Chapter two hundred and twentieth vote for Zhu Yi Nian
Sun Yan couldn't figure out why Zhang Shicheng did this, but as Zhang Shicheng's younger brother, Zhang Shide knew very well what his brother was planning.
Zhang Shide led an army and secretly approached Hangzhou. Yang Wanzhe, without knowing it, directly sent out four armies, leaving the city empty.
And just after Yang Wanzhe's Miao soldiers left the city, the gentry and wealthy people from Hangzhou immediately contacted Zhang Shide and rushed to Hangzhou to enter the city and eliminate Yang Wanzhe!
When things have reached this point, it becomes clear who Yang Wanzhe's Miao soldiers have offended?
As a guest soldier, they traveled from the southwest to Zhejiang, traveled thousands of miles, left their hometown, and entered a completely unfamiliar environment.
Originally Yang Wanzhe's military discipline was not good, and the Yuan Dynasty's finances were exhausted and could not provide weapons and food, so they had to find their own way.
What else can you think of?
Isn’t it just blackmailing the people?
But there are times when the common people are exhausted, and when there is no money to squeeze out of the poor, they can only reach out to the big households to ask for money. At this point, Yang Wanzhe has angered the most powerful force in Hangzhou City.
Logically speaking, they could also ask Zhu Yuanzhang to surrender and sell Yang Wanzhe to Zhu Jiajun.
However, Lao Zhu advocated equal division of land, which reached the bottom of the big family. They would rather die than invite Zhu Jiajun to come. Isn't this asking someone to dig their own ancestral graves?
Are there any people so stupid?
There is no other way but to ask Zhang Shicheng to send troops...
Would Zhang Shicheng really consider that much?
Maybe, but for Zhang Shicheng, what makes him most excited is the huge commercial interests of Hangzhou. With Hangzhou in hand, the volume of foreign trade can more than double.
Trade, taxation, more money, more soldiers, greater power, maybe one day the capital to compete with Zhu Yuanzhang.
This is Zhang Shicheng's logic, and it cannot be said to be wrong, but it definitely lacks enough details. It will be extremely difficult to implement it, and it will probably go the other way. This is not surprising. Lao Zhu's strategy was hatched by Zhang Ximeng and revised by Jia Lu.
, Zhu Sheng refined it, Liu Bowen perfected it, and Li Shanchang and others implemented it... This is a complete system, and finally Lao Zhu's current pattern was formed.
Among the heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, no one had a strong think tank team like Lao Zhu. It was logical that they could not defeat Zhu Yuanzhang.
No, Zhang Shide led his troops and entered Hangzhou amidst cheers.
A group of wealthy businessmen bowed, and gentry and celebrities knelt inside the city gate to prepare for Zhang Shide's arrival.
One of the leaders is Wang Jue. He is the largest feudal merchant in Hangzhou City. He also holds dozens of large ships... How to describe him? He is probably a figure like Chen Deng of Xuzhou!
"General Zhang, you are finally here! When you arrive, there will be blue sky in Hangzhou!"
When Zhang Shide saw such an enthusiastic crowd, he was also very excited. The person named Zhu always prides himself on the people's support. How amazing can he think?
Isn't this something that happens in a matter of seconds?
It's so easy!
"Please don't worry, everyone. The Miao soldiers have harmed our elders in Hangzhou. I brought the troops here just to make people laugh and vent their anger!"
"Okay! General Zhang is truly a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, a teacher of kings!"
Wang Jue was also very satisfied and said hurriedly: "Come this way, General Zhang. The original government office is where Yang Wanzhe currently lives."
Zhang Shide agreed, immediately led his troops, followed the instructions, and rushed towards the government office.
At this moment, Yang Wanzhe was really doomed, and he felt the disaster of annihilation.
Zhang Shicheng, villain! You shameless villain!
Yang Wanzhe jumped and cursed, but what could he do? The four armies had left the city, and he now had less than 3,000 soldiers and horses at hand.
It is impossible to mobilize troops back.
The wealthy households in the city have also rebelled. Countless pairs of eyes are staring at him. They want to escape from Hangzhou, but they may not be able to do so.
He is really in a desperate situation and will be finished soon!
How did things become like this?
He chose to accept the reward from Yuan Ting and compete with Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, he couldn't accept Zhu Yuanzhang's ideas. His choice was not wrong!
The mistake was that we should not have chosen Zhang Shicheng as an ally!
Why is this ruthless, dishonest beast who can turn his back quickly than flipping through a book?
Yang Wanzhe was so angry that he desperately wanted to find someone to vent to.
At this time, Yang Wanzhe's brother, Yang Boyan (Boyan was also named), came to see Yang Wanzhe by himself.
It is Luo Guanzhong!
Lao Luo is simply crazy. He has never seen such a deceitful person. He originally persuaded Yang Wanzhe to cooperate with Zhang Shicheng to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang. Everything went smoothly. Yang Wanzhe sent troops, just waiting for Zhang Shicheng's cooperation, and the two sides joined forces.
Pain Lao Zhu!
But who knew that before Zhu Yuanzhang was fine, the two men started fighting among themselves.
Zhang Shicheng directly sent troops to Hangzhou. The most terrible thing was that he did not notify Luo Guanzhong in advance.
After all, in Zhang Shicheng’s opinion, how big is Hangzhou!
If you, Luo Guanzhong, are not dead, what do you mean?
In this way, without knowing it, Lao Luo was brought to Yang Wanzhe by Boyan.
"Brother, this beast deceived us. Cut him up first, and then call the brothers together to fight with that son of a bitch Zhang Shicheng!"
Luo Guanzhong really wanted to cry. He was abandoned by Zhang Shicheng. How lucky that I am so loyal to you, that you treat me like this?
"General Yang, I am wronged! I really have no other thoughts. I am only doing your best!"
"You fart!"
Yang Boyan raised his fist and gave Luo Guanzhong such a good beating that his bones almost broke.
Lao Luo was fighting to the death, and his strong desire to survive made him struggle to explain while carrying Yang Boyan's output, "I did not lie to the general, it was all Zhang Shicheng. He is capricious, and I have seen him clearly... General Yang,
Your only way to survive now is to seek refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang!"
After Luo Guanzhong yelled this sentence, he suddenly felt that the world was vast and he had an idea.
"General Yang, I, I know Wu Guogong! I have an old friendship with him, and I also know Zhang Youcheng. We have taken refuge with Wu Guogong together. As long as Wu Guogong protects us, we don't need to be afraid of Zhang Shicheng."
"Wu Guogong is a good man. He is talented and strategic, cherishes his subordinates, is affectionate and righteous, and will never betray his subordinates easily... Yes, quickly join Wu Guogong!"
Snap!
Before he finished speaking, Yang Boyan slapped Luo Guanzhong on the mouth, "You still want to lie to us? Don't even think about it! I'll beat you to death!"
He kicked Luo Guanzhong twice in the stomach. The pain made Luo almost unconscious, and most of his intestines were broken. I am a scholar, do you need to do this to me?
Yang Boyan was furious, drew out the knife, and wanted to kill someone.
At this time, there were already shouts of killing Zhentian outside. Zhang Shide led his troops and horses, approaching the government office more and more. Some Miao soldiers tried their best to resist, but their number was too small and they could not resist the internal and external cooperation.
All the servants of the wealthy families came out and joined the hunt for the Miao soldiers.
The whole city seemed to be boiling.
Faced with this situation, Yang Boyan was also frightened and looked at his brother hurriedly.
"Brother Xian, what should we do? Let's run away?"
Yang Wanzhe smiled helplessly, "Run? Where can we run? Hangzhou is more than a thousand miles away from our hometown! I, I can never go back!"
Another hero from the late Yuan Dynasty came to the end of his rope.
Yang Wanzhe initially raised troops to resist Yuan Ting, but he soon found that he and the Red Turban Army could not go together, so he could only take his Miao soldiers to defect to Yuan Ting and act as thugs to kill the Red Turban Army.
During this period, his father was killed in the war, and too many fellow villagers were killed one after another, either in battle or because they could not adapt to the environment.
But no matter how he died, Yang Wanzhe never felt any regret.
I even thought it was a price that must be paid.
He was loyal to the Yuan court, and the Yuan Dynasty did not treat him badly. He was rewarded with high officials and given new names. He was also willing to fight to the end for the Yuan Dynasty.
But who could have imagined that he would be stabbed in the back by Zhang Shicheng, who was also a minister of the Yuan Dynasty!
At this moment, he thought of Shi Mo Yisun who had just died... maybe this was his retribution?
If he had not watched Shi Moyisun die, but had decided to send troops, perhaps he would not be where he is today.
All this is retribution!
"Brother, Mr. Luo is a talented person. We are not only about to die, why should we harm him!"
Yang Boyan was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what his brother meant. His eyes turned red, and he said stupidly: "Are you really unable to go back?"
Yang Wanzhe did not speak, but leaned towards Luo Guanzhong on the ground and said: "Mr. Luo, if I surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang, wouldn't I become a repeating villain like Zhang Shicheng? I will not be such a person. You just said
He said he wanted to join Wu Guogong. I can’t say whether he is right or wrong, but he is better than Zhang Shicheng. You can choose your own path in the future!"
After Yang Wanzhe finished speaking, he took off a deer tendon rope, hung it on the beam, and then hung himself from the beam.
Yang Boyan was determined to rescue his brother. When Ke Er thought about it, even if he survived, what else could they do? Let Zhang Shicheng be captured?
It would be better to die.
Yang Boyan didn't dare to hang himself. He thought it was too painful, so he simply touched his neck.
The Yang brothers died, and Luo Guanzhong escaped death. Facing the two corpses, Luo Guanzhong kept rising and falling, feeling restless... What to do, what to do?
At this time, Zhang Shide led his troops and rushed in. He was stunned when he saw the two corpses. Looking at Luo Guanzhong on the ground, Zhang Shide was slightly surprised. This man was so lucky that he was not dead!
"Mr. Luo, what on earth is going on?"
Luo Guanzhong got up with difficulty and tried his best to smile.
"The Yang brothers committed suicide when they knew they were at the end of their rope...but they still have four troops outside. I am willing to chase them and make these troops surrender to Your Highness."
Although Zhang Shicheng surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty and took the imperial title, he did not call him Prince, but many people still called him His Highness in private.
Zhang Shide thought for a moment and reluctantly nodded.
"It's okay for you, sir, to get them back, but you can't take advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang. But no matter what, you can't bring them back to Hangzhou, and you can't let them harm the people in the city!"
Luo Guanzhong was startled, gritted his teeth and nodded, saying meaningfully: "Don't worry, I won't bring them back to disturb His Highness!"
