Chapter five hundred and fiftieth expedition ceremony
Zhang Ximeng was still planning military affairs when he received the news from Lao Zhu. He was surprised at first and then overjoyed.
Although Chen Youding has nothing to worry about, there are still eight palaces with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. If he is negligent, the army will go northward and the sky will be empty, which will be very troublesome.
But they never expected that they would start a mess on their own.
Moreover, the Pu family, the most abominable family, was regarded as a target. This is simply God helping me!
Zhang Ximeng thought for a moment, then immediately put down what he was doing and went to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.
"My lord, it seems that we should not take over Fujian too quickly. We should let them commit suicide to save us the trouble."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "We have heard that the Pu family was originally a barbarian merchant. They moved to Quanzhou, relying on the boats in their hands, roaring all the way, backing the Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, and taking charge of the Shipping Department. They have been illustrious for a hundred years. These hundred years.
During this period, they not only exploited merchants, broke their bones and sucked their marrow, but also gathered thousands of semu people as semu people, settled in Quanzhou, lived and multiplied, and accumulated it for hundreds of years. Quanzhou has become like a foreign land, how can this be done? Drive out the Hulu
, how can he be the Emperor Yuan of Dadu?"
Zhu Yuanzhang groaned angrily and said: "We will not let go of the Pu family! If we find them, the men will be slaves and the women will be prostitutes. They will never be able to get over again! In addition to them, the Semu people who are attached to the Pu family will not be able to escape."
Let it go, we must investigate the crime strictly and never tolerate it!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Sir, I suggested letting them commit suicide, which is also a good idea. It's just that it's been delayed for a long time and innocent people have suffered disaster. We can't bear it. Do you have any good ideas, sir?"
Zhang Ximeng said hurriedly: "My lord, the Semu people are mainly located in the cities. They are good at doing business but not good at farming. Our soldiers and horses only need to boldly penetrate each other and divide the cities, leaving them in an isolated and helpless situation. Then mobilize the people of Fujian to
Grant the land and divide the farm property equally. Then the whales will devour it. Within a few months, this cancer will be eradicated and the people of Quanzhou will be restored to peace."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while and nodded slightly.
Since the main force moved northward, the troops attacking Chen Youding could only be regarded as a partial force.
It's really difficult to really attack a city on a large scale and be invincible.
If you just divide and surround it, there is no doubt that the pressure will be reduced.
It is a good opportunity to observe the power of the Pu family, wait until they are all exposed, and then kill them with one strike, cleanly and completely solving the hidden dangers.
This move is not ingenious.
In fact, throughout so many years, Zhang Ximeng has always advocated treating diseases and saving lives, and is unwilling to commit mass killings... But facing the Pu family, he has no choice.
They have done too many evil things in the past hundred years. Not to mention that it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to accept their surrender. Even the Pu family themselves know that there is no way out.
In this case, it is better to take advantage of the present opportunity to solve it completely to avoid leaving any future troubles.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng quickly reached an agreement.
"Sir, since Chen Youding has nothing to worry about, Zhu Ying also sent news not long ago. He is leading Yang Jing, Zhou Dexing and others to Guangxi... It seems that all the land in the south has been handed over to the Ming Dynasty. Looking around the world,
As long as Dadu Yuan Ting is still there, the opportunity for the Northern Expedition to Dadu has come!"
Zhang Ximeng pondered for a moment, then nodded vigorously, "What my lord said is absolutely true. I boldly request an order to officially launch the Northern Expedition!"
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and waved his fist fiercely, "Please! Let's go to the Northern Expedition!"
Obviously, even if such a big thing is confirmed, there must be a large enough ceremony.
The last decisive battle in the Central Plains, due to the tight time, there was no time to arrange it. Or to put it simply, there was some hesitation last time and not completely sure.
But this time, he is determined to win, and no one can stop Ming's footsteps.
Just outside Nanjing, a grand commissioning ceremony was held at the school military field.
Zhang Ximeng was granted the title of Commander-in-Chief and personally commanded the army, gathering famous generals and hundreds of thousands of troops.
In one battle, Yanyun was recovered, and in one battle, Yuan Ting was destroyed.
Thanks to the recent propaganda work, the business people and people in Yingtian already know about Wen Tianxiang and the shame of these hundreds of years.
I finally want to take revenge on Prime Minister Wen!
It is time to wash away the shame and restore China.
People were running around telling each other the good news.
What is surprising is that among this group of people, there are actually many Mongolians, and they are more excited, happy and enthusiastic than ordinary people.
"The day has finally come! The capital is finally going to be restored! Emperor Yuan Ting and I not only have a national hatred, but also a family hatred! This foolish king should have died long ago!"
The one who can speak like this is undoubtedly Tamerlane first.
Since the last time Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and invited them to attend the ceremony, the gap between the Mongolian people and the Han people in Yingtian City has become smaller and smaller.
After the two parties got acquainted, they soon discovered that the gap between the two of them was not that big. They only had three meals a day, wife, children, and children.
Like Timur, he relied on his own ability to open a veterinary clinic, build his own horse farm, rescue livestock, and sell cattle and horses to plow the fields.
They do good things and earn hard-earned money.
Even if he was a high-ranking official in the Yuan Dynasty before, so what?
And in terms of actual effects, Timur's damage to Dayuan is probably still greater than that of ordinary generals. After all, whether he sent 300,000 people in one breath at the beginning, or now he is actively helping to contact Yuan Tingguiwei
, develop insiders. These actions are all digging into the ancestral graves of the Yuan Dynasty.
By the way, Lao Zhu was able to figure out the fight between the Yuan Dynasty emperor and the crown prince, and guess what Chahan Timur was thinking, thanks to Timur's matchmaking.
With this person here, he successfully helped Daming place his spies in Dadu, Yuan Dynasty, and even in the imperial palace, there were Lao Zhu's people.
In order to destroy the Yuan Dynasty as soon as possible, Timur spared no effort.
Not long ago, he took out the money he had accumulated and bought Ming Dynasty's national debt. He also selected two hundred young men and prepared oxen, horses and vehicles.
As early as when Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he said that he would definitely help when the Northern Expedition to Dadu was launched.
Now that the opportunity has come, how can you miss it?
The God of Immortality treated me well, and finally allowed me to wait until the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown!
"Great, let's have a few more drinks!"
First Timur visited everywhere and successfully gathered a large group of Mongolian nobles.
Everyone actively contributed money and effort to assist the Northern Expedition.
Although they are not many in number, they have indeed ignited the enthusiasm of the people.
Even the Mongols have contributed money to help, we can’t fall behind!
What's more, this time we are fighting to avenge Prime Minister Wen, how can we fall behind others?
Therefore, all merchants in Yingtian, big and small, stood up and spared no effort to purchase national debt to support the Northern Expedition.
However, among the many merchants, the most surprising one was Suzhou, a textile workshop called Women, which surprisingly spent 200,000 yuan to purchase bonds. In addition, they also donated 500 bolts of silk.
This move shocked the entire city of Suzhou.
Good guy, these women are not only ruthless in the mall, they are also so life-threatening in this kind of thing!
Are you trying to force us to death?
With no other option, merchants in Suzhou stepped forward one after another and generously donated their money.
Due to excessive buying, there was not enough national debt to sell.
Obviously, it was not just merchants who were interested in supporting the Northern Expedition.
Just when everyone was concerned about who contributed how much, the troupe headed by Wu Datou, representing the Jianghu artists, donated a total of 35,000 guan.
They said that the money was used to build artillery.
Because they heard that it takes more than 3,000 guns to build an artillery piece. They donated this money in the hope that the imperial court would have ten more artillery pieces, so that they could blast through most of the capital and destroy the Yuan Dynasty!
Actors have always been low-class, but only the Ming Dynasty gave them face and gave them a chance to live a new life.
Now they hope that the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous and that the Yuan Dynasty will be destroyed as soon as possible without leaving any future troubles.
In addition, Wu Datou selected 500 artists of various kinds and asked them to go north with the army to perform performances for the Northern Expedition soldiers and soothe their emotions.
In order to fight for this quota, two to three thousand artists came forward to sign up, and even the junior brothers fell out in order to compete for the quota.
Women, artists, and more and more people are willing to stand up and support the Northern Expedition.
The Ming Dynasty was really popular!
Just when everyone thought it was almost done, another donation was delivered to Yingtian.
This is Jingzhou and other places. The people of the Miao tribe sent 3,000 pieces of raw cowhide, as well as horns, tendons, raw lacquer, pig bristles and other items. They were loaded on five ships to supply military supplies and support the imperial court.
Yuan!
Businessmen and people, with all kinds of help, gathered in Yingtian.
At this moment, Daming's blood is already gushing out, and he is full of pride, and he is only waiting for an exit.
And this exit is the ceremony for swearing to the Northern Expedition.
As the protagonist this time, Zhang Ximeng couldn't calm down... The last time such a big scene happened, it was Lao Zhu who ascended the throne. But the problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, which belongs to Lao Zhu, Zhang Ximeng only needs to make arrangements.
But this time, he is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, the man who will lead the troops into Dadu!
There was no other way, so Zhang Ximeng also put on his military uniform, put on his armor, and stepped on his sword.
Jiang Nan looked at Zhang Ximeng carefully for a long time and couldn't help but laugh: "It turns out that the master is so heroic even when he puts on a military uniform!"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "It's not like you don't know how handsome my man is! Do you still need to doubt him?"
Jiang Nan's face turned slightly red, and then he shook his head, "No, sir, you are too thin. Your shoulders and waist must be wrapped in silk, so that you will look majestic and majestic, like a general commanding the army."
While talking, Jiang Nan turned around and ran out, and came back soon, holding in her arms the silk and satin that Zhu Yuanzhang had given to Zhang Shuning. Jiang Nan was not polite and wrapped it up with Zhang Ximeng.
For a quarter of an hour, Jiang Nan looked at her husband who had grown a lot bigger and couldn't help but stick out his thumb.
"That's enough, we can definitely control the situation!"
Zhang Ximeng's forehead was sweating, "Why do I feel like I've become a rice dumpling!"
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly! Don't delay the good time."
Just like that, Zhang Ximeng was pushed out, mounted on a horse, and two hundred cavalrymen opened the way, and went straight to the school military field to participate in the most grand expedition ceremony in history!
