Chapter 118 Zhang Shicheng
Suzhou, an ordinary mansion.
This mansion is not luxurious at all, it is simple and simple, but it is just a little more gorgeous and slightly spacious than the mansion of a rich man.
In the mansion, the furniture is simple and simple.
Zhang Shicheng's clothes were also extremely simple, not too gorgeous, and seemed to be just a businessman.
Zhang Shicheng is extremely simple in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
In treating the people, they work diligently and love the people, light taxes and reduce taxes, and build water conservancy, and pay much less taxes to merchants, and the people in their jurisdiction love them very much.
Even if he became the King of Wu, he would rule the country and love the people diligently, but he would not change his character of diligently, loving the people diligently, and hard and simple.
"Brother, the Yuan army is bullying too much!"
Zhang Shiyi said indignantly.
"The Yuan army is arrogant. King Ruyang is so capable. It's just over a year that he defeated the millions of Red Turban Army. All the heroes in the world are afraid!"
Zhang Shicheng smiled bitterly and said, "If it were the Yuan army, we might not be able to withstand it!"
Zhang Shiyi said: "Brother, back then, Tuotuo led an army of 400,000 to siege Gaoyou. We wanted no one and few weapons. In the end, we defeated the Yuan army and laid the supreme foundation."
"But now, we have sufficient food and grass, and the army is full of combat effectiveness. We are afraid of the Yuan army. In the past, we were not afraid of Tuotuo, and now we are not afraid of King Ruyang!"
Zhang Shicheng said: "In the past, we were all born in poverty, and we were poor and we had no money, but we had to die. In order to make a future, we had to fight bloody battles and fight continuously. But now, we should seize the world and establish the world's hegemony, so we naturally have to cherish our family business and life!"
The Battle of Gaoyou is Zhang Shicheng's turning point in his life.
During the Battle of Gaoyou, Zhang Shicheng was just a pauper. At that time, he called King Zhou and died just to have fun.
At that time, the army of 400,000 yuan besieged Gaoyou.
Zhang Shicheng wanted to surrender several times, but Tutuo refused to accept it. He opened his mouth to massacre the city and kept slaughtering the city, so he could only fight to the end. During the war, it was very hard to fight, and Gaoyou City was about to fall several times.
Almost in despair,
As a result, the Yuan Dynasty made a fuss, and the generals changed in the last battle.
At that time, Tuotuo besieged Gaoyou City and failed to defeat it for a long time. Emperor Shun of Yuan believed that Tuotuo wanted to raise the thief and respect himself; some ministers also impeached Tuotuo and wanted to pick peaches.
So, a general came to replace Tutuo and wanted to pick peaches.
As a result, Zhang Shicheng saw the opportunity and took the initiative.
The Yuan army outside the city had been besieged for three months, and had long been in short supply, morale declined, and conflicts between the various troops continued.
After Zhang Shicheng attacked, the Yuan army collapsed and Gaoyou won a great victory.
If you fail to pick peaches, you will collapse in the whole world.
Because of this great victory, everyone in the world knew about him Zhang Shicheng.
Countless heroes and scholars all defected to his command and occupied a corner of Jiangnan and a side of the situation.
This battle was a lucky victory.
But after this battle, Zhang Shicheng also became timid.
Before this battle, Zhang Shicheng resisted the Yuan Dynasty to the end and fought bloody battles to the end. The Yuan Dynasty refused several times of Zhao'an. However, after this battle, the territory expanded and the troops expanded, but he quickly accepted Zhao'an of the Yuan Dynasty and became the Grand Marshal of the Yuan Dynasty.
After accepting the imperial edict, Zhang Shicheng opened the canal and no longer cut it off. He was transported to the northern Yuan Dynasty.
The Yuan Dynasty continued to live without losing blood. Instead, it used the money and food to train the army to wipe out the Red Turban Army.
The Northern Red Turban Army was able to be destroyed, and Zhang Shicheng had a medal.
Because of mutual compromise, the Yuan Dynasty also gave up attacking Zhang Shicheng and entered a tacit understanding between them.
As the Northern Red Turban Army was wiped out, the tacit understanding was constantly interrupted.
"Brother, the Yuan Dynasty bullies too much, what should we do?" Zhang Shiyi asked.
Zhang Shicheng said: "We should give the Yuan Dynasty food, not only to give, but also to give more. As long as the Yuan army will not take the lead in attacking us, it can provoke the Yuan Dynasty army to attack Haozhou, Chuzhou, Hezhou and other places. Once Zhu Yuanzhang's main force is restrained in the north, we can send a navy to directly cut off the Yangtze River and isolate it north of the Yangtze River. Gather troops, attack Yangzhou, Yingtian Prefecture, and seize the land of Jinling!"
"Zhu Yuanzhang is so disgusting!"
Zhang Shiyi said.
"If Zhu Yuanzhang is not dead, we have no room for development! From Xuzhou in the north to Shaoxing in the south, we are just a long snake. If it is cut off in the middle, it will be done!"
Zhang Shicheng said: "For the sake of the present, we can only use the Yuan army to eliminate Zhu Yuanzhang's main force and seize Yingtian Prefecture!"
………
Wuhan City.
Chen Youliang sat upright on the throne, so domineeringly.
Compared to the low-key Zhu Yuanzhang and the insidious Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang was domineering in character and had a chivalrous spirit. At this moment, an envoy from the Yuan Dynasty appeared.
"Meet, General Chen!"
The envoy of the Yuan Dynasty said respectfully, "Not long ago, King Ruyang defeated the Red Turban Army, and all millions of Red Turban Army were eliminated. Bianliang, the capital of the Red Turban Army, was also conquered by the prince! Liu Yongfu wanted to open the Song Dynasty again, but the Song Dynasty was about to end!"
"In the near future, the prince will attack Shandong Red Turban Army. Once Shandong is captured, the prince will inevitably go south! As the saying goes, defending the river must defend Huai. If you want to conquer Jiangnan, you must conquer Jingxiang!"
"The prince is rectifying his troops and is about to attack Wuhan... the general is in danger!"
Chen Youliang said lightly: "So what?"
The envoy of the Yuan Dynasty said, "There have been many years of war, and the lives of the people are devastated, and the bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing thousands of miles away! If you are a general, you can accept the imperial edict of our Yuan Dynasty, you can enthrone the general as King of Han and live in Jingxiang forever!"
“Good deal!”
Chen Youliang laughed, "It's a good deal, but unfortunately I just want to say no! Zhao'an is impossible. I am a man, how could I surrender to the barbarians!"
The envoy of the Yuan Dynasty was not discouraged at all, but said: "Fang Guozhen raised an army to cause chaos, but later accepted Zhao'an; Zhang Shicheng also raised an army to cause chaos, but later accepted Zhao'an. Even Zhu Yuanzhang of Yingtian planned to accept Zhao'an. All the heroes in the world were Zhao'an, but the general was still obsessed with it!"
"The Yuan army descended to Jingxiang, and the general would die without a place to bury him!"
The Yuan Dynasty government ordered that all Han people be arrested and killed, and that "all Mongolians and Semu were exiled to the capital because of their exile."
Later, when he saw that the Han landlords were also hostile to the Red Turban Army, he declared the exemption from the boundaries between the southern and northern people. Anyone who raised an army to suppress the Red Turban Army was given a reward of ten thousand households, thousands and hundreds of households. The Yuan Dynasty government also gave Fang Guozhen, Zhang Shicheng's dragon robbery, imperial wine, and official titles, and bought them to serve the Mongolian rulers.
Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng accepted the official title of the Yuan Dynasty and turned to the Red Turban Army.
All heroes from all over the world surrendered or accepted the imperial edict. The only one who resisted was Chen Youliang.
Chen Youliang said, "Come here, I'll take it out and chop it!"
Suddenly, the knife and axe driver came out and directly killed the messenger.
After a moment, the head is delivered.
"The coalition forces are in conflict, and the envoys will not be killed!" Zhang Dingbian said.
"Behead the envoy, use it to make up your mind!" Chen Youliang said, "I handed my head to King Ruyang, and I will never accept the imperial edict!"
