First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 143: Victorious and return

The four people discussed the plan for a while, and finally the plan of recruiting Chaohu navy masters was finished, and Zhang took the suggestion and prepared to submit it.

But Gong Bosui was curious, so he asked, "Are you going to dedicate it to General Zhu...?"

Old Zhang hehe smiled, "It won’t be there, who doesn’t know. Under the superiors, all written matters must be handed over to Mr. Zhang... But now that Mr. Zhang is not there, it should be handed over to Mr. Jia, and I have to tell them. Say, please work harder, old gentleman, don't delay."

Gong Bosui was startled again, "I have seen a young man with a sharp talk. He forced Zhang Shicheng to hand me over. This person is..."

"Oh! He is Mr. Zhang, his name is Zhang Ximeng, the current experience officer."

"Wait!" Gong Bosui's brows tightened, "How does he call this name?"

Timur also said, "Yes, why do I feel a little familiar?"

Xuexue snorted coldly: "Can you not be familiar? Didn't Zhang Yanghao, who died of exhaustion, just call Ximeng?"

"what!"

Gong Bosui was shocked, "This, Mr. Zhang, has something to do with Mr. Yunzhuang?"

Lao Zhang smiled, "He is Mr. Yunzhuang's grandnephew, I don't know if he is dear. Anyway, the Zhang family is sure."

"How come?" Gong Bosui was shocked. When he was in most of the city, he participated in the three histories, and once advised to reopen the imperial examination. Zhang Yanghao was responsible for both of these matters. It's great for these late births.

Gong Bosui was too impressed.

Old Zhang chuckled and said, "Gong Senyi, you only know to ask Mr. Zhang, why don't you ask Mr. Jia?"

"Jia... old man... won't it be?" Gong Bosui felt that he was going to faint.

Lao Zhang sneered: "Now the three civil servants under the lord’s servants are in charge of Li Shanchang. They are the scholars from Chuzhou and Jialu who joined the army. They are the original Zhongshu Zuo Cheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and the chief governor of the river defense envoy. As for the experience of the Department of Experience, It is Mr. Zhang Ximeng and Zhang Xiao, who was born in the Zhang family."

Hearing this, those three were all dumbfounded.

Gong Bosui was shocked. He seemed to understand why Zhu Jiajun didn't kill him! So even Jialu is still alive? And also became a high official under Zhu Yuanzhang?

This is too ridiculous!

This person only felt that the Three Views were broken, he had to calm down a bit, if it didn't work, if the stimulation continued, the heart couldn't stand it anymore.

Timur was stunned first, and then he burst into laughter, laughing forward and backward. Xuexue was so scared that she hid away, isn't this guy a shofar?

After Timur was captured, he remained uncooperative, died, and went on a hunger strike. He had not inquired about the situation of Zhu Jiajun, nor did he know the origin of Zhang Ximeng and others.

Now he knows that after a senior official of the Yuan Ting, a small official of the Great Yuan Dynasty, and a famous sect of the Great Yuan Dynasty, he has now added four of them. It is wonderful, wonderful!

"Such a big court, killed from the outside, is inexhaustible for a while! You have to kill yourself by suicide before it can be completely defeated!" Timur also sneered: "If you can kill my brother, I can kill Yuan. Ting! Lao Zhang, can you please tell Jia Lu and say that even if you let me be a groom, I'll give Zhu Yuanzhang my life!"

Lao Zhang is also dumbfounded, this one really hates him!

"Don’t worry, I’m going to talk to the above. It’s best to think of a way to get your family members over, so as not to be angered and convicted... But having said that, Yuan Ting is also a bastard, Mr. Jia After surrendering for a long time, the family members have been taken over. Why hasn't there been any movement and they are all confused?"

Timur gritted his teeth and said, "If they understand people, they won't dismiss my brother... By the way, Lao Zhang, can you tell me, it doesn’t matter whether my family lives or die? It’s my nephew, I My elder brother is afraid that he won’t survive, and it doesn’t make sense to save him. If I can save my two nephews, I would also like to thank him Zhu Yuanzhang if I die!"

Lao Zhang thought for a while and had to say: "I will try my best to submit it, but you have to think clearly. If you belong to Zhu Jiajun, you can only be an ordinary person. Can your nephew be willing?"

First Timur gritted his teeth and roared: "I don't care if they want it or not! Anyway, they can't work for killing their fathers and enemies, right?"

It is really reasonable and cannot be refuted.

At this time Xuexue even said, "What about me, what should my family do? Can it be rescued too?"

Gong Bosui hurriedly said: "Your family is in most of the city. It may not be convenient. Besides, you don't care. On the contrary, it is me. Maybe it is more convenient."

These two people actually fought, and Lao Zhang couldn't help but want to laugh. This was the courtier of the Great Yuan Dynasty. When it came time, they couldn't forget the good tradition of internal fighting.

"I want to think of a way, but it's not a big problem in Beijing. There are still people in Beijing!"

"what?"

These people collapsed again, and the Great Yuan Dynasty has been infiltrated into a sieve, how come there are even most of them!

Gong Bosui was stunned for a while, and then suddenly said, "I, I know, did they kill the prime minister by murdering him?"

This sentence stunned Yexian Timur.

Is it really Zhu Yuanzhang's plan to get rid of it?

After a while, Timur shook his head and laughed bitterly to himself, "The two armies are at war with guns and arrows. It's nothing. Besides, as my brother, I will be dismissed by the enemy? Or blame the monarch and traitor! They are not only bad, but also stupid as pigs!"

By now, Timur had first spotted Yuan Ting, and it was almost useless to say anything else.

Lao Zhang took the suggestion and sent it up, and it was in Jialu's hand that night.

The old man has also been worrying about this...Zhu Yuanzhang has long since crossed the Yangtze River and won Jiqing as a base. However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have a navy in his hands.

From Haozhou to Chuzhou, there are some small fishing boats in hand.

In the recent capture of Yangzhou, I only got some flat-bottomed grain-carrying ships and sand boats. The large ships that can be used for war are in the hands of the navy of the Yangtze River.

Without ships, it is absolutely impossible to cross the river to fight.

No matter how brave a person is, he can't fly over the river!

Chaohu Marine is really a good choice.

It's just that this Chaohu navy master belongs to Tian Wan's subordinates, and it is not easy to get it in his hands.

The Chaohu navy has two chiefs, all of the general generation, one is called Shuangdao Zhao Pusheng, and the other is Li Pusheng, nicknamed Li Patou.

Needless to say, they are both disciples of Monk Peng.

This has to say a few more words, Peng Yingyu is really the ancestor of all the rebels.

He spread the white lotus religion very early. Han Shantong advocated the birth of King Ming. He advocated the rebirth of Maitreya, saying that as long as Maitreya Buddha came, he would bring great light to the world.

As for who the Maitreya Buddha is, Monk Peng chose to lean back tactically!

The first time he raised an issue could even be traced back to the fourth year, but that time was very unsuccessful, and Lao Peng's good apprentice Zhou Ziwang died.

Peng Yingyu desperately escaped. He still preached everywhere, cultivated anti-yuan forces, and gave his apprentices a universal character, which is about the meaning of "clouds and cranes in the sky, dragons and seas"...

These disciples constituted the backbone of the Nanpai's anti-Yuan dynasty, and they were named Peng Dang.

There are some people who mix well, such as Zou Pusheng, Ding Pulang and others, and some are not so good, such as Zhao Pusheng and Li Pusheng from Chaohu.

Of course, there is even worse, that is Zhou Huiniang's Jiang Sanshu Jiang Puxin.

But no matter what the situation is, Peng Dang rarely surrendered to Yuan Ting. They either sacrificed their lives for righteousness, such as Kuang Putian and others, or belonged to Zhu Yuanzhang, and made great achievements for the founding of Ming Dynasty.

Most people are upright, strong men.

The more miserable thing is that Monk Peng was killed by the Yuan army more than a year ago. This old rebel leader, in addition to training a large number of talents for the anti-Yuan, his fate was very bleak.

Moreover, after Peng Yingyu's death, the Peng Dang he worked so hard to cultivate also fell into a split, which is really a pity.

Zhao Pusheng and Li Pusheng, who are sitting on Chaohu Lake, their biggest rivals are not the Yuan Army, but Zuo Junbi, who are both Peng Dang!

Zuo Junbi was not given the general character, but he was indeed Peng Dang, and he was also Peng's apprentice, but he was relatively late in getting started.

After the Red Army uprising, Zuo Junbi captured Luzhou and became a tycoon.

Zhao Pusheng and others set off from Chaohu and once captured Tongling, Chizhou, Anqing and other places.

As a result, they were in the same situation as Liu Futong. The early stage went smoothly, but facing Yuan Ting's counterattack, the occupied land was quickly lost and had to be returned to Chaohu.

From time to time, Zhao Pusheng and others suffered a great loss of strength. Compared with Zuo Junbi, who occupied Luzhou in the north, they were at a disadvantage.

Moreover, their navy was limited to the waters after all and could not come and go freely, so in the confrontation with Zuo Junbi, he was at a disadvantage.

"If they are strong, they won't surrender to the upper ranks!"

Jia Lu repeatedly figured out how to subdue the Chaohu navy, but his elders have the power to suggest at most, and only Zhu Yuanzhang can really make decisions. As for Zhang Ximeng, he can almost be half of his home, no more.

By the way, neither of these two are in Chuzhou, so do we need this old bone to meet them?

Just as Jia Lu was thinking about it, good news came. Zhang Ximeng and Zhang Shicheng finally completed the negotiation and could return soon.

In the letter sent back, Zhang Ximeng wrote the general conditions. After Jia Lu looked at it, he couldn't help but admire that this kid clearly had no soldiers, but he pitted Zhang Shicheng into this way. He was really a talent!

First of all, Zhang Shicheng agreed to fight against Yuan together.

This is also the one that Lao Zhang doesn't care about the least. If you fight against Yuan today, you can change your mind tomorrow. How could Laozi be restrained by trivial words!

It's just that Zhang Shicheng can think of this, and Zhang Ximeng has no reason not to.

Therefore, after agreeing to resist the Yuan, Zhang Ximeng asked Zhang Shicheng to admit that Zhu Yuanzhang was the main one... didn't he want to resist the Yuan? At the very least, we must distinguish between a grand marshal and a deputy marshal!

All of a sudden, it hit Zhang Shicheng's death hole.

Because as long as he admits this, he will be shorter than Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Ximeng didn't force him to become the King of Honesty, nor did he dissolve the Great Zhou Kingdom. Anyway, how do you like to toss and toss. In the land of the Huaihe River, we are the boss of Zhu's family!

This alone had a huge impact. Zhang Shicheng never wanted to agree, but Zhu Yuanzhang's battle cast a shadow on him, and he could only agree.

The next step was to set up the Department of Salt Affairs. The two sides divided the accounts seven to three, and Zhang Shicheng became a kneeling beggar.

Zhang Ximeng not only saves face, but also gets away with it.

There are other matters such as trade, trade, taxation, etc., but they have agreed on the outline, and have not elaborated... Actually, there is no way to elaborate. Under Zhu Yuanzhang's management is on the right track, Zhang Shicheng is in a mess. No matter how much it talks about, it doesn't make sense.

Therefore, it was just an agreement that the goods coming out of Huaixi, under the rule of Zhang Shicheng, can be tax-free...

Of course, Zhang Ximeng did not just take advantage, but also gave Zhang Shicheng a bit of sweetness. From now on, Huaixi would provide Zhang Shicheng with some grains every year, but Zhang Shicheng would purchase these grains at 20% higher than the market price.

As soon as Zhang Shicheng heard of the grain, he immediately became energetic, not to mention 20%, even twice as much!

The land of Huaidong, which has just been ravaged by an army of several hundred thousand yuan, is extremely scarce of food, and Gaoyou City is about to eat people.

Zhu Jiajun was able to give them some food, and finally his heart was not completely darkened.

This friend can get along!

Zhang Shicheng was happy, but in the end the two parties had to formally sign the covenant, drink blood together, and sacrifice to the world, which is considered to be the completion of the ceremony.

Zhang Ximeng was very sorry to tell Shi Nai'an.

"Sorry, just yesterday, there was a military situation, and my lord had already led the troops away."

"What?" Shi Nai'an was taken aback~www.readwn.com~ how did he go? What about this covenant?

"Mr. Shi don't worry, what we say counts, the covenant remains the same. I have arranged five thousand stone grains, which are on the way from Yangzhou. If the King Cheng needs to send troops to assist, I will inform."

After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, he ordered contact and encirclement, set up camps, and returned to Yangzhou in batches...It was a clean and tidy one.

At the head of Gaoyou City, Zhang Shicheng looked at the direction Zhu Jiajun was hurriedly away, and suddenly wanted to understand something!

"Liar! Big liar! Obviously Zhu Chongba has already left! They are too shameless!"

Now Zhang Shide, Zhang Shixin and others also suddenly realized that they had been besieged by a group of captives and soldiers for several days!

Lost your lord!

"His Royal Highness, I can't bear it anymore, let's kill it!" Everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

Zhang Shicheng clenched his teeth, clenched and relaxed his fists, repeated it several times, and finally sighed helplessly, "We have no food!"

In a word, full of sadness, Zhang Shicheng almost cried, and he could only let Zhang Ximeng take advantage of it and leave calmly.
