Chapter 81 The Professionalism of Mountain Artillery

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang were fighting in Poyang Lake, Zhang Shicheng, as the king of Cheng, had received a letter of help from Chen Youliang before the war.

Chen Youliang's attitude is very sincere and clear, hoping that he can send troops to assist him in encircling Zhu Yuanzhang, and then divide the world.

But Zhang Shicheng, who was born as a landlord chaebol, is obviously not a vegetarian.

He seemed to see Chen Youliang's true intentions!

He knew that Chen Youliang, a bastard who pretended to be pure on the surface and tender on the mouth, was not a good bird at all, and to put it mildly, he was a scumbag who pretended to be a good man on the surface but was actually a scumbag who ate people and did not spit out bones, and it was impossible to share the world with him.

It's impossible in this lifetime.

It's okay to coax children with this kind of trick, but if you want to deceive me, you're blind.

Maybe this is what Zhang Shicheng really thought in his heart at that time.

So he decisively rejected Chen Youliang's request.

At the same time, he adopted the same strategy as in the Battle of Longwan: do not participate, do not compromise, let the two of you fight upside down, and have nothing to do with me.

It's best for the two of them to ascend to heaven together to finish playing, and it will save me more trouble.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang were fighting hotly, Zhang Shicheng, who was watching the game, was not idle.

At this time, he was busy making money.

Scoop up the money of the wolf cubs of the Yuan Dynasty government.

Because after the establishment of the Great Zhou regime, he began to expand the territory, and under the double blow of huge funds and military forces, Pingjiang (now Suzhou), Huzhou, Jiaxing, Songjiang (now Shanghai) and Changzhou were quickly conquered.

When Zhang Shicheng took Pingjiang, he had never been to Pingjiang before he found that there was such a rich place in the world.

Here, you can grab any handful of dirt and get out of it.

Compared with Pingjiang, Gaoyou, a broken place, is simply too poor, and the poor scum is even poorer.

Compared with his current identity as King Cheng, Gaoyou's broken place can't set off his high-ranking identity at all.

Pingjiang is worthy of him, at least the people here are rich.

And he is their landlord and the boss of all of them!

So he resolutely moved from Gaoyou.

Moved the capital to Pingjiang.

Still proclaimed: King Cheng!

Everything seems to be going well.

But when he set the capital in Pingjiang, there was a group of people who were unhappy, and when they saw that Zhang Shicheng, who was born in a chaebol, came to Pingjiang, they had long been greedy for his hundreds of millions of net worth, and they decided to knock him a few times!

Scoop up some oil and water.

This group of people is the Yuan Dynasty garrison who has just been sent by the Yuan army to Pingjiang to station, and the name of the leader is Yang Tongguan.

He is a Hmong.

And Yang Tongguan has 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command!

The Yuan Dynasty was obviously unwilling to be defeated by Zhang Shicheng, so after Zhang Shicheng took Pingjiang, he sent Yang Tongguan to deal with the mess of Pingjiang.

Yang Tongguan also seems to give Zhang Shicheng a lot of face, since he came to Pingjiang, he has taken care of his business for three days and held his field.

For Yang Wan, Zhang Shicheng is a headache.

Because this guy can not only write but also martial arts, he has organized the Miao family teenagers to resist the invasion of the Red Turban Army since he was a teenager, and he is a well-known handsome person who can enter the prime minister in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty also gave him a "Yang Wanzhi" title in recognition of his merits, which means to praise him: a perfect person with both loyalty and righteousness.

The Yuan Dynasty sent Yang Tongguan here at this time, obviously deliberately targeting Zhang Shicheng, trying to regain Pingjiang while finding fault.

It is impossible to defeat Yang Tongtong, because this deflated third man not only has 200,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but he is also proficient in the art of war, and it is obviously impossible to conquer him by force.

Since Yang Tongguan came to Pingjiang, Zhang Shicheng has fought with him several times, but the result has been his defeat.

After many failures, Zhang Shicheng began to try to buy with money, but the bastard didn't seem to be too interested in money.

I spent a lot of money to try to buy him off in the end, but it didn't work out.

Zhang Shicheng was very helpless about Yang Tongtong, a bastard who couldn't buy and buy, and didn't eat at all.

Yang Tongguan, you are a deflated three, I didn't look for you and didn't mess with you, why are you staring at me.

Do you have to kill me to make you happy?

Later, Zhang Shicheng's own brother and the most talented brother Zhang Shide was caught by Zhu Yuanzhang and was killed, and Zhu Yuanzhang's Liangzi was settled, in order to avenge his younger brother, Zhang Shicheng began a crazy revenge, and Zhu Yuanzhang also began a fierce counterattack, and most of the final results were won by Zhu Yuanzhang's side.

Faced with this situation, Yang Tongguan, who was not a good bird in the first place, also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

The war on two fronts was absolutely fatal for Zhang Shicheng.

Originally, Zhang Shicheng, who couldn't beat Yang Tongguan but could carry it, can't even carry it now because of Zhu Yuanzhang's mixing.

In order to avoid being ruined by Yang Tongguan and raiding the city and copying his hometown, and in order to better retaliate against Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng, who had just established himself as king, finally made a decision.

He decided to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty again.

Return to the embrace of the mother.

For Zhang Shicheng's surrender, the Yuan Dynasty naturally welcomed it.

The government of the Yuan Dynasty, which had been dealing with him before, did not treat Zhang Shicheng badly, rewarded him with the official position of a lieutenant, put him in charge of transporting grain from the south to Beijing, and asked Zhang Shicheng, who voluntarily surrendered, to supply 110,000 stone of grain to the court every year.

Zhang Shicheng, who took the initiative to surrender and was obviously inferior, did it in the first year according to the requirements of the imperial court, and handed over the grain on time, and after handing over the grain, Zhang Shicheng hoped that the Yuan Dynasty government would crown him king!

He was the king before he surrendered, and now it is not a loss to be a king under the face of your Yuan Dynasty.

Zhang Shicheng's ideal is very good.

But the government of the Yuan Dynasty directly rejected his request!

Maybe in the eyes of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, this bastard who surrendered is a mountain cannon who allows himself to be bullied, and if you want to be a king under my nose, you won't see what you look like!

Zhang Shicheng, who was rejected, was unhappy, he didn't expect that he had spent money and effort to make no gains in the end, and he had lost 110,000 stone of grain in vain.

Losing money is a small matter, but face is a big matter!

made a reverse string, and in the end, it didn't please me.

Zhang Shicheng was not happy about this result.

He was not happy.

He was upset.

The big shit request to give me a throne can't even satisfy me, why am I messing around behind your ass?

Zhang Shicheng, who was estranged from the Yuan Dynasty, was resentful, and he was very dissatisfied, and he decided to find an opportunity to regain his independence.

You dwarf-looking bastards, wait, wait until I get a chance to clean up you idiots!

It just so happened that at this time, Yang Wanzhi and the Yuan Dynasty general in Hangzhou, Da Zhi Ti Mu, had a conflict with each other, and both tried to win over Zhang Shicheng, who had just surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, to kill each other.

At this time, Zhang Shicheng, who seemed to see the opportunity, was not ambiguous, in view of the fact that he was bullied by Yang Wanzhi a few days ago, Yang Wanzhi, who had never played and had not bought it, became the first object of his cleanup.

He first accepted Dazhi Timu'er's request, and the two joined forces to kill Yang Wanzhi.

When Da Zhi Ti Muer was very happy to kill his political enemy, Zhang Shicheng, who had already been prepared, also looked at the fool in front of him with a smile, and once again played the kind of murderous trick he used to enjoy with a smile on his face.

In laughter, he raised the scimitar in his hand, and in laughter, he slashed Dazhi Timu alive.

After completely killing the two, Zhang Shicheng, who was born as a businessman, was not idle, and Zhang Shicheng, who lost 110,000 stone of grain in a few days ago, has always adhered to the four principles: We don't do it at a loss, so after killing the two, he first took all the soldiers, horses, and money of the two to himself.

Then he ordered the soldiers to occupy Hangzhou, Huzhou and other areas in one fell swoop.

After doing all this, Zhang Shicheng, who has completely occupied large areas such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Shanghai, and is absolutely rich, decided to claim the king again when he was satisfied.

And this time he did not continue to use the previous title of King Cheng.

Perhaps in his opinion, the title of King Cheng is no longer auspicious for him, because since he proclaimed himself King Cheng, his bad things have not stopped.

was either bullied by the group of bastards in the Yuan Dynasty, or he fought with his neighbor Monk Zhu and kept fighting.

Therefore, Zhang Shicheng, who felt that the conditions had been fully matured, decided to abandon the title of King Cheng and changed his name to: King Wu.

respected his mother Cao as the princess, set up subordinate officials in Pingjiang according to the status of the king, and spent money to build a palace in the city.

I have never found any record in the history books about the merits of the title King Wu.

I really can't think of anything good about this King Wu name, and it doesn't feel like a mouth has any special meaning, but not long after Zhang Shicheng called himself King Wu, Zhu Yuanzhang also called himself King Wu.

The two of them have already started a battle just under the name of King Wu.

In history, in order to prevent conflicts between the names of the two people, and to better distinguish the different political identities of the two, Zhang Shicheng was called the king of Eastern Wu and Zhu Yuanzhang was the king of Western Wu.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had completely solved Chen Youliang's Han regime, could finally free up his hands to deal with Zhang Shicheng's trouble.

For Zhang Shicheng, who grabbed land with himself to earn a name, Zhu Yuanzhang was also unhappy.

This mountain cannon that continuously called for war with himself, Zhu Yuanzhang told him a truth with his actual actions.

Under the whole world, only one king of Wu is allowed.

That's me.

Zhu Yuanzhang.

As for you, King Wu, get out of here as soon as possible.

In the twenty-fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang led his Zhu family army and began to launch a military offensive against another political enemy, Zhang Shicheng.

Facing Zhang Shicheng, a bastard who is really rich and can't do anything about him in terms of money, Zhu Yuanzhang roughly divided the offensive plan into three steps.

First of all, the first step was to eliminate Zhang Shicheng's forces north of the Yangtze River.

There is only one purpose for this, that is, to eliminate Zhang Shicheng's troops as much as possible with his superior forces.

After the specific strategy was determined, Zhu Yuanzhang first ordered Xu Da to lead his troops to attack Taizhou and Tongzhou (Nantong, Jiangsu).

When these two places were taken, he ordered Xu Da to lead his troops to surround Gaoyou.

For Gaoyou, Zhang Shicheng cannot be discarded, because this is his first national capital.

He raised troops in Gaoyou, which can be said to be his first base.

So when he heard that his Taizhou and Tongzhou were taken by Zhu Yuanzhang, and that Monk Zhu led his troops to surround Gaoyou, Zhang Shicheng quickly sent a naval army upstream from the Yangtze River to rescue Gaoyou.

Zhu Yuanzhang will never let go of the reinforcements, and at the same time, in order to express his respect for Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang chose to personally face Zhang Shicheng's army.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already taken Taizhou and other regions, let Xu Da rest assured that he would capture Gaoyou, and capture Huai'an, Huaibei and other regions, while he personally led his troops and horses to clean up Zhang Shicheng from the downstream.

There were two people who accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to attack.

They are Wu Liang and Wu Zhen.

And in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was so strong that even Chen Youliang, a thug, could be killed together, he didn't dare to take it lightly.

For Zhu Yuanzhang's victory, it should be beyond Zhang Shi's sincerity, he didn't expect that Chen Youliang, who has always been unruly, would be planted in the hands of a stinky monk.

Chen Jiusi, you useless thing!

Chen Youliang, you waste dim sum who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures.

You can't even deal with a monk who asks for food, what's the point of your life.

Die early, and I'll take care of the rest!

I'll do what you haven't done yet,

I'll do the bastards you didn't kill!

In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's strong attack, he sent hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to help defend Gaoyou.

When Zhang Shicheng's soldiers and horses had not yet arrived in Gaoyou, and had just come to Jiangyin, a group of soldiers and horses who had already made sufficient preparations blocked their way.

At the same time, unprepared by the opposing side, a military surprise attack was launched.

The other group of centaurs appeared behind them completely unexpectedly, and launched a fierce attack on the invading enemy under the front and rear attacks.

The final result was that 2,000 soldiers and horses were captured, and at the cost of capturing hundreds of warships, Zhang Shicheng's soldiers and horses were defeated in the first battle.

After killing Zhang Shicheng's reinforcements, Zhu Yuanzhang did not let his soldiers and horses idle.

He ordered his soldiers to launch an offensive in several nearby areas, gradually clearing a large area north of the Yangtze River for Zhang Shicheng.
