First Minister of Ming Dynasty

One place, another beacon fire.

The smoke billowed, and the Miao people continued to make troubles. Tang He quickly captured the city, including Jingzhou, which fell into his hands.

During this period, Tianwan became Chen Han...Zhu Yuanzhang also ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

The little friend of childhood has become the emperor!

It's really embarrassing!

Tang He, and these Miao soldiers, have developed into a force to be reckoned with.They also sent personnel to participate in the enthronement ceremony.

After returning from Yingtian, these people went to various places one after another to explain what they had seen and heard.

Tell everyone what Yingtian is like, what the emperor is like, how the enthronement ceremony is like... The soldiers were fascinated and envious when they heard it.

They knew for the first time that the emperor's ascension to the throne requires the support of the people from all over the world, not only the Miao people, but also the Mongols and Li people. Everyone stood together to support a new king who belonged to them!

An unimaginable future is about to emerge.What they have to do is sweep up the dust and welcome the arrival of the new king!

"Please don't worry, Duke! Don't demolish houses to death from freezing, and don't plunder to death from starvation!"

"Follow the command in all actions, and don't take the people's needles and threads!"

"Fight bravely, capture and return to the public!"

……

The Miao soldiers recited the military regulations engraved in their bones aloud, and rushed towards Chenzhou with momentum like a rainbow.

One day later, Chenzhou was in his hands.

Tang He didn't stop, and continued to mobilize his troops to attack Wuling.

This was a very hard battle. Chen Youliang arranged heavy troops. He knew very well that once Wuling was lost, the entire west of Dongting Lake would be lost.

Therefore, Chen Jun fought desperately, and Tang He was also determined to win.

After five days and nights of fierce fighting, Tang He finally opened the gate of Wuling, but at the cost of more than 3000 soldiers led by Jiang Ying died.This young general who once offered advice to Tang He, assisted Tang He in attacking the place where he was staying, and was brave and promising, died on the eve of dawn...

Tang He endured his grief and asked someone to send Zhu Yuanzhang the good news:

we won!

Chapter 428 Chen Youliang in Desperation

"Three thousand soldiers, the remaining is less than six hundred, more than half of the soldiers, there is no bones left, and they were buried in a foreign land... Huai Xierlang, you are worthy of Ming!"

Facing the good news of Tanghe, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were red and his heart was steel, and he also burst into tears at this moment.

Zhang Ximeng was also full of sighs. To be honest, Tang He's army belonged to casual chess. At that time, Zhang Ximeng even thought that even if they failed, they could still explore the way, understand the situation, and provide convenience in the future.

But in the face of this result, Zhang Ximeng had to admit that he was sloppy back then.

Thousands of miles away, in a completely unfamiliar environment, it is by no means an easy task to take root and grow stronger.It is not even possible to have a set of ideas and propositions.

Every soldier needs to have a firm belief, to be indomitable, and to die without regret.

You must also be good at using your brain, be willing to learn, be able to deal with endless difficulties, not only preserve yourself, but also develop and grow, and finally destroy the enemy.

Standing at this moment, Zhang Ximeng also had to say that he underestimated the difficulty of the matter and made a hasty suggestion. He was responsible.

But in the same way, Tang He gave an answer sheet that Zhang Ximeng never expected.

Zhang Ximeng once thought that Tang He was just a second-rate general, and he was safe and sound among the many heroes who founded the country because of his good relationship with Lao Zhu and his seniority.

But in fact, Tang He's wisdom should not be underestimated, and his character is not bad.Moreover, Tang He once presided over the anti-Japanese affairs along the coast. The fortress he built continued to function until the Jiajing Dynasty, protecting the people along the southeast coast.

He may not be as handsome as Xu Da, nor as brave as Chang Yuchun, but Tang He has quite a comprehensive ability, almost called a hexagonal warrior.

Using troops, internal affairs, governing the army, governing the people, selecting talents, employing people, uniting subordinates, and uniting people's hearts... Tang He has achieved more than [-] points in each item.

Only in this way can he break out of a world in an almost desperate situation and turn the impossible into possible!

"My lord, I used to think that Guan Duo and others could be called geniuses in the world if they could detour to Shangdu and enter Goryeo. Now that I think about it, Tang Guogong's talent is not inferior to Guan Duo and others. And if Tang Guogong leads the army, maybe the middle road of the Northern Expedition The army can still gain a firm foothold in Liaodong Goryeo, and finally destroy the Yuan court! Establish a great honor!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and nodded vigorously, "We underestimated Tang He's ability! It's been really difficult for him these years, and it's really not easy for his soldiers, including these tens of thousands of Miao soldiers!"

Facing the good news, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time, then suddenly picked up a pen and wrote eight words on the back: Tang Gong is mighty, long live the soldiers!

Zhang Ximeng groaned slightly, but Zhu Yuanzhang said: "For several years of fighting, I will never regret a hundred deaths. I am unparalleled in the world with loyalty and courage. They deserve it! Hurry up and send someone back!"

Zhang Ximeng hastily agreed, and hastily arranged for the guards to hurry up and send this honor to Wuling.

After it was done, Zhang Ximeng felt quite emotional.

It is not a good word to say that Huaixi is noble, arrogant and powerful.

This group of people created Daming and played with great prestige.

But it also became a scourge in the court in the future.There are many generals who take credit for their pride, act recklessly, form cliques for personal gain, and make the court situation a mess.

Such a group of people, when they met Zhu Yuanzhang, who refused to compromise, naturally held up the butcher's knife, and blood flowed like a river.

Zhu Yuanzhang exhausted the energy for the rest of his life, and Huaixi nobles also exhausted.

Right or wrong, it's hard to say.

But can you find another way to solve this problem... For example, guide Huaixi nobles well, so that this group, which is bursting with combat power, can maintain its vigorous combat power, and at the same time, be able to focus on where it should be placed.

Talents are rare, warriors are hard to find... As long as these generals are used properly, it will be China's blessing.

Such as Tang He, who has experienced years of experience and survived the most difficult environment, Zhang Ximeng does not think that Tang He will set the goal of life as simple prosperity and wealth.

Because not long ago, Zhang Ximeng also experienced a practice... In fact, if you calculate it carefully, Zhang Ximeng's income is quite considerable. If you include the manuscript fee, it is more than enough to support his collection of ancient books.

Zhang Ximeng is not poor, but why does he have the illusion of being poor?

Perhaps this is compared with those extravagant seniors!

For example, those who are not satisfied with three wives and four concubines, who have dozens or hundreds of beauties at home, or those who want to carve even shreds of green onion are extremely crazy... Ask yourself, Zhang Ximeng will never become like this, even most people , will not go this far.

Therefore, how to guide this group of people next is a test of Zhang Ximeng's wisdom.

It's really worrying!

Zhang Ximeng always likes to go a few steps ahead of others... But Tang He and these people definitely don't have so many thoughts, and they can't think so far. What they have to do now is to eliminate Chen Youliang as soon as possible.

After taking Wuling, Tang He continued to send troops to attack the surrounding prefectures and counties, recruit soldiers and horses, recruit surrenders and rebels... The entire west of Dongting Lake fell into the hands of Daming.

The banner of vermilion fluttered in the wind, and Chen Youliang's territory had shrunk to a very miserable situation.

Huangzhou, Wuchang, Jiangxia, Hanyang, Mianyang, plus Yuezhou on the east bank of Dongting Lake.

The Tianwan Kingdom, which used to be a land of two provinces, now only has a pitiful territory left, which is precarious and swaying in the wind.

But even so, God did not want to let Chen Youliang go.

Maybe he did too many immoral things, or maybe Ni Wenjun and Xu Shouhui had manifested their spirits, and they wanted to drag him to Mr. Peng's judgment... The matter has come to this point, and they continue to add chaos to Chen Youliang.

Zhang Bixian, who was known as a spoiled Zhang, stationed in Yuezhou for Chen Youliang, and he could be called Chen Youliang's arm.

Just after Tang He's army conquered Wuling, Zhang Bixian couldn't sleep at night and was trembling.

Gu Han

He was very worried that Tang He would cross the Dongting Lake and advance by land and water. In that case, Yuezhou would be in danger.

So Zhang Bixian called Luo Furen, the magistrate of Yuezhou, over here, "Immediately give an order to confiscate all fishermen's boats and burn them all. Anyone who dares to disobey will be executed! No one will be left behind!"

Hearing this order, Luo Furen was shocked and speechless for a while.

Zhang Bixian looked at him viciously, "Why, you are a little magistrate, how dare you disobey orders?"

Luo Furen was so frightened that he was trembling all over, Zhang Bixian won the respect of Chen Youliang, after Zhang Dingbian was captured, he was almost the only hope for Chen Youliang, so he became more arrogant, and if he didn't like it, he would be killed immediately.

Not to mention the small magistrate, even Pingzhang and Shangshu, they beat, scolded and killed at will, without being polite.

Luo Furen was terrified, but he had to say something!

"The humble official knows how to seize the fishing boats and guard against the Ming army. But the fishermen of Dongting Lake are no better than others, so they must not act rashly like this!"

"Why? You want to protect them?" Zhang Bixian asked angrily with bloodshot eyes!

"No... There have always been water thieves in Dongting Lake. The so-called fishermen are also half people and half thieves. When the years are peaceful, they fish and farm. When the years are chaotic, they escape into the lake and become bandits. Now Zhu When Ming's troops arrive, they may not cooperate with the Ming army. Maybe they will fight. But if it is necessary to confiscate the fishing boats, set fire to kill people, let alone confiscate them all... I am worried that the water bandits in the lake will collude with Zhu Ming's soldiers and horses , but even more unfavorable!"

Zhang Bixian listened silently with a dark face. Naturally, his words made sense, but Zhang Bixian was already disturbed and out of his mind.

Zhu Ming's army attacked, and when Chen Han was in a desperate situation, no matter what, he couldn't sit still, he had to do something!This is no longer a question of right and wrong.

A small magistrate dares to teach me a lesson!

You are not worthy!

Snapped!

Zhang Bixian waved his hand violently, and slapped Luo Furen hard on the mouth.

His slap was like an iron plate, Luo Furen, a scholar, couldn't bear it, he was slapped and rolled far away, blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

"Get out! Get out now!" Zhang Bixian felt wronged, but he didn't kill anyone.

Luo Furen endured the severe pain, clutched his cheeks, staggered out, he had no hope in his heart.He didn't go to the Yamen either, and escaped directly from Yuezhou City.

After he left, it took half a day for Zhang Bixian to get the news.

what?

The bastard is gone?

He must have gone to tell those thieves, he, he wants to seek refuge with Zhu Chongba!

Zhang Bixian seemed to be insane, so he sent people to chase after him, and then led his own troops, rushed to the Dongting Lake, and ordered his men to seize the boats and capture the fishermen...

Zhang Bixian's behavior can be regarded as a deceptive behavior of human beings.

Chen Youliang was born as a fisherman, and the people of Dongting Lake still have a little affection for them.

But with Zhang Bixian's massacre and wanton looting, many fishing villages were turned into a ball of flames, and the fishermen were even angry. They desperately drove the boat, dragged their families and fled into Dongting Lake for refuge.

Some people even went to look for the Ming army.

Zhang Bixian's torment was completely a side effect.

This hero of Chen Han was furious, he wanted to go back to the city, and thought of a better way... But when he returned to the city, the banner of Yuezhou City had suddenly changed.

"Zhang Bixian, Mr. Luo is considerate of the common people, diligent and conscientious, he is a very good and upright official... You drove away Mr. Luo, so don't keep him!"

It turned out to be a civil uprising!

Zhang Bixian recognized the few people in the head, and they were all local wealthy households.

"You, you idiots! When Zhu Chong Basha comes, your property will disappear!"

The leading few wealthy households sneered, "Following you, you can't even keep the Nine Clans! What are you talking about?"

Zhang Bixian was so angry that his face was livid, and he wanted to attack the city. As a result, arrows rained down on the city. He didn't carry any equipment at all, so he could only do nothing.

Zhang Bixian howled like a beast, turned around and took his subordinates with him, and fled in embarrassment.

He also wanted to escape back to Wuchang, and together with Chen Youliang, he fought stubbornly.

It's just that Zhang Bixian didn't expect that, fifty miles away from Wuchang, he encountered an army of Zhu's family, and the general at the head was Wang Bi.

After a fierce battle, Zhang Bixian suffered heavy losses, and he wanted to escape. Zhu Wenzheng, Wu Zhen, Wu Liang, and they led reinforcements to arrive.

Facing this lineup, Zhang Bixian, who has already lost his mind, is still an opponent!

Half a day later, Zhang Bixian, who was wearing more than ten wounds and was dying, was carried in front of Chang Yuchun.

"Governor, Chen Youliang's last hope is over!"

Chapter 429 Even the Big Family Betrayed

Chang Yuchun glanced at Zhang Bixian, who was kneeling in front of him. He didn't know where his helmet was. The armor on his body was damaged in many places, and there were spots of blood. In some places, the skin and flesh were ripped open, exposing bones.

Chang Yuchun closed his eyes slightly, thinking of the Hukou back then, Zhang Bixian led the fleet to attack, almost hurting Lao Zhu.He caught up and shot an arrow to resolve the crisis.

At that time, the great river was fighting for supremacy, but now Zhang Bixian has become a prisoner of his subordinates. It is really embarrassing!

"Po Zhang, now that you have fallen into my hands, what do you have to say?"

Zhang Bixian tried his best to open his eyes wide, and said in a muffled voice: "I, I want to see Da Mingzi!"

"Meet the superior?" Chang Yuchun laughed loudly, "What are you, you can also meet my superior?"
