Chapter 471 Zhu Biao Does Not Believe that All Soldiers of the Yan Clan Are Like This

By the Qinhuai River.

Zhu Chong surrounded Zhu Di, standing on the dock, waiting for the Japanese soldiers to arrive.

The two sides of the river were full of people.

Lü Ben and Hu Weiyong, two idle people, hid in the crowd behind the royal family headed by Zhu Di.

Lü Ben looked at Zhu Di, Zhu Chong and others who were talking and laughing in a low voice, stared at the river, and whispered: "Prime Minister Hu, do you think Zhu Silang's army will be the same as his marines?"

There were only 500 people in that group.

Wearing white military uniforms.

The marines with blue ribbons floating behind their heads left a deep impression on him.

Listen, now the people around are also discussing whether the Yanfan Army is exactly the same as the Yanfan Marines.

Hu Weiyong stood on tiptoe and looked at the river in the distance. Hearing the sound, he bent down slightly and smiled softly: "Lord Lu, how can such elite troops be popularized? Don't worry, the Marine Corps is Zhu Silang's face. How can a person dress up his face beautifully?"

Lü Ben secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his lips, "What do you think of the frontal blocking battle and the rear guerrilla warfare?"

Hu Weiyong knew that Lu Ben was actually asking him whether Zhu Silang could win this battle.

"Lord Lu, don't worry." Hu Weiyong stared at the river in the distance and patted Lu Ben's shoulder gently. "During this period, I also studied the so-called frontal blocking battle and rear guerrilla harassment tactics, and consulted some Huaixi nobles who knew about military affairs. They all said that the probability of this possibility is very high, and this judgment was made by Zhu Silang. We should believe in Zhu Silang's judgment!"

Lu Zhongheng and others said.

If this tactic really happens in Japan

Then, even if Zhu Silang's Yanfan army can win the war in the end, the losses will be very heavy, and Yanfan will pay a huge price.

"But..."

As soon as Lü Ben opened his mouth, Hu Weiyong stroked his beard and smiled, "But Zhu Silang knew that this battle was very dangerous, but he still dared to send troops. Is there a solution?"

Without waiting for Lü Ben to nod, Hu Weiyong asked himself and answered, "It's impossible. The lower-class people and upper-class elites in Japan have the same desire because the entire family of the Japanese emperor was killed. There is no way to break it. The reason why Zhu Silang is willing to pay a great price to conquer Japan is, in the final analysis, for the land and people. What we have to do now is to turn Japan into a bloody abscess for Yanfan, so that the war in Japan will continue for a long time, one year, two years, or even four or five years!"

Finally, drag Yanfan down!

Lü Ben stared at Zhu Di's back and smiled coldly. Zhu Silang wanted to offer land and people to improve the culture, civilization and influence of his Yanfan.

He was ambitious and knew the difficulties of this battle, but he still insisted on fighting a battle in the end.

This is the beginning of Zhu Silang's downhill road.

In history, there are many such monarchs!

How many heroes, for a purpose, thought they had weighed the pros and cons and made the right decision, but fell!

"Here it comes!"

The sudden excited shout interrupted Lu Ben's thoughts.

Lu Ben raised his head and extended his sight forward.

On the river.

The navy warship formation with the Ming dragon flag was the first to appear in sight.

Behind the Ming navy formation.

It was a larger fleet formation.

There were more giant ships of the same size as the Duke-class warships.

Everyone has seen this kind of ship.

The Yan Fan called it a cruise ship.

In the past, this kind of cruise ship often sailed into the Qinhuai River and picked up a boatload of rebels who chose to migrate to the Yan Fan from the Jinling Resettlement Office!

Under the gaze of countless eyes.

On the sea ship.

The black and white figures, lined up in squares, stood on the deck of the ship, standing quietly.

The smile on Hu Weiyong's face gradually disappeared.

Although it is still impossible to feel whether this Yanfan Army is as good as the Marine Corps because of the distance, and has the temperament to confuse and make fools trust.

But he has taken the lead in feeling strong pressure from the warships that are neatly arranged in a square formation.

On the left bank of the river.

Xu Da and Tang He surrounded Zhu Yuanzhang on the left and right to protect him.

The three old brothers stood among the people, observing the warships passing by on the river in front of them.

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes, holding up the monocular telescope given to him by Zhu Di, adjusting the telescope, and whispered: "How does the Yanfan Army compare to our Ming Dynasty New Army?"

"Salute to the Ming people!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice just sounded, and before it fell, a clanging sound came from a cruise ship passing by more than ten meters in front of him.

Click!

Pop!

In an instant, the soldiers on the ship, wearing black and white uniforms, stood like pine trees, stood at attention, facing the river banks on both sides, and raised their hands to salute.

"The army salutes us common people?"

"This...this..."

"I heard that the army of the King of Yan is like this in Yan Fan, and is respected by the people."

...

Tang He put down the telescope, turned his head and looked at the people around him who were surprised and talking, and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, in fact, we don't need to make an evaluation. Just listen to the voices around you and you will know which is better, the new army of the court or the army of Yan Fan. Our army will only make the people feel scared."

On the other hand, what about the new army of the fourth Yan Fan?

Every move, even a slight expression on the face, can make the people feel willing to trust and rely on it.

This kind of temperament cannot be pretended.

It cannot be acted.

Only when every soldier in this army has the people in their hearts, their subtle expressions and behaviors in daily life can make the people trust them.

As the saying goes, appearance is determined by the heart.

That's the truth.

"I want to go to the fourth Yan Fan to have a look now."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard the voice, "Go, all go! We old guys may not have a few years to live. If we don't go this time, we may not have another chance."

Xiongying commented: The fourth Yan Fan represents the future and the development direction of every responsible and conscientious regime.

They are old guys who came from the old times and established a career.

They are old.

They can't wait for the Central Plains to reach this point.

Go to the fourth Yan Fan to see what the future looks like.

Even in the underworld, they can rest in peace.

...

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang and the other two were observing and evaluating.

The Ming Navy sailed directly to Wudingmen and made way for the dock.

The warship formation of Yan Fan began to approach the dock.

Liu Sheng and Yu Jing, the generals of the navy and the army, were the first to come down from the flagship.

They walked quickly to Zhu Di and saluted.

Liu Sheng reported: "Your Majesty, according to your order, the two towns and a cavalry mixed brigade with a total force of 30,000 have arrived. Please give your instructions!"

Under the gaze of Zhu Chong and other brothers and nephews.

Zhu Di raised his hand in return and ordered: "The Ming court has prepared a camp for the brothers to rest. It is next to the Beijing camp. This is the liaison sent by the Five Military Governor's Office of the court..."

Zhu Di pointed to the clerk from the Five Military Governor's Office who came to his side.

"Leave the artillery and baggage on the ship, let the soldiers only carry the muskets off the ship, and follow the liaison officer of the Five Military Governor's Office to the rest camp."

"Your Majesty has specially issued a decree that the soldiers can leave the camp and enter Jinling City without carrying weapons during the rest period."

Liu Sheng and Yu Jing looked at each other, stood at attention and saluted, and smiled happily: "Yes!"

Liu Sheng then smiled and said: "Your Majesty, thank you for your consideration. On the way, the soldiers were still discussing whether they could go to Jinling City to take a look."

Zhu Di smiled.

His eyes were cast on the cruise ship approaching the dock.

Jinling is the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty after all.

Except for the soldiers of the First Town, who followed him to the north, returned to the court to participate in the Jinling military parade, and briefly entered Jinling City.

Other soldiers only knew that Jinling was the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty.

But what it looks like inside.

But they have never seen it.

Liu Sheng and Yu Jing led the navy and army soldiers and stood on the right side of Zhu Di.

Zhu Chong led a group of princes to look at Liu Sheng and others who were wearing black wide-brimmed hats, black canvas military uniforms, and a pair of leather and canvas boots.

Liu Sheng turned his head and greeted with a smile: "King Qin, King Jin..."

Zhu Chong pinched Liu Sheng's military uniform and said with emotion: "Your military uniform made of canvas is really beautiful and majestic."

Canvas is a kind of fabric.

It is simply suitable for making new military uniforms.

The fabric has a certain "hardness".

When worn on the body, it has clear edges and corners, reflecting the firm temperament of the soldiers everywhere.

Liu Sheng smiled, "Everyone in the army likes this military uniform made of canvas."

In the past, even if the military uniform was made of thick work cloth and matched with a belt, it felt a little loose.

But since the change to canvas, the loose problem has been solved at once.

Click click click...

The sound of neat footsteps sounded.

Attracted the attention of Zhu Chong, Zhu Yu and others.

A group of people looked at it together.

A battalion of soldiers first lined up from the cruise ship.

It was similar to the last time when the First Army Regiment came back, but also slightly different.

When passing by Lao Si, every soldier raised his hand and saluted in unison, and the respect in their eyes was very obvious.

Zhu Chong whispered: "Lao Si, call a soldier to come over for us to see."

Zhu Di heard the voice, turned his head with a smile and looked at Zhu Chong, and then looked at the other brothers.

"Zhang Zhiming!"

"Here!" When Zhu Di shouted, the soldier at the end of the first battalion responded loudly, stood at attention, turned around, and trotted to Zhu Di.

He stood at attention and saluted, saying loudly: "Zhang Zhiming, a soldier from the first battalion of the first regiment of the first regiment, reports to the prince!"

Zhu Di raised his hand and saluted, "The Qin king and his men want to talk to you. You should answer whatever the Qin king and his men ask."

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhiming stood at attention and turned around, came to Zhu Chong and saluted, "Soldier Zhang Zhiming reports to the princes!"

Zhu Chong and others were slightly stunned.

They soon understood.

This salute should be similar to paying homage.

Zhu Chong, the head of the princes, beat their chests in return.

After the military salute.

Zhu Yu spoke first and was curious: "Is your original name Zhang Zhiming?"

It's no wonder he was curious.

It's impossible for ordinary people to give names in such a literary way.

"Are you from a scholar family?"

When Zhang Zhiming smiled honestly, Zhu Yu knew that the soldier under the command of the fourth brother was definitely not from a scholar family.

Zhang Zhiming answered loudly: "Your Highness, my family is a peasant family, and no one in my family can read or write. My former name is Zhang Yudan, and I am from Min County, Fujian. I gave myself the name Zhang Zhiming after I learned to read and write in the army. My military service card and identity card have now been changed to Zhang Zhiming."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhiming took out a small iron piece with an arc and a rope tied to it from his neck.

Brothers Zhu Chong and Zhu Yu were curious and came over.

They saw a string of numbers and Zhang Zhiming's name written on it.

Zhu Fang asked curiously: "What is the use of this military service card?"

Immediately, Zhang Zhiming explained: "My princes, if something happens to the military department on the battlefield, this military service card can help confirm the identity of the military department. Then, by comparing the place of origin and parents' information on the military service book, you can know the military service department. family information."

"If you are retired from the service and take a sea ship, and you have this military service card representing military service, you will be exempted from the ship fare if you are disabled. If you are not disabled..."

"If the staff retires and banditry occurs in the local area, the staff can just show the military service card and call on the young people of the rural communities to obey the orders of the staff and resist rebellion and banditry..."

…

Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu looked at each other in surprise.

They didn't expect that such a small military service sign could have such a big effect.

Retire?

With such outstanding soldiers, Lao Si was willing to let them leave the army?

I don’t know what the fourth child is thinking.

It shouldn’t be easy to train a soldier to be literate, right?

Zhu Ming looked at Zhang Zhiming's outfit with an incomprehensible mood.

The boots are slightly different from the general's.

The uppers of generals are made of leather, while the uppers of ordinary soldiers are made of several layers of canvas, just like the uppers of their boots.

There is a row of buttons on the side of the boot shaft. Once the buttons are buttoned, the trouser legs are tightly bound inside.

The last time the Army's First Army returned to Korea to assist in the war, they were still wearing leggings.

He also wore thousand-layer cloth shoes.

Nowadays, they have all been replaced by rubber-soled boots.

From this small detail, we can see that the fourth Yan Fan has made great progress in economy and technology.

This detail.

The court can’t do it!

Let’s not talk about money.

This technology doesn’t exist!

Dong dong dong...

Zhu Xi was attracted by the sound of metal. He looked up and saw the fifth-year-old Zhu Xi standing next to him, tapping Zhang Zhiming's hat on his back with his fingers.

Use a rope and hang it around your neck.

Zhu Tie pointed to the dark helmet and asked in surprise: "Is this made of iron?"

Zhang Zhiming took off the helmet and explained with a smile, "This is a helmet, made of steel."

As he spoke, he took off his big-brimmed hat, revealing a big head with short inches, and then put on the steel helmet, "The staff wears steel helmets when they go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and for daily training. The rest of the time, they wear the big-brimmed military uniform." The military cap is a kind of daily dress.”

Zhu Ping's brothers looked at each other.

How much would it cost for Laosi to buy such a complete outfit for the Yan Fan Army?

After letting Zhang Zhiming return to the team.

Brothers Zhu Di walked forward quickly and asked Zhu Di in a low voice, who was standing in front of the pier and saluting the officers and soldiers on the disembarkation: "Fourth brother, how much do you get for equipping an ordinary soldier now?"

Zhu Di raised his hand to return a salute to the passing soldiers, and whispered: "It cost two taels more than before. The canvas military uniforms are even more economical than the previous labor cloth uniforms. However, the production of military service plates, boots, and steel helmets, even if we The arsenal does it on its own, trying to control costs as much as possible, and there will be a lot of additional expenses.”

"Fourth brother, is it necessary to spend so much money?" Zhu Gui asked confused.

Zhu Di looked at the brothers nodding from the corner of his eye, fully agreeing with Lao Shisan's words.

He smiled and said: "It's worth it. These details can increase the sense of honor of the soldiers. In addition, they also have some other functions, just like the steel helmet and the big-brimmed hat. In fact, with the steel helmet, it seems that there is no need for a military cap, but the soldiers During our daily rest, we go out for camp activities, or go to rural villages to participate in some assistance work. If we wear a helmet, it will be too serious and will not be conducive to mixing with the people, so it is worth spending more to make a military hat. "

"I had no choice but to replace my rattan helmet with a steel helmet. After the Century Bridge was built, the steel produced by a thousand small steel furnaces suddenly became useless. It would be a pity to abandon production and stop production..."

He knows better than anyone that large-scale demand can promote technological progress.

It was precisely because at the beginning, he tried every means and did not hesitate to use Yan Fan's financial subsidies to purchase steel smelted from a thousand small blast furnaces.

Used for making helmets and a range of other things.

To maintain production.

A year later, a factory produced a new type of carriage that made extensive use of steel.

Clock winder at the back.

bike.

Current steel consumption is already in short supply.

Coupled with the shortage of manpower and cost reasons, the steelmaking plant, even if it is controlled by the Yan Fan regime.

However, the craftsmen and the supervisors in charge of the factory were very resistant and continued to add small steel furnaces.

It is unanimously agreed that simply expanding small steel furnaces is far from enough to meet the increasing steel consumption as new horse-drawn carriages, bicycles, and reinforced concrete buildings continue to become popular.

Hence the idea of ​​converter steelmaking proposed by Jin Mi, in which pig iron and wrought iron slurry are mixed directly in a high-temperature converter to make steel.

And, in this direction, we continue to overcome technical difficulties one after another.

Facts have proved that the decision of the Yan Fan regime to consume steel was correct when it used Yan Fan's financial subsidies to purchase steel.

This incident not only developed steel smelting.

At the same time, the Economic Research Department of the Ministry of Finance also proposed an economic concept based on this incident: how to expand demand!

…

Groups of soldiers, after disembarking from the ship and landing, quickly formed a square formation at the pier, under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes.

Follow the phalanx that has already set off and head to the rest camp.

Lu Ben was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the phalanxes passing in front of him, his face looking very ugly.

Facts have proved that Hu Weiyong was wrong!

These Army Qiu Ba.

He has the same temperament as Qiu Ba from the Marine Corps!

Lu Ben secretly clenched his fists.

……

The mixed cavalry brigade was the last to disembark.

The soldiers led the smooth and strong war horses down from the boat.

They climbed on the horses at the dock.

The horses' heads, backs, and abdomens were covered with black canvas, and on both sides of the abdomens, a narrow and thin cavalry sword was hung on one side.

A musket was hung on one side.

The soldiers sat majestically on the horses' backs, holding the reins in one hand and saluting Zhu Di with the other, marching in formation.

Zhu Chong said with emotion: "Fourth brother, your mixed cavalry brigade is majestic, and the war horses are well-raised."

Only the fourth brother Yan Fan could support such a wasteful equipment.

He couldn't wait to see how this cavalry, armed to the teeth, would perform in the war against Japan.

Zhu Di shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Second brother, I can only support one mixed cavalry brigade like this."

Now Yan Fan can breed war horses by itself.

To be honest, Luzon is like spring all year round, and it is not difficult to raise and breed war horses with alfalfa and other forage.

But it is too expensive to feed such a cavalry.

The daily consumption of a war horse is equivalent to that of three soldiers!

…

A wonderful landing of the Yanfan Army. Although the soldiers did nothing, they just got off the ship and lined up to go to the rest camp.

The people of Jinling were very excited.

It also made the elite of the Ming Dynasty silent.

…

That night.

The East Palace.

The study.

Ji Gang came back from the rest camp and handed a report after observation to Zhu Biao respectfully, "Prince, these are some of my thoughts after observation. Facts have proved that the Marine Corps is not specially built by the King of Yan to decorate his face. The 30,000 army cavalry and infantry of the Yanfan who returned to the court also have the qualities of the Marine Corps."

Zhu Biao put down the red pen.

He opened the memorial submitted by Ji Gang and read it carefully.

After reading it over and over again, he looked up and said, "You mentioned in the memorial that the fourth brother allowed the soldiers to enter Jinling City and move freely tomorrow in battalions?"

"Yes, I followed the Duke of Liang and others to the rest camp. That's what the King of Yan said to Liu Sheng, Yu Jing and others."

Zhu Biao closed the memorial, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "Help me pass on Hu Weiyong, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai... Let them accompany me on a secret tour tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Ji Gang hurriedly accepted the order.

He knew that the prince would go incognito tomorrow to see how the Yan vassal navy and army soldiers performed in the city.

It seems that the Jinyiwei also has to make some arrangements.

Tomorrow, all spies will be mobilized to keep an eye on the Yan vassal soldiers entering the city to see how they perform after entering the city.

The next day.

After the morning court was over.

Zhu Biao brought Hu Weiyong, Huang Zicheng and others to the tower.

Zhu Biao stood on the top of the city wall and asked: "Are you sure that the navy and army officers of the fourth brother have not entered the city yet?"

Ji Gang replied: "Sure."

Zhu Biao nodded and said nothing.

After waiting for a while.

"Here they come!"

Huang Zicheng shouted.

Zhu Biao looked in the direction of Huang Zicheng's finger.

A battalion of Yanfan army officers and soldiers formed two teams and walked freely. Two adjacent soldiers walked over, talking to each other.

Zhu Biao looked at these soldiers who were wearing canvas uniforms, wearing wide-brimmed hats, talking in low voices, and occasionally smiling.

He knew the general leading the team!

Xu Zengshou!

Huizu followed the fourth brother to Fujian and returned to the court.

But Yingxu and Zengshou were said to be unwilling to come back and wanted to follow their brother-in-law, the fourth brother.

Now, Zengshou has become a battalion commander.

As for his second brother Xu Yingxu, like Geng Xuan, he is now the commander of the battalion under the fourth brother.

Xu Zengshou was chatting with his deputy captain and did not notice that Zhu Biao and his party were observing from the top of the city wall.

When they approached the city gate, the team stopped and saluted the soldiers guarding the city gate, "Captain, His Majesty has agreed that our Yanfan soldiers can enter the city without weapons to visit the capital of Jinling. Do you want to check? I can let my brothers cooperate with you to check."

"Young Master Xu, look at what you said, we have received the order a long time ago, please."

"Thank you!" Xu Zengshou saluted again and led his battalion to the city gate.

A group of soldiers on duty looked at them and murmured with envy.

"Tsk tsk, the uniforms of the Yan Wang Army are so handsome."

"Yes, I used to think that we were awesome after changing into new uniforms, but now I find that the Yan Wang Navy and Army are ahead again."

"Captain, why don't you say anything?"

...

The captain came back to his senses and said with a smile: "When I was a soldier like you, I met Master Xu. At that time, Master Xu was so arrogant. Look, how good he is now, I don't even know him!"

Zhu Biao and others did not hear the soldiers' discussion.

After Xu Zengshou led his first battalion soldiers into the city.

Zhu Biao and his party also went down the city.

Soon after entering the city, Xu Zengshou turned around and smiled: "I will be active with the deputy captain, and the brothers will also be active in groups of two. We will meet here near noon."

"Disband!"

After that, Xu Zengshou left quickly with his partner, the deputy captain.

Huang Zicheng watched Xu Zengshou and the deputy commander leave directly, leaving behind a battalion of soldiers, who then dispersed in groups of two. He could not help but mutter, "The young master of the Xu family is really bold. He didn't tell anyone anything. Isn't he afraid that these soldiers will cause trouble in the city?"

The soldiers entered the city and caused some trouble.

This often happens in the Ming Dynasty.

The young master of the Xu family is proud of his status.

He thinks that even if his soldiers cause trouble, he can settle it with his status?

When everyone heard this, they looked at the soldiers who walked to the street stalls in pairs, thinking about something.

Ji Gang stood beside Zhu Biao, bowed slightly, pointed to one of the soldiers and said: "Prince, this soldier is called Zhang Zhiming, formerly known as Octopus Egg. After landing yesterday, he talked with the King of Qin, the King of Jin and others."

Zhu Biao nodded imperceptibly, "Let's follow Zhang Zhiming's group in a while."

Zhang Zhiming and his comrades walked forward.

Soon they found someone following them.

But they didn't care.

The comrade looked around and whispered: "Jinling is the imperial city, why is it not as prosperous as our Yanjing? There are no biogas lamps. What should we do in the dark night?"

"Sixth son, are you stupid? There is a curfew at night in the court!"

These words were heard by Zhu Biao and others.

Zhu Biao was fine, his expression was calm, but the others looked unhappy.

…

Zhu Biao followed two soldiers who were not familiar with Jinling City all the way, and finally turned left and right and came to the most famous red-light district in Jinling City.

Zhu Biao was embarrassed.

“Oh, aren’t these the soldiers of the King of Yan? Come in and sit down!”

Zhang Zhiming and his partner were dressed strangely, and were soon noticed by the brothel women standing at the door to solicit customers.

Then, they were surrounded by a group of women.

“Ladies, we have military discipline, please get out of the way.”

“Oh, you are blushing, you are not a fledgling, are you? Sister not only makes you feel so good, but also gives you a red envelope!”

“We sisters have been jealous of these soldiers under the King of Yan!”

…

Hu Weiyong stood beside Zhu Biao, watching more and more brothel women with more outstanding looks. When they heard the noise, they came out and surrounded Zhang Zhiming and his partner, and said with a smile: “Prince, I bet these two soldiers will definitely not be able to resist the temptation!”

He even knew one of the prostitutes.

She is the top girl in this brothel!

She has to spend a fortune to accompany guests.

Two vulgar soldiers, now they have such a good fortune, can they resist the temptation?

"Stop!"

At this moment, a shout rang out.

Zhang Zhiming blushed slightly, and while tidying up his clothes, he angrily said to the frightened woman: "We have military discipline. Ladies have hands and feet, why do you want to do such a self-deprecating business!"

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned.

Hu Weiyong felt his face burning.

He spent a fortune for that top girl, and now, a vulgar soldier can actually resist such temptation?

The top-ranking woman that Hu Weiyong knew sneered, "What the official said is nice. We are weak women who have fallen to this point. If we don't do this kind of business that you think is lowly, what else can we do? We want to be self-reliant, but will this world give us this opportunity?"

"Who said there is no chance!" Zhang Zhiming's comrade-in-arms blushed and retorted, "In our Yanjing, many women are engaged in various serious things, and no one does your kind of business..."

"Okay, let's go!" Zhang Zhiming pulled his comrade-in-arms and left quickly.

Zhu Biao and others were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

...

That night.

Zhu Biao's study.

Zhu Biao looked at Ji Gang and asked, "Tell me, did the Yanfan Army perform any crimes today?"

He believed that Zhang Zhiming and the other two were exceptions.
