On March 10, the 23rd year of Zhizheng, Ruan Wen summoned four fleets back to Vijaya Port. There were originally more than one hundred people on board, but about seventy people were left. Zhi Pengxiao looked at their miserable appearance,

I had a bad premonition, so I asked, "You won't be attacked by the local indigenous people, will you?"

They shook their heads, and one of them said: "No, it is the punishment of Lord Poseidon."

"Poseidon's punishment? What is that?" Zhi Pengya asked.

"Your Majesty is protected by the gods, so you don't have to worry about anything. We who have offended Lord Poseidon somehow are lucky to have escaped death."

"What's going on?" Zhi Peng'a was still confused. How could this have anything to do with Poseidon?

"Your Majesty, look." Most of them have bleeding gums, and some even have bruised and oozing skin.

Zhi Peng was surprised when he saw it. Isn't this scurvy? It was caused by a lack of vitamin C due to long-term voyages at sea. Vitamin C can be quickly replenished by eating fruits.

They added: "Usually when we have symptoms like this, we stop and go to land to rest and rest. We usually recover quickly, but not this time. It's still the same when we return to land. It's probably because the Poseidon is too angry.

."

Zhi Pengyi said: "How can there be any gods in this world? The meaning of God's existence is just a sustenance. You can take two kilograms of oranges and go back to eat them. Come back when you are well."

Those people hesitated and said: "Huh? Eat oranges? Your Majesty, you are not kidding me."

Zhi Penghua said: "Is there any problem?"

Ruan Wenzhao said: "Your Majesty, it's not that there's anything wrong with oranges. Their question is, can oranges cure us?"

Zhi Pengwei said: "Don't worry, you will be fine if you eat oranges. It must be because you didn't find any vegetables on that continent, right?"

They nodded and said: "Yes, we circled the continent westward. It was fine at first, but the further we went down, the drier it became. Your Majesty, you may not believe it, we even saw the desert."

Zhi Pengma said: "What's wrong with this? The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders." Zhi Pengma also studied geography in his previous life. Because the Great Dividing Range blocks water vapor on the right bank of the continent, and the cold current in Western Australia cools and dehumidifies, the entire West

australian drought, desert

It occupies about 45% of the area. The climate of the remaining grasslands is not much better. It also has dry and wet seasons. Only the climate east of the Great Dividing Range is humid and suitable for living. These people go to dry places and cannot find fresh vegetables.

If you eat it, you will naturally become deficient in vitamin C.

Zhi Pengya asked them to relax and go back to cultivate with peace of mind. Those people naturally believed that Zhi Pengya was the incarnation of God. If they stayed by his side, Poseidon would give him face and let them go. Naturally, they were unwilling to do so.

Gone.

"Don't worry, I have already communicated with the water god Varuna. As long as you eat the oranges he made, you will be fine."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After a few people saluted, they left.

The divination newspaper has been on sale for 5 issues, and the foreign version of the divination newspaper has also been released for 2 issues. At present, there are divination newspapers in every corner of Khmer. The only thing left is to wait for the divination people to deliver it to your door in person.

When Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong arrived, Chen Youliang seemed unable to do what he wanted. Since the fall of Jiangzhou, Chen Youliang had been staying in Wuchang. If Wuchang fell again, it would be equivalent to being captured by others twice. Although the front line was fighting, he still focused on

To defend the capital, Xu Da made a big move to withdraw his troops and went straight back to Wuchang for support. As soon as Xu Da saw that his goal was achieved, he withdrew his troops from Wuchang and intercepted Chen Youliang's messenger along the way, thus cleverly tricking him back into the country.

After Li Wenzhong and Chang Yuchun had organized their troops and prepared to counterattack, Chen Youliang saw that the three generals had arrived, so he sued for peace and stopped fighting.

Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally happy. The top priority was to capture the city of Suzhou, and it would not be too late to deal with Chen Youliang later. Zhi Pengma looked at it and called him "good guy, is this the Ming history that I know so well?" Why did he beat Zhang Shicheng first and then Chen Youliang? No.

Defeat Chen Youliang and then beat Zhang Shicheng?

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang must not be worried about Chen Youliang, so he sent three generals to station directly in Jiangxi to intimidate Chen Youliang.

On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to write letters to Zhang Shicheng to persuade him to surrender, but Zhang Shicheng did not reply to any of his letters, as if nothing had happened.

Zhu Yuanzhang then did not restrain himself. He originally wanted to gain control of Suzhou City peacefully, but now Zhang Shicheng does not know how to praise him, so don't blame him for Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness. He brought in the artillery presented by Peng Yao, as well as the bronze gun originally invented in China.

Guns, prepare to destroy Suzhou City by force.

However, the city wall of Suzhou City is tall and strong, and the iron cannonballs of bronze fire cannons cannot hit a hole in the city wall. However, the artillery made by Penghua shines brightly on the battlefield. It is different from the impact that destroys the city wall.

It is an explosive type. Xiwu is currently researching this type of artillery shell. This kind of artillery shell is basically the same as a firecracker. After being fired, it will explode like a firecracker and produce power.

Although there were only a few artillery pieces with more than 100 shells, these 100 shells did blow a big hole in the wall of Suzhou City. Zhang Shicheng also used a bronze gun to fight back. In fact, the Yuan Dynasty had already invented explosive artillery. It seems that the Yuan Dynasty

People have a special liking for firearms, so they changed the trebuchet into a catapult, which greatly improved the efficiency of siege. However, it later turned into a trebuchet. I don't know if it lost the technology later or what happened.

The late Yuan Dynasty was also the golden period for the development of firearms in Chinese history. The rebels discovered the power of firearms and studied them frantically, hoping to use them to conquer China. Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang had already dismantled the naval cannons sold by the Champa people.

Zhenjing has basically mastered the skills of manufacturing naval guns. Therefore, the market share of naval guns in Xiwu has shrunk a lot. Of course, it may be due to lack of proficiency. The cost of manufacturing cannons in Xiwu and Chenhan is very high. Champa relies on its price

Advantages can still occupy a large part of the market share.

The Champa artillery is currently in use, so the craftsmen are naturally unable to study it. When the siege is over, give them a hundred and eighty guns and dismantle them! They can dismantle them all!

The Yuan army saw that the south was falling step by step and had no choice. The Wu army blocked them on the Yellow River's natural moat, making it impossible for them to pass. Chen Youliang naturally would not let the Yuan army pass. So the Yuan army turned to attack the next target and established Daxia.

The emperor Ming Yuzhen, Chen

Fortunately, Youliang and Zhu Yuanzhang at least only proclaimed themselves kings, but this Ming Yuzhen was so audacious that he dared to proclaim himself emperor. This was naturally intolerable. He sent a messenger through Tibet and asked the King of Liang to send Zaravalmi and Li Siqi to attack Shu.
