Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

As soon as Zhang Fengyi's words came out, the expressions of Li Shanchang, Lu Zhongheng and others suddenly changed.

Although they had already made this guess when they met the Chief of the Qin Palace, Shi, they were still surprised when they actually heard the idea.

King Zhu Fang of Qin was Zhu Yuanzhang's second son, only one year younger than Zhu Biao, and was the earliest prince to become a vassal.

Completely different from Zhu Biao's benevolence, this King of Qin had no royal nobility. Instead, he was as reckless, violent, and arrogant as these noble generals.

When he first came to dominate Shanxi, Can Yuan often fought with Can Yuan before he was exterminated. Therefore, no one among the kings could compare with him in terms of his ability to lead troops in battle. King Jin and King Yan were both novices and younger brothers in front of him.

But this time Zhu Yuanzhang transferred the Shenji Battalion and Navy trained by Li Wei to King Jin and King Yan respectively, and asked them to lead the Northern Expedition. With this great victory, the gap between them was instantly smoothed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement could not rule out the intention of letting the third and fourth elders restrain him. In the past, he was often reprimanded and punished by his father for bullying the people and misbehaving. This incident made him even more resentful.

Li Shanchang's expression changed. As a vassal king, Zhu Feng already had a lot of troops. If he had nobles like them to help him, he might actually be able to accomplish something.

"How many troops can His Highness King Qin dispatch?" Li Shanchang asked.

Zhang Fengyi turned her gaze to Wei Mingjie, and Lu Zhongheng and others also looked at him.

Wei Mingjie smiled, stretched out his right hand and spread his fingers: "Fifty thousand."

This is what King Qin can mobilize

Li Shanchang frowned and looked at Lu Zhongheng and others with questioning eyes.

Lu Zhongheng shook his head directly: "It's not enough. There are more than 100,000 troops in the capital, and they are all well-equipped elites. With only these 50,000 troops, it is absolutely impossible!"

Fei Ju and Tang Shengzong also nodded in agreement. They were both veterans of marching and fighting. They had rich combat experience. They were also familiar with the military strength of the capital and various places, and their judgments were still very accurate.

Li Shanchang turned his attention back to Zhang Fengyi.

Zhang Fengyi smiled softly: "Li Guogong, I heard that you are familiar with General Lan. Isn't there any way to persuade him to collude in big things?"

Li Shanchang shook his head and sneered: "I guess he regards himself as a close confidant of the prince, and he is still waiting for the prince to become a highly respected minister after he ascends the throne!"

It is true that Lan Yu was trained by His Majesty and left to the Crown Prince, but so was Li Wei. If he expected it to be true, the Crown Prince would definitely re-enable Li Wei after he ascended the throne in the future, and would favor him generously. On the contrary, Lan Yu's status would also change in the future. There will be no more promotions, and there will even be some cuts.

Zhang Fengyi pondered for a moment, then suddenly sneered and said: "Then just stop his thoughts, right?"

Li Shanchang's eyes suddenly condensed: "How to break it?"

"It's time for the public to worry about it. I have my own solution."

Zhang Fengyi didn't say much, but then said: "General Lan led the troops to conquer the rebellion. He should have 100,000 troops and horses in his hands now, right? In addition to the 50,000 troops and horses in the hands of King Qin, you and I can also collect more or less Some, it shouldn’t be difficult to raise an army of 200,000 people like this. As long as you command it properly, great things can be accomplished!”

When they heard about the 200,000-strong army, Li Shanchang, Lu Zhongheng and others became very excited.

Before, they had no soldiers in their hands, so they had no choice but to capture them. If they really had so many soldiers and horses in their hands, they would fight to the death no matter what!
"Or not!"

At this time, Zhao Yong suddenly interrupted, and everyone looked at him with doubtful eyes.

Zhao Yong explained: "The high city of Yingtian is a deep chasm, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, His Majesty's troops are equipped with firearms, but we do not have such powerful firearms. I am afraid there is no chance of winning in a fight."

Hearing his words, Lu Zhongheng and others frowned. Although they, the nobles, looked down on the newly rising Li Wei, they had to admit that the firearms made by Li Wei were powerful.

To put it more seriously, there is a huge difference in combat power between armies with firearms and armies without firearms. This is a fact they have to face.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave priority to firearms and equipment to his pro-army troops. Most of the local guards outside still used old firecrackers and artillery, which were unable to fight against the well-equipped pro-army troops.

Thinking of this, everyone fell silent again.

At this time, Zhang Ziyi said: "Don't be discouraged. Although we don't have firearms, one of us does!"

"Who?" Zhao Yong looked at him in surprise.

"Li Wei!" Zhang Ziyi said in a deep voice.

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed again.

"You want us to join forces with Li Wei?" Lu Zhongheng asked displeasedly.

Li Shanchang, Tang Shengzong and others also frowned.

They have always had a hostile relationship with Li Wei, especially Lan Yu, who is at loggerheads with Li Wei. If the two of them bump into each other, why don't they start fighting?

Zhang Fengyi advised: "This moment is another moment, and now the situation is forcing us to work together to survive this disaster!"

"Hmph, even if we agree, Lan Yu will not agree. And now Li Wei is imprisoned in Yangzhou and heavily guarded. Do you want us to attack Yangzhou first to rescue him, and then raise our troops to attack Yingtian?" Li Shanchang snorted coldly. road.

"You don't need to know about Lan Yu for now. When the time comes, when the army moves and the arrow is on the string, he will make the right choice. As for Li Wei..."

Zhang Fengyi paused slightly and glanced at Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi nodded lightly at him, and then he continued: "Don't worry, everyone, we have already made arrangements, and someone will take him out of Yangzhou City by then."

Seeing Zhang Fengyi solve these problems one by one, making what was once impossible become feasible, Li Shanchang couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

If all this goes as smoothly as he planned, then as long as they control the capital, they can mobilize the soldiers and horses of the world in the name of the emperor. Then they will find an opportunity to let King Qin take the throne instead of the prince, then they can escape. Robbed.

As for how to deal with King Jin, King Yan and others in the future, that is a matter for the future.

With nobles like them and the power to mobilize the world's troops, even if King Yan of Jin had the merits of the Northern Expedition, they would be able to deal with it calmly.

"In that case, let's do as you say."

Li Shanchang said softly.

Zhang Fengyi smiled slightly and looked at Lu Zhongheng and others.

Lu Zhongheng and others looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, that being the case, let's work together to celebrate together!"

Zhang Fengyi picked up the tea on the table and said loudly.

Everyone else also raised their glasses and drank together.

……

At Li Wei's mansion in Yangzhou, a dozen soldiers sat around Li Wei like primary school students, listening to him explain the exploitation and oppression of the feudal system. Zhao Shun next to him was uneasy and did not dare to stop him.

"You are soldiers, and your duty is to protect your family and the country. You are not to be slaves to the officers. It is wrong for the officers to use you to do personal things for them. It is even more wrong for those who beat subordinates at will. The state-owned legal system has Family rules and military laws naturally exist. Even if punishment is required, military laws must be followed. Officers and soldiers should be equal before military laws."

Li Wei said seductively, and all the soldiers nodded, but Zhao Shun next to him was uneasy.

During this period, Li Wei's educational work began to gradually show his authority. His subordinates no longer obeyed his words and would often retort with words such as "what did the prince consort say?" and accuse him of this and that.

Today he punished a few disobedient people harshly, but unexpectedly aroused public outrage and was escorted to Li Wei to receive criticism and education. "Zhao Shun asked me to build a house for his family, and sometimes he took out his anger on me when he didn't get his way!" A soldier pointed at Zhao Shun angrily and shouted.

"Me too, I also worked for his family and even received a beating from him!"

"Prince-in-law, what do you think we should do with him?"

Several soldiers criticized Zhao Shun one after another. Looking at the excited crowd, Zhao Shun shuddered and looked at Li Wei in fear.

Li Wei smiled, then turned to look at him and scolded: "Why don't you apologize to the soldiers quickly!"

"Yes, brothers, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I will definitely correct it in the future!" Zhao Shun quickly said with a smile.

He had to lower his head. Looking at the appearance of these soldiers, if he continued to act like a superior and spoke harshly, he would be beaten severely, to put it mildly.

Li Wei nodded and smiled: "Well, if you know your mistakes and can correct them, you are a good comrade."

Zhao Shun was stunned. He didn't understand what a comrade was, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He could only force out a smile.

A group of soldiers were a little dissatisfied, but even though the spiritual leader Prince Consort said so, they accepted it and spared Zhao Shun this time.

Zhao Shun secretly wiped his cold sweat and thought about how to take the opportunity to leave the house to report the news to Guo Ying. If this continues, a mutiny will happen sooner or later!

Although the guards in the house are still headed by him on the surface, today's events made him deeply realize that Li Wei's words are now much more effective than his orders!
"Prince-in-law, what is a comrade?" A soldier asked him his doubts.

Li Wei said seriously: "Like-minded people are comrades. My ambition is to eliminate exploitation and oppression in this world and build a new world without exploitation, oppression and equality for everyone!"

“No exploitation, no oppression, everyone is equal?”

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but be confused, and after a moment, the confusion turned into deep longing.

"Is it really possible?" Li Zhuang, who was the first to receive education, murmured.

Li Wei looked at him seriously and said: "Why not? As long as everyone works together, of course it can be done!"

After saying that, Li Wei glanced at everyone again and asked in a deep voice: "Do you want such a world?"

Everyone looked at each other, who wouldn't want such a world, but is it possible?

"Of course I do!" Li Zhuang said loudly, "Whatever you say, consort, I will listen to you!"

"I listen to you too!" Zhang Chao shouted.

"I listen to the Prince Consort!"

"We believe in you!"

A group of soldiers shouted in twos and threes.

Li Wei nodded lightly with satisfaction.

Zhao Shun on the side looked pale. What does it mean to build a new world? Isn't that rebellion?
Li Wei cast his gaze on him and asked softly: "What about you?"

"Me?" Zhao Shun trembled and opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.

Li Wei smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. If we don't agree with each other, I won't force you."

Hearing this, Zhao Shun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before he could catch his breath, someone from the soldiers below shouted angrily.

"He belongs to the feudal class. Of course he will not be with us. He just wants to be superior to others and exploit and oppress us!"

"that is!"

Looking at the angry people, Zhao Shun waved his hands in fear: "I'm not, I didn't! Like everyone else, I come from a poor family. Of course I also want this kind of world without exploitation and oppression!"

After saying that, he immediately turned to Li Wei and expressed his determination: "Whatever the Prince Consort wants me to do, I will do it without any hesitation!"

Li Wei raised the corners of his mouth and asked softly: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true! I swear to God!" Zhao Shun pointedly swore.

Li Wei nodded: "That's good, let's do this, you don't want to leave the house these days, stay and talk to me more."

"Ah?" Zhao Shun was stunned for a moment. He was still thinking of finding an opportunity to go out and report the news.

"What's wrong?" Li Wei looked at him suspiciously and asked.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. I'm humble and obey my orders." Zhao Shun said quickly.

Li Wei nodded with satisfaction and let him go.

After some education and transformation by the guards at the house, many people accepted this advanced idea. Among them, the poorer the family, the more convinced they were of his ideas and regarded them as a guide.

After letting Li Zhuang and Zhang Chao control Zhao Shun, the mansion finally came under the control of his real owner.

After settling things in the house, Li Wei called over the guard who often went to the restaurant to buy things for him.

"What's your name?" Li Wei asked.

"Back to Prince Consort, my name is Chen Shan." Chen Shan said respectfully.

"Well, Chen Shan, in this case, you go to the restaurant for me again and hand this note to the other party." Li Wei took out a written note and handed it to him.

Chen Shan was slightly startled, then took it and took a look. He saw that there were some simple numbers on it. He couldn't understand what they meant, so he agreed without asking any more questions: "Okay, Prince Consort!"

Chen Shan left the mansion with the note and quickly came to the restaurant on Dongguan Street. He handed the note to the shopkeeper, who in turn handed it to Ma Liusi.

After Ma Liusi saw it, excitement suddenly appeared on his face. He quickly walked out of the kitchen and went to the lobby to find the night guard dressed as a store clerk.

"Go tell Xie Feihu and the others that the teacher has an order to take action tonight!" Ma Liusi said in a low voice.

"Yes!" The night guard dressed as a store clerk agreed in a low voice, and then hurriedly left the restaurant.

During the recent period, Li Wei used secret contact methods to let the night guards sneak into Yangzhou City quietly. These people dress up as businessmen, passers-by, and servants, and can be mobilized at any time!

As Ma Liusi passed the news, the night guards gathered at the restaurant from all directions. By dark, nearly a thousand people had gathered near the restaurant.

In the innermost guest room on the second floor of the restaurant, Chen Su, Xie Feihu, Ma Liusi and others were sitting around the table, secretly discussing the evening's actions.

"Teacher has taken control of the mansion and can come out at any time. Tonight we only need to follow the Marquis to control the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and then use his name to indirectly control the generals guarding the city!"

Xie Feihu whispered.

Soldiers in this era had little faith. Soldiers would only obey the orders of their generals. As long as they controlled some major generals, they could control the entire army. (End of chapter)
