Chapter 361 Development

The victory came so easily that Zhang Yang felt almost unbelievable.

Although he has Tianque, scattered cannons and God of War cannons, after all, the other party is Ming Taizu and has the domineering power of the world. He is expected that even if he breaks through the city, there will be a bloody battle in the city.

Even in modern times, with the help of various weapons, street battles are definitely a battle with heavy casualties.

But now, he hasn't worked very hard. He relied on Xie Zaixing's 10,000 people to take the lead and rely on his own cannon to open the city wall. In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang abandoned the city and fled?

Ying Tianfu, but Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard to fight down, so he was so willing to let himself occupy it?

However, he has stepped on the solid land of Yingtian Mansion under his feet. Behind him is the government office of Yingtian Mansion, which is definitely not a dream.

Zhu Yuanzhang has escaped, but he just didn't catch him.

The two armies he sent did not have the courage to counterattack Ying Tianfu, and had also quietly returned to the North Bank and Chuzhou.

Here, it is already his world.

Zhang Yang didn't know that there would be many miracles in the battle. For example, the tile that hit Zhu Yuanzhang's head made Zhu Yuanzhang lose his memory.

"Brother, Dashi Timur is here." The guards report.

Is Dazhi Timur here? What is he doing here? If it had been two months ago, Zhang Yang would have ordered him to be cut off without hesitation, but not now. They have become neighbors and officials in the same dynasty. They should be "friendly" with each other.

"Let him in." Zhang Yang said.

"Lord Zhang, congratulations, congratulations!" As soon as he entered the door, he clenched his fist and congratulated Zhang Yang.

"Lord Da Shi, where does this joy come from?" Zhang Yang asked.

"After Lord Zhang was attached to our dynasty, he immediately drove away Zhu Yuanzhang, who occupied the territory of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. After the court knew about it, he would definitely reward Lord Zhang. Isn't this a happy event?" Da Zhi said to Mu You.

I hit Zhu Yuanzhang, not for your Yuan Dynasty! Zhang Yang thought to himself and suddenly figured out that this old fox was really cunning!

I'm afraid everyone knows why he surrendered to the court. This time, he fought a battle with Zhu Yuanzhang and drove him back to Jiangbei. I'm afraid that the court will definitely publicize his "loyalty" and make other anti-yuan forces hate him to the bone.

In this way, he had to fight with other forces, thus weakening his power. The court completed this great event without spending a soldier.

However, this is just a wishful thinking of the court.

Zhang Yang looked at Dazhi's old face and said, "In order to better attack other rebels, this is the best strategic place, so I will deploy heavy troops here to defend the north bank of the Yangtze River."

Da Shi's face became ugly. Those words just now were just polite, and his topic has not been said yet.

He came to celebrate with Zhang Shicheng. After all, this is the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, which has not been assigned to Zhang Shicheng. Now, Zhang Shicheng has made a great contribution to let the court reward him. At the same time, let him return this place to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, which is the intention of Dazhi.

Originally, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province was allocated a large part from Hangzhou. Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province has become dilapidated, and the tax revenue is more than half less. If Lian Jiqing is also taken away by him, who knows if he will think about other places!

"Lord Zhang, this doesn't seem appropriate, does it? This celebration is the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. The imperial court did not give you Jiangnan and Jiangbei Province, did it? Da Zhi said to Mu You.

Zhang Yang smiled innocently: "Of course not."

"Then give it back to us!"

"However, the court will soon give it to me."

"Why?"

"Because I want to take this as a base to Jiangbei and completely kill Zhu Yuanzhang. Do you think the emperor will agree to station troops here here?" Zhang Yang asked.

Dazhi is completely speechless.

To the north of Jiqing is Chuzhou. From here to the north, it is indeed a good place to attack Chuzhou. Especially Zhang Shicheng still has troops in the east. If he attacks on both sides, he is likely to succeed.

And the court likes to use these forces to eliminate the rebels. Maybe the person on the Dragon Throne will really agree.

It's really pleasing to see that Dazhi's old face turn red and white for a while. In fact, Zhang ** had no plan to attack Jiangbei, at least he had to wait until he expanded his power. However, this excuse would definitely make the court move.

So, as soon as the words came out, he stopped eating. He finally knew that the person in front of him had a devil's heart. He would not be at ease if he didn't eat Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province in one bite.

"Well, I'll leave." Da Shi said in a trembling voice, either angry or disappointed, or... "Lord Da Shi, we will often contact each other in the future. We are all neighbors." Instead, Zhang Yang became enthusiastic and sent him to the door.

He sent away the depressed Dashi Timur. Zhang Yang stood in the yard of the government office, looking at the sky of Ying Tianfu, and his face was calm.

In the fourteenth year of the first year, the whole land of the Yuan Dynasty was full of war.

North of the Great Wall, the soldiers and horses supporting the expansion of the crown prince, and the troops of the Trojan, fought fiercely in Taiyuan, Datong. The last soldiers and horses of the Yuan Dynasty, in the civil war, fell into killing each other, and even the troops of the guards of Dadu joined in.

Taking advantage of the civil strife of the Yuan Dynasty, Liu Futong from Jiangbei took the opportunity to expand his sphere of influence, fought everywhere, and conquered many counties.

Han Lin'er, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, should also look good.

In the south of the Yangtze River, a major event happened. After the salt field uprising army occupied a large area of territory in the south of the Yangtze River, it bowed down to the Yuan Dynasty. There were different opinions on this reason. Some people thought that Zhang Shicheng was accumulating strength to wait for it again, and some thought that Zhang Shicheng was greedy for glory and wealth and began to enjoy himself.

However, the people living under Zhang Shicheng's rule really felt the benefits. They divided the fields and began to cultivate their own land. Moreover, they were exempted from taxes within three years, which gave them a lot of motivation.

In addition to the common people, the scholar class is also attached to a large number of people. The famous person Qingtian Liu Bowen personally checked the customs. Most of those who entered the Hongwen Museum were sent to the parents and officials of the land, so that they could realize their ambitions and benefit the people.

And the merchant class, although they have to pay taxes, seem to be heavier than the original burden, but they don't have to bear the oppression and exploitation of officials in various places. On the contrary, they don't have to lose too much. Moreover, the business is better than before. They follow Zhang Shicheng's team of selling salt. Business has been achieved all over the country, and under the leadership of Shen Wansan, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, they are eager to try and prepare to develop new business opportunities.

The most amazing thing for businessmen is the kind of "glass" mentioned by Zhang Shicheng, which was finally fired in a cave outside Hangzhou!

Looking at the colorless and transparent glass, Shen Wansan personally arrived at the scene and set off tens of thousands of firecrackers. He had seen that this kind of thing would inevitably bring him huge business opportunities.

However, Zhang Yang has not planned to make the cement public yet. He has asked people to develop it. After several months, the cement has been made. He immediately used it to repair the walls damaged by artillery, the structure of reinforced concrete, and siege weapons such as rushing vehicles, all of which are useless.

And the war between Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang made people see Zhang Shicheng's strong strength. The heavenly mansion, which was as dangerous, was taken by Zhang Shicheng's army with a charge. Of course, there are also different versions, saying that it was not taken by Zhang Shicheng, but the general under Zhu Yuanzhang. Xie Zaixing revolted and surrendered. Zhang Shicheng, also said, was the general of Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, who provoked the defenders of Gaoyou Mansion in Jiangbei. As a result, he was completely defeated by the general called Chang Yuchun. Chang Yuchun's army went south, defeated Ying Tianfu, and captured Zhu Yuanzhang alive.

However, no matter what the people say, Zhu Yuanzhang can't refute the rumors, because Zhu Yuanzhang has not recovered his memory for several months.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang, in addition to eating and sleeping, does the most things every day is to tell him the past under the guidance of Ma Dajiao (Ma Xiuying), hoping that he can recover.

After taking down Ying Tianfu, Zhang Yang couldn't leave and held the flag again. I helped your court beat Zhu Yuanzhang and planned to continue to beat him. This is the battlefield. You don't let me free it up, will you?

If Zhang Yang doesn't leave, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province will have no choice.

Zhang Yang did not intend to attack immediately. He recruited 50,000 new people in Jiangnan and was in strict training. Chang Yuchun was also transferred to Jiangnan to be responsible for the training of these soldiers. In the near future, he did not want to start the war lightly.

Now, Zhang Yang's top priority is the development of new warships in the shipyard.

Zu Qing has been busy in the shipyard. A large number of high-quality wood has been cut down, dried in the shipyard, and various anti-corrosion measures have been made. The cooperation with the steam engine has also been demonstrated, and the loaded artillery has also been confirmed. The construction of the small treasure ship is about to begin.

About Zu Qing, Zhang Yang finally told his mother and Ruohan that he would have the opposition of the two. Unexpectedly, they had no opinion, which made Zhang Yang feel excited and felt that he had this kind of treatment when he had crossed here. Behind which successful man, there were not a lot of women. Question mark

He Zhaoyi almost monopolized the grain market in most of the capitals, and she also became a grain merchant for Zhang Yang's official grain acquisition. While earning a large amount of money, she once again became closer to Zhang Yang.

Looking at the prosperity of his own rule, Zhang Yang was full of confidence.

After his hard battle, he finally ushered in a short-term stable situation, which made his power develop explosively again. Now he has the ability to let go.

In June of the fourteenth year, Luo Guanzhong finally sent a piece of information: Chen Youliang killed Xu Shouhui, established the Han regime, and became the emperor himself!
