Seeing this, Zhang Wuji directly pressed him to the ground with a palm.

He found that the soldier's eyes were red, but his strength was not very great, but he was not afraid of the pain, and his state was extremely excited.

Zhang Wuji was proficient in medicine, and after a brief examination, he then grabbed a few soldiers and examined them carefully.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuji couldn't help but sneer. Then Zhang Wuji said: "This kind of method is really good, but I'm curious where Zhu Yuanzhang got this kind of thing." ”

Lan Yu asked suspiciously, "Oh? What did they use? ”

After Zhang Wuji shook his head, he said meaningfully: "Don't say it, don't say it, you just need to know that it's not a good thing." With this means, this shows that Tang He has reached the end of his strong crossbow. ”

Since Zhang Wuji didn't want to say more, Lan Yu naturally didn't ask more. However, Lan Yu was still very curious about what Zhu Yuanzhang used to make these soldiers so crazy.

In fact, the things that can make these soldiers violent are the things that were explicitly forbidden in Zhang Wuji's original era.

Zhang Wuji didn't expect this kind of thing to be introduced to Middle-earth so early, according to the medical Tao that Zhang Wuji had learned, as well as the history he had learned, he had told him that these things would not flow from Southeast Asia to the Central Plains until at least the Age of Discovery began. I didn't expect to see it here today.

Although the enemy's offensive was very fierce, the will of the defenders in Suzhou was also very tenacious.

This is because Zhao Min is pregnant and has fought in the bloody battle, coupled with the news that the woman in the yellow shirt has returned safely and the reinforcements have been in place on the periphery, which completely inspired the soldiers with low morale.

Soon the first round of attack was completely repelled by the defenders of Suzhou City and Zhang Wuji's hard work.

Everyone looked at the Wu army who was retreating in gray, and couldn't help waving their flags and shouting.

After another victory, the will of the defenders in Suzhou to resist was also unprecedentedly high.

But on the contrary, the soldiers of the Wu army began to fight timidly.

After all, the Great Yuan Dynasty now only has only a part of the land north of the Yellow River and Qilu, and the day of being driven away is not far off.

No one wants to fall on the eve of victory in the war.

Because of Zhao Min's surprise attack and this siege battle, Zhu Yuanzhang's troops suffered heavy losses, and the morale of the Wu army had fallen into a trough all of a sudden.

When morale is low, there will be a "mutiny".

In the next seven or eight days, this kind of thing happened in the camp of the Wu army, although this time the four major generals of the Huaixi faction were all dispatched, but they still did not shake half of Suzhou City. They also gradually lost control of the army.

During this time, many soldiers who used to belong to the Mingjiao Red Turban Army defected to Zhang Wuji's side.

And their identities have also been confirmed by Lan Yu.

If an army deserters emerge and fail to stop them in time, it will cause a chain reaction.

Many soldiers who did not join the Mingjiao found those soldiers who were disciples of the Mingjiao, recognized them as "masters", and then joined the Mingjiao with the help of their connections. Later, in order to save his life, he defected to Zhang Wuji together.

And Zhang Wuji did not hesitate to accept them and took them in. Although there is a lot of detail mixed in, it doesn't matter.

After all, in this case, those who are still loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang are not fools, then they are absolute loyal ministers and righteous men, such a person, he respects.

But it was also from this time that Zhang Wuji knew how outrageous the development methods of the branches of the Ming Sect in Middle Earth were.

At least Guo Zixing's branch is outrageous, and the development method of the Ming Sect under Guo Zixing's command is exactly the same as that of a certain gang. is a simple master with an apprentice, as long as he worships the master and enters his door, then even if he is a child under the command of Mingjiao, he will have his own name.

And if he has a disciple with a rank of seniority, and then he accepts other apprentices, then his apprentice is also a disciple of Mingjiao.

In this way, since Zhang Wuji and below, the disciples of the Ming Sect in Guo Zixing's old department have been passed down for three generations, and Zhang Wuji, the sect leader, is their grandfather according to the generation.

He also finally understood why, the Middle Earth Ming Sect was obviously doing good things, but the reputation in the Central Plains was so bad, and it was strange that this "underworld" mode of joining the religion could attract good talents.

And after Zhang Wuji checked, except for some who had made military exploits and had no obvious bad deeds, they were retained as Mingjiao disciples, and the identity of the rest of the Mingjiao disciples was removed from his name on the spot.

It's not that Zhang Wuji is ruthless, but that he wants to completely turn Mingjiao into a formalized group. In the future, in addition to the serious imperial examinations, the selection of officials will also be selected from among the followers of the Ming Sect.

He wants to slowly kick Kong Laoer's disciples and grandchildren out of the core of power. Use their own Mingjiao department, these truly chivalrous and upright "heroes" to serve the people of the world.

The daily administrative affairs of the imperial court will be handled by these disciples of Confucius in the future.

But for their supervision, there is also the right to review the administration, and let the disciples of the Mingjiao Department take responsibility.

In this way, these scholars are also willing to lead horses and fall for the king for the sake of fame and fortune. And the officials of the Mingjiao Department will be the eyes sent by the emperor to supervise and guide these scholars at all times, and they will not be corrupted, and they will not have the strong sense of "class" and "official master" like Kong Laoer.

And those scholars under the second sect of Confucius, for the sake of higher power, can only believe in "Mingzun".

If Zhang Wuji wants to accomplish this, he must completely formalize and make Mingjiao transparent. Kick all this garbage out.

In the following days, the offensive of Tang He and others became weaker and weaker.

With the help of Huo Jia and the Yellow Shirt Girl, the loss rate of his own soldiers was greatly reduced.

It was not until ten days later that the army completely retreated.

Zhang Wuji stood at the head of the city and looked at the city of Suzhou after the smoke of gunpowder, and looked at the Wu army retreating in embarrassment. He sighed, then chuckled.

Seeing Zhang Wuji's strange expression, Huo Jia asked strangely: "What kind of expression are you, are you unhappy that the enemy army has retreated and turned the danger into a disaster?" ”

Zhang Wuji shook his head and said: "Of course I'm happy, I sigh because there are tens of thousands of innocent casualties in this battle." And I laugh because we saved the day. ”

The woman in the yellow shirt asked at this time, "Then what should we do next?" ”

At this time, Zhang Wuji put his hand on the shoulders of the woman in the yellow shirt and Huo Jia.

This time, the two beauties did not reject Zhang Wuji, but looked at him at the same time.

Zhang Wuji said: "Let's go east to Hangzhou and visit the West Lake!" ”

Huo Jia blinked, and then said, "Are you still in the mood to visit West Lake now?" ”

Su Mengqing, who was standing behind the two, understood Zhang Wuji's intentions at this time.

Su Mengqing said: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Huo Jia looked back at Su Mengqing and asked, "You girl, is it time to make a fool of yourself?" ”

The woman in the yellow shirt, who has always been calm and wise, also understood Zhang Wuji's strategic intentions, and she said: "This is not a sycophant. Brother Wuji wants to take advantage of the enemy's retreat to take the entire Jiangnan. Now that we have abundant money and food, and the morale of the enemy army is low, we will not be able to take over the surrounding cities with much effort. ”
