After Zhu Yuanzhang, who had stayed in Heyang for a while, settled all the matters, he shifted his attention to another city.

In terms of political influence and strategic location, this city far exceeds Heyang by several levels.

What's more important is that there is a dragon vein foundation here.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Yuanzhang took a fancy to this point and decided to abandon other cities and focus on this place.

This is Jiqing (now Nanjing).

Didn't that little Ming King Han Lin'er, who didn't understand anything, dare to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor because of the dragon veins in Bianliang, and why he dared to be so arrogant and powerful!

Even if he, a puppet, could capture Bianliang, why can't you, a general with so many great generals, capture Jiqing?

A tree lives with its bark, and a man lives with its breath;

For this tone, I will work hard!

In order to express this bad temper, the man had to kill Jiqing even if he risked his life.

I also want to show you, Han Lin'er, that the Bianliang you conquered is just a poor place where birds don't poop and sheep don't poop. The place you conquered is the real place of prosperity.

Here there are countless splendors, endless wealth and endless sleep with women.

There are high fortress walls here that can be used for defense, there are densely packed peasants here that people can rely on, there is a steady stream of grain and grass that can supply military supplies, and there are several dragon veins circling here that can control the wind and rain.

Compared with this Jijing Festival, your piece of shit Bianliang is not worth mentioning at all.

When I conquer Bianliang, I will let you know clearly that in my eyes, you Han Lin'er Mao is nothing, and your dragon and phoenix regime is even more nonsense.

You are just a bunch of rabble-rousers who drank bastard soup and got shit luck.

Man, this is the real orthodoxy.

Men are the true unifiers of the world.

The target was already there, but before the attack, there was a big problem in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

If this problem is not solved, let alone the Jijing Festival.

Even crossing the river is a problem.

Because there is a Yangtze River in front of Jiqing. If we don't find some boats to cross the river, there is no way to pass.

On this issue, Zhu Yuanzhang did encounter difficulties.

In this era of war and chaos, ordinary fishing people should be hiding in the ground and afraid to come out. Let alone fishing, they would have split the boats and burned them for firewood. Isn’t it nonsense to look for boats at this time?

!

If you chop wood to make a boat, all of your subordinates are ruthless men who kill without blinking an eye. If you ask them to build a boat, isn't it like forcing Zhang Fei to embroider?

Isn’t this just like nonsense!

What's more, even if they are forced to build a ship, they still have to have the materials and time!

That bullshit Han Lin'er has already taken the lead and became the emperor first. If he doesn't hurry up, the day lily will be cold!

Looking back at the people standing behind him, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed secretly in his heart.

Swimming is also a technical activity!

These people under me are all landlubbers. Let alone swimming, they would probably faint even if they were exposed to water!

If such an army were to go down the river, not to mention the difficulty and danger of forcibly crossing the Yangtze River, their legs and feet would be cramped halfway through the swim, and their hands and feet would become weak and unable to swim. Then there would really be a good show to watch.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses floated in groups on the sea, floating all over the river like floating pigs.

Such a scene, think about how spectacular it must be!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's hair stood on end and he broke into a cold sweat.

Even if we don’t want to celebrate this gathering, we can’t make fun of our brothers’ lives!

This joke cannot be made, nor can it be played!

But if we don’t win Jiqing, I won’t be reconciled!

what can we do about it?

Looking across the river, seeing the bustling lights of the festival right in front of him, the Yangtze River natural chasm was lying in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, but it was like a bone stuck in his throat, blocking Zhu Yuanzhang from advancing or retreating.

When he was scratching his head and couldn't come up with an idea, a man stood in front of him.

This person's name is: Yu Tonghai.

His identity is: the young master of Shuizhai.

The purpose of his trip was to bring a group of people to marry Zhu Yuanzhang.

The dowry gift: more than 10,000 people and more than 1,000 ships.

A water village is called a water army on the road, and a water bandit in the officialdom.

In layman's terms, they are pirates, which are the same type of work as Somali pirates today. Their main job is to rob passing ships.

What I usually do for a living is: making money on the road and buying and selling everything.

When this group of people came in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang probably didn't take it to heart. Compared with regular troops like himself, these water ducks who only know how to rob homes and houses are not much different from the rabble on the shore.

It's just that one swims in the water and the other walks on the road.

The places where they mix are different, and the division of labor is also different.

Now that they are here, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally cannot let them go easily. Since they have sincerely come to seek refuge with him, he has absolutely no reason to refuse. Besides, the guy in their hands is someone he has longed for day and night!

After finally catching someone who was taken advantage of, how could he let them escape from his grasp again?

After more than 10,000 people arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang accepted the order as usual, including people and boats.

The boat is available.

Everyone is here.

The biggest problem has been solved, and the troops, horses, money and food have been prepared long ago, so there is no need to hesitate anymore.

Get on board and send troops.

Go straight to Jinling (Jiqing)!

The generals who have stayed in Heyang for long enough and are almost covered in smelly moldy hair have long heard that beauties come out of Jinling. The story of Jinling’s Thirteen Hairpins still seems to be lingering in their ears. Think of all the girls who are as beautiful as flowers and jade.

The scene of standing in front of everyone, when the dewy flower girls exposed their snow-white and slender thighs, and bloomed with bright smiles like flowers. In the military camp, only men were men, and even the fleas were male.

When the talented and beautiful woman seemed to be waving to them, like hungry wolves, they had already worked hard and couldn't wait to conquer Jinling.

Jinling, sir, am I here?

Beauty, wait for me!

When everyone with blue eyes and red faces was eager to try, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and expressed his objections.

If we want to capture Jinling, we must pass through Quarry (today's Ma'an, Anhui). If we quarry more and more without attacking, and go straight to Jinling, Jinling will be heavily guarded, and we will never be able to capture it in a short time. At this time, if

If the quarrying army attacks from behind, it will attack our rear and cut off our retreat. When the time comes, we will be attacked from the front and from both sides, and we will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, if you want to successfully capture Jinling, you must first capture Quarry.

I don’t know why, but quarrying can be regarded as the first big battle after Guo Zixing’s death. Logically speaking, as the general marshal and right general, Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou should express their stance, or at least express their own opinions.

But when the history books talked about this period, they directly excluded Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou, as if there were no two people at all.

When the military order to attack Caishi was issued, there was no sound from Guo and Zhang at all, and neither of them had anything to say.

You must know that although Guo Zixing died, according to the saying that sons inherit their father's legacy, Guo Tianxu, Guo Zixing's son, should become the commander-in-chief of the entire army. Although Zhang Tianyou is not his son, he is still ranked second in the army.

The characters second only to Guo Tianxu, but these two characters did not seem to make any sound, as if they had disappeared from the world.

At this point I have no choice but to make wild guesses.

I estimate that these two people should have been under house arrest by Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, and they must have at least been deprived of military power. After all, since the death of Guo Zixing, his son and brother-in-law have never been able to do anything.

After Guo Zixing raised his eyebrows, the command of this army returned to Zhu Yuanzhang's hands again, and was firmly controlled by him.

At this time, with Guo Zixing's experience still in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang will never make the same mistake again and support Guo Tianxu or Zhang Tianyou as puppets again. He will definitely not let others sit on his head again.

It is impossible for him to place another boss-like person above him.

This stupid behavior, which is like planting a sword of Damocles, is enough once and will never happen again.

From now on, this army will be named Zhu.

His surname will only be Zhu.

In this army, Zhu Yuanzhang became the real actual controller.

Others are waiting, don’t even think about getting involved!

As the commander-in-chief of the army and the absolute leader in the army, Zhu Yuanzhang's words mean that the combat mission has been determined.

Now that the mission has been clarified, there is nothing more to say.

let's start.

Capture the quarry.
