In fact, if you say that Li Shanchang is greedy and harsh on Xiao Zhuxin, but if you say that he was involved in the Hu Weiyong case, Xiao Zhu doesn't believe it.
How old was Li Shanchang at that time? He had achieved great success and achieved great success in his life. His son even married the eldest princess of Lin'an, and he had everything.
Li Shanchang himself assisted Zhu Yuanzhang step by step. He had outstanding intelligence and should have a very deep understanding of the world situation and Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to control the situation. He should have understood that even if he or Hu Weiyong really wanted to rebel, there was no chance of winning.
Xiao Zhu frowned and couldn't figure it out. Li Shanchang had been in the field for many years at that time. Why did Comrade Lao Zhu think of killing him again?
"Now that 80,000 troops are stationed in Hezhou, winter is about to begin. Will the food and grass be enough?"
A person sitting next to Li Shanchang stood up and replied, "Returning to my lord, there is a shortage of food and grass. This time we attacked Jiqing and suffered a lot of losses. We may not survive the beginning of spring!"
"If you have any ideas, please let us know!"
Neither Xu Da nor Li Shanchang spoke, and the rest of them all expressed their thoughts one by one, "For example, let Chen Di go to the south to buy grain and grass, or start farming in advance, and seize several traffic arteries for soldiers to plunder!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and was not satisfied, but it was impossible to conjure food out of thin air.
Li Shanchang stood up at this time: "My lord, Taiping is opposite Hezhou and is close to the south bank of the Yangtze River. Wuhu is a place rich in rice. As long as there are ships, a fierce force will lead an army from Hezhou to cross the Yangtze River eastward and capture the quarries on the other side.
The food problem can be solved by conquering Taiping."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "We also know where the rich are, but the Yuan army's blockade is fierce, and our army has so many ships. We can't let our brothers swim across the Yangtze River."
Li Shanchang then bowed and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I have two old friends who happen to be the leaders of the Chaohu navy of the two red scarf armies. I have already sent a letter to contact you. They have admired my lord for a long time and are willing to lead their troops to defect. I will never leave."
You can go to Hezhou to pay homage to your lord in three days. God bless your lord!
Hahaha, good, good, good, our success is just like the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty got Xiao He!
People around him also praised Li Shanchang, and Xiao Zhu was also convinced. This guy is really...
Ah, Xiao Zhu felt a familiar heat flowing between his legs. When he lowered his head, he saw that the water was slowly flowing through the swaddling clothes onto Zhu Yuanzhang's legs.
Xiao Zhu panicked a little, and he didn't want to, but he had just finished feeding after sleeping for so long...
Lao Zhu and Xu Da were studying how to arrange the Chaohu naval forces when they felt their legs heat up and looked down and smiled.
Lao Zhu patted Xiao Zhu's butt, untied the swaddling clothes on his son and threw it aside. He hugged the naked Xiao Zhu and walked to the place where the armor was hung next to the main seat. He pulled off the red cloak behind his armor.
The son immediately walked back to the main seat and continued talking about military aircraft.
The people below originally thought that the commander was going to change his pants, but it turned out that he was just afraid that his son would be cold, and did not care about his wet pants.
"Now that we have the ship, we need to make serious plans. Tiande, who do you think should be the pioneer to cross the Yangtze River eastward?"
Xu Da stood up and clasped his fists and said: "The last general is willing to go! We will definitely capture Taiping!"
Lao Zhu shook his head: "You are my general, how can you be the vanguard?
Xu Da thought for a while: "Brother, how about Chang Yuchun who defected here a few days ago? He doesn't claim to be able to bring hundreds of thousands of people across the world, so let's see what he is capable of!"
Lao Zhu nodded: "True gold is not afraid of fire, so let's see what he is capable of!"
Xiao Zhu did not expect that Chang Yuchun was already under Lao Zhu's command, but it seemed that he had not yet shown his prominence. This was his future father-in-law, who would have been his most important wing, but it was a pity that he died young.
You must know that Chang Yuchun Guan Zhongshu Pingzhang was responsible for military and state affairs, and he was also the prince Shaobao and was granted the title of Duke of E.
In the second year of Hongwu, during the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, he died suddenly in the army at the age of forty. He was posthumously awarded the title of Yi Yun, a hero of Xuande and Jingyuan, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Shangzhuguo, Taibao, Zhongshu Right Prime Minister, posthumous title of King of Kaiping, posthumous title
The name is Zhongwu, and he deserves to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Xiao Zhu didn't know if his wife was born or not. Don't think that Chang Yuchun is useless after he died. His influence in the army is still there. His son Chang Mao, Duke Zheng, is also a general, and there are
Lan Yu is the uncle of the Crown Princess.
In short, Chang Xi will be his future spokesperson in the military and his most staunch princeling.
It was also the basis for him to formally take over the military power. If he could keep Chang Yuchun, it would be of great benefit to him.
