Chapter 435 He and others originally followed Duke Zhuangyuan and fought to the death! (Third update)
Yang Douzhi on the side took a sneak peek at Gao Zhang, glanced displeasedly at the group of local soldiers who had their ambitions and destroyed his own prestige, and couldn't help but uttered a retort.
"Why are you afraid? Those guys are not rebels, they are murderers without blinking an eye."
"Besides, if they are making trouble in Suzhou, why should they ask those people from Runzhou to come and die?"
Gao Zhang heard that and shook his head with a smile.
"But if those murderous rebels come to our Runzhou to kill people and set fires, what will we do?"
"What should I do? Just run."
"It's good to run away. Uncles, have we ever thought about what to do with the chickens and ducks we raise, as there are old and young at home, and the crops in the fields are not harvested."
"Could it be that you uncles are really willing to let go of your employer?"
"So what if you don't want to give up? With just a few people, do I think Xiaolangjun can stop those rebels?"
"Of course, he thinks he can definitely stop it. If not, one of his children would have run away long ago."
Gao Zhang had a matter-of-fact expression on his face, and instantly won the favor of Gang Qubing. Indeed, that kid was at least an honest person.
"Then how do I know that I can stop you young man? Could it be that I recognize a general or a high-ranking official?"
"Yes, I recognize them, and I heard them say that the imperial court has sent tens of thousands of elite troops, and they are traveling towards the south of the Yangtze River at starry night. They will arrive in less than a month."
"Does the imperial court have millions of troops to pacify Zhu Shiyi, who is already notorious in Suzhou and even Jiangnan?"
#####
Fang Baihua stood quietly behind Gao Zhang, watching the handsome young man walking on the ground like the old farmers, talking there.
He bitterly complained about all the evil deeds of the Zhu family and his son in Jiangnan, which forced countless families to break up.
And Ming did not raise his flag to rebel, and except for a few desperadoes, most of the rebel troops under his command were forced to join the team.
The combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as that of the just imperial army. As for you country soldier uncles, we are not just fighting against the imperial court over whether or not.
Let alone fight to protect our hometown from the spread of war and fight for our loved ones.
There were more than a dozen local soldiers listening there, and they followed Gao Zhang's well-founded analysis and his clear and melodious voice.
It attracted the soldiers who were enjoying the shade on the canal embankment and gathered towards that side.
More than ten people, dozens of people, or even more than a hundred people gathered in dense crowds along that section of the canal embankment.
Gao Zhang had never known stage fright. Seeing more and more people, his voice became louder and louder.
Hearing that, the village soldiers and the imperial soldiers also nodded frequently.
But at this moment, the search for Gao Zhang on the ship failed, and several commanders who knew that he was patrolling incognito were rushing towards that direction...
"What's going on up there? There are so many soldiers gathered, could it be..."
One of the soldiers saw more and more soldiers gathering on the river bank in front of him. His face changed and he turned around to shout a greeting to Commander Na Xu and the other generals.
Commander Xu's face began to turn red when he saw if there were seven or eight hundred people there instead of one thousand.
"Are you sure it's over there? Hurry, hurry up, don't make any trouble, his little ancestor..."
At this moment, nearly a thousand imperial soldiers and country soldiers gathered around, looking at the little baby in rich robes and robes with wonder as he talked.
Finally, the crowd began to commotion, and soon, the crowd separated a path, allowing the generals in helmets and armor to appear in the small open space.
Then, the Imperial Army and the local soldiers saw the generals in bright armor quickly coming to the eleven or twelve-year-old little boy and saluting respectfully.
In an instant, more than a thousand soldiers suddenly became commotion, and the leader of the country soldiers who had been staying not far from Gaozhang looked straight at the handsome young man who was helping the generals up.
At this moment, their minds were all in a mess. Who was that child? That child who was good-looking, shut-up and reasonable, could it be...
As the whispers grew louder and the crowd became more and more commotion, Gao Zhang simply invited Fu An.
He put the purple robe on his body and tied it with a jade belt. He also inserted the two wings of his official hat and put it on his head.
After all, if you don’t take out the equipment that can reveal your identity at that time, who will believe you?
After signaling the wrong person to squat to the east, he walked directly to Fu'an's shoulders, using the posture of riding a horse, standing on Fu'an's tall body.
Then he bowed his legs to all sides and exhaled loudly.
"Uncles, now that I have introduced you to Dong, he will be appointed as the governor of the two Zhejiang roads appointed by the imperial court. He will be appointed as the governor of Zhejiang Province and his name will be Gao Mingzhang..."
"Am I going to challenge that prodigy number one scholar Gao Zhang?!" Someone in the crowd suddenly roared excitedly.
"I am correct or not." Gao Zhang nodded vigorously and replied loudly.
At the next moment, the already agitated crowd immediately became excited, and Gao Zhang was immediately dumbfounded.
Fortunately, although the soldiers were very excited, they didn't swarm around him. Instead, they all excitedly showed off the champion. Come and see the champion, he's actually smaller than his grandson.
Gao Zhang was immediately defeated, but fortunately, the soldiers of the generals who came over cleared a passage.
Gao Zhang simply continued to ride Fu'an, arching his legs and clasping his fists around him, and slowly let Fu'an support him towards the crowd.
At that moment, a loud-voiced Imperial Guard soldier couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Mr. Yuan Yuan, do I really want to join them in fighting the rebels?"
"Please tell me if those rebels will come over and kill me, will I, Lord Zhuangyuan, stay in Donglai?"
As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy crowd instantly became silent.
Everyone looked longingly at the handsome young man who was famous all over the world and had an excellent reputation, riding on a horse with an entourage.
"Gao Zhang was ordered by the emperor to quell the bandits in the south of the Yangtze River. How could he run away from the bandits when he saw them?
Here he, Gao Zhang, made an oath that he was willing to advance and retreat together with all the soldiers. If he violates this oath, he will be beaten by heaven..."
The oath was not finished yet, and the crowd once again burst into deafening cheers.
"Dong Yuan, they are willing to follow Duke Zhuangyuan and fight to the death!"
"He is waiting for the original followers to fight to the death with Duke Zhuangyuan!"
One person, ten people, a hundred people, a thousand people roared like a stormy sea, making the embankment tremble.
The country soldiers and imperial guardsmen who came from a distance all shouted in agreement, which was enough to change the color of heaven and earth.
Seeing that scene, Gao Zhang raised his fist high with all his strength, one after another, accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers.
