Chapter 109 Are you looking for Deputy Commander Zhu? What a coincidence, I am
"I see, Brother Zhou wants the construction method of the new type of ship?" Zhu Han immediately guessed his intention.
Zhou Gushan is engaged in maritime trade, which involves trafficking from the Central Plains to Japan and Korea. Occasionally, he also goes south to Guangzhou, Nanyang and other places.
However, the world is now very chaotic on all seas, and we are often intercepted and attacked by various pirates, which has already caused heavy losses.
The last time the Red Scarf Army defeated the Goryeo Navy at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Zhou Gushan happened to see some scenes on the shore.
The two battleships of the Red Scarf Army are not only fast and powerful, but also possess invincible combat capabilities.
If there are so many warships on the sea to escort them, let alone escort them, even if they want to plunder other ships on the sea, it will not be difficult.
In the late Yuan Dynasty, all naval battles relied on battleship collisions or hand-to-hand combat.
Zhu Han's artillery battleship is definitely a god descending from the earth.
"I also ask the deputy commander to agree. As long as I, Zhou, can build three or four identical warships, I am willing to give the deputy commander Xiang five hundred thousand silver every year to support military expenses. In addition, I will show my filial piety during the new year!" Zhou Gushan said.
"Five hundred thousand taels?" Zhu Han was shocked by this amount.
He never expected that Zhou Gushan would be so generous.
Five hundred thousand taels of silver, are all merchants in the big sea making money like this?
In fact, Zhou Gushan was willing to pay so much money just to make a living. If the Zhou family could not maintain its status among the large merchants, the Zhou family would be reduced to a second-rate existence among the big families in Suzhou. Their local real estate shops were far away.
Less than a businessman like Shen Wansan.
Moreover, sea merchants like Zhou Gushan have never been good men and women. Once they have powerful force on the ocean, they will not just sit there and collect tolls, but they will have to fight openly and openly.
Anyway, no matter how you calculate it, half a million taels of silver is a lot, but it is definitely a bargain.
"Shipbuilding is not something that happens overnight. Just preparing wood, cement and other items may not take a year or two," Zhu Han said tentatively.
Any wood used to make a wooden boat must not be fresh wood. It must be soaked in water for a year after being cut down before the boat can be built.
Otherwise, once fresh wood is used to build a boat, it will soon deform and fall apart after being launched into the water.
"Deputy Commander, don't worry about this. Our Zhou family has a dock in Zhenjiang and has a lot of wood and cement in stock. Even if it's towering wood, there is a lot of it." Zhou Gushan said.
"Is there a dock in Zhenjiang?" Zhu Han's eyes suddenly lit up.
He had exhausted all the assets captured by the Red Turban Army before he could build two artillery battleships. To be honest, these two artillery battleships were streamlined in many places because of the lack of suitable wood.
A big businessman in Suzhou actually found a shipbuilding dock just by asking, which made Zhu Han envious.
"Yes, there are many shipyards in Zhenjiang. Although my Zhou family's shipyard is not the largest, it is still among the best. It will not be a problem to build ten or eight ships."
Good guy, there are ten ships and eight ships in one mouth.
"Are you really sure you can build my new warships?" Zhu Han asked again.
"It looks quite exquisite from the outside, but I can guess a lot about it, but I don't dare to make random guesses about the specific construction methods inside." Zhou Gushan said.
Zhu Han knew as soon as he heard this that he had met an expert in shipbuilding. He was definitely a rare talent who could understand the hull of a ship just by relying on its appearance.
"Of course I have French craftsmanship. How many ships can your shipyard build?" Zhu Han asked.
Zhou Gushan thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "If we guess the materials used based on the appearance, it should be no problem to build ten ships. If we borrow more materials from other shipyards, we should be able to build fifteen ships."
hiss!
Zhu Han suddenly took a breath after hearing this.
The strength of the Dahai Zhou family is simply terrifying.
Fifteen artillery battleships, once launched, can be said to be the strongest navy in the world today.
"Brother Zhou, I can agree to your request." Zhu Han said calmly.
"Great, great!" Zhou Gushan looked grateful.
"However, I also have conditions, and you must agree first." Zhu Han said.
Zhou Gushan was stunned for a moment, then showed a very understanding expression.
It seems that his five hundred thousand taels of silver are not enough for Zhu Han's appetite, so he wants to make more demands.
However, the wealthy Zhou family in Suzhou are not afraid of Zhu Han's conditions, but they are afraid that Zhu Han will not agree.
"Deputy Commander, it's okay to talk!" Zhou Gushan said loudly.
"I want to share your shipyard with you. Each of our two families will own half of the shares. We can build fifteen warships. I can give you three warships to the Zhou family, and the remaining twelve are mine!" Zhu Han said.
Upon hearing this condition, Zhou Gushan almost jumped up in anger.
Most of the fifteen warships were actually eaten by Zhu Han, so how could the Zhou family maintain its status as a large sea merchant?
Twelve warships versus three warships, as long as Zhu Han wanted to take away Zhou's position as a maritime merchant, he only had to move his fingers.
"No, no, deputy commander, this is absolutely not possible." Zhou Gushan waved his hands repeatedly.
Zhu Han could guess what Zhou Gushan was thinking.
He calmly took out a map from the book bag behind him and unfolded it on the table.
"Brother Zhou, come and take a look at this." Zhu Han said with a smile.
Zhou Gushan stood up and took a look. It didn't matter. His face suddenly turned extremely pale, almost bloodless. If he hadn't been holding the table with both hands, he would have collapsed if his feet gave out.
"This, this, this,,,." Zhou Gushan trembled as he spoke.
"Haha, brother Zhou, don't get excited. This is a sea chart. Can't you see it?" Zhu Han said with a smile.
Zhou Gushan cursed in his heart, it was just nonsense. Of course he could see that it was a nautical chart, and it was precisely because he saw that it was a nautical chart that he was so rude.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In ancient ocean trade, whoever mastered a detailed chart was equivalent to mastering the rich routes and the locations of all the islands along the way.
, where you can replenish fresh water, where you can get food, and where you can avoid wind and waves, all are under your control.
The navigation charts of each large merchant family are their own secrets that are not passed down. They are often passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson, and from male to female.
It can be said that the chart that Zhu Han took out just now is many times clearer and more accurate than the chart that Zhou Gushan keeps in his home.
And if Zhu Han has this thing in his hands, it is equivalent to having the capital to join the ranks of large-scale merchants at any time. All he needs is to prepare ships.
The land of China in this era is synonymous with abundant products. No matter what kind of specialty product it is, as long as it is loaded on a ship and shipped to any place overseas, you can make a lot of money.
As a result, Zhou Gushan has no capital to continue bargaining.
Although fifteen battleships are a lot, the Red Scarf Army can always get them together if they spend more time.
A detailed nautical chart is the work of several generations of a family.
Zhou Gushan thought for a moment and agreed to Zhu Han's conditions.
Zhu Han saw this and smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I won't let you suffer. In the future, your Zhou family can get the 'Development License' and 'Private License' issued by me!"
Zhou Gushan was confused when he heard this, and immediately asked: "Deputy Commander, may I ask what these development licenses and privateering licenses are?"
"Soon after, I plan to set up a naval governor's office to specifically govern all maritime trade. For any ship that has not been registered with the naval governor's office, you can use your privateering license to collect taxes or launch attacks, or confiscate the ship. All consequences will be
I, the Navy Commander-in-Chief, will be in charge." Zhu Han said.
In the troubled ocean at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Japanese pirates from Japan appeared frequently. Coupled with merchant pirates from vassal states such as Goryeo, it can be said to be the most lively sea area in the world today.
The existence of privateering certificates allowed Zhu Han's naval governor's office to quickly establish prestige and control those large merchants.
"I will not participate in your Suzhou merchant group's military campaign, but all matters at sea can be done under the name of our Red Scarf Army," Zhu Han said.
"I understand, the deputy commander is really generous!" Zhou Gushan said excitedly.
According to Zhu Han's statement, the Zhou family's ships can walk sideways on the sea from now on. Anyone who disobeys discipline or refuses to pay protection fees will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
If there are some forces that are difficult to deal with, you can also ask the Red Turban Army's Navy Governor's Mansion to take action. No matter how big a pirate you are or whether you are a prince or prince, you will never be able to stop the Red Turban Army's thunderous strike.
.
After all, even Emperor Meng Yuan was killed by the Red Scarf Army, let alone others.
Just listen to Zhu Han continue to say: "As for the development certificate, it is used to encourage the development of various islands. Any new islands that can be discovered, as long as they are not on this chart, are all based on the same principle, then whoever discovers them first will be the first to discover them.
Whoever has the power to govern first will have exclusive power over all the wealth on the island. If so, let it be limited to fifty years."
The so-called nautical chart is naturally the offshore nautical chart along the coast of China. This development certificate is only applicable to islands outside this range.
"I'm afraid the islands on the East China Sea have already been included. If it works, we can only go to the Nanyang area. There are islands there and are rich in various products. However, the miasma is too severe, so we can only plan slowly in the future. ." Zhou Gushan thought secretly in his heart.
After this conversation, the Zhou family, a large merchant, was basically taken under Zhu Han's command.
The Zhou family wanted to obtain stronger maritime escort capabilities, and Zhu Han wanted to quickly expand the navy, so naturally they hit it off.
At Zhu Han's suggestion, he planned to go to Zhenjiang in a few days to personally check the scale of the Zhou family's shipyard there.
By the way, take a look at several other shipyards in Zhenjiang to see if they are qualified to enter your screening range.
After leaving Suzhou, only two days passed.
This was the beginning of the "Suzhou Uprising" planned by Shen Wansan and others.
Under the planning of the major businessmen and wealthy families, thousands of people poured into the streets, beat and killed the semu tax officials stationed in the local area, destroyed the tax officials' offices and warehouses, and opened warehouses to release grain, recruiting more poor people to participate.
The local Mongolian and Yuan officials were completely helpless.
Behind the stars, there is a prairie fire.
Not only Suzhou, but also surrounding Songzhou, Changzhou and other places also followed suit.
Because Zhu Han did not allow them to use the name of the Red Scarf Army, Shen Wansan and others also came up with new methods without thinking.
After Zhu Han received the information, he almost laughed out loud.
"Support Yuan to destroy thieves?"
Shen Wansan and others were very cunning and used the slogan of eradicating traitors for Dayuan.
I just don’t know whether the thieves here refer to the Red Scarf Army, the Semu people, or the Mongols.
News of Su Song's riot soon reached Jiqing Mansion.
Pingzhang Bolu, Fan Yao and others from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces suddenly became worried.
"Suzhou has rebelled, and Changzhou has rebelled. Should we send a large army to quell the rebellion quickly?" Bolu asked.
"We should quell the rebellion, but I'm afraid we won't be able to quell it. Now we have less than 10,000 soldiers and horses. If we fight them all in Suzhou and haven't quelled them, it will be in danger in the future." Fan Yao said.
For a moment, several people were looking gloomy, and no one could think of a useful way.
At this time, Bolu and others immediately looked at Liu Bowen, who was participating in politics.
"Bowen, think of a way quickly." Bolu said quickly.
Liu Bowen frowned and thought for a while, but didn't say a word. He just sighed heavily.
Obviously, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and without soldiers and horses, no matter how hard she tries, it will be useless.
Even Liu Bowen, the think tank, was at his wits' end, and the others were looking for trouble.
For the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, although the Susong area is small, it occupies the essence of half of the entire province. If we sit back and watch Susong rot, other places will definitely follow suit, and Bolu and the others will soon fall into the trap. The government orders do not leave the city.
"The rebellion in Suzhou must be quelled, otherwise we will be sorry for the Yuan Dynasty and the imperial court." Bolu said loudly.
"There are less than 10,000 troops and horses, do you want to send them all?" Fan Yao asked quickly.
"The merchants gathered in Suzhou are all a bunch of soft-footed shrimps. We don't need all the troops. Just send three thousand people. As long as they see blood, I believe they will be scared to the point of weakness." Bolu was full of contempt for the merchants.
"Okay, then I will personally quell the rebellion." Fan Yao said quickly.
In Fan Yao's heart, he also looked down upon the merchants in Suzhou. They were just a bunch of fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and they dared to rebel!
Fan Yao thought about leading 3,000 soldiers to attack, then kill some people, ransack some homes, and make a lot of money.
If a wealthy businessman like Shen Wansan could figure it out, he would naturally be able to make even more money.
Fan Yao immediately took charge of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Marching Marshals and led three thousand troops straight to Suzhou.
When they entered Suzhou, they didn't even look at the wealthy villages and towns along the way, and headed straight for the city of Suzhou without stopping at all.
After all, the city of Suzhou is a real treasure trove of wealth. If you have such a cornucopia, you might not be able to grab it. How can you have the time to pay attention to small villages and towns?
Three thousand Mongolian soldiers and horses were extremely powerful, and they suddenly appeared at the foot of Suzhou City, surprising Shen Wansan and others.
Seeing the arrival of three thousand genuine Yuan troops, a group of wealthy businessmen immediately became panicked.
"What should I do!"
"How can this be good!"
"Who said that great vitality numbers are not good? These three thousand soldiers and horses are coming in a hurry. They are a strong army."
"It's better to send someone to make peace!"
Facing a group of wealthy businessmen whose knees suddenly went weak, Shen Wansan seemed to have expected it.
I saw him cough hard and say loudly.
"Don't panic. We have more than 40 cannons in the city. Are they just for looks?"
As soon as they heard the name of Cannon, many people immediately felt at ease.
"Yes, we have cannons!"
"The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty couldn't stop the cannons from killing him, let alone these Jiangsu and Zhejiang minions!"
"The marshal is right. We have cannons, so what are we afraid of?"
Shen Wansan is now the general marshal of Suzhou's "Support Yuan and Destroy Thieves", commanding the troops in the city.
Under Shen Wansan's control, a group of Suzhou powerful men who "supported the Yuan Dynasty and destroyed the thieves" followed them to the top of the city and began to salute first and then attack the Mongolian Yuan officers and soldiers outside the city.
I saw two huge flags fluttering in the wind on the top of Suzhou City. One side was embroidered with the word 'Yuan', and the other side was embroidered with 'Support the Yuan and destroy the thieves'. There were also heads hanging on the outside of the city wall. They were all guilty of heinous crimes. The head of the tax official with lustful eyes.
Among the troops outside Suzhou City, one after another's Dayuan' flags were flying in the wind.
At first glance, the two Yuan armies seemed to be fighting among themselves.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors, surrender quickly and I will keep you alive!"
Fan Yao sent sergeants to shout outside the city, trying to win over the people of Suzhou first.
However, the people sent by Shen Wansan also shouted loudly, saying that they were not rebels, but loyal and loyal to the Yuan Dynasty, and that they had only eradicated some treacherous officials for the Yuan Dynasty who had committed heinous crimes and made the people angry.
The verbal exchanges between the two sides have no effect at all.
When Fan Yao saw this, he immediately became angry and sent people to prepare to block the various gates of Suzhou City.
Seeing the careless movements of the Yuan army outside the city, Shen Wansan knew that his opportunity had come.
"Artillery ready!"
"The elite warriors of each family are ready. When the city gate opens, they will kill the generals out immediately!"
"No matter what the battle situation is, Ming Jin withdraws his troops immediately!"
Shen Wansan's military deployment turned out to be very orderly, and it didn't look like it was the first time.
Just as the Yuan army outside the city began to prepare to blockade various city gates, Ou suddenly heard roars coming from Suzhou City.
Boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
Then clouds of white smoke shot up from the top of Suzhou City, and miserable wailings sounded from the Yuan army's positions.
Three thousand Jiangsu and Zhejiang Yuan troops were instantly stunned by the artillery fire. Every soldier did not know the general, and those who did not know the soldiers fled randomly.
The wealthy merchants and wealthy families in the city of Suzhou were dumbfounded.
None of them expected that the dignified Dayuan was already so weak, and that this round of artillery bombardment was so chaotic that he lost his position.
Suzhou City spent a lot of money to recruit brave men who were willing to die, and immediately took the opportunity to cover up and leave the city. Three thousand Jiangsu and Zhejiang officers and soldiers were killed and fled in rout.
They escaped for more than thirty miles in one breath before they dared to stop and take a breath. Marshal Fan Yao of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang marches was also hit by an arrow and was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.
When news of the defeat spread back to Jiqing, Pingzhang Bolu, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, knew that he was about to be doomed.
At this time, Liu Bowen, who participated in politics, reminded him: "My lord, destiny is like this, why don't you sacrifice your land to protect yourself?"
In early summer, Gaoyou City in Huaidong.
As a world-famous salt area, Gaoyou has now restored its former prosperous atmosphere.
There is already an endless stream of business travelers traveling from north to south in Gaoyou City.
Just the wine shops and tea stalls along the street were already full of guests.
A group of people wearing thick black cloth walked into Gaoyou City.
There were about seven or eight of them. The leader was tall and wearing a short game uniform. At first glance, he looked like a martial artist.
"Sir, how on earth are we going to find Marshal Zhu Longxing when we come to Gaoyou City?" asked a man following behind.
This man called Senior Brother is the eldest disciple of Liu Sangui of the Shandong Rebel Army, the pirate leader of Haiyang County. His other identity is to open a martial arts gym and recruit disciples to teach as a cover.
"Shuai Zhang from Gaoyou City is said to be a subordinate of Marshal Zhu Longxing. It's definitely okay for us to go find him." Senior Brother Gao Guoping said.
"Senior Brother, I see that the rebels here don't look like rebels at all, but more like a group of business people!" A slightly shorter man said from behind.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He is dressed as a man, but there is no beard on his face, no Adam's apple on his throat, and there is an ear hole in his ear. Just look at it and you can tell that he is It's a woman disguised as a man.
"Don't say much, let's go quickly." The senior brother said to his junior sister.
After making inquiries, the group finally arrived at the residence of Marshal Zhang Shicheng in Gaoyou City.
However, before they even entered the gate, they were told that Marshal Zhang was no longer in the mansion and had gone out to inspect military affairs.
"There is no Zhu Longxing. There are only Marshal Zhu, the marshal of the capital, and Marshal Zhu, the deputy marshal. If you want to find reinforcements, you should go to Taizhou as soon as possible. I heard that deputy marshal Zhu is inspecting the military equipment there."
After spending an ingot of silver, their group got useful information.
"Deputy Commander Zhu?"
Only then did Gao Guoping and his party understand that the glorious achievements of General Zhu Longxing they had heard about were actually based on the combined achievements of brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han.
"Then let's go to Taizhou and we must hurry up!" Gao Guoping said.
"But what if we can't find reinforcements after we go to Taizhou? We have more and more dog Tatar soldiers at home, but they are still waiting for us." said the junior sister who was disguised as a man.
"Sanniang, don't worry. If we still can't see Dashuai Zhu in Taizhou, then we will continue to Chuzhou. Anyway, we can always see Dashuai Zhu." Gao Guoping said.
"But if that Marshal Zhu or Deputy Marshal Zhu doesn't send reinforcements and refuses to save them, what will we do?" Junior Sister Liu Sanniang continued.
"Commander Zhu Longxing is such an indomitable hero that he will not ignore us!" Senior Brother Gao Guoping said.
The sudden rise of various rebel armies along the coast of Shandong did catch the Mongolian and Yuan official troops by surprise at first.
However, when the newly appointed Prime Minister Hama of Shandong Province led his troops to Shandong, the situation immediately reversed.
The troops under Hama were basically the original imperial guards of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. They were all capable of escorting the emperor, and their combat power was much stronger than the garrison in Shandong.
In just less than two months, five or six of the dozen or so rebels of the Song Dynasty Emperor Shu in Shandong were killed. The remaining rebel leaders also lost their troops and were either trapped in the isolated city, retreated to the island, or hid in the mountains.
Anyway, the current anti-Yuan situation in Shandong has changed from good to bad.
Liu Sangui, the pirate leader who occupied Haiyang County, was also trapped in a situation where he was blocked by heavy troops.
In order to get a chance, Liu Sangui sent his senior disciple Gao Guoping, his daughter Liu Sanniang and others to break out and ask for help.
They wandered all the way and finally arrived at Huaidong, but they had no clue at all and couldn't even find a way to find someone.
Finally arrived at Gaoyou, but failed again.
However, Gao Guoping and others were not discouraged and immediately left Gaoyou City and headed for Taizhou.
They had already inquired about the Red Turban Army stationed in Taizhou, and Deputy Commander Zhu Han was there.
After traveling for more than a day, Gao Guoping and others finally arrived at the border of Taizhou.
They were traveling in a hurry and were already exhausted.
I happened to see a tea shop on the roadside, so a group of people walked in.
"Store, come bring some food and drinks!" Gao Guoping shouted loudly.
A waiter came out slowly and said, "What would you like to eat, sir?"
"You can do whatever you want, and you won't be short of money!" Gao Guoping said.
The waiter showed disdain on his face. This bunch of rustic Shandong people had a lot of airs. They were even more arrogant than those wealthy salt merchants.
Soon, several dishes of food were served, and Gao Guoping and others started to eat hungrily.
They were originally pirates from Haiyang County, so there was no way they were polite.
Only Liu Sanniang was a little reserved, eating in small bites.
However, even Liu Sanniang's so-called stuttering appearance was still rude in the eyes of the waiter.
"This Shandong native eats steamed buns one by one, and his throat is quite thick."
The two guys laughed softly.
At this moment, the sound of a carriage suddenly came from outside the door.
Gao Guoping and others looked up and almost jumped up in shock.
I saw a convoy arriving outside the tea shop, with more than a dozen large trucks packed to the brim. On each vehicle was a flag with the words 'Support the Yuan and destroy the thieves'.
Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others immediately became alert.
"What's going on? Isn't Taizhou the territory of the rebels? How come there are dog Tatar soldiers and horses?"
The guards of this convoy are obviously elite. Everyone is wearing brand new clothes and leather hats, and several of them are also wearing body armor.
In the eyes of pirates like Gao Guoping and Green Lin, soldiers who can wear half-body armor are already considered elite.
"The situation is not right, copy the good guys!" Gao Guoping said in a low voice.
Liu Sanniang and others put their hands on the handles of their swords, ready to strike back at any moment.
However, the waiters in this store didn't seem to find anything strange at all.
As soon as he saw the convoy of these 'Supporting Yuan and Destroying Thieves' appearing, he greeted them with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Shen, you're here. Please come inside and invite us to prepare the finest Chuzhou fruit wine for you!" the waiter said with a smile.
"It's your reward!"
Mr. Shen jumped off his horse majestically and threw a small piece of silver to the waiter.
The waiter took the money and immediately smiled even brighter.
When Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others saw this, they suddenly felt that something was very wrong.
"It's broken, this is a fucking black shop!"
"A black shop colluding with the Tatars!"
"They are coming in, we can't wait any longer!"
There were a large number of people in this motorcade, and after entering, they sat down one after another around Gao Guoping and others.
Faintly, Gao Guoping and others felt as if they were surrounded.
"Elder brother, we can't wait any longer!" Liu Sanniang said in a low voice.
Seeing that these dog Tatars are about to come in, there is no hope of breaking out.
Gao Guoping's face suddenly darkened and he felt worried.
Crack!
The sound of a sword being unsheathed was heard instantly.
Gao Guoping stood up and shouted, "Dog Tatar, take your life!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The convoy guards had just sat down and had not even taken a sip of water. When they saw Gao Guoping and others coming, they were instantly frightened.
Especially Mr. Shen, who was so generous just now, was even more nervous.
I saw Mr. Shen jumping up in leaps and bounds, drawing out his saber, looking around and shouting loudly.
“Where are the Tatars?!”
“Where are the Tatars?!”
In an instant, the guards in the entire tea shop became nervous.
Gao Guoping and others only felt that the originally tense situation suddenly became awkward.
"You dog Tatar, why are you pretending!" Liu Sanniang shouted angrily.
It was only then that everyone in the tea shop realized that the Shandong guests from Shandong Province mistook them for Tatars.
When the waiter at the tea shop saw this, he quickly ran out from behind the counter.
"Guys, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
"Master Shen and the others are Suzhou's army to support the Yuan and destroy thieves, not Tatars."
Liu Sanniang swung the sword in her hand and placed it directly on the waiter's neck.
"You bitch, you think we are fools! Help Yuan to destroy the thieves. Who is the Yuan and who is the thief? Do you think I don't know?" Liu Sanniang shouted sharply.
The waiter was so frightened that he wet his buttocks. He didn't expect that these Shandong customers were so aggressive and would take action whenever they asked.
"Humph, you are from outside and don't know the situation here!" Mr. Shen said.
"Bah, no matter what your situation is, you will die for me!"
Senior brother Gao Guoping was no longer too lazy to talk nonsense. He stepped forward and kicked over the table, blocking several convoy guards, and then rushed to the door of the tea shop.
Master Shen and others were caught off guard, and a pot of boiling tea almost splashed into Master Shen's face.
"You bitch, you're looking for death!"
"Fuck me!"
Master Shen suddenly became angry and led everyone to chase after him with a wave of his hand.
A group of people were fighting fiercely in the tea shop, and no one dared to bully them too much.
All of a sudden, various benches, teapots, dishes and dishes were flying freely in the air.
The crackling sound spread throughout the tea shop inside and outside.
Thumb thump!!
suddenly.
On the road outside, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves.
A dozen cavalrymen on tall horses rushed over.
These cavalrymen were wearing shiny robes and carrying bows, arrows, spears and other heavy weapons on their horses. They spread out in a semicircle one by one and blocked the door of the tea shop.
Gao Guoping and others were surrounded by these cavalry.
However, when Gao Guoping and others saw the appearance of these cavalry clearly, they immediately stopped panicking.
Because these cavalrymen all wore red turbans or red arms, they looked like the Red Turban Army.
"Great, he is a brother of the rebels!"
"Dog Tartars, wait for death!"
Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others cheered in surprise.
However, the next scene almost shocked their jaws.
I saw Mr. Shen covering his forehead, which had a big red and swollen bump on it from the tea cup, and shouting in a crying voice.
"Sir, you have to make the decision for me!"
The leader of this group of cavalry is a teenage boy, who is what Mr. Shen calls the ‘adult’.
"Shen Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Zhu Han asked with a serious face.
Shen Qi and others were the purchasers of Suzhou's "Fu Yuan and Suppress the Thieves" Army, and they were specifically responsible for sending money to the Red Turban Army to purchase artillery and ammunition.
To Zhu Han, he was like a boy giving money.
In Taizhou's own territory, someone actually dares to beat up his own money-giving boy. How can he just let it go?
"Sir, these Shandong guys get violent and hurt each other as soon as they meet. I almost had my face broken by a pot of boiling water!" Shen Qi pointed at Gao Guoping and others and complained loudly.
Gao Guoping and others were completely confused at this time.
What the hell is going on, the dog Tatars were beaten, and they asked the Red Scarf Army to provide them with justice.
Are the dog Tatars crazy, or the Red Turban Army?
Or are we ourselves crazy?
Seeing this group of goose-like Shandong people, Zhu Han also cast a curious look.
Huh.
It didn't matter what he saw, he actually saw a woman disguised as a man!
A pair of almond-shaped eyes full of murderous aura, which is not the aura of an ordinary woman at all.
Moreover, this woman has long legs and a slender waist, with a protruding front and a curved back. Even if she is dressed in men's clothing, she can still be seen as somewhat gorgeous.
Zhu Han looked at it and suddenly shook his head.
He was nagging, he was at the peak of his growth and development recently, why did he start to become so lustful?
"Are you rebels?"
Liu Sanniang suddenly asked.
"Yes, we are the Red Scarf Army. To be precise, we are the Red Scarf Army South Route Army!" Zhu Han said to the young lady in front of him.
"Then why do you and the dog Tatar wear the same pants?" Liu Sanniang asked immediately.
"Dog Tartars? You mean them?" Zhu Han pointed at Shen Qi and others.
Liu Sanniang nodded. "Yes, aren't they dog Tatars?"
Zhu Han suddenly laughed. "Haha, they are not dog Tatars. They are the rebels of Suzhou, and they can also be regarded as the righteous soldiers who oppose the Yuan Dynasty."
"Anti-Yuan righteous man? Then why are you flying the banner of supporting the Yuan and exterminating the traitors?" Liu Sanniang asked in pursuit.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han understood the reason for the misunderstanding.
"Supporting Yuan and destroying thieves is just a slogan. It's like some bandits robbing homes and houses, but they are also shouting to do justice for heaven!" Zhu Han said with a smile.
Afterwards, after another explanation, Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others believed that individuals like Mr. Shen were righteous men who carried the "Yuan Banner" to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.
As for why they do this, they just don't understand.
Of course, they were too lazy to pay attention.
The two groups of people covered the wounds they had just bumped into and dispersed.
Zhu Han saw that the store was smashed to pieces, so he asked them to share the store's losses equally.
"You are really rebels, so you must know where Marshal Zhu or Deputy Marshal Zhu is, right?"
Liu Sanniang came to Zhu Han and asked.
Upon hearing her words, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Chen Baodao and others behind Zhu Han became nervous and slowly escorted them to Zhu Han's side.
"What are you looking for, Marshal Zhu?" Zhu Han asked.
"We are the rebels in Shandong. The situation is critical and we have come to ask for help and move reinforcements!" Liu Sanniang said.
"Rebels from Shandong?" Zhu Han did not expect that these people from Shandong in front of him were not merchants, but rebels.
"Yes, we are the rebels in Haiyang, and our marshal is the uncle of the Great Song Dynasty..."
Afterwards, Liu Sanniang told the whole story about the origins of her group.
Zhu Han asked again and again. There were no inconsistencies and he no longer doubted their identities.
"Did you never expect that the situation of the Shandong Rebel Army is already so critical?"
Zhu Han also did not expect that these rebels would be defeated easily by Hama's defeated general.
"Yes, fighting emergencies is like putting out fires. Little brother, please take us to Marshal Zhu quickly!" Liu Sanniang said pleadingly.
Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu and others on the side almost had their noses twisted with anger.
The Shandong female pirate in front of me is so brave that she dares to call the deputy commander 'little brother'?
Looking at the whole world, except for Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang, his brother, and Li Zhen, his second brother-in-law, no one dares to address Zhu Han like that to his face.
Even Zhao Lin'er, the young emperor of Yingzhou, always addressed Zhu Pingzhang or Zhu Qing in all the imperial edicts he sent!
"Little brother? I'm not little!"
Zhu Han also felt unhappy for a while.
"Are you a rebel or not? Could it be a lie? Did you run away wearing the clothes of an adult in the family?" Liu Sanniang said immediately when she saw Zhu Han's unwillingness.
Zhu Han smiled slightly: "To be honest, I'm afraid it's impossible to take you to see Marshal Zhu. Marshal Zhu is busy with military affairs and really can't take care of you."
"Oh, if you look for Deputy Commander Zhu, that's no problem. You can see him anytime." Zhu Han said with a smile.
Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others were pleasantly surprised.
Liu Sanniang immediately said with a flattering smile: "Please brother, please take us to see Deputy Commander Zhu quickly!"
"no problem!"
As Zhu Han said this, he sat directly next to the table and slowly poured a cup of coarse tea.
Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others felt anxious all over when they saw it.
"Good brother, please, take us there quickly." Liu Sanniang said.
Zhu Han drank a cup of tea and shook the dust off his body.
"Okay, the deputy commander you are looking for is here. If you want any reinforcements, just ask." Zhu Han said.
Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others were immediately stunned and stunned.
"You, what, you are the deputy commander?" Gao Guoping swallowed and felt dizzy.
"Little brother, don't be joking!" Liu Sanniang thought he was joking.
"Does this look like I'm joking to you?" Zhu Han's expression became solemn and immediately filled with an intimidating aura.
Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Chen Baodao and others behind him also looked calm and confident, immediately making Gao Guoping, Liu Sanniang and others believe Zhu Han's words.
"Deputy Commander!"
"Really the deputy commander?"
Shen Qi and other Suzhou rebels on the other side felt that these Shandong rebels were simply stupid.
"Shen Qi, hurry up and get on your way!"
Zhu Han casually said that he had issued an order to expel the guest.
Shen Qi and others also knew that some major military matters would definitely be discussed next, so of course he resigned immediately.
After some conversation, Zhu Han basically understood the situation of the Shandong Rebels.
They have no manpower and no equipment. Apart from some advantages of being familiar with the terrain, they are simply in a situation where the entire army can be wiped out at any time.
"Looks like I have to send troops myself!"
"Chang Yuchun, hurry up and make arrangements. All sea ships in Taizhou are temporarily requisitioned to transport our troops to Shandong!"
Today's Taizhou is not only a military fortress at the mouth of the Yangtze River, but also a transit point from Gaoyou, Chuzhou, and Jinling to the outer sea.
If all inland river boats want to go to sea, they have to load their cargo onto seagoing ships or other large ships here. Otherwise, the inland river boats have a shallow draft and will capsize once they reach the sea.
