Chapter 1302: Mazu agrees, it

Shuntian Prefecture, Capital,

Inside the Imperial Study,

The Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander, Nan E, was kneeling on the ground.

Flipping through the memorial, Emperor Hongde narrowed his eyes and said, "Did he really kill them?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, all those involved in the Jia family case have been beaten to death in the ancestral hall. One of them even said that Marquis Jia was killing his kin and brothers, and was ordered by Jia Xiang himself to be beaten to death..."

Speaking to Emperor Hongde, Nan E appeared calm.

Because after he received this letter, he was also full of disbelief, because how ruthless must Jia Jue be to take such a heavy hand against his own cousins and uncles?

Thirty-odd people; this basically implicated the entire Jin Ling Twelve Branches.

And just like that, Zhang Cheng had actually beaten them all to death in the ancestral hall. He was truly ruthless!

Hearing Nan E's words, Emperor Hongde threw down the memorial in his hand and said, "I really should throw this memorial to those people to see, to see what is the way of a minister!"

"Hiding for kin, making the commoners suffer, then is this Great Qian still my world? Ah!"

Speaking with fury, Emperor Hongde roared.

Could he not know what the Jin Ling Jia family had done? He knew, but he didn't want to move against Jia Jue!

But who would have thought that Jia Jue would personally beat these wolves to death while heading south to Jiangnan!

After dealing with the Jia family's affairs, Zhang Cheng took out a lot of silver and sent people to offer compensation.

Because he knew that if he wanted to maintain the family's survival, a good reputation was necessary.

After resting for three or five days, Zhang Cheng looked at the last name on the list being crossed out and turned his head, saying, "Is everything handled?"

"Yes, Uncle, everyone who needed compensation has been compensated, and even the women who were snatched have been married in as legitimate wives!"

Explaining to Zhang Cheng, Jia Wei couldn't help but speak.

"Go back and tell them, if I hear that these legitimate wives have mysteriously caught a cold, I will make them dissolve in water too!"

Speaking coldly, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes.

Could he not know the methods of these inner chambers? He just disdained to use them. After all, Zhang Mouren's main style was "wisdom"!

It was just that in some situations, Zhang Cheng's wisdom told him that taking action was more convenient.

"Yes, Uncle, I'll send people to do it right away!"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Jia Wei turned and left.

Watching Jia Wei leave, Cao Bianjiao asked curiously, "My Lord? Aren't you afraid of leaving a bad name in the clan by doing this?"

But just after Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, Cao Wenzhao at the side raised his foot and kicked him.

"Uncle, why did you hit me?"

Asking without understanding, Cao Bianjiao was confused.

"Wenzhao, you don't need to blame him, he just doesn't understand!"

Looking at Cao Bianjiao with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "You tell me, when exterminating a clan, is it better for one person to die, or a group of people to die!"

"That, of course, is better for one person to die!"

Speaking subconsciously, Cao Bianjiao hurriedly explained.

"No, you're wrong. When exterminating a clan, everyone must die; men are implicated, and women are exiled! No family can withstand being raided and exterminated!"

Finishing this sentence with a cold face, Zhang Cheng continued, "And the people I killed were all those who brought disaster to the Jia family. Because when the clan is exterminated, no one will care if you did bad things or not; if you have the surname Jia, that is your crime!"

"No wonder when the nine clans are executed, people often say they are innocent!"

Rubbing his chin, Cao Bianjiao suddenly realized.

Looking at the not-so-smart Cao Bianjiao, Cao Wenzhao patted his forehead.

That's the execution of nine clans, can they not be innocent? You haven't even met them, you're almost out of the five degrees of mourning, and they can still drag you to the vegetable market to recognize relatives!

Half a month later, the rumors in Jin Ling gradually diminished, because the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor truly dared to kill people!

He even dared to move against his own blood brothers; if you, someone who has nothing to do with him, dare to gossip about him, aren't you courting death?

Continuing to take the ship south, Zhang Cheng arrived at a place starting with the character "Hu".

Huang Huifeng: Hey, that's right, it's Fu Fu Jian!

The naval fleet had already assembled, just waiting for him, the Admiral.

Looking at the generals below, Zhang Cheng walked straight up, sat in the main seat, and said, "This Admiral is a general of the horse, not skilled in naval warfare, so the command will be fully handed over to you all. And I have calculated, five days from now, it is auspicious, benefiting the people and the army, the navy will set out!" Watching Zhang Cheng, who directly ordered the departure in five days, the naval regional commanders were all dumbfounded. Because although they had twenty thousand naval troops, Yizhou couldn't be taken just by numbers; people had strong ships and cannons waiting for them! What are they going to fight with? Their heads?

"Admiral, is this too urgent! We..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng, the standing naval regional commander couldn't help but speak.

"Don't speak, I'll ask Mazu first!"

"Clap!"

The divination blocks were thrown from his palm, and Zhang Cheng smashed them directly onto the table.

When the Minnan generals present saw this scene, they were immediately stunned on the spot.

Because this naval admiral from the capital brought divination blocks when going out, and even asked Mazu! Do you dare believe this?

"Clatter!"

The divination blocks fell on the map, and Zhang Cheng smiled, "Mazu agrees! Do you have any objections?"

"Fight, set out in five days!"

"That's right, the Admiral is right, set out in five days, this time we must let the barbarians on Yizhou know the power of Great Qian's navy!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng taking out the divination blocks and even asking Mazu, what could the naval regional commanders say? Mazu agreed, could they disagree?

Watching such a sloppy scene, many naval generals were stunned on the spot. What an outrageous combat plan! Can this win?

Minnan Navy: Mazu agreed, it's definitely a win!

Five days later, the sky was clear and cloudless.

Two thousand naval troops set out for Yizhou, and the commoners stood on the shore to see them off.

Under the fluttering dragon flags, Zhang Cheng stood at the bow of the ship and said, "Pass the order down, speed up, this general wants to sweep through the South China Sea within half a year!"

"Half a year? Sweep through the South China Sea? General, is this a bit sloppy?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Cao Bianjiao was stunned.

Because he also knew that naval warfare wasn't like land warfare; just finding the enemy and the sea journey took time!

"Heaven is on this general's side!"

Pointing at the sky, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

"Uncle, the General seems to have gone mad, he actually believes in gods!"

Looking at Cao Wenzhao in shock, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Don't talk nonsense, Uncle is also panicking, I don't know how to swim..."

Speaking to Cao Bianjiao beside him, Cao Wenzhao also felt a headache.

One day later, Yizhou Island,

When they learned of the arrival of Great Qian's navy, the barbarian navy also began to leave the port one after another.

Looking at the large galleons in front of him, Zhang Cheng finally understood why these small fries were so arrogant.

Because in this era, galleons were truly sharp weapons at sea.

"General, the barbarian navy has already set up their formation, should we start the counterattack?"

Speaking to Zhang Cheng, Cao Wenzhao inquired.

And just after Cao Wenzhao finished speaking, Zhang Cheng said with disdain, "Counterattack? Play cannon-to-cannon with them? That's too long-winded, bring the ship alongside for me! I want them to know that even if I come to the sea, I am still invincible!"

"Damn it, why did the Admiral rush out!"

Commanding the fleet, the two naval deputy regional commanders saw a large ship rushing out like an arrow from a bow and were dumbfounded.

Because was this some new tactic? Why did he just rush up!
