With Fu Shou assassinated, Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jinling.

When Zhu Yuanzhang strode into Jinling with his head held high, all the soldiers and horses that had originally submitted to the rule of the Yuan Dynasty turned around and submitted to Zhu Yuanzhang's sect.

History books say that there were more than 500,000 people who surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang this time.

I think there is a lot of water in it, and this number is unbelievable.

Because in Zhu Yuanzhang's subsequent battles, the actual number of troops that could be mobilized did not increase significantly. If it is really said that there are 500,000 troops, then most of them are navy troops, who are just looking for work.

Don’t come into contact with the wallflowers who are just filling up the numbers.

These troops could not play much role at all. What was really useful was the group of soldiers who had followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the rebellion from the beginning.

And these guys who defected before the battle were just a bunch of bastards.

A bunch of scumbags who fall into the wind.

They will never really surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang's disciples.

They will only report one purpose, that is, whoever has a big head, a thick neck, a lot of gold, and a hard pole, they will obey whose command.

If one day another bastard appears who is more powerful and more desperate than the bastard in front of them, they will not hesitate to rebel against the revolution again, and they will not even hesitate to sacrifice the former bastard in front of them while rebelling.

The master who bowed his head for just one second came with such a knife.

This kind of thing is really not difficult for them.

However, there are indeed several available characters here, and three people in particular are particularly important.

The names of these three people are: Kang Maocai, Feng Guoyong (brother of General Feng Guosheng), and Yang Xian.

It can be said that these three people played a crucial role in Zhu Yuanzhang's subsequent war with Chen Youliang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jinling, facing the surrendering soldiers and civilians from all over, in order to win over people and consolidate his political power, Zhu Yuanzhang said something righteous, at least in appearance: Folks, friends

Hey, young and old, the regime under the Yuan Dynasty was in ruins, and the area under the control of the Yuan army was at war. You are living in dire straits and suffering, and you don't even have the ability to protect yourself in such a crisis.

It was also at this time that I led my personal guards here. The main purpose is to eliminate violence for you and eliminate harm for the people. I have absolutely no intention of harming you.

As for you, you are still doing whatever you are supposed to do, feeding the sheep when you should, tending the chickens when you should, and letting the donkeys go when you should. Just pretend that we, a group of people, don't exist.

Of course, if anyone knows who is a sage, then you might as well tell me and I will invite him to join my brother and me in making great achievements. If anyone else knows who the bastard is, he is the kind of person who enjoys bullying the people.

You bastard who is proud of squeezing the common people, why not tell us that idleness is idle anyway. As the person sent by God to save you from fire and water, I will vent your bad breath for you, no matter whether he is the king of heaven or the person wearing a triangle on his head.

You scumbag, I have dealt with him for you.

After saying such words, the soldiers and civilians who were originally submissive seemed to feel the man's goodwill and realize his huge mind, so they happily treated him and his troops.

.

Looking at the group of joyful and joyful people in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang, who seemed to be upright on the surface, must have felt happy in his heart.

This is the result he wants, this is the atmosphere he wants to create.

Only those who win the hearts and minds of the people can win the world.

Since Heyang, a big fart place, cannot be owned by me, I am allowed to acquire Jinling, the capital of ancient emperors.

Unable to resist the kindness, he naturally accepted it happily.

After appeasing the people, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the coach, gave a mammoth speech and talked a lot of nonsense that he didn't even know he said. Anyway, it was just words of coaxing, deception, threats and blackmail, and then he added the following words.

All minor matters were left to his subordinates to handle, while he himself led General Xu Da to climb the Jinling City Wall.

Before today, as landlubbers, they could only watch the grand spectacle of Jinling from a distance, but from now on, as a poor peasant turned landlord, he will be the real owner of this ancient city from now on.

Standing on the high city wall, overlooking the extremely luxurious scene in front of me, in order to prevent the tall and powerful guy in front of me, who has flowers in his eyes, but is as dark as a yaksha, from being satisfied with the status quo, and to encourage him to continue to move forward and expand.

The ambition of power, as a former fellow countryman, has been growing. Later, his comrade-in-arms, and now his subordinate, as the general Xu Da, who is less than one person in the army and more than ten thousand people, said something else: Jinling is so

A solid city. As the natural moat of the Yangtze River in the ancient empire, we have captured such a dangerous city today. What else can make it difficult for us to survive?

As long as we all work together, what achievements can we not create?

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just delivered a speech, was still in a state of excitement, his excitement was far from calmed down, and his blood was still slightly boiling. After hearing Xu Da's flattery-like conversation, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more excited and said:

"It is definitely not an accident that a man can achieve great things. The fact that we can conquer Jinling today is an arrangement given to us by God." ("Ming Dynasty Record": Successful establishment of a career is not an accident. It is almost a gift from heaven.)

When I read this sentence, I felt that Zhu Yuanzhang had not finished what he said, and his real intention should be hidden in the unsaid words that followed.

The capture of Jinling today is an arrangement given to us by God. Since God is helping us, what should we have to hesitate?

The opportunity cannot be lost and will never come back. To overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, I will rebel. To destroy the old and establish a new one, I will do it.

His words should also be a signal to those people who don’t know where to go in the future: Men, ladies, brothers, sisters, compatriots, men are sent by the heaven to manage you, you all come and submit to me, I am here

True orthodoxy, I am the true emperor.

You guys have plenty of food, clothing, and rides here, and you have endless glory and wealth in your hands. Only if you surrender to us can you see a beautiful tomorrow.

At the same time, he seemed to be sending a signal to those unruly people who did not submit to his rule: You bastards who still dare not to submit to me, today I am here to conquer you on behalf of the King of Heaven. If you are interested, please hurry up.

Sir, I surrender. Seeing that you guys are quite human-like in appearance, at least better looking than me, I will spare you first.

If you know that I am here and still insist on rebelling, then I can only feel sorry for you.

You are also offended. On behalf of Heaven, on behalf of Heaven**, I will shoot you.

You may be the king and hegemon in the local area, but what are my soldiers and horses? My soldiers and horses are heaven's soldiers and heaven's generals. My soldiers and horses are heaven's heroes. I lead God's will to conquer you.

, in front of my heavenly soldiers and generals, you guys who only know how to wield swords and guns are nothing more than child's play, just a group of ostentatious house games.

If you dare to make any mistakes, I will kill you, you idiots.

If you dare to be presumptuous, I will cook you bastards.

It was under this condition that his head was hot, his eyes were dizzy, and his elm-branched head was instantly short-circuited, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that the gathering be celebrated as: Yingtian Mansion (a mansion that complied with the will of the Celestial Empire).

He also appointed Liao Yong'an as the marshal of the army and Zhao Zhong as the deputy marshal to guard the most important city in front of Yingtian Mansion: Taiping.

In order to suppress the hard-won Jinling, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had not practiced Sun Monkey's versatile cloning skills, had no choice but to stay and personally guard Jinling.

Then Xu Da was assigned as the commander-in-chief to capture Zhenjiang.

When everyone was about to leave for the expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the commander-in-chief of the army, called everyone together.

As the supreme commander, Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of everyone. He looked at the group of heroes fighting on one side and looked at this group of people who were like wild horses that could not be pulled back if they were let out. Zhu Yuanzhang did not say anything about those people who wanted to win over them.

The common people deceive the public with nonsense that is not nutritious.

In front of everyone, he showed his unique character as a coach. He detailed everyone's mistakes, listed various personal mistakes, rebuked them, and seemed to have set up a tiger bench and pepper spray in the backyard, ready to

Punish after rebuke.

At this time, Li Shanchang, a civil servant, stood up. Li Shanchang, who was good at playing tricks on others, gave full play to his skills as a civil servant, pleading with Zhu Yuanzhang like mud.

If you get beaten, you will lose a man's face, and you will kill many men. They are all commanders in the army. If they get beaten today, how can they establish their prestige in front of their subordinates in the future?

After a lot of resistance, everyone was spared punishment.

It is the fault of a father who fails to teach, and it is the fault of a son who is not strict with his teacher.

Looking at the group of unsatisfactory things in front of him, looking at these guys with oily hair and pink faces who were much better looking than himself, Zhu Yuanzhang finally said something to shock everyone after his punishment failed.

The general meaning is: I have a little black book here, which records the mistakes of each of you. Today I will not take it out and list your feats one by one. If you can be strict with yourself from now on and change your mind.

If so, I can forget about past mistakes.

But if you still can't control your morals after going out this time, and you lose face and status to me, then I can only reluctantly part ways, and we will settle the old and new debts together.

Another point, after you go out today, you are not only representing yourselves, everything you do represents my face and the face of all of us, so you must not only be strict with yourself, but also control your subordinates.

, not many of your guys are good people. If they don't obey your restraints, then I will pull them out and kill them. If anyone has the guts to indulge his subordinates in their misbehavior, I will know about it.

, then I will kill you.

If you don't believe it, let's try it.

It depends on whether your neck is tough or my knife is tough.

At this time, everyone finally reacted. They looked up at the man with a pig-kidney face in front of them, with a timid light shining in his dark and bright eyes.

Mom, you know everything I did with you in the past, and you are monitoring every move I make.

You are too unreasonable. Where is the most fundamental trust between people?

What kind of harmony should there be between people?

Thinking that there is always a pair of dark eyes watching me around me, and that everything I do every day is seen and remembered in my heart, this kind of life under surveillance is really as painful as needle felting.

After I go back today, I will first find out this undercover agent who is lurking around me.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to live this life.

Mom, just do this and kill this spy when you get back.
