First Minister of Ming Dynasty

What is the pattern?

What is height?

This is already standing on the roof of the world and singing loudly!

Don't care what you say about great Confucianists and learned scholars, they all seem insignificant in front of these grand theories, and they are not worth mentioning.

When Zhang Ximeng discussed the defeat of the Yuan Dynasty with the big guys, he proposed a sixteen-character slogan, and when it came to offering sacrifices to Zongze, Song Lian wrote the composition.

Liu Bowen felt that he had reached the limit and could not go higher.

Who knew that in just a few days, Zhang Ximeng started a new job!

"Zhang Xiang, I, I want to write it down quickly, so that Brother Jing Lian and the others can see it!" Liu Bowen hurriedly looked for a pen, as if he was possessed.

Zhang Ximeng stopped him with a smile.

"Mr. Bowen, this is just talk, and it is still thousands of miles away from realizing it!"

Liu Bowen shook his head, "No! It is man-made. If Zhang Xiang can say it, it is enough to be sanctified immediately. The rest is to continue to implement it."

Zhang Ximeng nodded and said: "Indeed! It's easy to say, but hard to do... This is what I just said. I hope that when the world is unified, I can really travel all over the country, solve the chieftain problem, and win the hearts of the people in the southwest!"

Liu Bowen didn't hesitate at all, and immediately said: "If I was still alive at that time, I would definitely go to the southwest, and leave this bone in the southwest, and I would be willing to die without regret!"

For Liu Bowen, he is not afraid of hard work, not even death... He is the kind of person who got rid of vulgar interests very early.He was unwilling to betray Yuan Ting because he couldn't pass the level of the second minister and the thief.

Then Zhang Ximeng opened up his heart knot with a higher pattern, and Liu Bowen devoted himself to serving Zhu Jiajun.

But this time, a longer-term picture was revealed, and Liu Bowen also had the urge to risk everything, even his own life.

Of course, in order to achieve great things, in addition to ambition, one must also have wisdom and methods.

"Recruit these Miao soldiers, train them, and educate them...as long as they can accept our proposition and are willing to act as our vanguard. In an instant, we have tens of thousands of warriors who will never hesitate to solve the chieftain problem in Huguang, Yunnan and other places. Got a grip."

Liu Bowen nodded vigorously, and said excitedly, "This is the secret of Zhang Xiang tacitly allowing Sun Yan to pay a lot of money to buy Yang Tongguan!"

Zhang Ximeng sighed softly, "I'm really afraid of missing out on this army. This is a god-given opportunity. But people like Yang Tongguan will definitely not accept our proposition. After recruiting them, we still have to focus on ordinary soldiers. Water drips through the stone, and the iron pestle grinds into a needle, even if it is a stone, it will be warmed up by me!"

Liu Bowen clapped his hands and laughed, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, leave this matter to me and Brother Jing Lian, we will try our best to explain it clearly to them. There are still many scholars in the Academy, and there are also scholars in the school... Let them Do it, and I won’t graduate anyone who doesn’t want to do it!”

Liu Bowen made the ultimate move, Zhang Ximeng couldn't help laughing.

It really is wonderful!

Just wait for the movement from Sun Yan!

But what Zhang Ximeng and Liu Bowen didn't know was that something that was obviously no longer suspenseful turned out to be a side issue.

A letter of decree sent by Yuan Ting was placed in front of Yang Tongguan.

From the perspective of time, when the decree was issued, Zhuji had not even been breached.

Yuan Ting promoted Yang Tongguan to You Cheng and General Hussars of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces. Da Yuan respected the right, and You Cheng was already higher than Shi Mo Yisun.He became the highest official of Yuan Ting in Zhejiang Province.

Even in terms of power, Zhang Shicheng has to be suppressed, even if Zhang Shicheng has the title of Taiwei, that doesn't work.

Moreover, Yuan Ting also bestowed Yang Tongguan as "Yang Wanzhe" on the grounds of "restraining all loyalty and righteousness", which probably means that he is Yuan Ting's perfect man in Zhejiang!

Yuan Ting's intentions are now clearly revealed.

They are trying to keep their last hope in Jiangnan. After all, this is the most affluent half of the country. Even if it is bound to be lost, Yuan Ting will have to struggle!

Facing Yuan Ting's reward, Yang Tongguan... No, it's Yang Wanzhe!

He struggled unprecedentedly, should he surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang, or continue to serve the Yuan court?

"General, to tell you the truth, I have been in Zhu's Army, and I know their habits. Don't look at them spending a lot of money now, but after they succeed, they will definitely rectify the Miao soldiers, even divide the land evenly, and get rid of all the generals. Zhu's Army A soldier who claims to be a poor man. Others surrendered to the Zhu family army, and maybe they can become a rich man. The general is afraid that his head will fall, and he will not even be able to keep his family business!"

At the critical moment, Luo Guanzhong gave Yang Wanzhe a fatal blow!

"So, I can only fight with Zhu Jiajun!"

Yang Wanzhe thought it over and over again, and then said to Luo Guanzhong: "You tell Taiwei Zhang immediately, I will send troops to recover Zhuji, let him send troops to attack Zhenjiang, and we will join hands to fight to the end for Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"it is good!"

Luo Guanzhong let out a long breath, "I'm going to write a letter now!"

"Wait... tell Taiwei Zhang again that he has no food, and ask him to send me 5 taels of silver...he won't refuse this money, will he?"

Luo Guanzhong was startled, gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "I will do my best, and Taiwei Zhang must send it here!"

Luo Guanzhong left, Yang Wanzhe thought over and over again, and finally made up his mind to call his uncle Yang Zhengren and others to arrange the battle.

And Luo Guanzhong's letter was also delivered to Zhang Shicheng. After reading it, Zhang Shicheng let out a sigh of relief, and immediately called his younger brother Zhang Shide over.

"Tell me, is it easy to fight Zhenjiang?"

Zhang Shicheng's face immediately darkened, "Brother, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Geng Zaicheng to guard Zhenjiang. This man is mature and prudent, and he is very difficult to deal with... But as long as my brother orders, I will take the lead and take it down for him!"

Zhang Shicheng rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled, "Brother is very ambitious, but you don't need to work so hard... You lead the troops to the south, and when Yang Wanzhe sends troops out of the city, take Hangzhou for me!"

"What? He, isn't he our ally?" Zhang Shide didn't understand his brother's thinking at all.

Zhang Shicheng sneered and said, "What kind of ally is he? Originally, I wanted to recruit him and let him lead the way for us. But he became angry and didn't want to give me this face. He even got a reward from the Yuan court and became a Zhejiang traveler." You Cheng of the province climbed onto my head. Yuan Ting is also interesting, and even gave him the title of finisher! Well, I will let him finish now!"

Zhang Shide was stunned for a moment, and immediately stretched out his thumb, "Brother, good advice!"

Chapter 219 It's Over

Zhang Shicheng is indeed very tall, as tall as several floors.

Now Lao Zhang has realized his strategic mistake, he chose Huaidong land, the problem is that further east of this land is the sea.

He crossed the river and captured Pingjiang Mansion, but the problem was that to the west was Zhu Yuanzhang's Jinling.

Zhang Shicheng is like a cat who got into a pipe, lost the room for development, and can only watch Zhu Yuanzhang gobble up and grow rapidly. If this continues, he will be stewed by Zhu Yuanzhang sooner or later.

Therefore, the stalemate must be broken, and if Hangzhou is captured, then they will have the capital to continue going south, and they will be able to threaten Zhu Yuanzhang from the flanks, and they may be able to make a dead game alive.

As for Yang Wanzhe, I'm sorry, you Miao soldiers don't listen to us, so you don't have to be polite!

Black eats black, it depends on the level of means, you are not brains enough, can you blame me?

Zhang Shicheng was righteous and confident, and felt that he was too wise.

But under Zhang Shicheng's subordinates, someone also saw the problem, and this person was Shi Naian!

"Your Highness, don't be like this. Just accepting Zhao'an and immediately rebelling, I'm afraid it will cause people's hearts to fluctuate and the army's morale will be unstable!"

Zhang Shicheng smiled, "Sir, you are too careful. We accept Zhao'an, who doesn't know that it is an expedient measure? What's more, Yang Wanzhe is just a Miao soldier, not a direct descendant of the Yuan Dynasty. Shi Mo Yisun, I didn't make trouble. Not only did I not, but I also led the people to pay homage, which is considered to be affectionate and righteous to the Yuan court.. In this kind of troubled times, you harm me, I harm you, intrigues, intrigues, isn't it common?"

Shi Naian couldn't help sighing secretly... This seems to be true, it is true in troubled times, but how many people who can end the troubled times and rule the world are despicable, shameless, ruthless, and ruthless , U-turn betrayed?

Among the founding kings, Liu Bang was not of high quality, and some of his actions were indeed excessive, but would he dare to backstab his allies casually?

Calculations had to use tricks, and there were good reasons for that.

But Zhang Shicheng, who is completely selfish and ruthless, how can he rule the world?

Why do most emperors pursue orthodoxy, pay attention to fame, and learn from teachers who are famous... After all, the world belongs to the people of the world, not just one or two people who can cover the sky with one hand.

For a tycoon in the entrepreneurial stage, once his reputation is bad, how can he attract talents and grow his team?

And if a superior is used to betrayal, will his subordinates be loyal?

Once betrayal became a habit, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This is not a question of being pedantic or not. Zhang Shicheng has just put in a lot of effort to join the Yuan court, accept Zhao'an, and resolve the conflict with Fang Guozhen.

How many days have passed?

Without even giving him any time to react, he immediately backstabbed Yang Wanzhe, who is also a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty, this turn was too hasty, too fast, and did not give the people below him time to adapt.

If things go on like this, big things will happen. The subordinates will not take rebellion seriously, and there will be fewer and fewer people who can be trusted. In the end, I am afraid that only a few brothers of the Zhang family will be left... At that point, why should we fight? Xiong Tianxia?

Shi Naian didn't dare to point it out directly, he could only try his best to persuade, "His Royal Highness, Zhu Yuanzhang's momentum is too strong, if Yang Wanzhe really wants to fight with Zhu Yuanzhang, why don't we help him? If we can hit Zhu Yuanzhang hard, our situation will be better then. a lot of."

"Hahaha!" Zhang Shicheng burst into laughter suddenly, "Sir, you are an honest man! As the saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, but you must have the heart to guard against others. Is this the previous sentence...I admit, I have the heart to hurt others. But Then again, he, Yang Wanzhe, has no intention of harming me! If he wins Zhu Yuanzhang, it will definitely be bad for me. If Zhu Yuanzhang captures Hangzhou, it will be even more serious. And enter, take Hangzhou, the safest thing!"

After listening to Zhang Shicheng's high-level remarks, Shi Naian was speechless.

Although Shi Naian doesn't understand game theory, Zhang Shicheng's idea is still very reasonable.Especially when he felt that everyone thought the same as him, attacking Hangzhou was really the best choice.

Even to the point where Shi Naian couldn't say anything, it's not too reasonable, but Shi Naian couldn't point his nose and scold Zhang Shicheng, you are a villain, if you look at the world with your eyes, there is nothing wrong villain's!

To put it bluntly, the structure determines everything, Zhang Shicheng stands so high, what do you ask him to do?He is also very embarrassed!

Shi Naian had no choice but to leave angrily.

It's just that when he came out, he realized one thing... It's broken. His apprentice is still in Hangzhou. Zhang Shicheng decided to sneak attack, but he didn't remind his apprentice that Luo Guanzhong is still in Hangzhou. Isn't this about killing someone?

Shi Naian was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and he wanted to persuade Zhang Shicheng, but he was afraid that it would be impossible. He wanted to save Luo Guanzhong, but he couldn't do anything... Such a good boy, a young man with a bright future, if he died at the hands of Yang Wanzhe In his hand, the loss would be huge!

Shi Naian summoned, but didn't know that another person was more anxious, and that was Sun Yan.

He spent so much money, he thought he could succeed, but Yuan Ting stepped in, Yang Wanzhe became a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and he wanted to send troops to fight Lao Zhu to death, what should he do?

Will he be caught and his head sacrificed to the flag?

Just when Sun Yan was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, someone came suddenly.

"Sir, come with me!"

"You, who are you?"

"Don't worry about it, it's not harming you anyway... Our general is about to arrest you, and I came here ahead of time."

After saying a word, the man dragged Sun Yan outside, and when he came out, he heard hurried footsteps.

"It's broken, people are here, go through the back door!"

He pulled Sun Yan, ran out from the back door, got into a carriage, and ran out quickly.As soon as they left, Yang Wanzhe's men chased after them.

Just in time, the person in charge of catching people rushed to the chair, touched it with his hand, and there was still warmth!

"Chase!"

They chased them out resolutely, but Sun Yan was also helpless, he didn't know where to run.

Fortunately, the one who came here was very experienced, and took Sun Yan to change carriages three times, and finally rushed to the gate of the city.

"What are you doing?" someone asked.

The man snorted coldly, "Are you blind? This is Old General Yang's car. Go outside to make incense."

The gatekeeper still wanted to see it, so he moved closer to the car... The man sneered, "I'll open the car curtain now, you can watch it as you like! But let me remind you, this is a new concubine of Old General Yang. , Offended her, you can't afford to walk around!"

"what!"

But the gatekeeper was frightened. It is well known that Old General Yang likes women. He married one not long ago, why did another one come here?

It's really old and strong!

Offended the old general's concubine, even the king of heaven and I couldn't save himself.

Don't say anything, let's go!

"Madam, go well. Madam is blessed and safe, and will give birth to a precious son early."

Sun Yan in the car almost scolded his mother.

I am male!

I have nothing to do with that old man!

But he can't do anything about it, Yang Zhengren likes female sex, everyone knows, and he still does what he likes, but in the end, it's called shooting himself in the foot, bear with it!

Sun Yan escaped from Hangzhou. After the man confirmed that there was no danger, he said to Sun Yan, "Sir, wait a moment, someone will come to meet you immediately. I have to go back through another door and reply to the old general."

As soon as this person left, someone came over immediately and continued to escape with Sun Yan.

Seamless connection, this efficiency is simply amazing.

They continued to take Sun Yan to meet another person.

This man was also a member of the Yang family, his name was Yang Tongtai, and he and Yang Wanzhe (Yang Tongguan) were cousins ​​of the same generation, and he was also one of the generals Sun Yan invited to go that day.

"Mr. Sun, I have offended you so much, please forgive me!"

Sun Yan also smiled helplessly, "My life is in your hands now, so I have nothing to say if you mess around with me. But I can remind you, my family has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, you really want to Can you beat it?"

"Ouch!"

Yang Tongtai waved his hands hastily, "Mr. Sun! Do you think we are all fools? It's not that my brother is obsessed with ghosts and insists on being a hero of the Yuan Dynasty. He is the finisher, but he made us all finish!"
