First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded when he heard that, 1000 taels of gold turned into ten taels of silver, which is too greedy!

To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang has also become immune to strange people and strange things these years. Who would have thought that a small soldier, alone, could enter the city to capture a general, and a thief would dare to jump out and surrender himself? After being captured, everyone turned out to be talented...

From this point of view, spending ten taels of silver to buy a fake map and then attack Jinling is not necessarily fucking fake news!

It's such a wonderful year!

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it again and again, and finally ordered to call several core civil and military personnel over to discuss it quickly.

Not long after, Zhang Ximeng, Zhu Sheng, Xu Da and others all came.

After the big guy heard the news, he thought it was unbelievable at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be reasonable.

Zhang Ximeng first said: "My lord, according to our people's secret report, Ni Wenjun seems to intend to accept Yuan Ting's peace. Chen Youliang rushed back, and suddenly killed Kuanche Puhua's whole family, just to prevent Ni Wenjun from surrendering to Yuan Ting. their connection."

After several years of operation, Zhu Jiajun's intelligence system has become quite powerful.

Wu Datou's escape from Dadu does not mean that Zhu's army's intelligence system in Dadu has collapsed... On the contrary, in recent years, countless people have been added to work for Zhu's army.

There are countless teachings and nine streams, and there are everyone.

From the most humble beggars to the young and energetic scholars, the most outrageous thing is, are there many Mongolians and Semu people here?

What is even more unbelievable is that more than [-]% to [-]% of them do not ask for any compensation.

Zhu Jiajun's outline for dividing land, Song Lian's tribute in front of Zongze's tomb, the recent government decree on granting land to women, including school plans, taxation guidelines...and those classic opera works.

Everything is spreading rapidly among the people, and people gradually pin their hopes on Zhu Jiajun... Perhaps the people who can be contacted are still worthless compared to the total number of people, and they cannot reverse the overall situation of the world. In an industry, there are one or two insiders who are willing to support Zhu Jiajun. They took the initiative to pass various news to Zhu Jiajun and do things for Zhu Jiajun.

The energy produced is unparalleled.

Ashamed to say, Guo Ying's worry today is not that there is no news, but that there is too much news, and he doesn't know how to choose.

It took only two or three days for Tianwan and Jinling to go down the river. Ni Wenjun and his group were careless in their actions, so they should not be surprised if they were found out by Zhu's army.

"Ni Wenjun and his like are capricious. They only care about their own glory and wealth. It is reasonable for the people below to be scattered, greedy for money and profit, and desperate." Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but sighed softly when he said this: "My lord, we It should be a warning!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was serious, it sounded like a joke, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't dare to take it as a joke, even after laughing, his spine felt chills and shuddered.

He is also the master of one side, commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and having millions of people. Zhu Yuanzhang knows the joints here best.

Fighting the world is not doing business. As a boss, as long as the money is in place, the people below will do things seriously.

But it is not enough to compete for the throne, because this industry is too risky and the benefits are too great... If you succeed, you will be the Ninth Five-Year King, if you lose, you will never recover, and there is no other choice.

Therefore, people in it will not give their lives to you just because of a little money and favor, absolutely don't even think about it.

Why do you think that a person like Lu Bu An Lushan will stick to the bottom line of life, but he is devoted to you and obeys orders?This doesn't make sense logically!

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the most important thing for him to win the approval of his subordinates is to lead by example, be consistent in appearance and inward, be fair in rewards and punishments, and keep the bottom line.The decrees made must be implemented without compromise.Even if it was Hu Sanshe, if he said he would kill him, he would kill him.

In troubled times, what we are most afraid of is capriciousness and uncertainty.

Ni Wenjun gave birth to a heart of Zhaoan, and Tianwan's internal feelings were fluctuating, and there was a big disturbance immediately, so he naturally had to take it as a warning.

That said, it's not that the Zhu family's army is monolithic, everyone is a loyal and righteous minister.

If 1000 taels of gold were placed in front of him, there might not be many people in Zhu's army who could stand the test.

It's just that according to the virtues of Ni Wenjun's subordinates, those who want them to offer 1000 taels of gold to buy Zhu Jiajun don't know whether Ni Wenjun will pay 10 taels or 100 million taels... From this point of view, the Zhu Jiajun as a whole is still reliable, there is no way , It is too difficult to buy.

"Mr. Zhang's reminder is that military discipline must be strictly enforced in the future, and the laws and regulations must be implemented... We must let everyone know that we mean what we say, and we will never contradict what we say!"

Old Zhu resolutely said that the importance of this matter was even higher than combat.

After finishing speaking, Lao Zhu continued to discuss the battle in front of him.

"Ni Wenjun didn't come, but instead wanted to attack Jinling, what should we do?"

Zhu Sheng thought about it and said: "Superior, although Ni Wenjun made a fake map, it is really ridiculous. But this person is fierce and good at fighting, so he should not be underestimated. The wrong map can make him suffer, but it is not enough to dissuade him from attacking Jinling. We There are not many choices, the safest thing is to withdraw the troops back, choose a location along the Yangtze River, and give them a head-on blow." Zhu Sheng said here, looking at the three people in front of him.

It was found that not only Zhang Ximeng but Zhu Yuanzhang, and even Xu Da were frowning.

They have been besieging Hongdu for so long, and they have already breached the city wall. If they retreat here, it will be even more difficult to attack Hongdu next time.

And from another point of view, if you return to aid immediately, can you really defeat Ni Wenjun?

It seems that it is not that simple.

Xu Da pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Superior, Ni Wenjun attacked Jinling, thinking of forcing us to return to the army. Can we conquer Hongdu immediately, and attack Jiangzhou instead, forcing Ni Wenjun to return to help?"

Zhang Ximeng's eyes widened. This idea is not bad, isn't it just a change of home?

It's just easier said than done. The key is whether the Zhu family army along the Yangtze River can hold on?

Also, Ni Wenjun took a fake map, who knows where he will attack from...

Now it is Zhu Jiajun who is in a difficult situation.

"How about this? Immediately send an order to tell Li Shanchang of Jinling to order him to be on guard. Then, Xu Da, you and Chang Yuchun Hu Dahai stormed Hongdu, and then sent someone to persuade Hu Tingrui to surrender. Within five days, we will break through Hongdu." If it doesn't work, we can only retreat first."

After Zhu Yuanzhang made his decision, he subconsciously glanced at Zhang Ximeng and found that Zhang Ximeng nodded vigorously, agreeing with Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement very much.

The Zhu family's army immediately took action, it was time to send letters, it was time to persuade them to surrender, it was time to prepare for an offensive... In a word, the Zhu family's army moved.

On the big river, the wind and waves are surging, and on both sides of the Yangtze River, the rice is growing gratifyingly, and it will not be long before another bumper harvest will be ushered in.First, Timur led several veterinarians, who were busy trimming the hooves of the local farmers in Dingjiazhou.

Not far away, more than 2 soldiers and prisoners are building castles, paving roads and bridges here, in preparation for the development of Tongling's mineral resources.

Accompanied by the [-] captives, it turned out to be the [-] soldiers of the guards under the command of Guo Xing.

Guo Xing is Guo Ying's elder brother. He is calm and thoughtful, and his evaluation in the army is even higher than that of Guo Ying.

He was chatting with a few wizards from the prisoner camp when he suddenly saw Ye Xian running over in a hurry, covered in cow dung.

"Guo Qianhu, something is wrong, there are 8000 people who have landed in Dingjiazhou and are coming here!"

Guo Xing was shocked, "What? Where did they come from?"

Also first Timur swallowed and spit, not without worry, he said: "Seeing that the banner is Tianwan's soldier, Guo Qianhu, hurry up and make an idea!"

Guo Xing frowned. He led the army to build the city and fortress. The defense here was pretty solid, but the problem was that he had only 8000 soldiers, while the opponent had [-].

"Timur first too, you can't read wrong, right?"

He also cried first, "I have led several 10 people, can I still be wrong? Guo Qianhu, you should quickly find a way! Otherwise, let the thieves from Tianwan kill us, and we will be finished!"

we!

Guo Xing was startled, then turned his head, and looked at the group of people in front of him... Xuexue, a member of the Privy Council, Gong Bosui, a member of the Zhongshu Council, General Aluhui, don't be rude, Wanhu Nahachu, Yang Zhongying, etc. .

Guo Xing suddenly took a breath, and said in a deep voice, "Are you willing to fight side by side with us?"

These people are also stupid when they hear this, can this work?

Chapter 244 Loyal ministers of the Yuan Dynasty, everyone is here!

Guo Xing felt that he was crazy, and wanted to let the captives participate in the battle!

Don't forget, they are all generals of the Yuan Dynasty and were captured by Zhu's army. Can these people fight for Zhu's army?What if they take up arms and strike back?

Guo Xing never thought that he could decide such a big matter, not even his brother Guo Ying!

For such a big matter, only Zhang Ximeng can make an impromptu decision, and only Zhu Yuanzhang can make the final decision.If someone else does it, even if they make a contribution, there will be follow-up troubles.

"I don't think so!"

Xuexue suddenly said something, he seemed to object, but Guo Xing seemed to have received an amnesty, which saved his life!

Guo Xing wanted to immediately deny this absurd proposal, but Xuexue's next sentence broke Guo Xing's defenses, "Guo Qianhu, until now, you still distinguish between us. If Prime Minister Zhang is here, guarantee will scold you!"

First, Timur was out of breath, running all the way, very hard, when he heard this, he even grinned, "Well said! Guo Qianhu, I can tell you, Wu Guogong said it a long time ago, we Zhu Jiajun, Han people, Miao people, Mongols, men, women, all are treated equally!"

"Now that thieves are coming, the people are in danger, and the common people are suffering, but you say us, you...you really let the big guys down!"

Good guy, these two sang together and even made Guo Xing laugh.

You kid still dare to educate and reform us, you are too far behind!

Guo Xing was so depressed that he vomited blood. On a whim, he came up with an idea that made him ride on the back of a tiger, and he couldn't get off.

What should I do?

Refusing the prisoners to participate in the war, after reviewing, he definitely did not end well.

But if they are allowed to join the battle, if these people turn to Tianwan and strike back, the consequences will be even more disastrous... Help!

I'm just a small thousand households, don't test me with this kind of thing!

Guo Xing was devastated, but at the same time, there was a faint sound of killing in the distance, Tianwan's soldiers landed in large numbers, Guo Xing's scalp was numb, and his whole body was shivering.

"Don't hesitate!"

Gong Bosui suddenly took two steps forward, and when he reached Guo Xing, he bowed deeply.

"Guo Qianhu, I know your worries. If it were us, I'm afraid it would be more worrying than you. But I hope you understand one thing. We are all human beings with flesh and blood. We have hearts and ideas. I also understand whether it is good or bad. The Zhu family’s army has come to this day not because of the invincible generals who are invincible in all battles, nor because of some ghosts with as much wisdom as demons. It is because of being practical, doing what you say, and exchanging your sincerity for your sincerity!"

"Timur also said earlier that Zhu's army treats everyone equally. Not only that, but I also know that Wu Guogong and his wife also live a simple life and never waste. The wife even weaves cloth to make military uniforms by herself. When she was pregnant with the son, she never slacked off. And Zhang Xianggong, his incorruptibility is recognized by thieves."

Having said that, everyone involuntarily turned their attention to Lu Qiuyun.

At this moment, the Thief is also blushing... He is the strangest in the huge prisoner-of-war camp. Everyone else was defeated and captured, but he was the one who stole things and was stuffed in.

Among these people, he was so out of place that his waist protruded even more.

However, although there are all kinds of inconveniences, the courses in the prisoner-of-war camp are still very attractive to Lu Qiuyun.

Because the basic courses here answered his doubts.

The husband will tell them what is creating wealth and what is distributing wealth... In short, farming and grazing both create wealth and are both dignified and honest.

As for the distribution of wealth, such as tax collection, trade and transportation, and exchange of needs, these are also taken for granted.

But there are some things that are not so correct, such as plundering, such as killing, which naturally also includes theft... Lu Qiuyun is both Confucianism and Taoism, and is proficient in all walks of life. In fact, he is extremely smart, but his lack of structure has trapped him.

Now, after listening to the course, it became clear immediately... what he did was not the right way, but crooked way, and it was a crooked way, which was relatively unreliable.

It is probably better than burning, killing and plundering everywhere. How can the world be unified with this kind of unscrupulous means?

Isn't this idiot's dream, self-deception?

The logic made sense. Lu Qiuyun was in the prisoner-of-war camp, working very actively, and he knew everything. He belonged to the panacea of ​​panacea, and he even made a lot of friends.

"That's right, I know Zhang Xiang is an upright official, and I know even more that he is a good official! Zhu Jiajun has done everything right, and I am willing to fight with the thieves in Tianwan! Even if I lose my life, I will not hesitate. Just ask , I just ask Guo Qianhu to write me a sentence, saying that I died for the Wu Kingdom of China, and I will die without regrets!"

After Lu Qiuyun finished speaking, several captives beside him shouted, "Yes, we are willing too!"

Gradually, the roar shook the sky, and the momentum was like a rainbow!

Facing the sound of mountains roaring and tsunami, Guo Xing suddenly felt that he was full of strength. For a moment, he was not afraid of tens of thousands of Tianwan soldiers.

Maybe this is the answer!

Zhu Jiajun's strength stems from this!

Guo Xing raised his brows wildly, looking at this group of soldiers who were filled with righteous indignation and eager to fight, he finally became ruthless.

Anyway!

Even if the superior wanted to punish him, he would suffer it himself.

Anyway, at this moment, he wants to fight!

"Everyone obeys!"

"According to your original establishment, return to the subordinates of the generals, immediately receive weapons, and prepare for battle... If you don't have weapons for the time being, use the shovels and pickaxes in your hands!"

With an order, everyone agreed with a bang.

The big guys were all smiles, as if they were not participating in the battle, but it was the Chinese New Year, not to mention how happy they were.

Xuexue, Bie Buhua, Nahachu, Aluhui... all greeted their subordinates, each leading a team, excited and ready to fight.

I also looked around first, and found that my two nephews, Harazhang and Sanbaonu, were also in the crowd.

"Why are you two willing to fight for Zhu's army?"

The faces of the two boys were flushed, but they also said something, "Uncle, this, this is a thief! My father is here, and he will not object!"

Also first Timur couldn't help laughing, "Okay, you are right! But I can tell you, since you are fighting against the bandits, you are not allowed to retreat, and you are not allowed to be ashamed! We would rather die on the way to charge! We can't be the first It's a shame for the second time!"

The two boys were startled for a while, and immediately nodded vigorously.

Seeing the more than 2 captives, carrying crude tools, each of them entered the adjacent fortress, waiting in full force... But among the crowd, there were still some of the most stubborn guys, and they were unwilling to increase the strength of Zhu's army.

"Send us away! We will never fight for you."
