Fifty-three Sea vessels

"Zhang Chang is the head of the Yuan Court, and he is here for Zhao'an this time."

Li Shanchang was beside Zhu Wu, walking as he walked.

Zhao'an?

Zhu Wu sneered, "Sometimes, I really don't know what these people in the Yuan Court are thinking? No matter how much he gives, can he have this Han Wang on my head? Zhao'an, I'm the minister of Dayuan, not a thief? ”

Li Shanchang's face was weird, and his father-in-law didn't learn anything. The Zhao'an incident is actually tantamount to peace talks in disguise and an armistice agreement, which is beneficial to both sides.

It's not as simple as in the romance of the book, where the emperor gives a few official positions.

In fact, now Meng Yuan has to recruit peace, the world is in chaos, and the soldiers and horses are stretched.

If the army is used year after year, one of the biggest financial resources of the Yuan court is the salt works in the south of the Yangtze River.

Salt is an indispensable thing for ordinary people. In order to raise military spending, the Yuan court repeatedly raised the price of salt, which caused the price of salt to rise sharply.

Zhu Wuxing's troops captured Gaoyou, and the salt farms in Liuhe, Xinghua, Taizhou and other places around him were all taken into his arms, so that the Yuan court was cut off from a financial route.

The most hateful thing is that Zhu Wu stuck the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

The chaos in the north, the war in Henan and Hanzhong for many years, those places even have an incomplete supply of grain and grass needed by the army, and those generals who command the army still want to be like the imperial court, where can they feed the capital.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, since the Yuan Dynasty established the capital of Dadu, has been the lifeblood of Dadu. Every year, the salt tax, fiscal tax, rice, silk and other goods from Jiangnan are sent to Dadu through the canal.

In order to feed the royal family, officials, nobles, soldiers, and even further north, the capital of Liaodong and other places.

Zhu Wu had already blocked the canal, and the merchant ships were heavily taxed, but they could only be merchant ships and grain ships, and they didn't even think about it.

In this way, it is strange that Yuan Ting is not in a hurry. Most of those who have stored grain will hold on for a year or two. I have to say that it is a careful budget.

Zhao'an, for Yuan Ting, is already a disgraceful strategy. However, there is no way to do it.

Moreover, the ministers of the Yuan court thought that rebellion was nothing more than glory and wealth, and no matter how powerful Zhu Wu was, he was just a thief. promised high-ranking officials and lords, in time, in the Jiangnan Flower World, such a thief army will surely fall.

What they don't know is that Zhu Wu is not a person of this era at all.

Your Da Yuan's broken ship is about to sink fuckingly, and if Lao Tzu doesn't sink you with his own hands, it's not bad.

In the West Flower Hall of the Han Palace, Zhang Chang, the head of the Yuan Dynasty, was sitting in danger.

The long beard is elegant, a typical Han Confucian appearance. This time he went south, and he came with the determination to die.

Before I came, I thought that the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River didn't know what it would be like to be harmed by Zhu Wu's thief, but I was afraid that it would have become hell long ago.

The city was ruined, the corpses were everywhere, the women were ravaged in the army, and the people were like walking corpses.

However, when he docked in the boat, he froze. Jiangnan is still prosperous, the people live in peace, and commerce is thriving.

The legendary ferocious thief not only did not kill, but rested with the people.

Zhang Chang is not a pedantic reader, he immediately understood that this recruitment of an may be wishful thinking and wishful thinking.

Looking at the environment in the palace of the Han Dynasty, the furnishings. It is so simple that it is not as simple as the home of most of the five-grade officials, and the tea sets for hospitality are also ordinary goods, and even the tea is tea foam.

"Zhu Wuqi is a person, the plan is very big!" Zhang Chang said in his heart, "Dadu City thought that Zhu Wu had won the battle, and got carried away and called Wang Jianguo. But when I was in Jiangnan, I knew that his people were kind to the people and ran the place. Restrain the discipline of the soldiers, and not be arrogant. ”

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh and say, "It's difficult, it's difficult, it's difficult!" ”

Then he raised his head and saw two figures outside the window talking and laughing.

The person in front of him was in his early twenties, with a short beard, a cloth coat, and a meteor walking stride.

Zhang Chang hurriedly stood up, this person must be Zhu Wu.

"Gong Zhang, this is my father-in-law!"

Li Shanchang came in first and introduced with a smile.

For Zhao'an, the attitude of these ministers is welcome, talk slowly. Give the newborn man as much time as possible to gain more time for peace.

Zhang Chang said solemnly, "In Xia Zhang Chang, I have seen Zhu Gong." ”

The smile on Zhu Wu's face suddenly collapsed, what the hell is this called, Zhu Gong?

However, it was just a title, and Zhu Wu didn't expect him to kowtow and call the king.

He smiled faintly and said, "Sir, please take a seat, you have worked hard from afar, have you used tea and rice?" ”

"There is Lao Zhugong who cares about it, and I have used it below." Zhang Chang said with a smile, "I have heard the name of Zhu Gong for a long time, and when I saw it today, I really am a young hero!" ”

"Heroes? Ha ha! Zhu Wu smiled, "I'm afraid it's really true to eat my blood and drink my blood, right?" ”

Zhang Chang was suddenly embarrassed and silent.

"It's just a joke, Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be like this!" Zhu Wu smiled again, "I'm a fast talker." Mr. came from afar to recruit An? ”

Zhang Chang said, "Exactly, I came here by the edict of the Son of Heaven this time." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhu Wu, but the other party did not react.

"Say, if you want to recruit me, can't you give me benefits?" Zhu Wu said with a smile.

Zhang Chang said with a belly, and blocked Zhu Wu to death, I don't know where to say it. How can you meet and talk like this directly?

But you can't be cold, "Before coming down, the prime minister summoned you." If Duke Zhu is willing to return to the imperial court, he will be crowned the prince of Huaiguo County ......."

"Hahahaha!" Zhu Wu suddenly laughed, leaning forward and back, as if he had heard some joke.

In Zhang Chang's puzzled gaze, he said breathlessly, "Mr. Zhang, let's tell the truth, I didn't ..... at all."

"Ahem!"

Without speaking, Li Shanchang next to him coughed heavily, and then stared at Zhu Wu directly.

"I'm a martial artist, I don't understand the twists and turns in this!" Zhu Wu said with a smile, "You talk to Lao Li about Zhao'an!" ”

Li Shanchang smiled implicitly.

At the moment, I didn't want to stay long, so I got up and said goodbye.

In fact, if Li Shanchang hadn't kept saying that he would have let himself come forward and see him. Zhu Wu didn't come at all.

Waste your efforts!

Just out of the West Flower Hall not far away, the old man on the opposite side came to meet him.

"Old man, why are you going?" Zhu Wu asked with a smile.

"Didn't you see Zhang Chang going? I look at the man! ”

Zhu Wu smiled and grabbed the old man, "When I saw him, I just went through the motions, indicating that I knew he was coming." For specific things, let Li Shanchang toss with him. He is an official of the Yuan court, what are you looking at him for? ”

Xi Yingzhen said with a smile, "That person is also famous in history, Minister Meng Yuan, who was later taken into account by Zhu Yuanzhang and reused. But this person is a little confused, you work under Zhu Yuanzhang, and your mother always misses Da Yuan, saying I'm sorry for Emperor Yuan Shun! ”

"And then?" Zhu Wu asked.

"Then can Zhu Yuanzhang get used to him, send him to the heavens and reunite with the ancestors of Dayuan!"

Old man Xi laughed, but Zhu Wu remembered one thing, and he didn't know where Zhu Chongba was?

"The marriage of the junior will be completed later!" Old man Xi continued, "I'll find someone to send out the post in a while, and the Xie family will notify you, let's live!" ”

"This is too hasty!" Zhu Wu smiled, "Xiao San agreed?" ”

"He can't wait to go into the cave now, you haven't seen it, and you're tired of the fat girl." Old man Xi said with a smile.

"It's okay to tie the knot early, but when the knot is over, he's going to leave. Starting from Anqing, attack the important town of Jiangxi! ”

This is a strategic goal that Zhu Wu has set a long time ago, Jiangxi is located in the upper reaches of Nanjing, and if it does not take advantage of the current climate to fight down, it will have a headache in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wu continued, "Old man, over there in the craftsman's workshop, can't the sea boats still be built?" ”

"It's coming!" Old man Xi said, "The 1,000 craftsmen sent by the Pu family in Fujian have already started to work. said, pouting, "I really can't underestimate the ancients, I looked at the drawings of the sea ships sent by his family, and I was almost stupid at that time." With artillery, it is simply a sail battleship. ”

"How long will it take to launch a ship at the earliest!"

"It will take half a year at the earliest!" Old man Xi said.

"Then let's buy a sea ship directly from the maritime merchant and refit it?" Zhu Wu asked again.

"Don't be in such a hurry!"
