First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 556

Feng Guoyong sent someone to **** Li Xixi and other old soldiers back to their hometown. For the past few days, he has been living in the barracks in Lagao, with no one beside him except for two guards.

It even deliberately opened the curtain so that soldiers passing by outside could see it.

This move made Hu Cavalry and pawns admire the Governor Feng, so everyone returned to their hearts, but Li Siqi was trembling, for fear of being betrayed by his subordinates and dedicated to Feng Guoyong as a gift.

There was no way, Li Siqi could only think hard to please Daming.

On the day Li Xixi and others left, Li Siqi went to Feng Guoyong's military tent alone.

"In Guanzhong, Shaanxi, in addition to the lower ones, there are Zhang Liangbi, Tuo Liebo, Kong Xing and others. They have a lot of Hu Qimen, and the Semu people are in power. I'm afraid it will not be easy to surrender."

Feng Guoyong chuckled, "If they don't want to surrender, then they will attack and kill them! Could it be that this Northern Expedition, with hundreds of thousands of troops, can still count on the soldiers not to die?"

After Feng Guoyong finished speaking, he said to Li Siqi: "Know the current affairs, know the destiny. Lead the army to surrender, the merit is eternal, I have asked your majesty for it, and I will definitely reward you at that time!"

Li Siqi's heart was beating wildly. Although Feng Guoyong was powerful, his words still counted. With his words, he would still have a place in the Ming court.

That being the case, the next step is how to get more.

Li Siqi immediately said: "Captain Feng, if you don't give up, you are willing to be the vanguard, lead your troops north, take Yan'an Mansion, attack Di Dao west, and take all the land in Guanzhong."

Feng Guoyong remained calm, but was very happy in his heart.

Don't look at the Ming army's strong combat power, but when you first enter the customs, you are not familiar with the road, and you don't understand the people's feelings.

As for Li Siqi, if he can live to this day, it shows that his ability is not bad. If he can make great efforts to develop for Daming, that would be the best.

"Brother Li has this idea, and I naturally agree. That's it, I will let Fu Youde lead 3,000 people and serve as your deputy, and you will go north together. I will command the troops and horses, and then come, let's join forces to restore Guanzhong!"

Li Siqi was slightly taken aback, Fu Youde was his former defeated general!

"Okay! I will definitely strive to be the first and serve the country!"

After Li Siqi was settled, Feng Guoyong felt a little calmer, and immediately wrote to Zhang Ximeng to report the situation.

The Ming army on the West Road not only won Tongguan, but also subdued Li Siqi, obtained tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and opened the gateway to Guanzhong, which can be called a brilliant victory.

Wherever the news went, the people rejoiced and the people were inspired.

In particular, Li Xixi and other veterans of the Northern Expedition came out of Tongguan, passed through Shanzhou and Luoyang, went to Kaifeng, and then returned to their hometowns.

Wherever they passed, countless people came to watch.

There were old men with white hair, middle-aged women, and teenage children, snuggling together, looking at the crowd.

When I saw a similar figure, I rushed over to ask and inquire about the whereabouts of my relatives... How many of the tens of thousands of Northern Expedition troops entered the customs and could come back?

Most people can only answer that they don't know. When someone accidentally tells them that their relatives have died in battle, they can't help crying.

Only a very few lucky people can get together with their relatives. After getting to know each other, they hug each other, weep, and tell each other the pain of parting.

While talking about the hardships of fighting, how to survive, how to get away with it, how to miss relatives, and say a paragraph, you will cry for a while.

On the other hand, relatives here are reluctant to bring up the past. The most talked about is that in the past two or three years, the Ming army came and the bandits left.

The village community was organized, the flood was controlled, and the grain was planted.

"Go home, there is white flour at home, let's bake flatbreads and steam buns, and we won't be hungry anymore!"

The old people took the wandering child's arm, took the vicissitudes of life, and returned home.

As long as there is a couple who successfully recognize each other and go home safely, they will come to congratulate each other and send gifts. Some people even insisted on seeing the demeanor of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition.

Li Xixi and others were simply flattered by the actions of the people.

When did they become so popular?

Just being treated like a hero?

As he continued to move forward, he finally understood. It turned out that there were Da Ming preachers and troupes everywhere. They told the history of the past and told the big guys the stories of Prime Minister Wen and Grandpa Yue.

It tells the importance of restoring the homeland and restoring Yanyun.

Countless people knew these things for the first time, and they even had different views on the Northern Expedition Army. They knew that they were heroes and at least made contributions.

In some places, it was decided to write the soldiers who participated in the Northern Expedition into the county annals as heroes and commemorate them forever.

After witnessing all this, Li Xixi was stunned and ashamed.

When they were on the northern expedition, when did they think about this?

I am afraid that many generals may not know why the Northern Expedition is?

Master Wang, who hangs the people and punishes the crime, gradually became a rogue, and in the end, he could not help but be defeated... Really ashamed!

Now I can only look forward to Daming, recovering my homeland and taking back Yanyun!

Gotta be pissed!

Shandong direction, the front line of the Northern Expedition.

After receiving the urgent report from Feng Guoyong, Xu Da was overwhelmed with emotion and filled with emotion.

As soon as Feng Guoyong progressed smoothly, as a general, he could not help but feel the heart of comparison. Second, the movement in Guanzhong further shows the weakness of the Yuan army.

"Supervisor, the army entered the pass, and Li Siqi fled in embarrassment, desperate and finally surrendered. Wang Baobao was still in Shanxi, and he could not save his troops. It can be seen that the Yuan court was already exhausted, and the reinforcements were cut off. At this time, it was time to take advantage of the situation to go north and take the Dadu, it's close at hand!"

Zhang Ximeng pondered slightly, and finally nodded, "Okay, send the order, the whole army goes north!"

Xu Da was overjoyed and immediately ordered the drumming to gather the generals!

The drums rumbled and the morale was high.

Chang Yuchun, Hu Dahai, Huayun, Wu Zhen... Ming army warriors, gathered together.

Outside the military tent, the flag was flying, like the rays of the sun, like blood, red and bright, and there was no end in sight.

Xu Da was dressed in armor, and the weather was severe.

"Let me pass the order, Chang Yuchun and Hu Dahai, who will be the vanguards, will immediately go north, collect Hebei Prefecture and go straight to Dadu!"

The two warriors stood up together and bowed to take orders.

Then they took tiger steps and rushed out of the army tent.

Both of them have **** faces, but at this moment, their complexions have turned purple because of the rush of blood.

"In the battle of liberation, you can only move forward, not retreat! You will never return to your homeland, and you will never die!" Hu Dahai clenched his fist and said to Chang Yuchun.

Chang Yuchun laughed, "That's right, Brother Hu has not been drinking in these years. When we get to Dadu, we must have a hard drink and rest when we get drunk!"

Hu Dahai took a deep breath and finally nodded.

"Okay, I should go!"

The two men mounted their horses, led their own troops, and advanced separately.

The red flag is rolling, and the people are like dragons.

Chang Yuchun led his troops to attack Dezhou first, then marched again, took Cangzhou and Qingzhou, and three days later, conquered Jinghai.

Seeing Chang Yuchun marching into the army, he was simply engulfed in anger, like a tiger.

Totally a pleasure.

Zhang Ximeng was in the rear, and his daily job was to keep planting small red flags on the sand table and watch as he moved north quickly. He even doubted whether this was a march or a tour.

After all, even walking north is not so fast.

This gang of Yuan Jun is simply face-to-face and vulnerable.

Because the advance was too fast, Zhang Ximeng was even worried about whether the food and grass in the rear could keep up...

Jiang Nan took over the task of dispatching grain and grass. She was still very attentive, and could even be said to be outstanding. Jiang Nan not only used the people's husband, but also contracted a large number of merchants.

For example, let a certain merchant be responsible for transporting the specified baggage to a certain place.

After completing the task, in addition to getting paid, you can also get some preferential treatment, such as the next business... After all, the world is about to be unified, and the north and the south have smooth supplies. It is foreseeable that there are so many profits and abundant oil and water, which is unimaginable. of.

Although it is necessary to pay attention to fairness in everything, it is also a matter of course to contribute to the court and get some convenience.

Jiang Nan is very able to use these little skills to achieve his goals.

The result is that many merchants would rather lose money, but also ensure the quality and quantity, and complete the task of transportation.

With sufficient guarantees ahead, Chang Yuchun's advance was faster.

In contrast, Hu Dahai was not inferior, he charged Hejian, Xiongzhou, and went straight to Bazhou from the other direction.

With such two ruthless people on the stall, the Yuan Dynasty was considered unlucky.

The front line collapsed one after another, mourning, and there was no good news at all.

Zhang Ximeng observed the speed of the advance, and watched piece after piece of land incorporated into the territory, especially after seeing Xiongzhou and Bazhou, Zhang Ximeng suddenly came to his senses.

"Madam, hurry up and prepare the horses, I, I want to go north!"

Jiang Nan pondered for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty has ordered that you are not allowed to go to the front line, and Xu Da and the others are playing well, so don't cause trouble for others."

Zhang Ximeng is speechless, my dear, I have become a mess?

"Look, ma'am, what is this place? Don't you know why I want to go there?"

Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then looked over, she suddenly said: "This is the Juma River, cross the Juma River, that is, it is the land of Yanyun!"

"That's right, after crossing the river, it is the land of Yanyun that has been occupied for more than 400 years! Zhao Song ended 300 years ago, a place that has not been collected!"

Jiang Nan couldn't help but get excited when he heard this.

"Okay, I'll go get ready!"

When the carriage was ready, Zhang Ximeng had already packed a small package containing two changes of clothes and some official documents.

He got into the carriage and was about to leave, but he didn't expect that Jiang Nan would squeeze up too.

"Such a big thing, you can't go alone, I want to see it too!"

Zhang Ximeng had no choice but to agree.

The couple, under the protection of the guards, hurried on their way.

Zhang Xiang suddenly went north, and everyone at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was shocked. What are you doing, if something goes wrong, we can't take responsibility!

Xu Da even led the generals and hurriedly chased after him.

They chased all the way to the front of a big river, and found Zhang Ximeng wrapped in a cloak, facing the north of the river, showing a happy smile.

Xu Da hurried over, looked at Zhang Ximeng, and then said in a low voice, "Sir, who are you?"

Zhang Ximeng turned his head and saw Xu Da, he couldn't help but pulled his arm, walked forward quickly, stepped on the gravel by the river, and pointed to the north.

"That's the sixteen states of Yanyun!"

Xu Da was startled, and Zhang Ximeng added: "Crossing this river, we Daming will surpass Zhao Song!"

Xu Da's heart was greatly lifted, and he murmured: "Sir, is this writing the history of Qianqiu?"
