Chapter 109: Are You Looking for Vice Marshal Zhu? Coincidentally, I am
"I see, Brother Zhou wants the construction of that new type of ship?" Zhu Han immediately guessed his intentions.
Zhou Gushan was engaged in maritime trade, and what he did was to trade from the Central Plains to Dongying and Goryeo, and occasionally to Guangzhou, Nanyang and other places in the south.
However, now the world is very chaotic on all seas, and it is often intercepted and attacked by various pirates, and it has already suffered heavy losses.
The last time the Red Turban Army defeated the Goryeo Navy at the mouth of the Yangtze River, it happened to be seen by Zhou Gushan on the shore with some scenes.
The two warships of the Red Turban Army were not only fast, but also had invincible combat capabilities.
If there are so many warships on the sea, let alone escort, even if they rob other ships unscrupulously on the sea, it is not difficult.
On the sea at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, all naval battles relied on battleship ramming, or hand-to-hand combat.
Zhu Han's artillery battleship is definitely a god-like existence.
"I also ask the deputy marshal to agree, as long as I can let the Zhou clan build three or four identical warships, I am willing to give the deputy marshal 500,000 silver every year for military expenses, and there is also filial piety for the New Year!" Zhou Gushan said.
"Five hundred thousand taels?" Zhu Han was taken aback by this number.
He never expected that this Zhou Gushan would be so generous.
500,000 taels of silver, is it true that all the merchants of the sea are so profitable?
In fact, Zhou Gushan is willing to give so much silver, but also fighting for a breath, if he can't maintain the Zhou family's status in the sea merchants, then the Zhou family will be reduced to a second-rate existence in the Suzhou family, and their local field shops are far less than Shen Wansan's kind of merchants.
Moreover, Zhou Gushan, a sea merchant, has never been a good man or a woman, once they have a strong force on the ocean, they don't have to sit on the ground to collect tolls, then they have to rob it with a knife and a gun.
Anyway, no matter how you calculate it, 500,000 taels of silver is a lot, but it is definitely a good deal.
"Shipbuilding is not an overnight thing, just preparing wood cement and other items, without a year or two, I'm afraid it won't work." Zhu Han said tentatively.
Whatever timber is to be used to make a wooden ship, it must not be fresh timber, but must be soaked in water for a year after being cut down before the ship can be built.
Otherwise, once the ship is built with fresh wood, it will soon be deformed and falling apart after launching.
"Deputy marshal don't worry about this, our Zhou family has a dock in Zhenjiang, and we have a lot of wood mastic, even if it is towering wood, there are a lot of them." Zhou Gushan said.
"There is a dock in Zhenjiang?" Zhu Han's eyes lit up suddenly.
He was able to build two artillery warships after exhausting all the captured funds of the Red Turban Army, and to be honest, these two artillery warships were streamlined in many places, just because of the lack of suitable wood.
A big businessman in Suzhou actually opened his mouth to have a shipbuilding dock, which couldn't help but make Zhu Han greedy.
"Yes, there are many docks in Zhenjiang, and although my Zhou's dock is not the largest, it is also among the best, and it is not a problem to build ten or eight ships."
Good guys, one mouth is eight out of ten.
"Are you really sure you can build these new warships?" Zhu Han asked again.
"From the appearance, it's quite exquisite, but you can also guess it, but you don't dare to guess the specific French style inside." Zhou Gushan said.
As soon as Zhu Han heard it, he knew that he had met an expert in shipbuilding, and he was able to understand the hull just by virtue of his appearance, and he was definitely a rare talent.
"Of course I have it, how many ships can you build in the dockyard?" Zhu Han asked.
Zhou Gushan thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "If you guess the materials from the appearance, it should be no problem to build ten ships, and if you borrow more materials from other docks, fifteen ships should be fine." ”
Hiss!
Zhu Han suddenly gasped when he heard this.
The strength of the Zhou family in this sea is simply terrifying.
Fifteen artillery warships, once launched, can be said to be the strongest naval force in the world today.
"Brother Zhou, I can agree to your request." Zhu Han said calmly.
"Great, great!" Zhou Gushan looked grateful.
"However, I also have conditions, and you must agree to it first." Zhu Han said.
Zhou Gushan was stunned for a moment, and then showed a very understanding expression.
His own 500,000 taels of silver seems to be not enough for Zhu Han's appetite, this is to make more requests.
However, they are a wealthy family of the Zhou family in Suzhou, and they are not afraid that Zhu Han will put forward conditions, but they are afraid that Zhu Han will not agree.
"Deputy marshal, but it's okay to speak!" Zhou Gushan said loudly.
"Your dock, I want to join forces with you, and we will build fifteen warships with one person and half of the shares, and I can give you three of the Zhou family, and the remaining twelve will belong to me!" Zhu Han said.
As soon as he heard this condition, Zhou Gushan almost jumped up angrily.
Fifteen warships, most of them were going to be eaten by Zhu Han, so how could their Zhou family's status as a maritime merchant be maintained?
Twelve warships against three warships, as long as Zhu Han wants to eat the status of the Zhou Clan's maritime merchants, he only needs to move his fingers.
"No, no, deputy marshal, this is absolutely not good." Zhou Gushan waved his hand again and again.
What Zhou Gushan thought in his heart, Zhu Han guessed as soon as he guessed.
I saw that he was not in a hurry, took out a map from the book bag behind him, and unfolded it on the table.
"Brother Zhou, come and see this." Zhu Han said with a smile.
Zhou Gushan got up and looked, it didn't matter what he saw, his face suddenly became extremely pale, almost bloodless, if he didn't support the table with his hands, he was afraid that his feet would collapse as soon as he was weak.
"This, this, this is ,,,。" Zhou Gushan trembled when he spoke.
"Haha, Brother Zhou, don't get excited, this is a sea chart, can't you see it?" Zhu Han said with a smile.
Zhou Gushan scolded secretly in his heart, it was just nonsense, of course he saw that this was a sea chart, and it was precisely because he saw that it was a sea chart that he was so out of shape.
In ancient maritime trade, whoever had to master a detailed nautical chart was equivalent to mastering a rich shipping route, and the location of all the islands along the way, where to replenish the water, where to get food, and where to shelter from the wind and waves, all were in control.
The navigation charts of each maritime merchant family are their own secrets, and they are often passed from father to son, son to grandson, male to female.
It can be said that the chart that Zhu Han took out just now is many times clearer and more accurate than the chart treasured by Zhou Gushan in his own home.
And Zhu Han has this thing in his hand, which is equivalent to having the capital to join the ranks of maritime merchants at any time, and all he needs is to prepare ships.
The land of China in this era is synonymous with abundant products, no matter what kind of specialty, as long as it is loaded on a ship and transported to any place overseas, it can make a lot of money.
As a result, Zhou Gushan has no capital to continue bargaining.
Fifteen battleships were many, but the Red Turban Army spent a lot of time and was always able to make them up.
A detailed nautical chart, on the other hand, is the work of several generations of a family.
Zhou Gushan thought about it for a while, and then agreed to Zhu Han's conditions.
Seeing this, Zhu Han smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I won't let you suffer, and in the future, your Zhou family can get the 'Pioneer Certificate' and 'Privateer Certificate' issued by me!" ”
As soon as Zhou Gushan heard that he was confused, he immediately asked: "Deputy Marshal, dare to ask what this pioneer certificate and privateer certificate are?" ”
"Soon after, I am going to set up the Metropolitan Governor's Office, which will have jurisdiction over all maritime trade, and if there are ships that are not prepared in the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, you can collect taxes or launch an attack with a privateer's license, or confiscate the ships, and my Metropolitan Governor's Office will be responsible for all the consequences." Zhu Han said.
In the turbulent times of the late Yuan Dynasty, the Japanese pirates of Dongying have appeared frequently, and the merchant ships and pirates of Goryeo and other vassal states can be said to be the most lively sea in the world today.
The existence of the privateer license can allow Zhu Han's naval governorship to quickly establish its prestige and control those sea merchants in its hands.
"I won't participate in the raising of troops by your Suzhou merchant group, but all affairs at sea can use the name of our Red Turban Army." Zhu Han said.
"I understand it now, the deputy marshal is really a big deal!" Zhou Gushan said excitedly.
According to Zhu Han's statement, their Zhou ship will be able to walk sideways on the sea in the future, and anyone who does not obey the discipline or refuses to pay the protection fee will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
If there are some forces that are difficult to deal with, you can also invite the Navy Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Red Turban Army, no matter what kind of pirate giant you are, or where the vassal prince is, you will definitely not be able to stop the thunderous blow of the Red Turban Army.
After all, even Emperor Mengyuan was killed by the Red Turban Army, let alone others.
I only heard Zhu Han continue: "As for the development certificate, it is to encourage the development of various islands, and all new islands that can be discovered, as long as they are not on this chart, are all based on the same principle, then whoever discovers them first has the right to govern, and all the wealth on the islands can enjoy exclusive rights, and the term is limited to fifty years." ”
The so-called nautical charts are naturally the coastal charts of China's coastal areas, and only the islands outside this range are eligible for this exploration certificate.
"The islands in the East China Sea, I'm afraid they have long been included, if it works, they can only go to the South China Seas, where there are islands, and all kinds of products are also rich, but the miasma is too powerful, so it can only be planned slowly in the future." Zhou Gushan thought secretly in his heart.
After this conversation, the sea merchant Zhou was basically incorporated into his command by Zhu Han.
The Zhou family wanted to get a stronger maritime escort capability, and Zhu Han wanted to rapidly expand the navy, so it was naturally a hit.
At Zhu Han's suggestion, he planned to go to Zhenjiang in a few days to personally check the scale of the Zhou family's dock there.
By the way, let's take a look at several other docks in Zhenjiang to see if they are eligible to enter their own screening range.
After leaving Suzhou, only two days passed.
The 'Suzhou Uprising' planned by Shen Wansan and others has begun.
Under the planning of the major merchants and wealthy families, thousands of people poured into the streets, beating and chasing down the tax collectors stationed in the local area, destroying the tax officials' offices and warehouses, and opening warehouses to release grain, recruiting more poor people to participate.
The local Mengyuan government was powerless at all.
After the stars, there is a tendency to burn the prairies.
Not only Suzhou, but also the surrounding Songzhou, Changzhou and other places are also following suit.
Because Zhu Han did not agree to them to use the name of the Red Turban Army, Shen Wansan and the others also came up with a new way out of whimsy.
After Zhu Han received the information, he almost burst out laughing.
"Fuyuan exterminates thieves?"
Shen Wansan and the others were very cunning, and played the slogan of eradicating traitors for Dayuan.
It's just that I don't know whether the thieves in this refer to the Red Turban Army, or the Semu people, or the Mongols, then I don't know.
The news of the Susong riot soon reached Jiqing Mansion.
Pingzhang Bolu and Fan Yao and others in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were suddenly worried.
"Suzhou is reversed, Changzhou is also reversed, should we quickly send a large army to quell the rebellion?" Bruw asked.
"The counterinsurgency should be quelled, but I'm afraid it can't be quelled, now we have less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, if we fight all out in Suzhou and haven't been pacified, then it will be dangerous in the future." Fan Yao said.
For a while, several people were worried, and no one could think of a useful solution.
At this time, Bolu and the others immediately looked at Liu Bowen, who was participating in politics.
"Berwyn, you're going to figure it out." Beru said quickly.
Liu Bowen frowned and thought about it, but he didn't say a word, just sighed heavily.
Obviously, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is useless to find a way without soldiers and horses.
Even the think tank Liu Bowen has nothing to do, and others are not bored.
For Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, although the territory of Susong is small, but it occupies half of the essence of the entire province, if you sit back and watch Susong erosion, then the rest of the places will definitely compete to follow suit, and a few of them will soon fall into the point of not leaving the city.
"Suzhou thieves are in turmoil, we must be pacified, otherwise I'm sorry for Dayuan, I'm sorry for the court." Bruw exclaimed.
"There are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, do you want to send them all?" Fan Yao hurriedly asked.
"Suzhou businessmen gathered, all of them are a group of soft-footed shrimp, you don't need all the soldiers and horses, just send 3,000 people, as long as you see blood, I believe they will be scared and weak." Beru was full of contempt for the merchants.
"Okay, then I'll put down the rebellion myself." Fan Yao hurriedly said.
In Fan Yao's heart, there are also some businessmen who look down on Suzhou, but they are just a group of big fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and they dare to rebel!
Fan Yao thought about leading 3,000 soldiers to kill, and then kill some people, raid some homes, and make him a lot of money.
A big businessman like Shen Wansan, if he can hold it, he will naturally be able to make more money.
Fan Yao immediately led the marshal of the marching army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and led 3,000 troops to Suzhou.
When they entered the boundary of Suzhou, they didn't look at the rich villages and towns along the way, and they didn't stop at all, and went straight to Suzhou City.
After all, Suzhou City is a real treasure of wealth, and with such a cornucopia, I am afraid that I can't grab it, how can I pay attention to any small villages and towns.
The three thousand Mengyuan soldiers and horses can be described as noble and fast, and they suddenly appeared under the city of Suzhou, which surprised Shen Wansan and others.
Seeing that there were 3,000 genuine Yuan troops killed, a group of wealthy businessmen immediately panicked.
"What should I do?"
"What a good thing that is!"
"Who said that the number of great vitality is not good, these three thousand soldiers and horses are coming in a hurry, and they are a proper and strong army."
"Why don't you send someone to make peace!"
Facing a group of wealthy businessmen whose knees suddenly weakened, Shen Wansan seemed to have expected it.
I saw him cough vigorously and say loudly.
"Don't panic, there are more than forty cannons in our city, is it for good looks?"
As soon as they heard the name of the cannon, many people immediately became steady.
"yes, we have cannons!"
"Emperor Dayuan can't stop the cannon from killing, let alone these Jiangsu and Zhejiang minions!"
"What the marshal said makes sense, what are we afraid of with artillery!"
Shen Wansan is now the generalissimo of Suzhou's 'Fuyuan and Destroying Thieves', commanding the soldiers and horses in the city.
Under Shen Wansan's dispatch, the Suzhou heroes who were 'Fuyuan and exterminating thieves' followed up to the head of the city and began to salute the Mengyuan officials and soldiers outside the city.
I saw that on the head of Suzhou City, two huge flags fluttered in the wind, one side was embroidered with a 'Yuan', the other side was embroidered with 'Fu Yuan to destroy thieves', and the heads were hung on the outside of the city wall, all of which were the heads of the heinous tax collectors.
In the army outside Suzhou, the 'Dayuan' flags are also fluttering in the wind.
At first glance, the two Yuan armies seem to be fighting among themselves.
"Rebellious ministers and thieves, surrender quickly, and surround you without death!"
Fan Yao sent sergeants to shout outside the city, trying to win the hearts of the people of Suzhou first.
However, the people sent by Shen Wansan also shouted, saying that they were not anti-thieves, but Dayuan Zhongliang, but just eradicated some heinous and traitorous ministers for Dayuan.
The verbal cannons of both sides come and go, and it has no effect at all.
Seeing this, Fan Yao immediately became angry, and sent people to prepare to block the various gates of Suzhou City.
Seeing the swaggering movements of the Yuan army outside the city, Shen Wansan knew that his opportunity had come.
"Artillery ready!"
"The elite dead soldiers of each family are ready, and when the city gate is opened, they will be killed immediately!"
"No matter what the battle situation is, Mingjin will withdraw his troops immediately!"
Shen Wansan's military deployment turned out to be in an orderly manner, and it didn't look like a first.
Just as the Yuan army outside the city began to prepare to block the gates of the city, they suddenly heard a roar from Suzhou City.
Boom!
Boom Boom!
Then clouds of white smoke rose from the head of Suzhou City, and a bitter wail sounded in the Yuan army's position.
The 3,000 Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Yuan troops were instantly dizzy by artillery, and one by one they did not know the generals, and they fled indiscriminately.
The giant merchants in the head of Suzhou were dumbfounded.
None of them thought that the dignified Dayuan would be so weak that this round of artillery bombardment would be chaotic.
Suzhou City recruited a lot of money to dare to die, and immediately took the opportunity to cover up and go out of the city, and 3,000 Jiangsu and Zhejiang officials and troops were killed and fled.
They escaped more than thirty miles in one breath before they dared to stop and take a breath, and Fan Yao, the marshal of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang march, was also hit by an arrow, and was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.
When the news of the defeat came back to Jiqing, Pingzhang Bolu of Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province knew that he was about to be finished.
At this time, Liu Bowen, who participated in politics, reminded beside him: "My lord, the destiny is like this, why not sacrifice the land to protect yourself?" ”
In early summer, Huaidong Gaoyou City.
As a world-famous salt area, Gaoyou has now returned to its former prosperous atmosphere.
The business travelers from the south to the north are already in an endless stream in Gaoyou City.
Just the wine shops and tea stalls along the street are already full of guests.
A group of people dressed in thick black cloth walked into Gaoyou City.
There were about seven or eight of them, and the leader was a tall man who wore a short combat suit, and at first glance he looked like a practitioner.
"Senior brother, how did we come to this Gaoyou City to find Zhu Longxing?" A man following behind asked.
This person called Senior Brother is the eldest disciple of Liu Sangui of the Shandong Righteous Army, and he is also the pirate leader of Haiyang County, and his other identity is to open a martial arts hall and accept disciples to teach as a cover.
"Zhang Dashuai of Gaoyou City, I heard that he is a subordinate of Zhu Longxing, let's go to him." Senior brother Gao Guoping said.
"Senior brother, I don't think the rebels here look like any rebels at all, but like a group of businessmen!" A slightly shorter man said from behind.
He was dressed as a man, but he had no beard on his face, no Adam's apple on his throat, and a hole in his ear.
"Don't say more, let's go quickly." Senior Brother said to his little junior sister.
After inquiry, the group finally came to the mansion of Marshal Zhang Shicheng in Gaoyou City.
However, they didn't even enter the gate, and they were told that Zhang Dashuai was no longer in the mansion and had already gone out to inspect military affairs.
"How can there be any Zhu Longxing, only Marshal Zhu Dashuai, and Deputy Marshal Zhu Xiaomarshal, if you want to find reinforcements, you should hurry up and go to Taizhou to have a look, I heard that Vice Marshal Zhu is inspecting the armament there."
After spending a silver ingot, the group was given useful information.
"Vice Marshal Zhu?"
Gao Guoping and his entourage only understood that the glorious achievements of Zhu Longxing that they heard about were actually based on the merger of the achievements of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han.
"Then let's go to Taizhou, we must hurry!" Gao Guoping said.
"But when I go to Taizhou, if I can't find reinforcements, what can I do, there are more and more dog Tartar soldiers in our family, but they are still waiting for us." The little junior sister dressed as a man said.
"Sanniang, don't worry, if Taizhou can't see Zhu Dashuai, then we will continue to remove the state, and we will always see Zhu Dashuai anyway." Gao Guoping said.
"However, if that Zhu Dashuai, or Deputy Marshal Zhu, doesn't send reinforcements and doesn't save him when he dies, then what should we do?" Little junior sister Liu Sanniang continued.
"Zhu Longxing is such a hero who stands up to the sky, he won't ignore us!" Senior brother Gao Guoping said.
The rebel armies along the coast of Shandong suddenly rose, and at the beginning they really caught the Mengyuan official army by surprise.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
However, when the newly appointed prime minister of Shandong Province, Hama, led his troops to Shandong, the situation of the war immediately reversed.
The army under Hama is basically the Praetorian Guard of the original Mengyuan, they are all able to escort the emperor, and their combat power is much stronger than the garrison in Shandong.
In less than two months, five or six of the more than a dozen rebels of the Great Song Dynasty in Shandong were killed, and the remaining leaders of the rebels were also lost, either trapped in a lonely city, retreated to the island, or hid in the mountains.
Anyway, today's anti-Yuan situation in Shandong has changed from a good thing to a big bad.
Liu Sangui, the leader of the pirates who occupied Haiyang County, also fell into a situation of heavy troops blocking the door.
In order to seek a glimmer of opportunity, Liu Sangui sent his own eldest disciple Gao Guoping and his daughter Liu Sanniang to break through and ask for help.
They traveled all the way and finally came to Huaidong, but they had no clue at all, and they couldn't even find a way to find anyone.
finally came to Gaoyou, but it was another failure.
However, Gao Guoping was not discouraged, and immediately left Gaoyou City and headed towards Taizhou.
They had already inquired about it, there was a Red Turban Army stationed in Taizhou, and Deputy Marshal Zhu Han was there.
After more than a day of traveling, Gao Guoping finally came to the boundary of Taizhou.
They hurried all the way, and they were already sleepy and tired.
I happened to see a tea shop on the side of the road, so the group walked in.
"Shopkeeper, come and have some food and drink!" Gao Guoping shouted loudly.
A guy slowly turned out: "What do you want to eat?" ”
"Just go on it, the silver won't be less yours!" Gao Guoping said.
The shopkeeper showed disdain, this group of rustic Shandong people has a lot of tone, and they have more shelves than those rich salt merchants.
Soon, several meals were served, and Gao Guoping and several people devoured them.
They were originally pirates in Haiyang County, so how could they have anything to eat.
Only that Liu Sanniang was a little reserved, eating in small bites.
However, even Liu Sanniang's so-called small stuttering appearance is rude in the eyes of the shopkeeper.
"This Shandong man eats steamed buns one by one, and his throat and eyes are thick enough."
The two men chuckled under their breath.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of a carriage slamming outside the door.
Gao Guoping raised his eyes and almost jumped up in shock.
I saw a convoy come to the outside of the pantry, more than a dozen large carts were full, and each car had a flag planted on it, which said 'Fuyuan exterminates thieves'.
Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others immediately became vigilant.
"What's the matter, isn't Taizhou the territory of the rebels, how can there be dogs and Tartars?"
The guards of this convoy were obviously elite, all of them were wearing brand new clothes, wearing brand new leather hats, and several of them were wearing armor.
In the eyes of Gao Guoping, a pirate green forest, a soldier who can wear half-body armor is already considered an elite.
"It's not right, copy the guys!" Gao Guoping said in a low voice.
Liu Sanniang and the others put their hands on the handle of the sword, ready to fight back at any time.
However, the little two people in this store don't seem to think anything strange at all.
As soon as he saw the convoy of these 'Fuyuan Exterminators' appear, he greeted them with a smile.
"Master Shen, you're here, please come inside, and prepare the high-grade fruit wine for you!" The shopkeeper said with a grin.
"You're rewarded!"
Shen Ye jumped off the horse majestically and threw a small piece of broken silver to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took the silver and immediately smiled even brighter.
When Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others saw this, they suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Oh no, this fucking is a black shop!"
"The black shop of collusion with the Tartars!"
"They're coming in, they can't wait any longer!"
There were a large number of people in this convoy, and after they came in, they sat down around Gao Guoping and them one after another.
Faintly, Gao Guoping felt as if he was surrounded.
"Senior brother, we can't wait any longer!" Liu Sanniang said in a low voice.
Seeing that these dog tartars are about to come in, there is no hope of breaking through.
Gao Guoping's face suddenly sank, and his heart turned sideways.
Look!
The sound of a sword unsheathed sounded instantly.
Gao Guoping stood up and shouted. "Dog Tartar, take your life!"
The convoy guards had just sat down and hadn't even taken a sip of water, when they saw Gao Guoping and others coming out like this, they were instantly frightened.
Especially the Shen Ye who was generous just now, he was even more nervous.
I saw Shen Yeteng jump up, draw out his saber, and shout loudly while looking around.
"Where's the Tartar?!"
"Where's the Tartar?!"
Suddenly, the guards of the entire tea shop became nervous.
Gao Guoping only felt that the originally tense situation was instantly embarrassing.
"Dog Tartar, what else is it loading!" Liu Sanniang shouted angrily.
The people in the tea shop reacted at this time, and they felt that this group of Shandong guests regarded them as tartars.
Seeing this, Xiao Er of the pantry hurriedly ran out from behind the counter.
"A few people, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
"Master Shen, they are the Fuyuan exterminator army in Suzhou, not some kind of Tartar."
The sword in Liu Sanniang's hand was horizontal, and it was put directly on the neck of the shopkeeper.
"Dog, you're taking us for fools! Fu Yuan to destroy the thief, who is the Yuan, who is the thief, think I don't know? Liu Sanniang shouted.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that his buttocks were urinating, he didn't expect these Shandong customers to be such tigers, and he said that he would do it.
"Hmph, you are outsiders, I don't know what we are doing here!" That Shen Ye spoke.
"Phew, no matter what your situation is, give Lao Tzu death!"
Senior brother Gao Guoping was already too lazy to talk nonsense, stepped forward and kicked over the table, blocked several convoy guards, and then rushed to the door of the pantry.
Shen Ye and the others were caught off guard, and a pot of hot tea almost splashed on Shen Ye's face.
"Dog, look for death!"
"Give it to me!"
Shen Ye was also angry all of a sudden, and with a wave of his hand, he led everyone to chase after him.
A group of people fought in the tea shop, and no one dared to bully them too much.
All of a sudden, all kinds of benches, teapots, and dishes flew in the air.
The crackling sound spread throughout the tea shop and beyond.
Wow!
Suddenly.
Outside, on the main road, there was a rush of horses' hooves.
A dozen horsemen on tall horses rushed straight over.
These cavalrymen, dressed in shiny robes and heavy weapons such as bows and arrows and spears hung on their horses, spread out in a semicircle one by one and blocked the door of the pantry.
Gao Guoping and his people happened to be surrounded by these cavalry.
However, when Gao Guoping and the others saw the appearance of these cavalry clearly, they immediately stopped panicking.
Because these cavalrymen are all wearing red turbans, or red arms, they look like the red turban army.
"Great, it's the brother of the rebels!"
"Dogs, wait for death!"
Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others cheered in surprise.
However, the next scene almost made their jaws drop.
I saw that Shen Ye, covering his forehead, with a red and swollen bag smashed by a teacup, shouting with a crying voice.
"My lord, you have to call the shots for me!"
The leader of this group of cavalry was a teenager, that is, the 'adult' in Shen Ye's mouth.
"Shen Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Han asked with a serious face.
Shen Qi and the others were the purchasers of the 'Fuyuan Exterminators' army in Suzhou, and they were specially responsible for sending silver to the Red Turban Army and buying artillery ammunition.
For Zhu Han, it is equivalent to a fortune boy.
On Taizhou's own territory, someone dares to beat his own fortune boy, can he still give up?
"My lord, these Shandong elders hurt people as soon as they met, and the villain was almost ruined by a pot of boiling water!" Shen Qi pointed to Gao Guoping and complained loudly.
Gao Guoping was already completely confused at this time.
What the hell is going on, the dog Tartars were beaten, and they actually asked the Red Turban Army to administer justice to them.
Is it the dog Tartars who are crazy, or the Red Turbans who are crazy?
Or are we crazy ourselves?
Seeing this group of goose-like Shandong people, Zhu Han also cast a curious gaze.
Hey.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, I actually saw a woman dressed as a man at a glance!
A pair of apricot eyes are full of murderous aura, which is completely different from the momentum that ordinary women can have.
Moreover, this woman has long legs and a thin waist, and the front is convex and the back is also upturned, even if she is wearing men's clothes, she can see a little gorgeous.
Zhu Han looked at it and suddenly shook his head.
He Nana's, he has been at the peak of his growth and development recently, why did he start to be so.
"Are you rebels?"
Liu Sanniang suddenly asked.
"Yes, we are the Red Turban Army, to be exact, we are the Red Turban Army South Route Army!" Zhu Han said to the young lady in front of him.
"Then how do you wear a pair of pants with a dog tartar!" Liu Sanniang then asked.
"Dog Tartar? You mean them? Zhu Han pointed at Shen Qi and the others with his hand.
Liu Sanniang nodded. "That's right, aren't they dog tartars?"
Zhu Han suddenly laughed. "Haha, they're not some kind of dog Tartars, they are the rebels of Suzhou, and they can be regarded as anti-Yuan rebels."
"Anti-Yuan righteous man? Then why is the banner of Fuyuan exterminating thieves hanging? Liu Sanniang asked reluctantly.
When Zhu Han heard this, he understood the reason for the misunderstanding just now.
"Fuyuan exterminates thieves, it's just a slogan, it's like some thieves robbing homes and houses, don't they also shout for the heavens!" Zhu Han said with a smile.
Subsequently, it was explained that Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others believed that Shen Ye and these individuals were righteous people who carried the 'Yuan Banner' against the Yuan.
As for why they did it, they just couldn't figure it out.
Of course, they are already too lazy to pay attention.
The two groups of people covered the wounds they had just bumped and dispersed.
Zhu Han saw that the store was smashed, so he asked them to share the loss of the store equally.
"You are really a righteous army, then you must know where Zhu Dashuai is, or where Deputy Marshal Zhu is, right?"
Liu Sanniang came to Zhu Han's side and asked.
As soon as they heard her words, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Chen Baodao and others behind Zhu Han became nervous, and slowly escorted Zhu Han to his side.
"What are you looking for Zhu Dashuai for?" Zhu Han asked.
"We are the righteous army in Shandong, the situation is critical, come to ask for help and rescue!" Liu Sanniang said.
"Shandong's rebels?" Zhu Han didn't expect that these Shandong people in front of him were not merchants, but rebels.
"Yes, we are the rebels of Haiyang, and our marshal is the uncle of the Great Song Emperor.
。
。 ”
Subsequently, Liu Sanniang revealed the origin of her group.
Zhu Han asked again and again, but there were no inconsistencies, and he no longer doubted their identities.
"Unexpectedly, the situation of the Shandong Righteous Army is already so critical?"
Zhu Han didn't expect that these rebels were so good that they would be easily beaten by Hama's subordinates.
"That's right, emergency is like fighting fire, little brother, take us to Zhu Dashuai!" Liu Sanniang said pleadingly.
Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu and others on the side almost had crooked noses.
The female pirate of Shandong in front of her has eaten the guts of a bear's heart and a leopard, and dares to call the deputy marshal a 'little brother'?
Looking at the whole world, except for Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang's own brother, and Li Zhen's second brother-in-law, no one dares to call Zhu Han so face-to-face.
Even if it is Zhao Lin'er, the little emperor of Yingzhou, all the holy decrees sent are all Zhu Pingzhang or Zhu Qing!
"Little brother? I'm not small! ”
Zhu Han was also unhappy in his heart.
"Are you a rebel or not, can't it be a fake? Did he run out wearing the clothes of the adults in the family? Liu Sanniang saw Zhu Han's reluctance, and immediately said.
Zhu Han smiled slightly: "I can't hide it, I'm afraid it's impossible to take you to see Zhu Dashuai, Zhu Dashuai is busy with military affairs, so he really can't take care of you." ”
"What about Vice Marshal Zhu?" Senior Brother Gao Guoping asked anxiously.
"Oh, if you look for Vice Marshal Zhu, there is no problem, you can see you at any time." Zhu Han said with a smile.
Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others were pleasantly surprised.
Liu Sanniang immediately smiled flatteringly: "Then trouble this brother, hurry up and take us to see Vice Marshal Zhu!" ”
"No problem!"
As Zhu Han spoke, he sat down directly at the table and poured a cup of coarse tea slowly.
Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others saw the stabbing all over.
"Good brother, please, take us quickly." Liu Sanniang said.
Zhu Han drank a cup of tea and shook the dust off his body.
"Okay, the deputy marshal you are looking for is here, if you want any reinforcements, just ask." Zhu Han said.
Gao Guoping and Liu Sanniang were stunned.
"You, what, you're the lieutenant?" Gao Guoping swallowed a mouthful of saliva and felt dizzy.
"Little brother, don't be kidding!" Liu Sanniang thought he was joking.
"Look at Ben Shuai, do you seem to be joking?" Zhu Han's expression was solemn, and he was immediately filled with a compelling momentum.
Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Chen Baodao and others behind him also looked like they were not angry and arrogant, and immediately made Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others believe Zhu Han's words.
"Lieutenant Marshal!"
"Is it really the lieutenant?"
On the other side, Shen Qi and other Suzhou rebels felt that these Shandong rebels were simply stupid.
"Shen Qi, you guys hurry up and go!"
Zhu Han said casually, it can be regarded as a down
Guest order.
Shen Qi and the others also knew that they would definitely discuss some major military aircraft matters next, and of course they hurriedly retired.
After some conversations, Zhu Han basically understood the situation of the Shandong Righteous Army.
They are important people and no people, they want to be equipped or not, except for some advantages of being familiar with the terrain, they are simply in a situation of annihilation at any time.
"Looks like we'll have to send troops myself!"
"Chang Yuchun, you hurry up and make arrangements, all the sea ships in the Taizhou area are temporarily requisitioned, and they are ready to transport troops to Shandong for us!"
Today's Taizhou is not only a military fortress at the mouth of the Yangtze River, but also a transit place between Gaoyou, Zhuzhou and Jinling to the open sea.
