Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times

Ding Yu, from Nanchangwei, had a smile on his face.

There was a hint of ruthlessness and confidence in that smile.

The method that Lord Tao told him was really good; it achieved several goals at once.

This directly caused Hu Weiyong immense pain.

He's gone mad.

He really put in a lot of effort in opposing the land survey.

Now, huge waves have arisen in the imperial court, with voices opposing the land survey and advocating for its postponement never ceasing.

In Jiangxi, the death of Hu Weiyong's son also stirred up a storm.

Now, the advantage lies with us.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to compromise.

Even if we send an official from the Ministry of Personnel, what difference will it make?

This won't solve the problem in Jiangxi either!
Even when the Ministry of Personnel's celestial official arrived, it was all bark and no bite.

Moreover, he was the commander of the Nanchang Garrison.

He held troops in his hands.

After a long period of management, Nanchangwei had become completely powerful, and all its soldiers obeyed its commands.

Let alone whether those people dare to go too far and humiliate me.

Even if it really is humiliating to oneself.

With troops at their disposal, those people wouldn't dare to go too far!
Things are settled!

As he was thinking this, someone came to report.

It is said that a large number of troops are rapidly approaching this place.

Upon hearing this report, Ding Yu was taken aback.

A large number of troops are heading his way?
This shouldn't be!
The soldiers from Jiangxi all knew each other.

Even if other guards were to arrive, they wouldn't come without prior notice.

Moreover, a group of twenty or thirty people is already quite large.

Now, he was shocked to learn that a large army was coming.

In just a moment, he figured out where this army came from.

It's highly likely that these were troops dispatched by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"how many people?"

"Reporting to the Commander, I fear... no less than five thousand..."

what? !

Ding Yu, who was already extremely surprised, became even more astonished after hearing this news.

"Immediately prepare for battle! Bring me my armor!"

He immediately gave the order.

This person has bad intentions!

What a huge mobilization!

What did Zhu Yuanzhang want to do?
As he spoke, he quickly got up and put on his armor.

As I stood up, I stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

It was clear that his emotions at that moment were far from as calm as they appeared...

……

At his command, the entire Nanchang Garrison sprang into action.

Before they could fully assemble, the main army had already arrived.

The leader, clad in full armor, exuded an imposing aura. He gripped a large bow and stared at the Nanchang Guard with icy eyes.

"Who goes there? How dare you cause trouble in Nanchangwei..."

On the Nanchangwei side, someone mustered up the courage to speak up and ask questions.

Before the words were even finished, a sharp twang of the bowstring rang out, followed by a scream, and the man collapsed to the ground.

"Ding Yu colluded with bandits to sell smuggled salt."

They also colluded with local forces to obstruct the imperial court's land survey by all means.

For this reason, they even went so far as to kill Prime Minister Hu's son!

They even framed and slandered those who were responsible for surveying and measuring land.

Stirring up the situation is a capital offense!

Lan Yu spoke up sharply, her voice filled with a strong sense of killing intent.

Ding Yu's expression immediately changed.

When he learned that the imperial court had sent so many troops, his heart sank.

At this moment, upon seeing that the person who had come was actually Lan Yu.

My heart sank even lower.

Then Lan Yu showed no mercy, shooting down one of his men who was shouting with an arrow, and then uttered those words.

That made me even more uneasy.

In fact, it could be described as being terrified to death!
He truly hadn't expected that after Lan Yu arrived with his army, he would utter such words without saying a single wasted word!

This is truly mortal danger!

Zhu Yuanzhang... how could he do such a thing?

How dare you do such a thing?!

Isn't he afraid of chaos in Jiangxi?

"Don't make false accusations! I never did such a thing..."

He spoke up in rebuttal.

"I have come here by imperial decree to handle affairs of the various guards in Jiangxi."

The fact that Nanchang Guard was controlled by bandits, who were corrupt, lawless, and betrayed the court had nothing to do with ordinary soldiers.

You all lay down your weapons immediately and stop getting involved!
Otherwise, kill without mercy!

All of them must be treated as treason!

Lan Yu completely ignored what Ding Yu said.

He raised a token high.

The Nanchangwei area was already in a state of turmoil due to the sudden incident.

After Lan Yu raised the token high, the atmosphere became even more chaotic.

Many people's expressions changed drastically.

And many people's gazes toward Ding Yu changed.

"No! You are not allowed to lay down your weapons!"

Don't listen to his nonsense!

Ding Yu looked at the crowd and shouted.

In Nanchang Guard, he has been the commander for a long time, and everyone has to listen to him!
"Yes, we'll all follow the commander's orders!"
"Do not lay down your weapons, or you will be killed!"

Some people echoed Ding Yu's shouts, staring fiercely at the surrounding generals and soldiers, their expressions menacing and threatening.

Faced with this situation, Lan Yu remained silent.

He simply hung the bow, raised his other hand high, and held up five fingers.

Then, one by one, they slowly curled downwards.

As he curled two fingers, some of the Nanchang Guards had already dropped their weapons.

And this incident seems to have triggered a chain reaction.

After someone started, the others dropped their weapons.

It emitted a series of metallic clanging sounds.

The Ming Dynasty of today is different from the Ming Dynasty of later years.

It has only been established for ten years.

With Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor, still alive, his control over the military was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

He was very authoritative in the military.

Even if an officer wanted to lead a rebellion against Zhu Yuanzhang, many ordinary soldiers would not follow.

Not to mention that at this time, their emperor sent Lan Yu, leading so many elite troops, and just arrived here to publicly announce Ding Yu's death sentence.

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely strict in governing his army, and military law was as solid as a mountain. Lan Yu was here on imperial orders.

Even though Ding Yu's control over Nanchang Guard was undeniably strong on a regular basis.

However, when Zhu Yuanzhang's order came, he, as the commander of Nanchang Guard, was still nothing.

Apart from a few die-hard loyalists of Ding Yu, no one else will follow Ding Yu.

They went against the court, against the court, against their emperor.

Ding Yu's expression changed drastically, and her body went limp. In such a short time, she had already suffered a brutal attack.

Originally, he felt that he had a very deep control over Nanchangwei.

With just a word from him, countless people would have to obey him.

At this moment, Lan Yu arrived with his troops and revealed the token bestowed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

He then realized how terribly wrong he had been in the past!

It turns out, it was all an illusion.

The emperor is still the same old emperor!
The troops will still listen to him!
In a short moment, his face turned ashen.

There was no need for the emperor to come in person; he only sent Lan Yu, and Lan Yu had already easily crushed him.

Compared to that dog emperor, I am far inferior!
With a bang, another sound rang out.

Ding Yu then threw the spear he was holding onto the ground.

For him, his greatest source of confidence lay in the troops he commanded.

But at this moment, this greatest reliance has been completely lost and shattered in that short instant.

In this situation, how should he confront Lan Yu?
If we don't take the initiative, then Lan Yu won't even need to lift a finger in the future.

Judging from this situation, all that's needed is for Lan Yu to give the order.

People from Nanchangwei would decisively take action against them.

Take yourself down.

By then, everything will become even more undignified.

So... so it was all a lie.
It turns out that I am so far inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang!

Seeing Ding Yu throw down his weapon, the people of Nanchang Guard, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief.

Some of them were genuinely worried that Ding Yu would put up a stubborn resistance.

If that really happens, things will become somewhat difficult.

Regardless of the circumstances, Ding Yu was the commander.

There was some affection involved.

Since this has happened, they will inevitably have to take action against Ding Yu.

Although doing so is somewhat undignified.

Some people, however, worried that if Ding Yu resisted stubbornly, it might implicate them.

Lan Yu, that jinx, wouldn't care about so much.

"Open the camp gates, and I'll surrender!"

Ding Yu raised his voice and spoke.

At his command, the camp gates were opened.

Ding Yu turned around and climbed down from the camp wall.

Judging from his appearance, everyone knew that he had surrendered without resistance.

However, the next moment, an accident occurred.

After descending the stockade wall, Ding Yu, who initially appeared to be heading out of the camp, suddenly changed direction and sprinted towards the depths of the camp.

They looked like they were trying to escape through the back gate of the camp.

Upon seeing this scene, many people in Nanchangwei were taken aback.

Clearly, no one expected that Ding Yu, a commander who was considered quite capable and principled by many, would make such a choice at this moment.

After the initial shock, someone immediately shouted, "Ding Yu, you scoundrel! Where do you think you're going?"

"Quick! Quick! Catch him! Don't let him get away!"

Many people in Nanchangwei shouted out.

Immediately, many soldiers and officers moved to chase after and stop Ding Yu.

"Insolence! Anyone who wants to die dares to stop me? I'll skin you alive!"

Ding Yu shouted loudly, full of momentum.

Murderous aura rushed towards his face.

Unfortunately, this tactic did not work.

In the past, if Ding Yu had said such things, who in Nanchangwei would have dared to offend him?

Don't we all have to behave ourselves?
But now, his words no longer carry any weight as the commander.

His many powers and prestige all stemmed from the emperor's appointment.

Therefore, in just a short while, Ding Yu was knocked to the ground, tied up, and taken outside Nanchang Guard.

He should be handed over to Lan Yu for disposal.

"let me go!
"You scoundrels, how dare you defy your superiors?"

He glared at them coldly and shouted angrily.

But it was of no use.

There was even someone who got punched twice by Bangbang.

Ding Yu shut her mouth.

I regretted it so much.

I misjudged the situation. I never expected Zhu Yuanzhang to be so lacking in military virtue, and to make such a huge decision in this matter!
Without giving himself much time to react, he immediately sent Lan Yu over!
He overestimated his authority in Nanchang.

I knew these sons of bitches were such bastards.

The moment I learned that Lan Yu was coming, I shouldn't have thought about putting on armor; I should have fled immediately!

Perhaps they can still find a way to escape.

Once he gets himself into the waterway, even if Zhu Yuanzhang wants to catch him again, he won't be able to!

Lan Yu paid no attention to the commotion that had occurred in Nanchang Garrison.

Even though he knew that Ding Yu might not be willing to surrender so easily.

And they weren't flustered at all.

Because he believed that most people in Nanchangwei would not be willing to follow Ding Yu to their deaths.

Of course, more importantly, after he arrived here, he quickly made some arrangements.

Troops have already been dispatched and have surrounded the camp of Nanchangwei.

As someone who frequently leads troops, how could he possibly leave any loopholes for Ding Yu and his men to exploit?

impossible!

Lan Yu looked at Ding Yu, who had been brought before him, sitting on his horse, looking down at him, without saying a word.

He took the whip in his hand and lashed his face three times in quick succession.

Ding Yu was slapped so hard that his face was covered in blood.

Ding Yu, such a low-class person, dares to act so arrogantly and abuse his power in the local area.
Knowing that they had come under orders and with such a large army, they didn't think of surrendering immediately, but instead dared to resist?

With a wave of his hand, his numerous soldiers filed in, weapons at their disposal.

They entered Nanchangwei.

They quickly took control of Nanchangwei.

At the same time, many mid- to high-ranking officers of the Nanchang Guard were also taken into custody.

Next, professionals will conduct appropriate trials on these individuals.

Judging from their usual behavior, they should be killed or buried as appropriate.

Nanchang will definitely need to be thoroughly cleaned up.

Let's kill some people properly and refresh the blood.

Not only Nanchangwei, but also the other three garrisons in Jiangxi Province sent troops there.

Do something similar.

And the development of events was basically no different from that of Nanchangwei.

Regardless of how arrogant and domineering these people were before.

The imperial court dispatched a large army on Zhu Yuanzhang's orders, but once they got serious, the situation quickly deteriorated.

Of course, there were also some who were not thinking clearly and wanted to fight to the death.

His fate was also clearly predetermined.

Before the imperial troops could even make a move, their own men in the garrison had already dealt with them.

Killed on the spot!

As it turns out, compared to Zhu Yuanzhang, these local people were truly incompetent.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not emperor for nothing.

He can eliminate corrupt officials as easily as cutting grass, and the world remains calm because of his confidence.

Meanwhile, Yang Yun, Lan Yu, and others arrived in Jiangxi and began cleaning up the area with the speed and efficiency of a whirlwind.

Hu Weiyong, in this instance, delivered a fatal blow to Zhu Yuanzhang! (End of Chapter)
