, do they still have to refuse?

Zhang Zhun noticed this subtle change and knew that Zhang Shenyan had already started to act. He bowed slightly to Zhang Shenyan and said with a serious expression: "The 300,000 people in Dengzhou Prefecture are waiting for Duke Miaoshan's reply. I will say goodbye."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhang Shenyan's response, he turned around and made great strides.

When he returned to the outside of the main hall, he saw Liu Shouzhu still kneeling on the ground. Zhang Zhun frowned and said indifferently: "Get up!"

Liu Shouzhu then breathed a sigh of relief and stood up quickly with a strange expression. Liu Shouzhu heard what Zhang Zhun said just now. He didn't know much about Zhang Zhun, and he never thought that Zhang Zhun dared to rebel publicly. Rebellion was definitely a death sentence. As the Jinyiwei, he had to arrest the person who tried to rebel as soon as possible. However, his life was now in Zhang Zhun's hands. How could he have the courage to catch people? He had to pretend that he had not heard anything.

Zhang Zhun was not afraid that the Jinyiwei of the court knew that he was going to rebel. This was already a matter of knowledge. The emperor knew, the cabinet knew, the ministers of the six ministries knew, and Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, knew even more. He said slowly: "I will let you go back safely. But before that, you have to help me do something. If you do it well, you can go back to the capital immediately. If it is not done well, it is hard to say!"

Liu Shouzhu hurriedly said, "Governor General, please give me instructions, the younger ones must work hard to do it."

Zhang Zhun simply said Zhang Shenyan’s plan.

When Liu Shouzhu learned that it was a oral order, he hurriedly agreed. Naturally, this kind of thing was not difficult at all. In addition to arresting people, the most important thing the Jinyiwei did was to pass on oral orders. A simple thing could be exchanged for a safe return to the capital. What a fool would not want to do?

Zhang Zhun called someone to come over and arranged for the Jinyiwei to go down and rest, and provide them with enough water and food. Liu Shouzhu and others were all hungry and sleepy, so they hurriedly followed. The originally crowded courtyard immediately became empty.

"This old man..."

Zhang Zhun looked back at the corridor and found that Zhang Shenyan was still stunned. He must have been having a fierce ideological struggle in his mind. Obviously he had no intention of sleeping, so he shook his head and went to rest by himself.

When he woke up in the morning, Zhang Zhun felt that the surroundings were very quiet. He could not hear the sound of light cannons, and no one came to report that the Tartars appeared. It seemed that the Tartars chose silence. The Tartars chose silence, which was actually not a good thing for the Tiger Ben Army.

If the Tartars were like madmen, they kept rushing up, and the cannons, muskets, mines, and explosive packs of the Tiger Army could all come in handy. The redness of the Tartars' eyes turned red, the more they lost their minds, and the more they went to attack Huangxian at all costs, the greater the results of the Tiger Army's battle. But now it seems that the Tartars are trying their best to endure it!

This Dorgon is indeed an extraordinary person.

Opponent, this guy is indeed an opponent.

Zhang Zhun looked around, but did not see Gao Hongtu, nor did Zhang Shenyan. He knew that the two of them had gone to bed late last night and would definitely not get up so early, so he went out alone to have breakfast. After breakfast, Zhang Zhun was about to go out when he saw Li Zhaohui at the door.

Li Zhaohui took his five companions and seemed to have been waiting for Zhang Zhun at the door for a while. Seeing Zhang Zhun come out, Li Zhaohui immediately saluted and said, "Governor, we want to kill the Tartars with you!"

Zhang Zhun glanced up and down and said calmly: "Why?"

Li Zhaohui said a little frustrated: "In Dongjiang Town, none of us Tartars have been killed. Dongjiang Town has surrendered to the Tartars, which is simply a shame for our Ming soldiers. When we came to Dengzhou Prefecture, we originally wanted to kill the Tartars with Ruan Dacheng, but unexpectedly, Ruan Dacheng surrendered to the Tartars again. The Tartars are our biggest enemy, and we want to fight the Tartars to death! Even if we want to die, we will die on the battlefield!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "Are you unfamiliar with equestrianism?"

Li Zhaohui's face suddenly turned red, and he felt that Zhang Zhun seemed to be despising him, and said in a stiff tone: "Please give me a horse."

Zhang Zhun nodded and threw the reins of his mount to him. His mount was a big red horse. It had no other advantage, but that it was tall and strong, and could lift Zhang Zhun up. Li Zhaohui was not very tall, and standing next to the tall horse seemed a bit disproportionate. Due to the weight bearing factors of war horses, ordinary cavalry would not be too heavy. If every cavalry seemed to be as tall as Zhang Zhun, there would not be so many tall horses to arm them. He would crush the war horse first, how could he fight in the future?

Li Zhaohui said hesitantly: "This is the mount of an adult..."

Zhang Zhun said disapprovingly: "It is first of all a war horse."

Li Zhaohui gritted his teeth and said, "I offended you!"

After saying that, he quickly turned over the horse and grabbed the horse's belly, and the big red horse rushed out.

The area of ​​the courtyard is not very large, which seriously restricts the movement of the big red horse. However, Li Zhaohui manipulated the big red horse to turn, retreat, dismount, get on the horse, avoid the horse's belly, lean left, and lean right... The series of actions were done in one go. It seemed that this was not a courtyard at all, but a training ground for cavalry.

When cavalry fight, they only know that it is not enough to rush forward. They also need to pay special attention to the cooperation between cavalry, how to avoid falling horses, and how to quickly get on horses after falling off horses. The tricks here are all sets, and even Zhang Zhun doesn't understand them. Otherwise, it won't take several years for a cavalry to be fully trained and mature.

For example, his three cavalry battalions are now at the stage where they only know how to rush forward. Not many other higher-level skills have mastered. Zhang Zhun once tried to avoid the horse's belly, but found that only less than thirty people in the three cavalry battalions could do it.

Zhang Zhun's big red horse was tossed back and forth by Li Zhaohui and kept neighing, which was obviously a bit unbearable. Cavalry should pay attention to the unity of man and horse. Not only should the cavalry be skilled, but the war horse itself should also be trained to be skilled. The war horse has no consciousness of thinking and can only respond based on conditioned reflexes. This is also something that takes years of training. Zhang Zhun's war horse obviously did not meet such requirements. He responded to Li Zhaohui's instructions and sometimes he didn't know how to react.

“Good!”

Zhang Zhun couldn't help but nodded.

It turns out that he was the one who once served as the Thousand General of Cavalry. He fully demonstrated his cavalry skills in a small area. Guanning Iron Cavalry can block the advancement of the Tartars and have the courage to fight against the Tartars cavalry in the field. It is indeed a bit of real skills. What the Hu Ben Army lacks is professional cavalry officers. At present, only Xie Youzhi is a professional, and all the others have become monks halfway. Li Zhaohui voluntarily joins, which is naturally the best.

Zhang Zhun looked at the five people behind Li Zhaohui again. It would be even better if the five of them were all from Guanning Iron Cavalry. Six professional cavalry came at once, but it was a considerable amount of wealth, especially the other party came from Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Li Zhaohui rode his horse to Zhang Zhun, jumped off the horse, and said, "They used to be my subordinates, and they were equally superb riding."

Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction, thinking that it was true that six gold ingots fell from heaven and hit him on his head. He smiled and said, "Okay! It's true that he is a famous Wuxu scholar!"

Li Zhaohui added five companions to join the Hu Ben cavalry together, which means there are six more teachers, and each cavalry battalion just put two. This can greatly reduce the burden on Xie Youzhi. The combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion cannot be improved rapidly, and there are too few professional instructors, which is also a very important reason. Xie Zhiyou is unable to clone it!

However, there is no hurry now. Some things cannot be urgent. Li Zhaohui must be reused, but before reusing them, he must be let go. This is Zhang Zhun's usual employment strategy. No matter how capable you are, when you come to my Hu Ben Army, I will suppress you so that you can cherish this job. This is also the habitual thinking of time travelers in later generations.

Zhang Zhun said calmly: "You have to follow me to kill the Tartars. No matter who you are, as long as you have the courage to kill the Tartars, we welcome them. But now, I have more important things to leave to you six of you."

Li Zhaohui hurriedly said, "Sir, please give me instructions."

Zhang Zhun said slowly: "I don't know how many government troops escaped from Dengzhou City are scattered there. I want you to seize the time, gather them all together, and then take them to Huangxian. You tell them that no matter what they have done before, as long as they are willing to kill the Tartars, everything can be left unrestrained!"

Li Zhaohui said: "Okay!"

These official troops who escaped from Dengzhou City were obviously unwilling to surrender to the Tartars. If they could recruit these people, as long as they were educated a little, they would be good at dealing with the Tartars. This was also what Zhang Zhun valued. Skills were not important when dealing with the Tartars, courage and will were the most important. In addition, these people were familiar with Dongjiang Town and Dengzhou City, which was also beneficial to future battles.

Zhang Zhun said: "Be careful, don't use force means, they need to voluntarily. My troops, don't force people to come."

Li Zhaohui said: "I understand!"

Zhang Zhun nodded, waved to Lu Yidian over, and asked him to briefly introduce the various treatments and rules and regulations of the Hu Ben Army to Li Zhaohui.

After hearing this, Li Zhaohui was very excited and his yearning for the Hu Ben Army became a little more, and he said sternly: "Sir, I think they will definitely follow you."

Zhang Zhun said: "Okay! You guys hurry up and go!"

Li Zhaohui and others turned around and went.

Zhang Zhun arranged a war horse for each of them, so that the speed of action was faster. After all, others came from the Guanning Iron Cavalry. When they came to the Hu Ben Army, they didn’t even have a horse. Isn’t this too stingy?

Afterwards, Liu Shouzhu led the Jinyiwei to set off. According to Zhang Zhun's intention, they would be divided into multiple teams, respectively, to six places including Fushan, Ninghaizhou, Wendeng, Weihaiwei, Chengshanwei, and Jinghaiwei to convey oral instructions. The leaders of these six places should be asked to quickly come to Huangxian to meet Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Shenyan carefully explained the relevant matters. He has been an official for many years and is naturally very familiar with the affairs of the officialdom. All arrangements are foolproof. If Liu Shouzhu and others want to make contributions, they will go back to the capital as soon as possible, so they naturally dare not neglect and set off in the afternoon. Zhang Zhun also arranged a war horse for each of them to speed up their arrival at their destination.

Both groups of people arranged the affairs, so Zhang Zhun felt a little relieved. The Tartars had not arrived yet and had nothing to do for the time being. Suddenly, he heard the crying of a child in the backyard, but it was the little girl. He moved slightly inside and subconsciously came to the backyard, and happened to see Gao Hongtu coaxing the little girl to speak.

These two children are four years old and are already a little sensible. The little boy is only one year old and can't walk. The little girl is obviously not used to the environment in front of her. Seeing so many strangers, she is of course a little scared and is still crying there. No matter how Gao Hongtu coaxes, she can't coax it.

Zhang Zhun suddenly remembered that White Snake should have given birth at about this time. The damn Tartars launched an attack at this time. If there were no Tartars, he should be in Ziyuan now, waiting for the birth of the child.

At this moment, Sun Jiming outside shouted: "Who are you? Stop!"

Zhang Zhun stood up in confusion and heard Chen Lingfei's voice: "Zhang Zhun! Zhang Zhun! Come out quickly! Xiao You's child is born! Big fat girl! You are a father! You are a father!"

For a moment, Zhang Zhun felt his eyes moist.
