Chapter 84: Liu Futong sent messengers to make Zhu Yuanzhang king!?(2/3)
"What, King Chuyang?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was immediately stunned, and then he was overjoyed.
This is the title of king!
From ancient times to the present, it has been a great honor.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that if he could be granted the title of king, that would be a great deal. In this area of hundreds of miles, there were many marshals and generals of the rebel armies, but none of them would be granted the title of king. If he was granted the title of Chu
King Yang, it is justifiable to order the heroes. As for the two hundred thousand stones of food and grass, in fact, if you work hard to squeeze it out, it is not impossible to get it.
While Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, he suddenly felt a pain in his foot.
The force was so strong that Zhu Yuanzhang's face twitched in pain and he stood up with a snap.
"no!"
Zhu Yuanzhang reacted quickly and immediately took the opportunity to shout.
Zhu Han misjudged the strength of the kick just now, and now he said it quickly.
"That's right, Mr. Guan, this is an unacceptable request. We will not agree to it!"
When Guan Duo heard this, he was extremely surprised.
He continued to ask in an incredulous tone.
"Marshal Zhu, this is the king of Chuyang!"
Zhu Han was the first to say: "Mr. Guan, just because he is the King of Chuyang, we cannot accept it. Our brothers are here to kill the Tatars and do justice for heaven, not to become kings and enjoy happiness. This King of Chuyang, my brother is absolutely
I won’t agree!”
My elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded immediately, "Yes, we will not be the King of Chuyang. This is the marshal."
Seeing that he was in trouble, Guan Duo had no other options. In the end, he had no choice but to go back to the posthouse to rest and prepare to think about countermeasures before starting again.
After Guan Duo left, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately pulled Zhu Han and asked.
"Brother, that's the King of Chuyang, let's make him a king! Why not?"
Zhu Han smiled slightly and said, "Brother, don't you know that this Chuyang King has a price?"
"Two hundred thousand stones of food and grass is actually not a lot, and it's not like we can't get it out," Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Brother, it is precisely because of these two hundred thousand stones of food and grass that King Chuyang cannot have it!" Zhu Han said.
Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately confused and asked quickly: "What does this mean? Tell us quickly!"
Zhu Han then said: "Let's not talk about the two hundred thousand stones of food and grass. Let's talk about the title of King Chuyang. That is a big pit!"
"What a big pit!?"
"Now Meng Yuan has begun to organize various regiments to train troops to counterattack the rebels. The real bloody battle has just begun. With so many rebels, Meng Yuan is worried about where to start first. In the end, he will definitely attack the one with the loudest name first.
If you dare to claim the throne, you will never be able to escape."
"The first rafters will die first!" Zhu Yuanzhang understood immediately.
"Yes, that's the truth. Brother, we must keep three sentences in mind for our future strategies!" Zhu Han said very seriously.
"What three sentences?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked immediately.
"Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and slowly become king!" Zhu Han said with a serious face.
To describe it in one sentence, the anti-Yuan situation will become increasingly difficult in the future.
Although Bao Yuan, this behemoth, will die in the end, his various counterattack methods before death are quite powerful.
Anyone who suffers major damage will definitely pay a heavy price.
"Build the wall high, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king?"
The more my brother Zhu Yuanzhang thought about these three sentences, the more reasonable he felt.
Finally, he slapped his thigh and said with great emotion.
"These three sentences are so right. The most important thing is to take care of yourself first. The King of Chuyang is just a bullshit title!"
"Haha, brother, you are so right. When we are strong, there will be no need for Liu Futong to confer Chuyang King. You can be whatever king you want to be. Wouldn't it be more beautiful?" Zhu Han said with a smile.
"It makes sense. It's in our hearts. Then I'll send someone to send Guan Duo back to save him from making noise again!" Marshal Zhu said.
Regarding this method, Zhu Han went on to say.
"However, we are all rebels. If we don't help them at all, it would be unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally."
"Brother, how are you going to help?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Since Liu Futong is short of food, let's help him get some food and it will be ready soon," Zhu Han said.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately confused.
"Didn't you just say that you want to accumulate grain extensively, why don't you spend the 200,000 shi of grain?" Brother Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Brother, I said I was helping Liu Futong raise grain, but I didn't say I was collecting grain here in Chuzhou." Zhu Han said with a smile.
"Then what does this mean?"
"Although there was a major disaster and food shortage in Henan, the cities and fortresses occupied by the Yuan army had already plundered sufficient food and grass. If the rebels could quickly break through several cities and prevent the Yuan army from burning the food and grass warehouses, they would be able to seize many of them.
We are short of food." Zhu Han said.
"This makes sense. What should we do specifically?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked quickly.
The Red Scarf Army fought in the Central Plains of Henan. Except for the battles involving internal support in the city, they all relied on brute force to attack. In addition to serious casualties, they often gave the Yuan army in the city enough time to burn the grain and grass treasury before the city fell.
"Support Liu Fu with a batch of new gunpowder, and then send people to teach them hole attack and blasting!" Zhu Han said.
Who would have known that when these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction was even greater than when he heard about two hundred thousand shi of grain!
Brother Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly and waved his hands vigorously.
"This is not okay!"
"Brother, this is our secret skill, how can we teach it to others?"
It was precisely because of the hole attack and blasting method that Zhu Yuanzhang led the rebel army to conquer Haozhou and Dingyuan in only three days. Such a rapid attack could hardly be stopped by any fortified city.
In the Central Plains of Henan, the soil there is more suitable for digging tunnels, and is more suitable for tunnel blasting than here in Huaixi.
"Brother, there is never any invincible tactic. Our acupoint attack and blasting technique can be used all over the world. If the Tatars figure it out in the future and use it for raids, it will definitely not be so effective. It is better to teach Liu Futong earlier.
Let them make a louder noise, and the more violent they make, the greater the loss will be to Meng Yuan, and the safer we will be," Zhu Han said.
The power of hole attack blasting is indeed huge, but if the defenders intercept it earlier with tunnels, the effect of surprise victory will be greatly reduced.
Rather than holding this tactic in hand until it becomes outdated, it would be better to let Liu Futong use it to harm the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty early.
After Zhu Han's persuasion, his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang finally agreed.
As for who should be appointed as the master of hole attack and blasting, it must be Zhou Dexing. Hu Yiba's status as a tomb robber is too bad, and he will be easily looked down upon.
When Zhou Dexing learned about this order, as expected, he immediately became excited.
"Marshal, I don't like this!"
"This is our top secret, how can we teach it to others?"
"Even if I resist military orders, I won't listen!"
Facing Zhou Dexing's stubbornness, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dumbfounded.
Zhou Dexing, who has the title of Demolition Maniac, has already been prepared to guard top secrets for his whole life.
Now it's good, the Zhu Han brothers actually asked him to teach Liu Futong?
It was simply worse than killing him.
However, after Zhu Han's persuasion, Zhou Dexing finally changed his mind.
"Brother Zhou, after we captured Chuzhou, we haven't had the chance to use acupoint blasting for a long time. Aren't you afraid that your skills will be wasted?"
"We might as well take this opportunity to conquer more Tatar cities, kill more Tatars, and practice our skills more."
"When the time comes, wouldn't it be better if you teach Liu Futong and the others their old skills, and then you can come up with a better method through actual combat?"
Faced with Zhu Han's eloquent words, Zhou Dexing was naturally unable to resist.
After all, this acupoint blasting method was given to him by Zhu Han, and Zhou Dexing would not accept death too much.
When he saw Guan Duo again the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang told Guan Duo about the matter.
"What, Marshal Zhu wants to give me the method of quickly breaking through the city wall?" Guan Duo was greatly surprised when he heard this.
Nowadays, even if you are a carpenter with some skills, you keep them hidden, hoping that you will pass them on to men instead of women, and no man will be brought into the coffin.
Zhu Yuanzhang was lucky enough to show off his unique stunt, which surprised Guan Duo.
"Yes, if the generalissimo can have this method, he will definitely be able to occupy a few more cities and seize a large amount of food and grass. Otherwise, we can't get the food and grass and we can't be of much help. I feel very sorry!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Seeing this, Guan Duo thought to himself: Zhu Yuanzhang still has some conscience as a fellow rebel. He thought of several poisonous plots last night, so I won't use them on you for the time being.
"In this case, let's go and see it quickly, okay?" Guan Duo said immediately.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Han next to him.
Zhu Han smiled slightly, nodded and said.
"Brother, Mr. Guan, I have ordered people to be ready. You can go and see him at any time!"
