Chapter 63: Zhang Mai’s truth

Seeing his wife being beaten from afar on the stage, Liu Guangwu was also anxious and struggled to shout: "Bastard! You are rebelling!"

Liu Guangwu's grandfather is also a well-known hero in the Shagua area. Otherwise, how could he build the foundation of the Liu family? There was still a few points left when he was passed on to Liu Guangwu's father, but when he arrived at Liu Guangwu, he practiced when he was young, but after middle age, he gradually became immersed in wine and sex. He ruled the hundred tents mainly by power, but how could he remember to go to Jiangshan? He was caught by an iron-cast arm in Jiangshan, and he couldn't even break free.

The patriarch of the six clans was stared at and could not come over to support him. Zhang Mai suddenly shouted coldly and said, "This is still the world of the Tang Dynasty. You are all officials and civilians of the Tang Dynasty. Deducting disaster relief money and food is a death sentence! Speaking of rebellion, who rebelled!"

Liu Guangwu's confidant was a little unable to hold back, and Zhang Mai shouted: "Draw the sword!"

Yang Yi then pulled out his sword. When the three thousand soldiers saw the signal, they shouted in unison: "The imperial envoy handles the case! Those who commit rebellion will be killed without mercy!" The three thousand people spoke together, what a shocking voice!

Those hundreds of people were immediately shocked.

Seeing that they all froze, Yang Yi put the sword in his sheath, and thousands of people said together: "The imperial envoy investigates the case has nothing to do with the people. There is no need to panic for the fathers and brothers."

The people who were originally afraid of this were a little more at ease after hearing this.

Zhang Mai pointed to the patriarch of the six clans and said, "If you are in conspiracy with Liu Guangwu and look back and find evidence, you will be punished first. If you come out to testify now, I can still deal with it with leniently."

Three of the six clan leaders refused to believe his words, but three rushed out on the spot. They saw that the situation was not good, and in order to escape, they volunteered to be tainted witnesses. They pointed at Liu Guangwu and cursed. Jiang Shan grabbed Liu Guangwu's words and inferred according to reason. Everything said by these three clan leaders was true.

After hearing the testimony of the three clan leaders, Liu Guangwu really took away all the money and food he should have given him "too" to him, and everyone's eyes were bloody, especially poor families who had been poisoned by him, almost all of them rushed up to swallow him alive!

The old one was just thinking about it, but some young ones couldn't help but rush up and beat Liu Guangwu in pain. At this point, Zhang Mai just watched, and the cavalrymen in the tent and the patriarchs of the six clans no longer dared to act rashly.

Liu Guangwu's family was about to leave, and someone called out: "The people from the Liu family are about to escape!"

The herdsmen were moved and surrounded him one after another. Suddenly, Liu Guangwu's wife's family was submerged in the crowd. Liu Guangwu was even more pitiful on the stage. Dozens of young people surrounded him and stepped on him. He could only see one hand occasionally exposed from dozens of feet. The hand was constantly stretching and shaking, but he couldn't even scream in the chaos. As for his family, his experience was conceivable.

This time Zhang Mai went on a war, Li Bin and Jialing were all staying in Shazhou, but instead brought Zhang Yi's son Zhang Zhongmou to serve as a clerk. Zhang Zhongmou read Confucian scriptures and recited Buddhist scriptures, and had benevolence and righteousness and compassion in his heart. Seeing that Liu Guangwu's family was so pitiful, he said to Zhang Mai: "Major Protector, although Liu Guangwu is abominable, after all, he has been the leader of the Hundred-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-T

Zhang Mai nodded and said, "If you feel sorry for Liu Guangwu, you can try to persuade them to get rid of them."

Zhang Zhongmou stepped forward and said, "Don't fight, everyone, listen first..."

Before he could finish speaking, several young men with red eyes turned around and looked at him, their eyes showing suspicion of Zhang Zhongmou, doubting whether he had anything to do with Liu Guangwu! Zhang Zhongmou was shocked and retreated in fear, and dared not speak anymore.

The atmosphere of riots became stronger and stronger. As tens of thousands of people were about to lose control together, Yang Yi said with his ears: "Brother Mai, have you controlled it?"

Zhang Mai said: "This fire has been burned. At this moment, thousands of people are afraid that they will become unreasonable. If we go to extinguish it now, the fire will burn us. They will doubt our officials to protect each other and will immediately distrust us."

Yang Yi said: "Then let the fire continue to burn?"

Zhang Mai said: "Let's talk about it when the fire is almost done. Let Qiu Ziqian and Tian Hao control the surrounding high ground and wait for it." After a pause, he said to Ma Xiaochun: "Catch Xue Yunfei."

At this time, the three remaining tribe leaders had already pounced at Zhang Mai's feet and begged for mercy, but were dragged out by the young people in the 100-tenth tents. Ma Xiaochun had already found Xue Yunfei, and Zhang Mai whispered: "You find Jiang Shan and tell him - 'There is a cause of injustice and the debt is a master'! But don't hurt the innocent. Take people to bring the elderly, weak, women and children aside, and don't be affected."

Xue Yunfei agreed to go. At this time, Liu Guangwu had been trampled into meat paste, but the queen refused to give up. After a while, Jiang Shan shouted in the crowd: "Brothers! Liu Guangwu has been killed, but we cannot let the accomplices go!"

Hundreds of people responded in unison and surrounded Liu Guangwu's confidant, with two or three thousand people following behind them. If we talk about it, although the hundreds of people led by Jiang Shan were fierce, and the thousands behind them also had the upper hand in the number of people, the suddenly mobilized crowd was not organized. They were originally not Liu Guangwu's confidant's confidant, but Liu Guangwu's confidant saw that the situation was not good, he had escaped some and turned against some, leaving six or seven hundred people in panic.

Jiangshan and his tribe surrounded from the east, while Shiba led the soldiers of the Tang army in Anxi to line up on the west and shouted: "The Great Protector has an order that those wearing armor shall not kill the people, and those who disobey will die!"

The six or seven hundred people were all angry and thought to themselves: "We are wearing armor, and the people who rushed to the east were all the people. They were coming to kill us, but we couldn't do it. What's the reason!"

But this is Zhang Mai’s reason!

Jiang Shan brought people around and saw that they were about to run into it. He waved his hand to stop the people coming from behind and shouted: "Those who have been escorted by the armor should stand up, otherwise they will be Liu Guangwu's accomplices!"

Six or seven hundred people looked at each other, Jiang Shan pointed at one of the young centurions and shouted: "Cao Kun! Do you still want to bury Liu Guangwu with him now?"

He was a young man with Jiangshan. Although he had a close relationship with Liu Guangwu, he knew he could do nothing at this point. He sighed, put down his weapons, untied his leather armor, and retreated aside. As soon as he retreated, his men immediately followed suit, and more than 300 people were affected.

The remaining two hundred people were not lucky enough to lead Liu Guangwu's son-in-law Xue Yunshan. He pointed at Jiang Shan and said angrily: "Jiang Shan, if you want to usurp the Liu family's country, you can't use such a law of usurpation, which will attract outsiders to become the heaven of the Hundred Treasures! In the future, the Hundred Treasures will be swallowed up. I see how you will meet the ancestors of the Sixth Family of the Hundred Treasures after you die!"

Jiang Shan said coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about! Now it's the case of Liu Guangwu's corruption. Are you involved in this matter? If you don't involve it, stand aside."

Xue Yunshan knew that if he took action at this time, the Tang army in Anxi would definitely help. At that time, he still had to die when the melee was fought. He gritted his teeth and said, "Jiangshan, don't make too much trouble for our intercourse, let alone bring disaster to the innocent!"

Jiang Shan said coldly: "Who do you think I am!"

Xue Yunshan threw away his weapons, and the remaining more than 200 people then abandoned the weapons. Jiang Shan was overjoyed and urgently ordered the young people to search all the weapons and armor.

From beginning to end, the Tang army cavalry only monitored and did not intervene directly.

After Jiang Shan controlled the force, he rushed to see Zhang Mai, presented Liu Guangwu's ring and said, "The Protectors, the victims are overly angry and have accidentally stepped on Liu Guangwu!"

Zhang Mai frowned and said, "Why are you so careless! Since the first offender died, how can you investigate the next thing about Greedy?"

Jiang Shan said: "This is easy. At that time, the eight major surnames gathered in the hundred tents, and two of them were gone. The remaining six surnames were all poor at the beginning, and the same was true for the Liu Guangwu family. So if his family found property, as long as it exceeded ten stones of grain and more than ten cattle and sheep, it would definitely be stolen goods!"

Zhang Mai asked Zhang Zhongmou, "What should I do if the stolen goods?"

Zhang Zhongmou did not expect that Zhang Mai would ask himself at this time. He was already a little shocked by this scene he had never seen before, but he just lacked this kind of iron-blooded power. After all, he was a person with a high IQ. After accepting it slowly, he tried to keep calm and said, "According to the laws of our Tang Dynasty, the stolen goods should naturally be confiscated!"

"Okay!" Zhang Mai said to Jiang Shan: "First you comfort everyone and sit under the high platform. Then you take people to search for the property of Liu Guangwu's family, leaving behind ten stones of grain, ten cattle and sheep, and all the others were moved to this high platform and distributed to all the 100-enterprise ministries."

Before Jiang Shan could respond, dozens of young people were already cheering in unison.

But I heard Guo Zhang report: "Does of cavalry escaped while the chaos and went north."

Jiang Shan said: "That must be Liu Guangwu's wife's uncle Zhang Jian. I haven't found him just now."

Zhang Mai smiled and said, "It's not worth worrying about just a few dozen fish that have missed the net. Let's do your business."

Jiang Shan acted quickly, but he did not take a closer look. He just dragged all Liu Guangwu's property to this side. After dragging it for half an hour, Zhang Mai was already shocked. Not to mention the herd, the gold, silver, treasure, silk and silk were piled like a hill. As for the countless cattle and sheep, it was even more impossible to pile up next to the high platform!

Zhang Mai was stunned and murmured, "It is said that the poorer the place, the richer the officials are. Today I saw it." He really couldn't understand how Liu Guangwu had hoarded a lot of money with a small 100-door ministry, but when he thought about it, he understood why the herdsmen at the bottom of the 100-door ministry hated him so much that they ate meat and slept with their skin! He knew that Liu Guangwu not only invited relief from his superiors, but also exhausted all the power of exploitation to his subordinates. Most of the herdsmen in the 100-door ministry struggled on the line of life and death, and the wealth they squeezed was all over the hands of him and his minions.

After all the young people copied Liu Guangwu, they followed him to copy the six clan leaders. The first three clan leaders came to Zhang Mai to beg for mercy. Zhang Mai said: "The court's laws and regulations must be strictly enforced, but don't worry, because you have made meritorious evidence, if you search for the stolen goods, I will also be lenient to deal with them and protect your lives."

The head of the tribe immediately looked like dust and thought that this was called lenient treatment?

After the young people copied the patriarchs of the six clans, they then picked up their confidants and relatives. These were people from the Hundred Treasures. The slaves "rebel the master" joined the ranks of house searches, so it is difficult to hide every needle and thread.

During this period, Yang Yi had sent the searched leather armor to the first batch of young tents who defected to the Hundred-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-Ten-

When the six-native elders came to Zhang Mai tremblingly, the sky was already white, and there were three piles of wealth and goods in front of the high platform, and countless cattle and sheep were trapped. In fact, most of the herds had not been sent to the house, but they had just reported a number.

After a night of trouble, everyone was extremely tired, but they were very clear-headed. They all came to listen to Zhang Mai to see how he would deal with these property.

Zhang Mai walked up to the people and said loudly: "Liu Guangwu has actually plundered so many people's wealth and ointments. He can't redeem his sins! He has been in charge of the Hundred-Tenkle Department for so many years, and it is conceivable that the chaos and chaos are! From today on behalf of the court, I abolished Hundred-Tenkle Department on behalf of the court and changed it to Hundred-Tenkle Department! If the young people are willing to join the army, they will follow me to make achievements! The internal affairs of the Hundred-Tenkle Department will be handed over to the six elders. You must act fairly and not follow the actions of the six clan leaders!"

Mr. Liu nodded quickly and said yes. Zhang Mai pointed at the property and said, "These property was originally rewarded by the court to the 100-denomination ministries and the people of the Ministry. Now the six elders will be distributed publicly and all of them will be given to the people of the Ministry."

After hearing this, the people of millions of tents cheered in unison: "Long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live the Protector of Zhang Dadu!"

Seeing that there are so many wealth, even if they are divided into each family, each household should be able to get a lot. Even if they can't get a share, they can see the Liu family, who have been in power for decades, be able to exude the anger in their hearts.

Zhang Mai only asked Zhang Zhongmou to supervise the matter, but he stopped caring about it. Instead, he called Jiang Shan and Xue Yunfei and ordered him to organize the brave and brave young people in the tribe who could obey orders to join the army. Jiang Shan and Xue Yunfei and the two of them had more than 10,000 males from the Hundred Treasures, and obtained more than 6,600 people. These people were originally organized. Yang Yi had the experience of leading the seven thousand maid cavalry and had his own set of experience in how to manage such a tribal army. He divided the more than 6,600 people into two groups - the most powerful one thousand people, and gave the newly searched leather armor and horizontal swords, called the Hundred Treasures internal camp, and another thousand team, and gave the newly searched weapons, called the Hundred Treasures auxiliary camp, and the remaining 4,600 people were peripheral troops, called the Hundred Treasures external camp.

Jiang Shan also recommended Cao Kun and Xue Yunshan as generals, saying that they were the best men of the Hundred Treasure Army. Zhang Mai immediately called Cao Kun as the captain of the auxiliary camp, but Xue Yunshan stayed by his side.

The deployment was decided, and the six elders also distributed all their property. Because they were publicly distributed, they could not be greedy. Every household had gained something. Everyone thanked Zhang Dadu after receiving the property. Only hundreds of households were deprived of their property and hated Zhang Mai to the core. However, they had been arranged by Zhang Mai to monitor him, so they dared not speak out.

Tian Hao said: "I don't know how Chang Le is now."

Zhang Mai smiled and said, "I have a hundred tents and I can linger on the north of Guazhou Daze. Even if Di Yin wants to cut off my retreat to the southwest, I can go north to Yizhou to obtain supplies. What's more, Changle City is narrow and thin, so it may not be able to stop me!"

He was talking publicly at this time, and he also allowed Xin to join the generals to listen. Xue Yunshan was Liu Guangwu's son-in-law, but he was a decent person. Seeing that Zhang Mai had collected a lot of money and property, he actually distributed everything to the 100-denomination people. He did not take any of it. He also changed his mind to him, and wanted to surrender, and plucked up his courage and said, "Major Protector, are you here to resolve the siege of Jinchang this time?"

Zhang Mai nodded and said, "Not bad."

Xue Yunshan said: "Guazhou Daze is short in the north and south, long in the east and west, spanning one hundred and fifty miles from west to east. The southeast corner of the Daze is the edge of Gua and Suzhou. Now Di Yintun's soldiers are outside Jinchang. If we go around from the southeast corner of the Daze, then cross the former site of the Great Wall. When we get there, we can threaten Di Yin's rear, and to the southeast, we can directly attack Suzhou! As long as Di Yin hears this news, he will have to retreat without retreating. At that time, let alone Jinchang, even if Dunhuang is surrounded, he will have to come back immediately."

He is a figure in the old core group of the Hundred Treasures, and he can get much more military information than Xue Yunfei in Jiangshan. Zhang Mai was happy and Zhang Zhongmou sat next to Zhang Mai as a clerk. At this time, he came over and said, "Major Protector, this man is Liu Guangwu's son-in-law, be careful that he will lead us into a trap."

When Xue Yunshan saw that his eyes were not good for him, he pointed at him and said, "Sir, why don't you spread your word? Why do you whisper?"

Zhang Zhongmou was quite embarrassed, and Zhang Mai said, "He was right, and your doubts can be said directly." Zhang Zhongmou hesitated for a moment, and finally found a few urgent words to speak publicly, and said, "Since you said that the southeast corner of Guazhou Daze is so important, how could Di Yin not be there to guard against it!"

"He is indeed guarded." Xue Yunshan said: "He has arranged five thousand troops there. He has frequently shown goodwill to my father-in-law. However, since he refused to agree to the conditions offered by my father-in-law, my father-in-law did not agree to him. But my father-in-law was unwilling to take that road lightly, because there were at least two thousand soldiers in the five thousand troops arranged there, and our 100-denomination troops may not be able to break through there. But the Anxi Tang army has thousands of elite troops, and with the help of the 100-denomination troops, it should not be difficult to break through that line of defense. Even if we cannot break through, as long as there is an emergency, Di Yin will not be able to concentrate on attacking Jinchang."

Zhang Mai pondered and asked the generals: "What do you think of Xue Yunshan's proposal?"

Shiba shouted, "I think it's good, fight!"

Yang Yi also nodded and said, "Warning elite soldiers in war, but the elite soldiers under Liu Guangwu are not enough, but we are different. Are there two thousand armored soldiers? Humph, even five thousand armored soldiers, there is still a battle to fight!"

Zhang Zhongmou said: "But what if it doesn't stop?"

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Di Yin ruled only the two states of Gansu. The manpower and material resources were limited after all, and his elite soldiers would not exceed 10,000. If the main force was placed in the southeast corner of Guazhou Daze, then Jinchang would not be able to siege the city. Therefore, the two thousand soldiers mentioned by Xue Yunshan should probably not be much different."

Zhang Mai nodded and said, "Okay, then do it!" He ordered Zhang Zhongmou to: "Immediately draft a document for me to Cao Yuanzhong, and tell him that once he sees Di Yin's army is weaker, he will advance to the city of Jinchang." He also ordered Yang Yi: "This time you can be a vanguard."
Chapter completed!
