Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 142: The anti-traitor team takes action, Chang Yuchun comes to surrender

Hanshan County.

On this night, the whole army was preparing to board the warships and sail to Hezhou.

"Zhang Long!"

"Xia Yi!"

Xu Da came to the barracks of Tang Shengzong's headquarters of the First Army and called his name.

Tang Shengzong, who was preparing to board the ship, came over and asked Xu Da, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Long and Xia Yi also ran over at the call of their comrades.

Xu Dadao: "Now we have to choose someone to avenge Mr. Zhang!"

"what?!"

Mr. Qian Wei Decheng asked at this time.

According to the waterway transportation at that time, after crossing Chaohu Lake from Hanshan, one had to go to Chaoxian County first, and then cross the river via Tongcheng Gate, Huangdun and other strongholds.

Zhang Cheng indeed takes great care of the Rebel officers and soldiers he comes into contact with in his daily life. From ideological guidance to disease treatment and science popularization, he has indeed helped many Rebel officers and soldiers.

"Then let's go!"

Xu Da then continued: "Therefore, the superiors need to form a team of anti-traitors, and select smart and capable people to take a fast boat to track the traces of Ren Zhigong, find out where he went, and look for opportunities to get rid of him as soon as possible. First, he will go out for Mr. Zhang. The second is to prevent villains like him from causing greater harm, so we cannot let him live!"

That night.

Let’s talk.

"This man is ruthless and has always been fond of doing despicable means. My brother was killed by his despicable means. Therefore, we must be careful that even though Zhu Yuanzhang promised Li Pu Sheng to let us go, he will still send people to hunt us down! "

"Zhang Cheng is a scholar and may not hold a grudge because I scolded him, but Zhu Yuanzhang is different!"

"There is no other better way. Now we are only closer to the imperial water fort. If we delay for a while, we will be overtaken by Zhu Yuanzhang's navy. We can only try first."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang saved many brothers during the battle. How could we let a man named Ren insult our Mr. Zhang!"

Tang Shengzong also said: "That's right!"

Wei Decheng and Tang Shengzong both said nothing after hearing this.

"Why not choose us?"

"Is there someone here to ask for surrender?"

"Let's go too!"

"Hurry up and raise the white flag and torch to let the people in the court know."

After Manzihaya learned about this situation from Marshal He Mu, he couldn't help but ask this question.

"Fuck him!"

Ren Zhigong started talking after hurriedly giving instructions.

at this time.

Li Guocheng said to Ren Zhigong: "Yue Weng, do we really want to surrender to the imperial court?"

Many of the military academies who came to watch immediately went crazy and started to yell at each other, especially the military academies that had followed Zhang Cheng in conquering Chuzhou and Waliang.

Xu Da glanced at Wei Decheng: "This requires good riding skills and good water skills! Besides, it is impossible to transfer all the chief officers without doing the right thing."

"Then speed them up!"

After hearing this, Tang Shengzong was greatly alarmed and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with Mr. Zhang?"

"That's right. If Mr. Zhang hadn't given us the medicine in time, we would have burned out our brains that time when we had a serious fever."

"Aren't we capable enough?!"

Yuan soldiers stationed at Tongcheng Gate also discovered the traces of Ren Zhigong and others.

Zhang Long, Xia Yi and others formed the first team to fight against traitors and took a fast boat, entered the Machang River under the moonlight, and headed towards the Tongcheng Gate first.

"Even if Ren Zhigong runs to the ends of the earth, we will still find him."

Xu Da replied.

Zhang Long and Xia Yi started talking.

"This man named Ren dares to scold our Mr. Zhang!"

Therefore, as Ren Zhigong said, Zhang Cheng's prestige among the rebels is indeed no less than that of Zhu Yuanzhang, so many people were filled with indignation after hearing that Zhang Cheng was beaten.

It happened that Manzihaya, the chief of the Yuan soldiers guarding this area, was also inspecting here and learned about it.

"That's right, damn it, do you know that Mr. Zhang is now the teacher in the hearts of all our brothers? If it weren't for Mr. Zhang, I would still be in a fucking state of confusion and don't know why I'm still rebelling!"

Ren Zhigong said.

"Ren Zhigong suddenly voted for Li Pusheng. When he was scolded by his superiors, Mr. Zhang and others, he became angry and scolded Mr. Zhang. I don't know the details."

Li Guocheng nodded, looked back and said:
"It looks like there's a boat behind us."

That night, under a bright moon, Ren Zhigong and Li Guocheng were also speeding on the Ma Chang River in a fast boat.

He Mu replied: "Yes, the white flag was raised, saying that he came from Chao County and asked for surrender."

"Before he dismissed the Prime Minister, he also wrote to us that he should change his attitude towards the bandits everywhere and recruit those who are willing to recruit first, so as to concentrate on dealing with large groups of bandits such as Xu Shouhui and Zhu Yuanzhang."

"So, let them enter the gate and bring them to see me!"

Manzihaya said.

He Mu raised his hands and said yes.

So the Yuan soldiers and navy came out to meet Ren Zhigong and others.

Zhang Long and others who were following Ren Zhigong had to hide temporarily when they saw this.

"Zhongcheng is willing to see us?"

Here.

Ren Zhigong was very happy when he learned about it.

"Yes!"

"Come with us."

So, Ren Zhigong saw Manzihaya soon, and immediately knelt down and said: "The sinner Ren Zhigong led his troops to surrender, and please ask the Prime Minister to take him in, and allow us to abandon the secret and surrender to the light!"

"It is very good that you can abandon darkness and turn to light."

"Tell me, where are you from?"

Manzihaya asked. Ren Zhigong picked up the blunderbuss in Li Guocheng's hand and held it in front of Manzihaya:
"The criminals had previously surrendered to Guo Zixing, the leader of the Dingyuan bandits, in order to save their family property. Later, they were framed by Guo Zixing's adopted son and adopted son-in-law Zhu Yuanzhang, and they escaped and surrendered to the Chaohu water bandits. I hereby present the muskets produced by the Chuzhou bandits as evidence."

Manzihaya's eyes were immediately attracted to the blunderbuss in front of him, and he stood up and looked at the blunderbuss, and asked: "Is this the blunderbuss that caused great losses to our officers and soldiers in Waliang Lei and Jiqing?"

"Back to Zhongcheng, yes!"

"Zhang Cheng originally ordered craftsmen to produce this gun in Chuzhou. Later, Zhang Cheng left Chuzhou and went to Waliang Lei. It was inconvenient to take all the craftsmen with him, so the entire factory fell into the hands of Guo Zixing. The sinner was the general manager of Guo Zixing's army at the time, so he was lucky Equipped with some blunderbuss."

"The guilty people had long wanted to surrender to the government and offer this blunderbuss, but the opportunity did not come. Fortunately, now that the Prime Minister has the good knowledge, we have the opportunity to repay the imperial court and show our loyalty!"

Ren Zhi replied with a flattering smile.

Manzihaya hurriedly took the gun, rubbed the barrel and said with a smile: "You have done a great job!"

"Come here, let Chen Ye first send this gun to the gathering by speedboat immediately. Let You Cheng know that he should find a master craftsman to imitate this gun as soon as possible!"

then.

Manzihaya stood up and gave orders, and said to Ren Zhigong: "Now I appoint you as the deputy marshal of the militia, and you will work with Chen Ye first for the time being."

"Xie Zhongcheng!"

Ren Zhigong was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

then.

Ren Zhigong said again: "Zhongcheng, I still have something to report."

"what's up?"

Manzihaya asked.

"Zhu Yuanzhang and other bandits have recruited the Chaohu water bandits and are preparing to cross the river to seize peace soon."

Ren Zhigong replied.

Manzihaya was shocked after hearing this: "Is this really happening?!"

"Absolutely true!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to join Zhongcheng at night."

Ren Zhigong replied.

Manzihaya nodded: "What a Zhu Yuanzhang. Although I knew that he must be determined to cross the river, I didn't expect that he would surrender to the Chaohu water bandits so quickly!"

"Zhongcheng, don't worry too much. The water in the Ma Chang River is shallow now, and his big boat can't pass to the river."

Ren Zhigong said.

Manzihaya said: "Having said that, there have been dark clouds recently, so it is inevitable that heavy rain will not help him."

……

"There are more and more dark clouds, and I hope it will rain for a few more days."

Zhu Yuanzhang also talked to Zhang Cheng the next day.

Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, as long as the water rises, we can reach the river directly, and we are not afraid of the obstacles of Manzihaya."

Zhang Chengzheng said this.

Xu Da suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang, Chang Yuchun, Xie Zaixing and Deng Youde have come to vote. They said that they saw the power of the Chaohu Army in military exercises, so they are willing to follow and cross the river together!"

"Chang Yuchun?"

"Xie Zaixing?"

"Deng Youde?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed after hearing this, looked at Zhang Cheng, and then said:

"Please come quickly!"

Deng Youde is Deng Yu. Historically, he was one of the six founding kings of the Ming Dynasty.

Subsequently.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhang Cheng: "This Chang Yuchun is from Liu Ju, and he is famous for his bravery! Xie Zaixing, who I knew before, is also a powerful person, and Deng Youde is also a hero. What a powerful horse army he has under his command. I He is also very good at fighting, and he was very close to our adoptive father."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help rubbing his hands as he spoke: "I didn't expect that they would come to vote for us!"

"This is better."

"The force crossing the river is stronger, but in this case, the mission of preaching and mobilizing in the past few days has become more difficult. After all, if we want to prevent these new possessors from robbing the people after crossing the river, we need to do more preaching and mobilization. The people brought by the Chaohu navy and Chang Yuchun and others must get to know each other before the army sets off!"

Zhang Cheng also said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Yes, we will order that this month's missionary and mobilization officials will receive double salaries. In addition, each person will be assigned two additional soldiers to prevent anyone from not cooperating with the missionary and mobilization."

Just as he was talking, Chang Yuchun, Xie Zaixing, and Deng Youde came to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng.

After Zhu Yuanzhang exchanged greetings with them for a while, he smiled and said: "We are very happy that you can come to us and are willing to cross the river with us, but we have to say ugly words ahead. We are crossing the river this time to establish a foundation. , so you are not allowed to mess around! People cannot be killed indiscriminately, property cannot be collected indiscriminately, and houses cannot be demolished indiscriminately. Everything must be regarded as the foundation for future development and growth."

"we know!"

"We happened to be eating in this area, and then we heard that a large number of soldiers and horses were gathering here, so we rushed here, and then we saw the military exercise you mentioned."

"Oh my god, it's so spectacular. So many people are shouting to cross the river. They must be well-trained soldiers and horses. We thought at that time, they are all rebels, why the hell is there such a big gap!"

Chang Yuchun started talking at this time.

"Yes!"

"The big blunderbuss on the warship are also long, powerful and fierce, but there are too few. Otherwise, we can hit them across the river now, and I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat them!"

Xie Zaixing followed up.

Deng Youde smiled slightly and walked over to Zhang Cheng, handing over his hand: "I guess you are Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Cheng nodded.

"I have heard of Mr. Mister's name for a long time!"

"Sir, please accept my prayers!"

Deng Youde cupped his fists and saluted.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly supported him and said with a smile: "Why is it so?"

"As it should be, sir, he started construction and cleared the fields, and fed hundreds of thousands of hungry people in his hometown. He performed a righteous deed that neither the Yuan court nor the rebel army wanted to do. How can we, the villagers, disrespect such a great virtue?!"

"It's not an exaggeration to build a temple or a temple!"

Deng Youde replied.
