Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 255 Punishes the bully severely, Zhang Cheng makes Yuan Ting feel terrible!
After Zhang Mingjian vomited blood, he could no longer stand firm and had to be carried back.

"Those who care about people's lives will not be rewarded, so they will be possessed by wronged spirits and easily fall prey to evil spirits!"

"Yes, I really don't know how many lonely ghosts are waiting to take his life."

"Then he deserves it! For a person who treats the people like this, being killed is only an advantage to him. His body should be whipped and his flesh divided after his death!"

……

The wealthy gentry knew that the meticulous work of the Datong Society's Guards Department was everywhere, so after learning that the Datong Society was going to send armed forces to this area, they all openly and actively proved to the villagers how upright and capable they were. I hate butchers like Zhang Mingjian who treat the common people as nothing.

Seeing that Zhang Mingjian was so angry, these wealthy gentry continued to sneer at Zhang Mingjian.

Therefore, when Zhang Mingjian was vomiting blood and being carried away, he still heard the accusations and curses from the surrounding wealthy gentry.

Zhang Mingjian's face turned even paler for a moment, and he raised his hand helplessly and pointed at these people: "You, you guys."

However, Zhang Mingjian was speechless now.

But soon, some wealthy gentry, it would definitely be a sin to remain silent at this time, so they still shouted:
"Nonsense! The Datong Society will only make the people more virtuous and knowledgeable by opening up the people's wisdom, and will make thieves disappear. How can they all become unruly people?!"

Zhang Mingli asked.

"Besides, where are there any unruly people in this world?"

"That's enough for you! Do you have to scold my brother to death? Are you really so willing to see the Datong thieves turning the people of the world into unruly people?!"

"If there are unruly people, there must be bullies first and then there are unruly people!"

Even if they don't like this political system.

These wealthy gentry also reacted and continued to refute Zhang Mingli.

Only Zhang Mingjian's younger brother Zhang Mingli could not help but look back at these wealthy gentry with tears in his eyes:

This is what most landowners are really like.

Zhang Mingli had nothing to say, he could only grit his teeth and cry secretly.

Many wealthy gentry were silent for a moment.

Zhang Mingjian became even paler with anger, shed tears at the same time, and began to lament the cowardice of these people.

Therefore, they will sacrifice everything for stability, including sacrificing their likes, dislikes, dignity, and even their own political opinions. There are landlords who like stability extremely and are even willing to sacrifice their own economic interests for stability.

"That's right! You bullies should stop confusing right and wrong here and wantonly slandering the people of the world!"

No matter how cruel they are in front of the people, they will be cowardly and flattering in front of the most violent political system.

however.

At this time, Datong Society's inspection team was already beginning to liquidate particularly opposed and extreme landlords like Zhang Mingjian in various parts of Huaiyang.

"According to our Datong Society's public trial regulations, hang them from the roof beams and interrogate them properly!"

Therefore, these wealthy gentry will decisively choose to sacrifice and betray landlords like Zhang Mingjian when the people who affect their stability are mainly reactionary and extreme landlords like Zhang Mingjian.

"Once bullies like you are gone, there will be no more unruly people!"

But as the main ruling class in a farming society, they naturally believe that stability is more important than anything else.

"Copy out all their land and house deeds!"

In Xinghua County, Huaiyang, Hui Yunxiao, a reactionary landlord like Zhang Mingjian, who was retaliating against the Datong Society and ordinary people, was hanged from the roof beam by Hu Tingmei, the commander of the inspection team of the Datong Society who came armed with live ammunition. under trial.

Hui Yunxiao's face was pale at this time, his whole body was trembling, he felt extremely aggrieved, and he no longer had any domineering air.

Those who don’t know him have no idea that he owes the lives of hundreds of innocent people.

After the public trial, Hui Yunxiao was shot on the spot together with other people who were tried.

Their children were trembling with fear when they saw this and did not dare to say anything.

Because although the inspection working group sent by Datong Society is just called a working group, it is actually the army.

It was only because it had civilian personnel and an army that was temporarily in charge of civil affairs and justice that the name was changed.

Since Zhang Shicheng issued an order to support the inspection team of Datong Society to eliminate Han bandits and maintain security along the railway, the local troops under Zhang Shicheng did not dare to do anything to the inspection team of Datong Society. Of course, they could not control the inspection team of Datong Society. How about the inspection working group?

After all, the current combat effectiveness of Datong Society's officers and soldiers is too strong, and they can mobilize widespread mass support.

Therefore, these armies, not to mention Zhang Shicheng not letting them offend Datong Society, even if Zhang Shicheng asked them to offend Datong Society, they could only obey and disobey.

Now because Zhang Shicheng still supports the inspection team of Datong Society, Zhang Shicheng's officers and soldiers have even taken the initiative to assist the inspection team of Datong Society.

This also left the stubbornly opposed landowners very isolated and helpless, and basically had no choice but to be wiped out.

Many wealthy gentry even directly changed their attitude and began to support Datong Society.

Just like the neighboring wealthy gentry where Zhang Mingjian was located took the initiative to surround Zhang Mingjian's people.

Because Zhang Mingjian was besieged by volunteers sent by the wealthy gentry in advance, and Zhang Shicheng also sided with the Datong Society, he asked local officers and soldiers to cooperate with the Datong Society in besieging Zhang Mingjian. Therefore, it didn't take long before Zhang Mingjian was easily captured. It was handed over to the inspection team of Datong Society and was then escorted and hung under the roof beam. "Zhang Mingjian, you tricked and killed people, did you ever think that you would be like this?"

People from Datong Society asked him about it.

Zhang Mingjian smiled coldly and said nothing.

When the local squire on the side saw this, he first asked Zhang Mingjian:

"Speak! You have made this place empty, and every house has no one. Don't you have any regrets?!"

"Shut up!"

"If you people weren't too weak, why would these Datong thieves become so rampant now?!"

"Sooner or later you will regret it, you will regret it!"

Zhang Mingjian shouted at the squire instead, and kept roaring angrily.

Then, Zhang Mingjian still cried weakly and said with a sad face: "What a sin! The Datong thieves are really a sin!"

And the squire said nothing.

Zhang Mingjian himself was eventually dismissed from the market.

Many of his descendants were also shot for participating in the killing of people.

Naturally, all his family property was confiscated.

While Zhang Mingjian and other stubborn reactionary landlords were being wiped out, Zhu Wenzheng also led the main force into Shandong to fight against Zhang Shide's troops.

Zhang Shide did not go out to fight, but after reading what Zhang Shicheng and the literati and officials had said in the "China News", reprimanding him for betraying his ancestors and betraying the Han family, he twisted his face and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone rebels against loyalty and actually talks about the idea of ​​great harmony as the true way of a saint. In the eyes of shameless people like Liu Bowen and Song Lian, whoever has the toughest fist is the way of a saint!"

"Yes!"

"These people indeed recognize the way of saints in this way."

"But it's a pity that we are not as strong as the Datong thief now! That Zhang Cheng is really powerful!"

Xu Youwen continued talking with a depressed expression, and then added:
"First, he is very good at recognizing people. He unexpectedly found a young man like Zhu Yuanzhang who was so determined and didn't care about personal fame and fortune, but only wanted to be practical and capable of leading troops!"

"Second, he is very knowledgeable. His books really enlighten people's wisdom. They are different from the sage scriptures we read. The sage scriptures teach people to uphold benevolence and cultivate their moral integrity. Therefore, those who read the books he gave them will be able to become officials. Those who are better at being officials are better at leading soldiers, and even craftsmen are better at making weapons!"

"Third, his methods are powerful. Others only kill people, but he kills people with heartache!"

"Then what should we do?"

Zhang Shide couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

"Go back to Jining and see Zuo Cheng!"

Xu Youwen replied helplessly, and then said:

"I thought that the Datong bandits' use of troops in Fujian was an opportunity for us to drive out the Datong bandits for the imperial court to seize Huaiyang, but the fact is that the Datong bandits have already manipulated Huaiyang like a bag to get things. All of this is certainly related to your brother's timidity. But isn’t it related to Zhang Cheng’s far-reaching plan and his use of various means to control Huaiyang?”

Zhang Shide nodded.

Tai Feiyin was also quite disappointed when Zhang Shide and Xu Youwen came back and learned from them that Datong Society had sent troops to help Zhang Shicheng, making it impossible for the Yuan Dynasty to regain Huaiyang.

And because of this.

Tai Feiyin couldn't help gritting his teeth: "What a Zhang Cheng! If he was willing to be used by my Dayuan, I'm afraid my Dayuan would have been revived long ago, instead of getting worse and worse like today!"

"It's a pity that this person refuses to be used by my Great Yuan, but he keeps ruining the world!"

Tai Feiyin felt sorry for his talent for a moment, and even asked to himself: "Is the difference between Hua and Yi really that important in his eyes?!"

"Yes, this Zhang Cheng saved the lives of many Han people. Now in Huaiyang, because of his advance layout, many Han people in Huaiyang have been saved in large numbers because we failed to move south successfully."

"It shows that this person is really good at protecting the people!"

"But he doesn't want to be my official official in the Great Yuan Dynasty."

Hama, who had specially come to Shandong with an order to inquire about Zhang Shide's southern expedition and had become Prime Minister of the Left, sighed at this time.

Tai Feiyin nodded and continued: "What is even more puzzling is that this person does not want to be an orthodox official of our Great Yuan Dynasty. He is not willing to establish himself as an emperor, but he is obsessed with changing the world's imperial system. "

Hama nodded and couldn't help but frown and said in deep thought:

"If you don't want to be a minister, you can be a king, but this person didn't choose! It seems that he wants to be a saint! A saint like Confucius and Mencius!"

When Hama said this, he waved his hand and said: "No matter what, I will report it to Your Majesty and say that the southern expedition to Huaiyang is over, because Zhang Shicheng has actually become the puppet of the thief Datong!"

After receiving the memorial from Tai Fei Yin, Emperor Yuan Shun also frowned and asked Grand Master Wang Jianu:
"This Zhang Cheng, he actually let Zhang Shicheng be at his mercy! But I gave Zhang Shicheng such kindness that I was willing to give him a prince title, but the result was not as good as Zhang Cheng giving him Zhang Shicheng a business and a railway. Qing said this is Why, why is this?”

"Is it true that I, the prince of Dayuan, am not worth the sweetness that Zhang Cheng gave me?"
