Chapter 680 : I don't know the holy will

There is a manor near the right of the Grand Marshal Yingtian Mansion. This manor is the residence of Li Shanchang, the current Sima of the Grand Marshal and the provincial governor. It occupies nearly half of the residence of the Grand Marshal's Mansion. The mansion is divided into four courtyards in front, back, left and right, and arranged according to the five elements from the east to the northwest. Because the East Court is close to the Left Marshal's Mansion, Li Shanchang sorted out the entire East Court and temporarily made his own office.

This courtyard was originally the headquarters of a high-ranking official in the Yuan Dynasty province. It was built in a very luxurious way. Now, after Li Shanchang's transformation, the Mongolian atmosphere in the original mansion was removed and replaced with the beautiful mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River. The courtyard is now full of rockery, towering ancient trees, clear water piano platforms, flowers and plants, corridors, pavilions and towers, and every place, it is really beautiful.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiqing Road and changed Jiqing Road side by side to Yingtian, and established the Left-wing General's Mansion, Li Shanchang will also bring all the families left in Fengyang. Now, in Ruoda's mansion, maids, servants, soldiers, wives, concubines, sons and daughters all live here. Li Shanchang has the intention of staying here and not leaving.

From the 13th year of Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang was appointed as the colonel under Guo Zixing. He used a plan to collect 20,000 soldiers from Hengjian Mountain and went south to attack Chuyang. On the way, Li Shanchang went to the military gate to ask for a meeting. Zhu Yuanzhang heard that he was a famous local figure and received him politely. The two sides had a very scheming conversation. Zhu Yuanzhang asked when the troops from all directions would be peaceful? Li Shanchang said that Emperor Gaozu of Han was also a civilian, with a great popularity, far-reaching vision, good at employed people, and did not kill people randomly. In five years, he pacified the world. The Yuan Dynasty was unpopular and had a disagreement, and had reached the point of collapse. Haozhou and Pei were not far away. If you could learn from the strengths of this fellow villager, the world would be peaceful.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang cheered repeatedly, leaving him to be the chief secretary of the shogunate, and instructed him: Now that the heroes are rising everywhere, the world is in ruins, and the battle is good, the most important thing is to have good staff. I see that the heroes who are in charge of the clerks and staff members must always say bad things about the soldiers. If the civil and military personnel are not united, the soldiers cannot display their talents, so they must be defeated. If the soldiers collapse, the commander is alone and die one after another. You should learn this lesson, coordinate the generals, and don’t learn the bad looks of those staff members. From this time, Li Shanchang followed Zhu Yuanzhang wholeheartedly. In recent years, he has made a lot of contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang "going to Chuyang, being a staff officer, preparing for the opportunity, and giving the salary."

After conquering Jiqing, Zhu Yuanzhang was considering his achievements and ordered Li Shanchang to be the capital of the Marshal's Office and to conquer Jiqing (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). Zhu Yuanzhang was appointed as the Secretary of the Jiangnan Army, and he used him as a senator. He ruled the regulations on military advancement and retreat, rewards and punishments. Later, the Privy Council was changed to the Grand Governor's Office, and the Grand Governor's Office was also the Sima of the Grand Governor's Office and was promoted to the provincial governor's office. His official position was only under Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this time, Li Shanchang sat upright in the East Garden. He was about 40 years old, with a medium figure, wearing a white Confucian uniform, and half of the "Analects of Confucius" in his hand. He was handsome and made people feel good at it at first sight. Although he was a political consultant, his rank was much higher than Xu Da, Tang He, Chang Yuchun, Feng Guosheng, and Deng Yuyu, but he lost his arrogance and domineering feeling, and instead made people feel more intimate.

"Sir, have you heard about the recent incident?" There was a man sitting upright across from Li Shanchang. The man was about thirty years old and the scholar looked like a scholar, but he looked quite unsatisfied. He was thin and dry, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and his government was empty, as if a strong wind could blow away. Only his eyes were occasionally cunning, revealing greed and ferocity.
