These two people are more or less a little embarrassed.
Just sitting opposite each other, they were as embarrassed as a newlywed couple entering and exiting the bridal chamber, as if they were at a loss what to do, but Fu Youde was dressed in bright red, and Ding Pulang had a red silk hanging around his waist...
After all, Ding Pulang had a higher official position and was more experienced. He hummed: "Why did General Fu betray the master?"
Fu Youde subconsciously straightened his back and said loudly: "I was originally a minister of the Xiao Ming King, and I was an ally with the King of Wu. I occasionally lived in Bashu and was bullied. Also, seeing that Chen Youliang was not the master of the Ming Dynasty, I had a desire to surrender. I have a relationship with the King of Wu.
The origins are in front of me, and I have not been in office for a long time, so why not take refuge with the King of Wu?"
These few words made Ding Pulang speechless, but they seemed to make sense.
Fu Youde did not want to let him go, and even continued to ask: "I surrendered to the King of Wu. It is excusable. Why did the general also defect to the King of Wu?"
Ding Pulang's old face turned red instantly, as if someone had roughly torn off a layer of skin. He was filled with anger and glared at Fu Youde.
But Fu Youde was not a good person, and he looked back at Ding Pulang, as if the two of them were fighting with each other.
At the end of the confrontation, it was Ding Pulang who broke the deadlock again.
"Brother Fu, do you know where the word "Pu" in my name comes from?"
Fu Youde said: "Of course it comes from Patriarch Peng, who is famous in the Peng Party. Who in the world doesn't know it?"
Ding Pulang nodded, "Yes, everyone knows the name of Peng Dang... I am a member of Peng Dang. Do you know that when I was a child, I almost froze to death? It was Patriarch Peng who saw that I was still breathing.
He held me in his arms and sat in the Tutu Temple all night to save my life. I was still very young at that time, and I just listened to his old man saying that Maitreya Buddha is the most compassionate. As long as Maitreya comes to the world, the Buddha Kingdom on earth will be
.At that time, everyone will have clothes to wear, everyone will be fed and warm, and there will no longer be worries about cold and hunger, and there will no longer be separation of flesh and blood..."
Ding Pulang mentioned Monk Peng, a pioneer who spent his whole life fighting the Yuan Dynasty...perhaps not the most capable, nor the smartest, but the most resilient. It was his perseverance that kept cultivating talents and instilling in them
Overthrowing the ideals of the Yuan Dynasty, he eventually cultivated an astonishing number of key members. These men with the character "Peng" in their names became an important part of the people who buried the Yuan Dynasty.
Ding Pulang recalled the past with great emotion. Looking back at the present, he could only sigh and lament.
"General Fu, what do you think of the current Tianwan? Is it still the coming of Maitreya into the world of great light?"
Fu Youde looked at Ding Pulang carefully with a straight face, and suddenly said: "Do you really believe this?"
Unexpectedly, Ding Pulang said without hesitation: "I believe it! Even though Patriarch Peng is dead, Tianwan is becoming more and more unsightly now, but I ultimately believe that people are kind-hearted, and our original idea was not wrong...
...If it is wrong, we, the people, have gone on to kill countless people and shed so much blood. Are we a joke?"
Fu Youde was shocked. He looked at Ding Pulang carefully and his heart was surging. To this day, he can still believe these words, which shows that this man is a hot-blooded man and a sincere gentleman!
Fu Youde's view is not wrong, and can even be said to be very insightful. After all, in history, Ding Pulang had his head cut off during the Battle of Poyang Lake, but he still stood tall and looked like a warrior.
It is just a legend that Xing Tianwu died. It is true that Ding Pulang continued to fight after his head was decapitated, which shocked the world.
If there is not a fire in the chest, how can one be brave enough to fight without fear of death?
Fu Youde lowered his head, thought for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "General Ding, I heard that the Zhu Jiajun treated the people with equality. Everyone has land, every household has property, corvee is light and taxes are light, and the laws are clear... Although it is not a Buddhist country.
Although he is still alive, he is rare in the world, and he is truly a saintly king and wise master!"
Ding Pulang stared at him and said hoarsely: "So you decided to join Zhu Yuanzhang?"
"Um!"
Fu Youde nodded vigorously, "To be honest, I have met Mr. Wang Guangyang. In just a few words, he let me know the reason for the failure of the Northern Expedition. We still relied on our own strength and did not win the hearts of the people. I think
One day, I will fight back to Guanzhong, collect the corpses of my fellow villagers, bury them, and tell them that the world has become different... I, I can only rely on Zhu Jiajun, not Liu Taibao!"
Ding Pulang stared at Fu Youde. The two men looked at each other for a long time. Something surged in their chests. The two of them were very sure that they were the same people. They were upright and would rather die than regret!
Ding Pulang smiled and said, "General Fu, today is a great day for you. It's better to go to the bridal chamber. A moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I have to go back and remove the troops outside so as not to disturb your mood."
Fu Youde suddenly realized that Ding Pulang had prepared something for him.
Fu Youde didn't say anything, but stood up and clapped his hands. Suddenly there was a sound of swords and weapons outside, and eighty swordsmen and axemen who had been prepared appeared in an instant, with murderous intent!
Ding Pulang was also frightened for a while. He wanted to capture Fu Youde, but he didn't know that this guy was also a ruthless person!
"Okay! Very good! General Fu, my surname is Ding. Are you willing to join me?"
Fu Youde smiled lightly, "Of course I am willing to climb high, but I know that Zhu Jiajun doesn't like this very much."
"Why? If we have the same mind, why can't we sworn brothers with different surnames? What kind of rule is this?"
Fu Youde said: "I still can't explain clearly. I can only ask Mr. Lu to tell you."
At this time, the scholar who led Ding Pulang came over, saluted, and said with a smile: "The so-called congeniality means that one cannot help but be motivated by one's own will. Zhu Jiajun believes that everyone is the same, and naturally does not want to form cliques and compete for power with each other.
If General Ding insists on doing this, I will not refuse, after all, we are not members of the Zhu Jiajun yet."
Ding Pulang pondered for a while and sighed: "I remember, when we surrender, I want to see if this Zhu Jiajun is not worthy of his name!"
Fu Youde said: "What if Zhu Jiajun is really different?"
Ding Pulang took a deep breath to expel the stagnation in his chest, and said loudly: "Then I will give this life to Zhu Yuanzhang!"
…
The two generals were determined to join Zhu Yuanzhang, and things became easier to handle immediately. Li Pusheng and Wang Guangyang also got together and actively contacted and negotiated.
Fu Youde and Ding Pulang are not the same person, especially Ding Pulang. As a figure in the Peng Party, he is related to many veterans of Tianwan and has many old subordinates. What should be done to ensure maximum benefits and minimum damage?
...It really cannot be solved with just one sentence.
Zhang Ximeng also took control of the overall situation and even wrote a letter himself to introduce Zhu Jiajun's policies to the two people.
Everything is advancing rapidly, and the day when things are ripe and ready is not far away.
At this time, news suddenly came from Hanyang that Xu Shouhui planned to move the capital to Jiangzhou.
There are even rumors that Xu Shouhui plans to form an alliance with Zhu Yuanzhang, respond to Zhu's army's proposal for the Northern Expedition, and join forces to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty!
What to do?
Should he wait for Xu Shouhui to come over, or should he immediately raise his troops and surrender, catching Tianwan off guard?
Ding Pulang and Fu Youde sent the news to Zhang Ximeng.
"Xu Shouhui advocated moving the capital, but he actually planned to escape from Chen Youliang's control. After all, Chen Youliang is from Mianyang and is quite powerful in Hanyang and other places. Only by escaping from Hanyang can he make his own decisions." Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "What did he say about the alliance?
, the Northern Expedition are all excuses, don’t worry about them!”
Wang Guangyang also agreed with Zhang Ximeng's judgment, "Xiang Zhang, according to this statement, Xu Shouhui made a good move?"
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said: "The flag is a good flag, but I'm afraid he may not be able to get out!"
Wang Guangyang was subconsciously surprised. Could it be that Chen Youliang wanted to bite the master a second time?
…
Xu Shouhui was a cloth vendor, but in the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty, identity was the least important. As long as you were talented and lucky, even if you were a private salt dealer or a beggar monk, you would have a chance.
However, Xu Shouhui did not become emperor based on his ability, he relied on his appearance!
Since the death of his beloved disciple Zhou Ziwang, Monk Peng has realized that rebellion is a high-risk profession and is unwilling to let his close followers do it.
Moreover, if you want to command the world, you must have the appearance of a king. Looking at his disciples who hate each other so much, Monk Peng wants to cry without tears.
The result was that Xu Shouhui, who seemed to be doing well, was elected to the throne.
Of course, this does not mean that Xu Shouhui is really not good.
And even a pig, after so many years of training between life and death, has become quite capable.
It can be seen from the removal of Ni Wenjun that Xu Shouhui is not easy.
It's just a pity that he met Chen Youliang. This guy was domineering and had Ni Wenjun's strength and means, but he also had ambitions that Ni Wenjun didn't have.
This is someone Xu Shouhui cannot defeat no matter what.
And with Zhu Yuanzhang proclaiming himself the King of Wu and overpowering Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, Chen Youding and others, the pattern of the southern region has become obvious. It is a contest between Zhu Yuanzhang and Tian Wan, or to be more precise, it is a fight between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youding.
.
Many people have come forward and demanded that Chen Youliang be crowned king.
And he was still the king of Chu!
Hu, Guang, and Jiangxi are both the hometowns of the Chu Kingdom. The intention of being granted the title of King of Chu is very clear.
Even the scholar-bureaucrats gathered in Hanyang came forward and jointly requested that Chen Youliang be given special gifts. It was like going to the palace with swords and shoes, but he was not in the imperial court, and his praise and worship were unknown. No one was left behind.
It would be best to let him take charge of the Chinese and foreign military affairs, add nine tins and fake yellow axes, like the story of Wang Mang and Cao Cao...
In the original history, scholars rarely paid attention to Chen Youliang. His popularity among scholars was far less than that of Zhang Shicheng.
But with the launch of Zhu Jiajun's full set of propositions, they and the traditional scholars have become on the same level. There is absolutely no room for recovery, and the two sides can only live and die.
In this situation, no matter how bad Chen Youliang is, there are still people who support him.
The situation became increasingly serious for Xu Shouhui. Except for a few veterans of the Peng Party, he had almost lost all support. With no other choice, Xu Shouhui could only make dangerous moves.
He decided to move the capital from Hanyang to Jiangzhou and directly face Zhu Jiajun!
Chen Youliang was also shocked, but he quickly calmed down. He first sent someone to dissuade him, but Xu Shouhui didn't listen. Instead, he mobilized his men to look for ships and go down the river.
Faced with this situation, Chen Youliang said nothing and allowed Xu Shouhui to land in Jiangzhou.
But just when Xu Shouhui set foot on land, ambushes appeared everywhere, and the leader was none other than Chen Youliang's confidant Zhang Bixian, nicknamed "Po Zhang". In terms of force, this man was not inferior to Zhang Dingbian.
Po Zhang urged his war horse and rushed directly in front of Xu Shouhui.
Xu Shouhui panicked, "How dare a common man kill the king?"
Zhang Bixian laughed loudly, "You are just an emperor. My sworn brother is in charge of this country. You are about to die!"
Saying that, Zhang Bi first raised the head of a hammer, and with the force of the impact, he hit it with one hammer, hitting Xu Shouhui right in the face. His poor appearance was smashed to pieces, blood spattered, and he was killed immediately!
Emperor Tianwan turned out to be the most shameless emperor.
Zhang Bixian was covered in blood and laughed wildly. He then led his men to kill Xu Shouhui's last cronies, and then led the generals to meet Chen Youliang and persuade him to take the throne.
Chen Youliang refused according to the rules, and then he still half-heartedly accepted the throne and inherited the throne in Jiangzhou... The people below suggested that he should be granted the title of King of Chu. It seems that the country was named Da Chu.
But Chen Youliang had another insight, "Zhu Chongba shouted about expelling the barbarians and restoring China, but so far he only dares to call him the King of Wu! If we want to restore the Han Dynasty, we will name the country Han and call him the King of Han. If we seize the opportunity, we will definitely
If we can destroy Zhu Chongba, we will achieve a great victory."
Chen Youliang made the final decision, but his subordinates flattered him again, saying that Chen Youliang was far-sighted and majestic, eighty thousand times better than Zhu Zhong.
Just when they were rejoicing and naming their heroes, Ding Pulang and Fu Youde, who were stationed at Xiaogushan, angrily declared an uprising and raised their troops to join Zhu Yuanzhang.
Chen Youliang, who had just ascended the throne, was slapped hard. How could he bear this?
