Chapter 232 The First Year of Shengwu
On July 13, Zhizheng [-]th year, Zhang Shicheng moved his capital to Rugao.

On July 13th of the [-]th year of Zhengzheng, Dazhou announced to the outside world that it would form an alliance with Dahan.

When these two pieces of news spread, the world was shocked.

After Cheng De knew about it immediately, he ordered Yang Zhongkai to contact Da Zhou Xu Yingjie, and asked Xu Yingjie why the news about Da Zhou and Dahan Alliance did not contact him.

On July 13, 21, Cheng De received a reply from Xu Yingjie in Nanjing.

Xu Yingjie said in the secret letter: Da Zhou and Da Han are just an alliance on the surface, but secretly they have other plans.Announcing the Zhou-Han Alliance to the public was nothing but Zhang Shicheng's way of stabilizing the hearts of the envoys of the Han Dynasty in order to seek some interests of the great Han.As for secretly, Zhang Shicheng has made it clear that in the future, he will never participate in the various actions of the big man against Ming.

As for not contacting Jue Shengwei in time to pass the news to him, it was because he couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

At the same time, Xu Yingjie said that Zhang Shicheng had secretly sent an envoy to contact him. The intention of this move was that Zhang Shicheng wanted to show that Da Zhou had no intention of dealing with Da Ming.

After repeatedly reading the secret letter sent by Xu Yingjie, Cheng De finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as to whether the alliance between Dazhou Zhang Shicheng and Dahan Chen Youliang is fake or real, we still need to inquire about the news many times and confirm it in many ways.

Only interests between countries are eternal.

Although Xu Yingjie mentioned that Zhang Shicheng would send someone to explain to him secretly to prove that the Zhou-Han alliance is fake, but who knows if the fake Zhou-Han alliance will become true someday?
Regarding this point, Cheng De would not gamble.

If the news of Da Zhou and Da Han's flirting in private was found out by the Jueshengwei, then Cheng De wondered if he should deal with Zhang Shicheng before Chen Youliang?
Although Chen Youliang is scary, it doesn't mean that Cheng De is afraid of Chen Youliang.

Whether to fight Chen Youliang first or Zhang Shicheng first, it is the same for Cheng De, the purpose is to unify the south.

It's just that they are fighting Zhang Shicheng or Chen Youliang. The difference lies in the timing of the unification of the south.

Thinking of this, Cheng De suddenly thought that Feng Guoyong had already led the army into the Dabie Mountains for a while.

If Feng Guoyong successfully crossed the Dabie Mountains, his surprise attack on Huangzhou City would spread throughout the world.

Now, there is no news from Jueshengwei in Huangzhou City, which means that Feng Guoyong may still be in the Dabie Mountains.

If there is no accident on Feng Guoyong's side, it will definitely succeed.

What made Cheng De even more delighted was the battle between Deng Youde and Li Sanqi when they attacked Anqing Road.

According to the battle report sent back by Deng Youde, the Anqing Road Yuan army could not retreat, and the rear route had been cut off. It would be a matter of time before Anqing Road was captured.

Apart from these news, the rest of the Ming Dynasty is currently recuperating.

Reducing burdens and taxes, reducing the occurrence of starvation, these are all things that the Ming Dynasty is doing.

In the blink of an eye, more than six months have passed.

Great Zhou and Great Mingqiu have not committed any crimes, and both countries are making great efforts to develop.

Deng Youde led the army to besiege Anqing Road, and Yu Que kept the city gate closed, but it didn't let Deng Youde find a suitable fighter.

But Dazhou was different. In the past four months, Dazhou successively took over Taixing, Jinghai, Wuxi, Changzhou and other places. The territory expanded rapidly and the population surged.

And Chen Youliang's big man is also growing rapidly. In just over six months, Jianchang Road, Ganzhou, Tingzhou and other places have been added to the site.

On January 14th of the [-]th year of Zhizheng, Han Wang Chen Youliang moved his capital to Jiangxia City, Wuchang Road, and Cheng De officially moved into the newly built Huaiwang Palace. Saint Wu.The Palace of King Huai was changed to the Daming Palace, and the original heir, Cheng Biao, was the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Xiuying was the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, Luo Yan was the Concubine Yan of the Ming Dynasty, Liu E was the Concubine De of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Lingling was the Concubine Xian of the Ming Dynasty, Guo Hui is the Concubine Hui of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Xiuying gave birth to a son Cheng Min, who was named King of Jin, Luo Yan gave birth to a son Cheng Min, who was named King Qin, and Luo Yan gave birth to a daughter who was named Princess Da Ming. Princess Ning and Shen Lingling gave birth to a son, Cheng Di, who was named the King of Yan.

On January [-], the first year of Shengwu, Feng Guoyong led an army to raid Huangzhou Road, and the area north of Huangzhou Road and east of Huangzhou Road were declared lost.

On January 21, the first year of Shengwu, Chen Youliang was furious when he learned of the battle on Huangzhou Road, and personally led 30 troops to station in Huangpi City and Xinzhou City on Huangzhou Road, confronting Feng Guoyong's [-] troops.

On January 27, the first year of Shengwu, all the grain of the Yuan army in Anqing Road was exhausted, and the Yuan army's hearts fluttered, and they began to kill the people and share the food.

On January 28, the first year of Shengwu, Cheng De learned of Feng Guoyong's battle report on Huangzhou Road, and called civil officials and generals to discuss matters in the Qinzheng Hall of the Palace.

Since King Huai's palace was built according to the size of the emperor's palace, the palace was extremely magnificent and cost a lot of money, which made Cheng De heartbroken for a long time, but after living in it, he thought it was all worth it.

at this time.

Cheng De wears a crown, which is 12 strings of white jade strings hanging from the front and back of the crown. He is wearing a black dragon robe with a pattern of "twelve chapters". , dragon, and Chinese insects (sometimes divided into flowers and birds); the lower garment is embroidered with six patterns: Zongyi (a tiger and a snake before the Southern Song Dynasty), algae, fire, rice flour, 軼, 軻, left waist Wearing a large yellow red pendant on the side, it is two feet nine feet and nine inches long. It sits high on the dragon chair in the palace, with piercing eyes and a tiger's eye, which makes the officials dare not look directly at it.

The position where the group of officials stood was under the twelve jade steps at Cheng De's feet, standing on the left and right, with the left and the right.

There is a huge golden pillar carved with dragons in each of the two columns of civil servants and generals, and the carved dragons are lifelike.

At this time, Li Shanchang was standing at the front of the civil servants, and Lu Wuyu was behind him, and those behind Lu were all standing in order.

Standing at the front of the general was Li Sanqi, because Cheng De thought that Deng Youde could do it alone in the battle of Anqing, so he recalled Li Sanqi.

Behind Li Sanqi are Geng Zaicheng, Hua Yun, Zhou Dexing, Li Xiaoci, Feng Sheng and others. These people were all recalled to Nanjing City by Cheng De. As for their original station, Cheng De arranged for new generals to replace them. them.

After paying the salute, all the officials lowered their heads and looked at the ground.

Cheng De looked around at the ministers, and then said: "Feng Guoyong made a surprise attack on Huangzhou Road and took over the territory north and east of Huangzhou Road, about half of Huangzhou Road. However, Feng Guoyong sent back information , this Chen Youliang has personally collected 30 yuan in Huangpi and Xinzhou, and seems to have vowed to take back Huangzhou Road. I called you here to discuss how to deal with this matter?"

Hearing this, Li Shanchang glanced at Li Sanqi, who was headed by the general.

Lu Yong, Shi Naian and the others were silent and did not speak.

Seeing that no one responded, Li Sanqi took the lead to stand up and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the final general thought that Anqing Road should be settled quickly, only in this way can we allow our army to enter Huangzhou Road through Anqing Road and support General Feng. "

Hearing Li Sanqi's words, Cheng De's eyes were gloomy and he remained silent.

Because Cheng De remembered that after Feng Guoyong successfully led an army of 8 to cross the Dabie Mountains, there were only more than 2 people left, and nearly [-] people died in the Dabie Mountains. This kind of death rate is still extremely alarming.

Moreover, because of this incident, the generals were a little afraid of the Dabie Mountains.

The Dabie Mountains are densely covered with jungles, and there are various dangers. After being bitten by poisonous insects and snakes, many people died in the Dabie Mountains jungles due to poor medical conditions.

Also because of this, Cheng De stepped up the research and development of the ointment with quick effect against poisonous insects and snakes in the Tai Hospital, and this incident also attracted criticism from the officials, but Cheng De suppressed it with his own prestige.

In Cheng De's view, if this ointment is developed, it can reduce casualties in jungle combat in the future.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, it is always good to be prepared.

The backward medical conditions also made Cheng De realize that the development of medical technology is also very important to the people of Ming Dynasty.

In order for the people of the Ming Dynasty to have sufficient medical conditions when they get sick, Cheng De is also working hard silently, and brought some winemaking and other technologies from later generations to this world, and also arranged special people to be in charge of marketing to increase revenue for the Ming Dynasty.

Cheng De thought that after the financial increase of the Ming Dynasty, he wanted to invest [-]% of the income in the preparation of public hospitals, so as to provide free treatment for the sick people.

Of course, this matter still needs to be planned slowly, and there is no rush for a while.
