With a rattling sound.

The students who were about to enter Taixue took their swords one after another and handed them over to the guards next to them for safekeeping.

Zhao Min had to hand over his family heirloom sword.

In this way, Zhao Min was already extremely disappointed in his heart.

Without weapons, no matter how close to Zhu Han is, it is impossible to have the means to assassinate him, not to mention so many fierce guards, Zhu Han, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, must be extremely difficult to deal with.

After all, Zhu Han was under the defense of the Great Yuan Praetorian Guards and killed the Great Yuan Emperor Tuhuan Timur.

Everyone put down their weapons, and Zhao Min followed these students into the hall of Taixue, which was the first large-scale building built in Yingtianfu after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

The building materials used in the entire Taixue Hall are all stone.

The height of the Taixue hall is more than a dozen steps, and the width is also dozens of steps.

The appearance of the entire Taixue Hall looks magnificent, like a huge pagoda erected in Nanjing Yingtian City.

After everyone entered, they found their seats according to the seats on their tickets.

Zhao Min's seat was really very forward, and the ten thousand households who were lecturing in front of him almost had to spray saliva on the faces of the students in the front row.

The person next to Wanhu is none other than Zhu Han, the king of the Ming Dynasty.

But now Zhao Minzhong didn't have a sword, so he could only look at the face of this enemy with hatred, wanting to imprint his appearance deeply in his mind.

Until the end of the entire open class, Zhao Min didn't listen to a single word about the content of the open class, and his mind was full of Zhu Han's somewhat handsome face, which lingered in his mind for a long time.

With a deep impression of Zhu Han and an unforgettable hatred, Zhao Min left the Taixue University Hall with everyone.

After returning to the inn where he was staying, Zhao Min had been thinking about how to carry out the assassination and revenge plan in the future.

If he couldn't kill Zhu Han, a thief, Zhao Min felt that his trip to Nanjing Ying Tianfu this time would be a complete failure.

The hatred of the country and the family cannot allow oneself to fail.

When night fell, Zhao Min lay on the bed in the inn, unable to sleep for a long time, thinking hard about how to carry out a revenge plan.

Today's experience made Zhao Min know that in a public occasion like Taixue Guozijian, the probability of assassinating Zhu Han is very low, not to mention so many palace guards, even those students will pounce on them once they see the assassination, I am afraid they will pounce on and subdue themselves.

Zhao Min is in the Taixue University Hall today, but he saw that those students admired King Zhu Han very much, and could even say that they loved it.

Hubei, Anzhou.

As the newly established state capital of the Ming Dynasty, it was the front-line base camp for the attack on Chen Youliang.

Outside the city of Anzhou, more than 100,000 Ming troops were marching forward neatly, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, came to the front line in person and led the soldiers to attack the remnants of Chen Youliang's forces.

As long as the remnants of Chen Youliang's forces are driven out of Anzhou, then the entire Hubei will all fall into the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Ming army came from afar, and after a long battle, it was already exhausted.

Now that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty is on the front line, although the morale of the soldiers has been slightly improved, the war is still stalemate for the time being.

The fatigue of the Ming army, Chen Youliang naturally captured it very keenly.

Taking advantage of this exhaustion of the Ming army, Chen Youliang took the opportunity to launch several surprise attacks, which caused the Ming army in front of him to panic for a while.

Especially those soldiers and horses recruited by Huguang, there were even a few cases of rout and escape.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang had to rectify the military law and personally ordered the deserters to be beheaded for public display, which stabilized the morale of these recruits.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the head of the city of Anzhou, looked at the battleships on the Yangtze River, and showed an unhappy expression.

"Now that Chen Youliang occupies the advantageous terrain, which of you can have a way to crack Chen Youliang's defense?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, at this time, he thought in his heart that if the junior brother Qiwu was here, there would definitely be a way to solve Chen Youliang's situation.

"Your Majesty, now that Chen Youliang occupies the terrain advantage, and there are many soldiers and horses, we can send troops to use wheel warfare to consume his personnel and food." Admiral Hu Dahai of the Ming Dynasty said first.

As the admiral of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Dahai led the navy into the Yangtze River, on Chen Youliang's navy to carry out a dimensionality reduction strike, repeated battles, all of which won a complete victory, has been Chen Youliang's navy from hundreds of warships, to only a few dozen broken warships, fled to the west of Sichuan.

Therefore, in this Ming Dynasty's military campaign to the west, Hu Dahai's contribution can be said to be in the first place, and his words are naturally full of weight, and the wheel war can also give full play to the huge advantages of the Ming army's soldier quality and sufficient food.

"This method is good, but now we think we should be ruthless to Chen Youliang, what kind of wheel war, will he also have a chance to recuperate?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Everyone heard that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was not very satisfied with Hu Dahai's wheel plan, and immediately put forward his own suggestions to Emperor Daming.

"Your Majesty, I have a way to end the general, we can send the elite who have been listening to the whole army, go around to Chen Youliang's back from the mountains, and then launch a surprise attack while he is unprepared, as long as he cuts off the enemy's rear road and destroys their food and grass supply lines, the 50,000 troops under Chen Youliang will have to retreat if they don't want to destroy the whole army." As the commander of the infantry army of the Ming army's westward expedition, Zhang Dingbian immediately stepped forward and said.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, that's a good idea." Elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Zhang Dingbian, if this matter is handed over to you, can you have some confidence of winning?" ”

Hearing Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry, Zhang Dingbian said without hesitation:

"Your Majesty is willing to personally lead the troops and horses to launch a surprise attack behind Chen Youliang's back."

All of a sudden, everyone praised Zhang Dingbian's heroic and fearless behavior.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy, he stepped forward and patted Zhang Dingbian on the shoulder, and said: "Very good, no wonder Qiwu often tells me that as long as you fight against Chen Youliang, you must be given a chance, it seems that your courage is not inferior to Zhao Zilong, who was full of courage back then." ”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say that he was Zhao Zilong, Zhang Dingbian was immediately very happy, and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the last general will not disappoint Your Majesty and the King of England!" ”

Zhang Dingbian personally led 3,000 elites.

From outside the city of Anzhou, we began to detour along the mountain road and returned to the flank and rear of Chen Youliang's army.

At the same time, Chen Youliang's army was not very happy because it temporarily blocked the attack of the Ming army, and many soldiers were very absent-minded.

Even, many soldiers tried to escape to join the Ming army, and the reason made Chen Youliang very worried.

"Your Majesty, now the sergeants and soldiers of the army are spreading rumors, saying that the army is fighting local tyrants in Hubei to divide the land, and the poor people have been allocated a lot of land and fertile land, and many soldiers in the army have heard that their families have been allocated land and fertile land, and now they are all unwilling to fight, and even many guys secretly want to escape." Zou Pusheng, the prime minister of the Han Kingdom, said worriedly.

Emperor Chen Youliang of the Han Dynasty also had a sad face.

Not long ago, during the battle with the Ming army, a number of Ming soldiers were captured, all of whom were native to Hubei, and many of them were Chen Youliang's old subordinates.

From these people, it was learned that after the Ming army entered Hubei, they immediately fought the local tyrants and divided the land, and the soldiers of the Red Turban Army were basically from poor backgrounds, so they were naturally allocated a lot of land and lived a stable life with land and houses.

So...... Chen Youliang's soldiers can no longer settle down.

You must know that they joined the Red Turban Army just to kill the Tartars and live a good life.

Now, the Ming army is fighting local tyrants in Hubei and dividing the land, and everyone is living a good life, so what motivation do they have to continue to fight, it is better to put down their weapons and go back to their hometown to live a stable life.

Even, in Chen Youliang's army, there have been secret rumors that if the Ming army wins, the families in Hubei will lose the land they have just allocated, and if they lose, as long as they don't lose their lives, they can return to their hometown to farm and live in the future.

Chen Youliang relied on his military talent to temporarily stabilize the confrontation situation.

But the morale of the army has plummeted, but he can't be in a hurry.

"Humph! He Zhu Chongba can fight the local tyrants and divide the land, can't I? ”

Chen Youliang's heart suddenly moved.

Zou Pusheng, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty on the side, was also eye-catching, "Your Majesty means that you also want to learn the strategy of the Ming army?" ”

Chen Youliang nodded and said: "That's right, since the soldiers in the army all want fields, then divide them well, I heard that Zhu Chongba gave the people of Hubei fifteen acres of land each?" ”

Zou Pusheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is right, the thief wantonly invites people to buy people's hearts, everyone is fifteen acres of fertile land, regardless of men, women and children. ”

Chen Youliang stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "Zhu Chongba is too stingy, so it's okay, I will give the people of Huguang thirty acres of land each, which is twice as much as his Zhu Chongba!" ”

If Chen Youliang wants to counterattack Huguang, he must raise morale, and now he is painting a big pie anyway, so he simply paints a bigger one.

After Zou Pusheng heard this, he also nodded approvingly, "Your Majesty is right, in this way, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be greatly boosted!" ”

Subsequently, Chen Youliang discussed with Zou Pusheng how to use this matter to boost morale!

As a soldier of the Han Dynasty, the treatment is naturally higher, and the policy of 60 acres of fertile land per person is directly set.

As soon as this news came out, the originally low morale suddenly increased a lot.

Everyone in the Han army is looking forward to fighting back to Hubei and then living a good life.

However, the pie painted by Chen Youliang is not something that can fool everyone.

After some calculation, many knowledgeable soldiers immediately realized that something was wrong, and they were afraid that it would be enough to kill all the rich landlords in Hubei in this high-level land.

However, it is obviously impossible to kill all the rich landlords, but the fifteen acres of land of the Ming army are more reliable.

In the Han army, the discussion of 'fighting local tyrants and dividing the land' became more and more enthusiastic.

Although some people questioned whether it could be achieved, most of the soldiers were very happy.

At this time, a surprise attack interrupted the beautiful vision of the Han soldiers for 'fighting local tyrants and dividing the land'.

As night fell, in the mountains outside the camp of the Han army, Zhang Dingbian, the general of the Ming Dynasty, led 3,000 elites to be ready.

"General, the enemy's sentry in front has been eliminated by us!" A Ming soldier came up to report.

Zhang Dingbian nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand, "All change into Han military uniforms and approach quietly!" ”

With an order, more than 3,000 Ming soldiers immediately changed into the previously captured Han military uniforms.

Under the cover of night, Zhang Dingbian led three thousand elites to start a raid plan.

"What man, stop!"

With a shout, Chen Youliang's soldiers and horses found a team close to the big camp.

This army of soldiers and horses was wearing Han army costumes, and they looked like their own people, but the night was too dark to see the flag clearly, and they didn't know which soldiers and horses they were.

"Brother, we are here from Yuzhou to deliver the baggage!" Said one of the leading officers.

This person is Zhang Dingbian, who was about to approach the Han army camp, but he encountered a secret post of the Han army, so he could only deal with it patiently.

"Yuzhou?"

"What kind of baggage are you carrying?"

"What's the password?"

The Han army asked questions again and again, but obviously relaxed their vigilance and slowly approached.

"It's all salted fish and bacon from Yuzhou, which are used to labor the army!" Zhang Dingbian said with a smile.

Hearing that it was salted fish and bacon, the sentry of the Han army was immediately very happy, and after approaching, he just wanted to go to see the salted fish and bacon, but suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from behind him, and then fell to the ground with a pop.

"Set up the rocket, go and bury the gunpowder!"

Zhang Dingbian solved the guards with a knife and urged his subordinates again and again.

There must be more than one secret post of the Han army, and they must hurry up.

With a burst of preparation, the Ming soldiers led by Zhang Dingbian were immediately ready to break through the wall of the Han army's camp.

Rumble!

Boom!

With a few loud noises in the night, the gunpowder placed by the Ming army under the wall of the Han army camp made a shocking noise.

The camp wall of the Han army also turned into a pile of broken wood chips and clods of earth with a loud bang.

However, Zhang Dingbian did not rush to launch a surprise attack, but ordered another flying rocket to be launched.

Whoosh!

Boom!

Boom Boom!

There was another earth-shattering bang, but this time it was all in the Han camp.

The entire Han army camp was completely in chaos.

Seeing that the time had come, Zhang Dingbian immediately held a spear, stood up and waved his hand forward, and shouted to the soldiers beside him:

"Brothers, the military exploits of the marquis are ahead, follow me to grab it!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

With a shocking shout of killing, Chen Youliang's Han army immediately fell into a panic.

"Oh no, Your Majesty, the thieves are attacking!"

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Chen Youliang's Chinese military camp tent was also hit by a flying rocket, sending out raging flames, but Chen Youliang was patrolling the camp outside and escaped this catastrophe.

However, this fright still made Chen Youliang's face pale.

"All the torches are lit!"

With Zhang Dingbian's surprise attack, the Han army camp was panicked, and everyone was cautious in defense, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

However, all of this is also Zhang Dingbian's strategy to attack the west.

After a fierce fight, Zhang Dingbian led the soldiers to quickly withdraw from the battlefield and directly rushed to the Han army in the rear.

Tunliang City, which had no military support, was soon deceived by Zhang Dingbian to open the city gate, and then fell into a sea of fire.

Tens of thousands of Han soldiers' baggage grain and grass were burned clean!

At dawn the next day, Zhang Dingbian had already led his soldiers and horses to retreat, leaving only the scorched earth of the Tunliang City and tens of thousands of Han troops in turmoil.

In the face of the situation of no food and grass, no matter how powerful Chen Youliang's methods are, there is no way.

"Alas! It can only be a retreat! ”

Chen Youliang looked at the scorched earth all over the ground and said helplessly.

Zou Pusheng and others on the side were also helpless.

Everyone knows that if there is no food and grass, if you continue to fight, you will have no chance of winning with death.

However, once the troops are withdrawn now, the Ming army will definitely take the opportunity to approach, and the land of Yuzhou will never be able to be taken back.

"Your Majesty, do you want to hold on a little longer, and let Yuzhou and other places quickly prepare for the transportation of grain and grass?" One of the generals still persuaded without giving up.

Chen Youliang shook his head, "It's impossible, Zhu Yuanzhang won't give us a chance to wait for the grain and grass to arrive!" ”

Now once he withdraws from the army, of course Chen Youliang knows the consequences, but if he doesn't retreat, then there is really no way back.

"Retreating to Xichuan, and then taking advantage of the country of abundance to seize Guanzhong to the north, it is also Zhuge Liang's great plan in the world!" Prime Minister Zou Pusheng said.

Chen Youliang and others also knew that Zou Pusheng was comforting everyone's thoughts, and no one broke it.

The retreat of the Han army can be described as very simple and decisive, and when Zhang Dingbian led three thousand elites back to restore his life, he did not expect the Han army to retreat.

Zhang Dingbian's surprise attack burned all the grain and grass of the Han army, making the Ming army invincible in the next confrontation.

"Your Majesty, this is the duty of the last general!" Zhang Dingbian has made great contributions, but he is neither arrogant nor arrogant.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with great satisfaction, not to mention how much he loved Zhang Dingbian, the general that his younger brother Zhu Han excavated.

"It's just that although the enemy army has lost food and grass, the soldiers have not lost much, and Your Majesty should be careful that they jump over the wall in a hurry!" Zhang Dingbian continued.

Regarding Zhang Dingbian's suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, said: "Yes, herald! The whole army immediately strengthened its vigilance! ”

For the surprise victory, the Ming army was full of joy.

However, the Ming army was on guard for several days, only to see the Han army repeatedly sending troops to cruise, but the Han army did not see the Han army attacking.

After several times in a row, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately realized that something was not right.

He hurriedly sent troops and horses to test the attack, but he never expected it......

At this time, the Han army was already completely like goods, and there was not much resistance at all, and it was immediately defeated without a fight.

The Ming army easily captured the camp of the Han army, but it was already an empty city.

Looking at the empty Han army camp, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a very regretful expression.

"Alas! What a pity! ”

He glanced at Zhang Dingbian, Hu Dahai and other generals, and pointed to the Han army camp and said.

"If Qiwu is here, he will definitely not let Chen Youliang retreat so easily!"

When the generals heard this, they all showed expressions of deep approval!

"The King of England is resourceful and decisive, if he is here, Chen Youliang will die without a place to be buried!"

"yes!"

"That's right!"

。

。

。

Chen Youliang led the army to retreat.

It also means that with the protection of the Three Gorges, the Ming army naturally gave up the pursuit temporarily.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhang Dingbian to be the marshal of the Hubei marching army to guard Hubei and prevent Chen Youliang's counterattack.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he personally sat in Hanyang and commanded the Ming army to continue to pacify the Hunan area in the south.

Although there is no such powerful force as Chen Youliang in Hunan, there are many local Tusi and barbarians, especially in Xiangxi, which is full of bandits and bandits, and belongs to the key places that Zhu Han has focused on suppressing bandits.

"The thieves in Hunan, all of them are poor people who were oppressed by Meng Yuan, and now the Ming Dynasty is rising, I love the people like a son, for these people who have been forced astray, all of them are pardoned at one time, as long as they go down the mountain to report to the government within three months, they can all be pardoned, and get 20 acres of Yongye land per person!"

"This edict of mine is only issued this once, and three months later, there will be robbers who will destroy all the mountains and caves, so that these stubborn people have nowhere to hide!"

Brother Zhu Yuanzhang's "Edict to the People of Hunan", although it is full of vernacular, but the effect is remarkable!

In less than two months, the bandits who have been harmed by Hunan for decades are immediately less than half, and some of the remaining diehards are not the opponents of the Ming elite at all, and it took more than a month for the squires and scholars from all over Hunan to help the Ming army eliminate the remnants of the bandits.

The whole of Hunan is a peaceful scene!

Officials everywhere are also keeping their duties, and they have turned from the original province of great chaos into a good place that does not close their doors at night.

Because of the great governance of Hunan, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty ordered that Hunan be exempted from land taxes for two years, so that the people could recuperate and resume production.

In particular, a large amount of low-cost salt was transferred from Jiangnan, which greatly alleviated Hunan's lack of salt for many years.

The entire Hunan Province immediately embraced the emerging Ming Dynasty!

Chen Youliang, who retreated to Yuzhou, immediately couldn't help but sigh when he heard that Hunan was so easily pacified by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Huguang and Guangxi provinces, I'm afraid it's no longer mine!"

After learning that his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang had pacified Huguang, Zhu Han immediately sent someone to send a large amount of military rations to Huguang.

This batch of military rations is not ordinary grain and grass, but canned military rations newly invented by Ying Tianfu.

"Your Highness, this batch of new-style military rations can make the vast army of Huzhou eat for a month!"

Da Ming Ying Tiantai learned the mountain chief Wanhu Tao Guangyi said to Zhu Han.

This batch of canned military rations is all made of tinplate, and the technical points are all completed by Wanhu's disciples under his leadership.

"Wanhu, you have made another great contribution!"

"With such a batch of military rations, even in a hot and humid place like Huguang, you can store a large amount of grain and grass, and you are not afraid of shortages!"

Zhu Han did not hesitate to praise Wanhu.

Although Zhu Han is the key guide, he does not take credit, with his current status, he does not need more credit, he only needs to stimulate the enthusiasm of Wanhu and other Ming technology maniacs, and he can achieve rapid self-development.

The land of China has always been a treasure land with abundant materials!

However, there have been many natural and man-made disasters in history.

One of the important reasons is that because the territory of China is too large, when there is a bumper harvest in one place, there is a famine in another place, but it cannot support grain and grass relief in time.

After Zhu Han invented the tinplate canning technology, he could store canned food on a large scale in a bumper year, after all, the shelf life of this thing is as long as several years, and it can even have a perverted storage method for decades, so there is no need to worry about the shortage of food during famine.

Moreover, with a large number of tinplate canning technology, it also saves the large-scale loss of transporting grain and grass across thousands of miles, according to the transportation capacity of ancient communication lines, the transfer of grain and grass for a thousand miles often loses half of the number on the road.

"The great merit of benefiting the country and the people is actually the merit of His Royal Highness, and the officials dare not be greedy for merit!" Wan Hu immediately humbly said.

Zhu Han smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I just put forward an idea, and the people who really put it into practice are not still ten thousand households!" ”

"That is also the originality of His Highness, and the lower officials will never dare to be greedy for merit!" Wanhu said very seriously.

"Haha, this matter is already your credit, and you can't push it off if you want to." Zhu Han said with a smile.

How could he possibly take such credit from his own men.

Wan Hu looked puzzled, and asked Zhu Han suspiciously: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhu Han took out a thick piece of fine paper from his arms, on which a string of words was densely written, and it was also stamped with the large seals of the three divisions of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Households.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

Wanhu was immediately suppressed by the three seals of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Households.

Good boy! What the hell is this, it turns out to be the United Great Seal of the Three Divisions?

Zhu Han pointed with his hand, "This is a patent certificate, and it is also the first patent certificate of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Your Highness, what is a patent certificate?" Wanhu Tao Guangyi has entered another knowledge blind spot.

Subsequently, Zhu Han explained to Wanhu what a patent certificate is.

In particular, the patent fees in it have been enjoyed for 50 years, which makes the whole family stupid.

"Your Highness, this, this, don't dare to joke!" Wanhu was almost about to cry in a hurry.

He understood that as soon as this patent power was in hand, from now on, as long as people in the world bought a soft iron can, it was to pay him a penny.

Even the Ming court wanted to buy these canned foods, which was equivalent to sending him money.

With such a huge wealth, ten thousand households feel terrible when they think about it!

Wealth moves people's hearts, and who knows if it will bring disaster to themselves.

"Haha, you don't have to worry, I know what you're thinking, this patent right is shared by you and this king, that is, we do this business together." Zhu Han said with a smile.

What Wan Hu was worried about, Zhu Han was naturally clear.

However, Zhu Han wants to share the huge profits of this patent right with Wanhu.

Because, only the huge interest stimulation can make the people of Daming understand that invention and creation are money, future and honor!

Only in this way can the people of Daming give full play to their great wisdom!

The so-called 'golden city bones' is also this truth.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

In the end, Wanhu also understood Zhu Han's intentions and happily agreed.

"Oh, by the way, in the future, the canned food of the Ming Dynasty, the iron sheets used, are all called Wanhu iron!"

Zhu Han finally said, after all, there is a historical reason for the name tinplate, and now it naturally can no longer be called tinplate.

It is simply named after 10,000 households.

"Ten Thousand Households?" Wanhu Tao Guangyi suddenly felt flattered.

As soon as this name comes out, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will know his Wanhu Tao Guangyi.

"That's right, it's Wanhu Iron! Moreover, this kind of canned food will be called Wanhu canned food in the future! ”

"I want everyone in the world to know that ten thousand households use their own wisdom to learn and save the people of the world from famine, and these ten thousand households can earn the money they deserve!"

As soon as Zhu Han's words were finished, not only Wan Hu was stunned, but everyone accompanying him was also stunned.

They were all shocked by Zhu Han's big deal.

Since ancient times, under the education of Confucianism, people all over the world feel that they can't talk about money, and whoever talks about money openly is very inferior.

However, Zhu Han just put money on his lips, so that everyone in the world could see it, and he was no longer ashamed of talking about money.

"A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in the right way! We should earn this money, what are we afraid of! ”

"Moreover, in the future, whoever wants to make money can invent and create by himself and apply for patents by himself!"

"Whoever creates the well-being of the people of the Ming Dynasty will be protected by the Ming government!"

"The patent rights of the people of the Ming Dynasty are protected by the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!"

Today's Ming Dynasty, although it is a new establishment, but Zhu Han has full confidence that in a very short period of time, the industry, agriculture and commerce of the Ming Dynasty will flourish!

If you want to encourage industry and commerce, you must encourage the invention and creation of new technologies!

The protection of patent rights is naturally imperative!

"His Royal Highness's foresight is really a blessing for the Ming Society!"

"The blessings of the world!"

Wan Hu led a group of officials, and immediately looked at Zhu Han with respectful words.

。

。

。

The batch of 10,000 canned food produced by Zhu Han for the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers had just been shipped to Huguang, which immediately made the Ming soldiers fall into a frenzy.

This batch of 10,000 canned food is all made of pork and sea fish from the south of the Yangtze River, which is a rare meat and fish.

Moreover, in order to ensure the quality of food and increase the preservative effect, the salt in these cans is added a lot!

Even, after Zhu Han tasted it, he felt that his tongue was pickled.

However, these salty and thick canned food are very popular delicacies in the Huguang area, which lacks salt!

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can easily exchange a pound of fresh pork in the hands of the people of Huguang with a can of 10,000 canned food!

Moreover, both sides feel like they are making a lot of money.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty ate fresh meat, and the local people used these cans to obtain precious salt, after all, these 10,000 canned food are tightly packaged, easy to carry, and the price is cheaper than selling salt to buy meat!

So, it's just a month or two!

The first batch of military cans delivered to Huguang was consumed by the soldiers, showing a strong popularity!

"Qiwu, this kid, the things he made are so delicious, the soldiers not only ate them up quickly, but they even sold them well!"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the soldiers quickly consumed ten thousand cans, and he immediately felt speechless.

These 10,000 households of canned food were originally intended to be carried by the soldiers as emergency military rations.

Now it's good, the first thing the Ming soldiers ate was these 10,000 canned food.

The elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang immediately wrote to Zhu Han, explaining the popularity of Huguang canned food, and wanted Zhu Han to make these 10,000 canned food unpalatable to prevent the soldiers from consuming it too quickly.

Who knows, after Zhu Han received his brother's letter, he immediately replied to him in his own way.

"10,000 canned food, enough tubes!"

There was only one short sentence in the letter, which made the elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang even more speechless.

Of course, not only this letter, but also a large number of 10,000 canned food were transported to Huguang together.

This batch has a larger number of canned food, and there are more flower samples.

There are not only canned bacon and fish that were loved by the soldiers before, but also a large number of canned soybeans, canned peaches, canned hawthorn and so on.

Because there are too many tricks, even Hu Weiyong, who supports military supplies, doesn't know these novelties.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what to do with so much canned military ration?! Is it tun in the warehouse? Or is it issued to soldiers? Hu Weiyong cautiously asked Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

If it was before, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely have to hoard them to prevent the soldiers from eating them in one go.

However, it's different now, Zhu Han has already said that it's enough, then let go of the restraints, let the soldiers eat well, and wait until they vomit, then don't worry about the emergency military rations being eaten in advance in the future.

"Seventy-five said, no matter how much, it is enough, and it will be sent to the soldiers!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a wave of his hand.

Soon, the Ming officers and soldiers in Huguang began to eat enough of these 10,000 canned food.

In addition to some canned meat and fish, the largest number of canned soybeans, canned taro, canned potatoes and other things soon became extremely hated food by the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

However, it was these cheap cans that were the largest supply in the Ming army, which made the soldiers feel even more headaches.

Many unpopular staple food canned food, disliked by the Ming soldiers like swill, of course, this is not the Ming soldiers nonsense, Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang after eating a few meals of staple food canned, but also immediately recalled the experience of walking the streets and alleys to ask for food.

There is no way, this kind of staple food canned food has a huge problem of unpalatable, especially the lack of many spices in the Ming Dynasty today, for the staple food canned food, you can only add more salt, which makes the food unpalatable and salty.

The modern armies in history, whether it is Britain and France, or Germany, the United States and Russia, their staple food canned food is also notoriously unpalatable, which belongs to the unsolvable problem of canned food.

Imagine what it must taste like to have lamb steamed buns soaked in a jar for two months!

Many of the staple food cans were quickly taken out by the Ming soldiers to exchange for other fresh food or sell it.

After all, although these staple cans are unpalatable, after all, there is plenty of salt and oil, and for the poor, it is already an improvement in food!

As a result, many canned staple foods can be found everywhere in Huguang.

Some of the spies planted by Chen Youliang sent these '10,000 canned food' to Chen Youliang's army in Xichuan.

......

Sichuan, Chengdu.

Not long ago, Chen Youliang led his Han army to defeat the remnants of the local Yuan army with unstoppable momentum, and easily captured all the territory of Sichuan.

After more than a thousand years, another Han Empire appeared in Chengdu.

Not long after Chen Youliang led the army to pacify Sichuan, he got this batch of '10,000 canned food' sent by Huguang secret agents.

After hearing about the origin of Huguang's batch of '10,000 canned food', Chen Youliang suddenly fell into deep thought.

In particular, when Chen Youliang tried to eat tens of thousands of canned food, he felt a deep despair!

"Alas!"

"Such a delicious thing, the soldiers under Zhu Chongba, have they already eaten enough?"

"How full of supplies do the Ming army have to be, and even these 10,000 canned households are already enough?"

"With such a thick supply of the Ming army, wouldn't it be possible to quickly accumulate sufficient supplies to attack Sichuan?"

Chen Youliang's worries are absolutely terrifying to everyone.

"Your Majesty, although the Ming army has plenty of food and grass, we now occupy the country of Sichuan Tianfu, as long as we recuperate a little, we will definitely be able to defend ourselves!" Prime Minister Zou Pusheng hurriedly said.

Immediately afterwards, Zou Pusheng made a suggestion to Chen Youliang to recuperate here in Sichuan, lightly dispose of the meager endowment, use the powerful productive forces of the country of abundance to recuperate, reserve grain and grass, and prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from attacking him.

Regarding Zou Pusheng's suggestion, Chen Youliang immediately adopted it.

"What the prime minister said makes sense, this matter will be handed over to the prime minister, don't forget what we said before."

"The eight brothers of Zhu Chong can fight local tyrants and divide the land in Huguang and Jiangnan, so we naturally can't lag behind him in Sichuan, and we also have to fight local tyrants and divide the land in Sichuan."

"Don't be soft on those local tyrants and inferior gentry!"

The local tyrants here in Sichuan, for them, the Red Turban Army in Huguang, are all outsiders, and the Red Turban Army soldiers in Hubei have little sympathy for the landlords in Sichuan.

Chen Youliang planned to kill all the landlords in Sichuan, grab their land into his own hands, and then distribute it to his soldiers.

However, Zou Pusheng felt that this suggestion was a little too radical.

Zou Pusheng immediately said to Chen Youliang, "Your Majesty, there are still a lot of literati in Sichuan who can be used, and if you kill all these landlords, it will be tantamount to offending all the Sichuan gentry." We can first adopt the method of differentiation and disintegration, and then fight the local tyrants to divide the land. ”

When Chen Youliang heard Zou Pusheng's words, he immediately asked, "Prime Minister, but is there any way to divide and disintegrate them?" ”

Zou Pusheng said, "Your Majesty, we can first open a branch to get scholars, as long as they can come to us as officials, then we can give them some tax-free privileges and let them keep their land." If these people come to us, then we will be able to give them the land, and we can confiscate the land of those landlords who refuse to cooperate. ”

"Of course, not all land has to be confiscated, and many lands, we can learn from Zhu Chongba and use their strategies to redeem these lands. this

In the same way, some overly radical resistance can also be avoided. Hearing Zou Pusheng's words. Chen Youliang immediately felt that this was a very good idea.

Chen Youliang smiled, nodded silently, and said:

"Prime Minister, if we open a branch in Sichuan now, how many people do you think we should take?"

Hearing Chen Youliang's words, Zou Pusheng shook his head, "Your Majesty, we are just trying to win over the local squires and landlords in Sichuan, but many landlords may not have the talent to be admitted to our Jinshi or something, in that way, a group of poor and sour literati will be selected to be our officials, and the poor and sour literati will be exempted from taxes and taxes, which is of little use to us to gain a firm foothold in Sichuan." ”

It turns out that Zou Pusheng's plan is not to really select talents.

Rather, it is to give those Sichuan landlords and gentry who are willing to cooperate a space for cooperation through this method of opening up science and technology.

As long as these people can come and work for Chen Youliang as an official, let them keep their land.

If they refuse to cooperate, then kill them all, rob them of their wealth, and others will not be able to say anything.

Hearing Zou Pusheng's words, Chen Youliang was immediately very happy.

As long as this method is implemented, many large landlords and gentry in Sichuan will definitely become a powerful help for Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang said with a smile, "The prime minister is really a good strategy, then I decided to implement the probation system in Sichuan, what does the prime minister think?" ”

Zou Pusheng nodded with a smile and said, "Your Majesty is really familiar with history books and knows the past and the present. ”

The so-called probation system is actually a system of recommending officials to each other.

For the Qin and Han dynasties in ancient times, it was a relatively advanced system for the selection of officials.

But for the Yuan and Ming dynasties, which had been in practice for thousands of years, this was definitely a regression in the system.

Today's Chen Youliang doesn't have so many ideas to carry out the real imperial examination, which is just a means to win over the big landowners in Sichuan.

Therefore, it doesn't matter at all what kind of talent is not talented.

In fact, he himself looked down on those literati who read the Four Books and the Five Classics.
