First Minister of Ming Dynasty

The Jiangnan Yuan Army decided to launch an offensive. In terms of time, they probably still gave the order of freedom. After all, the allocation of grain and grass, the requisition of civilians, the combat plan, the mobilization of soldiers... After this whole set, it will not be a month or two, it is absolutely impossible. of.

It's not unusual even to delay for three to five months.

It is very likely that when Tuotuo went south, he urged Jiangnan Yuanjun to cooperate, and until today, when Tuotuo was taken down, Jiangnan Yuanjun took action.

"Tutuo, Tutuo! The Great Yuan Dynasty has done this to you, so what are you doing for Yuan Ting's life?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply, slapped the table, angrily rushed to the top of his head.

Zhang Shicheng was already defeated, and he stayed in Gaoyou. This time, he was absolutely impossible for him to last a few months. At most ten days and eight days, you can get in, Zhang Shicheng will lose!

As long as Zhang Shicheng is resolved, hundreds of thousands of Yuan Ting will be collected by the way, and the entire Lianghuai will be occupied.

Once sitting on the land of Lianghuai, going down to the south of the Yangtze River and taking Shandong are all within easy reach.

The destruction of Yuan Court is just around the corner.

It can be said that the future is bright, and most of the dragon chairs are beckoning, and the peak of life is right in front of them.

But if this opportunity is missed, Zhang Shicheng will come back to life, recruit and accept rebellion, expand his strength, and sooner or later he will become a strong enemy.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understands the principle of killing without dying and turning into enemies.

Therefore, it is of great benefit to destroy Zhang Shicheng in one go.

Abandoning Gaoyou and rescuing Hezhou, the opportunity was lost, and the consequences would be great!

How to choose?

One of the biggest problems fell on Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulders again.

"Sir, can you say no more and see what we should do, can we have the best of both worlds?"

Zhang Ximeng furrowed his brows, "Master, the Jiangnan Yuan Army dispatched one hundred thousand people, and the Yangtze River navy team cooperated. Even if their fighting spirit is not strong, we have to divide the past 15,000 people, preferably 20,000 people, to be sure. . Yangzhou just won, at least 10,000 people can survive the scene, Gaoyou experienced 400,000 people besieged the city, want to re-encircle Gaoyou, how can it have 50,000 people, of which there will be 20,000 veterans... Thousands of people have scattered, Sizhou, Tianchang, Liuhe, Chuzhou, these places, there are not thousands of elites combined with tens of thousands of militias, don't want to hold on."

When the account was settled, Zhang Ximeng couldn't say anything anymore. Zhu Jiajun was still too few. In any case, he couldn't take care of it. He wanted all of them, but they all fell in vain.

So a decision must be made.

Chuzhou and other places are fundamental, and there can be no accidents.

Yangzhou has eaten it, and can't spit it out.

Gaoyou, Hezhou, which one should you choose?

"Mr. Which one do you think it should be?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled bitterly, "To be honest, I don't know."

"Why?"

"Because Hezhou has been in our hands for a few months and worked hard to achieve the current situation. As long as the summer grain harvest is completed in May and June this year, Hezhou will survive and will become a foundation comparable to Chuzhou. In any case. , Shouldn’t give up. But then again, hundreds of thousands of yuan are defeated by the court, Zhang Shicheng, the future enemy, and the benefits of salt, in any case, it is much bigger than Hezhou..." Zhang Ximeng sighed helplessly. "My lord, I'll be scolded, this decision can only be made by you. I am only responsible for the fruit of the lord's deliberation. I, I am just a humble public weapon!"

Zhang Ximeng lowered his head in silence. In fact, since getting along for more than two years, Zhang Ximeng has realized his flaws more than once...

Take the situation at hand, how to choose?

It is said that the power of two evils is the less, and the power of the two benefits is the heavier... In fact, this is a correct nonsense. If you can distinguish the seriousness from the seriousness, does it need to be entangled?

Moreover, facing this kind of problem, the experience of traversal cannot help Zhang Ximeng to make a correct judgment. On the contrary, it will interfere with Zhang Ximeng, which is why he cannot give the final advice.

The reason is not complicated... because history tells Zhang Ximeng that the Jiangnan Yuan army is vulnerable. History tells him that although Zhang Shicheng has a lot of problems, it is definitely not easy to provoke. Such a good opportunity, no matter how much you give, will be eliminated as soon as possible. Yes.

According to these two items, Zhang Ximeng is highly likely to choose to continue to deal with Zhang Shicheng, and allow the Yuan army to attack Hezhou, and wait for Zhang Shicheng to be resolved, and then to deal with the Yuan army. As for the situation at that time, he could not predict the situation.

From the point of view of the seriousness of the interests, it seems that this is the case.

But don't forget, reality is always an extremely complicated chaos.

After the Zhu Jiajun captured Hezhou, he once built beacon towers along the river, built water conservancy projects, and did many things. In order to support the project, he borrowed a lot of grain from the grain bank, and Zhu Yuanzhang also allocated a lot of materials from the warehouse in Chuzhou.

The current situation is a bumper harvest of summer grains in Hezhou. After paying taxes on grains normally, the grain bank is able to recover the loans and still have a small profit.

After paying the land tax with the people of the state, they also have enough rations.

Zhu Jiajun's financial situation will also be greatly improved. All in all, it is hello and me, hello everyone, so all the problems can be solved easily.

But but!

Once Hezhou was destroyed in the hands of the Yuan army, he could not harvest on time, could not fill the holes in the grain bank, and hundreds of thousands of people could not eat.

After Chuzhou people suffered huge losses in their interests, are they willing to fanatically support Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Jiajun?

It seems that the benefits here are big, but after careful analysis, it may not be the case.

It seems that there is not much connection there, but it is the stormy sea that is involved, which is enough to break the bones.

The situation is such a situation, you have to let Zhang Ximeng explain clearly what the situation is, he really doesn't have that ability.

Two people sat facing each other. After a full quarter of an hour, Lao Zhu suddenly hit his forehead with his hand and laughed: "Sir, in fact, we all have made a decision, don't you think?"

Zhang Ximeng shook up immediately and said, "The lord has decided to save...Hezhou?"

At this moment, Zhang Ximeng's heart touched his throat, no matter what the situation, like-minded people can always resonate. Common values ​​can even surpass blood kinship, surpass everything!

At this moment, it is to test whether Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng can communicate with each other and trust each other!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, stretched out his big hand, and patted Zhang Ximeng's shoulder. At this moment, both of them had a great sense of happiness. In the Boyazi period, mountains and flowing water.

Liu Xianzhu Longzhong meets Kong Ming, and Futian Wang Ba sees Wang Meng.

Ming Jun, Xian Chen, a good story from the ages belongs to yes.

"Mister said that we should not forget our original intention. When we were in Linhuai, we made it clear that we must strengthen the army and save the people. Today, hundreds of thousands of lives in Hezhou are all relying on us, but for our own hegemonic ambitions, we leave the lives and deaths of the people even though What can we do if we beat Zhang Shicheng? It's just the second Yuan Ting who doesn't care about the life and death of the people!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, he stood up, shook his armor, and said to Zhang Ximeng: "Mr., we are leaving now, Gaoyou and Yangzhou, everything must be finished by Mr. No matter what it looks like, We all believe in Mr.!"

Zhang Ximeng also stood up and met Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, his hands trembling slightly.

Even though he had analyzed so much, he also had a certain opinion in his heart, but letting Zhang Shicheng go, it still made him feel uncomfortable!

Not forgetting the original intention, it's easy to say, but how difficult is it to do it?

Perhaps hungry, only Zhu Yuanzhang is the kind of person who can do it forever!

"The lord rest assured, I must handle these matters properly, and the lord can just lead the troops without worry. After I handle it, I will also assist the lord. In this battle, we will win!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction, he could rest assured.

Immediately, Lao Zhu turned his head and walked outside.

At the door of the tent, a burly man with black face knelt there, tears in his eyes.

This person is Hu Dahai.

"High position, low position, low position, and the people of the state, thank you high position, the grace of survival!"

Bang bang bang!

Hu Dahai trembling with excitement.

Zhang Ximeng hurriedly arrived, and there was a crisis in Hezhou, which is impossible to hide.

In Lao Zhu's army, although the main generals were mainly in Haozhou and other places, Hezhou made more than 20% of the soldiers.

If Zhu Yuanzhang does not care about Hezhou and continues to use troops against Gaoyou, these people will not necessarily rebel, but there is no doubt that they will plant a deep thorn in their hearts that will never be pulled out!

How come Yuan Ting’s hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed because they were dismissed from Tutuo?

Where is the military discipline?

Didn't you care about the life and death of Da Yuan, the minister of the arm, the general of the society?

It's gone, it's really gone!

Under the stunned monarchs and officials, under the **** slaughter, in the face of **** examples... That cohesive force has long disappeared, and it is maintained by one person.

Compared with them, Jiangsu is so unbreakable.

Therefore, as soon as he left, the army of hundreds of thousands fell apart immediately.

In the same way, Zhu Yuanzhang will not abandon the Hezhou people, and the Hezhou soldiers are willing to serve Zhu Yuanzhang to the death! There are too many similar examples, so Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers will become stronger and stronger, unbeatable, undefeated, and ultimately will be able to sweep the world and become the king of troubled times.

After understanding this truth, I also understand why Zhu Yuanzhang dared to get rid of any illegal nobles, no matter how great the merits, how many old ministries there are, as long as they corrupt the national code, facing Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher's knife, they have no ability to resist, they can only be caught obediently. .

It's not that these people don't want to do things, but that Zhu Yuanzhang has unparalleled prestige in the army and among the people, and his power comes from the great slogan of each family!

After all, for thousands of years, there are too few emperors who can truly treat the people well, and Zhu Yuanzhang is the outstanding one!

"Hu Dahai, you run here to eavesdrop on the military situation and corrupt the military discipline. You will be fined thirty. After you save Hezhou, you will come to receive the punishment. Now you should immediately mobilize your subordinates and act as the frontliner, send troops, and rescue the State!"

Hu Dahai promised in a hurry, grinning just as he did.

"I can save Hezhou elders, even if I die, I am willing!"

After speaking, Hu Dahai turned and went down, mobilized the troops and horses of his headquarters, and set off quickly.

Zhu Yuanzhang also followed closely, Xu Da, Hua Yun, Fei Ju, Wu Zhen, these few who could fight, all left with Lao Zhu. There are not many people left for Zhang Ximeng.

Tang He was still stationed in Yangzhou, and Feng Guoyong was the only one left by Zhang Ximeng.

Fortunately, this is a well-known civic and martial artist, and Zhang Ximeng is also the most compatible with him.

"It's really a benevolent and brave person to go to save Hezhou! I can give up hundreds of thousands of people here, as well as the easy-to-reach Gaoyou City. Really deserve to be the current hero! We didn't follow the wrong person!" Feng Guoyong was extremely excited.

If there is no difficulty in choosing, everyone knows how to choose, what's so great about it?

Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior has truly won the respect of everyone.

But now there is a problem, just retreat like this and give up such a big benefit to Zhang Shicheng?

That's too cheap for him.

"I wonder if I can squeeze some oil from Zhang Shicheng?" Zhang Ximeng thought thoughtfully.

Feng Guoyong nodded immediately, full of interest.

"Mr. Zhang, this Zhang Shicheng is fat and oily, let alone the salt item, it is immeasurable!"

Zhang Ximeng deeply believes that the benefits of the salt in Lianghuai are not clear to anyone. Yuan Ting’s normal year ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ attracts 950,000 salt from Lianghuai every year. Perhaps everyone has no idea about this number. One hundred and fifty banknotes were collected in Yuan Ting’s conversion... and there were nearly one million citations in Lianghuai!

The great salt benefit is evident.

This was before the Red Scarf Uprising, and it was not considered private salt!

After all, Zhang Shicheng is a private salt dealer. He knows better than anyone how to make a fortune with private salt.

Regardless of the chaos of war right now, no matter what time the common people do not die, they will eat food and salt, and they will not decrease in the slightest.

In history, why did Zhang Shicheng fight with Zhu Yuanzhang for so many years, and the biggest reliance was salt profiteering!

At this time, Zhang Ximeng planned to tear off a piece of fat from Zhang Shicheng's hands.

"Sir, there is a man named Shi Nai'an who is tied down from the city and asks to see the superior!"

Zhang Ximeng's eyes lit up, he was here to beg for food...
