Chapter 219: Chen Youliang's New Country Name (Long Live the Ancestors)
This army was invincible, invincible, invincible, and conquered countless territories, so that those Mongol Tatars were all terrified, and they had long had the ambition to get the whole world to replace the Yuan Dynasty.
When he settled on Wuchang to stabilize his territory, he decided to go out of the nest and destroy the White Lotus Sect and then destroy the entire White Lotus Sect.
With this plan in mind, Chen Youliang decided to personally lead the naval army he had taken over from Xu Shouhui to take Poyang Lake in one fell swoop, cutting off the White Lotus Cult Army's transportation in order to block the White Lotus Cult Army's dock and cutting off the supply of resources, so that it would be easy to eliminate the White Lotus Sect Army.
At this time, he was wearing a dragon robe and a crown, sitting in the cabin of the large ship under his command, looking very imposing, and discussing with his men about changing the name of the country.
I saw him imitate the tone of the emperor's speech and say to his ministers: "In the past few months, my Tianwan Kingdom has finally stabilized its country after repeated battles, but it still has not conquered the entire world, but I firmly believe that it is no longer a problem to destroy the White Lotus Sect with our current strength." However, before the White Lotus Sect is eliminated, I want to change the name of the country, and I don't know what your opinions are. ”
Because when he was the emperor in Jiangzhou, he had long been accustomed to the style of being an emperor, so that now he has become accustomed to speaking.
At this moment, one of his generals named Zhao Pusheng responded: "The emperor is now the king of a country, and of course the change of the country name should follow the emperor's wishes." ”
Zhang Dingbian also said at this time: "Your Majesty, Weichen also thinks that the name of Tianwan is a bit unlucky, and it should indeed be changed to a more appropriate one." ”
"Oh, yes? What do you think is better?"
"Back to the emperor, Weichen hasn't thought about it yet, so let's ask the emperor to decide!"
So Chen Youliang thought about it again and again in his mind, and finally remembered a country name.
"Since ancient times, the Han Dynasty is the most powerful dynasty in China, since the creation of the Han Gaozu Liu Bang, the kings of the past dynasties have worked hard to govern the country and create a great prosperous era of our Han nation, and in the hands of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is to make our Han nation have a high prestige in the hearts of foreign people, the reason why our Han people are named is because of this dynasty, so my country name is also called the Han Dynasty, what do you think?"
After listening to Chen Youliang's opinion, all the ministers under him expressed their approval.
"The emperor is wise, the emperor is wise. ”
"Since all Aiqing's opinions are the same as mine, then from now on, my dynasty will be renamed the Han Dynasty!"
After making this decision, Chen Youliang ordered his men to remove the flags with the old national name "Tianwan" written on all warships and replace them with the "Han" flag.
Ten days later, Chen Youliang's fleet finally approached Poyang Lake, but he was not in a hurry to start a war with Zhu Yuanzhang's navy, but decided to rest for a while, because the crew of his fleet encountered a big problem in the bumpy life on the ship for more than ten days.
"Your Majesty, due to the non-stop jolting of the crew on the ship these days, many crew members who are not familiar with the nature of the water have begun to suffer from seasickness and vomiting. ”
The person who spoke was Zhang Dingbian, and he was in the cabin at this time to report the situation to Chen Youliang.
"What did you say?"
After learning the news, Chen Youliang immediately walked out of the cabin, and saw that some soldiers in armor on the warship who were not accustomed to water were vomiting, and they no longer had any combat effectiveness, which made him feel very anxious in his heart, so he said: "Seeing that I have arrived at Poyang Lake and are about to fight with Zhu Yuanzhang's army, how can I do it that there are so many people who are seasick now!"
Just when he was anxious, Shangguan Yu, who was standing beside him, gave him an idea.
"Don't worry, the emperor, Weichen has an idea. ”
Since Chen Youliang had already been proclaimed emperor, Shangguan Yu was also made an official and became the great Sima of Chen Han.
"What's the idea? Tell me about it. ”
"I think that during the Battle of Chibi, most of the officers and soldiers on Cao Cao's ship were northerners, and there was also vomiting and seasickness on the ship, and then Cao Cao followed Pang Tong's suggestion to connect the first place of the ship with an iron chain, and the problem of seasickness and vomiting of the crew was solved, and we may also try. ”
After listening to this suggestion, Chen Youliang immediately felt very good, and he soon adopted Shangguan Yu's suggestion.
I saw that he was excitedly saying: "Wonderful! Wonderful! This plan is very satisfying, so let's follow Shangguan Aiqing's suggestion!"
Facing Chen Youliang's army of 600,000 troops, Zhu Yuanzhang did not seem to have the certainty of winning this war.
He locked himself in his room all day and all night and closed the door, fear almost occupied his heart at the moment, at this time he was hiding in his bedroom and chatting with Liu Bowen.
"Master Liu, Chen Youliang's army will soon attack us, in your opinion, do we have any certainty of victory? His army claims to be 600,000, and our righteous army can only fight 300,000, their warships are all so strong and tall, and our ships that can fight are some borrowed fishing boats, I don't think we have much chance of winning at all, it is better to surrender directly to Chen Youliang. ”
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal, Liu Bowen categorically refused: "Surrender? This is absolutely impossible, how can our White Lotus Sect's righteous army be iron-clad men to surrender to such a capricious villain as Chen Youliang, if you want to surrender, our sect leader will punish you, and then your throne of His Royal Highness King Wu will be gone, let alone covet the position of sect leader in the future." ”
Liu Bowen's words made Zhu Yuanzhang very excited at this time, so he said: "What time is it now, how can I still take care of the position of the sect leader, as soon as Chen Youliang's army arrives, I will have nothing, Liu Junshi! You still think of a way to deal with Chen Youliang for me!"
"Okay, okay, His Royal Highness King Wu, please rest assured, I will definitely be able to figure out a way to deal with Chen Youliang. ”
And Zhu Yuanzhang's situation made Chang Yuchun feel quite anxious, as a military general, he was not afraid of Chen Youliang's 600,000 army, just because the war had not yet started, the lord was already hiding in the bedroom and was afraid of becoming like this, is this unclear that he is admitting defeat to Chen Youliang?
The soldiers who surrendered without a fight, such an ending made Chang Yuchun more or less unwilling.
After Zhu Yuanzhang's other subordinates persuaded him many times to no avail, Chang Yuchun finally began to be unbearable.
He was very angry and broke into the gate of Zhu Yuanzhang's house and scolded: "Zhu Yuanzhang, you shrunken turtle get out of here!"
His scolding made Xu Da, Liu Bowen, Tang and them tremble, they were worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would kill him because he was angry, so they all ran over to stop Chang Yuchun.
"General Chang, you don't want to die, even the marshal dares to scold. ”
I only heard Tang He say this, but Chang Yuchun still scolded angrily: "I, Chang Yuchun, have long put life and death out of the way, what kind of handsome man is he, even Chen Youliang's 600,000 army can scare him like this." ”
At this time, Xu Da hurriedly covered Chang Yuchun's mouth with his hand and said, "Brother, listen to the advice of the eldest brother, the handsome man can't scold, be careful that your head falls to the ground." ”
But Chang Yuchun couldn't listen to anything Xu Da said at all, he pushed Xu Da away and yelled at him: "You get out of here." ”
Then he continued to scold Zhu Yuanzhang angrily: "Zhu Yuanzhang, you bastard, coward, coward, even if I Chang Yuchun was blind at the beginning, I followed you such a wreck;
"General Chang, stop talking, you are not allowed to be rude to the commander!"
Liu Bowen persuaded on the side, but no matter how others persuaded him, Chang Yuchun could never change his quick temper, but he couldn't control his impulsive personality.
"He is a coward, not worthy of being my Chang Yuchun's marshal, Chen Youliang's 600,000 army is nothing, I Chang Yuchun led an army of 100,000 to beat him to the ground, rampant in the world. ”
