Chapter 130
"But with the determination to die, and with their fearless courage, they finally created the myth that the weak defeated the strong! It can be said that without the miracle of Poyang Lake, there would be no Zhu Hongwu's Ming Dynasty!"

"It's only been less than ten years. Where did the blood and courage of Chaohu Navy's invincible world go? Could it be castrated by Zhu Hongwu? Did you wash your neck like a year pig and wait for slaughter?" Ming Wang pointed to the sky with a sigh of relief. road:
"Could it be that the bloody feud between you and the ungrateful Zhu Hongwu will not be reported?"

"Shut up!" King Ming's provocative method was too effective, the sitting generals yelled at him, and the two standing ones drew their swords to cut him.

~~
Outside, as soon as they heard the roar in the cabin, the officers and soldiers immediately drew their weapons and surrounded the four personal soldiers brought by King Ming.

The four soldiers panicked and wanted to draw their swords to confront each other, but the opponent showed a circle of bows and crossbows.

The third child hurriedly pressed the second child's knife back into its sheath, and then raised his hands high.

The other two guards cast faster...

Fortunately, there were no more discordant sounds in the cabin.Only then did the officers and soldiers put away their weapons, just staring at these four.

In fact, the officers and soldiers reacted so exaggeratedly, one reason is that they cannot protect themselves now, and naturally the situation is jittery.The second is because Zhu Yu's appearance is too aggressive, which arouses the instinctive reaction of these veterans when they face danger.

~~
In the cabin.

Incompetent rage is always short-lived.After the three generals erupted in an instant, seeing that King Ming was unafraid, they became discouraged balls - deflated.

There is no need to be tricky, the military officer headed in the middle is the water transport envoy of the Water Transport Department of Gyeonggi Capital, Yu Tongyuan, Marquis of Nan'an.

The two military officers on the left and right are Liao Dingguo, Commander of the Huai'an Guard, and Yu Tongjiang, Commander of the Dahe Guard.

Just looking at their surnames, you can tell that they are all from the Chaohu Navy.

As in previous dynasties, there are generally many factions in the Ming army.Except for Xu Datang and a few others, the rest of the generals are basically adopted sons and sons, wishing to have relatives with their subordinates.

The Daming Navy is the most serious of them. One is the characteristics of the arms, which require relatively stable fleets and officers, and cannot be regularly transferred and rotated like the Army.

The second is that the Chaohu navy has always been a very special existence in the order of the Ming army, maintaining a high degree of independence.

This is a problem left over from history.

Before the first year of the Dragon and Phoenix, the Chaohu navy formed by the Liao Yongan brothers and Yu Tingyu and his son was actually the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's Hezhou Army, a volunteer army that independently resisted the Yuan Dynasty.

But in the first year of Longfeng, 20 troops of the Yuan Dynasty besieged Chaohu Lake.The Chaohu navy was under tremendous pressure, but still refused to accept the consolation.

At this time, Liao Yong'an and others heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was in Jiangbei, and that under his command was an invincible army of kings who had never committed any crimes.So he sent Yu Tonghai to break through the encirclement and cross the river, expressing his intention to defect.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's rebel army was in full swing. He judged the situation and decided to cross the river to seek Jiqing Road, which is now Nanjing, and lay the foundation of hegemony in one fell swoop.

But if he wanted to attack Jiqing, he had to pass through the Yangtze River. Zhu Yuanzhang was suffering from the lack of a naval fleet, and he was sighing in Jiangbei.Hearing that the Chaohu navy was coming to surrender, he was so happy that he jumped three feet high and even shouted "God help me" several times!
Because the Chaohu navy has thousands of warships, nearly [-] troops, tens of thousands of grains, and the most precious thing—many battle-hardened sailors, Zhu Yuanzhang is in urgent need of these, can he not be happy? bloomed?

So Zhu Yuanzhang personally led Xu Da and other generals to Chaohu, joined forces with Liao Yongan and others, and decided that the two armies would join forces to form a coalition!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who made up the last shortcoming, took over Jiqing Road in one fell swoop, changed his name to Yingtian, and became a vassal qualified to compete in the world since then!
So from the very beginning, the two sides were actually from an alliance.

In the words of later generations, it means that they are small shareholders who bring capital into the shares, not senior workers like Xu Da.

In addition, the Chaohu Navy was really desperate, Liao Yongan, Yu Tingyu, Yu Tonghai and other leaders successively sacrificed their lives for Zhu Yuanzhang's great cause, so Zhu Yuanzhang has always tacitly allowed them to maintain relative independence.

But that was all before the founding of the country.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Daming had only one boss, and that was Boss Zhu.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang has successively recruited the naval divisions of Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding, and is no longer as dependent on the Chaohu Navy as before.

The far-sighted and binding leaders of the Chaohu Navy have all passed away. Liao Yongzhong, the leader of the new generation, can't see the situation clearly. He still wants to keep his own independent kingdom and is unwilling to integrate into the Daming Navy.

He also indulged his subordinates' domestic slaves to traffic in illegal salt, which violated the interests of Huaixi nobles and eventually led to his death.

After Liao Yongzhong's death, Zhongshu Province began to crack down on illicit salt trafficking across the country. I don't know how many family slaves of these Chaohu dignitaries have been arrested, and how many bad deeds have been mastered by the court.

In particular, a large number of middle- and lower-level military officers were frequently transferred to coastal water military guards by the court on the grounds of "imperializing the Japanese".From the perspective of the Chaohu Gang, this is tantamount to drawing salary from the bottom of the pot.Naturally, you will think that the general situation is over, and you will be in constant panic...

In fact, this group of nobles from Chaohu Lake have been seriously discussing and leading their subordinates to flee.

This is not a rare thing. After Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, and Chen Youding failed, the remnants of their forces followed this path. They hid islands, plundered merchant ships, and harassed the coast. They were dubbed "Japanese pirates" by the court.

It's just that the Chaohu Navy is the victor!

Many officers and soldiers who did not participate in smuggling were unwilling to follow in the footsteps of those losers and leave their hometown and country forever.In addition, Yu Tongyuan, who is now in charge, is not a decisive leader, so he is still undecided until now.

Mingjiao took this opportunity to establish contact with them...

~~
"We want to hear, where did you get the confidence to make you confident that you can defeat the current emperor?" Yu Tongyuan and the other three looked at King Ming expressionlessly.

King Ming asked back: "Chaohu navy, isn't it invincible in the world?"

"Of course we are invincible on the water. But we are not invincible when we get off the boat." Liao Dingguo said honestly, "You don't know how powerful the emperor's personal guards are, unless we can sail on land, how can we resist their cavalry? "

"That's right." Yu Tongjiang also nodded and said: "If we fight on the water, of course we are not afraid of anyone. But even if the emperor goes to the ancestral mausoleum to worship the ancestors, we can't win by fighting on the water, we still have to go ashore."

"What if I can eliminate his personal guards without disembarking, and even capture him?" Duke Ming asked with a slight smile.

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Yu Tongjiang said with a disdainful smile: "If you are really powerful enough to let us sail on land, then we will do it with you!"

"That's right, we can't disembark anyway, if you have a way to send us and the boat to the emperor, we will join the gang." Liao Dingguo also said.

"Well, let's make a deal!" King Ming laughed loudly and said, "Although I can't let you sail on dry land, I can turn dry land into a marsh country and trap his thousands of troops in the water, just like the old days. Guan Gong flooded the Seventh Army with water! You join us to take the heads of his father and son, and it will be like picking something out of a pocket, without any effort!"

ps. The second update, and the third update, don't worry, checking...
