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

Chapter 88 Hit local tyrants and divide the fields [5w words have been updated today]

"Damn it! Die or die!"

"Come on, send me an order to charge forward!"

"Even if Lao Tzu is dead, you have to rescue Zhu Han!"

Tang He let out a roar, and the rebels under his command changed their posture of retreating just now, and counterattacked like vicious dogs.

Unexpectedly, the Yuan army on the opposite side was thrown into chaos by counter-killing.

As for Zhu Han, facing the heavy siege, he couldn't even notice any changes in the battle situation.

Zhu Han and the others could only desperately brandish their weapons to fend off more and more enemy troops.

Seeing that the traitor Zhu Han was surrounded, more and more Yuan troops rushed forward to fight for it.

The banner of the Chinese army in the barbarian Hague suddenly relaxed.

At this moment, it seemed that as long as the Yuan army charged again, they could completely capture Zhu Han and the others alive.

"Oh, it's over, it's over!"

"It's broken, the red scarf thief can't handle it anymore!"

"The little thief Zhu Han really can't do it!"

"Lu Weng, hurry up and change your banner!"

Above the city of Chuzhou, a group of gentry patted their thighs and beat their chests.

They had already seen that Zhu Han was surrounded and was about to be eaten alive by the Yuan army.

Once Zhu Han and others died, Chuzhou would be an undefended city.

Lu Wendao also understood that he had to quickly change the banner and surrender to fight for a chance of survival.

"Quick, change the flag!"

Lu Wendao roared loudly.

Soon, the flag of the Red Turban Army at the head of Chuzhou City was taken down, and a flag of the Great Yuan Dynasty was hoisted up.

The original flag of the Red Turban Army was thrown on the ground and trampled on at will.

The act of changing the flag on the head of Chuzhou City immediately boosted the morale of the Yuan army even more.

"Hahaha, the dog thief in Chuzhou is capricious!"

Manzi Hai Ya sneered, still thinking about the Han people who decided to liquidate Chuzhou after the war, and Tang He in the distance also saw the change of flags on the top of Chuzhou City.

Tang He's heart suddenly felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, and it became cold in an instant.

"It's broken! It's broken!"

Seeing this, Tang He thought that Zhu Han was in a doomsday situation, otherwise the Chuzhou defenders would not be able to defect.

"Heavchi, I'm sorry for you!"

"Qiwu, I'm going to die, Tanghe will die with you!"

Tang He suddenly looked like a raging lion, holding a long axe, rushing into the Yuan army's formation, killing and hacking indiscriminately.

With a strong sense of guilt, Tang He only wanted to fight to the death and fight into the siege to see Zhu Han for the last time.

"Damn it!"

At this time, Zhu Han also saw the change of the flag on the head of Chuzhou city, but he was in no mood to scold these gentry in Chuzhou at the moment.

Zhu Han had expected the actions of these gentry, but he didn't care.

Because what decides everything is not the change of the flag, but whether you can win this battle!
As long as he defeated the Mongolian Yuan army outside the city, it would have no effect on what banners were hung in Chuzhou City.

Because Zhu Han was cursing Chen Baodao and Hu Yiba.

"Chen Baodao, Hu Yiba!"

"My ancestors! You are still not attacking, you want to see me die!"

The guards on Zhu Han's left and right kept falling down, and the entire formation of Yuan army was also thrown into chaos by them.

but.

The rebel infantry led by Chen Baodao and Hu Yiba seemed to have been frightened stupidly, and they stood still in place without moving at all.

Zhu Han even felt that they might really be just like the Chuzhou gentry, preparing to rebel.

suddenly.

Just as Zhu Han was furiously scolding, a burst of roaring artillery sounded.

"kill!"

Boom!

The rebel infantry led by Chen Baodao and Hu Yiba finally started to attack.

"Come with me!"

Chen Baodao led the rebels with swords and shields to charge forward.

The musketeer and long gunner at the back alternated left and right to cover, and rushed straight to the center of the barbarian Hague.

Hu Yiba and the others pushed three cannons forward alternately to destroy all enemy formations.

"what!"

The barbarian Hague was startled.

He originally thought that this rebel infantry was frightened, but he didn't expect such a high combat effectiveness to suddenly erupt.

In an instant, it pierced through the three-layer array of defenses in front.

"Quick, go and block them!"

Barbarian Hague began to panic.

Now that the entire battlefield is in chaos, it can be said that it affects the whole body.

Barbarian Hague is like easily changing the flag of the Chinese army, and it is extremely easy to shake the morale.

Therefore, sending troops to block this wave of rebel infantry is the most correct choice.

However, most of the elites around the Chinese army were chasing and besieging Zhu Han, and there was no way to mobilize them back.

The soldiers and horses in the distance couldn't be mobilized for a while.

More than 2000 rebel infantry, under the blessing of fierce firecrackers and artillery power, quickly rushed to the barbarian Hague.

It is only thirty or forty steps away from the flag of the Chinese army in The Hague of the Barbarian!
"Hu Yiba, that must be a high-ranking official from the Tartars, give his mother a shot!"

Chen Baodao wiped the blood from his face, and shouted at Hu Yiba.

After their charge, the entire battlefield has been completely chaotic.

The strict defense of the Yuan army is gone!
"Okay!"

Hu Yiba looked up!
I saw a chubby general of the Yuan army, wearing a gilt silver armor, I don't know what kind of high official he is.

Anyway, it looks like a standard dog tartar.

"Load!"

"Prepare!"

"Fire!"

The light three-pound gun quickly completed loading and firing.

The gushing white smoke instantly obscured Hu Yiba's vision.

boom! !

Barbarian Hague was looking left and right at the battlefield when he suddenly saw a black shadow rushing towards him.

boom!
There was a loud noise, and Barbarian Hague felt his eyes go dark, and then he knew nothing, while the guards next to Barbarian Hague were screaming like ghosts and wolves.

The best range of the shotgun of the three-pound gun is exactly this distance.

The powerful iron ball swept across the side in an instant.

Many Tartar guards were beaten so badly that their muscles and bones were broken, and they fell off their horses and howled in pain.

"Zuo Cheng is dead!"

"The handsome is dead?"

Other soldiers of the Yuan army quickly discovered the tragic casualties under the commander of the Chinese army.

The majestic and majestic barbarian Hague, half of his face was beaten to rotten, lying on the ground completely dead.

"The handsome is dead!"

The soldiers of the Yuan army were frightened out of their wits.

They have all seen artillery, but they have never seen such a fierce artillery that can approach and shoot with infantry.

Now that even the handsome barbarian Hague is dead, how can this fight continue.

"The handsome is dead?"

On the noisy battlefield, the death of the barbarian Hague spread through the Yuan army like an avalanche.

The Yuan army, which was still fighting high, fell into a huge panic in an instant.

Especially some Yuan troops in the distance, they don't know the battle situation ahead.

I only know that the handsome barbarian Hague seems to have died in battle.

That means that the red scarf thief must have sent a large number of reinforcements.

How powerful the anti-thief reinforcements that can kill the handsome barbarian Hague must be!
The commander-in-chief is dead, so what a fart, running for your life is the business!

"Failed, defeated!"

"Run, run for your life!"

"Go and grab the boat!"

The Yuan army on the periphery quickly panicked!
They scrambled to leave the battlefield and ran towards the place where the ships were moored beside the Qingliu River.

As long as you can grab the boat, you don't have to worry about being caught up by the Red Scarf Army when you go down the river.

"Quickly grab the boat!"

"Failed!"

The panic and shouts all over the sky instantly shattered all the fighting spirit of the Yuan army.

Zhu Han, who was drenched in blood, felt that the pressure from the Yuan army around him disappeared instantly.

The soldiers of the Yuan army who were trying their best to rush up all scattered and fled in all directions like the tide.

"My lord, the Tartars have lost!" Lu Zhongheng shouted happily from the side.

"It's a defeat, it's a defeat!"

Zhu Han was very happy when he saw that the banner of the commander of the Chinese army in Hague, the barbarian, had disappeared.

"Kill!"

"Hague the Barbarian is dead!"

After a while, the rebel infantry led by Chen Baodao and Hu Yiba rushed to Zhu Han's side.

"Lord, look!"

Chen Baodao held a knife in one hand and a bloody head in the other.

"The head of the barbarian Hague!" Chen Baodao said happily.

What kind of barbarian Hague, at this time, he couldn't see his appearance at all, he was completely a mass of rotten meat.

"OK!"

However, this did not affect Zhu Han's mood at all.

He ordered excitedly: "Take this head up high and let all the Tartars see it, they are defeated!"

"Follow your orders!"

Just as a spear was erected, the head of the barbarian Hague was lifted into the air.

"Head of the Barbarian Hague!"

"Head of the Barbarian Hague!"

Amidst bursts of shouting, the tens of thousands of troops fell into a desperate collapse.

The few generals of the Yuan army who saw clearly the reality of the Red Turban Army wanted to continue fighting, but the strong panic had caused the army to collapse, and not many people were willing to follow their orders.

"My lord, let's go!"

"If you don't leave, there will be no boat!"

In the end, the few remaining generals of the Yuan army also gave up struggling and led their own soldiers to join the ranks of scrambling for ships and fleeing for their lives.

The drastic contrast changes on the battlefield turned Tang He's original desperate charge into chopping melons and vegetables.

The Yuan army, which had no fighting spirit, was killed by Tang He's army all over the field.

"Zhu Han!!!"

Tang He, who was fighting fiercely, suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance, and immediately shouted out in surprise.

"Brother Tang!" Zhu Han was also surprised when he saw this.

Tang He stumbled over and grabbed Zhu Han's arm.

"Haha, great, great!"

"Brother Tang, why are you here? Where's my brother?" Zhu Han was a little surprised.

"The Marshal didn't come, I just used his banner." Tang He laughed heartily.

Zhu Han was taken aback for a moment, and then felt a burst of intense fear.

"What, my brother didn't come, so it's just you and thousands of soldiers?" Zhu Han felt incredulous.

The banners all over the mountains and plains just now also resembled the momentum of tens of thousands of troops.

"Brother, I just wanted to scare the Tartars. I didn't expect you to be so brave and dare to rush out of the city!"

Tang He looked at Zhu Han with admiration.

Three thousand fought against tens of thousands, and they dared to leave the city to fight back.

Tang He asked himself, it was difficult for him to have the courage.

"Luck, is it all on my side?"

Zhu Han suddenly felt blessed by destiny!

The two rebels merged into one place, and even more powerful fighting power erupted.

The rout of the Yuan army had no possibility of counterattack. They all rushed to the Qingliu River to grab the ships.

The Yuan army crowded and trampled together, many people were squeezed to the ground, and then there was no movement at all.

By the muddy Qingliu River, many corpses were deeply stepped into the mud, and many soldiers of the Yuan army were hacked and stabbed to death by friendly troops, just to fight for the position on the ship.

Several ships collided with each other in the scramble, and instantly capsized and rolled in the torrential river.

The soldiers of the Yuan army who fell into the water had no time to escape, and drifted away with the river water along with the capsized ship.

The battle situation outside Chuzhou City is like a miscellaneous show with changing faces.

Everyone did not expect such a reversal at all.

"Ah, this, this..."

"how can that be?"

"Is the court so defeated?"

"Why are the Mongols so ungrateful?"

On the top of Chuzhou city, the gentry who had just finished changing the Dayuan flag were already stunned.

No one can accept such a strong contrast change.

The rebel army outside the city is like a god coming down to earth at this time, chasing and killing the soldiers of the Yuan army who have no fighting spirit.

The tens of thousands of troops threw away their helmets and armor, and did not care about anything except fleeing for their lives.

In the chaos, the ships on the Qingliu River fled in a hurry down the river.

Those rout soldiers who didn't board the boat even rushed into the river regardless, wanting to swim for their lives.

The entire battlefield situation was completely controlled by the rebel army.

"idiot!"

Suddenly, a roar woke up the stunned Chuzhou gentry.

Lu Wendao yelled and cursed, and then yelled sadly: "What are you still doing in a daze, go and change the flag!"

Only then did the crowd suddenly realize that they tore down the flag of Dayuan in a panic, and threw it into the mud pit.

Then, a bright red flag was hoisted up on the top of the city again.

Lu Wendao quickly ordered everyone, "Go home quickly and take out all the chicken, duck and fish!"

"Bring out all the good wine, too!"

"Put out celebration wine along the street, and don't hit smiling people with your hands, so that we can have a chance!"

A group of gentry from Chuzhou, all nodded in agreement like goose-headed geese.

Their behavior just now, according to military law, can be regarded as fleeing.

Do not!
It's not getting cold feet, it should be getting cold feet and surrendering to the enemy!
This crime is ten times more serious than running away!
They had no way to make up for it, they could only make the most humble gesture, hoping that Zhu Han would come back with a big victory and forgive them.

After half a day of pursuit, the entire Yuan army on the battlefield was hunted down and captured.

The Yuan army on the entire Qingliu River also fled without a trace.

Only then did Zhu Han lead the rebel army who fought fiercely and returned to the gate of Chuzhou City.

Lu Wendao and other powerful gentry from Chuzhou were already kneeling on the ground, waiting to be punished.

They knelt on the ground, all afraid to vent their anger.

Some people even trembled like they were sifting chaff.

What's more, under the strong fear, a gust of urine spewed out.

In an instant, a smell of shame filled the air.

Zhu Han rode on the horse and walked towards them slowly.

Looking at the Chuzhou gentry kneeling on the ground and being slaughtered.

He reined in the horse's rein and watched coldly, without speaking for a long time.

Tang He, Chen Baodao, Hu Yiba and others stared at these Chuzhou tyrants with angry faces, wishing to smash them to pieces immediately.

Lu Wendao knelt on the ground, he was so tense that he almost stopped breathing.

He had originally prepared a lot of speeches, and planned to excuse himself when he saw Zhu Han.

but.

Now that Zhu Han came in front of him, this young man exuded a strong aura of coercion, which made Lu Wendao, an old Jiang Hu, dare not say a word.

Any excuses, or lies, made Lu Wendao afraid of angering Zhu Han.

"Mr. Lu."

After a long time, Zhu Han suddenly spoke calmly.

"Deputy Marshal, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

Lu Wendao, who was as immobile as a piece of wood, was frightened by Zhu Han's words and kowtowed instantly.

"Deputy Commander, it's because we are greedy for life and afraid of death, and do such stupid things!"

"We have let down the trust of the deputy commander, we are all villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Lu Wendao yelled in a voice similar to howling.

In fact, he seemed flustered, but he also kept an eye on it.

The matter of them changing their banners and surrendering to the enemy before the battle was said to be a last resort because they were greedy for life and afraid of death.

In this way, he also gave himself the hope of surviving.

"Greedy about life and afraid of death?"

"You are not only greedy for life and afraid of death, I think you are very courageous!"

"Dare to surrender to the enemy on the battlefield, do you really think my military skills are good-looking?"

Zhu Han was still considering whether to let these Chuzhou gentry go.

However, as soon as this Lu Wendao opened his mouth, Zhu Han was completely disgusted immediately.

Now at this moment, he still pretends to excuse himself. He really thinks that Zhu Han is a fool, can't he see?
"Come here, take down all these traitors!"

"Chen Baodao, lead your troops to search their house!"

"Hu Yiba, put all these people in the Yamen Prison and guard them strictly!"

As soon as Zhu Han gave an order, the rebel soldiers who were like tigers and wolves immediately arrested these Chuzhou tyrants.

"Brother, take them all in one pot?" Tang He was a little surprised.

He could understand Zhu Han's inner rage, after all these Chuzhou gentry almost killed them.

However, he was a little surprised to catch all these Chuzhou gentry.

According to the previous steps of the rebel army, they have always been wooing these local powerful gentry.

"Brother Tang, these people are very cunning. Chuzhou is too important. If they play repeated rebellion again, we may not have such good luck." Zhu Han said.

"It's exactly what brother said, today is really dangerous." Tang He nodded and said.

Carrying the prestige of a great victory, the series of house raids by the rebel army can be said to be without hindrance.

Even the fierce tens of thousands of Tartars were beaten to ashes, let alone these young men from powerful families.

No one in the family dared to resist, and they were all thrown into prison.

"Deputy Marshal, you got rich, you got rich!"

Chen Baodao led a dozen soldiers and carried several large boxes into the lobby of Yamen.

"Get rich for what?"

Zhu Han and Tang He had just finished cleaning and were preparing to count the battle situation.

"Deputy Marshal, these powerful families not only copied a large amount of gold and silver treasures, but also a large amount of food. I took a look and it is enough for our army to feed for two years!" Chen Baodao laughed.

"Okay, that's great." Zhu Han patted the table and said.

He also didn't expect that these powerful gentry who cry for poverty every day still have so much food in storage, which is several times more than that of the Chuzhou government.

"Deputy commander, not only food, but also so many fields and houses!"

After Chen Baodao finished speaking, he pointed to the several large boxes brought in behind him.

"What are these?" Zhu Han stood up and walked closer to have a look.

"Deputy Marshal, these are all the house deeds and land deeds of their families, and there are also a lot of bond IOUs!" Chen Baodao said.

hiss!
Tang He gasped suddenly, "So much?"

There are so many big boxes, how many deeds and land deeds are there!
The prosperity of Chuzhou is much stronger than that of Dingyuan.

Zhu Han was also taken aback. Such a big box was full of land deeds and IOUs.

Whoa!
Following a sound, Zhu Han checked the land deeds and IOUs in the box one by one.

"Mother, it turns out that most of Chuzhou is controlled by these powerful gentry!" Tang He said in shock.

Not to mention the land deeds for good land outside the city, just the house deeds in Chuzhou City already occupy half of Chuzhou City.

Seeing so many house deeds and land deeds, Zhu Han immediately had a thought in his mind.

"Looks like it's time to get ready to fight the local tyrants and divide the land!"

This time the rebel army defeated the barbarian Hague and captured countless soldiers and supplies. They already have the confidence to build their own team.

"Seal it all up for me, and we'll deal with it when my brother comes back!"

Zhu Han said loudly.

"Of order, deputy commander!" Chen Baodao said.

Chuzhou's big victory, after everything is in order, it is natural to send a good news to Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Chuzhou's victorious horse rushed to Dingyuan, it happened to meet Zhu Yuanzhang who was marching in a hurry.

Most of the tens of thousands of main forces led by Zhu Yuanzhang have been left behind because of the continuous and rapid march.

Only less than 1 people can still follow Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even though it was so hard, Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that the progress was too slow, and he was afraid that it would be too late to rescue Zhu Han in Chuzhou.

but.

When Chuzhou's victorious horse arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback.

"what!"

"What did you say? Our brother defeated tens of thousands of Tartars, and even beheaded the Tartars' coach, the barbarian Hague?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe his eyes when he looked at the victory document.

The three thousand rebel soldiers and horses, even with the several thousand reinforcements from Tang He, were less than 1, but they defeated the Yuan army of nearly [-].

Isn't this a surprise? For Zhu Yuanzhang, it was a shock.

Did the heavenly soldiers and generals descend to earth?

"Marshal, it is absolutely true, the barbarian Hague was killed, and here is the head!"

The victorious messenger untied the wooden box from behind his buttocks, and inside was the head of the barbarian Hague.

The incomplete head, pickled with lime, did not rot, but it was still extremely terrifying.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the head, he immediately felt relieved.

After several days of reckless marching, he suddenly felt exhausted.

"God bless you!" Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh with a smile.

Xu Da and the others next to him were also happy from ear to ear.

"Haha, Seventh Five-Year is amazing, Zhuge Liang's descending to the world is nothing more than that!"

"Zhuge Liang is not good either, I think this is Han Xin descending to earth!"

The crowd scrambled to praise each other.

Xu Da turned his eyes and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Marshal, the barbarian Hague is the pillar of the Tartars in Jiangnan. Now that he is dead, Jiangnan will be in chaos. Shall we take this opportunity to go south?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he suddenly became energetic again.

Nowadays, there are many famines in the world, only the Yumishui Village in the south of the Yangtze River is not afraid of frequent disasters.

If he could enter the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Yuanzhang's strength might become the real overlord.

Rather than the toubob who stick to one or two state capitals.

"It's a good place in the south of the Yangtze River, but I don't know if I can eat it!" Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his chin thinking.

After all, Zhu Han's previous proposal was to 'build high walls and accumulate food widely'. If they marched to the south of the Yangtze River, it would not only be high walls, but 'rebuild the Great Wall'.

All the Yuan armies, and even all the volunteer armies, would probably be afraid of it, and even target themselves.

"Jiangnan, whether to go or not, let's discuss it after we meet Qiwu!"

Now that the heavy siege of Chuzhou had been lifted, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the whole army to rest in Dingyuan for three days, waiting for the follow-up army to catch up, and then went to Chuzhou to discuss with Zhu Han.

. . . . . . .

Jiangnan, Jiqing Mansion.

Today's Jiqing Mansion is the Nanjing Yingtian Mansion of later generations.

As the most important town in the south of the Yangtze River for thousands of years, Jiqing Mansion is also the ruling center of the Mongolian and Yuan courts in the south of the Yangtze River.

It started with Kublai Khan's attack on Jiangnan.

Jiqing Mansion was guarded by heavy Mongolian and Yuan soldiers, which played a role in stabilizing the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.

but.

In the current Jiqing Mansion, he was the first to fall into a panic.

Zuocheng Marshal Manzi Haiya died in the Northern Expedition to Chuzhou. One hundred thousand troops were killed and captured. Only more than 1 people fled back to Jiqing.

The panic instantly made the officials of the Yuan court in Jiqing lose their rules.

Jiqing City was also shocked three times a day.

There were rumors that the Red Turban Army had killed the other side of the Yangtze River, or that the Red Turban Army had killed Yanziji, or even that the Red Turban Army had infiltrated Jiqing Mansion. Many people believed it.

The entire Jiqing Mansion was in a state of panic, and officials, big and small, even wanted to secretly abandon the city and escape.

The troops in the Jiangnan Province of the Yuan Dynasty were completely lost, and they were really unable to defend Jiqing Mansion and Jiangnan.

In today's Jiqing Mansion, there are only two people who still have the prestige to maintain the overall situation. One is Pingzhang from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the Yuan Dynasty, and Bolu from Mongolia.

The other is Fan Yao, a Han native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

The Yuan Dynasty established provinces in various places, with local administrative, military and financial powers.

The big and small officials are the provincial prime minister, Ping Zhang, You Cheng, Zuo Cheng and Shenzhi Zhengshi.

Most of the provincial prime ministers are vacant to prevent signs of local separatism.

Now the left and right ministers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have died one after another, only Pingzhang and Shenzhi Zhengshi.

However, this Mongol, Pingzhang Bolu, is a guy from the royal family and aristocrats. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, he doesn't know anything about military affairs, so he is just a nominal Pingzhang.

Now that the barbarian Hague died in battle, and the Jiqing Mansion was in danger, Bolu was also in a panic, so he quickly called in Fan Yao, the political adviser, to discuss countermeasures.

In Pingzhang Mansion.

"Fan Shenzheng, hurry up and think of a way. Now that Jiqing Mansion has no soldiers, no generals, what will we do if the red scarf thieves come here!" Bolu said in a panic.

As soon as Fan Yao sat down, he saw Bolu flustered and knew that he had lost his way.

"Pingzhang, now that the [-] army has been completely lost, if we want to stabilize Jiqing Mansion, we must work together and mobilize the troops from Yangzhou to come back!" Fan Yao said.

The last force of soldiers and horses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces has been transferred to guard Yangzhou. The salt sellers there have repeatedly made troubles, which has already threatened water transportation and sea transportation.

"Okay, then I'll give the order!" Bolu nodded quickly.

"Pingzhang, in addition to mobilizing Yangzhou's soldiers and horses to defend Jiqing, we must also impose a strict martial law on Jiangfang, and be ready to meet the enemy at any time. After all, I heard that many warships were captured by bandit soldiers." Fan Yao said.

"Okay, I will also order the deployment of the Yangtze River!" Bolu nodded again and again.

The entire Jiqing Mansion was immediately put on defense nervously.

On the opposite side of Jiangbei, the main force of the Red Scarf Army led by Zhu Yuanzhang finally came to Chuzhou.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the battlefield outside the city, his heart was filled with strong pride.

The battlefield is full of corpses and equipment discarded by the Yuan army, and there are countless tents and equipment of all kinds.

Even though Zhu Han had ordered to clean up the battlefield for three days, there were still many left outside the city.

"elder brother!"

There was a shout, and Zhu Han led Tang He, Chen Baodao and others to rush towards him.

Zhu Yuanzhang also went forward happily and grabbed Zhu Han's arm.

"Qiwu, show us quickly, are you okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang worried.

Zhu Han patted his arms and legs, laughed loudly and said:
"Haha, brother, don't worry, I haven't hurt a single hair on my whole body!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little worried, so he looked at it carefully again.

"It's really all right, and it's grown taller!" Zhu Yuanzhang said happily.

"Haha, I eat meat three times a day just to grow taller!"

Zhu Han was already 14 years old, and he was about to grow taller, and he was almost as tall as Zhu Yuanzhang after a month of seeing him.

The joy of meeting two brothers.

After entering Chuzhou City, Zhu Han even showed Zhu Yuanzhang the piles of spoils seized in the city.

"Brother, look at these armors, enough for all our soldiers to wear armor."

"Look at these seized arrows again, it won't be a problem to use them for two years!"

"Look at these tents again. In the future, when the army goes out to fight, they will never have to sleep in the wilderness again!"

. . . . . . .

Throughout Chuzhou City, all kinds of trophies piled up like mountains.

Zhu Yuanzhang and others were surprised and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Brother, after we have won this battle, you said that the Tartars still have soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"What kind of soldiers and horses are there? They must have been killed." Zhu Han said.

"Then tell me, if we take the opportunity to enter the south of the Yangtze River, can we do it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked immediately.

Zhu Han had already thought about this problem.

"Brother, to be honest, I don't think now is the best time!" Zhu Han said.

"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"There are two reasons!" Zhu Han stretched out his finger and said.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he knew that his brother had already thought it through.

Immediately pulled a chair and sat down, ready to listen to him slowly.

"Tell us quickly, what are the two reasons?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"First, our roots are in Jiangbei. There are a large number of refugees here. There are natural disasters and man-made disasters. They are all unable to eat, so they follow us to rebel. However, Jiangnan does not have this condition. The people and powerful people there can starve to death. Don't worry about being attacked by the rebels, it will be difficult for us to replenish the follow-up troops." Zhu Han said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded quickly, agreeing with Zhu Han's statement very much.

Now in the north, there are almost a million rebel rebels, but in the south of the Yangtze River, except for sporadic small groups of rebels, there is not even a wave of waves.

"What else?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"Second, if we want to win Jiangnan, we must have enough strength. Not only can we suppress the powerful and common people in Jiangnan, so that they can obediently cooperate with paying food and taxes to replenish soldiers, but we must also have the strength to defend against friendly troops!" Zhu Han Said calmly.

"Defense against friendly forces?"

As soon as these words were said, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He, Guo Ying and others were all surprised.

Everyone is a rebel army, and those who rebel are all Tartars, why should we guard against friendly troops.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak.

Zhu Han knew that his elder brother had the same idea as him.

"Now all the rebels are following Liu Futong's orders. I heard that he has been looking for Han Shantong's son Han Liner, and wants to help Han Liner become the new emperor. Think about it, everyone. If we take down this big piece of meat in the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Futong will Will they watch us take it all?" Zhu Han said.

Only then did Xu Da, Tang He and the others understand.

"That's right, such a fat place in the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that it is a good place where you can wade out oil and water if you step on the soles of your feet. If I were Liu Futong, I would definitely not be reconciled!" Xu Da nodded and said.

"It makes sense, not to mention Liu Futong, even Xu Shouhui from Huguang, I'm afraid he will follow the Yangtze River to snatch Jiangnan from us!" Tang He nodded.

Today's Red Scarf Army is basically divided into two branches, the North and the South.

The northern branch was ordered by Liu Futong, as long as it was active in the Jiangbei and Shandong areas of Henan.

The southern branch enshrined Xu Shouhui as Emperor Tianwan, and its main activities were in the Hubei area.

"In that case, the Jiangnan piece of fat can only be watched?" Zhu Yuanzhang still felt a little regretful.

Zhu Han smiled slightly and said, "Brother, fat meat can't be swallowed in one gulp, but we can slowly absorb the fat and water on it!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang and others heard this, they immediately regained their spirits.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"We occupy the treasure land of Jiangbei, which is the closest to Jiangnan. Although we can't fight there immediately, we can take advantage of it!" Zhu Han laughed.

"How to take advantage?"

Everyone stared at Zhu Han with wide eyes.

The big guys were all happy at first, looking forward to entering Jiangnan and living a good life of drinking and meat every day. They were a little disappointed just now, but now they were mobilized by Zhu Han.

"Brother, the Jiangnan area is separated from us by the Yangtze River. We have killed so many Tartars one after another. They must have been scared out of their wits. The most fearful thing is that we will fight across the Yangtze River." Zhu Han said.

"That's right, there are only 2 or [-] Tazi officers left in the south of the Yangtze River. If we really kill them, they will really be unable to guard against them." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"At this time, if we assume the posture of a large-scale attack, take the opportunity to extort some food and money from Yuanting, and then force them to open waterways for trade, it will be equivalent to turning Jiangnan into our cornucopia!" Zhu Han said.

The war in the past two years has caused the industry and commerce to wither, and all kinds of food, cloth, medicinal materials, porcelain and other materials in short supply in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be transported and sold to the north.

In the north, there have been years of famines and wars. In addition to grabbing a pile of gold, silver and copper coins that cannot be eaten or drunk, various rebels are in short supply of all kinds of food, cloth and silk.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang and his rebel army with sufficient supplies can only guarantee three meals a day of coarse grains.

As for the rebels in the Huaibei area, I heard that they often carry piles of gold, silver and jewels, and search for food everywhere hungry every day.

"There is food in the south of the Yangtze River, and gold and silver in the north. We are in the middle. If the trade is opened up, we can change our left hand for our right hand, and change money to make money!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed from ear to ear.

"Haha, that would be great!"

"It's really wonderful. It turns out that you can take advantage of it without occupying the territory!"

Xu Da, Tang He and the others were also excited.

If the food and materials in the south of the Yangtze River can be mobilized, more troops can be fed and more elite soldiers can be trained.

"That's right, we can use the money and food from Jiangnan to support our rebel army in Jiangbei, and when we grow stronger, we can take Jiangnan directly!" Zhu Han said.

"Okay, then let's make a deal like this, brother, what do you think we should do?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"It's very simple. We just need to gather all the ships we can find, and then put out a flag to kill them on the water of the Yangtze River. As long as we scare the officials of the Yuan court in the south of the Yangtze River, we can do whatever we want!" Zhu Han Said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, suddenly thought of a question, and asked immediately.

"Brother, what if the Tartar officials refuse to agree? I mean, what if they are not afraid?"

"Hey... Brother, there is no one who is not afraid of death. We just want the money of the Jiangnan Tartars, but not their lives. How could they not agree?" Zhu Han laughed.

Afterwards, Zhu Han rang out a joke from his previous life, and said casually.

"Your life belongs to you, and the money belongs to the court!"

"As long as you are not a fool, it is impossible not to agree."

When Zhu Yuanzhang and others heard this, they were taken aback for a moment, and then they all burst into laughter.

Hahaha!
"That's right, we have to decide on the food and money in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand boldly!

Immediately ordered the ministries to repair the captured ships, and then released the news that they were going south to attack Jiqing Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River!

After everything was arranged properly, Xu Da, Tang He and the others took their respective tasks and left.

In the Marshal's Mansion in Chuzhou, only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han brothers were left.

Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time: "Brother, I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing Zhu Han's mysterious appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled.

"What's the matter, making it so mysterious?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Han smiled, and then said: "Brother, the powerful gentry in Chuzhou rebelled and almost killed me, do you know about this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he had already heard about this from Tang He.

"Those bastards, haven't they all been locked up in prisons? They'll have their heads chopped off tomorrow!" Zhu Yuanzhang said fiercely.

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Zhu Han waved his hands repeatedly.

"Why, don't you want to kill these traitors?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked suspiciously.

"Brother, I have another better way!" Zhu Han said.

"What way?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked quickly.

"Fight local tyrants, divide the fields!"

Zhu Han spat out six words seriously.

"Beat local tyrants, divide the land? Who are you going to distribute their property to?" Zhu Yuanzhang has only heard of beating local tyrants, and has never thought about dividing the land.

Since ancient times, it has always been a matter of course to kill a group of 'lords' and take their fields as their own.

I have never heard of the fact that the acquired land should be distributed to others.
