Tuotuo followed the imperial envoy to the north and originally planned to send Tuotuo to Huai'an. However, because the Red Scarf Army had captured Huai'an before, and because tens of thousands of Tuotuo's old troops were still there, the Yuan Dynasty did not dare to send Tuotuo to Huai'an, so Hama suggested
Exiled Tuotuo to Yunnan.
Logically speaking, if we go to Yunnan, the mountains are high and the roads are long, and there are rebels and bandits who are in chaos. If we go here, we will definitely die on the road.
Hama also sent letters to officials along the way, hoping that they would be smarter, understand the new prime minister's intentions, and help him get rid of this great enemy.
But what makes Hama depressed is that among the officials along the road, no one dared to harm Tuotuo, nor did they think of taking action. The government was just like this, and the bandit Red Turban did not even do anything.
Peng Dang, who was making the most noise, did not take any action and just watched, allowing Tuotuo to arrive in Yunnan safely.
After Hama knew about it, he was so angry that he had no choice but to correct the imperial edict and send someone to send poisonous wine to poison Tuotuo to death. He was only forty-two years old at the time!
The last official of Sheji died.
Tuotuo's death was not just as simple as losing a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty, but that such a loyal minister died in the hands of his own people.
From then on, the officials and generals of the Yuan Dynasty, including Wang Baobao and others, considered their own interests first. Once there was a conflict with the imperial court, they would not hesitate to stand on their side.
There is no way, this ghost court and this dog emperor are not worthy!
People's hearts are still there, and even if all one million troops are lost, there is still a chance to make a comeback.
But when people's hearts are dead, no matter how many soldiers and horses they have, they are still a soulless body. Everyone is selfish and no matter how powerful they are, they will only kill each other and lead to destruction.
From the eleventh year of Zhizheng, when Liu Futong raised troops in Yingshang, to the fifteenth year of Zhizheng, when Tuotuo resigned from office outside Gaoyou City, in less than four years, the Yuan Dynasty had ruined its national destiny.
The rest is just a matter of who can win and eventually replace Yuan Ting!
Xu Shouhui, the Tianwan Emperor who was hiding in the mountains, fought out and began to seize land everywhere, trying to expand the territory and gather troops. They were the first to respond to Liu Futong and the first to proclaim themselves emperor. They said the most hateful words and received the heaviest beatings.
They beat Monk Peng to death.
Now I can finally turn around and change my destiny.
Peng's party was extremely energetic. Zou Pusheng, Ding Pulang, Zhao Pusheng, Fu Youde, and Ni Wenjun all risked their lives. It is especially worth mentioning that when they captured Mianyang, a fisherman named Chen Youliang led an uprising and surrendered.
Ni Wenjun's subordinates were gradually promoted to marshals due to their outstanding military exploits.
Important characters emerged one after another and joined this decisive battle.
How could Liu Futong, who was the first to rebel, be willing to fall behind others? After thinking about it, he did not proclaim himself emperor, but thought of the old leader Han Shantong.
Although this man was not successful at the beginning and was killed by the police station, he was the leader of the rebel army after all, and it was he who proposed all the strategies, and it was also said that he would restore the country of the Song Dynasty.
Although Han Shantong is dead now, his descendants are still there.
Liu Futong was like crazy, looking for Han Lin'er everywhere, wanting to make him the leader and the hero, and then fight Yuan Tarzi to the end!
There are two people who are gearing up, and there are those who are declining. Guo Zixing in Huaiyuan City has finally reached the end of his life.
Guo Zixing's last moments were particularly desolate. His wife Zhang and her daughter were left in Dingyuan by Lao Zhu, with no intention of taking any concubines.
And Guo Tianxu was a free-spirited person. When he saw that his father was of no use at all, he became indifferent.
He and Zhang Tianyou spent all day drinking, gambling, playing with women, and seizing every moment to be happy, for fear that they would not have a chance in the next life.
During the last period of time, Guo Zixing was lying in bed, unable to get out of bed, and the people who served him were not doing their best, often forgetting to bring food, and sometimes even forgetting to clean up his toilet. The handsome Guo was smelly all over, including his thighs and back.
, all had sores and pus leaked out.
In despair and anger, he ended his life.
How to describe Guo Zixing? He should be a pig that caught the wind. Fortunately, he took off.
But when Yuan Ting began to deal with it seriously, the situation became complicated and the wind direction changed. The pig was a pig after all, and Guo Zixing fell into pieces. No matter when, the only thing that can really fly in the nine heavens is the eagle and the true dragon!
All in all, Tuotuo is dead, and it has finally come to an era where both humans and ghosts can show off.
At this moment, it is Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng who stand at the center of the times.
After noticing the Yuan army's unusual movements, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly mobilized 5,000 troops and horses northward, defeated a Yuan Ting cavalry group, and captured more than 1,000 people.
Lao Zhu waved his troops and horses and attacked Gaoyou.
At this time in Gaoyou City, Zhang Shicheng was also going through the most painful decision in his life. As mentioned earlier, Tuotuo allowed him to surrender, but Zhang Shicheng was still hesitating whether to surrender or not.
According to his original intention, he was unwilling to do so.
However, the food in the city has been exhausted, and cannibalism has begun. First, the old and weak, especially women and children, have become a piece of meat in the pot.
Zhang Shicheng didn't want to surrender, but the people below him didn't want to. If he persisted, I'm afraid someone would cook him before long.
"Vote!"
Zhang Shicheng agreed and sent Shi Naian to negotiate with Yuan Ting.
A reply was quickly received. The Yuan Dynasty was willing to make Zhang Shicheng the king of Zhou. As long as his troops left the city, they would arrange military camps and provide military pay and food. Everything would be treated the same as the Yuan army.
He was also too good to Zhang Shicheng, so good that it didn’t seem real.
Shi Naian became suspicious. What he said and what the other party promised made it seem like he was leading hundreds of thousands of troops to surround Gaoyou City. Something was wrong!
He was extra cautious. When he went out of the city to talk to the Yuan army, he went outside on the pretext of having a kidney transplant, called a soldier over, and secretly inquired about what happened...
Shi Naian gave the soldier an ingot of gold and said, "Brother, I don't mean anything else. Just take it and buy a pot of wine to drink!"
Yuan Bing pinched the Yuan Bao and smiled helplessly. Even the Prime Minister was ruined, so what hope did he have?
"Sir, don't even think about surrendering. Let me tell you that the Hunjun has dismissed Prime Minister Tuotuo. I am willing to surrender. How about I escort you back to Gaoyou City now?"
Shi Naian was dumbfounded!
What?
Yuan Ting dismissed Tuotuo?
Oh my God!
Can't it be true?
Back then, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty recalled Yue Fei, causing eternal hatred. Will the Yuan Dynasty have to do it again?
As an outsider, Shi Naian could see clearly that although there were many Yuan troops this time, they included troops from various provinces, troops from Dadu, and troops from the Western Regions, all gathered together.
Tuotuo was not only a Mongolian nobleman, but also the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty. He also used Han ministers in high positions and was an upright official. With this status, he could successfully command the entire army.
Apart from Tuotuo, no one else could be found in the entire Yuan court.
Tuotuo was deposed, and the Yuan army was destined to be defeated!
"Is it true? You didn't lie to me?"
The soldier grinned bitterly, "Sir, do you think this villain dares to tell such a lie?"
Shi Naian was also stunned. It was indeed unnecessary, but Yuan Ting was really stupid!
"Then, how do you protect me from going out?"
It was easy. The soldier turned around and soon brought a dozen people and a horse. He asked Shi Naian to get on the horse and then led him in front. The other soldiers shouted and rushed straight to the gate!
That's right, they didn't even hide, didn't go to any side door, they just walked out openly.
Shi Naian's heart was beating wildly. He was afraid that something would happen. If someone shot an arrow, his old man would be doomed.
But what surprised him was that no one stopped or asked, and just let them out. Some Yuan soldiers saw it and grinned at him and waved.
Is this still a military camp?
At this moment, Shi Naian was sure that Tuotuo must be finished, otherwise how could the Yuan army act so similar!
After leaving the military camp, Shi Naian took the lead and headed straight for Gaoyou.
He rushed into the city gate, full of surprises, and immediately shouted: "Your Highness King Cheng, there is no need to surrender, Tuo Tuo is finished! God bless, King Cheng's great cause will be accomplished!"
Shi Naian's shouting frightened the people in the city. They were all a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They had no strength at all and were leaning against the wall, dying.
Suddenly tell them that Tuotuo is finished and he has won!
Who dares to believe it?
Is Shi Naian dreaming?
Have you written so many novels that you have hallucinations?
Everyone didn't believe it, and Shi Naian was also anxious. Fortunately, there were several Yuan soldiers who followed him. If you don't believe me, do you always believe these few?
After a lot of explanations, the people in the city finally believed it.
The biggest enemy has been taken off, and the Yuan army outside the city has become disorganized and vulnerable!
Zhang Shicheng simply didn't know what to say... He looked around and suddenly stretched out his hand and snatched Shi Naian's horse.
There was no way around it. All the horses in the city had been killed. He got on the horse and finally regained his energy. He drew his saber and shouted at the soldiers, "Come on, follow me and fight out!"
Zhang Shicheng took the lead, but the people under him suffered as much as possible.
During the continuous siege, they did not have enough to eat and were not well clothed. Their clothes were in tatters and they had no food in their stomachs. They walked staggeringly, almost like beggars.
With such a group of soldiers and horses, let alone defeating the enemy, a strong gust of wind can blow them away. Why are we still fighting? Go and die!
But just such a group of troops came out of the city, shouted feebly, and rushed towards the Yuan army. Some of the Yuan troops actually fled at the wind, while others simply surrendered and turned against them, leading Zhang Shicheng's troops into the Yuan army camp.
.
At this point, Zhang Shicheng has dispelled all doubts. It is really God’s blessing!
"I, Zhang Shicheng, have been destined by my destiny!"
This man raised his arms and shouted loudly, really as if he was crazy. The soldiers under his command were also inspired and grateful to heaven.
He really wanted to cry. Starting from October last year, the siege has continued until now. For more than three months, Gaoyou City has been besieged to the end, and he himself is on the line of life and death.
At this time, Yuan Ting took the initiative and made a stupid move. He actually engaged in such a ridiculous trick as changing the commander before the battle, and gave away the victory. If it weren't for the eyes of the sky and the fate of me, Zhang Shicheng would not have known what to say.
When he thought of this, a powerful force came out of his body. Zhang Shicheng shouted with all his strength and the whole army rushed to kill. After more than a day, the soldiers and horses besieging Gaoyou City scattered and fled, and Zhang Shicheng successfully rescued the siege.
In fact, Zhang Shicheng was not satisfied. He wanted to continue the pursuit and completely wipe out all the Yuan troops... But I'm sorry, Gaoyou's soldiers couldn't hold on any longer.
They were so hungry that many of them rushed into the Yuan army camp, looking for nothing but food.
When they saw the millet and rice, they couldn't wait to cook it and stuffed it into their mouths.
With tears in my eyes, I kept saying, "Smells, it smells so good!"
There were actually many soldiers who died from bursting their stomachs because they ate too much!
Zhang Shicheng had no choice but to let his soldiers rest and recuperate on the spot. He continued to send people to recruit surrenders and rebels. At the same time, he arranged for his close associates to recover Taizhou, Yancheng, Xinghua and other places and restore Zhang Shicheng's Great Zhou Kingdom.
The hundreds of thousands of Yuan Ting's army lost its backbone and collapsed on the spot. It was like a huge blue whale that lost its life and returned to the sea. Its huge flesh and blood immediately became nourishment for other marine creatures.
Zhang Shicheng took a big bite and swallowed more without waiting for digestion.
On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang also took action.
His ideas were completely different from Zhang Shicheng's. Zhang Shicheng was the general who sent people to contact the Yuan army's ten thousand households and thousands households. As long as you surrender, you will be given an official position and you will continue to be prosperous and wealthy.
Seeing Yuan Ting's mediocrity, these people also surrendered one after another. Zhang Shicheng recruited fifty or sixty thousand people without much effort, and his strength was restored instantly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's side was obviously different. He sent out hundreds of Mongolian cavalry. These people rushed into the Yuan army, eradicated the upper-level officers of the Yuan army, and then communicated with the soldiers to encourage them to join the Zhu family army.
There is no high or low method, as long as it works. Zhu Yuanzhang also quickly gathered more than 30,000 people, and it was less than thirty miles away from Gaoyou City... After receiving the report, Zhang Shicheng was suddenly shocked!
What?
Zhu Yuanzhang actually came?
When I asked for help and asked you to help, you didn't take action. Now that I have finally exhausted Tuotuo, you are here to take advantage? If I don't show you how powerful I am, I won't be Zhang Shicheng!
Zhang Shicheng, whose confidence soared, immediately ordered to prepare for battle against Zhu Yuanzhang.
Let's compete first to see who is the king of the Huaihe River!
