First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at each other, as expected of you!

"Here's an order for Hua Yun to lead [-] cavalry to go to Qimen overnight, and the rest of the horse-buoyed boat division will set off from Anqing to fight Chen Youliang!"

Old Zhu shook his fist hard...

Chapter 348 It's All About the Show

Will Zhu Ying fight?

Yes, just a little bit.

He already knew that the other party was Zhang Dingbian, a fierce man who made Chang Yuchun come home in defeat.Zhu Ying does not have the ruthlessness of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and she does not want to risk her life with this one.Because he knew very well that he would never do it.

Admitting one's own shortcomings is not something to be ashamed of, this is one of the most important skills he and Zhang Ximeng have learned.Just like Zhang Ximeng, he has never been able to fight by himself, but in fact Zhang Ximeng did not make any mistakes when he was the commander of the navy.

And let Zhang Ximeng lead the army, a famous general in the world, many of them are better than Zhang Ximeng in terms of military strategy, but it is not easy to really defeat him.

It is roughly that a person is excellent in some aspects and not too bad in others. What he does not understand and what ordinary people think is not good are two different things.

Adhering to Zhang Ximeng's style of promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, Zhu Ying began to make calculations.

What is his advantage?

Maybe it's people's hearts.

After all, if his heart is disturbed, he will not even have a chance to stand on the floating beam.To deal with Zhang Dingbian, he must work hard to strengthen the hearts of the people.

Really make the whole city up and down, soldiers and civilians, twisted into one rope.

Godfather Zhu Yuanzhang and eldest brother Zhang Ximeng, they proposed to expel the barbarians and restore China, win over the hearts of scholars, rely on the equal distribution of land and acres, win the support of the common people, and grant land to women, maybe women's support... It's my turn, what should I do? How about getting the support of the people in Fuliang Prefecture?

Are you also engaged in subdivision?

Already played it.

So what else can impress the people of Fuliang?

Fuliang... Fuliang...Zhu Ying couldn't think of anything for a while, but he swept the table and saw the teapot and teacup, and suddenly he had an idea.

Fuliang is not well-known, but Jingdezhen under Fuliang is too famous.

The official kiln porcelain used by the Yuan court, the treasures exported overseas, and the treasures that are almost equivalent to silver are not all produced here.

The most people in Jingdezhen are kiln workers, artisans who make porcelain, produce porcelain, and export it, porters... In Fuliang City, more than half of the people are related to the porcelain industry.

The eldest brother told himself that we must grasp the main contradiction, find out the main aspects of the contradiction, and target the pain points, and play a combination of punches to maximize value.

Kiln workers, porcelain craftsmen, what do they need most?

It's not that you can make up your own mind, and you can distribute more benefits.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Farmers support Zhu's army because they can get the land, and the soldiers use their lives to get double the land... It seems that the Zhu's army is only exempt from exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and there are no more measures.

That being the case, this is my chance!

This kid Zhu Ying immediately confiscated the property of the Yang family, that is, Yang Youfu's property. He died in Zhu Ying's hands, and even the property in the city belonged to Zhu Ying.

Then Zhu Ying announced that all kiln workers and craftsmen who are willing to help defend the city will be given preferential treatment. After the enemy is defeated, the workshop will be bought immediately and handed over to the big guys.

Obviously, this sounds like a joke at first glance, leaving it to the craftsmen to manage, so many people, who are they listening to?

Also, if something goes wrong in the business, who will be responsible?

After all, he has no hair on his mouth, and if he doesn't do things well, he will talk nonsense.

But soon the sarcasm shut up.

Zhu Ying and Zhang Ximeng have learned too many things, one of which is Operation Tianma, making the impossible possible.

Soon the craftsmen of the Yang family received a document with the seal of Zhizhou... roughly meaning that one eight percent of the workshop will be awarded to you. In addition to getting wages, you can also get eight One percent dividend.

How to run the workshop in the future, all the craftsmen will discuss together, the specific details, you can wait for the meaning of the Ministry of Education.However, from now on, you are one of the [-] owners of this workshop.

An official document went down, and the silent craftsmen started to move.

Thanks to Zhu Jiajun's solid reputation, everyone is willing to believe that this is going to attack the workshop, and finally respond to the wishes of our craftsmen.

Long live Wu Wang!

Fight!

The craftsmen rushed out, and some people may worry, will they fight?

It seems that they won't, but they can!

Soon Zhu Ying realized that he had picked up the treasure!

Compared with the children of the peasant family, the artisans are too organized. Assigning tasks and cooperating with each other are simply their instincts.

It is especially worth mentioning that these craftsmen were born in kilns, and all of them are physically strong and skillful.

Make some defensive equipment, such as trebuchets, rolling logs, rocks, dig defensive trenches, mobilize personnel, and arrange various tasks, all at your fingertips.It's not much worse than a real soldier!There are even some places that are more ingenious and cleverly designed.

Although he hasn't really accepted the baptism of war, Zhu Ying is smiling all over his face, and his heart is full of joy. God is blessing him!

Zhu Ying directly selected ten foremen and awarded them the title of Thousand Households.

He also recruited the few soldiers in the city who had participated in the battle, and asked them to cooperate with thousands of households to defend against the enemy.

What Lu Qiuyun saw was such a situation, he was simply dumbfounded.

"I am the commander, you can do this! You didn't embarrass our youth camp!"

Zhu Yingbai gave him a look, "I don't have any real skills, why should I be the boss of you? Just wait and see, I want Zhang Ding to be beaten to death, even if Chen Youliang comes personally, I will make him dare not go over One step from Lei Chi!"

Lu Qiuyun nodded again and again, "I'm convinced, our chance to become famous in the world has come!"

Even he is gearing up, full of expectations.

As long as Fuliang is not lost, Chen Youliang's plan to attract the main force of Zhu's army will fail, and his dream of going south to Raozhou and attacking Hongdu will also be impossible.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his army to kill Jiangzhou.

It's just that it was passed to Chen Youliang's hands, not only Zhu Yuanzhang's army, but another army also came from the direction of Dabie Mountain towards Jiangzhou.

"Yes, yes, Liu Futong's troops?"

Chen Youliang was horrified.

Two of his most trusted generals, Zhang Dingbian were still attacking Fuliang, and Zhang Bixian was not around, so there was no one to discuss with.Chen Youliang also yelled out what to do.

First of all, Zhu Yuanzhang did form an alliance with Liu Futong, but one of them concentrated on the south and the other on the northern expedition, and they did not really join forces.

But the covenant is there, and it cannot be dismissed as non-existent.

Thinking about it in his own shoes, Liu Futong didn't want to plan for the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River?He was going to the Northern Expedition, and the gap in food and pay was so big, there was no reason to let go of the fat on his lips.

Moreover, Liu Fu had a lot of troops and generals, so it was reasonable to draw some of them and attack with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Chen Youliang couldn't help but believe it a little bit.

But Liu Futong is really stupid for doing this... Zhu Yuanzhang has a heroic appearance and is full of ambitions. If he is allowed to grow bigger, Han Song will be wiped out sooner or later.

How could Liu Futong take chestnuts out of the fire for Zhu Yuanzhang?

Although Chen Youliang will take revenge, he is not a fool. When it is time to bow his head, he still has to bow his head.After thinking about it, Chen Youliang decided to prepare a generous gift and send someone to contact Liu Futong as soon as possible. In any case, he must dissuade Liu Futong from getting involved in his fight with Zhu Yuanzhang.

After defeating Zhu Yuanzhang, he will settle accounts with Liu Futong.

After the people were dispatched, Chen Youliang sat there, sweating intermittently, upset and anxious... Among the rebels, the most powerful ones were the three families of Liu, Chen and Zhu.

If Liu Futong really held hands with Zhu Yuanzhang, they would deal with him together.

Ask yourself, Chen Youliang is not sure... Could it be that he wants to form an alliance with Yuan Ting, or make friends with Chahan Timur and ask him to send troops to help contain Liu Futong?

Chen Youliang thought over and over again, but he didn't have any clue.

Before he knew Liu Futong's intentions, he would never have dared to send troops at will... In this way, after a full day and a half, various news came one after another.

Only then did Chen Youliang figure out the situation.

And this situation also made him messy... It wasn't Liu Futong sending troops at all. The old Liu was still fighting Yuan Ting, so he didn't care about the affairs of the southern region.

Zhang Ziming did this shit.

That's right, after pretending to be Zhu Yuanzhang, this guy became addicted.

Let him rely on a group of mobs to attack Chen Youliang with Zhu Yuanzhang, that is to deliver food to the door.But in the spirit of coming here, we can't do nothing, just be a spectator, right?

Zhang Ziming held back for a long time, he remembered that Liu Futong's army was backed by the Dabie Mountains, overlooking the Central Plains, with the Yellow River as the boundary, and was fighting against the Yuan court.

Zhang Ziming simply found a few crouching dragons and phoenix chicks, and then under the banner of Han Song, went south from the direction of Dabie Mountain, making the illusion that Liu Futong's army crossed Dabie Mountain and participated in the battle.

Really, this idea surprised Chen Youliang's subordinates, and Chen Youliang was so frightened that he didn't dare to move for a day and a half.

People and ghosts are all on show, only Chen Youliang is being beaten.

After figuring out the situation, Chen Youliang exploded with anger.

"Zhu Chongba, I'm going to kill you!"

Before Chen Youliang could make a decision, Chang Yuchun had already led the forward of Zhu's army to Wangjiang County.

This place is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, with the turbulent Yangtze River to the south and Dalei Water, also known as Leichi, to the north. If you don’t dare to go half a step beyond the Leichi, it’s this.

It is a good place with beautiful scenery, lakes and rivers.

But Chang Yuchun was not one who knew how to appreciate the beautiful scenery, he held an iron gun, took the lead, and launched an offensive.Chen Jun was caught off guard, and with too few soldiers and horses, he carried it for less than half a day before Chang Yuchun broke into the county.

This guy wiped the blood from the tip of the gun with a relieved smile on his face.

His loss to Zhang Dingbian had always left him in his heart, but now he has finally waited for the opportunity to take revenge.

"Tell the superior, I have already taken down the main throat leading to Jiangzhou!"

Chang Yuchun turned his head and said to his brothers, "Can we still fight?"

"can!"

Even though he was tired, he was still as vigorous as a rainbow.

Chang Yuchun was even more satisfied, "Okay, it's our soldier! Follow me to hunt and kill!" Chang Yuchun was like a fierce tiger, leading a group of wolves, rushing along the north of the river, and no power could stop him.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng also led soldiers and horses to follow. At this moment, a man came to Zhu's army alone.

"Zou Pusheng, a bereaved man, begs the King of Wu to take him in!"

This Peng Dang old man actually arrived at this time!

Chapter 349 The Iron Chain Boat

Frankly speaking, the arrival of Zou Pusheng did not surprise Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng. In fact, as the two giants of the Peng Party in Tianwan, Zhao Pusheng's family died tragically, and there was not one left.

If Zou Pusheng is still not vigilant, unable to escape from Chen Youliang's grasp, and can only sit and wait for death, then they have failed too much.

But what is really surprising is that Zou Pusheng will come to the front of the army and meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is a bit outrageous. After all, no matter how much Chen Youliang went too far, what Chen Han inherited was Tianwan's foundation, and there were too many Tianwan's old divisions, even Peng Dang's seniors.

Does Zou Pusheng really have the courage to confront these people?

"What do you think sir?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhang Ximeng thought for a while, and immediately said: "This old man has clear eyes and a clear heart, and he has insight into the world. He can't be moved by force, and he can't be bent by force. The only thing we can do is to be honest with each other. I'm lucky if I win, and my life is lost!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, sincerely convinced, and nodded vigorously.

"Just do what you want, sir."

Not long after, Zou Pusheng, led by Guo Ying, entered the handsome account.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stood up, took two steps towards him, and then bowed and said, "The late student pays respects to the senior."

Zou Pusheng was startled. He looked at the burly and resolute junior in front of him. Is he the king of Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang?Facing myself, claiming to be a junior, how interesting!

"His Royal Highness, the old man is just a bereaved old dog. He came to ask for the protection of the King of Wu, so he should not be loved by the King of Wu." Zou Pusheng said with a humble attitude.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled indifferently, "Senior, there is no King Wu here. Yuanzhang can only be regarded as a late-born junior in the rebel army. To be able to be today is to learn a lesson and reflect on himself. The predecessors overcame thorns and thorns, and the descendants enjoy the success, that's all. .”

Zou Pusheng naturally heard Zhu Yuanzhang's flattery, which made him a little more comfortable. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to use him, being so kind was much better than Chen Youliang.

Thinking of this, Zou Pusheng sighed deeply, "Being a pioneer of the king is not a reward from the real man. I just want a place to live. I don't know if the king of Wu would like it?"
