Chapter 345 Second Negotiation
Because Ying Tianfu was on the edge of the Yangtze River, Tang He passed Taixing to the south and drove directly to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in a steam engine boat of the navy.
After several trainings, the war horses have also adapted to sailing on the warship. The warship is very stable on the Yangtze River. Unlike in the sea, the warhorse is estimated to be seasick.
In this way, when it comes to Yingtianfu, it is already the Lantern Festival.
If there is no task, Tang He is still very excited to see his former brother. However, thinking of his purpose this time and the fact that it is not righteous enough, Tang He is a little big-headed.
Today's Yingtianfu, the former Jiqing Road, is also full of vitality under the jurisdiction of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that those who won the hearts of the people won the world. Therefore, after entering the city, he did not dare to disturb the people. The former pirate leader who made mistakes has been brought to justice by him, which has improved his position in the hearts of the people. What the people need is a good official who is the master for the people, but no matter whether the official above him is the Yuan Dynasty. It was still the Song Dynasty, or set up a new dynasty by myself.
Both sides of the Qinhuai River have begun to appear and restore the former prosperity.
Tang He disembark at the ferry near Yingtianfu and met his old acquaintance Zhou Dexing to pick him up.
"Dexing, I'm so happy to see you." Tang He shouted as soon as he saw Zhou Dexing.
"Brother Dingchen, if you can come to Yingtianfu this time, we can have a few more drinks." Zhou Dexing also said.
Looking at the guards coming down from the ship and the sky they carried on their backs, Zhou Dexing swallowed and spit: "Let's go, let's go to the city!"
"Okay." Tang He said, holding Zhou Dexing's hand. As they walked, they talked about something about the past.
The guards led the horses and followed them.
"Where's Xu Da? Where is Guo Ying? Why didn't you see them?" Tang He suddenly asked.
"They were still there a few days ago. It seems that the eldest brother has something to do these days and asked them to go out to do business." Zhou Dexing said.
"Oh, alas, I thought I could see them, but it seems that I have to wait for the next time."
The two people in front are talking casually, but the two hundred-person teams behind have been paying attention to the movement around them. After all, this time is not to be a guest, but to negotiate. Once they can't reach a close, it is likely that something will happen.
Looking at the banners fluttering on the head of the city and the army with bright clothes, Tang He said, "Over the past eight years, the achievements have not been small. This celebration is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
Hearing this, Zhou Dexing looked a little dissatisfied: "Brother Dingchen, now that the eldest brother is the head of one side, I'm afraid it's better not to mention this childhood nickname."
Zhu Yuanzhang is already their master and the object of their followers. Although he has been playing since childhood, who dares to shout to his face?
"Where, Dexing, Zhu Baba, will always be Zhu Baba." Suddenly, another voice came to my ear.
The two looked up and saw that the man coming down from the city was Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Brother Dingchen, how are you?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Now Zhang Shicheng has developed into a prince. Although he is now a provincial leader of the imperial court, Mr. Zhang is in the heart of Cao Ying in the Han Dynasty. In the future, Mr. Zhang will have a great future."
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Tang He's face turned red. "Yes, my lord is righteous and bold, and his subordinates are full of food. In this world, it is the capital to dominate the world."
Seeing an old acquaintance and hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Tang He put down his guard. As a result, as soon as the words came out, he leaked the bottom.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew it in his heart, but his face was still calm. If he dominates the world, I should guard such a small territory. If he dominates the world, does he even dominate me?
"Nowadays, Mr. Zhu occupies the right time and place. Why did he suddenly stop when he fought hard?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.
"Well, of course, it's because of the shortage of troops..." Suddenly, Tang He found that he had said something wrong. Didn't he leak military secrets?" The weather is really nice today. He immediately changed the topic.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Yes, today is the Lantern Festival. On Yingtianfu Street, there is a lively lion dance performance, and there will be fireworks in the evening. Since Brother Dingchen is here, let's stay for a few more days to see the hustle and bustle of Yingtianfu."
"This is not necessary. I have something important to do here. Now the military affairs of Gaoyoufu is busy, and I really can't get rid of it." Tang He said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang He knew that he seemed to have said something wrong again. Why did he always involuntarily reveal his inner feelings?
Of course, Tang He didn't know, or unconsciously, his childhood playmate deliberately talked with him, which made him relax his vigilance. The tone between the lines was enough for Zhu Yuanzhang to boil down enough information.
Zhu Yuanzhang was secretly happy in his heart. He guessed that he was right. Zhang Shicheng was a little indecisive and lacked the temperament necessary to become a hegemon: determination. He occupied so many places. In order not to affect the livelihood of the people, he only recruited tens of thousands of people. If he had been himself, he would have expanded his army to four or four or four thousand. Even if his troops were heavily equipped, the number of people was too small. He occupied a large territory, and the disadvantage would be immediately revealed.
Now, in Gaoyou Mansion, I'm afraid there are not a few thousand garrisons in total. If you want to defend such a large area, it can be said that there are loopholes everywhere. Xu Da can go here and make great achievements.
In order to ensure Xu Da's success, Tang He has to stay here for a while. When Xu Da succeeds, he will make it clear to Tang He. At that time, Tang He will definitely think that there is something wrong with Zhang Shicheng. At that time, Tang He has no way to go. Coupled with the dissuasion of his brothers, Tang He may still follow himself. Myself.
It's really a good trick to kill two birds with one stone. Zhu Yuanzhang is a little proud.
"Eighty-eight, Shixin, where are they? I want to see them first. Tang He said.
"They are very good, Brother Dingchen. Since we have come to Yingtianfu, our brothers can easily get together again, so let's have fun first." Zhou Dexing said.
Although Tang He has been busy with military affairs, he knows that now is not the time to catch up.
"No, this time, my eldest brother only gave me five days. Time is tight. Wait until the tars are driven away. At that time, let's get together again and have a good drink." Tang He said.
"It's okay. Five days is long enough. Let's go to the Qinhuai River first. There are all Peugeot women inside. I'm sure you will be satisfied." Zhou Dexing said.
"The five days I said, including the round-trip, was delayed for two days on the road, so I can only stay here for one day at most." Tang He said.
"It seems that Gaoyou really can't leave you for a day." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Okay, since Brother Dingchen is pressed for time, then come to Yingtianfu Ya."
Tang He's sentence is true. Nothing can be delayed, and it will change later. Zhu Yuanzhang's request is too harsh. If he can agree to his request, it's best. If he doesn't agree, he has to think of other ways. Zhang Yang comes from later generations and knows this trick of officialdom too much.
Zhang Yang is in Hangzhou and is already preparing a second set of plans to rescue Shixin and others by force! The intelligence team sent by Luo Guanzhong in advance has entered Yingtianfu and began to collect all kinds of favorable information.
And Zhu Yuanzhang understood that Gaoyou Mansion must be very empty, and there was even no general. He couldn't help but be a little compladent. He chose this opportunity too suitable. This Shixin really rained in time and sent such a big gift to himself.
Through the downtown, Tang He came to the government office of Yingtianfu.
Looking up, the three words Ying Tianfu were hanging high in the middle of the door. Tang He was already a little moved. What does the word Ying Tian mean?
Tui Tian said: one heaven, two young days, three ordinary days, four Shuntian, five heavens, six against the sky, seven pick the sky, eight take the sky, nine take the sky. This is the celestial image reasoned by Taihao Fuxi with a simple diagram. It shows that the performance of people's ideological progress has developed from everything to Yingtian. Yingtian means to ring the sky. People are very devout and do not go against the ideas of heaven, just for the needs of life.
Tang and lifting his legs just want to enter the government office.
The two hundred-man teams behind them also wanted to enter, but they were stopped by a sentry.
"What? Can't my people go in?" Tang He asked.
"Dingchen, coming here is the same as coming to your own home. These brothers are exhausted. There is a hotel nearby. Let them rest early." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Tang He knew that the other party was afraid of his team. After all, at this time, the prestige of Tianque had spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. The force of his team had been able to catch up with a thousand-person team and bring them all into the government office, which seemed inappropriate.
"You are waiting here to show the dignity of our soldiers." Tang He said.
Since you have come here, you might as well show that your soldiers are well trained and let them wait here. In case something happens, as long as their fire rings, they can rush in.
All the soldiers stood in a military posture, which was also the content of the training at the beginning. Standing like this, there was absolutely no problem for an hour.
"Go, go in." Tang Bu ignored the surprised eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhou Dexing and took the lead in.
The neat and uniform movements surprised Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhou Dexing. They secretly thought that even their most elite troops were not so unrestrained.
"Now we are all anti-Yuan allies. We should take care of each other, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He said.
"Of course, so we resisted the millions of troops of the imperial court in the Gaoyou Mansion, and the other rebels around us had a chance to turn over, right?" Tang He said.
"Well, in the battle of Gaoyou Mansion, the court really exhausted its vitality. Mr. Zhang's battle is famous in history." Zhu Yuanzhang skillfully took it over and then said, "Mr. Zhang is righteous and Bo Yuntian. Now our army is in trouble and needs his help. Five thousand catties of fine iron and a thousand pieces of Tianque. Mr. Zhang is really interesting."
Tang He's heart sank. When did he say he promised you?
