Chapter 126 Peaceful Jiangnan

In February of the following year, Zhu Yuanzhang once again conquered Wuchang. Everyone in the city was frightened and some people came to surrender one after another.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "The people's hearts are dispersed!"

As long as Chen Youliang is alive, the soldiers around him gather around him, and it is difficult to fight together! But when Chen Youliang dies, just a child succeeds to the throne, and people are shaken and they all want to surrender.

The old minister Luo Furen entered the city and went to recruit Chen Li.

Chen Li surrendered and the Han regime was destroyed.

Chen Youliang's father Chen Pucai was appointed as the Marquis of Cheng'en, eldest brother Chen Youfu was appointed Guirenbo, and second brother Chen Youzhi was appointed Huaienbo. He posthumously awarded the fourth brother Chen Youren as the King of Kangshan, and ordered relevant officials to set up temples to sacrifice, and attached the fifth brother Chen Yougui to sacrifice.

He did not despise Chen Youliang's relatives because he was a loser. It was probably because of a hero who cherished each other!

It took less than a year from the Battle of Poyang Lake to the destruction of Chen Han.

Too fast and too lucky.

Taking over Chen Youliang's territory, Chen Youliang's navy, food, soldiers, etc., Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly expanded more than twice in terms of power and military strength.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not careful and directly called himself the king, and was called the King of Wu.

At the same time, Ming Yuzhen, who stabilized Chongqing, began to attack Zhang Shicheng.

From Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the capital Yingtian, to now, there have been constant frictions for more than ten years, and there have been constant battles and small battles, and each has its own victory or defeat. However, Zhang Shicheng has now gained an overwhelming advantage.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to attack, first cutting off the two wings, and then besieging Suzhou.

After three years of war, Zhang Shicheng was captured alive and captured to Yingtian Mansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "What do you think now that the army is defeated?"

Zhang Shicheng said angrily: "The sun shines on you and doesn't shine on me!"

To put it bluntly, if you, Zhu Yuanzhang, are lucky enough to be today. If you don’t have luck, you are nothing, you are just a stinky beggar.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Because all this is true.

He is very lucky to be able to be today.

Xiang Yu stepped forward and said, "You will not shine on you... You are a dog thief, you are Qin Hui, and you have the face to say this!"

"The King of Wu is in love with the world. He wants to drive out the Tartars and restore China. He wants to attack the Central Plains in the north, be Yue Fei, and return my mountains and rivers. As for you, a dog thief, you will go to the Yuan Dynasty to Zhao'an, accept the Yuan Dynasty's Taiwei, and become an official of the Yuan Dynasty, and have become Qin Hui and others!"

"Every year, hundreds of thousands of stones of rice were sent to Dadu to prosper the life of the Yuan Dynasty. These rice became the wife of the Yuan Dynasty soldiers, slaughtering our Red Turban soldiers, resulting in the failure of the three northern expeditions! It was another sneak attack on Anfeng and killing the anti-Yuan hero Liu Futong. You are just Qin Hui, so why are you pretending to be a tragic hero or a big-tail wolf!"

"Bah!"

As he said that, Xiang Yu spat directly on his face and said, "How can God bless Qin Hui and make Qin Hui lucky!"

Zhang Shicheng was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"The green mountain is fortunate to bury loyal bones, and the white iron is innocent to cast slander ministers. Good and evil have been together with ice and charcoal since ancient times, and the reputation and truth are judged today." Xiang Yu said: "In the near future, I will build the Yuewang Temple in West Lake, where I will build the temple for Yuewang, and at the same time leave behind Qin Hui, Wang, Wanqie, and Zhang Jun, four kneeling faces, so that the world can understand that it is the end of being a traitor and a traitor!"

Then, beat it out with a stick.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Zhang Shicheng is loyal, honest and kind-hearted. He is good at pacifying the public with kindness. He is light taxes and taxes in his jurisdiction to maintain health, treat wise men and talented people, recruit talents, and is very generous to his subordinates and does not impose punishments. These made him deeply loved by scholars, the people and soldiers, and he has a good reputation!"

Xiang Yu said: "That was just a small favor. It is said that Qin Hui was very nice to the people back then, and the people were grateful to him. Many people in later generations have rehabilitated him! But there are losses in righteousness, and no matter how much whitewashing is done, it will be in vain!"

Singing generously in Yanshi, being a prisoner of Chu calmly, leading a knife to become a fast, and living up to the young man!

If Wang Jingwei was killed directly when he was assassinated, how great would it be.

Unfortunately, I was not dead.

As a result, one less martyr and one more traitor.

Later generations of people cleaned up Wang Jingwei, saying that he did not smoke, did not drink, gamble, or did not be close to women, which was a good character.

However, these are small details, big details are useless.

Similarly, a Sichuan warlord smoked and drank, was lustful and had a bad character, but when he fought against Japan, he fought on the battlefield with bloody battles, and the big festival was not bad, and the small festival was fine.

The next day, Zhang Shicheng died, and he died miserably!

The army was moving, and Fu Youde went south to attack Fang Guozhen. Everything was taken for granted and he won smoothly.

It’s like starting a business, the first pot of gold is the most difficult and will develop rapidly later;

Before developing to a certain stage, you will encounter bottlenecks.

The first bottleneck is to defeat Chen Youliang.

Then in the north, we encountered a second bottleneck.

"We must make a Northern Expedition!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Everyone agreed and began the Northern Expedition plan.

The Northern Expedition was mainly two points, going up the canal, capturing Huaibei, conquering Shandong, then attacking Henan along the Yellow River, attacking Shaanxi, and then choosing an opportunity to attack Dadu.

The first step is to take Shandong first and remove it from blocking;

The second step is to rush to Henan and cut off its wings;

The third step is to pull Tongguan and guard it, cut off the reinforcements of Guanlong, and then advance to Yuandu.

Present a counterclockwise strategy and conduct attacks.

At the same time, we focused on eliminating the Yuan army in Shandong, then eliminating the Yuan army in Henan, blocking the Yuan army in Shanxi, and dividing and encircling the Yuan army.

Mainly fighting along the canal and the Yellow River.

Because relying on the river, we can quickly transport food and grass and gunpowder weapons. As the saying goes, the troops will move forward before they move food and grass. Fight along the river to reduce the impact of cavalry infantry.

During the Northern Expedition, infantry and navy were the main ones, the former was the main ones, while the latter transported food and grass.

The plan is as steady as ever.

Zhu Yuanzhang always used his troops to be steady and did not pay attention to any strange plans, but instead made steady progress, without making any mistakes, and did not give any loopholes to the enemy.

Suppress with dignified soldiers and absolute strength.

He was steady in military use, and he was comparable to Zeng Guofan's later generations who "formed hard camps and fought stupid wars".

In the Northern Expedition plan, the homework was severely copied, and the one that copied Liu Yu's Northern Expedition.

"Enjoyed father, the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty is not a big problem... But can the Northern Expedition be successful?" Zhu Yuanzhang said in his heart: "The northern plains are the main ones, and the cavalry have huge advantages. And we are all southern soldiers, mainly infantry, can we fight cavalry? Can we win? I have no idea!"

In history, the Northern Expedition has failed many times!

There are many famous generals among them!

Those famous generals are no worse than him in terms of talent.

If those people fail, can they succeed?

Why is it successful?

Is it just because he has a big face?
