First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Holding the two children in his arms, he tried to squeeze a smile at them, "Don't be afraid, listen to grandma, let's be like your father, be a vigorous hero, be a family of all loyal people who will leave a name in history and shine through the ages ...Don't be afraid, we will be in heaven soon."

She tried her best to persuade the two children, but the eldest of the two children was only seven years old, how could they understand these things, they just burst into tears and sobbed non-stop, terrified to the extreme.

At this moment, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing!

The old lady's complexion changed drastically, "What's going on?"

Not long after, a servant ran over, and it turned out that Zhu's army had already launched a general attack.Surrounding the gap in the city wall, Hu led his men and horses to attack desperately.

Most of the gap was blown away, but there was still a height of more than eight feet. Shi Mo Yisun commanded the troops and tried his best to block Zhu's army back.

Then rush to repair the city wall and plug the gap.

Hu Guanzhu rushed twice, but was blocked by the low wall, and there were two more arrows on his body. The drums behind him became more and more passionate, and Hu Dahai's anger was already uncontrollable!

Must attack in!

"Again, I'll be the leader! Only advance, no retreat!"

Hu Guanzhu was holding a sharp axe, ready to charge again, if he couldn't get it off, he would die on the way to charge!

He braved his bow and crossbow again and charged forward. The soldiers beside him were scrambling to be the first, screaming and charging forward. They were getting closer and closer to the city wall, thirty steps, twenty steps, fifteen steps...

The archers in the city suddenly leaned out and shot desperately from both sides of the crenel. In an instant, several soldiers were hit by arrows.

Hu Guan's eyes were red, and at this moment, a group of crossbowmen from Zhu's army also arrived, and they shot wildly at the top of the city, the Yuan soldiers were suppressed, and their momentum inevitably weakened.

Seeing that the opportunity came, Hu Guanzhu rushed forward decisively, and finally reached the gap.

They had been here the previous two times, but it was this section of the low wall that caused them trouble.

Climbing to the top of the city, the opposite side is the Yuan soldiers who have already prepared, with spears and axes, wantonly harvesting, and the soldiers of Zhu's army will be killed as soon as they show their heads.

What should I do?

Just when Hu Guan was hesitating whether to rush up, a few soldiers rushed from beside him. They threw themselves under the city wall, put their heads against the city wall, and exposed their shoulders!

"on!"

In an instant, Hu Guanzhu understood what the brothers meant, he was startled, but he didn't dare to stop, he could only fly forward, he stepped on a stone and jumped up, and then he stepped on a soldier's shoulder.

Hu Guanzhu is strong and strong, with a full body of armor, one can imagine his weight.

He could clearly feel the sinking of the soldiers below.

But the soldier gritted his teeth, and then exerted all his strength, with his shoulders up, pushed Hu Guan to stop, and jumped up the wall!

With the help of this human ladder, after Hu was imprisoned, he swung the sharp ax in his hand, cut off the fatal shot, and swooped forward, splitting the Yuan army in two.

The other Yuan soldiers froze for a moment, and then swarmed to kill them, trying to poke their dead ends and lock them up.

And at this moment, the soldiers of Zhu's army, like carp leaping over the dragon's gate, stepped on their shoulders and rushed to the top of the city one by one.

With an assistant, Hu Guan stopped, slashed wantonly, and moved forward steadily.

There were more and more Zhu's troops behind him... At first, he stood up and carried a dozen brothers on his shoulders, but he was exhausted, blood sprayed from his mouth and nose, and the bones in his shoulders were injured and broken.

When a soldier stepped on him and jumped up, the soldier fell limply and lost his life, but his body was still lying on the ground, leaving his back to the brothers behind him.

The moment he fell, another soldier rushed up with tears in his eyes and continued to use his shoulders as a pedal... The soldiers never looked back, regardless of life or death.

As the vanguard of the whole army, they use their lives to open the way for other brothers.

Zhu's army moved extremely fast, and the follow-up soldiers rushed up with short ladders and planks, and quickly set up an attack route... So far, the soldiers finally didn't have to use their shoulders as ladders.

But during this period of attack, seven soldiers of the Zhu family army had already died, and several others had their bones broken, leaving them with permanent disabilities...

Hu Guanzhu led the troops, first seized the gap, and then rushed to the gate of the city.

Hu Haihai supervised the main force and also joined the attack sequence.

The Zhu family's army cooperated with the outside and opened the city gate, and countless soldiers rushed in... Zhuji's defenders were defeated!

Surrounded by his subordinates, Shi Mo Yisun tried to escape.

But when he turned his head, a flame shot up into the sky, it was his mansion!

The old lady ignited the firewood with her own hands, and immediately the flames rose and black smoke billowed.

"My son, don't be afraid, I will help you for my mother's soul, and let's break the thief together!"

Old lady with her arms around her grandchildren, wanting martyrdom.

But her daughter-in-law saw it, and felt extremely distressed. You want to fulfill your son, but the one in your arms is also my flesh and blood!She suddenly rushed forward desperately, trying to snatch the two children.

The old lady was furious immediately, "Bad maid! You are ruining my family's reputation of loyalty!"

She raised her crutches, hit her daughter-in-law's forehead, and fell down immediately.

The two children also ran over, crying loudly at their mother.

The flames were flying outside, grandma beat mother with her hands, and father didn't know where he was, what should I do?

The madam struggled and pushed the two children out of the house, "Run!"

With tears in their eyes, the two children hurried out, but within a few steps, the boy was caught by the grandmother, "Don't go!"

The old lady dragged her grandson back, and looking back, her granddaughter ran out from the door. The servants outside saw her, but they didn't stop her, but let her run away.

"It's not from my family after all! Just leave!" The old lady grabbed her grandson tightly, and rushed in towards the billowing flames... The fire in Shimoyisun's house burned to death his mother, wife, and son. Seeing this situation, two servants cried bitterly, jumped into the fire, and followed their masters.

But there are also two people who have no courage after all, so they can only turn around and run away.

Seeing the raging flames soaring into the sky, Shi Mo Yisun also knew that something happened at home, and with his mother's character, he must die for the country.Now that his mother has passed away, how can he live alone?

"Kill! Kill the red thief!"

Shi Mo Yisun seemed to be crazy, leading his men to fight desperately.

At this time, Xu Da also led the troops to arrive and joined the attack.

Hu Dahai and Hu Guanzhu's father and son were even covered in blood. They fought until dusk. They surrounded Shi Moyisun in the middle.

Hu Dahai ordered to clean up the battlefield, and Xu Da also came at this time. When the two met, Hu Dahai just snorted, "Our father and son are going to Jinling, and we will ask the superiors... These soldiers and horses will be handed over to Commander Xu !"

Xu Da was stunned for a moment, he could only watch Hu Dahai leave, and sighed helplessly, he has become a villain, but he can't do it if he doesn't!

The battle in Zhuji was over, except for the Hu family, Shi Moyi's Sun's family was martyred, and they were somewhat loyal and brave.I am used to seeing the wonderful things of the Yuan Dynasty, and a loyal minister and good general suddenly appeared, but I am not used to it.

Let's play it truthfully, give their family a rich burial, and reward loyalty.

What surprised Xu Da was that Zhang Ximeng ran into trouble when he sent this request: never praise Shi Moyisun's family!

Chapter 213 Zhu Jiajun's Conscience

"What do you think of Shimo Yisun's family?" Li Shanchang asked many civil servants under him.

He, the prime minister of the left, directly governs the six ministries. He is in charge of inheriting Wu Guogong from the top, governing the people, money, food and household registration, military vehicles, Xinggong, and even the transfer of personnel, and the establishment of schools and education.

So don't look at Zhang Ximeng's long hands and flamboyant play, but when it comes to real power, Li Shanchang still holds him steady.

Of course, this is also related to Zhang Ximeng restraining himself and not reaching out randomly.

For example, this time, in the name of the academy, he suppressed Xu Da's request. At the same time, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War under the jurisdiction of Li Shanchang thought that it should be given, and must be given. It would be too stingy not to give.

So Zhang Ximeng's obstruction may not be the final conclusion.

Needless to say, such a big event will definitely alarm Zhu Yuanzhang.

And vaguely, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that this matter was not simple. During this period of time, he handled the case of Hu Sanshe and uncovered a lot of silverfish smuggling alcohol. .The use of foreign troops was also considered smooth. Hu Dahai realized his shame and was brave enough to capture Zhuji in one fell swoop. This was a great achievement and wiped out the power of the Yuan court in Jiangnan.

But at this time, a loyal minister of the Yuan court appeared, and even his whole family was martyred to serve the country with death.

No matter how you look at it, you look like a super loyal minister. Even if you are an opponent, you should respect such a person, and it is not surprising to give him preferential treatment.But Zhang Ximeng strongly objected again.After the last thought collision, I encountered this kind of thing again.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it should not be taken lightly, but must be taken seriously, even more seriously than war!

Fighting a war is not complicated, just charge forward and kill the enemy bravely, but when it comes to ideological matters, you can't be careless.If it is not handled well, it will be sectarianism, and it will even develop into party disputes.

Zhu Yuanzhang's realm is already very high, but he is still not sure that he can hold everything in his hands.

For this matter, Lao Zhu made an exception and ordered all the civil servants from both sides to come over, and by the way, he also called Feng Guosheng, Wu Liang, Hua Yun, Li Wenzhong and others to listen.

In this way, apart from Xu Da, Hu Dahai, Chang Yuchun, Zhu Wenzheng, Tang He and others, all the civil and military officials of the entire Zhu family army arrived.

Li Shanchang led Jia Lu, Zhu Sheng, Yang Yuangao, Ruan Hongdao, Li Xi, Tao An, Yang Xian and others, and sat on the east side.

Zhang Ximeng, Liu Bowen, Song Lian, Sun Yan, Zhang Yi, Ye Chen, Wang Guangyang, the lineup should not be underestimated.

Lao Zhu sits in the middle, as for those generals, they sit opposite to each other, they belong to the cheerleading team, the atmosphere group, let's experience the fierce battles that are different from the battlefield!

Look at your real knives and guns, so what?

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Jia Lu was the first to stand up. He coughed and even glanced at Zhang Ximeng. To be honest, the old man is definitely not from Li Shanchang's side, but he definitely agrees to reward Shi Moyisun .

Moreover, he came out to initiate this and set the tone, so as to avoid direct conflict between Zhang Ximeng and Li Shanchang, which can be said to be well-intentioned.

"Superior, after conquering Zhuji, there are no soldiers and horses of the Yuan court in the south of the Yangtze River. Fang Guozhen, Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youding...Although they accept Zhao'an, they are not loyal officials of the Yuan Dynasty anyway. We will give Shi Moyi Sun , a grand burial, praise of loyalty, is actually telling the people of the world that the Great Yuan Dynasty has collapsed in the south of the Yangtze River, half of the country has been lost, and the country is not far away from subjugation."

Jia Lu said a key meaning, just like the dynasties of all dynasties, after their establishment, they will pay close attention to revising the history of the previous dynasties. In fact, it doesn't matter what they repair, but the matter of revising history is very important!

To hold a funeral for Shi Moyisun, a grand burial, half of the rivers and mountains of the Yuan Dynasty was buried, which was especially important for Zhu Yuanzhang, who was determined to expel the Hulu.

Just hearing this, Lao Zhu almost nodded.

What an old fairy farting, extraordinary!

Then Jia Lu said: "Praise Shi Mo Yisun, is it to encourage the courtiers of the Yuan court to fight us to the death? Of course not! This is like Shi Mo Yisun, the loyalty of the whole family who died for the country cannot save the peril. .When we pay homage to him, we are actually slapping the emperor in the face of Dadu. It proves that the Yuan Dynasty will be destroyed forever, and it is irreversible!"

When Jia Lu said this, he paused for a moment, then stared at Zhang Ximeng and said, "Even if you are an opponent or an enemy, you won't be able to knock down a whole boat of people with one pole, let's leave some room for it!"

After Jia Lu finished speaking, the corners of Li Shanchang's mouth turned up unconsciously. This level is high... I should learn more in the future.

He deliberated for a moment, and then said: "Superior, what Jia Canzheng said is very true, and the humble one thinks that the common people often say that they are loyal ministers and filial sons, and everyone respects them. Shi Mo Yisun died for the country and died in the battle. Mother, wife, son, servants, all Martyrdom... Loyal ministers, filial sons, righteous servants and chaste wives, all together. Throughout the ages, there are not many loyal ministers who can do this. Now the superior sits in the southeast, looks at the world, praises loyalty, and strengthens people's hearts. It is also reasonable Things like this can just boost morale, and I think there is nothing wrong with it!"

After these two people finished talking, those generals nodded their heads, it really makes sense, so why hesitate, let's do it quickly!

How could Mr. Zhang disagree with such an obvious matter?

Could it be that Mr. Zhang also gets confused sometimes?

At this moment, Lao Zhu set his eyes on Zhang Ximeng, and said proactively, "Mr. Zhang, what's your talk?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "My lord, I really don't know how to judge Shi Moyisun's family now... But I heard that some soldiers jumped at the gap in the siege this time, using their bodies as ladders, and let the soldiers step on their walls." body, rushed into Zhuji, and took the first place... A soldier was strong and strong, with a weight of more than 100 catties, plus dozens of catties of armor weapons, and ran up the city. How much strength is this? Come today After recruiting so many generals, I would like to ask the big guys, how many people can you push up? You know, seven of our soldiers died!"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals present could not help but take a deep breath, and Hua Yun even moved her buttocks, amazed and full of admiration.

As Zhang Ximeng said, building a human ladder is not a trivial matter, especially at the juncture of siege, one after another, the force is strong enough to break bones and cause internal injuries. If you continue to serve as a human ladder, you will indeed die, or even be trampled. The body was broken into pieces, and there was no whole body.

The soldiers of Zhu's army have achieved this, and they are worthy of being elite soldiers!

Moreover, these soldiers are not only capable of fighting, but also have a spirit of sacrifice. They are brave and loyal and must be rewarded.

At this time Yang Yuangao said: "Mr. Zhang, we have also seen Xu Da's report. Naturally, our soldiers will be heavily rewarded and compensated. This is a reasonable thing. It is just a reward for Shi Moyisun's family, not to be punished." Are you going?"

As soon as he finished saying this, Liu Bowen immediately said that Zhang Ximeng couldn't let Zhang Ximeng fight against the Confucians alone, and our old Liu had to help.

"You can't say that. This is a battle. On one side are our people, fighting to the death and dying for the country. On the other side is the enemy, who is stubbornly resisting, and the whole family suffers. Some people advocate praising the enemy, even if our people are also being praised. How can both parties be rewarded? What kind of reason is this? Aren’t you afraid that the soldiers won’t be able to figure it out?”

As Liu Bowen left the stage, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

Tao An also spoke up. As a Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, he really didn't pay much attention to Liu Bowen from eastern Zhejiang.

"Praise our soldiers because of the word loyalty and bravery, and praise Shi Moyisun because of loyalty. This is different!"

"Why is it different? Don't they all carry the word loyalty? You told me Shi Moyi's grandson is loyal, so who is traitor?" Liu Bowen's words were sharp, and he directly turned back.

Tao An's face flushed red and he was dumbfounded.

Li Xi immediately said: "The Great Yuan Dynasty still can't take care of its loyal ministers, and wants us to help praise... Doesn't this just mean that the Yuan court is exhausted?"

Liu Bowen sneered, "The end of life and the end of life are not the same thing! If it is to invade Dadu and destroy the Yuan court, I think it is all right! But at the moment, I firmly oppose it!"

……

With Liu Bowen's exit, Song Lian also joined the battle. On the other side, Yang Xian also came out.

Those generals simply stared straight at the eyes.

Hey, is this a fight between gods and gods?

How do you listen to what everyone says makes sense?

What the hell are they arguing about?

Even among the generals, Feng Guosheng and Li Wenzhong, who had a relatively high level of education, were all confused and said it was terrible!
