First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Although there is no shortage of food and drink, this kind of loneliness is still hard to bear.

Everyone knows that she was originally Zhang Shicheng's person, and she was given to Li Bosheng when he was in distress. Now Li Bosheng dare not touch her, who is impatient and dares to seek death!

In this way, Xuejiao's life became lifeless, a small courtyard locked her hands and feet, covered her eyes, she couldn't go out, she couldn't see outside, it was like being in a prison.

When things got to this point, Xuejiao almost went crazy... After thinking about it, she finally found a way, isn't she too old!There are plenty of young ones, and there will never be a shortage of beauties in Jiangnan.

Xuejiao actually gathered a bunch of beauties and opened a brothel specially to entertain Zhang Shicheng's celebrities.

Of course, Xuejiao didn't have to go off in person. With her extraordinary vision and superb ingenuity, she quickly selected and cultivated a group of top-notch beauties and captured the hearts of a large number of guests.

The business is getting bigger and bigger, and it's booming outrageously!

What would Li Bosheng do if his own woman did this kind of thing?

What else can be done, of course it is a blessing, Li Bosheng simply gave the other courtyard to Xuejiao.

Anyway, if he could get rid of this woman, no matter how much he had to pay.

Just don't let Zhang Shicheng miss him.

But for Zhang Shicheng, he was too lazy to go to war for a woman.Besides, what if Xuejiao opened a brothel?Isn't there Song Huizong and Li Shishi?

Going to visit in the future can be regarded as imitating the sages.

In this way, Xuejiao really made the business bigger and bigger, she racked her brains to win over beautiful women.Spend money to buy, arrange people to lure and kidnap.

She even played the banner of recruiting weavers, tricked a lot of women over, and then selected them one by one.The ones that are beautiful and have potential belong to her, and the rest are sent to the workshop. In the past few years, there have been eighty innocent women who have been tricked by her and thrown into the pit of fire.

Among them, there were at least ten people who couldn't bear to commit suicide!

After figuring out these things, Zhou Huiniang almost froze... She has seen a lot of worlds in all her travels, so it stands to reason that she will not lose her composure easily.

But facing Xuejiao, Zhou Huiniang was really speechless!

She felt a pain in her heart, and the feeling was indescribable.

"You, you have also suffered, you know that feeling, you, how can you do it? How can you push others into the fire pit? You, don't you know how to feel guilty?" Zhou Huiniang's voice trembled with anger.

At this moment, Xuejiao only felt that her face was being ripped off severely, and she was in burning pain.

She simply smashed the pot and said, "Sister Hui, I can't blame me for this matter. The surnamed Li doesn't want me, no one dares to help me. I want to save myself and survive! I grew up in a brothel, What else do you think I can do besides open a brothel?"

"Is this the reason why you hurt people? You have to know, how many people died because of your wives and children?" Zhou Huiniang gritted her teeth and said angrily: "You have also endured that torture. How can your heart compare with snakes and scorpions? Still vicious? You want to live, how many people have you killed? Do you still deserve to live?"

Xuejiao's heart seemed to be stabbed, and her facial features suddenly became ferocious.

"Sister Huiniang, you know better than me about brothels! I don't deserve to live? Why can't I live?" Xuejiao's voice suddenly increased, "Those princes, generals, prime ministers, Pingzhang...all the bastards, they Eat hot, drink spicy. Do whatever you want! Compared with them, what do I do? What is it?"

Xuejiao roared: "I run a brothel just to serve those big shots! They can't control themselves when they look at a person who looks like a man. They come to me for fun. If they want to know other people's thoughts, they start from me. Inquire here. You said that I harmed people, but I did it for those people! This is all on my head, is it justified?"

These words were almost screamed, and reached Zhang Shicheng's ears through the female's loud and clear voice. His heartbeat rose sharply, and his blood pressure soared, almost to the point of fainting.

He allowed Xuejiao to open a brothel, which sounds absurd, and it is indeed absurd when you think about it... But in their eyes, a woman is just a commodity, he can not want it, but others can't possess it.

Since you can't have them, and they are still alive, isn't it normal to open a brothel?

After all, she can't do anything else.

Letting her open a brothel can be regarded as a good use, and by the way, she can get a lot of information, monitor her generals and officials, and even help Zhang Shicheng.

It seems that when it comes to this, it is not so puzzling.

But the problem is that this kind of shit can't be exposed?

Otherwise, Zhang Shicheng's subordinates, counting from the beginning, almost everyone will hardly survive the disaster.The ghost knows what Xuejiao will say out of her mouth!

"Zhang Xiang, this kind of woman from a brothel is accustomed to debating and deceiving people. I, I don't know who she is at all. She has done so many outrageous things. She should be killed. She is hanging on a bamboo pole! Zhang Xiang, don't listen to his nonsense!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled slightly, and said suddenly: "Prince Huai, once she said that, let's just listen to it. Her real crimes are deceiving women, forcing women into prostitution, killing people's lives, destroying families, breaking up flesh and blood, and violating nature. Doing this kind of crime According to the laws of Ming Dynasty, the death penalty is required.”

When Zhang Shicheng heard this, he nodded again and again, and hurriedly said: "That's right! That's right! It must be killed, and it must be killed immediately! This kind of disaster cannot be left behind, absolutely must not be left behind!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, what is Zhang Shicheng afraid of?

It stands to reason that even if Xuejiao said some messy things... she would have already surrendered, and the dynasty has changed.The lives of Zhang Shicheng and his group are in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.

If you are willing to pardon, even if the crime is more serious, you may be able to raise your hand.

If you don't want a pardon, just find an excuse and you can kill Zhang Shicheng.

When Zhang Shicheng was given the sample of the iron coupon of the Danshu, he had already revealed this matter, and Zhang Shicheng would not fail to understand.

That being the case, there are only two possibilities for him to react so violently now. One is that he is worried that Zhu Yuanzhang will use this as an excuse to take him.

Secondly, I was afraid that this matter would cause chaos, and I would take down Zhang Shicheng's generals in advance and destroy his layout!

That being the case, let's attack Zhang Shicheng's lifeblood!

Zhang Ximeng suddenly raised the blue command flag, seeing this scene, the interrogation stopped.

"What orders does Prime Minister Zhang have?"

Zhang Ximeng said: "Today we are interrogating ordinary cases. For those cases that are complicated and involve a lot, we must investigate thoroughly, but we must also have reasons. You can't indulge the bad guys!"

Zhang Ximeng looked up at the many empty bamboo poles, and sighed: "In order to restore peace to Suzhou, even if there are ten times more bamboo poles, I will not hesitate!"

ten times!

That's 1 people!

It's really head rolling, blood flowing like a river.

Zhang Ximeng, your heart is too cruel!

At this point, there is no other choice, the worst is to fight with Zhang Ximeng, and the fish will die.

Just taking advantage of the fact that the hearts of the people are still there, and the soldiers and horses under him are still willing to listen to us, we will turn this Suzhou city into Zhang Ximeng's tomb!

The interrogation ended in a hurry. After Zhang Shicheng returned, he immediately called the two brothers and began to discuss countermeasures, planning how to launch it.

When Zhang Ximeng came back from the execution ground, all his subordinates also came, including Mao Gui.

Before Mao Gui was sent as an envoy, Zhang Shicheng, in a rage, arrested Mao Gui, but soon released Mao Gui.And Mao Gui simply stayed in Suzhou, discussing Zhang Shicheng's surrender, and at the same time inquiring about the situation in Suzhou.

"Master, there are still more than 3 troops in Suzhou City, among which Zhang Shicheng's cronies are no less than [-] elite. If he gives an order and these people mobilize, I am afraid that Master will be in danger. The students think that Master should leave the city immediately. Enter the barracks, mobilize soldiers and horses, arrest Zhang Shicheng, and eradicate this scourge!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled slightly, "You're right, but you may not be clear about some things... You probably don't know how many of Zhang Shicheng's troops can be pulled out!"

As soon as Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, Shi Boren said: "Mr. Zhang, according to my inquiries, it is said that there are [-] elites, and there are also vacancies among them. The actual number will not exceed [-]."

The hard-core confidant actually has one-sixth of the vacancies, and I don't know how Zhang Shicheng messed up, what a big heart!

"Zhang Xiang, among the elite of Zhang Shicheng's subordinates, the first were the children of salt workers brought from Taizhou, Gaoyou and other places. His health was not good, or he was negligent in the battle, and he was not as good as before. In several contests, he was no longer as brave as before. Later, Zhang Shicheng recruited many people from Suzhou, accounting for more than half. These newcomers may not be willing to give Zhang Shicheng Work hard." Xu Ben told Zhang Ximeng what he knew.

"That is to say, can it still be divided and disintegrated?"

At this time Wu Datou suddenly said, "Zhang Xiang, although it didn't take long, we sang a few times. The people in Suzhou were naked and hungry. They all lived too hard. We have already won the support of the weavers. , if he finds a way to dismantle the morale of the army, I'm afraid Zhang Shicheng won't even be able to pull out the troops!"

Zhang Ximeng said: "Do you have any clever strategies?"

Wu Datou shook his head, "It's not a good strategy. I plan to incorporate our ideas and the voices of the people into Tanci. Taking advantage of the night, a dozen of us gathered around the barracks and sang aloud. Big show!"

Zhang Ximeng's eyes lit up, "This is going to be a four-sided Tanci! Not bad!"

Chapter 531 No one came

When Chu and Han were fighting for supremacy, the last battle was Gai. In the night, the Han army sang the songs of Chu to the Chu soldiers in the encirclement. Overnight, people's hearts were scattered, soldiers and horses fled, and the dignified Chu overlord was desperate. Can only commit suicide.

This passage has been continuously performed in operas, and Zhang Liang is even given the credit for the tragic song.

It is said that although the Han army surrounded the Chu army, they could not fight for a long time, and many soldiers were killed by Xiang Yu. Han Xin had no choice but to ask Zhang Liang to find a way.

As a result, Zhang Liang disguised himself and infiltrated the Chu army. From Jiming Mountain to Jiuli Mountain, he sang with the hole flute and scattered the Bawang's eight thousand soldiers.

Frankly speaking, the excitement of this story is no less than the Three Kingdoms' empty city plan... One is to pretend to be calm, playing the piano to defeat the enemy, and the other is to defeat the enemy with the sound of the flute.

It seems that Luo Guanzhong should really work hard, code well, and create more famous books, otherwise, he should be locked in a small black room.

Only steamed buns and clear water can be eaten if you write [-] characters, and you are allowed to come out if you write [-] characters...

This method is good, and it can be implemented immediately after Zhang Shicheng is completely resolved.

Wu Datou is holding a pipa in his hand, and his partner next to him is holding a sanxian.

There are more than a dozen pairs of partners similar to them. The big guys hold musical instruments in their arms and are ready for battle.

Wu Datou stared at the big guy very seriously, and instructed: "In the past, I always told the big guy that we are soldiers, and the instruments in our hands are weapons. Some of you may not believe it. But today, I hope you cheer up Come on, across from us, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and we only have 40 to [-] people. It seems that the disparity is huge, and we have no chance of winning."

"But I want to tell you guys, behind us is the Ming Dynasty, and there are countless Li people. We are doing justice for the sky and following the tide... so we will win!"

"Follow the order and go to the front line immediately!"

……

The pre-war mobilization was over, and at dusk, soldiers escorted these entertainers and approached Zhang Shicheng's barracks.

From all directions, forming a siege.

Just waiting for an order, the Pingtan offensive began.

On the other side, after tense discussions, Zhang Shicheng also sent two brothers to the barracks to mobilize troops and prepare to go to Zhang Ximeng's residence suddenly in the middle of the night and kill him.

Zhang Shicheng even dug out the armor he hadn't worn for several years and put it on.

It's just that Zhang Shicheng put on a lot of fat, and his huge waist made the armor very uncomfortable, as if he had a ball in his stomach.

Regardless of these, as long as Zhang Ximeng can be killed!

Zhang Shicheng gripped the long knife tightly in his hand, and gnashed his teeth fiercely.

He felt that he alone was not enough. If Zhang Ximeng was caught, don't rush to kill him.

Call all the big households in Suzhou City and let them do it together.

Anyone who is willing to stab Zhang Ximeng is considered one of his own. If he doesn't stab Zhang Ximeng, it means that he is not of one mind and let him die with Zhang Ximeng.

Since then, all people in Suzhou City have united as one, even if Zhu Yuanzhang came here with all his soldiers, he could still fight!

On the execution ground, Zhang Ximeng paid back ten times, a hundred times the fear he gave him!

Both sides are actively preparing, Zhang Shicheng relies on the generals and big households above, and the Ming army relies on the soldiers at the bottom. The contest between the two sides began around the first watch.

The first thing to start is a grain station.

Zhang Shicheng announced his surrender, so naturally he could not continue to be the emperor of the land. He set up food stations around their barracks, distributed food and counted the number, which Zhang Shicheng could not refuse.

This food station is deep into the barracks, not too far from the Chinese army.

After the night fell, the melancholy sound of the pipa sounded, and soon after, Sanxian joined in, desolate and miserable, drifting into the barracks.

Many soldiers were attracted and listened attentively.

Especially the local soldiers in Suzhou, they were very cordial when they heard the familiar Tanci singing.

Could not bear to go out, eagerly watching.

Soldiers one after another walked out of the tent and stood under the moon, listening to Tanci, and gradually, some people's noses became sore.

"...No clothes on body, no food in belly, parents begging along the street, sisters working hard in workshops..."

Isn't it about their situation?

Don't look at Zhang Shicheng's confidantes, there should be a lot of empty pay and blood of soldiers... Even because of the reputation of being an elite, he is more fierce and cruel than others.

Once you enter this door, you are not allowed to go out.

The soldiers were forced to swear allegiance to Zhang Shicheng to the death. If they were not satisfied, they would punish the soldiers, or even beat them to death, threatening others with their bloody lives.

Maintained control by means of terror.

Many generals firmly believe that if an army wants to be strong, it must be bloodthirsty... It is necessary to scare them at ordinary times, and to obey orders on the battlefield so as not to be defeated.

I don't know where I learned the art of war. Anyway, everyone in the army thinks this way.

What is sympathetic to the soldiers, and the top and bottom are of the same heart.

None of this exists.

What a joke, we are under the command of the prince, no matter what banner we are fighting, anyway, we are not comparable to you big soldiers!

If you are of one mind, you deserve it too!

Obviously, under Zhang Shicheng's command, generals and soldiers are completely two worlds.

During this period of time, the Ming army dispatched troops and generals in a posture of sweeping across Su and Song.
