Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 188: Recognize Zhang Cheng as the master and give him a yellow robe!
Darugaqi was surprised by this. He thought these Han gentry were really here to help them defend the city!

But Darugazi obviously underestimated the flexibility of these gentry.

If it comes time to expel the Tartars, they are actually more active than the people in expelling the Tartars.

"Quickly, seize the city gate and let the rebels enter the city!"

After Xia Xie pulled the knife out of Darugaqi's back, he shouted, and then cursed Darugaqi: "Dog Tatar!"

"Why are you scolding us!"

Darugaqi said something reluctantly, and then fell to the ground.

Zhang Cheng had already asked Yang Xian to send people into the city to contact the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, saying that as long as they performed meritorious service in capturing Jiqing City and avoided a large number of casualties, they would be dealt with leniently.

Therefore, when these Jiangnan gentry saw that there was no hope of capturing Jiqing, they took action first.

However, it was not just the Jiangnan gentry who began to rebel.

Ren Zhigong also panicked in his heart and wandered around: "The surname is Yang! Where are you damn people!"

Yang Yuangao said: "I have a way. Come with me. I know a secret passage."

Zhang Cheng looked at the two people and smiled coldly.

Guo Tianxu, Zhang Tianyou, Shao Rong and others all led their troops and rushed over.

"Why am I not worthy?"

After hearing this, Sun Yan looked at him warily and tightened his grip on the knife in his hand.

"what?!"

Qian Jiu said with a smile: "I also plan to respond to Mr. Zhang's call to drive out the Tartars and restore China. I just want to go with you. Maybe I can become an official in the same court as you."

Half an hour later.

Bang!
After hearing this, Sun Yan was furious, kicked Qian Jiu down, and spat at Qian Jiu: "Are you worthy of expelling the Tartars and restoring China?!"

Yang Yuangao nodded.

Snapped!
Zhang Cheng came over with a riding crop, whipped Ren Zhigong in the face, and ordered people to gag the two men.

"Xingtai, it's useless to say this now, it's better to leave quickly."

Because he knew that if he stayed, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng would definitely not let him go easily.

Qian Jiu let out an "ouch", then touched his butt and stood up. He gritted his teeth and looked at Sun Yan, and said aggrievedly:

Ren Zhigong also rushed over at this time and shouted urgently: "Xingtai, Shenzhen Dagong and others have been killed. We have nowhere to go now."

By the way, it didn't take long for Zhang Cheng to receive news from Yang Xian that people in the city had begun to respond, so he said to Guo Tianxu, Zhang Tianyou and others: "Order the entire army to end their rest and start attacking the city."

Fushou was shocked.

then.

But as soon as Fushou and Ren Zhigong followed Yang Yuangao into a secret passage, Yang Yuangao disappeared.

Yang Yuangao said.

"Where's Yang Yuangao!"

Zhang Cheng got on the carriage and said, "Take them into the city together."

Fushou nodded.

When Sun Yan led a group of his disciples to a predetermined city gate, he met a young gangster named Qian Jiu.

Many well-informed local ruffians or powerful bullies in Jiqing City have also begun to take action, preparing to make achievements under the banner of expelling the Tartars and restoring China, and when the time comes, they can also become officials.

Guo Tianxu, Zhang Tianyou and others nodded and started to take action.

boom!
Not long after, artillery fired.

Fushou and Ren Zhigong were escorted in front of Zhang Cheng by members of the anti-rape team.

Yang Yuangao and others found Fushou at this time and said: "Xingtai, they have shameless evil gentry and cunning people to cooperate with them. Let's leave quickly."

But soon, Fu Shou, Ren Zhigong and others felt drowsy, and then fell to the ground.

Fushou was startled after hearing this, and then slapped his thigh: "Oh! I shouldn't believe that He Fang's nonsense."

Fushou was shocked after hearing this.

Fushou looked at Yang Yuangao and said, "Take me there quickly!"

Ren Zhigong hesitated for a moment, but then followed.

Ren Zhigong woke up at this time. When he saw it was Zhang Cheng, he immediately opened his eyes wide with a look of horror on his face, and cursed loudly:
"Fuck your mother, Yang Yuangao, you have indeed been a thief and a spy for a long time!"

Qian Jiu had worked for the Sun family to collect interest in the past, so he naturally knew Sun Yan. He also knew in advance what Sun Yan was going to do through the slaves around Sun Yan, so he came up to him and asked with a smile:
"Sir, are you going to kill the Tatars too?"

Fushou soon heard the sound of cannons and was greatly surprised. He hurriedly came to Fugui Tower and looked out. He saw that Jiqing City had been destroyed. He turned pale with fright and shouted hurriedly:
"How could the city be destroyed so quickly?!"

Simultaneously.

With the cooperation of the internal forces, Guo Tianxu led Hu Quan and other five hundred soldiers to bravely attack Jiangshan, defeated the Yuan soldiers, and entered the city.

"Yes!"

By this time, Jiqing City had been captured by Guo Tianxu, Zhang Tianyou, Shao Rong and others.

of course.

Many gentry in the city also contributed, so they all knelt down to welcome Zhang Cheng into the city.

When Zhang Cheng entered the city, the morning sun was shining brightly on Jiqing City. The sun shone from the clouds, shining on the buttocks of the gentry and common people kneeling all over the city, and shining on the rows of shops and endless pavilions. superior.

"Mr. Zhang!"

"Mr. Zhang!"

Guo Tianxu, Zhang Tianyou, Shao Rong and others also rushed over one after another after Zhang Cheng entered the city, and respectfully saluted Zhang Cheng with clasped fists. Originally, Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou wanted to make a great contribution to Jiqing and improve their prestige.

But who knew that because of Chen Yexian's conspiracy, Zhang Cheng gained the greatest prestige in the war against Jiqing.

Even Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou themselves had to admire Zhang Cheng even more.

Because if it weren't for Zhang Cheng, the two of them would have become Chen Yexian's dead souls by now.

The same goes for Shao Rong.

Now, no matter how unwilling they are to admit it, they have to admit that Zhang Cheng can see through people's hearts better than them and understands the righteousness better. They can not recognize Zhang Cheng as their master, but they can't offend Zhang Cheng and turn Zhang Cheng into their enemy.

Especially after seeing the raised scars on Ren Zhigong's face, Guo Tianxu's idea became even stronger.

Even when the Song Dynasty used this time, they no longer dared to think about being enemies with Zhang Cheng, but only felt anxious and regretful about persuading Guo Tianxu to use the Yuan soldiers to get rid of Zhang Cheng.

"Has the Zhongshu Yamen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang been cleared?"

Zhang Cheng asked at this time.

Guo Tianxu replied: "It has been cleared."

"Then go to Zhongshu Yamen in Yuanting first!"

"In addition, send a fast horse to report the victory to the Prime Minister!"

"Hua Yun is responsible for maintaining military discipline and order in the city. Anyone who does not abide by the law can be killed first and punished later to protect all public and private property!"

After Zhang Cheng said this, he asked Guo Tianxu, Zhang Tianyou and others to lead him.

Huayun here was assigned to patrol around with Huben Camp.

As soon as he arrived at the Jiangzhe Zhongshu Yamen of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Cheng pointed to the plaque on the Jiangzhe Zhongshu Yamen of the Yuan Dynasty: "Yang Xian, find someone to replace him!"

Yang Xian cupped his hands and said yes.

Zhang Cheng then said to Song Lian who was following him: "Send a letter to the entire city's military and civilians."

Song Lian also said yes.

And then.

Zhang Cheng walked into the lobby of Zhongshu Yamen.

The rebel officers and soldiers guarding here hurriedly pushed open the middle door.

Zhang Cheng strode in. After arriving at the lobby, he looked around and said, "Sit down."

But Guo Tianxu, Zhang Tianyou, Shao Rong and others did not take their seats.

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng asked, "Why don't you sit down?"

"If Mr. Zhang doesn't sit down, how dare we sit down?"

Guo Tianxu smiled.

Zhang Tianyou also pointed to the seat in the middle where Prime Minister Zuo of the Yuan Dynasty's Zhongshu Province was sitting and said: "Mr. Zhang, please take a seat."

Zhang Cheng knew that these people were impressed by him now, so they were willing to be beneath him, so he was not polite and sat directly on the chair in the middle.

As he sat down, he had a panoramic view of the courtyard outside the lobby, with blue sky and white clouds stretching across his eyes. Generals Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou on both sides were sitting or standing, which really gave Zhang Cheng a feeling of majesty and self-reliance.

"Mr. Zhang, my uncle and I have a secret matter that we need to report to you alone."

At this time, Guo Tianxu suddenly said something to Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng therefore asked Qi Xiang and others to retreat, leaving only Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou in the lobby.

"Go ahead."

Guo Tianxu then walked up to Zhang Cheng and said, "Mr. Zhang, why don't you proclaim yourself king?"

"Yes, Chuzhou was captured by Mr. Zhang, and Shenji Camp was founded by you, Mr. Zhang. Even when we crossed the river, Mr. Zhang contributed a lot. This time we attacked Jiqing, we all relied on Mr. Zhang to survive. ”

"Not to mention others, our Second Army is willing to serve you, Mr. Zhang, as the leader. In addition, Mr. Zhang, you are in the old department of the First Army. In fact, your strength is no longer inferior to that of Zhu Yuanzhang."

"So, why should Mr. Zhang be inferior to others?"

At this time, Zhang Tianyou echoed.

Guo Tianxu continued: "Yes, and Shao Rong's Fourth Army now also respects you. As long as Mr. Zhang is willing, I am willing to test Shao Rong's intentions for you."

"You want me to be the emperor?"

Zhang Cheng suddenly became serious.

Guo Tianxu gritted his teeth and knelt down: "We would like to serve Mr. Zhang as our master!"

Zhang Tianyou also knelt down when he saw this: "Me too, now, we all accept our fate. We ourselves do not have the destiny. Only Mr. Qian Zhang is the one who has the destiny and can be the master of the world!"

Zhang Cheng smiled: "You guys get up first."

"If Mr. Zhang doesn't agree to accept us as his subjects, we won't get up!"

Guo Tianxu continued to speak at this time.

"It seems that you have to put me in a yellow robe before you are willing to do it?"

Zhang Cheng asked Guo Tianxu.

Guo Tianxu pursed his lips and said: "We dare not hide it from Mr. Zhang. We would rather serve Mr. Zhang as our master than Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"Zhu Yuanzhang is just a common man who made his fortune from my Guo family. How can he compare with you, Mr. Zhang? Firstly, he doesn't know how to save the people of the world, and secondly, he doesn't know how to rebuild the order of the world. What's more, Mr. Zhang is more tolerant than him, so Instead of serving Zhu Yuanzhang as the master, it is better to serve Mr. Zhang as the master!”

"Do you think that if I really promise you to break with Zhu Yuanzhang now and become emperor, I will really tolerate you in the future?"

"A cunning rabbit dies and is cooked by a lackey, and a flying bird hides all its good bows. It's what the ancient emperors would do. Do you think I really won't do such things after I become the emperor?"

Zhang Cheng asked the two of them.
