Through Yitian: Mingzun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 673: With soldiers and horses in hand, I have the world

Zhang Wuji stayed with the girl in yellow shirt for three days in the ancient tomb.

Because according to the customs of weddings in the Central Plains, the fourth day is the day when the young daughter-in-law returns to her parents' home.This etiquette is called "returning to the door".It is to ask your parents and brothers at home to see if your life after marriage is good or not.Have you been abused by your husband's family?

However, like Zhou Zhiruo, Huang Shi Nu's parents died young, and the only family home he could return to was the Ancient Tomb Sect's Ancestor Hall.

After the girl in yellow shirt paid her last respects to her ancestors, she followed Zhang Wuji back to Bianjing without any further delay.

Although the girl in yellow shirt wanted to stay with Zhang Wuji in the ancient tomb forever, Zhang Wuji was the king of a country after all, and affairs in the court could not always be handled by a group of women.Therefore, after paying homage to her ancestors, the girl in yellow didn't waste a moment and followed Zhang Wuji back to Bianjing.

When they were leaving, Yu Cui saw her off in person. Even if she was only temporarily separated from the girl in yellow shirt, Yu Cui was extremely heartbroken.After all, she and the young lady have been inseparable since childhood.This time should be regarded as the first time the two of them were truly separated.

Until this time, Yucui finally understood what she meant.

Although she has a good impression of Zhang Wuji, the kind of affection is that of a little sister towards an elder brother, not exactly love.

She now finally knew that she had always wanted to marry Zhang Wuji, just because her young lady wanted to marry Zhang Wuji, and she didn't want to be separated from her young lady.

With tears in her eyes, Yu Cui waved goodbye to Huang Shi Nu and Zhang Wuji, then closed the stone door of the ancient tomb and went back to her room to cry bitterly.

A few days later, Zhang Wuji and the girl in yellow robe quickly rushed back to Bianjing City.

After the wedding to the girl in yellow shirt, Zhang Wuji's "holiday" was completely over.

He completely took over the government, and while he was away, the army led by Liu Futong also came back.

In addition, the food, finance, and captured soldiers, horses, money and grain of each province were also reported.

Zhang Wuji did not read the financial reports of each province in detail. He focused on looking at the results he had gained after destroying Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Wuji was destroyed and Zhang Shicheng gathered the remnants of Zhang Shicheng's troops, with a total of more than 100 troops and [-] large and small warships.Various jewelry including silver and copper coins, the entire property is worth more than [-] million taels of silver, and more than [-] million shi of grain.

As for the destruction of Zhu Yuanzhang, he gained the most.Because Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding to obtain their war resources, he also surrendered some of Zhang Shicheng's old troops.He also beat up Shen Wansan, the richest businessman in Jiangnan.And he captured Jinling City without paying much price.

The defenders in Jinling City even "were eating pots of pulp to welcome the king's troops."As for the other besieged cities, due to Zhu Yuanzhang's death and Xu Da and others' persuasion to surrender, Zhang Wuji basically accepted them all.Therefore, the loss is not big and the gain is not small.

According to statistics by Su Mengqing and Li Shanchang, Zhang Wuji destroyed Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhang Wuji gained a total of more than 500 troops.There are more than a thousand large and small warships.Various properties were converted into silver, totaling more than [-] million taels.More than [-] million shi of food.

Today Zhang Wuji can be regarded as the real emperor.

After Zhang Wuji streamlined hundreds of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, and then streamlined some strong laborers for rear production, he did not count the extra troops in the Western Regions.Including Zhang Wuji's original Central Plains army, he now has a total of 85 land and sea troops.Among them, there are 55 elite infantry, 20 elite cavalry, and [-] elite navy.Although the number of people is not much different from the existing army of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, there is not even much advantage.However, Zhang Wuji's men are all absolute elites who have survived the "Chicken War" in the Central Plains. They are not only well-trained and rich in combat experience, but most importantly, they have high morale.

They are not comparable to the defeated generals under Meng Yuan's command.

More than a month later, Xu Da and others who were keeping vigil for Zhu Yuanzhang also rushed to Bianjing City to report on their duties.

Regarding the reduced generals under Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Wuji also retained their original official ranks and status based on the standard of using them without suspicion and employing them without suspicion. Even Xu Da, Tang He, and Chang Yuchun, who were originally the commanders, were retained.It was business as usual for him.

Although Lan Yu wrote to Zhang Wuji and wanted to be transferred back to Chang Yuchun's subordinate, Zhang Wuji refused.

Zhang Wuji's reply to Lan Yu's instructions was, "General Lan is as talented as a champion, he should lead his own army."

Lan Yu was extremely happy when she saw Zhang Wuji wearing such a tall hat for herself.Even though he was young and successful, Lan Yu was not too carried away.That's because his brother-in-law Chang Yuchun is still there.

In the original real world, Lan Yu was arrogant and domineering. In addition to being a powerful master, the most important thing was that he was just like Wei Yan in the late Shu Han Dynasty. Once Zhuge Liang died, there would be no one left to suppress him.

At that time, Chang Yuchun died early in the morning, Li Wenzhong and Xu Da died of illness, and Tang He returned to his hometown after becoming an official.The four commanders under Zhu Yuanzhang died and walked away.There is no one in the court who can rival him. No one else can match him in terms of ability or qualifications. Lan Yu defeated Bei Yuan and shocked the emperor with great achievements.He will naturally be more arrogant and domineering.

But at this time, not to mention the three commanders, even the most righteous Liu Futong in the world is here, so Lan Yu is naturally not so arrogant.But even if these people passed away, Lan Yu didn't dare to rebel. That's because he obeyed Zhang Wuji.

When the generals returned, the handsome ones were Xu Da, Lan Yu, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Liu Futong, and Zhang Dingbian.The generals also include Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Ding Pulang, and Zhao Pusheng.Zhang Wuji's team now has an all-star lineup.

As for Li Siqi, although he is also a general, now he has handed over his military power and plans to return to his hometown in Luoyang to become his own Xiaoyao Marquis.Zhang Wuji did not force his uncle. Since he liked leisure, he should go home and relax.

It's not that Li Siqi has no ambitions, or that he's been excluded in some way.

Because his purpose has been achieved.Li Siqi's purpose in seeking refuge with Zhang Wuji was just to preserve his family business.

The Li family has lived in Luoyang since the Jin Dynasty. Because they assisted the Mongols in destroying the Jin Dynasty, they became the Marquis of Wanhu. Since then, the Luoyang position has been passed down for many generations.All he wants is to preserve his family's ancestral property.Now that his goal has been achieved, and the imperial concubine Huang Shinu is there to rely on in the palace, why should he sacrifice his life again?Therefore, he left his official post and returned to his hometown early, carrying a cage and a bird at home, and enjoying himself with his family.

The same was true for his adopted son Zhao Qi. Because of his contribution to the jade seal and his many years of military exploits with Li Siqi, Zhao Qi was made a county marquis by Zhang Wuji. He also had three wives and four concubines, and lived behind closed doors. My own leisurely little days.

Now that he has money, food, troops, and generals under his command, the time has come to truly destroy the Yuan Dynasty and rebuild China.

With this all-star lineup in hand, Zhang Wuji began to intensify his troops, allowing these generals to quickly integrate into his team, so that the soldiers under his command could be fully commanded by them in battle.

Zhang Wuji fought for the final battle to completely destroy the Yuan Dynasty, instead of forcing the Northern Expedition like Zhu Yuanzhang did. He only drove the Mongols away, but did not completely eliminate them. This left him with great hidden dangers for generations.
