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

Chapter 496: Those who steal a hook will be executed, those who steal a country will be made marquises! Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom!

"Humph! You actually used such a despicable trick. My brother and I must not use such a method, otherwise we won't be able to gather people's hearts!"

Under the sky, the time and space at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who were preparing for an uprising, shook their heads. Although the Marshal's methods were useful, they were too corrupting of his character.

You, the official, are colluding with the bandits to oppress the people. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this. Not all people in the world are fools!
Marshal Zhang himself naturally could not hear the sounds from other times and spaces. At this moment he was still patrolling the mountain stronghold, immersed in the flattery of his own title of "Marshal", having the illusion of being in peace in the green forest.

[“Marshal, you are this! Our Hu Zi has transformed into a government soldier!”]

Some bandits came up and gave Marshal Zhang a thumbs-up, which made him feel even more heroic and gave him the illusion that he owned the world.

But his handsomeness didn't last more than three seconds. The next moment, a thunderous curse came from the foot of the mountain.

[“Zhang Zuolin! Get out here!”]

Marshal Zhang, the "old lump" who was famous among the green forest and admired by thousands of bearded men, shrank his head at this moment, with a hint of fear on his face.

[“Are you going to stay in the mountains as a bandit for the rest of your life? And let us mother and daughter bear your infamy for the rest of our lives? All the sage books you have learned over the years have gone to waste!”]

This is Marshal Zhang's first wife, the daughter of the landlord Zhao family. She has the fierceness of a Northeastern woman. Looking at the brothers around him with sharp eyes, Zhang Zuolin suddenly realized something.

[“It’s my old self who is sorry for everyone!”]

He apologized promptly and bowed to everyone. Until later, many of the brothers present didn't know whether the Marshal was acting that day or was sincere.

But since then, all the voices of opposition have disappeared. Everyone feels that they cannot continue to degenerate and that they cannot remain bandits for long!
As a result, there was peace and harmony within Marshal Zhang's jurisdiction, there was no more bullying, and the bandits who once ran rampant disappeared.

After a few years, Marshal Zhang, who was once respected and feared by everyone, became a hero known far and wide. Everyone thought he was the local patron saint and was well-known in his hometown.

"Not bad, not bad. This kid has broadened his horizons."

Dao Zhi nodded, looking at the commander in the video, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

There is no need to be so particular about being a bandit. As long as you can turn over a new leaf, it will be considered a great achievement.

Many heroes on Liangshan, including Song Jiang, have an inexplicable liking for the commander in the video.

On the one hand, it was because he was truly a man of great righteousness who sought benefits for his brothers and allowed the bandits to become official soldiers and eat a share of the emperor's food.

On the other hand, it was also because he really did something for the people.

A gentleman does not care about his heart when discussing his deeds. There is no perfect person in the world when it comes to his heart.

No matter what Marshal Zhang was thinking, he finally managed to keep one side safe.

[“Fuck it, it’s fine that these foreign devils come to bully us, but why do those short Japanese mules come here to show off their power? Just because they won a battle, the imperial court doesn’t dare to fight anymore?!”]

As time passes in the picture, the once heroic young bandit leader turns into a steady middle-aged man. However, the hostility on his face has never dissipated, but has become more severe.

Because the more you understand the rules that govern this world, the more you will understand the meaning of "the world is just a huge makeshift team."

Dai Qing has reached the end of his rope. Any country can shit on his head, even the Japanese in the east can step on him.

[“Yuting! Don’t be angry. This time Japan and the Russian bear are at war! The Qing Dynasty and I are a neutral country and can’t hit us!”] Marshal Zhang’s name became more and more famous. Few people called him by his name anymore. Instead, they called him by his courtesy name.

[“How can you claim neutrality when someone else is fighting on your own land? I think this court is playing tricks!”]

After hearing Marshal Zhang's treasonous remarks, the people on the opposite side did not change their expressions. Instead, they nodded in agreement. Everyone could feel that the court was about to be finished.

In order to make a living, this person set his sights on Marshal Zhang.

[“I heard that there is a faction in the south that is causing quite a stir. Brother should have made plans early…”]

Needless to say, Zhang Zuolin had already thought of a countermeasure.

His property and prestige are all here, and he absolutely cannot leave, so he came forward to help when the Russian and Japanese troops were approaching.

If their main force leaves, they will turn against us and simply seize the donated funds, which is like banditry.

Unfortunately, neither country can take action yet. They need to rely on local tyrants to clean up hidden spies, clear battlefields within their borders, and even gather intelligence on the enemy.

"Hahaha, isn't this our style?"

Three Kingdoms, Gan Ning patted his thigh, pointed at Zhang Zuolin on the sky and said loudly.

There are numerous pirates on the Taihu Lake and the Yangtze River, but I have never seen any of them that were hated so much by the government that they were directly arrested.

Ultimately, it was because Gan Ning worked part-time as a war fog map pusher, stationed on the war border and providing intelligence to the military camps of all parties.

If you are good at this kind of business, you can accumulate a lot of capital. Gan Ning accumulated the foundation and wealth of a wealthy family in just a few years.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to escape unscathed!"

Looking at Marshal Zhang in the video, he murmured.

However, the other party did not disappoint him. During the two years from the war between the two countries to its complete end, Marshal Zhang protected the country and the people and did not neglect his job.

He also found time to lead cavalry to support various battlefields, plunder and extort military equipment and supplies, and annex various horse farms and gangs (mountain bandit dens), and his influence reached all over the three provinces.

He had the nickname "King of the Northeast", and after another battle, the government saw that he had great power and took the initiative to win him over, granting him the position of battalion commander!

If it were a few decades ago, this would have been a matter of glory for the family, but now, Zhang Zuolin just found it funny, and his eyes were fixed on the emerging force in the south!
In 1911, with the news of the uprising of the southern forces coming, and the mutual buck-passing among various places, he suddenly stood up, looked at the men around him, and said loudly:

[“Fuck you, I’ve finally waited this long! Raise the five-colored flags and let’s rebel against the fucking Qing!”]

The brothers around him had already been impressed by him, so naturally they had no objection and cheered. They believed that under the leadership of the Marshal, they would be able to do better.

So, the Marshal raised his arm and called for help, and the three provinces followed him. The letter of commission from the south also arrived as promised, making the brothers who followed him feel that the Marshal was very powerful.

After ten years of hard work, Zhang Zuolin looked up at the sky. He had finally built up a fortune. He stood on the top of Fengtian City and overlooked the black soil.

[“Although I don’t have much ability, I still have the energy to protect the three provinces and make sure your wives don’t have to worry about anything!”]

As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds in the sky faded away, and everyone believed him. In the northeast, a thin black figure, the uncrowned king ascended the throne.
