Fushou was drinking tribute wine leisurely in his mansion, and the gold vessels in his hands rotated according to his mood. At this time, he felt that the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were just like the gold vessels in his hands.
Playthings are average.
Unlike many Mongolian nobles who looked down upon the common people, Fu Shou believed that the common people were as valuable as the gold in his hands, and could be exploited and blood-sucked by him at any time.
Thinking of the pride in his heart, Prime Minister Zuo Fushou couldn't help but laugh. He felt that he was the true king of the southern Yuan Dynasty, and all the people in the south would surrender before him.
Master Sui happened to enter Fu Shou's room at this time, and then heard Fu Shou's wild laughter. Master Sui was frightened and fell to his knees. It happened that his ugly appearance was clearly seen by the laughing Zuo Prime Minister Fu Shou.
Fushou looked at his "loyal dog" disdainfully, and then said boredly, "Master Sui, when did you come back?"
"Prime Minister...Prime Minister, this slave just came back!"
"Well! Is there anything unusual about that person named Suning?"
"Back to Prime Minister, Suning is very well-behaved!
All I can think about is how to make money!”
"Oh? Tell me in detail!" After hearing Master Sui's evaluation of Suning, Fushou stopped drinking and suddenly looked at Master Sui with some interest.
"Yes! Prime Minister!
In order to make the salt people work more, Suning deliberately gave them better food, and when the wages were paid, he only gave them five cents.
In order to increase the daily salt production, the working hours of the salt farmers were deliberately extended, and the foreman was asked to wake up the salt farmers sleeping in the work shed before dawn."
"etc!
Did you just say that Suning really only paid Yan people five cents as wages?
And what we used to give was ten cents?"
"Yes! Prime Minister!"
"The salt workers don't have any objections?"
"No! Even if there is, I have to hold it in!"
"Oh? Why is that?"
"It's all because Suning is such a ghost and deliberately uses food to lure the salt people to work more.
In the past, there were only two meals a day, but Suning gave the salt residents three meals. In this way, the salt residents could not express their opinions!
The mouths of the salt people have been blocked by Suning long ago!"
“Haha, you Han people are so good at doing business!
This is a trend that will completely drain the salt residents of the Jianghuai Salt Farm!"
"The Prime Minister is wise!
The Prime Minister is so kind.
Giving Suning and Chen Bo up to 20% of the profit will be enough for them to make a lot of money."
"Haha, don't worry!
If you want to eat mutton, you must first raise the sheep and fatten it!" Prime Minister Zuo Fushou proudly drank the cup in one gulp, as if what he drank was the wealth of the Chen and Su families.
"The Prime Minister is wise!"
"Master Sui, I heard that Suning has opened many handicraft workshops near the salt field?"
"Yes! Prime Minister!
Suning hired a woman and paid her only five cents a month.
The Longmen Escort Agency takes the made shoes and clothes to the big city and sells them at double the price!
A worker’s monthly salary is not even enough to buy a pair of shoes!”
"Haha, this is the genius of businessmen.
We, Dayuan, have always been open-minded, and we treat Suning, an honest person who abides by the law and does business very favorably."
"Replying to the Prime Minister, now the Longmen Escort Agency can no longer make ends meet.
They have begun to slowly shrink, and I heard that the business in Hangzhou has stopped!
I also met a lot of escorts at the Jianghuai Saltworks, and it seems that Suning is planning to let the escorts become salt residents."
"Oh! It seems that Suning is really honest!
And he is really smart!" After hearing Master Sui's report, Fushou smiled with satisfaction, and then was very satisfied with Suning who just wanted to "make money", "Master Sui, you have worked hard too!
Go down and rest!”
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
...
In recent days, two brothers, Zhang Shicheng and Zhang Shide, have been spreading rumors about the Longmen Escort Agency among the Yan people, but the response has been mediocre, which makes the two brothers very angry.
"Brother, something is wrong!
My mouth is almost dry, and the salt people will just giggle!" Zhang Shide looked helplessly at his eldest brother Zhang Shicheng.
"Hmm! It's really weird!
I feel like the salt people are nostalgic for the food at Longmen Escorts, after all, Longmen Escorts is too damn willing to give them food." Zhang Shicheng's side was also not going well, and he could only guess that the food was good.
"Uh? Brother, what should we do next?"
"damn it!
You will ask me, brother, what should I do?
Can't you make up your own mind?" Zhang Shicheng has been very afraid of his younger brother's words "Brother, what should we do?" recently, and he feels like he has a headache when he hears this.
"Uh..." Looking at the eldest brother who suddenly got angry, the younger brother felt aggrieved.
Zhang Shicheng also noticed his brother's grievance, knowing that he was not to blame for this matter, and then said in a sudden and helpless tone, "Shide, don't blame me for my bad tone!
It's true that now we have been forced into a desperate situation by the Longmen Escort Agency.
You may not know it yet!
The Longmen Escort Bureau hired Wuhu Navy Manzi Hague's giant ships to transport salt from the Jianghuai Salt Fields and quickly occupied the market in the Yangtze River Basin."
"Ah? Longmen Escort Agency is so powerful!
Then let’s have some fun!”
"Yes! We may have to find other ways out in advance."
"Ah? Brother, where do you think we should go?"
"I..." This was another hateful question. Zhang Shicheng really felt like he was worse off than dead. He didn't want to make his own decision in everything, "Hey! Just take it one step at a time!"
The suffering brothers at the end of the Yuan Dynasty were even more miserable than in the original time and space. The original time and space was only bullied by Meng Yuan's person in charge of the salt field, but now they are squeezed by Suning's Longmen Escort Bureau and have no living space.
Next, the Zhang brothers could only take more than 40 salt residents and wander around looking for opportunities, but they didn't know that they would really accomplish nothing if they left the blessed land of Jianghuai Salt Farm.
...
Suning's plan has been proceeding in an orderly manner. The Longmen Escort Bureau has all shrunk to the city within the plan, and then hidden in different places with different identities. They only waited for Suning's order to launch attacks on the defenders in various places in Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty.
After a long period of preliminary screening, one hundred thousand qualified salt people have been selected from the Jianghuai salt people, and they will become soldiers as soon as the time comes.
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
In the end, Suning wanted Liu Futong to rebel in advance, so he deliberately arranged for the Jin Yiwei to approach the White Lotus Sect, and then slowly came to Han Shantong and Liu Futong.
"Two immortal masters, my master is a loyal believer of the White Lotus Sect. He specially presented a thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver and three thousand sets of weapons and armor."
"What? So many!" Han Shantong was obviously very helpless and suddenly made a voice of surprise.
At this time, Liu Futong on the side was a little unhappy when he saw Han Shantong without a palace, and then looked at the visitor meaningfully, "Ahem! I think your master must have made a mistake!
We, the White Lotus Sect, don’t need any weapons or armor at all!”
"Haha, Master Liu Xian, why do you lie to a sincere believer!
My master is also considered to be in a high position, and he got the information that the White Lotus Sect is about to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty a long time ago.
It's just because my master is a loyal believer in the White Lotus Sect that he used means to help suppress you."
"What?" At this time, Liu Futong could no longer maintain his composure and began to panic along with Han Shantong.
"Haha, you two immortal masters should read this report letter first!" The visitor took out a letter and handed it to the panicked two people.
Han Shantong took the report letter from the visitor one step ahead of Liu Futong, and then Liu Futong showed his displeasure that was not easily noticed by others, which happened to be clearly seen by the visitor.
The person who came was a member of the Jinyiwei secretly established by Suning. Of course, the content in the report letter was also concocted by Jinyiwei. It was the White Lotus Sect information that Jinyiwei had collected near Yingzhou during this period.
Han Shantong looked at the contents of the report letter, his breathing became more and more rapid, and his face turned pale, "Futong, take a look!
It’s over now!
Something happened to us!"
Liu Futong directly took the report letter and read it for a while, his face gradually turned livid, because it was almost all the secrets of their White Lotus Sect, and even the various strongholds and warehouses of their White Lotus Sect were clearly known.
"Ahem! The two immortal masters don't need to be too anxious.
This report letter has been blocked by my master."
"Shh! That's good!" Han Shantong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the visitor's explanation.
"However, my master is worried that this person is still evil.
If you see that Meng Yuan has not responded for a long time, it is very likely that you will directly cross the line of my master and report it directly to the superiors, and then the White Lotus Sect will be in trouble!"
"Ah? What should we do?"
"Ahem! Master, do you have any advice?" Liu Futong quickly became sober after the initial panic, and then regained his former wisdom.
"Master Liu Xian, my master has said that we must stop being disturbed by him!"
"This..." Liu Futong and Han Shantong both knew clearly what the visitor meant, and then they looked at each other helplessly.
Just at this time, a White Lotus believer ran over in a hurry. When he saw Han Shantong and Liu Futong in the main hall, he knelt down and said, "Two immortal masters, something serious has happened!"
"Don't be anxious! Speak slowly!"
"Master Immortal, one of our strongholds in Henan was discovered by Mongolian soldiers, and a lot of food and weapons were confiscated from it."
"What?" This voice came from Han Shantong, Liu Futong and Jin Yiwei.
At this time, the Jin Yiwei people were really surprised, because this matter was not done by their Jin Yiwei at all. It seemed that the White Lotus Sect had aroused Meng Yuan's suspicion.
"Futong, it seems we have no choice but to rebel!" Han Shantong looked at Liu Futong with a wry smile.
"Well! Then our White Lotus Sect will rebel!" Liu Futong also knew that they had no way to retreat, so he could only say through gritted teeth.
In the eighth year of the Zhizhi Period, on December 12th, Han Shantong and Liu Futong resisted the tyranny of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in Yingzhou based on the White Lotus Sect. They took the name Red Scarf and were called the Red Scarf Army.
After the Red Scarf Army took control of Yingzhou, they conquered Shangcai, Zhengyang, Runan, Guangzhou and other places. It was like lighting a winter fire in the turbulent Yuan Dynasty, and soon swept through all parts of the Yuan Dynasty.
After hearing the news reported by Jin Yiwei, Suning was not happy for a long time. He once again heard that Xu Shouhui rebelled in Jingchun, Hubei Province, also known as the White Lotus Sect and the Red Turban Army.
Then Fang Guozhen from eastern Zhejiang also brought his pirates and raised the anti-Yuan flag. Then the Mongolian and Yuan armies rushed around to put out the fire. Unfortunately, the fire became more and more intense, and it had the momentum to burn the Central Plains Tartars.
.
Seeing the anti-Yuan uprising that was three years earlier than the original time and space history, Suning was really speechless at this time. It seemed that his time travel had caused some butterfly effects.
"Master, we can start now!"
"Well! In February of the ninth year of the Zhengzheng Period, the two dragons raised their heads, which is the day when we will fight against the Yuan Dynasty." Suning had already determined the day to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.
"Boss, do we also call ourselves the Red Turban Army?"
"No! To call the Red Scarf Army is to hide under Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui and others and let them protect us.
But once we occupy Jiqing and Gaoyou, we will become the life-or-death enemy of Meng Yuan, and we cannot hide them even if we want to!"
"My boss, what you said makes sense!
So what banner do we use?"
“Red Flag Army!
The flag is pure red and rectangular, with a length-to-width ratio of five to three."
"Ah? Red Flag Army?"
"Yes! I proclaim myself the commander of the Red Flag Army, and I have seven levels of divisions, divisions, regiments, battalions, companies, and squads.
A division has three to five regiments, each regiment has three to five battalions, each battalion has three to five companies, each company has three platoons, and each platoon has three squads.
There are 12 people in each row, one squad leader and one deputy squad leader.
The number of people is about 10,000."
"Batalion-level units will begin to set up a supervisor. Regiments, divisions, and corps must all have corresponding supervisors."
"Supervisor?" Li Shanchang was surprised.
"Yes! The ideological issue of supervising the army and supervising the troops.
There must be no delay in fighting, mutiny, or rebellion.
Specific battle matters are subject to the command of the commander, that is, the battalion commander, regiment commander and division commander."
"This... the owner has thought very carefully!"
After discussing the specific matters, the logistics work was completely handed over to Li Shanchang, and then Suning's wife was free and took care of the children in the back house every day.
Because she knew that something big was going to happen soon, it was safer to stay at home. However, Suning was not ready to let his wife take some time off. He had already arranged a more suitable job for her. Of course, this was the moment she stood firm.
What happens after celebrating the surrounding territories.
...
The Jianghuai Salt Farm has suddenly lost a lot of salt residents recently, and few people have noticed where they went. As for curious people who asked, they were told that they went to other salt farms.
In fact, these salt people have been quietly arranged around major cities. Some have already entered the city and are staying in the stronghold of the Longmen Escort Bureau. No one told them what they came for, and they were honest and did not dare to ask questions.
On the last day of the first month of the ninth year of Zhizheng, Chen Boda hurriedly came to the Wuhu Navy Dazhai again, met with the Yuan general Barbarian Hague, and presented him with a box of gold.
Barbarian Hague looked at a box of gold and could not help but salivate. If Chen Boda hadn't been there, he would have pounced on it immediately.
"Sir, you have to save me and my son-in-law this time!" Chen Boda looked at the money-obsessed Barbarian Hague and immediately burst into tears.
"Ah? What's going on?" Hearing Chen Boda's cry, Barbarian Hague woke up a little, and then he looked confused.
"Sir, there have been rebellions in many places recently, and my son-in-law and I no longer dare to stay in Chuzhou.
I just want to move my family to Jiqing Road as soon as possible. After all, Prime Minister Zuo is in charge there, so it will definitely be much safer."
"Haha, that's what happened!
These rebels are just clowns and nothing to worry about!
Boda, you can continue to stay in Chuzhou with peace of mind, the rebellion will soon be wiped out by our Mongolian and Yuan army."
"Eh? That's what the adults said!
But many people know that our Chen and Su family are very close to adults. In addition, our Chen and Su family have recently made some money in the Jianghuai Saltworks, which has long made others jealous.
Now someone has said that the Red Scarf Army will be the first to deal with our Chen and Su families."
"What? These people are so bold!
Boda, how many ships do you and your son-in-law need?"
"Sir, we need all the ships of the Wuhu Navy."
"What? Why do you need so many ships?" Barbarian Hague was shocked and looked at Chen Boda in disbelief.
"Sir, you don't know something.
Our Chen family has always been a wealthy family in the Jianghuai area, and we have accumulated countless wealth over the years.
There is also the villain's son-in-law, Suning, who has been doing business in Shandong for many years, and his family wealth is not inferior to that of our Chen family.
The most important thing is that my son-in-law likes to hoard grain, salt, and clothes and shoes produced by handicraft workshops.
It would be a pity if these things were cheaper than those of the Red Turban Army."
"Boda...you...are you saying that all this wealth will be moved to Jiqing Road?" Barbarian Hague felt that his breathing was getting faster and faster with Chen Boda's introduction, and he wanted to move it immediately.
The wealth of Chen and Su's family was swallowed up.
"Yes! Sir!
I hope you will make it happen!
After the work is completed, we are willing to give twice as much gold as today."
At this time, Barbarian Hague was no longer satisfied with the gold, because he no longer valued it. His mind was filled with the massive wealth of the Chen and Su families, and he just wanted to take it as his own as soon as possible.
"Yes! Boda, I agree to your request!
I will send all the ships of the Wuhu Navy to help the Chen and Su families tide over the difficulties."
"Thank you for your grace!" Chen Boda suppressed his inner surprise and thanked the money-obsessed Barbarian Hague.
"Alu Gray!"
"The general is here!" At this time, a general standing aside appeared and saluted the barbarian Hague.
"I order you to lead all the navy to Chuzhou City to help the Chen and Su families solve their difficulties.
Alu Hui, do you understand what I mean?" Barbarian Hague winked at Alu Hui.
Alu Hui was originally a fierce general under the command of Barbarian Hague. He quickly understood the meaning of his leader, and then respectfully accepted the order and said, "Yes! The general understands!"
Seeing that Aruhui understood what he meant, Barbarian Hague became happy and said, "Go down!"
"Yes! Sir!"
All the ships of the Wuhu Navy were dispatched together, which could be said to block out the sky and the sun. Soon they arrived at the dock of Chuzhou City. Alu Hui suddenly looked at Chen Boda.
"Dr. Chen, hurry up and load the ship!"
"Haha, general, don't be in a hurry!
It's getting very late now, so you might as well go to your house and have a rest first, it won't be too late to move tomorrow."
"Huh! I saw you were quite anxious at the adults just now.
Why is there no rush for time now?"
"The general didn't know something, and we didn't expect him to be so happy this time, so we weren't prepared.
The most important thing is that we want to take away the gold, silver and jewelry first, because these are the most valuable."
"Hmph! Okay!
Then we'll stay one night." Thinking of Barbarian Hague's arrangement, Alu Hui agreed.
But Alu Hui was not stupid. He just followed Chen Boda ashore with four soldiers. All the soldiers still stayed on the ship. It seemed that Alu Hui was still very defensive.
...
Alu Hui was brought to the house by Chen Boda, and he was served with good wine and delicious food. He also invited the top waiter from the fireworks place in Chuzhou City to serve Alu Hui. At this time, Alu Hui and his four soldiers had already
Unable to maintain his majesty, he soon fell into wine and beautiful women.
Chen Boda looked at General Meng Yuan's ugly appearance and sneered disdainfully, then looked at the Jin Yiwei who suddenly appeared beside him, "It's done here, let's start taking action at the dock!"
"Yes! Chief!"
Now Jin Yiwei has been arranged by Suning to be controlled by Chen Boda. Li Shanchang is busy with logistics work. With Chen Boda's instructions, Jin Yiwei is running like an efficient machine.
Chuzhou City, wharf.
"Who is it?" The Meng Yuan sailor in charge of the alert shouted loudly at the people on the shore.
"Haha, general, don't panic!
We were sent by General Aruhui to work.
We brought fine wine and delicious food, as well as the girls from Wangchun Tower in Chuzhou City."
"What? Just wait a minute!
I'll report it to our deputy general."
"Haha, General, do it yourself!"
Soon the deputy general of the navy ran out in disheveled clothes. Seeing the fine wines and delicacies and the posing beauties on the shore, he could no longer resist the greed and lust in his stomach.
Looking at the anxious navy soldiers around him, the deputy general couldn't help laughing, "Haha, it seems that General Aruhui still feels sorry for our brothers!
Come on, little ones!
Come here quickly and bring the wine and hug the beautiful woman!"
"Haha...Aw..." The soldiers, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately rushed forward with a "Ow" sound.
Soon a woman's scream came from the shore, "Ah... General... please be gentle!"
Looking at the happy soldiers, the deputy general couldn't help laughing again, "Haha..."
Jin Yiwei couldn't help but smile secretly when he saw that the fine wine, food, and women he had brought were all assigned to various ships, knowing that their operation was successful.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, before they had time to enjoy the women in their arms, the Meng Yuan navy soldiers all staggered and fainted.
"General, why are you so drunk?
Get up quickly and keep drinking!"
"Get out!" At this moment, a large number of young people in red uniforms suddenly appeared on the shore.
"ah......"
"Don't scream! Get aside!"
The women obediently covered their mouths, and then ran to the side of the ship. They did not dare to run around and scream. Seeing that the women calmed down, a large number of people had boarded all the ships on the dock, and then put Meng Meng on
