The roars of the cannons gradually stopped.
Many of the obsolete cannonballs were cleaned up.
Zhang Xuebing saw that the intimidation effect was not much worse, so he asked the soldiers to stop.
The roar of the artillery stopped.
The outskirts of the city instantly fell silent.
Only the discussions of the aristocrats remained.
Seeing that the main show had ended, many of those who had sharp eyes turned around and complimented Zhang Xuebing in the pavilion.
"Zhang Shao Shuai's soldiers are as fierce as tigers! Among them, those with advanced weapons were like divine weapons descending to the mortal world!”
"With Zhang Shao Shuai overseeing Beiping, we are all at ease!”
"Thank you, Zhang Shao Shuai, for returning peace to Beiping!”
The first to come out was the local tycoon, Yang Pingming.
Not only did this person rely on his ruthless methods, but he was also famous in Beiping for being a bootlicker.
"Isn't that so? We haven't been able to sleep peacefully these days!”
"Luckily, Zhang Shao Shuai came. Last night, we slept so soundly! Before coming out at noon today, he had eaten an extra big bowl of rice!”
The head eunuch was unwilling to fall behind and hurriedly chimed in.
Other than the two of them, the aristocrats underground also hurriedly spoke.
The faces of the commoners who had come to watch the show turned pale.
Three commanders had left, and now Zhang Shao Shuai had come. Could it be that they were still just changing the medicine?
Were they still just going to let these powerful gentry exploit the people of Beiping?
Suddenly, the mood of these Beiping people became depressed.
At this time, the world was in chaos.
As the original capital, Beiping did not have any special privileges. On the contrary, because of the many doors and the accumulation of aristocrats, the lives of the people were even more miserable than in other regions.
Among the many commoners present, which one of them had not been harmed by these aristocrats?
It was common for people to rob their houses and fields. Many people were even killed and their families were broken!
However, there was no one in Beiping City who could avenge the injustice of these people.
These commoners thought that with Zhang Shao Shuai here, the world would be different.
But now, it seemed that regardless of whether it was Zhang Shao Shuai or another marshal.
They were probably all on the same side as these aristocrats!
The lives of the common people were still not good.
Looking at the disappointed expressions of the Beiping people, the powerful gentry, led by Yang Pingming and the old eunuch, all sneered in their hearts.
These lowlifes must be thinking that Zhang Shao Shuai would be able to uphold justice for them.
What dogshit Zhang Shao Shuai?
They couldn't escape the warlord's old tricks!
These powerful gentry families thought that as long as the money and food kept up, no matter who was in charge of Beiping, they would turn a blind eye!
At that time, they would still be able to lord it over Beiping!
And these peasants and poor people could only be exploited by them! Bullying!
"Everyone."
But at this time, Zhang Qishan suddenly walked out of the pavilion.
Obviously, Zhang Xuebing didn't intend to show up, but left it to Zhang Qishan to ridicule this group of aristocrats.
Seeing this, these powerful gentry were dissatisfied. Usually, even the original three commanders would personally meet them.
Zhang Xuebing was just a young commander!
He actually dared to put on such airs at this moment?
However, although they were dissatisfied, under the intimidation of the armed soldiers, these aristocrats could only wait with smiles.
Zhang Qishan glanced at these fat gentry families with disdain. He sneered disdainfully in his heart, but his face was calm.
"Everyone should know that in recent years, the country has been drifting away. The foreign powers are like ferocious beasts, devouring our land and destroying our names.”
"Now, although the Demon Empress who invaded the country has been overthrown, we still face the covetous eyes of the great powers.”
"In order to protect the country, many young people have turned into corpses on the battlefield.”
Listening to Zhang Qishan's words, many of the powerful gentry felt disdain in their hearts. It was the same old thing about the country's righteousness. These warlords loved to mess with these useless things.
However, although they thought so in their hearts, these aristocrats still looked quite touched.
From the looks of it, those who did not know would definitely mistake these people for ambitious young people who were worried about the country.
"However…"
Zhang Qishan glanced at the appearance of that group of tyrants and sneered in his heart. The topic of conversation also changed abruptly.
However, this sentence was said in the hearts of these aristocrats. They were all smart people, and they instantly felt that something was wrong.
Some people wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but they realized that the place where the gentry gathered was already surrounded by soldiers with loaded guns.
Seeing the expressions of this group of people change a few times, Zhang Qishan still said to himself,"The foreign powers have a rich foundation. It is difficult to save the country with just one or a few people.”
"In that case, in order to expand our military armaments to resist foreign enemies, I, Zhang Qishan, will set an example!”
As he spoke, Zhang Qi Shan took out a merit book: "Zhang Qishan! Donate 100,000 yuan to fund the military!"
Outside the pavilion, many aristocrats were dumbfounded. They stared blankly at Zhang Qishan, who was holding the merit book high.
At this moment, these aristocrats finally understood that this grand fireworks show was designed for them.
In the pavilion, Zhang Xuebing sneered and raised his teacup.
Do you really think that my, Zhang Xuebing's, play is that good?
As the atmosphere changed, the Beiping citizens were also furious.
"Good! These men should donate more!”
The people of Beiping swept away their previous gloom because Zhang Shao Shuai was indeed different from other warlords!
Those warlords only knew how to protect those aristocrats and exploit the people.
But today, this Zhang Shao Shuai was standing up for the commoners!
Which of these despotic gentry hadn't stirred up the people of Beiping City?
In the past, when they were tyrannizing Beiping, the people dared not speak out.
But today, Zhang Shao Shuai was punishing these beasts that were worse than pigs and dogs. The commoners naturally had to applaud and support him!
The crowd was agitated, and countless black muzzles were pointing at them.
