Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 52 A dozen Douzhuang

Let's say that Zhang Shun took Yangcheng and was harmed by "Zijin Liang" and others. After a few days, "Zijin Liang" and others got tired of harming the people, so they coveted the wealth of Runcheng and invited Zhang Shun to attack the city.

Zhang Shun was fed up with their faces and refused on the grounds that his team had just participated in a battle and needed to be repaired. "Zijinliang", Ma Shouying and others were not angry either. In their opinion, attacking this small town was a good thing. Since Zhang Shun was unwilling to participate in sharing the wealth, they could just take it for themselves.

Zhang Shun had nothing to do, so he had to ask Chen Changzhen to lead people to guard Huaiqing Mansion while Liu Yinggui restored order in the city. He took Wukong and Zhang Shenyan to extract the criminals from the prison and interrogated them for fun.

Zhang Shun didn't understand the law, he only knew how to interrogate thieves, but didn't know how to judge thieves. On the contrary, Zhang Shenyan once served as the right minister of the Ministry of Justice and was very proficient in legal writing. At this point, Zhang asked him to cooperate with him and judge by himself, and Zhang was cautious in making judgments. In a few days, a total of hundreds of cases were handled. Some of those who were wrongly accused were released by Zhang Shun. Some of those who deserved heavy sentences were severely beaten by Zhang Shun to vent their anger. As for those who had committed the most heinous crimes, Zhang Shun pulled them out. , let your soldiers see blood.

For a time, the atmosphere in Yangcheng changed, and the people even secretly praised them as "thieves of Qingtian". Zhang Shenyan heard this and couldn't help but smile. This is really an official who is not his official, a thief who is not his thief, and everything is upside down.

After playing like this for several days, the two of them cleared the backlog of cases in Yangcheng Prison for many years. Zhang Shun actually asked someone to move the cases and pulled Zhang Shenyan to deal with the old cases again.

The two of them were having a great time. On this day, the "Purple Gold Liang" and other troops who had not seen each other for many days actually sent people to deliver hundreds of pieces of silk, and also invited Zhang Shunyitong to attack a village called "Dou Village". The place.

It turns out that this "Purple Gold Liang" broke through Runcheng a few days ago and plundered a large amount of gold, silver and iron tools. Then he became greedy and attacked Douzhuang again. As a result, he was beaten to a bloody head and many people died, but he could not conquer it. In desperation, he only picked out many "useless" loot from the plunder of Runcheng. The silk was given to Zhang Shun and invited him to come and help in the battle.

Zhang Shun knew that he could not refuse, so he had to put down the work of clearing up old cases and led his troops to join the "Purple Gold Liang". As soon as Zhang Shun arrived at the place and saw the so-called "Dou Village", he was shocked.

I saw that the Douzhuang city wall was three feet high, five feet thick, and 1,008 steps in circumference. There are battlements, forts, lookout points, etc. built on the top of the wall. Five-story carved towers are built at the four corners. Windows are set up on eight sides, allowing a panoramic view of the mountains and rivers outside the building. If there are any invading enemies, they will be invisible for dozens of miles away.

What kind of "Dou Village" is this? This is simply "Dou Fort". If there are people guarding the city, it will be difficult for thousands of troops to break through. Zhang Shun had no choice but to ask: "Second Master, we have no enmity or discord with this place, so why bother to attack this castle desperately?"

"Brother Optimus Prime, you don't know that this is a small village, but it is a geomantic treasure. This is where the Zhang family is. If we can break through this place, you and I will both be high-ranking officials and richly paid. Enjoy it." Not enough." "Purple Gold Liang" said mysteriously.

It turns out that since Taoist Qixu took refuge in "Zijinliang", "Zijinliang" still did not give up the idea of ​​​​Zhao'an. Upon Han Tingxian's suggestion, he led Ma Shouying, Ba Jingang and other brothers to gather 30,000 people and took the opportunity to besiege Douzhuang.

Zhang Shun turned around and asked Zhang Shenyan and found out that his Douzhuang Zhang family was different from their Tuncheng Village Zhang family. This Douzhuang was originally the location of Dou's tomb, and a tomb-keeper's residence was built here for the Zhang family who was guarding the tomb at that time.

Later, the Dou family gradually declined, and the Zhang family prospered here. Zhang Wudian of the Zhang family passed the imperial examination and became a minister of the Ministry of War. He had three sons, all of whom were prominent in Kejia. His eldest son Zhang Quan once served as the patrol commander of Liaodong and was stationed in Liaoyang. Jianzhou rebels invaded and participated in secrets many times. Due to Yuan Yingtai's incompetence, Liaodong and other places were lost. Zhang Quan fell into the city and committed suicide.

His grandson Zhang Daojun is the son of Zhang Quan. After Quan's death, the imperial court appointed Daojun as the Jinyiwei commander. Because he was the son of a loyal minister, he was taken seriously. He was in charge of the military affairs of Jiadu and was responsible for the affairs of the garrison. Later, he was demoted to Yanmen Pass for taking bribes. After the rebels came west, Shanxi Governor Song Tong Yin ordered Dao Jun to participate in military planning. Dao Jun had many servants, so he was able to resist the rebels.

Before, when Wang Jiayin was here, he had besieged this city. At that time, Zhang Quan's widow Huo said: "If you go out to avoid thieves, your home will not be safe; if you encounter thieves when you go out, you will not be safe. If you wait for your ears to die, you will die at home." So she led her servants to hold on. The peasant army attacked for four days and nights, but failed to retreat.

Now that "Zijinliang" heard that Zhang Daojun had returned home, he intended to conquer the city and capture Zhang Daojun. The idea of ​​the second leader is very simple. Zhang Daojun is now recruited as a staff member by Song Tongyin, the governor of Shanxi Province. This person is suitable for talking to the second-rank officials. If you can capture this person and make him deliver the message, you can complete the transformation from leader of the bandits and leader of the Thirty-six Battalion to a high-ranking official with a generous salary. Therefore, he is most concerned about this matter.

Zhang Shun didn't know the offensive and defensive situation before, so he had to watch the battle outside. I saw the peasant army carrying simple engineering equipment, rushing over again and again without fear of death, and attacking the city. Then a row of firearms actually stretched out from Douzhuang City. After several loud noises, the rebels approaching the city fell down in rows.

If he fell under the city, even if he was not killed by the fall, he was injured by a firearm, and for a while, everyone screamed. "Zijinliang" had no choice but to order the sword and shield players to attack, but the opponent's firearms still broke the shield and they were beaten back.

"Zijinliang" cursed angrily: "How come this thief Zhuangzi has such sharp firearms and such a large number of flanges?"

Only then did Zhang Shun realize that the enemy defending the city was actually a small artillery machine. No wonder it was reloaded so quickly. No matter how the rebels attacked, they could not attack the city wall. The two sides fought for a while, and all other troops were injured, but Zhang Shun did not participate in the attack. "Zijinliang" ordered Zhang Shun to test it out.

Zhang Shun persuaded: "Second Master, the city here is high and small, and the firearms are sharp, so it cannot be attacked by force. If we want to capture this place, we still need artillery. Although Shun is not talented, he is willing to find talents, cast cannons, and help Second Master Attack this city."

"Purple Golden Liang" was overjoyed after hearing this and said: "Does 'Optimus Prime' also know how to forge artillery? If he can do this, it will be easy to attack this city."

But I never thought that other people heard about it, but they were reluctant: "We have hurt many brothers, why can this new guy in the gang escape the siege?"

Zhang Shun was helpless after hearing this, so he had to take out some food and share it with everyone, and expressed his feelings, saying: "Brother, the new members of the gang lack weapons and armor. They cannot compare with the strong soldiers and horses of your brothers. I will give you some food and hope that everyone will be spared." This is the time for my little brother."

Thanks to the book friends Qin and Han Dynasty and Qing Yan Wan Wan for the reward, thank you. I got home a little late today, so I didn’t update the last chapter in time. I’m sorry everyone.
