Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 115 Hot Air Balloon Maritime Trade!What was the experience of flying to the sky in the late Yuan Dynasty?
In history, Wanhu in the early Ming Dynasty belonged to the No.1 aerospace exploration written in textbooks. He was born in a scholarly family and was proficient in various craftsman institutions. He was full of yearning for flying to the sky. After making meritorious deeds, Tao Guangyi was granted the title of "Wan Hu", and his fame has spread far and wide since then.

Wan Hu's obsession with flying made him die after a test flight with a kite and a rocket.

"This is a person who dares to think and do, which is rare in the ages. I must get to know him."

Zhu Han immediately became interested in Wanhu Tao Guangyi.

After the bustling Jinshi Section published the list, the entire Jinling, and even the whole of Jiangnan, soon knew the names of these new scholars.

Wu Wang Zhu Yuanzhang personally presided over the Qionglin Banquet in Jiangnan Province.

Crowds of Xinke Jinshi were in Jinling City for a while.

In particular, Tao Guangyi, the No.1 Jinshi of the new science, has attracted much attention.

At Zhu Han's suggestion, Tao Guangyi was awarded the editorship of Hanlin in Jiangnan Province.

The establishment of Hanlin editors in a province is basically unique to the Red Scarf Army in the Song Dynasty. After all, Han Liner, Liu Futong and others still count on the taxes, money and food in the south of the Yangtze River. This privilege is always given to the Zhu Yuanzhang brothers.

The official position of Hanlin editor is the seventh rank, which is definitely a very high starting point for those who enter and leave the officialdom.

However, facing this official position, Tao Guangyi made an incredible move.

Tao Guangyi rejected the official position in public.

"Tao Guangyi, don't you want to be an Imperial Academy?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked suspiciously.

He had heard it from dramas very early on that the ideal path of Jinshi is to go all the way to high school, then become a Hanlin, then marry a beautiful wife and concubine, and finally lead a successful life of Zaifu.

Tao Guangyi in front of him doesn't want to be an Hanlin?

"Your Majesty, I'm going to focus on studying new learning, and I'm not very proficient in scriptures and classics. If I enter the Imperial Academy, I'm afraid it will be shameful." Tao Guangyi said.

"Haha, so that's the case, but don't worry, our Hanlin Academy in Jiangnan is different from the general Hanlin Academy. We are divided into two types of Hanlin Academy. We can do whatever we need to do, and your new learning will not be left behind. "Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Zhu Han on the side also laughed. It could be seen that not only Tao Guangyi, but also many new scholars were worried that their background in new subjects would be shorter than the traditional imperial examinations later.

"King Wu is right. If you study new learning, you will help protect the great cause of expelling the Tartars. I won't let you lose your schoolbags. You just need to do a good job in the new learning Hanlin." Zhu Han said with a smile .

The Hanlin Academy in Jiangnan Province, named Hanlin Academy, was actually designed by Zhu Han to become an early version of the Academy of Sciences.

At the beginning of modern civilization, this kind of official academy of sciences was far ahead of the world in terms of efficiency and system.

"Then I am willing!" Tao Guangyi quickly relieved.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang said that the Hanlin Academy in the Jiangnan province would be under the jurisdiction of Zhu Han, the Duke of Huai, and that all matters could be decided by Zhu Han alone.

As a result, Tao Guangyi and the others all followed Zhu Han's lead.

A few days later, when Tao Guangyi heard that Zhu Han was the real discoverer of the new Confucianism, he admired Zhu Han even more.

Tao Guangyi came almost every day to ask Zhu Han for advice on the problems he encountered in the new learning.

Zhu Han couldn't appreciate this studious Tao Guangyi, the number one scholar.

On this day, Tao Guangyi blocked Zhu Han in the government office again to ask about his novel ideas.

"My lord, it is said in this new study that a boat can float in the water because of buoyancy, and the space between the sky and the earth is filled with air. If there is something that is lighter than air, will it be Under the buoyancy of the air, can it also float on the water like a boat and float in the air?"

Hearing this, Zhu Han couldn't help feeling extremely emotional.

As expected of a ruthless person with a long history, this kind of problem can be associated so quickly.

However, Zhu Han also decided to whet Tao Guangyi's appetite first.

"Tao Hanlin, I already have the answer to the question you asked, do you want to know?" Zhu Han laughed.

"My lord, please don't hesitate to enlighten me. I have made up my mind since I was a child, and I want to know the reason why birds fly!" Tao Guangyi said with a big gift.

"Haha, this matter is very simple, as long as you help me do one thing, not only will I tell you the truth about being able to fly into the sky, but you will also be promoted to ten thousand households in the Imperial Academy!" Zhu Han said.

Wanhu of the Hanlin Academy is a new administrative officer set up by the Zhu Han brothers in the Hanlin Academy.

In fact, they are equivalent to engineering officials, who specialize in supervising and designing various workshops for manufacturing. The official position is basically equivalent to that of a leader and commander, and they belong to senior officials.

Of course, Zhu Han is happy to see the "ten thousand households" in history have the real ten thousand household status.

"Thank you, my lord, no matter what it is, I will definitely complete it!" Tao Guangyi said excitedly.

"This is a tool I want to improve. It's called a windmill. It uses wind power to lift water and grind surfaces. See if you can change it into a forging hammer, and then drive it with water to control the force of the hammer!" Zhu said. Han said.

The iron smelting workshop in Chuzhou has been able to produce large quantities of high-quality wrought iron.

Also mastered the quite mature process of carburizing wrought iron into steel.

In other words, Zhu Han's iron smelting workshop already possessed the technology to manufacture metal plate armor.

You only need to beat the soft wrought iron into a shape, and then return it to the furnace for carburizing, you can turn the soft wrought iron plate armor into a plate armor that is tough on the outside and tough on the inside!
At that time, Zhu Han's infantry will become real iron cans, people can block murderers and demons!
However, the process of beating wrought iron into shape requires a lot of manual hammering, which is surprisingly slow.

Zhu Han decided to ask Tao Guangyi and others to improve a hydraulic forging hammer.

Anyway, the south has sufficient water power, and one hydraulic forging hammer is almost worth ten skilled craftsmen.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll go back and study, within five days, oh no, within three days, I will definitely give my lord an explanation!" Tao Guangyi said excitedly.

Zhu Han also had confidence in Tao Guangyi's words.

However, he never expected that Tao Guangyi would be able to make a prototype of the designed hydraulic forging hammer the next day without being there for three days.

Whoa!
As a stream of water fell from above, the wooden water conservancy blades drove the forging hammer to make a clanging sound.

Click!
Tao Guangyi flipped a mechanism next to it, and the speed of the forging hammer became faster and faster, followed by another flip, and the forging hammer became slower again.

Zhu Han looked on in admiration and said nothing, indeed, the geniuses in some fields are far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

"My lord, how are you doing!?" Tao Guangyi asked anxiously.

Zhu Han nodded, "Very good, very good."

"So, are you satisfied, sir?" Tao Guangyi said in surprise.

Zhu Han smiled slightly, and said to Tao Guangyi, "Tao Wanhu, I am very satisfied!"

"Wanhu?" Tao Guangyi immediately understood.

As soon as he calmed down his excitement, he asked another question that he cared about the most.

"My lord, is there really something that can make people fly into the sky?" Wanhu Tao Guang asked.

Hearing this, Zhu Han couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he really is a ruthless person who dares to fly to the sky with all his might.

That being the case, then I, Zhu Han, will help you so that you can truly realize your dream of flying into the sky!

"Tao Wanhu, have you ever seen cooking smoke rise into the sky?" Zhu Han said.

"Cooking smoke lifts into the sky?" Wanhu Tao Guangyi suddenly had an idea, as if he was about to catch something.

"That's right, the principle of cooking smoke rising into the sky is actually that hot air has a low density..."

Zhu Han then told Wanhu Tao Guangyi about the origin of the hot air balloon.

Finally, when he talked about the principle of the Kongming Lantern, Tao Guangyi suddenly realized it!
"I understand, I understand, I understand!"

Tao Guangyi clapped his hands and laughed, almost crazy with joy.

Lan Yu and Chen Baodao at the side looked at him vigilantly, fearing that Wan Hu would lose his mind.

However, the worries of these two rough embryos are purely superfluous, and Zhu Han is not worried at all.

He said to Wanhu Tao Guangyi: "After you go back, you can try to make this hot air balloon with various materials. No matter how much money it costs, the Imperial Academy has funds. As long as you can make this hot air balloon, I will tell you another A way to fly!"

"What, is there another way?" Wanhu Tao Guangyi was shocked.

"Of course, you go and make this hot air balloon." Zhu Han waved his hand and said.

It is very simple to make a hot air balloon, but it is not so simple to make it. Not only must you choose the best and toughest linen, but you must also make a good seal and shape.

Zhu Han reckoned that without a month or two, Wanhu Tao Guangyi would not be able to make a prototype anyway.

Unexpectedly, Wanhu Tao Guangyi's ability once again surprised Zhu Han.

Less than ten days!

Wanhu Tao Guangyi made the hot air balloon.

On the school field outside Jinling City, four huge sentry towers pulled out a huge hot air balloon at the four corners, and the blazing flames inflated the hot air balloon a little bit.

Zhu Han took Zhou Dexing, Chang Yuchun, Liu Bowen, Shi Naian, Hu Weiyong, Kong Yuanlang, Shen Wansan and other civil and military merchants to watch the whole process of the hot air balloon taking off.

When the hot air balloon rose into the air little by little, and finally reached hundreds of feet in the air, not only the civil and military officials and sergeants of the entire school saw this spectacle, but even the people in Jinling City also watched a huge Objects soar in daylight!
"My lord, my lord! It's a success!"

Half an hour later, when the hot air balloon landed slowly, Wanhu Tao Guangyi, who came out of the gondola, was almost crazy with excitement.

"Heavenly auspiciousness!"

"Flying up in the daytime, isn't there a god to help?"

"Wu Wang Rende, feel the heaven and the earth, there are such wonders!"

The other officials and common people did not have the level of Wanhu Tao Guangyi's new learning and knowledge, and they all thought that ascension was a matter of gods.

Seeing Wanhu Tao Guangyi flying to the sky just now, and now coming back safe and sound, they all feel that they are blessed by heaven.

"Wan Hu, you are really Wan Hu!"

Zhu Han was also very excited, Wan Hu is simply the most efficient inventor!

"Immediately make a bigger hot air balloon. In half a month, I will go to Korea. Koryo is mostly mountainous. This hot air balloon has great potential!" Zhu Han ordered again.

Wanhu Tao Guangyi was naturally overjoyed at Zhu Han's affirmation.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely make a bigger one, within ten days!"

The impact of the hot air balloon's launch on this day far exceeded Zhu Han's expectations.

In the entire Jinling City, there was a lot of discussion about this miraculous scene.

"Jinling is the land of emperors, and it really has the aura of rising dragons!"

"That's right, if there is no ascending dragon energy, how can there be soaring in the daylight!"

"I saw it, a guy as big as three houses can fly as soon as he says he wants to fly!"

"Have you heard that Tao Wanhu, the champion of the new division, is on there!"

"The No. [-] scholar is the Wenqu star who came down to earth, and this time it can't be wrong!"

"Xingxiu descends to assist King Wu, and King Zhu Wu will be more than just a King Wu in the future!"

. . . .

All kinds of rumors were rampant, and even the Jiangbei generation all rumored that Jinling was a blessed land for emperors, and whoever occupied Jinling would rule the world.

Regarding these rumors, Zhu Han has no time to deal with them, so let others talk.

At this time, Zhu Han was already personally leading an army of [-], sailed northward along the coast on hundreds of warships, and headed towards Goryeo, the loyal vassal state of Meng Yuan!

The Jurchens and other barbarians in Liaoyang Province wanted to go south, so Zhu Han would take Korea first and go straight to their lair to see if they dared to go south.

Moreover, although Koryo's land is small and barren, it occupies a favorable location, which can allow Zhu Han to threaten Liaodong and lay the foundation for future invasion of Japan.

"My lord, Antonwei in Shandong is ahead, we can replenish our supplies there!"

With the fleet going north.

The series of guards that Zhu Han set up along the coast of Shandong immediately played their role.

The logistical supply of tens of thousands of horses was quickly and easily completed.

After completing the last supply at Aosanwei, Zhu Han led the fleet straight to the east, heading for Tamna Island, the first stop to conquer Koryo.

Tamna Island, which is later known as Jeju Island, has a horse farm and a general manager's mansion set up by Meng Yuan. There are about [-] horses. If some old and weak people are removed, [-] war horses can also be used.

It can be said that as long as Tamla Island is captured, Zhu Han and his Red Scarf Army will never lack horses, and they will even have a purely horse-riding dragoons.

Hubei, Hanyang.

Hanyang City, known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces in later generations, was already prosperous in the Yuan Dynasty.

Hanyang City not only has tall walls.

Moreover, there are more than a dozen large and small fortress guards within a radius of more than ten miles, which belong to the first-class fortified city.

The capital of Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui of the Southern Red Scarf Army was also in Hanyang.

Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui is calling his generals to gather in Hanyang to discuss the next move.

In the humble imperial palace in Hanyang, Xu Shouhui, who was wearing a yellow dragon robe, was sitting on a dragon chair, looking majestic as a Ninth Five-Year Lord.

"Now Zhu Yuanzhang has occupied Jiangnan. I heard that he is already very rich. Liu Futong and his two northern expeditions relied on Zhu Yuanzhang's food and grass supplies. We are orthodox at the end of the day. Should we just watch them occupy Jiangnan? ?”

Emperor Xu Shouhui of Tianwan took the lead in expressing the theme of today's court meeting, which was the direction in which the Tianwan Empire would expand.

The current Tianwan Empire occupies almost all of Hubei, and half of Hunan. Even many rebels in Chongqing and Xichuan have sent people to declare their allegiance. Located in Hubei, the main thoroughfare of the nine provinces, the Tianwan Red Turban Army will take the next step Where to expand, it will be a move of life and death.

After hearing what Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui said, the first person to speak was a middle-aged man in Taoist robes, and he was Zou Pusheng, the Grand Master of the Tianwan Empire.

According to seniority rankings, Grand Master Zou Pusheng's qualifications are even older than Xu Shouhui's.

"Ahem! Your Majesty, now that I am heading towards the end of the country, it means to stabilize the pressure on the head of the 'Great Yuan'. Since the name of the country is so, we should take destroying the Yuan and crusade against the Hulu as our top priority, and we should go west first. Bashu occupies the land of abundance, and the population, land and wealth there are not much worse than those in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"When Bashu is occupied, you can send troops to Hanzhong to seize Guanzhong and Qinchuan. Back then, Han Gaozu ruled the world, but this was the route."

As a first-class cultural person in the Tianwan Empire, and also a senior with senior qualifications, Grand Master Zou Pusheng's suggestion immediately won the support of many generals.

"That's right, we're going to kill the Tartars, that's why we rebelled!"

"If we don't kill the Tartars, how can we still be considered rebels?"

"The Grand Master is right, wherever there are Tartars, we will fight there!"

However, most of the generals who supported Zou Pusheng were mid-level and low-level generals. Their knowledge obviously did not have a big picture, and they couldn't explain why. They could only simply stick to their original intention of fighting the Tartars.

However, Ni Wenjun, the leader of the Red Turban Army today, who supported Xu Shouhui as the founding emperor of the country, is focused on snatching the Jiangnan occupied by Zhu Yuanzhang's brothers.

"Haha, what the grand master said is very reasonable. We raise our troops just to kill the Tartars, but we can't just let us kill the Tartars desperately and let others take advantage of it at will!"

Ni Wenjun, who looked fierce, said loudly.

In the Tianwan Red Scarf Army, Ni Wenjun and others always felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was able to occupy the big fat in the south of the Yangtze River. The big reason was that Ni Wenjun and the others contained the strength of the Huguang Yuan Army.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang monopolizes Jiangnan.

Ni Wenjun was already very upset when Liu Futong and others ate so much that their mouths were full of oil.

"According to me, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are so big, how can that thief monk Zhu Yuanzhang eat them all, at least give us a piece of Jiangxi!" Ni Wenjun said.

Although Jiangxi does not belong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, according to rumors, Pingzhang Jitong, the Jiangxi province of Meng Yuan, already planned to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The Hubei area used to be the main battlefield of the war between the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, and suffered huge war damage.

Coupled with decades of exploitation by Meng Yuan, the vitality of Hubei is still far inferior to that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even worse than that of Jiangxi.

Ni Wenjun and others feel that if the Tianwan Red Turban Army wants to grow, it must take Jiangxi.

Jiangxi possesses porcelain, copper mines, and food, etc., enough to give them a memory power boost.

"Not only in Jiangxi, but I heard that there is a Shibo Division in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, which is occupied by a group of Persian Semu people. They can make a net profit of one million taels every year. We can march into Jiangxi and Fujian at the same time!" Next to Ni Wenjun said one of the young generals.

"Chen Youliang, what you say is good, Fujian can't let it go!" Ni Wenjun said happily to the general.

This person is none other than Ni Wenjun's general, Chen Youliang!
As the most loyal subordinate of Prime Minister Ni Wenjun, Chen Youliang's prestige in the army is second only to Ni Wenjun.

"However, once we enter Jiangxi or Fujian, it is equivalent to going to war with Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Futong." Emperor Xu Shouhui of Tianwan was a little worried.

As a rebel who started against the yuan.

Although Xu Shouhui didn't like the domineering and tyrannical Liu Futong and other Northern Red Turbans, he didn't want to kill each other either.

After all, the influence of Meng Yuan has not been wiped out.

"Your Majesty is right. We'd better not provoke the Zhu Yuanzhang brothers now. They can kill Emperor Meng Yuan and wipe out millions of troops under Gaoyou City. They are definitely not easy to deal with!" Grand Master Zou Pusheng said.

Many generals and officials nodded in unison, feeling that this judgment was reasonable.

The two brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han were able to rise to become a powerful prince in less than three years. They are definitely ruthless people with super strength.

"Bashu is also a place of prosperity. We occupying Bashu is no worse than occupying Jiangxi and Fujian. It is better not to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han." Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui said with a serious face, he wanted to play the role of final decision.

However, Ni Wenjun obviously didn't want to buy Xu Shouhui's behavior.

"Your Majesty, you are wrong. Although Bashu is rich, it is not a place where great things can be achieved. Since ancient times, except for one Liu Bang, who has killed anyone from Bashu? Even Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and his ministers are still dead. In Bashu? We don’t have Zhuge Liang’s skills, and you are not Liu Bei, Your Majesty. Once you enter Bashu, you will die.” Ni Wenjun said loudly.

What he said was very blunt, and he didn't take Xu Shouhui, the polished emperor, in his eyes at all!
After all, [-]% of the army is in the hands of Ni Wenjun, and he has always been so outspoken.

Xu Shouhui was angry in his heart, but he couldn't show it.

"I heard that Zhu Han has already led the army to go to Korea, and Zhu Yuanzhang is still in Huaixi and has not moved to Jiangnan. It is a good time for them to be empty. We will immediately lead the army to the east. Zhu Han and the others realized that we already had the territory to our stomachs, if they refuse to accept it, with our hundreds of thousands of troops, are we afraid that they will fail?" Ni Wenjun yelled loudly.

The discipline of the Tianwan Red Scarf Army has always been very good, and they have a strong reputation in the Huguang area.

Many people are vying to join the army, and the size of the army has already exceeded 30!

However, the number of soldiers and horses is real, and the specific combat effectiveness is not high.

In the end, Ni Wenjun, who held the military power in his hand, made the final decision!

On the spot, he appointed his subordinate Chen Youliang as the Marshal of the Eastern Expedition, and led an army of 15 to attack Jiangxi.

In addition, in order to take care of the face of the emperor Xu Shouhui and Taishi Zou Pusheng, the general Ming Yuzhen was also assigned to lead an army of 5 troops to attack Yuzhou, Chongqing to the west.

Ni Wenjun led the reserve army to sit in the rear.

As long as Chen Youliang wins in the front, he will immediately lead all his belongings, escort the emperor Xu Shouhui and others, and move the capital of the Tianwan Empire to Jiangxi.

At that time, as long as the Tianwan Empire moves its capital, and the two Zhu Yuanzhang brothers want to rob again, they will have to fight desperately with the tens of thousands of Tianwan Red Scarf Army.

Ni Wenjun still doesn't believe it, the Jiangxi that he ate in his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang brothers can take it away!

a few days later.

The mighty Tianwan Red Scarf Army, led by Marshal Chen Youliang, sailed downstream from the Yangtze River on thousands of large and small warships and headed towards Jiangxi.

The news of the Tianwan Red Scarf Army's expedition spread all around in an instant, and the remnants of the Mongolian and Yuan forces from all walks of life surrendered ahead of schedule. In just half a month, Chen Youliang led his army to capture all the cities around the mouth of the Yangtze River in Poyang Lake and secure the waterway of the Yangtze River. It's in my hands.

Quanzhou, Fujian.

The news that Chen Youliang led troops to attack Jiangxi soon spread to Fujian.

However, none of the local forces in Fujian paid any attention to the news, because the local situation in Fujian was already in chaos.

Whether it is the remaining soldiers and officials of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, or the rebels from all walks of life.

Or the gentry and landlords who are self-protecting everywhere are in a panic.

They are already too busy to take care of themselves, because a serious war has broken out in the local Quanzhou Port in Fujian.

As the largest port in the world today, Quanzhou Port accounts for more than half of the annual revenue generated by Mengyuan Maritime Trade.

The prosperity of Quanzhou Port did not start from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, but from the Tang Dynasty, a large number of merchants from the south and the south of the world gathered here. It is the prosperity of this sea trade port that has been pushed to a climax.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, the most famous family was the Pu Shougeng family. They not only had a lot of privileges in taxation and financial autonomy, but also received official appointments from the Southern Song Dynasty court, and were allowed to live in Quanzhou for business and missionary work for generations.

The Pu Shougeng family, which has been trusted by the Southern Song court for hundreds of years.

But when the Southern Song Dynasty was at war with Meng Yuan, he chose to betray.

When the Mongols approached the city, the Pu Shougeng family in Quanzhou entangled a large number of Muslims to create chaos in Quanzhou City. They not only killed many local Southern Song clans and officials, but also massacred civilians and robbed merchants on a large scale.

Finally, the city gate was opened to welcome Meng Yuan into the city and occupied Quanzhou.

For Pu Shougeng's act of stabbing a knife in the back, the Mongolian and Yuan courts appreciated it very much. After all, they were all Han Chinese, so what does it have to do with the Mongols?
In the end, the Mongolian and Yuan courts added officials to the Pu family, not only allowing them to continue to maintain their privileges under the original concession conditions of the Southern Song Dynasty, but also granting them additional rights to train troops here and collect taxes on behalf of the Mongolian and Yuan courts.

After obtaining the right to train soldiers, the Pu family completely occupied Quanzhou.

They introduced a large number of Muslims from Persia and Tianfang in West Asia.

These Muslims were all tribal fighters provided by various places. After they came to Quanzhou, they helped the Pu family suppress the resistance of the local Han people, and quickly managed Quanzhou into an eastern Muslim base.

The Han people in the entire city of Quanzhou, on the land where their ancestors lived for thousands of years, have to pay taxes to the Semu people because they do not believe in Islam.

After nearly a hundred years of management during the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, Quanzhou City has now become an oriental holy place for Islam.

There are already more than [-] Semu people in the entire city, and among them, everyone is a soldier, equipped with sophisticated weapons, artillery, armor and other heavy equipment, and it seems to be an independent kingdom of Semu people.

When Bolu and others in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces surrendered to the Red Turban Army, the officials and generals of the Yuan Army in Fujian did not express their views for a long time. They each maintained their own forces and wanted to be fools.

But at this time, the Pu family in Quanzhou led the Semu people to launch a rebellion.

They killed the Mongols who were the officials of the Yuan Dynasty, and then took control of all the power in Quanzhou by themselves.

Soon, the Semu people began to kill the local Han people, and they seemed to want to kill all the Han people, Mongolians and other non-believers in Quanzhou.

The remnants of the Yuan army and the powerful Han Chinese fled all over Fujian for a while, and hundreds of miles around Quanzhou became a barren land with no human habitation.

But not all people are cowardly and cowardly.

A few regiments, such as Chen Youding and others, immediately tried to recruit the remnant soldiers and prepared to counterattack Quanzhou.

Chen Youding and others were all recruited during the bandit suppression process. They were single and weak, and they didn't have any strong combat experience, nor did they have strong equipment support. For the Quanzhou Pu's family that had been in business for hundreds of years, it was fundamentally difficult. It's a stone hitting an egg.

After losing three times and two times, Chen Youding and others had no choice but to move into the mountains around Wuyi Mountain to take refuge.

As a result, the Pu family expanded outward, not only occupying Quanzhou, but also occupying other neighboring counties in Fujian, and most of Fujian fell into the control of the Semu Huihui people.

Fujian, Wuyishan.

On a gentle slope in the middle of the mountain, an army of hundreds of people is stationed here.

They were poorly armored, had few horses, and few kinds of equipment.

This army is Chen Youding and others who withdrew from Quanzhou. They belong to the army reserved by the Yuan army.

As for how to take the next step, Chen Youding and others were caught in a debate.

Among them, the masters headed by Chen Youding belong to the main combat faction. They advocate taking Wuyi Mountain as the foundation and gathering the remnants of the Yuan army in Fujian. Become their separatist territory and continue to be loyal to the Yuan Dynasty.

However, the other generals headed by Liu San and others had different opinions. They advocated taking Wuyi Mountain as their root and contacting the Red Turban Army to the north to ask for reinforcements.

"We were originally just farmers who were promoted by the imperial court. This is how we ate the imperial food, became soldiers, and were supported by the adults all the way. We became generals and deputy generals. Now the imperial court is in trouble. We can't be ungrateful, throwing the red scarf is really inappropriate!"

Chen Youding, dressed in military uniform, shouted loudly with his face flushed.

Chen Youding was born as a farmer. When Bailian taught his son to revolt in the north, there were many rebellions in the southern provinces.

Bandits from all walks of life murdered and set fire everywhere, Fujian Xuanwei Prefecture in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces organized their own troops to suppress the bandits.

It was at that time that Chen Youding enlisted in the army and became a member of the Dayuan officers and soldiers.

Then he repeatedly made military exploits and was promoted to the position of General of Thousand Households in Fujian.

In Chen Youding's heart, the imperial court is still grateful to Meng Yuan.

So he didn't want to join the Red Turban Army, but kept gathering the remnants of the old army, trying to prevent the Red Turban Army from entering Fujian by virtue of the high mountains in Fujian.

Regarding Chen Youding's suggestion, Liu San and other generals did not take it seriously at all.

Liu San said: "Brother Chen, your idea is absolutely wrong. Now the emperor of the court is dead, and millions of troops were wiped out in Yangzhou! How can the Mongols have the ability to return to the south of the Yangtze River? Even if they still have soldiers Ma, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to enter the south of the Yangtze River, and we Fujianese can't afford to be buried with the Mongols at this time."

Liu San’s words won the approval of the majority of people. They already felt that Meng Yuan’s power was exhausted, especially for the Han people in the south, who hated the Mongolians even more. Those who have been promoted by grace belong to a very small number of people.

"Liu Sange is right, the Mongols are already in danger, so how can we expect them!"

"The Semu people in Quanzhou killed our relatives and robbed our fields and houses. If we don't avenge this, we will not be human!"

Several generals said, and when the rest of the people heard it, they all drew their swords and shouted.

They clamored to return to Quanzhou, kill all the Huis, and avenge their dead relatives, brothers and comrades-in-arms.

All of a sudden, the voice of shouting for revenge resounded throughout the room. Although Chen Youding and the others were unwilling, seeing this situation, they had no choice but to agree to surrender to the Red Scarf Army in the north, and asked for reinforcements to help them take back Quanzhou.

Just as Chen Youding, Liu San and other generals were discussing how to find and see the Red Scarf Army before they could ask for reinforcements.

A message came.

Marshal Chen Youliang of the Tianwan Red Scarf Army has already led his troops from Hubei to Jiangxi.

When the news spread to Wuyi Mountain in Fujian, Chen Youding and others were all shocked when they heard the news.

Because Jiangxi is close to Fujian, if Chen Youliang's Tianwan Red Scarf Army occupies Jiangxi, it will be only a mountain away from Fujian.

All of a sudden, many people felt that they should ask Chen Youliang, that reinforcements from the Tianwan Red Scarf Army should come faster than Zhu Yuanzhang's brothers.

Moreover, when all the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang surrendered before, Fujian and others were all self-protected and did not respond positively. If they really went to Jinling Mansion to ask for reinforcements, it might not go well.

Chen Youding, Liu San and others have known for a long time that the two factions of the Red Turbans in the North and the South did not fight each other.

So once again they were caught in a debate about which Red Army was looking for reinforcements.

While Chen Youding was arguing with Liu San and others, another news came from Jiangxi.

Chen Youliang, Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition of the Tianwan Red Turban Army, led his troops to break through Jiangzhou, Longxing and other places, massacred the old Mongolian officials and generals in the local area, and took all the thousands of old Mongolian troops together with their families. All were thrown into Poyang Lake and drowned.

When the news came, Chen Youding, Liu San and the others were horrified.

Because Chen Youding, Liu San and others are also old generals of Meng Yuan, and there are many Mongolian Yuan officials under them, all of whom follow with their families.

At this time, if he defected to Chen Youliang's Tianwan Red Scarf Army, no matter how he looked at it, he would be courting death.

In this way, there is no other way, they can only send people to Jinling Mansion to look for Zhu Han, intending to hug Zhu Han's thigh.

After all, apart from Zhu Han killing many Mongols and Semu people on the battlefield, the captured Mongolian officials and generals who surrendered were all alive intact.

Especially Bolu and others, not only alive, but also won the title, and now they are all rich in Suzhou.

Chen Youding, Liu San and the others didn't know that Zhu Han had already led his army to leave Jinling Mansion to conquer Korea. Their envoys went all the way north along the rugged mountain road, and arrived at Jinling after all the hardships, but they were all in vain.

Liu Bowen, who was staying in the Jinling mansion, immediately sent a clipper to pass the Fujian news to Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang in Dingyuan, asking them to make a decision.

After getting the news, Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to send Xu Da to lead the navy and army to set off from Jinling southward with 1 people, preparing to support the nearby area along the rugged mountain road.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang already knew the news that Chen Youliang and others captured Xu Jiangxi. If he didn't go to rescue Fujian, maybe Chen Youliang would enter Fujian by the way after taking Jiangxi.

At the same time, the Clippers dispatched by Liu Bowen had also arrived in Shandong and was getting ready in Shandong. Zhu Han, who was about to depart, also got the news.

Shandong, Haiyang County.

On the beach outside Haiyang County, Zhu Han was admiring the sea view.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, fishermen rush to the sea to pick up shellfish, small fish and shrimp, etc. It is really a beautiful autumn scenery.

It's just that the faces of these sea-going women who are working are all dark, which doesn't make Zhu Han think otherwise.

suddenly.

Among the crowd rushing to the sea, a pair of slender and slender white legs caught Zhu Han's eyes.

Liu Sanniang held a small bamboo basket in her hand... which was full of shells, crabs, small fish and shrimps picked up from the sea.

"Brother Han, look, I picked up a lot!" Liu Sanniang said excitedly.

Seeing this, Zhu Han also showed a smile, "Yes, it seems that you have gained a lot. You can eat the seafood dinner you cooked tonight. Make up for it!"

"I've been running out of money in the past two days!"

Liu Sanniang couldn't help blushing when she heard this, and a rare shy expression appeared on her face.

She couldn't tell at all that she was a female bandit who robbed houses.

"Brother Han, when you come back this time, will you take me back to Jinling?" Liu Sanniang hurriedly changed the subject.

However, her own voice was still very small, just like a mosquito humming.

Today's Zhu Han is already more than seven feet tall, and his years of military life also make Zhu Han look very mature, not like a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, but like a youth of eighteen or nineteen years old.

Two days ago, Zhu Han also unceremoniously dealt with Liu Sanniang, who had long fallen in love with him.

Now Zhu Han is already a real man.

He and Liu Sanniang have been together like glue for several days, and tomorrow is the time for the fleet to set off for Tamna Island in Koryo.

Although Liu Sanniang is a year or two older than Zhu Han.

But in front of Zhu Han, this former female pirate looked like a shy little woman.

Seeing Liu Sanniang's appearance, Zhu Han smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't worry, I will definitely take you back to Jinling when I come back from Koryo, but once you go to Jinling Mansion, if you want to go back to Hai Here in Yang County, I'm afraid it won't be so convenient anymore."

Regarding this question, Liu Sanniang can be said to have shown women's extroversion to the fullest.

After hearing this, she immediately laughed and said to Zhu Han.

"Brother Han, I have already told my father that when I go to Jinling Mansion and settle down, I will take them to Jinling to enjoy the blessings. Whether or not I will return to Haiyang County will be up to Brother Han."

When Zhu Han heard this, he suddenly became happy, "You went to Jinling, and your father also went to Jinling, so who will be in charge of the official position here in Haiyangwei?"
