Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It is Zhang Wuji's ability to conquer Zhao Min. Most men cannot even look at a woman like her, but Zhang Wuji can make her give birth to his children obediently. I really don't know what kind of love potion Zhang Wuji gave her."
"However, now is not the time to study the trivial things they do in bed."
"If I, Zhu, can survive this and capture Zhao Min alive in future battles, I will naturally discuss with her in detail why she followed Zhang Wuji so wholeheartedly. But now, what we need to do is to survive the current predicament."
Liu Bowen said: "Your Majesty, our 200,000-strong army is too close to Zhang Wuji's troops. Now they are a victorious army, and their combat power and morale are far beyond our current level."
"The most urgent task is to keep as much distance as possible from them and not give them the opportunity to start a war, so as to consume them bit by bit in the vast land of Jiangnan."
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and said, "Let's do as you say, sir. However, I am worried that we will not be able to consume them, but will let them gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River little by little."
"If I had known the situation would develop into this, I would have let the Japanese run rampant for a while. In order to solve the lichen disease first, Zhang Wuji ended up becoming so powerful."
…
Although Zhu Yuanzhang had this thought in his heart, there was no such thing as regret medicine in this world. What's more, even if Zhu Yuanzhang was given another chance, he would most likely choose to first get rid of those Japanese who dared to invade China.
After all, the Japanese were, after all, foreign invaders.
…
Early the next morning, when Zhang Wuji and the women were enjoying a simple breakfast, a letter arrived from Yang Xiao's troops responsible for harassing Zhu Yuanzhang.
The attendant first handed the letter to Zhang Wuji, who took a quick look at it and then handed it to Zhao Min.
After reading it, Zhao Min laughed and said, "Haha, Zhu Yuanzhang is finished."
The girls beside her were puzzled, and Zhao Linger said, "What do you mean, sister? Can you explain it more clearly?"
Zhao Min laughed and said, "Zhu Yuanzhang fled. He had an army of 200,000 under his command, but he didn't think about how to fight a decisive battle with me, but fled. Because of the Japanese, Zhu Yuanzhang's 200,000 troops were trapped in the southeast."
"As for the thousands of miles of land south of the Yangtze River, all he had left were just a few strong cities. His Jiangnan region had collapsed and was about to reach a hopeless point. However, at this critical moment, he still chose to be cowardly and faced all this in a very passive manner. In this way, his actions may become more and more advantageous to us."
"Since he is already afraid of fighting, I am the only one left to beat him."
"As for the power vacuum areas in Jiangnan caused by the war, since Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want them anymore, we need to take over as soon as possible."
"In this way, we can make Jiangnan a place that can provide us with money and food as soon as possible."
"First stabilize the current situation, and then erode Zhu Yuanzhang bit by bit. In half a year, at most half a year, after half a year, Zhu Yuanzhang might surrender directly like I did back then."
After Zhao Minyan said this, the women present understood.
Zhao Linger said: "Sister Min'er is right. What we need to do most now is to stabilize the current situation. As long as we don't make any major mistakes, the future of the world will definitely belong to you."
"Come, let's raise our glasses together and wish the young master to conquer the world as soon as possible."
After the women accompanied Zhang Wuji to drink the cup, Zhao Min continued: "What I said just now is the advantage we have at the moment. If Zhu Yuanzhang continues to be so afraid of fighting, we will also have a disadvantage, that is, money and food. It is not an easy thing to make Jiangnan our supply base. It may be difficult for us in the next few months."
Zhang Wuji said: "Min'er, you worry too much. There are many wealthy families in Jiangnan. If we are short of money and food, we can just borrow from those wealthy families. With an army of hundreds of thousands, borrowing some food should not be a problem."
After hearing this, Zhao Min said contemptuously: "You enemy, you talk nicely, but do you really intend to pay it back?"
Zhang Wuji said: "When borrowing things, we must write an IOU. No matter what, we have to let the clans in Jiangnan see our attitude. As for whether they return it or not, that is a matter for the future."
"If I really take over this world, those creditors may not have the courage to come to me to collect the debt. If I fail to take over this world, the original loan will naturally become an empty talk. It may sound a bit shameless, but those aristocratic families in Jiangnan have stood in the world for at least hundreds of years. Most of the time, they make a living by drinking the blood of the people. If I really take over this world, I will probably not let them go."
After hearing this, Zhao Linger said, "Young Master, those aristocratic families you mentioned probably won't protect me. I'll use your back door so that you can spare me while you deal with those aristocratic families."
Zhang Wuji was stunned for a moment: "Sister. What are you talking about? Of course, the noble families I mentioned do not include you. Over the years, you have spent millions of taels of your own money for me. Even if I am no longer a good-for-nothing, I will not do anything to you."
Zhao Linger smiled slightly: "That's better. If you attack me, you will be cutting off your own purse."
"More than a hundred years ago, when the Song Dynasty fell, nothing else was left behind, but some money was left behind."
After Zhao Linger said this, she looked at Zhao Min again: "Even if we are hunted by the Mongols for decades, fortunately my Zhao family should not be extinct. Otherwise, the position of the Queen of the Ming Dynasty today would most likely belong to Zhou Zhiruo."
After hearing this, Zhao Min said guiltily: "What the Mongols did back then was not very good, but sister, please don't impose your hatred towards the Mongols on me. After all, I haven't offended you."
"Besides, I spared your life on the battlefield. Just because of our great fate, you can't hold a grudge against me."
"Most fortresses collapse from within. If you and I don't get along, the consequences will be quite serious."
Zhou Zhiruo quickly said: "What about me? Since you also know that we should unite, why do you always oppose me?"
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Going against you does not affect our unity. Your greatest support is Zhang Wuji, and my greatest support is also Zhang Wuji. As long as I don't harm you to death, and you don't harm me to death, then everyone here will turn a blind eye."
"What's more, don't you think that it's pretty good between us like this? Being harmonious is so boring. Quarreling is the right attitude to live life."
