Since Zhang Yong was born in a poor family, he began to write at the age of 19. He was poor and had no books. He borrowed them and then copied them down to study hard. He is very diligent in reading. Without a desk, he is reading in the yard with his back against the trunk of a big tree. If he can't finish reading an article, he will never go into the house to have a rest. There are two sentences in the poem "persuading learning" written by Zhang Yong: "the gate of learning is not closed, so hard learning should be opened by oneself", which can be said to be a reflection of his hard study in his youth.

First magistrate

When Zhang Yong was a Jinshi in the five years of the Taiping rejuvenation of the country and a magistrate of Chongyang County, "the people were not engaged in farming and weaving, but in tea planting.". In the early years of Taiping's rejuvenation, in order to avoid the disadvantages of tea, the imperial court ordered to pluck tea and plant mulberry. Later, the government discussed tea, and tea farmers in other parts of Ezhou were unemployed or poor, so Chongyang County paid taxes to avoid the harm and lived a stable and prosperous life. Therefore, the people of Chongyang are grateful to Zhang Yongshu.

The leader, Wang Xiaobo, killed Qi Yuanzhen, the magistrate of Pengshan County. Later, Wang Xiaobo was killed by Zhang Yong's officers and soldiers, and Yu zhongtui Li Shun was the leader, who attacked and plundered the counties and prefectures. Taizong sent eunuch Wang ji'en to lead the army to assist Zhang Yong to defeat Li Shun and capture Chengdu.

In May of the fifth year of Chunhua, Chengdu was ordered to be Yizhou. Zhang Yu led the uprising army to rise again, conquering Jia, Rong, Lu, Yu, Fu, Zhong, Wan and Kai.

Zhang Yong sent troops to destroy it. After the call to worship things, full of the Ministry of household envoy. He was changed to Zhongcheng.

Be generous and love the people

After the chaos was settled, he pacified Sichuan, knowing that when the people were oppressed too much, they would take risks. Later, he became the governor of Hangzhou. During the famine, many people went to sell salt for a living. The officers and soldiers captured hundreds of people. After Zhang Yong taught them a few words, they were all released. "I'm afraid it's difficult to ban illegal salt dealers without heavy punishment," the subordinates said Zhang Yong said: "of the 100000 families in Qiantang, nine out of ten are hungry. If they don't sell salt to survive, once they make trouble and become thieves, it will become a great disaster. After the autumn harvest, when the people have grain, they will ban illegal salt trafficking according to the old law. " The history of the Song dynasty recorded this event and praised his understanding.

Anecdotes and allusions

One money to punish officials

Zhang guaiya was the order of Chongyang. An official came out of the Treasury. He saw a piece of money under his temples and scarf. He said that it was the money in the Treasury. Guaiya ordered the staff, and the official said abruptly, "what's the point of money? Is it the staff? If you can stick me, you can't cut me! " Guaiya aid pen sentence said: "a day a money, a thousand days a thousand, rope saw wood, water drop stone wear." Since the sword, the lower level cut its head, Shentai house from impeachment. It has been handed down by Chongyang people to this day.

Zhang guaiya was the magistrate of Chongyang County. When he saw a petty official coming out of the warehouse and a coin on his hair and sideburns, Zhang guaiya asked him. The petty official replied, "this is the money in the warehouse." So Zhang guaiya ordered his subordinates to beat him. The official was very angry and said, "what's the big deal about taking a piece of money? Just blame me? You can hit me with a stick, but you can't chop me. " Zhang guaiya took the pen and said, "if you steal one money a day, a thousand days is a thousand money. The rope is sawed and the wood is broken, and the water drips through the stone." After stepping down, he chopped him with his sword and wrote to the censor to impeach himself. This story is still circulating in Chongyang.

Kill the villain with sword

There was a scholar who was a petty official in a foreign country. He was short of public money and was coerced by a fierce servant. If he didn't marry his eldest daughter, he would go to report. The whole family had nothing to do, so they gathered late at night to cry. When Zhang Yong heard the cry, he patted the door and asked. The little official only said that there was nothing wrong. He asked again and again before telling the truth. At that moment, Zhang Yong took advantage of his servant and rode with him to the countryside. When he got to a place where there was no one in the forest, he killed the evil servant with a sword. When he came back, he told the little official that the servant would not come back again, and told him never to corrupt or break the law in the future. He once said to his friends, "Zhang Yongxing was born in a peaceful and prosperous age, and he studied self-discipline. If he was born in a troubled age, it would be unthinkable."

show common

Although Li Shun was pacified, Wang ji'en, the eunuch, had no way of unifying the army and disturbing the people, so Taizong sent Zhang Yong to rule Shu. Wang ji'en captured many disorderly parties and handed them over to Zhang Yong for punishment. Zhang Yong released all of them. Wang ji'en was furious. Zhang Yong said: "the day before yesterday, Li Shun threatened the people to be thieves. Today, he chants and publishes the thieves as the people. Why not?"

The soldiers of Wang ji'en's Department disobeyed discipline and plundered people's wealth. Zhang Yong sent someone to catch them, but he didn't tell Wang ji'en. Instead, he tied them up and drowned them in the well. Wang ji'en did not dare to ask him, both sides pretended not to know. When the soldiers saw that Zhang Yong was very skillful, they had more rules.

refuse to be contaminated by an evil influence

After Li Shun's rebellion in Sichuan, those who went to Sichuan as officials were not allowed to bring their families. Zhang Yong was the governor of Yizhou and went to his post alone. The subordinates were afraid that he would enforce the law severely, so they did not dare to marry concubines or buy maidservants. Zhang Yong was very considerate of his subordinates' sexual distress, so he bought some Shiji first, and the rest of his subordinates dared to buy Shiji. In the fourth year of Shu, Zhang Yong was called back to Beijing. When he left Beijing, he called Shiji's parents and paid for them to marry. Later, the husbands of these concubines were greatly grateful, because all they married were virgins.

Tangyin arson

When Zhang Yong was not elected, he once passed by Tangyin county. The magistrate talked with him about speculation and gave him 10000 Wen. Zhang Yong put the money on the donkey's back and drove the donkey home with a child. Someone said to him: "the road ahead is very desolate, the terrain is steep, and sometimes there are villains. It's more stable to wait until there are other merchants to go together." Zhang Yong said: "it's cold. My parents are old. How can I wait without cold clothes?" With only a short sword, he set out. After more than 30 miles, it was late. There was a lonely Inn beside the road. Zhang Yong went to stay. The owner of the inn was an old man with two sons. He was very happy to see that Zhang Yong had brought a lot of money with him. He quietly said, "there's a big business tonight!" Zhang Yong heard it in secret and knew that the innkeeper had a bad intention, so he went out to break many willow branches and put them in the room. The shop owner asked him, "what's the use of that?" Zhang Yong said: "in the Ming Dynasty, we have to go on our way before dawn. If it's better, we should be torches." He said that he would leave early. He expected that the owner of the shop would start early, so as to avoid being poisoned when he fell asleep. Just in the middle of the night, the shop owner ordered his eldest son to call him: "the rooster crows, and the scholar can start." Zhang yongbu
