Chapter 46 The Plan (Part 2)

Everyone had been preparing to stop and thought it was time to take action, so they all rushed over when they heard that they were going to have a meeting. At this time, the room was full of generals. Because Zhang Shun had made great reforms to the military, the previous form of the commander sitting with the generals standing has been gradually eliminated, and replaced by the tradition of our army. Everyone sat in the meeting. They wanted to say anything, just raise their hands and stand up and speak. It was obvious that this method was very popular with everyone. At least to everyone's eyes, this method seemed very friendly to the people. Everyone seemed to be on the same level, and they all easily accepted this form.

Seeing that everyone had sat down, Qian Bin smiled and said, "Everyone has arrived, it's great. We'll have a meeting right now. I'm calling you here today for one thing, that is, what do you think of our prince's words."

These people originally thought Qian Bin wanted to tell him about the specific arrangements or tactical tasks for attacking Japan next time, but who knew that he was talking about this, but looking at his excited face, everyone knew that this guy was not joking. I'm afraid that these words were what he was most interested in at this time, and the others were all things that didn't matter at all.

Fortunately, everyone here was similar to his thoughts at this time, so after hearing this, they all unconsciously straightened their bodies, and their eyes showed an excited look. After a glance at each other, someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty said it well. We all hoped that he could go further. Now he finally spoke to be the prince. This means we have to take the first step. This is a great good thing." Xia Gui said, and this time he was also named by Zhang Shun and arranged in the army to conquer Japan. There are really many people like him. This time this army is a gathering of essences. A large group of surrendered soldiers and rebel generals gathered here, but they all have another idea, that is, they must take this opportunity to become famous and strive for meritorious deeds, so they were eager for this battle and wanted to start a battle soon.

When Xia Gui started speaking, the others jumped up to express their opinions. They were all excited and wanted to start sending troops to attack Japan now. They were still a little confused before, but now Zhang Shun has already announced openly that he is going to be king, so that the day will be closer and closer. By that time, he will bear such great contributions and will definitely be valued. At that time, no one will care about the wrong paths he has taken.

But just as they all seemed indignant, Qian Bin spoke again, "Don't be so happy, things are far from it. Our prince clearly stated that he would choose to ascend the throne after regaining the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but this is a bit too slow. I think he should be king after we defeat Japan, and after regaining the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, we can make the next plan. What do you think?"

"Yes! You're right! We must win this battle, and this time we must give the prince a big gift." The enthusiasm of a group of people was aroused again, staring at each other with their teeth gritted, all of them looking ready to rub their hands.

However, there was an inappropriate voice in the corner, "But our prince said that he was in charge of Taizu's constitution, and Song Taizu said it very clearly. Those who recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun were kings, but he did not say that those who recovered the Japanese were kings. What's more, our battle was to destroy the Japanese army, but not to recover the entire Japanese territory. At that time, these two things cannot be unified. So even if the prince uses this to be king, how can he block the mouths of Youyou?"

Everyone was in high spirits when they suddenly heard the voice and turned their heads to look. They saw that a young man was talking. Although he was sitting in the corner, he still looked very energetic. Some people didn't know him but knew that he was a surrendered general. But there was still someone here who knew him. So before he finished speaking, Da Dali stood up and scolded, "Zhang Gui, what occasion is this? Where is there a place for you to speak?" Da Dali was sent to the south after surrendering. At first, he thought that Zhang Shun would definitely put him on the shelf, or simply gave him a silent and silent disappearance, but he didn't expect that Zhang Shun actually asked him to lead his troops, and he was not fighting against the Yuan people. This surprised him and was very moved. So this time he sent troops to Japan, he had always been very active. Anyway, he had no psychological barriers to killing those Japanese.

At this time, Xia Gui, who was sitting next to Qian Bin, immediately introduced, "This is Zhang Hongfan's eldest son Zhang Gui."

Qian Bin said oh, he had really heard of this person's name. Before he came over, Zhang Shun had handed him a document with the names of seven people written on it. Zhang Shun specifically mentioned that these people are people who are worthy of attention. If they sincerely work for themselves, then use them well. Once these people have other ideas in their hearts, they should be executed directly without showing mercy. Among them is this young man named Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui is Zhang Hongfan's eldest son. He grew up with him in the military camp since he was a child. His familiarity with military affairs was far greater than his peers. The facts also proved that this kid was a very talented guy. In another history, Zhang Hongfan died of illness less than a year after destroying the last large-scale army of the Southern Song Dynasty on Yashan. After his death, his army was directly handed over to Zhang Gui for management. However, Zhang Gui did not show any panic or unfamiliarity. Under his command, the troops still maintained a strong fighting spirit. They also participated in several battles after that. Although not large-scale, they all maintained a victorious ending. Kublai Khan praised him and gave him several rewards in succession.

However, Zhang Gui was still worried that he would be suspicious of Kublai Khan, so he finally quit his position as commander for the sake of poor health. It was precisely because of this that he avoided the battle of attacking Japan. Kublai Khan was still very happy with his actions, so he let him rule the local area. Unexpectedly, he was also a good player in this regard, making several places prosperous in succession. At this time, the Yuan army was defeated in Japan for the second time, so Kublai Khan appointed him again, transferred it back to the army, and re-elected the commander of one army. From then on, he stayed in the army until he was old. After his death, like his father, he was given the posthumous title of Wuzhong by Kublai Khan, which was the origin of Wuzhong, the father and son.
