Chapter 508 The dust has settled and all the troops have returned
Author: Shun Jun
Zhang Dingbian sighed in his heart and shouted "Lord, please go well" in his heart.
Zhang Wuji then changed the topic and said: "Pass on my decree, make Chen Youliang the King of Han, bury him with royal rites, and treat his family well."
Hearing Zhang Wuji's words, the four of them were stunned.
Especially Zhang Dingbian. Zhang Dingbian looked at Zhang Wuji with a blank expression at this time. He really didn't know what was wrong with Mr. Mingzun. He just said that Chen Youliang deserved to die for his crime, but he was buried in a rich burial in the next moment.
Zhao Pusheng couldn't help but asked at this time: "Bi Dong, is that nuclear Junjun?"
Zhang Wuji looked at everyone, and then explained: "As I said just now, I am going to kill Chen Youliang because he has committed treason and provoked foreign strife among the rebels. And I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Although Chen Youliang has disobedient intentions,
, an unjust act. But before he resisted
Did the Yuan soldiers have great achievements? Especially after the death of General Xu Shouhui, he still kept the Jiangnan rebels in peace, which gave them the strength to counterattack the Central Plains and protect the east. This is not his great merit. Although his merits are not worth it, he has
Qun Nao has already been punished, so his merits cannot be ignored."
When Zhang Dingbian heard this, he knelt in front of Zhang Wuji with his legs crossed and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed three times to Zhang Wuji. When he stood up again, his head was bruised and bruised.
Zhang Wuji almost laughed when he saw this. He didn't expect the general to be so sincere.
After Zhao Pusheng looked around, he asked: "How to deal with the aftermath here? I would like to ask the Holy Judge of the East."
Zhang Wuji looked at the mess around him and said: "The Battle of Hongdu should not have happened. The soldiers actually fought for the selfish interests of one person and lost their lives. They did not die for the people of Tiandong on their way to the Northern Expedition.
, but it’s really not worth it to die there.”
After hearing Zhang Wuji's words, Fu Youde and others also bowed their heads in shame.
Zhang Wuji said: "Collect the bodies of the fallen soldiers. Everyone should pay pensions to their family members according to the custom of those who died in battle. Bury everyone generously. After the incident is over, all the troops will return to their camps. They will be stationed outside Hongdu City for the time being. Wait for everything.
When you are ready, everyone come to the city to meet me. I have more instructions. As for Chen Youliang's funeral."
Zhang Wuji looked at Zhang Dingbian and said: "General, I will bury Chen Youliang's body for the time being. After I finish writing a memorial for him, we will give him a grand burial."
Zhang Dingbian repeatedly said no.
After all, the serious crime of treason committed by Chen Youliang did not harm his family, and his death without a burial place is enough to show Zhang Wuji's kindness. Now making him wait for Zhai Mule is nothing.
After listening to Zhang Wuji's words, Fu Youde asked: "Can you tell me that Hongdu City in the east of your eyes has not been captured by them?"
Zhang Wuji looked at the city wall at this time, and then shouted loudly: "Open the city gate!"
Lao Zhang, who was at the top of the city, heard Zhang Wuji's words and then turned on the engine and moved the suspension bridge eastward.
Zhu Wenzheng and Feng Sheng had already left their command positions, so the soldiers naturally followed Zhang Wuji's words.
Then the gate of Hongdu City was slowly opened.
When they saw Zhang Wuji, they opened the fortified city that they had attacked for more than ten days and spent countless energy but failed to win with just one word.
Are all the generals dumbfounded?
But once the city gate is opened, the war is completely over.
At this time, Zhang Dingbian took out his command flag from behind and waved it a few times towards the troops behind him.
The soldiers at the observation tower saw the general's command flag, and then sounded the gong to withdraw the troops.
Hearing the sound of the gong, the remaining sergeants also began to retreat in an orderly manner, and then returned to their respective camps.
Seeing that all the troops had retreated, the soldiers of Zhu Yuanzhang's army who were on the wall of Hongdu City suddenly shouted loudly. Especially the civilian husbands who were temporarily recruited, they cheered for saving their lives and saving their wives and children's property.
Everyone shouted: "Long live your Majesty Mingzun."
At this time, Zhang Wuji said to Zhao Pusheng and others: "General Zhao, let us handle this matter for now. I will wait for us outside the prefect's mansion in the city."
"No!" Zhao Pusheng, Fu Youde, Ding Pulang and Zhang Dingbian said in unison.
Afterwards, all the generals returned to their camps to deal with the aftermath, but Zhang Wuji, like a hero, was welcomed by the people of Hongdu City to Zhu Wenzheng's prefect's mansion.
But at this time, the building outside the prefect's mansion was already empty, with only a few serving maids and servants left. Zhu Wenzheng, Feng Sheng, as well as their servants and servants were all gone.
When Zhang Wuji arrived at the Prefect's Mansion, some discerning people had already taken away all the people in the Prefect's Mansion to await Zhang Wuji's resignation.
As soon as Zhang Wuji entered the door, Lao Zhang went forward to greet him.
"I respectfully welcome Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Please forgive me. I came a little late. Zhu Wenzheng and Feng Sheng and their attendants took advantage of the retreat of Chen's army and escaped. They captured those servants and maids. I'm very sorry, Your Majesty."
Disposal."
Zhang Wuji helped the hero who had proved his identity, and then said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Qin Qing. Let's get back together. I beg you to stay outside Hongdu City for a while, and I will hand over my close guard to you."
"No! I am willing to serve your Majesty." Lao Zhang replied.
After thinking about it, Zhang Wuji said: "Since General Zhu and General Feng have left, I will promote me to the position of guard general of Hongdu City. During that time, Hongdu City will be guarded by me."
Hearing that he had been promoted from a grain-controlling captain in charge of logistics to a city-defending general, Lao Zhang suddenly felt happy.
Can that upgrade be considered a "rocket" upgrade?
He immediately knelt down in front of Zhang Wuji and thanked him profusely.
Zhang Wuji looked at the frightened servants and maids who were shivering. He said to the sergeants who surrounded them: "Okay! The turmoil in the east of the eye has subsided. Everyone is doing everything as usual."
After hearing Zhang Wuji's words, the soldiers retreated, and the servants and maids also returned to their "posts" in fear.
Zhang Wuji turned back to Lao Zhang and said: "Mr. Harsh! The dust has settled in the east of the eye. Order in the city needs to be restored. The damaged residences, houses, and city walls need to be repaired, the injured soldiers need to be treated, and the corpses of other soldiers need to be restrained. Then
I will leave everything to you. I don’t want to disappoint you.”
"No! I will live up to your Majesty's instructions." After saying that, Lao Zhang left with a smile.
Although Zhang Wuji promoted him to general because of his great achievements, Zhang Wuji did not promote the wrong person this time.
The disciple of the Kongtong sect named Lao Zhang had been defecting to Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time. Because he could not bring his art to join the army, he was considered a minor official at the beginning. Later, because of his outstanding ability, he was promoted to the rank of Zhisu by Zhu Wenzheng.
Captain.
If Chen Youliang's army had not been approaching fiercely and the defense of the city was in danger, he would not have been there to carry the stones in person due to his position.
His ability is not bad. Promoting him to the position of garrison and managing the city can be regarded as making the best use of resources and talents.
Zhang Wuji then led the maid to Zhu Wenzheng's room.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Wuji asked for pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to write a "memorial" for Chen Youliang.
After all, whether the 600,000-strong army can be completely gathered depends entirely on that memorial text.
