First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 277: strike across the board

Ni Wenjun is dead.

As one of the Big Three in the Southern Region, it is impossible for his death not to affect the overall situation.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang knew the news earlier than Zhang Shicheng. It seems that this is nonsense. With the current intelligence capabilities of the Zhu Family Army, it will definitely crush any party.

However, the killing of Ni Wenjun still shocked Lao Zhu, forcing him to summon all the civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures together.

Zhu Jiajun's territory was much larger than before, and people came from all directions one after another in Jiangnan and Huaixi.

At the same time, more and more news came from Tianwan. Gradually, the causes and consequences of Ni Wenjun's death have been clearly outlined...

Ni Wenjun was brave and invincible since childhood, known as a barbarian. When his mother gave birth to him, she dreamed of a white tiger, so from the beginning, it was doomed to be a ruthless man.

But like almost all **** ruthless men, there are times when heroes end.

Ni Wenjun can not escape this law.

After his attack was frustrated, he returned to the country, and at the same time, Hongdu was lost again. .

There were more and more accusations against him by all parties, and for a time Ni Wenjun was very disgusted with dogs.

He is not a person who is good at winning people's hearts, nor is he someone who can turn the tide in the face of adversity.

In fact, Ni Wenjun chose the most smelly move, and he decided to replace it.

Don't you all blame me?

Lao Tzu killed Xu Shouhui and became the emperor himself, whoever dared to scold me would deceive the emperor, and then he would kill your nine clans! He Ni Wenjun did not fear the emperor, but he wanted to use the authority of the emperor to restore his status. I have to say that the brain is a good thing, but it's a pity that Ni Wenjun ran out.

He decided to kill Xu Shouhui, the plan was perfect, the first step failed, his subordinates did not agree at all, the old man of Peng Dang acted quickly, all forces, cooperated with Xu Shouhui, and worked together, Ni Wenjun was defeated.

Losing a foothold in Hanyang, he had to escape from Hanyang and head to Huangzhou, where he wanted to gather his old troops in Huangzhou and return to Hanyang.

Even on the way to escape, Ni Wenjun was still calm.

When he saw a meteor falling, he thought it was an auspicious omen, and shouted: "I don't know who the official person is, and he died in my hands!"

It is worth mentioning that before this, his wife dreamed of a white tiger again.

Ni Wenjun rushed to Huangzhou, but he forgot one thing. Although Huangzhou is his old clan, the leader of these old clans is called Chen Youliang!

Ni Wenjun had seized Chen Youliang's military power and arranged him in Huangzhou.

How could he know that he had prepared a knife for himself.

Chen Youliang pretended to greet Ni Wenjun, and then when he was outside the city, he ambushed and killed Ni Wenjun and his entourage.

This is not enough, and it has wiped out Ni Wenjun's whole family, including Ni's mother who dreamed of the white tiger twice!

The old lady sat upright, her face as usual, but smiled lightly: "My son Barbarian has the heart to devour the Lord, and has already died. Chen Youliang has a journey of devouring the Lord, how can it last for a long time?"

Chen Jun was annoyed and chopped the old woman into minced meat...

In fact, Ni Wenjun has been crazy for a long time, and there is nothing wrong with killing him, and he will applaud inside Tianwan.

But Chen Youliang attacked too hard, not only killed Ni Wenjun, but also his entire family, including his cronies and entourage, did not escape the butcher knife.

Heavenly Father kills Heavenly Brother, and the country cannot get through.

Youliang is not the rightful master, and still belongs to Duke Zhu!

Up to now, the undercurrent is already turbulent in Tianwan, and the waves are turbulent...

At this juncture, the main civil and military officers of the Zhu family gathered in Jinling, above the handsome mansion.

Almost everyone arrived.

Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Hu Dahai, Feng Guoyong stationed in Yangzhou, Peng Zaozhu stationed in Sizhou, Huayun, Fei Ju, Lu Zhongheng, Tang Shengzong, Wu Zhen, Wu Liang, and also the instructor Guo Xing, Gongwei Division Commander Guo Ying.

In addition, Kang Maocai, who was in charge of the farmland, the Liao brothers of the navy, and the Yu family father and son... The big guys were all together, greeting each other, laughing loudly with each other, and unscrupulous.

On the other side, both Jia Lu and Zhu Sheng, who participated in politics, have come. Recently, Jia Lu is not in good health. He has been resting in bed for a long time. If it is not important, he will not come at all.

Of course, among the ministers, Li Shanchang, the left minister, and Zhang Ximeng, the right minister.

The left minister ruled over six officials, lined up in a row.

Under the right-hand minister, there are the Academy, the Taixue, and the officials of the Yiying Yamen, all of them are listed.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang's brother-in-law, Li Zhen, came.

Just as the big guys were chatting and laughing, Zhu Yuanzhang, dressed in military uniform, stepped into the lobby. Almost instantly, everyone closed their mouths, respectfully, and stood with their hands down.

Lao Zhu took a big step and walked to the middle, and he couldn't help but look to both sides, civil servants and generals, brilliant stars, heroes of the world, all in the palm of his hand!

Zhu Yuanzhang was full of pride. Who would have thought that a few years ago, he was a poor boy who was a beggar and a monk, but a few years later, he would command thousands of troops and horses.

This year is the seventeenth year of Zhizheng, and it is also the second year of the Wu Kingdom of China.

It has been more than four years since Zhu Yuanzhang developed independently.

Every moment, the power grows and the power expands. This kind of taste makes Zhu Yuanzhang addicted to it... He is like a hard-working farmer, carefully tending the crops in the field.

Now that he sees the growth gratifying, he is elated.

"Everyone sit down!"

Lao Zhu looked at both sides with a smile on his face, "Zhu Canzheng, Ni Wenjun is dead, if the end of the day is over, you can talk about it!"

The first person to be called was actually Zhu Sheng.

This also makes sense. As the proponent of the nine-character mantra, Zhu Sheng is above the overall situation and has unique insights.

"In the upper position, Ni Wenjun is arrogant and domineering, and his death is right. But if Chen Youliang commits the following crimes and kills his benefactor, he will surely provoke public anger. In addition to his shallow foundation, I am afraid that those old officials will hate Chen Youliang even more. There must be a fight until it is decided who takes the lead!"

With just a few words, Zhu Sheng analyzed Tian Wan's situation clearly.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Should we launch an army against Tianwan?"

"I think it's not possible for the time being." Zhu Sheng said: "At the moment, there are still hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and all the fierce generals are there. If they kill them rashly, they will let them give up their previous grudges and fight the enemy together. What's more, we have not accumulated enough. Fa swallows the power of Tianwan in one bite, if you are caught in a fierce battle, even if you can win, it will deplete your vitality, which is not conducive to the next thing."

As soon as the monarch and minister asked and answered, they had already denied the idea of ​​attacking Tianwan and taking advantage of the fire.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Ximeng stood up and said with a smile: "My lord, the sky is full and chaotic, and the time is not ripe for the time being. Zhang Shicheng is full of fat, just in time to start! Moreover, Zhang Shicheng's heart is fluctuating, and the military's heart is turbulent. , has gradually lost people's hearts. At this time, we will use troops against Zhang Shicheng, seize the rich land, enrich our strength, recharge our strength, and accumulate strength. After three or two years of accumulation, our army will be invincible and run rampant in the world!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but cheer up.

They all understood what Zhang Ximeng meant. The battle was going well, and in another two or three years, the Zhu family's army would be on the way to the world and the Central Plains.

Who would dare to believe that a group of mud-legged people who came out of the Huaixi countryside could have today?

I don't even dare to write like this in the script, we are legends and history!

The presence of Wenwu couldn't help but his eyes were shining, his fighting spirit was high, and he was three points more excited than just now.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with satisfaction, and then he glanced at Li Shanchang again.

"Mr. Li, if we are going to use troops, will it delay political affairs?"

Li Shanchang quickly stood up and bowed to the ground.

"In the upper position, the Qingzhang in Changxing and other places has completed 70%, and the Qingzhang in other places is still continuing. The people's emotions are enthusiastic and their hearts are excited. The places where the land has been granted can produce more than 200,000 people. The minister will definitely do his best, The important affairs of Qingzhang will not be delayed, and the supply of military supplies will not be wrong... If you can't handle these two things, the minister is willing to take the blame!"

As long as Li Shanchang works hard, his ability is comparable to Xiao He, and everyone has no doubts.

Zhu Yuanzhang received the support of three ministers in a row, and he couldn't stop smiling.

"If that's the case, we're welcome!"

He stood up abruptly, "Zhang Shicheng, this beast, betrayed the rebel army, accepted the imperial court's order, and became the captain of the Tartars. Let's punish the people and destroy this beast first!"

"Peng live early, Miao Daheng!"

The two people who had not been mentioned for a long time stood up immediately, Peng Zaozhu bowed deeply, "Please instruct me!"

"You lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, set out from Sizhou, attack Baoying, and threaten Gaoyou!"

Peng Zaozhu immediately agreed, "Yes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at brothers Feng Guoyong and Feng Guosheng again.

"How many people are there in Yangzhou today?"

"There are more than 50,000 people!" Feng Guoyong replied loudly: "Up, there are nearly 500,000 people in Yangzhou City, and most of them are in workshops. It is easy to mobilize, and 70,000 people can be assembled to help the battle! "

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Feng Guoyong would not brag, that the mobilization ability of the city was indeed far higher than that of the countryside.

"Okay, then you will lead the Yangzhou army and capture the land of Taizhou."

The two brothers nodded immediately.

The battle in Jiangbei was properly arranged.

According to Zhang Ximeng and Lao Zhu's vision, the focus is on Jiangnan and Hangzhou!

But the thing about war has always been true and false, false and true.

The full attack from the northern front was just enough to mobilize Zhang Shicheng's troops and test his strength. Zhu Yuanzhang planned to attack all the way.

"Chang Yuchun!"

"The minister is here!"

When Lao Zhu named him by name, this man's voice was full of joy. He was a militant who didn't fight for a day and felt uncomfortable.

"Please instruct me!"

"You lead two battalions of soldiers and horses to attack Jiangyin. How many days will you take us down?"

"Ten days!" Chang Yuchun said simply: "Within ten days, if Jiangyin cannot be won, this head will be in the top!"

"Okay!" Old Zhu said happily, "Sure enough, I'll do as you say!"

"Hu Dahai, we will also give you two battalions to attack Wuxi, can you be sure?"

"Yes! I only need eight days!"

The two also called on the board, and Chang Yuchun rolled his eyes with anger.

Zhu Yuanzhang just nodded when he saw it.

Then he looked at Xu Da, "How many troops and horses do you need to take Huzhou?"

After thinking about it seriously, Xu Da replied, "I'm afraid it will take 80,000 elite soldiers!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "We will give you 100,000, only to win, not to lose!"

Xu Da couldn't help being shocked, "Chen... obey!"
