Even, it is even more alternative and strange than the new study of the Southern Confucian Sage that I got before.

The textbooks taught in these schools are all new knowledge such as mathematics, physics, biochemistry, etc., and all the textbooks are made up by Zhu Han himself.

Zhu Han said: "What we learn for the children are all good things, and in the future, the foundation of the Han family will stand tall in the world, but we can count on these new learnings!" ”

"Brother, you also know that even if you are as rich and wealthy as the Zhao and Song dynasties, once you face the invasion of Hulu foreign enemies, without strong soldiers, no amount of money can buy peace, only by cultivating both civil and military can you really win peace."

"And in order to achieve both civil and military training, it is necessary to achieve both civil and military training from the selection of talents!"

"Expect a group of talented scholars who only read the books of sages to promote the art of war and military? It's just a dream. Zhu Han continued, "Therefore, what I am promoting in this school of our children is a new study of both civil and military studies, and after completing the study, I will not become a merry scholar who does splendid articles, but I will definitely become a real talent who is useful to the people of the world!" ”

"The sour and rotten Confucian students who do splendid articles will not get official positions with us in the future, and more and more people will rush to learn new things!" Zhu Han said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Well, that's the truth!" Reading too many sage books can indeed make people a little pedantic. ”

Zhu Han said, "Brother, my suggestion is that we should set up new schools in each state capital, and these schools can recruit students regardless of whether they are rich or poor, as long as they pass the examination, they can all be admitted for free." ”

"Free admission? It's a novelty, but if every state capital has such a school, I don't know how much money it will cost. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

Zhu Han smiled and touched his head, and then said, "In fact, not only is it free admission to these new schools, but as long as they are learning, the government will also give each of them food money, book money, pen and ink money, and even if they learn better, they can also get the government's allowance, just like the students who receive rice and grain from the official family, this is a good thing to carry forward and promote education, and these taught talents are really useful!" ”

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang is also a studious person, and the textbooks compiled by Zhu Han for the nephew school, the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang also read them all.

"This is just a preliminary stage, and when the world is really peaceful in the future, I will plan to implement compulsory education!" Zhu Han looked forward to the future and was widowed.

"Compulsory education? What is compulsory education? "Brother Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't understand it again.

"Compulsory education means that all school-age children, regardless of age, must go to the school to study, otherwise, their parents will be punished, with a fine of money and a penalty, so as to include all people in the world in the education of the school!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gasped, "What a big deal this has to be!" ”

If all the children in the world can go to the school to study, instead of chasing the cow behind the butt and picking up cow dung like when he was a child, Zhu Yuanzhang is excited to think about it.

This is a great feat that can truly leave a name for eternity.

Zhu Han's goal is naturally ambitious, but now after all, his strength is still insufficient, and he can only temporarily implement his own new-style schools in various state capitals.

Pave the way for the reform of the talent selection mechanism in the future.

Just as Zhu Han and his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang were discussing how to promote the new policy in the two provinces of Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Liu Futong, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty in Yingzhou, already felt that he was in a huge crisis.

Yingzhou, the Great Prime Minister's Mansion.

Since Liu Futong broke through the siege of Kaifeng and fled all the way back to Yingzhou, he felt that the situation around him had become worse in an instant, especially the generals of the Red Turban Army in Henan, who no longer looked down on him, but began to disobey him behind his back.

Mr. Liu felt his credibility was being challenged.

Although it is said that Liu Futong has no emperor to pretend to be, he is also the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he has a heavy army, and he is one of the best figures in the whole of Henan, but now that he is so neglected, Liu Futong's mood will naturally not be much better.

This made him very angry.

"My lord, do you think you want to mobilize people and teach those dog tartars a lesson?" Guan Duo, the right-hand man beside Liu Futong, saw that Liu Futong's face was not very good, so he asked tentatively.

Now if you want Liu Futong to restore his original prestige, he must win a big victory from the Tartars.

But how to win from the Tartars?

Guan Duo doesn't know!

Liu Futong was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's not needed for the time being, but we have to step up preparations for defense, I heard that the Tartars want to attack Yingzhou, and we must be prepared at that time, otherwise once Yingzhou is lost, it will be troublesome." ”

Hearing Liu Futong say this, Guan Duo hurriedly agreed, "Obey the order, the last general understands!" ”

"Well, let's go, you go and review the affairs of the various armaments and wars, this matter must be done well, it is a matter of gain or loss in Yingzhou." Liu Futong said.

"The last will obey."

Watching Guan Duo leave, Liu Futong's eyes showed a touch of fierceness, "Tartars, if you have the ability, just come and say hello, the old man will not let you go!" ”

After Guan Duo retreated, Liu Futong sat on the chair, his eyes narrowed, and he was thinking about some questions.

He was thinking about how he could restore his prestige as soon as possible in a short period of time.

Liu Futong thought for a long time without any thoughts, and finally simply stood up directly, walked out of the study, and came to the courtyard outside.

In the courtyard, several guards saw Liu Futong go out and hurriedly bowed.

Liu Futong waved his hand, "No need to be polite, I'll take a walk in the yard, you all go and do your own business, don't worry about me!" ”

"Whoa!"

After seeing the guards leave, Liu Futong took a deep breath and began to pace back and forth in the courtyard.

Suddenly!

There was a burst of candlelight flickering in his study, and the candle on the book eucalyptus didn't know how to fall, instantly igniting a large piece of paper in the study.

The firelight lit up the whole room red!

Liu Futong was full of worries, but he didn't notice it at all.

Until Guan Duo, who had just walked a short distance, saw the red light.

Anxiously ran in to avoid a fire.

"The prime minister is too hard, it's better to be careful of the candle!" Guan Duo extinguished the flames and said, "Fortunately, I saw the red light in the prime minister's courtyard, otherwise it would be really dangerous." ”

Liu Futong was originally preoccupied, but when he heard the words 'red light rushing to the sky', a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Red light?"

"Mr. Guan, do you know what the red light is?"

A bold idea suddenly germinated in Liu Futong's heart!

"Red light? What does this mean, is there something big about to happen? Guan Duo said in surprise.

"The red light is soaring into the sky, doesn't it mean that there must be a destiny here?" Liu Futong smiled mysteriously.

"Destiny?" Guan Duo was taken aback, he had already vaguely guessed what Liu Futong thought.

I only heard Liu Futong continue: "I heard that since ancient times, all emperors were born, all accompanied by visions from heaven, I often heard my mother say when I was a child, the day I was born, but the red light was all over the sky, and a phoenix fell on the sycamore tree in the courtyard!" ”

When Guan Duo heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Liu Fu said it so clearly on the phone, even a fool understands it!

Liu Futong is planning to be the emperor himself!

Now the Great Song Emperor Han Lin'er is dead, and he has left no descendants, not even an uncle or cousin.

If Liu Futong really inherited the mandate of heaven and became the emperor, it would really be a way to save his reputation.

However, if it is not operated properly, it is not known whether it will backfire.

Guan Duo's heart was very conflicted, but he didn't dare to speak, because he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and make Liu Futong mistakenly think that he was questioning himself.

"Mr. Guan, I know what's going on in your mind."

Liu Futong saw that Guan Duo looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, so he knew what Guan Duo was thinking.

Liu Futong continued to speak: "I know, you are worried in your heart, afraid that after I become the emperor, I will make the people of the Great Song Dynasty suffer, you don't have to worry about this matter, I will naturally let the people live well, and I will definitely not lose you old brothers!" ”

When Guan Duo heard this, he raised his head and arched his hand at Liu Futong, "Thank you for Prime Minister's love." ”

Guan Duo's heart is also full of expectations, and he also knows very well that once Liu Futong ascends the throne as emperor, he will definitely reuse Guan Duo and those generals under Liu Futong.

According to the rules of ancient times, if you want to be an emperor, it is very troublesome.

If a person wants to be an emperor, he can't simply say that he wants to be an emperor, but he must follow a set of standard procedures.

First of all, someone has to persuade him, that is, the subordinates collectively kneel down to ask Liu Futong to be the emperor, that is, the matter of 'being ordered by the heavens to live forever' must win the hearts of the people.

This number of people, naturally the more the better, if it is the standard minister in ancient times, it must be that all the subordinates have to unanimously promote Liu Futong as the emperor.

However, now that Liu Futong wants to be the emperor, except for Yingzhou's henchmen, generals and strategists, who must support the accident, and who supports and opposes the rest of the marshals, but it is not necessarily.

For this problem, Liu Futong chose to turn a blind eye, as long as he was called the emperor in Yingzhou, then he would take the first place in the name, and when the time came, he wanted the marshals from all walks of life to gradually accept him.

Secondly, if you want to be the emperor, you have to follow the standard process, after the generals and strategists unanimously asked Liu Futong to be the emperor, Liu Futong had to resign, and retreated on the grounds that his merits were not virtuous enough, and then tossed three times before he could reluctantly accept the matter of being the emperor.

There's a technical term for this, it's called 'three excuses'.

After the three invitations and three resignations, you have to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, which requires the emperor's dragon robe, crown, car driver, honor guard, etc., and also set up the Seven Temples of the Son of Heaven, which enshrine Liu Futong's seven generations of ancestors, or more distant ancestors.

In Yingzhou City, Guan Duo successively found Dong Da and other generals, and revealed to them Liu Futong's idea of wanting to ascend the throne and become emperor.

As Liu Futong's confidants, these people all unanimously agreed with Liu Futong as the emperor.

After all, now Han Lin'er, the king of Xiao Ming, has died in battle.

The entire Red Turban Army was at the point where it had no nominal leader.

Liu Futong stood up to be the emperor at this time, which means that the brothers of the righteous army from all walks of life have the backbone again.

"However, this thing is still too risky!"

Just because most people agree with it doesn't mean that there aren't people who oppose it.

According to Liu Futong's prestige, if he is called emperor before Bianliang City is not lost, I am afraid that most of the marshals will not object, after all, at that time, it was a posture of going north to destroy the Yuan, but now Kaifeng Bianliang City is lost, and the emperor Han Lin'er is dead.

"If someone refuses to accept the matter of Dacheng becoming emperor, what should we do? Should you send troops to attack, if you send troops to attack and win, then it will be just a cannibalism, at most it can be regarded as cannibalism. ”

"But if he is defeated, or if he doesn't send troops to attack directly, the great prime minister's emperor prestige will be completely lost, and the gains will outweigh the losses!"

Zhao Jun's words made Guan Duo and the others immediately understand who he was referring to.

"Brother Zhao, you're talking about the two brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han." Guan Duo frowned and said.

Zhao Junyong nodded, "Sort of, the two of them must be doing something, and most of the others will not settle down." ”

Guan Duo and the others bowed their heads for a while.

Now the two brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han of the Red Turban Army are strong and strong, and no one in the entire Red Turban Army knows about it.

Once the Zhu Yuanzhang brothers turn their faces, even Yingzhou's armaments, grain, grass, and baggage will fall into shortages.

For this problem, Guan Duo and others are at a loss.

"I think, let's persuade the prime minister, don't be in a hurry to become the emperor." Zhao Jun said with a sigh.

Guan Duo and the others thought about it for a while, and they all felt that it made sense.

After all, the two brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han are not easy to mess with, once they turn their faces, they can't beat them, and they don't even dare to fight.

Everyone unanimously came to find Liu Futong and wanted to dissuade Liu Futong from dispelling the idea of becoming emperor.

Who knows, Liu Futong saw so many people coming to find him together, and thought that they had come to persuade him to be the emperor and sit in the world, and he was excited for a while.

However, when Guan Duo, Dong Da, Zhao Junyong and others confided their intentions, Liu Futong's whole face fell.

"That's what you're here for?" Liu Futong said coldly.

"Prime Minister, please think twice, don't make too many enemies, it's a big deal to destroy the Tartars first!" Zhao Jun was the most upright and immediately persuaded loudly.

Liu Futong's face became even more ugly, he pointed to Zhao Jun's nose and scolded sharply.

"Fart! Now that the Tartars are rampant, King Xiao Ming is unfortunately martyred, and the dragons are leaderless, who else can pick up this responsibility except me! ”

Liu Futong became more and more angry the more he spoke, "If it is like what you said, I am afraid of this and that, Lao Tzu will not raise troops to kill Tartars back then!" ”

"Don't think about it anymore, hurry up and follow this matter for me, if anyone dares to stop it, immediately deal with it according to the delay of the military plane!"

Liu Futong's tough attitude immediately frightened everyone and did not dare to dissuade him anymore.

Although he has been the prime minister for so many years, Liu Futong has always been quite open-minded in his life, but after all, he is a brave man who dares to raise troops in the first place, and if he really starts to be angry, it is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Liu Futong was very disgusted with Zhao Junyong's attitude, and when he saw everyone obediently and obediently, only Zhao Junyong's face still had a bitter and hateful look, and a wave of anger rose in his heart.

"Zhao Junyong! Prime Minister appointed you as the vanguard officer of military rations, go to Jiangnan, and ask Zhu Yuanzhang to send another batch of grain and grass to Yingzhou, by the way, find out the attitude of the two brothers, and persuade them two brothers for me, don't think that I want to enjoy myself as the emperor, and tell them that I am thinking about the great cause of the world against the Yuan! Liu Futong said in a deep voice.

Zhao Junyong, as a veteran of the Red Turban Army, has always had a good reputation, even if he opposes Liu Futong as emperor, Liu Futong can't do anything to him, he can only send Zhao Junyong far away, don't interfere with himself.

"Subordinates obey!" Zhao Jun replied with a frown, he is also a smart person, knowing that Liu Futong can no longer tolerate himself, and going out to Jiangnan can be regarded as saving some face.

As Liu Futong's henchmen, when the time comes, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han's brothers will be dissatisfied with Liu Futong's claim to be emperor, and they will definitely not have a good face for Zhao Junyong, after all, Zhao Junyong is Liu Futong's general.

Zhao Junyong will fall into a situation where he is not a person inside and out.

Sent away Zhao Jun with this nasty ghost, Liu Futong unabashedly and directly instructed Guan Duo and others to prepare the process of becoming emperor.

First of all, inside and outside Yingzhou City, Liu Futong's miraculous origin was greatly exaggerated, like when he was born, Liu Futong's mother gave birth to a child, and the red light was full of sky, marking a vision from the sky.

Otherwise, Liu Futong once killed a black snake, and then turned into a cloud of black smoke and drifted to the north, indicating that Meng Yuan was a black snake monster, and Liu Futong was naturally a demon slayer ordered by the sky.

After many visions appeared, all kinds of exotic beasts were offered in various places, such as wheat with three or four ears, or white elk, or turtles with writing on their shells, and so on.

Everything was Liu Futong who was called by the heavens, and then Guan Duo and others wrote to Liu Futong together, allowing him to ascend the throne and become the emperor.

After a complete set of three invitations and three resignations, Liu Futong reluctantly agreed to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, but in order to show Liu Futong's loyalty to the first emperor Han Lin'er, he would not change to other era names, but continued to use the dragon and phoenix era names.

In other words, as soon as Liu Futong ascended the throne and became the emperor, the era name was directly done to the 'dragon and phoenix three years'!

This matter seems to be a bit outrageous, but in fact, there are examples of the previous dynasty can be used for reference, when the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the founding emperor of the Later Han Dynasty Liu Zhiyuan was born under the command of Shi Jingjiao, the emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, after replacing the Later Jin Dynasty to rule the Central Plains, the Later Han Dynasty continued to use the previous dynasty's 'Tianfu' year name, which can be regarded as condensing the hearts of a wave of old generals and ministers of the previous dynasty.

As for the country name, Liu Futong is very simple and also uses the country name of 'Han' for himself.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty Liu Futong made such a gorgeous appearance!

Subsequently, Liu Futong set Yingzhou as the capital, the year name Longfeng for three years, named his wife, children and others as the queen and prince, etc., and posthumously honored seven generations of ancestors as emperors.

In order to encompass the internal and external marshals, Liu Futong gave the internal generals the title of king and prime minister, and sealed more than ten generals, prime ministers, privy envoys, etc.

After a series of unusually rapid processes, before many of the leaders of the rebel army outside could react, Liu Futong had already transformed into the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!

。

。

。

The news that Liu Futong was the emperor of the founding of the country and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty reached Jinling, which immediately surprised everyone.

After Zhu Han and his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang received the information, they immediately fell into suspicion.

They felt that what they had heard was false information.

However, this news was confirmed with the emperor's envoy sent by Liu Futong in Yingzhou.

Regarding the news of Liu Futong's title to the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang was very disdainful in his heart, and he said to Zhu Han, "People will choose to be the emperor after winning a big victory or making a great contribution. ”

Zhu Han was also very surprised by the news that Liu Futong was proclaimed emperor!

According to the trajectory of history, Liu Futong has never been the emperor.

However, it may also be because Han Lin'er has always lived well, otherwise, Liu Futong really wants to be the emperor.

"Since Han Lin'er is dead, Liu Futong is called the emperor, and it seems that some things have been said." Zhu Han said to his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang, "Liu Futong is the emperor, which is really a bad move, but he must have considered it." ”

Zhu Han had also guessed that Liu Futong must have lost his land and prestige because of a big defeat, and wanted to use the method of being emperor to reunite the morale of the rebels from all walks of life.

However, this method is not very useful.

In Zhu Han's view, if the internal stability is relatively stable, it is not an unacceptable thing to experience a big defeat and directly usurp the throne and become emperor, but now that the Red Army is fighting on its own, many marshals from all walks of life have dropped a lot in their support for Liu Futong.

is now rashly claiming the emperor, and only the henchmen of Liu Futong in Yingzhou have benefited, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as Peng Da and other peripheral generals, and there is no great benefit.

Ranwen

Zhu Han felt that Liu Futong's proclamation as emperor had no impact on himself and his brother, but had some benefits.

"Now that Han Lin'er is dead, we also occupy Jiangnan and Jiangbei."

"Since Liu Futong wants this name, then give it to him, the strategy we set at the beginning was to build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king. Now with Liu Futong in front of the top cylinder, we can better develop the internal strength of Jiangnan and Jiangbei! Zhu Han said.

"That's the way it is, but if we bow down to Liu Futong, then we won't be able to straighten our backs and be the masters in the future." Zhu Yuanzhang was very dissatisfied with Liu Futong's claim to be emperor.

At the beginning, Han Lin'er called the emperor the emperor, and it can be said that the leaders of the Red Turban Army from all walks of life are not strong, and they must launch a co-master of the world to play the meaning of commanding the heroes of the world.

However, now Zhu Yuanzhang's strength is no longer what it used to be, and letting another emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Futong, have another emperor above his head, which is unacceptable to Zhu Yuanzhang no matter what.

"Since we can't accept it, then we simply don't accept it."

"If you don't admit it, then I'm afraid you'll have to go to war with Liu Futong."

Zhu Han smiled and said to his brother, "Brother, don't forget, Liu Futong is still counting on our grain and grass in the south of the Yangtze River, but they are all short supplies in his army, without our support, Yingzhou is afraid that it won't be able to hold on for long, even if you don't recognize him?" ”

Liu Futong is indeed counting on Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han's brothers to live.

"Seventy-five, then tell me quickly, how to deal with Liu Futong's claim to be emperor, I don't want to be a courtier for him." Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly said.

Zhu Han then said with a smile: "We can send a letter to Liu Futong first, and continue to use the title of the great prime minister to him, just say that the world is undecided now, and please ask the great prime minister to pay attention to the overall situation of the world, don't rashly call the emperor, save yourself from attracting the crazy counterattack of the Yuan Dynasty Tartars, everything in the name of being good for Liu Futong, and then oppose him to be the emperor, see what he does, if Liu Futong is not crazy, he will definitely pinch his nose and explain, and then it is a."

At that time, everyone in the world knows that if you oppose Liu Futong as emperor, Liu Futong will also turn his face directly against us for his three-point thin face, so that we can join forces to resist the Tartars, and everyone in the world also knows that you don't agree with Liu Futong to be the emperor, if we have our own plans to build a country in the future, it can be said that it can be completely justified! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently, he felt that Zhu Han's suggestion was indeed a good idea.

As long as they show their attitude, then in the future, they will be strong, and if they set up their own door, they will not cause many people to accuse them of betrayal.

Facts have proved that not only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han's brothers disagreed, but Liu Futong became the emperor of the founding of the country, and other Red Army generals in areas such as Maozhou, Ruzhou, and Xuzhou also adopted the same strategy as Zhu Yuanzhang.

On the one hand, they praised and supported Liu Futong's merits and status.

However, regarding Liu Futong's claim to be emperor, he expressed his opposition very politely one by one.

This is also a clear attitude of theirs, and Liu Futong chose to ignore the soft and hard opposition of these people.

Because, in Liu Futong's view, as long as they don't have real opposition to being the emperor, everything can be discussed.

It was in this way that Liu Futong, the Han Emperor of Yingzhou, and the Red Army generals from all walks of life outside actually formed a unanimous tacit understanding.

This is a strange tacit understanding, for the imperial throne of Liu Futong in Yingzhou, the Red Army generals of all walks of life did not recognize and support it from beginning to end.

In this way, Liu Futong's emperor became a small court in Yingzhou that played behind closed doors.

Regarding the fact that Liu Futong claimed that the emperor became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the reaction of the generals of the Red Army from all walks of life can be said to be the smallest.

But for this matter, the biggest reaction came from the old opponent - the Mengyuan army.

Chahan Timur, Wang Baobao, Li Siqi and others, who had just captured Bianliang, were furious when they heard that Liu Futong, the prime minister of the Yingzhou Red Turban Army, had become the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

This finally eliminated a Great Song Emperor, Han Lin'er, and a Great Han Emperor Liu Futong emerged.

This is nothing short of a provocation against their big victory.

In order to exterminate Liu Futong, the leader of the thieves, and crack down on such an arrogant provocation, Chahan Timur, Wang Baobao and others immediately wrote to the Dadu Imperial Court of the Yuan Dynasty, asking the imperial court to allocate another batch of grain and grass as soon as possible, and then support them to go south to exterminate Liu Futong, the leader of the Red Turban Army in Yingzhou.

Chahan Timur, Wang Baobao and others said in the above book that as long as Liu Futong, the Red Turban Army in Yingzhou, was exterminated, then the Red Turban Army in the world basically had no foothold in the Central Plains, and when the time came, the Great Yuan Dynasty occupied the core area of the Central Plains, and it could attack the north and the south, and gradually wipe out Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Han's brothers, Xu Shouhui, Chen Youliang, Ming Yuzhen and other rebels.

For this grand wish to be able to exterminate the world's anti-thieves, the Dayuan court, which has just ushered in a big victory, is naturally very much looking forward to it.

Therefore, for the batch of military supplies required by Chahan Timur, Wang Baobao and other generals, the regent Empress Dowager Qi and others of the Mengyuan court immediately raised twelve points of spirit and spirit, and searched Hebei, Shanxi, Liaoyang, Shandong and Shaanxi under their rule again, and even scraped the land three feet thinner, so that they could barely scrape together a batch of grain and grass and began to transport it to the base camp of the anti-bandit army in Bianliang, Henan.

And just as the Mengyuan Imperial Court was preparing for a large-scale military war and preparing to go south to destroy the Han Emperor Liu Futong, in the south of Yingzhou, Hanyang in Hubei was about to emerge again!

Hubei, Hanyang City.

Since Chen Youliang returned from a failed sneak attack on Jiangnan last time, the base camp of the Tianwan Red Turban Army has moved back from Jiangxi to Hanyang, Hubei.

After a big defeat, Chen Youliang returned to Hubei and immediately killed a group of generals and ministers loyal to Emperor Xu Shouhui of Tianwan, in order to warn the generals who ruled internally, so that they should not have dissent because of their defeat, but he Chen Youliang still has the ability to kill.

However, killing people alone is far from enough to make up for the loss of prestige caused by Chen Youliang's defeat in Jiangnan.

In order to strengthen his prestige, he removed the burden of Emperor Xu Shouhui on the top of his head.

Chen Youliang did not hesitate to set a plan to kill Xu Shouhui and then claim the emperor to build the country.

As soon as this plan was proposed, many ministers and generals opposed it.

They all felt defeated and returned, they should have been people with their tails between their legs, not to mention killing a group of generals and strategists of the Tianwan Red Turban Army, and now they are even going to kill the Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui, which is simply appalling.

Zou Pusheng and other generals and strategists expressed their opposition one after another.

However, it is obvious that Chen Youliang already has an idea in his heart.

He was not impressed by the opposition of Zou Pusheng and others, and he secretly arranged for his henchmen to ambush in the temple outside Hanyang City.

Then, he took the opportunity to invite Emperor Tianwan Xu Shouhui to go to the temple to worship the White Lotus Holy Ancestor in the name of the Holy Ancestor, and deceived Emperor Tianwan Xu Shouhui to the White Lotus Temple outside Hanyang City.

After the poor Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui entered the White Lotus Temple, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind!

"Look at the hammer!"

Just heard an angry shout, and a golden gourd hammer weighing several catties shattered the skull of Emperor Xu Shouhui of Tianwan!

Blood and brains burst into the main hall of the White Lotus Temple! Emperor Xu Shouhui ended in a hurry!

Subsequently, Chen Youliang announced that Emperor Xu Shouhui was assassinated by the traitor Zhu Yuanzhang's brothers!

In front of such an extremely vicious opponent, in order to stabilize the interior of the Tianwan Red Turban Army, the great prime minister and generalissimo Chen Youliang chose to ascend to the foundation of the country under the unanimous recommendation of everyone!

Chen Youliang proclaimed himself Emperor of the Han Dynasty, built the capital of Hanyang, changed his name to Longwu, and claimed to be the Emperor of Longwu.

He named his wife and his newborn son as the queen and prince, and then wantonly divided the generals, ordered them to build warships to train the army, and prepared to crusade against Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han brothers again!

Of course, this time it was certainly not some sneak attack.

Prepare for an above-board crusade!

Moreover, Chen Youliang shamelessly avenge Emperor Xu Shouhui in the name of Tianwan Emperor.

The news has spread, and the people of the world suddenly feel very magical, one in the south and one in the north, the two Han Empires, just appeared gorgeously.

Their territory is closely connected, but they can go their own way, which is really breathtaking.

Chen Youliang ascended the throne and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he was not interested in Liu Futong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty in the north.

Chen Youliang only wanted to take the rich Jiangnan area, and then wait for an opportunity to march north to seize the Central Plains.

So for the poor jingle of the Yingzhou Red Turban Army.

Chen Youliang only sent people to take precautions along the border, and did not have any intention of attacking.

Chen Youliang devoted all his energy, financial resources, and manpower to the work of rebuilding the Dahan Yangtze River Water Division.

After all, if you want to attack Jiangnan, you must have a strong sailor.

Chen Youliang learns from the pain!

After leading a group of generals to seriously recall the experience of the last failed sneak attack, they came to a crucial conclusion.

That is, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han's brothers were able to ambush themselves successfully, in addition to their carelessness and falling into the enemy's encirclement, there is another important reason, that is, the Jiangnan Red Turban Army has a very powerful artillery!

When mounted on a battleship, this cannon can deal a devastating blow to an enemy warship, and a fire-spitting cannon can shatter all the hardwood on a wooden battleship.

No matter how powerful the sailors and warriors are, there is no way to get close to the gang fighting, so this time to prepare for the war, Chen Youliang has a new charter for the reconstruction of the water army.

Chen Youliang invested greater manpower and material resources to build a group of artillery warships that could rival the Jiangnan Navy in reliance.

However, just a casting cannon put Chen Youliang in a situation where it was difficult to open the door.

In the city of Hanyang, there is a huge workshop.

The workshop was full of people, the craftsmen were shirtless, sweating, and the hot copper water and coal made this workshop like a furnace.

Emperor Chen Youliang of the Han Dynasty worked tirelessly today to inspect the workshop in Hanyang.

"Your Majesty, this is a batch of artillery that we have newly made, according to the shape of the artillery purchased from Jiangnan, in terms of appearance, there is absolutely no slightest mistake, but we still have some differences in the proportion of copper, in any case, it is not as good as Jiangnan's artillery!" Said a leader of the craftsmen.

The two bronze cannons in front of him, judging from the fineness, Chen Youliang judged the difference between Hanyang-made artillery and Jinling-made artillery.

Although the artillery made in Hanyang is also golden, there is always a slight difference between it and the artillery made in Jiangjinling.

Chen Youliang doesn't know, the difference is precisely because of the addition of metal zinc, and when metal zinc is added to bronze, it can become a standard gun copper!

Gun copper, also known as brass, has better performance and stronger corrosion resistance, especially for naval naval artillery ships, it is the best material.

In order to rebuild his Han Yangtze River Naval Army, Chen Youliang spent a lot of manpower and material resources!

I secretly bought a few Jinling-made artillery pieces from Jiangnan.

These cannons were supposed to be installed on merchant ships, but Chen Youliang spent more than 1,000 taels of gold to send someone to smuggle them back.

Chen Youliang looked at the Hanyang cannon that had been created, stroked the cannon body, and then asked:

"If the difference is not big, then it is acceptable, how powerful is this artillery?"

The leader of the craftsmen in charge of casting the artillery immediately said, "Your Majesty, we have already tested the country, please rest assured, at a distance of dozens of steps, the difference between the two is not so big, but our Hanyang-made artillery seems to be easy to provoke some patina, but as long as it is well maintained, there is no hindrance to some patina!" ”

"Let's go! Go try the cannon! Chen Youliang said.

Subsequently, the Han monarchs and ministers came to a school field outside Hanyang City, which was Chen Youliang's newly established artillery test base.

With a roar, the Hanyang-made artillery was fired one after another like a devastating fire, hitting the target dozens of steps away.

Heavy shells shattered the thick planks on the targets.

Chen Youliang is very satisfied with this result.

According to the power of this cannon, as long as it is fired at close range, no matter what kind of hardwood battleship will reveal a huge hole, and naturally there will be no strength to continue fighting.

Rumble!

Rumble!

There was another heavy roar of artillery.

The Han Emperor Chen Youliang held a torch in his hand and personally tested several bronze cannons.

Chen Youliang expressed great interest in this powerful new artillery.

He nodded with satisfaction, "These cannons must be made for me more, at least a thousand!" ”

"What?! A thousand doors? ”

Zou Pusheng, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty who was in charge of casting artillery, suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.

"How, a thousand doors, do you do it?" Chen Youliang frowned and asked.

Zou Pusheng nodded seriously and said, "Your Majesty, you really can't do it!" These cannons are really expensive, a cannon can easily cost thousands of pounds, this is not counting the materials, labor and consumables, as well as all kinds of fire consumption, just the copper used in this artillery, it is worth a lot! ”

The copper used in these bronze cannons was originally intended to be minted for copper coins.

In other words, in addition to being a weapon in itself, the bronze cannon itself is actually minted from piles of copper coins, so it is naturally expensive.

When Chen Youliang heard this, he immediately frowned.

"If you can't even do a thousand artillery pieces, then how can you level the two traitors Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han brothers!"

Chen Youliang said indignantly.

Regarding the failure of the last sneak attack on Jiangnan, the more Chen Youliang thought about it, the more he felt that it was not his fault!

It refers to the fact that the brothers Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang are too cunning.

In any case, the goal of these 1,000 artillery pieces needs to be accomplished by Chen Youliang!

1,000 guns, according to Chen Youliang's plan, a battleship equipped with 20 guns is only 50 warships, and 50 warships are only barely able to fight for the Zhu brothers in Jiangnan.

Because, according to the information that Chen Youliang sent people to inquire about in Jiangnan, this kind of fire under the Zhu Yuanzhang brothers

There must be at least a hundred battleships, which means more than 2,000 guns!

One thousand doors to two thousand, thinking about the gap, Chen Youliang found it difficult to accept.
