scaring Zhang Sanfeng made Yang Feng feel quite pleasant......

In other words, Lao Zhang really can't satisfy him.

Although it is difficult to say whether Zhang Sanfeng claimed to be the old man of the Great Yuan, he did not participate in the anti-Yuan Dynasty, and when the people of Hubei fought a bloody war for more than ten years to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, he was actually a spectator on Wudang Mountain, even if the mountain can basically be regarded as a battlefield. Previously, the two Red Army armies of Nanzuo and North Zuo fought bloody battles with the Yuan army in the Nanyang area of Xiangyang, the main activity area of Meng Haima's department was Wudang Mountain, and Fangxian Junxian was the battlefield of this righteous army, and finally they fought until the whole army was annihilated, but Zhang Sanfeng still continued to be a spectator on Wudang Mountain.

This is very undeserved.

A scare counts as a punishment for him.

As for how he chooses in the future, it has nothing to do with Yang Feng, what about one and a half times the soul energy? In front of Yang Feng, it is still an ant, even a larger ant is an ant.

The man was just a passerby to him.

Yang Feng stayed at Chen Youliang's place for a little longer, he stayed until early summer, during which time he quickly helped Chen Youliang build a steel plant, relying on the relatively high-quality iron ore of Daye Iron Mine, plus Pingxiang coal down the river, to build 20 one-ton pig iron furnaces and two five-ton wrought iron furnaces. In fact, Yang Feng's habitual wrought iron furnace is an improved version of Pudlin furnace, which is close to an open hearth, and the things smelted can be regarded as low-carbon steel, plus hydraulic blast and hammer forging, a simple drill driven by the same hydraulic power, and even a small crucible steel furnace with the same hydraulic blast......

This eliminates the need for him to make springs alone.

There is also the purification of nitrate and the improvement of the gunpowder formulation process, which finally produces granular gunpowder.

And, of course, cast cannons.

Daye is not only iron ore, there is also an important copper mine, improve the smelting technology, do not need to be too high-end, with the Qing Dynasty Yunnan copper smelting blast furnace on the line, Daye copper has a large proportion of open-pit mining, nothing more than to hire miners and then mined out of the nearby smelting, and there is enough charcoal near the mountainous area, the rest of the tin is also simple, Hengyang Changning area of tin since the Ming Dynasty Wanli began to mine, at this time is nothing more than to Chen Youliang in advance to point out.

It was enough for him to cast a twelve-pounder Napoleonic cannon.

Coupled with the hydraulic breech processing machinery, there is no pressure to raise it to the level of the Napoleonic wars in one step, as long as there are cannons and enough ammunition, the counterweight trebuchet or something can be kicked to the garbage heap of history, and then the army of the Northern Expedition can be transported north by water until the credit flag shop, and then go north by land to seize Kaifeng.

All that's left is to go straight along the canal to the capital.

In addition to these industrial ones, the rest of the course there are also agricultural ones, and then there is the medical and health aspect, which is indispensable for schistosomiasis prevention in the Dongting Lake area.

As for the immortal seeds......

Yang Feng thinks it's better to let them explore the Americas!

After all, Columbus has more than 100 years to go, no matter who is successful in the future, they must be forced to explore the Americas, this work is not difficult, nothing more than to build a group of large sailing ships, and then set sail from Keelung Port to drift with the Kuroshio, go north to the Japanese country first, and then continue to drift eastward, reach the northern coast of the Americas, and then continue to drift along the southward currents until they can drift to Central America, and bring some small creatures to the Aztecs to scatter it as a success, and now if you give them directly, it is difficult for them to have enough motivation to go out.

In this way, Yang Feng stayed until early summer.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang sent a messenger to greet ......

Well, Lao Zhu is a smart man, of course he will send people to meet the angels as quickly as possible.

By this time he had already settled the north, although his army was still a step late and did not save Liu Futong, who was killed in the attack of Zhang Shicheng's subordinate Lu Zhen, but met the fleeing Han Lin'er, and then Zhu Yuanzhang placed him in Chuzhou. Originally, he did this in history, and Han Lin'er stayed in Chuzhou for a few years, and did not die until Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng fought a decisive battle.

After receiving Han Lin'er, Zhu Yuanzhang's army attacked Anfeng, but Lu Zhen and Zuo Junbi, who originally occupied Luzhou but ran to help them, did not resist Chang Yuchun's attack, so they had to give up Anfeng, who had just arrived, and then Zuo Junbi retreated to Luzhou. Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to fight a decisive battle with Chen Youliang in history, but he didn't care about him for the time being, and even An Feng gave up, but this time because there was no Poyang Lake battle, so Chang Yuchun's army surrounded Luzhou, and then Zuo Junbi knew that there was no drama, so he abandoned the city and fled to Zhang Shicheng.

Zhu Yuanzhang completely took Huaixi.

By this time, he was basically the largest separatist force, and after the armistice with Chen Youliang, his territory stretched from the Huai River in the north, to the Dabie Mountains and the border between Hunan and Jiangxi in the west, to Meiling in the south, and to the line of Quzhou and Taihu Lake in the east.

Originally, he still controlled Hangzhou.

However, the rebellion of Jiang Ying and other Miao generals who surrendered before not only caused him to lose Jinhua, Chuzhou and Hangzhou, but also lost his important generals Hu Dahai and Geng Zaicheng, one of the twenty-four generals of Huaixi, and these rebel generals all defected to Zhang Shicheng.

But Zhang Shicheng also lost the Huaixi area that should have been controlled at this time.

At this time, Zhang Shicheng was left east of Taihu Lake with Suzhou as the core, and the entire Jiangbei of Jiangsu Province to the north to Xuzhou was also his, but even so, his territory was not comparable to Zhu Yuanzhang, even Ming Yuzhen could not be compared. Of course, Ming Yuzhen's population is not comparable to him, Zhang Shicheng has a population of two million in Suzhou alone, in fact, there are not many people in Huaixi captured by Zhu Yuanzhang, at this time, the population of Jiangbei is mostly concentrated in Taizhou, even Yangzhou is only eighteen households left, Huai'an is only seven left, how many people can there be in Huaixi?

"One of the people!"

On the mighty Yangtze River, Yang Feng looked at the withered scene on both sides of the strait and sighed.

"Immortal Master, this is what troubled times look like."

Liu Ji next to him said with a smiling face.

He was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to pick up the angel, but he was not alone, but Li Wenzhong, who led the navy as an escort, plus Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao was symbolic, after all, he was only eight years old at this time, but Chen Youliang asked Chen Shan'er to pick up the angel, so Zhu Yuanzhang could only let his eight-year-old son represent him, and the rest of their old Zhu family could not represent him.

Zhu Yuanzhang's brothers and sisters are all dead.

The eldest brother starved to death with his parents, leaving a son that was Zhu Wenzheng, who was guarding Nanchang, the second brother separated from him after his parents and eldest brother starved to death and fled with his son, both father and son died, it is estimated that they also starved to death, and a third brother also died early, and the eldest sister also drove him when he was chased and killed by the Yuan army after he got married, but at this time they were also dead. Even the second sister who has the best relationship with him among the brothers and sisters has been dead for many years, this sister is very good to him, because the family can still have a little food, so she has helped this younger brother many times, and she left a son is Li Wenzhong, I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is the worst among the heroes in the late Yuan Dynasty, and the others are better than him.

Zhang Shicheng is a smuggler of salt.

This profession belongs to the knife head to lick blood, but at least it will not go hungry.

Chen Youliang's family background is the best, he has read a little book, and he has been a small official in the county, and his family background is not too bad, it is said that he not only has all brothers, but even his father is alive, after his death, his father and two younger brothers surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang and then were knighted.

Ming Yuzhen is also a farmer.

But in the troubled times, if you can get the township to raise a small army, then it is absolutely impossible to be a simple poor peasant, at least it must be a more prestigious person in the township, even if you are not a small landlord, you have to be a yeoman farmer, which is much stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang, who should be a tenant, who also has to herd cattle for the landlord's family.

I have to say that Lao Zhu is very admirable!

As for his limitations, this cannot be said to be his responsibility, after all, he can't even read words, and it is impossible to expect him to do better, especially after experiencing the rule of the Mongols, many things have been broken, and eighty years is enough time for the people to forget a lot of things, and the inheritance is basically in the hands of Confucianism, and it is not surprising that he was fooled by these in the end.

There was no way he could have known what it was like before.

Even if the books he saw after he became literate were not given to him by those Confucian scholars?

If he had the foundation of a librarian, of course he would be able to withstand the pollution of the Confucian scholars, but the problem is that he was just a blind man who almost starved to death, a poor peasant with black eyes in a dark situation that had shrouded him for eighty years, and he had to sweep away the heroes and restore the mountains and rivers and govern the country. In this case, he can't be expected not to make any mistakes, and he can't be induced by some guys with ulterior motives, but he really has to do his best to make the people's lives better, who dares to peel the skin of corrupt officials except him? As for the fact that he did kill heroes in his later years, firstly, it was to clear the threat for the heir, and secondly, it also depends on what those heroes have done.

Aren't those heroes arrogant and lawless?

Didn't those heroes already start the tricks he hated the most?

What was the trigger for Hu Weiyong's case?

Isn't it Hu Weiyong who was lynched and killed because his son fell off the carriage and died? If the prime minister ignores the law and lynches innocent people, is such a prime minister not arrogant and lawless?

It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang killed officials and generals, but has he ever killed an ordinary person in vain?

There was no blood shed on the Fengtian Temple.

The Lan Yu case, Hu Weiyong's case, and Li Shanchang's case are essentially nothing more than high-level power struggles, what do these struggles have to do with the people? Hu Weiyong is completely innocent, Lan Yu is a little wronged, but it turns out that Zhu Yuanzhang is not crazy at all, Lao Zhu just killed too small a range, and he was not willing to kill his son who could threaten Emperor Jianwen. With Emperor Jianwen's style, if Lan Yu is still alive, he will definitely be a powerful minister to control the government, Zhu Laosi may be killed by him, and then one day he will be Jiuxi, there is no emotion to talk about in politics, Zhu Yuanzhang favors Lan Yu again, as soon as he dies, Lan Yu should treat his grandson as a puppet or be a puppet, Zhu Laosi won the country or his Zhu family, but if Lan Yu assisted Emperor Jianwen to win this country, maybe whose family it was.

Li Shanchang is indeed a little wronged.

But this kind of thing is difficult for future generations to know what happened back then, not to mention that his younger brother did hook up with Hu Weiyong, so the Li family is not so clean.

At the end of the day, this is a strategic principle.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, since he has decided to eliminate the threat to his grandson to the greatest extent, then he can't let go of any potential threat, these old people are all with him, and he will not have any real respect for him for the Zhu family, after all, they know each other, of course he can suppress it when he is alive, and when he dies, he can't be suppressed at all with his grandson's weak character. He is not that there is a huge Guanlongmen valve behind the Li family, and second, he is not Zhao Kuangyin who treats Shi Dafu and allows the latter to exploit the people for bribes, so why does he make these ministers loyal to his heir? Does he expect these people to have such affection for him that they can have no ambition at all?

It's impossible.

In particular, he also peeled the skin of corrupt officials.

So the safest thing to do is to let these people all die before you.

But he's no problem with the common people!

Peeling the skin and suppressing the corrupt officials, relocating the rich from all over the country to return to the people in response to the heavens and the earth, "the three Wu giants, those who enjoy the benefits of agriculture but do not work close to them, and those who die or migrate for a few years, and there is no survivor", the grain theft case caused tens of thousands of officials across the country to kill or exile them, but the result is that they used this bloody method to force out more than 20 million stone of tax grain and even stolen official grain.

"Those who are rich in the people are all broken."

But no poor people were harmed by this.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang's notoriety......

Are ordinary people responsible for writing history books? History books are not written by them, and the people who write history books will not record the benefits obtained by the common people, they will only record how brutal this emperor was, killing so many famous heroes and famous civil servants, making the world's officials miserable, and even peeling people and plants at every turn. But they will not record what the grass people who have been annihilated in history have gained, and those who have enjoyed the benefits brought by Zhu Yuanzhang have no ability to record these, and in the end, what will be passed down in history is just a tyrant who killed heroes, but no one explained why he killed so many people but none of them dared to resist.

The reason is simple, their revolt will not gain the support of a single common man.

"Tell Zhu Yuanzhang for me, Han Lin'er is not the master of the Mandate of Heaven, and he is not among the candidates, but his father is the first in the world to raise the banner of righteousness, and the Northern Expedition of the Red Turban Army is also a great contribution to China, no matter who the Mandate of Heaven belongs to in the end, I have set the title of King of Song for him, and sent him to me, and he will be my disciple in the future."

Yang Feng said.

"The disciple must tell me."

Liu Bowen said happily.

This is equivalent to an angel being the master, ending the relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang and Han Lin'er, and avoiding Zhu Yuanzhang's notoriety of betraying the lord on his head, anyway, this is the will of Haotian God, and Zhu Yuanzhang can't disobey it! It was Haotian God who did not let him continue to be loyal to Han Lin'er, this is the will of heaven that cannot be violated, and then Zhu Yuanzhang can completely get rid of this burden and happily become king himself.

"Also, I don't want to hear that he fell into the water and died!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Well, Immortal Master, please rest assured, there will be no such thing."

Liu Ji said with an embarrassed smile.
