An hour later, the army entered Jinling City, began to suppress the city to take the opportunity to make trouble, Gao Cheng's army after strict training, after entering the city, although it can not be said that the autumn did not commit any crimes, but compared with the rampant Yuan soldiers, it can be called a benevolent and righteous army.

The news of the Ming army's attack on Jinling quickly spread to the south of the Yangtze River, and after hearing the news, many families and scholars moved in their hearts and began to inquire about the information of the Ming army and Gao Cheng.

"The army is coming into the city...... This is the person who does great things!"

"Ming Sect Leader Gao Cheng is only in his twenties now, and it only took more than half a year to train nearly 100,000 elite soldiers, attacking cities and pulling out villages, such a person can be compared to Tang Taizong!"

"Drive out the Tartars and restore the Central Plains, this banner can be worth 100,000 troops!"

There are many scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, these people live in seclusion in various places, always observing the general trend of the world, when the Ming Sect raised troops in Huzhou, they paid attention to Gao Cheng. Secretly talking.

When the Mingjiao attacked Jinling, these people were suddenly shocked and could no longer sit still, and most of them rushed towards Jinling. Among them are Li Shanchang and Zhu Sheng.

When Gao Cheng heard that the two were coming, he immediately greeted them in person, and after talking with the two, he accepted Zhu Sheng's suggestion of "calling Wang Liye and attacking Jiangnan quickly".

is different from Zhu Yuanzhang's situation at the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang's power in the original timeline is the weakest among the heroes in Jiangnan, and if he dares to be the king, he will inevitably be hit by Meng Yuan's key attack. Other princes will also fall into the trap. Patience must be built up. That's why there is a strategy of accumulating grain, building a high wall, and slowly becoming king.

At this time, the situation in Jiangnan was dominated by the Mingjiao family. After the destruction of the Haisha Gang, Gao Cheng sat on the benefits of sea salt, and Huzhou and Changzhou were famous fish and rice towns, with plenty of grain and grass.

In this case, it is necessary to first set up the king's name, order the heroes of the world, and then quickly sweep the south of the Yangtze River and stabilize the rear before the Mengyuan army arrives from the Central Plains.

Zhu Shengnai is a strategist who is old and seeks the country, and Li Shanchang is a top talent who combs internal affairs, Gao Cheng asks the two for advice every day, and feels that he has gained a lot, and every time Zhu Sheng talks to him, he will explain some Confucian classics.

Both of them are orthodox Confucian scholars, although they took refuge in Gao Cheng, but they are very repulsive to the teachings of Mingjiao, so when they are discussing with Gao Cheng, they continue to mix various classics into them, mixed with their own private goods, and want Gao Cheng to save him from the foreign way.

Gao Cheng smiled in his heart, but listening to them explain various Confucian classics, he could feel that his internal affairs ability was rising, and it was very difficult to guard the city and pacify the place, but with the continuous listening and learning, many things became handy.

......

A month later, Gao Cheng proclaimed himself King of Wu, took Jinling as the capital, called the king system, and took Chang Yuchun as the general, commanding an army of 10,000 and the water army of King Yin Ye along the river, conquering Wuhu and Chizhou, and marching to Anqing. And Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, and Feng Guoyong led their troops south to Suzhou and Jiaxing respectively!

Mingjiao is one of the most powerful forces in the world, second only to the Mengyuan court, and now the power has erupted, extremely terrifying, Gao Cheng after occupying Jinling, he sat in the city, and sent generals everywhere to attack the city and plunder the land. There is quite a general trend that sweeps the south of the Yangtze River.

Jinling is the place of hegemony, the capital of several dynasties, in the hearts of scholars can be compared with Luoyang and Chang'an, after a force occupies Jinling, even if there is only this city, it will be looked at differently by those who know the general trend.

In the original timeline, Zhu Yuanzhang's power was originally very small, but with the possibility of troops entering Jinling, he could easily recruit many strategists, and famous ministers and generals came to vote one after another.

And Gao Cheng has now conquered Jinling, and also has more than a dozen cities such as Huzhou and Changzhou, and there are more heroes and scribes who have come to take refuge. There are even top strategists and generals like Liu Ji and Hu Dahai.

Gao Cheng sat in King Wu's mansion every day, and could feel the power of fate swarming at every moment, and the fate points continued to rise, three thousand, five thousand, and finally one hundred and twenty thousand!

Two months later, Chang Yuchun conquered Anqing, Lan Yu, Feng Sheng, Feng Guoyong, Hu Dahai and others joined forces to conquer Suzhou and Hangzhou, and all took the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

When Meng Yuan gathered 500,000 troops and came to Yangzhou, the essence of Jiangnan had all been in Gao Cheng's hands, and at the same time, his fate points had also broken through the 300,000 mark!

this day. Gao Cheng was wearing a python robe and came to the backyard of the palace to swallow the purple qi of the rising sun. When he refined the Chaoyang purple qi, his whole body was full of purple qi, and all the qi around him turned purple, and the true qi in the dantian was extremely condensed. Purple gas rises. sets him off like a fairy.

"Zixia Gong has finally cultivated to the third peak, and it is only half a step away from reaching the fourth level of refining into innate purple qi!"

Gao Cheng sighed in his heart, these days when dealing with military affairs, he did not forget to cultivate, swallowing the purple qi of the rising sun every morning, and cultivating the Void Sutra. Up to now, the Void Sutra has been cultivated to the eighth level, and the spiritual power has reached the level of generating electricity in the void room, and the Zixia Gong has not yet been completed.

With the assistance of his own qualifications and spiritual power, the progress of Zixia Gong is still so slow, which really makes Gao Cheng a little puzzled, and he can't help but sigh, it would be good if he could directly consume fate points to improve his realm and strength.

It's a pity that the gate of fate can only allow him to comprehend the exercises, plus the role of shuttling through the world, there is no way to directly improve his strength.

At this time, a maid came to report that Li Shanchang, Zhu Sheng, Chang Yuchun, and Yang Xiao asked to see him.

Now Gao Cheng has opened the government system, with Li Shanchang's left prime minister, Zhu Sheng's right prime minister, and Chang Yuchun as the general, commanding an army of 100,000 people on land and water, and the authority of the three people in Wu Wangfu has surpassed Yin Tianzheng, Yin Yewang, Yang Xiao, Peng Yingyu and others.

However, after Gao Cheng became the king, he rewarded these Mingjiao masters richly, which also made these people feel a lot more at ease.

Gao Cheng walked out, his wide-sleeved robe, and when he walked to the conference hall, he saw Chang Yuchun, Yang Xiao, Li Shanchang and Zhu Sheng already waiting here, and the four of them saw Gao Cheng coming, and hurriedly got up and bowed.

"Meet King Wu!"

Gao Cheng said: "Everyone, please get up!"

The four of them straightened up when they heard this, and Li Shanchang immediately took out a fold from his sleeve and said, "King Wu, I have already transferred grain and grass from Huzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, which is enough to support an army of 300,000 for a year!"

The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, the 500,000 army of Mengyuan gathered in Yangzhou, quite a cross-river direct take Jinling, Gao Cheng wanted to unify the south, with the south as the foundation of the northern expedition to Mengyuan, it was bound to fight a big battle with Mengyuan in Yangzhou.
