The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 495: Training at Xiaozhan! Bandits can also become government troops! Song Jiang: We can still play this way!
【“Yuting?”】

The child pondered over the name and felt that it had a bit of a rotten, old-time flavor and was not handsome at all, so he asked the teacher to pick another one.

The teacher was not angry and asked him about his ambitions cheerfully.

[“It will be the Waking of Insects in a few days. My father said that spring thunder is the loudest. When I grow up, I want to be the loudest one!”]

Looking at the child who said such shocking words, the private school teacher seemed to have grasped something and said casually:
[“Then your name should be Zhang Zuolin, with the courtesy name Yuting!”]

Old lump, oh no, the child who was renamed Zhang Zuolin, although he could not write his own name yet, felt that it fits perfectly and was therefore beaming with joy.

The private school teacher even accepted his admission and agreed to let him study in the school.

It has to be said that although Zhang Youcai is just a fisherman, he has some knowledge of gambling and can often earn income.

With this ability, Yuting's schooling was guaranteed, and the days went on like this.

However, viewers outside the video understood that according to Tianmu’s usual pattern, an accident would happen soon if nothing unexpected happened.

"The young man has great ambitions and can go to school. All he needs is an opportunity."

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and sighed.

No one who has built his or her life from scratch has achieved success overnight. Only the greatest suffering can forge a hero who is not afraid of the test of fire.

Sure enough, his worries soon came true.

A few years passed and Zhang Yuting grew into a big man. Although most people still called him by his name and called him "Old Lump", he was still a tough guy after all.

The bad thing was that Zhang Youcai gambled with the wrong people this time. Some of these nobles had very bad tempers and if they provoked them, people would die. As a result, Zhang Youcai died.

Zhang Zuolin was instantly enraged when he heard the news that he was beaten to death in the casino. Most of the men born in Fengtian knew some martial arts skills.

As he grew up, he either beat others or was beaten, and he happened to be the type who beat others.

【“Second brother!”】

He looked at his second brother, and his second brother looked at him. The two brothers did not say much, and everything was on the edge of a knife!
That day, the nobleman died on the way home. The second brother was arrested in order to protect him. The whole town was in chaos, and they had already sent their families away.

The world is so big, and he is already alone.

[“No matter what, I have to make a name for myself. Damn it, I can’t let others look down on me!”]

After saying these words to his hometown where he had stayed for more than ten years, Zhang Zuolin embarked on his adventure.

He had worked in all 360 trades and even worked as an apprentice in an accountant because he could read a few words. However, he succeeded in these jobs too late.

There is only one way to achieve success quickly!
[“A good man should be loyal to his emperor and patriotic. Japan brazenly sent troops to invade our vassal state. It’s time to teach them a lesson!”]

Listening to the passionate words of the recruiting officer above, Zhang Zuolin's eyes also flashed with fire.

Especially when I heard the reward that person offered, that was a lot of money!

Mad, do it!
"Hahaha! This guy must have made great contributions in the fight against the Japanese invaders. The small country of Japan actually dared to invade our territory repeatedly. It really deserves to die!"

Emperor Wanli Zhu Zaiyu patted the table with a smile on his face. When he launched the war against Japanese pirates, the court officials did not agree. What about now?
His general Li Chengliang was able to take care of those guys by himself, and I think it was the same in the video. As for the Japanese country, many princes and generals in front of the screen did not take it seriously, believing that as long as the Central Plains Dynasty was serious, it would never lose.

Even Qi Jiguang's face showed an eagerness to fight, wanting to see what was so desirable about Japan a hundred years later.

As a result, the war in the video was beyond everyone's imagination.

[The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 broke out simultaneously on land and at sea. Needless to say, the naval battle was the only one in which the entire Beiyang Fleet was annihilated, and the Qing Dynasty finally revealed its weakness.]

[On the battlefield of the peninsula, although the newly trained soldiers also achieved some impressive results, they were ultimately not as good as the fully reformed Japanese army.]

[“It was the first time I saw such a horrific scene. So many people fell down like wheat being cut, just like small fish in the sea being swallowed by sharks.”]

For the first time, Zhang Zuolin questioned his decision, but it was too late for him to mourn because they had failed and there was nothing he could do but run.

At this time, the talents of the Northeastern men were clearly revealed. They could walk through the mountains and forests as if they were flat land, and even joined some of their superiors' teams along the way.

As a result, he was promoted from a private to a low-level officer and had a clean official status.

[“It turns out that being an official doesn’t require you to have strong abilities, you just need your superiors to think you are useful!”]

He touched his newly issued military uniform with a silly smile on his face. This was his first time to taste the power, it was so delicious!

He decided that he must not let anyone take away this power!
Later, he heard that the imperial court had negotiated peace with Japan. He didn't know what the specific price was, but he understood that the annual taxes had increased a lot.

[“If the increase continues, I’m afraid the people won’t be able to survive.”]

He came from a low-income family and could see the tension that was spreading around Fengtian, so he volunteered to form a local militia.

Pay for your own expenses, train your own troops, and don't cause trouble for the court!
Upon hearing of such a good idea, the local government readily agreed and gave him the title of militia commander. As for where the money for training would come from, wasn't it thanks to the fellow villagers and gentry who cherished him?

Officially, he was a militia coach and a former war hero, but among the green forest, he was the "old lump" who was known by word of mouth among the bearded men and killed people everywhere.

There were hundreds of cavalrymen under his command, who moved as fast as the wind. They were galloping and could not stop for thousands of miles.

If any family fails to pay the protection fee in full, your business will be unstable and your tenants will not be able to farm. You will then have to pay double the money.

【As a result, Zhang Zuolin's reputation became more and more famous in both the black and white worlds, and he was gradually known as "Marshal Zhang, who is eager to help others and is righteous."】

"Wanting to help the public? Humph! Even thieves have their own code of conduct. Although this man did not rob houses, he was also one of those who colluded with officials and bandits and had his own army. I, Dao Zhi, am ashamed to be associated with him!"

During the Warring States Period, the notorious thief Dao Zhi, who was hiding in Pengze, was still thinking about where he should take his brothers to eat at a wealthy family's house when he saw Marshal Zhang above the sky.

I really hated him so much that my teeth were itching. He was the ancestor of the righteous bandits, the one who truly fought for the lives of the common people and killed the corrupt to save the people.

Anyone can try to take advantage of his reputation as a thief these days?

Gan Ning and Gan Xingba from the Three Kingdoms period also felt unhappy!

He was also a big bandit who caused trouble on the river, and those he robbed were all big shots like provincial governors, prefects and even provincial governors.

He really looked down on Marshal Zhang's petty tricks. It was too petty!
