A.D. 1354.

Yuan, to the fourteenth year, the first month.

Zhu Wu, the generalissimo of the Dingyuan Army and the general manager of Jinling, led 100,000 horses and water troops to cross the river.

Inside the house, the three cities of Yangzhou, Taizhou and Gaoyou are broken, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is cut off.

Zhu Chongba, the governor of Huaixi Haozhou, led the army to cooperate, cleared the surrounding area, and tuned 50,000 troops in Sizhou.

For a time, the world shook and the heroes were excited.

According to historical records, it was in this year that the people's army uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty really shook the ruler's father's base, and after that, the elite of the Mengyuan court was lost, and it could only rely on the local Han bureaucratic landlords to maintain its rule.

～～～

At the Sizhou wharf, there are more boats coming and going on the river than there are fish in the river.

The warships and cargo ships under the banner of Zhu Wudingyuan's army were endless, and there was no end in sight.

An officer of the Dingyuan Navy with a cake in his mouth jumped down from the warship, and shouted arrogantly at the Haozhou sergeant who was resting on the shore.

"Hey, get up and move the grain! We're handsome for you! ”

said, looking at the soldiers of the Haozhou Army with disdain, "Beat sex!" If you don't live with it, you can't catch up with the hot ones when you eat! ”

A few hot-tempered Haozhou sergeants were about to go up with their fists clenched, but they were immediately stopped by the officers.

glanced at it hatefully, and scolded to carry the grain.

The ships of the Dingyuan Navy are full of grain.

Zhu Chongba was short of food, Zhu Wu broke through the three cities of Huaidong, and the grain and grass were piled up, plus he had a steady stream of logistics supplies, so there was a lot of food to meet the friendly army.

The river is full of boats, and the docks are full of people.

Like ants, the soldiers of the Haozhou Army emptied one ship and rushed to the next one.

And those sailors in Dingyuan copied their hands and looked at them with a smile.

There was pity, disdain, or pride in his eyes.

They are qualified to be proud, Zhu Wu's Dingyuan army is invincible, these arrogant soldiers are fierce, and everyone is beaten by themselves.

Just like the officer who spoke just now, although he was only a thousand households, he didn't touch even the generals under the Shanghaozhou Army and Zhu Chong's eight accounts.

In addition to the arrogance catalyzed by victory, these veterans of Dingyuan all knew that the head of the Haozhou Army turned out to be just a pawn under the commander.

Due to fate, after Dashuai and Guo Laoshuai had a falling out, he became the governor of Haozhou.

It's all a poor place that is not rare for the handsome.

At this time, the officer who had just held the cake in his mouth finished eating the bread in his mouth, clapped his hands, and walked in all directions on the dock.

On the shore in the distance, Zhu Chongba led a group of people to look at the busy dock and smile.

"How much grain did Xiao Wu send?" Zhu Chongba sat on a grain bag and asked.

Xu Da held an account book, bit the tip of the pen, and stumbled and said, "By now there should be 300,000 catties, the agreement is 500,000, and there is still 200,000!" ”

500,000 catties!

It sounds like an astronomical number, but Zhu Chongba pondered in his heart, there are 50,000 or 60,000 people in the Haozhou army, all of whom are big-bellied men, and they can't withstand a few days when they are distributed to people.

Coupled with the original grain storage in Haozhou, as well as the looting of the villages around Gaoyou, how long can it last?

"You have to live a long life!"

Zhu Chongba secretly said in his heart, "You can't have food and open it up, eat it dry when you fight, and drink it if you don't fight it." You can't always reach out over there, after all, you have a short mouth! ”

However, 500,000 catties, listening to the ears of other brothers, directly shocked a few stupid.

"Good boy! How much family does he Zhu Wude have? Jiangnan is so rich? ”

"Yangzhou Gaoyou, we should have beaten down these places a long time ago, damn it, now he Zhu Wu is fat!"

"500,000 is not enough! Our soldiers and horses cheered him on, how can he get a million catties! ”

Beside him, Zhu Chongba's township party brothers were gossiping.

Zhu Chongba smiled, didn't answer, and didn't stop it.

He continued to ask Xu Da, "The armor and the like are here!" ”

Xu Da hurriedly flipped through the ledger and finally found it.

"Three thousand iron armor, eight hundred horses, fifteen thousand swords and guns, one thousand bows and arrows~~"

Zhu Chongba nodded while listening, he also knew that these eight achievements were things in the Yangzhou Gaoyou arsenal, and Zhu Wu didn't need them to send them to him.

However, Xu Da's next words made him stunned.

"There are 2,000 palms of thunder, 28 beds, and 7 artillery pieces~~ I also lent us five gunners who taught artillery, and only borrowed them for three days!"

Hiss!

Not only Zhu Chongba was stunned.

The brothers around him were stunned.

In other words, he was frightened by Zhu Wu's generosity.

Three thousand iron armor, that is, that is the three thousand iron army that dares to die! And the bed and the hard bow!

These are not enough, Zhu Wu also gave the firearms?

Who doesn't know that Zhu Wu can only rely on firearms to cross the south of the Yangtze River!

Who put this thing there, it's all a treasure at the bottom of the box, he actually sent it over and returned it to the gunner instructor?

"Bring it!"

Zhu Chongba snatched the account book and stared at it carefully, like a flower.

What a give!

This ledger is an account book that records how many things have been given over there, and you can't be wrong.

Little Five?

Zhu Chongba closed the account book, and his heart was mixed.

This kid is so generous!

This heart, this atmosphere~~!

"Chongba, we also have craftsmen here, let people study and study, and we will build it too!"

Tang He smiled behind Zhu Chongba, "With this thing, who are we afraid of?" ”

"We can't make palm mines, and artillery?"

Zhu Chongba smiled bitterly, he didn't have the idea of a firearm, at first Zhu Wu's palm thunder didn't hide it from him at all, but even if the craftsmen knew how this thing was made, the thing made was at most a firecracker, listen to it.

Artillery!

If Zhu Wu gives it, he is not afraid of you!

flipped through the account book in his hand, and the earthworm-like words on it made Zhu Chongba feel a toothache.

glanced at Xu Da, "You can't take the effort to practice calligraphy, what is this writing?" Bugs crawl better than you write! ”

Xu Da lowered his head and muttered, "I'm writing this so much that my hands are cramping, or you change someone else, I'm just quiet!" ”

"Just you know how many numbers, who don't you need to use?" Zhu Chongba scolded with a smile.

Xu Da spread his hands, "Just catch a few readers, don't you!" ”

Scholar?

Zhu Chongba sighed in his heart.

He Haozhou Army has a decent scholar from top to bottom.

Then he stood up, looked at the busy scene on the docks, and thought to himself.

"The gap between us and Xiao Wu is not only in a martial character, but also in the text!"

Zhu Wu's Dingyuan Army has long had a stable civil and military team, and more and more scholars are admiring and offering advice.

Thinking, thinking, his gaze fell on a Dingyuan naval officer.

"Hey!" Zhu Chongba shouted over there, "Zhang Yan! (A book friend wants to play a trick in the talk)

On the dock, the Dingyuan officer who was walking in all directions was stunned, and someone called his name.

Turning around, a familiar figure on the shore was waving and smiling.

It's him!

It turned out to be an old man!

"Heavy~~"

Zhang Yan just wanted to answer with a smile, but he held back again, puffed his chest, and replied lukewarmly, "Oh, heavy eight!" ”

"You kid!"

Zhu Chongba walked down quickly from the shore, punched Zhang Yan in the shoulder, and said affectionately, "You are still alive!" ”

This punch made Zhang Yan take half a step back and grinned. However, it also broke the little reserve in his heart.

"Well, I'm still alive, Chongba~~ brother!"

Zhu Wu started to train the left army in Haozhou, when Zhu Chongba was the captain of the hundreds, and Zhang Yan was his small soldier.

At that time, Zhu Chongba was righteous and cared for his brothers, charging ahead, enjoying himself last, and he was a good big brother that everyone liked.

Only later~~

"Yo, it's all a thousand households!"

Zhu Chongba looked at Zhang Yan's dress, with iron armor on his body and the logo of a thousand households tattooed on his sleeves.

"After the battle of Hezhou, it will be a thousand households!" Zhang Yan smiled, "It's not the time I beat you, it's the time I beat you off!" ”

Zhu Chongba's smile paused, and the battle with the state was the watershed between him and Zhu Wu, and since then, Zhu Wuyi has become famous, and he has also soared into the sky.

"I heard, you have military pay over there?"

At this time, Tang He asked behind Zhu Chongba.

Zhang Yan smiled proudly, took out two silver coins from his arms, and held them in his hands, "Yes, I am a veteran and an officer, and I am handsome every month, two yuan!" ”

Dingyuan Tongbao, the folk call Zhu Datou, and the soldiers call Dashuai Qian.

Two silver dollars jumped in Zhang Yan's palm, making a crisp sound.

This voice lingered in the hearts of Zhu Chongba and the others, lingering for a long time.

The Haozhou army can manage the food, and in addition to Zhu Chongba's reward, the silver depends on the soldiers to secretly figure out their own way.

"What's the use of money these days!" Tang He pretended to be disdainful, "You can also change your food and drink!" ”

Zhang Yan sneered, didn't look at Tang He's sour face, and turned to Zhu Chongba.

"Brother Chong, I'm married!"

"Congratulations!" Zhu Chongba smiled and said, "Boy, my daughter-in-law is all mixed up!" ”

"What's the mix? The handsome gave it! ”

Zhang Yan looked at the people behind Zhu Chongba, "I have military merits, the handsome picked a talented girl from the homeless people, promised to give it to me, and also gave me fifty acres of land outside Jinling City, two cows, and the handsome said, he is in one day, and our land does not need to pay grain." I can write and calculate, and now I am also in the army, being a small official! ”

said, smirking proudly, "Before the expedition, my daughter-in-law had it." If I have time in the future, I will drink my happy wine! ”

"Definitely, definitely!"

Zhu Chongba's smile was a little bitter.

Is there a real chance?

At the beginning, the person in front of him was still a skinny offspring who could be blown down by the wind, and now!

Let's take a look at those morale-filled Dingyuan soldiers in Chuanshan.

Little Five!

You're pulling us quite far!
