Dare to love is not a good show, but a bucket of rice!
No, there is a rice reward. Why are there so many people? The seats are not full?
Could it be that if there is no rice, there will be no one?
The more Zhang Shicheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply jumped up and went to settle the score with Shi Naian. He turned around and walked out, but was not careful and was stopped by several people. These people were his soldiers.
"You want to leave too, Captain Zhang's play?"
Zhang Shicheng went crazy with anger, "I came to the show, not to suffer!"
"Bah! You deserve to be punished for this crappy show! You just stay in there, and when the song is over, you will still have a bucket of rice. If you leave now, we will arrest you, throw you into prison, and give you a life sentence
A crime of disrespect!"
Zhang Shicheng's eyes widened, and he was furious. I am so disrespectful to my superiors? It's you who are doing the wrong thing!
Zhang Shicheng wanted to show his identity and dealt with these shady people. But the problem is that once people know that he came to watch this show in disguise and encountered such an embarrassing thing, he will immediately become a laughing stock and spread everywhere.
yes.
That would be too embarrassing.
With no other choice, Zhang Shicheng could only hold back his anger, sit down, and continue watching the show.
But this time Zhang Shicheng didn't enjoy it so much...
What kind of crap is this?
It’s a mess, one moment it’s all about singing and dancing, the next moment it’s followed by a group of old men cursing, and the lyrics are pieced together, looking like everything and nothing at all!
Listening to this play is simply torture!
Isn’t Shi Naian quite capable? That’s all you have in writing dramas?
You wait!
I'm not done with you anymore!
Suzhou and Hangzhou have a great collection of literary styles and literati. There are so many knowledgeable and talented people. Who is there with Zhu Yuanzhang? What interesting things can they write?
How about fighting, that's another matter. If it can't even compare to the drama, that would be too shameless.
No, I absolutely cannot bear it!
After Zhang Shicheng thought about it, he decided that I would spend money to collect drama scripts and play opposite Zhu Yuanzhang. I didn't believe I could win.
In the second half, Zhang Shicheng simply stopped listening and was filled with plans.
Zhang Shicheng actually gave the order later. When he heard that there was a reward, it was incredible.
Due to the uncertain wars these days, many literati have lost their source of livelihood and are too poor to blame. Although it is embarrassing to write plays, we can use pen names!
Since ancient times, there have been so many story-telling novels handed down, but for some of them the real author can be found.
Come on, don't you want to act opposite Zhu Jiajun?
We can write!
Sure enough, many masterpieces were soon delivered to Zhang Shicheng. The contents were all kinds of things, but overall, they were just one article: try your best to blackmail Zhu Yuanzhang!
Some people say that Lao Zhu was born in poverty and stole things everywhere since he was a child. Later, after he became a monk, he cheated and drank everywhere. He was a gangster and a scoundrel.
This kind of thing is purely scolding, and Zhang Shicheng is not very interested. Looking further down, it is written that Zhu Jiajun is a devil and can't walk when he sees a woman.
From Haozhou to Chuzhou, from Hezhou to Jinling, Zhu Yuanzhang ruined more than a million people! He entered the bridal chamber every day!
"fart!"
Zhang Shicheng was so angry that he threw it away. Not to mention that he couldn't deceive people, even if he could, the people would only sigh that Zhu Yuanzhang was in good health.
I'm asking you to scold someone, but why do you look like I'm complimenting you?
"Mr. Shi, aren't you literati the best at covering up your mistakes? Why can't you do this so well?"
Shi Naian really cried, "Your Highness, please forgive me for the death penalty... When we write something, we must have a basis. How can we win people's trust if we just make it up randomly? Your Highness, please forgive me for having the courage to speak out and return it."
Please, Your Highness, take care of the people and do little corvee and low taxes. When the time comes, you may be able to..."
Shi Naian couldn't speak any more, and Zhang Shicheng was also speechless.
In other words, you can’t even praise it?
This is too embarrassing!
After all, Zhang Shicheng didn't do anything to Shi Naian, he just let him go down... This bad thing spread quickly, making it known to everyone, and everyone was laughing at Zhang Shicheng like crazy.
The news also spread to Jinling. Liu Bowen and others couldn't help but laugh, "This is called painting a tiger instead of a dog. Zhang Shicheng is really humiliating himself!"
Song Lian also said: "Zhang Shicheng is capricious, greedy for profit, has no love for the people, and is a benevolent king. Even if you try to brag about it, you can't do it."
After everyone laughed, Zhang Ximeng suddenly thought of an idea.
"Zhang Shicheng asked someone below to write a play. I didn't know what to write for the moment, but if there is anyone who can draw, I would like to give him a painting."
Liu Bowen asked curiously: "What is Zhang Xiang going to paint? My ink paintings are still good, and brother Jing Lian's landscapes, flowers and birds are also pretty good."
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "It's nothing, just a picture of Zhang Shicheng watching a play."
"Zhang Shicheng is watching a play? This one is about painting characters!"
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Yes, I really want to draw a character... but this character is a bit special."
"Special?" Liu Bowen didn't understand, so Zhang Ximeng had no choice but to say... First, draw a magnificent house with a big ivory bed. Then draw a young and heroic guard with a majestic weapon and a handsome face. Then draw a woman with a phoenix crown and a beautiful robe.
People must be noble.
Their eyes met each other, full of affection!
"This, what is this?"
"This is Mrs. Zhang and the guards."
"Then, what about Zhang Shicheng?"
"Zhang Shicheng went to the theater!"
Liu Bowen, Song Lian and others looked at each other and tried hard to hold it in for a while. Finally, they couldn't hold it in anymore and they laughed wildly together. The signing room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
If it doesn't work, it must be arranged for Zhang Shicheng.
Speaking of the prison in Hangzhou, two people were imprisoned one after another. They asked each other, why were you arrested?
The first person said, I suggest that King Cheng accept the imperial edict of the Yuan Dynasty.
The second person said, I am opposed to King Cheng accepting the imperial edict.
After a while, the third person came. The question between the two people was, do you support Zhao'an or oppose Zhao'an?
The third person said with a dark face: I am Zhang Shicheng!
…
It is said that Zhang Shicheng responded to the uprising of the Red Scarf Army, led his troops, killed the greedy and ignorant Yuan army, and then took his mother to his mansion.
Let the old lady appreciate the splendor of the mansion, all kinds of expensive furnishings, and priceless supplies.
After seeing it, the old lady said to Zhang Shicheng: "My son, these things are good, but what should you do if the Red Scarf Army comes to kill?"
These precious intangible cultural heritages quickly spread to Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Unfortunately, Zhang Shicheng was really lucky. If it had been anywhere else, there wouldn't have been such a strong response, but there were so many citizens in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the opera was so prosperous!
Kun Opera, Pingtan, all kinds of styles, a hundred flowers bloom.
The citizens quickly accepted these jokes and carried them forward. They were used to warm up the scene before the start of the big play... For example, a big man came to the Taiwei Mansion to pay homage to Zhang Shicheng. The gatekeeper asked him, what do you do? The man said,
I followed Taiwei Zhang to escape in Gaoyou. The gatekeeper immediately refuted it and said, "What a fart! Everyone knows that Taiwei Zhang was a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty and had never fought against the Yuan army..."
Faced with endless jokes, Zhang Shicheng just wanted to cry without tears.
Zhang Ximeng is slightly satisfied with the effect.
But having said that, what really matters is how to deal with Tianwan.
It took half a year to finally train tens of thousands of Miao soldiers.
Now it’s time to come into play.
However, there was a dispute within Zhu Jiajun about who could take on this task.
The reason is simple. This trip to southwestern Hunan is not just about fighting. It is about promoting local reforms, gaining support from the Miao people, establishing a base area, and raiding Tianwan's rear.
Adding up several tasks, there are absolutely very few who can be perfectly competent.
First of all, forget about powerful generals like Hu Dahai, Chang Yuchun, and Hua Yun, they are definitely not good enough.
In addition, simple civil servants cannot bear it.
He must be able to be both civil and military, and he must also win the trust of Zhu Yuanzhang and be able to stand alone...After much calculation, the most suitable person turned out to be Zhang Ximeng!
"Lord, why don't you let me lead the troops?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
Lao Zhu flatly refused, joking, Zhang Ximeng is capable of doing this, but the Wu Kingdom in China has so many things, from top to bottom, from the inside out, nothing can happen without Zhang Ximeng!
He would rather not send anyone than let Zhang Ximeng go.
But this matter is troublesome. If Zhang Ximeng is not allowed to go, who else can do it?
"Your Majesty, please let me go!"
The person who spoke was none other than Tang He, who came from Yangzhou to report on his work.
Lao Zhu was slightly startled. Tang He was the first to follow him. He knew all the strategies used by Zhu Jiajun along the way. Later Tang He was responsible for guarding Yangzhou, taking charge of his own duties and honing many talents.
Although Lao Tang may not be the strongest in fighting, his comprehensive ability, qualifications, and loyalty are all impeccable.
Looking at it this way, it really can only be Tanghe.
Lao Zhu stretched out his hand, patted Tang He's shoulder hard, and said nothing.
Lao Tang cannot be left alone, and he must be assigned several subordinates.
After some screening, Zhou Dexing, Zhu Liangzu, and Lan Yu were selected. In addition, Liu Bowen fought hard, and he also went on the expedition with everyone, taking care of logistics documents and other matters.
"You are different from the past when you go here. You have to be careful of the enemy, and you must be careful of your own people. The open and covert attacks are extraordinary... These are the Miao soldiers. Most of them are good, but it is inevitable that there are some who are both good and bad. They
After I go back, I will collude with the chieftain and harm you in turn."
Zhang Ximeng warned Tang He and Liu Bowen repeatedly, and they both listened patiently. Tang He nodded frequently, and finally he said: "Mr. Zhang's reminder is engraved in my heart. It can be said that Yuan Ting's power in Jiangnan has collapsed.
The chieftains in southwestern Huguang are densely packed and scheming with each other. They are not monolithic. As long as they use the right methods, they can gain a firm foothold!"
Liu Bowen also said: "Yes, we are taking over the southwest land for the superiors in advance. No matter how difficult it is, we will never look back!"
Zhang Ximeng nodded vigorously and felt inspired.
After all, it does not take just one wise emperor to create a prosperous world.
Only when everyone works together can we achieve something.
"Then I wish you success in advance...either in three years or in five years, we will definitely be able to win the battle, and by then we will be able to conquer the Central Plains and restore China!"
Tang He and Liu Bowen stood up together, and the meeting was successful!
It was definitely impossible to send so many people there together. Tang He led an advance army of 3,000 people, passed Ganzhou, went straight to Jingzhou, and headed to the south of Huguang to open up a new situation.
As long as they can gain a firm foothold, follow-up troops will immediately move over to give Tang He the strongest support.
Zhang Ximeng also considered the difficulty of transporting supplies by land, so he prepared a batch of ordnance and food, borrowed fifty merchant ships from Fang Guozhen, and transported them to Guangzhou, then sailed upstream from the Zhen River and handed them over to Tang He in Shaozhou.
As you can see from the map, they are actually very close to each other.
As long as Tang He successfully obtained the supplies, he could stride to Jingzhou and take over the Yang family's territory in Wuxi.
However, something unexpected happened. Jiang Ying, who was responsible for escorting this batch of supplies, chatted with Fang Guozhen's men all the way, talking about what they had learned in training, the insights they gained, and the truths they understood. They even talked about what they had learned after returning to their hometown.
Things to do and enthusiastically imagine a better future.
Jiang Ying chatted happily, but she did not expect that the listeners were interested. The more the Fang Jiajun thought about it, the more reasonable they became. After arriving in Guangzhou, Fang Guozhen's subordinates actually decided together to join the Zhu Jiajun.
Faced with this situation, Jiang Yingcai was shocked to realize that they seemed to have learned some great skills! Maybe changing their hometown is not a dream!
