First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 238

Popular recommendation:

Chen Youliang was in a hurry and left Hongdu, but he did not intend to give this strategic location to Zhu Yuanzhang. He arranged for a cronie named Hu Tingrui.

In addition, several assistants were arranged, including Kang Tai, Zhu Zong, and Zheng Renjie, all civil and military, and nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard Hongdu.

Only children do multiple-choice questions, and adults need them all. Chen Youliang feels that as long as there are no accidents, he can quickly solve Ni Wenjun's matter.

And as long as Hu Tingrui sticks to Hongdu for a month and waits for the return of his king, he can still severely damage Zhu Yuanzhang!

Hu Tingrui also faithfully implemented Chen Youliang's orders.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to shoot arrow books into the city and demanded that Hu Tingrui surrender, but what he got was just abuse!

Old Zhu is angry!

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhu, Chen Youliang doesn't take us too seriously! We want to take Hongdu, and we want Chen Youliang's head too!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, what should we do about this?

Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Sheng looked at each other, although they didn't know about Ni Wenjun, but they could guess one or two things, Zhu Sheng said: "Superior, the sky is done with drastic measures and the siege of the city seems to be hearty, but in fact there are many internal hidden dangers. , If there is no mistake, something must have happened to them. Chen Youliang went back and solved it. Otherwise, Chen Youliang would be scared away, and the defenders in the city would also collapse, and they would definitely not be so hard-hearted."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, agreeing with Zhu Sheng's judgment, but said, "According to this, Chen Youliang has not given up on Hongdu?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "My lord, Hongdu is so important, how could Chen Youliang give up!"

Lao Zhu pondered and said after a long time, "In that case, should we take down Hongdu as soon as possible and give Chen Youliang a slap in the face, or should we wait for a fighter jet?"

Zhu Sheng and Zhang Ximeng looked at it, and they chose the latter in a tacit understanding.

It goes without saying that they have high morale and are very capable of fighting. .

The relative combat experience of Zhu's army is not as good as that of Tianwan, but the victory lies in strict training, clear military discipline, and sufficient logistical supplies.

Two fierce tigers fight, it is hard to say who wins and who loses.

War is just like that, never fully sure, any accident will happen, wouldn't one of the great powers also defeat Africa and pay huge sums of money?

At this moment, when they attacked Hongdu by force, with the strong city, they might be able to defeat the Zhu family's army.

Therefore, for Zhu Jiajun, the safest way is to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses, keep accumulating the odds of winning, and launch the most severe offensive at the most suitable time.

"My lord, let me say, let's lock the city!"

"Lock the city?"

"Yes! Just to surround Hongdu, let's build a fortification outside, trap the city and leave them isolated. It is just enough to deplete the morale of the city's grain and grass and weaken the morale of the defenders. If Chen Youliang unites his troops to rescue, we will Come to a circle to help!"

After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, Zhu Sheng immediately said: "Up, I agree with what Zhang Xiang said. If you want to win Tianwan, you can't be motivated, but you must make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses. We marched all the way, and the supplies were sufficient, and the food was piled up like a mountain. The summer crops are harvested. After that, all the places have stepped up to prepare the land and plant rice. As long as autumn comes, there will be more harvests, we have no shortage of food, and our morale is strong.

After a pause, Zhu Sheng said again: "I talked to the little girl who was driving the car, and she said that many women in the village are now working in the fields. In the past, those who were only at home and did not go outside the door were also When they go to work in the farmland. They say this is their own field and let the men farm it, they are not at ease!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud, "How could this happen? Can a woman afford it?"

Before Zhu Sheng could speak, Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "My lord, it seems that you and your wife have planted rice together!"

When he mentioned this, Lao Zhu was immediately speechless.

I'm ashamed to say, the couple planted rice in the paddy field, and he really couldn't compare to the Ma Shi, even if he tried his best, no one was faster.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is not without merit.

Use the ox plow to turn the ground, and when you reach the ground, you need to turn the direction.

This is very troublesome. The ox plough will be covered with dirt and be very heavy, and to drive the animals, you need to carry the plough in one hand and swing the whip in the other.

Almost 90% of women are unable to do this job.

In other words, as long as someone helps to turn the ground, the rest of the women can do it.

Of course, there is another situation, that is, there is no livestock, and manpower is needed to drag the plough.

This is to mention the Juntian of Zhu Jiajun.

In fact, it has been made clear earlier that in addition to equalizing the land, there is also a fight against the tyrannical. In addition to dividing the land, it is necessary to collect floating wealth, especially livestock, cattle and horses, and even take it out and distribute it to the common people.

With farm tools and cattle, the common people can cultivate the fields smoothly, otherwise it will not be a real even field.

In fact, in order to help the people cultivate, Zhu Jiajun did much more than that.

For example, during the busy farming season, the army's pack horses and livestock can be borrowed... Since crossing the river, so many soldiers have been captured, and they will also be sent to work in the fields.

In addition, veterinarians are recruited from all over the country to help take care of the livestock to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Also Xian Timur is one of them. Every day, he has to go from one village to another village.

Zhu Jiajun dare not say that everything has been perfected. In fact, the gap in livestock is still very large, even if it is several times more, it cannot be filled. But again, the good and the bad are all compared.

With the current farming conditions of the Zhu Family Army, it is definitely ten times, a hundred times stronger than any force!

Every harvest can make Zhu Jiajun stronger.

In that case, why not fight a less hearty war of attrition with Tianwan?

After Zhu Yuanzhang accepted the suggestion, he immediately called Xu Da and several people to discuss it again. In the end, Lao Zhu pressed Chang Yuchun and Hu Dahai to pass the plan of locking the city!

Hu Tingrui in Hongdu City did not wait for the Zhu Family Army to storm the city wall, but found that the Zhu Family Army was struggling to dig a trench, a trench, an earth wall, and densely packed antlers, resisting horses... This is to turn us into prisoners!

The poisonous Zhu Yuanzhang!

Hu Tingrui was given the task of defending Hongdu, but now he can't get it, what should I do?

Hu Tingrui couldn't make up his mind, so he could only watch the Zhu family's army build a huge cage and lock them up.

On the other side, Chen Youliang hurriedly returned to Hanyang.

On the way, Chen Youliang also met Zhang Dingbian.

At this moment, the fierce man who made Chang Yuchun shriveled, alone and with great momentum, went straight to Hanyang, and happened to meet Chen Youliang.

"I heard that the generals actually colluded with Yuan Ting and wanted to surrender. What is this?" Zhang Ding cut the matter straight to the point.

"I'm going to see the general and make it clear to him... Marshal Chen, what do you think?"

Chen Youliang was well aware of Zhang Dingbian's temper, so he naturally sighed: "I don't know what the general thinks...General Zhang, you and your brothers feel that you can't lower your yuan?"

Zhang Dingbian raised his brows, and said angrily: "Of course not! Not to mention that Peng Zushi died in the hands of Yuan Tartars, we both have deep feuds! Just talking about the Zhu Family Army, they are always shouting to expel the Hu prisoners. , restore China... Are we going to be the traitors of the Tartars?"

When Chen Youliang heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, "General Zhang, do you know Zhu Jiajun very well?"

Zhang Dingbian said in a deep voice: "I can't talk about understanding, that is, when I did a detailed investigation of the military situation, they sent some of their decrees... I can't understand things that are too profound, I just think they are very reasonable!"

"Reasonable?" Chen Youliang was puzzled.

"Yes, the kind that makes things clear and convinces you."

Chen Youliang frowned. This statement is really new. Zhang Dingbian defeated Zhu Jiajun. Instead of looking down on Zhu Jiajun, he expressed admiration. This Zhu Jiajun is really something.

However, Chen Youliang also thought about it flawlessly.

The appearance of Zhang Dingbian made Chen Youliang firm in his judgment.

Ni Wenjun intends to use Yuan Ting Zhao'an to replace Xu Shouhui and take it to a higher level. This idea is absolutely unfeasible. In the country, there are too many Peng Party forces, even Zhang Dingbian, a non-Peng Party member, hates Yuan Ting to the core.

Ni Wenjun was completely imaginative, seeking his own death.

Chen Youliang thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "General Zhang, I can guess the general's plan. Didn't he capture the family of King Weishun? If we can kill all these people, we will cut off the general and Yuan. Ting's contact, even if he wants to Zhao'an, it is absolutely impossible."

Zhang Ding was stunned, "Marshal Chen~www.mtlnovel.com~ You mean we're going to kill Kuan Chepuhua's family?"

"Yes!" Chen Youliang agreed.

"Then, do you want to tell the general first?"

"No!" Chen Youliang shook his head.

"Then, isn't that cut first and then play?"

Chen Youliang took a breath and said, "You know the general's temper. What he has identified will not change easily, and we won't be able to persuade us. But we can't watch the generals return to the Yuan court and cause chaos in the country. Clean up. Let's start first, eradicate the calamity, break the general's thoughts, and then I will go to the general to apologize, he will kill me if he wants to kill me! If I can use Chen Youliang to save a bad life and save the overall situation, I will die without regrets!"

When Zhang Dingbian heard this, he was actually quite moved, such a good Chen Youliang!

"Marshal Chen, you don't have to worry, above the general, there is the prime minister, and your majesty, and down there, there are people like us, we will definitely not let the general against you!"

With these words, a faint smile appeared on Chen Youliang's face.

It's time to act!

Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian easily found the family members of Weishun Wang Kuanche Puhua, including two sons, a total of more than 40 people.

Zhang Dingbian rushed in, raised the knife in his hand, cut off the heads of his two sons, and then chopped off several adult women. Zhang Dingbian put away the knife and came out with the heads.

Who knew that Chen Youliang gave his subordinates a wink, these people rushed in directly, and could not help but say that all the old and young women and children were not left behind, and even the three-year-old child was killed.

Zhang Dingbian frowned suddenly, but Chen Youliang said without any scruples: "Cut the grass and remove the roots. Otherwise, it is impossible to strengthen the general's heart. Let's go, let's go to see the general!"

Chen Youliang pulled Zhang Dingbian, who had an ugly face, to see Ni Wenjun...
