First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Ximeng's eyes lit up, he just came here to beg for food...

Chapter 1 Forty Seventy percent is someone else's

Zhu Yuanzhang has already left, and there are not many elite soldiers and generals left. Zhang Ximeng and Feng Guoyong only have two thousand households in their hands.

With this amount of troops, no matter what, they couldn't surround Gaoyou, and even Zhang Shicheng could kill him with a single effort.

But Zhang Ximeng was about to put on a big show, so he dug a hole for Zhang Shicheng.

"Commander Feng, I would like to trouble you to put up your airs, and you must mobilize the surrendered troops, but don't make any mistakes. Otherwise, the two of us will flee back to Yangzhou in embarrassment."

Feng Guoyong smiled, "I will be careful, but sir, I heard that Mr. Shi is a great talent, are you sure?"

Zhang Ximeng thought about it, but it was really hard to say. In terms of writing ability, even people from the Ming Dynasty felt that the Three Kingdoms were far inferior to the Water Margin.

But it's hard to say how much stronger Shi Naian must be than Luo Guanzhong.

"Anyway, I'll do my best!"

Feng Guo continued to use it, mobilized troops and horses, walked in formation in the camp, practiced and drilled, and created the illusion that he was preparing to attack the city... It's just that [-]% of these people are captured Yuan troops. If they really fight, they can only be like Zhang Ximeng. As he said, he had no choice but to run for his life.

So if you want to deceive Shi Naian, you have to show [-]% of your acting skills.

Zhang Ximeng was sitting upright, thinking about what to do, and after a while, Shi Naian came in.

When he saw Zhang Ximeng, he was stunned. He had to say that Zhang Ximeng was too young, could he be 20 years old?Much younger than his apprentice.

It's not that Shi Naian looks down on young people, but can he call the shots?

"What? Still want to see Commander Du?" Zhang Ximeng sneered, "Your King Cheng has done a good job! He suddenly assassinated the benefactor who saved his life, and plotted with a bow and arrow! Is he a prince or a villain? He intends to talk, Or do you want to rob? Why didn’t Zhang Shicheng personally come to apologize for things that are not on the table?”

Zhang Ximeng was the first to interrogate Shi Naian, who immediately dispelled Shi Naian's doubts. If he couldn't make the decision, he wouldn't be so arrogant!

He hurriedly said: "Mister, please forgive me, it is indeed not what King Cheng meant to shoot General Zhu with an arrow."

"Didn't Zhang Shicheng mean it? That's Zhang Shixin who was behind Zhang Shicheng. Go, lift Zhang Shixin's head, and then we can talk."

Now Shi Naian can't be dealt with.

"That, that...General Zhang has already been punished, his arm was shot through, please read it for the sake of being a Red Scarf rebel, please spare him?"

"The same red scarf?"

Zhang Ximeng sneered and said, "How did I hear that your King Cheng doesn't admit that he is a red scarf? He still feels strong and wants to talk to us with his strength. Is he worthy?"

Shi Naian was helpless, it was true that they were wronged first, and what was even more terrible was that not only were they wronged, but their skills were inferior to others, they were beaten to the ground, and their lives were hanging by a thread.

Since I came to ask for peace, I naturally have to be much more humble.

"His Royal Highness Cheng already knew that being reckless for a while led to a misunderstanding, and he is willing to shake hands with your army to make peace, and... also willing to express sincerity. If your army has any requests, just ask them."

"A request?" Zhang Ximeng said: "Didn't my lord say that he wants to discuss with Zhang Shicheng and deal with Yuan Ting together, but how does Zhang Shicheng treat my lord?"

Shi Naian's old face flushed, and he became more and more ashamed.Don't say anything, it's all because Zhang Shicheng is too inflated. After he cleared the siege, he felt invincible in the world and no one cared about it. That's bad luck!

However, when Zhang Ximeng mentioned Anti-Yuan, Shi Naian seemed to have sensed the opportunity, and immediately said: "His Royal Highness Cheng has already said that the Yuan court has committed a lot of crimes, harmed the people, is incompetent, and should be destroyed. He, he is willing to fight with General Zhu." Let’s fight against Yuan together, yes!”

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "It's easy to say, isn't he, Zhang Shicheng, still taking refuge in the Yuan Court, and wants to be a loyal minister and general for the Great Yuan Dynasty?"

Once again, Zhang Ximeng slapped Zhang Shicheng's face all over his mouth, leaving Shi Naian no choice but to explain to Zhang Ximeng that King Cheng is different this time, and he is sincerely against Yuan. , a lesson can be learned from every day!

"Let's stop talking nonsense, let Zhang Shicheng immediately order the whole army, tell everyone, clarify his feelings, and be willing to sincerely cooperate with my master and fight against Yuan together. Besides, let him send Tuotuo's confidant Gong Bosui over!"

"what!"

Shi Naian was taken aback. This Gong Bosui was captured by Zhang Shicheng after the defeat of the Yuan army.

Gong Bosui is Tuotuo's confidant counselor, he is familiar with all the situation of the Yuan army, he can be regarded as a guiding light for life.

Moreover, Tuotuo realized that Zhu Yuanzhang was the greatest enemy, and Gong Bosui knew it too. He thought of Tuotuo's kindness, and he wanted to help Zhang Shicheng. One day, he could use Zhang Shicheng to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Therefore, it can be said that Gong Bosui did his best to Zhang Shicheng, and he was able to recruit tens of thousands of people smoothly, which was related to Gong Bosui.

But Zhang Ximeng wants Zhang Shicheng to hand it over. Isn't this cutting off Zhang Shicheng's hands and feet?

"What did you say, sir? I don't even know who this Gong Bosui is?"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Ximeng laughed, "Mr. Shi, you don't have to pretend to be stupid. I know the details of the Yuan army better than you... To tell you the truth, I have two more important people than Gong Bosui. , can you guess it?"

Shi Naian grinned wryly, is it interesting to be funny at this time?

More important than Gong Bosui, and there are still two!

"Also first, also Timur in your hands first?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Is there another one?"

"Also...the one who knows about the Privy Council, Xuexue is there?"

Shi Naian's voice trembled a little.

When Zhang Ximeng nodded with a smile, Shi Naian was completely speechless.

They really underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang too much, and they didn't even know how powerful Zhu Jiajun was.

Also first Timur and Xuexue were not only defeated, but also captured.

With these two people present, Zhu Jiajun's understanding of Yuan Ting was indeed to a terrifying level, and Gong Bosui probably couldn't keep it.

"I, I will ask His Royal Highness Cheng Wang for advice when I go back. If there is indeed one, I, I am willing to send it over."

"Yeah!" Zhang Ximeng nodded, his attitude was more or less the same.But then there is a more important thing.

"Mr. Shi, since Zhang Shicheng is willing to join hands with our lord, then we need to discuss military expenditures. How much should the two parties pay?"

"This?" Shi Naian grinned, "Both of us should do our best and work together to deal with Yuan Ting."

Zhang Ximeng laughed loudly, "Mr. Shi, according to what you said, Zhang Shicheng doesn't have to bear any responsibility for offending our lord? Now he is trapped in Gaoyou, and his destruction is imminent. For his life, there is no need to pay the price? If there is no sincerity, then the only option is to order the siege!"

"This..." Shi Naian's forehead was sweating, if he really killed him, how would he explain to King Cheng?

"If you have any ideas, sir, you can order them."

Zhang Ximeng then said: "Since this is the case, we will arrange personnel to set up the Salt Affairs Department. All Huaiyan revenue is our military expenditure. We will account for [-]% and you will account for [-]%."

"Ah... only, only [-]%?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Too much? Then you can divide it into ninety percent!"

Shi Naian vomited blood directly, this young man is young, but his heart is really dark, but he has nothing to do.

"I, I want to see General Zhu." Shi Naian said: "For such a big matter, it seems that General Zhu should be asked to speak directly, lest I get the wrong meaning."

Zhang Ximeng laughed, "It's not wrong. I'll write you a letter, and you take it to Zhang Shicheng. After reading it, he will know what to do."

Turning his head around, Zhang Ximeng took out a letter and handed it to Shi Naian. It was sealed with wax, and Shi Naian couldn't open it.

After thinking about it again and again, I had no choice but to return to Gaoyou first.

Frankly speaking, although it was not as satisfactory, after all, we met and talked, and did not directly start a war, so we can finally give an explanation to His Highness King Cheng.

Shi Naian returned to Gaoyou in embarrassment.

Here Zhang Ximeng had already gone to see Feng Guoyong, and immediately ordered the soldiers to step up their drills.

Then Zhang Ximeng gave Feng Guoyong another idea, to tie some branches to the horse's tail, and then run in the barracks, creating a dusty feeling, as if Zhu's army was about to attack Gaoyou at any time.

What else can Feng Guoyong say, Gao, I've let you finish!

At this moment, Zhang Shicheng in the city was furious and anxious, turning back and forth on the ground.

When she saw Shi Naian coming back, it was as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Sir, you're back. Over there...how do you say it?" Zhang Shicheng was really worried, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang would not agree to surrender, and if he insisted on smashing, he would not know how it would end.

"Your Highness, over there, you are asked to join forces to fight against Yuan..."

"Okay! I promise!"

Zhang Shicheng agreed without waiting for Shi Naian's explanation.

Instead, Shi Naian was caught off guard. How could such a big matter be so hasty?

Zhang Shicheng, on the other hand, didn't care, "It's nothing more than lip service, anyway, let's get over this difficulty first."

Shi Naian was speechless, he always felt that being so handsome is not good enough, this matter is too involved, if Zhang Shicheng is unwilling to send troops to deal with Yuan Ting in the future, he will become a capricious villain, how can he command the world?

But Zhang Shicheng didn't care, and asked after him: "Are there any other conditions?"

"Yes, they want His Highness to tell everyone the intention of uniting against Yuan, and also want His Highness to hand over Gong Bosui."

Zhang Shicheng hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, who made their arms thick and strong!"

"The other thing is let us give up Huaiyan."

"What?" Zhang Shicheng said in shock, "What are they going to do?"

"To set up a salt affairs department, divide the accounts between three and seven."

"What, just leave [-]% to me? The surname Zhu is too greedy!" Zhang Shicheng turned pale with shock, and he could let everything else go, except money!He has been in business for half his life, and he never misses it!

Shi Naian grinned wryly, "Then, the [-]% belongs to others, only, only [-]% to His Highness!"

Snapped!

Zhang Shicheng was furious!

I worked so hard to organize the stove households to cook salt, but [-]% was given to someone surnamed Zhu, and I only accounted for [-]%. Didn’t I become a beggar?Still kneeling!

"No, absolutely not, I don't agree!"

Shi Naian had no choice but to hand over Zhang Ximeng's heart to Zhang Shicheng.After unfolding, the content is not complicated, there is only one sentence: how can you dare to fight if your weapons are blunt and your soldiers are tired?

The translation is: the knife is not sharp and the horse is too thin, what are you fighting with me!

Zhang Shicheng sat down on the chair, his eyes flickered, and he was out of breath... This king has been watched all over the place!

Shi Naian leaned over and looked at these words, his blood pressure soared and his face flushed red.

"Your Highness, he, they are bullying too much, I will argue with them again!"

At this moment, suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside, Zhang Shide ran in in a panic, and immediately reported that Zhu's army had pulled out no less than a hundred return artillery, ready to attack the city!

Zhang Shicheng was speechless in astonishment, and could only sigh sadly: "I, I promised it, but it's not enough!"

Chapter 141 I Want to Watch the Great Yuan Dynasty Come to an End

Standing in front of Zhang Ximeng was a middle-aged scholar in his forties. This person was full of literary spirit, and he looked like he had read poetry and books, and he was different from Zhou Huiniang's hard-pressed one. This person was as deep as the sea, deep and deep. Ruyuan.

This feeling is indeed true, this person has participated in the revision of the Three Histories, is Tuotuo's confidant and counselor, Zhongshu Counselor Gong Bosui!

Zhang Shicheng followed the agreement and sent him to Zhang Ximeng.

Gong Bosui just sneered, and proudly said with disdain: "Zhang Shicheng is a scumbag, with the divine sword in his hand and the jewels and jade in his hand, but he handed it over to others, and he will be captured by the Zhu thief in a long time!"

Zhu thief?

Are you talking about Zhu Yuanzhang?

You are quite discerning.

Li Wenzhong, who was by Zhang Ximeng's side, wanted to slap him, dare to call my uncle, you are impatient!

Zhang Ximeng waved his hand, "It's better to be polite to the guests, we managed to get it from Zhang Shicheng."

Li Wenzhong could only agree, but when Gong Bosui heard this, he was furious and snorted coldly, "Little thief, I have read the books of Confucius and Mencius since I was young, and repaired the classics of the Spring and Autumn Period. Huang... now unfortunately fell into the hands of thieves, it was bad luck and fate. But don't expect me to say anything, kill me with a knife if you have the ability, and honor my name of loyalty!"

Another great Yuan loyal minister!

Zhang Ximeng couldn't help laughing and said: "I heard that you have studied Song History, so why do you think the Song Dynasty was defeated?"

"This... of course, the fate is not here, and the dragon's energy is turning north, so why do you need to say more?"

Zhang Ximeng laughed loudly, "Sure enough, he is a great talent. He can actually see where the dragon is. I don't have that ability. I just know that Song Gaozong's gold medal summoned Yue Fei and changed his coach. The overall situation will not be able to be done. After more than 100 years, it is just lingering... A country, a court, without right and wrong, will only go downhill. It is absolutely difficult to recover. Now that Tuotuo has been deposed, I just don’t know how long the Yuan Dynasty can last?”

Zhang Ximeng asked with a smile, but in Gong Bosui's ears, the words were no less than the sound of a thunderclap.

That's right, a red thief boy can see what you want, so why did the court make mistakes?

Why depose the prime minister?Don't give him a chance to make contributions and wipe out the red thieves?

why?

Although some days passed, Gong Bosui still couldn't accept it.
