First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 289

The big ship chopped the waves, from north to south, straight into Jiangyin.

Standing at the dock, Wang Bi kept rubbing his eyes, for fear that what he saw was a mirage?

If you weren't in a dream, how could you see this scene?

Chang Yuchun went there alone in a small boat. When he came back, more than 100 giant ships and more than 10,000 sailors came overwhelmingly. How much credit is this?

Wang Bi didn't even dare to think, this Chang Yuchun is really a genius!

"Blow it louder for me, welcome the commander to return in triumph!"

There is no need for Wang Bi to say more. There are songs and dances on the pier, dragons and tigers leap, and the sound of drum music is earth-shattering. . . Even attracted many people who were watching the lively scene, they were all shocked by this scene, and they cheered together, and the sound shook the sky.

Chang Yuchun stood on the bow of the boat, and his old face was flushed red. In this situation, he was ten times more ferocious than the strongest wine. The feeling of being dizzy and slightly drunk is really wonderful!

"Wang Bi, I'm back!"

Chang Yuchun got off the boat, set foot on land, and shouted excitedly!

"General Shenwei! Returning in triumph!"

The soldiers on the pier shouted loudly, and the atmosphere reached a boiling point.

Wang Bi rushed over, tapped the ground on one knee, and greeted Chang Yuchun with the most formal etiquette.

"The commander has made a great contribution to the world, taking Jiangyin and collecting the navy, and he will surely be famous all over the world, and it will be known to all over the world!"

Chang Yuchun's eyes widened, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, pulling Wang Bi up too.

"You, the credit this time is not small. You are the first to break Jiangyin. This time I go to persuade surrender, and you are at home again, so that I can feel at ease. Such a big credit..." Chang Yuchun suddenly lowered his voice, "That gives It's up to you to write the superior battle report! I don't care how much you want to share, I'm begging you!"

Wang Bi was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The dignified general was so overwhelmed by the battle summary that he was speechless.

This time, Chang Yuchun persuaded a fleet to surrender by himself. In terms of difficulty, it was much more difficult than Wu Datou's single-riding arrest. After all, Wu Datou was just taking advantage of the situation to arrest people, and Chang Yuchun turned back an entire fleet this time.

To be honest, he didn't know how the superior would reward him... All in all, this time Chang Yuchun had his head on the sky and his chin on the ground. Between the sky and the earth, he was the only one left with a big face.

"Commander, I wrote this summary, but I will definitely report it truthfully. As you know, we don't like to lie about the military situation in our army. Whoever deserves the credit is who. You have made a great contribution this time!"

Wang Bi was an honest person. Sure enough, after he understood the story in the original, he immediately wrote a battle report and sent people to Huzhou to give it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood. The battle against Zhang Shicheng was progressing rapidly. After Xu Da went south from Huzhou, he had already swept the periphery of Hangzhou and just won Yuhang.

A situation of encirclement has gradually formed, Hangzhou has matured 80%, and it is not far from getting it.

Hu Dahai also won Wuxi, and he fought very well in this battle... In the siege, Hu Dahai gave full play to the power of gunpowder.

Hu Dahai let his son Hu Guan live in the Tong Territory Camp, specializing in civil excavation, digging tunnels, and using old Beijing methods to break down the city.

When the tunnel was almost dug, gunpowder was put in, and then there was a violent explosion, opening a hole in the city of Wuxi... Hu Dahai carried a sharp axe, led his subordinates, rushed in in one breath, and went to the next city!

Without Chang Yuchun's extraordinary performance, Hu Dahai would definitely be the brightest star in this battle.

However, Chang Yuchun's victory was too awesome.

A Jiangyin, a sailor, don't know which one bought and which one gave?

Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang was reading the battle report, his hands trembled a little.

"Sir, sir... Chang Yuchun is good at fighting and strategy. He has both wisdom and courage, and it is really good!"

Among the generals, Chang Yuchun is one of the few that can get Old Zhu to praise him again and again.

"Sir, how do you think we should reward Chang Yuchun?"

Zhang Ximeng knew what he knew, so he smiled and said: "My lord, we really need to adjust the military system again, we must give the generals a higher position and command more troops... But I don't recommend giving Chang Yuchun an immediate reward, after all, there are still Xu Da, no matter how great Chang Yuchun's contribution is, it is only tactical, only by winning Hangzhou can it affect the overall situation!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, then took the initiative to smile and said: "We are really happy and confused, it is true that Hangzhou is more important... It's just that Chang Yuchun has brought so many big ships this time, changing the weak situation of the navy, allowing us to have a place in the Yangtze River. No matter how you say it, this is a big credit for the rampant capital, let's record it."

Lao Zhu's words have always been counted. Obviously, after the war, Chang Yuchun will definitely stand out among the generals and will reach an unprecedented height.

Lao Zhu thought for a while, then suddenly said again: "Sir, you said that the navy who conquered the barbarian Hague would be of no use to the battle situation in Hangzhou?"

Zhang Ximeng nodded subconsciously, "How can it be useless, our army's morale has been boosted, Zhang Shicheng has been frightened, and..."

"What else?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

Zhang Ximeng frowned, thinking hard, and hesitantly said, "Master, you, you don't want to attack Hangzhou from the sea, do you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid it won't work, but we want to cut off the north and the south, leaving Zhang Shicheng in a situation of helplessness!"

Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but let out a long breath. Fortunately, Lao Zhu didn't lose his mind.

The barbarian Hague navy is well equipped, and even large ships can be used at sea.

But their morale is low, the organization is chaotic, and all kinds of characters are mixed together, and it is really difficult to exert their due combat effectiveness.

Moreover, the coastal towns are still in Zhang Shicheng's hands. If they go to sea forcibly, they will not get supplies.

Then there is Fang Guozhen!

Even if they got this navy, in the fleet, the Zhu family's army is far behind, Fang Guozhen, who started at sea.

Breaking into the sea too early, if Fang Guozhen was stimulated and asked to cooperate with Zhang Shicheng, the situation would be bad. Zhang Ximeng still hopes to focus on beating Zhang Shicheng, beat this guy, and then deal with the next target, otherwise there will be too many enemies and it will easily capsize.

"My lord, if it is limited to fighting on the Yangtze River, I think it is completely fine. But from what Wang Bi said, this navy has the foundation of the Yuan-ting Yangtze River navy, and it was mixed with sand by Zhang Shicheng. Now it has just experienced the chaos and killed many people. Commander general. I am afraid that the army will be disillusioned and unable to fight again. It must take some time to rectify."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was indifferent. He had understood Zhang Ximeng's thinking. There was nothing wrong with these ideas, but it was a pity that Zhang Ximeng did not really understand Zhu Yuanzhang's intention. He was much more talented than Zhang Ximeng.

"Sir, Zhang Shicheng is just an old dog who guards the family. Now he may send troops to Hangzhou to cause trouble for us... But if our navy walks around the Yangtze River, let the soldiers and horses in Changshu, Jiading, Kunshan and other places, Seeing our flag, revealing a posture of threatening Suzhou, we dare to say that Zhang Shicheng must be frightened and dare not send troops. We want to lock Zhang Shicheng in Suzhou City!"

Now that the words are clear, Zhang Ximeng pondered over and over again, and couldn't help but praise it, my lord!

Lao Zhu didn't really want to fight, it was just a demonstration.

As a result, the difficulty of combat plummeted.

But it is still very difficult, very difficult, to let a group of sailors who have just surrendered to carry out the deterrence of the old master. The human heart is really too mysterious.

Even if he was coerced into taking refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang, who knows if there is any support for Zhang Shicheng?

"My lord, we need something that quickly calms our hearts!"

Lao Zhu nodded with a smile, "That's right, what do you think sir?"

"Field!"

The two rulers and ministers spoke in unison very tacitly, and then laughed.

The situation is indeed getting better and better. It's really not far from becoming king. Maybe it won't be long before we can consider the issue of becoming king.

With the great responsibility from heaven, Zhu Yuanzhang intuitively felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

"Listen, big guy, good news, great news!"

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly in the sailor camp at Jiangyin Wharf, alarming everyone.

"What's the matter? You picked up gold? Is it worth being so happy?"

Many sailors couldn't help but complain.

They have been here for several days. General Zhu's treatment is really good. There is a sufficient supply of rice, noodles and vegetables, and some meat and eggs. Many people have gained weight.

However, the management of the Zhu Family Army is also very strict. They are strictly forbidden to leave the camp, and they are not allowed to gamble, and they are not allowed to sneak out to visit the brothel.

A few sailors wanted a girl, but they were reprimanded by the soldiers of the Zhu family and asked them to reflect in public. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

All in all, there are two ways of governing the army, two-dimensional soldiers and horses, when they meet, it is impossible not to conflict.

Sure enough, some people also had the same idea. They felt that the Zhu family was not free, could not do whatever they wanted, and were not allowed to do anything, as if they were locked in a cage, and good people became criminals. What is the difference between this and a prison!

Everyone didn't have much expectation for the so-called good news. It was nothing more than two big fat pigs, or three sheep, and a few baskets of eggs. Apart from eating well, there was nothing else!

But to be honest, it is precisely because of eating well that there are no deserters. No matter how much thought you have, as long as you think about your next meal, your life will have color.

"This time it's not about the next meal, it's about the rest of my life... No, it's about several lifetimes!"

The soldier who delivered the letter took out a red notice from his arms and held it high at the crowd.

"The superior has already ordered to select land along the river from Zhenjiang to Jiangyin, and grant them to navy soldiers. Each person can get about 30 acres of land, twice that of the local households! The first batch of land deeds will be delivered soon."

"what?"

Someone didn't seem to understand, "Here, give us fields?"

"So fast?"

Many people can't believe it.

"That's right, the superior also said that the soldiers and soldiers worked hard and asked to help the big guy settle down as soon as possible, so that we could marry a wife!"

The soldier who conveyed the order grinned, laughed ridiculously, and then cried... Looking at the others, after a brief period of astonishment, he even roared wildly.

"Long live the superior!"

"Long live the superior!"
