Chapter 868 : The crime of hanging people
The weather in the south of the Yangtze River in October is good, and the winter scenery is like spring.
The frost is light and the grass is not killed, and the sun is warm and the desert is dry.
The leaves of the old zhezi are as yellow as tender trees, and the branches of the cold cherry blossoms are white as wild flowers.
At this time, I envy the idle people who are drunk and have no way to enter the restaurant.
This poem "Early Winter" by the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi can be said to describe the unique scene of early winter in the south of the Yangtze River. After experiencing the heat of the heat, Jinling City has entered the first day of winter. Although the spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is infinite, Jinling is now filled with a cold winter atmosphere, with a gloomy and dry night sky. It is estimated that a heavy snow will come in a while.
But at this moment, General Xiao Shen's home was very lively and he didn't feel the coldness of the middle of winter. The maids, servants, guards, and the old housekeeper all looked happy and went in and out. From time to time, he heard the old housekeeper Xu Tao shouting casually: "Slow down, count... that person... Has the hot water been boiled...?"
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Will Mr. Xu give the hot water to the master or... the young one bring it in directly...?"
"The bastard... you can also enter the room...? Xu Tao shouted, walked over and patted the servant's head.
"Why can't I go in? I usually make hot water for my wife?" The servant looked confused and at a loss.
A burst of laughter broke out in the crowd, which immediately reduced the coldness in the yard.
Xu Tao glared at the busy people angrily, and angrily said, "Why are you laughing at?" After saying that, he turned his face and glared at the servant, and said, "It's okay normally, but today's not! Just bring this hot water to the master!"
"Why can you do it on weekdays, but not today? Did you do something wrong with me?" The servant was reluctant to give in. His childish look made Xu Tao feel a little amused.
"This, go back and ask your mother?" Xu Tao threw away his words in anger and left without looking back.
When his figure disappeared in the backyard, the servant stuck out his tongue at his figure, "What's so great? I'll go back and ask my mom?"
A burst of laughter erupted.
In front of the door of the wing on the left side of the backyard, a purple robe with a jade belt on his waist. His face was as beautiful as jade, his facial features were delicate, and a piece of purple jade on his waist kept flipping and shaking as he walked back and forth, but his whole body was handsome and handsome, with a masculine atmosphere.
At this time, he frowned and made a light call from time to time. His eyes looked into the door from time to time. He heard a little movement. He jumped over, lay in front of the door, looked at the gap for a while, and shouted nervously: "What's going on...What's going on...What's going on...
Amid the sound of rumbling over boxes and cabinets inside, a crisp female voice came out and said, "What are you anxious about? Is it yours not going to run away?"
"You damn girl... are you going to have fun with your husband, right...? Be careful that my family law will be served at night, so that you can taste this heart-wrenching pain as soon as possible...?"
This person is nothing else, but Xiao Yun, the head of the family in the general's mansion. He lay in front of the door and cursed in an ambiguous tone.
"I hate it... I don't want it?" Although the woman in the room spoke firmly, her tone was quite ambiguous.
"Xiaodie... stop talking to your husband... Sister Lan'er probably wants to..." The woman called Xiaodie exclaimed and no sound, but the heart-wrenching sound in the room was heard from time to time outside the door.
"This girl is getting more and more courageous, and she is less and less concerned about me, her husband! When Lan'er is born, how can I clean up at night?" Xiao Yun lay on the crack in the door and gritted his teeth and said.
It is now the 23rd year of Zhizheng, and it has been two years since the Longwan War. Xiao Yun did not expect that in just two years, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, who was arrogant at the time, had such a big change? Both of them are contemporary heroes. Since the Battle of Longwan, there have been many small fights between them. First, after Chen Youliang successfully developed a secret weapon in Zhizheng 21st year, Chen Youliang, who had always been obsessed with warships, couldn't wait to take action in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Chen Youliang considered that Xinzhou was an important barrier east of Jiangzhou and Longxing, and if Xinzhou was taken back, the connection between Chang Yuchun, Opxiang's troops west of Xinzhou and Zhu Yuanzhang on the east side could be cut off, so he sent Li Mingdao and Wang Haner to lead an army of 60,000 to attack Xinzhou. Li Mingdao and Wang Haner were originally rising stars in Youliang's army, among which Wang Haner was the second brother of Wang Pu, the guard general of Jianchang under Youliang. Because of his bravery in combat, he was promoted from deputy general to general in the army with Li Mingdao.
The two led an army of 100,000 with the weapons secretly developed by Chen Youliang, and set out from Jiangzhou and attacked Xinzhou directly.
At this time, Hu Dahai was ordered to guard the army. He could hold on Xinzhou with the 80,000 elite soldiers in his hands alone. However, after Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news, he urgently sent Li Wenzhong to Xinzhou to merge with Hu Dahai's 80,000 elite soldiers, and annihilated the Han army led by Li Mingdao and Wang Haner in one fell swoop. However, before Li Wenzhong arrived in Xinzhou, Hu Dahai used an ambush to defeat the Han army in one fell swoop, and captured Li Mingdao and Wang Haner.
When Li Wenzhong arrived, Hu Dahai immediately handed over Li Mingdao, Wang Haner and Li Wenzhong to Li Wenzhong for handling. Li Wenzhong personally untied the ropes for Li Mingdao, Wang Haner and others, and then took them to Yingtian to introduce them to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Li Mingdao, Wang Han and two deeply felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was strict in the military, and was very kind and righteous, so he immediately expressed his surrender. Li Mingdao said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Chen Youliang killed the king and deceived the heavens, and the gods were angry. Most of his civil and military officials were dissatisfied. They were just afraid of the power of Chen and did not dare to act rashly. When the time came, everyone would turn him away. As far as we know, Hu Tingrui, who was named the prime minister of Jiangxi Province by Chen Youliang, was an old minister of Tianwan. On the surface, he surrendered to Chen, but in fact he was very dissatisfied with Chen. At present, although Chen Youliang was still stationed in Jiangzhou, there were less than 50,000 troops in Jiangzhou. If Minggong attacked Jiangzhou at this time, Hu Tingrui, who was stationed in Longxing, would definitely not fight to the death to rescue him. Therefore, Jiangzhou has actually become an isolated city. It is easy for Minggong to seize Jiangzhou!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had originally intended to attack Jiangzhou. At this time, he learned this important news. After making arrangements with Liu Bowen, in August of the 21st year of Zhizheng, Zhu Yuanzhang raised the banner of "suppressing the people and attacking the people, accepting surrenders", went up the river and personally conquered Chen Youliang.
