In the twenty-seventh year of Zheng, Pingjiang was broken by Zhu Yuanzhang's army, and was captured to Yingtianfu, and after being captured by Zhu Yuanzhang, because he did not surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang, he was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang and crushed into powder.

On the fourth day of the first month of the twenty-eighth year of Zheng, Zhu Yuanzhang was proclaimed emperor in Yingtian, the founding name was Ming, and the year name was Hongwu. Yingtian is "Nanjing" and Kaifeng is "Beijing". In the leap July of the same year, the general Xu Da led a firearms battalion of 4,000 people to attack Dadu, and the capital was broken in less than half a month.

In the first year of Hongwu, the generals of Dafeng were princes. At the beginning, he was crowned six dukes, among which six generals and one minister were the founding fathers. They are: Han Gong Li Shanchang, Wei Guogong Xu Da, Zheng Guogong Chang Yuchun, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Wei Guogong Deng Yu.

And Shang Yu led the army to attack Quanzhou Mansion at this time, he was accompanied by his newlywed wife Xiang Lan'er, after many years of ups and downs, Shang Yu and Xiang Lan'er marriage is also inevitable, of course, Xiang Lan'er should be Shang Yu's unknown generations of apprentices, but Xiang Lan'er is only a registered disciple, and was stripped off the door wall by Liu Ji, not an iron-shirted man, and the world does not know, plus Shang Mei's family hopes that they will get married, so Shang Yu married Xiang Lan'er in desperation.

After several years of conquest, Shang Yu has continuously improved his means of training secret soldiers, and now the number of secret soldiers has reached more than 800 people, and the distribution range is extremely wide, all of which are secretly arranged to the local official and military systems.

And Zhu Yuanzhang instructed Shang Yu to establish an organization called Jinyi Weidi, which made Shang Yu extremely disgusted, because it was an institution used to closely monitor officials and generals in various places, and its power was that the three princes and six secretaries could also investigate and arrest at any time, and low-level officials could even cut first and then play, so Shang Yu completely entrusted the matter of transforming the secret soldiers into Jinyi Weidi to Zhao Qing, and Shang Yu asked for orders to go south to attack Quanzhou Mansion, which was still in the hands of Persian volunteers.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to grant Shang Yu an important official position at this time, but when he saw that Shang Yu insisted on going north, he was no longer reluctant, but only asked him to rebuild Yingtian Nanjing New City when he returned.

Shang Yu naturally agreed to this. In return, the Shangmeng received a preferential treatment of 30% of the official tax reduction of waterways in the thirteen northern and southern provinces for a period of ten years, as compensation for the Shangmeng's repeated support of the Chuzhou rebels who were weak at that time with huge amounts of silver.

"Lan'er, Quanzhou City has been restored, and when I help Long Live to finish the construction of the main city of Nanjing, I will resign in this Quanzhou port to prepare to build a ship to go to sea, Shizun is currently trading with Goryeo in the north, in order to restrain the revival of the Jurchen tribe in the north, and the Eagle clan left in Lai'an County was also repatriated to the north, and now more than 20,000 soldiers and horses have gathered to form a barrier between my Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan. Shang Yu stood outside the Quanzhou Mansion Thornton Harbor and looked at the dock that was already a little dilapidated, and said with emotion.

The Quanzhou Rebellion has only just ended, and the wharf of the largest port in the Central Plains now does not even have a decent ocean-going ship, let alone a cargo ship from Fanbang, and the population of Quanzhou City has plummeted to 400,000 people, and the life of the people in the city is completely different from when Shang Yu was young.

"Xianggong, Lan'er will naturally try her best to help you, but why do you want to repair the ship and go to sea, if you are an official in the court, wouldn't it be better to show what you have learned? Also, why are you so afraid of a small child? That Zhu Di is only twelve or thirteen now, what are you afraid of him for? Xiang Lan'er raised a great question when she spoke.

"Lan'er, this Zhu Di is the smartest of the princes, although he is still young, but in the minds of the generals of the court, he is like the incarnation of Banzai, and he is ruthless by nature, now Banzai is still alive, the power of my Shang Alliance is too big, now he can't help us, but in the future, he will inevitably split the Shang Alliance like the emperors of all dynasties, so that he will feel safe, so I want to establish maritime trade, and the other thing is to personally guard the sea frontier, at this time there are dozens of pirates on the sea, and all states have rarely entered the Central Plains in recent years because of this, And the Central Plains cargo could not be shipped out. ”

"Doing this, not only can you contribute to my Daming country, but also avoid Brother Zhu, hey! I'm saying the wrong thing again, so that I can get out of the power vortex, and I think that soon Banzai will use secret soldiers to start eliminating the people who threaten the stability of the country one by one. As he spoke, Shang Yu turned his face and looked around, the closest to him was Mu Thirteen, but it was also a few feet away.

"Xianggong, it's all your fault that you and Li Shanchang will completely grant the emperor's art to Banzai, otherwise he wouldn't have become so cold, maybe you left the right place, this Quanzhou Mansion is my favorite city in my life, I didn't expect it to become so dilapidated now, no business, this big port seems to be the time to rejuvenate the moment, with the power of our business alliance will be able to regather tens of thousands of craftsmen within a few years, from the land of Shanxi to attract hungry people, then you can solve the shortage of manpower, and after the construction of the city you will take over the mother, We're also reunited as a family. Xiang Lan'er said after gently stroking away the broken hair on her forehead in the sea breeze.

"A family reunion? From the time of escorting Xiao Wan out of Quanzhou Mansion, the road learned that his mother had an accident at sea, and Xiao Wan vowed to become husband and wife, and then reunited with his mother, the news of his father's death came, and Xiao Wan was engaged to be a day of enmity and separation, you were a noble county lord, but I didn't expect to be a person in my business alliance, and made great contributions, you were ordered by your mother to marry me, but you were wronged by you! How could I have expected to personally lead an army to recover the land where I was born? Shang Yu was sighing at the wonder of this world, but he couldn't help but have Lu Wan's tearful pretty face in his heart.

"You still can't forget Xiao Wan? At this time, she has already started a sect in Emei Mountain, and she is completely a generation of Dao Gaoni, although she has occasional friction with Zhang Sanfeng's sect, but it is said that she can't help Zhang Sanfeng at all, and she is not like her mother Li Yanhong will kill Zhang Sanfeng's disciples indiscriminately, I think she will never be able to take revenge, and she will never forgive you. Why are you obsessed with her? How much more do I have your child in my belly. When Xiang Lan'er said this, she glared at Shang Yu, although she knew how to answer the courtesy, how could she, as a wife, not be jealous that her man had another woman in his heart?

"What? Are you pregnant? Oh my God, this is a great thing, and my mother has been looking forward to this day for several years of marriage. The image of Lu Wan that had just floated disappeared in front of Shang Yu's eyes in an instant, and Shang Yu immediately grabbed Xiang Lan'er's wrist vein and began to investigate.

"Xianggong, what are you doing here? It is not polite to act in the daylight. Xiang Lan'er immediately said with a flushed face.

"Just now I touched your pulse, and it was actually the sound of drums. If my master taught me the right technique of diagnosing the pulse, it should be the dragon and phoenix twins, Lan'er, this matter is wonderful! As he spoke, Shang Yu already had a smile on his face.
