The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 351 Xingyuan County

(Don't you all give some tickets, don't you give some starting coins?)
February 25, 27th year of Taian, Xingyuan County.

In a small courtyard in the south of the county seat, Zhao Yanxun opened the door and breathed in the fresh air outside.

This courtyard is the residence of Lin Quan's secret agents, and Zhao Yanxun now uses it as a resting place.

When entering the city this time, Zhao Yanxun only brought Lin Dagui and a few people with him. They climbed over the city wall at night and sneaked in here secretly.

Entering Xingyuan County, the first thing Zhao Yanxun inquired about was Zhu Jinzhang's whereabouts.

Then he got the disappointing answer that Zhu Jinzhang was not in Xingyuan at all, which prevented his beheading from proceeding.

Zhu Jinzhang is attacking Yansi County. This is not good news. The bigger the enemy's territory, the greater the threat.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, which made Zhao Yanxun immediately alert.

Immediately, a man walked out of the courtyard, came to the door and glanced outside, and then slowly opened the door.

A man walked in outside the door, this person was one of Xingyuan's spies, and there were three of them taking care of each other.

"what's up?"

The visitor replied: "The rebels want to use troops against Baishan County, and they are allocating food and grass in the city to gather troops!"

The man who opened the door turned to Zhao Yanxun and saw that Zhao Yanxun had already walked out the door.

"Where is Zhu Jinzhang?"

"Reporting to the prince, he has already returned to Liaoping. Two days later, he will lead the army to attack Baishan County!"

Nodding his head, Zhao Yanxun waved the two of them back, and then returned to the room.

Two days later, Zhu Jinzhang attacked Baishan County, which meant that he might leave tomorrow. It seems that he should wait at the place he must pass... Zhao Yanxun thought so.

The official road from Liaoping Mansion to Baishan County is the place Zhu Jinzhang must pass through, so he only needs to wait along the way.

After breakfast, Zhao Yanxun took Lin Dagui out of the yard, and the two of them wandered the streets, ready to follow the opportunity to leave the city.

But the two of them were tall and burly, and they looked tall and burly in the county, so they were quickly spotted.

Walking in the city in tattered clothes, Zhao Yanxun kept looking around and evaluating Zhu Jinzhang's strength.

"Master... Young Master, these people in the county have a much harder life than the people under the rule of our palace!" Lin Dagui couldn't help complaining.

The people under Zhu Jinzhang's rule were almost all disheveled, and it was obvious that food security was extremely difficult.

However, Zhu Jinzhang didn't pay much attention to spring plowing, and kept attacking everywhere. After taking down Yansi, he had to use troops to Baishan.

Of course, Zhao Yanxun is a full man who doesn't know how hungry a man is. If Zhu Jinzhang had enough conditions, he wouldn't know how to start spring plowing first.

Just as the two of them were looking around, they heard someone shouting, "Stop, both of you!"

Zhao Yanxun and Lin Dagui stopped in their tracks, they didn't carry weapons, so they naturally didn't want to make trouble at this moment, so they turned around slowly.

Behind the two of them are two yamen servants with knives at their waists and whips in their hands.

"What's the matter?" Lin Dagui heard in a deep voice.

Lin Dagui was tall and tall, with a thick voice, he looked like someone not to be trifled with at first glance, so he immediately stopped the two yamen servants.

Although they were uneasy, the two were able to muster up the courage to talk to Lin Dagui because they had the power of the "official government" behind them.

"The city is going to deliver military rations to Baishan, and the two of you have been requisitioned!"

"Requisition us? Why?" Lin Dagui stepped forward.

His advance made the two guards take a step back unconsciously, and then shame and anger rushed into their hearts.

The two of them are official posts, and it's really embarrassing to be frightened by an ordinary citizen.

"You bastard, don't be ignorant of good and evil..."

Hearing the other party swearing, Lin Dagui immediately became angry, and his eyes burst into a fierce light.

This is him. If Zhang Meng was here, the two officials might have had their necks broken after they cursed out their mouths.

"Deliver food, take care of the food?"

"When...of course I take care of the food!"

"Then let's go!"

"well!"

When Zhao Yanxun opened his mouth, Lin Dagui's killing intent gradually faded away.

The two yamen servants were so confused, they rushed to the official warehouse with Zhao Yanxun.

Compared with other places, this official warehouse is more heavily guarded, after all, this is Zhu Jinzhang's old den.

As far as Zhao Yanxun saw, the number of soldiers guarding the warehouse exceeded [-], and it was very busy inside at the moment.

After entering the gate, you can see a large number of people working inside, and Zhao Yanxun was also sent into the team.

"few……"

Lin Dagui was about to speak, but Zhao Yanxun said first, "Work!"

Although it was work, Zhao Yanxun was not very motivated, and he learned a lot about fishing in his previous life.

On the other hand, the other people working here are all very motivated.

Zhu Jinzhang, king of the Ming Dynasty, was very good at brainwashing the people under his rule. He did not put himself in a superior position, but set himself up as a savior.

He, Zhu Jinzhang, expands the living space for everyone outside. If the people below don't work hard, are they still human?

"I heard that there is King Yong in the south, the son of the dog emperor..."

"It's enough for the emperor to apportion the military salary year after year, making our common people's lives worse than death, and our families are ruined... His son is definitely not a good guy!"

"Hmph...Even this natural disaster was brought on by the emperor. If he wants to kill off his offspring, it's God's disapproval!"

Everyone talked a lot and was very unfriendly to Zhao Yanxun.

Lin Dagui felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, but under Zhao Yanxun's gaze, he still kept his mouth shut.

For Zhao Yanxun, although these remarks were guided by Zhu Jinzhang, the exploitation of the people by the Jin court and the government is an objective fact.

Border troubles, disaster relief, refugees, and rebels are all increasing the burden on the court, which is equivalent to increasing the burden on the common people.

If people are forced to die, shouldn't they be allowed to have a few complaints?

It's just that I was scolded a few times, and I scolded when I was scolded, who made me belong to the Zhao family... Zhao Yanxun thought helplessly.

The work in the official warehouse was extremely heavy, and everyone chatted while working, so the time undoubtedly passed faster.

From the conversations of these people, Zhao Yanxun can know that Zhu Jinzhang has a high status in the hearts of the people, and he is indeed a good hand at motivating people's hearts.

Everyone is willing to follow him, and they all believe that he can succeed and bring everyone a better life.

So in Zhao Yanxun's heart, Zhu Jinzhang had to die even more. It would be great for such a person to develop.

With such thoughts in mind, Zhao Yanxun worked slowly, and finally followed the team to deliver the grain out of the official warehouse.

Zhao Yanxun learned from the officials next to him that the battle lasted for fifteen days, and it would not be easy to win Baishan County within fifteen days.

Inside the Guancang, Zhao Yanxun and Lin Dagui went out of the city all the way, during which time the two of them found an opportunity to slip away directly.

It is actually quite normal to lose one or two people. After all, no one counts them. After all, it is normal to encounter corpses along the way, and it is normal to lose people.
