Soon after, Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops to cross the Yangtze River to the south, conquered Taiping, and changed Taiping Road to Taiping Mansion. In accordance with Han Lin'er's order, the Marshal Mansion of the Taiping Xingguo Wing was placed, and the generals were appointed as generalissimos.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Li Shanchang to be the capital of the Marshal's Mansion, in charge of all the power of the Taiping Mansion, and also left several generals to lead the troops and horses to strengthen the defense.

The two counties of Tianchang and Xuyi in the north were captured by Xu Da and Chang Yuchun respectively, which made the Yuan army very nervous, and Zhang Shicheng suddenly surrendered to the Yuan court after capturing several cities in the same year, and was actually canonized by the Yuan court as "Tai Lieutenant", which made the leaders of the righteous army in the world despised.

In March of the following year, Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to the front line to supervise the army and attack Jiqing Road.

And Zhang Tian and Guo Tianxu led a group of men and horses to the front line to try to occupy the military merits, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to answer and the two led the soldiers and horses to meet with the general Chen Yexian, Guo Tianxu was directly killed by the general Chen Yexian who had already opposed it that night, Zhang Tian was drunk and carried into Jiqing Mansion, so far the Guo family army existed in name only, although Guo Tianxu still has two younger brothers, but his people are not as good as brothers, how can the generals be convinced?

Two days later, Chen Yexian's head was killed by young soldiers from the area of Gexian Township in Lishui and sent to Zhu Yuanzhang's big tent.

"Brother Xian, this Chen Yexian is really a big rebellion, if it weren't for the marshal agreeing to marshal Du and the right deputy marshal to go and join forces with them. How could our army lose two marshals, the so-called mourning soldiers will win! Our army should take the two marshals Dai Xiao as revenge for attacking the city and swear to conquer Jiqing, so as to comfort the spirits of the two marshals in the sky. In the big tent, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Shang Yu who was beside him with tears in his eyes.

This series of clever plans not only made Chen Yexian, who had long been against him, kill Zhu Yuanzhang's two top bosses who he already felt was very annoying, but also caused Chen Yexian to exhaust the team of Guo Jiajun brought by Zhang Tian and Guo Tianxu, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not bear the infamy at all, this is a plan by Shang Yu, who hated Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tian to the bone, but Zhu Yuanzhang happily adopted it after hearing it.

"Marshal Wing should focus on the soldiers' wars, not be overly sad, Shang Yu is willing to go out with the crossbow formation to help command, please give the marshal an order!" At this time, Shang Yu grew much taller, and the beard in front of his lips was more aggravated, but he had left Quanzhou for more than a year, and Shang Yu was already Zhu Yuanzhang's closest strategist except for Li Shanchang at this time, and Tang He often praised Shang Yu's strategy when he feinted to attack Jiqing, so that the 10,000 soldiers in front of him became veterans from recruits within a year.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a hint of relief, the ballista in Shang Yu's hand will be a strange soldier to capture the strong city of Jiqing, but Shang Yu has no credit, and is only willing to try to operate the Jiqing Mansion to build the city afterwards, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang have some doubts about Shang Yu, and the Shang Alliance continues to transport a large number of property to the Chuzhou army, and does not pay attention to Liu Futong, who is the self-proclaimed prime minister, and is obviously optimistic about the Chuzhou Red Turban Army.

The young secret soldiers have already lurked into the towns and villages inside Jiqing Mansion, and there are constantly reports from the soldiers and horses of the Yuan army to the city, and this moment is the best time to lead the soldiers and horses to conquer Jiqing Mansion.

"Good! The generals listened to the order, and Hu Dahai led 5,000 sailors to go up the river by boat to make a feint attack from the waterway, and only when the sluice gates were opened by land could they charge. General Xu Da led 2,000 Wuxian archers and 10,000 infantry to attack the city with 2,000 men, but to minimize casualties. ”

"Shang Yu listened to the order and ordered you to lead the crossbow battalion to follow General Xu and advance slowly, and the rest of the generals waited on the flanks for the commander's military order to act, there must be no mistake!" Zhu Yuanzhang's deep voice at this time shook the big tent so loudly that the generals responded loudly.

"By the order of the marshal!" Shang Yu also retreated from Zhu Yuanzhang's side, came to the place where the generals were standing, and knelt on the ground to accept the arrows ordered by the heralds.

It's almost time to siege the city, and the power of the ballista is very clear to Shang Yu, but after this kind of ballista attacks Jiqing Mansion, it is likely that it will be thrown into the treasury by Zhu Yuanzhang and never be reused, Shang Yu sighed secretly in his heart.

With what he learned in his heart, if he improved it on this basis, he would be able to make a sharper siege artillery, but Zhu Yuanzhang instructed him to study and kill a single soldier's firearms, which Shang Yu was unwilling to do, but Zhu Yuanzhang persuaded him with the righteousness of the world, and Shang Yu had to agree with Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions.

Siege firearms can capture cities, but shooting a lone soldier with firearms Shang Yu is very worried, which will not only waste a lot of money, but also make the war more cruel, and the battle mode in the world may change at that time.

Shang Yu did not know that at this time, there were some royal families of the principality in the west who were actively exploring the method of making firearms in the war-torn land of China, so they were building warships at a cost of huge sums of money compared to the principality.

This is a historical event that Shang Yu must directly face in the future, and because of his merits, he will be invincible and large-scale in the future Huaxia Maritime Frontier for hundreds of years, only the cockroach-like Dahe Wokou will continue to infest our Huaxia Maritime Frontier in small groups.

The battle of Jiqingfu took three days, Shang Yu's ballista blasted a crack in the city wall, and the righteous army rushed into the city like a tide.

When the rebel army opened the sluice gate in the city, Hu Dahai led the navy into the city to block the waterway, the Yuan army was completely panicked, but these Yuan troops actually stood in the streets and alleys by hundreds of households, and began a street battle that lasted for several days.

The Puhua Timur who lived in the inner city actually put on civilian clothes and wanted to escape after three days of blockade of the inner city, but was recognized by several Han women in the city who passed by, and his head was cut off and sent to Zhu Yuanzhang's tent, and his body was stacked into meat sauce by the soldiers of the righteous army, and was eaten by the dogs raised by the Han people in the city.

After seeing the head of Puhua Timur, the soldiers guarding the inner city hurried to the Shuai Hall to verify it, and learned that the main general had indeed turned his back on the whole army and fled and was already dead, so they opened the inner city in despair and surrendered.

"Brother Xian, do you think that Zhang Shicheng is very interesting? Tens of thousands of loads of grain were transported from the waterway to be sent to Puhua Timur! As a result, Ben Shuai directly detained all the people and boats. Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the head of Jiqing Mansion and said with a smile to Shang Yu beside him.

"Big brother, there is no one here, I want to ask, do you intend to do something to Zhang Shicheng in the near future?" Shang Yu asked with a slight surprise.

"Brother Xian, it's not time yet, it's not too late for me to change the name of Jiqing Mansion to Yingtianfu and then attack him, this guy has shouted several times to ask for the life of the people of the world but has surrendered to the Yuan Court twice and three times, if I don't get rid of him, I am really uneasy, but this thief is currently powerful, our army has just captured Jiqing, and the whole army needs to rest!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a sigh.

The fighting in the city was not completely over, but it had already begun to clean up the battlefield, and only a few Mengyuan soldiers who were hiding in the houses jumped out and tried to kill one or two volunteer soldiers, only to be slashed to death immediately.

20,000 Mengyuan iron cavalry soldiers in Jiangnan were all slaughtered, and tens of thousands of Han militiamen all joined the Chengyi Army.
