Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 198 Biography of Jiangnan (third update)

After a night of fighting, the chaos in Yangzhou gradually subsided.When Gao Cheng was surrounded by personal guards and entered the city, the blood on the street was washed away, and the corpses were dragged outside the city to be burned and buried.

When Gao Cheng entered the city, he saw that the people in the city were hiding in their homes in fear, secretly watching groups of soldiers passing by on the street through windows and door cracks.

"Mr. Zhu, I'll leave it to you to release the list to appease the people and comfort the city!" Gao Cheng came to a house temporarily serving as a palace, first called Zhu Sheng, and asked him to act as a pacifier for the time being.Responsible for civil affairs inside and outside Yangzhou.

Zhu Sheng chuckled and was full of energy. He broke through Yangzhou City and wiped out hundreds of thousands of Tartar troops.

Then Gao Cheng called the commander of the Mongolian Yuan Han army who had surrendered, and prepared to appease the surrendered generals who had just surrendered.

After counting, there are still more than 36 people in Yangzhou City, and the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry army has a total of 30, including [-] Mongolian cavalry, [-] Han cavalry, and the remaining [-] people. Most of them are Han soldiers.

The highest position of these Han soldiers was nothing more than a commander who commanded thousands of people, and was restrained by Mongolian Wanhu and Qianhu.

"The 36 army, except for the 50 Mongolian cavalry, the rest of the Han soldiers can be absorbed, so I have more than [-] troops in my hands?"

In capturing Yangzhou City this time, what Gao Cheng valued most was not Tuotuo's head, but the army of more than 30 people.In addition to the army he stayed in Zhenjiang, he instantly had the largest army in the world.

However, he remembered that in the original timeline, after Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, his army numbered as many as one million.Thinking about it this way, the somewhat inflated mentality returned to its original state.

At this time, the generals from the Yuan soldiers who had a somewhat frightened face came to pay their respects, Gao Cheng quickly stopped the calculations in his mind, and began to comfort the generals with a smile on his face.

These people play a huge role in annexing and absorbing more than 30 troops.

After such a long period of training, Gao Cheng's ability to calm people's hearts has gradually matured. After these contingencies were arranged by him one by one, he gradually felt at ease.

From the beginning of the Ming Sect's rise to the present, Gao Cheng has not had a precedent of killing and surrendering, and many heroes who took refuge halfway have also been reused. These surrendered generals also made up their minds to seek refuge after inquiring about Gao Cheng's previous behavior.They all breathed a sigh of relief today when they formally contacted the King of Wu.

At this time, Chang Yuchun walked over with a few people with joyful faces, and shouted: "Your Majesty! Prime Minister Meng Yuan Tuotuo was beheaded by our army. This is his head!"

Gao Cheng turned his head to look, and in Chang Yuchun's hands, it really was Tuotuo's head.At this time, following Chang Yuchun was a burly man with a Chinese face and two deputy generals with extraordinary bearing.These people are Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He and three people.

Gao Cheng's eyes lingered on Zhu Yuanzhang for a while, and then asked: "Okay! Tuotuo is the Prime Minister of Meng Yuan. Once he dies, the Meng Yuan court will definitely be shocked!"

Chang Yuchun smiled and said: "This time I was able to kill Tuotuo, thanks to this brother Zhu Yuanzhang, he, Xu Da, Tang He and the three found Tuotuo's trail and blocked him at the north gate, otherwise this time I was taken off and ran away!"

After Chang Yuchun had finished speaking, the three of Zhu Yuanzhang came forward to pay respects: "Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He from the Haozhou sub-altar pay respects to the king!"

Gao Cheng nodded, feeling a little complicated in his heart. He originally wanted to refrigerate this Ming Taizu, but he didn't expect that gold would shine wherever he put it, and he would shine brilliantly if he gave it some sunlight.Should it be said that it is a potential dragon?

But now that the dragon aura on Gao Cheng's body has transformed into a real dragon, no matter how strong the dragon aura on Zhu Yuanzhang's body is, it will be suppressed.It is impossible to have the opportunity to become Ming Taizu again.

As the saying goes, this time and that time, before the Yangzhou war, Zhu Yuanzhang was still one of the future real dragon candidates, but after the war, Gao Cheng has officially become a dragon, and coupled with the precautions in advance, Zhu Yuanzhang has no chance to become a dragon.

He is not the indecisive homeboy Zhang Wuji.With his current invincible strength, as long as he doesn't die and go into seclusion, becoming emperor is only a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Gao Cheng said, "Master Zhu, you have done a lot to kill Tuotuo. In this case, I will appoint you as the general! Xu Da and Tang He will be the deputy generals. I hope that after the arrival of King Mengyuan Ruyang's army, you will be killed. , you can make new achievements!"

For Zhu Yuanzhang, Gao Cheng actually admires Zhu Yuanzhang very much. He is unparalleled in intelligence, resourceful, commanding troops, and internal affairs, and he is good at learning. The official system, military system, and civilian system of the dynasty.

He even compiled the Ming Dynasty's imperial edict, a handbook for being an official after the magistrate of the county magistrate took office.

Such a person is the top talent in any era.

It's a pity that he was born in a poor family, most of his brothers and sisters starved to death, and he was forced to become a monk to beg. This kind of experience made Zhu Yuanzhang attach great importance to his family business and became a bit mean and ungrateful.

After becoming the emperor, among the eighty or ninety founding heroes, less than ten were able to die well.This is his biggest shortcoming.

But Gao Cheng is now the monarch, and Zhu Yuanzhang is his general.This disadvantage is an advantage.As long as a person has shortcomings, he can be manipulated by others.

Hearing that Gao Cheng made the three of them generals and deputy generals, and they didn't need to be separated, even in Zhu Yuanzhang's city, he couldn't help showing a little joy, and quickly knelt down to thank him.

Since Gao Cheng's brilliance is too bright now, strictly speaking, it only took one year from the time when he raised troops in Huzhou to sweeping Jiangnan and breaking Yangzhou.Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed that he could achieve the king's career in such a short period of time.

Therefore, his biggest wish now is to be able to make contributions under Gao Cheng, hoping that after the founding of the Mingjiao, he can become the hero of the founding of the country.There is no ambition to fight for hegemony on its own.

Afterwards, Gao Cheng ordered Tuotuo's head to be spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River, to deter Yuan soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi.Tuotuo is the central prime minister of the Meng Yuan Dynasty. His head was delivered in the south of the Yangtze River, which immediately shocked everyone on both sides of the Yangtze River. No matter the Han people or the Mongolian people, at this moment, they all realized that Gao Cheng's Ming army had completely become powerful!

The unbroken cities in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the first-generation cities in Fujian Province, revolted one after another, beheaded Dalu Huachi of Mongolia, and declared to join the Ming army.

For a time, Huguang and Fujian were blooming everywhere.The Mongol Yuan rule in the south of the Yangtze River collapsed.The Ming army's slogan of expelling the Tartars and restoring the Central Plains also resounded throughout the world, making all the Mongols and Semu people uneasy.

Even in Jinling City, someone was already preparing to submit a petition to persuade Gao Cheng to proclaim himself emperor and start a country.

On the fifth day after the city of Yangzhou was broken, Chahan Timur, king of Ruyang in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, led 20 cavalry along the Grand Canal.

He was the only commander-in-chief in Meng Yuan, and he won the trust of Emperor Yuan. Unfortunately, not long after he went south from Xuzhou, the prime minister Tuotuo was defeated and died.A mess was left.

After the Ming army broke through Yangzhou, they quickly swept around. Sapphire led troops to break through Huai'an, pushing the fighting area to both sides of the Huaihe River.Most of the land in Huainan from the Huaihe River to the Yangtze River fell into the hands of Gao Cheng.

Under such circumstances, Gao Cheng naturally would not wait to die in Yangzhou, but personally led the army northward.Came to Huai'an to prepare to meet the enemy.Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He and the three generals who had just been promoted were also in the army.

　It's hard to write about history. .In the next dungeon world, I will definitely not write about hegemony again. . .Just fighting for hegemony in the Three Kingdoms world is enough...
