The cowhide drum sounds

Li Hanming was a little upset.

He was a hundred households of the Zuoqianhu Office of the Jinan Guard. He knew about the news that the Huben Army entered the city very early. He wanted to surrender to the Huben Army, but he didn't want to continue to stay in the garrison. There were many people who were the same as him. However, the commander of the Shandong governor Sitian Wanyou did not want all the soldiers of the garrison to surrender to Zhang Zhun, so he convened all the officers of the garrison and held a meeting.

At the meeting, Tian Wanyou vaguely stated that Zhang Zhun would not be in Jinan City for a long time. Once Zhang Zhun left Jinan City, Jinan City would still be the world of the court. In other words, it would be a threat to all the military households below. Don’t choose the wrong partner, don’t regret it at that time. Tian Wanyou is a relative of Concubine Tian’s corner. Of course, it is not surprising that he has such a statement.

However, Li Hanming did not do it. In the eyes of Li Hanming and others, Tian Wanyou and others were just shit-eating and had no ability at all. He occupied the garrison, not to fight against the Tartars, but to use the garrison to fill his pockets. Shandong Dusi was under a lot of land, among which Tian Wanyou himself occupied tens of thousands of acres of land. The garrison was all occupied by these dog officials.

As a result, Li Hanming met with his boss, Tian Wanyou's confidant, Xie Qianhu, who was called "black-hearted ghost", who was called "black-hearted ghost". Because of the arrival of the Hu Ben Army, Xie Qianhu did not dare to do anything to him, so he had to leave in disappointment. Even so, Li Hanming was still full of anger. Li Hanming had been to Liaodong, and the location of this hundred households was completely obtained through military achievements. Li Hanming felt very disgusted with those colleagues who had a good meal.

However, as the political center of Shandong, Jinan City has many high-ranking officials, layered and closely related to each other. His small households are like ants in Jinan City. He is a senior official and crushes people to death. Even if he has great skills, he cannot use his skills.

Hereditary officers all have backgrounds. The longer the hereditary period, the more complex the network of relationships they establish. It seems that he has accumulated through military achievements like this. Li Hanming himself does not know how many people there are in Jinan City, so many military households, so many regular soldiers and Yu Dings, and he really has the courage to kill the Tartars.

Due to long-term arrears of food and wages and the oppression of senior military officers, most of the military households were already disappointed with the court. It was absolutely impossible for them to continue to serve the court. When they were young, Li Hanming went to Liaodong with all his passion and worked for the court. However, when he saw too much darkness, when he returned to Shandong, he no longer had the enthusiasm to serve the court. Every day, he lived like a walking corpse.

It was not until the arrival of the Hu Ben Army that a little bit of turmoil caused Li Hanming's numb heart. Li Hanming has always been concerned about the development of the Hu Ben Army. Because the Hu Ben Army killed many Tartars. The only thing that could make Li Hanming agree with this idea was the killing of Tartars. No matter who Zhang Zhun was, as long as he actively killed Tartars, Li Hanming felt that he was the object he could surrender to.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

After Li Hanming and Xie Qianhu had a conflict, they were ready to go home angrily, and suddenly they heard a burst of rapid drum sounds. In the military camp, the drum sounds were the orders for gathering. If the three-way drums did not appear, they would be beheaded. Despite being furious, Li Hanming still rushed to the west to compete.

The drum sound came from the Xijiaochang. The Xijiaochang was large in area and could accommodate 100,000 people. The Xijiaochang was established to review the entire Shandong army, rather than just the army of Jinan Prefecture. Generally speaking, only the Shandong governor had the power to beat the cowhide drums in the Xijiaochang. Even the Shandong commander Si Tian Wanyou did not have that power. The drum sound came from here, and it was obvious that something was going to happen.

"College!"

"College!"

"College!"

Along the way, Li Hanming could hear people screaming constantly.

Obviously, such an emergency gathering is very rare, especially the cowhide drums in Xijiaochang. Because, in Li Hanming's impression, the cowhide drums used to gather were broken from unknown time. They have not been repaired since then. Now, the drum sounds again, indicating that the cowhide drums have been re-sewn.

From the corner of his eyes, Li Hanming looked at the military households hurried to the western competition and felt more and more shocked. Usually, his superiors were not so active. In his impression, Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian had never beaten the cowhide drum here. Could it be that the Tartars came in? Thinking of the Tartars, Li Hanming's inner anger became even more intense. Instead of staying with those wastes all day, it would be better to go out of the city to kill the Tartars.

"It's the Hu Ben Army who beats the drum!"

"Zhang Zhun? No way?"

"That's right! It's him!"

...

Along the way, the military households who rushed to the West Gate were screaming in a low voice.

If someone else beats the drum, they might have to be slow for a long time and come slowly. Anyway, there is no big deal, and the superiors dare not take any action against the veterans, such as the veterans. Because of the arrears of food and wages, the military households have deep complaints, and the superiors dare not stimulate them too much, otherwise the military households will get up and turmoil.

However, the Hu Ben Army beats the drums, that's not enough. Nowadays, who do not know how powerful the Hu Ben Army is? In the past two years, the most popular names in Shandong are two names, one is Zhang Zhun and the other is Hu Ben Army. Especially Zhang Zhun, who is said to be a black-faced god, killing Tartars is like killing chickens. If it is in his hands, it will be a bad thing.

Sure enough, when Li Hanming arrived at the Xijiaochang, someone was already standing solemnly on the reviewing stand of the Xijiaochang. The gray military uniform and straight figure were indeed from the Hu Ben Army. In the middle of the reviewing stand, a burly young man stood in a gray military uniform, with a gloomy face and a cold look at every military household that arrived. Li Hanming estimated that he should be Zhang Zhun.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

The second drum sounded.

There are more people who are rushing to the West. Some people are afraid of being late and jogging. Some people even fall down because they are too anxious and hurry up and come over quickly. When the people next to them see their companions fall, they dare not laugh and have no time to help them. They pretend that they don’t see them and continue to come in a hurry.

Just kidding, the sound of drums this time can even feel that something big is going to happen. Especially when I heard that the Hu Ben Army beat the drums, no one dared to be negligent. Even if it was too far from Xijiaochang, I had to rush back desperately. The cowhide drums in Xijiaochang can be heard in the whole city, even in the cellar. Therefore, you cannot have any excuses to say that you didn't hear anything.

Moreover, when it was originally designed, the time interval between the three-way drums was enough for you to run from the farthest east gate to the west. Of course, if you were turtle-like speed, you would have to be beaten by a board or even dragged out to beheaded. Sure enough, after the second drum sounded, there were crowds running in all the streets of Jinan City.

The sound of drums in Jinan City naturally heard them. Seeing the military households running out of breath, all the people were suspicious and curious. These days, they have not seen the military households so actively respond to the Dianmao. By the way, these military households in Jinan City have almost become hooligans, either living a muddle or extorting, doing all kinds of evil. When did they go to the Western Conference so actively?

"Zhang Zhun is in the Western Conference!"

"No wonder! It turned out to be him!"

"Zhang Zhundianmao, who dares not? Do you want to be brainless?"

...

After a while, the people figured out the whole story and talked a lot. When Zhang Zhun arrived in Jinan City, the people basically knew. However, Zhang Zhun did not show up in public. The purpose of his arrival was to bring many troops, but the people didn't know. However, because he didn't know, there was a topic of discussion.

There are three garrisons stationed in Jinan City, 15 1,000 households. The full staff is more than 18,000 people. Due to the escape of military households, there are currently less than 10,000 people. However, almost every military household has brothers, that is, Yu Ding, etc., and the total number of people is also quite large. The total population of the three garrisons is more than 100,000. The total number of army and Yu Ding may be about 30,000.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

The third drum sounded.

All the army and Yu Ding came to the Western Conference.

Zhang Zhun glanced slowly over and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that his reputation was quite impressive. Looking from the platform, there were people with a large number of people, with at least 30,000 people. It seemed that the army and Yu Ding in the organization had basically arrived. It is worthy of being the largest city in Shandong. It is indeed crowded with people and rich human resources.

What is the most in shortage of Ming Kingdom? Of course it is human! Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, China's population has exceeded 50 million. No matter how many people were killed in the war, it has never been short of soldiers. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms have made such a big fuss, and no matter how many people are killed, it is not known that any force lacks soldiers. The population of Jinan Prefecture is more than 1.5 million, which is really a huge treasure pot!

"I am Zhang Zhun!"

"Zhang Zhun, the Grand Governor of the Later Army Governor's Office!"

"From now on, I will take over all the garrisons belonging to Jinan Prefecture!"

Zhang Zhun swept his eyes, raised his head and said loudly.

Because of the use of an iron amplifier, Zhang Zhun's voice can be spread from afar.

This is the first time that the military households in Jinan Prefecture heard Zhang Zhun's words with their own ears and saw Zhang Zhun's figure with their own eyes. They heard too many legends about Zhang Zhun, and they always felt a little untrue. Now, the real Zhang Zhun is standing in front of them. Many people were secretly relieved, while many people were a little disappointed. Because Zhang Zhun's appearance did not look like the legendary devil at all!

Last time Zhang Zhun's cavalry attacked Jinan City, they were frightened and scared for a long time. Many guards did not even see the figures of the Hu Ben Army clearly, and were beaten to death by the Hu Ben Army. Because the Hu Ben Army came without a trace, everyone in the Guard Army was in danger. No one knew whether the Hu Ben Army would suddenly appear from another place and teach them a lesson. In their minds, Zhang Zhun's image was a bit similar to the legendary devil.

"I have signed an order to waive your military status!"

"The court owes you money and food, that's the court's business!"

"As long as you work under my hands, you will never be in arrears of money and food!"

Zhang Zhun continued holding the loudspeaker.

"What?"

"We are not military households anymore?"

"Is this true? Is this true?"

Zhang Zhun's words were so amazing. Before he finished speaking, the military households below suddenly became excited. Their military households were removed? Is this true? Many military households looked at each other and rubbed their hands hard to curb their inner excitement. After the boiling, they deeply felt unbelievable. The military households' identities were hereditary. Is Zhang Zhun qualified to remove their military households?

For all the soldiers and Yu Ding present, the identity of the military household had a great impact on them. The identity of the military household was a heavy burden and an indescribable burden. I don’t know how many people couldn’t marry a wife because of this. Why? Because others were unwilling to marry a military household. According to the regulations of the garrison, as long as people who were next to the military household, they would become a military household. The military household was poor and dangerous, and they couldn’t even have enough food to eat, and they had to go out to fight. Who would be willing to live with them?

However, if their military identity is lifted, all these obstacles will no longer exist. They can have a broader world, they can use their abilities more freely, they can marry and have children like normal people. They can even travel around from now on, and no longer need to be confined to the identity of military households in a certain place or in a garrison.

"Does your words work?"

It was Li Hanming who spoke, and he had already made his promise.

He was angry, no matter who he was, he would not give face. Even Zhang Zhun questioned him bluntly. The news announced by Zhang Zhun was too shocking and too incredible. Li Hanming felt completely unreal, and he felt that Zhang Zhun was talking nonsense.

The people below are very quiet and are looking forward to Zhang Zhun's answer. Yes, is Zhang Zhun's words effective? Can he really remove all the military status from everyone? Don't make random promises! The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. They really cannot bear such loss!

Zhang Zhun's eyes fell on Li Hanming. This man was a little interesting and dared to question himself in public. If he was not an idiot, he was just a man. He didn't look like an idiot, he was just a man. If there were more military households in Jinan City, they wouldn't be a stagnant pool, dead and dying.

Li Hanming had no sign of fear at all. He stared at Zhang Zhun with his eyes wide open, and his waist was straight. His face looked a little red because of excitement or anger. What else is there to be afraid of for a person who is willing to do his best?

Zhang Zhun nodded casually and said deeply: "You come out!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Li Hanming, secretly worried about Li Hanming. Li Hanming's words undoubtedly angered Zhang Zhun. Who is Zhang Zhun? How could they ask easily? Once he gets angry, even the Tartars can only knock their teeth and swallow them into their stomachs. Li Hanming is definitely bad this time.

The sniper of the Hu Ben Army, the black muzzle, also fell on Li Hanming. With just Zhang Zhun's eyes and a slight move, Li Hanming would be beaten to pieces. The entire Xijiaochang suddenly became silent, and it was as quiet as if a needle fell to the ground could be heard.

Since Li Hanming has taken the initiative, he will naturally not be afraid. He strode to the front of the reviewing stand and looked at Zhang Zhun without squinting. When he walked out, everyone discovered that there were two obvious scars on his face, which seemed to be rubbed by an arrowhead.

Zhang Zhun asked sternly: "What's your name?"

Li Hanming replied with his head raised: "Li Hanming!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said deeply: "Li Hanming, I ask you, what do you want to say?"

Li Han said brightly: "We don't believe your promise."

All the military households below were even more nervous.

Li Hanming's words were very direct, sharp and powerful, but they just revealed the problem they were most worried about. On the issue of money and grain, the military households were deceived too much. Every time the superiors said all the good things, but they never saw them. There were quite a lot of military households, and the money and grain from the Tianqi period had not been distributed yet.

Zhang Zhun stared at Li Hanming with sharp eyes for a moment, and said slowly: "Why?"

Li Hanming said bluntly: "People from the court never keep their words."

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "I am not from the court."

Li Hanming said sharply: "You are the Grand Governor of the Grand Governor's Office of the Later Army, why are you not from the court?"

Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Last time you went to attack Qingzhou City, are you in it?"
