64. Wuchang

Golden rice paddies with no end in sight.

The breeze blows, transforming into a fragrant rice wave.

In another month, these paddy fields will be ready to be harvested.

The sturdy and full ears of rice nodded slightly in the wind, as if to say, the spring and summer frost in the world has been obtained, please give the people a bowl of incense.

Zhu Wuyi was dressed in cloth, walking alone in the endless rice fields, his fingers gently brushing the ripe ears of rice, like a young man touching his beloved girl.

"Lao Li! It's a good harvest year! ”

Li Shanchang and the others on the ridge were laughing, "Entrusted to the lord Hongfu, God bless the prosperity of the Han Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Wu turned around with a smile, turned back along the trajectory he came, and said with a smile, "What does it have to do with me, the people are planted well, and God gives face!" ”

A good harvest is the greatest joy of mankind.

It represents abundance, warmth, and hope. There is nothing better than seeing hope in this age of human beings.

"We have set up more than 780 such tuntians!" Zhu Wu walked up to the ridge, wiped the dirt on his legs and said, "Settle the army and civilians, more than 200,000." This year, in addition to our tuntian, there are also people's fields under the rule of the Han Dynasty to have a bumper harvest. ”

Saying that, Zhu Wu was interested, and suddenly inspiration came, "The autumn harvest is full of rehmannia, the winter grain storage is full, the world lives in peace and contentment, and there is no hunger and cold!" ”

It's not a limerick, it's a mess of rhymes, and it's elegant.

But the ministers on the ridge are still like sycophants, "The lord is a good poem, a good poem!" ”

Zhu Wu saw Yang Xian in Wenchen, Lang Zhong in charge of Tuntian.

"Yang Xian, you did a great job!" Zhu Wuzheng said, "Agriculture is the foundation of the country, the hope of the people, and the future of the Han Dynasty!" In the country, the merit of Anbang, in the people, the grace of life. ”

"Don't dare!" Yang Xian was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

When the king of Han said this to his courtiers, he already had a very high evaluation. In time, these words will surely go down in history.

Looking at the golden scene all over the ground and the harvest is imminent, Zhu Wu is really happy in his heart.

When I came to this world, all I saw was killing, deceit, and scheming.

What I saw was corpses all over the field, people were struggling to make a living, and wild dogs were eating corpses.

It is rare to see such a scene of tranquility and abundance.

"I went to Mengyuan's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, regardless of the official land and people's land, we will collect three out of ten, and the rest is enough for the people to live a stable year!"

Zhu Wu smiled again, "Now we are still carrying out the population inventory, and when those hidden population reports come up, we can add a lot of tuntian to the big han!" ”

said and looked at Yang Xian, but he was in his early thirties, and his temples faintly had gray hair. With wind and frost on his face, I think that this year, I have worked hard for Tuntian.

Civil officials are utilitarian, but it is really up to them to govern the country.

"Am I being biased against the civil service? Isn't it a bit mean to treat them, not enough to be heartfelt? ”

Thinking of this, Zhu Wuzheng said to Yang Xian, "You have worked hard!" ”

"Minister!" Yang Xian choked up and said, "It's just dutiful." ”

The surrounding ministers were all moved, these courtiers, they were all interested in serving for the sake of wealth.

But why not, I want to meet the master, do a career for the country and the people, and leave a name in history!

"Yang Xian Tuntian has meritorious, and he is a servant of the household department." Zhu Wu groaned, "Give a mansion." As he spoke, he smiled at Yang Xian again, "You haven't been on the battlefield, you have no military merits, and you can't be knighted for the time being." I heard that your mother is alive, so report the old woman's name and give her old man a fate! ”

In the Han system, Wenchen cannot be knighted unless he has martial arts. Yang Xian is a traditional literati and has never been on the battlefield.

But today, Zhu Wu's reward was too rich, and everyone showed envious eyes.

Even if the house is over, Wenchen will not be too poor. But rewarding his mother's edict is indeed no less than being knighted.

In the future, if it is really a big Han sweeping the Quartet. Yang Xian's hometown will erect a memorial arch for his mother to commemorate and praise her for raising a good son.

What a glory this is, the military title can have several generations, and the archway can exist for a hundred years.

"Minister!" Yang Xian couldn't cry and knelt directly on the ground.

"Get up!" Zhu Wu personally helped him up, looked at the Wen Chen around him and said with a smile, "This big man said that it was my Zhu Wu's, but in fact, it was also everyone's." As long as our monarchs and ministers are united, this big man will only get better and better! ”

After speaking, Zhu Wuda walked forward with a smile.

Li Shanchang lagged behind slightly, looked at Zhu Wu's back, thoughtful.

"My lord, I'm already a qualified superior."

Everyone was walking on the ridge, and Zhu Yu ran over with a smile on the other side, waving a military newspaper in his hand.

"Dad, the third uncle knocked Jiujiang down!"

"Quick, bring it!" Zhu Wu said with a smile.

I thought it would take ten days and half a month, but I didn't expect Jiujiang to come down so quickly.

In fact, Jiujiang was a little lucky, the Yuan army had never seen white phosphorus, the Han army launched day and night, burning on the city wall, and the commander Tuhuan died in front of the battle.

"Yes, our army lost 1,008 people, recruited 20,000 strong Yuan troops, took a short rest in Jiujiang, and will go up the river to attack Qichun Huangzhou. White phosphorus is easy to use, there are not many in the army, and the fifth brother has a lot to do. Brother, Guo San! ”

Qichun, Huangzhou and other places were recovered by the Yuan army from Tianwan Xu Shouhui in the past two years, and the city was small and dilapidated.

"Xu Shouhui, they are all in Hanyang now?"

Faced with Zhu Wu's sudden clueless question, all the ministers hesitated, and only Hu Weiyong came out of the ranks.

"Last year, Xu Shouhui's troops conquered Hanyang and changed it to Taiping Mansion!"

Zhu Wu nodded, a few years ago, the imperial court pulled out the elite of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to besiege Xu Shouhui, and he was about to hide in the mountains.

But later, the Yuan army had to draw troops to fight Liu Futong, and his own side suddenly rose up, occupied Nanjing, defeated 600,000 people, and captured Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The Tianwan regime revived, reoccupied most of Hubei, and its tentacles vaguely extended to Jiangxi.

His original plan was to conquer Huangzhou and turn around and conquer the entire territory of Jiangxi.

But now it seems that since Xu Shouhui has arrived in Hanyang, how can he give up Wuchang and other places.

The Han River Plain has a recuperation, and it is also where the prosperity is, and this place cannot be given to him.

If Xu Shouhui dares to come, even he will be wiped out, and if he doesn't dare to come, he can only go to fight other places, or Hunan.

"Order, let Xiao San capture Qichun along the way, and after Huangzhou, defeat Wuchang!"

Saying that, Zhu Wu turned around and looked at these ministers, "Hu Weiyong, you go to Jiujiang to transfer envoys for the military, appease the locality, select and demote officials, you decide who you want to bring!" ”

A big pie fell from the sky, and Hu Weiyong was overjoyed, "Minister, obey the order!" ”

"Lord!" Li Shanchang said loudly, "Wuchang Hubei Xiongcheng, 60,000 troops plus soldiers, is it still a little less!" ”

"Not bad!" Zhu Wu nodded and said, "This battle is not only to conquer the city, but also to show the fangs of my big man." Saying that, thinking about it for a while, "After the Huaixi soldiers are eliminated, there are still more than 50,000 people?" ”

The Huaixi soldiers were the original Haozhou Army under Zhu Chongba, and after Zhu Wu was recruited, the old and young were eliminated and reorganized into a team of 50,000 people.

Those generals who are unwilling to go with Zhu Chongba, rich and noble, Zhu Wuzhen has given countless dollars, but they don't have to think about military power.

"Back to the lord, there are indeed 50,000." Li Shanchang replied.

"Send it to Xiao San, and select some scribes to accompany the army!" Zhu Wu said.

In this way, General Guo San had 60,000 under his command, plus 20,000, and 50,000, as well as sappers and civilians who accompanied the army. The number of troops can be called 200,000.

Li Shanchang couldn't help but be shocked, that was 200,000 people. If Wuchang and other places are really defeated, and the number of troops swells, wouldn't it be able to claim 300,000.

An army of 300,000?

Li Shanchang secretly gave Zhu Wu a look, but the other party seemed to be invisible.

There are also Jiangxi lands, Li Shanchang suddenly felt a big headache, finance, grain and grass, and baggage.

"Let Feng Guoyong, Feng Sheng will take 50,000 people to go, Feng Sheng can charge into battle, Feng Guoyong will appease the surrendered army and be a deputy for the third child!"

Feng family brothers!

Li Shanchang's thoughts instantly changed from finance to employment.

"With foresight, the Feng brothers avoided the three generals from being dominant in the army."

Thinking about it, he smiled again, "I really care about it, the sergeants of the army rely on the bank to lead the army's salary, the army relies on Nanjing to support logistics, and the generals in the army are all the henchmen of the King of Han, how can I say it!" ”

Thinking of this, he looked up at Zhu Wu, but he didn't expect Zhu Wu to be looking at him as well.

And there was a smile in Zhu Wu's eyes.

"It turns out that his little thoughts, King Han has guessed it!"

At this time, Zhu Yu was on the side again, and took out a small wooden box, "Dad, letter!" ”

Zhu Wu took it and stepped aside. Blue Mezzard, from Shandong.

Everyone didn't know why, and their eyes followed Zhu Wu. Only, Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu is the little commander around Zhu Wu, at a young age, he is the commander of the Han Palace, and his future is limitless.

Ordinary people have to smile when they see this villain.

Only Li Shanchang didn't give him a good face.

Because in his opinion, Zhu Yu is unruly. It's just the righteous son that the King of Han casually recognized, and it's not the kind that worships the ancestors three times and nine knocks.

Why was Zhu Wu able to rise rapidly under Guo Zixing's account. Because he is Guo Zixing's righteous son who worships his ancestors and preaches to the generals.

It can be said that if Guo Zixing is childless, Zhu Wu is the heir.

But Zhu Yu is just a servant-like godson, how can he scream one by one.

Li Shanchang shook his head, King Han still had to give birth to an heir early. Find an opportunity to talk to King Han another day, Zhu Yu, this child, it is better to change to the original surname.

The rules can't be messed up. Dignity and humility cannot be messed up.

"Zhu Chongba defeated Laizhou, and the soldiers came to Yidu!"

"Dong Shuxiao once trained for the Shandong regiment, has popular popularity, and reassures the people and the army. Organize the demotion of officials, give relief to the poor people, clear the property of the temple nobles, and set up tuntian. ”

"Zhu Chong set the tax on Tuntian for eight times, and collected two out of ten. Recruit Shandong refugees and release prisoners. ”

"Tsk!" Zhu Wu bit his tongue.

It's good to say otherwise, Lao Tzu's side is already Dezheng, and he hasn't skimmed the eight characters on his side, so he has two out of ten?
