The sun is setting on the west mountain, and the remaining light shines horizontally.
Just when the city gate was about to close, the iron cavalry came galloping in the distance, and the people waiting at the city gate were shocked.
The leader was wearing heavy armor with an iron ring, carrying a horse's spear eight feet long, and his bright red cloak was dancing in the wind behind him. He looked like an unusually heroic man, and he was none other than Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty.
Before Zhu Gaoxu could advance on his horse, Zhang Gongzhu, the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture, led a group of officials to kneel on the ground to show respect for His Highness the King of Han.
No way, the King of Han is too powerful. Now in the Ming Dynasty, from the courtiers down to the common people, they only know the King of Han but not the prince, which shows how powerful his power is.
Zhu Gaoxu reined in his horse and stopped, but he did not turn over and dismount. Instead, he held the whip in his hand and looked at the people kneeling on the ground, with a teasing smile on his lips.
He had led his troops across the border before, but he had never encountered such a situation.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
"Okay, everyone, get up. Who is the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture? Come forward and answer!"
An official in official uniforms and boots immediately stood up, bowed and said: "I am the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture, Zhang Gongzhu, and I have met His Highness the King of Han!"
Zhang Gongzhu?
Seeing this man with a big belly and a greasy look on his face, Zhu Gaoxu sneered in his heart. His initial impression of this man was extremely bad.
At this moment, there were many people watching the excitement gathered at the door. Zhu Gaoxu glanced at them, and a lot of anger suddenly arose in his heart.
He glanced over and saw that most of the residents of Taiyuan Fucheng had yellowish faces. It was obvious that most of the ordinary people were suffering from malnutrition, and the clothes on many of them were in tatters and full of patches.
You must know that this place is Taiyuan Fucheng!
Taiyuan was one of the thirteen states in the Han Dynasty. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, especially the Tang Dynasty, it became one of the "three capitals" and "three capitals" as famous as Chang'an and Luoyang!
The great poet Li Bai also praised: "The king of heaven has three capitals, and the northern capital ranks first."
Moreover, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, it became the capital of the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Northern Han Dynasties, and was known as the legendary "Dragon City"!
It can be said that Taiyuan became one of the most prosperous cities in the north and laid the foundation for the development of Shanxi merchants!
But in such a core city that should be prosperous, the people living in it are in such miserable condition, which is really frightening.
With a sallow complexion and thin skin, and ragged clothes, he looks like a group of refugees!
And the Magistrate Zhang in front of him can still keep his clothes clean and his face shiny, so you can imagine what kind of thing this guy is!
Oh, I'm afraid this Magistrate Zhang has done a lot of corruption and bribery, right?
No wonder he wanted to bring people to wait for him here, he was obviously guilty of committing a crime!
"Well... very good. Seeing Magistrate Zhang's rosy face, I feel relieved. I believe the people of Taiyuan Mansion are living a pretty good life, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The fat on Zhang Gongzhu's face twitched unconsciously, but he was the prefect after all, and he still had some skills in nourishing qi.
"Your Highness Qizhen... the people of Taiyuan Mansion... are living well!"
"Oh, is that really like this? Then what do you think of these people, who all look sallow and thin and dressed in ragged clothes?"
Zhu Gaoxu stared at Zhang Gongzhu with cold eyes, causing the latter's expression to change again. He suddenly felt a huge pressure coming on his face. He could hardly speak clearly. He opened his mouth hesitantly, but no words came out. He was so anxious that he could not speak clearly. Head sweating profusely.
After all, the person he has to face now is the fierce and powerful King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, who loves to play cards that go against common sense!
But everyone knows that if you offend him, not even the current prince can protect you!
Seeing that his lord was intimidated by his grandson's power and was humiliated in public, a middle-aged man behind Zhang Gongzhu replied loudly: "Reporting to Your Highness the King of Han, last year there was an extremely cold spring in Taiyuan Prefecture, heavy snow covered the sky, and the pits and valleys were full, so there was Many refugees and hungry people have been killed..."
"Oh? Really?" Zhu Gaoxu chuckled upon hearing this, "Then why didn't the imperial court receive the report?"
When the person who spoke heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
He did not expect that this Han King Zhu Gaoxu would be so difficult to deal with.
I thought I could just cite a natural disaster that led to a man-made disaster and get rid of it.
However, he did not expect that the Han King Zhu Gaoxu was so shrewd and inconsistent with the rumors at all, and saw through his little tricks at a glance!
Seeing that this person was silent, Zhu Gaoxu's expression suddenly changed and he stared at the speaker with an unhappy expression.
"Who are you? Do you have an official position?"
When the leader picks up food, you turn the wheel, and when the leader speaks, you interrupt!
Your mother!
Do you really not want to live anymore?
"The lower official, Wang Zifeng, is the manager of the magistrate's office, so he is familiar with this matter!"
Wang Zifeng!
What a great name!
The Wang family of Taiyuan was a well-known aristocratic family in the past, one of the five surnames and seven hopes.
Although after the troubled times, these aristocratic families have long ceased to exist, there are still many people with the surname Wang in Taiyuan.
The magistrate's yamen is the administrative agency of the prefect. All prefecture and county yamen imitate the system of the six central ministries, with six departments including officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and workers. They correspond to the six central ministries and have similar responsibilities to the six ministries.
The leader of each house is called Jingcheng.
However, this sutra belongs to the "unentered stream", that is, it has no rank, and its status is slightly higher than that of the subordinate official. To put it bluntly, it is the head of the subordinate official!
Officials such as the prefect are naturally on the move, and they are often appointed and dismissed to avoid situations like the Tu emperor.
But the subordinate officials are different. This group of low-level office workers in the yamen are employed personnel without formal establishment. They are not among the four common people, including scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, but they are familiar with the unspoken rules of officialdom.
As a result, a deformed officialdom culture has formed. Whether the country is in chaos or not is not decided by the emperor or officials, but by subordinates!
Subordinate officials first emerged in the Ming Dynasty and became popular in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties!
By the time of the Manchu and Qing dynasties, subordinate officials even reached the terrifying level of being able to threaten superior officials and influence the officialdom!
Of course, it is still in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, everything is prosperous, and even if there are hidden dangers, they have not yet been manifested.
For example, regarding the chaos in Taiyuan Mansion in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu guessed that Zhang Gongzhu was just a puppet magistrate, controlled by subordinate officials.
Looking at his fat and greasy appearance, you can tell that this guy doesn't have a lot of brains!
The chaos in Taiyuan Fucheng is really unexpected and full of "little surprises"!
Before Zhu Gaoxu could speak, Zhang Gongzhu stabilized his mind and said hurriedly: "His Royal Highness, you must be exhausted from the march. I have prepared a banquet in advance for His Highness to wash away the wind and dust. Do you still want His Highness to show your face to the banquet?"
Hearing this, the smile on Zhu Gaoxu's face became more intense, and he was completely disappointed with Zhang Gongzhu, the useless prefect.
Prince Han glanced at the people behind him. They all looked exhausted, and their bodies had obviously reached their limits.
"When you say that, I feel really tired!"
"That's all, let's repair for two days and enter the city!"
Zhang Gongzhu and others were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately followed Zhu Gaoxu into the city.
Nie Xing and the others felt a little confused when they saw this. They had been marching in a hurry before, hoping to rush to Lingbei to find people. Why did they suddenly change their minds and go to eat, drink and have fun with Zhang Gongzhu, the fat pig prefect?
They will never be able to keep up with His Highness the King of Han’s leaping thinking!
To the north of Tula River, there is a hidden valley.
Tuo Huan looked a little ugly because his two thousand cavalry suffered heavy losses!
Originally, according to his plan to have fun, he took advantage of the Ming army's slackest moment and under the cover of the dark night to launch a surprise attack on the Ma Tu Company, and he could definitely annihilate them all in one fell swoop!
But no one thought that this damn Ming army actually contained the Ming Forbidden Army!
After fighting with the Ming Army for so many years, the two sides know each other very well. At least the Ming Forbidden Army and the others can recognize them at a glance!
As a result, because of the existence of the Forbidden Army, the Qianhu team sent by Tuohuan to rush into the camp was completely wiped out. Not even a single person escaped alive, and they were completely slaughtered by the Ming Forbidden Army!
When I think of this, I feel like my heart is twisting in a knife, and I regret my reckless decision for the first time!
After all, the last fighting strength of their Oara tribe is these four thousand cavalry!
That was the hope for the Oara tribe to revive and rise, but now a thousand warriors had been lost in the blink of an eye. How could he explain this to his late father?
Tuohuan was annoyed and angry, and punched the stone hard.
He really couldn't understand, how could the Ming Forbidden Army appear in that Ming army?
Um?
wrong!
Could it be that……
Tuo Huan's face changed, and his eyes shined brightly.
"Go and bring those two Ming army prisoners!"
He wanted to prove something. If it was true, then the death of these thousand warriors would be considered valuable!
Soon the two young soldiers were roughly taken into the cave, their faces filled with fear and fear.
After all, they were still fifteen or sixteen years old, and they had no experience of being captured alive by barbarians.
He didn't waste any time having fun. He stepped forward and looked at the two immature Ming army prisoners, and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, who is the leader of your Ming army?"
The two were startled when they heard this, then looked at each other, and both chose to remain silent.
They have integrity, and they also have blood. It is absolutely impossible for them to leak military information!
What's more, the identity of his general is His Royal Highness the grandson of the current dynasty. Once this damn barbarian bastard finds out, UU read a book www.uukanshu. net His Highness Taisun will definitely be in danger.
Seeing this situation, Tuo Huan was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he directly took out his machete and slashed one person on the head.
In an instant, blood spattered out, turning the other person into a bloody man, causing him to scream in horror and retreat repeatedly.
"Damn you bastard, if you dare, kill me too..."
He was frightened by the barbarian's ferocity and cruelty, and could only vent his fear by roaring.
Tuo Huan could see through this man's fierce appearance with one glance, and immediately said with a ferocious smile: "Hold him down!"
Two Wala barbarians stepped forward and pinned the man firmly to the ground.
Then only a shrill scream was heard, and Tuo Huan chopped off three fingers of the young soldier with one knife.
The young prisoner struggled wildly in pain, but it was completely meaningless, and soon he shed tears.
"kill me!"
"Damn you bastard, kill me!"
"Tell me, who is your general? Why are you protected by the Forbidden Army?"
Tuohuan began to question fiercely, and then put the knife in the other hand of the young soldier prisoner.
"If you cooperate honestly, I will never kill you, but if you insist on not saying anything, then we still have a lot of time to play slowly!"
The soldiers of the Young Army were all numb and froze on the spot.
Upon seeing this, Tuo Huan directly picked up the severed finger on the ground, then opened the mouth of the young army prisoner and tried to stuff it into him!
Finally, the Young Army prisoner... collapsed.
If you eat your own fingers, anyone will be driven crazy and collapse!
The physical pain is not terrible.
But the mental torture caused him to collapse.
"It's His Highness Taisun! The general is His Highness Taisun!"
Tuo Huan was startled when he heard this, and then he let out an enchanting laugh like a night owl!
"The great grandson of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji?"
