The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 350 Liaoping Mansion

Riding on the horse, Zhu Jinzhang and his party headed south quickly, and he was going back to Liaoping Fucheng.

Now this prefecture city is his base camp, and most of the people have also been moved here by him.

With the expansion of the territory, the difficulty of governance has also risen sharply.

In addition to the lack of talents, there is also the barrier of zombies, and the need to feed [-] mouths, and the last one is also the most stressful for him.

Zhu Jinzhang couldn't understand the importance of spring plowing, but he was still persuaded by Zhang Ziming.

But he has already made up his mind that after taking Baishan County, he will no longer open up to the outside world this year, but will seriously manage his own territory.

In fact, there are many ways to solve the problem. For example, someone suggested that Zhu Jinzhang should surrender directly to Zhao Yanxun.

In this way, they can be attributed to the imperial court system, changing from a "separatist regime" force to an imperial court official.

The price of rebellion is huge, and the road ahead is bumpy. It is perfectly normal for someone to jump out and make a "recruitment".

Regarding this, Zhu Jinzhang did not stop it on the spot, but asked his subordinates to discuss strategies and express their opinions.

In the end, after half a month, the dust settled, and Zhu Jinzhang beheaded all those who proposed to surrender.

Zhu Jinzhang never thought about surrendering to the imperial court from the beginning to the end.

After all, he not only killed court officials, but also killed King Xingyuan and his family, which is a heinous crime.

Others may have preferential treatment if they surrender, but he must die if he surrenders.

Even if he could be exonerated, Zhu Jinzhang would not consider surrendering.

A man does not eat for the five tripods, and he should cook for the five tripods when he dies. In today's troubled times, it is a good opportunity for Zhu Jinzhang to start a career.

And this King Yong is the first stepping stone on his way to rise... Thinking of this, Zhu Jinzhang's expression became more determined.

Except for Zhu Xiaoyong who led [-] troops to stay in Yansi County, everyone else was brought back to Liaoping by Zhu Jinzhang, including Zhang Ziming himself.

From Yansi to Liaoping Fucheng, they only took half a day to arrive, and everyone got their own tasks to get busy.

Only Zhang Ziming and his old brothers brought from Wujiabao were completely free at the moment, and Zhu Jinzhang did not arrange additional tasks for them.

"Brother, the prince is really kind enough to give us a holiday!"

"I haven't touched a woman for seven or eight days in a row. Let's go to the old place to have fun?"

"This feeling is good..."

Hearing the discussion of his subordinates, Zhang Ziming's expression suddenly turned ugly, and the discussion of everyone present gradually disappeared.

"One by one, don't just focus on having fun, you have to think about yourselves in the long run, otherwise you will never get ahead!" Zhang Ziming said coldly.

This is for his subordinates, but also for Zhang Ziming himself.

Zhang Ziming has outstanding abilities, and now he has won Yansi County, but his status in Zhu Jinzhang's heart is not comparable to that of Zhu Xiaoyong.

Otherwise, why he couldn't say the same thing several times? After Zhu Xiaoyong spoke, the matter was settled.

In the final analysis, he, Zhang Ziming, is still an outsider, and he cannot compare to the team of other people when they started.

How can one gain status in the King Ming system?Zhang Ziming alone is definitely not enough, he has to form his own basic plate.

Who is his basic disk?Naturally, it was the brothers he brought from Wujiabao.

As long as these people are in the key positions of the Ming army, then his Zhang Ziming's words will naturally carry a lot of weight.

"Brothers, are you willing to be the first one every time you fight? Don't you want to have a higher status?"

"We all rebelled, don't you want to do something?"

"I've been thinking about finding a woman all day long, and I'm just passing by. Now is the time to enjoy the blessings?"

This was the first time Zhang Ziming spoke seriously to his subordinates after Liaoping.

It has to be said that his words played a certain role. At this moment, all the people under him looked thoughtful.

"We have already lost a few brothers, do you want to be the next one?"

In this last days, everyone is desperately trying to survive, so naturally no one wants to die, let alone die like cannon fodder.

I only heard someone say: "Brother, just tell us what we should do?"

Seeing the eagerly looking eyes of his brothers, Zhang Ziming felt the long-lost enthusiasm, and his subordinates listened to what he said today.

"No matter how much I say, it's all nonsense. I want you to do it down-to-earth. Think more about how to make meritorious service and get rewards, and don't just focus on immediate enjoyment!"

…………

The Liaoping government office has now been changed into the residence of Zhu Jinzhang.

Although living in the Xingyuan Palace is more comfortable, the place is too remote, which is not conducive to Zhu Jinzhang's control of the situation.

After leading the troops back to the city, Zhu Jinzhang returned directly to the mansion with his personal guards. He had already arranged all the errands and just waited for the people below to implement them.

Although there is no complete civil service system like Yongwang's Mansion, under Zhu Jinzhang's iron-fisted rule, the efficiency of the subordinates is still very high.

In this way, he only needs to wait for three days before he can lead the army directly to the south.

Inside the Zhu Mansion, Zhu Jinzhang was sitting in the backyard with a map in his hand.

On the map, the territory of King Yong's Mansion was marked out, which was much larger than Zhu Jinzhang's.

According to the news sent back by the spies, Prince Yong's mansion is now strong and strong, with a large number of people and sufficient food. This is an extremely powerful enemy.

Zhu Jinzhang frowned, and he glanced at other places on the map, thinking about his way out again.

As a matter of fact, take down Yansi first. In addition to the dense network of Yansi water, which is suitable for defense and farming, it is also a good place to escape.

Yansi County is close to the Dahe River, once the army is defeated, he can escape by boat, and the sky will be high and the earth will be open for him to go.

Of course, this is a choice of last resort, and it is also Zhu Jinzhang's deepest secret.

While Zhu Jinzhang was thinking, his wife Ma came over with two maids, who were holding two trays.

"Master, it's time to eat!" Mashi said softly.

Looking at his wife, Zhu Jinzhang showed a smile on his face and said, "Thank you, madam!"

But seeing the tray put down by the maid, Zhu Jinzhang couldn't help frowning and said, "Why is there meat today? Today is an odd number!"

"Why, do you suspect that I have embezzled rice meat without permission and broke your King Ming's rules?"

Ma Shi sat on the pier at one side, but turned his face to the other side, looking a little angry.

Zhu Jinzhang was angry, but he didn't attack it, and the two of them froze in place.

"Playing prestige with a woman like me, is that your King Ming's ability?"

"I didn't want to eat this meat two days ago. I knew you were going to come back and took it out of the well. I didn't dig the corner of your Lord Zhu..."

"If you still think I did something wrong, then I'll write you an apology note?"

Hearing this, Zhu Jinzhang showed a slight smile, and quickly got up and said: "Ma'am... You are so thoughtful, it is because my husband wrongly blamed you!"

Mashi immediately turned around and said with a straight face: "You have thrown your two sons out for so long... When will you let them go home!"

Good guy, this is another difficult problem. Zhu Jinzhang explained with difficulty: "They are training outside, what are they doing when they come back?"
