A few days later, the group arrived at Hongdu City.

Zhang Wuji made the final arrangements in Hongdu City. Because Hongdu City is a fortified city that can be attacked, retreated, and defended, its strategic position is very important.

Therefore, Zhang Wuji transferred General Ding Pulang back and gave him 30,000 troops to garrison this place to guard against Zhu Yuanzhang's possible sneak attack at any time.

Then Zhang Wuji and others went to Wuchang with Zhang Dingbian, Zhao Pusheng and others with the rest of the army.

After arriving in Wuchang, Zhang Wuji sat on Chen Youliang's dragon chair.

Although this "palace" in Wuchang is much shabby compared to the old palace in Bianliang. But this was the outpost of his own counterattack in the future, so Zhang Wuji designated Wuchang City as the "accompanying capital" in the name of Mingzun.

In this humble palace, Zhang Wuji held his first grand court meeting after his return.

And the people who participated in the Great Dynasty Meeting were basically the officials arranged by Chen Youliang before. But after the rectification of Prime Minister Yang Xiao, the ministers of the DPRK and China are very familiar with current affairs and are willing to fall to Zhang Wuji.

On the military side, it was dispatched by Zhang Dingbian and Liu Futong, two principal and deputy privy envoys.

Although there are some minor problems in the territory at the moment, with their stable place, these small problems are quickly resolved. Moreover, the Xiangyang defense line against the Mongols is now impregnable.

But Zhang Wuji is a little strange at the moment.

According to the reports from this period, the Mongols have not made any offensive movements for nearly a month. Even if Chen Youliang changed the flag here, they would not move at all. Only a few troops were sent to guard along the river, as if they were afraid of the southern army and the northern expedition.

Therefore, Zhang Wuji is a little curious now, and he doesn't know what happened to Jiangbei.

However, compared to these things, Zhang Wuji is now more concerned about Zhao Min's whereabouts.

Zhou Zhiruo and his party don't have to worry, they have Fan Yao's soldiers by their side, Yin Tianzheng's Imperial Forest Army, and the women in yellow shirts and Huo Jia are all the top masters in the world. Presumably, everyone is already waiting for him at the tomb of the living dead.

It was Zhao Min who was alone, which made Zhang Wuji a little worried. He wasn't worried about Zhao Min's safety, he was worried that Zhao Min would be burdened by kisses.

I hope that Zhao Min is already waiting for him in Zhongnan Mountain now.

Although Zhang Wuji misses them very much now, he can't go north to find them at the moment.

First, he wanted to sit in Wuchang to stabilize people's hearts, and give Yang Xiao and Liu Futong to completely rectify Chen Youliang's forces for his own use, and buy some time.

The second is the delivery of Huainan, just a few days ago, Zhang Wuji had already sent Liu Futong to collect the army. However, Zhu Yuanzhang is not very cooperative.

In the end, Zhang Wuji sent Zhao Pusheng to lead the naval warship, and it took nearly half a month to receive all the tens of thousands of remnants of Liu Futong's soldiers to Jingzhou.

However, this is not that Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately did not cooperate, but that Zhu Yuanzhang had no way to cooperate.

Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Hu Weiyong's bad idea and recruited civilian ships as warships at a high price.

At the moment, he didn't fight Chen Youliang, and he didn't have half a score to repay. But in order not to lose his trust in the people, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and this turmoil of borrowing a boat almost made Zhu Yuanzhang's treasury empty.

In the end, after Li Shanchang's careful calculation, the principal was finally paid to the people first. The rest of the interest will be paid off to the people in five years. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang's finances will not be in a big crisis.

Although this made many people dissatisfied, the imperial court still returned the boat and gave money. Public resentment has also been suppressed for the time being.

However, this also made Zhu Yuanzhang afraid that he would not be able to expand his armaments in the next few years, so he would be able to recruit troops.

After Liu Futong's remnants were brought back, Zhang Wuji reorganized them. After all, they are considered "pro-soldiers" who followed Mingzun from birth to death. Although it is not as good as the Royal Forest Army composed of the old division of the Heavenly Eagle Sect. But these people are also much more reliable than those under Chen Youliang's command.

So Zhang Wuji shrunk the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were laid off and divided into some fields to farm. And Qingzhuang was adapted by Zhang Wuji into "Gyeonggi Camp". Responsible for the security of Jingshi Wuchang and the imperial palace.

And the leader of this Gyeonggi camp is still the Minister of the Guard, his uncle King Yin Ye.

However, the position of King Yin Ye has now been changed to an even older name, "Lang Zhongling".

The Minister of the Guards was an official title of the Qing Dynasty, while the official system of Chen Youliang's Chen Han was based on that of the Han Dynasty. Among them, there is an official rank with a similar function. Therefore, Zhang Wuji gave this official title to his uncle.

Because of these chores, Zhang Wuji spent more than a month in Wuhan.

Although it was delayed for more than a month, this more than one month was the most relaxing and comfortable time for Zhang Wuji during this time.

No more worrying about these things, let alone worrying about the safety of anyone's life. Zhang Wuji's tense spirit relaxed a lot at once.

During this time, in addition to dealing with government affairs, he was mixed with his harem. Zhu Jiuzhen and Wu Qingying have solved the pain of lovesickness this month. Both of them were like the land that had been dry for a long time, and they were nourished by the rain.

In addition to the two of them, Zhang Wuji also has a lot of newcomers around him. That is the woman who used to store Chen Youliang in Chuxiu Palace. Some of these women were young ladies from wealthy local families. Some of them were tribute maidens.

But without exception, these women are young and beautiful. The land of Wu Chu has been a place of beauty since ancient times, which makes Zhang Wuji very useful. If it weren't for Zhang Wuji's thoughts about the beauties in the north, he would really be a little happy.

Finally, after the situation stabilized, Zhang Wuji was also ready to go north to meet Zhao Min and others.

That night, Zhang Wuji hugged Wu Qingying with his left hand and Zhu Jiuzhen with his right hand, and both of them were lying on both sides of him.

Zhang Wuji said to the two of them, "Tomorrow I will go to the Northland to meet Minmin." Are you really not going with me? ”

Zhu Jiuzhen said at this time: "Wuji, the women around you, except for the little county lord, we are not very familiar with other people, rather than meeting each other, it is not a little embarrassing to say a word, it is better to stay here and wait for you to come back." ”

Wu Qingying also said at this time: "What Sister Zhen said is, especially the cousin of Ling, and the girl Zhou, every time she looks at us, she looks at us like an enemy. It's better not to see each other than to see each other. ”

Zhang Wuji said: "Okay, the two concubines will help me take care of all the things in the harem, and I will bring everyone back after a while." ”

Wu Qingying hugged Zhang Wuji's neck at this time, and then kissed him on the cheek, she asked, "Wuji, you are back now, I have something to ask you." ”

Zhang Wuji muttered, "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Qingying smiled and said, "That's what position you plan to give us." As you said when you left, when you came back, you would give us a place. Now you're back. It's almost time to give us a name. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji was a little embarrassed.
