Lin Qi has been very troubled recently, he got a news from the old guest who came to collect ginseng in the Guannei, Zhu Yuanzhang was called the emperor, and after defeating Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang rushed to Wuchang to supervise the siege of the city, and Chen Li finally went out of the city and surrendered. After annexing Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang took a fancy to Zhang Shicheng.

Zhang Shicheng is a native of Taizhou and sold illicit salt in his early years. The White Lotus Sect gathered people to rebel and he also raised the anti-flag, and later called King Cheng in Gaoyou, the founding number of the country was Zhou, and Jianyuan Tianyou. The capital was built in Pingjiang. After eliminating Chen Youliang's father and son, Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Zhang Shicheng in October of the 25th year of Zhizheng, and captured Tongzhou, Xinghua, Yancheng, Taizhou, Gaoyou, Huai'an, Xuzhou, Suzhou, and Anfeng counties in one fell swoop, driving the forces of Eastern Wu out of the Jiangbei region.

In May of the 26th year, Zhu Yuanzhang published an article denouncing Zhang Shicheng. The text lists Zhang Shicheng's eight major crimes, except for paragraphs 4 and 8 related to Western Wu, the rest are all accusing Zhang Shicheng of betraying the Yuan Dynasty. If you don't look at the beginning and the end, it is very easy to mistake people for the crusade order of the Yuan Dynasty. This shows that Zhu Yuanzhang has regarded himself as a king who inherits the mandate of heaven and is ready to inherit the orthodoxy of the dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's army attacked rapidly, and in November of the 26th year, Hangzhou and Huzhou surrendered successively, and Pingjiang became an isolated city. So Zhu Yuanzhang surrounded Pingjiang with heavy troops and launched the Battle of Pingjiang.

At the same time as besieging the city, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Liao Yongzhong to Chuzhou to pick up Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, to Yingtianlai, but when crossing the river in Guazhou, he quietly chiseled the bottom of the boat, and the king of Xiaoming sank to the bottom of the river. Then, Zhu Yuanzhang announced that he would no longer use the dragon and phoenix era and call Wu as his name.

At the beginning of the battle of Pingjiang, Zhu Yuanzhang built a wall to besiege the city, and built a three-story wooden tower, which was higher than the city wall, and shot into the city with bows and crossbows and firearms, and also set up Xiangyang artillery to bombard at night. There was a panic in the city, and Zhang Shicheng failed to break through several times. Zhang Shicheng is capricious, greedy for enjoyment, and very indulgent to his subordinates. On the last day of the siege of Pingjiang, Zhang Shicheng's younger brother Zhang Shixin supervised the battle at the head of the city, but he still did not forget to have fun, sat on the silver chair and drank, and the people who served on the left and right handed him peaches, but before the peaches arrived, he happened to be hit by a cannon and his head was shattered.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to persuade him to surrender many times, but Zhang Shicheng refused. Zhang Shicheng defended the Pingjiang River, and after the grain ran out, he fed on rats and dry grass; When the arrows were exhausted, they used the roof tiles as bullets. Until the eighth day of September in the 27th year, Zhu Yuanzhang led the army to attack Pingjiang City, and Zhang Shicheng launched street battles to resist. In the end, Zhang Shicheng was captured and sent to Yingtian. Zhu Yuanzhang asked, but he ignored it; Li Shanchang asked him, and he hurled insults. Helpless, Zhu Yuanzhang had to order his guards to beat Zhang Shicheng to death with a stick. At the age of forty-seven, Soochow perished.

In the 27th month, Jiazi said that Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, ordered Xu Da, the right prime minister of the book, to be the general of the conquest, and Chang Yuchun of Pingzhang was the deputy general, leading an army of 250,000 to the north into the Central Plains. During the Northern Expedition, a proclamation was issued to the officials and people in the north, in which it proposed to "expel the Hulu, restore China, establish a program of Chen Ji, and relieve the people", so as to inspire the people in the north to rise up against the Yuan.

Zhu Yuanzhang made careful arrangements for the Northern Expedition, first taking Shandong, removing the barrier of the Yuan Dynasty, marching into Henan, cutting off its wings, seizing Tongguan, and occupying its threshold; Then he marched into the capital, and at this time the Yuan Dynasty was lonely and took it without a fight; If troops are sent to the west, Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong, and Gansu can be swept down. The Northern Expedition marched according to the plan. Xu Da led his troops to take Shandong first, then marched westward, captured Bianliang, and then waved his army to Tongguan.

Lin Qi thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would be the emperor, how could it be a few years, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, what he was worried about was that he was dragged outside the customs and couldn't go back, and finally waited until Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, and the blood of the Son of Heaven had a whereabouts, but the ginseng doll couldn't be found, could it be that he went to Zhu Yuanzhang to ask for blood, and then came back?

Don't say it, after thinking about it, Lin Qi really wanted to do this, but when he left, he had to meet his cheap eldest brother Hu Sanye.

Lin Qi took the tiger head and didn't care about anything else, he broke into the immortal hall of Hu Sanye, as soon as he entered, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the situation in front of him, but he saw Huang Sangu with seven or eight little weasels and threw a strange man tied up with flowers at the feet of Hu Sanye, Lin Qi came in, and heard Huang Sangu say that this monster-like man sucks human blood.

Mrs. Hu San smoked the cigarette pouch and pot that he never left his hand, and said to Huang Sangu with a smile: "What kind of monster, this is the color mother, don't make a fuss, it's just a bloody evil method, and you don't have any big skills, otherwise you can let a few farts smoke like this?" Since he has harmed human lives in our realm, you don't have to be polite, pull it down and unload eight pieces! ”

Lin Qi looked at the man curiously, and saw that he was yellow-haired and blue-eyed, very strange, and when he got closer, he smelled a smelly breath to the extreme, disgusting and disgusting, so he hurriedly avoided farther away, Huang Sangu lowered his head and listened to the orders of the third master Hu, and saw Lin Qi come in, and the third master Hu was talking about how many farts you have, his face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Third master, that fart...... I didn't put it, I put it in the small ones......"

Third Master Hu also saw Lin Qi, hurriedly coughed a few times to hide the embarrassment, waved his hand to let Huang Sangu and them retreat, Huang Sangu took seven or eight little weasels to help the man, and walked towards the door, passing by Lin Qi, he was blessed with Yingying, and said softly: "The third girl of the Huang family has seen the little master." ”

Lin Qi hurriedly said, "Third sister, what are you doing?" But it was tormenting the little brother. ”

Huang Sangu saw that Lin Qi did not dislike herself, she was overjoyed, and was about to say something, but she heard Hu Sangu cough and hurriedly hung her head and went out, Lin Qi saw that Huang Sangu was still the same as two years ago, and couldn't help but say to Hu Sangu: "The rules of the eldest brother are really strict, and a cough can scare others to tremble, and the younger brother admires it!" ”

Third Master Hu said to Lin Qi: "Third brother, the third girl of the Huang family has taken a fancy to you, hey, this girl is also miserable, you said that it is not good to look down on anyone, but she fell in love with you, even if she retreated from the beast body, you also don't look down on her...... Hey......"

Lin Qi looked at the third master Hu with cold eyes and sighed there, and didn't say anything, the third master Hu sighed several times, Lin Qi was stunned and didn't answer a word, and he felt very boring, coughed and asked, "What is the third brother looking for me?" ”

Lin Qi said: "Big brother, you don't need to talk about Xila, just forget it when you see that I have nothing to say, what are you doing with Huang Sangu?" Let's not talk darkly, the eldest brother swore back then, the ginseng doll thing was wrapped up in you, that look confident, little brother I think about it now, I still admire it very much, why did the eldest brother mention it after two years? ”

Mrs. Hu knew that Lin Qilai must be for this matter, and he did put a lot of effort into it, in addition to digging ginseng in the past two years, the ginseng was dug a yard, but the ginseng doll didn't even see a single hair.

Today, Lin Qi went straight in, and the third master Hu didn't know how to face it, and he heard Lin Qi's words with sarcasm, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "Third brother, has the eldest brother done anything?" In the past two years, in addition to the main business, the Guanwai immortal family has put down the cultivation of ginseng, and they are so tired that they are crying and wiping their tears, and a lot of ginseng has been sent, you go to the side courtyard to take a look, the yard is full, and it is full of hair, your eldest brother is also anxious, but the ginseng doll is not planted by our family, you want to have it, you must not look for it slowly? Third brother, if you are more patient, it is really not good, brother, I will personally go up the mountain to collect ginseng! ”

Third Master Hu was so squeezed by Lin Qi that he even said that he went up the mountain, what else could Lin Qi say? can only smile bitterly: "If the eldest brother personally goes up the mountain to pick ginseng for me, the younger brother really has no face to stay here, I really don't hide it from the eldest brother, my sister's medicine, waiting for me to ask for it, it's really not good, I'll go back to the Central Plains first, here the eldest brother will be more ** heart, and I'll come back to you when I finish the things over there." ”

In the past two or three years, the two brothers don't say that they see each other, but they always get together, what Lin Qi looks like, Hu Sanye also feels it clearly, his third brother is a person who can live with a surname, he is serious, and he also looks like a generation of ghost masters, and he is not ambiguous in major matters, but sometimes he is still a child's temper, and he makes a fool of himself, which really makes people cry and laugh.

Third Master Hu really regarded him as his own brother, seeing that his sad face was also a little distressed, he didn't respond to Lin Qi's words, and was pondering, a little weasel came in with a smoke, and said to Third Master Hu in a sharp voice: "Third Master, Third Aunt asked me to pass you a message, she said that the person with colored eyes is very evil, and he is not dead even after being dismantled, let the little one come in and find the Third Master to get an idea......"

Third Master Hu was thinking about Lin Qi's affairs, and he was very annoyed, and when the little weasel came in, he couldn't help frowning and said to him: "I also ask your grandfather for ideas about big things, is your grandfather very idle?" Go to ...... Find your own way! ”

The little weasel was reprimanded by Mrs. Hu, and was so frightened that he ran back again, Mrs. Hu sighed for a while, and said to Lin Qi: "Big brother, I have good thoughts, it is not easy to practice grass essence, but I didn't expect to be so faceless, then don't blame our brother for being ruthless, the third brother is at ease for the time being, wait patiently for another three months, if the eldest brother can't find a ginseng doll for you within three months, you will go back to the customs first, and when the eldest brother finds it, I will send it to you personally!" ”

As soon as Lin Qi wanted to ask what to do, he heard Third Master Hu say in a deep voice: "Hu Zhongxian! ”

Hu Zhongxian flashed in from outside the door, saluted Hu Sanye, and bowed to Lin Qi, bowed down, Hu Sanye said in a deep voice: "Pass down the old man's immortal order, let all the immortals outside the gate see ginseng, and spread the word, saying that my old man only needs one or two ginseng dolls, if you can't see it within three months, the immortal family outside the customs will see the ginseng root in the future, no matter how big it is, the root will be wiped out, and the ginseng pulse will be cut off!" ”
