First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 195

Fang Guan really did not expect that things would go so smoothly. Zhu Yuanzhang was so amiable that he was simply a good uncle at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. His father Fang Guozhen, as a veteran leader of the rebel army, has a really worrying character.

Fang Guozhen's uprising was very early, two or three years earlier than Liu Futong, but no one regarded Fang Guozhen's uprising as the beginning of the Red Turban Army.

This guy was accused of being a bandit, and he had to raise an army. Yuan Ting sent someone to conquer it. He won the battle and captured the opponent. It stands to reason that the victory is won, which is a good thing.

But then this one did something Song Jiang did. He released the captive Yuan general and wanted to make the Yuan court an official.

Seeing this, do you think that Fang Guozhen was possessed by the rain in time, and that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty called Baoyi? Yes!

I'm sorry, he was not as stupid as Song Jiang, so he immediately captured Wenzhou Mansion.

After Yuan Ting was outraged, he sent troops again, but was defeated by Fang Guozhen again, and then staged the scene of recruiting surrender.

After surrendering to the Yuan Ting, Fang Guozhen saw that the opportunity was wrong, and trapped Yuan Ting's guard in Taizhou.

At this point, what do you still think? Fight with Yuan Ting!

No, if we fight, the name of the master of repeated horizontal jumping will not be called in vain. He even spent huge sums of money to bribe high officials in the Yuan court and find him a position.

But Fang Guozhen actually disliked the officials again, and he took Taizhou by himself.

Yuan Ting was also made to lose his temper by Fang Guozhen. He didn't know how many times he surrendered and rebelled again.

It stands to reason that Yuan Ting already hated Fang Guozhen and wanted to burn him to ashes.

However, at this time, Yuan Ting had already suffered a disastrous defeat in Gaoyou, and several giant bandits were unable to deal with it, so little thieves like Fang Guozhen were irrelevant.

And Yuan Ting still pinched his nose and gave Fang Guozhen the official position of transporting ten thousand households.

I don't know if it was because they fell in love with each other, or if Fang Guozhen had changed sex, and Fang Guozhen, who had repeatedly danced countless times, actually wanted to be a loyal minister of the Yuan court, and was ready to attack Zhang Shicheng, who had already crossed the river.

Actually, just look at the map. Fang Guozhen occupies a line along the coast of Zhejiang. If he wants to develop, the best choice is Pingjiang Mansion.

It's the same goal as Zhang Shicheng!

Fang Guozhen was going to fight Zhang Shicheng, but at this time Zhu Yuanzhang rose rapidly, and he went south from Jinling to seize the prefecture in eastern Zhejiang, with a great momentum.

Fang Guozhen was really afraid that Lao Zhu would swallow him in one breath.

Only then did he send his son Fang Guan over to complain to Lao Zhu, trying to take the opportunity to test Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude.

Ling Fang Guozhen did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would easily agree to form an alliance, and he was also willing to provide food. This is too good to talk about!

With Zhu Yuanzhang's help, at least in the face of Zhang Shicheng, the confidence is enough.

Fang Guozhen was overjoyed, he rubbed his hands happily.

"Looks like Zhu Yuanzhang is also a thief! He came from Huaixi, so naturally he doesn't know the benefits of the sea, so he just gave me a chance to show off my skills!"

Fang Guozhen thought for a while and then said, "My son, what do you think of Zhu Yuanzhang's clothes?"

Fang Guan thought about it for a while, "It's very common, it's just the dress in the army. There is a young adviser beside him, who seems to be Zhu Yuanzhang's confidant. He even wears common clothes, not even silk."

Fang Guozhen smiled, "Okay, since that's the case, let's open his eyes to him... You choose some fine silks, by the way, then bring the golden and jade saddle that is your father, and give it to Zhu Yuanzhang together!"

"What?" Fang Guan was startled, "Father, you took a lot of effort to grab that saddle. Didn't you say you want it to be a family heirloom? What did you give it to Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"Idiot! Do you want a saddle, or Pingjiang Mansion? When you enter Suzhou, let alone a saddle, even a golden horse or a jade horse is ready-made! Remember it for me, be sure to hand it over. Zhu Yuanzhang, with him, capturing and killing Zhang Jiu Si is no problem!"

Fang Guozhen was full of ambition, and Fang Guan could only bring gifts to visit Zhu Yuanzhang again.

The last time he saw Lao Zhu was in Xuancheng, but this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already arrived in Jinhua County.

In less than a month, the Zhu family's army successively captured Ningguo Road, Huizhou Road, Guangde Road, Jiande Road, and captured most of Wuzhou Road.

The speed and efficiency of Zhu Jiajun's advance in the army is simply staggering.

When Fang Guan came to see his dear Uncle Zhu again, he felt that this uncle was much taller and his sense of oppression was even stronger. He immediately knelt down.

"My little nephew was ordered by my father to present a gift to my uncle. Among them, 500 pieces of fine silk, 1,000 dans of tea, and a golden and jade saddle, please accept it with a smile!"

Speaking of which, Fang Guan asked people to bring gifts. The silk and tea were carefully selected by Fang Guozhen. The golden and jade saddles were even more precious. However, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't show much when he saw it.

He just said lightly: "Your Majesty has a heart, we don't have anything good, we only have a sword with you, let's give it to your father!"

Lao Zhu took off his sword and handed it to Fang Guan.

Fang Guan took it in his hand, looked at it, there was no jewelry, he was indeed a poor ghost! But he didn't dare to underestimate it, after all, Zhu Jiajun's reputation was here.

Fang Guan thought about it and said, "Uncle, my little nephew has a request. I hope my uncle will agree."

"Come on, we will agree to anything we can."

"It's like this, my father has an enemy family, and he has disappeared recently. I heard that his wife and children are at home. My father is going to send someone over to raid his home and arrest his family to take revenge... just for fear of my uncle. I will lead the troops over, and ask my uncle's permission."

Lao Zhu was puzzled, "Whose family is your father arresting?"

"Of course it's the old man Liu Ji!"

"Liu Ji?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "We heard that this person is quite literary!"

"Yes! It's this old man!" Fang Xin gritted his teeth, "Uncle, you don't know, he is the official of the Yuan court in Zhejiang Province. This old man has a bad heart. He keeps saying that my father is capricious. The culprit advocates killing my father! You say, can this revenge not be avenged?"

In Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, there was a flash of strangeness, and he immediately said to the other party: "Liu Ji's hometown is in Qingtian, which is in the territory of Chuzhou, not your father's territory!"

"That's right! It's true that Chuzhou is not under my father's rule. Now that my uncle has arrived, I dare not tell my uncle and ask for his permission."

Fang Guan kept looking at Lao Zhu, observing his words and expressions.

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, then smiled, "Your father and we are allies, and Chuzhou is not under our rule. Even if you send troops to take Chuzhou, we have nothing to say, let alone arrest people, let alone arrest people. What can I say... But where did Liu Ji go? Do you know? Dealing with orphans and widows doesn't seem like a gentleman's act?"

Fang Guan sneered and said, "Uncle is really kind and kind, and the old man Liu Ji is courting death himself, no one can blame others. He really doesn't know where he is now. According to his subordinates, the old man may have sneaked into Beijing and wanted to give Yuan Ting Shang letter. Uncle, this man is loyal to Yuan Ting, he is a die-hard old thief, not killing is not enough for the common people to be angry! Not only to kill, but also to annihilate the nine clans! It's better not to keep one!”

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, and finally didn't say anything more... "Go down and rest, look around, and when I get a chance, I'd like to meet with your father and make wine with green plums, let's talk about heroes!"

With a few words, Lao Zhu sent Fang Guan away.

When he turned around, he called Zhang Ximeng over.

"How was Liu Bowen in the POW camp?" Lao Zhu asked curiously.

"Not bad." Zhang Ximeng didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, but said truthfully: "He should be a little awkward and unwilling to cooperate with us completely. But according to my observation, it should be the sour temperament of the literati, and he is used to being arrogant. I don't want to bow my head. This person is not bad in nature. These days, Timur has taken ten times the workload of the roster and atlas... He is verifying the assignment of fields in Xuancheng, but Timur's skills are also limited. Don't ask, someone must help him, and the person who helped him is probably Liu Bowen."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang let out a sigh of relief, raised his head and looked at it for a long time, he smiled helplessly, "Sir, you say that according to the truth, a person who still has great Yuan in his heart will die, we shouldn't care. But if it is a disaster And wives and children, or innocent children and women, do you think we can remain indifferent?"

Zhang Ximeng asked in shock, "Is your lord talking about the Liu family?"

"Yeah!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Liu Ji has been gone for a long time, his men have been scattered, and some people have gone to Fang Guozhen's side... But in the past, Liu Ji advocated severe punishment of the first offender and wanted to kill Fang Guozhen. Now the Fang family wants to take the Liu family. Get out, we have let Fang Guan stay for a few days, so we can delay it for a while. The lives of Liu Bowen's wife and children are in our hands!"

Zhang Ximeng was really frightened. He never expected that the storm he brought was really getting bigger and bigger. He took Liu Bowen ahead of schedule, which actually caused the danger of Lao Liu's family being destroyed.

"My lord, life and death, thunder, rain, and dew are all from above. If UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com can use Fang Guozhen's hand to kill Liu Bowen's wife and children, and force Liu Bowen to serve the lord, it seems not bad!"

After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking in a low voice, he found that Lao Zhu's face was tangled. According to reason, Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed the most ruthless lackey of the Yuan court, but Liu Bowen was the kind of stubborn one.

If you surrendered earlier, why would we care about your family?

First, the family members of Timur and others were taken over by Zhu Yuanzhang.

We Lao Zhu are not unreasonable people, but you Liu Bowen are too ignorant!

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled helplessly, "Sir, send someone to bring Liu Bowen over with a quick horse! Let him handle his family's affairs by himself!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again, "What a child!"

Zhang Ximeng suddenly showed a smile, and sure enough, Lao Zhu's heart was still warm.

The next thing to watch is Liu Bowen!

In order to pick up Liu Bowen, Zhang Ximeng asked Guo Ying to do it himself. It only took a day and a half for Liu Bowen to come from Xuancheng and go directly to Lao Zhu's barracks.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't see him, he just asked Zhang Ximeng to deal with it.

Zhang Ximeng told the story again, "My lord asked you to go home first and save your wife and children. As for where to go, you can decide!"

When Liu Bowen heard that Fang Guozhen wanted to attack his wife and children, his eyes were split open.

He is old enough to have children, one is eight years old and the other is six years old this year!

Fang Guozhen, this thief, is actually able to get his hands on it!

Liu Bowen was stunned for a while, then suddenly fell to his knees, kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang's handsome tent, got up again, and went straight to his hometown...
