Chapter 58: Chakhan Timur
Chen Youliang, who has always believed that if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, and if people offend me, I will give three points, and if people offend again, I will cut down the grass and eradicate the roots of his philosophy, and he is painful and angry in the face of the defeat of Longjiang.
The defeat in the Battle of Longjiang was shameful and absolutely unacceptable to Chen Youliang.
At this time, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.
That is, after the news of the defeat of Longjiang spread, an even worse news came from the rear of his own Dabei camp.
The news is: Hu Mei, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty who had been guarding Hong and was personally appointed by himself, betrayed the revolution.
As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Chen Youliang could never have imagined that this revolutionary comrade-in-arms who was extremely valued by himself, who was also from a fellow countryman, had carried a gun together, scolded his mother, prostituted together, and fought together would betray his own revolution when he was most in danger.
This kind of completely disregarding the revolutionary friendship and comrade-in-arms between the two sides made Chen Youliang extremely angry.
Hu Mei, you are not a girl with a girl's name, you look nondescript and do some unscrupulous scum.
You wait for you.
You'd better burn incense and pray to the Buddha that I don't catch you, or I'll kill you alive.
In addition to being angry, Chen Youliang also had to find a way to deal with the security problem of Hongdu.
Because if the problem of Hongdu is not completely solved, it will inevitably directly threaten the safety of Jiangzhou, the capital of the rear.
Chizhou can be lost, Xinzhou can also be lost, but Jiangzhou must not be lost.
If Jiangzhou loses it again, it will be the same fate as Zhu Yuanzhang losing Jinling, and he will be directly copied from his nest, and then he will really be done playing.
Zhu Yuanzhang, you bald donkey.
Guys, I beat your Longjiang just to educate you and let you learn how to be a man with your tail between your legs.
You're good, you copied my Hongdu with your backhand, this is to let me return to the rhythm of mother's reincarnation.
You're poisonous.
Not only did I not take advantage of your Longjiang at all, but I also suffered a big loss, not to mention the loss of the army, it can be said that I lost my wife and the rhythm of the army.
In this kind of situation where you have taken advantage of the advantages and reaped the benefits, you should be content to be forgiving and forgiving.
But you are good, not only are you not satisfied, but you also backhanded the strategy against my prime minister, and even the tens of thousands of soldiers, horses, grain and grass with me are all returned to your surname.
If you do this, it is equivalent to nailing a nail under the nose of the uncle, as long as I am not careful, you will copy the nest.
Your hand-to-hand approach is indeed ruthless and vicious.
Ruthless enough for me to collapse all power in an instant, poisonous enough to make me disappear in an instant.
In the face of this extremely passive situation, Chen Youliang did not choose to forbear.
Under Zhu Yuanzhang's aggressive offensive, Chen Youliang asked his generals to start an all-out battle with Zhu Yuanzhang, expanding the front with the intention of blossoming more in the protracted war, trying to drag down Zhu Yuanzhang's forces.
At the same time, Chen Youliang himself was not idle.
He was unwilling to accept Longjiang's defeat.
In Chen Youliang's opinion, he can lose to Zhang Shicheng, because Zhang Shicheng is rich, and money is omnipotent in this world.
He can also lose to the Yuan Dynasty, because the Yuan Dynasty is still orthodox after all, and it is backed by a lot of army money and food, and it is understandable to do it himself.
But I must not lose to a monk, lose to a bald monk who makes a fortune by relying on women, eats soft rice and farts, and has no crotch to eat, and has no hair on his head and does not do things well, which is absolutely not allowed.
For the defeat to Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was doubly humiliated.
In this bastard year, only I have the share of bullying others, and where is it the turn of others to bully me.
Monk Zhu, don't be complacent, this failure is that uncle, I only go to the kidneys and not the heart.
You wait, let me adjust for a few days, wait for a few days for you to adjust, and see if I don't beat you out of.
After returning safely to the safety base camp of Chizhou, Chen Youliang began to think about the reason for his failure in Longwan, he believed that on the one hand, he was because he underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang's strength, and more importantly, because he was defeated in strategic weapons.
In particular, he was defeated in his own car, and he did not think comprehensively about his own car, especially in terms of strategic mobility.
After summarizing the reasons for the defeat in the Battle of Longwan, Chen Youliang ordered his people to rebuild their own warships.
This time, the warship he wants to build is even larger than the last warship, and on the basis of the big ship, Chen Youliang has also made some other articles, and has carried out certain practice on the basis of theory.
Chen Youliang built each ship with a three-story height, each ship is divided into three floors, the lower floor is used for the ship's sailors and seafarers to use as the basic power source, the middle layer is used for storing grain and grass and seafarers to rest and as a logistics reserve warehouse, and the top layer is equipped with long guns and short cannons for attacking and defending against the enemy, as the most basic offensive pioneer.
On the surface, these ships have several other advantages, in addition to their height:
The first point is that in terms of the robustness of the ship, Chen Youliang, who is the designer and builder of the ship, has obviously put a lot of effort into it, and after the hull is built, he ordered someone to wrap the ship in its entirety with iron sheets, and the top deck has been deeply processed, so that the crew can run back and forth on the splint for training, even in the vast sea, they can still grasp the training of soldiers.
The second point is that at that time, which was still considered to be a cold* alternate era, ships at sea were still in a relatively conservative stage, and the largest ships were estimated to be able to carry about 100 people, and a ship carrying thousands of soldiers and horses was far from appearing. And Zhu Yuanzhang, another rising star at that time, only had a dozen sailors in his hands, and if he got rid of the conditions that he was not afraid of breaking and sinking, he would be able to install dozens of people at most, which would be very good. In addition, there are a few ships that can really carry more than 100 people, and only a few old and broken scum ships are left, but the horn does not sound.
Not to mention this kind of garbage, not to mention having a military game with Chen Youliang, an unruly bastard, even if you let these old and rotten ships go to sea, I am afraid that they will disintegrate and drown before they reach the center of the river. In view of the life principle of protecting one's life and fighting for the Lord, it is better to let the old man avoid fighting.
The third and most important point is that in order to cut off the communication between the ship layers and the ship layers, Chen Youliang, who was born as an absolute conspirator, will not affect the overall morale of the sergeants because of the defeat of the upper echelons in wartime, Chen Youliang specially ordered someone to separate the ship floors and cut off communication with each other.
At that time, there was no reinforced steel plate as a military support, no sound insulation equipment as an isolation guarantee, and no strong national military industry capacity as a guarantee, as a rough man and a martial artist, Chen Youliang did put a lot of effort into the warship, and all the efforts can be described as well-intentioned, as the leader of the first army, Chen Youliang did make a lot of efforts for the construction of the navy.
I think that if Chen Youliang had been born in the present era, he would have been able to make his outstanding contributions to our national defense and military industry, because in such an era when the military industrial base was really backward at that time, there were really few people who dared to make the ship so big, so high, and so strong, and had the courage and courage to throw it down the river.
And after everything was done, while Chen Youliang was paying close attention to the training of soldiers, Chen Youliang, who had already learned the lessons of the Longjiang Campaign, did not rush to launch another military attack.
Rather, they are waiting for an opportunity.
Waiting for an opportunity that in his opinion can defeat Zhu Yuanzhang's deflated three in one fell swoop.
And this opportunity didn't keep him waiting long.
In the twenty-third year of Zhizheng (1361 AD), that is, the second year after the end of the Longjiang Battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, and the third year of the continuous military friction between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, the Yuan army, which was extremely angry in the face of the continuous red uprisings launched by the whole country, decided not to sit idly by.
As Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, he ordered all his soldiers to regain their strength and militarily suppress the rebel army in the Yuan Dynasty's capital, which is now Beijing.
The first opponent to be suppressed was the rebel army in the nearest Shandong region.
At this time, it was Mao Gui, a general under the command of the Xiaoming King Longfeng regime, who was guarding Shandong.
Unfortunately, Mao Gui, who was the supreme power at the helm of Shandong, had a head-on conflict with Zhao Junyong, who once claimed to be the king of Yongyi in Chuzhou, but had fled to Shandong for refuge at this time, because he chose the Yuan Dynasty as a magistrate.
I have to say that Zhao Junyong is indeed an incompetent and loser bastard, and he is also a shit-stirring stick who has no fart ability and can still set off three waves without incident, as long as he is in a place, he can live in peace.
With him, nothing can be accomplished, and there is him who harms sentient beings.
It may be that the Yuan army defiled Zhao Junyong's parents and sisters, Zhao Junyong especially hated the Mongols, and at the same time he was extremely dissatisfied with Mao Gui's appointment of the Yuan Dynasty as officials under his control, so when he felt that the time was ripe, Zhao Junyong, who had been planning for a long time, took advantage of Mao Gui's inattention to split Mao Gui alive in April of the fifth year of Longfeng.
After splitting Mao Gui alive, Shandong, which was originally relatively calm, began to have problems.
The first problem is Mao Gui's subordinate Zhao Jizu, he heard that the boss of his family was voted by a bastard with a foreign surname, and this bastard is still the person whose boss once helped, it stands to reason that Mao Gui, his benefactor, should be very grateful, but he didn't expect that this shameless scum was not only not grateful to Dade, but deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestor, and Zhao Jizu was not a fan of this scum as a loyal minister.
So, he decided to avenge his boss, so he took the opportunity to return to Yidu (now Qingzhou City, Shandong Province) from Liaoyang in July to kill Zhao Junyong in one fell swoop.
After Zhao Junyong was killed, the soldiers who were originally attached to Zhao Junyong quit, they didn't care about the relationship between Mao Gui and Zhao Junyong, they only knew that their boss was killed, and in order to avenge and shame, they decided to solve the conflict between the two sides with Zhao Junyong by force.
So Zhao Junyong's subordinates and Zhao Jizu's side did it.
After the fall of Mao Gui, the former boss of Shandong, many forces that were originally subordinated to Mao Gui saw the two sides fighting, for fear that their own interests would be threatened, and even more afraid that their own interests would be encroached upon by others, so they also began to rub against each other.
As the situation continued to heat up, in the case of what you see, what you see, what you want to try, and then try and try, finally one side took the lead and couldn't bear to move, followed by other forces one after another.
At this point, the originally peaceful Shandong was completely in chaos.
That is, when this kind of internal strife occurs because the interests of all parties cannot be reasonably distributed and the forces of many parties cannot reach a relative balance, the Red Turban Army, which is already suffering from internal and external troubles, begins to stage a cannibalistic battle of either you die or I die.
At this time, a pair of eyes hidden behind the back but had been coldly watching the eyes found an opportunity, and after seeing the time and having been carefully considered and prepared, he led a group of landlords who were almost the same as the Red Turban Army in our current opinion, but their identity was completely opposed to the Red Turban Army, and launched a surprise attack on the Red Turban Army, which had been completely out of control due to the constant disputes.
This person's identity is more special, he was not an official of the Yuan Dynasty, but he has Mongolian ancestry, and he also comes from a branch of the Horqin steppe.
His name was: Tsakhan Timur.
Speaking of this name, everyone may find it difficult to remember, and it is also very embarrassing, okay, then I will tell you about his other name: King Ruyang (in the movie "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", the iron-masked general with a round iron hat and beard with a round pot lid on his face is also the old man who absolutely carries the handle of Zhao Min's family. )
