First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 340

Zhu Yuanzhang decided on a decisive battle... At the same time, he counted his troops and horses. The soldiers he brought from Jinling, plus the former troops of Ding Pulang and Fu Youde, numbered almost 100,000, and there were also 15,000 sailors.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's current lineup.

If the army fought decisively, Zhu Yuanzhang could mobilize 100,000 people to fight, and if the time was shortened to one month, 50,000 people could be added.

In other words, Zhu Yuanzhang's limit was 250,000 people.

If this number is exceeded, it is necessary to deploy troops and horses to guard against Zhang Shicheng, and to concentrate soldiers scattered in the area to reduce the control over the area.

All in all, endless troubles.

There is a very helpless thing here. Because Chen Youliang is unscrupulous, he doesn't need to care about the life and death of the people under his control, but can quickly concentrate the army in a short period of time and make a desperate fight.

On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang, because he always put the people in the first place and paid attention to cherishing the strength of the people, was so restrained in the matter of exploding troops that he could not let go of his reckless actions.

And at this critical juncture of the life-and-death contest between the two major groups, the great confidence that military superiority can bring will even affect the final outcome.

Probably because I believed that the advantage was in me, so in the end I really won a big victory.

Therefore, what Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang discussed was to disperse Chen Youliang's strength and strive for a strategic advantage.

Whether it is Ming Yuzhen or Miao Bing of Wuxi, this is the idea, including sending a white hat, it is also to disrupt Chen Youliang's rhythm...

And just after they finished their discussion, a secret letter was sent to Zhang Ximeng, and the person who sent the letter was Liu Bowen.

Zhang Ximeng simply read the contents of the letter and couldn't wait to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

"My lord, Ming Yuzhen really started."

Old Zhu Yixi, "What do you say?"

"He sent troops to block the Kuimen Gate, cut off contact with Chen Youliang, and respected Xu Shouhui as the emperor who offered martial arts to Yingtian Qiyun, built a temple, and worshipped at the four seasons. He called himself King of Shu and threatened to avenge Xu Shouhui!"

Lao Zhu grabbed the letter, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help laughing, "Chen Youliang's troubles have come, it's unusual for Ming Yuzhen to give him this blow at this time!"

Zhang Ximeng also quite agrees... Ming Yuzhen is powerful and prestige.

Even if he only provides all support except help, it is enough to form a strong pressure, after all, he represents a province.

Now that Chen Youliang has only two provinces left, facing Zhu Yuanzhang's one province, it is not so powerful.

"Master, Liu Xueshi also mentioned that their current military strength has grown to 80,000 people, and their strength is quite good, but they lack some things, and I ask the master to give them generously."

Old Zhu originally thought it would be good to have 30,000 to 50,000 people there, but he didn't expect it to grow to 80,000, which is really amazing.

"Tell me, what do you want? Weapons, money, or food, let's find a way for them!" Lao Zhu agreed succinctly.

However, Zhang Ximeng shook his head slightly, but it was not at all.

Liu Bowen wrote a letter asking for articles about crimes, for craftsmen who print and make paper, and for literati who can teach reading and literacy!

"My lord, they said that weapons can be made by themselves, they can be seized, food can be grown by themselves, and they can be robbed from Chen Youliang's hands... Only articles and books, Mr. Teacher, they can't change them, and they can't grab them. They need it the most. Manpower, go and explain the truth clearly and mobilize the fighting spirit of the Miao people."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help being stunned. They were thousands of miles apart and at the forefront of the battle. They didn't want weapons or food, but they wanted articles and teachers... It sounds a bit absurd, but when you think about it, it's also shocking.

Weapons and food can be solved.

What they need most is the reason for raising troops to resist, the program to change the fate of the millennium... From the even distribution of land and acres, to the rejuvenation of Huaxia, and then to the sixteen-character Jieshi teaching... During this period, Zhang Ximeng has grown tremendously. The whole idea has been improved, and it has become more logical and rich in content.

Back then, when Tang He and Liu Bowen chose to travel thousands of miles to the Miao Department, they set out with ideals and blood in their hearts.

Especially Liu Bowen, with a weak body, traveled through mountains and rivers, worked tirelessly, regardless of life and death... He just wanted to make a real contribution to the restoration of China and make up for the fault of serving Yuan for half a lifetime.

The place they are going out now is very remote, and there are not many things that can be obtained from the outside world. Even Zhang Ximeng's latest article is not complete.

How can Liu Bowen endure this?

Others can be captured through war, but this one cannot.

Not only is he looking forward to it, but there are also many Miao teenagers who have begun to read and write. They also urgently need these things... Reading and reading is to understand the truth, and these articles by Zhang Xiang represent the truth.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart, and he had to admit that Mr. Zhang's help to him was too great. It was precisely because of Zhang Ximeng's existence and this whole set of propositions that he was reborn and completely separated from Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng.

Of course, even if there are good propositions and no one is willing to implement them, that is not acceptable.

It can even be said that only the propositions that are implemented are meaningful.

From this point of view, Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang complement each other.

I give you an ideal, you help me realize it.

With tacit understanding, seamless.

Zhu Yuanzhang resolutely agreed to Liu Bowen's request and prepared to send a group of scholars over.

The news spread, and soon someone took the initiative to respond.

Gao Qi, Zhang Yu, Xu Ben, these famous talents, are willing to take the initiative to go.

In addition, dozens of wooden boxes were prepared, which were filled with books and articles.

And in line with the idea that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish, a group of artisans in papermaking and printing have been recruited here, and along with the past, the culture has been sent to the Miao Village.

It is worth mentioning that Gao Qi and others are ready to set off to preach the scriptures.

Another young man chose a more dangerous thing, that is, go to Jiangzhou, meet Chen Youliang, and give him this white hat.

The young man was tall and shaped like a sick tiger.

It was Yao Guangxiao.

"Sure enough, you're a juvenile, but your status is still too low. If you're not afraid of death, would you be willing to go with this old man?"

Yao Guangxiao was greatly surprised, because it was Zhu Sheng who spoke!

This old man is old and highly respected, even Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang respect him very much. What is he doing to see Chen Youliang when he has nothing to do?

That guy devoured the master twice, he couldn't do anything, and if it was bad for the boss, wouldn't it be a big loss?

Seeing Yao Guangxiao's hesitation, Zhu Sheng couldn't help laughing and said, "It's just because the old man is old, it's useless. With Zhang Xiang assisting him, there won't be any mistakes. The old man just went to see Chen Youliang, take a look Is this guy worthy of being a high-ranking opponent?"

Yao Guangxiao hesitated again and again, and could only say: "Wansheng doesn't think the boss should go to see Chen Youliang, but Wansheng is not afraid."

"That's good!"

Zhu Sheng laughed and said, "If the old man is not mistaken, you will definitely be a pillar of talent after a long time, and it is not a problem for you to assist the king and the general!"

Zhu Sheng went to see Zhu Yuanzhang, and I don't know what he said, but he actually got the approval of Lao Zhu. In this way, Zhu Sheng took the gift and under the protection of Yao Guangxiao, left Tongling, took a boat, and went straight to Ben Jiangzhou.

Zhu Sheng met Chen Youliang very smoothly.

This is not unusual, after all, Zhu Sheng represents an opponent who is evenly matched with Chen Youliang.

In the face of absolute strength, playing arrogant and arrogant is worthless.

"The solitary king of Han, the king of the Han people... In comparison, Zhu Yuanzhang only dared to call the king of Wu, is it too timid?" Chen Youliang asked with a smile.

Zhu Sheng smiled indifferently, "His Royal Highness the King of Han, you made the country's name Han, which is indeed a brave move... The people of the Central Plains consider themselves Han people. For four hundred years, the Han world has left too many things for future generations. Wei Qinghuo went ill, and the North Attack the Huns, swept the desert, seal the wolf to live in Xu, Le Shi Yanran... The two Hans were prosperous in martial arts, the mountains stood up, and the five bodies were thrown to the ground. If a strong man was committed in the Ming Dynasty, even if he was far away, he would be executed. "

Zhu Sheng looked at Chen Youliang and said with a smile, "The King of Han uses this as his name. He must also have the intention of competing with the Han Dynasty?"

Chen Youliang was stunned for a moment. He set the country's name as Han, and he didn't think so much about it. This old man can speak quite well. Chen Youliang suddenly laughed and said, "As expected of Mr. Fenglin, I have heard of your name long ago."

Zhu Sheng smiled indifferently, "Thank you for the praise from the King of Han. The old man still has some doubts. Since His Royal Highness is called the Great Han, what can be done to restore the rivers and mountains of the Han family?"

Chen Youliang couldn't help but be surprised.

Zhu Sheng continued: "The big Han has the domineering arrogance that he will be killed even if he is far away. Now that the Central Plains have been occupied for a hundred years, the Sheji has been reduced to a ruin, and the common people are suffering from charcoal! , to help the common people?"

Zhu Sheng stared at Chen Youliang with staring eyes, and said unhurriedly: "My King Wu has put forward a plan to expel the Hu prisoners and restore China. He has also formed an alliance with Liu Futong. When the time is right, he will inevitably expedition to the north and expel Ni Yuan. The superior is timid, not as good as the King of Han, then the old man has to ask ~www.mtlnovel.com~ How does the King of Han intend to surpass my family's superior?"

Chen Youliang's face instantly turned ugly. In terms of the competition pattern, because of Zhang Ximeng's existence, all the other forces combined could not keep up with Lao Zhu's toes.

Chen Youliang's name is the King of Han, thinking that he can take advantage, but he doesn't want Zhu Sheng to get caught, and he forced him into a very embarrassing place with a few words.

What are you doing?

Chen Youliang was at a loss for words, and Zhang Bixian, who was on the side, became anxious and sneered: "It's useless to say that, you can win battles with nice words, what do you need the sword in your hand? Let Zhu Yuanzhang wash his neck, we Immediately send troops to destroy Zhu Yuanzhang, and then send troops to the northern expedition to dominate the world. This emperor and the Mongols can do it, why can't we the king of Han do it?"

Zhu Sheng couldn't help laughing, he was indeed a man of ordinary people!

He simply stopped talking nonsense, and just let Yao Guangxiao take out the prepared gift.

"Here is a white hat, which is worn on the head, and the King of Han becomes the Emperor of Han... Your Highness, think for yourself. With your current actions, you may rule the world? Can you be worthy of the title of King of Han?" A faint mockery, despising Chen Youliang.
