First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Ximeng also recognized Zhou Huiniang's ability very much. In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, he must be rewarded.It's just that the most important thing right now is to deal with the situation in Shandong.

Mao Gui intends to surrender, and Tian Feng wants to seduce Chahan again, so he urgently needs Ming to send troops to support him.

Several forces are intertwined, not just fighting, but also fighting wits and courage, adapting to changing circumstances... This kind of thing is obviously not a general capable of doing it, not even Xu Da's handsome talent.

Therefore, Lao Zhu had no choice but to send Zhang Ximeng to Huaiyuan to take charge of the situation. Zhang Ximeng came with Guo Ying and Li Wenzhong's two thousand elites. Zhu Yuanzhang's only order for Li Wenzhong was to protect Mr. Zhang's safety no matter what. I want Mr. Zhang to be safe and sound.

The rest depends on how Zhang Ximeng manages.

"Sir, if everything goes well this time, we will be able to enter Shandong, right?" Li Wenzhong suddenly laughed.

Zhang Ximeng frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then smiled, "Do you think I'm going to return home now?"

Li Wenzhong hurriedly smiled and said: "Sir, I didn't mean that. I just remembered that when the superior was enthroned, the Kong family sent people over. At that time, sir, let them be loyal ministers of the Yuan Dynasty. They are all loyal and filial." , I just don’t know if the Kong family is willing to do this?”

Zhang Ximeng smiled softly, "What if they don't want to?"

Guo Ying took the words with a smile, "Then let them be willing!"

If you don't want to be decent, we will help you to be decent!

Light a fire and send a few people there. All in all, there are nine ways to make the Kong family disappear...

Li Wenzhong subconsciously looked at the laughing Guo Ying, his back was a little chilly, but he also had to admit that it was a good choice to settle the Kong family while the war was in chaos, and it all depended on Zhang Ximeng's choice.

The four eyes of the two fell on Zhang Ximeng.

"You guys are right... If you can't solve the problem of the Kong family, you can solve the people of the Kong family. Anyway, if the people are gone, the problem will be gone. Right?"

It was a bit awkward for the two of them to hear this, but it really meant that.

"Sir, is there a better way?"

Zhang Ximeng said: "There is no better solution, but the Kong family also encountered a catastrophe, and many people died, almost extinct."

"Almost extinct?" Guo Ying sighed: "Who is not careful? If they do their work better, wouldn't they save a lot of trouble!"

"It has nothing to do with being careful." Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "They sang about the Orphan of the Zhao family, what can you do?"

Guo Ying was stunned, but Li Wenzhong was quicker than him, and immediately said: "Sir, is Kong Mo messing up Kong? Indeed, even if the Kong family is eliminated, as long as someone is willing, he can still find a child, make up a story, and continue the success story." The glory of the Holy Duke?"

Zhang Ximeng nodded, "That's right, that's why I've been advocating heart-killing all along. There are too many things. Killing people just cuts off the leek leaves that come out, so that heart-killing can completely cut off the roots!"

After pondering for a while, Zhang Ximengfu smiled again: "Actually, I'm quite looking forward to this performance of the Kong family. It's time to change the dynasty. If they don't perform well, it's not convenient for me to go along with it!"

Zhang Ximeng is full of expectations. As for the Kong family, they don't seem to want to disappoint Zhang Ximeng...Kong Kejian and Kong Xi, father and son, are secretly discussing countermeasures.

"Father, the situation in Shandong is about to change. I don't think Mao Gui will last long. Once Chahan's army conquers Kaifeng, Shandong will definitely fall apart."

Kong Kejian nodded, "It's still up to you! When the Red Thief invaded Dadu in the north, it was because of his father's support that he stayed behind. The emperor should not abandon the community easily. In the end, he really defeated Mao Gui and saved Dadu!"

When it comes to the highlight moments in life, Kong Kejian couldn't help but be delighted.

It is precisely because of this that the Emperor Yuan Ting awarded Kong Kejian the official position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Guozijian Jijiu, which is really beautiful.

"Father, goodbye soon, if it weren't for this, we wouldn't have no way out!" Kong Xi's words made Kong Kejian lose his temper immediately.

With a sullen face, he could only utter a few words, "It's hard to be a loyal minister!"

Indeed, Mao Gui had no time to take care of them when the Kong family got mixed up with Yuan Ting, but Daming did not.Zhang Ximeng, in particular, has made his point clear.

Ever since Yingtian came back, the Kong family father and son haven't had a good night's sleep. They have nightmares all day long and wake up at night. The Ming army killed them in front of them. They dragged out their whole family and beheaded them one by one, bleeding profusely. !

"Son, you just said that Mao Gui is not Chahan's opponent. You are right, but can Chahan beat Zhu Yuanzhang?"

It was like asking a question.

Kong Xi had been inquiring desperately for a long time to understand the situation of Daming, especially the Ming army defeated Chen Youliang and annexed Huguang, which greatly increased its strength.

By now, everyone can see clearly that Daming has a strong army, sufficient money and food, and the most important thing is that everyone is united and has a clear stand, and he is a clenched fist.

In contrast, Chahan Timur is also very powerful, with a large number of soldiers and horses, he can take all attacks and conquer all battles.

But Yuan Ting behind him is still fighting.

Even among the generals in charge of the army, Chahan is not without opponents.

After the death of Ashi Badulu, his power returned to his son Polo Timur.But Polo Timur and Chahan faced each other tit-for-tat, and they fought very happily.

On one side is the rising Ming Dynasty, and on the other side is the dying and dying Yuan Dynasty... As an old master of standing in line, it is impossible for the Kong family not to see it, otherwise they would not let Kong Xi go to the sky.

But the problem is that Daming doesn't want it!

It is true that the child wants to support but does not wait for the relatives.

"Father, I think the problem lies with Zhang Ximeng. This kid, he is devoted to innovating, replacing Confucius and Mencius, and even subverting the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. He has ulterior motives!"

"Not only does he have ulterior motives, but he deserves to be killed!" Kong Kejian coughed angrily, "The way of Confucius and Mencius is the principle of the sages, and it has not changed through the ages. How can he, Zhang Ximeng, dare to challenge the way of Confucius and Mencius? He really doesn't know how to live!"

Kong Xi also had no choice but to sigh, "It's really a downturn in the world today, and people's hearts are not old. If this was placed in the pre-Qin period, there must have been a heroic and righteous man who would have shot this beast decisively and let his blood splatter ten steps!"

The father and son sighed for a long time, and there was no better way than hoping that the thunder would strike Zhang Ximeng.

After lamenting for a while, Kong Xi suddenly said: "Father, according to my child's inquiries, Tian Feng and Wang Shicheng dispatched troops recently, and it seems that they should do something."

"Action? What action? Rescue Kaifeng?"

"No, it should be against Mao Gui?"

"Rebellion against Mao Gui?" Kong Kejian pondered slightly, turning his old eyes from time to time, and suddenly said: "So, Mao Gui's situation is very difficult... Once he dies, Shandong will fall into Da Yuan's hands?"

"Basically, it's just that Daming is also eyeing it. It's not good whoever wins." Kong Xi said helplessly.

Kong Kejian groaned silently, this is the most critical time, one wrong step, the consequences will be disastrous, the rise and fall of the millennium Kong family depends on their father and son.

"Son, prepare a generous gift immediately and send it to Tian Feng!"

"A gift for Tian Feng?" Kong Xi was shocked, "Father, if Mao Gui or Daming find out about this, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"It doesn't matter." Kong Kejian waved his hand and said, "Mao Gui is already half dead, he can't live due to internal and external troubles. As for Daming..."

Kong Kejian was also silent, Daming is indeed a trouble.

"We are just a piece of fish right now, and we can get whatever we want. But if we can catch up with Chahan, as a father, we can enter Dadu and become an official in the court."

"Father! Do you still want to be an official of the Yuan court?" Kong Xi yelled strangely.

Kong Kejian sneered slightly, "You idiot! How can you stab someone from behind if you don't stand behind them!"

Kong Xi was stunned, darling, daddy is too smart!

First grab a good position in the Yuan Court, and then stab Da Yuan in the back, this is a perfect move.

"Then, if the Great Yuan Dynasty is safe and sound, what should we do if the North and the South confront each other?"

"Hahaha, isn't this easier! Let's just continue to be the Duke of Yansheng in Dayuan. Maybe Daming will support Nanzong... Anyway, they are all from the Kong family, so we don't care too much. They are all from the Kong family. Just let them pick up a bargain."

After the two men discussed it properly, they immediately prepared 1000 taels of gold and [-] shi of grain, loaded them into a carriage, escorted by Kong Xi, and went to Dongping to present to Tian Feng and reward the three armies.

As a result, not long after Kong Xi set off, he encountered a red scarf army. They were well-equipped and well-organized, and they were elite at first glance.

"We are also Shandong Red Scarves, and we came here on orders. If you have a heart, let's go together!"

Kong Xi didn't dare to refuse, so he just followed the team and set off together in a daze.

During the break, Kong Xi was surprised to find that this group of red scarf soldiers was very different. They did not enter the villages, nor did they disturb the people.

"Your army is so powerful, I'm afraid the Ming army, which has been blown up to the sky, can't catch up!" Kong Xi asked curiously: "Who is the commander of your army, I really want to know this hero!"

"It's not a hero, we live in Xiapeng early." A middle-aged man said with a smile: "But you are wrong in one sentence, we are not the elite of the army, just average! We are much worse than Xu Da and the others! "

Kong Xi was startled, and suddenly realized something... It's over!

Chapter 455 We Daming, Omnipotent

It is not unusual for Peng Zaozhu to lead the troops here.

After all, when the coach of one side intends to surrender, anything can be done.

Therefore, Peng Zaozhu got Han Song's banner, armor, weapons... and then he got Mao Gui's letter without any effort, and then they were unimpeded in Shandong.

From Xuzhou to Yanzhou, and then to Dongping Prefecture.

This road is all along the canal. The Kong family brought a golden gift from Qufu to meet Tian Feng, and they also took this trip, and then they bumped into each other.

When Kong Xixue heard it at first, he almost passed out and was about to die, but he ran into the hands of the Ming army. Isn't this a dead end?

Kong Xixue desperately turned his almost blank head, trying to save his life.

Needless to say, as a master of repeated horizontal jumps, it really made him come up with an idea.

"That...we are also sending money and food to General Tian Feng, yes, we are going to rescue Kaifeng, all for the purpose of fighting Yuan, fighting Yuan!"

Peng Zaozhu looked at Kong Xixue, raised his fist as big as a vinegar bowl, looked at Kong Xixue's chicken-like figure, and shook his head helplessly.

If this punches down, it is estimated that all birds will be blown towards the phoenix.

"Stop pretending, I know everything. Don't talk nonsense now. My people will follow you and pretend to be members of your Kong family. You brought us into Dongping smoothly and took Tian Feng's thief. Turn around and I Leave you a whole body!"

Hearing the previous words, Kong Xixue was already out of his wits and couldn't hold back.When he heard that the whole body was left behind, Kong Xixue was startled and collapsed on the ground, crying like rain.

"I, our family is of the blood of saints, how honorable! The world looks up to the leader of Shilin, no matter what, he can't kill us! The Son of Heaven is a sage and hero, with the heart of the world, please spare us! Spare us! Our Confucius family I am willing to serve Da Ming and wave the flag for Da Ming!"

The guy was crying and begging.

Peng Zaozhu looked on so coldly, he suddenly felt that killing such a mangy dog, it would be better to keep his virtue than to kill them!

"Kong Xixue, if you want to die right now, I will cut you into [-] pieces right by the canal, throw you into the pot, and cook!"

"If you still want to save a whole body, get out of here quickly." While speaking, Peng Zaozhu drew out his dagger and rubbed Kong Xixue's forehead twice. Trembling, he got up from the ground.

Immediately, an unpleasant smell pierced the nostrils, and ticked continuously along the thighs... Dare Xizong clenched his fists and did a hard job!

Peng Zao had no choice but to call two servants of the Kong family to wash for their master, find a piece of clothing, and then hurried on the road.

At this moment, Peng Zao lived, holding two trump cards in his hands. When he met local tyrants, he played the banner of the Kong family, and when he met the Red Scarf Army, he said it was sent by Mao Gui.

Marching all the way at a rapid pace, they even arrived at Dongping.

Tian Feng was also taken aback when he sent someone in to make contact.

There is no doubt that the Kong family is the first family in Shandong. They are really flattered to be able to come!

"Let them in!"

The subordinates turned to leave, Tian Feng said again: "I'll go to meet you, the young master will not be neglected."

It was also unfortunate for Tian Feng, if he didn't go out, he might still have a chance, but he sent himself out because of his gallantry.

Tian Feng led 200 people, opened the gate of Dongping City, and went out of the city to greet them in person. He did not know where he got a drum band, and came to greet them with drums and gongs.

The first time I saw it, I took the initiative to die and returned it to the soundtrack.

"Kong Xixue, go say hello!"

The Duke Shaoyan was miserable, so he could only stand up and say hello to Tian Feng, "General Tian, ​​I, I have prepared some small gifts here, please...please General Tian to check and collect it."

Tian Feng didn't pay attention either, and walked over directly, clapping his hands at Kong Xixue repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you Yan Sheng Gong Gao Yi, I am very grateful."

Kong Xixue scolded the other party badly in his heart, if you want to harm others, you should be more vigilant!

Even if you failed to be a bad guy, you failed too much and deserved to be arrested by the Ming army.

He sighed secretly in his heart, but he could only turn his head and let someone bring over the carriage full of gold, unfold the box, and let Tian Feng watch.

Seeing the golden color, Tian Feng was also tempted. He hurriedly stepped forward, took a closer look, and immediately beamed with joy, "Thank you very much! You have Yan Shenggong generously donating, I am not afraid of anything."

While he was talking, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and turned around suddenly, only to find that a big man was pressing his hands on his shoulders.

In the midst of astonishment, two more people flew over, one in front of the other.

When Tian Feng was in a hurry, he wanted to break free, but Peng Zaozhu's hands clasped his shoulders tightly. How could it be so easy to break free!

And in an instant, two soldiers pounced on Tian Feng and pressed him directly under him. At this time, four more soldiers came with ropes, three times, five times and two times, and Tian Feng was tied up. Zongzi.

Till now, Tian Feng still didn't understand, "You Kong family, how could your Kong family arrest me? I, I and you are a family! My heart is also for Da Yuan!"

At this time, Peng Zaozhu sneered, "You are the loyal minister of Dayuan, you and Kong Xixue are good companions!"

After saying a word, Tian Feng was instantly dumbfounded.

Then he struggled and asked in surprise, "You, who are you?"

Peng Zaozhu chuckled, "The person you least want to face."

Tian Feng was stunned for a while, his face turned pale, he looked at Peng Zaozhu's gaze, full of horror, his lips trembled, "You, you are the Ming army?"
