Fang Guoying had no idea, but after Fang Mingshan said this, he felt that this was a no-brainer, so he agreed happily.

That night, Fang Mingshan led 5,000 troops and launched a night attack while Zhu Liangzu's army had just set up camp and launched a night attack. Knowing that Zhu Liangzu was prepared for a long time, he had sent people to investigate the Fang family's every move. All Fang Mingshan's actions were investigated clearly by secret spies, so he calmly set up an ambush. When Fang Mingshan's five,000 troops rushed to the battalion commander, the Wu army, who was ambushing, took the opportunity to launch an attack. Zhu Liangzu took the lead and killed the enemy with a sword.

Fang Mingshan was not aware of it for a while, and the five thousand army was besieged by Zhu Liangzu's 30,000 troops. He fought overnight, leaving only Fang Mingshan's personal deputy general fled back to the Fang family mansion in Taizhou.

Zhu Liangzu did not do anything at once and led the elite troops to launch a strong attack overnight. Fang Guoying and Fang Mingshan were defeated by the army and fled overnight.

Zhu Liangzu led his army to chase after him. Until dawn, the army had already chased Fang Guozhen, Fang Guomin, Fang Mingshan and Fang family generals to Linhai. Fang Guozhen followed Linhai City, and the city was strong and defended the city. Zhu Liangzu did not dare to come forward. He sent a large army for several days to surround the four city gates of Linhai Mansion, east, south, north, east, south, and north, and left the middle gate without surrounding. The army set up camp and waited for Tang He and Liao Yongzhong's army to join the round before siegeing the city.

After reading this spy, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely happy. Once Fang Guozhen was eliminated, only Chen Youding from Fujian was left in Jiangnan. It was just around the corner to eliminate this person. In this way, Jiangnan had no worries and the Northern Expedition was even more at ease.

After a whisper, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the time was almost done, glanced at the ministers and said aloud: "This morning, the Lone King has a major event to discuss with all your beloved ministers. Please tell me more about your opinions?"

When the King of Wu spoke, the hall, which seemed a little noisy, became quiet immediately and everyone listened intently.

"The Tartars occupied the Han people for a hundred years. Now the Gu Wang has received the strong assistance of all my beloved ministers and occupied half of the Jiangnan country?" Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a moment, his eyes swept through the crowd. Seeing that the civil and military ministers in the hall were all solemn, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The Gu Wang learned from the spy that the Tartar emperor and the crown prince were fighting in the Tartars imperial city. Now the army of Dadu was taken to Guanzhong as soon as possible by Wang Baobao, Li Siqi and others. This is God-given to me Han people. The Gu Wang is not talented and is willing to lead the Han people to expel the Tartars and photovolve the Han people's country. This time, the Gu Wang wants to take the opportunity to take down Dadu, completely restore the Tartar desert, and restore the thousand-year territory of our Han people? I wonder what you all mean by you?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, the hall immediately became lively and everyone whispered, but Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others were unmoved to face Zhu Yuanzhang.

As the prime minister and the leader of all officials, Li Shanchang listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's words and thought for a while, and suddenly stood out from the line, held the tooth sign in his hand, made a series of things to Zhu Yuanzhang, and said aloud: "I wonder when your highness will be preparing to fight the Northern Expedition?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "This matter is of great importance. Generals, soldiers, and food are indispensable. Therefore, it is difficult for the lonely king to make up his mind for a while?" Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed a little worried. Although the Tartars had been fighting for many years and the state was greatly consumed, the Tartars' strength still existed and should not be underestimated. Moreover, since ancient times, it has been easy to unify the world from the north to the south, and there has never been a unified world from the south, which forced Zhu Yuanzhang to hesitate.

"There are some military tactics. Before the troops move, food and grass will go first. The Tartars have been fighting for years, and the Tartars are even more lewd and the people hate it. This time, the troops and horses of the capital are all rushing to Guanzhong is a good opportunity. In the eyes of the empress, the time for war with the Tartars is ripe. All they need is just a word from the prime minister?" Liu Bowen also stood up at this time and made a series of talks.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows. Zhu Yuanzhang completely saw the scholar's strength in Liu Bowen's ability, the battle of Longwan, the battle of Poyang Lake, and the battle of Anfeng, and heard this, "What do you mean by sir?"

Liu Bowen said: "If the Northern Expedition is not smooth, it will definitely be a protracted war. Jinling and Dadu are thousands of miles apart, not as good as Poyang Lake and Pingjiang Battles, they are all in the south of the Yangtze River. The food and grass are easy to operate. Once the war starts with the Tatars, the soldiers' food, pensions, money and grain, war horses, soldiers' armor, etc. are indispensable. In recent years, Your Highness has fought for many years. It is obviously not enough to rely on the food and grass in Jinling, Haozhou and other places. Moreover, I heard that there are many famines in Haozhou, Fengyang and other places, and the grain and grass production are reduced. At this time, the Northern Expedition, I was worried that the current national treasury would not be able to bear this war. As the head of all officials, the Prime Minister has been appeased by Jinling for many years and stabilized the rear. I have a lot of knowledge about this. If the Prime Minister believes that the national strength of Jinling is enough to bear this war, it is a good time, place, and people, and I can't think of any reason not to fight this war?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Sir, what is the right words? "Are you right words?" After saying that, he turned his face and glanced at Li Shanchang, and said, "Master--?"

Li Shanchang responded, made a series of thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, although the area of ​​Haozhou and Fengyang has reduced the yield of grain and grass due to natural disasters. In recent years, Your Highness attacked Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and Fang Guozhen, but most of them used war to support the war. In addition, Your Highness had practiced the nine-character mantra in the early years, building high walls, abundance of grain, and slowly becoming king. A lot of grain was accumulated in the Jinling land. After attacking Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, our Jinling territory expanded to the Jianghuai area, Jiangnan, Jianghuai and Bashu and other places in the Yangtze River and Huai area, and the climate was mild, and the grain had a bumper harvest. In addition, in recent years, Your Highness was thrifty and frugal, and the rice price in Jinling has always been the lowest in the country. Now Taicang has 2.6 million stones of grain, and the national treasury still has one million money. The arsenal contains 260,000 weapons, 80,000 horses, and a large amount of silk. According to the eyes of Weichen, it is enough to deal with Your Highness's Northern Expedition?"

Since Li Shanchang became the right prime minister, he has been a story of Ming Dynasty. He handled government affairs and ruled it like a stream, and the generals and officials obeyed the residents. The residents were in a state of security. He transferred troops and transferred funds to make money, restored the Huai salt, established tea laws, opened iron smelting, set fish tax, and the country's use was more abundant, but the people were not trapped. Zhu Yuanzhang believed in his words. When he heard that there was so much money, he felt relieved and smiled with a long sigh: "The prime minister has been stable in the years, and the troops and transfer funds to make money. The Lone King remembered it in his heart. Today, he learned that the national treasury still had surplus grain, and the Lone King loved to comfort him. This battle had the prime minister's food and grass and money support. The Lone King believed that this tough battle would definitely be able to win!"
