First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 151

Zhang Ximeng's move to Tongling successfully exceeded his expectations.

After understanding, Zhang Ximeng knew that Peng Dang and Yuan Jun had been torn apart along the Yangtze River. Tongling, Anqing, and Chizhou had all suffered military disasters. The people were miserable and hoped for treatment.

And the reputation of Zhu's army has been spread, and now that he has no offense in the south to the autumn, he has naturally won the support of the people.

Zhang Ximeng was very excited, but he also knew that he was not strong enough at the moment. To put it bluntly, he was still a partial division who broke down the Yangtze River defense line for Zhu Yuanzhang.

So when it comes to taking Jinling, you really look up to him.

But going down the river, it's important to win peace.

Taiping is located in the upper reaches of Jinling. It guards the important place. It is not only the land gateway of Jinling, but also the important place where the Yuan army navy is stationed. The Yuan army stationed heavy troops here.

"The governor, as far as the old man knows, the leader of the Yuan army stationed on Taiping Road is not spent at the end of Pingzhang, and the generals have Wanhu Naha, Wanjun, in addition to the Han generals Zhang Xu and Daluhua Chip Lihan Huli, General Manager Jin Yi and others, good soldiers and strong generals, tens of thousands of horses, want to attack, I am afraid it will not be easy!"

Tao An sighed, "I wonder how many people did the governor bring?"

Zhang Ximeng grinned bitterly, "Excluding the navy, there are only 1,500 people."

"what!"

Tao An and Li Xi were shocked. They thought that Zhang Ximeng was able to go down to Tongling with a single drum. Naturally, there were 10,000 or 20,000 people. In the end, there were only more than 1,000 people, which is too few!

Li Xi reluctantly said: "There are more soldiers and horses, but there are few ways to play. If you are not capable of the enemy, you will be outsmart, right?"

This is really just like listening to the Lord's words.

Not being able to rival is not just outsmarting.

The question is who has this wisdom?

Zhang Ximeng arrived for the first time, and the two old men were good at school. Let them fight and make suggestions, then they would be blinded.

There was silence in the room for a while, and suddenly Tao An patted his thigh, "I think of someone, he must go!"

"Who?"

"Brother Fenglin!" Tao An said with a smile: "He is a master, but it's a pity that he has been squandered so far. He can only teach at home. If he can go out of the mountains, the land of the south of the Yangtze River can be settled!"

Tao An said that Brother Fenglin was like a living god, Zhang Ximeng was also very curious, who on earth is this, with such a skill, the magician living **** Liu Bowen?

Li Xi took the initiative to introduce to Zhang Ximeng that this brother Fenglin happened to belong to the old Zhu family. He was also named Zhu with his surname Zhu Sheng, whose name was Yunsheng, and his name was Fenglin.

Zhu Sheng is a famous person, he and Zhu Xi are of the same clan, similar to the relationship between Zhang Ximeng and Zhang Yanghao. His mother is also a pretty lady, Zhu Sheng studied at the age of eight, studied under celebrities, and wrote many books in his early years.

He did not seek fame or fame, nor did he seek fame and fame. He just did Chizhou Xuezheng. Later, Zhu Sheng returned to Shexian County, behind closed doors, farming, teaching students, and enjoying himself.

It is not easy to get this old man out of the mountain.

"Hey, in fact, we also know in our hearts that Brother Fenglin is so talented and rare in the world. He was selected as a scholar at the age of 19, and then he passed the exam until he was 46 years old. It's not that he didn't pass the test, but he didn't bother to serve Yuan Ting as an official. However, he had to test his fame as he was in the world and had to test his fame. Brother Fenglin was also very depressed."

"He is now over half a hundred years old. He refuses to accept the Yuan Ting, but has been a citizen of the Yuan Ting for most of his life. He has a strategy in mind, but he has no master. It is a pity that he is a talent."

Li Xi obviously knows more about Zhu Sheng. At this time, this old man represents the mentality of many Confucian scholars.

They were contradictory to the Yuan Dynasty, and even more contradictory to the insurgents.

They are even more uncertain about how to choose.

Zhang Ximeng silently listened to the introduction of the two old men, listening patiently on the surface, but in fact he was already excited.

Zhu Sheng!

Mention this person, you can't avoid the nine-character mantra: build walls high, accumulate food, and slowly become king!

It is no exaggeration to say that it was Zhu Sheng who broke the key to Zhu Yuanzhang's seizure of the country.

In fact, Zhang Ximeng and Lao Zhu talked about the content and planning policies, and they did not miss these nine words.

Zhu Sheng, this old man, is definitely worth winning.

In history, Zhu Yuanzhang paid a considerable price in order to get this old man... First, Zhu Sheng helped Zhu Yuanzhang and persuaded the defenders of Huizhou to surrender, so as to avoid being overwhelmed.

However, Zhu Sheng did not immediately belong to Zhu Yuanzhang, but returned to She County. Then Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Wuyuan and encountered trouble again, so he thought of Zhu Sheng again.

This time he personally visited the house, Zhu Sheng had a great time, the others left, and only left Zhu Yuanzhang with a kit. As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang followed the kit and laid down Wuyuan.

This time Lao Zhu is anxious, this person must get it.

He disguised himself as a caravan, raided Zhu Sheng, blocked the old man at home, and asked him how to calm the world.

Zhu Sheng uttered nine words, and was immediately invited out of the mountain by old Zhu to assist Zhu Yuanzhang...

Seeing this story, is it familiar... Zhuge Liang only wrote about the Three Guchens in the Caolu, and the history book only wrote about Fan Sanxiang.

Among the Three Kingdoms, where did the classic Three-Guard Cottage come from?

It is about imitating Zhu Yuanzhang's experience of visiting Zhu Sheng... It just so happens that these two stories both give a strategy for calming the world. It's just that the time when everyone knows, the middle way collapsed and was unsuccessful.

This time it is unknown, it created a magnificent Ming Dynasty.

So the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is good or bad, but it really confuses a lot of history.

How to get the old man out?

Zhang Ximeng thought about it again and again, he definitely didn't have the time to go around the thatched cottage, and he was not Zhu Yuanzhang, he might be useless if he went there.

An old Confucian like Zhu Sheng knows everything. As analyzed, he doesn't like the Great Yuan Dynasty, but he has been a member of the Great Yuan Dynasty for most of his life. If you want him to come out of the mountains and deal with the Great Yuan Dynasty, you must give him enough money. Convince yourself of reasons.

Zhu Yuanzhang impressed the old man with his sincerity. Zhang Ximeng thought about it repeatedly, but he didn't have this ability.

But after another thought, he seemed to have ideas again.

"Tao Lao, Li Lao, I can write a letter to Mr. Fenglin, about to invite him out of the mountain, I hope you can send a guide."

Tao An saw that Zhang Ximeng was quite sure, and he didn't say anything, so he called Yang Tianyang.

Zhang Ximeng called Lan Yu again.

Obviously, Sapphire has become Zhang Ximeng's special errand runner, and it is true to send the letter to the little brother.

"Sir, I can tell, Old Man Zhu is weird, how sure are you that you can get people out of the mountain and won't run in vain, right?"

Zhang Ximeng glared at him, "Run for nothing, do you dare to make terms with me? Hurry up, get out of it, it's delayed, I will ask your brother-in-law!"

Lan Yu was helpless, so he could only take Zhang Ximeng's letter, and followed Yang Tianyang to She County to visit Zhu Sheng.

A letter can transfer people, Tao An and Li Xi do not believe that.

The reason is very simple. Zhu Sheng has a fixed opinion at this age, and he is not so impulsive. Moreover, the old man has been entangled all his life and made his temper very strange. When the idle character looks down on it, you will be harder with him, he is harder than you, and you beg him, he will disdain it.

Just such an old stubborn who doesn't eat hard and doesn't eat oil and salt, how can they move his mind, these two people have no idea at all.

It can only be said that if Zhang Ximeng is done, they will fall into the ground!

However, although Zhu Sheng could not come, it would take some time, but Zhang Ximeng's actions in Tongling were really clean and tidy.

Chang Yuchun took the lead in breaking through Tongling, beheading more than 300 Yuan soldiers, and captured thousands of them. At the same time, dozens of officials under the prefects and counties of Yuan Ting were captured.

It is rare that Chang Yuchun did not want to kill, but left it to Zhang Ximeng to make a decision, and finally made progress.

Zhang Ximeng was not polite. According to the reaction of the people, he executed more than 20 heinous crimes and hung his head on the flagpole... Then Zhang Ximeng announced that according to the land outline, he began to re-divide the fields and people from all over the country could return to their hometowns and towns to wait. Soon, there will be specialized personnel to various villages to verify the land and re-divide the land.

This order continued, and immediately received a enthusiastic response. The refugees returned to their hometowns one after another, and they were beaming with joy. There are Bodhisattva soldiers who are calling for us, and we are not afraid of anymore!

Don't look at the Zhu's family being called a Bodhisattva soldier, but you must know that although there are Bodhisattvas with low eyebrows, there are also vajra glaring eyes!

After eradicating officials, Zhang Ximeng divided the powers of Tongling into three, six, nine classes based on Tao An, Li Xi, Chen Di, and visits to the common people.

Twenty-five of them have cooperated with Yuan Ting and are mainly responsible for assisting Yuan Ting with tax collection... Some people say Yuan Ting adopts a tax package system, but some people say that Yuan Ting does not have a tax package system, and that the tax package system is all laymen. , It is not worth discussing.

Just like many historical cases, it is difficult to reach a conclusion, but the Yuan Shi did clearly state that the Yuan court levied commercial taxes, and that the officials of the warehouses merged with the officials, etc., and ordered the lawsuits to choose people with assets and deeds to fill them. . If you have a property, you have an expert, don't you have a certain industry and good character. To put it bluntly, isn't it still a strong local?

Let them help to collect taxes, whether it is considered a tax package system or not, it depends on how it is defined.

Anyway, here Zhang Ximeng helped Yuan Ting collect taxes. Naturally, it was counted as a tycoon to be eradicated. As for whether to decapitate or not, it depends on their usual behavior. If there is not too much bad comment, they may escape the catastrophe. However, it was found that there was a crime, and there was definitely no way to survive.

Zhang Ximeng gave Tongling County a new look in just two days.

The homeless refugees returned to the village, and the mess was cleared.

The entire county town has been completely renewed.

At this moment, an old man, accompanied by two young men, panting, rushed to Tongling County.

The person here is Zhu Sheng!

This old man is really here!

When they saw Zhu Sheng, Tao An and Li Xi were stupid, "Brother Fenglin, you, why are you here?"

Zhu Sheng didn't even look at them, so he could only grunt, "What a good thing you did!"

Then the old man walked inside, entered the second hall, and saw Zhang Ximeng in front of him.

"You are always Mr. Fenglin, please sit down!"

Zhu Sheng rolled his old eyes and reluctantly sat down, but he didn't even drink tea. He just took out the letter and pressed it under his palm.

"Who wrote this?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled unabatedly, "Mr. Fenglin, if the late student said that this was written by me, would you believe it?"

Zhu Sheng looked at Zhang Ximeng seriously, a little entangled. To be honest, he didn't think a young man could write these sixteen characters, but these sixteen characters were indeed true and hit his heart.

Thinking of this, Zhu Sheng couldn't help but ease his tone, "The old man is a man of dead wood and dead ashes, with no intentions of vulgarity, but these sixteen words are really not trivial, the old man cannot be indifferent~www.mtlnovel.com~ I want to ask, what is this? Whose hand did it come from? Is it written for fun, or is it something else?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "Mr. Fenglin, this is indeed what I wrote, but it is also the voice of my father-in-law. I can assure Mr. Fenglin that my father-in-law must follow these sixteen characters and advance steadily, so as to finally achieve the goal! Nothing! Anyone, anything, can stop my Patriarch!"

Zhu Sheng couldn't help but startled when he heard this. The old man thought for a long time, and finally sighed and looked up, "As it is, the old man should be a dog and horse, and do his best!"

Zhang Ximeng Yixi, "Mr. Fenglin, now we want to capture the equanimity and solve the danger of the state, is there a smart strategy?"

Zhu Sheng said: "Strike against Taiping, the chance of winning is not great. The old man can go to Chizhou, recruit soldiers and horses there, and then send out a letter for help from Chizhou, mobilize the Taiping Yuan army to rescue, and then kill halfway, the chance of winning is greatly increased!"

When Zhang Ximeng heard it, his eyes brightened. This old man has been a schoolmaster in Chizhou for many years, and he has deep roots and will never talk nonsense.

It really makes a lot of money to recruit this old man.

At this moment, Zhu Sheng slowly raised his hand and pressed a letter under his palm. There were only sixteen characters on it, and it read: expel Hulu, restore China, divide the land equally, and relieve the people!
