Chapter 121
Yu Tonghai opened his arms unceremoniously, and gave a warm hug to several senior counselors, which made them roll their eyes, especially Liu Ji, who was dressed in white clothes and spotless on weekdays, with a bit of cleanliness. With Tong Hai hugged like this, two big black handprints were printed on the back of his pure white clothes.

"To attack Jiqing, we need at least fifty warships. Brother Yu, how many warships did you bring with you this time? If there are not enough fifty, I will borrow some from Marshal Guo." Zhu Yuanzhang looked depressed Liu Ji asked with a suppressed smile.

Yu Tonghai laughed loudly: "Brother Zhu, you underestimate me too much. In the past few years, you have been developing and growing, and I am not idle brother. Let alone fifty, you just want a hundred. I'm fine. To be honest, this time, I brought all the brothers on the water to join me. There are 130 and seven warships in total, and the three heroes on the water are 710. In the future, as long as it is a battle on the water, our brothers will cover it all. .”

130 seven ships? 710 three people!
At first, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about his soldiers who were not proficient in water warfare, but now, Yu Tonghai's arrival was like a timely help, which greatly relieved his urgent need.

"Okay! Brother Yu, you will be the commander of my navy from now on! Send an order to set up a banquet, and treat our navy brothers who came from afar tonight!"

Ever since, on such a rainy evening, the two former King Kongs of the Ming Sect joined Zhu Yuanzhang's command. On the same day, a group of pirates and water thieves transformed into a meritorious army for the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

"Attack quarrying first, and then break peace!" According to the tactics finalized by Liu Ji and others, Yu Tonghai and others drove a small boat along the winding Qinhuai River, pretending to be small merchants selling vegetables into the city, carrying The cabin was full of ambush soldiers, and they slipped into the bustling Jiqing City.

Tang He, Xu Da and others led troops from the garrison, joined forces with the soldiers who sneaked into the city, easily captured the bustling city, and beheaded the local defenders.

A few days later, Liu Futong, who received the head of the guard of Jiqing, looked at the evidence of treason sent with him, sighed, shook his head and said: "First Hanyang, then Jiqing, the overall situation in the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid it will be chaotic."

Sure enough, the news that Jiqing had been captured by Zhu Yuanzhang had spread, and Chen Youliang, who was far away in Hanyang, immediately raised the banner of rebellion.The Xinmingjiao claimed that there were too many treacherous ministers in the imperial court, especially Zhu Yuanzhang. He ignored the favor of the imperial court and sent troops to capture Jiqing City without authorization, which was a heinous crime committed by the superior.Chen Youliang proclaimed himself the "King of Han", changed his country's name to Dahan, and led his troops to march to Jiqing to attack Zhu Yuanzhang on behalf of the imperial court.

After Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng also spoke out, saying that the current situation in the south of the Yangtze River is chaotic, and all regions support themselves, proclaim the name of the country "Great Zhou", respect Han Lin'er as the emperor, establish himself as the king of Cheng, and inherit rich areas such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

When these news reached Jiqing, all the generals were filled with righteous indignation and cursed one by one: "What? Make yourself king? What's the difference between that and rebellion? This is clearly bullying us. Marshal, you can also be called king!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry. He looked at the generals below coldly, and then asked: "What's the advantage of being king? Why should I be king? Today's world is no longer the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods. It’s time for someone to walk with you. In this era, princes and generals are nothing but strength! Strength is the most important thing! Become king slowly and accumulate food widely. Since Chen Youliang wants to fight, let’s fight him hard! I this Confused third brother, let me wake you up myself!"

But when Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing for Chen Youliang wholeheartedly, an unexpected thing happened.

Bewitching his eldest brother Zhang Shicheng, he even launched an attack on Zhu Yuanzhang's territory!

This startled Liu Ji and the others. They couldn't understand what benefits Zhang Shicheng did.

The truth is very simple. Three years ago, by the Yanming Lake, Zhang Shicheng thought that Min Min Te Moore was young and harmless, so he tore off a piece of silk from her body, let her go quietly, and filled her with the blood of wild deer in the forest. Zuo Minmin's blood tricked Zhu Yuanzhang.After Min Min Te Moore returned to Dadu, he thanked Zhang Shicheng for not killing him, and sent someone to send him a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.After this matter was learned by Wang Baobao, he took advantage of it, threatened and lured him, and under the persuasion of carrots and sticks, Zhang Shicheng, a tough guy who had knocked out a few teeth from the Yuan army, finally reached an agreement with Da Yuan. Allied underground.

Of course, Zhang Shicheng was not a fool, the reason why he catered to Wang Baobao was nothing more than to extort more gold and silver treasures from Da Yuan.Wang Baobao regarded him as a fool, but he did not regard Wang Baobao as a normal person.

The matter of Zhang Shicheng's surrender can be summed up in one sentence: Two people who thought each other were stupid sat together with evil intentions, and reached some ulterior secrets for their own interests.

But this time, under Wang Baobao's lobbying, he carefully analyzed the situation in the Jiangnan area with Zhang Shicheng, and made Zhang Shicheng realize from the bottom of his heart that the biggest threat to Jiangnan was Zhu Yuanzhang.

So the situation we mentioned above appeared. When Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing for the battle against Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng's troops launched a fierce attack on Zhenjiang City under Zhu Yuanzhang's command.

But I have to say that Zhang Shicheng's luck was really not very good, because the general stationed in Zhenjiang at that time was Chang Yuchun.

The man was fierce, very fierce, quite fierce.

In today's terms, there is quite a two-way spirit of being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

When Zhang Shicheng's troops came, Chang Yuchun didn't even think about it, and led his men to charge out. Several violent counter-charges stunned Zhang Shicheng's troops. Even the general in charge of the siege They are all thinking: Is it me attacking the city, or you attacking the city, why doesn't it feel right?Before the poor general could think through this issue thoroughly, Chang Yuchun had already led his men to cut his troops to pieces.When he came back to his senses, his head had been completely separated from his neck.

After repelling the troops who came to attack the city, Chang Yuchun was furious, thinking that Zhang Shicheng came to attack Zhu Yuanzhang's territory, it was really uncharacteristic.After thinking about it, Chang Yuchun, who couldn't swallow this breath, didn't ask Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions. He led people all the way south, attacked cities and villages, conquered 13 important towns such as Changzhou and Ningguo, and opened the way to Jiangxi.

The depressed Zhang Shicheng couldn't say anything after suffering such a big loss, after all, he was the one who made the first move.

The common people could see clearly, and they immediately understood whether there was a future in hanging out with Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhang Shicheng.

Among them, among those who saw the situation clearly, there was a guy in a high position. His name was Kang Maocai, the guard of Hongdu (now Nanchang, Jiangxi), and one of the veterans of the Jiangxi Army.
