Chapter 30 Dagger appears (Part 3)

"What, butcher Zhu is coming to Jiangning," the old scholar Zheng Yu shivered and pulled off a large strand of his beard that was being combed.

This news came in a very wrong time. At the beginning of this month, with the heart of bleeding, he gathered a large group of like-minded people to fight with Zhu Butcher Zhu on the day of the completion of the observatory. As a result, the observatory, which was originally scheduled to be completed on May 15, was completed seven or eight days in advance. Zhu Butcher Zhu, who was rumored to be on stage to worship the sky, did not show up at all, and all his preparations were smashed in the empty space. He lay on the bed for three days before he could barely recover from this energy.

Immediately afterwards, the Star Map's appearance gave him another blow. He finally got up again and was about to die when Zhu Butcher used Star Map to suppress Confucianism. However, Zhu Butcher gave up the great opportunity to force Confucianism into a desperate situation, and directly let his father-in-law Lu Kun take action and return to the past and abandon the present. This made his second effort lose his goal. His old waist still hurts a lot.

Now, Zheng Yu had already made up his mind to give up, and Zhu Butcher moved to Jiangnan at this moment. Isn’t this obviously a disaster? As the saying goes, one move will decline again, and then three times will be exhausted. At present, even if you climb to a high place and try your best to open your voice to your friends, there are still a few people who have the strength to respond.

"What, Zhu, Zhu Bashiyi is coming to Jiangnan." At the same time, the same person was shocked. Zhang Shicheng, the King of Wu, was instigated by the Pu family in Quanzhou a few months ago and vowed to cut off the mat and sever the Huaiyang General Administration Office, had not slept soundly for a day. As long as he closed his eyes, he would dream that the Huai'an army had attacked the doorstep, but on his side, he wanted no soldiers and weapons, so he could only stretch his neck and slaughter.

In order to calm Zhu Chongjiu's anger, Zhang Shicheng even immediately sent a fleet to send 100,000 stones of grain to Yangzhou after learning that the Yuan Dynasty did not want to send troops south, and asked his younger brother Zhang Jiuliu to be an envoy and hostage. He took the initiative to admit his mistake to Zhu Chongjiu and asked the chief executive to forgive him this time because of his contribution to raising food and grass in the past. If both sides could reconcile, he would rather give up the title of King Wu and continue to serve Zhu Chongjiu as the main force, and give 200,000 stones of grain to Huaiyang every year.

However, what made Zhang Shicheng depressed was that Zhu Chongjiu took his food, but did not see his younger brother Zhang Jiuliu. He just sent someone to say "You should do it yourself" and ordered the latter to return with the empty ship. As a result, Zhang Shicheng has not understood what "You should do it yourself" means. He did not dare to close the border and prohibit the people of both sides from traveling back and forth with the caravans, and was afraid that he would be inattentive. Manager Zhu suddenly came to Suzhou City just like he was a surprise attack on Huai'an back then.

"Brother, I want me to tell you, you'd better go to Jiangning in person, and take advantage of Zhu Bashiyi's time to take action." Zhang Jiuliu was the only few in the entire King of Wu's mansion who could persuade Zhang Shicheng, and was quite brave. He hesitated for a moment and whispered a little, "Although I didn't see him last time, I could feel that he was very angry, but he was a bit too kind. As long as we were doing enough, even if he was unhappy in his stomach, he might not be ruthless against his fellow practitioners before the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty."

"Lord, what Duke Qi said is very good. Emperor Gaozu of Han once knelt on his knees to serve Chu, and Emperor Gaozu of Tang once appointed Li Mi as his brother. Those who could endure temporary humiliation were finally settled in the nine provinces." Yang Lian, the political party member, was trusted by Zhang Shicheng, walked forward and whispered, "If the lord does not want to make people suffer, why not imitate Emperor Gaozu of Han and Tang, and temporarily tolerate it in order to achieve the future."

"You two are sure that Zhu Bashiyi is not really going to see his star-observatory and star map, but coming for me." Although Zhang Shicheng became increasingly stubborn after becoming king, he heard his younger brother and Yang Lian's words, but he was a little hesitant, frowned, and asked in a low voice.

"This" was named Zhang Jiuliu, Duke of Qi and Yang Lian, and he didn't know how to answer. After thinking for a long time, he murmured one after another: "Brother, be careful of sailing a ten thousand-year-old ship. I heard that this time he went south, he left Wang Kerou in Yangzhou and brought Liu Ziyun and Hu Dahai with him. In addition, Xu Da, who was originally stationed in Jiangnan, and the first five armies in Huai'an had already arrived."

"Zhu Chongjiu has always disrespected gods and Buddhas. Even the temple fields in Huaiyang were confiscated and distributed to the people to farm, which caused the Buddha, Taoism, Cross, Tianfang, and Ming Cult. When he mentioned it, he gritted his teeth. How could he suddenly change his temperament and traveled to Jiangnan to watch the stars in the sky."

"Hiss,." Zhang Shicheng felt even more hesitant when he heard this. With his understanding of Zhu Chongjiu's personality, perhaps taking the lead in taking the blame for himself was indeed the best choice to solve the crisis, but the human heart is the most unreliable thing. If Zhu Chongjiu changed his temperament and turned against him and detained him, wouldn't it be the same as taking the initiative to send Wu Yue, a fertile land, to his mouth. This is a good place for more than one million stones of grain and one million jin of qian. If it is not considered a salt tax, even Gaoyou and Yangzhou were not comparable to that of that year.

But if they are forced to go, if the two families really fight, even though they have more than tens of thousands of troops under their command, they may not be able to withstand the strong attacks of the three legions of Huai'an, unless they can get the full support of the Fuzhang Pu family and the Mengyuan Jiangxi Province.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shicheng felt a sudden heat in his heart, gritted his teeth, and whispered to his subordinates: "Su Wen, under the command of the Pu family in Quanzhou, there is a Yisiba Xi soldier who is quite good at fighting. If I pay a lot of money and ask him to help him."

"Big Brother."

"Master."

"Lord thinks twice."

Everyone was shocked and quickly spoke out to dissuade them, "As the saying goes, if you are not my race, your heart will be different. At that time, the Zhao family treated the Pu family so well, but when the Yuan soldiers went south, Pu Shougeng immediately killed all those who supported Zhao Song in Quanzhou City. Now the Huai'an army is far stronger than me. If the Pu family turns against each other again, we will die without a place to bury."

"Not it." Zhang Shicheng frowned when he heard it. He looked at everyone, and his voice was a little disappointed. "Then Xu Da, didn't he just take over the old nest of the Huangshan thief a few days ago? As far as I know, the Huangshan thief was just a group of great food disciples. Yi Siba Xibing was also a great food soldier, and he would definitely be irreconcilable with Huai'an."

"But from the beginning to the end, the Pu family did not send a soldier north to rescue the thieves in Huangshan." Yang Lian, the political assistant, did not think about it and strived according to the actual situation.

"Isn't there a Jiangxi province in the middle, the road is too far away?" Zhang Shicheng was frustrated when he heard this, looked at Yang Lian, and added unhappily.

Yang Lian didn't see his face clearly and continued to argue in a low voice, "At that time, the lord had already made a secret agreement with the Pu family. If the Pu family wanted to support the Huangshan thief, they could borrow a way from the lord."

"Yes, brother, even if the Pu family didn't have time to send troops, at least they should have supported Huangshan in stealing all food and wages, but from the beginning to the end, the Pu family was silent." Zhang Jiuliu was afraid that his brother would blame Yang Lian, so he took the conversation and took the initiative to shelter the latter from the wind and rain.

"Nee,." Zhang Shicheng glanced at his younger brother and frowned again. If the thief in Huangshan was taken as a precedent, the Pu family would be unreliable. If the Huaian Army really came, the Yuan soldiers of Jiangxi Province would probably choose to watch the fire from the other side. In that case, I remember to use these 300,000 troops under my command to fight against the three armies of the Huaian Army.

"Impossible." Suddenly, he smiled and shook his head, "Zhu Bashiyi has always been cautious and cannot send all three legions. If it was just Hu Dahai and Liu Ziyun, or Xu Dahai, we might not be able to compete with him."

"No."

"Lord thinks twice."

When the civil and military officials heard this, they all spoke to dissuade them, "My Great Wu has been established for too short, and the soldiers have not been trained and cannot stand the fierce battle."

"Lord, most of our arms were purchased from Huaiyang. Although we spared no effort to imitate them in the past two years, our income was still not as good as that of Huaiyang. When we really started fighting, we would soon be unable to supply artillery and shells."

"Hangzhou is near the sea and the rivers are close to the lake. If Zhu Butcher's fleet comes in full swing, my Dawu Navy may not be able to withstand it."

"Lord, the butcher Zhu has always kept his promise. Gaoyou's promise has not yet expired. The lord just verbally got into his evil spirits the last time, but he never sent a soldier to the north. Now, as long as he is willing to endure humiliation, he has no reason to treat his lord too harsh."

"Yes, even Zhu Chongba's sects steal his art of making artillery, he didn't turn against him. How could he be more favorable than the other?"

There was no word in his words, which made Zhang Shicheng's eyes turn black and his scalp suddenly. He suddenly saw his younger brother Zhang Jiuliu whispering to Yang Lian. He suddenly "snow bright" in his heart, slammed the table hard, and stood up: "Stop! Stop, since you don't want to fight, Zhang will just go there, but when Zhang is away, who will take charge of the government?"

In an instant, the civil and military officials were so scared that they closed their mouths and did not dare to say more easily. Only Yang Lian, who participated in politics, hesitated for a moment, bowed and bowed, "Lord, I think that Qi Gong is virtuous, and can supervise the country. In this case, if Zhu butcher Zhu is not good for the lord, as long as Qi Gong does not surrender, the lord will have no worries about his life."

"Hahaha." Zhang Shicheng couldn't help but raise his head and laughed at the sky. "I said that you are talking all the words today and advised me to take the thorns and apologize. It turns out that you have already agreed to establish another talent. Well, Jiuliu, my brother will fulfill you today. The land of Wu and Yue belongs to you."

After saying that, he raised his hand to wipe his tears, took off his crown, and stuffed it into Zhang Jiuliu's arms. Mr. Qi was so scared that Zhang Jiuliu's face turned pale and his lips were black. He quickly took a few steps back and knelt down on his knees: "Brother, don't you know what I look like? I, I would rather die now than be suspicious of our brothers. Brother, you say war, fight is. As long as you give orders, I will go to the schoolyard to order troops and guard the country's gates first."

As he spoke, he lay down and kowtowed hard, "Dongdongdong, dongdongdongdong." In a few seconds, blood was knocked out from the corner of his forehead.

Seeing this, Zhang Shicheng felt very regretful. He quickly put on the crown of King Wu and hugged his younger brother's shoulders with both hands, "Jiuliu, Jiuliu, don't kowtow, I believe you, Isn't it okay for you to believe me? I just said an angry word, don't go to your heart, don't go to your heart."

"Woo woo," Zhang Jiuliu finally recovered, covered her face with both hands, and burst into tears.

When Zhang Shicheng heard this, he was ashamed and nodded. He turned his head and shouted sternly at the civil and military officials, "What are you doing when you are standing there? You are not going to raise food and grass, and are preparing to fight against Zhu thieves. Zhang Yanger has been waiting for three years, but in the end, no one dared to speak out. If he had known this, what would Zhang Yanger be uselessly? It would be better to stay under Zhu Butcher Zhu at the beginning, and at least he could be a founding hero."
