With the help of the local natives, Zhang Hongwu not only gained a firm foothold on the American continent, but even attacked three small tribes with the help of the Indians and harvested a group of captives. Not only was a large amount of supplies captured, but more than 20 preliminarily domesticated wild horses were captured in the process.

The base was initially built, and it became very easy for the natives who lived in wooden houses for the first time and enjoyed the rudimentary Chinese cuisine to become obedient.

Zhang Hongwu built up his own power little by little in such an environment......

At the same time, the Chinese mainland.

It has been three months since Zhang Hongwu left, and Zhang Hongbin has just come to the martyrs' cemetery as in previous years to personally pay tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the republic. When he returned home, he received an update on the news.

There is only one content, but it is definitely shocking: the state of Wu was destroyed, and Ma Shouying, as the general of the state of Wu, united with Dashun to launch a coup d'état.

The matter can be directly traced back to the second year after Ma Shouying was driven out of Huguang and put into Dawu......

At that time, Ma Shouying came to Dawu with 5,000 remnants, but he was also the most elite of his troops, and expressed his surrender. Originally, for this kind of low-level wandering thief leader, Dawu, who split out in the Ming Dynasty, should have been completely killed. However, at that time, Emperor Dawu had just made a rectification of the whole line and cleared out a group of generals who were close to the literati, and it was the time when there was a lack of main generals. At the same time, Li Zicheng was also eyeing the south, so he had to guard against it.

Furthermore, perhaps Emperor Wu also thinks that since he has broken away from the Ming Dynasty, and Ma Shouying has not harmed Nanzhili at all, it is not impossible to accept it. Therefore, he was appointed as a general and placed in the second line of defense in the south for garrison, the purpose of which was to deal with the Great Shun Dynasty, which was likely to go north.

Ma Shouying, as a general, was very unpopular in Nanzhili, especially the veteran generals and literati, and he was also sarcastic about him, a military general born in a rogue country.

He joined the army for two months in office, but Ma Shouying received a greater humiliation than Cao Cao gave him. He was very unwilling, and he completely hated Cao Cao, Zhang Xianzhong and Nan Zhili.

One day, he had just finished his daytime drills and returned home early. At this moment, he no longer has the high-spirited appearance in Shaanxi at that time, but looks a little decadent, quite a sense of living one day at a time.

At this time, the soldiers came to report that there was an old man who claimed to be him outside.

Ma Shouying also wondered, where is there any old man in a foreign land? But he also directly asked the pro-soldiers to let people in, but the people who didn't want to come in took off the hat, but Ma Shouying was startled, because what was coming in front of him was not Li Zicheng's gold medal military advisor Song Xiance?

may also have experienced vicissitudes of life, Song Xiance seems to be much older than when he met in Shaanxi at that time, but he is also much more mature. In the past, he could be said to be sharp, but at this moment, he is like an old spirit, mellow but not choking.

"You're bold enough to come here. Why, aren't you afraid that I'll arrest you and send you there? If you catch an important person like you, I'm afraid that I can be promoted to the third level. The two sat down, and Ma Shouying said with interest.

"You won't, because that condition is still too low for you. Besides, the kind of regime that doesn't treat people as human beings, from your point of view, I am afraid that I will not be able to look down on it. Song Xiance seemed to have seen through Ma Shouying's original intention, and replied very calmly.

"Heh, don't act like you know everything." Ma Shouying sneered.

"I don't know, it's not interesting...... I'm here just for one big benefit, and I'd like to discuss it with you. If you feel that this business has been done, then I am sure that you will not regret your choice today. Song Xiance smiled, not polite, and went straight to the topic.

"Business, what business do you and I have to do? Don't say it, you think I can't guess? It's nothing more than letting me be the answer, right? "Ma Shouying is also a person who has been the boss, if it is a little bit of a means to observe people, it is not like words.

"Talking to smart people is sometimes so worry-free." Song Xiance did not have the fear of being debunked at all, but made up his mind that Ma Shouying would compromise.

"I finally settled down, how could I be willing to be your cannon fodder?" Ma Shouying raised his eyebrows.

"There is no absolute loyalty in this world, but the chips for betrayal are not enough. Furthermore, do you have loyalty to Dawu? Song Xiance said with a smile.

Ma Shouying didn't answer, but his appearance had betrayed him.

"It's very simple, you just need to cooperate with us and take down the border pass, then you can at least become the governor of Fujian, in charge of Fujian's military affairs. If you can cooperate with us to take Nanzhili, then after the large-scale rectification of our Dashun, you will become the head of the military department, in charge of the world's military affairs, and sit on an equal footing with His Majesty. Song Xiance gave his own chips.

"It sounds quite tempting, but the emperor of your family is willing to share power with others?" Ma Shouying said sarcastically.

"Your Excellency should know that both the Ming Dynasty and the Republic have adopted a new type of government. With this kind of reform, they not only did not lose control of military power, but even controlled it more effectively. Most importantly, the power of both is constantly improving, driven by this form of government. Our majesty is not a conservative person, and since it is a good thing, there is no reason why he should not use it. Therefore, after taking Nanzhili, we will also carry out large-scale reforms. Song Xiance said with a smile.

"But according to what you say, wouldn't I have become the commander of the light pole, even if I get the position of the head of the military department, what good will it do me?" Ma Shouying quit.

"First, that is, to be knighted, you will be named the founding marquis, which is also the first and only existence in our power, and you will enjoy great honor; Second, the Chamber of Commerce we formed, you will get 15% of the profit for free. Don't underestimate the small number, you must know that our chamber of commerce will have an income of hundreds of thousands of taels every year; Third, the Minister of the Army, you will be at the top of the military, and the military of the whole country is your subordinate, and you can also directly join the discussion in the Congress in this capacity; Fourth, you don't have to worry about the death of the cunning rabbit and the lackey. Think about it, for example, the Da Ming who wants to deal with you quickly, compared to the Great Wei and Daxi who united to drive you away, and compared to the Republic that you disdain or look down on you, my Dashun is your best help, and it is also the best support for your back half of your body. Song Xiance gave the conditions.

"Why, isn't it a town guard, or a king who splits the earth?" Ma Shouying tried to ask.

"Sealing the king or something, it is no longer the mainstream, maybe you can be named a duke, but it is impossible to be a king. You look around, even if it's Zhang Xianzhong's wife, didn't he make a few of his righteous sons kings? Look at the republic again, several brothers and sons, none of them have been crowned kings. Or our Dashun, the king has never been crowned. This is the trend of the times, and no one can change it. Besides, the comfortable enjoyment of supreme power, and the fear of living a life in a state of confusion for self-preservation, I don't know which one do you prefer? Even if we crown you as the king of Nanjing, when the time comes, when you look around, won't you have a sense of crisis and loneliness? Song Xiance seems to have settled on Ma Shouying.

Ma Shouying was silent, in fact, he also knew that in today's world, it was impossible to become a king. As Song Xiance said, even if he is crowned the king of Nanjing or some other king, he has absolute military and political ability. But at that height, who else can accept him? continue to be crowned kings, so why don't the local veterans who fight for them become kings? If he is not crowned king, who can guarantee his loyalty?

There is almost no need to think about it, and we all know that the so-called king in these years is a huge failure in itself.

In fact, further speaking, in Ma Shouying's heart, he has been a little tired after all these years of wandering. If you can really be comfortable for the rest of your life, and you don't need to worry about being settled after the fall, then Song Xiance's mention may not be unacceptable.

The rest is nothing more than a matter of bargaining, and everyone knows that the conditions given by Song Xiance may not be the final conditions.

The two sides discussed like this for a long time, from the-for-tat at the beginning, to the harmony and harmony in the back, and in the end, it was to call each other brothers, and it was obvious that an agreement was reached.

In this way, Ma Shouying lurked in the Great Wu Kingdom and climbed up cautiously. Finally, after the end of the crusade against Wei, he was transferred back, because his cousin was excellent, and he had 'paid a lot of tribute' to the top in the past two years, and finally became the defender of the first line of defense. The official position has also changed from a general to a general soldier, and he can be regarded as a heavy general.

In such an environment, Ma Shouying reversed, with the newly recruited and trained army of 50,000 troops, with these years of careful detection of the garrison situation in various places, Shun lì led the Dashun army all the way north, almost did not give Dawei and Daming a little room for reaction, so they occupied the main territory, and finally cooperated with Dashun to capture the city of Nanjing.

The Great Shun Dynasty announced the reform at the first time, and with the accumulation of these years, a group of qualified civil servants were trained.

Ma Shouying, just like Li Zicheng promised him, became the head of the military department. It seems that Mingsheng is actually down, but in fact, the power is still there, and he also got 25% of the equity of the Chamber of Commerce, becoming the second largest shareholder, not to mention, and even let his son get engaged to Li Zicheng's daughter.

As for why Dashun reformed, perhaps he also realized that if he didn't reform now, he would be beaten. Seeing that Daxi was destroyed by the Republic, the Great Wei also fought extremely hard, and even carried out reforms immediately after the war, he also realized that if he did not reform, he was afraid that he would be annexed by the Great Wei or the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention, Hainan Island in the south and Taiwan Island in the east are still the territory of the Republic at the moment, so what if they land and fight?

Dashun had to reform, and Li Zicheng had to give up part of his power.

The new Dashun court was finally established, and the capital was set at Nanjing, the former southern capital and the capital of many dynasties.

The reform was in full swing, but he still ignored one thing, he reformed too late!

Da Ming seems to have put the next goal on the nascent Dashun Dynasty!!
