Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 659 Chang Yuchun escapes

Seeing Li Siqi's frightened look, Zhang Wuji didn't want to force it. He looked at the girl in yellow and said, "Sister Caiwei, since this is your ancestral residence, this place will be given to you as a reward."

Although the girl in yellow shirt seldom talks, she is not a pedantic person. She then stood up and thanked her and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

At this time, a report came from outside: "Your Majesty, General Lan Yu has returned from the southern expedition! Now he is outside the palace asking for an audience!"

Zhang Wuji said: "Our great hero is back, please come quickly!"

After getting Zhang Wuji's permission, the guards invited Lan Yu to enter the water pavilion.

After Lan Yu performed the grand ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, he said: "Your Majesty, I have lived up to your Majesty's trust, and all the coastal areas of Fujian have joined us."

Zhang Wuji also said: "Thank you for your hard work, general, please give me a seat as soon as possible!"

At this time, a new seat had been set up, and Lan Yu took her seat after thanking her.

At this time, Zhao Pusheng said: "Your Majesty, since General Lan Yu has returned, it is almost time for us to set off for Jinling."

Before Zhang Wuji could say anything, Lan Yu rushed to ask: "What? Jinling City has been captured? How about my brother-in-law and his family?"

Zhao Pusheng shook his head and said: "General Lan misunderstood. Jinling City is just surrounded by us now. Jinling has not fallen. As for General Chang Yuchun and his family, they have now been taken to Wuchang City to rest."

Lan Yu was relieved to hear that her sister's family was okay.

But Lan Yu also has a question, that is how her sister's family escaped from danger.

Although Lan Yu was very confident that Zhu Yuanzhang would not openly murder his sister's family, he should not let them go so easily.But how they escaped is curious.

So Lan Yu also asked this question in public.

After getting Zhang Wuji's consent, Zhao Pusheng also told the whole story in detail.

It turns out that Mrs. Lan, Chang Yuchun's wife and Lan Yu's sister, had already decided that Zhu Yuanzhang was a grasshopper after the autumn, and could not survive for a few days.

So after Lan Yu went to war, he began to plan a plan for his family to escape.

However, although Mrs. Lan has scheming intentions, she is just a female figure who has no power to restrain the chicken.Zhu Yuanzhang and his party guarded them very strictly.How easy is it to escape?

But in the end, Chang Yuchun's family members were helped by noble people, thanks to Su Mengqing's connections.

When he was in Wuchang City before, Zhang Wuji asked Su Mengqing to legitimize her network of contacts and make them his eyes and ears.

Although Su Mengqing was in Suzhou City, after the siege of Suzhou City was lifted, she continued to expand and restore her intelligence network while taking care of the daily affairs of Suzhou City.

At Zhao Min's suggestion, Su Mengqing began to instigate some Mingjiao generals and soldiers under Zhu Yuanzhang to rebel.

And the soldiers brought over by Lan Yu are the best candidates to complete this task.

Su Mengqing allocated some money to them and asked them to sneak back to Jinling City to incite rebellion against these people. After these people returned to the city, although most of them were arrested by Zhu Yuanzhang, there were still a few who successfully "hidden" Come down.

And they used their personal connections to contact many of the former subordinates of Guo Zixing and his son. Now that the situation has reversed, anyone can see the current situation clearly.Jinling City has been surrounded, and Zhu Yuanzhang's hundreds of thousands of main troops have also been divided and surrounded.Moreover, the main forces of the Ming army have already returned. No matter how strong Zhu Yuanzhang's Huaixi soldiers are, they are no match for these battle-hardened Mingjiao soldiers.

What's more, Liu Futong has also arrived at the front line to jointly command the north and south routes with Zhang Dingbian.At this time, many people are beginning to find a way out for themselves.

As the largest Mingjiao department under Zhu Yuanzhang, Chang Yuchun was naturally the first target to be instigated.

Chang Yuchun was still very resistant to betraying his master, but for the sake of being brothers of the Ming Cult, he did not embarrass the spies who came to rebel against him.

But Mrs. Blue seized the opportunity.

Mrs. Lan contacted the people sent by Su Mengqing privately, and then secretly made a plan to escape.After the plan was discussed, everyone began to cooperate internally and externally.

Mrs. Lan first made Chang Yuchun drunk with wine, then found someone to tie him up, put him in a box, and then covered him with firewood. In this way, Chang Yuchun, the king of Kaiping in the Ming Dynasty, was shipped out as cargo. Go to Jinling City.When the drunk Chang Yuchun woke up, he was already on the warship sent by Zhao Pusheng to pick him up.

In order to escape, Mrs. Lan pretended to go to Zhu Yuanzhang's house to discuss with Mrs. Ma the marriage of her daughter and Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son Zhu Biao.

However, halfway through, the Mingjiao spies used a trick to replace Mrs. Lan with a carriage that was exactly the same as Mrs. Lan's. Then the fake carriage drove into Zhu Yuanzhang's mansion, and then Mrs. Lan With his son Chang Mao and daughter Chang Huan, he sneaked out of Jinling City secretly.

Although Mrs. Lan fled very quickly, she was still alerted by Zhu Yuanzhang's guards. When they almost arrived at the riverside and boarded the clipper sent by the Ming army, the cavalry chasing them arrived.

Several Mingjiao disciples who escorted Mrs. Lan to leave died tragically on the spot.Despite paying a heavy price, Mrs. Lan, her mother and her son escaped in a small boat without any danger.

Finally, the family of four met in Wuchang City.

Although Chang Yuchun was very dissatisfied with his wife's behavior, under the persuasion of Mrs. Lan and the former Mingjiao brothers, he completely switched sides to Zhang Wuji.Now the family is enjoying themselves happily, waiting for the news about Zhang Wuji's northern expedition to the Yuan Dynasty after his return.

After Lan Yu heard this, she was completely relieved to learn that her sister and her family were all safe.

Lan Yu said: "Since there is only Jinling City in the south of the Yangtze River, Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard to capture the city for Your Majesty!"

Zhao Pusheng shook his head at this time and said: "Now that Jinling City has become an isolated land, it can be captured without a large-scale war. Why don't your Majesty send someone to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang. I believe we can capture Jinling without a fight."

Huo Jia, who was sitting at the bottom, said at this time: "I think the general's words are inappropriate!"

When Zhao Pusheng saw Huo Jia speaking, he quickly said: "If something goes wrong, please ask the saint for advice."

Although Huo Jia and Dai Qisi do not have official positions, their status is not low.

Huo Jia and Dai Qisi are both saints of the Ming sect.

Although these generals hold high and powerful positions, they are not disciples of the Ming Cult.In terms of status, they are always lower than these high-ranking officials of Mingjiao.

Because Tianzi is still the Mingzun leader of the Ming Cult, the status of the two saints in the religion is second only to the leader and higher than the two ambassadors.Theoretically, the two of them are the deputy leaders of the Ming Cult.Of course Zhao Pusheng respects them very much.

Huo Jia said at this time: "Your Majesty, you have forgiven Zhu Yuanzhang many times, but this person is extremely ambitious. If you forgive him this time, it will damage the authority of the Emperor."
