Although Kangtai was defeated and captured, he was not a weakling. He gritted his teeth and was unwilling to accept it anyway. He was actually defeated at the hands of a group of geese.
"Kill! Even if you kill me, you won't survive!"
Zhu Wenzheng sneered, "Killing you is easier than crushing a chicken. I will send you to the West now!"
"Someone, put him on the cannon!"
The soldiers immediately put Kangtai down, and then put him in the spoon where the projectiles were. This thing can throw two hundred kilograms of projectiles, and it can also throw a living person weighing more than one hundred kilograms.
Kangtai seemed to be able to see himself taking off on the spot, flying straight to the city of Hongdu, and then smashing his head against the city wall, shattering his body to pieces on the ground.
There are many ways to die, but being able to die so creatively makes you smile.
"Hu Tingrui, stop resisting and surrender quickly!"
Some soldiers shouted towards the city, "See, your nephew is going to die!"
How could Hu Tingrui not know that the loss of three thousand elites had already made him furious, and the loss of a nephew made him even more furious.
"It's useless! I told you clearly, don't underestimate the enemy, don't underestimate the enemy! It's better to seek death yourself!" Hu Tingrui scolded Kangtai, but after all, he was his nephew, and he was about to be shattered to pieces, so what could he do?
Tian Wan, who fought and won consecutively, was not a member of the Yuan army.
When Zhang Ximeng arranged for people to stew meat under Yangzhou City, it directly destroyed the morale of the army.
Tianwan is different. They are a thriving team. Although they encounter setbacks occasionally, they will not give in!
"People surnamed Zhu, come here! You want me to surrender, just dream!"
Hu Tingrui was as hard as a rock, and Zhu Wenzheng was so angry that he really wanted to cut off the rope with a knife and launch Kangtai...
However, Zhu Wenzheng was not able to take action in the end. This was not because he was soft-hearted, but because Zhang Ximeng had already given the order.
This time the Zhu Jiajun's combat strategy was to encircle the points for reinforcements and ravage the defenders, just to weaken the combat effectiveness. What was really important was the reinforcements.
The most important thing is to be able to severely damage Tianwan in Hongdu and curb their development momentum towards the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
The problem is that Hongdu has been besieged for more than a month, and it is still indifferent. This is not okay!
"Kangtai, you are lucky. We can let you go, but we can't let you go back to Hongdu. You go to Jiangzhou now to see Ni Wenjun and tell him that we have an appointment with him to fight in Hongdu. A battle will determine life or death." , go!”
Zhang Ximengsai gave Kangtai a letter, and then asked someone to take him to Wuyang Ferry, then took a boat into Poyang Lake, and then went straight to Jiangzhou.
Although Kangtai avoided being shattered to pieces, it was still not a fun thing to do this time.
Ni Wenjun has already taken action against Chen Youliang. As Chen Youliang's general, who knows if Ni Wenjun will be willing to rescue him? If he doesn't send troops, these tens of thousands of brothers and the city of Hongdu may not be saved.
Once Hongdu falls into the hands of the Zhu Jiajun, Fuzhou, Ji'an, and Ganzhou in the south may all fall into the hands of the Zhu Jiajun. At that time, the comparison of the strengths and weaknesses of the two sides will probably be written.
No matter what, Ni Wenjun is still Tianwan’s general, he can’t even understand this!
Kangtai hesitated again and again, but after landing, he decisively went to Jiangzhou and asked to see Ni Wenjun.
At this time, Ni Wenjun was stationed in Jiangzhou and did not move.
Along with Ni Wenjun, Taishi Zou Pusheng, General Zhao Pusheng and others also sent troops. It can be said that they gathered elites, including land and water armies, with more than 100,000 men and horses, and they were fierce.
According to this situation, the Poyang Lake War will probably break out early, and the protagonist of the war will be Ni Wenjun versus Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, Ni Wenjun was quite dissatisfied after Chen Youliang killed Kuan Chepuhua's family members and ended the road to Zhao'an.
He drank in the army all day long, and even hired many people to perform operas for him. He just had fun day and night, but did nothing.
This moment made Zou Pusheng and others anxious.
There is still a war in Hongdu right now. If you want to do something, you have to stand up!
Forced into desperation, Zou Pusheng and Zhao Pusheng came to find Ni Wenjun together.
Counting it all, among the Pu generation, there are several people named Pu Sheng. In addition to these two, there is also Li Pu Sheng, which can be regarded as the simple and beautiful wish of Monk Peng.
Zhao Pusheng was an old acquaintance. When the Chaohu Navy wanted to go out to the Yangtze River, they had dealt with him. Zhao Pusheng was also honest and did not dare to fall out with Zhu Jiajun.
Later, he saw that Tianwan had regained his strength and returned to Tianwan.
"General, Zhu Yuanzhang has a majestic appearance, and he has many capable people under his command to strategize. He should not be underestimated!"
Ni Wenjun rolled his drunken eyes and said hehe: "Seriously? Who is there? I want to hear it?"
Zhao Pusheng took a deep breath and said, "General, Zhu Yuanzhang's left minister Li Shanchang, needless to say, right minister Zhang Ximeng, it is said that this person was born in the Zhang family, and the predecessor of the family is Mr. Zhang Yanghao of Yunzhuang. He has extraordinary knowledge and plans to equalize land."
Fang Lue can be called a genius of his time! Jia Lu, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, actually joined Zhu Yuanzhang, and now Zhu Sheng, Wang Guangyang, Yang Xian, Liu Ji and others have been added to the army, all of whom are talented at the moment."
Ni Wenjun frowned and said doubtfully: "Listen to what you said, they are just surrendered ministers, nothing special. Yuan Ting is so honest, why didn't they arrest their family members and exterminate them all?"
Zou Pusheng and Zhao Pusheng couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. You really can't understand! The family members who killed Zhang Ximeng, his parents are long gone, and there are no direct relatives in their hometown.
It would be very lively if even the clan members were involved. Don’t forget, in the hands of Zhu Jiajun, there were no less than 100,000 Mongolian prisoners, and there were so many Mongolians and Semu people... Once this started,
I don’t know who is more unlucky!
It's not that Yuan Ting showed mercy, but that he didn't dare to break the jar.
Even now, there are still many Han officials in the Yuan Dynasty, and there are also Han soldiers in the army. If it really leads to desperate killings, won't the Mongols have to repeat the story of Hou Zhao?
"General, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang is good at winning over people's hearts, and his subordinates are good at governing and governing the people... I think we should get rid of Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as possible. Only by winning the battle can we sit back and relax!" Zhao Pusheng painstakingly advised.
.
Ni Wenjun listened silently and suddenly smiled, "Old Zhao, I am just a fisherman, as you know. Now I occupy the territory of several provinces and have hundreds of thousands of troops. I can't believe it. You said it
Today, what else do I want? What else do I plan to do? Who else is there above me, the great general? You tell me!"
Ni Wenjun suddenly grabbed Zhao Pusheng, shook him hard, and stared at him with a half-smile on his face.
Zhao Pusheng's heart suddenly sank, and his face became ugly.
The Grand Master Zou Pusheng next to him frowned even more. Logically speaking, his status was higher than that of Ni Wenjun, but it was obvious that Ni Wenjun would not care about his Grand Master.
"General, the Yuan family has lost its virtue, and all the heroes in the world are vying for the throne. Heroes have risen together. Not to mention the north, even from all over the south, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng, even Fang Guozhen, Chen Youding... Who doesn't want to compete in the Central Plains and dominate the world? Now we have a few
Provincial land, with millions of armors, is a great opportunity to swallow up the world and restore the Song family. If the general can achieve such a feat, even if it is placed in the annals of history, there will be few people who can compare with the general."
What Zou Pusheng said was very reasonable. Zhao Pusheng nodded quickly, "General, I mean the same thing!"
Ni Wenjun was startled, then suddenly smiled helplessly, "Hey, even if you conquer the world, you are not a minister. Whether you are the prime minister or in charge of a province, it is nothing more than that. How much better can you be than now?"
Neither of them are fools. Ni Wenjun made his intentions clear. After he rejected the idea of Zhaoan, he actually planned to change his mind and directly replace Xu Shouhui as emperor!
For him, climbing up is his pursuit.
Serving the Yuan Dynasty as a province and participating in political affairs was more prestigious than serving Xu Shouhui as a general, so he was willing to issue an imperial edict.
Now that Zhao'an cannot succeed, he might as well replace Xu Shouhui.
Zou Pusheng and Zhao Pusheng no longer knew what to say. This guy was really obsessed.
After being silent for a long time, Zou Pusheng said: "A great general is a hero in troubled times, and the virtuous people live here. Now with millions of soldiers, if we can capture Jinling, destroy Zhu Yuanzhang, and by the way destroy Zhang Shicheng and others, and dominate the world, then naturally it will be done by someone with great merit.
Lord, everyone in the world will be sincerely convinced."
Zou Pusheng wanted to make a big deal for Ni Wenjun and persuaded him to kill Zhu Yuanzhang first, but Ni Wenjun actually took it seriously. He laughed and said: "The grand master is wise! So as long as we capture Jinling, you will treat me as your master.
?”
Zou Pusheng took a breath, he had never seen such a shameless person before.
He gritted his teeth and said, "The general can really capture Jinling. When the time comes, all the people will join him."
Zou Pusheng did not say whether he planned to support Ni Wenjun, but Ni Wenjun already thought so.
"You don't need to be in a hurry. When it comes to war, we have already made plans in our hearts... Isn't there a saying in the military book? Know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in any battle. In fact, I have already ordered a reward of one thousand taels of gold from the merchants traveling to and from the Yangtze River.
In your hand, buy a map. Where can we land, where are the defenders, where are the roads smooth, and where are the passes difficult." Ni Wenjun chuckled, "Since I led the troops to fight, I have conquered everything and been invincible. I am invincible, but you won't.
Do you think I just rely on luck?"
Shy!
Zou Pusheng and Zhao Pusheng were both shocked. They really didn't expect that Ni Wenjun would do such a big thing behind their backs.
"General, can you really get the map?"
Ni Wenjun smiled and said, "There must be brave men under heavy rewards. I paid a thousand taels of gold. How many people can't earn so much money in their lifetimes? How could they lie to me? If Hongdu is in danger again, Zhu Yuanzhang will
After getting out of the formation, I just want to wait for work and trick us into going there. How can I be such a stupid person? Don't worry, go tell that Kangtai, don't worry, just wait for me to break Jinling, and his uncle will be safe.
."
Ni Wenjun talked and laughed with ease, and his strong confidence left both Zou Pusheng and Zhao Pusheng speechless.
This man is unreliable in other places, but when it comes to fighting, he is really a good hand. Could he really be allowed to invade Jinling, replace Xu Shouhui, and ascend the throne as emperor?
Both Zou Pusheng and Zhao Pusheng sighed and were worried.
As a result of this incident, I don’t know whether I am looking forward to winning or fearing to win...
While they were discussing, on the other side, Ni Wenjun's men were holding ten taels of silver and placing them in front of a businessman.
"Draw for me everything on the road from Jiangzhou to Jinling, and hand it over to me within ten days."
The businessman looked at the mere ten taels of silver and grinned. This matter is not that simple. In order to get the map, in addition to drawing a part from memory, the rest needs help from others, and even on-site survey. Ten days.
Regardless of whether time is enough or not, these ten taels of silver are too shabby.
The businessman was very embarrassed, "I'm afraid I can't do it..."
"What?"
Ni Wenjun's men sneered, "If you don't want to help, then you are going against us! Come and take their whole family away!"
The businessman was shocked, this was so unreasonable!
"I know that you have a lot of experience in traveling to and from the Yangtze River. Within ten days, I will give you the map and return your family to you, without missing a hair. If you don't hand over the map, I will let your family reunite underground!"
The businessman was filled with grief and anger. Ten days later, he handed over a map. After checking it, he was very satisfied and returned it to his family with a smile.
"That's right. I'll see you next time if I have anything to do."
Seeing the person leaving, the businessman grabbed his wife and children and walked away quickly!
The family, who still didn't understand what was going on, came out of the back door and got into a carriage hired for ten taels of silver.
"Go to the ferry, let's go to Hongdu, and tell Duke Wu what happened! Well, I drew that map, and I want to let Duke Wu know!"
When the wife heard this, her face turned pale with shock and said: "Well, if Wu Guogong knows that you draw maps for those beasts, he won't kill you? Where are we going to Hongdu? Don't you want to live anymore?"
The businessman had a sullen face. He couldn't hold it in for a long time and couldn't help but laugh: "I drew that map blindly at home. Follow that map and make sure they never come back!"
The wife was startled, then suddenly covered her face and started laughing so hard that tears came out of her eyes.
"Okay, well done, sir! You have been scared for these ten days, and you have avenged us!"
