"Someone!"

Shi Caiying, who figured out this section, immediately sent someone to Haozhou City to deliver the news to Zhou Nian, asking him to come to Huanggang City in person.

In the next half month, Qi Heng's body has gradually returned to a healthy state.

Although it is impossible for the chest injury to recover so easily, there is no problem with normal movement.

In the past half a month, Qi Heng has been discussing the construction of reservoirs and canals with Zhou Nian from Haozhou City every day.

How to divide this more than 10,000 hectares of land, how to manage, how to irrigate, how to build canals, little by little, step by step in detail.

At the same time, the number of workers, the production of tools, and even the daily food and clothing of these laborers must be discussed in detail to come up with a result.

After all, this project is too big, involving 15,000 hectares of land, and now a small carelessness may cause great trouble after the start of construction.

Even how these laborers can be transported back and forth on these 15,000 hectares of land is a big problem.

These problems are subdivided, and they are quite complicated.

Fortunately, whether it was Qi Heng or Zhou Nian, they all believed that this project could bring great benefits to the people, so they were full of interest, and no matter how late they discussed it every day, they did not complain.

At the same time, Shi Caiying also arrived in Shouchun City more than ten days ago, and had a detailed understanding of the situation in the cities of Anfeng Road this year.

And a detailed arrangement and plan were worked out.

There are many plans, but the main one is focused on how to increase the population and how to increase the food production of the people in the territory.

Combat aspect.

After having Tang He and his troops to reinforce him, the army led by Chang Yuchun was even more powerful, and the army of Lian Keyuan was tens of thousands.

When he arrived in Mengcheng, the generals who defended the city knew that they could not resist, and they were surrounded by the forces of the Red Turban Army, so they directly led the army to surrender.

In less than half a month, the entire northwest territory of Anfeng Road was included in the territory of the Righteous Army.

Three days ago, the army had already returned to Huanggang City, and it should be almost there.

At this point, the entire territory of Anfeng Road was completely dominated by the rebels.

This succession of good news also made Zhu Yuanzhang happy.

But when I wanted to find someone to talk to, I found that there was no one around me to talk to.

wanted to talk to Qi Heng, but found that there was no trace of Qi Heng in the marshal's mansion for several days.

I don't know what Qi Heng is doing, I want to order someone to ask, but I can't pull my face.

I had to wander around the city aimlessly, and at the same time I wanted to find out what Qi Heng was doing.

Huanggangcheng County Ya.

After Shi Caiying left, Zhou Nian's study.

Qi Heng and Zhou Nian worked day and night in the room to continuously improve the plan of the reservoir and canal.

There are also a lot of complicated numbers involved, and they need to be constantly recorded, resulting in a mess in the whole room, filled with all kinds of papers.

Outside the county office.

After Zhu Yuanzhang walked in, the official immediately said respectfully: "Handsome! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back, followed by the big tiger, and asked, "What about you Zhou Nianzhou?" ”

The official didn't dare to deceive, and said, "Discuss important matters with Lord Qi in Lord Zhou's room." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

"Our Engong is also in there?"

The official nodded hurriedly: "It's been a long time." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he suddenly realized.

Dare to be mixed up with Zhou Nianwei these days, no wonder he can't find it.

"Dashuai, do you want someone to report it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "No, you go down, let's go by ourselves." ”

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was really curious, what was there that made Qi Heng not see anyone for so many days.

I didn't even go to Ma Xiuying for dinner.

Curious, he walked in the direction that the official had just pointed.

When approaching the door, he was immediately discovered by Chen Du in front of the door.

Chen Du wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang.

He came to the door, listened to the words of Qi Heng and Zhou Nian discussing things in the house, and pushed the door in.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and just as Qi Heng and Zhou Nian were puzzled, Zhu Yuanzhang walked in.

Both of them were stunned.

"Superior?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked around the house, and couldn't help but smile at the two of them and said, "Okay, Engong, how can we say that I haven't seen you in the house these days, and I dare to hide here and paint!" ”

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have discovered a new continent, and his face was full of ridicule.

When Qi Heng and Zhou Nian heard this, they immediately couldn't help but laugh.

"Big brother, how did you tell I was painting?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the smiles on the faces of the two of them, and said: "You have a room full of papers and paintings, what are you doing not painting, you literati are hypocritical, it seems that it is true, you have to hide when you paint a painting, and you will not see anyone for a few days." That's it..... It's a little ugly, no wonder you're hiding. ”

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Qi Heng couldn't help it, and hurriedly said, "Big brother, we're not painting. ”

As he spoke, he put the pattern on one of the pieces of paper, and then came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and said, "Big brother, take a closer look, where is this painting, this is the topographic map around our Haozhou." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard Qi Heng's explanation, really didn't think about it, and if you look closely, it really looks like it.

I couldn't help but wonder: "What are you hiding here to draw these?" ”

Qi Heng replied: "Big brother, you have to leave me here, I have to find something to do for myself when I have nothing to do." ”

"Look here, this is the land ....... between Haozhou, Huanggang, and Fengyang."

As Qi Heng said his original idea, Zhu Yuanzhang said with an incredible face: "Engong, you're not joking, we are from Fengyang County, we have been here since we were children, do you know how big a small piece of paper is?" ”

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's distrustful face, Qi Heng also said helplessly: "Big brother, of course I know." ”

But Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "You scholars only know how to read all day long, and you have never been in the field at all, these rice are irrigated by water sources, and in these hinterlands, if there is no nearby, it will be very troublesome, and the water for drilling wells is completely insufficient." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in a poor peasant family since he was a child, began to explain rice cultivation to them.

Qi Heng, who really had no choice, had to interrupt him and said, "Big brother, don't worry, you listen to me first." ”

After speaking, he began to explain to Zhu Yuanzhang how to turn such a large area of land into paddy fields suitable for cultivating rice.

During this period, it was also mentioned how to use reservoirs and canals built of concrete to turn dry land into paddy fields.

Listening to Qi Heng's little by little narration, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more fascinated the more he listened, and during this period, he specially picked up some maps drawn on the ground for comparison.

In the end, he said in surprise: "Engong, you're not joking, this project is too big." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't imagine how such a big project could be completed by manpower.

Especially the reservoir in Qi Hengkou, which has to move mountains and reclaim the sea at every turn.

But how could Qi Heng not know that this was a big project.

It can be high-risk, high-pay, and naturally have high returns.

If all these fertile fields are completed, they will be a real grain machine.

As long as there are no extreme weather disasters.

Ordinary droughts and floods could not affect its normal operation.

Because the role of the reservoir is not only the daily storage and circulation of water, but also the role of flood discharge in the event of floods.

It's a win-win-win-win

At that time, with the passage of time, the grain output of this grain-producing area will gradually increase with continuous improvement.

The maximum potential ceiling can meet the annual food consumption of nearly two million people at the same time.

Think about Shanxi, which has bumper harvests year after year, there are only five or six million people in the whole territory.

Nowadays, in the entire province of Henan and Jiangbei, after years of disasters and wars, even if the population here was not less than that of Shanxi in the past, it is now only more than three million at most.

What's more, now they are just a small Anfeng Road, although the detailed population information has not yet been sent and cannot be counted, but it is absolutely impossible to exceed two million.

You must know that in the entire Henan Jiangbei province, there are more than a dozen Fu roads that are about the same size as Anfeng Road.

That is to say, once this grain-producing area is finally perfected according to Qi Heng's assumption, the final grain production will be 100% enough for all the people in Anfeng Road to eat every day.

And with the increase of paddy field area, the increase of labor, and the improvement of details, when its full potential is tapped, it can meet the food problem of about ten people in Anfeng Road at the same time.

Of course, this is just what you need to eat every day.

But most importantly, these paddy fields are always there.

is a sustainable business.

It's not a one-shot deal.

The implications are far-reaching.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered carefully after the initial exclamation.

Finally, thinking of all the miracles of Qi Heng in the past, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's done!" ”

"This is a great plan for the benefit of the people, whether it can be done or not, it always has to be tried, our righteous army says every day that it is to help the people overthrow Hu Yuan's brutal rule, but they have not done a few practical things.....

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "After Chang Yuchun attacked Mengcheng and other places this time, in addition to the local garrison, there are more than 45,000 troops with soldiers, let's call the shots, leave 20,000 people for Engong as helpers, how about it?" ”

In this regard, Qi Heng was naturally overjoyed.

"Of course, this is good, just now we were still saying that the manpower consumed is too large, and the mobilization of the people in the early stage should not be too large, and it will take some time to call on the people, and now with the 20,000 troops sent by the eldest brother, it has helped a lot."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled stupidly and said, "We are also the commander of the righteous army in the end, and we can't rely on you to do things alone." ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, everyone smiled.

Then Qi Heng seemed to think of something, so he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "There is one more thing I have to tell you." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

Qi Heng said: "Now there are more and more territories under the name of our righteous army, but the people who can make it are far from enough, you see that the officials sent to Shouchun, Anfeng, and Huoqiu this time can only send one person in charge because of the lack of officials." ”

"And the rest of the yamen positions still need to be chosen by the person in charge."

"There may not be much of a problem in the short term with such a method, but after a long time, there will definitely be problems."

"So I'm thinking, if we can find a way to recruit more celebrities, no matter how bad it is, we can also train some poor children to come out."

"After all, education is also a top priority."

Listening to Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know, and said helplessly: "Why don't we want to, but now that our righteous army is still just starting, where can people with ability go to find so much." ”

Qi Heng immediately made a suggestion: "Big brother, I have an idea, you can listen to it." ”

"Nowadays, under the rule of Hu Yuan, the cultural inheritance has been cut off, even if the imperial examination has been resumed under the governance of Tokhtar in recent years, the time is too short, and it cannot play a big role at all."

"In that case, why can't we train some of our own?"

"You see, craftsmen, officials, and farming, all of which have knowledge, and if we can concentrate all this knowledge on books, and then cultivate it in the way of reading and teaching, the speed of learning will be much improved."

"And after these students leave the school, they go to work everywhere, whether it is farming, craftsmen, officials, etc., they can bring some improvement to everywhere, so that in the long run, the entire production capacity and efficiency in our territory will be much stronger than other places."

Regarding Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused.

It seems to have understood, but it has not understood.

The meaning of the words was indeed understood, but I didn't hear what was good about this solution.

Zhou Nian on the side was different, he accurately grasped the words craftsman, farming and other words in Qi Heng's words.

I couldn't help but say: "What do you mean by that, not limited to our traditional poetry and book classics, but all the skills of craftsmen, farming, and other walks of life are incorporated into the books, and then taught in different categories?"

Qi Heng glanced at Zhou Nian approvingly and said, "Exactly!" ”

"In the concept of education, we should have an attitude of education without class, no matter who it is, what kind of background, we should have the qualifications to study."

"But in terms of detailed teaching, we can teach these people according to their temperament and hobbies."

When Zhou Nian heard this, his eyes flashed.

"What the adults said suddenly reminded me of an allusion."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was savoring the meaning of the words of the two just now, immediately said: "What allusion? ”

Zhou Nian said: "This is an allusion to the sage of Confucius, saying that there were two disciples under the sage at that time, one is called Zilu, and the other is called Ran You. Both of these disciples once asked the sage the question, 'Wen Si Xingzhu?' ’。 ”

"Do you mean to do it when you hear it?"

"And when the sage told Zilu, he said: "If there is a father and brother, how can you hear about it?"

"When I was telling Ran, I said: Wen Si Xingzhu."

Another disciple wondered why the teacher had different answers when he told the two people, and the sage said, "Zilu has a reckless personality and must be told to be restrained and cautious, so he should discuss with his family in case of trouble." And Ran is timid and looks ahead and backwards, so he should be encouraged to move forward. ”

Listening to Zhou Nian's words, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually understood, thought of himself, and immediately said: "Just like we dispatch troops, we must carry out different battles according to the talents and personalities of the brothers under our hands. ”

Zhou Nian nodded immediately: "Yes, that's exactly the truth." What Master Qi just said is to put this method in specific teaching. ”

"It's like a saint who taught Zilu to think twice before acting."

"Teaching Ran sometimes, but teaching courage is teaching."

"Isn't this exactly what Lord Qi said?"

Listening to Zhou Nian's words, Qi Heng shook his head helplessly: "Lord Zhou, they all say that you are knowledgeable, and it seems to be true." ”

Zhou Nian was ashamed.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not have much say in these topics, Zhu Yuanzhang was not annoyed at all.

Instead, he humbly listened to the words of the two of them, and tried his best to absorb knowledge from them.

However, Qi Heng, who looked back, said: "What Lord Zhou said is indeed what I want to express, but it is not true. ”

"The two of you think about it, from ancient times to the present, knowledge and learning cannot be taught the same because of the different social classes in which everyone lives."

"Since then, the gap between classes has become wider and wider, the scholars have money and food, and the children of the disciples can study and read wholeheartedly, and then they have the authority, but what about the children of the poor families and the children of the peasants."

"It's like you, big brother, I think that the eldest brother's heart to study is not weaker than those students, but he can't do it because he has no money and no food. In this way, the richer the rich, the richer the rich, and the richer the haveless. ”

"Gradually, it will appear, the gentry of the noble clan grasp eighty or ninety percent of the world's money and grain, while the ordinary people have a bumper harvest every year, but there is a famine every year."

"At the root of this is the gap in education."

"If everyone in the world is knowledgeable, everyone has a fair starting point for studying, and then the way of fair selection of talents in the imperial examination, the contradictions between these classes may be alleviated."

"This is what I just said about teaching without class, and in terms of the people who educate people, there is education without class."

"At the same time, when there are more and more literate people, there will be more and more outstanding students.

Zhou Nian, who quietly listened to what Qi Heng said, sighed in his heart: "My lord's heart is really a blessing for the poor in the world. ”

"But the world is like this, and the people's families can't be satisfied with food and clothing, so how can they have the money to read and write?"

Qi Heng smiled: "Education is the foundation of the country, so why can't you run schools openly, all counties in the world have schools, and you can enroll in schools without money." Or pay a small amount of money. The lion's share is spent by the state. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Nian and Zhu Yuanzhang both frowned.

I have to say that Qi Heng's idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

"Engong, we also understand what you say, but if it is implemented like this, how many talented people will be required to teach every year, and how much money will be needed to revise the school, as well as the books of students, if you want to cover all the people in the world that Engong said, this huge loss is unimaginable......."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were already very tactful, but the meaning was very clear.

Have one's head in the clouds.

However, Qi Heng didn't care about their words at all.

Because Qi Heng understands very well in his heart.

Moreover, history has confirmed its own ideas.

This is like an investment, and the initial investment is naturally very large, and it is also very sad.

But it's like people exercising.

It's hard at first, but over time, you'll find the benefits of exercising.

Education is a long-term investment.

Judging from the numbers alone, it seems that it is a great loss to spend so much money and food to make such an invisible investment.

However, with the improvement of the education level of all people, the social productivity will increase exponentially because of the participation of these people.

Take the reservoir canal they prepared this time as an example.

If all the officials in the world can see the benefits of building these and have these related abilities, there will be no food in the world?

When the skills of craftsmen are studied and studied from generation to generation, when steam engines, water conservancy, and even electricity are developed, is there still a lot of expenditure on education?

Thinking of this, Qi Heng wanted to explain, but he also knew that they didn't understand it at all, and he couldn't even believe it.

After all, this has not happened in history, and who dares to guarantee that it will be possible in the future.

They are not like Qi Heng, in Qi Heng's perspective, these things are ironclad facts.

Thinking of this, Qi Heng no longer insisted on letting them understand, smiled and no longer dwelled on this issue, and instead said: "Since the two of you don't believe it, then leave this matter to Qi Mou, and the two of you just need to look at the result." ”

"However, this implementation of the matter, you still need your promise from the eldest brother."

Seeing that Qi Heng was so confident, although Zhu Yuanzhang felt unrealistic in his heart, he was not easy to refuse arbitrarily, thought about it and said: "This matter can be implemented by Engong, but after all, our righteous army is still shallow, and the world is not peaceful. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's euphemistic words, Qi Heng laughed when he heard it.

"Big brother, rest assured, Qi Heng will definitely do it when he meets the needs of the army and the food and clothing of the people under his rule."

After getting Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang finally put his mind at ease.

"However, eldest brother, in addition to the power to implement official education with eldest brother, Qi Heng also wants to implore eldest brother for another thing."

"What?"

Qi Heng said: "Just now, Qi Heng said that craftsmen, farming, blacksmiths and other walks of life should be included in the education system. ”

"Since this is the case, Qi Heng wants to ask his eldest brother for a promise that no one in the world is superior or inferior."

"The eldest brother also saw that the persecution of my southerners by the fourth-class system of the Yuan Court is outrageous."

"Although the four-class system of the Yuan Dynasty is hateful, it is still on the table, but from ancient times to the present, how has the concept of hierarchy in the world ever disappeared, during the Song Dynasty, the emphasis on literature and light on martial arts, although there are geographical restrictions and no reason for the war horse, but it is also a fact that the Song Dynasty is strong and weak, relying on tribute every year to survive, why is this?"

"Isn't it that the literati are paid a high salary, and the martial artists are low, and most people go to pursue literary talents?"

"Therefore, I want to make a promise to your eldest brother, everyone in all walks of life in the world is equal, regardless of Shinong, industry and commerce, all coexist equally, although the people's hearts cannot be changed, but at least in the policy within the territory of our righteous army, we must not favor one over the other."

As a modern person, Qi Heng deeply understands that no group of these farmers and industrialists can be ignored.

In addition to being limited by the influence of the feudal dynastic system, the suffering of modern China is not because the role of the craftsman group has not been taken seriously.

The four great inventions of ancient times all prove that Chinese craftsmen are no worse than any other civilization.

But why are the birthplaces of the Industrial Revolution someone else's?

The gunpowder we made has become a weapon for others to blast open their own country.

While others attacked with spears, our soldiers rode on war horses and fought with machetes.

In the First Opium War, the Qing army suffered 22,790 casualties, and the British army suffered only 69 casualties.

Such numbers and proportions should be engraved in everyone's mind.

The Second Battle of Dagukou was regarded by the Qing court as the greatest victory since the war, but it only killed less than 100 British and French troops.

Now Qi Heng wants this promise from Zhu Yuanzhang in order to facilitate his next plan in Anfeng Road.

In order to master the core element of invincibility in this day and age, the role of the artisan community is crucial.

Therefore, it is not so much that Qi Heng wants to ask for an equal treatment for the people of the world, but for the sake of these craftsmen.

It would also lay a political foundation for his next plan to produce a large number of artisan talents.

Can't be vigorously developing the craftsman group here, but there is a person who is all inferior and only reads high.

Listening to Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate at all, and immediately said: "Let's get it, it should be like this!" ”

As a poor peasant, how could Zhu Yuanzhang not agree to such a request.

And only Zhou Nian heard some extraneous meanings in Qi Heng's words.

Obviously, Qi Heng specifically made this request, but it was not really for a superficial verbal promise.

An attitude of the superior will often affect the composition of the social structure of the entire territory.

Just as Zhou Nian was thinking about what Qi Heng might do next, a soldier suddenly came outside the door.

"Handsome! General Tang and General Chang are back! ”

Listening to the soldier's announcement, Zhu Yuanzhang in the room suddenly looked happy.

"Let's go! Let's go meet them personally! ”

Watching Zhu Yuanzhang walk out of the house, Qi Heng glanced at Zhou Nian and followed.

The marshal's house.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others, who had just rushed back, happened to meet Tang and Chang Yuchun and others who had returned.

However, before Zhu Yuanzhang could say something happily, Tang He took the lead and said, "Big brother, look who we brought." ”

Following Tang He's gaze, everyone looked at them, only to see several officials in court clothes walking with them.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled, Tang He took the initiative to say: "This is an envoy sent by King Ming." ”

Everyone was shocked.

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, and immediately said, "Hurry up, please." ”

As the group entered the mansion, the envoy immediately said, "Zhu Dashuai, let's pass the decree first, right?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes, yes, the right thing matters." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned everyone present to come and stand at the foot of the steps.

As everyone stood up, the envoy immediately said: "Zhu Yuanzhang takes the order!" ”

The crowd bowed down one after another.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Huwei general Zhu Yuanzhang outwitted Jinling, shocked the north and south, made great contributions, and was specially named the generalissimo of Huwei, and led the Jiangnan Zhongshu provinces to clean up the political affairs."

"God bless the Ming Sect, loyalty and righteousness for eternity!"

"Chin this!"

Zhu Yuanzhang on the ground, while listening to this hypocritical word, listened to the meaning of this will.

His mind was spinning quickly.

As the will was read out, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately took the lead in shouting: "Zhu Yuanzhang received the decree and thanked him!" ”

Say goodbye.

Then the congregations will bow down and worship.

Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang came to the envoy and took the holy decree in his hand.

Stretch out your hand and ask these envoys to go and rest.

As soon as the envoy left, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately returned to his usual casual posture, waved his hand to the generals below, and surrounded him one after another.

Where had Tang and Chang Yuchun and the generals under his command seen this, and they all surrounded them curiously.

And Zhu Yuanzhang was in the center, holding the holy decree in his hand, watching in front of everyone.

While looking at it, he smiled happily: "You say, isn't it over if we are a handsome, what Jiangnan Zhongshu Province Pingzhang political affairs, Pingzhang political affairs we know, my sister told us, now Engong is this official, but what is this Zhongshu Province or something, what kind of official are they?" ”

Hearing this, few of the brothers in the other armies knew about it, so they looked at Qi Heng and Zhou Nian one after another.

Qi Heng smiled and motioned to Zhou Nian to speak.

And Zhou Nian also explained with a smile: "The political affairs of Pingzhang in Jiangnan Zhongshu Province are equivalent to the prime ministers of the six provinces in Jiangnan. ”

As soon as they heard the word prime minister, everyone was surprised.

While smiling, Zhou Nian continued: "Dominate the rebels from all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River in one piece. ”

And Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while, and said: "So, so, King Ming put us above the righteous army such as Chen Youliang in Jiangxi, Xu Shouhui, and Zhang Shicheng in eastern Zhejiang. ”

Zhou Nian nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yuanzhang Yile: "This is a little interesting." ”

"I also said that we are the general of Huwei, when did we become the general of Huwei? Hahaha. ”

After laughing, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the handwriting on the holy decree and said with a smile: "Look, the word King Ming is written with a lot of water." When will we Zhu Yuanzhang be able to write like this. ”

But Qi Heng on the side took the opportunity to say: "Qi Heng thinks that in the future, there is no need for the eldest brother to write on this Huang Juan album. ”

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what Qi Heng meant.

Only Zhou Nian said it, smiling and silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked stupidly: "Where is the writing?" ”

And Qi Heng faced the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and the brothers, and said with a smile: "Write a nine-foot monument, stand on the top of Mount Tai, and shine through the ages." ”

After saying this, everyone was immediately shocked by this ambition, thinking of the future, and laughed heartily.

Then he echoed and said: "Yes, yes, Brother Qi is right!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled and said, "Engong, you are whipping our whip, but ah, this whip is comfortable!" ”

With that, everyone walked towards the lobby together.

Above the lobby of the Marshal's Mansion.

The crowd stood on both sides.

Looking at the generals on both sides, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said to everyone: "Brothers." ”

"Since we were driven out of Haozhou City by Guo Tianxu in Haozhou, we have taken the entire territory of Chuzhou, gathered the people from all directions, governed Huanggang, and attacked Jinling to sit in an important town."

"The people of the city live and work in peace and contentment, and the army is abundant."

"In less than a year, our military strength has changed from 5,000 when we left Haozhou to more than 80,000 today!"

"The people under it, only the two cities of Huanggang and Jinling, there are nearly 500,000!"

"There are countless fertile fields, and there are plenty of weapons and armor."

"Our land area stretches from Jianghuai in the north to Jinling in the south. From Anfengmeng City in the west, Huoqiu, south to the Yangtze River, west to Yangzhou Mansion. ”

"Seventeen cities are occupied, and the land is nearly a thousand miles."

"All in all, we are bold and strong!"

"Become a prince of this southeastern side!"

"The Yuan Court and the rebels from all walks of life are impressed by us!"

With Zhu Yuanzhang's enthusiastic shouting, the brothers in the audience were also full of interest and shouted excitedly.

Qi Heng in the field looked at the happy expressions on the faces of Zhu Yuanzhang and many soldiers, although his face was also very happy, but there was a faint uneasy emotion in his heart.

Compared with the beginning, today's rebel army is indeed different from the past.

But if you really want to magnify it, they still only occupy an Anfeng Road.

The nature of Jinling City is different.

Today, it is far from the extent of sitting firmly on the mountains and rivers.

However, at this time, Qi Heng also understood that it was not the time to spoil the fun, so he endured it in his heart and said nothing.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the stage, looking at everyone's reaction, raised his hand slightly.

As the scene quieted down, Zhu Yuanzhang began to say: "I have to tell everyone one thing, our mortal enemy, the prime minister, was dismissed by the imperial court." ”

"What does it mean to be a special envoy to eastern Zhejiang? Well? This shows that the Yuan Court has been panicked and scared by our rebels! I'm in a hurry! It's going to change the levy to appeasement, and it's going to be eyebrow-squeezing with us! ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience once again burst into laughter.

I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be born to be a high-ranking material.

These simple words, coming out of his mouth, are inspiring.

Let the soldiers below be in a surging mood and top gun.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang on the stage also laughed and said: "This is another great opportunity for our righteous army to develop and grow!" ”

As he spoke, waiting for the scene to be quiet, Zhu Yuanzhang's face that was still laughing just now changed in vain, and he said solemnly: "But." ”

"No matter whether the court is conscripting or appeasing, whether it is swords and soldiers, or smiling with us, we are always righteous soldiers, everyone said, isn't it!"

Everyone in the audience shouted in unison: "Yes! ”

Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang finally got to the point.

He looked at the crowd and said word by word: "Today's achievement is all earned by our brothers in bloody battles, we know that all brothers want a honor in their hearts, right?" ”

"Good!"

"Let's talk about meritorious deeds today!"

"Worship the general, confer the title, establish the dignity and humility!"

"In this way, it is also conducive to everyone leading troops to fight in the future, you say, isn't it?!"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Yes!!" ”

After shouting, the crowd fell silent.

They knew that the next step was the proper canonization.

And Zhu Yuanzhang walked back and forth on the main seat, not in a hurry at all, until everyone was anxious, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Tang He!" ”

Hearing the sound of soup in the field, he immediately stepped forward.

"The last general!"

"Spring is always in the spring!"

"The last general!"

Chang Yuchun stepped forward and came to Tang He's side.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a serious expression: "From now on, worship the two of you and Xu Da in Jinling City as the general of the righteous army, and each command 10,000 troops!" ”

Tang and Chang Yuchun immediately shouted: "Xie Dashuai! ”

"Deng Yu, Geng Bingwen, Tang Shengzong, Feng Sheng, Feng Guoyong!"

"The last general!"

"Worship you as deputy generals, each commanding 5,000 troops!"

..................

With the canonization of Zhu Yuanzhang, the generals in the hall have more or less been rewarded.

Only Qi Heng stood in the first place on the left, silent.

At the same time, the surrounding soldiers also looked at Qi Heng, and they all seemed to be a little puzzled.

And Zhu Yuanzhang in the hall looked at everyone's eyes and asked with a smile: "Do you think there are many people missing?" ”

The people did not dare to speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said: "This time, our righteous army can go from Huanggang City, which had 5,000 men and horses, to this situation, Qi Heng, our Engong, bow very great!" ”

"If it weren't for his clever plan several times, our righteous army would not be able to go today."

"If there is no other way to deal with Huanggang, if there is no other way to settle Haozhou, we will be relieved, and if there is no 20,000 Haozhou soldiers and horses reinforced by him, how can we defeat Chuzhou?"

"How can under the attack of the 150,000 army of Detok, not only defend the city, but also break the Yuan Court 150,000!"

"Not only that, he planned Jinling to get this important town in the south of the Yangtze River, so that our righteous army will be famous all over the world!"

"This time, Qi Heng should be the first to take the lead!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately shouted and said, "Qi Heng! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a solemn expression: "Now that we Zhu Yuanzhang are the generalissimo of Huwei, since this is the case, we will make you the general of the righteous army Huwei!" ”

"And lead the prime minister of Anfeng Road Zhongshu Province, and control the military and government of the whole territory of Anfeng Road in one piece!"

"Han Qin, Chen Guang, Mu Ying, Shi Caiying, Zheng Guangzu, Yu Guangdao, Zhou Nian and others have all been included in the General's Mansion, and Qi Heng has been given the right to dispatch and appoint officials and generals at all levels in Anfeng Road!"

"You can open a mansion!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.

With such a heavy position, it can be said that the righteous army is the second person in addition to Zhu Yuanzhang!

Even if it is Tang and Xu Da and other old generals, when they see Qi Heng in the future, they will have to pay the courtesy of their subordinates.

However, I was extremely shocked by Zhu Yuanzhang's reward.

But one by one, they had to accept it.

In just one year, this Huanggang City can have today's grand situation, all thanks to the merit of Qi Heng's governance.

Not only that, Qi Heng also calculated to capture Jinling, take Haozhou, and help Zhu Yuanzhang seize Chuzhou.

And when he was in Haozhou, Qi Heng had already planned to retreat from the army once.

It can be said that the righteous army can have today's merits is completely due to Qi Heng's merits.

Now it is reasonable to be rewarded by Zhu Yuanzhang like this.

There's nothing wrong with that.

It's just that everyone also understands in their hearts that from today on, the situation within the rebel army has completely changed.

In addition to Zhu Yuanzhang, Qi Heng will be the only one!

Especially waiting for Han Qin, Chen Guang, Mu Ying and others to return to Qi Heng's Great General's Mansion and appoint them, the power of Qi Heng's faction will be unprecedentedly strong.

not only commands political affairs, but also controls the entire Anfeng Road military as a whole.

It has the right to transfer and appoint.

The entire Anfeng Road has completely become under the rule of Qi Heng.

Qi Heng's Great General's Mansion is also like a small imperial court.

This majesty is unique among the rebels!

Qi Heng listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and slowly bowed his hand and said, "Xie Dashuai!" ”

After listening to Qi Heng, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and a person immediately came behind him, holding a tray in his hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a look, and his subordinate immediately brought the tray in his hand to Qi Heng.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Let's give you a tiger seal, officials and generals at all levels on Anfeng Road, see this tiger seal, if you see us Zhu Yuanzhang!" ”
