It was also the waterway of Poyang Lake. Kangtai rushed to ask for help, but Ni Wenjun was unmoved and did not even see him. On the other side, the businessman's family easily reached Wuyang Ferry and met Zhu Jiajun.
Fortunately, they escaped, because that night, the street where he lived was flooded, and more than twenty houses were all burned to the ground.
There is no other way. If you don't do it this way, how can you account for the huge sum of one thousand taels of gold, which is only ten taels of silver?
Keep it, if the general asks, the secret will definitely be exposed.
Moreover, maps need to be verified and verified. What if something goes wrong and they are not correct?
What, this guy knows the map is fake?
nonsense!
Can ten taels of silver buy a real map?
Do you really think this guy is a fool?
So since you knew it was fake, how could you still dare to send it to Ni Wenjun?
If we lose the battle, wouldn't that be a bad thing?
Defeat? Is it serious? Anyway, the general is planning to defect to Yuan Tatar. As long as he is allowed to participate in the political affairs of Huguang Province, he can kill Xu Shouhui... I will allow you, General Ni, to do whatever it takes for the sake of glory and wealth, and we will not allow the people below to find him.
A way out?
Of the one thousand taels of gold, I took out 500 taels of gold and sent it back to my hometown to hide it.
No matter who wins or loses, as long as we have money in our hands, we probably won't suffer a loss.
Neither Ni Wenjun nor Chen Youliang realized that when they started scheming against each other and fighting for their own personal prosperity and wealth, the prosperous Tianwan was already full of loopholes...
Perhaps they are still powerful, still arrogant and arrogant, but they are just soulless bodies.
When Maitreya, who was willing to sacrifice his life for Monk Peng, came into the world, the simple ideal of world harmony completely disappeared, and all that was left was fighting for power and killing each other.
…
"The villain pays homage to Duke Wu."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the businessman in front of him with a solemn expression, "What did you say? Ni Wenjun is going to attack Yingtian, how did you know?"
"When I returned to Wu Guogong, Ni Wenjun sent his men to buy a map of Jinling with a thousand taels of gold and the docks of prefectures and counties along the way. His intention to plot Jinling is clearly revealed!"
"Oh! He is willing to pay so much money? Why did you come to join us again?"
The businessman's face was full of confusion and pain for a long time. Zhu Yuanzhang became impatient and became suspicious. Only then did he kowtow vigorously and tell the truth.
"Going back to Duke Wu, he, he paid so much, but the people below were exploiting him at all levels. In my hands, I only had ten taels of silver. I, I had no choice but to draw a fake map to deal with Ni Wenjun.
.I was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so I escaped and asked Duke Wu for asylum!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard that one thousand taels of gold turned into ten taels of silver. This greed was outrageous!
To be honest, Zhu Yuanzhang has been immune to the torment of strange people and strange things over the years. Who would have thought that a small soldier, one man and a horse, could enter the city and capture the general. A thief dared to jump out and surrender voluntarily. Those high-ranking officials of the Yuan Dynasty
, after being captured, they all turned out to be talents...
From this point of view, spending ten taels of silver to buy a fake map and then attacking Jinling is not necessarily fake news!
It’s such a weird year!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it again and again, and finally ordered that several core civil and military officials be called over to discuss it quickly.
Not long after, Zhang Ximeng, Zhu Sheng, Xu Da and others all arrived.
After everyone heard the news, they thought it was incredible at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be reasonable.
Zhang Ximeng first said: "Lord, according to our people's secret report, Ni Wenjun seems to be willing to accept the imperial edict of the Yuan Dynasty. Chen Youliang rushed back and suddenly killed the whole family of Kuan Chepuhua, just to prevent Ni Wenjun from surrendering to the Yuan Dynasty.
Their connection.”
After several years of operation, Zhu Jiajun's intelligence system has become quite powerful.
Wu Datou's escape from Dadu does not mean that Zhu Jiajun's intelligence system in Dadu has collapsed...On the contrary, in recent years, countless new people have been added to work for Zhu Jiajun.
There are countless three religions and nine streams, and everyone has them.
From the humblest beggar to the young and energetic scholar, the most outrageous thing is that there are many Mongolians and Semu people here.
What’s even more unbelievable is that more than 70% to 80% of them don’t want any compensation.
Zhu Jiajun's outline for allocating land, Song Lian's memorial in front of Zongze's tomb, the recent decree on granting land to women, including school plans, taxation policies... and those classic opera works.
Everything is spreading rapidly among the people, and people gradually place their hopes on Zhu Jiajun... Maybe the people he can come into contact with are still not worth mentioning compared to the total number of people, and they cannot change the overall situation of the world, but as long as someone can
In each industry, there are one or two insiders who are willing to support Zhu Jiajun. They take the initiative to pass all kinds of news to Zhu Jiajun and do things for Zhu Jiajun.
The energy generated is unparalleled.
It's shameful to say that what Guo Ying is worried about now is not that there is no news, but that there is too much news and he doesn't know how to choose.
It only took Tianwan and Jinling two or three days to go down the river. Ni Wenjun and his gang were careless in their work, so there was no need to be surprised at all when Zhu Jiajun found out.
"Ni Wenjun and his like are capricious and only care about their own glory and wealth. It is reasonable for them to be separated, greedy for money and gain, regardless of everything." When Zhang Ximeng said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Master, we
You should take this as a warning!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was solemn. It sounded like a joke, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't dare to take it as a joke. Even after laughing, he felt chills running down his spine and shuddering.
He is also the leader of a party, commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and has millions of people. Zhu Yuanzhang knows the links here best.
Conquering the world is not about doing business. When you are a boss, as long as the money is in place, the people below will work seriously.
But competing for supremacy is not possible, because the risks in this industry are too great, and the benefits are also too great...If you succeed, you will be the master of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, if you lose, you will never recover, and there is no other choice at all.
Therefore, people in it will not give up their hearts and souls and give their lives to you just because of a little financial favor. They will never even think about it.
Why do you think that a person like Lu Bu An Lushan will stick to the bottom line of his life and only be devoted to you and obey your orders? This is logically unreasonable!
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the most important thing for him to win the recognition of his subordinates is to lead by example, be consistent in appearance and deeds, be fair in rewards and punishments, and stick to the bottom line. The decrees made must be implemented without compromise. Even if it is Hu Sanshe, he will kill if he says so.
Kill.
In troubled times, what we fear most is instability and uncertainty.
Ni Wenjun had the intention of ordering peace, and the people inside Tianwan were unstable, and a big chaos immediately occurred, so naturally he had to take warning.
In this way, it is not that the Zhu Jiajun is monolithic and everyone is a loyal and virtuous minister.
If one thousand taels of gold were placed in front of him, there wouldn't be many people in the Zhu Jiajun who could withstand the test.
But according to the virtue of Ni Wenjun's subordinates, if they want them to pay one thousand taels of gold to buy Zhu Jiajun, I don't know whether Ni Wenjun will pay one hundred thousand taels or one million taels... It seems that Zhu Jiajun is still reliable overall.
There is no way, it is too difficult to buy.
"Mr. Zhang reminds us that we must strictly enforce military discipline and implement laws and regulations... We must let everyone know that we mean what we say, we are the same as what we say, and we will never go back on our word!"
Lao Zhu said decisively that this matter was even more important than fighting.
After finishing speaking, Lao Zhu continued to discuss the war at hand.
"Ni Wenjun won't come, but will attack Jinling. What should we do?"
Zhu Sheng thought about it: "Your Majesty, although Ni Wenjun made a fake map, it is really ridiculous. But this man is fierce and good at fighting and should not be underestimated. The mistake in the map can make him suffer, but it is not enough to make him give up the idea of attacking Jinling. We
There are not many choices, the safest option is to withdraw the troops, choose a location along the Yangtze River, and give them a head-on attack." Zhu Sheng said this and looked at the three people in front of him.
I found that not only Zhang Ximeng, but also Zhu Yuanzhang, and even Xu Da were frowning.
They have besieged Hongdu for so long and have already breached the city wall. If they retreat, it will be even more difficult to break through Hongdu next time.
And looking at it from another perspective, is it really possible to defeat Ni Wenjun by immediately returning support?
It doesn't seem to be that simple.
Xu Da pondered for a while and then suddenly said: "Upon command, Ni Wenjun attacked Jinling with the intention of forcing us to return to the army. Can we conquer Hongdu immediately and attack Jiangzhou instead to force Ni Wenjun to return reinforcements?"
Zhang Ximeng's eyes widened. This was a good idea. Isn't it just a change of home?
It's just easier said than done. The key is whether the Zhu Jiajun along the Yangtze River can hold on?
Also, Ni Wenjun took a fake map, who knows where he will attack from...
Now it was Zhu Jiajun who was in trouble.
"Let's do this, send an order immediately, tell Li Shanchang of Jinling first, and let him order a warning. Then, Xu Da, you and Chang Yuchun Hu Dahai storm Hongdu, and then send people to persuade Hu Tingrui to surrender. Within five days, Hongdu will be conquered.
If it doesn’t work, we will have to retreat first.”
After Zhu Yuanzhang made his decision, he subconsciously glanced at Zhang Ximeng and found that Zhang Ximeng nodded vigorously, fully agreeing with Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement.
The Zhu Jiajun immediately took action. It was time to deliver messages, it was time to persuade people to surrender, it was time to prepare for an offensive and prepare for an offensive... In one word, the Zhu Jiajun was on the move.
Above the river, the wind and waves are surging. On both sides of the Yangtze River, the rice is growing well. Soon, there will be a bumper harvest. First, Timur leads a few veterinarians and is trimming the hooves of local farmers in Dingjiazhou. They are very busy.
Very happy.
Not far away, more than 20,000 soldiers and prisoners are building castles, paving roads and bridges here in preparation for the development of Tongling's minerals.
Accompanying the 20,000 prisoners were actually 500 soldiers from the Guards Division led by Guo Xing.
Guo Xing is Guo Ying's elder brother. He is calm and thoughtful. His reputation in the military is even higher than that of Guo Ying.
He was chatting with some wizards in the prison camp when he suddenly saw them running over in a hurry, covered in cow dung.
"Guo Qianhu, something bad has happened. Eighteen thousand people have landed in Dingjiazhou and are heading this way!"
Guo Xing was shocked, "What? Where did they come from?"
Timur swallowed first and said worriedly: "Look, the flag is Tianwan's soldiers, Guo Qianhu, you should make up your mind quickly!"
Guo Xing frowned. He led his troops to build a city fortress. The defense here was relatively strong, but the problem was that he only had 500 soldiers, while the opponent had 18,000.
"Let's start with Timur, you can't get it wrong, right?"
He cried first, "I have led hundreds of thousands of people, how can I be wrong? Guo Qianhu, please think of a way quickly! Otherwise, let Tianwan's thieves come and kill us, and we will be doomed!"
we!
Guo Xing was startled, then turned around and looked at the group of people in front of him... Privy Councilor Xuexue, Zhongshu Councilor Gong Bosui, General Alu Hui, Bie Buhua, Wanhu Nahachu, Yang Zhongying, etc.
.
Guo Xing suddenly took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Are you willing to fight side by side with us?"
When these people heard this, they were also dumbfounded. Is this possible?
