Chapter 204: Soldiers and horses in hand, I have the world
Zhang Wuji lived with the girl in the yellow shirt in the ancient tomb for three days.
Because the fourth day, according to the custom of the Central Plains wedding, is the day when the little daughter-in-law returns to her parents' home. This ritual is called "returning to the door". It is to ask his parents and brothers at home to see if his married life is good. Have you been abused by your husband's family?
However, the girl in the yellow shirt, like Zhou Zhiruo, both had early deaths, and the only place he could return to his mother's house was the ancestral hall of the Tomb Sect.
After the yellow-shirted girl finally worshiped her ancestors, she did not delay for a moment, and followed Zhang Wuji back to Bianjing.
Although the woman in the yellow shirt wants to stay with Zhang Wuji in the ancient tomb all the time, Zhang Wuji is the king of a country after all, and it is impossible for a group of women to deal with the affairs of the court. Therefore, after worshipping her ancestors, the yellow-shirted girl did not delay for a moment, and followed Zhang Wuji back to Bianjing.
When parting, Yucui personally sent it off, even if it was just a temporary separation from the woman in the yellow shirt, Yucui was heartbroken. After all, she and Miss have been inseparable since childhood. This should be the first time the two of them have really separated.
It was only at this time that Yucui finally understood her intentions.
Although she has a good impression of Zhang Wuji, that kind of good impression is the kind that the little sister has for the big brother, and it is not exactly love.
She finally knows now that she has always wanted to marry Zhang Wuji, just because her young lady wants to marry Zhang Wuji, and she doesn't want to be separated from her young lady.
With tears in her eyes, Yucui waved goodbye to the yellow-shirted girl and Zhang Wuji, then covered the stone door of the ancient tomb and went back to the room to cry bitterly.
A few days later, Zhang Wuji and the woman in the yellow shirt rushed back to Bianjing City.
After the wedding with the girl in the yellow shirt, Zhang Wuji's "vacation" can be regarded as completely over.
He completely took over the government, and during the time he left, the army led by Liu Futong also drove back.
Moreover, the grain, finances, and captured soldiers, horses, money, and grain of the provinces were also reported.
Zhang Wuji didn't take a closer look at the financial reports of various provinces, he focused on how much he had achieved after destroying Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhang Wuji perished, and Zhang Shicheng collected the remnants of Zhang Shicheng, with a total of more than 300,000 soldiers and horses, and 800 large and small warships. All kinds of jewelry, including silver and copper coins, all the property was converted into silver worth more than 8 million taels, and grain was more than 1 million stones.
And to destroy Zhu Yuanzhang, his gains were the most. Because Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding to obtain their war resources, and by the way, he also surrendered part of Zhang Shicheng's old troops. also beat the local tyrant of Shen Wansan, the richest businessman in Jiangnan. And he almost didn't pay much price, and captured Jinling City.
The defenders in Jinling City even "ate pot pulp to welcome the king". As for the other besieged cities, because of Zhu Yuanzhang's death and the persuasion of Xu Da and others, Zhang Wuji basically accepted it all. Therefore, the loss is not big, and the gain is not small.
After the statistics of Su Mengqing and Li Shanchang, Zhang Wuji destroyed Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhang Wuji got a total of more than 600,000 soldiers and horses. There were more than 1,000 large and small warships. All kinds of property were converted into silver, totaling more than 18 million taels. More than 5 million stone of grain.
Today's Zhang Wuji can be regarded as a real son of heaven.
After Zhang Wuji streamlined hundreds of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, and then streamlined some strong laborers for rear production, he was not counted as a soldier in the Western Regions. Coupled with the Central Plains army that Zhang Wuji originally owned, he now has a total of 850,000 land and water troops under his command. Among them, there are 550,000 elite infantry soldiers, 100,000 elite cavalry, and 200,000 elite sailors.
Although it is not much different from the number of Meng Yuan's existing army in terms of numbers, it does not even have much advantage. However, Zhang Wuji's command are all the absolute elite who have survived the "chicken war" in the Central Plains after a hundred battles, and they are not only well-trained and experienced in combat, but most importantly, they have strong morale.
It is not at all the remnants of the defeated generals under the command of Meng Yuan, which can be compared.
And more than a month later, Xu Da and others, who were guarding Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit, also rushed to Bianjing City to report on their work.
For these generals under Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Wuji also retained their original official rank and status out of the standard of not using suspicious people and employing people, and even Xu Da, Tang He, and Chang Yuchun, who were originally the coaches. It's business as usual.
Although Lan Yu gave Zhang Wuji a letter and wanted to transfer him back to Chang Yuchun's command, Zhang Wuji refused.
Zhang Wuji's reply to Lan Yu was, "General Lan's talent is no less than that of the champion Hou, and he is the one who leads the army by himself." ”
Lan Yu was very happy to see that Zhang Wuji had brought such a high hat to herself. Despite the young man's ambition, Lan Yu did not get too carried away. That's because his brother-in-law Chang Yuchun is still there.
In the original real world, Lan Yu's arrogance and arrogance, in addition to being a master of high merit, the most important thing is that he is just like Wei Yan in the late Shu Han Dynasty, as soon as Zhuge Liang dies, there will be no one who can suppress him.
At that time, Chang Yuchun died early, Li Wenzhong and Xu Da died of illness, and Tang and Zhishi returned to their hometown. The four commanders under Zhu Yuanzhang died and walked. There is no one in the court who is invincible, and others are not as good as him in terms of ability or seniority. Naturally, he will be a little arrogant.
But at this time, Mo said that he was the three commanders, and even Liu Futong, the world's first righteous commander, was there, and Lan Yu was naturally not so arrogant. But even if these people died, Lan Yu didn't dare to rebel, it was because he obeyed Zhang Wuji.
When the generals returned, Shuai had Xu Da, Lan Yu, Chang Yuchun, Tang He, Liu Futong, and Zhang Dingbian. And the generals also have Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Ding Pulang, and Zhao Pusheng. Zhang Wuji's subordinates can now be described as an all-star lineup.
As for Li Siqi, although he is also a general, now that he has handed over his military power, he plans to return to his hometown in Luoyang to be his own Marquis of Xiaoyao. Zhang Wuji didn't force this uncle, since he likes to be idle, let's go home and relax.
Li Siqi is not unambitious, or has been ostracized by something.
Because his purpose has been accomplished. Li Siqi's purpose of taking refuge in Zhang Wuji was just to protect his family business.
The Li family has lived in Luoyang since the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, because they assisted Mongolia in destroying the Jin Dynasty and became the Marquis of Wanhu, and since then Luoyang has been on the throne for many generations. All he wants is to preserve his family's ancestral business. Now that the goal has been achieved, and there is a yellow-shirted woman in the palace to rely on, why should he work hard again? Therefore, he returned to his hometown in advance, carried a cage of birds at home, and enjoyed himself with his family.
And the same is true of his righteous son Zhao Qi, Zhao Qi because of his contribution to the jade seal, plus he has made war exploits with Li Siqi for many years, he was named the county marquis by Zhang Wuji, and he is also the third wife and four concubines, and he lives his leisurely life behind closed doors.
Now that his subordinates have money and food, soldiers and horses, and generals, the time has come to truly destroy the Yuan Dynasty and rebuild Shenzhou.
With this all-star lineup in hand, Zhang Wuji began to fight hard, so that these generals could quickly integrate into his team, so that the soldiers under his command could also be fully commanded by them.
Zhang Wuji fought for the final battle to completely destroy the Great Yuan, instead of forcibly going on a northern expedition like the original Zhu Yuanzhang, but only drove the Mongols away, but did not completely eliminate them, leaving a great hidden danger for several generations of himself.
