Chapter 342 Discovery of the Ministry of Security (Part 2)
Leader Zhang was originally from Dingbian County, Qingyang, Yan'an Prefecture, and was born as a constable. As for why he embarked on this path, as an official, his answer was quite surprising. He had only a simple sentence, "I can't survive anymore!"
This reason made his fellow villagers sneer at it. He was not the one who was arrogant and prosperous in his hometown. He lived a very pleasant life and lived much better than most ordinary people.
There may be only one reason: he already has a restless heart.
"The military advisor is waiting for a while. Today there is a distinguished guest. You need to help more, but I need to use your smart mind!"
Leader Zhang intimately took Cheng Yuansheng into the door and called the people to serve tea and snacks quickly. It seemed that he really regarded the only juren in his "uprising" team as a treasure, for fear of neglecting.
Cheng Yuansheng responded helplessly and thanked the other party for his attention, but when he saw the little girl who was trembling and following him, he said, "Chief, let this little girl go back first, it's not comfortable to see her here!"
"Of course, the military advisor's residence has been arranged. If you come, please take her down quickly!"
After giving the little girl a reassuring look, he sat down under the leader and asked, "Chief, is there any distinguished guest who needs you to be so serious?"
"The military advisor waited for a while. This was a distinguished guest from Beijing. You can't be slow!"
Leader Zhang was not willing to explain more, so he answered perfunctorily, and then he said nothing but a word.
"Report, the distinguished guest is here..." There was a loud shout outside the door.
Leader Zhang quickly stood up and called Cheng Yuansheng by the way. The two of them walked out quickly. They saw a large group of people standing outside the gate. The middle-aged man in the same juren costume was headed. His forehead was slightly raised, but he stood calmly, as if waiting for the greeting person to come.
"Mr. Zhang, welcome you to our remote countryside. I have worked hard all the way. Look, your surname is Zhang, so is me. Maybe he will be a family for five hundred years!" The enthusiasm of the leader Zhang compared Cheng Yuansheng with no sincerity, so he turned around and introduced: "This is a famous talent here. Cheng Yuansheng and Cheng Juren. I finally invited him back to be a military advisor. Everyone knows his own people, so be more intimate in the future!"
The distinguished guest Zhang Juren didn't care much about Cheng Yuansheng, who treated Cheng Yuansheng respectfully. He raised his head slightly to show that he already knew, and then he was welcomed into the door by Chief Zhang himself.
"Brothers, prepare something delicious and delicious for me. I will entertain guests tonight and take all the things I should take out!"
Leader Zhang seemed to be very happy, but his rough voice made the distinguished guest frown, but he seemed to have to bear it when he thought of something.
In the living room, she sat down in the main and secondary order. Zhang Guike spoke with a rare word and said, "The nobles in the capital are very satisfied with the results you have created. You also know that the little emperor is sending troops to come now. The weapons they are equipped with are not something you can resist. So this time I came here to hand you a batch of flintlock guns and artillery. I hope you can continue to work hard!"
"Good thing, good thing! Thank you, distinguished guest, I am also worried about the imperial army that will arrive soon. If there is no good equipment, I may really escape when I meet them!"
The surprise came a little suddenly. Leader Zhang jumped up from the chair. He did have this plan to fight the imperial army first. If his strength is not enough, he would run away directly. Of course, if the other party was too useless, it would be best.
Now that he has good weapons and equipment, his chances of winning have increased a lot.
"Captain Zhang, do you know your guilt!" The excited leader was startled by the sudden shout, turned around and looked at Zhang Guike who was staring with big eyes, a little at a loss.
"Mr. Zhang, I don't know what offended my leader. I hope he can forgive me and please indicate our mistakes!"
Cheng Yuansheng couldn't do nothing, so he immediately stood up and fisted. He turned around and winked at the helpless leader Zhang. The two of them who had just met for a while seemed to understand each other's meaning in a sympathetic moment.
"Brothers, bring up the gifts we prepared for Zhang Guike." The leader who reacted very quickly shouted outside the door, then lowered his eyebrows and said to Zhang Guike with a pleasing look: "Sir, please do not hesitate if I offend you. I just don't know where I made a mistake. Please indicate it!"
Zhang Guike, who heard that there was a gift, had slowed down his expression. When he saw five large boxes carrying in, they were opened, and after they were opened, they were golden and silver gold and silver coins, they could no longer keep their original angry expressions. They smiled rare and said, "You, why did you confiscate all the gentry that started to sponsor you? You are too much. If they were not them, you would not be the one you today. Moreover, their families had nephews in Beijing as officials, and they were subordinates valued by our nobles. Wouldn't you make it difficult for the nobles to do this?"
"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, it was their families! Zhang Guike, you don't know. I have always been following the instructions of the nobles in the capital, but after their families initially supported us, they kept telling us to go east and west, and they also asked the brothers to hand over all the wealth they had finally obtained to them. Everyone could accept it. But they wanted to ask them all. How could the brothers not be so popular? I haven't said that, the brothers spontaneously raided their houses. The responsibility lies with me. I have not supervised my subordinates well. Please forgive me, please forgive me. I also hope that you will say more good words to the nobles after returning to Beijing!"
Leader Zhang frequently bowed to show his apology.
"Since I have become a special envoy this time, I can only try my best to excuse you. Just find a few scapegoats to hand over to their families in Beijing, and I will solve the rest!" It seems that the Yanhuang coins are very effective, which makes the originally arrogant distinguished guests smile frequently, and they are even more willing to help him eliminate the disaster he has caused.
"Thank you, thank you, please. It seems that you will have to pay a lot of money to help you return to Beijing. Brothers, bring two more boxes to the guests!"
Chief Zhang's words made the distinguished guest smile. It seemed that he had to go on a walk. The harvest was worthy of the whole year. These bandits were rich and stupid like pigs. Don't he understand that his 100,000 rioters were his capital? Could it be that he would change his nobles in Beijing to lead this "rebel army"? It is a question whether they can convince the public at that time. Moreover, in this operation, the nobles in Beijing only began to support him, and the others were all snowballed by themselves.
The distinguished guest returned with satisfaction under the enthusiasm of the leader. The large number of weapons and equipment he brought to the "Units Army" greatly increased their combat power, and the little emperor's troubles would be even greater.
