First Minister of Ming Dynasty

This is also one of the major reforms carried out in the military under Zhang Ximeng's leadership... Many times, one will forget one's form when one is proud, and the more proud one is, the more likely one is to act recklessly.

Like the sapphires in history, they captured a lot of Yuan court clans, so they just picked a few good-looking ones and enjoyed them by themselves.There are also people like Ruan Xiaoqi who put on a dragon robe to play around after killing Fang La.

You say this kind of thing is normal, just laugh it off, and it's over.If you want to follow up and investigate, it is also difficult to explain clearly.

Therefore, Zhang Ximeng made a plan long before the war started.

To avoid major mistakes caused by the general's temporary confusion... Of course, these plans do not include impromptu decisions on the battlefield, and Zhang Ximeng has no intention of micromanaging.

Mainly like Han and Song... If the city breaks through, the Ming army needs to rescue them with all their strength, and they cannot just sit idly by.If Liu Futong and the others are full of hostility towards Daming for some reason, we must try our best to restrain ourselves and never allow the slaughter of Han and Song monarchs.

As for the current situation, Kaifeng successfully rescued the siege, Han and Song monarchs were safe and sound... Zhang Ximeng's request was not to be too close, to keep a distance, and to provide some help, but these people would never be allowed to leave Kaifeng casually, even more so. They cannot be allowed to flee on the spot and spread everywhere.

Chang Yuchun thought back to Zhang Ximeng's instructions, and now he admires nothing but admiration.

You are a rough old man, how do you know how to deal with Han Song Junchen?

If you are happy, you accept your surrender, and something will happen when you go back.

If the people below get it wrong and kill these people, it will still end badly when they go back.

That is to say, Zhang Xiang is careful and thinks of everything.

Chang Yuchun pondered for a while, then said to Zhao Jizu: "I am acting according to the military order. The battle with Chahan is not over yet. After several months of siege, Kaifeng needs to recuperate... Go back and tell King Xiaoming and Liu Futong to stay in the city. We will send food and medicine there, and if we really have to go out of the city to handle errands, we are not allowed to leave ten miles away."

"Okay, you can go, I have to lead the army to chase Chahan!"

After Chang Yuchun finished speaking, he led his troops forward and left Zhao Jizu aside.

Moreover, the Ming army also divided a group of soldiers and horses, led by Zheng Yuchun, to take over the position left by the Yuan army, and continued to block Kaifeng against the earthen wall.

Zheng Yuchun is not Chang Yuchun, this guy has been a trainer for so many years, he is very principled, but at the same time he always smiles, he can tell anyone, he is a person who is round on the outside and square on the inside.

He took over the negotiation with Han Song, which was much stronger than Chang Yuchun.

We are allies, and Da Ming will never betray his promises, let alone do harm, please understand in the city... But now there is a war again, the two families are different after all, if they withdraw their soldiers and horses, come in and out casually, collide with each other, and hurt their peace, then Not good.

Therefore, we first took over the periphery of Kaifeng, but not to block the city, but to protect the big guys.

The Ming army provided 20 catties of grain every day to help tide over the difficulties.

In addition, eight markets were set up in front of the camp of the Yuan army, so that people in the city could come out to exchange supplies with the Ming army and buy what they needed.

Furthermore, we prepare medicines, treat the wounded, and at the same time set aside an area as a special cemetery to bury the soldiers who have unfortunately passed away in the past few months.

Finally, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell us, and we will try our best to coordinate.

Zheng Yuchun's arrangement was reasonable and no one could fault it.

But behind this set of arrangements, there is also absolute alienation. Han Song is Han Song, and Daming is Daming. It is too late to deal with the affairs of our two families, and we will talk about it later.

But there is no doubt that the Ming army did not allow Han Song to participate in the battle with the Yuan army. There is still a big difference between the allies and the allies.

If you can't fight side by side, you can't share the fruits of victory.

If you can't become a winner, what will happen to the result? It doesn't seem so optimistic!

When the news reached Kaifeng, the group of Da Song Zhongliang were the first to understand. There is no doubt that they are all very smart, and they still can't understand this matter.

Although Liu Futong survived the difficult siege, Han Song was also abolished.

Now there is only one city, less than [-] soldiers, the wounded, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled everywhere... Just like this, a gust of wind can wipe out Han Song.

There is no need for others to make a move.

It's time, this Da Song, it's time to die!

It's just this last breath, who should blow it?

The Ming army seems unwilling to do it!

Then it's just us people.

The Wang family, the Yang family, the Lu family...these are all famous people from the great clan who were expelled from Daming by Zhu Yuanzhang and sent to Kaifeng. Now they are gathering to discuss.

"What do you think Daming means?" Wang Xiu asked.

Those two looked at it, and they all smiled and said: "Is there any need to say more? It's just that the Son of Heaven doesn't want to do dirty work, and doesn't want to be involved in killing, or else he will directly send troops into Bianliang and throw King Xiao Ming Just drown in the Yellow River."

Wang Xiu hehe said: "That's not bad... But if the Son of Heaven really does this, we'll be in trouble instead. When the Ming army enters the city, it's not just Xiao Ming who will be killed!"

Yang Pangui nodded, "That's right. Back then, we thought that King Xiaoming was destined to belong to the world. Who would have thought that Liu Futong, the hero of the world, would have misjudged the man! Now that Zhu Yuanzhang's army is attacking, what should we do? You know, The Ming Dynasty disrespected the scholars, confiscated the land, and now they don’t even want the teachings of Confucius and Mencius...We can’t just bow our heads like this, can we?”

After he said this, he found that Wang Xiu actually sneered, which made Yang Pangui stunned. Could it be that he said something wrong?

Not only is it wrong, it is simply wrong!

"Don't worry about what Da Ming does, one thing remains the same... No matter what you do, you can't do it without the people who do it. In the past, we couldn't make meritorious deeds. Da Ming's knife cut it down, and it couldn't be stopped, and we couldn't hide it. , I have no choice but to flee to Kaifeng. But now it is different, a great contribution is placed in front of us, as long as we solve the immediate troubles for Da Mingzi, we will always have our share in terms of meritorious deeds."

Yang Pangui was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh hard, and suddenly realized.

Really, such a simple thing, why didn't I figure it out.

"Then, what about Zhang Ximeng? He, he is the enemy of Confucianism!"

"Lake paint!"

Wang Xiu looked down on this old friend even more, what kind of experience!Still don't understand?

"Zhang Xiang is a true Confucian. My generation used to learn false Confucianism. Zhang Xiang is the great master of revival of Confucianism!"

Yang Pangui pondered slightly, this time he figured it out, "Yes, Kublai Khan is a great master of Confucianism, why is Zhang Xiang not, Zhang Xiang must be!"

Now that I figured it out, I have to figure out how to do it next.

As soon as they discussed it, they first went to find Zhao Jizu... This man holds the title of Minister of the Ministry of War and has some military power.

Even though he betrayed Lao Zhu in the first place, he still has some old feelings. He was from Haozhou, so he will not kill them all.

In addition to him, there was Pingzhang Luo Wensu, and several Han and Song ministers, all gathered together.

Only without Liu Futong and his brother Liu Liu, the rest of Song Zhongliang all went to the palace to meet King Xiao Ming.

To say that Han Lin'er is also pitiful, after the child became King Xiaoming, Liu Futong took over his authority and became a puppet, and then he was besieged by the Yuan army. Waking up, or even falling asleep altogether.

A person under 20 years old, as thin as a handful of bones, with two big eyes, looks a bit like a cat.

Hearing that the Yuan army retreated and Kaifeng was relieved, he was quite happy, and finally he was able to sleep peacefully.

But before he fell asleep, he was approached by this group of loyal ministers and good generals.

"Qing, wait, can you have something?"

These people didn't speak, just watched.

Han Liner was at a loss.

After being silent for a while, Wang Xiu suddenly took a step, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please repay your kindness!"

Han Lin'er was stunned. This, is this the tone he used to speak to His Majesty?

Wang Xiu didn't care, and said to himself: "Your Majesty was besieged in Kaifeng, and his life was hanging by a thread. He almost died. It was all thanks to Hong En, the Son of Heaven, that he escaped the siege and survived. Does Your Majesty still not know the destiny?"

Yang Pangui also said: "The kindness of life-saving, kindness and re-creation. When Mingjun is born, he should follow the heart of heaven, give up as soon as possible, and entrust the Mingzhu with the country and society, which is the right way!"

Han Liner was stunned for a while, and finally understood, dare these people want to let him give way?

Suddenly, a nameless anger surged up in him.

"You let me know how to repay you! I don't know that at that time, the son of heaven eradicated the aristocratic family and suppressed the powerful. You are like dogs who are bereaved. I see you as pitiful and took you in! What, now you are ungrateful? To force me to Zen ? Do you still have a little bit of loyalty? Are you not afraid that everyone in the world will get it and punish you?"

Han Lin'er suddenly became angry, and what he said made sense, and it really frightened several people.

After a brief silence, that Yang Pangui stood up again, pointed at Han Liner and shouted: "He is just a traitor who stole the throne and dared to call himself the emperor! What a joke! We are supposed to eliminate thieves for the world !"

Han Liner turned pale with shock, "You, you dare to kill the king?"

Wang Xiu said quietly: "I'm not waiting to kill the king, but to kill a fool who doesn't know the current affairs!"

At this time Zhao Jizu also spoke, "Your Majesty, let's take the Zen position! Otherwise, or else everyone in the world will kill Your Majesty!"

Han Lin'er's face was pale and his lips trembled.

"Wait, you're bullying and ungrateful like this. So, even if you're a son of heaven, you won't use you!"

These words were a bit heart-wrenching, but Wang Xiu and the others were already red-eyed, so why did they care so much, they actually rushed forward directly.

"Your Majesty, if you don't abdicate, I'm afraid that the day of your death is just around the corner!"

Han Lin'er was so frightened that he ran backwards, knocked over the chair and rolled to the ground, his forehead was broken, and blood flowed out, it was very desolate.

Yang Pangui yelled: "Hold him down, I'll get the rope and strangle him to death!"

But when Yang Pangui turned around, he found Liu Futong was pale, leaning on a cane, glaring at them...

Chapter 473 Zhang Xiang's Good Student

"Rope, where is the rope?"

Wang Xiu roared angrily, but Yang Pangui didn't answer. He turned around and found Liu Futong.Wang Xiu was also shocked, took two steps back, and sat down on the ground.

As for Zhao Jizu, Luo Wensu and others, they also noticed Liu Futong, and they were all panicked, and their faces changed.After all these years, Liu Futong has been in charge of power, and he is the real emperor of Han and Song Dynasties.

Who here has not seen his thunderbolt method!

Although he was down and out, but he was a tiger with great prestige, no one could really ignore Liu Futong.

Zhao Jizu opened his mouth, and finally said reluctantly: "Prime Minister, we, we just want to persuade His Majesty to take the Zen seat, there is no other meaning."

Liu Futong still kept his face sullen, without saying a word, his sharp gaze, sharper than a dagger, pierced the hearts of several people fiercely.Zhao Jizu lowered his head, not daring to look at each other, his hands trembling slightly.

At this moment, Wang Xiu actually got up from the ground, took a step forward, and bravely said: "Prime Minister, the matter has come to this point, it seems irreversible, and there is nothing we can do."

Liu Futong took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Yes, you are at the end of your rope, so you are going to kill the king, right?"

Wang Xiu was startled, and hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, the officials have the courage to say, Your Majesty, there is no such thing as a king, and it is only thanks to the support of the Prime Minister that today is possible. Now Kaifeng has been besieged for several months, and the hearts of the people are lost. Go, the destiny is transferred, and manpower is hard to return. Rather than being killed by someone, it is better, it is better..."

He couldn't continue, Liu Futong sneered, and took over the words, "It's better for you to kill the king and father, take His Majesty's head, and change your future, right?"

Wang Xiu's complexion changed suddenly, and so did the rest of the people, there was no answer.

But Liu Futong sneered and said, "When Zhao Song was subjugated, there were still loyal people like Lu Xiufu. Are you going to kill the king now? From this we can see that the morality of our Song Dynasty is not as good as that of the previous Song Dynasty!"

Liu Futong was full of desolation, Yang Tian lamented, and tears flowed down his face.

Seeing this, Zhao Jizu thought it was Liu Futong who had conceded defeat and was sad in his heart, so he bravely came over and leaned over to persuade him.

"Prime Minister, there is a natural reason for the rise and fall, and luck is like this, so there is no need to be sad. Your Majesty is worthy of dying for the country..."

Snapped!

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Futong slapped Zhao Jizu hard on the face.

Although Liu Futong was injured, sick, and weak, the slap was still so powerful that his molars fell out and his mouth was covered with blood.

"What is the ups and downs? What is the principle of heaven? What are you still talking about with me? The law of heaven is the equalization of the land, and the rise and fall are the hearts of the people! It's a pity that I, Liu Futong, spent ten years of hard work to understand this truth! I cry myself, I was deceived by you Yes, it's so hard!"

Liu Futong seemed to be crying and laughing, as if he was insane.

The words that came out of his mouth pierced the heart and lungs, making the group of people change color in fright, and almost collapsed.

This, isn't this what Zhang Ximeng talked about?

In the past, Liu Futong was the most contemptuous person, and he also recruited so many great scholars to write articles to scold Zhang Ximeng, saying that he was ignorant and frivolous, misinterpreted the meaning of sages, was crowned with monkeys, and was a clown.

Several of them got promoted because they scolded them hard enough.

It's just that people never expected that at this juncture, Liu Futong actually made a big turn and changed his face, which is really puzzling.

Looking at the astonished people, Liu Futong suddenly reached out, took out a booklet, and slammed it on the faces of several people.

"Perhaps you don't know! Trapped in the city, I have time to read and think about things... I have read the articles written by Zhang Ximeng several times, and I have thought a lot. I dare not say what I have learned, but I understand Many things."

"I think when the first emperor taught the Dharma back then, he talked about King Ming coming to the world, and the world will be unified. Following His Majesty King Ming, destroying the Great Yuan, and restoring the Great Song. I was also in a flash of heat, so I spent all my wealth and followed the late Emperor. These years I have been Thinking about the Northern Expedition, thinking about destroying the Great Yuan. But I almost forgot that the people followed us only because they thought about King Ming coming to the world and bringing the world into harmony!"

"What is the world of Datong? What is ample food and clothing, neither hunger nor cold? Isn't it to divide the fields equally, everyone has land to cultivate, everyone has food to eat, and everyone has clothes to wear? The Yuan court only cared about making the Mongolian nobles rich and let The tyrants exploit the common people, smashing the bones and sucking the marrow, so that tens of thousands of people have no place to stand and cannot survive, and this is how there are millions of red scarves!"

"I, I'm so stupid!"

Liu Futong stamped his feet, beat his chest, and wailed loudly, "I've done what I've done. I've seen that the soldiers are strong and horses. With some weather, I forgot these reasons. After listening to the rumors of you bastards, do you really want to restore the Song Dynasty? Then Zhao Song really did the right thing, how could the country be subjugated? You gangsters are really lingering, deceiving the king and betraying the master, you are really getting more and more shameless!"

Liu Futong's scolding can be said to be full of blood, every sentence is heartbreaking.

He scolded not only the person in front of him, but also himself.

The things that Han Shantong said at the beginning already implied many of the ideas advocated by Zhang Ximeng. If we take a step forward and summarize the equalization of land, attack the powerful, expel the barbarians, and form an opinion, after ten years of work, their red scarf may not be You can't sweep the Great Yuan and rule the world.
