After the meeting, the high-level officials of the Ming Cult entered the dining hall to have a meal together.
At this time, the subordinates of the Guards who had taken over the work came to report: "Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da, former disciples of Hongshui Banner, want to see you."
Zhang Wuji was overjoyed when he heard that this was his friend in times of need, so he went out to welcome him in person.
Soon, Zhang Wuji walked in with one person on each hand and five people behind him.
He first ordered several people to find their seats and sit down, and then introduced their names to Li Jiang and others.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He, Deng Yu, Hua Yun, Wu Liang, Wu Zhen.
Every time someone is introduced, that person stands up and bows.
As friends of the leader, Li Jiang and others would not neglect him and returned the favor one after another.
Li Jiang listened to Zhang Wuji and a few people talking about their parting feelings, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was so elegant, but his heart felt different.
Zhu Yuanzhang was an extremely excellent military commander. The Mingjiao would definitely be more powerful with him, but he still had the appearance of an emperor.
Historically, it is said that he was unparalleled in attaining the throne. Whether it was because circumstances forced him to become emperor or because he had long-standing ambitions, it is said that he was a man unwilling to be inferior to others.
The subsequent ending also illustrates the problem. Wasn't Zhang Wuji forced to leave by him?
What if we kill him now? Will Zhang Wuji do better than him when he becomes emperor?
Although Zhu Yuanzhang caused several major prisons after he became emperor, and many of the policies he promulgated were fallacious, he was at least a good emperor. He was diligent and honest in government, and fought against corrupt officials.
Come on, you can really say that you have the people in mind.
If you don't kill him and help Zhang Wuji, will you be able to suppress him?
Li Jiang didn't have this self-confidence, how easy it would be to become the founding emperor of the country. Well, no matter what happens in the future, there is one thing he can do now, cut off his arms first.
So, Li Jiang tilted his head and whispered a few words to Yin Tianzheng beside him.
Yin Tianzheng was stunned, glanced at Li Jiang without knowing what he meant, and nodded after a moment.
When Zhang Wuji's conversation came to an end, Yin Tianzheng interjected: "Wuji, these brothers of yours are very good. They have been fighting with Yuan Bing for a long time, and they must know Yuan Bing better. Now I am missing someone.
Hua, I think this Xu Da is good and can be transferred to our Fifth Army Commander's Office to serve."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Wuji clapped his hands and applauded.
However, the reaction of Zhu Yuanzhang and others was very strange. Instead of cheering and bowing down, they looked at each other in confusion.
After a period of silence, Li Jiang's face darkened and he said, "Why, Brother Xu doesn't want to come? Or does Brother Zhu not want to let go?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression remained unchanged, and he cupped his fists at Li Jiang and said, "Don't get me wrong, Li Junji. Brother Xu and I usually cooperate well, but we are just a little reluctant to part with him."
Zhang Wuji realized later and felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He changed his mind and said, "Yes, Brother Li. Brother Zhu and Brother Xu have a deep love for each other. It's understandable that they can't part with each other. Otherwise, I'll see..."
"Wuji, could it be that he is not a member of my Ming Cult and I can't transfer him?" Yin Tianzheng interrupted Zhang Wuji's plea.
Yin Tianzheng also saw the extraordinary qualities of several people through Li Jiang's hints. He was old and mature, and he immediately guessed from the reactions of several people that Li Jiang meant to break up this strong small group.
Zhang Wuji said sarcastically: "It's possible, it means..."
His voice softened, and the dining hall fell into silence again.
Xu Da was not yet the commander-in-chief of a million-strong army in the future, so he was naturally in a bad mood. Under the extreme pressure, cold sweat broke out on his head, and he couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to let Xu Da go, but he was just the leader of a small rebel army, and his arms could never twist his thighs. If he still wanted support in the future, he would definitely not be able to offend the higher-ups of the Mingjiao.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he decisively nodded to Xu Da.
Only then did Xu Da respectfully accept the appointment.
Then everyone was happy. Zhu Yuanzhang and the others had dinner with the leader and senior officials, enjoying themselves happily.
Five days later, after discussions with various parties, the Military Aircraft Department and the leader decided on the reorganization strategy.
The teaching leader Zhang Wuji led Yang Xiao, Li Jiang and Wei Yixiao from the Military Aircraft Department to take charge of the general altar and became the commander-in-chief of the whole teaching.
Nowadays, the focus of the Mingjiao uprising is on the eastern theater, so Yin Tianzheng, the military commander, was sent to personally take charge of the eastern theater and led the right army, the original Jumu Banner and some of the original Tianying sect members, to start an uprising in the south of the Yangtze River.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He, Deng Yu, Hua Yun, Wu Liang, Wu Zhen and Sun Deya raised troops in Haozhou, Huaibei, which belonged to the eastern theater.
Xu Shouhui, Zou Puwang, Ming Wu and others started an uprising in the Gan, Rao, Yuan and Xin states of Jiangxi, belonging to the eastern theater.
Sesame Li, Zhao Junyong and others started an uprising in the Fengpei area of Xusu, which belongs to the eastern war zone.
In other respects, the former military commander of the Tang Yangzhang northern theater of the former Hong Kong Banner led Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Du Zundao, Luo Wensu, Sheng Wenyu, Wang Xianzhong, Han Jiaoer and others to start an uprising in the Yingchuan area of Henan.
Yan Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, was in charge of the central theater and led Bu Sanwang, Meng Haima and others to start an uprising in the Xiangchu, Jingxiang and Xiang area.
Wu Jincao, the commander-in-chief of the Left Army, Yuan Ruijin Banner, took charge of the western theater, and together with the followers of the Western Regions, intercepted the Mongolian reinforcements heading to the Central Plains from the Western Regions.
Yuan Liehuoqi Xinran, the commander-in-chief of the rear army, was in charge of the southern theater and was waiting for the opportunity to start an uprising in Fujian and Guangxi.
The Guards are under the command of the General Forum. Wherever they are in urgent need, they will send reinforcements to them.
After another five days, all the rebels in each theater returned to the camp.
Li Jiang transferred a dozen clerks who had been with him the longest and sent them as incense masters of various rebel armies. He clarified the dual-master official system of incense masters and commanders. They were usually only responsible for academic affairs, personnel and supplies, and could command the army when necessary.
.
According to Li Jiang's wishes, Leng Qian also sent an inspector to serve as the incense owner's deputy, performing the functions of declaring merit and punishing.
The two of them went to various rebels in person, and held meetings with them every where they went to explain the reasons for doing so. In order to strengthen everyone's faith, to save everyone from trivial matters, and focus on fighting, etc., blah blah blah.
He himself was frothing at what he said on the stage, but the rebels below had different moods and thought he had just sent a supervisor.
Two more days passed, and after all the work was sorted out, the Mingjiao held a swearing-in and strengthening meeting.
Zhang Wuji came to the forum and spoke, "It is difficult to shake the nearly century-old foundation of the Yuan Dynasty with the power of this religion alone. We must contact the heroes of the world and work together to achieve great success. Today, all the brothers are scattered in all directions. We don't know when we will meet again in the future."
All brothers must have loyalty as their top priority and put important things first. They must never fight for power or kill each other. If there are such unjust reasons, the general altar will never be lenient."
Everyone agreed in unison: "I will never dare to violate the orders of the leader!"
The sound shook the valley and echoed.
Everyone donated blood as an alliance, burned incense as an oath, and fought to the death to live up to the righteousness.
After the meeting, Zhang Wuji led the remaining personnel to say goodbye to everyone on the road.
When bidding farewell, Zhang Wuji looked at the troops leaving the valley one after another, and wondered how many people would be left in Butterfly Valley today after the success. The blood of such a good man will surely be spread all over the Central Plains in the next ten or twenty years.
He couldn't help but tears filled his eyes, and he sang with choked sobs: "Burn my broken body with a blazing holy fire. What's the joy of life, and how painful is death?"
As he started, those who had not yet left and those who had walked out of the valley all shouted in unison: "Burn my broken body with the blazing holy fire. How can life be joyful? How can death be painful? To eliminate evil for good, there is only light. Joy and sorrow are all there.
Return to the dust. Have pity on my people, for they are full of sorrows! Have pity on my people, for they are full of sorrows!"
The song was flying inside and outside the Butterfly Valley. The heroes were full of enthusiasm and embarked on the journey with their heads held high. No one looked back.
