Zhao Bing followed the sound and saw a few people walking out of the crowd. The first person was a middle-aged scribe in his fifties. He was dusty, wearing a silk scarf on his head, a raincoat, a pair of straw sandals on his feet, and his trousers were covered with mud.

w w?w．

Behind him were several strong men holding horses and carrying long knives, obviously his followers.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Zhensun, the envoy of Guangnan East Road, is here to see His Highness!" The scribe walked a few steps to the steps, bowed and saluted.

"Oh, are you Zhang Zhishi?" Yesterday, he said that it would take him a few days to arrive. Unexpectedly, he appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. Zhao Bing asked uncertainly.

"This is the official's seal. Please check it with Your Highness!" Zhang Zhensun saw that His Highness was suspicious, and it was not surprising to think that they were not acquainted with each other, so he untied a package from the waist of an attendant, took out a box and held it in his hands and said.

"Sir, are you right?" Ni Liang went down and took it and handed it to Zhao Bing. He didn't know him, so he handed it over to Ying Jieyan for inspection.

"Your Highness, that's right!" Ying Jieyan nodded after looking at it carefully.

"Master Zhang didn't even announce his arrival. It's a sin for me not to prepare a banquet to wash away the dust!" After confirming this, Zhao Bing immediately went to welcome him and said with a smile.

"Your Highness is too polite. I came here without telling you. I hope your Highness will atone for your sins!" Zhang Zhensun hurriedly returned the courtesy and said.

"Your Highness, this is not the place to talk. It's better to invite Mr. Zhang into the house to talk!" Ying Jieyan followed and said.

"Master Zhang, please!" Zhao Bing introduced several big bosses from the Shuai Mansion to him, and everyone greeted each other and said.

"Your Highness, there are still many people here, let's deal with official business first!" Zhang Zhensun pointed at the bewildered squires and people below the steps and smiled.

"I am really confused, but Mr. Zhang is the parent official here, so please let me handle it!" Zhao Bing smiled and patted his head after hearing this.

"Hey, I've just arrived. I don't know what's going on, so I'd better bother Your Highness!" These people came here for Your Highness. They were so polite. How could Zhang Zhensun dare to sacrifice his life and take over as his successor? He hurriedly declined.

"Even so, I will do it for you." Zhao Bing was no longer polite. It was not a problem for so many people to crowd in the yamen gate, so he invited more than a dozen squires and elders from various guilds into the mansion.

…

Zhao Bing had already made a plan just now, and he had a purpose in not accepting everyone's things. After everyone sat down, he started to speak. He first announced to everyone the losses caused by the storm to Guangzhou City, and also talked about the disaster relief arrangements in the government.

The commander's army was about to evacuate, and he hoped that everyone would donate some money and food to help the victims.

But this time the government was not involved. Instead, they elected fair and clear people to preside over the matter. They arranged the use of donations and were responsible for burying the dead, caring for the injured, repairing destroyed houses and bridges, rebuilding collapsed dams and salt fields, and so on.

In order to tide over the difficulties. Afterwards, the government funded the donation and engraved the donor's name and amount on a monument and erected it in front of the government office gate as a reward.

Zhao Bing's arrangement in this way is equivalent to using the money given to him as tribute to the victims, without requiring them to contribute additional money, and those who donated money will have a good reputation and leave a good impression on the prince. How can everyone refuse such a good thing, and they all

Expressing his willingness to serve, he immediately selected five people to handle disaster relief matters under the witness of His Highness and other officials. Of course, Zhao Bing praised them again before sending them to the house in person, which was enough to give everyone face.

After sending these people away, Zhao Bing went back to the hall to talk to Zhang Zhensun, and then he understood what was going on. It turned out that Zhang Zhensun, together with Wang Daofu and Ling Tong, began to collect taxes in the name of Zhizhi after receiving the order.

Recruiting soldiers, gathering stragglers scattered everywhere, and preparing to attack Guangzhou. However, there were still Yuan troops staying in various counties and counties in Guangdong, and they were unable to gather enough strength in a hurry. While making preparations, they heard that the commander-in-chief's army had already arrived.

News of the recapture of Guangzhou.

After Zhang Zhensun discussed with Wang Daofu and Ling Tong, they believed that if the enemy troops were lost in Guangzhou, people would be panicked. In addition, the enemy troops continued to withdraw northward, which was a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation to regain the lost territory. So they led more than 3,000 people to the border.

He conquered the prefectures and marched towards Guangzhou. On the 6th, he recovered more than a dozen prefectures and counties. In this way, he fought all the way to Huizhou. At this time, there were 30,000 to 40,000 troops, and the envoys sent by the commander's office also came here.

Conveyed Zhao Bing's intention and asked them to accept Guangzhou.

At this time, the Guangdong Army had a large fortune, and the imperial court was stranded near the coast of Guangdong. They also needed to pay, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to raise food and wages in the areas they had just recovered after war. It was imperative to march into Guangzhou. In the past, there was no march.

Under normal circumstances, the train, car, and brigade could only march thirty miles in a day. However, a hurricane swept the coast. The roads were muddy and difficult to travel, and the speed was even slower. However, the commander-in-chief’s office was pressing hard, so Zhang Zhensun took a few followers to brave the rain.

First, they traveled day and night and arrived outside the city last night. Because the city gate had been closed long ago, they could only enter the city early in the morning, and they happened to catch this scene.

After talking for a while, Zhao Bing saw Zhang Zhensun trembled, and realized that they were as tired as dogs after traveling for several days. No matter how ignorant they were, he knew that they should rest before talking about business. He ordered someone to prepare hot water and rice.

, arranged a place to stay and asked them to discuss the handover tomorrow.

"Your Highness, what you did today is really beyond my expectation and admirable!" There were no outsiders in the hall, Ying Jie said with a smile.

"This is all taught by the teacher, is there anything wrong with it?" Zhao Bing said with a smile, cursing in his heart that you guys are treating me like a pawn, but who am I doing this for?

"Your Highness is like this. I think it is appropriate and there is nothing wrong with it. It's just..." Ying Jieyan looked at His Highness and hesitated to speak.

"Sir, what you want to say is that I can't afford to go early because I don't have any profit. If I don't take the money I got, I must have some arrangements, right?" Zhao Bing saw the smile on the old man's lips and understood what he was thinking. He was trying to find out what he was thinking.

At the end of the day. And from his "cheesy" look, you can tell that he was definitely not someone who made people worry when he was a child.

"Haha, His Highness is indeed smart. We are about to evacuate, and His Highness has already ordered disaster relief. This is the most benevolent thing, and it is natural to accept the tribute from merchants. But His Highness only took one penny. I am really puzzled?" Ying Jieyan was asked.

His Highness pointed it out and did not feel embarrassed. He laughed and asked again.

"If I say that the king is merciful and can't bear to see the suffering of the people, sir, I won't believe it!" Zhao Bing understood that the old man meant that he was pretending, so he laughed to himself and said, "But sir, you must know what the people's support is.

, the city of Guangzhou will still be a key area of ​​contention between the enemy and us in the future. If we want the people to still be loyal to us under the threat of the Mongolian sword, it is difficult to achieve it with just a few words of loyalty. Only by letting them truly
