A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Yingtian
Zhu Yuanzhang led the rebel army into Jiqing, but the city still did not completely belong to him.

Although most of the Yuan troops had raised their flags, there were still about [-] Yuan troops under the command of Fu Shou who were still resisting.

They occupied a mansion in the city and relied on the luxurious courtyard for defense to make their final resistance.

At this time, Yan Ling was standing in front of the mansion. The fifty clan soldiers from back then were now on his left and right as his personal guards. Everyone was wearing heavy iron armor, and even sharp arrows could not penetrate it. There were still many soldiers around them. There were about a thousand volunteers, which were assigned to him by Liao Yongzhong.

This mansion is the residence of an unknown dignitary. It has high walls and a thick gate. If it is attacked by force, the price to pay for meeting each other will not be small.

But Yan Ling had his own method.

"Burn!" He only said a word, with a cruel light shining in his eyes.

The rebels carried out his orders unconditionally.

Countless rockets were projected into the mansion.

The Yuan army was wailing, and the entire mansion was basically made of wood, and it instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Fushou stood in the tall building, looking downstairs in despair. His eyes reflected the firelight. He knew that Jiqing would never belong to Dayuan again.

The heavy door suddenly opened, and the Yuan army poured out howling like ghosts and wolves, with blazing flames on their bodies. More Yuan soldiers had no time to escape and were drowned in the sea of ​​fire.

The rebels watched all this coldly, showing no mercy to their enemies.

Gradually, there was no sound in the mansion, and all the Yuan troops were burned to death before they had time to escape.

Suddenly, a figure appeared again in the sea of ​​​​fire, and a man wearing armor rushed out of the house. From the sophistication of the armor, it was known that this person's identity must be extraordinary.

He let out an angry roar and rushed towards Yan Ling.

The commander of the soldiers, Yan Liuwu, came forward, holding a giant hammer in his hand.

With one blow, the figure was knocked to the ground, its limbs twitching.

Two hammers, blood seeping out from under the armor.

Three hammers, four hammers... Yan Liuwu lifted the visor of the motionless corpse, revealing a thin face.

"It's Lord Fushou." The captured Yuan army recognized him.

Fushou, as you can tell by his name, he is a Mongolian.

He was worthy of the name of a descendant of Genghis Khan and died fighting as a warrior.

Not only Fushou, but also Pingzhang Aluhui, Shenzheng Bojianu, Jiqing Ludalu Huachida Nidasi and others also refused to surrender and died in the battle with the rebels.

Every dynasty has its loyal ministers who must defend their homeland even if they pay for it with their lives.

Even though these people were enemies, their integrity and character were still admired by the generals. Their remains were collected and tombs were erected.

Jiqing City has since been destroyed.

A total of more than [-] soldiers and civilians were obtained.

Soon, a banquet was held for all the ministers and the three armies were rewarded.

As the great hero of this battle, Yan Ling was naturally very famous. The generals took turns toasting to him, and their conversation and laughter were no longer unfamiliar.

This was also a sign that the generals recognized him. He was so drunk that he even began to call himself brothers with several generals.

The banquet was not over yet, and Yan Ling was already extremely drunk.

Although the alcohol content in ancient times was not high, I couldn’t bear to drink it like this!
He was lying on the table, his eyes dim and drunk, and the still lively camp enlarged in his eyes.

The lights were bright, and looking at the vast night banquet scene, pride suddenly burst out in my chest.

He suddenly sang loudly: "The clouds follow the dragon, the wind follows the tiger..."

As if hearing something, the camp gradually became quiet, and only Yan Ling's singing was echoing in the world. At this time, he became the protagonist.

"What's broken in the way of heaven is only mended..." Everyone was still immersed in the singing, but they only heard a "boom", and the singing suddenly stopped. When they lowered their heads and looked down, they couldn't help but laugh and cry: this kid was completely drunk.

"The clouds follow the dragon, the wind follows the tiger..." Someone in the camp sang loudly again.

"Fame, wealth, dust and dirt..." Someone echoed him.

Gradually, the sound grew louder and louder, and finally the entire camp joined in the chorus.

"The cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, and fame and wealth lead to dust and earth."

"Looking at Shenzhou, the people are suffering, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren."

"Look at the world, all the captives are exhausted, and everyone makes up for the incomplete way of heaven."

"Good man, don't leave your parents, just for the common people and not for the Lord."

"While holding the steel knife 99, kill Hu'er before you stop!"

"I am a dignified man, why are Tartars making horses and cattle."

"The strong man drinks the wine in the bowl, and he travels thousands of miles without turning back."

"The golden drum beeps and the crowd roars, and the yellow dragon will not be broken!"

……

In the moonlight, the bloody flag of the rebel army was flying high.

In March of the 15th year of Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang built the Grand Marshal's Mansion in Kangyi, with Liao Yongzhong as the Marshal of the Army, and Zhao Zhong as the Marshal of Xingguoyi to guard Taiping.At the same time, more than ten Confucian scholars including Xia Yu, Sun Yan, and Yang Xian defected to Zhu Yuanzhang and were all hired by him. Zhu Yuanzhang's team began to take shape.

Yan Ling was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to clean up the city. He did a good job. He arranged hundreds of soldiers to maintain law and order, reassured the people not to panic, ordered the soldiers to strictly prohibit disturbing the people, and recruited civilians to repair the city walls...

It didn't take long for Jiqing City to restore order and prosperity.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the top of the tall city, overlooking the ancient city.

After a hundred years since the Song Dynasty, it finally returned to the hands of Han soldiers.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave this thousand-year-old city a new name.

Ying days.
-
Now that the base camp has been decided, the territory should be expanded next. Compared with many anti-kings at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang's territory was still too small.

As a result, armies came out in all directions, ready to bite off a piece of flesh from this decadent dynasty that had slowly fallen.

Xu Da, Tang He and other generals marched to conquer Zhenjiang. Zhu Yuanzhang established the Huaixing Zhenjiang Wing Marshal's Mansion, appointed Xu Da and Tang He as the commanding marshals of the army, and changed Zhenjiang Road to Jianghuai Mansion.

Later, Marshal Qinhuai's Mansion was established, with Yu Tonghai as marshal.

Soon, Deng Yu, Shao Cheng, and Tang Chang led troops to conquer Guangde Road. Zhu Yuanzhang changed it to Guangxing Mansion and set up the Guangxing Wing Marching Marshal's Mansion. Deng Yu and Shao became marshals, and Tang Chang was the marching commander.

When conquering cities and territories, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget to maintain good relations with his neighbors.At this time, his territory had further expanded, and he inevitably came into contact with other forces besides Yuan Ting.

He sent Yang Xian to send a letter to Zhang Shicheng. The content of the letter was friendly and almost flattering. However, after Zhang Shicheng read it, he became furious.

He slammed the letter on the table, pointed at Yang Xian's nose and cursed angrily: "Zhu Yuanzhang is just a beggar, how can he insult me ​​like this?"

Lao Zhu still suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated. There was a sentence in his letter:
"In the past, Kuihuo occupied Tianshui to rule the roost, but now he has conquered Gusu to become king." The original intention was to praise him for his ability.

But who is Wei Xiao?In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Longxi was separatist and was finally defeated and eliminated by Emperor Guangwu.Zhang Shicheng had already assumed the title of King Cheng and founded the Zhou Dynasty. Do you use this to compare others?Implying that he was defeated and died in the end?
It stands to reason that when he gave this letter to his few civil servants, even Yan Ling, who was half-experienced, could see the problem. However, he just finished writing it and asked someone to deliver it.

Who is to blame?

The seeds of conflict were sown.
