Chapter Eighty-Eight: Fighting Local Tyrants, Dividing the Land [5w words have been updated today]
"Fuck! Death is death! ”
"Someone, give me an order, rush forward and kill!"
"Even if Lao Tzu dies, you have to rescue Zhu Han!"
Tang He roared angrily, and the rebels under his command changed the posture they were about to retreat just now, and counterattacked like vicious dogs.
The Yuan army on the opposite side was unexpected, and it was in chaos by the counterattack.
And here in Zhu Han, in the face of heavy encirclement, he couldn't detect any changes in the battle situation at all.
Zhu Han and the others could only desperately wave the weapons in their hands to resist more and more enemy troops.
Seeing that the anti-thief Zhu Han was surrounded, more and more Yuan troops rushed up to scramble.
The banner of the Chinese army in The Barbarian Hague was suddenly relaxed.
At this time, it seems that as long as the Yuan army makes another wave of charge, it will be able to completely capture Zhu Han and the others.
"Oh, it's over, it's over!"
"It's broken, the red scarf thief can't bear it!"
"Zhu Han's thief really can't do it!"
"Lu Weng, hurry up and change your flag!"
In addition to the head of the state city, a group of gentry slapped their thighs and beat their chests.
They had already seen that Zhu Han was encircled, and they were about to be eaten alive by the Yuan army.
As soon as Zhu Han and the others died, the state would be an undefended city.
Lu Wendao also understands that he must quickly change the flag and surrender to strive for a glimmer of life.
"Quick, change the flag!"
Lu Wendao shouted loudly.
Soon, the banner of the Red Turban Army at the head of the city was removed and raised, and a banner of the Great Yuan Dynasty was raised.
The original flag of the Red Turban Army was thrown to the ground and trampled on at will.
In addition to the change of flags on the head of the state city, it immediately boosted the morale of the Yuan army.
"Hahaha, except for the dog thieves in the state, capricious!"
The barbarian Hague sneered, still in his heart that he decided to liquidate the Han people in Jiezhou after the war, and Tang He in the distance also saw the move of changing the flag on the head of the city of Jiezhou.
Tang He's heart suddenly seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and he was instantly pulled out of the cold.
"It's broken! It's broken! ”
Seeing this, Tang He thought that Zhu Han had fallen into a mortal situation, otherwise it would be impossible for the defenders of the state to defect.
"Juhachi, I'm sorry for you!"
"Seventy-five, if you want to die, I will die with you!"
Tang He was suddenly like an angry lion, holding a long axe, and rushed into the Yuan army's array.
A strong sense of guilt made Tang He just want to fight to the death and see Zhu Han for the last time.
"Fuck it!"
At this time, Zhu Han also saw the change of the banner at the head of the city, but he was no longer in the mood to scold these gentry in the state.
Zhu Han expected the actions of these gentry, and he didn't care.
Because what determines everything is not the change of flags, but whether you can win this battle or not!
As long as he defeats the Mengyuan army outside the city, it will have no effect except for the banner hung in the state city.
Because Zhu Han was scolding Chen Baodao and Hu Yiba.
"Chen Baodao, Hu Yiba!"
"I'm grass your ancestor! You don't attack yet, you want to see me die! ”
Zhu Han's guards on the left and right kept falling, and the entire Yuan army array was also chaotic by them.
But.
The infantry of the rebel army led by Chen Baodao and Hu Yiba seemed to be frightened, and they stood still and did not move at all.
Zhu Han even felt that maybe they were really like the gentry in the state, and they were ready to defect.
Suddenly.
Just as Zhu Han was scolding angrily, a roaring cannon sounded.
"Kill!"
Boom!
The rebel infantry led by Chen Baodao and Hu Yiba finally began to raid.
"Follow me!"
Chen Baodao led the righteous army sword and shield men to rush forward.
The firecrackers and long snatchers in the back alternately covered left and right, and rushed straight to the position of the Chinese army in The Barbarian Hague.
Hu Yiba and others pushed three artillery pieces and advanced alternately to destroy all enemy arrays.
"What!"
The barbarian Hague was shocked when he saw this.
He originally thought that this rebel infantry was stupid, but he didn't expect such a high combat power to suddenly erupt.
In an instant, it broke through the three-layer array of arming in front.
"Quick, stop them!"
The barbarian Hague began to panic a little.
Now the whole battlefield is in chaos, and it can be said that it affects the whole body.
The barbarian Hague is like easily changing the flag of the Chinese army, and it is extremely easy to shake morale.
Therefore, sending troops to block this group of rebel infantry is the most correct choice.
However, most of the elites near the Chinese army went to pursue and encircle Zhu Han, and there was no way to mobilize them back.
The soldiers and horses in the distance couldn't be mobilized for a while.
More than 2,000 rebel infantry, with the blessing of the fierce fire and artillery, quickly rushed to the barbarian Hague.
It is only thirty or forty steps away from the banner of the Chinese army in The Hague!
"Hu Yiba, that must be a Tartar official, a fucking shot!"
Chen Baodao wiped the blood on his face and shouted at Hu Yiba.
After their rush and killing, the entire battlefield has been completely chaotic.
The strict defense of the Yuan army is gone!
"Great!"
Hu Yiba raised his eyes and looked!
I saw a chubby general of the Yuan army, wearing a gilt armor, and I didn't know what kind of official it was.
Anyway, it looks like a standard dog tartar.
"Reload!"
"Ready!"
"Fire!"
The light three-pounder gun was quickly reloaded and fired.
The gushing white smoke instantly obscured Hu Yiba's vision.
Rumble!
The barbarian Hague was looking left and right at the battlefield when he suddenly saw a black shadow rushing towards him.
Bang!
There was a loud bang, and the barbarian Hague only felt that it was dark in front of him, and then he didn't know anything, and the guards next to the barbarian Hague were screaming ghosts and wolves.
The best range for a three-pounder gun is exactly this distance.
The powerful iron ball swept aside in an instant.
Many of the Tartar guards were beaten and bloodied, with broken bones and bones, and fell off their horses, wailing in pain.
"Zuo Cheng is dead!"
"Dashuai is dead?"
Other soldiers of the Yuan army soon discovered the tragic casualties under the command of the Chinese commander.
The Hague, the originally majestic and handsome barbarian, half of his face was beaten to rot, and he lay on the ground and died.
"Dashuai is dead!"
Those Yuan soldiers were suddenly frightened.
They had all seen artillery, but they had never seen such a fierce artillery that could shoot at close range with the infantry.
Now that even the handsome barbarian Hague is dead, how can this be fought.
"Dashuai is dead?"
On the noisy battlefield, the death of the barbarian Hague, like an avalanche, spread among the Yuan army.
The Yuan army, which was originally still high-spirited, fell into a huge panic in an instant.
Especially some Yuan troops in the distance, they didn't know the battle situation ahead.
I only know that the handsome barbarian Hague seems to have died in battle.
That means that the Red Turban Thief must have come with a large number of reinforcements.
The anti-thief reinforcements who can kill the handsome barbarian Hague, how powerful it must be!
The handsome are all dead, so it's still a fart, and it's the right thing to run for your life!
"Defeated, defeated!"
"Run, run for your life!"
"Hurry up and grab the ship!"
The Yuan army on the periphery soon panicked!
They scrambled out of the battlefield and ran towards the place where the ships were moored next to the Qingliu River.
As long as you can grab the boat, you don't have to worry about being caught up by the Red Turban Army when you go down the river.
"Grab the ship!"
"Defeated!"
The panic shouts in the sky made all the fighting spirit of the Yuan army collapse in an instant.
Zhu Han, who was covered in blood, only felt that the oppression of the Yuan army around him was completely gone.
The soldiers of the Yuan Army, who were originally going to rush up desperately, all scattered and fled like a tide.
"My lord, the Tartars are defeated!" Lu Zhongheng shouted happily next to him.
"Defeated, defeated!"
Zhu Han saw that the banner of the Chinese army in The Hague had disappeared, and he was also very happy in his heart.
"Kill!"
"The barbarian Hague is dead!"
After a while, the rebel infantry led by Chen Baodao and Hu Yiba rushed to Zhu Han's side.
"Look, my lord!"
Chen Baodao held a knife in one hand and the head of a flesh and blood model lake in the other.
"The head of the barbarian Hague!" Chen Baodao said happily.
What kind of barbarian Hague, at this time, he can't see his face at all, he is completely a mess of rotten meat.
"Haha, good!"
However, this did not affect Zhu Han's mood at all.
He excitedly ordered: "Raise this head high and let all the Tartars see that they are defeated!" ”
"Yes, my lord!"
As a spear was just raised, the head of the barbarian Hague was also picked into the air.
"Barbarian Hague head!"
"Barbarian Hague head!"
In bursts of shouting, tens of thousands of troops completely fell into a desperate collapse.
Although the few generals of the Yuan army who saw the reality of the Red Turban Army clearly wanted to continue the battle, the strong panic had already caused the army to collapse, and not many people were willing to obey their orders.
"My lord, let's go!"
"If you don't leave, there will be no boat!"
In the end, the few remaining generals of the Yuan army also gave up the struggle and led their own soldiers to join the ranks of fighting for ships and fleeing for their lives.
The drastic contrasting changes on the battlefield turned the soup and the original decisive charge into chopping melons and vegetables.
The Yuan army, which had no fighting spirit, was killed by Tang He's army and the corpses were all over the field.
"Zhu Han!
! ”
Tang He, who was originally fighting, suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance, and immediately shouted in surprise.
"Brother Tang!" Seeing this, Zhu Han was also stunned with joy.
Tang He stumbled over and grabbed Zhu Han's arm.
"Haha, great, great!"
"Brother Tang, why are you here, where is my brother?" Zhu Han was a little surprised.
"The marshal didn't come, I just borrowed his banner." Soup and laughter.
Zhu Han was stunned for a moment, and then felt a burst of intense fear.
"What, my brother didn't come, is it only your thousands of soldiers and horses?" Zhu Han felt incredulous.
The flags that spread all over the mountains just now also resembled the momentum of tens of thousands of troops.
"Brother, I just wanted to scare the Tartars, but I didn't expect you to be so brave and dare to rush out of the city!"
Tang He's gaze at Zhu Han was already full of admiration.
Three thousand fought against tens of thousands, and they dared to leave the city to fight back.
Tang He asked himself, it was difficult for him to have this courage.
"Luck, are they all on my side?"
Zhu Han suddenly had a feeling of blessing from the destiny of heaven!
The two rebel armies converged in one place, and they burst out with super combat effectiveness.
The rout of the Yuan army had no possibility of counterattacking, and they all rushed to the Qingliu River to scramble for boats.
The Yuan troops crowded and trampled together, and many people were squeezed to the ground, and then there was no movement at all.
Many corpses were trampled deep into the mud by the muddy Qingliu River, and many Yuan soldiers were slashed and stabbed to death by friendly forces, just to compete for positions on the boats.
Several boats collided in the scramble, and instantly capsized and rolled in the surging river.
The Yuan soldiers who fell into the water did not have time to escape, and drifted away with the capsized boats along the river.
The battle situation outside the state city is like a sideshow that changes faces.
No one expected such a reversal.
"Ah, this, this ......"
"How is this possible?"
"The court is so defeated?"
"Why are the Mongols so unbeaten?"
In addition to the head of the state city, the gentry who had just finished changing the banner of the Great Yuan were already dumbfounded.
No one can accept such a strong contrast.
The rebels outside the city were like gods descending from heaven at this time, chasing and killing the Yuan soldiers who had no fighting spirit.
Tens of thousands of troops lost their armor and didn't care about anything but fleeing for their lives.
In the chaos, the boats on the Qingliu River fled down the river in a hurry.
Those who did not board the ship were even rushing into the river regardless of the situation, trying to swim and escape for their lives.
The entire battlefield situation was completely controlled by the rebels.
"Idiot!"
Suddenly, a roar woke up the stunned group of gentry.
Lu Wendao scolded, and then shouted bitterly: "What are you doing in a daze, go and change the flag!" ”
Everyone suddenly realized, and hurriedly tore down Dayuan's banner in a panic and threw it into the mud pit.
Then, a bright red flag was raised again on the top of the city.
Lu Wendao hurriedly ordered everyone again, "Go home quickly and take out all the chickens, ducks and fish!" ”
"Take out all the good wine!"
"Set up a celebration wine along the street, stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, we can have a glimmer of life!"
A group of gentry except for the state all nodded in agreement like gossips with stupid heads.
Their behavior just now, according to military law, can be regarded as desertion.
No!
It's not about escaping, it's about defecting and surrendering to the enemy!
This crime is ten times more serious than escaping!
They had no choice but to make the most humble gesture, hoping that Zhu Han would return victoriously and forgive them.
After half a day of pursuit, the Yuan army on the entire battlefield was pursued and captured.
The entire Yuan army on the Qingliu River also fled without a trace.
Only then did Zhu Han lead the rebel army in a fierce battle and returned to the gate of the city of Jiezhou.
Lu Wendao and the other powerful gentry in addition to the state were already kneeling on the ground together, waiting for the departure.
They knelt on the ground, all of them afraid to come out.
Some are already shivering like chaff.
What's more, under the intense fear, a rush of urine gushes out.
Instantly, a breath of shame filled the air.
Zhu Han rode slowly towards them.
Looking at this piece of the gentry who knelt on the ground and let others slaughter them.
He grabbed the reins of the horse and looked at it coldly, but did not speak for a long time.
Tang He, Chen Baodao, Hu Yiba and others all stared at these ex-state heroes with angry faces, eager to immediately break their bodies into pieces.
Lu Wendao knelt on the ground, and even his breath was nervous and about to stop.
He originally prepared a lot of manuscript rhetoric, intending to excuse himself when he met Zhu Han.
But.
Now that Zhu Han has come to him, this young man exudes a strong aura of coercion, so that Lu Wendao, an old Jianghu, does not dare to say half a word.
Any exculpatory rhetoric, or a lie, is to make Lu Wendao afraid of angering Zhu Han.
"Mr. Lu."
After a long time, Zhu Han suddenly spoke calmly.
"Vice marshal, I should die, I should die!"
Lu Wendao, who was originally as motionless as a piece of wood, was so frightened by Zhu Han's words that he instantly kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"Deputy marshal, we are greedy for life and afraid of death, and we have done such things!"
"Betraying the trust of the deputy marshal, we are all villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Lu Wendao shouted in a voice that was close to crying.
In fact, he seemed to be flustered, but he also kept an eye on it.
The fact that they changed their banner and surrendered to the enemy was said to be a last resort for greed for life and fear of death.
In this way, it is also to fight for the hope of his own life.
"Greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"You are not only greedy for life and afraid of death, I think you are very bold!"
"Dare to surrender to the enemy on the battlefield, do you really think that my military law is good-looking?"
Zhu Han was still thinking about whether to let go of these state gentry.
However, as soon as this Lu Wendao opened his mouth, Zhu Han was immediately disgusted.
Now at this time, he is still pretending to want to excuse himself, he really thinks that he Zhu Han is a fool, can't he see it?
"Come on, take down all these traitors for me!"
"Chen Baodao, you lead the soldiers and horses to raid their house!"
"Hu Yiba, detain all these people in the yamen prison and guard them strictly!"
Zhu Han gave an order, and the tiger-wolf-like rebel soldiers immediately arrested all these powerful people in addition to the state.
"Brother, take them to the pot?" Soup and a little surprised.
He could understand Zhu Han's inner anger, after all, these gentry in addition to the state almost killed them.
However, it was a bit of a surprise to him to wipe out all these gentry in addition to the state.
According to the previous pace of the rebels, they have always won over these local powerful gentry.
"Brother Tang, these people are very cunning, except for the state, it is too important, if they play another repeated rebellion, I am afraid we will not have such good luck." Zhu Han said.
"Brother said the same, today is really dangerous." Tang He nodded and said.
Carrying the power of a great victory, the rebels' series of raids can be said to be unhindered.
Even the fierce tens of thousands of Tartars were beaten to ashes, not to mention these little minions of the powerful family.
None of the families dared to resist, and they were all arrested and imprisoned.
"Deputy marshal, get rich, get rich!"
Chen Baodao led more than a dozen soldiers and walked into the Yamen lobby with several large boxes.
"What fortune?"
Zhu Han and Tang He had just finished washing and were preparing to count the battle situation.
"Deputy marshal, these powerful families have not only copied out a large amount of gold and silver treasures, but also a large amount of grain, I have taken a look, it is enough for our army to eat for two years!" Chen Baodao said with a smile.
"yes, that's great." Zhu Han slapped the table and said.
He also didn't expect that these powerful gentry, who were crying poor every day, still had so much grain in stock, which was several times more than except for the state government.
"Deputy marshal, not only food, but also so many fields and houses!"
Chen Baodao said, pointing to the few large boxes that were brought in behind him.
"What are these?" Zhu Han got up and approached to take a look.
"Deputy marshal, these are all the property deeds of their respective families, and there are a lot of bond IOUs!" Chen Baodao said.
Hiss!
Tang He suddenly gasped, "So much? ”
With so many big boxes, how many title deeds do you have to have!
In addition to the wealth of the state, it is much stronger than Dingyuan.
Zhu Han was also frightened, such a big box turned out to be all land deeds and IOUs.
Whoa!
With a sound, Zhu Han checked the title deeds and IOUs in the boxes one by one.
"My mother, it turns out that most of the prefectures are controlled by these powerful gentry!" Tang and Babbling said.
Not to mention the land deeds outside the city, just the deed of the house in the city is already half of the city.
Looking at so many house deeds, a thought immediately surged in Zhu Han's heart.
"It seems that it's time to prepare to fight the local tyrants and divide the land!"
This time, the rebels defeated the barbarian Hague, and won countless soldiers and baggage, and they already had the confidence to build their own team.
"Seal everything for me, and when my brother comes back, we'll dispose of it!"
Zhu Han said loudly.
"Yes, lieutenant!" Chen Baodao said.
Except for the state victory, after everything is in order, it is natural to send good news to Zhu Yuanzhang.
When the victorious horse in addition to the state rushed to Dingyuan, he happened to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, who was marching in a hurry.
The tens of thousands of main forces originally led by Zhu Yuanzhang have fallen behind because of the non-stop rapid march.
There are probably less than 10,000 people who can still follow Zhu Yuanzhang's side.
Even if it was so hard, Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that the march was too slow, lest it would be too late to rescue Zhu Han in the state.
But.
When the victorious horse arrived quickly, Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback.
"What!"
"What do you say? Our brother defeated tens of thousands of Tartars, and also killed the Tartar coach Barbarian The Hague? ”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the victory document and couldn't believe his eyes.
The 3,000 rebel army and horses, even with Tang He's thousands of reinforcements, were less than 10,000, but they defeated nearly 100,000 Yuan troops.
This is no longer a surprise, for Zhu Yuanzhang, it is simply a fright.
Did the heavenly soldiers descend to earth?
"Marshal, it's true, the barbarian Hague was killed, and the head is here!"
The messenger untied the wooden box from behind his buttocks, and inside was the head of The Barbarian Hague.
The mutilated head, marinated in lime, did not rot, but it was still extremely terrible.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the head, he immediately felt a breath in his heart.
The days of unfatal marching made him feel exhausted.
"God forbid!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and let out a sigh.
Xu Da and the others next to him were also happy to close their mouths.
"Haha, Seventy-five is amazing, Zhuge Liang is down, it's nothing more than that!"
"Zhuge Liang can't do it either, I think this is Han Xin's descent to earth!"
Everyone chattered and praised each other.
Xu Da rolled his eyes and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Marshal, the barbarian Hague is the court pillar of the Tartars in Jiangnan, and now that he is dead, Jiangnan will inevitably be in chaos, should we take the opportunity to go south?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he suddenly came to his senses again.
For example, there are disasters and famines today, only the fish and rice water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are not afraid of frequent disasters.
If he can enter Jiangnan, then Zhu Yuanzhang's strength may become a real overlord.
Instead of a soil overlord who guards one or two state capitals.
"It's a good place in Jiangnan, but I don't know if I can eat it!" Zhu Yuanzhang touched his chin and thought.
After all, Zhu Han's previous proposal was to 'build a high wall and accumulate grain', if he marched into the south of the Yangtze River, it would not only be a high wall, but a 'building the Great Wall'.
All Yuan armies, and even rebel armies from all walks of life, I am afraid that they will be jealous, even against themselves.
"Jiangnan, whether to go or not, wait until we see Qiwu, let's discuss it carefully!"
Since the heavy siege of the state has been lifted, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the whole army to rest in Dingyuan for three days, wait for the follow-up army to catch up, and then remove the state to discuss with Zhu Han.

Gangnam, Jiqing Province.
Today's Jiqing Mansion is the Nanjing Yingtian Mansion of later generations.
As the first important town in the south of the Yangtze River for thousands of years, Jiqingfu is also the ruling center of the Mengyuan court in the south of the Yangtze River.
It started with Kublai Khan's attack on Jiangnan.
Jiqing Mansion is heavily guarded by Mengyuan troops, which plays a role in stabilizing the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.
But.
Today's Jiqing Mansion is in a panic first.
Marshal Zuo Cheng was killed in the Northern Expedition to The Hague in the Northern Expedition to Jiezhou, 100,000 troops were killed and captured, and only more than 10,000 people fled back to Jiqing, and the rest of the Mengyuan soldiers were either killed in battle, or trampled and drowned in the Qingliu River.
panic instantly made the officials of the Yuan Court in Jiqing have no rules.
Jiqing City is also three shocks a day.
Either some people rumored that the Red Turban Army killed the other side of the Yangtze River, or some people rumored that the Red Turban Army killed Yanziji, or even the more outrageous Red Turban Army infiltrated Jiqing Mansion, many people believe it.
The entire Jiqing Mansion was in a panic, and officials of all sizes even wanted to secretly abandon the city and escape.
The army of Dayuan Jiangnan Province has been completely lost, and it is really no longer capable of defending Jiqing Mansion and Jiangnan.
In today's Jiqing Mansion, there are only two people left who can maintain the prestige to maintain the overall situation, one is Pingzhang of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Mongolian Beru.
The other is the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, Han Fan Yao.
The Yuan Dynasty established provinces in various places, and had local administrative, military, and financial powers.
The officials of the province are the provincial prime minister, Pingzhang, right minister, left minister and the governor of the government.
Most of the provincial prime ministers are vacant to prevent the emergence of local secession.
Now the left and right sides of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have died one after another, and only Pingzhang and the governor of the government have died.
However, this Mongolian Pingzhang Bolu is a guy from the royal family and aristocracy, except for eating, drinking and having fun, he doesn't know anything about military politics, and he is a pseudonym.
Now that the barbarian Hague was killed in battle, Jiqing Mansion was in danger, and Beru was also panicked, so he hurriedly found Fan Yao, the governor of the political affairs, to discuss countermeasures.
Inside the Heijang Mansion.
"Fan participates in politics, you hurry up and think of a way, now Jiqing Mansion has no soldiers, there are no generals, if the red turban thief comes over, what can I do!" Beru said in a panic.
As soon as Fan Yao sat down, he saw Bolu's flustered appearance and knew that he was already out of order.
"Pingzhang, now that the 100,000 army has been lost, if you want to stabilize Jiqing Mansion, you must work together to mobilize Yangzhou's soldiers and horses back!" Fan Yao said.
The last force of the soldiers and horses of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces has been transferred to guard Yangzhou, where the salt merchants have repeatedly made trouble, which has already threatened the transportation and shipping.
Tomato is free to read
"Okay, then I'll give the order!" Boru nodded hurriedly and said.
"Pingzhang, in addition to mobilizing Yangzhou's soldiers and horses to come back to defend Jiqing, we must also martial law Jiangfang, ready to meet the enemy at any time, after all, I heard that there are many warships, all of which have been captured by thieves." Fan Yao said.
"Okay, I also ordered the Yangtze River to be controlled!" Boru nodded again and again.
The entire Jiqing Mansion was immediately nervously armed.
On the opposite side of Jiangbei, the main force of the Red Turban Army led by Zhu Yuanzhang finally came to Jiezhou.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the battlefield outside the city, his heart was already full of strong pride.
The battlefield was full of corpses and equipment discarded by the Yuan army, and there were countless camp tents and equipment.
Even if Zhu Han had ordered the battlefield to be cleaned for three days, there were still a lot of them left outside the city.
"Brother!"
A shout came, and Zhu Han led Tang He, Chen Baodao and others to meet them.
Zhu Yuanzhang also stepped forward happily and grabbed Zhu Han's arm.
"Seventy-five, show us quickly, you're okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang said worriedly.
Zhu Han patted his arms and legs, and laughed:
"Haha, brother, don't worry, I didn't even hurt a single hair on my body!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little uneasy, and took a closer look.
"It's fine, and I've grown taller!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with relief.
"Haha, I eat meat three times a day, just to grow taller!"
Zhu Han is already fourteen years old, and it is the time when he is tall, and he is almost as tall as Zhu Yuanzhang after not seeing him for a month.
The joy of the two brothers meeting each other.
When he entered the city of Jiezhou, Zhu Han showed Zhu Yuanzhang the loot that was piled up in the city.
"Brother, look at these armors, they are enough for all of our soldiers to wear armor."
"If you look at these captured arrows, it will not be a problem to use them for two years!"
"If you look at these tents again, the army will never have to sleep in the field again when the army goes out to fight!"
。
。
。
。
In the entire city of Except Prefecture, all kinds of loot were piled up.
Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were pleasantly surprised, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Brother, after our victory, you said that the Tartars still have soldiers and horses in Jiangnan?"
"What kind of soldiers and horses, they must have been killed." Zhu Han said.
"Then you say, if we take the opportunity to enter Jiangnan, can we do it?" Zhu Yuanzhang then asked.
Zhu Han had already thought about this question.
"Brother, to be honest, I don't think it's the best time yet!" Zhu Han said.
"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"There are two reasons!" Zhu Han stretched out his finger and said.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he knew that his younger brother had already thought it through.
Immediately pulled over a chair and sat down, ready to listen to him slowly.
"Tell us what are the two reasons?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"First, our roots are in Jiangbei, there are a large number of displaced people here, there are natural and man-made disasters, they can't eat, so they rebelled with us, and Jiangnan does not have this condition, the people and heroes there can not starve to death, and they don't have to worry about being hit by the rebels, it is difficult for us to replenish the follow-up soldiers and horses." Zhu Han said.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded hurriedly, agreeing with Zhu Han's statement very much.
Now in the north, there are almost millions of rebels, and in the south of the Yangtze River, except for a few small groups of rebels, there is not even a wave.
"What else?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
"Second, if we want to take Jiangnan, we must have strong enough strength, not only to suppress the heroes and people in Jiangnan, so that they can obediently cooperate with the payment of grain and taxes to replenish the soldiers, but also have the strength to guard against friendly forces!" Zhu Han said calmly.
"Defend against friendly forces?"
As soon as he said this, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Tang He, Guo Ying and others were all surprised.
Everyone is a rebel army, and they are all Tartars, so why should they guard against friendly troops.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak.
Zhu Han knew that his brother was already thinking the same as himself.
"Now all the rebels are under Liu Futong's orders, I heard that he has been looking for Han Shantong's son Han Lin'er, and wants to help Han Lin'er become the new emperor, think about it, if we take the big fat in Jiangnan, will Liu Futong watch us swallow it alone?" Zhu Han said.
Xu Da, Tang He and others then understood.
"That's right, such a fat place in the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that stepping on the soles of your feet is a good place to get out of the oil and water, if I were Liu Futong, I would definitely not be reconciled!" Xu Da nodded and said.
"It makes sense, don't say it's Liu Futong, even if it's Xu Shouhui from Huguang, I'm afraid he will have to go down the Yangtze River to snatch Jiangnan with us!" Tang He nodded and said.
Today's Red Turban Army is basically divided into two branches: the north and the south.
The northern branch is under the order of Liu Futong, as long as it is active in Henan, Jiangbei and Shandong.
The southern branch is dedicated to Xu Shouhui as the emperor of Tianwan, and his main activities are in Hubei.
"So, Jiangnan's piece of fat can only be watched?" Zhu Yuanzhang still has some regrets.
Zhu Han smiled slightly and said, "Brother, the fat can't be swallowed in one bite, but we can slowly suck the oil and water on it!" ”
When Zhu Yuanzhang and the others heard this, they suddenly came to their senses.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
"We occupy the treasure land of Jiangbei, which is the closest to Jiangnan, although we can't hit it immediately, but we can also take the opportunity to take advantage of it!" Zhu Han said with a smile.
"How do you take advantage?"
Everyone looked at Zhu Han with wide eyes.
The big guys were originally happy, looking forward to entering Jiangnan and being able to live a good life of drinking and meating every day, but they were a little disappointed just now, but now they were mobilized by Zhu Han again.
"Brother, the area south of the Yangtze River is across the Yangtze River from us, we have killed so many Tartars, they must have been scared, the most feared thing is that we will fight across the Yangtze River." Zhu Han said.
"That's right, the Tartar army in Jiangnan is only one or two hundred thousand people at most, if we really kill them, they really can't prevent it." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"At this time, if we put on a posture of large-scale attack, take the opportunity to extort some grain, grass and silver money from the Yuan Court, and then force them to open the waterway for trade, it will be equivalent to turning Jiangnan into our cornucopia!" Zhu Han said.
The war in the past two years has caused industry and commerce to wither, and there is no way to transport and sell all kinds of grain, grass, cloth, medicinal materials, porcelain and other scarce materials in the south of the Yangtze River to the north.
In addition to grabbing a bunch of gold, silver and copper coins that could not be eaten and drunk, the rebels from all walks of life were in dire need of all kinds of food and cloth.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang and their well-stocked rebels are only able to guarantee three meals of coarse grain a day.
As for the rebels in the Huaibei area, I heard that they often carried piles of gold, silver and jewelry, and searched around hungry every day for food.
"There is grain in the south of the Yangtze River, there is gold and silver in the north, we are in the middle, if we open up trade, then we can change the left hand for the right hand, and change the money to make money!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled from ear to ear.
"Haha, that's great!"
"It's really wonderful, it turns out that you can take advantage of it without attacking territory!"
Xu Da, Tang He and others were also excited.
If we can mobilize the food and materials in the south of the Yangtze River, we will be able to feed more troops and train more elite soldiers.
"That's right, we can use the money and grain in Jiangnan to feed our rebels in Jiangbei, and when our strength grows, we can take Jiangnan directly!" Zhu Han said.
"Okay, then let's settle it, brother, what do you think we should do?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"It's very simple, we just need to gather all the ships that can be found, and then play the flag and kill on the surface of the Yangtze River, as long as the Yuan Court officials in Jiangnan are scared, we can open whatever conditions are at will!" Zhu Han said.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, suddenly thought of a question, and immediately asked.
"Brother, what if the Tartar officials refuse to agree? I mean, what if they're not afraid? ”
"Hey...... Brother, how can there be people who are not afraid of death, we just want the money of the Jiangnan Tartars, and we don't want their lives, how can they not agree? Zhu Han said with a smile.
Then, Zhu Han sounded a joke from his previous life, and said casually.
"The life is your own, and the money belongs to the court!"
"As long as you are not a fool, it is impossible not to agree."
When Zhu Yuanzhang and the others heard this, they were stunned at first, and then they laughed out loud.
Hahaha!
"Well said, the grain and silver money in Jiangnan, we are going to decide!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand boldly!
Immediately ordered all departments to repair the captured ships, and then released the news, preparing to attack Jiangnan Jiqing Mansion!
Wait until everything is arranged, Xu Da, Tang
and others all received their respective tasks and left.
In addition to the state marshal's mansion, there are only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han brothers left.
Zhu Han said to Zhu Yuanzhang at this time: "Brother, discuss something with you." ”
Seeing Zhu Hanshen's mysterious appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little puzzled.
"What's going on, so mysterious?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Zhu Han smiled, and then said: "Brother, the powerful gentry in the state rebelled and almost killed me, do you know about this?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, he had already heard Tang He talk about it.
"Those dogs, aren't they all in prison, and tomorrow I will order their skulls to be cut off!" Zhu Yuanzhang said fiercely.
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Zhu Han waved his hand again and again.
"Why, don't you want to kill these traitors?" Zhu Yuanzhang wondered.
"Brother, I have another better way!" Zhu Han said.
"What's the solution?" Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly asked.
"Fight the local tyrants and divide the fields!"
Zhu Han spit out six words seriously.
"Fight local tyrants and divide the fields? To whom are you going to give their possessions? "Zhu Yuanzhang has only heard of fighting local tyrants, and has never thought about dividing the land.
Since ancient times, it has always been a matter of course to kill a group of 'masters' and take their land for themselves.
I had never heard of dividing the land among others.
