Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times

Chapter 277 The Emperor's Sword is Drawn

Hu Weiyong smiled happily.

But beneath this happiness lurked a chilling ruthlessness!
it is good!
They've been mobilized!

This time, they can really give Zhu Yuanzhang and his men a hard time!

Could they succeed in rebelling against Zhu Yuanzhang? Could they kill Zhu Yuanzhang directly?

He wasn't really sure about this.

He naturally wanted Zhu Yuanzhang to die, and hoped to tear Zhu Yuanzhang to pieces!
They seized the Zhu family's empire, which he valued most!

Zhu Yuanzhang was truly inhuman, bullying me at every turn.

If it weren't for his insistence on surveying and measuring the land, how could Tianci have lost his life?
In truth, Zhu Yuanzhang was the biggest culprit in the death of his own son!
If we don't kill this scoundrel, it will truly be infuriating.

Just thinking about it makes me so angry that I can't sleep at night.

Zhu Yuanzhang deserved to die; he was guilty and deserved his fate!
It is the greatest injustice to target others but not Zhu Yuanzhang!
Of course, killing Zhu Yuanzhang and seizing his empire would be the best outcome.

It doesn't matter if we can't seize his kingdom.

The commotion he caused could at least bring Zhu Yuanzhang a great deal of trouble.

They turned the Ming Dynasty into a complete mess.

To create as much trouble as possible for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Try to involve as many people as possible.

Tang Shengzong, Fei Ju, and their ilk want to just follow behind and reap the benefits without contributing anything in return. How is that possible?

Regardless of whether I can succeed here, it would be great if I could.

If they fail, they will inevitably expose them.

They were dragged into it.

Let them all die along with them!
Let the Ming Dynasty shed its blood!

Let the blood of the Ming Dynasty flow like rivers!
Let's see if Zhu Yuanzhang will kill him or not!
Killing them would be best, so that so many people could be buried with them.

To ensure that her son's death was not in vain.

It's not entirely unacceptable for so many people to be buried with their son.

It's something I, as a father, should do for my son.

With so many people killed and such a huge upheaval caused, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to remain completely unaffected.

This caused serious turmoil within the Ming Society.

Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang always regard the Ming Dynasty as his lifeblood?
Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang always dream of making the Ming Dynasty prosperous and surpassing the Han and Tang dynasties?
Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang want to enable the vast majority of people to live a good life?

Then I'll give him a big surprise!
Give him a chance, let him kill until the blood flows like a river?
Let's see if he can still make the Ming Dynasty better after killing so many people and committing so many atrocities!

He was determined to do everything in his power to ruin his Ming Dynasty!
I'm going to pee all over his face!
Even if he dies, at least we should take a few pieces of flesh from him.

We need to let this guy know that Hu Weiyong is not someone to be trifled with!

I know that Hu Weiyong's son is someone who can't afford to die!
Whoever harmed his son must pay with their life!
Not only should they pay with their lives, but many more people should pay with their lives!

Tao Wuzhong and Ding Yu from Jiangxi, none of them will live!
Not only that, but he also wants to drag even more marquises into it!

They also dragged in more nobles from the Huaixi region.

Wasn't Zhu Yuanzhang always ruthless?
Haven't you always disliked the noble families of Huaixi?
This time, I'll give him a big surprise.

Let's see if he dares to kill again, and if he's even capable of killing!

Die!

All of you die!
May they all die!

His eyes were now filled with a sense of madness.

He didn't care about the throne.

He did these things not because he actually wanted to become emperor.

I just want to create a lot of trouble to vent my frustration!

And teach Zhu Yuanzhang and others a harsh lesson!

He also wanted to give his son the most extravagant funeral imaginable!

May more people die along with his son!
This is what he wants to do most!

After sitting there for a while, he began to write a letter.

He prepared to send someone with his letter to certain places.

One is the Northern Yuan, the second is Japan, and the third is the Liang King of the Southwest.

He needs to send someone to contact the people in these three places.

They are asked to join forces here in the future to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang committed far too many sins.

Throughout the world, countless people hate that Zhu Yuanzhang is not dead.

Among them, the people of the Northern Yuan were definitely the ones who most wanted to see Zhu Yuanzhang die suddenly.

Not only did Zhu Yuanzhang drive the Northern Yuan to the grasslands, he also sharpened his sword, preparing to completely exterminate the Northern Yuan and leave them no way out.

They've already cornered Beiyuan.

In this situation, we should send someone to deliver such a message.
The Northern Yuan will surely agree readily.

Then they joined forces with their own side to launch a major offensive against the Ming Dynasty.

After successfully assassinating Zhu Yuanzhang, who were the most feared people?

That would naturally be Xu Da, who commanded the army and was stationed in the north.

Xu Da was too loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang; he would definitely go mad after learning what he had done.
Leading troops to oppose oneself regardless of the consequences.

At this point, the role of the Northern Yuan becomes apparent.

The Northern Yuan, of course, would not easily let this opportunity pass.

This would allow him to effectively control Xu Da's large army and give himself enough time to do his own thing.

The King of Liang in the southwest would also readily agree to his proposal.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang wasn't just eyeing the northern grasslands.

At the same time, they were also sharpening their knives at the King of Liang in the southwest, wanting to get rid of him.

Previously, they had even considered sending officials there to persuade them to surrender.

This would force the King of Liang, who occupied the southwest, to surrender without resistance.

Unfortunately, it's simply impossible.

Instead, the King of Liang killed Zhu Yuanzhang's envoy.

It caused quite a bit of trouble.

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang has even sent Feng Sheng to Guangzhou to oversee the situation.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense could see what Zhu Yuanzhang's intentions were.

Naturally, they wanted to use this method to take action against the King of Liang.

Even people like us can see it.

As the target of this attack, the King of Liang would feel an even stronger sense of urgency.

At this point, I sent someone to deliver such a letter and made an agreement with them to take action.

This was a timely and much-needed help, exactly what they wanted.

They will certainly be eager to agree.

Then, make active preparations for future actions, so that you can tie down a lot of troops and manpower in the south.

This will deter them from acting recklessly again.

As for Japan, they also had a deep grudge against Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang also intended to take action against Japan.

Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang, that disgraceful fellow, sent envoys to Japan.

We need to get the Japanese to come and pay tribute.

They also allowed the Japanese to control the Japanese pirates.

But the result?

The envoy sent by Zhu Yuanzhang was also killed by the Japanese. Although the matter seemed to have passed on the surface, given Zhu Yuanzhang's petty nature, how could it possibly be over?
In particular, Zhu Yuanzhang has now established the Maritime Trade Office and set up a fleet at sea to protect the Maritime Trade Office when it goes out to sea to do business.

This process dealt a severe blow to the pirates.

The prevalence of Wokou (Japanese pirates) in Japan can be considered a significant source of income for the country.

But now, Zhu Yuanzhang is doing this.

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents.

The things Zhu Yuanzhang did have already made many people in Japan feel dissatisfied and uneasy.

There were old grudges to begin with, and now new ones have been added.

There are already some connections between our region and Japan.

If we send people to Japan again to persuade them and agree to take action, it is still possible to do so.

Japan certainly wouldn't refuse.

The mere fact that Zhu Yuanzhang was killed was exciting enough.

Not to mention, I was also prepared to offer them some very favorable terms.

For example, after the matter was accomplished, the Ming Dynasty continued to enforce the maritime ban.

The government does not conduct business at sea.

Even if they were doing business, they wouldn't engage in a life-or-death struggle with the Japanese pirates.

This would allow Japanese pirates to openly plunder at sea.

It wouldn't hurt to even plunder the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.

This alone is enough to make them grateful.

That's enough to make them eager to come and join us in taking action.

As for the Northern Yuan, he also gave them the same conditions.

For example, once the matter is accomplished, the original Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun can be returned to the Northern Yuan.

Let the Northern Yuan continue to occupy it.

And to end the war with the Northern Yuan.

We can also cede some land to the Liang King in the southwest.

Since there's so much land, it won't hurt to harvest more.

These are all places that Zhu Yuanzhang conquered, and he doesn't care about the loss at all!

He knew, of course, that if he did that, many people would dislike him and hurl insults at him.

Some even called themselves puppet emperors and traitors.

He didn't care about any of that.

Let them curse!

My own son is dead, why should I be afraid of them cursing me?

As long as he could avenge his son, as long as he could utterly destroy Zhu Yuanzhang's empire.

Even if they curse, it doesn't matter.

After I die, who cares about the deluge?
These are the people who wronged themselves first!
If you want political infighting, then so be it; it doesn't matter how you wage it.

He wouldn't have such a big reaction here.

But who told these people to kill his own son?

Since they've already killed their son, why should we be polite to them?
Do whatever makes you comfortable!
So what if many people die?

Let's not say it's just about giving up some space.

Even if we give up all the space.

It wouldn't hurt if the Yuan Dynasty entered the Central Plains and then came back to rule!

He won't have any objections!
Zhu Yuanzhang will regret this!
Tao Wuzhong and others will also regret it.

But it was too late for them to regret it; the damage was irreversible!

Unless my own Tianci can come back to life, I will fight them to the death!
……

Inside the Wuying Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the intelligence report that had been delivered to him.

A smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Lu Zhongheng, Fei Ju, Tang Shengzong, Zhu Liangzu... have all gone?
it is good!
Very good!
As expected, Hu Weiyong did not disappoint him and was about to launch a rebellion ahead of schedule.

Taowu and his group did a good thing over there!
If it weren't for them killing Hu Weiyong's son...

It was clearly impossible for Hu Weiyong to take action so quickly.

He had been eagerly anticipating this for a long time.

Hu Weiyong did the same thing in his previous life.

However, the purge of Emperor Shengzong of Tang, Lu Zhongheng, and others was not carried out immediately.

Instead, he waited until he stabilized the situation before launching the second Hu Weiyong case to deal with them.

Since we're already here, none of us will escape!
I have to take care of them all as soon as possible!

Hu Weiyong has done a great thing!

If he didn't rebel, how could I possibly kill him in a reasonable and justifiable way?

If they don't rebel, it will be even more difficult for them to abolish the prime minister system and do something unprecedented in history.

There will be a lot of opposition.

If he doesn't rebel and drag these people into it, how can he reasonably and logically eliminate all the scoundrels and parasites among the Huaixi nobles in one fell swoop?
How can we make our Ming Dynasty more pure?

It would be better if more fat worms died!
Hu Weiyong's actions were commendable; they truly helped him greatly.

Hu Weiyong was truly a good person!

Otherwise, considering the merits that Emperor Shengzong and others had made, as well as their special status and position,

Getting rid of them won't be easy.

The key issue is public opinion, which is not easy to manage.

It can easily cause social unrest.

But if they are foolish enough to collud with Hu Weiyong and rebel against themselves...

Then killing them myself would be perfectly justifiable and aboveboard.

Even the other nobles could not plead for them in this matter.
You can't admit that you did something wrong.

They even applauded and cheered.

However, some aspects of history have ultimately changed.

Not only did Hu Weiyong's rebellion occur earlier than expected.

Moreover, there have been many changes in the types of rebels that have been won over.

For example, in his previous life, when he rebelled, he invited Li Shanchang's younger brother to join him.

He even sent Li Shanchang's younger brother, Li Cunyi, to persuade Li Shanchang to join him in taking action.

But this time, Li Cunyi was nowhere to be found.

Without even looking, it was clear that he had seen Li Shanchang act as his lackey and dared not do so again.

He feared that Li Shanchang would expose the fact that he had won over Li Cunyi as soon as he found out.

In his previous life, Hu Weiyong also won over the Northern Yuan, Japan, and the Liang King in the southwest.

They want to launch a multi-pronged attack, working together.

They'll probably use this tactic again this time.

In his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang read many discussions about Hu Weiyong's rebellion.

Many of them said they had done something wrong.

They claimed that they had intentionally exaggerated the situation and that Hu Weiyong was innocent.

Those people didn't know the truth, and Hu Weiyong was truly not wronged at all.

Just based on what he did, not to mention anything else, just the fact that he contacted people from the Northern Yuan and Japan and made promises was enough to kill him ten or eight times over!
Zhu Yuanzhang drew his Emperor's Sword and examined it closely.

This sword should be drawn; it should draw blood!
