After a night of fighting, the chaos in Yangzhou City gradually subsided. When Gao Cheng was surrounded by his personal guards, the blood on the street was cleaned and the bodies were dragged outside the city to burn and buried.

When Gao Cheng entered the city, he saw that the people in the city were hiding at home with panic on their faces, secretly watching a group of soldiers passing by the street through the windows and cracks on the door.

"Mr. Zhu, I will leave it to you to calm the people and polite the city!" Gao Cheng came to a house that temporarily acted as a palace. He first called Zhu Sheng and asked him to temporarily serve as a pacifier. He was responsible for the civil affairs inside and outside Yangzhou.

Zhu Sheng smiled and was full of energy. He captured Yangzhou City and destroyed hundreds of thousands of Tartars' army. This time the Ming army's great cause was as stable as Mount Tai. He was excited and hurriedly took the order.

Then Gao Cheng called the commander of the Mongol Yuan and Han army who surrendered, preparing to appease these surrendered generals who had just surrendered.

After counting, there were more than 300,000 people in Yangzhou City, and the Mongolian Yuan infantry and cavalry army had a total of 360,000, including 50,000 Mongolian cavalry, 10,000 Han cavalry, and the remaining 300,000 people, except for tens of thousands of civilians, most of them were Han soldiers.

The highest position of these Han soldiers was the commander who commanded thousands of people, and was controlled by thousands of Mongolian households.

"The 360,000 army, except for the 50,000 Mongolian cavalry, the remaining Han soldiers can be absorbed. By doing this, I have more than 500,000 army in my hand?"

This time when he captured Yangzhou City, Gao Cheng valued the most not Tuotuo's head, but the army of more than 300,000 people. In addition to the army he left behind in Zhenjiang, he instantly had the largest army in the world.

However, he thought that in the original timeline, after Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, his army had as many as one million. Thinking of this, his somewhat inflated mentality returned to its original state.

At this time, the surrendered generals of Yuan soldiers with a little fear on their faces came to pay their respects. Gao Cheng quickly stopped his mind and smiled on his face and began to comfort the surrendered generals.

If these people want to merge and absorb more than 300,000 troops, they have a huge role.

After such a long period of training, Gao Cheng's wrists to soothe people's hearts are becoming more and more mature. After he talks one by one, he gradually feels at ease.

From the Ming Cult to the present, Gao Cheng has not had any precedent for surrender, and many heroes who surrendered halfway have been valued. These surrendered generals also inquired about Gao Cheng's previous style of conduct and then made up their minds to surrender. Today, they officially contacted the King of Wu and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Chang Yuchun and a few people walked over with joy and shouted: "Master King! The Prime Minister of Meng Yuan Tuotuo was killed by our army. This is his head!"

Gao Cheng turned his head and saw that in Chang Yuchun's hands, he was indeed a head of a slut. At this time, the man following Chang Yuchun was a man with a national face and two special deputy generals. These people were Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, and Tang He.

Gao Cheng's eyes stopped for a moment on Zhu Yuanzhang, and then asked: "Okay! Tuotuo is the Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty. Once he dies, the Mongolian Yuan court will inevitably be shocked!"

Chang Yuchun smiled and said, "This time I can kill Tuotuo, thanks to the brothers Zhu Yuanzhang, he and Xu Da, Tang and the other two found Tuotuo's traces and blocked him at the north gate, otherwise Tuotuo would run away this time!"

When Chang Yuchun finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang and the other two went forward to see the ceremony: "Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, and Tang He, the Haozhou Branch, paid homage to the king!"

Gao Cheng nodded, feeling a little complicated. He originally wanted to refrigerate the Ming Taizu, but he didn't expect that the gold would shine anywhere. He would be brilliant if he gave some sunlight. Should he be worthy of being a Qianlong?

However, the dragon energy on Gao Cheng's body has transformed into a real dragon. No matter how strong the dragon energy on Zhu Yuanzhang is, it will be suppressed. It is impossible to have the chance to become the Ming Taizu again.

As the saying goes, one time and another, before the Yangzhou War, Zhu Yuanzhang was still one of the future real dragon choices, but after the war, Gao Cheng had officially become a dragon. In addition, he was prepared in advance, and Zhu Yuanzhang no longer had the opportunity to become a dragon.

He is not the indecisive otaku Zhang Wuji. With his invincible strength now, as long as he does not die and retire, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes the emperor.

Gao Cheng thought of this and said, "Master Zhu, you have made great contributions to killing Tutuo. Since that's the case, I will appoint you as the general! Xu Da and Tang He as the deputy general. I hope that after the arrival of the army of the Ruyang King of Mengyuan, you can make new contributions!"

Gao Cheng was actually very impressed by Zhu Yuanzhang. He was unparalleled in his heart, proficient in all wisdom, commanding military affairs, and good at learning. From the beggar who was ignorant of the people at the beginning to the point of being a complete example, he basically completed the official system, military system and civil system of the Ming Dynasty alone.

He even wrote the Ming Dynasty imperial edict and the official manual after the prefect of the county magistrate took office.

Such people are the top talents in any era.

It’s a pity that he was born in a poor family, most of his brothers and sisters were starved to death, and he was forced to become a monk and beg for money. This experience made Zhu Yuanzhang attach great importance to the family business and became a little mean and rude.

After becoming emperor, there were less than ten founding heroes, and there were only a few that could have a good ending. This was his biggest shortcoming.

However, Gao Cheng is now the monarch, and Zhu Yuanzhang is his general. This disadvantage is actually an advantage. As long as a person has shortcomings, he can be controlled by others.

When he heard that Gao Cheng made the three of them become generals and deputy generals, and without having to separate, Zhu Yuanzhang's cunning could not help but show a hint of joy and quickly knelt down to thank him.

Because Gao Cheng's current glory is too brilliant, it only takes one year to start a war in Huzhou, to sweep the Jiangnan and break through Yangzhou. Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed that he was inferior to Wang Ye in such a short time.

So his greatest wish now is to be able to make contributions under Gao Cheng, hoping that after the founding of the Ming Cult, he could become a founding hero who shined his ancestors. He did not have the ambition to establish himself and compete for hegemony.

Later, Gao Cheng ordered Tuotuo's head to spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River to shock the Yuan soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi. Tuotuo was the central prime minister of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. His head was transmitted in Jiangnan, which immediately shocked everyone on both sides of the Yangtze River. Whether Han or Mongolian people, at this moment, they realized that Gao Cheng's Ming army had completely formed a power!

The cities that have not yet been captured in the south of the Yangtze River and the cities of Fujian Province have revolted one after another, killing the Mongolian Daluhachi and announcing their surrender to the Ming army.

For a time, Huguang and Fujian were blooming everywhere. The Mongolian Yuan rule south of the Yangtze River collapsed. The Ming army's slogan to expel the Tartars and restore the Central Plains also resounded throughout the world, making all Mongolian and Seminy people uneasy.

Even in Jinling City, someone was preparing to submit a letter of advice and suggested that Gao Cheng call himself emperor and found the country.

On the fifth day after the Yangzhou city was destroyed, Chahan Timur, the king of Ruyang of the Mongolian Yuan, led 200,000 cavalry to arrive along the Grand Canal.

He was the only commander of the Mongol Yuan, and was deeply trusted by Emperor Yuan. Unfortunately, shortly after he moved south from Xuzhou, Prime Minister Tuotuo was defeated and died, leaving behind a lot of messes.

After the Ming army captured Yangzhou, they quickly swept the surrounding area. Lan Yu led his troops to break through Huai'an and pushed the battle area to both sides of the Huai River. Most of the land from Huai River to the Huai River in Huai South fell into Gao Cheng's hands.
