Everything starts with Datang Ssangyong

Chapter 193 Zhu Yuanzhang

Xu Ziyi and his party were walking not far from Butterfly Valley, when they suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing in front of them, and the two troops were fighting.The group of heroes rushed forward, passed through a forest, and saw more than a thousand Mongol soldiers lined up on the left and right, attacking a mountain stronghold.

A large flag painted with red flames fluttered from the village, which was the flag of Mingjiao.There are not many people in the village, and they seem to be on the verge of being overwhelmed, but they are still fighting and unyielding.The Mongolian soldiers shot like rain and shouted: "Traitors of the Devil's Cult, surrender quickly!"

Seeing the disciples of the Ming Sect fighting with the Mongol soldiers, Yin Tianzheng and Wei Yixiao rushed out from the rear without Xu Ziyi's orders, using their martial arts to kill the entire Mongolian army. All of them killed the Mongolian soldiers to throw off their helmets and armor.

As for the commander in charge of the army, seeing the situation was not good, he wanted to flee on his horse, but he was killed by the stone thrown by Xu Ziyi from a distance.

The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty had no leader, and there was chaos.

Seeing the arrival of foreign aid, the people in the cottage cheered loudly.At the opening of the gate of the village, a big man in black with a spear in his hand rushed out first. The Yuan soldier was Pi Yi, and no one dared to beat him.With a flash of the big man's spear, a Yuan soldier was stabbed and knocked off his horse.All Yuan soldiers exclaimed again and again, and fled in all directions.

Yin Tianzheng and the two saw this majestic man, like a god, and they all admired: "What a heroic general."

Even Xu Ziyi couldn't help but praise him when he saw this.

Under the attack of the Mingjiao people, the Yuan army killed and injured 600 people, and the rest did not dare to fight, so they split up and left.

The big man in black laughed loudly and shouted: "Which way is the brother coming to help? Chang is very grateful."

"Are you a disciple under my teaching Jumu Banner?"

Seeing that the big man in black did not dismount to salute Xu Ziyi, Wei smiled and said.

"The disciple is Chang Yuchun, a disciple of my teaching Jumu, who has met my teaching dharma king!"

Seeing Wei Yixiao shaving his cheeks and pointing his mouth, his face was gray and bloodless, and the other person had white eyebrows like snow, and his expression was extremely mighty, he already vaguely recognized Wei Yixiao's origin in his heart.

"This is my teacher, Master Xu!"

Seeing that the big man in black was so brave, Wei Yixiao admired him, and quickly introduced him to Xu Ziyi who was beside him.

Bishop?

"Mingjiao disciple Chang Yuchun, met the leader!"

Hearing Wei Yixiao's explanation, Chang Yuchun hurriedly bowed down.

"They are all members of the Ming Cult, so there is no need to bow down!"

When Xu Ziyi heard that the man in black in front of him was the most powerful general in the world in the future, he couldn't help but smile, and lifted him up with his right hand.

It turned out that Chang Yuchun was under the control of Jumu under the Five Elements Banner, and Xu Ziyi took over as the leader, etc., and the envoy Wen Cangsong, who was in charge of the flag, had informed him.These days, he led the brothers from the sect, waiting day and night for Xu Ziyi's arrival, but unexpectedly the Yuan army came to attack.Seeing that he was outnumbered, Chang Yuchun planned to deliberately show weakness and lure the Yuan army into the stronghold to wipe them out, but Xu Ziyi and others rushed to help him suddenly, so he took advantage of the momentum to open the stronghold and fight out.His position in the Ming Cult was not high, when he saw Yin Tianzheng, Wei Yixiao and the two had to bow to each other, even Xiao Zhao who was beside Xu Ziyi never lost his manners.

Seeing that this future vanguard general of the Ming Dynasty was not only brave, but also so knowledgeable about advancing and retreating, Xu Ziyi couldn't help but look at him high in his heart.

It should be noted that Chang Yuchun's bravery is no less than that of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu during the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han. Must win.

During the Northern Expedition, he took the lead and fought hard to break the encirclement and suppression of the Yuan army. He was defeated without fail, and even captured the generals of the Yuan army alive.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Chang Yuchun was ordered to start his Northern Expedition. Within a month, Chang Yuchun led his army to break through the defense line that the Yuan army thought was indestructible, and approached Shangdu. How could Yuchun let him go so easily, he chased Emperor Yuan and ran for dozens of miles before letting go when nothing came of it.

If the class teacher hadn't died of a sudden illness on the way back to the court, I'm afraid he might not have been able to seal the wolf as his Xu.

But even so, in Xu Ziyi's opinion, this pioneering warrior can be regarded as the number one warrior since the Song Dynasty, and his bravery is comparable to that of the former Overlord of Chu!
Chang Yuchun invited Xu Ziyi and his party into the village, slaughtered animals and sheep, held a feast of wine, and talked about the reasons for their separation.

It turns out that in the past few years, there have been floods and droughts in Huainan and Huaibei, and the people have suffered unspeakably.Chang Yuchun had no way of making a living, so he gathered a group of brothers to do the work of the green forest heroes who robbed houses and houses, but he was happy and happy, and when there was a lot of food, gold and silver in the cottage, he went to help the poor.The Yuan army attacked several times, but he couldn't help it.

The group of people rested in the cottage for one night, and the next day they went north with Chang Yuchun, expecting the Yuan army's new defeat, they decided not to come back within two or three months.

Arrived outside the Butterfly Valley.The congregants who arrived first learned that the leader was coming, and formed a long line to welcome them out of the valley.

At that time, the deacons under Jumu had already built many huts and wooden houses in the Butterfly Valley for the various congregations attending the meeting to live in. , Peng Yingyu, Shububu and others all arrived here first, and reported that they had not found any news about the Yuan army.

After Xu Ziyi received the congregation, he prepared sacrifices and ordered people to go to the tombs of Hu Qingniu and Ji Xiaofu to offer sacrifices.

As early as when Feihu was rumored, Xu Ziyi had been favored by Hu Qingniu and his wife. Now that he is in Yitian, it is natural to prepare sacrifices, and Ji Xiaofu is Yang Xiao's wife. Although the two of them do not have the name of husband and wife, they have The reality of husband and wife.

For the sake of Yang Xiao's face, it is natural that I have to go to her grave when I come here!
Three days later, it will be the fifteenth day of the eighth month. A high altar is built in Butterfly Valley, and a raging fire is burned in front of the altar.Xu Ziyi went to the altar to announce that he and the various sects in the Central Plains would explain the past mistakes and oppose the Yuan Dynasty and resist the Hu.

The congregation respectfully obeyed, lighting incense sticks in front of each of them, vowing to obey the orders of the leader and never dare to disobey them.

It is the sky in front of the altar of fire and candles, and the fragrance spreads all over the field. The prosperity of Mingjiao is far ahead of the previous generation.Seeing this prosperous scene, the elderly congregation couldn't help weeping with joy when they thought of the scene of the sect being torn apart and almost destroyed for more than ten years.

In the afternoon, the followers of the church reported: "Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da, disciples of Hongshui Banner, are asking to see you."

Hearing the report from his followers, Xu Ziyi couldn't help but frown.

The date of the party he agreed to before has passed, but Zhu Yuanzhang and his party led the crowd to come late. How could Xu Ziyi fail to guess what he was thinking!

Xu Ziyi is not like Zhang Wuji's personality, he treats others with kindness and tolerance, and never regards himself as the leader of the leader, so he treats the disciples mostly with courtesy.

Since Yang Dingtian disappeared, Mingjiao has also fallen into disintegration. The long-term lack of master naturally caused many people to have other thoughts.

And it is obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang is among these people.

Seeing that Xu Ziyi frowned slightly, Leng Qian, who had traveled thousands of miles from Guangmingding to Huaibei Butterfly Valley, ordered someone to bring Zhu Yuanzhang and his party in.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da led Tang He, Deng Yu, Hua Yun, Wu Liang, and Wu Zhen into the hall. Seeing Xu Ziyi's figure, Zhu Yuanzhang and his party bowed and saluted together, saying: "See the leader !"

Seeing that Xu Da and the others were all dominated by Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Ziyi seemed to have a normal expression, his eyes only looked at everyone for a while, and then he said: "Mr. ?”

Leng Qian at the side took a step forward and said, "Forty rattan sticks!"

"Zhuang Zheng, you are in charge of the Five Elements Flag, and this time it will be supervised by you!"

Looking at Zhuang Zheng at the side, Xu Ziyi ordered calmly.

Hearing this, Zhuang Zheng walked out expressionlessly and said, "Follow orders!"

And Zhu Yuanzhang, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but his face changed when he heard the words, but he soon returned to normal, and he still bowed his head respectfully and said: "The disciple is punished!"

Then he was dragged down by two Five Elements Flag disciples, and soon there was the crisp sound of rattan sticks hitting his back from outside.

After a while, I heard Zhu Yuanzhang's muffled humming from outside the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang's martial arts is average, he can only be said to have a rough fist, and he can barely protect himself when used in battle, but he can't be regarded as a third-rate role in the Jianghu Zhonglian.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear the punishment, Xu Da couldn't help but boldly said: "Reporting to the leader, we received the order from the leader in early June. Everyone is very happy. Brothers discuss what gifts should be prepared to celebrate the leader. That's why it's too late!"

"Go on!"

Seeing that it was Xu Da who spoke, Xu Ziyi also gave him a chance to speak.

It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang and his party decided to go to Shandong temporarily.They were afraid that they would be recognized by the government, so they pretended to be mule drivers, and Xu Da pretended to be the leader of the driver.

When they came to Guide Mansion in Henan Province, they picked up some old Western guests and went to Heze in Shandong Province.Just at this time, a group of very vicious people with knives and guns came and drove away their guests and asked them to drag other people.

When they came to a mountain depression, they found out that the person they wanted to drag was a Shaolin monk, and they ran into a master of the Wudang sect on the way.

In the end, a group of them pulled a carriage and sent the group of Shaolin monks to Wan'an Temple in Dadu, fearing that the group of people would kill them, so they fled Dadu overnight.

Afraid that the group of people would catch up afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered them to catch seven mule and horse dealers from the nearby mule and horse dealer, exchanged clothes with them, and then hacked the seven people to death in the temple. It was chopped so badly that the murderers could not recognize it.They also killed all the cart drivers who came with us, and scattered the money all over the ground, pretending that two groups of people were fighting for money and murdered.

Speaking of this, Xu Da obviously couldn't bear it, but the others didn't care, and instead regarded it as a success!
Hearing Xu Da's explanation, Zhou Dian, who was always talking nonsense, said, "You guys keep talking about preparing gifts for the leader, so what about gifts?"

Seeing Zhou Dian ask a question, Xu Da and his party couldn't help showing embarrassment.

At this time Xu Ziyi said: "Zhu Yuanzhang's seven people found out the whereabouts of the masters of Shaolin and Wudang, and they made a lot of contributions. For this reason, they are only punished with twenty rattan sticks, so that they can commit crimes and make meritorious deeds in the future!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was exempted from follow-up punishment, Xu Da and others couldn't help being surprised, and thanked Xu Ziyi on his behalf.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang and his party had such a high prestige in the eyes of everyone, Xu Ziyi's expression seemed normal, but he faintly noticed it in his heart.

As the only rebel leader in history who was able to succeed in the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal ability is naturally impeccable.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang was limited by his birth, and his own abilities are understandable, but his vision limited him alone.

After he became emperor, a series of measures can be said to have laid the foundation for the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Ziyi came to Yitian, and he also wanted to change the outcome of the Central Plains being invaded by foreigners in the future.

For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang can't occupy the magpie's nest, so that he has the opportunity to steal the fruits of Mingjiao!
After dealing with these trivial matters, at night Xu Ziyi gathered the congregation again, lit fire and incense, and announced that all regions would unite to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.

It's time to decide the next strategy, the leader Xu Ziyi, the left envoy of Guangming Yang Xiao, and the green-winged bat king Wei Yixiao will take charge of the general altar and become the commander-in-chief of the whole teaching.White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng led the congregation under Tianying's banner to revolt in the south of the Yangtze River.

And Xu Da, together with Chang Yuchun's men and horses, and Sun Deya, set up an army in Haozhou, Huaibei.

Budai monk said that he could not lead Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Du Zundao, Luo Wensu, Sheng Wenyu, Wang Xianzhong, Han Jiaoer and others to start an incident in Yingchuan, Henan.

Peng Yingyu led Xu Shouhui, Zou Puwang, Ming Wu, etc. to revolt in Jiangxi Gan, Rao, Yuan, and Xinzhou.

Taoist Tieguan led Bu Sanwang, Meng Haima and others to revolt in the Jingxiang area of ​​Hunan, Chu, and Xiang.

Zhou Dian led Zhima Li, Zhao Junyong and others to revolt in the Fengpei area of ​​Xusu.Leng Qian, together with the congregation in the Western Regions, intercepted the Mongolian reinforcements from the Western Regions to the Central Plains.

The five-element flag is dispatched by the general altar, and whoever is in a hurry will ask for help.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he was ordered by Xu Ziyi to wait for his injury to heal, and then lead Tang He and others to go to Persia to ask for the Mingjiao Holy Fire Order from Central China.

Zhu Yuanzhang was full of ambitions, so Xu Ziyi had to be careful and guarded. He ordered him to lead the people to the Persian Church in person, in order to prevent him from secretly buying people's hearts and accumulating strength.

What's more, he cut off his arm and ordered Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to form an army and raise troops in Huaibei by themselves.

Even with the jade pendant in hand, after all, Xu Ziyi won't be able to stay in the world where Yitian lived for too long, so he has to make preparations in advance.

In case it is left in the future, this Mingjiao will be stolen by Zhu Yuanzhang again.

Without Xu Da, the No.1 famous general since the Song Dynasty, and Chang Yuchun, the number one fierce general since the Song Dynasty, although Zhu Yuanzhang can do moves in private, he is not as smooth as the original book after all.

At present, everyone donates blood as an alliance, burns incense as an oath, and will die to live up to the righteousness.

It was the late moon and it was as bright as the day, and all the church members sat on the ground, and the deacons of the main altar took out plain stuffed round cakes and shared them with everyone.

When people saw that the round cake looked like a moon, they said it was a "moon cake".According to later legends, the Han people met to eat moon cakes and kill the Tartars in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, because it was the event of the Ximing Sect to gather righteousness and make decisions.

Xu Ziyi then declared: "This religion has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is not like meat and wine. But now there is a famine everywhere, and we can only eat whatever we have. What's more, our first major task today is to drive out the Tartars. Brothers don't eat meat and meat. The spirit is not strong, so it is difficult to fight. From now on, the canon of not eating meat and wine will be abolished. Let us conduct ourselves in the world, and take the big festival as the most important thing. Food taboos are just a spare thing." Some eat pork.

In the early morning of the next day, people from all walks of life bid farewell to Xu Ziyi.Although everyone is a generous hero, but thinking of the bloody battle in the four fields, who will survive and who will die, the great event will be accomplished, and the heroes in the Butterfly Valley Conference today may not survive half of them, so they all feel reluctant to say goodbye.

At that time, the holy fire in front of the Butterfly Valley was burning, and someone suddenly sang loudly: "Burn my body, the holy fire is raging. What joy is there in life, why bother in death?"

All the people chorused in unison: "Burn my remnant body, the blazing holy fire, what joy is there in life? What is the pain in death? To do good and eliminate evil, there is only light. Joy, sorrow, and sorrow all return to dust. Pity me, the world, there are so many sorrows! Pity me The world is full of sorrows!"

The singing voice of "have mercy on my people, there are so many sorrows! Have mercy on my people, there are many sorrows!", flutters in Butterfly Valley.Qunhao, dressed in white clothes like snow, walked up to Xu Ziyi one by one, bowed to salute, and walked out with their heads held high, without looking back.Xu Ziyi couldn't help but froze when he thought of such a good man who was about to spill blood all over the land of the Central Plains in the next 20 years.

But when the singing faded away, the warriors dispersed, and the Butterfly Valley, which had been bustling for several days, returned to silence, Xu Ziyi took Yin Tianzheng, Wei Yixiao, Xiao Zhao and others to the capital.

PS: There is no doubt about Lao Zhu's ability!
However, after he proclaimed himself emperor in the later period, the national policy he designated was indeed a bit strange!
For example, in the late Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of huge clans added a lot of economic pressure to the Ming court!

So one's background limited Lao Zhu's own vision...

The policies he promulgated had advantages and disadvantages, but many of the national policies specified by the founding of the country laid the foundation for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Finally, try to end Yitian Scroll as soon as possible!
