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

Wang Baobao drew a big cake for Louis, and at the same time assured that the artillery they wanted would be delivered soon. The artillery with a longer range than the Daming artillery might be delivered later because it was heavier.

Regardless of whether the artillery came early or late, Louis immediately beamed with joy when he heard that he had artillery with a range longer than that of Daming.

Do we have more advanced artillery than Ming Dynasty?

That's really good!
Louis was so excited, he patted his chest and promised: "Please rest assured, Grand Master, we will definitely be able to stop Da Ming's attack and protect my sanctity...Xi Yuan will not be violated!"

Just now I wanted to talk about Holy Rome, but after thinking about it... the person in front of me is Xi Yuan's grand master, an existence under one person and above ten thousand in Xi Yuan, so I should stop looking for excitement.

A little earl is not seen by the other party at all, he wants to take his own life, that is too simple.

Wang Baobao, as if he didn't find that Louis said something wrong, said very appreciatively: "Count Louis is loyal, and after the second battle, he will definitely ask for credit for you."

"Thank you grand master!"

As soon as Louis thought of Wang Baobao asking for credit for himself, his title could be raised to another level... Such a good thing made Louis wish he could go into battle for Wang Baobao to drive away the Ming army.

"Teacher, I'm going to prepare the soldiers and horses."

"Go, Count Louis!"

Looking at Louis who left, Wang Baobao couldn't help but sighed.

Louis doesn't look stupid, why does he believe everything he says?Such a person, Wang Baobao is really worried about using it.

After sending Louis away, Wang Baobao began to look at the map again.

Now, he already knows that the generals of the Ming army who occupied Provence were Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin.

Wang Baobao had heard of the name Zhang Dingbian.

Zhou Buxin?
never heard of that.

Considerable Zhou Buxin's military operations, every step is very stable, coupled with the fierce general Zhang Dingbian, the siege weapon artillery, and the brave soldiers of the Ming Dynasty... Zhou Buxin can do it step by step, and at the same time, he can quickly intersperse, divide the battlefield, and eliminate The Mongolian army.

Wang Baobao sighed again, the talent of the Ming Dynasty was blowing out, and then he looked at his Xiyuan... the feeling of sunset in Wang Baobao's heart became clearer.

Shaking his head, Wang Baobao tried his best to calm down his emotions, and then began to think about the strategy to deal with the Ming army's attack.

In Wang Baobao's view, Dauphiné is not the only way for Ming's army to attack, and it is not impossible to continue to attack Genoa eastward. The Ming army can also bypass Dauphine and attack the Geneva area.

The Ming army is too powerful, and their offensive routes can also be varied.

After thinking about it...it's difficult.

It is necessary to think of a way to limit the attack of the Ming army to Dauphine, and then deploy troops from Geneva and Genoa to besiege Daming on three sides.

In addition, they can also join forces with the Kingdom of Aragon and the Valois Dynasty to jointly cut off the logistics supply line of Ming Dynasty.

Without logistical supplies, once Daming's artillery lacks the necessary gunpowder and shells, it will be a pile of scrap iron...

At present, this is the best way, and it is also a very difficult way for Wang Baobao.

However, no matter how difficult it is, we must persevere!

After Wang Baobao made a plan, he immediately sent someone to contact the Kingdom of Aragon and the Valois Dynasty, and he wanted to go to the front line to take a look. He knew that Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin appeared from behind for himself, to tie Zhang Ding The only way for Bian and Zhou Buxin is to show up and make them think that they are in Dauphine.

……

Just as Wang Baobao thought, Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin were here to stare at him.

If they found Wang Baobao, they would stare at Wang Baobao and fight. If they didn't find Wang Baobao, they would fight everywhere. As long as they could beat Wang Baobao, their goal would be accomplished.

Zhang Dingbian and Zhou Buxin, they have one weapon and one article, and they cooperate quite tacitly. Zhang Dingbian is in charge of fighting, and Zhou Buxin is in charge of stabilizing the hearts of the people. All the gold, silver and treasures were distributed, as were the fields and horse farms, all of which were handed over to the local people.

Following those nobles, even their lives are not their own.

Following the invasion of Ming Dynasty, the land, gold and silver are all their own, and even their lives are in their own hands... The people are not fools, they know what to choose.

Who still follows those nobles!
rebel!

rebel!

The people in the Provence region began to support Ming Dynasty, and spontaneously formed an army to assist Ming Dynasty in attacking other regions.

What Zhou Buxin is doing now, Wang Baobao has also done, but he can't do it meticulously. He just wins the hearts of the people. In fact, the key is to cooperate with the nobles and absorb the nobles for his own use.

Now... Zhou Buxin has completed the steps he did not complete, and directly asked the people of Provence to serve Daming.

Dauphine, too, was at stake.

Wang Baobao climbed to the top of the city and looked at the attacking Ming army and the servant army in the Provence area. General Zhang, tell me!"

Zhang Dingbian, who was commanding the battle behind, immediately smiled when he heard the news that Wang Baobao was on the top of the city.

Wang Baobao, oh Wang Baobao, you are finally willing to show up!

Sapphire, you can't beat me this time!
"Say? Talk about a fart!"

Zhang Ding drew out his saber and shouted loudly: "Give it to me, I will capture Wang Baobao alive today."

He is not familiar with Wang Baobao, so there is nothing to talk about.

……

Sapphire's attack was also going on at the same time.

And Sapphire did a big job when he came up, together with Hungary and Osman, they shot three arrows into the territory of Xiyuan together.

The two kingdoms, Ottoman and Hungary, fought with Daming for the first time. In order to express themselves and let Sapphire see their own value, they worked very hard, almost devoting all their efforts to fighting Xiyuan.

Timur then organized soldiers and horses to stop him.

Timur, the Roman nobles are all resisting with all their strength.

In the first battle, Sapphire wanted to fight well, so when he was attacking, he placed seventy cannons in front of the formation, aiming at the city wall, it was a fierce bombardment of three rounds of cannon fire.

Then, the city wall collapsed, and Sapphire led an army directly into the city.

The method adopted by Zhou Buxin was the same. After entering the city, Lan Yu did not rush to kill, but distributed money to reassure the people. He distributed all the seized food, wine, real estate, gold and silver to the people, so as to win the hearts of the people. In this way, the common people chose to follow Daming, and then the propaganda machine in the Daming army started, telling the local people that you follow Daming, overthrow the Mongolian Yuan tyranny, overthrow the nobles here, and you can stand up as masters, and Daming protects the property of the common people Not to be violated.

In order to prevent your property from being deprived, you should learn to protect yourself... Under the propaganda of the powerful propaganda machine, more and more common people and slaves joined Daming's army and became non-staff servants. Weapons can also be used... multiple actions.

Actually, Sapphire didn't want to use these troops composed of natives either, but not now. Wang Baobao's territory is too big now, with nearly 40 troops under him, and Sapphire's troops have been at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

It's not that the numerical disadvantage cannot win, but that the price Da Ming paid was too high.

When Zhu Han sent the Ming soldiers overseas, the first thing he mentioned was to ensure the lives of the expeditionary soldiers as much as possible. Naturally, Sapphire had to obey Zhu Han's orders, so from the beginning of the war, when the native army could be used, Sapphire absolutely Don't be soft-handed, hard-to-gnaw bones to send veterans to fight. Veterans are more slick in battle. When charging, rush to the safest place. When the two armies are at war, the veterans will disappear. The battlefield is over, and the veterans immediately appeared, rushing to the battlefield of both warring parties to act as reapers.

As a result, whether it was the natives of the Sultan of Delhi, the nobles of India, or the armies of Hungary and Ottomans, they all became cannon fodder to charge forward.

This is Daming's army, a smooth one.

Sapphire also likes the captured spoils very much. If these spoils are owned by himself, every soldier can earn a lot of money, but he can take money if he wants to spend it, and the soldiers of Ming Dynasty can still share it in this regard. Clear.

When Timur came to the Eastern Front, he found that the battlefield on the Eastern Front was already rotten. The Ming army was attacking on three fronts. It had smashed the Eastern Front and was advancing rapidly. Timur wanted to gather the defeated troops on the Eastern Front. , but found that it could not be gathered at all. The 5 horses he brought from Constantinople, if they were separated on the Eastern Front, would not be enough for the Ming army to squeeze their teeth.

"Damn, how do you fight this battle?"

The painful Timur felt that his broken leg began to hurt again...

……

Overseas fights are in full swing, but in Daming mainland, it is a different scene.

Development and construction... in full swing.

A team of craftsmen set off from Jishou. After they arrived at Yingtian Mansion, people from the Ministry of Industry cooperated and recruited a large number of people to work.

After Zhu Han's unremitting efforts, the steam engine was officially used on the train. Although it can only pull thirteen sections of train skins now, this is already a milestone progress.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Han immediately informed Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, and immediately decided to officially promote the laying of the Daming train line.

Moreover, the number of people recruited this time was as high as 20.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to start the train.

When the people are not busy with farming, they can also earn wages to subsidize their families through recruiting labor from the court. Who would not like to do it?

Of course, the first railway line to be laid is the sixty-mile railway line from Jishou to Yingtianfu. The craftsmen have to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water. All work must be done with the highest standards.

However, on the second day after recruiting 20 people to work, Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Han back from Jishou.

Seeing the backlog of memorials in the Hall of Martial Heroes, Zhu Han immediately understood...Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble.

"Qiwu, come and help us think of a way."

When encountering a problem, the first thing Zhu Yuanzhang thought of was Zhu Han, and he quickly told him the whole story: "Didn't you tell us that if we want the train to run, we must recruit at least 20 people and work long hours? When we recruited the people, we didn’t tell the courtiers how long they would be working, and when they heard that they had to work long hours, they immediately objected, and the memorials were like snowflakes, which made our heads ache.”

Many people in Baiguan didn't know the function of the train at all. At first they heard that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to recruit 20 people to work, and they thought it was reasonable. How much wealth must be created by recruiting 20 people to build factories?How much will the treasury be filled?
However, when the officials heard that people were going to be recruited to build bridges and pave roads, the officials disapproved a little, and when they heard Zhu Yuanzhang said that it would take a long time, the officials immediately objected collectively.

What is Zhu Yuanzhang doing?Do you want to learn from Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang?

Some officials even directly used the phrase "Jin Dao Sui died for this river, and it has been thousands of miles away since then."If there is no dragon boat event in the water palace, there will not be much meritorious deeds of Gongyu' This poem is here to persuade.

Isn't Zhu Yuanzhang recruiting so many people just to show his achievements?

No, absolutely not.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to explain, telling Baiguan that after the completion of the railway, Daming would be able to control the world more firmly, and the common people could also break the geographical restrictions to travel all over the country, and also let the goods of Ming Dynasty travel all over the world, and also break the geographical restrictions.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know much about trains. He only heard about them from Zhu Han and then saw them with his own eyes. He didn't know much about them. Therefore, when he explained to the officials, he couldn't say anything. Han called over and asked Zhu Han to confront the officials.

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Han: "Seventh Five-Year, in the future, there will be more and more craftsmen in my Ming Dynasty. We have to find a way to let a group of people become craftsmen, so that they don't have to think about farming all year round. Do one thing: work!"

"can."

Isn't Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal referring to the workers?
Zhu Han naturally raised his hands in agreement: "Brother, your proposal is very good, I think it can be done, but before doing this, we have to let the officials understand that industry is the backbone of Daming, with industry, we can stand up Get up."

Zhu Han stretched out three fingers: "Nowadays, coal and steel are the most needed, and the other is the craftsman camp, which is the most important research and development department. We must ensure the integrity of these three departments, and we must Scale up."

Small workshops cannot meet the needs of Daming, and heavy industry groups must be used.

Then Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Brother, we can also build corresponding factories overseas. Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen wrote to me, saying that a large number of coal mines and iron mines have been discovered in Australia. The mineral reserves in this place are very rich. We Let Australia become our supply point and rapidly develop its trade."

"We think it's okay, you do it."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and said to Zhu Han: "How are you going to persuade those officials? Or... let them go to Jishou? After they have read it, no one will object, right?"

Zhu Han said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case, maybe there are more people who oppose it."

"Those who oppose are those who are greedy for profit. We can't wait for those people to oppose!"

Zhu Yuanzhang clenched his fists, with a fierce light in his eyes: "We want to use our power to satisfy our selfish desires, so we peeled off their skins!"
