Chapter forty-three

Tengzhou, because of his order to serve the king, Wang Xin, a ten thousand households in Tengzhou, had already taken away most of the soldiers and horses from Tengzhou.

All those who stayed were more than a thousand soldiers and some elderly, weak, sick and disabled.

Therefore, when Mao Zhengliang personally led tens of thousands of elite troops, including the One Thousand Bird Gun Army, came south. For Wang Ren, who stayed in Tengzhou, it was really like Mount Tai was pressing down on the top of the mountain.

Even though Mao Zhengliang had just led his troops to Juzhou, he learned that Mao Zhengliang was here to attack their Tengzhou troops, civil strife broke out.

Before Mao Zhengliang even saw Wang Ren's face, Li Shaoyou, a thousand households in Zoucheng, killed Wang Ren, the deputy of Wanhu of Tengzhou, and surrendered to the two cities of Tengzhou.

Therefore, Mao Zhengliang led his troops to fight for the first time and achieved the effect of defeating others without fighting.

Commanding tens of thousands of elite soldiers was like traveling, and the sword on his waist was not pulled out.

Therefore, after Mao Zhengliang led his troops to Tengzhou, he looked at Li Shaoyou, a thousand households in Zoucheng who were kneeling on the ground and seemed respectful, and could not help but shake his head and sigh.

‘I thought I could take this practical opportunity to test the power of the bird gun in the army, but I didn’t expect that the wait for me would be a surrender ceremony.’

So at this time, Mao Zhengliang, who won the battle, felt a little complicated.

As a result, Li Shaoyou, who was kneeling barely on the ground and holding two official seals, became a little bumpy and uneasy.

‘The young master sighed at this moment. Is it because he was dissatisfied with my killing of Wang Ren? If so, what can I do about it!’

His own wealth and life are now all in front of him. If Li Shaoyou is not worried at all at this time, it would be obviously a complete lie.

So Li Shaoyou, who was kneeling on the ground, really didn't even dare to breathe, and his forehead was sweating, and he was so nervous that he was extremely nervous.

Fortunately, Mao Zhengliang is not the emperor of Zhengde in the future. He cannot do the kind of thing that "because he pretends to be unable to succeed, he will rebel again by rebeling the defeated enemy."

Therefore, after coming to his senses, Mao Zhengliang helped Li Shaoyou up from the ground.

"General Li has really made great contributions to being able to abandon the darkness and turn things around in time, and to prevent the soldiers and civilians of Tengzhou from the suffering of war."

"The Marshal's words are so serious, but the words are so serious. Since I am the son of the Han Dynasty and Song Dynasty, killing such treacherous slander who colluded with the Tartars is a matter of duty. I will never dare to express my merits."

"Hey, what the general said. Merit is credit, and if you make contributions, you should naturally be rewarded."

As he said this, Mao Zhengliang looked at the two Tengzhou official seals in his hand, and then smiled and patted Li Shaoyou on the shoulder and said, "General Li, listen well. From today on, you will be the Thousand Houses of Tengzhou.

Do you understand, just like thousands of households in other states, who are in charge of military affairs in Tengzhou?"

"Yes, the last general understands. The last general, Marshal Xie, will be promoted and rewarded. The last general, will go through fire and water for the marshal, and will die after death!"

After saving his official position and wealth, Li Shaoyou hurriedly thanked him.

So what happened next was naturally a happy drama. Both sides enjoyed a sumptuous banquet together in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Then Mao Zhengliang, who had been in Tengzhou for two days and successfully completed the task, led his army to leave Tengzhou and return to Yidu City under Li Shaoyou's farewell.

But by chance, at this time, Chahan Timur, who had captured Bianliang City and achieved a brilliant victory, couldn't help but take his captives and carefully selected spoils to Yuandadu to show his power.

Therefore, Chahan Timur was given imperial robes and a belt of seven treasures. In addition to his official position in Pingzhang, Shaanxi Province, Emperor Yuan also allowed him to serve as the political affairs of Pingzhang, Henan Province, and also took charge of the affairs of the Henan Province Privy Council.

He commanded the troops and horses of Guanshan, Jinji, Jingxiang, Heluo, Jianghuai and other places. He made him become the first person at the end of the Yuan Dynasty in terms of his territory and his number of troops.

Therefore, in order to limit his power, after Chahan Timur left Dadu, Emperor Yuan immediately appointed the Secretary of the Central Secretariat Pingzhang Zhengshi Timur as the left prime minister of Shaanxi Province, and acted cheaply.

In this way, the central government can check and balance local governments.

However, this obviously has no effect.

However, with the successive victory on the battlefield, Chahan Timur's prestige in Guanshan, Heluo, Shanxi and Ji has long reached an unimaginable level for ordinary people.

Although Tiemur, who was from a high school, was appointed as the left prime minister of Shaanxi Province (equivalent to the top leader of Shaanxi government affairs), he was not taken seriously by those arrogant soldiers because he had no soldiers.

Even on the day he took office, he was attacked by a rebellious general.

The bombardment of the field made his mount frightened, rolled his saddle and fell off his horse, and was afraid to leave the mansion in panic.

In this way, Chahan Timur's government orders were no longer obstructed in Guanshan, Heluo, Shanxi and Ji.

Therefore, when the government orders were successfully implemented, Chahan Timur ordered the soldiers to repair vehicles, ships, soldiers and armor every day, ordered the soldiers to serve farmers and hoard food, train soldiers, and plan to regain Shandong in a large-scale manner.

But even so, it was obvious that Chahan Timur could not have launched a large-scale military service this year.

After all, this time, Chahan Timur mobilized 300,000 troops against the locust plague. Under natural disasters and man-made disasters, the wealth he had accumulated before had long been consumed.

And there is also a saying that "the troops and horses move first before they move their food and grass."

Now that there is no food in hand, Chahan Timur is naturally powerless even if he covets Shandong.

Therefore, when the winter came, Yuan Dadu raised food and grass from Zhang Shicheng, who had already surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, but on the other hand, he could not help strengthening the city. All the eleven gates of Yuan Dadu built a urn city.

In this way, Mao Zhengliang, who was far away on Yidu Road, rushed to cast a bird gun, but he couldn't help but come up with a plan to lose his house.

So on the tenth day of the October 10th, Mao Zhengliang couldn't help but say to his military advisor Zhang Side: "Sir, you know without saying it. As early as Zhang Shicheng occupied Gaoyou and forced Prime Minister Tuotuo to death, the canal transport on the Grand Canal was completely cut off.

Therefore, in order to raise food and grass for the densely populated Yuan Dadu, Emperor Yuan had to let Zhang Shicheng, the surrendered Yuan Taiwei, take the sea route from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to transport rice and grain to Yuan Dadu.

Emperor Yuan exchanged imperial wine and dragon clothes for grain, and every year he exchanged hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass from Zhang Shicheng.

Tsk, hundreds of thousands of stones. I slipped past our noses every year. Don’t you feel a pity?”

"This..." Zhang Side was stunned when he heard this, "Young Master, what do you mean, strengthen the Dengzhou Navy and let them intercept this batch of food and grass?"
