A knife in love

Chapter 3757
Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng turned his head and glanced at Mao Shusheng, only to see that Mao Shusheng's eyes were fierce and his cheeks were puffed up. Obviously, many evil thoughts were born in his heart.Li Qiufeng secretly thought that Mao Shusheng fled to Fusang country with his family, and he was afraid that there would be other twists and turns. Seeing how he hated Emperor Taizu, maybe this matter had something to do with Emperor Taizu.At that time, Emperor Taizu was unable to compete with the Tartars, Zhang Shicheng, and Ming Yuzhen, and he was really disturbed. His counselor Zhu Sheng gave him an idea, called building high walls, accumulating food widely, and slowly becoming king, to persuade Emperor Taizu Don't imitate Han Lin'er, Xu Shouhui, Zhang Shicheng, etc., and rush to become king and emperor, but first take care of the occupied territory as solid as gold, recruit troops, train sergeants, stockpile weapons and food, and when the opportunity comes, make a big move Attacking will definitely defeat the powerful enemy and win the world.Emperor Taizu followed Zhu Sheng's strategy, not only made Xiaoming Wang Han Lin'er his lord, but also made good friends with Zhang Shicheng and Ming Yuzhen, and pretended to submit to the court to gain the trust of Chahan and his son.In this way, he gained power both from the Tartars and the rebels from all walks of life, his power greatly increased, and finally he swept across the south of the Yangtze River and dominated the world.Emperor Taizu was able to achieve great things because of his proper strategy, not all due to conspiracy and tricks.Mao Shusheng is narrow-minded and has little knowledge. It is unfair to ridicule Emperor Taizu.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking, he only heard Mao Shusheng continue to say: "Zhu Yuanzhang is insidious and cunning. He hid in the south of the Yangtze River to accumulate troops and horses, and watched the world. Later, Liu Futong was defeated and killed. Zhu Yuanzhang took the opportunity to kidnap King Xiaoming, and imitated Cao Cao to coerce the emperor to command the princes." On the surface, he respected King Xiaoming as his lord, but in fact he used his status as King Xiaoming to annex the Red Army. Sure enough, after Liu Futong died in battle, the Red Army was leaderless and was beaten up by Tartar soldiers led by Chahan and his son. After being defeated, many defeated soldiers either wandered around or hid in the mountains. These defeated generals heard that King Xiao Ming was in Zhu Yuanzhang's army, and gathered under Zhu Yuanzhang's command, which greatly increased the number of troops under Zhu Yuanzhang, and soon surpassed Zhang Shicheng and Ming Yuzhen and others.

"Zhu Yuanzhang is a hero of a generation, sinister and vicious. He has more and more soldiers and horses, and his ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. He is no longer satisfied with being the leader of the Red Army all the way. He knew that the biggest threat to his proclaiming himself emperor was not Xiaoming King Han Liner, because Han Liner was just a puppet, and he held it firmly in his hands. One day, it would be easy to get rid of Han Liner. At that time, the person Zhu Yuanzhang feared the most was the owner of the Mao family who was the leader of the White Lotus Sect, that is, Mao’s great-grandfather. Zhu Yuanzhang knew that most of his soldiers were members of the White Lotus Sect. He was born and died because he inherited Guo Zixing's position in the army and also inherited Guo Zixing's position in the White Lotus Sect. In the hearts of the White Lotus Sect followers, their leader is not Zhu Yuanzhang, but the eldest son of the Mao family. Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the world, and the Mao family must sit on the throne of the emperor. At best, Zhu Yuanzhang could only be a prime minister or a general. Zhu Yuanzhang was ambitious, how could he hand over the country he conquered to the Mao family? There are more and more people coming, the territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the killing intent on the Mao family is getting stronger and stronger. After he defeated Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, he let his general Liao Yongzhong drown Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er, and the Mao family became his. The thorn in the eye and the thorn in the flesh must be removed quickly."

When Mao Shusheng said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "After Zhu Yuanzhang killed King Xiaoming, he proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtian, and immediately sent Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to lead an army of 20 to the north to attack Dadu. In fact, besides sending a large army to the north, he also secretly summoned a group of confidantes called Jin Yiwei, and asked them to go straight to the hiding place of the Mao family and kill the whole family of the Mao family to avoid future troubles!"

When Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan and Ye Fengchun heard the word "Jinyiwei" from Mao Shusheng, they were all startled.Li Qiufeng thought to himself that Mao Shusheng said that it was Jin Yiwei who went to hunt and kill the Mao family, which is pure nonsense.Jinyiwei was set up by Emperor Taizu after he founded Daming and drove away the Tartars. When the two generals Xu Da and Chang Yuchun led the army to the Northern Expedition, there was no Jinyiwei at all.Sure enough, as I expected before, Mao Shusheng thought that Emperor Taizu had robbed the Mao family, and hated Emperor Taizu to the bone. He not only ridiculed and ridiculed Emperor Taizu, but also made up lies to slander Emperor Taizu. It can be seen that Mao Shusheng is narrow-minded. Definitely not a good person.Right now, Scholar Mao has something to ask of us, so he will be courteous to us.Once we help him defeat Kabamoto Yuliang and his gang and eliminate the serious trouble, I am afraid that this person will turn against us immediately.Therefore, it is necessary to deal with this person carefully so as not to be framed by him.

While Li Qiufeng was thinking, he only heard Mao Scholar continue to say: "Zhu Yuanzhang accepted the remnants and defeated generals under Liu Futong's command, and knew the hiding place of the Mao family from several leaders, but he did not immediately send people to kill the Mao family. The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang has been forbearing and not in a hurry to deal with the master of the Mao family is because he wants to compete with the Tartars, Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and others for the world, so he has to use the members of the White Lotus Sect to work for him. If he kills the Mao family members at this time First, they were worried that if the White Lotus sect lost their leader, they might turn into a mass of scattered sand and disappear in thin air. As a result, their own power would definitely decline, which would give the Tartars, Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang an opportunity. The second was that they would kill When the news about the Mao family was leaked out, the members of the Bailian Sect must avenge the leader. Let alone fighting for the world, they might not even save their lives. Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhu Yuanzhang had to endure it for the time being. Poison Hand, also imitating Liu Futong's appearance, often sent confidant envoys to visit the master of the Mao family, presenting generous gifts, and greeting him on his behalf.

"Until Zhu Yuanzhang wiped out Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng successively, brought all parts of the south of the Yangtze River under his control, drowned Xiaoming King Han Lin'er, and sent a large army to the north. He was confident that no one could stop him from ascending to the throne, so he sent Jin Yiwei to kill A member of the Mao family. It’s just that the envoy surnamed Ji who was ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to lead the way for Jin Yiwei was a great loyal man. Liu Futong's subordinates were ordered by Liu Futong to visit the owner of the Mao family many times, and they have always been loyal to the Mao family. Later, Liu Futong died in battle, and Mr. Ji escaped by luck and did not die in the rebellion. Later, he heard that Xiaoming Wang Han Lin'er After being welcomed into the army by Zhu Yuanzhang, he respected him as the Lord, so he went to Zhu Yuanzhang and served as a secretary in the army. Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Mr. Ji had been ordered by Liu Futong to visit the master of the Mao family, and he hated him very much. , At that time, he had murderous intentions, but the time did not come, so he didn't kill Mr. Ji."
