For subordinates, the control is naturally improved.

But it is not without its drawbacks.

Everyone is not a fool, not only Zhu Yuanzhang knows what checks and balances are, and not only those monarchs of all dynasties know what checks and balances are.

Everybody gets it.

They may not understand it at first, but as time goes on and they encounter more things, will they still not understand?

In this way, there will be a sense of distrust for subordinates in the first place.

This is human nature, and it is inevitable.

But in this way, can these brothers under your command still follow you with righteousness and loyalty to fight the world as in the past?

When they understand that no matter what they do, the person above will use another force against you, is there anyone who is willing to make meritorious contributions and do things at all costs?

Regarding Ma Xiuying's worries, Zhu Yuanzhang was not confused, but he understood after a little thought.

He hugged the woman next to him and said, "Don't worry, you are our sister, if there is no sister, where is Zhu Yuanzhang today, no matter what happens in the future, you are our sister, we are also your sister-in-law Brother Zhu, Zhu Chongba." ”

With the sincere conversation between the husband and wife, the worries in Ma Xiuying's heart disappeared a lot.

Early the next morning.

The whole Huanggang City became lively.

The reason is also very simple, the army is going to be pulled.

After the previous battle with the Yuan army, the rebels had rested for many days.

If it drags on any longer, empty cities such as Chuzhou may be occupied by others.

At the same time, there is also Jinling City far away in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

Now only 20,000 people led by Han Qin are still guarding the town.

So, no matter what it was for, the army couldn't continue to stay like this.

And last night's wine was the wine that Zhu Yuanzhang saw off the soldiers under his command.

At the beginning, after Qi Heng led the 20,000 elite soldiers of Huanggang City to attack Jinling City, the strength of the entire righteous army was only 50,000.

However, these 50,000 troops suffered nearly half of the casualties in the siege of the Yuan army, and now the available troops are about 25,000.

However, with the incorporation of the Yuan army, the current strength has reached more than 60,000.

In addition to the 10,000 troops left behind in Huanggang City, the remaining 50,000 troops were divided into three parts.

Xu Da led 10,000 troops and went straight to Jinling to reinforce Han Qin in Jinling City.

Tang He led 15,000 troops and sent troops to Shouchun City.

Shouchun City, divided according to the administrative region of the Yuan Dynasty, belongs to the capital of Anfeng Road.

The division of administrative regions in the Yuan Dynasty was relatively chaotic, and the roads and prefectures were roughly equal.

However, some of the prefectures and prefectures are under the management of roads, some are under the management of provinces, and some are under the management of the government, and there is no definitive conclusion.

Including Haozhou, Dingyuan, Changfeng, Mengcheng, Huoqiu, Anfeng, Xiacai, Huaiyuan, are all city-states within its territory.

The entire Anfeng Road belongs to the territory of Henan Jiangbei Province.

The entire Henan Jiangbei Province includes part of Henan, Jiangsu, Hubei, and Anhui. (This is also the reason why the word Anhui was used in the previous article, the author knew that there was no Anhui at that time, but he just wanted everyone to have a general range more clearly.) ）

When Tokhtar collected an army of 150,000 before, he collected the troops of the entire city-states around Jinling, and the entire Anfeng Road belonged to the city-states within the sphere of influence of the Yuan army, and the troops were almost exhausted.

Therefore, Tang and these 15,000 soldiers are to expand and stabilize the fruits of victory in this battle.

Go to the direction of Shouchun City (where Yuan Shu called the emperor during the Three Kingdoms), capture Shouchun at the same time, and take the Anfeng and Huoqiu lands in the southwest of it.

The remaining 30,000 troops marched in the northwest direction, with Chang Yuchun as the commander, and attacked Xiacai, Huaiyuan, and Mengcheng in the northwest.

These three places have a vast area, covering almost half of the entire Anfeng Road.

Moreover, these three places belong to the northwest area of Anfeng Road in the northwest, and they are not too affected by the conscription.

The strength of the army is still very good, and because of the proximity to the north of the Xiao Ming King, Tokh does not dare to draw too many troops.

And now that the Tokhtar army has been destroyed, the entire southwest of Anfeng Road is empty, and Dingyuan in the southwest is under the command of the righteous army.

It was completely sandwiched between Liu Futong's Xiao Ming Wang's sphere of influence and Zhu Yuanzhang's sphere of influence, forming a dead land, and no matter from any direction, it was necessary to pass through the area between the two.

Therefore, these three places are a piece of fat on their lips.

Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't eat it, and they will eat it sooner or later.

can only take advantage of Liu Futong and Xiao Ming Wang before they react, and take this place.

The vast territory of these three places, with King Xiaoming outside and Zhu Yuanzhang inside, formed the hinterland of Zhu Yuanzhang's sphere of influence.

You don't have to worry about an enemy attack at all.

Unless Liu Futong is defeated.

Or they took the initiative to attack Zhu Yuanzhang.

But now that Zhu Yuanzhang belongs to the internal sequence of the righteous army, and intersects with their regions, as long as King Xiao Ming is not stupid, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack Zhu Yuanzhang at this time.

What's more, they are now too busy to take care of themselves, where do they have the troops to attack Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, the urgent need to consider at the moment is how to take them down.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang handed over a full 30,000 troops to Chang Yuchun.

and told him to take it down if it was desirable.

If it is not advisable, wait for the Tanghe army, which is almost equivalent to tourism in the southwest direction, to complete the deployment, and then concentrate the remaining forces to attack.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was outside Huanggang City, looked at the three brothers in front of him and said, "Brothers, this battle situation depends on you!" After the success, the entire Anfeng Road will be under the command of our righteous army, and at that time, our Zhu Yuanzhang will personally give you a wine to celebrate! ”

Tang He, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun immediately bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, then turned over and rode their horses, each leading the army in different directions.

Looking at the worried look on Zhu Yuanzhang's face at this moment, Deng Youde beside him asked puzzledly: "Marshal, there are three generals who go out in person, and they are all empty places, what else is there to worry about?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at Deng Youde and said, "Tang and Xu Da, I'm not worried, there aren't many soldiers in the place they attacked. ”

"It's Chang Yuchun, although he was given 30,000 troops, but the troops in Xia Cai, Huaiyuan, and Mengcheng are still very well preserved, Chang Yuchun, this brother, I also understand, fighting bravely is brave, but sometimes the brain is not very good at turning, I am afraid that the three generals will annoy him and let him do foolish things."

Zhu Yuanzhang knows his three brothers very well.

Xu Da often meets the spring belongs to the same kind of people, and he is extremely brave in leading the army.

If you lead more than 1,000 troops, you dare to fight with the enemy's more than 10,000 troops, and you can often reap miraculous results.

However, Xu Da is still different from Chang Yuchun, although Xu Da has a straightforward temperament, it does not mean that he has no brains.
