With the great victory in Bianliang, the morale of the red scarves was at an all-time high. Liu Futong and other generals gathered in the city guard's mansion, held a grand celebration banquet and rushed 800 miles to report the victory to King Xiao Ming of Bozhou.
In mid-May of 1356 AD, King Xiao Ming led hundreds of civil and military officials to Bianliang and officially moved the capital here. Bianliang was the ancient capital of the Five Dynasties and its geographical location was very important. By moving the capital here, the Red Scarf Army could control the south of the Yellow River and the north of the Yangtze River.
Take full control.
At the same time, the Jiangnan Red Scarf Army also reported frequent successes. Zhu Yuanzhang led two groups of troops, totaling 250,000, and recovered all the Huguang Province (today's Hunan and Hubei provinces) in March this year. In April this year, Yingying was recovered.
Tian (Nanjing), and has full control over all parts of Jiangnan.
King Xiao Ming issued an edict to announce to the world: Zhu Yuanzhang was appointed as the political minister of Pingzhang of Jiangnan Province, and Wu Guogong, the Prime Minister of the Left in the Song Dynasty. Liu Futong was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Right, and the political affairs of Pingzhang of Henan Province was granted. Zhang Dakui was granted the title of General Shenwei (formerly General Shenwei).
, the Privy Council envoy. Mao Gui was granted the title of Pingzhang of Yidu Province (Qingzhou, Shandong Province), Zhao Junyong was granted the title of Pingzhang of Huai'an Province, and Pan Cheng (Potou Pan) and Guan Duo (Mr. Guan) were granted the title of chief and deputy officer of Liaoyang Province.
Pingzhang, granted Cui De the title of Pingzhang of Caozhou Province.
(Note: The Privy Council envoy and Pingzhang Zhengshi are subordinate to the first rank, and Pingzhang is a local official and they are both subordinate. The Privy Council envoy is a military officer, and Pingzhang Zhengshi and Pingzhang are civil servants.)
Today, the Jiangbei Red Scarf Army has conquered a large area of territory south of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River. The Jiangbei Red Scarf Army has grown from more than 100,000 at the beginning to more than 300,000 and nearly 400,000, and is known to the outside world as 500,000. At this time, the Northern Red Scarf Army
The scarves have joined forces with the Jiangnan Red Scarf Army. The soldiers are pointing directly at the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. For a time, the Yuan court was shaken and the whole court was in panic all day long.
Dakui fought hundreds of battles in one year, and faced few generals who could match him. For a time, the name of the Shenwei General of the Song Dynasty was resounding throughout the country, and his reputation was unparalleled. Zhang Dakui was 25 years old at the time.
"Come, drink!" Dakui held up a big bowl and took the lead in drinking a bowl of fine wine. All the generals responded in unison and followed suit. It was both a celebration banquet and a gathering of congratulations. Dakui was promoted to Privy Councilor and became the first person to do so.
With more than ten thousand people, even Liu Futong's prestige in the army is not as good as that of Dakui, but at least he still has a sign of prime minister hanging there. Dakui doesn't dare to think about the position of prime minister, he knows that he doesn't have that ability. When it comes to charging into battle
, Da Kui dared to say that he would be the champion of the three armies, and no one was dissatisfied with this point. Fame is achieved with real swords and guns!
Sitting next to Dakui were Yang Yonghuai, Feng Biao and seven or eight irritated generals in the army. There were more than ten people at the other table, led by Jia San. The generals were now sitting in their own quarters, with the Tu emperor sitting in their own corner, and Dakui was the only one sitting there.
It can bring together the brothers who are close friends in Bianliang.
After drinking for three rounds, one of the accompanying generals praised: "I saw it when they were fighting in Bianliang City. Our General Zhang is so brave! He rushed into the enemy group as if there was no one, and the Yuan soldiers
Seeing the wind and running away, the enemy generals are like being chopped up melons and vegetables..." As he said this, this guy held chopsticks as a gun and kept talking, making him look very excited.
Dakui laughed and said: "Okay, I've heard you say it eight times. If you want me to say that fighting for your life on the battlefield is to defeat ten with one force. No matter what his moves are, if I shoot him, he will die if he can't hold it back!" "Okay!
"The people around me were cheering, and they all raised their wine bowls and drank another round...
There are still majestic palace walls, and there are still luxurious palaces. But the north wind blows, and the snow-capped outside of Dadu Palace has become a desolate scene.
The bo'er only weighed a catty. Tuohuan Timur (Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty) sat in front of the stove and fell into deep thought, "My world is in chaos, who can take back for me the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains lost in the Yuan Dynasty. The soldiers and horses from all walks of life did not obey the king's orders, and most of them
Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses cannot leave without permission. What should I do, what should I do?' Today in court, all those princes and ministers who used to be pampered and pampered were helpless. I really don't know what the use is of raising these wastes. Tuohuan Timur cursed secretly,
Last year, General Da Shi Badulu was sent with an army of 200,000 to attack Bozhou. Who would have thought that the entire army would be wiped out in one battle.
Now there are no generals left in the court, and the red scarf bandits are growing in strength. It is said that the number of bandits exceeds 500,000. Thinking of this, Tuohuan Timur couldn't help but hope that Prime Minister Arutu would come back soon.
At this time, the maid outside the palace reported: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Arutu is asking for an audience." When Tuohuan Timur heard this, he was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Take the Prime Minister to the side hall to wait.
The widow will arrive soon." Gong'e replied: "Yes, Your Majesty." After saying that, she turned around and left. Tuohuan Timur was extremely excited. Prime Minister Arutu was the pillar of the Great Yuan Dynasty. He was resourceful and had great talents. He could hide millions of soldiers in his heart.
.
During the war in the south of the Yangtze River, Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang and other red-turbaned bandits in the south became more and more serious. Yuanting sent Arutu to command and dispatch, but unexpectedly, the banditry in the north broke out again. It actually threatened Dadu, so Bo'er had no choice but to recruit Arutu to rush back to Dadu.
To ensure that Yuanshi is in power.
When Tuohuan Timur washed and changed clothes and rushed to the side hall, Prime Minister Arutu was already waiting in the palace. Arutu was now old and his face was full of vicissitudes. When he saw Tuohuan Timur entering the palace, he bowed down.
To kneel down. Tuohuan Timur walked a few steps quickly, helped the old prime minister to his feet with both hands, and said: "Prime Minister, hurry up and stop the ceremony, hurry up and stop the ceremony. The prime minister has been less troubled along the way." Arutu smiled and said: "Thank you for your great blessing, Your Majesty.
The old minister is still in good health."
Tuohuan Timur took Prime Minister Arutu's hand and walked to the side and sat down on the chairs. He couldn't wait to express his concerns. Arutu laughed and said: "The red scarf in the north is a disaster and its power is formidable. Although
They occupy several cities in various places, but their foothold is not stable." Tuohuan Timur asked hurriedly: "Does the Prime Minister have any strategy to defeat the enemy?" Arutu smiled and said: "Nowadays, the red scarf bandits in the north claim to be 500,000, but in fact they only have insufficient
400,000. Moreover, the defense forces in various cities are scattered. Your Majesty can send good generals to defeat them one by one."
Tuohuan Timur frowned and said: "Now there are no generals in the court. Besides, there is a general among the red scarf bandits, who is known as the mighty general. This man is so brave that no one can defeat him. I wonder if the Prime Minister has a suitable candidate who can defeat him."
This person?" Arutu chuckled again and said, "What's the point of fearing the bravery of an ordinary man? There are four troops and horses available to mobilize north of the Yangtze River, and the generals leading the troops are all brave and resourceful people." Tuohuan Timur.
He hurriedly asked: "Where are these four places?"
Arutu smiled and said: "Chahan Timur, who is guarding Yingzhou, has 250,000 soldiers. Although this man is greedy for money and lust, he is also a rare general. Your Majesty can order him to lead two soldiers.
One hundred thousand troops attacked from the west. The second one was Giro Timur, the son of Baduru. This man was both wise and brave, and he had a grudge against the red scarf bandit General Shenwei for killing his father. Your Majesty can give him a hereditary title to lead most of the troops.
200,000 horses to attack from the north. The third one is Li Siqi, the political minister of Pingzhang of Zhongshu Province. He has always been on good terms with Chahan Timur. He can mobilize 200,000 soldiers and horses of Zhongshu Province to attack from the south. The last one is
The leader is Zhang Shicheng, who is located in the west of Zhejiang Province. He can lead his 200,000 men to attack from the east. The total number of troops in the four groups is 800,000. I believe that the red scarf bandits will be unable to resist if they lose sight of one thing or another."
When Tuohuan Timur heard this, he was overjoyed and then said doubtfully: "The first three people in the prime minister's words didn't think it was a second. However, Zhang Shicheng was a bandit and once proclaimed himself king. Later, he was defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang because of a battle with the Jiangnan Red Scarf.
You just surrendered to me Dayuan, is this person trustworthy?" Arutu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, that Zhang Shicheng is from a lowly background. Your Majesty can promise you a high official and generous salary, but I understand that he has to obey."
When Tuohuan Timur heard this, he couldn't help but slapped the table and said: "Okay, let's follow the Prime Minister's plan. Let's attack him from four sides."
