Chapter 136 Invention of canned military rations, Daming's first patent certificate(1/4)

With a buzzing sound.

All the students who were about to enter the Imperial Academy took their swords and handed them over to the guards next to them for safekeeping.

Zhao Min had to hand over the sword he passed down from his family.

As a result, Zhao Min was extremely disappointed.

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

After all, Zhu Han killed Emperor Taimur under the defense of the Yuan Imperial Guard.

Everyone put down their weapons, and Zhao Min followed these students into the lobby of the Imperial Academy. The lobby of the Imperial Academy was the first large-scale building newly built in Yingtian Prefecture after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

All the building materials used in the entire Imperial College lobby are stone.

The height of the Imperial College lobby is more than ten steps and the width is dozens of steps.

The entire Imperial Academy lobby looks magnificent, and is erected in Yingtian City, Nanjing like a huge pagoda.

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

Zhao Min's seat was indeed very high. Almost all the tens of thousands of households who were teaching in front were spraying their saliva on the faces of the students in the front row.

The person next to Wanhu was Zhu Han, the Ying Wang of the Ming Dynasty.

But now Zhao Minzhong has no sword, so he can only look at the face of Wuhan's enemy with hatred, wanting to deeply imprint his appearance in his mind.

Until the end of the entire open class, Zhao Min didn't listen to a word about the content of the open class. Her mind was full of Zhu Han's handsome face, which never dissipated in her mind for a long time and could not be gone.

With a deep impression of Zhu Han and unforgettable hatred, Zhao Min left the Imperial College with everyone.

After returning to the inn where he stayed, Zhao Min kept thinking about how to carry out a plan for assassination and revenge in the future.

If the thief Zhu Han cannot be killed, Zhao Min feels that this trip to Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing will be a complete failure.

National hatred and family hatred cannot allow oneself to fail.

When night came, Zhao Min lay on the bed in the inn, unable to fall asleep for a long time, thinking hard about how to make a plan for revenge.

Today's experience made Zhao Min know that in public occasions like the Imperial College, the possibility of assassinating Zhu Han is very low. Not to mention so many guards in the royal palace, even if those students see the assassination, they may pounce on them to subdue themselves.

Today, Zhao Min was at the Imperial College, but she saw that the students admired King Zhu Han very much, and could even say they loved him.

Anzhou, Hubei.

As the newly established prefecture of the Ming Dynasty, this is the front-line base camp for attacking Chen Youliang.

Outside Anzhou City, more than 100,000 Ming troops were marching neatly. Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty personally came to the front line and led his soldiers to attack Chen Youliang's remnants.

As long as Chen Youliang's remnants of power are driven out of Anzhou, the entire Hubei will all enter the rule of the Ming Dynasty with a sound.

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

Now that the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is on the front line, although he wants to slightly improve the morale of the soldiers, the war is still in a stalemate.

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

Taking advantage of the fatigue of the Ming army, Chen Youliang took the opportunity to launch several raids, causing the Ming army in front to panic for a moment.

Especially the troops recruited by Huguang, there were even several incidents of fleeing in the last battle.

In this way, Zhu Yuanzhang had to rectify military laws and personally ordered the deserters to behead them and displayed in public, which stabilized the morale of these new recruits.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the head of Anzhou city, looking at the warships on the Yangtze River, showing an unhappy expression.

"Now Chen Youliang has an advantageous terrain. Who can have a way to crack Chen Youliang's defense?" Zhu Yuanzhang said. At this time, he thought in his heart that if his younger brother Qiwu was here, he would definitely have a way to crack Chen Youliang's situation.

"Your Majesty, Chen Youliang now has a terrain advantage and many troops. We can send troops to use wheel battles to consume his personnel and food." Hu Dahai, the admiral of the Ming Dynasty, said first.

After the naval army led by Hu Dahaiying, the admiral of the Ming Dynasty, entered the Yangtze River, he launched a dimensionality reduction strike on Chen Youliang's navy. He fought repeatedly and won all his victories. He kept killing Chen Youliang's navy from hundreds of warships to only dozens of broken warships, and fled to Sichuan to the west.

Therefore, Hu Dahai's contributions were ranked first in this Ming Dynasty military operation. His words were naturally very important, and the wheel war was able to fully exert the military quality and abundant food advantages of the Ming army.

"This method is good, but now we think we should be a little cruel to Chen Youliang. If there is any wheel battle, will he have a chance to recuperate?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

When everyone heard that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was not very satisfied with Hu Dahai's wheel plan, they immediately made their own suggestions to the Emperor Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I have a way to send all the elites to listen to me, go around from the mountainous areas, and then launch a raid while he is unprepared. As long as the enemy's retreat is cut off and their food and supplies line are destroyed, Chen Youliang's 50,000 troops will have to retreat if they fail to completely destroy the army." As the commander of the infantry of the Ming army's western expedition, Zhang Dingbian immediately stepped forward and said.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, this is a good idea." Brother Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Zhang Dingbian, if you leave this matter to you, can you be sure of winning?"

Hearing the inquiry from Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Dingbian said without hesitation:

"Your Majesty is willing to lead the troops and take a detour to launch a raid behind Chen Youliang."

For a moment, everyone praised Zhang Dingbian's brave and fearless behavior.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy. He walked up to Zhang Dingbian and patted his shoulders, and said, "Very good, no wonder Qiwu often told me that as long as you fight Chen Youliang, you must give you a chance. It seems that your courage is not inferior to Zhao Zilong who was brave back then."

When Zhang Dingbian heard Zhu Yuanzhang say that he was Zhao Zilong, he was very happy and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty and the King of England!"

Zhang Dingbian personally led three thousand elite troops.

Starting from outside Anzhou City, along the mountain road, to the side and rear of Chen Youliang's army.

At the same time, Chen Youliang's army was not so happy that he temporarily blocked the attack of the Ming army. Many soldiers were very absent-minded.

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

"Your Majesty, now there are rumors that the army is fighting the local tyrants and dividing the land in Hubei, and the poor people are all assigned a lot of fertile land. Many soldiers in the army heard that their homes were assigned a lot of fertile land, and now they are all unwilling to fight, and many of them even secretly want to escape." Zou Pusheng, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, said worriedly.

Emperor Chen Youliang of the Han Dynasty also looked sad.

Not long ago, some Ming soldiers were captured during the battle with the Ming army. They were all natives from Hubei, many of them were Chen Youliang's old subordinates.

From these people, after the Ming army entered Hubei, they immediately attacked the local tyrants and divided the land. The soldiers of the Red Turban Army were basically from poor backgrounds, so they were naturally divided into many lands and lived a stable life with land and houses.

In this way... Chen Youliang's soldiers can no longer be calm.

You know, were they joining the Red Turban Army just to kill the Tartars to live a good life?

Now that the Ming army is fighting the local tyrants in Hubei and everyone has lived a good life, so what motivation does they have to continue fighting? It is better to put down their weapons and go back to their hometown to live a stable life.

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

Chen Youliang temporarily stabilized the confrontation with his military talents.

But the morale in the army plummeted, but he was so anxious that he was so anxious.

"Hmph! He Zhu Chongba can beat the local tyrants and divide the land, can't I?"

Chen Youliang suddenly felt a little moved.

The prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Zou Pusheng, who was standing by, also had a lit eye, "Your Majesty meant to learn the strategies of the Ming army?"

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

Zou Pusheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is right. The Ming thief has invited people to buy people's hearts. Everyone has fifteen acres of fertile land, regardless of gender, age or young."

Chen Youliang stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "Zhu Chongba is so stingy. If this is the case, I will allocate 30 acres of land to each of the people of Huguang, twice as much as Zhu Chongba!"

If Chen Youliang wants to counterattack Huguang, he must improve his morale. Now he is just painting big cakes, so he just draws bigger.

After hearing this, Zou Pusheng nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty is right. In this way, the soldiers will definitely be very motivated!"

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

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

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

Everyone in the Han army looked forward to fighting back to Hubei and living a good life with great success.

However, the big cake painted by Chen Youliang cannot fool everyone.

After some insightful soldiers made up their minds, they immediately realized that something was wrong. This high-level land was only enough to kill all the rich landlords in Hubei.

However, it is obviously impossible to kill all the rich landlords. On the contrary, the 15-acre land of the Ming army is more reliable.

The discussion in the Han army about "beating local tyrants and dividing the land" became increasingly fierce.

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

At this moment, a raid interrupted the great soldiers' beautiful longing for "beating the local tyrants and sharing the fields".

As night fell, in the mountains outside the Han army camp, Zhang Dingbian, the Ming Dynasty general who fought in the west, was ready to lead three thousand elite troops.

"General, the sentinels of the enemy ahead have been removed by us!" A thousand households of Ming soldiers came up to report.

Zhang Dingbian nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand, "Everyone put on Han military uniforms and approached quietly!"

With the order, more than 3,000 Ming soldiers immediately changed into the Han army uniforms they had seized.

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

"Who, stop!"

With a call, Chen Youliang's troops found a team close to the camp.

This soldier was wearing Han military uniforms and looked like his own people, but the night was too dark and I couldn't see the flag clearly. I didn't know which soldier they were.

"Brother, we came from Yuzhou to deliver supplies!" said an officer in the lead.

This person is Zhang Dingbian. He was about to approach the Han army camp, but he encountered a secret whistle in the Han army and could only deal with it patiently.
