Chapter 805: Zhang Cheng

Winning battle after battle, the Great Ming's momentum to swallow the world was as terrifying as a wind sweeping away clouds.

Gazing at the vast map, with black dragon flags constantly being planted, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but pat the table and say, "This world, I have already occupied six parts of it!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you slow down a bit? I haven't even figured out how to deal with the county magistrates below!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng's ambition, only to see Wang Meng couldn't help but have a headache.

He was fighting very fast in the front, but the Cabinet was working around the clock; if it weren't for some minor matters that didn't need to be sent to the center, Wang Meng would probably have gone crazy!

"Aren't there some injured old veterans in the army? Just let them go. My Red Liang Army has always had a rigorous style and will never make mistakes!"

Looking at Wang Meng beside him, Zhang Cheng then put forward his suggestion.

And hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Wang Meng also suddenly reacted.

Because Red Liang Army veterans were soldiers; he had never thought of this point, and civil governance had always been the national policy for thousands of years; he had never thought of overturning this point!

"Do you think they won't work?"

Looking at Wang Meng, Zhang Cheng smiled.

"Your subject doesn't mean that, your subject is just worried!"

Gazing at Zhang Cheng, Wang Meng then reminded him.

And just then, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "As long as the common people can eat their fill, they will definitely not rebel. I give them land, even if I send people to supervise, it's just governing by doing nothing. What the North needs most now is stability, not a bunch of old officials!"

Looking at Wang Meng, Zhang Cheng smiled.

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Wang Meng also hurriedly said, "Your subject understands!"

Under the discussion of the Cabinet and the Military Affairs Office, many retired veterans embarked on the path of "county magistrates."

However, when they arrived at the local area, they only handled two things: checking the land and prohibiting encroachment!

After all, if you find a civil official, you can build relationships, and they might even be relatives; but the Red Liang Army, if you want to build a relationship, that's impossible. After all, their way of doing things is famous for being fast, accurate, and ruthless!

Figure out your business in the morning, announce it at noon, take action in the afternoon, and still be able to come back for dinner in the evening!

As for the local tyrants wanting to kill officials, that's even more impossible, because Red Liang Army veterans are experts in this field!

Red Liang Army veteran: Kill me? You have someone above you, but I have no one above me!

Half a month after returning the army, the late-arriving Deng Qiang finally arrived in Ye City with people.

Gazing at Deng Qiang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Zhang Hao immediately smiled and said, "Deng Qiang, you've been in Jiangnan for several months. Were you bewitched by the women of the Qin Huai River!"

"Go, go, go, stop slandering me in front of the ministers. This time, I have brought an Empress and a Noble Consort for His Majesty!"

Looking at Zhang Hao before him, Deng Qiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, smiling exceptionally happily.

"Hmm? You went to find an Empress for me?"

Looking at Deng Qiang in shock, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be stunned.

Because he didn't remember Deng Qiang guarding Xuzhou; how did he run to Jiangnan!

"Your Majesty, this matter was done by your subject!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng's questioning gaze, Wang Meng walked out to explain.

And looking at Wang Meng and Deng Qiang, as well as the historian on the side, Zhang Cheng inquired, "You write the Diary of Activities and Repose, do you know about this?"

"Your subject, has recorded it!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng with a face full of smiles, the historian nodded.

"So, this matter, only I don't know?"

Looking at the ministers in disbelief, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be stunned.

"Your Majesty, your subject doesn't know either. You know, old Zhang and you are always grasshoppers on the same line!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhang Hao hurriedly explained.

Looking at Zhang Hao with a twitching mouth, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but cover his face.

Because even if Zhang Hao knew about this, he would probably turn around and forget it.

"Why don't everyone take a look at the Empress first? This is the top priority of our Great Ming!"

Looking at the crowd, Deng Qiang couldn't help but give a thumbs up, indicating that everything is safe, I can handle it!

Looking at Deng Qiang suspiciously, Zhang Cheng then became uneasy, because if he gave him a two-hundred-jin Empress, he would send Deng Qiang to Liaodong to farm!

Before long, surrounded by many palace maids, Xie Daoyun and Feng Suzhen walked in.

Looking around uneasily all the way, Feng Suzhen and Xie Daoyun's hearts were also surging with waves at this moment.

Because they never expected that they would come to the Great Ming Imperial Palace!

And if they weren't mistaken, they seemed to be marrying the current Emperor of the Great Ming!

"The Great Ming Emperor is surnamed Zhang, right? How did he become Ma Wencai?"

"I've been snatched in a marriage, can I still go back now?"

Just as Feng Suzhen and Xie Daoyun were uneasy in their hearts, they finally arrived at the main hall.

Gazing at the ministers sitting inside, both of them were uneasy.

Because even Xie Daoyun, who was from the Xie family, had never seen such an oppressive imperial court; on the left were civil officials, each wearing vermilion court robes, wearing jade at their waists.

On the right were military officials, each wearing civil and military sleeves, with swords hanging at their waists.

As for the person standing in the middle, he was sitting on a folding stool, as if chatting normally, looking at the two curiously.

Gazing at this Majesty, Feng Suzhen and Xie Daoyun were both stunned, because he actually had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and his appearance was very good.

"Who are these two?"

Inquiring to Deng Qiang, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be confused.

"Your Majesty, the one on the left is the Xie family girl, Xie Daoyun, and the one on the right is the Zhu family young lady, Feng Suzhen! Both were selected by your subject for you!"

Revealing a proud smile, only to see Deng Qiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Xie Daoyun?"

Hearing this woman's name, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but exclaim.

Because Xie Daoyun was a talented woman, and even when facing chaotic troops, she could lead maids to charge and kill; she was simply a heroic woman!

"Wait, Feng Suzhen? Then don't I become Ma Wencai?"

Looking at Feng Suzhen before him, Zhang Cheng immediately turned his head and looked at Deng Qiang beside him.

"Your Majesty, how did you know I was called Ma Wencai in Jiangnan?"

Gazing at Zhang Cheng, Deng Qiang couldn't help but inquire.

"I thank you, Deng Qiang!"

!

Looking at Deng Qiang speechlessly, Zhang Cheng didn't know what to say to him; he could only say, this guy is truly talented!

And just after ending the conversation, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "The two of you have arrived for the first time, and I don't know what to say, but going back is impossible. After all, my ministers won't allow it! I hope you will communicate more in the future! Send the two of them to the harem!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the palace maids took Xie Daoyun and Feng Suzhen away with resentful faces.

Clearly they had been in the palace for so long, but why didn't they get His Majesty's favor!

Watching Xie Daoyun and Feng Suzhen leave, Zhang Cheng gave a thumbs up and said, "Well done, Deng Qiang!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's praise, Deng Qiang also couldn't help but laugh loudly.

And just then, the historian picked up his pen and said, "Military Affairs Great General Deng Qiang captured two women from Jiangnan and returned. Xie family girl Xie Daoyun, Zhu family girl Feng Suzhen, His Majesty is very happy..."

"Your Majesty, hurry and kill him, hurry and kill him!"

Pointing at the historian and roaring, Deng Qiang couldn't help but roar.

Because if this was left for future generations, who knew how he would be distorted! After all, a sycophant was indispensable!

And hearing Deng Qiang say this, the historian leaned forward and said, "Come, hack me to death!"

"I!"

Looking at the historian in anger, Deng Qiang couldn't help but be annoyed and said, "Your Majesty, are you not going to manage this?"

"How can I manage it? He has two brothers, three sons below, eight grandsons... you come?"

Gazing at Deng Qiang, Zhang Cheng handed over the long sword in his hand.

Looking at Wang Meng in shame and anger, Deng Qiang couldn't help but say, "You didn't tell me this either!"

"Meng doesn't know, Meng doesn't understand, Meng doesn't know!"

Turning to leave, Wang Meng turned and ran, saying, "The Cabinet still has things to do, I'm leaving!"

"I gave you the opportunity, you didn't use it!"

Looking at Deng Qiang with disdain, the historian continued to hold his pen and said, "Deng Qiang was ashamed and angry, wanting to kill this historian, but the subject is upright and unyielding..."
