Chapter 167 Northern Expedition

"How did Guo Tianxu deal with it?" Ma asked lazily.

Zhang Ximeng leaned his upper body slightly, with a respectful expression, and replied: "Just let him reform in the future. There is no need to kill him."

Ma thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "He doesn't have much charisma, so handling it like this just shows the importance of humaneness and is very appropriate. I'm just afraid that someone is unwilling to let go and wants to take credit for his head..."

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Madam, I understand clearly, but you can rest assured, I will handle it properly."

Don't underestimate this sentence. Zhang Ximeng is in charge of clerical transactions. If he sincerely prevents Lao Zhu from seeing it, Zhu Yuanzhang really has no choice.

Even Zhang Ximeng doesn't have to hide it deliberately. He can put such things in a lot of official documents and send them to Lao Zhu when he is dizzy. He only needs to go around and come back, enter the archives, and then there is nothing

And then...this is called professionalism.

It is conceivable that the rest of Marshal Guo's life was basically like this.

But Ma thought for a while and then said: "Mr. Zhang, how do I explain it to my godmother? She wants my godmother to marry Chongba. Many people know about this, and no one dares to marry her.

, we can’t let her remain a widow for the rest of her life, right?”

As soon as he said this, Zhang Ximeng was in a dilemma.

After all, it was Tang He's mistake at the time. Although Zhang Ximeng intervened to stop it and Lao Zhu also categorically expressed his position, it happened after all, and many people in the Zhu Jiajun knew about this mess.

If you want to marry someone casually, it may not be possible for ordinary people to marry Marshal Guo's biological daughter. At the same time, you are worried about Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude. Anyone who knows about it will never dare to touch her.

If he never gets married, I'm afraid someone will make irresponsible remarks and accuse Mr. Ma of being unvirtuous.

This shit is hard to deal with.

"Mr. Zhang, I have been thinking about it for a long time. The child in my belly will be born in a few days. At that time, I told Chongba that he would marry my sister. What do you think?"

Zhang Ximeng was startled. If Ma was really willing, why would he tell him?

"Madam, I think this is a last resort. It's best to let her have other choices."

Ma frowned slightly, "Sir, do you mean to find a suitable husband?"

"No, no!" Zhang Ximeng waved his hand, "Madam, I'm thinking about whether I can let her go to school and read some books."

"What do you mean? How can she, a girl, study?" Ma was puzzled.

"Then set up a girls' school!"

Ma was even more surprised, "A women's school, is this possible?"

Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "Madam, when we divided the land, we insisted on equality between men and women. Then after we invaded Yangzhou, we closed down the brothels. Many people thought that we couldn't do it... After all, we relied on the lord's strong push to wait until the territory became larger.

If there are too many people and disciplines are relaxed, they will go back and revert to their old ways. I don’t deny this, but I think that if women can have the opportunity to study, they may even enter the officialdom and enjoy some power and control some words in the yamen.

, even if it is repeated in the future, most of the results can be preserved. After all, there are completely different things between someone speaking and complete indifference."

Ma thought about it seriously and found it unbelievable. At first glance, it didn't work at all. However, she also felt that the effect Zhang Ximeng described was very beautiful.

"Sir, do you think this can be done? No one will object?"

"There is definitely opposition, but I think there is still hope."

"How can I see it?"

"Madam, please think about it. There are frequent wars now, and too many men have died in battle. In some places, women have to work in the fields to support a family... In fact, it is also because of this that when we divide the fields in Chuzhou and other places, we insist that women also take the land.

Only by obtaining the same share can they stimulate their fighting spirit. The same path can also give women opportunities in other industries. Of course, if the world is peaceful and the gap is filled, women's opportunities will come to an end.

It was impossible to succeed even if I wanted to do it at that time. In addition to the rare opportunity, there is another thing."

"What's up?"

"Then someone needs to take the lead and set an example." Zhang Ximeng raised his head and met Ma's eyes.

Ma thought for a moment, then laughed, "Sir, you are asking me, a woman, to show my face!"

Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "My wife is pure, honest and generous, and even men can't compare to her. She should share more things for the master."

Zhang Ximeng's motive in encouraging Ma to do something was very deep. In addition to considerations about women's status and mobilizing women to participate in the labor force, Zhang Ximeng also wanted to simply find some work for Ma.

Yes, everyone knows that Ma is a famous empress, but she died a little early, at only fifty-one years old.

Ma gave birth to seven children to Zhu Yuanzhang, five boys and two girls... Considering the displacement during the war, this was still a bit intense and took a lot of toll on the body.

And being entangled in complicated chores all day long can also affect your health.

Zhang Ximeng encouraged Mr. Ma to go out and do things, be open-minded, and have more pursuits, which might benefit his body and mind and prolong his life. Whether Mr. Ma can live a few more years is of great concern.

"Sir, you think highly of me." Ma smiled and said, "Okay, let me think about it first and talk about it later!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled and nodded. He knew that Ma was already interested, so he turned around and left.

Just when Zhang Ximeng came out, Guo Ying came, and there was a middle-aged scholar with him. Guo Ying was beaming, "Sir, the superiors have conquered Taiping. This is a famous person from Taiping Road, named Wang Guangyang!"

"oh!"

Zhang Ximeng was shocked, this was a heavyweight civil servant second only to Li Shanchang!

Lao Zhu praised him for handling secrets and repeatedly offering loyal advice. From a certain point of view, Zhang Ximeng occupied Wang Guangyang's position... This man was a Jinshi in the late Yuan Dynasty. He was good at poetry and calligraphy. He was definitely a talent.

.

Zhang Ximeng looked at Wang Guangyang and found that he was short, fair-skinned, and had a short black beard. He was shrewd and capable, but also revealed a bit of cunning. He was really good!

"I am Zhang Ximeng, the general manager of the experience department. It is really a great joy for Mr. Wang to join the lord."

Wang Guangyang quickly bowed and said, "I'm here to pay my respects to Zhang Xingcheng. In fact, I've heard for a long time that although Xingcheng is young, he has learned a lot and is a close confidant of the upper class. Now that I see him, his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "We don't need to flatter each other. I happen to have something here and I want to talk to Mr. Wang." He stretched out his hand and pulled Wang Guangyang to his check-in room, and then told Liu Futong's move.

Wang Guangyang listened carefully and nodded from time to time, especially when Zhang Ximeng said that a man would rather be controlled by others. He couldn't help laughing, "Liu Futong prides himself on being a hero, but he wants to assist Han Lin'er in ascending the throne. This is a way to create chaos."

In my opinion, people like Du Zundao and others may not be convinced by Liu Futong. If they join forces with Han Lin'er, they will probably have to fight Liu Futong!"

Zhang Ximeng was immediately delighted, what a keen Wang Guangyang.

Liu Futong used Guo Tianxu to disgust Zhu Yuanzhang, which can only be regarded as childish, but if it provokes a conflict between Han Lin'er and Liu Futong, it would be a big deal.

Sure enough, after reading this book too much, my heart becomes dirty.

Like Zhang Ximeng, he can't do such bad things, so... "Mr. Wang, one of our people was detained by Liu Futong, and he sent people to disgust us. He also wanted to appoint someone as a marshal, but he didn't think about it himself.

, are you qualified enough... Let’s do this, sir, you can’t send Liu Futong as an envoy, tell him clearly to release him as soon as possible and use less tricks, we are not vegetarians either.”

Wang Guangyang did not expect that he would take on such a big job as soon as he joined the company. If he could handle it well, he would undoubtedly rise to great heights.

"Zhang Qianqian, do we have any ideas? What I mean is how to talk about it?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Of course we support the Northern Expedition to the Yuan Dynasty, and an alliance between the two sides is okay, but we will never serve Han Lin'er as a minister. We are currently planning to conquer the south of the Yangtze River and cannot provide too many soldiers and horses. Food, grass and weapons can still be discussed. In short,

It all depends on what Liu Futong chooses. If he insists on going against us, we will not be afraid of him!"

Wang Guangyang thought carefully for a while, and finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, I am willing to go."

Zhang Ximeng was also overjoyed. There were really too few civil servants available around him. Finally, one came, so of course he couldn't let it go.

However, going on an envoy to Liu Futong was definitely not something that could be done by one person.

Zhang Ximeng thought for a while and called Lan Yu over again.

"Give you a good chance to go to Han Song to broaden your horizons!"

Lan Yu's face turned dark when he heard this. He really didn't want to go. These days, just running errands for Zhang Ximeng, many pairs of boots were broken. As a result, Zhu Wenzheng has made many meritorious deeds and has been promoted to Qianhu. Li Wenzhong also started

Leading the troops.

Zhang Ximeng promised him a hundred households, but it was a pity that he only took care of young people. To put it bluntly, he was just a child leader.

"No, I'm going to serve in the army. Let me go and fight against Jinling!"

Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're a worthless thing. If I pull you out like this, you won't even realize the painstaking efforts I put in!"

"Painful efforts? What painstaking efforts? I just know that life is hard!"

"That's your short-sightedness! Liu Futong is preparing for the Northern Expedition. You are young and inconspicuous. How much skills can you learn from talking to those veterans? At your current age, how can you compare with your brother-in-law and the others? Even if you die, it will just be

Follow the wind from behind. Study hard, how to conduct the Northern Expedition, and how to deal with Yuan Ting. These skills will benefit you a lot in ten years. Even if you achieve Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's achievements, it will only be in front of you. Such a good thing, you can't

If you are willing to do it, that’s great! I’ll let Li Wenzhong go, and whoever I let go will be better than you!”

"No! My ancestor!" Lan Yu jumped up quickly, slapped her face twice, and then said with a playful smile: "I know that sir loves me the most, and no one can do this except me!"

In this way, Lan Yu accompanied Wang Guangyang to Bozhou.

In fact, Bozhou and Zhu Yuanzhang's territory are bordering each other. The northernmost point of Zhu Yuanzhang's territory is in Huaiyuan. From Huaiyuan, go up against the Wishui River and pass through Mengcheng, the city's father, which is Bozhou. It is roughly the Huaiyuan County of Bengbu City and Qiaocheng District of Bozhou City in later generations.

distance, look, we haven’t even left the province yet!

But along the way, you can clearly feel that Zhu Yuanzhang's rule was very orderly, especially those acres of land, one after another, in order, which can almost give you a taste of "well fields".

After passing Huaiyuan, it was a mess. Although there were people plowing the fields, the excitement was not as lively as Zhu Yuanzhang's.

Wang Guangyang is a smart man. After just one trip, he has made up his mind. Liu Futong may be as brave as Xiang Yu, but Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely have the last laugh. They chose the wrong person!

Without much effort, he met the people from Han and Song.

What was unexpected was that after Liu Futong proposed the Northern Expedition, Emperor Tianwan Xu Shouhui did not agree at all. On the contrary, they sent a letter of credence requesting King Xiao Ming to take the imperial title.

Second Master, since he, Xu Shouhui, was the first to proclaim himself emperor, he should be the only sun of the Red Scarf Army. Who do you Han Lin'er mean to you!

If these words are annoying enough, then the letter sent by Zhang Shicheng is even more annoying!

Zhang Shicheng told Liu Futong that the Yuan Dynasty's national fortunes had not declined and that it still had strength, and advised Liu Futong not to rush to the Northern Expedition. On the contrary, there were some in the Red Scarf Army who were ambitious and unconventional and should be eliminated first.

There is dissatisfaction with Lao Zhu between the lines.

Others, such as Fang Guozhen, did not respond at all.

How can we succeed in the Northern Expedition by following these insects together?

Han Song was furious, but at this moment, Wang Guangyang came on behalf of Zhu Yuanzhang. In terms of attitude, he was much better than those people...
