Zhao Min smiled slightly and said: "Dirty words, how much dirtier can they be?"
"For me personally, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Wuji are not qualified to insult me."
"As for Dayuan, I believe what they said is true."
After hearing this, Han Yulou could only sigh helplessly.
Then, he handed the copied anti-Yuan manifesto to Zhao Min.
"According to the will of heaven, the Mongols were tyrannical and had no ethics or laws, and there was no peace and prosperity..."
Zhao Min just took a look and burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, nice words and characters."
"What he said was just right and every word was true."
"These few hundred words clearly describe everything the Mongols did in the past hundred years."
"Well written, very well written."
"What a pity, I am not on Zhang Wuji and the others' side, otherwise, just these few hundred words would make my blood boil."
After thinking for a moment, Han Yulou said to Zhao Min, "Your Majesty, shouldn't we also announce something to the world?"
Zhao Min was stunned when she heard this, and then she said: "Master, do you mean that we should also issue a manifesto to fight against the enemy?"
Han Yulou nodded and said: "Yes, that's what I meant."
"It is impolite not to reciprocate."
"They have their reasons, and we have ours."
"At least in terms of momentum, you can't lose."
Zhao Min sighed and said, "In terms of momentum, I'm afraid I would have lost long ago."
"During the more than one hundred years that our Yuan Dynasty has ruled China, we have never cared about the people's hearts and opinions."
"The Mongols have plundered the people's wealth for more than a hundred years. Even if we issue a manifesto to fight against them, how many people will respond?"
"I'm afraid that the anti-rebel manifesto will be lost in the sea before it even leaves Yuan Dadu."
Han Yulou knew that what Zhao Min said was right, but it would be unreasonable to do nothing.
Helplessly, Han Yulou could only continue to ask Zhao Min: "Your Majesty, are we just going to let Zhang Wuji, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others do whatever they want now?"
Zhao Min said: "If the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. Apart from this, I really can't think of what else we can do."
"There is no need to sow discord between Zhang Wuji and Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Those two bastards are only on the surface now, but they are actually at odds with each other."
"If I hadn't died, they might have been able to live in peace."
"If I die, they will probably start fighting immediately."
"But then again, we are not completely without advantages now."
"The Yuan Dynasty has become so chaotic."
"The Yuan Empire has brought disaster to the people of the Central Plains for hundreds of years. If it fails to pacify the world again, it will be at the mercy of others."
"For all the soldiers of our Yuan Dynasty, it is either life or death."
"Today, even if we want to return to the grassland, it is not an easy thing."
…
Finally, at Han Yulou's repeated request.
Zhao Min still issued a manifesto, but it was not a manifesto to attack Zhang Wuji and Zhu Yuanzhang.
Instead, it was a manifesto to inspire all the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty.
The general meaning is that it is either life or death. If Zhang Wuji and Zhu Yuanzhang cannot be pacified, it will be impossible to retreat to the northern grasslands again in the future.
Inspired by this manifesto, the morale of the Yuan army was greatly improved.
After all, anyone with a brain can understand the interests involved.
…
Ten days later.
Zhang Wuji's army finally arrived at the foot of Longcheng. It took them ten days to walk a five-day journey.
Even the lowest-level soldiers felt it was too slow.
Yang Xiao called this a steady and cautious approach.
The steadier you walk, the more beneficial it will be to all the soldiers.
Of course.
As soon as Zhang Wuji's troops left Jinyang, spies from Jiangnan rode their horses at full speed to deliver the news to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the intelligence in his hand and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, that's great, Zhang Wuji moved, he finally moved."
Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and other generals standing by also burst into laughter.
Xu Da said to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Your Majesty, now that Zhang Wuji has taken action, shouldn't we also take action?"
"A bright future is waiting for us."
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen beside him: "Sir, how are our preparations for soldiers, food and wages going now?"
Liu Bowen said: "Your Majesty, since Poyang Lake, we have taken over the entire territory of Jiangnan."
"Both human and financial resources have been greatly supplemented."
"The speed of military expansion is even more astonishing."
"Now, the number of soldiers and horses we can mobilize is no less than 500,000."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter.
"Good, that's great. I never thought that our strength could expand so quickly."
"If all goes well, we will be able to unify the world within five years."
"People like Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji will never be our match."
As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his gaze to Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.
"Xu Da, Chang Yuchun obeys orders."
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun immediately knelt on the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I order the two of you to lead 200,000 soldiers each, march north from Longping Prefecture, and divide the troops into two groups to attack the Mongols."
"The marching speed does not need to be too fast, just move slowly. I believe that at this moment, Zhang Wuji is already under Longcheng, fighting with the Yuan army."
"Wait until both sides have depleted each other's strength, and then we will take down Yuan Dadu in one fell swoop."
Xu Chang and the other two quickly accepted the order.
After the two of them left, Liu Bowen said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the number of Mongol troops near Yuan Dadu is about 400,000."
"And Zhao Min is also a talented general who is not a good general."
"Relying solely on the troops of Xu and Chang, isn't it a bit insufficient?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "I naturally know what you are talking about."
"It is indeed a bit difficult to destroy Zhao Min with just the two of them and 400,000 soldiers and horses."
"But now is not the time for us to use our full strength."
"Only after Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min have consumed a certain amount of each other's strength can we launch a full-scale attack."
"When the most critical moment comes, I can also lead an army."
"We will take the water route and land at Dahukou. Then, the three armies will advance simultaneously. As long as one of them can break into the Yuan capital, the Mongol Yuan Dynasty's nearly 100-year rule over China will be over."
Liu Bowen quickly said: "Your Majesty's talent is unprecedented in history. An emperor like you may not appear in five hundred years."
"With three armies advancing in unison, the Mongols will surely be destroyed in your hands."
"After we defeat the Mongols, we will take advantage of the situation to have a decisive battle with Zhang Wuji."
"From now on, the world can be settled."
