First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 144

Zhang Shicheng sighed, his being beaten really hurts, and he was even frustrated.

But Shi Naian, he thought about it again and again, and suddenly exclaimed, "His Royal Highness, God bless you!"

Zhang Shicheng doesn't bother to speak anymore, God bless me, let me lose one after another?

Don't deceive yourself, can't you do it!

Zhang Shide also hummed angrily: "Mr. Shi, Zhu Yuanzhang has left the barracks long ago. They are just bluffs, why didn't you see it?" The tone was all blame, Shi Naian was really speechless, but he I think this is not the point.

"His Royal Highness, take off the siege of Gaoyou, Yuan Ting changed his generals, and his Highness won. Now Zhu Yuanzhang is besieging Gaoyou again, but he is attacked by the Yuan army and has to retreat... In just a short time, God has blessed Your Highness twice. Isn't it the fate of God? ?"

Zhang Shicheng was startled, he touched his nose, didn't he?

It seems that this is really the case.

Needless to say, Zhu Yuanzhang was also besieged Gaoyou this time, and the defenders had lost their fighting spirit. Seeing that he couldn't hold it anymore, the Yuan army helped him and attracted Zhu Yuanzhang back. , I had to give up Gaoyou City... What kind of luck is this?

As soon as his concept changed and his mind opened up, Zhang Shicheng suddenly felt that the world was much broader.

It really has God's will in the dark!

"Mr. Shi, you, do you think we have destiny? God is helping me?"

What can Shi Nai'an say? Maybe you also have destiny, but it is a pity that God obviously prefers Zhu Yuanzhang. Otherwise, how could you bother and escape.

However, since it is Zhang Shicheng's subordinate, eating other people's food, how can he not say good things, not to mention that he was indeed fooled by a child, how can he not get the face back?

Therefore, Shi Nai'an developed his lotus skills, with a smile on his face, "His Royal Highness, once can be said to be a coincidence, but two consecutive times, it is absolutely not a coincidence. Tianxin is on Your Highness, and now the powerful enemies are gone. Your Highness is right. Make every effort to control the war, and fight hard, and it won't be long before your Royal Highness is strong and strong, and you can naturally avenge your shame!"

Zhang Shicheng thought about it for a long time, and finally showed a smile on his face. He slapped his forehead vigorously, "That's right! Mr. Shi, thanks to your guidance, otherwise I almost gave up on myself!"

Zhang Shicheng cheered up. He was born as a private salt dealer. After too much suffering, he was determined to talk about it. Although he was not as strong as Zhu Yuanzhang, he was also very tenacious, and he could not be defeated once or twice.

We must regroup, we must cheer up, whether it is Yuan Ting or Zhu Yuanzhang, let's wait and see!

Zhang Shicheng immediately appointed Shi Nai'an as a councilor to plan military affairs for him.

Shi Naian did not fail Zhang Shicheng's entrustment, and immediately proposed that he should quickly gather the Yuan Ting's defeated army, surrender and accept the rebellion, taking advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's time to take care of it, let go of his hands and feet, and develop his strength.

This proposal was readily adopted by Zhang Shicheng. He sent several brothers to regain Taizhou, Baoying, Yancheng and other places... Generally, a situation where the east and the west were divided into the two Huaihe Rivers with the canal as the boundary. Huaixi belonged to Zhu Yuanzhang and Huaidong It's Zhang Shicheng's.

Faced with this result, Zhang Shicheng was still satisfied, but soon he discovered the problem. Most of the elite of the Yuan army had taken refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, leaving him only a few old, weak, sick and handicapped, as well as many unruly Western soldiers. horse.

Now Zhang Shicheng was so angry, why did the surname Zhu keep pressing on himself? No reason?

Shi Naian was also puzzled, and he had to find a way to inquire... It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang and Yuan Jun Zhenger had played several times, and they were all clean and tidy, and won a big victory. Regarding the record, Zhang Shicheng picked up a victory in vain, and he couldn't keep up with Zhu Jiajun.

And he has already declared clearly that he wants to follow Zhu Yuanzhang, even if we surrender, we should surrender more promising, so what is the waste of following you?

Faced with this result, Zhang Shicheng was also helpless and frustrated with anger.

But what does he have to say?

"Give me my order and tell everyone, give me life training and don't let it go. Next time I meet someone surnamed Zhu. If I still lose, I will chop my head one by one!"

Zhang Shicheng made a ruthless gesture, and must fight back this tone!

It was too embarrassing for even the soldiers to look down upon him.

And Zhang Ximeng, who took advantage of the advantage, did not dare to slack off. After returning from Gaoyou, he immediately said to Feng Guo: "Commander Feng, Zhang Shicheng will definitely regain his vitality next time. There are 100,000 people and all kinds of things are like a mess. In addition to managing the city, you have to guide the people out of the city and go to the military to settle down. The mess is really stressful. You have to carry this burden."

Feng Guoyong looked solemn. To tell the truth, it would be difficult to manage a city as large as Yangzhou before.

To supply food to the majority of the people, it is necessary to arrange for workshops and commercial houses to operate normally, to organize sales, to collect taxes, and to maintain stability.

However, there are still many powerful and wealthy businessmen in the city. They have raised many thugs, and there will be chaos immediately if they are not suppressed by soldiers and horses. Even if there are ten thousand soldiers under the pressure, this group of people will continue to move secretly.

At this point, almost twenty soldiers of the Zhu Family Army were assassinated.

The whole situation is very serious.

Zhang Ximeng is not only careful and versatile, but also has a high status in Zhu Yuanzhang's place. Lao Zhu won't blame him if he let go.

It was Feng Guoyong. He was not even the first group to return. He had a shallow foundation, but he wanted to manage the largest and most complex city under Zhu Yuanzhang's rule.

The difficulty can be imagined.

"I, I will do my best!" Feng Guoyong gritted his teeth.

Zhang Ximeng nodded. There is no doubt about Lao Feng's ability. The only thing that worries him is that Feng Guo may not be able to hold it with his body. Although it looks very energetic now, Feng Guoyong died young in history, which made people worry. Very embarrassed.

"Don't worry too much. The messy things with me by the lord's side will definitely not affect you. Let go and do it, don't worry about it. For the governance of Yangzhou, you must be able to punch, open and close, and be unafraid. . As long as it is the right thing, you must keep moving forward!"

Feng Guoyong vibrated and nodded vigorously. With Zhang Ximeng's assurance, he was three more courageous.

"Mr.'s love, I remember it in my heart." Feng Guoyong said again: "This time Yuan Ting dispatched 100,000 horses from the south of the Yangtze River. If they can be wiped out in Hezhou, it will be much easier to cross the river next. "

Feng Guo's heart and soul are still celebrating. Although Yangzhou is good, it's not as good as Jinling Tiger, there is a lot to do!

Zhang Ximeng naturally agrees with Feng Guoyong's ideas, but if he wants to cross the river smoothly, he has to look at the navy.

Boats are everything!

Zhang Ximeng and Feng Guo used their farewells, and returned to Chuzhou as quickly as possible, and met Jia Lu.

"At the moment, the upper leader is in Hezhou and is dealing with Yuan Ting. The land battle has more victory and less defeat, but there are no ships. The Yuan army can come and go freely with the navy of the Yangtze River. Our situation is not good."

Jia Lu went straight ahead, "Now the best way is to recruit the Chaohu navy. As long as they can surrender, we will have the capital."

Zhang Ximeng blinked, "Heng Gong (Jia Lu Zi You Heng), Chaohu navy looks like Xu Shouhui's subordinates, right? We want to surrender, can it be that easy?"

Jia Lu smiled, "The old man knows that you will ask that. I have carefully calculated these days. Actually, Chaohu Marine Master is divided into three factions, not monolithic. With your ingenuity, you should be able to find a way to break the game..."

As Jia Lu spoke, he told him what he had learned again... Chaohu navy was under the control of Zhao Pusheng and Li Pusheng on the surface, and confronted Zuo Junbi of Luzhou.

But in fact, Zhao Pusheng is also Peng Dang, and he doesn't have time to build big ships and train navy. The foundation of the Chaohu navy was the original Chaohu fisherman, and even simply said that he was the original water thief.

Chaohu Lake is very vast, it is said that there are eight hundred li.

Regardless of whether there are any, anyway, such as Liangshanpo, Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake, Taihu Lake... these vast waters, there will be countless water pirates.

In fact, saying that they are water pirates, it is a bit too far, maybe they are the people outside the world!

The lake is rich in products, and there are islands in the middle of the lake, where you can grow your own food and feed yourself. If the government encircled and suppressed, they would hide in the lake and no one would be found.

When the officers and soldiers retreat, they can attack decisively and take the cold to make the officers and soldiers miserable.

It's simply a pig's tactics, perfectly reproduced. When you encounter an attack, you will hide in the lake, so you can't catch the traces, and finally help him, he can't fix it, he has sharp teeth, and I will give you a bite. If you bite it, don't let it go.

Relying on the tactics that the general seat has said, the water pirates whistling and gathering in the lake, like a foreign land.

And this kind of place, once in troubled times, will often become the first to raise the flag of uprising.

The two major forces of the Chaohu Navy, one is the Yu family and the other is the Liao family. They each own hundreds of ships and their power is amazing.

On the contrary, Zhao Pusheng and Li Pusheng, they only relied on the name of Emperor Tianwan, relying on the identity of Peng Dang, to dominate these water pirates, and became the nominal masters of the Chaohu navy.

Neither the Yu family nor the Liao family completely obeyed Zhao Pusheng. If they are really united, they won't be bullied by Zuo Junbi.

"The old man thought that Zhao Pusheng and Li Pu would be Zuo Junbi's predecessors, but they were bullied by Zuo Junbi. He was quite resentful. If his vitality is severely injured today, he seems to be able to take the opportunity to surrender these two people."

"Why are you recruiting them?" Zhang Ximeng asked suddenly, and Jia Lu was stunned. Are there any questions?

The old man patiently said: "The Yu family and the Liao family are both water pirates. They can only stare at the one-third of the land in Chaohu. They definitely don't have the courage to rush out. If you don't find the double sword Zhao Pusheng, no one will help the upper ranks to cross the land. Jiang's!"

Zhang Ximeng didn't think so. He shook his head and said, "Heng Gong, do you look down on the Liao family and the Yu family like this? You think they are willing to be pirates for a lifetime?"

Jia Lu chuckled, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "Experience Zhang, the old man would like to know, why do you trust the Yu family and the Liao family so much? I am sure they can have such a long-term vision?"

Zhang Ximeng laughed secretly. In fact, Jialu is better than himself when it comes to analytical ability, but because of the arrogance of scholars, the old man can take a high look at the Red Scarf. After all, he lost to the Red Scarf and has nothing to say.

But the gangsters of the level of Liao's and Yu's, the old man, no matter what!

Zhang Ximeng didn't want to explain too much. Zhao Pusheng and Li Pusheng were both god-worn people.

On the contrary, the Liao family and the Yu family are the best wooers.

When Zhang Ximeng was thinking about how to make a move, two people asked to see him together.

One is called Yu Tonghai and the other is called Liao Yongzhong!

Hearing the news, Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but smile, "I said Henggong, this time you are convinced, don't underestimate the heroes of the world in the future!"

Jia Lu pursed his beard with anger and ridiculed: "Don't be too proud of you too early. If the two of you hadn't encountered a problem, they wouldn't come over so easily, so be careful!"
