People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 471 The emperor’s choice, thousands of miles away

Zhang Yi hasn't heard from Chang Mao for a long time.

There was a hint of meaning on his face, and he stood on the stairs leading down to the cabin, eavesdropping on the other party's conversation.

"Master Zhang is here to take credit..."

As soon as Chang Mao opened his mouth, there was a familiar, maddening smell.

Zhang Yi was not sure it was him at first, but now he feels right.

Zhang Cundao approached him and wanted to give him a few words of advice.

Who knew that the other party would complain first, which made Zhang Cundao very angry.

The other said:
"Master Chang, do you agree with what you say?"

"I originally wanted to lure the enemy deeper and capture these pirates to achieve meritorious service. It would be a good idea for you to come here and scare away my meritorious service..."

Zhang Cundao was so angry that he almost blacked out and started to quarrel with Chang Mao.

Zhang Yi looked back at Zhou Tong, who smiled awkwardly:
"General Chang has been a great man throughout his life, but he is really not good at giving birth to a son!

After Chang Mao became an adult, he was still domineering. His Majesty felt that it was wrong to put him anywhere, so he simply left him to General Chang!

General Chang kept him by his side for training, and was often so angry that he beat him violently..."

Zhou Tong is a Jin Yiwei and Mao Xiang's confidant.He knows all about intelligence.

Zhang Yi felt dizzy just after listening to Zhou Tong's few words.

Even a deity like Chang Mao might not be able to save him.

Even though he saved Chang Yuchun and prevented Chang Mao from becoming Zheng Guogong, his domineering attitude did not disappear with the disappearance of his identity.

According to Zhou Tong, Chang Mao couldn't stand the beatings by Chang Yuchun, and he always felt that he was underappreciating his talent by staying under his father's command.

Hearing that the Xuanwu Army beat pirates just like Sun Tzu, he intuitively felt that the opportunity had come!
So I asked Chang Yuchun for my life and asked to board the ship.

Chang Yuchun was the governor of Zhejiang Province and also had jurisdiction over the Xuanwu Army, so he sent his son on board the ship after requesting an order from Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, it is me and my son. Chang Yuchun probably also wants Chang Mao to gain experience in the army and find a future for Chang Mao.

But when Chang Mao came to the Xuanwu Army, he still continued to make tricks.

Only Zhang Yi understands Chang Mao's trap.

This is a guy who can't even help Zhu Yuanzhang, and everyone else is in vain.

This guy's death is his greatest contribution to the world...

Zhang Yi silently prayed to Chang Mao, hoping that something would happen to others.

The confrontation between Zhang Cundao and Chang Mao did not last long.

Lao Zhang and Chang Mao's boats passed by each other, and Zhang Cundao came back angrily:
"I must read his book!"

Although he has been knighted, Zhang Cundao still adheres to his duties and rarely calls himself a knight by his title in the army.

Zhang Yi had a good impression of the Zhang family and comforted him:

"General Zhang, don't be angry. This person is domineering and has long been famous throughout the capital. He will have his retribution sooner or later!"

"It doesn't matter if he retaliates, but he is a navy soldier now, and his mistakes will cause the whole ship to suffer the same fate as him!"

Zhang Cundao was still aggrieved, and Zhang Yi also sighed.

Also, as for Chang Mao's habit of cheating his father, it doesn't matter if he himself dies, cheating others is the key.

"Forget it, I'll write a letter later and tell Master Mu. He is probably the only one who can suppress Chang Mao!"

Zhang Yi was also full of curiosity when he heard Mu Ying's name.

Mu Ying does have sufficient prestige among the second-generation descendants of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, he had thought through many things, regarding Mu Ying's behavior...

"Mu Ying probably has to worry about General Chang's face..."

Although the relationship between Chang Yuchun and Zhang Yi was good, Zhang Yi did not think that Chang Yuchun could stay out of the family's education.

Lao Chang also has some problems with protecting calves, although it is not as obvious as Lan's.

"Alas... Then I'll write to General Chang and ask him to transfer Chang Mao to the shore!"

……

This unhappiness was just an episode in Zhang Yi's journey.

Zhang Yi's ship docked in Fujian and began to replenish supplies.

His operation was a secret one and he never got off the ship.

Just waiting for Zhang Cundao to go down and hand over.

When he was bored, he would walk on the deck.

Zhang Cundao's status in the Xuanwu Army was only lower than that of Mu Ying.

After he came ashore, he obviously read Chang Mao's book.

Zhang Yi just laughed at the internal conflicts in the Xuanwu Army.

After waiting for three days, their fleet continued to set off.

Chang Mao's gloomy eyes stared at Zhang Cundao's leaving shadow.

"My father is the founding general of the People's Republic of China, and Zhang Cundao is a piece of shit, but he dares to deal with me. I will look good on you later!"

Chang Mao was arrogant and domineering, but he did not suppress his voice.

The people around him, including the Xuanwu soldiers, were as afraid of him as tigers and also disliked him endlessly.

Only a personal soldier of the Chang family stayed by his side faithfully.

"Sir, when I followed them to deliver supplies to the ship, I discovered something interesting...

There is an acquaintance hiding on that boat..."

……

Zhang Yi left Fujian and landed in Zhejiang again.

Here he got off Zhang Cundao's ship.

The other ship was already ready.

Zhang Yi did not meet Mu Ying in Zhejiang, but he met Chang Yuchun, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Chang Yuchun's face was filled with joy, and he was very happy for Zhang Yi's arrival.

"His Majesty told me that you can..."

Chang Yuchun saw Zhang Yi and punched him first.

"After you have finished this, it's time for me, General, to get on the ship...

It's a pity that my body is really not suitable for fighting in the north, otherwise I would also like to participate in this matter!
Zhang Yi, please! "

Chang Yuchun put his arm on Zhang Yi's shoulder, and the two of them talked softly in a very intimate manner.

Chang Yuchun was still smiling playfully at the beginning, but his tone gradually became more serious.

The Northern Expedition was something Chang Yuchun was destined to regret for the rest of his life, and it was also the dream of the famous generals of their generation.

In the Battle of Lingbei, it was not only Xu Da who was defeated, but also Chang Yuchun's lifelong regret.

Ming Dynasty must win a hearty war to boost morale.

When Zhu Yuanzhang specially gave him the secret order in order to get Chang Yuchun to cooperate, Chang Yuchun was very excited.

Use the power of the imperial court to set up a trap for Mobei.

Only by attracting Mobei's main force and then swallowing it up can we finally swallow this breath.

"Wait a minute, I'll talk to you later!"

Chang Yuchun winked at Zhang Yi, turned around and walked towards Zhang Cundao.

"Master Zhang, I heard about the rebellious son, Chang Mou said something here!

Chang Mao is my soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and next is my son Chang Yuchun!

Chang Mou has no way to teach his son, please forgive Mr. Zhang here! "

As Zheng Guogong, he solemnly apologized to Zhang Cundao, and Zhang Cundao's resentment immediately subsided.

"Zheng Guogong, you're welcome!"

"Master Zhang, listen to me! I sent Chang Mao to Fujian just because I want him to get out of my wings and find his own way!

Where he is, he is a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, not anyone's son!
If he contradicts the superior, he should be killed and punished!

I often encounter spring and have nothing to say! "

Chang Yuchun's voice was so loud that Zhang Cundao smiled bitterly.

The more Lao Chang stood upright, the more they had to worry about Chang Yuchun's face.

This problem was difficult for even the emperor to solve, so naturally it was not his turn to solve it.

"You're welcome, Mr. Zheng, I will pay attention to it in the future!"

After Chang Yuchun wiped Chang Mao's butt, Zhang Cundao was very polite and said goodbye to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi could not accompany him for the rest of the journey, but was escorted by someone else.

"Mu Ying and Ping An went out to sea for inspection, otherwise I will let you meet Gao Luo!
This time, I will arrange for a trustworthy person to give you a ride if you reveal your heart's secret!
The boat won't leave until early tomorrow morning. Let's have a drink together! "

Chang Yuchun knew that Zhang Yi could not appear in front of people at will, so he had already asked people to place food and drinks on the boat.

Zhang Yi probably hadn't seen Chang Yuchun for a long time, so the two of them sat on the deck and started drinking.

"Wang Baobao sent someone to persuade General Xu to surrender?"

Zhang Yi heard some news from Chang Yuchun that surprised him.

Wang Baobao persuaded Xu Da to surrender. Is this simply a fantasy?
"This is true. Xu Da beat the messenger and just left!

Expanding the profile of Timur, this person has a deep scheming mind..."

Chang Yuchun sneered, and Zhang Yi also laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

Chang Yuchun wanted to test Zhang Yi.

"Our rumors are working!"

Zhang Yi was very happy when he heard the news.

If it had been any other time, Wang Baobao would not have thought of persuading Xu Da to surrender.

Since he did this, it means that he believed the rumors that the emperor and Xu Da had a rift, just like Zhu Yuanzhang pinched Guanyin slave and then openly recruited Wang Baobao to surrender.

This is also a conspiracy.

Lao Zhu failed to recruit Wang Baobao to surrender, but he could sow a wedge between him and Emperor Yuan.

This is also true for Wang Baobao's treatment of others in his own way.

What he did was actually a test, a test of the news he had delivered in the past few months.

Zhang Yi was happy. It was not easy to deceive the famous general Wang Baobao.

In particular, although he was a Mongolian, he was very careful in using his troops.

Any flaw can cause him to retreat immediately.

This time he tested it, and he bit the hook.

But how the court responds is the key.

"How did the court respond?"

Zhang Yi asked, Chang Yuchun looked around.

Except for Zhou Tong who was waiting on him, everyone else stayed far away.

"Xuda is a cruel old boy. He had someone stab him in the back. When he saw the messenger, he deliberately wrapped himself tightly, but the smell of medicine and blood on his body was still deliberately let those people smell it...

This time, Wang Baobao couldn’t help but not believe it!
Next, His Majesty should perform! "

Zhang Yi nodded, and Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction was what Wang Baobao wanted to see.

This guy is too careful. If you can perform well, he will stop falling for the trap because of his doubts.

,

This tug-of-war was not only between Xu Da, but also between Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Baobao, who were thousands of miles apart.

"Guess what His Majesty will do?"

Zhang Yi looked at Zhou Tong, but Zhou Tong didn't expect that he would want to speak on his own.

He said:
"If I were to tell you, Your Majesty would pretend to remove General Xu from his position and let him come back, right?"

Zhang Yi smiled and said:

"If this is the case, Pindao can guarantee that Wang Baobao will be alert immediately and will not go south again...

If this is what a poor person does, send someone to the front line to appease General Xu and give him a reward..."

Award?

Zhou Tong didn't understand, since he wanted to seduce Wang Baobao, why should he reward him?

When he still looked confused, Chang Yuchun laughed:
"With you, if a real person joins the army, he must be a good general!

Although Mr. Zhou’s idea is good, he can deceive others, but he cannot deceive Wang Baobao!

This guy is just a slippery loach, he will run away if he smells anything wrong!
As the real person said, only when Your Majesty rewards Xu Da can he truly believe that there is a gap between Your Majesty and Xu Da! "

why?
Zhou Tong hesitated to speak, dared to ask but did not dare to ask.

“Because, with the relationship between His Majesty and General Xu, doing nothing is the real trust!
If the emperor went out of his way to reward General Xu and needed to appease people's hearts!
That was equivalent to telling Beiyuan that General Xu had resentment in his heart. If he had no resentment, why bother to appease him?
If you trust, why bother to add any unnecessary extravagance? "

After Zhang Yi explained, Zhou Tong suddenly realized.

"It turns out there is such a way, I'm confused!"

In front of Zhang Yi and Chang Yuchun, Zhou Tong did not dare to take advantage of Jin Yiwei.

Chang Yuchun smiled and said:
"You guessed as I did. If His Majesty really transfers Xu Da back, then he is no longer His Majesty!
Your Majesty may not be as good at leading an army as Xu Da and I, but in terms of strategy, you have never missed a beat..."

Although Chang Yuchun's words were somewhat flattering to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Yi also knew that this was probably correct.

Zhu Yuanzhang explained Xu Da and Chang Yuchun's fighting ideas during each Northern Expedition.

Including the second Northern Expedition in Hongwu's fifth year, if Xu Da had followed Zhu Yuanzhang's ideas and fought steadily, even if he couldn't win, at least he wouldn't have suffered such a tragic defeat.

"His Majesty hasn't responded yet, let's see!"

Chang Yuchun and Zhang Yi drank until late at night, and then got off the boat.

Zhang Yi fell asleep on the boat. When he got up the next day, the boat had continued northward.

The person responsible for escorting Zhang Yi is called Wang He, who is Chang Yuchun's confidant.

After asking Zhang Yi for instructions, he headed north with all his strength.

Passing through Jiangsu and entering Shandong.

The boat stopped in Jiaozhou at night.

"Is this Jiaozhou?"

The vigorous ambush in the second year of Hongwu's reign began in Jiaozhou.

Zhang Yi set foot on this land and was filled with emotion as he looked at the military ships living around him.

"The Emperor has launched sea transportation, and there are supply points in many cities along the coast!
Because of the war in Jiaozhou a few years ago, the emperor specially designated a supply place here!
People's livelihood in Jiaozhou is much better than before!
Among them, Wang Hai, the county magistrate who made great contributions to the anti-Japanese war, has been promoted to the magistrate..."

Zhou Tong followed Zhang Yi and introduced him to everything about Jiaozhou on the way.

"When will we leave for Jining?"

All the way to Shandong, Zhang Yi knew that this was to allow him to regain his identity as Zhang Sanfeng, the scholar of the Kong family...

He knew that since the court continued to let him use this identity, the troubles with Zhang Sanfeng must have been dealt with.

For example, how to extract it from the case of Guanyin Nu, such as the question of whether the Kong family recognizes him?
At least under the control of Jin Yiwei, Zhang Yi's identity has never been a problem.

"You don't have to go to Jining, you can replace our stand-in in Jiaozhou!

Moreover, you will meet an old friend here! "

Zhou Tong smiled and said to Yan Yan, giving Zhang Yi a pass.

"Who is it?"

"Kong Na, Mr. Kong..."
