, the first minister of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang was in a hurry to cross the river, and the navy also prepared a big boat for him. Just when Lao Zhu was about to board the boat, it was surprising that Ma Shi came again.

Old Zhu is really angry, what's wrong with this mother-in-law?

All the fun is okay, this is crossing the river, not playing, not to mention that your stomach is getting bigger every day, so you can't rest, let us save some snacks?

Old Zhu was pondering how to properly express his anger, but his wrist was caught by Ma Shi. "Jackie Chan, let me and my child accompany you here! Let's help each other as a family, regardless of each other!"

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, after all, he didn't say a word of blame, he just roared at his subordinates, and quickly prepared more cushions. He personally supported Ma Shi and boarded the boat.

Lao Zhu waited closely, and the couple held each other's wrists, so they raised their sails and crossed the Yangtze River. The boat docked in Lugang Town.

On the shore, Zhang Ximeng led a group of civil and military personnel to congratulate Zhu Yuanzhang on his visit to the loyal Jiangnan.

The two parties successfully joined forces!

Lao Zhu got off the boat and called Zhang Ximeng over before doing anything.

"Is there a good house?" Remember the URL m.xbequge. com

"have!"

"Are there any good midwives?"

Zhang Ximeng was taken aback and counted, darling, wouldn't it be Zhu Biao's birth?

"My lord, you are..."

"It's nothing, it's just that Madam insists on staying with us, saying that this time we are in harmony with each other, which is unusual... You know, she will give birth in a month and a half, and when we arrive in Jiangnan, we are afraid that there is no suitable place. live."

Zhang Ximeng finally understood what was going on, and it turned out to be a little sour, and one of them worked together. No wonder Queen Ma could eat Lao Zhu to death.

High!

"Don't worry, my lord, there is no other place in Jiangnan, and there is no shortage of good accommodation. The rich businessman Chen Di has a manor here, the scenery is good, and the living is comfortable. I will arrange a few doctors and midwives at any time. By the way, I also need to prepare some nourishing top grades for my wife, and this is the first child, so be careful and be careful..."

Zhu Yuanzhang is the one who likes to cut down the most. When he was in the army, he ate the same food as the soldiers. When he sleeps, he can have a piece of wood. .

The only thing I do is to treat my wife, no matter how much I invest, I don't frown.

"Sir, this is going to trouble you again."

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "My lord is polite, but don't forget, my wife is also a life-saver for me, I'm afraid it is more than three points than the lord!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "Okay, then we can rest assured."

After setting up the Ma family first, Lao Zhu summoned these civil and military officials in Jiangnan.

"Mr. Zhang, this is all your credit. Tell us which heroes they are, and let us get to know them well."

With a smile on his face, Zhang Ximeng invited Yu Tingyu over first.

"My lord, this is Old Yu Yu Tingyu of Chaohu Laoshanzhai, but he was the first to advocate surrendering to the lord."

Yu Tingyu hurriedly hurried, knelt down on one knee, "I see the superior!"

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly pulled up Yu Tingyu and said with a smile, "We've heard about the prestige of Chaohu Naval Master for a long time. It seems that we have just won another battle. What's going on? Tell us quickly."

Yu Tingyu nodded and said briefly, and Zhang Ximeng added along beside him... It's really a coincidence to say this, didn't I mentioned earlier that Tu Jian let the barbarian Hague lead the giant building ship upstream to aid Chizhou?

But the problem is that Chizhou fell into the hands of Zhu Jiajun long ago, and Yuan Jun was deceived.

After the barbarian Hague arrived in Chizhou, he wanted to land, but was blocked by the military and civilians of Chizhou.

Now he also knew that something was wrong, so he could only order to return to the teacher.

But there is a saying that the fisherman will never go empty. Come, come, how to make some money!

Needless to say, the virtues of the Yuan army were originally intended to take advantage of the opportunity to aid Chizhou to make a fortune, but in the end, not only did they not take advantage, but they also suffered losses.

These guys are not willing to run for nothing, and they are all about money. At this time, the barbarian Hague can't stop it. Otherwise, there may be a scene where the coach falls into the water and the salvage is not timely...

The Yuan army landed, and in Anqing and other places, they looted wantonly, and the people were miserable.

Dozens of fishermen in anger avoided the Yuanjun building boats and found Zhu's army. They begged again and again, they are willing to help, provide the movement of the Yuan army, and only ask the Zhu family army to eliminate the harm for the people.

Facing the kindness of the people, Zhang Ximeng also hesitated a little, and he was not sure how many chances he had.

But Yu Tonghai found him.

Several Yuan army building ships were captured at Ruxukou in the front, and all of them were repaired, and some changes were also made, that is, the stone bullets that were powerful in Hezhou were brought on board.

After experiments, the stone bombs loaded with explosives can not only explode, killing the soldiers on the deck, but also cause a fire and burn the wooden warships.

"Captain, before Yuan Tartar doesn't know we have this, take decisive action and give him a vote! Even if you can't win a big victory, you can scare them away!"

Zhang Ximeng agreed to the plan after weighing it again and again, but he was not sure about it.

The reason is very simple, Yuan Jun's giant ship is too terrifying.

It is completely an aircraft carrier of this era, and it is also equipped with a huge pole. In the mouth of Ruxu, Zhang Ximeng saw the Chaohu Navy ship shattered to pieces.

Yu Tonghai wanted to fight, but he also wanted revenge. Zhang Ximeng didn't want to overly suppress the navy's fighting spirit. But Zhang Ximeng came up with his own ideas.

Just give up the stone bombs, use the gunpowder packs completely, and add some kerosene bombs. If it works, it's best to set the ship on fire. If it doesn't work, then withdraw as soon as possible and find a way.

Yu Tonghai naturally agreed, he hurriedly modified the gunpowder kit, and after confirming that it was really easy to use, the navy dispatched.

Relying on the guidance of Anqing fishermen, they successfully touched the water village of the Yuan Army.

Superstitious people say that God bless Zhu Yuanzhang, and those who really understand the truth can only say that Yuan Jun himself killed himself.

They condoned the looting of the sailors, but the Yuan army after the plundering did not board the ship, but continued to rejoice on land, even if the barbarian Hague urged it, it would not work.

As a result, when the navy touched, there was not even one fifth of the people on board, so they could only be beaten passively.

A huge building ship, parked on the river, reflected by the moonlight, it is very clear, it is no different from a living target!

"Dog Tartar, if you are courting death, don't let me go!"

Yu Tingyu, Yu Tonghai, Yu Tongyuan, their father, son and brother ordered the ships with trebuchets to line up and threw gunpowder packets frantically at the Yuan army.

Others may not work, but Zhang Ximeng at least knows the formula of gunpowder. These gunpowder packets fell on the deck, and after they exploded, it really caused a fire.

This made the Yu family father and son extremely excited, and sure enough!

When you were stubborn, you used the boat to bully us, and now it's time for revenge.

The sailors approached the Yuan army recklessly, and threw gunpowder packets within a range of less than ten meters, which was simply a face-to-face output.

Not only gunpowder, but also kerosene.

These things fell on the wooden boat, no matter how big the building boat was, it was the accumulation of flammable materials.

Ships kept on fire, and the flames soared, illuminating half of the river red.

The barbarian Hague noticed it, and finally did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly ordered to avoid it.

The boats that were not affected, set sail quickly, get out of the fire, and send the boats of the red thieves to the river to feed the fish.

The barbarian Hague's order is very reasonable. If Yu Tonghai or Liao Yongan were replaced, they would do the same.

But the problem is still the Yuan army, which is an extremely rotten and rotten army... In the face of the fire, many Yuan army simply ran away.

Even if the others boarded the boat, they drove the boats everywhere due to panic, and the good port water village turned out to be a confrontation scene.

Some flimsy ships were directly damaged.

But this is not a big problem, after all, it can be fixed.

But don't forget, there are still some ships with flames! This is what kills.

Like a plague, the fire on one ship expanded to two, and two to four... More and more ships caught fire, and the soldiers didn't dare to stay, and they all jumped into the river to survive, which sounded no different from dumplings.

But the father and son of the Yu family were so happy that they finally got their revenge!

Although the navy is a big ship and a small ship, the role of technology cannot be ignored.

Even the navy is a military that cares more about technology.

Just changing from stone bullets to gunpowder brought a completely different effect.

It's just that technological progress is not so easy. On the Yu family's side, there are five warships. Due to improper operation, the gunpowder was ignited in advance and their own ships were ignited.

Fortunately, Zhang Ximeng suggested the use of incendiary gunpowder instead of stone bombs, otherwise, once it exploded, he would suffer heavy casualties.

But even so, more than a dozen sailors were swallowed by the flames, burned to death, and lost their lives.

The Chaohu navy was indeed brave, and the soldiers did not flee when they saw the ship catch fire.

It was not until the other side was set on fire that the sailors jumped down calmly.

Up to now, Yu Tingyu was not polite, and he released twenty small fireboats that had been prepared for a long time.

Originally, this was what Yu Tingyu planned to use desperately, but now he can set fire calmly, which is really uncomfortable.

As far as he could see, all the ships were on fire, and Yu Tingyu left with confidence.

In this battle, the Yuan army burned hundreds of large warships and lost more than 2,000 sailors... They had no obvious advantage on the Yangtze River.

"Sure enough, the generals will run amok from now on, it's all up to you." Zhu Yuanzhang immediately announced that he recognized the commander of the navy's left and right battalions appointed by Zhang Ximeng, and said that he would only wait for Jinling to be won, and there would be other rewards.

After the Yu family, there are the Liao brothers, Zhang Ximeng introduced their contribution in the siege of Nahachu, and then Zhang Desheng... He received a strong introduction from Zhang Ximeng. With less than 2,000 soldiers and horses, he lost nearly half of the price. , for the Zhu Family Army to win the opportunity to annihilate 10,000 cavalry households. After this battle, Zhang Desheng suffered eleven injuries!

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang today, his face was still pale and very weak.

Lao Zhu didn't have anything to give, so he took off his saber and handed it to Zhang Desheng with both hands.

"Thank you for the favor of the superiors, and the humble jobs are dreadful!"

After talking about Zhang Desheng, it is Chang Yuchun. He won Tongling's first ascent and broke Naha's charge into the battle, all of which gave him sufficient capital and rewards.

But facing Lao Zhu, Chang Yuchun had no reason to be discouraged, for fear of bad luck.

However, Lao Zhu was in a good mood today. He even encouraged Chang Yuchun to say a few words, and promised to restore his official position and serve as a thousand households. He would be promoted after he had military exploits.

Chang Yuchun breathed a sigh of relief, and finally made no mistake.

After these generals met, it was Wenchen's turn.

Zhu Sheng, Tao An, Li Xi, several people bowed and saluted together to meet the superior.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at them and said with a smile: "Several gentlemen are famous scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. What should we do next, please enlighten me?"

After a pause~www.mtlnovel.com~ Tao An immediately said: "The capital of Jinling emperors, the tiger is on the dragon plate, and there is a natural danger in the Yangtze River, the superior should take it as soon as possible!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "After entering Jinling, can you be called emperor? Can you be called king?"

Tao An was suddenly speechless, he never thought about it.

At this time, Zhu Sheng calmly said: "To conquer the world, build walls high, store grain widely, and become king slowly! Build walls high, and the foundation will be consolidated. Then you can avoid the Quartet attacking it. After the superior enters Jinling, you can just call him a marshal."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "What Mr. said is as if it came out of our hearts!"

Zhang Ximeng breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart and said with a smile: "My lord, Mr. Fenglin is a great talent in the world. With his advice, I don't have to rush the ducks to the shelves!"
