Chapter 327

It is very difficult to establish a good reputation for a person. Not only do you have to do good deeds in a real way, but you also need someone to publicize it for you, and you must be able to publicize it yourself.

But it would be too easy to tarnish a person's reputation, especially for someone like Wang Zhenjiang who was already dirty.

The reason why his rotten egg is still not rotten is that it doesn't look so rotten compared to a group of martial lunatics who have no lower limit.

Zhang Zhao equipped himself with a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he improved the image of the Guiyi Army, and on the other hand, he found the black spot of General Wang Zhen and began to expand it.

The best way to enhance the image of the Guiyi Army is the military discipline of the army.

So the residents of Weizhou who were still in shock discovered that these Guiyi soldiers who had entered Weizhou City had good military discipline and they couldn't believe it.

Zhang Zhao borrowed from the phrase, "Killing a person is like killing my father, and adultery is like adultery with my mother." 'Not casually.

The Guiyi army entered the city for three days, but they didn't kill a single person, no!It should be said that he didn't even beat others for no reason, let alone rape or plunder, and maintained an excellent attitude overall.

On the first day they entered the city, the soldiers of the Guiyi Army took the initiative to help the residents affected by the fire to repair their houses, arrested more than a dozen criminals who took the opportunity to make trouble and steal, and released all the soldiers in the city after disarming them. went back.

On the second day, a pot was set up at the intersection. Those who were poor at home and could not buy rice because of the war, or had no money to buy rice, could receive a large bowl of millet rice and a little pickle for their lives.

At the beginning, no one dared to come, but gradually, some people really couldn't bear the hunger and chose to venture out, but in the end they found out that this was really saving food and saving lives, without any conspiracy.

After a morning of eating, in the afternoon, the residents who felt that there was no danger began to go out one after another, trying to recover and produce life.

On the third day, the market basically recovered, and the residents of Weizhou City began to go out normally after discovering that the soldiers of the Guiyi Army were really friendly.

In the morning, the men looking for work came out, and they had to go to farm outside the city. In the afternoon, women also dared to take to the streets. Small vendors, food stores and drug stores in the city opened their doors on their own.

On the fourth day, the children dared to laugh and play outside the barracks, and they also liked to play outside the camp gate.

Because the soldiers of the Guiyi Army who can leave the camp to rest, sometimes when they are in a good mood, they will give them some snacks.

Of course, soldiers are generally reluctant, and the soldiers who give snacks to children are all arranged by Zhang Zhao.

. . . .

Opposite the Weizhou Prefecture Government Office, there is a large open space. This was originally the seat of the Pingliang County School, but after the county school was destroyed in the war, it was not rebuilt. Anyway, there are not many scholars here.

But today, Zhang Zhao ordered people to set up a high platform here.

On the stage, there are musicians with gongs and other drum accompaniment, a storyteller with a loud voice, and several 'actors' in gorgeous clothes.

I have to say that the spread of information in this era is really slow. The Complete Biography of the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty in Liangzhou has become the top traffic in society. Three-year-old children can name a large part of them, but in hundreds of In and out of Weizhou, no one has ever heard of it.

But it doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it, this kind of novel that is happy to hear and has traveled through hundreds of years has captured the hearts of all Weizhou people in an instant.

From the storyteller's first talk, it only took a quarter of an hour, after which the table was completely surrounded.

Guo Tiance nodded in satisfaction, grabbed the clerk who was in charge of storytellers and said, "I will only talk about the biography of heroes once in the afternoon, and the rest will be about Zhang Taibao's restoration of Hexi and Buddha's descendant Sun Chengzuye."

The so-called Zhang Taibao's restoration of Hexi and the Buddha's lower realm Sun Chengzuye are two stories newly compiled by the Secretary of Hexi Jiedu Envoy, that is, the political propaganda room directly managed by Guo Tiance.

This is a combination of storytelling and performance, two programs similar to the sketches of later generations.

Zhang Taibao's restoration of Hexi is very simple. It tells the story of Zhang Zhao's great-grandfather, Zhang Yichao, who was determined to overthrow the tyranny of Tubo at the age of 48, and returned the eleven prefectures of Hexi to his homeland. .

There are actually two stories about the grandson inheriting the ancestral business from the Buddha's lower realm.

The former is to give Zhang Sikong a ring of halo, saying that he is a god in the sky and a Buddha in the lower realm, and he also went to the place where the Buddha attained enlightenment in Lingjiu Mountain in Tianzhu to practice, and was revered as a Dharma King and Bodhisattva by monks and laymen in Hexi.

The latter is that Zhang Zhao has little ambition. Although his family business has been ruined since he was born, he is not discouraged. He secretly learns the art of war and strategy, and masters martial arts. The people vented their anger and finally regained their ancestral property.

At the very beginning, Guo Tiance and others were not very interested in this set, thinking that it was meaningless to get the territory right away.

But later I found out that the effect was surprisingly good. When Murong Nobunaga went to take over Shandong Tuyuhun Trilogy, when people heard that they were submitting to Zhang Bodhisattva, they came to vote one after another.

But in Weizhou, the focus this time is still on Zhang Zhao beating up the bully and venting his anger for the people.

That's right!Zhang Zhao had already reserved the title of bully for General Wang.

Zhang Rongbao found a place closest to the table, and brought a polished tree stump with him, which was just for sitting on and saving his energy.

His ancestors all lived in the city of Weizhou. It is said that his ancestors were also officials who were officials, but by his generation they had already lost.

When I was young, I mentioned a mother-in-law and aunt, but she disappeared before going through the door. It was indeed gone, and I couldn't find it after looking for it for many years.

Some people said that it fell into the water and was washed away, and some said that it was eaten by big insects, but it was gone anyway.

After more than ten years, Zhang Rongbao is still alone. After his mother-in-law and aunt disappeared, he was completely discouraged.

The last few acres of land in the family were also sold to the Wang family, and I myself relied on doing part-time jobs for the Wang family.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Why are you talking about this? Who is this Taibao? Shouldn't it be said that Qin Qiong sells horses?"

As a result, I just sat down on my little stool and finally waited for the storyteller to start, but what I said turned out to be different from what I said in the morning.

But he muttered a few words, but no one paid any attention to him, Zhang Rongbao was used to it, anyway, no one listened to what he said, now people are wasting saliva to tell him stories, he has no right to choose, right?
But after listening to it, Zhang Rongbao felt that the story of the Taibao was quite good, and it was from his own family.

When he heard that Zhang Taibao forty-eight had raised troops to beat the Tubo people away, Zhang Rongbao was both ashamed and yearning, as if he wanted to live such a vigorous life, so that he would not be in vain in this world.

At the end of the hearing, everyone understood that this Taibao was the great-grandfather of Zhang Sikong who just entered the city a few days ago. From this point of view, Zhang Sikong is the descendant of the loyal minister!

All of a sudden, these Weizhou people's affection for Zhang Zhao went up to a new level. China has had the custom of worshiping loyal ministers since ancient times.

At the same time, the Weizhou people also had a preliminary understanding of the history of the Guiyi Army in Hexi falling to Huchen for more than a hundred years.

Behind Zhang Rongbao, Old Master Guo tremblingly cupped his hands to the Empress, "50 years old, I still remember to wear my hair on the right lapel, and I still worry about returning home. Zhang Taibao and Zhang Sikong's grandparents are really heroes!"

"One hundred and fifty years, the generations of grandparents and grandchildren have never changed their resolve, and they are indeed a model of loyal ministers and righteous men. No wonder the soldiers of the Guiyi Army in the city have strict military discipline and are truly loyal and righteous teachers!" A small official of the state government office also stood up and praised .

For a while, there were heartfelt praises and exclamations of reverence everywhere. Zhang Rongbao also nodded, thinking that these Hexi people were really not easy. They were enslaved by the Tubo people, and the court didn't care about them, and they had to rise up to resist .

Finally returned to the country, but it didn't end well, but people just didn't forget Tang'er's identity, Zhang Taibao was gone, and Zhang Sikong continued to lead the people to find the way back to the country.

The storyteller on the stage was still going on, listening and watching, Zhang Rongbao seemed to be touched by something in his heart.

It turns out that bullies are deliberately colluding with tax collectors and urging autumn taxes to be paid when there is no autumn harvest, so as to force farmers to owe interest.

After the autumn harvest, the farmers did not keep even a grain of grain, but it was still not enough to repay the debts. The bullies took this opportunity to take the farmers' land to pay off the debts, and took all kinds of tricks to bully men and women.

Suddenly, a short and sturdy figure jumped onto the stage, and everyone was shocked. A few Guiyi soldiers who were in charge of maintaining order were about to step forward, when the short and sturdy figure burst into tears.

"Xiaomin has a grievance! Please Zhang Sikong to avenge XX!" The short and sturdy figure shouted, while lifting the yellow paper in his hand above his head.

"Xiaomin wants to sue Wang Sanguan. Three years ago, Wang Sanguan deceived my father to be illiterate. We obviously only borrowed three pennies from him, which was written as 53 pennies. If we couldn't pay back, they took away my second son. Ten acres of land to repay the debt!"

"Isn't this the idiot of the Li family? But it seems to be true, Wang Sanguan did take away [-] acres of good land from their family!

This is fatal!He is still living in the army, offended Wang Sanguan, why should he be beaten to death for a reason? "

Someone recognized the silly boy who came to complain, and sighed in disbelief.

Wang Sanguan is the nephew of General Wang Zhen. He is a team leader in the army. It is not certain that he will not be avenged.

While the audience was puzzled, another person jumped onto the stage, and it was Li Huochang, who also held up a paper of complaint and howled.

"I want to sue General Wang Zhen. Ten years ago, he kidnapped my elder sister as a slave. She died of illness six years ago, and I didn't even see her body. I beg Sikong to make the decision for me!"

Zhang Rongbao stood up abruptly. He looked at Li Huochang on the stage in disbelief. It turned out that Li Huochang's elder sister was Zhang Rongbao's aunt who disappeared before entering the house.

For a moment, Zhang Rongbao only felt a surge of hot blood rushing to the top of his head, so that others were in a daze.

"Li Erlang! Didn't you say that your elder sister is missing? You clearly know, why didn't you tell someone?"

Li Huochang looked at Zhang Rongbao, with a look of shame on his face, "Father said that the Wang family is very powerful, so I won't tell you, we were beaten up when we went to ask for someone. If you go to ask for someone, don't let the Wang family beat you to death!"

"Ah!" Zhang Rongbao screamed, collapsed on the high platform and began to cry.

"How did this happen? Wang Shouye, I'm going to marry your mother! Officer Sikong, you have to make decisions for the little people!"

Zhang Rongbao's mother-in-law, who had never been in the family, was already inseparable from him before she disappeared.

When he disappeared, Zhang Rongbao seemed to have lost his soul. In addition, his parents died of illness one after another, Zhang Rongbao was directly depressed.

After burying his parents, he traveled all over the surrounding states and counties just to find out about his sweetheart Mrs. Li. dawdle.

At this moment, Zhang Rongbao's inner grievances and remorse, as well as his longing for his first love, erupted like a mountain and lake tsunami.

If it weren't for this incident, he would have been a promising young man back then. He had a good gun and stick from a famous teacher. , everything is destroyed.

However, he didn't see the wry smile and embarrassment that flickered on Li Huochang's face. His elder sister, Mrs. Li, was indeed kidnapped by General Wang Zhen to serve as a bed warmer.

However, the money was given, and his father later agreed, so he had to hide it from Zhang Rongbao.

Following Zhang Rongbao's crying, people kept jumping onto the stage, some with complaints in their hands, and those without complaints, together with Zhang Rongbao, dragged their families and began to cry.

The people who listened to the book below were a little confused. Two days ago, everyone said that General Wang Zhen saved everyone and wanted to pray for General Wang Zhen in front of the gods and Buddhas. Why did so many people sue General Wang Zhen at this very moment?

But then, there were some people who had been bullied by General Wang Zhen or his family, and there was a faint desire in their hearts, hoping that General Wang Zhen would be unlucky.

It's just that they are not sure, this Sikong will really stand up for them?Won't officials protect each other?
Of course, they didn't even notice that these people who came up to complain were basically soldiers or relatives of soldiers who had been on duty at the West Gate.

 The third update has [-] words, and there will be another update tonight.
