The Heavens: Starting from Traveling through Song Qingshu

Chapter 76 Killed!
In a compound outside Weizhou City, several people were sitting around the stove to keep warm.

All of them are tall and big, and they look very burly and powerful, not ordinary people.

One of the men warmed himself by the fire, and muttered, "Fourth brother, is your brother-in-law reliable? It's been almost a month, why is there no definite news yet?"

The man who was called the fourth child also said helplessly: "How can I be sure? When I left home, Lan Yu was still a skinny little guy, who would have thought that he would become a general after not seeing him for a few years.

Maybe this kid still blames me for leaving his siblings to join the rebel army! "

As he said that, he looked at the man sitting in the middle, and said, "Brother, if it's really impossible, let's go out and do it alone? With the abilities of our brothers, we may not be inferior to others!"

The eldest brother sitting in the middle shook his head and said, "Do it alone, where do you go?"

He stretched out his fingers and said: "You can't go to the north, the Mongolian Tartar cavalry is too powerful, if you go, you will die.

In the northwest is Xiao Ming Wang Zhang Wuji's forces. Although he was defeated in Henan before, the centipede is dead but not stiff. The foundation of Mingjiao is there. As long as you take a breath, you may be able to pull up another branch next year. army. "

Someone suggested: "Then let's go to the south of the Yangtze River! There is a lot of water there, and it is difficult to deploy the Tartar cavalry, and it is easy to develop!"

"It's too late!" The eldest brother sighed, "We started too late. Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are the most prosperous, and they were taken over by Song. Although the leader died in Jiangxi, it's been chaotic recently, but there is no place for us to stand.

In Hubei and Hunan, there has been a lot of trouble recently in the White Lotus Sect. The Holy Maiden of the White Lotus has almost killed all the gentry in the two provinces.We can't afford to mess with such a ruthless character.

As for other provinces, most of them are barren and impoverished, and the local aborigines are too powerful. Our few people going there are simply going to die. "

While talking, the eldest brother also had a sad look on his face, and said: "At the beginning of the year, I made a plan. Let's recruit some soldiers from the border of Weizhou, fight all the way to the south, and finally occupy Jinling, and use this as a basis to compete. world.

But you have also seen the current situation. The Song man occupied Jinling in advance, and even sent Lan Yu to lead more than [-] troops to the north. Liu Futong and Guo Zixing were beaten by him without any temper.

Don't say we don't have many soldiers and horses, even if we recruit some soldiers and horses, so what.

The Sapphire army is there, and it has completely blocked our way to the south. "

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh, "I don't know why, but we always feel that we are living under the shadow of Song Xuan, and all our plans and plans were blocked by his advance arrangements.

This world is very lucky, and he has already accounted for seven points.The best way out for the brothers now is to be able to hold a certain official position under his hands, which is not a disgrace to our abilities! "

The few people who sighed and sighed were naturally Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then a young man walked quickly with a smile on his face, holding a letter in his hand.

"Uncle, Sapphire replied!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard the words, took the letter and quickly browsed it.

"Haha!" After reading the letter, he laughed loudly: "Song Xuan is indeed a man of great courage, and Guo Zixing is afraid to reject us, for fear that we will steal his position.

And look at that person from Jinling, who hasn't met him yet, but just based on Lan Yu's recommendation letter, he dared to promise to lead an army alone. This kind of courage is really rare in the world! "

Among them, Xu Da hesitated and said: "Brother, is this reliable? If someone tricks us into killing us, we have no power to fight back!"

When he said this, Chang Yuchun became a little anxious, "What you're saying, you are sitting in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, with hundreds of thousands of troops under your command, if it wasn't for my brother-in-law's recommendation, they would know who we are?

Not to mention the relationship with Sapphire, even if there is no relationship, the other princes, don't they have nothing to do, just trick us to kill them for fun? "

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Okay, don't argue.

Our current situation, to put it bluntly, is like a bereaved dog. Now, thanks to Sapphire's relationship, we have found a good future for us. If we don't even have the guts to try it, we might just break up! "

As he spoke, he got up and said, "Don't waste time, pack everything up, and we'll leave for Jinling tonight! We'll know if it's a blessing or a curse!"

When Song Xuan saw Zhu Yuanzhang, it was almost the end of the year.

The whole city of Jinling was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere. The officials, who had been busy for a year, breathed a rare sigh of relief at this moment.

In the conference hall of Shuaifu, Song Xuan received the four brothers Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun.

These few people fit Song Xuan's perception of generals very well, they were all tall and burly, and they had a sturdy air when they stood there.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, Song Xuan paid a lot of attention, but he saw that he has thick eyebrows, big eyes, regular features, and a dignified appearance, which is completely different from the shoehorn face portraits handed down in later generations.

It can only be said that this Ming Taizu of later generations was really blacked out by the Qing Dynasty.

"I'll wait, meet the commander in chief!"

Zhu Yuanzhang and others bowed first, then hesitated for a while, then knelt down on one knee, and bowed again.

Song Xuan smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, there are not so many customs here. From now on, you can just stand and salute!"

As he spoke, he said to Lao Liu, "Give me a seat!"

After a while, several Tsing Yi guards walked in with chairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the others wanted to decline, but seeing that Li Shanchang and the others were sitting on chairs, they stopped declining. After thanking them again, they sat down.

To be honest, they are also very curious about the Jinling regime.

Previously under Guo Zixing's command, in order to maintain their majesty, Guo's surname did not dare to raise their heads too high even if they were standing, let alone giving them seats.

They originally thought that Song Xuan was sitting in the land of two provinces, with extremely high power and prestige, and he was definitely a very dignified and difficult person to get along with, but they didn't expect to see him today, it was completely beyond their expectations.

The other party looked very young, and behaved very kindly, without being aggressive at all.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang a little surprised. If the superior did not maintain his majesty, how did he manage to keep the hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces loyal, and how did he make the civil and military officials recognize their surrender?

Then, soon, he understood why.

But seeing that the marshal sitting in the main seat did not speak directly to the brothers, but turned his head to look at a military officer on the side.

"Where were we talking just now?"

The man said: "The investigation of the Tsing Yi Guards is over at the end of the year. A total of [-] officials including taking bribes, occupying civilian fields and persecuting the people have been investigated and dealt with. Among them, two are officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and one is an serving military officer!"

Song Xuan nodded, and said lightly: "Kill them all!"
