The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 409

Following Zhu Jinzhang's order, the army in Baishan County began to mobilize on a large scale.

In the county government hall, Zhang Ziming had nothing to do, so he walked out of the county government hall at this moment.

Not being able to integrate into Zhu Jinzhang's inner circle, Zhang Ziming was not too surprised, after all, he was not in the group at the beginning.

What's more, he also brought a group of brothers to join the gang, and he could build a team within Zhu Jinzhang's system.

Of course, at this critical time of life and death, Zhang Ziming didn't have time to think about these things.

The most important thing right now is to overcome the difficulty of the invasion of Prince Yong's Mansion.

Walking out of the county government office, Zhang Ziming entered an alley next to him, where his subordinates and old brothers were all inside.

Entering a courtyard, a dozen or so men were chatting nonsense, and they stopped making noise when Zhang Ziming came back.

"Clean up, we'll be leaving the city in three quarters!" Zhang Ziming said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then they all got up and got busy.

"Ma Cheng... come here!"

Hearing Zhang Ziming's call, Ma Cheng immediately turned around and ran all the way to Zhang Ziming.

"Brother, I have something to tell you!"

Ma Cheng, the second head of the bandits at the time, followed Zhang Ziming and defected to Zhu Jinzhang after the Shanzhai was captured by Zhao Yanxun.

As an outsider, it is also difficult for Ma Cheng to mix into the inner circle of the Ming dynasty, so he worshiped Zhang Ziming as his eldest brother.

"Are you familiar with Tie Jiangshan?"

Ma Cheng was a hunter first, and later became a bandit. He knew the terrain around Yuanyang best. After all, only those who hide in Tibet can live long.

"I've been in a few times, and my elder brother asked what this is for?"

"Ming Wang asked me to lead a capable team into the mountain, and go around to the west side of Tianma Castle to attack!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Cheng's expression turned serious, and he said, "Brother, this is a hard job..."

"To put it bluntly, it might be death if you go there!"

Ma Cheng's head is very clear, and only a person like him who cherishes his life will live a long time.

It doesn't matter if the road in Tiejiang Mountain is rough, but there are zombies in the mountain, and they may not be able to come out if they go in at this point.

Even if the fate is great, they will still face the strong soldiers of Prince Yong's Mansion after crossing Tiejiang Mountain.

"Brother, you have to be careful about this!" Ma Cheng reminded kindly.

"Ming Wang has already issued an order, and this matter cannot be changed!" Zhang Ziming said slowly.

After looking around, I heard Ma Chengdao: "Brother, this time, Prince Yong's mansion is coming very aggressively. I think this King Ming will be finished sooner or later... Why don't we take this opportunity to escape?"

"He, Zhu Jinzhang, never regarded our brother as his own, why should we bother to work for him!"

Zhang Ziming did not express his position, but asked calmly: "How do you know that we will lose this time?"

"Brother, it's not that simple? The Prince Yong's Mansion is an imperial court army, with plenty of soldiers and food, what do we have here? In their eyes, we are just grassroots team!"

Seeing Ma Cheng's anxious look, Zhang Ziming brushed off his sleeves: "Caotai team, can't things be done? You forgot that Jin Ting Taizu was a fugitive slave of the landlord's family back then!"

Unofficial history records that the emperor Taizu of the Great Jin Dynasty, who was a servant of the landlord's family, fled after losing a cow.

At that time, the world was in turmoil, and Taizu of the Jin Dynasty joined the uprising army. After 15 years of fighting in the South and North, he finally unified the world.

It stands to reason that Taizu's merits in setting the tripod should be the most praised by the world, but it is a pity that Taizong who appeared later, with his literary and martial arts, has been shining forever, and it has steadily overshadowed his father's light.

"He? Can he also be compared with Taizu?"

Zhang Ziming said in a deep voice: "When the Taizu started the incident, it was not as good as King Ming is now!"

"Brother, what's so good about that Zhu? Make you so devoted to him?" Ma Cheng was deeply puzzled.

Zhang Ziming turned around, walked away and said, "Stop talking nonsense, pack up quickly, and leave in a while!"

Helpless, Ma Cheng could only turn around and leave.

At this moment, he was already thinking of retreating. Naturally, it is impossible to really work hard. Once there is danger, he will definitely run away at the first time.

Walking into the room, Zhang Ziming walked to the table and sat down, then fell into deep thought.

Ma Cheng can understand the problem, but he doesn't know it in his heart.

He sacrificed his life to carry out a surprise attack. Zhang Ziming was not so loyal to Zhu Jinzhang, but wanted to make a career.

As he himself said, the family slaves of the Taizu of the Jin Dynasty can achieve success, so is he worse than anyone else?
Even if the army is defeated, it can be hidden, and it is time to seek a comeback.

What's more, he, Zhang Ziming, has a deep blood feud with the Jin court, and now is the time for revenge, how could he back down a little bit.

In fact, among Zhang Ziming's brothers, every one has a deep hatred with the Jin court, and only people like Ma Cheng don't care about it.

After tidying up, everyone soon gathered in the yard. Zhang Ziming briefly explained the battle plan, and then left with a group of brothers.

At the west gate of Baishan County, Zhu Gui waited with a hundred cavalry.

Seeing Zhang Ziming's feeling, Zhu Gui hurriedly rode forward and said loudly: "Brother Zhang, my lord asked me to take someone to follow you!"

Zhu Gui, Zhang Ziming defected to Zhu Jinzhang's guide, and the two had a pretty good relationship in private.

"Your Highness, are they gone?"

"Just left, the soldiers left in two ways!"

"Okay then, let's go too!"

Zhang Ziming didn't say much, and walked out of the city gate with his men.

There is no moat in Baishan County, and its defense is really worrying.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ziming raised his head and looked at the top of the city wall, which had been replaced by civilian guards transporting grain.

The city wall was only over ten feet high, and the people on it were all yellow and thin. If they were used to defend the city, the enemy might surrender as soon as they came.

Zhu Gui said from the side: "Brother Zhang, there are dozens of people in the city to supervise the battle, and they should be able to last for several days!"

This move was well arranged. As long as there are special soldiers supervising the battle, these people will not dare to surrender easily.

As long as the two armies outside the city cooperate properly, it is not impossible for the three to work together to block the army of Prince Yong's Mansion.

"Who is in charge of supervising the battle?" Zhang Ziming asked.

"Wu Pingxuan!"

Hearing this name, Zhang Ziming couldn't laugh or cry.

Wu Pingxuan proposed to send the people to guard, but he didn't expect that he would also fall into it. The danger of supervising the battle in the city is not so great.

"I'm afraid this guy will surrender directly!" Zhang Ziming half-jokingly said.

"He doesn't dare to surrender. If he surrenders, it will be a dead end!"

"Why?"

"The side concubine of King Xingyuan is already pregnant with his baby!"

This news surprised Zhang Ziming even more.

King Xingyuan was the unlucky guy who was rebelled by Zhu Jinzhang and sacrificed the flag. All the men in the palace were killed, and Zhu Jinzhang distributed all the women in the palace to his subordinates.

In this way, the subordinates became a community of interests, everyone was stained with the blood of the royal family, and slept with the royal woman... These crimes cannot be washed away no matter what.

"Speaking of which, the beheaded King Xingyuan is still the uncle of King Yong Zhao Yanxun..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Ziming showed a smile: "Wu Pingxuan slept with Aunt Zhao Yanxun, he will definitely not let him go!"

Zhu Gui also laughed: "Who hasn't slept with the royal family yet, the third daughter of King Xingyuan is being raised at my house!"

Zhang Ziming sighed, it seemed that he was really an outsider, why it was not his turn to do such things.
