Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 93 The Selfless Dedicated Old Shen
Zhu Biao looked at Xu Da, thinking in his heart that he had to empty Xu Da out if he had time, there was still something hidden in Marshal Xu's stomach.

An idea of ​​hollowing out Xu Da slowly came to mind.

After hearing Xu Da's idea, the generals in the room began to whisper to each other again, one by two, they continued to deduce the feasibility of Xu Da's method. Soon, everyone reached a consensus, that is Xu Da said is the most appropriate way at present.

A letter lowered Wu Sangui's vigilance, and then the army hurriedly marched to directly capture Funing, shortening the front line to [-]% of the previous blockade. If one person patrolled a distance of one foot before, now three or four people patrol together for a distance of one foot. distance.

Daming's superiority in numbers can be reflected again, and the general's guns will not be too scattered, but the firepower will be concentrated, and most of the troops will be stationed in Funing City, and only need to garrison the main roads outside the city.

Zhu Biao looked at Liu Bowen, whose expression hadn't changed at all, and felt that Liu Bowen must have thought of it a long time ago, but he didn't know why he didn't say it directly. In the new world, Liu Bowen must use such a great talent, how could he be allowed to hide his clumsiness like this.

"Xu Da listens to the decree, His Majesty's oral order." Seeing the silence in the room, Zhu Biao calmed down slightly, and said seriously.

"Minister Xu Da, accept the order." Xu Da saluted quickly.

"Keep the enemy out of the gate of the country, eliminate all external enemies, lead troops to destroy the Qing Dynasty, destroy its country, and destroy its capital. Only one country is allowed to exist in this world, so please!"

"Minister, obey the order!" Xu Da said yes after Zhu Biao finished speaking.

At this time, all the generals in the room became excited. After all, Li Zicheng hadn't founded the country before, and the whole of Dashun's troops were ruined by the Ming Dynasty in a direct battle outside Beijing.

The generals who followed Xu Da in the Northern Expedition were better, and the few who had no chance to go to the Northern Expedition became excited one by one, destroying the country, what an honor this is.

Enough to make them famous through the ages.

All the generals were excited, but Xu Da was a little silent, thinking in his heart, how can he directly defend the enemy from outside the country, if they defend the enemy from outside the country, it is not enough for them to just station in Funing, they must occupy Shanhaiwei and occupy Shanhaiguan, which would be difficult It's difficult.

But once the army arrives in Funing and occupies Funing City, Wu Sangui will definitely become wary, and it will not be so easy to move forward and block Shanhaiwei directly.

As for the Qing Dynasty outside the pass, Xu Da really didn't pay attention to it. Tsoer is a small country, but this time it can gather so many battle-ready soldiers. It is estimated that there are no more men in the country.

Xu Da looked at the map laid out on the table, and frowned slightly. If it wasn't for the lack of time, Xu Da would have sent a navy army to go around and wipe out the Manqing at this time.

Zhu Biao didn't bother Xu Da either, and the others were waiting for Xu Da's order. Xu Da's power in this late Ming world was outrageous, and the military and government were integrated. As long as Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao didn't come, everything in this world The civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty must listen to Xu Da's command.

But Xu Da did not do this. Instead, he took the initiative to find Li Shanchang and handed over all political management rights to Li Shanchang. Xu Da was in charge of military power, and Li Shanchang was in charge of internal affairs and logistics.

The two don't interfere with each other. If there is an intersection, Xu Da also discusses it with Li Shanchang. At first, Li Shanchang disagreed. It wasn't until Xu Da wrote a letter to Lao Zhu, stating that he really couldn't manage it, and then he had the will to lead Li Shanchang. Responsible for affairs other than the military.

Since then, civil and military powers have been separated, but the civil servants accompanying the army must still obey Xu Da's orders.

What Xu Da was worried about was the one hundred and ten li journey from Funing to Shanhaiguan, so it would be impossible not to leak the traces.

"Guo Xing and Wu Zhen, immediately lead your subordinates to march towards Funing. The general will take away five cannons first. No matter how fast you take down Funing City, the day you arrive is the time to attack the city. Take Funing City for me before the big troops arrive."

"Order the generals guarding Qian'an, Luanzhou, and Leting to leave immediately and lead the entire army to gather in Funing City." Xu Da felt that instead of thinking about it, it is better to take down Funing first, and then talk according to the situation after taking Funing .

If there is a chance to go directly to Shanhaiwei, it would be even better to win Shanhaiguan. If there is no suitable opportunity, then just fight head-on. The Ming soldiers are never afraid of a head-on battle.

"Follow the order!" "Follow the order!"

The generals walked out one by one, and the messengers also rode fast horses and sent orders to three places.

And Liu Bowen and others also left Xu Da's room, and only Zhu Biao and Xu Da were left in the room. As for Zhu Biao's personal servant Wang Yong, he was waiting for Zhu Biao outside the door. This was Wang Yong's first time here. Fang Xinshi, everything looks fresh.

Less than an hour later, Zhu Biao came out of Xu Da's house, and at this hour, the army was almost ready and was about to march.

"Let's go, Wang Yong, let's go back to Daming." Zhu Biao stood on the top of Lulong's city, watching the red army heading towards Funing.

As for going to Shanhaiguan, Zhu Biao shook his head in the end and was not going to go. Now, whether it was the number of people or the weapons and equipment, Ming had the upper hand. Zhu Biao really didn't believe that these Hongwu names would lose.

As for the entry of the Qing Dynasty, don't think about it in this life.

Originally, Zhu Biao wanted to go to Shanhaiguan with the army, but there were too many things in Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Biao couldn’t do without him for a while. Various military policies had to be discussed and implemented one by one. Rare things can be produced, and machine tools are almost ready.There are some things that Zhu Biao needs to go back to get the drawings out, not to mention the crop seeds brought back by the group of people who scattered in the first place.

One thing after another, not only Lao Zhu is busy, but Queen Ma is also busy. There are too many martyrs. The household department is as busy as the work department. Ministry, it is really the lack of officials in the north.

The entire Ming Dynasty has not been easy in the second half of the first year of Hongwu. Every day is full of overtime and endless work. Fortunately, the court distributes a pill every day, otherwise several ministers will die suddenly in the past few months. .

When Zhu Biao just sent it from Hongwu Daming, he saw that Li Shanchang had lost weight, but the thinner Li Shanchang looked leaner and handsomer. Zhu Biao guessed that it might be related to taking pills for a long time and continuing to practice. Anyway, the officials of the Ming Dynasty Now there are no fat people.

Even if you were a little fat before, you have to lose weight after a few months of continuous rotation. If you are not thin, then you can say that others are busy and thin. You are not thin. Corruption.

Even people like Song Lian who don't do much work have lost a lot of weight, and you can see how heavy Daming's workload has been recently.

There are more than these changes in the imperial court. The elderly ministers such as Song Lian and Lu Chang have black and white hair, but these months have also turned black. Yes, all the hair has turned black. Although the face has not changed much, but It gives people the feeling that it no longer has the sense of decay as before, but it is like a 50-[-]-year-old man.

It was all thanks to Dai Sigong and his imperial physicians who continuously boiled ointment and refined elixirs regardless of night and day, which resulted in these changes.

In the Ming army, there were also a lot of strong men of bright energy, and the generals stepped into the bright energy one by one, and charged towards the dark energy. As for what state Lao Zhu had reached, Zhu Biao couldn't tell, anyway. Zhu Biao only felt that Lao Zhu was completely natural, without a trace of blood being exposed.

Guessing in my heart that maybe Lao Zhu has stepped into the level of Huajin. After all, the current Lao Zhu can be said to be the son of Daming's luck. Part of the luck is now concentrated on Lao Zhu.

With such a huge amount of luck, Zhu Biao would be surprised if Lao Zhu hadn't achieved the state of transformation, even if Lao Zhu has now entered the legendary Dan Jin, Zhu Biao would not be surprised.

Once Da Ming ignites the divine fire of gas, it will be the outbreak period of Da Ming's masters.

If Lao Zhu has entered the realm of transformation, even if Da Ming cannot ignite the divine fire of luck, Lao Zhu can still live to be 150 years old. At least Lao Zhu can live for more than 100 years, and no one in Da Ming will be able to cause trouble.

Not to mention, it is already a certainty for Da Ming to light the divine fire of gas luck and step into the dynasty of luck. Well, as long as Da Ming plunders all the luck of the late Ming world, he will definitely take the most critical step.

It's just that as time went by, Zhu Biao always felt that the altar of luck was a bit tasteless, except for offering sacrifices to luck to open the door to a new world, other places didn't fit his name as an altar of luck at all.

The Altar of Luck can indeed gather the luck of Da Ming and suppress the luck of Daming itself, but the name of the altar is a bit misleading, and it is not known whether the current Da Ming cannot use the other functions of the Altar of Luck, or the Altar of Luck is just so weak.

Shaking his head, Zhu Biao drove out the distracting thoughts in his mind. Now is not the time to think about these things. If he has other functions, he will definitely know in the future. It is useless to think about it now.

Outside the Wenhua Palace.

"Report to Your Majesty, Shen Rong from the Shen family in Jiangnan pays respects." Erhu's job has already been handed over to his subordinates, and he alone and the commander of the Jinyiwei will naturally not stay in the late Ming world to search the house. Of course, the aristocratic family in the south of the Yangtze River will lead soldiers from the Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't need to worry about it. He just needs to send someone to keep an eye on it, so that the wealth obtained from the house raids will not be corrupted.

"Well, when did you come?" Old Zhu asked without even raising his head, continuing to look at the memorial in his hand.

"I've been waiting outside the hall for two hours."

"If he doesn't stay at home well, what is he doing here?"

"I don't know, but Shen Rong brought a few memorials. As for the content, Shen Rong said that they can only be presented to His Majesty." Shen Rong was able to come to Fengtian Hall, of course, after inspection, if Shen Rong hadn't said that the memorials could only be presented to His Majesty. His Majesty read it personally, and the memorial has to be checked several times.

"Well, let him come in, let's see what this old guy wants to do." Lao Zhu closed the memorial in his hand and looked at Erhu.

"Minister, obey the order." The two tigers quickly responded, and then went outside the hall, summoning Shen Rong to go.

After a while, an old man followed Erhu into the Wenhua Palace.

Old Zhu had also stopped his movements a long time ago. Looking at Shen Rong, what happened after he left Guo Zixing appeared in his mind. It was Shen Rong who found him himself. The Shen family has always been responsive to Lao Zhu's requests these years. Lao Zhu can basically get everything he needs.

It's just divided into two routes, the one is openly lent to Lao Zhu together with the rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and the other is secretly, that is, it is directly given to Lao Zhu. The materials have been delivered for many years, and they have never made any excessive demands.

So Lao Zhu still has a certain affection for the Shen family, but this affection will turn into malice in some time.

"Caomin Shen Rong pays homage to His Majesty." After entering the Wenhua Hall, Shen Rong knelt down and bowed down.

"Get up, we are now acquaintances, and we have been in love with your Shen family all these years." There was no emotion in Lao Zhu's tone, even when he said he was in love with the Shen family, he couldn't hear the slightest emotion.

Shen Rong, who was kneeling down below, shook his body, and he understood that perhaps Zhu Chongba already knew a part of Jiangnan's affairs, and at the same time he was glad that he came early, otherwise the Shen family might not only lose the huge wealth they had accumulated, but also lose their wealth. It's hard to say whether his life can be saved.

"Grassman, follow the order." Since Old Zhu said to let him get up, Shen Rong naturally dare not stand up, and now Zhu Chongba is no longer the same as Marshal Zhu of the Red Turban Army.

"Why are you here today? Is there anything that the Shen family has a great career in the south of the Yangtze River that cannot be resolved?" Lao Zhu asked.

As soon as Lao Zhu said that the Shen family's family had a great career, Shen Rong's body was shocked, and uneasiness surged into his heart.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Caomin heard that the imperial court needed money, food and grass recently, and ordered his family members to conduct a thorough inventory of the Shen family's property. This is why he came here today. Caomin hopes to do what he can for Daming."

After Shen Rong finished speaking, he took out a memorial from his sleeve, "The property in Cao Min's house has been counted, please read it, Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he handed the memorial in his hand to Erhu who was standing aside.

"Bring it here." Lao Zhu said, and Erhu took the memorial from Shen Rong, and then handed it to Lao Zhu again.

Old Zhu opened it and looked, good fellow, the amount of gold and silver in the family is huge, if Lao Zhu hadn't robbed all the nobles and civil and military in Beijing in the late Ming Dynasty, the Shen family might not be as rich.

Looking at the land and houses counted by Shen Rong, even though he knew that the Shen family was very rich, he never thought that the Shen family could be so rich. Shen Bancheng is really not in vain.

You must know that this is because the Shen family helped Lao Zhu build Yingtian City last year. When Yingtian City was built, Shen Rong gave Lao Zhu two thousand ingots of silver and three hundred ingots of gold. Remember that it is not two ingots.

In the city of Nanjing, 650 four houses were built free of charge, as well as four restaurants, as well as the stairs that helped build many city walls, and the iron bridges and dams outside the city were all written by Shen Rong.

But compared with the memorial Shen Rong just gave to Lao Zhu, these are nothing more than a drop in the bucket, one can imagine how rich the Shen family is.

"Shen Rong, you are so courageous, aren't you afraid that we will kill you?" Old Zhu said flatly. As for feelings, Old Zhu expressed that he had no feelings.

"Caomin, I was confused for a while and didn't know how to contribute to Daming. Now Caomin wakes up in time, and is willing to dedicate my heart to Daming and His Majesty, and I hope His Majesty will fulfill it." Shen Rong knelt down again, stood up and spoke, Shen Rong had already He didn't have the guts anymore. When Lao Zhu was the commander-in-chief, Shen Rong was still Lao Zhu's guest.

When Lao Zhu called Wu Wang, Shen Rong had already lost the possibility of having an equal dialogue with Lao Zhu, let alone Zhu Yuanzhang, the lord of the world today.

The qualification of Shen Rong to stand depends on whether Lao Zhu will give it to him or not.
