Chapter 1225 : Jinling Event
After he had a conspiracy, he clasped his fists again and said, "I will not hide it from His Majesty the King of Wu. The general did not read much, nor could he know a few words. He was a rough man, and he spoke straightforwardly and would not go around the corner. Today, His Majesty asked the prince to invite the general to the banquet. Compared to this, there must be a major event that needs to be done by the general. The general asked his Majesty to just give orders. Since the general defected to His Majesty, he should swear to be loyal to His Majesty to the death! If there is any order, just give orders. The general will never say anything!"
"Okay, please feel good, please feel good! I just like the general's straightforwardness!" Zhang Shicheng said with a thigh. Through the observation just now, he could see that Xie Zaixing in front of him would never return to Zhu Yuanzhang. His hatred for Zhu Yuanzhang was completely complete. A hatred that could hide his feelings, but the hatred in his eyes could definitely not be hidden. Zhang Shicheng looked at the gripping hatred in Xie Zaixing's eyes. In the world today, except for Jinling City, only Suzhou City is the most powerful to seize the world. It is wise to join me!
After dispelling his concerns, Zhang Shicheng seemed very happy, laughed and said, "General is so happy, I don't hide it from the general. I have decided to attack Monk Zhu in the near future!"
"Um"
Hearing this, Xie Zaixing just nodded lightly, not much surprise. Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang had a fight sooner or later. Anyone with a little vision could see that both of them were heroes of the world, but they both wanted this wealthy Jiangnan land. It would be strange if they didn’t fight?
Seeing Xie Zaixing so calm, Zhang Shicheng nodded and said to himself: "No wonder, when Monk Zhu learned that Xie Zaixing defected, he was so angry that he cursed. This person is indeed a little capable!"
Xie Zaixing said: "Your Majesty, the general of the Mo is a rough man. What kind of military strategy? The thirty-six strategies are not good at using low positions. If Your Majesty has an idea, what should the general do? Please ask Your Majesty to give me instructions?" Xie Zaixing was straightforward, but if he thought he was a big and rude man, then he would be wrong. Zhu Yuanzhang's powerful generals were so powerful that Xie Zaixing could be valued by Zhu Yuanzhang, which shows that he was not as simple as a rough man as he said.
Zhang Shicheng said: "Since the general is so refreshing, I will not beat around the bush, so I told the general bluntly that not long ago, Chen Youliang led an army of 600,000 to besiege Hongdu for more than three months, but he was unable to enter the city gate. The battle in Hongdu is a rare and modern one. I heard that Zhu Wenzheng, the general who guarded Hongdu, was Marshal Zhu's son-in-law. Is this true?"
Xie Zaixing gave birth to two daughters. The eldest daughter Xie Cuiying was mate to Zhu Wenzheng, and the second daughter Xie Cuie was mate to Xu Da, the right prime minister. Although this matter was handled by Zhu Yuanzhang, the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker were still there, and he still recognized Zhu Wenzheng's son-in-law.
"Report to Your Majesty, did Zhu Wenzheng marry the eldest daughter of the last general, and he is considered the son-in-law of the last general?"
Zhang Shicheng nodded and said, "I wonder what the relationship between the general and Zhu Zheng?" After saying this, Zhang Shicheng was a little nervous. The second strategy Shi Nai'an said was to persuade Zhu Wenzheng to surrender, and then take the opportunity to occupy Hongdu. With the strong city of Hongdu, it can attack and retreat, it is very beneficial to the extermination of Zhu Yuanzhang. It is even more rare that Zhu Wenzheng resisted Chen Youliang's 600,000 army with 20,000 troops for three months. This ability is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. If he can persuade him to surrender, he will continue to get a good general, and it will inevitably be a blow to Zhu Yuanzhang. This second plan is extremely powerful. Once it is successful, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be worth worrying.
"Report to Your Majesty, although Zhu Wenzheng is naughty, he is still filial to the last general because his parents died early!"
Zhang Shicheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Very good, very good. In this way, Marshal Zhu is quite affectionate to the general?"
Xie Zaixing said: "This is what we can say!"
Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Chenbao looked at each other, and a hint of joy appeared in their eyes. Zhang Shicheng continued: "A major event happened in Jinling City recently, which is related to the general's son-in-law. I wonder if the soldiers have heard of it!"
Xie Zaixing shook his head and said, "The last general came to join His Majesty, and kept pacifying the soldiers and training the generals. I don't know what happened in Jinling, so please inform His Majesty?"
"I'm not hiding the general. I recently reported to the spies in Jinling City that it was said that after the Battle of Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded meritorious ministers!"
"When it comes to rewards and punishments, I am afraid that there is no match for Zhu Yuanzhang in the world. This time, Wen Zheng is afraid that he will be comparable to Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and no one will look down on him again!" Xie Zaixing breathed secretly.
The light in Zhang Shicheng's eyes Xie Zaixing's face seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He sneered and said, "It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded merits, he greatly rewarded Chang Yuchun, Liao Yongzhong and other soldiers with gold and silk. When it was Zheng Dazhu's turn..." When he said this, Zhang Shicheng deliberately stopped and swept his eyes that could see through the hearts of the people to Xie Zaixing, his eyes burning.
"Zhu Yuanzhang raised Zhu Wenzheng as his son, and loved and trusted him very much. This time, he occupied the lonely city with 20,000 troops to resist the attack of Chen Youliang's 600,000 troops. This achievement was a great achievement for the famous generals of ancient times. With Zhu Yuanzhang's love for Zhu Wenzheng, this reward must be quite good! "Thinking that his daughter did not marry the wrong person, Xie Zaixing was a little happy and hurriedly said, "I wonder what reward my son-in-law has received, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a light flashed in Zhang Shicheng's eyes: "Sure enough, he doesn't know about Jinling?"
"Oh, it's so disheartening?" Zhang Shicheng sighed, and even Zhang Chenbao, who was beside him, looked dim.
Xie Zaixing was stunned and then said, "Is there something wrong?"
Zhang Shicheng nodded and said, "Something happened. In the battle of Poyang Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang led Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and Liu Bowen returned triumphantly. On the second day, he was in the palace of Wu to reward Chang Yuchun, Liao Yongzhong and other soldiers with gold and silk. When it was Marshal Zhu's turn, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say the merits or rewards, but only asked Marshal Zhu, "What official do you want to be?" Marshal Zhu was honest and said, "Why don't you be rich? I will give my relatives a reward first, so why should I be convinced!" After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang kept silent and refused to mention the rewards, and ordered Marshal Zhu to be in Hongdu and resisted Chen Youliang's 600,000 army of merits!"
