Chapter 1593 Yang Gu’s three strategies and Guo Jing’s entry into the capital
"Then based on the Prime Minister's plan, what should I do?"
Zhao Guiqian is now confused. Fortunately, he doesn't use his brain much, so it doesn't show his incompetence.
"I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower!"
Yang Gu didn't wait to ask, and said directly:
"The best strategy is to 'strengthen the walls and clear the fields'..."
Previously, Su Mingzhe had people distribute government property and supplies to the people in the Jiangnan area, which caused Zhao Guiqian's death and led to an army of 500,000 men wreaking havoc in Jiangnan, thus losing the support of the people in the two Zhejiang provinces.
Now, Yang Gu wants to treat him in his own way.
After Zhao Guiqian heard this idea, although he was very excited, he felt that this approach was like burning the boat and trying to fight the other party to the death, which made him a little unsure.
So, he continued to ask:
"Prime Minister, what about the middle strategy and the worst strategy?"
Seeing that Zhao Guiqian was not determined to fight to the death, Yang Gu sighed helplessly:
"The middle strategy is that Your Majesty will immediately go to the south of the Yangtze River, gather the navy, and sail to Nanyang..."
This move is still to move south.
However, it is not moving to Guangdong or Guangxi, but moving farther away!
Different from Zhao Guiqian's mindless running, Yang Gu asked Zhao Guiqian to lead the army and run away!
It is obvious that Yang Gu deeply understands the truth that only with an army can he control the power of his life and death.
This made Zhao Guiqian very excited.
Yang Gu continued to preach:
"As for the next step, the Holy Emperor will remove the emperor's title, and then send someone to tie up the ministers and Wang Ye... and send them to Emperor Ming's tent to pray for Emperor Ming's forgiveness..."
…
"Zhao Guiqian ran away? Where did he go?"
Su Mingzhe, with an army of 500,000, had just arrived in Jingzhou when he was shocked by the news sent by Lu Youjiao.
"Missing!"
Lu Youjiao looked ashamed.
Su Mingzhe asked him to lead the Beggar Gang, set up an intelligence system in Jiangnan District, and collect information from all sources for Su Mingzhe.
As a result, Zhao Guiqian quietly disappeared with an army of 500,000 people, but there was no news about him.
This makes him seem too incompetent.
"If you disappear, just disappear. The most important job of the Beggar Clan disciples now is to instigate rebellion against the officials of various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River!"
Although Su Mingzhe could not guess the reason for Zhao Guiqian's disappearance, he was not worried.
At worst, at night, I would fly to the place where Zhao Guiqian disappeared and conduct a spiritual search.
…
The next few days.
Because Zhao Guiqian led his army to Nanyang, all the general managers in the south, officials of various prefectures and counties, all surrendered in the face of Su Mingzhe's hundreds of thousands of troops.
End of September.
The Ming army arrived at the border of Dali.
The leader of Dali Kingdom took a surrender form and knelt down to ask for surrender.
For Master Yideng's sake, Su Mingzhe allowed the Duan clan of Dali to surrender, and named the Emperor of Dali the "Duke of Guizhou", hereditary and guarding the city of Dali.
After destroying Dali.
Su Mingzhe went north to return to the capital.
End of November.
Su Mingzhe returned to Dadu.
Compared with Su Mingzhe who swept south of the Yangtze River and unified the entire Southern Song Dynasty, the army led by Yang Guo also achieved brilliant results.
Taking advantage of the capture of Meng Ge and the loss of 500,000 troops on the grassland, Yang Guo led the army to march westward, not only regaining Guanzhong, Jinzhong, and the west of Ganlong, but also forced Uzang, who was ruled by Kuoduan, to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
Today's Ming Dynasty is comparable to the great Han Dynasty in terms of territory.
There will be a meeting on the first day of December.
Su Mingzhe issued three orders.
The first order was given to the Ministry of Works, instructing the Ministry of Works to plan the survey as soon as possible and divide the territory of the new province.
The second order was given to the Ministry of Rites, asking the Ministry of Rites to prepare to hold the first imperial examination after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The third order was given to the Ministry of War, requiring the Ministry of War to reward according to their merits and to allow the troops guarding various places to return to their bases as soon as possible so as not to delay next year's farming.
After the beginning of spring, it was the first year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty designated by Su Mingzhe.
??????????.??????
This is also the last bit of respect for Song Ting.
This year is still the reign of the Song Dynasty, and next year will be Su Mingzhe’s ‘First Year of Hongwu’!
…
After the New Year.
On this day, just after the imperial meeting, Su Mingzhe learned that Guo Jing and his wife had arrived, and quickly sent someone to invite them to the imperial study.
"Master, Master, are you here?"
Su Mingzhe didn't wait for Guo Jing and Huang Rong to salute him. He quickly took two steps, first cupped his fists and bowed to the two of them.
The guards, eunuchs, and maids who didn't know Guo Jing and his wife were all dumbfounded.
Who are this couple, who actually asked the Emperor of Heaven to salute and greet them?
When Guo Jing and Huang Rong saw that their eldest disciple was already the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and still respected them and his wife, their faces turned red and there was a bit of joy in their eyes.
After the ceremony.
Su Mingzhe invited Guo Jing and Huang Rong to sit down in the inner hall.
After taking a sip of tea, Guo Jing revealed the reason for his visit.
This time Su Mingzhe ordered the Ministry of War to reward him based on his merits.
Guo Jing once led an army to sweep across the border and conquered such a huge territory. He should at least be a prince.
Su Mingzhe personally decided on the title "Gong of Chu".
As a result, after the eunuch who announced the order arrived at Peach Blossom Island, Guo Jing refused to accept the order.
When Su Mingzhe learned that Guo Jing was here for the title of knight, he quietly relaxed a little.
At first, he thought that the master and his wife were here because of Guo Fu.
I don’t know if Guo Fu will speak ill of herself in front of her parents when they meet later.
After all, in the past six months, he had led Guo Fu on various expeditions and bullied her a lot.
After being bullied by herself, Guo Fu had nowhere to complain and could only quietly wipe her tears until dawn.
The three of them chatted for a while.
Su Mingzhe did not express his position on Guo Jing's refusal to be knighted, but smiled and said:
"Master, Junior Sister, you haven't met Junior Sister yet, right?"
"Is Fu'er in Dadu?"
Guo Jing looked surprised. He had not seen his eldest daughter for more than a year. He thought that his daughter was traveling in the world, but he never thought that his daughter's experience would be so rough and uneasy.
Huang Rong, on the other hand, looked at Su Mingzhe with a complicated expression. Guo Fu asked the disciples of the Beggar Clan to send a letter to Taohua Island, telling her story of following Su Mingzhe.
Therefore, Huang Rong knew that Guo Fu was bullied by Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingzhe noticed the details of the two people's expressions and guessed the reason. He immediately did not dare to say anything more and quickly ordered the eunuch beside him:
"Old Dong, go ask Concubine Li to come over!"
"Slave, go and invite me now!"
Dong Chengfeng, the eunuch in charge of the last emperor of the Jin Kingdom, accompanied Wanyanping to hide his whereabouts after the fall of the Jin Kingdom, and was hunted down in hiding.
Later, when Su Mingzhe became King of Lu, Wan Yanping invited Dong Chengfeng out to serve as the eunuch in charge of King Lu's palace.
Guo Jing noticed that Su Mingzhe said that he was ‘inviting Concubine Li’, so this ‘Concubine Li’… couldn’t be his daughter?
When he turned back to look at his wife, he saw that his wife Huang Rong was concentrating with her eyes closed.
…
Not long after.
Guo Fu walked into the royal study carefully with lotus steps. When she saw Guo Jing and Huang Rong, she immediately saluted Su Mingzhe:
"Concubine Li, please give your regards to Your Majesty!"
"Junior sister, master, and junior wife are all here!"
Su Mingzhe saw that Guo Fu ignored her parents and bowed to herself first. He guessed that this girl had resentment in her heart and deliberately applied eye drops to herself in front of her parents.
Su Mingzhe thought so and really wronged Guo Fu.
After all, how could Guo Fu be so thoughtful!
She bowed to Su Mingzhe first, completely 'educated' by the rules of the palace.
Living in the palace, everyone respects the emperor, even relatives and elders of the disciples must be ranked after the emperor.
What's more, Guo Fu has been bullied by Su Mingzhe for half a year. Even for the sake of her own happy life in the future, she doesn't dare to trouble a man.
