From Yitian, the sword pressed the heavens

Chapter 35 Five years of chaotic war, three points stand 【For collection】

Three days later, in the original city lord's mansion.

Zhang Wuji received a battle report from his grandfather, the Eagle King with White Eyebrows.

The war in the southwest is urgent, Zhang Wuji and the Five Elements Banner are in urgent need of support.

He immediately summoned Zhu Yuanzhang and others to discuss the matter.

"Master, this city of Haozhou is tentatively decided, and it cannot do without you!"

"How about I ask Xu Da to bring 1 people to support the Eagle King?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little unhappy that Zhang Wuji would leave.

Before the siege of Haozhou, to be honest, he was not optimistic about the young leader. He only wanted to confess Zhang Wuji as his grandfather, and send him away when he had enough fun.

But a hearty siege battle, and Zhang Wuji sitting in the city lord's mansion for a month to strategize and constantly put forward opinions on the management of the city completely made him give up this idea.

If I had to sum it up in one word, it would definitely be delicious.

Not to mention the previous siege battle, let's just say that in the past month, Zhu Yuanzhang has followed all the policies of Haozhou City according to what Zhang Wuji said, and the results are far beyond his expectations.

The current Zhang Wuji is just a very thick thigh to him. He is about to continue working hard with Zhang Wuji, but he doesn't want the leader to leave.

Zhang Wuji smiled when he heard the words: "Your brothers are all ordinary soldiers, who cannot withstand long journeys, and ten thousand ordinary soldiers are really not as useful as the three or forty thousand people in the Five Elements Banner."

"It just so happens that the five-element flag is about to rest, and it's time for me to leave."

"I've already decided on this matter, you don't need to persuade me."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's worried expression, Zhang Wuji patted him on the shoulder and said, "Actually, you've been doing very well, keep working hard, I'm optimistic about you!"

After being praised by Zhang Wuji, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became excited, and hurriedly stood at attention.

Looking at the cautious appearance of the future Hongwu Great Emperor, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but be amused.

"Remember what I told you before, build high walls, accumulate food widely, treat people well, and accumulate strength, understand?"

"Just don't worry, the leader. Our old Zhu was originally from a poor family, and he can best understand the hardships of the common people. If anyone under my command dares to let the common people down, I will be the first to spare him!"

"Good!" Zhang Wuji believed Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

After all, history is there. The entire Hongwu Dynasty was the era with the most severe criminal laws and the least corrupt officials.

Although Hong Wu killed, but before the death of his eldest son Zhu Biao, he had always killed corrupt officials. Even the generals who followed him in the South and North Wars would not be relentless as long as they dared to corrupt him, and he never violated his promise throughout his life. .

Time passed quickly, and it was five years in a flash.

After the Mingjiao first rose up and took down several big cities with lightning speed, the whole world was finally shocked to find that those Mongolian cavalry who used to gallop freely and invincibly 100 years ago had completely disappeared in the long river of history.

The Mongol Tartars have long since lost their power in the past.

The Great Yuan Dynasty was like an old man in his twilight who was overturned to the ground by the Ming Cult, revealing his already extremely weak appearance.

Ever since, the whole world was in complete chaos.

Countless heroes, bandits, and gangs jumped out one after another, like dogs smelling blood, and bit the huge body of Da Yuan Chao, biting off pieces of fat.

The war has always been going on.

In the past five years, Zhang Wuji led the Five Elements Banner to fight north and south, galloping across the entire land south of the Yangtze River.

After five years of turbulent and chaotic wars and the destruction of countless small forces, the general situation of the world finally has a clear division of forces.

Thanks to the fact that Mingjiao was the first to raise the pole, and the Five Elements Banner had a sharp siege ability, Mingjiao occupied almost [-]% of the land south of the Yangtze River.

The remaining [-]% is in the hands of the beggar gang led by Chen Youliang.

At the same time, Shaolin Temple finally showed its fox tail. The bald donkeys relied on lay disciples all over the world, as well as a large number of hidden masters and the beggar gang to cooperate with each other to capture Yingtian, a large southern city, and radiate large areas of land north and south of the Yangtze River.

It can be said that the current world is divided into three, presenting a three-legged situation.

The most powerful is the coalition of the six factions dominated by Mingjiao.

Of course, the current six major sects are Mingjiao, Wudang, Emei, Kongtong, Huashan, and Kunlun.

Followed by the Beggar Gang and the Shaolin Allied Forces, the weakest was the Yuan Dynasty, where most of the guards in the north were surviving.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the world will eventually be formed in a decisive battle between the coalition forces of the six major factions and the coalition forces of Shaolin and the Beggar Gang.

Whoever wins the opponent will own the world.

As for the Yuan Dynasty, internal and external disputes continued, the party and government rose and fell one after another, and the financial resources were unsustainable, and they had long been unable to go south.

Just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

In the City Lord's Mansion of Chuzhou City, the top leaders of Mingjiao and the leaders of various sub-altars who have emerged in the past five years gathered together.

Zhang Wuji glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, three days ago Chen Youliang's envoy came to discuss the specific matters of the peace negotiation, and I agreed."

Hearing Zhang Wuji's words, everyone present was silent, and no one had any objection to this resolution.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Wuji continued: "That kid has fought us three times in the past two years, and lost three times, but we can only negotiate peace now."

"I don't need to explain the reason, and everyone understands that Chen Youliang deployed 20 naval troops in Jiangning Town. We don't have enough warships, and the navy is not strong enough to attack Jiangning. Naturally, we cannot pose a threat to the sky."

"So what we have to do now is not to fight wars, but to develop the navy and build large warships."

"That's actually good. Five years of fighting will cost a lot of money. It's just a matter of a few years for us to cultivate. After a few years, the navy has the power to fight, and it won't be too late to take down Chen Youliang."

"Anyway, that's just fat on our pallet."

Hearing what Zhang Wuji said, everyone laughed immediately.

This is true. In the past few years, under Zhang Wuji's policy, the Mingjiao's territory has gradually prospered by focusing on people's livelihood, benefiting the people, and restoring the legal system.

The people's lives are better, and the people's hearts naturally want.

Now as long as he wants, Zhang Wuji can recruit troops on his own territory at any time, and it is easy to pull up another 30 troops.

I dare not say that it is already an iron bucket, but it is not comparable to Chen Youliang and the corrupt Yuan Dynasty.

Pulling out the Mongolian iron cavalry from a hundred years ago may be able to compete with Zhang Wuji.

"Master Zhu Tan!" Zhang Wuji suddenly spoke up.

The relaxed atmosphere is stagnant.

Everyone turned their attention to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in the first seat under Zhang Wuji and was wearing armor.

Everyone knows that this guy with mediocre martial arts but great talent in leading troops and managing territories is going to be promoted.

Sure enough, Zhang Wuji's next sentence confirmed what everyone thought.

"I promoted you to be the chief altar master of my Mingjiao. The position is below the leader and above the left and right envoys of light."

"I will soon return to the Bright Peak of the Mingjiao General Altar. After I leave, all the soldiers and horses on my Mingjiao territory will be under your command. You have to take care of me. Now my Mingjiao has strong soldiers and strong horses, and the government is clear. If it is destroyed by you , don't blame me for taking care of you."
