Ming dynasty grand dude

From then on, he transformed himself into a justifiable Yamen servant in Bazhou to arrest robbers.

However, behind his back, he is actually the biggest sitting tiger on the green forest road in Bazhou!

The more than 6 villages extending from this, with a total of no less than [-] people, are almost all under his control.

Zhang Mao, who is normally high-spirited and known by the master of Lvlin Road as "the ghosts and spirits of the heavens and the earth are terrified and terrified, Meng Chang", is now fidgeting.

The four beams and eight pillars in front of him also looked gloomy.

Others don't know, but a few of them know.

The only reason why my eldest brother can run amok in Bazhou is because of the guarding eunuch behind him.

No matter how many sinful things they did, as long as they stuffed enough gold and silver treasures, they would be able to keep them.

But such a good day was completely gone after the establishment of the Investigation Bureau.

The factory guards were reorganized, and Zhang Cheng, an old man, only wanted to be a celebrity through the ages.

The fans below have been re-screened and trained. After they come out, they are worried that they will be accused and dare not make mistakes.

The most troublesome thing for Zhang Mao and others was the establishment of the Huoyihui.

Standing behind the Zhujia Huoyi Association is not the royal family, but the nobles.

Either it is the Ministry of Households directly, followed by the Ministry of Punishment and other ministries.

What the hell, they can't afford to provoke them!

rob them? !dare not.

Charge them tolls? !

What the hell is going to be the thief, and the Bazhou prefecture will be all unlucky.

Stealing the property of the Ministry of Accounts, are you really a vegetarian for the men of the Ministry of Accounts? !

The cargo meeting of honorable nobles is even more unstoppable, not to mention that many of them are generals from the Ding family.

I was so anxious that people read the last book and brought people over to suppress the bandits without knowing why they died.

It's okay to have a difficult life, but the investigation bureau is now gradually trying to find Zhang Zhong's line.

Even Zhang Mao was like ants on a hot pot, in constant panic.

The two of them are grasshoppers on the same rope, if Zhang Zhong falls, Zhang Mao will definitely not survive.

"Brother! We have to think about this matter, if it happens..."

Seeing a fellow under him stand up anxiously, he said loudly: "This is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the entire family!"

The rest of the people didn't speak, but their expressions said everything.

Everyone comes out to do business, and this business can only be done if it is cost-effective.

But this nima helped someone else to be the emperor, and in the end he might be killed by a donkey.

Not to mention whether this thing can beat, it's hard to say.

The decapitation business is extremely uneconomical.

"Hmph~! Do you think XX is willing?! Isn't this forced to nowhere!"

In fact, Zhang Mao was not vicious in nature, on the contrary, he looked extremely thin.

The body is thin and tight, and the whole looks weak.

If you don't know him when you go out, people will laugh at saying that he is a gangster.

However, those who knew Zhang Mao's identity would be paralyzed by fright as long as they saw his figure.

Back then, Zhang Mao was still a young boy who had just joined the gang, and he dared to slice him dozens of times when he was slaughtering fat sheep.

The fat sheep's family had to send 100 taels of silver, and then put the fat sheep back.

This move directly established Zhang Mao's prestige, and no one dared to be shy in front of Zhang Mao from then on.

"Our relationship with Eunuch Zhang, other people don't know if you don't know?!"

Zhang Mao snorted coldly, and all the four beams and eight pillars below dared not speak.

"How many times have you lost your wind?! If it weren't for Eunuch Zhang, you would have hung your head at the gate of Bazhou City long ago!"

This is the truth, if Zhang Zhong and Eunuch Zhang didn't protect them, they would have died long ago.

"History of Ming Dynasty Volume 187" contains:

"Maohou was defeated by Hejian general Yuan Biao. Mao was embarrassed and asked Yu Zhong for help.

Loyalty to buy wine privately, recruit Mao, Biao to sit.

When the wine was full, the cup belonged to Biao and Mao said: "Yanshi is also my brother, and I have never met each other since now." '

He raised his glass again and said: "Yuan Gong is kind to you, and you should be careful not to violate Hejian." "Biao fears loyalty, only Weiwei." "

What we are talking about here is that Zhang Mao was defeated and hunted down many times by Yuan Biao, the general of Hejian, but he really couldn't call Zhang Zhong for help.

Zhang Zhong held a banquet at home for the two of them to come, and told Yuan Biao that Zhang Mao was my younger brother so don't make things difficult for him.

Then tell Zhang Mao that Mr. Yuan is a good man!Don't come to Hejian to make trouble in the future.

Yuan Biao saw that Zhang Zhong was making peace in the center, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything else.It can only be submissive.

But speaking of the truth, the four beams and eight pillars under Zhang Mao gritted their teeth.

Seeing a man standing up, he stared at his eyes and said, "Brother! Since we want to move, let's kill the brothers of the Liu family first!"

Mentioning the brothers of the Liu family, Zhang Mao also frowned and fell silent.

In the Liu family in Wen'an, Bazhou, Liu Chong, the sixth child, and Liu Chen, the seventh child.

Both of these brothers are "outstanding in courage, bow and arrow, brave and good at riding and shooting", and they specialize in arresting bandits.

Naturally, there is no shortage of enemies with Zhang Mao's family. If it is really going to be the opposite... it is right to kill his Liu family first!

7 Chapter Eighty

However, this Liu family brother is not easy to deal with!

Not to mention that their own abilities are not bad, and they are born in a family of bow horses.

Moreover, since he was called to be a thief, he called up a group of people, and there were hundreds of people under his command at one time.

There are some good players among them, Zhang Mao may not be able to take them down if he really wants to face them head-on!

Even if they forcefully eat their people, it's hard to say how much they will lose.

"Let's send someone to contact you first, and see what the Liu brothers say."

Zhang Mao's face was cloudy and uncertain, if the brothers of the Liu family insisted on it, he might lose a lot.

But if it is said that it is not easy to subdue them, the Liu family is naturally not short of money if they can play bow and horse.

There is no reason why the whole family wants to follow them to do this head-scratching job.

Unless... there is no other way out!

"Let's find out what the Liu family means first, but don't know the bottom line! Second child, just go along with me!"

Zhang Mao quickly made up his mind, pondered for a while and waved his hands: "I want the brothers of the Liu family to bring their horses willingly!"

The four beams and eight pillars below were a little puzzled when they heard this, but they still chose to be convinced.

Because every time Zhang Mao seems to speak big words, he can always realize it in the end.

For example, when they were hunted down, there was really no way to go to heaven and nowhere to go down.

But Zhang Mao was able to contact Zhang Zhong, and everyone turned into a robber.

Now that he said that he wanted the Liu family brothers to submit and bring people to join him, the four beams and eight pillars believed it first.

As for how he can do it... No one dares to ask, and Zhang Mao will never say.

In the capital, the water of the Chaobai River is rising day by day.

Fortunately, in the early years, for the operation of the river, it was not only widened but also dug deep.

There was another severe drought in the previous period, and many dams in the upper reaches were storing water to ensure the convenience of boats in the lower reaches.

Then the heavy rain fell, and the dams in various places began to coordinate and play the role of flood control.

The diversion canals and reservoirs built to supply the farmland around the capital have begun to play a role.

With these flood outlets, together with the dams at all levels, the damage caused by floods in the capital has been drastically reduced.

However, there is no such convenience outside the surrounding areas of the capital. Poor Bai Ang, an old guy in his 70s, still has to run around on the road of flood control.

Fortunately, this time he has Liu Daxia as his helper, and the two of them were experienced in dealing with floods back then.

"Dongshan Gong! If the flood continues like this, we are afraid that the people will change!!"

Bai Ang watched the rumbling river continuously wash away the embankment, his face gradually turned pale.

Behind them is the soaked farmland, and the heavy rain these days has caused the rivers in various places to swell.

Fortunately, they not only came by themselves, but also brought food.

The grain harvested in the summer is enough for these people to eat, otherwise the civil uprising would have happened long ago.

"If the flood is not brought under control, I'm afraid it won't be a change of people in one place..."

Liu Daxia's face was livid, and now he was annoyed that he didn't support Zhang Xiaogong's vigorous promotion.

If the dams could reach all the rivers in Daming, the floods would not be so severe.

All the poor and rich households in the nearby Zhuangzi shouted for reinforcements on the dam.

Behind them are stretches of farmland, although the grain has been soaked.

But if it is flooded in, it will not only destroy the farmland.

"Block! Block!!"

The wealthy households no longer have the time to wear coir raincoats anymore, howling crazily in the muddy water.

They can accept the fields being washed away, but what about the granary? !

There is also the mansion, if the mansion is destroyed, there will be nothing left!

"Food... Food is life now!"

Liu Daxia was a little relieved that Guochao now had a lot of grain stored in the household department, and there was also a lot of grain in the internal warehouse.

In the past few years, the household department and the internal treasury have earned money, and Zhong Zhong of the household department took the opportunity to absorb a large amount of grain.

Don't panic if you have grain in your hand, the Minister of the Ministry of Households hoarded grain so frantically that the capital had more than a hundred newly built granaries.

"Duke Dongshan's words are wrong!!"

Bai Ang was heartbroken at Liu Daxia's optimism, seeing his voice trembling.

"After the flood, there will be a great plague! And after the flood, the roads are impassable. How did the people of Xinglin come here?! How did Qihuang come here?!"

Liu Daxia couldn't help being startled when he heard these words, seeing him stagger and almost fell to the ground.

The sound of the river on the embankment roared like thunder, Liu Daxia and Bai Ang's faces turned pale...

The heavy rain in the capital was like pillars, as if the god felt that the weather was about to change.

There are countless people coming and going in the homes of officials and eunuchs, but there are few people in the daytime.

When night falls, there are people coming and going at the back door.

It's just that no one spoke, and everyone was wearing a coir raincoat to hide themselves in the dark.

His Majesty has been unable to see things for five days. It is said that Li Xiya, the cabinet minister, went to visit and came out with an extremely ugly face.

And the imperial doctor who treated His Majesty was quietly replaced by the court judge Fang Shuhe, doctor Xu Hao and others.

This has already revealed an unusual meaning, and the palace is now directly under strict control.

Zhang Mao, the chief of the military department who is considered to be His Majesty's most loyal and most able to fight, was specially summoned to the palace.

After he came out, he hurried home to make some preparations, and then he took his personal guards and imperial guards together and began to seal the palace gate.

All the news of the big house could not be spread out, and at the same time, various ministries began to move into the offices of the various ministries of the new capital.
