Jinling, with dragons and tigers perched on it, gathers the royal energy from the southeast, and is the residence of the emperor. Anyone who founded a country in the south would always have Jinling as their capital. In the eyes of everyone, only those who occupy Jinling are the true lord of the south.
early morning.
In the thin mist, a huge city with a radius of dozens of miles dominates the land. The towering city walls are intimidating, and the soldiers on the walls are all formidable.
Creaking, as a new day begins, the city gate opens,
The woodcutter, common people, and merchants who were waiting outside the city to enter the city began to pay the city gate tax and enter Jinling to make a living.
Nowadays, the Ming army in Jinling is the most powerful among the many princes in the south, and while conquering the east and west, the Ming army has stabilized the order near Jinling.
The land that was prone to wars in the first and second years of Taichu was kept away from the flames of war. Countless people from the south came here to cultivate farmland and cultivate their health under the rule of the Ming army.
Zhu Yuanzhang's appeal was not very strong in the eyes of famous historical generals and civil servants, but for ordinary people, if the Ming army could ensure that they would stay away from the war and survive in this troubled world, they would be willing to fight for the Ming army and be loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Without the generals and generals to defect to him, Zhu Yuanzhang's power was still growing rapidly.
The longer time passes, the more solid his foundation becomes. What's more, the Ming Dynasty had a strong foundation. In addition to the famous ministers and generals who founded the country, there were also civil servants and generals who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
What Zhu Yuanzhang lost was only some top-level combat power. After the generals under his command with ninth-level potential break through, Ming's last shortcoming can be made up for.
By then, even if Liu Song's troops were led by Liu Yu himself, they would never be able to stop the Ming army from crushing them.
When many people slowly entered the city.
The sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance. The people queuing up outside the city gate looked around and saw a cavalryman running towards them with a small red flag on his back.
"Eight hundred miles, hurry up, stay out of the way!"
A slightly hoarse growl came.
The guard at the city gate watched this scene, and his heart skipped a beat. Only when the most urgent military situation occurred, would the message be delivered at an accelerated speed of eight hundred miles, and the law stipulated that no one could stop the message when it was delivered by a fast horse.
If he was in the front, he would be killed and his death would be in vain.
"Get out of the way!"
Knowing the importance, the two guards immediately waved their spears and used the barrels of their spears to separate the crowd gathered at the city gate. The people in front of the city gate were not fools either. When they saw the fast horses, they had already begun to dodge to both sides.
Boom.
The fast horse messenger galloped past, rushed directly into the city gate, and then ran towards the palace in the city.
“I don’t know what happened, but it’s another 800-mile rush!”
"Yeah, I remember the last time we rushed, it was when our army fought with Liu Song's army and the other side took back the city. However, I heard Master Baihu say a few days ago that we have negotiated peace with Liu Song... Could it be that Liu Song Did you break your promise and launch a sneak attack?"
The two pawns guarding the city gate looked at each other, confused.
Since the peace negotiation, the war spirit in Jinling City has decreased a lot. They really can't imagine what emergency military situation will happen at this time.
Except for Liu Song, the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the southwest only knew how to defend, like a tortoise with its head shrinking.
Directly to the west, General Chang Yuchun was guarding... Looking around, it was really only the Ming army that attacked others, and others would never dare to take the initiative to provoke the Ming army.
"Who knows, we are just soldiers guarding the city gate. As long as those kings and princes don't attack outside the city, it's none of our business. Let's do whatever we need to do!"
After thinking for a moment, one of the older city gate guards said.
The other person thought about it and agreed.
It is true that they are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who came from the middle period of the Ming Dynasty in the history of the source world. But after coming to the world of China, on the battlefield where those Gangqi generals and ninth-level generals swept hundreds or thousands of people, they Seeing the power of those generals with my own eyes, any remaining anger in my heart was extinguished.
On such a terrifying battlefield, ordinary people like them would just die.
They served in the Ming army just to earn a living. They did not have the kind of unswerving loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
The royal palace in the city.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang came, the imperial palace in Jinling was built by hundreds of thousands of civilians under Zhu Biao's instructions. This was not an abuse of people's power, but a way to provide relief to the young and strong with work when the refugees poured in one after another. Way to survive.
In the study room of the palace.
A middle-aged man with a heroic figure and a calm self-restraint was looking through the urgently delivered military information.
He is powerful and powerful, and his eyes are like those of an eagle. If you are stared at by his gaze, you will subconsciously break into a cold sweat. And when he smiles, he gives people a generous and generous feeling.
He is Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty who founded the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years.
Beside him, stood a handsome young man.
He is Zhu Biao!
Before Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, he single-handedly fought against Chen Baxian, Xiao Yan, Liu Yilong and other princes, large and small, and finally succeeded in repelling the powerful enemies one by one and monopolizing Jinling.
Although Li Wenzhong also contributed to this process, Zhu Biao's role cannot be ignored.
"Sure enough, we guessed right, King Huai has begun to send troops!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and handed the urgent military information to Zhu Biao beside him.
After Zhu Biao read it, he took the initiative to hand the military information to Li Wenzhong next to him without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak...
At this time, in the study room, in addition to Zhu Yuanzhang and his son and Li Wenzhong, there were also two civil servants, Yang Shiqi and Zhang Huangyan. One is from the middle school era of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is from the late Nanming Dynasty.
After top-notch officials such as Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Wang Guangyang, and Liu Bowen either defected to others or disappeared, Zhu Yuanzhang promoted many more civil servants.
Yang Shiqi and Zhang Huangyan, on the other hand, have gained Zhu Yuanzhang's trust and have just been included in the center.
"Biao'er, what do you think?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and turned around to ask.
His tone was very calm, not like the fierce and ruthless Emperor Hongwu in the original world history. Especially the look in Zhu Biao's eyes showed only warmth and no suspicion.
In other dynasties, such as the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, after the arrival of the Han emperors Liu Bang and Liu Che, and the arrival of Li Shimin, some nasties would arise in the process of regaining power.
Even the father and son Li Shimin and Li Zhi are no exception.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were truly father and son. After Zhu Yuanzhang came, Zhu Biao naturally handed over the power to his father, while he assisted him.
Zhu Biao was equivalent to replacing the prime minister's position. In addition to intervening in government affairs, he could also mobilize the army with his own orders.
