Hu Dahai led his troops to capture Zhuji. However, the person still stationed in the city was Shi Moyisun, the governor of Zhejiang Province in the Yuan Dynasty.
This man's ancestors were from the Liao Dynasty, and he was the hereditary deputy Wanhu. He was originally stationed in Chuzhou.
This man may not be famous, but he has a subordinate who is very impressive, and that is Liu Bowen!
That's right, this is Lao Liu's boss.
As a result, because Liu Bowen fell into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, the landlords' armed forces in Chuzhou collapsed, and Zhu's army entered Chuzhou. Shi Moyisun had to lead the remnants to escape. He originally planned to escape to Hangzhou, but was intercepted by Zhu's army on the way.
Can temporarily retreat to Zhuji.
Shi Moyisun, who was trapped in the isolated city, desperately asked for help and tried his best to escape. However, he soon sadly discovered that in the entire Zhejiang Province, he was the only one who was still loyal to the Yuan Dynasty.
Looking around, there is no Dai Yuan Zhongliang!
Although Fang Guozhen in the east accepted the imperial edict of the Yuan Dynasty in name, he and Shi Moyisun were completely different. Moreover, Fang Guozhen was in cahoots with Zhu Yuanzhang, and was only as loyal to the Yuan Dynasty as Lu Bu was to Dong Zhuo.
Looking further north, Zhang Shicheng's troops were heading south from Suzhou, with the intention of annexing Hangzhou, but the road to the north was cut off anyway.
Looking to the west, Jiande and Jinhua were all Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers and horses. Three large groups of red scarf troops surrounded Shi Moyi and Sun in the middle, making it airtight.
This situation is ten thousand times more dangerous than that of Jingzhou Guan Erye.
However, the Zhu Jiajun did not immediately target Shimo Yisun. Xu Da arranged a large army to attack Xinzhou. His goal was to open the door to the land of Fujian.
It wasn't until Xinzhou was captured and the Yuan Dynasty's influence in Zhejiang Province was wiped out that Hu Dahai was sent as a vanguard officer to capture Zhuji and eliminate Shi Moyi Sun.
The entire siege battle has been going on for a while. Shi Mo Yisun resisted desperately. The last group of Yuan soldiers were quite tenacious and turned out to be tough.
Hu Dahai was still hesitant, but this letter from Zhu Yuanzhang actually made him determined. He must capture Zhuji immediately, end the battle, and win at all costs!
Hu Dahai seems to be a reckless man, but he is very decisive.
His son committed a serious crime and was about to be beheaded. His superiors wrote to him and explained the situation. This was to give him face. It goes without saying who Zhu Yuanzhang was. Such a big thing had happened. If Zhuji's Yuan Dynasty could not be solved for a long time.
In the army, someone must criticize him, saying that because his son died, he was unwilling to contribute, held back, and held a grudge against his superiors... If there is such a legend, then he will be in big trouble.
Therefore, no matter what, the battle must be ended as soon as possible to convince the superiors of their loyalty.
If he's lucky, his son may still have a way to survive, but if he's unlucky...it's his own fault!
As his own flesh and blood, Hu Dahai couldn't help but feel heartbroken, but with tens of thousands of stones of food and privately brewing wine to make a fortune...this little beast simply didn't want to live anymore!
With so much food, have you finished eating it?
Can you spend all this money?
Disobedient son, you deserve to die!
Hu Dahai gritted his teeth, his anger was skyrocketing, and he was extremely sad and angry... All his anger was poured into the Zhuji County in front of him. No matter what, he had to take it down and use the blood of these dog Tatars to wash away the anger in his heart.
Hu Dahai called his second son Hu Guanzhu.
This son looked like a warrior just like him... Hu Dahai put his armor on his son without saying a word.
"Your eldest brother has violated the king's law and brought shame to our family. You will take the lead in attacking the city tomorrow and be the first to go in and get your father's face back. Do you hear me?"
Hu Guanzhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately without any hesitation, "Father, don't worry...Um, my eldest brother?"
"Don't ask!" Hu Dahai roared suddenly: "You enter the city and get the first one, and then ask me again!"
Hu Guanzhu knew his father's temper, but he didn't dare to speak, so he could only prepare for battle obediently.
The Zhu Jiajun side was already ready for battle, and Shi Moyisun in the city seemed to feel that the end was approaching.
By coincidence, today is his mother's birthday.
Shi Moyisun hesitated again and again, but still ordered his subordinates to cook a few of his mother's favorite dishes, and then went to see his mother.
When mother and son faced each other, Shi Mo Yisun felt that his heart was broken and he burst into tears.
When the old lady saw her son crying without saying a word, she already knew that a disaster was coming and there was no need to say anything.
"My son, why should I be so crazy! What happened today was already expected. It was just a matter of time!"
Shi Mo Yisun wiped his tears. He was a man of erudition and proficiency in civil and military affairs. He was considered a figure. Seeing his mother say this, he could only cry and said: "Don't put your righteousness above the king's and your relatives. You can't live without doing anything."
, there is no king; if the mother is too old and does not serve, it is without relatives. Without a king and no relatives, the child is really an unfaithful and unfilial person, how can he stand in the world!"
Shi Moyisun hammered the ground with his hands and burst into tears. He was extremely sad and angry, and also extremely regretful.
The old lady saw this and sighed helplessly. She shivered, helped her son up, and asked Shi Moyisun to sit down, and then said: "I have benefited from you for my mother, and I have received the imperial title. I have no regrets in this life. Now the red thief
Rampant, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, those who surrendered to the bandits were like the crucian carp crossing the river. They were willing to die for the country and uphold justice, and there were very few of them! The former heard that the general manager Jin Yi was martyred on Taiping Road. Now in Zhejiang Province, no official is willing to do it.
If my son has the intention to die for his country, my mother will only be happy!"
When the old lady said this, Shi Moyisun was even more shocked and almost wanted to cry without tears.
"Mother, the child is unfilial. This official, this official will do a lot of harm to people!" Shi Moyi and Sun Yangtian sighed. If he hadn't become an official in the Yuan Dynasty, he would definitely not be willing to die, let alone harm his family.
But since I became an official in the Yuan Dynasty and received the salary of the Yuan Dynasty, I had to live forever. How could I live up to Tian's grace?
"Mother, only allow Dayuan to betray his child, and not allow the child to rebel against Dayuan. The child has made a decision and will fight to the end with the red thief and will never surrender! A real man would rather have his jade broken than live in ruins!"
When the old lady heard this, she actually touched her palms and laughed, then reached out to touch Shi Mo Yisun's cheek, and said with a smile: "My son is loyal and brave, and he has indeed lived up to his family's reputation! Just go to war with peace of mind, my mother will never let you be embarrassed!"
"
Hearing this, Shi Moyisun looked at his mother again, his face full of determination. His heart moved, and he was a little reluctant. He threw himself in front of his mother's knees and wanted to say something else, but the old lady stood up and took a glass of wine.
, smiled and said: "Come, let's spend this birthday with my mother! This year is my sixtieth birthday. It's reincarnation. I've seen everything. After this, my son doesn't need to feel sad for my mother. In this world, after all,
It cannot be like grass, trees and soil!”
Shi Mo Yisun felt sad, but didn't know what to say. He could only lower his head and shed tears, and reluctantly served his mother on his sixtieth birthday.
In and outside the city, everyone is making final preparations.
But there is still one person who cannot ignore the battle in Zhuji, and that is Xu Da!
He was originally based in Jiande, not far from Hu Dahai. Just before Lao Zhu's letter was delivered to Hu Dahai, a letter sent in Zhang Ximeng's personal name fell into Xu Da's hands.
However, although it was in a private name, the content above frightened Xu Da.
The superior actually wanted to kill Hu Dahai's son?
Aren't you afraid that Hu Dahai will rebel against the Zhu family army in anger?
At present, it would be easy for Hu Dahai to surrender to Fang Guozhen or seek refuge with Zhang Shicheng.
A commander-level general surrendering to the enemy would be an absolutely disastrous blow to the Zhu Jiajun. Since the establishment of the Zhu Jiajun, I have never thought of such a thing. Could it happen to me?
Xu Da was stunned for a moment. He suddenly realized a problem. Zhang Ximeng mentioned in the letter that Zhu Yuanzhang had already written to Hu Dahai... This is strange!
Why did Lao Zhu tell Hu Dahai, but Zhang Ximeng wrote a private letter to himself?
Shouldn't I be prepared to try my best to hide Hu Dahai?
Why is it the other way around?
Xu Da was silent for a long time and suddenly realized the mystery of the matter!
Will Hu Dahai's subordinates follow him in rebellion?
It seems difficult!
Xu Da asked himself, would his soldiers listen to him?
Maybe it's okay to fight, but don't dream about other things.
Almost all of these soldiers have acres of land given by Zhu Yuanzhang, their families live and work in peace and contentment, and their food and salary are the best. Why should they follow you to rebel?
Moreover, Zhang Ximeng promoted literacy in the military, and held various cultural performances, sports competitions, and recitation of military regulations... After this series of events, Zhu Jiajun was no longer a returning general, and the situation was completely different.
Of course, can a general kidnap his subordinates?
If you still can't make a conclusion, just say it must not be possible.
If Zhu Yuanzhang wrote to Xu Da and told him... Xu Da would have to take action to prevent Hu Dahai from rebelling.
But once Xu Da makes a move and asks Hu Dahai to investigate, it may have the opposite effect and make Hu Dahai do some irrational behavior in fear.
If that were the case, it would be self-defeating.
We had to tell Xu Da, and we couldn’t formally inform Xu Da.
That's why Zhang Ximeng's letter came out, telling him, but not completely!
This method is really delicate!
So what are you going to do?
Xu Da pondered for a while and finally had an idea.
"Pass my order to immediately prepare 38,000 shi of military rations and send them to Zhuji for Commander Hu!"
Thirty-eight thousand stone, is it considered a small amount?
Calculated based on Zhu Jiajun's tax level, it is almost the annual tax revenue of 5,000 households.
Nowadays, an ordinary county can have seven to eight thousand households and twenty to thirty thousand people, which is already considered good.
This is the annual tax revenue for most of the county. Dingyuan is a big county, and there are too many counties, which are far less wealthy than Dingyuan.
If it is used to support soldiers, ordinary soldiers will receive one and a half kilograms of food a day when they are not fighting. When fighting, this will be increased to two kilograms of staple food.
One stone of grain is enough for sixty days! Thirty-eight thousand stone of grain is enough to feed 38,000 people for two months.
Put it there, it’s a big mountain!
"I hope Lao Hu won't be confused!"
Xu Da made arrangements and sent a grain team to Zhuji.
Almost at the same time, Hu Dahai actually sent someone to deliver a message. He wanted to supervise the troops to attack the city and asked Xu Da to send troops to assist. After receiving the news, Xu Da smiled, and finally everything was not out of control.
The superiors are so accurate at judging people!
Xu Da personally led his troops.
The small Zhuji County town was unprecedentedly lively. Hu Dahai assembled two hundred artillery pieces and blasted the city wall... Every projectile, carrying Hu Dahai's anger, streaked across the sky and angrily hit the city wall.
After a whole morning of furious shooting, the city tower was shattered into pieces, and dozens of Yuan soldiers among them were turned into corpses everywhere, with blood staining the blue bricks.
Another crack was broken out in the city wall, accompanied by heavy projectile bombardment, like a giant hammer, one after another... At noon, a ten-foot-long section of the city wall collapsed.
"The turtle's shell has finally been cracked open! Shut it down, you come to me!"
Accompanied by Hu Dahai's roar, Hu Guanzhu led his elite soldiers, ran towards the gap, ran at full speed, and rushed forward without fear.
