First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Hearing what he said, Sun Yan seemed to have realized something. He had already seen that these Miao soldiers were not monolithic, including their Yang family, who actually had a lot of small thoughts.

"Now that things are going on, what else can we do? Our superiors have tried our best, but you are not on the road, what can we do! Don't think that we can't beat you? You will soon learn how powerful the Zhu family army is. !"

Yang Tongtai's complexion changed suddenly, and his heart was beating wildly.

Of course he was afraid of the strength of the Zhu family's army. If people like himself left their hometowns and traveled thousands of miles, if they died in a foreign land and couldn't return, it would be too bad.

"Mr. Sun, I, let me tell the truth! I don't want to fight Zhu's army. I also know that this battle is impossible. Do you think I can surrender?"

Sun Yan chuckled, "Surrender? Okay, are you going to go there now? I'll contact you!"

"do not!"

Yang Tongtai hurriedly stopped Sun Yan, but he couldn't do that!

"Let's be honest, besides me, there are Yang Notice, Li Caifu, and Xiao Yu. We are marching in four directions. If I surrender rashly and provoke their attacks, I will be in trouble!"

After a little thought, Sun Yan understood this person's plan.

"I understand, you got me, it's quite a talisman? If you win, you will naturally take advantage of it. If you lose, just pretend to surrender. Are you really shrewd in this business?"

Yang Tongtai's mind was punctured, and his old face turned red, but he didn't want to change his mind.

"Mr. Sun, I am really wronged. Please understand my difficulties."

Yang Tongtai made people look at Sun Yan, and then set up camp, preparing to fight the Zhu family's army. Sun Yan was also helpless. He had no choice but to follow the army and had no way of escaping. Just one day, two days!

The soldiers and horses passed through Fuyang County, but just when Sun Yan thought that the battle was not far away, Yang Tongtai suddenly broke in, his expression changed, and he knelt down in front of Sun Yan.

"Mr. Sun, I, I am willing to surrender, please, please help me!"

Sun Yan was taken aback, "General Yang, don't you still want to fight Zhu's army? Why are you begging for mercy before fighting? Don't you have any conspiracy?"

Yang Tongtai wiped his tears and cried directly, "No, really not! It's all Zhang Shicheng's bastard who sent troops to Hangzhou... Yang, Yang Wanzhe, hanged himself!"

Sun Yan was startled suddenly, wouldn't this mean that soldiers never tire of deceit?Acting is not like this!

Is Zhang Shicheng one of us?Did he pretend to belong to Yuan Ting in order to help the superior?Otherwise, as long as you have a normal mind, you can't do this kind of thing?Isn't this handing over tens of thousands of Miao soldiers to us?

2 Chapter Twenty

Sun Yan couldn't figure out why Zhang Shicheng did this, but as Zhang Shicheng's younger brother, Zhang Shide knew very well what his brother was planning.

Zhang Shide led the army and approached Hangzhou secretly, but Yang Wanzhe didn't know it, and directly sent four armies, leaving the city empty.

And just after Yang Wanzhe's subordinate Miao soldiers left the city, immediately the gentry and aristocrats from Hangzhou contacted Zhang Shide, rushed to Hangzhou, and entered the city to eliminate Yang Wanzhe!

Now that the matter has come to this point, it becomes clear who did Yang Wanzhe's Miao soldiers offend?

As a guest soldier, they traveled thousands of miles from the southwest to Zhejiang, left their hometown, and entered a completely unfamiliar environment.

Originally, Yang Wanzhe's military discipline was not good, and the Yuan court's finances were exhausted, so they could not provide military equipment and food, so they had to find their own way.

What else can I think of?

Isn't it just blackmailing the people!

But when the people are exhausted, when the poor have nothing to squeeze, they can only reach out to the rich to ask for money.At this point, Yang Wanzhe also offended the most powerful force in Hangzhou City.

Logically speaking, they could also ask Zhu Yuanzhang to surrender and sell Yang Wanzhe to Zhu's army.

However, Lao Zhu's idea of ​​evenly dividing the land has touched the bottom line of the big family. They would rather die than invite Zhu's army. Isn't this inviting someone to dig their ancestral grave?

Is there such a stupid person?

There was no other way but to ask Zhang Shicheng to send troops over. .

Would Zhang Shicheng really think so much?

Maybe, but for Zhang Shicheng, what fascinated him the most was the huge commercial interests of Hangzhou City. With Hangzhou in his hands, the volume of foreign trade could more than double.

Trade, taxation, more money, more soldiers, more power, maybe one day, you will have the capital to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is Zhang Shicheng's logic, and it can't be said to be wrong, but there must be a lack of sufficient details. It will be extremely difficult to implement it, and it will probably be completely different.This is not surprising, Lao Zhu's strategy was conceived by Zhang Ximeng, refined by Jia Lu, refined by Zhu Sheng, perfected by Liu Bowen, and implemented by Li Shanchang and others... This is a complete system, and finally formed Lao Zhu's current structure .

Among the heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, no one had such a strong team of think tanks as Lao Zhu. It was logical that they could not beat Zhu Yuanzhang.

No, Zhang Shide led the soldiers and horses, and entered Hangzhou amidst cheers.

A group of rich merchants bowed, and gentry and celebrities knelt inside the city gate, waiting for Zhang Shide to come.

One of the leaders is Wang Jue, the biggest enemy businessman in Hangzhou City, and he holds dozens of big ships in his hands... how to describe him, he is probably like Chen Deng in Xuzhou!

"General Zhang, you are here! When you arrive, Hangzhou will have a blue sky!"

When Zhang Shide saw so many enthusiastic crowds, he was also very excited. The surname Zhu always regarded himself as a popular person, how great did he think it was?

Isn't this a matter of turning back and forth?

It's so easy!

"Please rest assured, the Miao soldiers have harmed our elders in Hangzhou. I lead the soldiers here, just to punish the people and punish the crimes, and to vent my anger on the big guys!"

"Okay! General Zhang is really a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, a teacher of kings!"

Wang Jue was also very satisfied, and hurriedly said: "General Zhang is here, the original mansion is the current residence of Yang Wanzhe."

Zhang Shide agreed, immediately led the troops, followed the guidance, and rushed to the government office.

But at this moment, Yang Wanzhe was really finished, he felt the disaster of extinction.

Zhang Shicheng, villain!You shameless villain!

Yang Wanzhe jumped and cursed, but what could he do, the Fourth Army had left the city, and he had less than 3000 soldiers and horses at hand now.

It is impossible to transfer troops back.

The wealthy households in the city are also turning against each other, with countless eyes staring at him, and if they want to escape from Hangzhou, they may not be able to do so.

He is really in a desperate situation, and it will be over soon!

How did things turn out like this?

He chose to accept Yuan Ting's reward and fight with Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, he couldn't accept Zhu Yuanzhang's set of ideas. His choice was not wrong!

The mistake is that Zhang Shicheng should not be chosen as an ally!

This ruthless, unscrupulous bastard, who can turn his face faster than a book, is struck by lightning!

Yang Wanzhe was so angry that he desperately wanted to find someone to vent.

And at this moment, Yang Wanzhe's elder brother, Yang Boyan (Boyan was also given the name) twisted a person and came to see Yang Wanzhe.

It was Luo Guanzhong!

Lao Luo is simply crazy, have you ever seen such a trick?He originally persuaded Yang Wanzhe to cooperate with Zhang Shicheng to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang. Everything went well, but Yang Wanzhe sent troops, and he just waited for Zhang Shicheng to cooperate, and the two sides joined forces to beat Zhu Yuanzhang!

But who knows, Zhu Yuanzhang is still not doing well, and the two are fighting among themselves first.

Zhang Shicheng sent troops directly to Hangzhou, but the worst thing was that he didn't notify Luo Guanzhong in advance.

After all, in Zhang Shicheng's view, how big is Hangzhou!

You, Luo Guanzhong, are dead or not, so what are you?

In this way, without knowing it, Lao Luo was brought up in front of Yang Wanzhe by Boyan.

"Brother, this bastard lied to us, cut him up first, and then call the brothers to fight that son of a bitch Zhang Shicheng!"

Luo Guanzhong really wanted to cry, he was abandoned by Zhang Shicheng, thanks to my loyalty to you, why did he treat me like this?

"General Yang, I've been wronged! I really have no other intentions, I'm all for your own good!"

"You fart!"

Yang Boyan raised his fist and gave Luo Guanzhong a good beating, until Luo Guanzhong's bones were almost broken.

Lao Luo was desperate, and his strong desire to survive made him try to explain while carrying Yang Boyan's output, "I really didn't lie to the general, it was all Zhang Shicheng, he is capricious, and I can see him clearly...General Yang, Your only way out now is to join Zhu, Zhu Yuanzhang!"

After Luo Guanzhong yelled this sentence, he suddenly felt that the world was wide open in an instant, and he had an idea.

"General Yang, I, I know Wu Guogong! I am an old friend with him, and I also know Zhang Youcheng. We will join Wu Guogong together. As long as Wu Guogong protects us, we don't have to be afraid of Zhang Shicheng anymore."

"Wu Guogong is a good man, he is talented and generous, he loves his subordinates, he is affectionate and righteous, and he will never betray his subordinates easily... Yes, come and join Wu Guogong!"

Snapped!

Before he finished speaking, Yang Boyan slapped Luo Guanzhong's mouth, "You still want to lie to us? Don't even think about it! I'll kill you!"

He kicked Luo Guanzhong twice in the stomach, and Lao Luo was so painful that he almost passed out, and his intestines probably broke.I am a scholar, do you need to treat me like this?

Yang Boyan was puzzled and drew out his knife, wanting to kill someone.

At this time, there was already a shout of killing outside, Zhang Shide led the soldiers and horses, and approached the government office more and more. Some Miao soldiers fought hard to resist, but their numbers were too small to support the internal cooperation.

The servants of those rich and powerful families all came out and joined the ranks of hunting down the Miao soldiers.

The whole city is about to boil.

Faced with this situation, Yang Boyan was also terrified, and hurriedly looked at his brother.

"My dear brother, what should we do? Let's run away?"

Yang Wanzhe smiled bitterly, "Run? Where can we go? Hangzhou is thousands of miles away from our hometown! I, I can never go back!"

Another hero at the end of the Yuan Dynasty has come to a dead end.

Yang Wanzhe also raised troops against Yuan Ting at first, but he soon found that he could not get along with the Red Turban Army, so he could only take his Miao soldiers and join Yuan Ting as a thug to kill the Red Turban Army.

During this period, his father was killed in battle, and too many fathers and fellow villagers were killed one after another.

But no matter how he died, Yang Wanzhe didn't feel regretful.

Even thought that this is the price that must be paid.

He was loyal to the Yuan court, and the Yuan Dynasty did not treat him badly. He rewarded high-ranking officials and gave him a new name. He was also willing to fight to the death for the Yuan Dynasty.

But who would have expected that he would be stabbed in the back by Zhang Shicheng, who was also a minister of the Yuan court!

At this moment, he thought of Shi Mo Yisun who had just died... Maybe this is his retribution?

If he had not watched Shi Moyisun die, but had sent troops decisively, perhaps he would not have come to this day.

All this is retribution!

"Brother, Mr. Luo is a talent, we are not only dying, why should we harm him!"

Yang Boyan was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what his brother meant, his eyes turned red, and he said stupidly: "Is it true that you can't go back?"

Yang Wanzhe did not speak, but leaned over to Luo Guanzhong who was on the ground and said, "Mr. Luo, if I surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang, wouldn't I become a repeat villain like Zhang Shicheng? I won't do this kind of person. You just now He said he wanted to join Wu Guogong. I can’t say right or wrong, but he’s better than Zhang Shicheng. You can choose your own path in the future!”

After Yang Wanzhe finished speaking, he took off a deer tendon rope, hung it on the beam of the house, and then hung himself on the beam.

Yang Boyan wanted to rescue his brother, but Ke Eryi thought that even if he survived, what else could they do?Let Zhang Shicheng be captured?

It is better to die.

Yang Boyan didn't dare to hang himself, he thought the tossing was too painful, so he just touched his neck.

The brothers of the Yang family died, and Luo Guanzhong narrowly escaped death. Facing the two corpses, Luo Guanzhong was restless one after another... What should we do, what should we do?

At this moment, Zhang Shide led the troops and rushed in, seeing the two corpses, he was also taken aback, then looked at Luo Guanzhong on the ground, Zhang Shide was slightly surprised, this man is so lucky that he didn't die!

"Mr. Luo, what's going on?"

Luo Guanzhong struggled to get up, trying to force a smile.

"The brothers of the Yang family committed suicide knowing that they were at the end of the road...but they still have four soldiers outside. I am willing to chase them and let these soldiers return to His Highness."

Although Zhang Shicheng surrendered to the Yuan court, went to the country, and did not call him a prince, many people still call him His Highness in private.

Zhang Shide thought for a moment, then reluctantly nodded.

"Sir, it's good to get them back, Zhu Yuanzhang can't be cheap. But no matter what, you can't bring them back to Hangzhou, and you can't let them harm the people in the city!"

Luo Guanzhong was stunned, gritted his teeth and nodded, and said meaningfully: "Don't worry, I won't bring them back to hinder His Highness's eyes!"

Chapter 221 Dayuan Loyal Minister, We Have Plenty

Zhang Shide took over Hangzhou, the paradise on earth, Suzhou and Hangzhou, all fell into Zhang Shicheng's hands, a place of wealth and culture... Zhang Shicheng's little life became better in an instant.

Need salt, we have it!

If you want silk, we have it too!
