First Minister of Ming Dynasty

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 ones are able to get together with their relatives. After getting to know each other, they hug each other, cry loudly, and tell each other the pain of parting.

While talking about the hardships of the war, the near death, how to escape by luck, how to miss the relatives, if you talk about it, you will cry for a while.

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

The village community was organized, the floods were cured, and food was grown.

"Let's go home. We have white flour at home. Let's bake big pancakes and steam steamed buns. We won't be hungry anymore!"

The old people took the wanderer's arm and returned home with vicissitudes of pace.

As long as a couple successfully recognizes each other and returns home safely, people from all over the world will come to congratulate them and give them gifts.Some people insisted on seeing the demeanor of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition.

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

When did they become so popular?

Simply regarded as a hero?

As he continued to move forward, he finally understood that there were Daming preachers and theater 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 about the importance of recovering the homeland and restoring Yanyun.

Countless people knew these things for the first time, and they even had a different view of the Northern Expeditionary Army. They knew that they were heroes, and at least they had 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 dumbfounded, and then felt ashamed.

When they went to the Northern Expedition, when did they think about this?

I'm afraid that many generals may not know why the Northern Expedition?

Master Wang, who slandered the people and punished crimes, gradually became a bandit, and in the end he inevitably suffered a crushing defeat... What a shame!

Now I can only hope that Daming can recover his homeland and get back Yanyun!

Be sure to live up to it!

In the direction of Shandong, the front line of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

After Xu Da received Feng Guoyong's urgent report, he was overwhelmed with emotion.

First, Feng Guoyong's progress was smooth, and as a general, he couldn't help but feel a sense of comparison.Second, the movement in Guanzhong further illustrates the weakness of the Yuan army, and the fighter is right in front of us, so don't miss it!

"Superintendent, when the army entered the pass, Li Siqi fled in embarrassment, had nowhere to go, and finally surrendered. Wang Baobao was still in Shanxi, and he did not save his troops. It can be seen that the Yuan court is at the end of its rope and the reinforcements are cut off. At this time, it is time to take advantage of the situation and go north. Dadu is close at hand!"

Zhang Ximeng pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, pass the order, the whole army goes north!"

Xu Da was overjoyed, and immediately ordered to beat the drums and gather the generals!

The drums are rumbling and the morale is high.

Chang Yuchun, Hu Dahai, Hua Yun, Wu Zhen...the mighty generals of the Ming army gathered together.

Outside the military tent, the flags were flying, like the rays of the sun and like blood, bright red, with no end in sight.

Xu Da was dressed in armor and had a formidable atmosphere.

"Pass down my general order, Chang Yuchun and Hu Dahai, divide up the vanguard and horses, go north immediately, collect Hebei prefectures and counties, and go straight to Dadu!"

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

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

Both of them had big black faces, but at this moment, their complexions turned purple because of the rush of blood.

"In the battle of recovery, you can only move forward, and you are not allowed to retreat! If you don't return to your homeland, you will never die with peace!" Hu Dahai said to Chang Yuchun with clenched fists.

Chang Yuchun laughed loudly, "That's right, Brother Hu hasn't touched a single drop of alcohol these years, and when we get to Dadu, we must have a good drink, and get drunk!"

Hu Dahai took a deep breath and finally nodded.

"Okay, I should go!"

Two people got on their horses, each led the troops, and marched separately.

The red flag is unfurled, and the crowd is like a dragon.

Chang Yuchun led the army, first captured Dezhou, then marched again, took Cangzhou and Qingzhou, and three days later, they conquered Jinghai.

Seeing Chang Yuchun marching into the army, it was like a fierce tiger.

Totally a treat.

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

After all, even walking north, it is not so fast.

This group of yuan troops is simply pinched and vulnerable.

Because the march 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 quite attentive, and she could even be said to be excellent. Jiang Nan not only used civilian husbands, but also contracted a large number of merchants.

For example, let a certain merchant be responsible for transporting the designated 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 materials from the north and the south are unblocked. imagination.

Although everything should be fair, it is only natural to contribute to the court and get some convenience.

Jiang Nan is very good at using these little tricks to achieve his goals.

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

With sufficient guarantee ahead, Chang Yuchun marched faster.

In contrast, Hu Dahai was no less impressive. From another direction, he collected Hejian, Xiongzhou, and went straight to Bazhou.

With such two ruthless people at the booth, the Yuan Dynasty was considered unlucky.

The front line was defeated one after another, there was a lot of mourning, and there was no good news at all.

Zhang Ximeng observed the speed of the advance and watched piece after piece of land being incorporated into the territory, especially after seeing Xiongzhou and Bazhou, Zhang Ximeng suddenly became energetic.

"Ma'am, hurry up and prepare the horses, I, I want to go north!"

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

Zhang Ximeng was speechless, boy, did I become a troublemaker?

"Ma'am, look, what is this place? Don't you know why I'm going there?"

Jiang Nan was startled for a moment, then looked over, she suddenly said: "This is the Juma River, cross the Juma River, that 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! It has not been collected for 300 years at the end of Zhao and Song Dynasties!"

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

"Okay, I'll get ready now!"

When the carriage was ready, Zhang Ximeng had already packed a small package, which contained 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 in too.

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

Zhang Ximeng had no choice but to agree.

Under the protection of the guards, the husband and wife hurried on their way.

Zhang Xiang suddenly went north, everyone was shocked, why are you joining in the fun, if something happens, we can't bear the responsibility!

Xu Da even led his generals to chase after him.

They chased to the front of a big river, and found Zhang Ximeng wrapped in a cloak, facing the north of the river, smiling happily.

Xu Da hurried over, looked at Zhang Ximeng, and then said in a low voice, "Sir, what is this?"

Zhang Ximeng turned his head and saw Xu Da, couldn't help but took his arm, walked forward quickly, stepped on the sand and stones by the river, and stretched out his finger to the north.

"That is Yanyun Sixteen States!"

Xu Da was startled, and Zhang Ximeng added: "Crossing this river, our Ming Dynasty will surpass Zhao Song!"

Xu Da was heartbroken, and murmured: "Sir, is this writing the annals of history?"

Chapter 557 No one looks down on the Great Song Dynasty

"That's right, no matter how time passes, the merits of recovery will last for thousands of years. The prestige of the general will conquer the world! Today, as long as I cross the Juma River and enter the land of Yanyun, I will surpass Zhao Song! "

"Next, we will surpass the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Qin and Han Dynasties, and re-establish the peak of China, a peak that future generations will look up to!"

Zhang Ximeng's voice was high-pitched, his spirits were high, and he wished he could take the lead in crossing the river in the next second and rush straight over.

If he is like this, let alone Xu Da.

And Xu Da has already experienced this kind of thing, how could he neglect it again?

So he hurriedly asked the generals around him to stop Zhang Ximeng, then Xu Da turned around and shouted loudly: "Prepare the boats, I want to cross the river myself!"

The subordinates moved after hearing the news and hurriedly found the ship.

Xu Da couldn't wait, boarded the boat himself, turned around and said, "Is there any wine?"

Lan Yu, who was ordered to find the boat, laughed and said, "Don't worry, General, I'm ready!"

Xu Da looked at this young man meaningfully, he is not bad, sensible!

Just for this move, I will give you a chance to make meritorious service!

When the boat reached the center of the river, Xu Da lifted the wine jar, tore open the cover, and the rich aroma of wine came to his face.

Without hesitation, Xu Da poured a jar of wine into the turbid stream.

"Grandpa Zong, when you were about to die, you shouted to cross the river. Did you ever think that our soldiers in the armed forces could cross the Juma River today? You can rest in peace!"

Xu Da threw down a jar of wine, and then grabbed another jar.

"Marshal Yue, you have made several Northern Expeditions, but it is a pity that your success has failed. The Hunjun has already knelt in front of your grave. Now let us complete your last will, the Northern Expedition! Recover Yanyun, expel the Hulu! Bring peace to the land of China!"

"By the way, there is also Prime Minister Wen. When Yuan soldiers escorted you to Dadu, you never surrendered. You are strong and strong, and you will shine forever! Now we are here, and we welcome the heroes to return home!"

"There are countless sages, my Chinese descendants, great Ming Jianer, can finally be worthy of their ancestors and themselves!"

Xu Da grabbed the last jar of wine, tore off the cover, poured a big gulp into his mouth, and then raised his weapon high.

"Follow me to kill!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the boat to dock, Xu Da took a vigorous step, stepped on the knee-deep river, rushed to the opposite bank, and set foot on solid ground.

Seeing this scene, many soldiers realized that our great general was also a ruthless person who rushed to the front of the battle, put on his strength, and did his part.

It's just that there are more soldiers and horses now, and they have to stay behind to control the overall situation, but it's not like they can't charge forward and kill the enemy bravely.

Lan Yu's eyes were also red, she carried a long knife, and chased Xu Da to land.

Behind them, there are hundreds of Ming troops. The big guys are fighting bravely to be the first, and they can't wait to set foot on the land on the north bank.

This is the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and this is the place where countless people with lofty ideals have dreamed of for hundreds of years!

today!

we are coming!

On the Juma River, everyone scrambled to be the first, which made Zhang Ximeng's heart itch, and wanted to follow the others several times.

Fortunately, apart from a few generals, Jiang Nan was watching.

"Master, don't make any trouble, we're not short of a day and a half."

Zhang Ximeng shook his head again and again, "You don't understand! It's a long distance in a short period of time. I see what Xu Da means, this guy may be able to rush to Dadu in half a day!"

Jiang Nan blinked, not to mention, Xu Da has that kind of energy.

However, Jiang Nan also upholds his duty and resolutely keeps an eye on Zhang Ximeng.

It was not until half a day later that the Ming army built a pontoon bridge with wooden boxes and crossed the river in a large scale, and Zhang Ximeng was able to cross the Juma River.

Sure enough, Xu Da has long since disappeared.

Zhang Ximeng was eager to try, and wanted to get on the horse, so he went straight after him.

But Jiang Nan stuck to his cloak tightly, and reminded in his ear: "Don't take Xu Da's prize. You should think about it honestly, how to manage it in the future! The land of Yanyun, We have been away for hundreds of years, the customs are different, and the hearts of the people are no longer there. I am afraid that you will not be able to keep it if you just shoot it down. You need some refreshments."
