The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 349 Zhu Jinzhang's Choice
To the northwest of Liaoping Prefecture is Yansi County, which is relatively flat.

Because Yansi County is close to a big river, the water network in its territory is relatively poor, and it is a rich land in Liaoping Prefecture.

Such a place must be taken down, and the priority should be very high.

Now Ming Wang Zhu Jinzhang is just outside Yansi County, and the city has opened its doors to him.

Zhu Jinzhang looked to be in his thirties, with a pair of torch-like eyes, which added a bit of majesty to him for no reason.

At this moment, Zhu Jinzhang was wearing armor and was staring at the people who came out from the south gate of the county seat.

This person is also dressed in armor, if Huang Tianyan appeared here, he could recognize this person as his sworn brother Zhang Ziming.

Seeing Zhang Ziming come out, Zhu Jinzhang had a smile on his face.

After approaching, Zhang Ziming knelt in front of Zhu Jinzhang, and said: "See Your Highness King Ming!"

Zhu Jinzhang got off his horse, stepped forward to help Zhang Ziming up, and said with a bright smile on his face, "Ziming, you won Yansi County in five days, and you didn't disappoint me!"

Zhang Ziming replied: "Fortunately, it's a fluke!"

Zhu Jinzhang put his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "You are good everywhere, but you are too modest. If other people made your contribution, they would have been buzzing in my ears long ago!"

After saying that, Zhu Jinzhang took off his helmet and walked straight into the city. The city ushered in his new master.

It is hard to say that there are serious troops lined up in the city, but the evil spirit on the faces of these people is not found in many serious troops.

From a relative point of view, these troops who have experienced life and death many times can definitely be called the division of tigers and wolves.

It's a pity that the opponents they encountered were even more tigers and wolves.

After stroking his beard, Zhu Jinzhang strode into the city gate, and all the soldiers around him knelt down and saluted.

The more troubled times are, the more we must emphasize these etiquettes, so as to strengthen the majesty, engrave the dignity of the upper and lower into the hearts of the people, and effectively establish order.

He Zhu Jinzhang started his career by relying on his iron wrist.

Behind Zhu Jinzhang, apart from Zhang Ziming who followed, there were other officers who were dressed much better than ordinary soldiers, and Zhu Xiaoyong himself was among them.

In order to better control the army, Zhu Jinzhang largely relied on his own family members, and he did not trust others.

So even if Zhu Xiaoyong was defeated, Zhu Jinzhang only punished him symbolically, and then gave him a chance to pay off his merits.

For example, this time when Zhang Ziming led the army to attack Yansi County, Zhu Xiaoyong was the deputy general. Now that Yansi County has been taken down, it is naturally half of Zhu Xiaoyong's credit.

When everyone entered the city, what they saw was a dilapidated situation. Fortunately, the zombies had been emptied.

Walking slowly towards the city wall, Zhu Jinzhang said in a deep voice, "Ziming, now that Yansi has been captured, what should be the next step?"

Without hesitation, Zhang Ziming replied: "Your Highness, we should take Baishan County!"

"Why?"

Zhang Ziming explained: "Baishi Mountain is located at the southernmost tip of Liaoping. It guards the main road of Liaoping and Yuanyang, and it can also connect with Laixuan Mansion. We will not occupy such an important place. If it is occupied by Yongwang Mansion... the situation will be extremely unfavorable to us. !"

Zhu Jinzhang nodded, but glanced at a scribe behind him, and said: "Wu Qing said, let us suspend the attack and focus on spring plowing... You are all my servants, but now you can't urinate in a pot go!"

This "Wu Qing", named Wu Pingxuan, was originally a small government official in Xing'an County, and was also the first batch of people who joined Zhu Jinzhang.

This person has been in the Yamen for more than ten years, and he has become Zhu Jinzhang's first staff member because he has a good mind and human feelings.

At this moment when Zhu Jinzhang pointed it out, Wu Pingxuan immediately took two steps forward, and talked to Zhang Ziming, "General Zhang, it's spring now, if spring plowing is not in time, what should we eat next year, we need to think about how long things will take..."

Before Wu Pingxuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Ziming: "King Yong is powerful, and the crisis is imminent. We don't have much time at all. If we don't take Baishan as soon as possible... Once the Yong army goes north, we will be safe. But keep it, you will be trapped to death!"

Zhang Ziming has a clearer understanding of the strength of Prince Yong's Mansion, so he has always advocated taking Baishan County first.

However, the water network in Yansi County is densely covered, which is a treasure land for guarding against zombies and farming, so in the end Zhu Jinzhang decided to take Yansi first.

Zhang Ziming originally thought that after taking Yansi County, Zhu Jinzhang would directly use troops against Baishan, but now it seems that things did not develop as he expected.

Wu Pingxuan sneered and said: "Don't forget, the Yongwang Mansion is also carrying out spring plowing, which is as dangerous as you said!"

Zhang Ziming said in a cold tone: "Prince Yong's mansion is already powerful, they can naturally plow in spring, but we can't!"

"They are powerful, are we just persimmons?"

Seeing that the two were about to fight each other, Zhu Jinzhang scolded: "Okay, why are you arguing!"

Only then did the two of them die down, but at this moment, neither of them obeyed the other.

In fact, Zhu Jinzhang was so entangled at the moment that he couldn't make a decision.

It goes without saying how important spring plowing is, but what Zhang Ziming said about Prince Yong's Mansion is indeed a worry in his heart.

So Zhu Jinzhang turned around and said to his subordinates, "What do you think?"

None of the generals present spoke, Zhang Ziming looked at Zhu Xiaoyong at the side, hoping that he could come out and say a few words.

Zhu Xiaoyong was the only one who had fought against Prince Yong's Mansion head-on, and it was only appropriate for him to explain the strength of the Yong army.

Zhu Xiaoyong bite the bullet and said, "My lord... the Yong army is strong, if we don't take Baishan County, the Yong army will put a knife on our necks before we starve to death!"

As the general of the defeated army, Zhu Xiaoyong undoubtedly overcame the great pressure by exaggerating the strength of the Yong army at this time.

If he didn't starve to death, Yong Jun had a knife on his neck... This sentence is very convincing.

Zhu Jinzhang's face was uncertain, and finally he turned his eyes to Zhang Ziming and said, "Two thousand troops, half a month, can we take Baishan County?"

After careful consideration, Zhang Ziming gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

"it is good……"

Zhu Jinzhang walked to the city wall, then turned around to look at the people behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Call the soldiers immediately, and go to Baishan in three days!"

Two thousand soldiers and horses are all the troops that Zhu Jinzhang can mobilize. After all, there are still soldiers and horses left behind in various places.

Strictly speaking, Zhu Jinzhang has more than 2000 soldiers and horses. Compared with the 3 population under his jurisdiction, the ratio of soldiers to civilians is already very high.

After all, the population of King Yong's Mansion is nearly [-], and the total number of soldiers and horses is less than [-].

Therefore, Zhu Jinzhang is not only inferior in military strength, but also greatly lags behind Zhao Yanxun in terms of productivity.

Just listen to Zhu Jinzhang said: "This time, the king will personally conquer!"

Almost all the troops were pulled out to fight, and Zhu Jinzhang had to lead the troops himself to be at ease. After all, this was related to the survival of his own forces.

"This expedition is of great importance. Everyone must perform their duties and work together to win Baishan County within [-] days!"

"Whoever delays the military plan, or is slack and procrastinated, I will punish severely!"

What he said was full of murderous intent, and all the people present were awe-inspiring, and they all bowed in response.
