Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 164 Zhu Yuanzhang admitted that he wanted to be emperor

Zhang Cheng set up the anti-rape team. He originally wanted to let the anti-rape team catch Ren Zhigong first to prevent Ren Zhigong from revealing more information to Yuan Ting.

But Zhang Cheng didn't expect that Ren Zhigong would be so vigilant. He had kept a low profile since the investment, and stayed away, which made it difficult for the anti-traitor team to find opportunities to get rid of him.

instead. Duo'er, the central official who was arranged by the Yuan Dynasty to lead military affairs in the south of the Yangtze River, suddenly wanted to leave Jiqing and return to Yangzhou, which gave Zhang Cheng the opportunity to have the anti-traitor team capture him.

Because only the people around Duoer have been infiltrated by the anti-rape team.

Therefore, as long as Duoer does not stay in Jiqing City, but chooses to leave Jiqing and return to Yangzhou, the anti-trafficking team will have a good chance of intercepting him on the waterway.

Because the members of the Anti-Corruption Team are all carefully selected people who are good at both land and water, it is easy to dive or sneak into the Yuanting Navy as a sailor without being noticed, not to mention the help of Yang Yuangao.

After Duoer woke up, she took a deep breath because she found that she was in the hands of the rebels.

He thought that his failure to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang and others from crossing the river was already miserable enough.

But he didn't expect that he would fall into a worse situation, and that he would even fall into the hands of the rebels.

Zhu Yuanzhang replied.

Because Zhang Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang are both young now.

"Aren't you loyal to me, Dayuan?!"

Therefore, Duoer only asked this question.

"It's only been a few days, and your attitude has already changed?!"

Duoer was very disappointed and resentful in his heart, but he didn't show it. He just closed his eyes tightly, unwilling to see what was in front of him.

Duo'er only glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and smiled slightly:
"With his broad face and dark skin, he really has Shen Yi's bravery."

"Yes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

"You butcher are quite good at talking."

"Don't they all hate the bandit army to the core?!"

Because he is now considered a person who has seen the wind and rain, and knows that the Mongolian nobles do not take their country seriously, so why should he ask these Han gentry to really take their country seriously? .

"But if you were sitting in my position, you would also become butchers, even more ruthless than me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang replied first at this time.

But Duo'er didn't want to think too much now and could only accept the arrangement of fate. Only when he was in front of Zhang Cheng and Zhu Yuanzhang did he open his eyes and asked: "Which of you is Zhang Cheng and who is Zhu Yuanzhang?"

Sometimes, he really couldn't understand why most people, from the emperor to the common people, didn't take Dayuan's foundation seriously.

"I admit that I am a butcher."

"We are Zhu Yuanzhang."

After arriving at Taiping City, Duo'er only saw the slogans and flags of "Expelling the Tartars and Restoring China" and "Unity of the World" all over Taiping City. She also saw that the Jiangnan gentry she knew in the past had now become loyal to the rebels. people, and saw them queuing up in front of the Taiping Governor's Mansion, which served as the government office for the rebel officers, waiting to be summoned.

"You are all butchers."

Duo'er only said: "The "China News" you run keeps saying that the culprits of the massacre of people in Jiangnan and the large number of forced displacements are the reactionary Yuan Dynasty dignitaries and bureaucrats. If this is the case, why do you only talk about me? It’s the butcher.”

Duoer only replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If we were sitting in your position, we would rather kill the gentry and bureaucrats than force the people to rebel. After all, we may not be so kind, but at least we are not that stupid."

"Zhu Yuanzhang!"

Duo'er suddenly shouted and asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Xu Da frowned.

Chang Yuchun on the side even stood up directly.

But Zhu Yuanzhang asked calmly: "Why, do you think we have touched on your pain point?"

"Don't you want to be the emperor?!"

Duo'er only asked in a deep voice at this time. Duo'er only asked this question, which whetted the appetite of everyone present.

Even the newly attached generals Chang Yuchun, Xie Zaixing, and Deng Yu couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Generals such as Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou who were not direct descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang also looked solemn.

Zhu Yuanzhang twirled his beard and admitted directly: "Of course we thought about it."

"Since you want to be emperor, you should understand that I choose to suffer the common people rather than the gentry. It is not stupidity, but a last resort!"

Duoer only replied.

After that.

Duo'er only smiled again: "However, I don't understand, since you want to be emperor, why do you want Song Lian to publish those shocking articles in the "China News"? It seems that you were also forced by others. It’s a trick, so now you have to follow the path he set.”

Duo'er looked at Zhang Cheng as she spoke.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened at this time.

Duo'er only spoke directly to Zhang Cheng at this moment and said with a smile:
"Zhang Cheng, you make me dream about capturing you alive!"

"But I didn't expect that you captured me alive instead. Is it because I, Dayuan, am not good enough to you Confucian scholars?!"

"Or is the difference between Mongolian and Chinese that important?!"

"You have to cause so much trouble to us and the world. Do you know that our Prime Minister said before his death that you have the talent of a Prime Minister?"

Duo'er just said that she started crying sadly, as if she thought of Tuotuo.

"Actually, you know the reason. I hate the same group as you."

"Including the superiors, as well as the rebel brothers present."

"We all hate the same group, and that's why we're here today."

Zhang Cheng answered with a smile.

Duo'er only understood what Zhang Cheng meant, so she nodded and began to think deeply. Then she closed her eyes and said:

"Then I'll be punished. I'll be cut into pieces with a thousand swords. I'll carve a kneeling statue and erect a monument. I won't complain."

"We are rebels, not bandits."

"There are regulations for dealing with people."

“So, whether I want to chop you up or not depends on what crimes you have committed, which crimes were committed by you alone or by multiple people, and whether you are an accessory or the principal in the crimes committed by multiple people. These must be clearly distinguished. "

"We also give you the right to defend yourself. This is not to give you grace, but to make your conviction as fair as possible and convincing enough for the world and future generations."

"In addition, it will also give you the opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

Zhang Cheng replied.

"Why bother."

Duo'er just didn't appreciate it and said this.

Snapped!
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly slammed the table and pointed at Duo'er: "You are really stubborn. Do they really deserve to be protected by you?!"

"You are becoming them, and you will protect them in the future."

"Besides, I want to be the emperor."

Duoer only smiled and replied.

Zhang Cheng said at this time: "You are right, we are becoming a bureaucracy. Not long ago, we just changed the Chuzhou Xingzhongshu Province, which leads the rebel army, to the Zhongshu Province. Taiping City is the headquarters of the Zhongshu Province, and the Taiping Mansion is the general manager. The government has been changed to Zhongshu Provincial Yamen, but we just don’t want to protect them now. "

"As someone who wants to be emperor, do you think so too?"

Duo'er only asked Zhu Yuanzhang.
