Chapter 119: A Cup of Wine Releases Military Power
Zhao Min looked at Su Mengqing, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling, and said, "Okay, Sister Su, you are good everywhere, but the rules are bigger." Brother Wuji is right, as long as we don't mess around like Ah Li, it's okay to have some frolic on weekdays. Get up quickly. ”
Hearing both of them say this, Su Mengqing reluctantly stood up.
Of course, Su Mengqing is very afraid of Zhang Wuji, everything she has now is given by Zhang Wuji in one sentence, but if Zhang Wuji wants to deprive her, he will only say one word.
This is the power of the authority of the Son of Heaven.
She knew that she was different from others, and she didn't have such a deep relationship with Zhang Wuji. She naturally has to walk on thin ice to protect her family wealth and the status she has gained.
In order not to embarrass Su Mengqing too much, Zhao Min also looked at Zhang Wuji and said, "Brother Wuji, you are always like this in this matter, and it doesn't look like it." You have to find a way. ”
Zhang Wuji let out a sigh of relief and said, "Ah Li's matter, give me a little time first." That's right! My holy decree has been issued for some time, and I wonder if there is any movement from the princes everywhere? ”
Zhao Min said: "Fang Guozhen from eastern Zhejiang and Chen Youding from Fujian have made it clear that they are willing to come to the meeting and are willing to surrender to us. It's just that the attitudes of Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang are still a little ambiguous at the moment. ”
Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "It's good if someone surrenders." Fang Guozhen, Chen Youding. The two of them don't have much power, they just took advantage of the chaos to steal a place. But since they are willing to surrender, then according to Li Siqi's standards, give them a marquis of ten thousand households. ”
Zhang Wuji muttered at this time: "Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng are indeed not good at stubble. It seems that this battle is inevitable. However, these two people are ambitious, and sooner or later they will have to clean them up. If you can unify Jiangnan and completely integrate the strength of the Han people, then this time you will definitely be able to smash the Yellow Dragon and swallow the world! ”
Zhao Min nodded and said, "Hmm! Although Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang's attitudes were a little ambiguous, they didn't say that they wouldn't come. I think there is still room for redemption, although we are strong at the moment, but we don't have a lot of money and food in hand, and we can't fight a protracted war with them. It would be a good thing if they could surrender without a fight. In a few days, they will almost be there. We're almost going to send someone to meet them first. ”
Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "Well, it should be to greet them." Zhang Wuji looked at Su Mengqing, and then asked, "Sister Su, has your father-in-law been at home all this time?" ”
Su Mengqing nodded.
Zhang Wuji said: "If this is the case, this errand will be handed over to him." He drafted a decree for me, made him a messenger, and went to welcome the princes from all walks of life on my behalf. ”
Su Mengqing nodded again.
A few days later, the envoys of all the princes came to Wuchang City.
And Zhang Wuji summoned them in the palace.
Zhang Wuji was sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a dragon robe very majestic.
And the four tables above the main hall also sat in front of the four princes.
The leader is naturally Zhu Yuanzhang, who has the most power, and the chief on the left is Zhang Shicheng, who has the most financial resources.
The last seats are Chen Youding and Fang Guozhen.
And the person accompanying him in the back row was the former leader of the World Alliance, Liu Futong.
Although all four of them came, the atmosphere on the field was very awkward.
Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding are full of flattery, they are very self-aware, whether it is in terms of popularity or strength, they are not as good as Zhang Wuji, the son of heaven. Rather than waiting for him to destroy himself, it is better to surrender first, or to save his life of wealth.
Compared with the two of them, Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang, who were sitting facing each other, were very uncertain.
At the moment, it was clear to everyone present that Zhang Wuji's renegotiation of the covenant was false, and it was true to force them to surrender.
Compared with Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng were full of unwillingness.
Zhu Yuanzhang's fierce generals are like clouds, with Jinling as the capital, and the tiger is located in Jiangdong.
Zhang Shicheng is a rich country, he occupies the richest place in the world, with money and food in hand, he can change a million male soldiers at any time. What's more, in the previous battle of Gaoyou City, the "million army" that escaped was killed by Zhang Shicheng, which made Zhang Shicheng's confidence extremely inflated, and he felt that he was the real son of destiny. How can he condescend to others?
One of them is strong, the other is rich, and they are all determined to be in the world. Now that it is not easy for me to mix from the troubled times to the present, if I am annexed by Zhang Wuji at this time, I will be a little unwilling.
But now Zhang Wuji is still recognized as the "co-master of the world" in their covenant, Zhang Wuji issued a holy decree to them to come, if they don't come, they will lose the hearts of the people.
Now the two of them are complaining about Mingsheng's waste.
Originally, when it came to territory, Ming Yuzhen and his son occupied the entire Bashu, the fertile land of Tianfu.
Although Zhang Wuji ate Chen Youliang, he also occupied the Jingxiang land occupied by Xu Shouhui and Chen Youliang, and everyone's strength was similar at that time. They all felt that they could wrestle with Zhang Wuji.
But as Mingsheng was destroyed by Zhang Wuji, Zhang Wuji annexed Bashu and opened up the connection between the east and the west. This balance was completely upset.
Now Zhang Wuji is no longer a nominal son of heaven entrenched in a corner of Jingchu, but an emperor who can really wrestle with the Yuan court. It's not like they, the "little princes", can compare.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the polite words are almost all said.
Zhang Wuji also began to get down to business.
Zhang Wuji looked at everyone and said, "Today, I summoned all Aiqing to come here to discuss the big matter of going north to ask for Yuan!" ”
Then Zhang Wuji said another set of kind words, saying that he would let the princes of the world put righteousness first, and that now is a good opportunity to crusade against the Yuan Court and recover the Han people's rivers and mountains.
And Zhang Wuji said in the end, and finally "saw the poor dagger", he said: "But this monofilament does not form a thread, and it is difficult to make a forest alone." We Han people can be enslaved by the Hu people for nearly a hundred years because the north and the south are separated from Germany. Now we only occupy half of the Jiangnan forces, and the forces are divided. This was a great disadvantage for the Northern Expedition. ”
"First, we can't unite the real forces, and second, everyone is suspicious of each other. Therefore, I plan to learn from Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and also have a 'cup of wine to release military power' style of 'cutting the domain'. I hope that all of you Aiqing will give priority to the righteousness of recovering the rivers and mountains! ”
Zhang Wuji's words, speaking of this, gradually lowered his words, and there was a deep threat in his tone.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that today's Zhang Wuji would speak so bluntly.
The story of "releasing military power with a glass of wine", they have naturally heard it.
That was a strategy of Song Taizu to cut the domain, and the towns that were cut down eventually got a good end and enjoyed wealth.
But the threat in Zhang Wuji's words in the second half of his sentence seemed to reveal that this was the ultimatum he gave them, the biggest concession.
