Chapter 452: Yu Tonghai being left hanging
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally nodded slowly and said, "Everyone is a brother who fights side by side on the battlefield. We know your charisma and loyalty and courage in our hearts, and you don't need to argue.
However, Yingtian needs to deal with the two thief leaders Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang. Wang Baobao from the north is also eyeing him. The situation is really not good. If everyone cannot cooperate with each other, they are afraid of the danger of overthrowing.
In this way, after Xu Da returned, he set a demand for gunpowder and delivered it to Huoshan. Although Zhu Zhen was domineering, he would not be ignorant of the overall situation. As for money, he would be spared.
As for Chang Yuchun, you really owe Zhu Zhentian a great favor. I heard that the Chang family members who stayed in Huai'an had many illegal people who ruined the reputation of our Red Turban Army. All of these require us to give him some compensation.
You have been training the 100,000 battalion for a while, and you have selected elite officers from them and given them to Huai'an.
Soldiers need to move to avoid some people from growing up unjust and harming my relationship with that boy Zhu Zhen.”
"Affect the order."
Xu Da felt very beautiful and quickly agreed.
As soon as Zhu Zhen stabilized in Huai'an, he began to change the firearms of the soldiers in Junshan. If he gave him enough time, wouldn't he even be able to arm the entire Yingtian lineage?
As long as you think about your soldiers, you can shoot and kill your opponents from afar when fighting against the enemy, Xu Da feels very satisfied.
Next to Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen sighed secretly.
At present, these people are conquering the world side by side with Zhu Yuanzhang. Although they have shown enough respect for Zhu Yuanzhang, they are also selfish and intrigue.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang puts the overall situation first and foremost, but when he reaches that position one day, whoever is down-to-earth and has little thoughts on the country, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely give them enough feedback.
And these rewards are either glory or prison.
However, in this battle, the military mountains represented by Cheng Yaojin and Chang Yuchun's 100,000 battalion were all suffered heavy losses.
The one who gained the most was undoubtedly Xu Da who was devoted to serving the public.
Only Liu Bowen seemed to be doing the whole process.
He is Zhu Yuanzhang's think tank, and he cannot have too many personal emotions, nor will he participate in the wrestling of such generals.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood and continued to ask: "Can Yu Tonghai set off for Huai'an?"
Xu Da responded: "I set off early in the morning."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded when he heard this.
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely satisfied with Zhu Zhen’s actions in Huai'an, but Zhu Zhen’s unscrupulous character still made him feel at ease.
The establishment of the Maritime Trade Department was clearly a snatch of interests with the Huai'an family. How could those families that have always regarded sea trade as a ban on food? They sat down and watched Zhu Zhen establish the Maritime Trade Department?
Once the Huaian family has any extraordinary practices, with Zhu Zhen's temper, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not respond fiercely.
Yu Tonghai is mature and steadfast, and it is impossible for Zhu Zhen to be in a slewy relationship. One of them is enterprising and the other is steady and mature, just in time to restrain each other and complement each other.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Whether the decree to allow the Huai'an Navy to set up a special Huai'an Manufacturing Bureau has been issued? The central consultation has been approved, so don't delay it."
Liu Bowen personally handled these matters: "The order that the Duke of Returning to China and granting Xuyi County Bo's request has been issued, and a group of craftsmen have been sent to ensure that Huai'an's production forces will not be stretched."
The sound of guns in the "Manufacturing Administration" is constantly being tested, and the gunners are being trained.
Most of the soldiers and civilians in Qu County not only did not know what the artillery was, but were panicked by the sound of cannons in the "Manufacturing Bureau", but they thought it was "the earth dragon turning over"... The navy's warships were constantly in and out of the sky, and were practicing for a while.
There are only four new warships. The warships under construction in the dock have keels and the hull has begun to take shape, but it will take about a month to complete.
There are twenty warships in this batch, and thirty cargo ships at the same time, all of which are Zhu Zhen’s “treasure pots”... According to Zhu Zhen’s plan, the military port and the navy are part of the “Huai’an Navy” as a whole and are his private property of Zhu Zhen.
However, the Maritime Manufacturing Bureau and the Manufacturing Bureau needed to build the land in Qu County, which was equivalent to a yamen of the court, which meant that Zhu Zhen contributed his efforts to Yingtian free of charge.
However, although Qu County is not Zhu Zhen’s fiefdom, the important salt yard and shipyard are Zhu Zhen’s private property.
Although most of the ship workers in the shipyard have a background of Yingtian, craftsmen are not valuable these days, and no one cares about their stay or stay! In Zhu Zhen's mind, the status of the shipyard is naturally countless levels higher than that of the salt field. Even if the salt field sells a huge amount of money of more than 10 million taels at once, it will continue to create wealth in the future... Not to mention that the shipyard carries Zhu Zhen's dream of conquering the deep blue, just from the perspective of creating profits, it will not be inferior to the salt field at all! The shipyard is Zhu Zhen's, and the Huai'an Navy is also Zhu Zhen.
Yes, if Zhu Yuanzhang's navy wants to equip the new warships built by the shipyard, he must pay to buy them! Merchant ships built with the concept of new sailing are suitable for ocean transportation. After the Maritime Bureau is operated, they will inevitably become products that merchants are flocking to! Shipyards and iron plants, in this era, are equivalent to the heavy industry of a country. For Zhu Zhen, who has great ambitions, they must be in his own hands so that they can make rapid progress with their own knowledge beyond the times and will not be restricted everywhere.
At this moment, the new Huai'an Provincial Deputy Ping Zhang Yu Tonghai arrived by water.
Yingtian's warship went east along the water vein and headed straight to Lianyungang. Five large ships rode the wind and waves. The ship was full of Yu Tonghai's family generals and servants, with bright helmets and bright armors and fierce momentum.
But when the fleet arrived at the dock of Lianyungang, Zhang Rong, who was standing at the bow of the boat, had a cloudy face and almost broke out on the spot! The boats and boats on the port were like clouds, and the bustling and cargo on the dock were like mountains, which was a prosperous scene.
However, no one looked at him. In the whole of Qu County, no one came to greet him, Pingzhang, the deputy director of Huai'an Province.
Yu Tonghai stood at the bow of the boat, both angry and helpless.
He had a grudge with Zhu Zhen because this guy blocked his path to promotion. Now that he had become his subordinate, he would not have resigned his grudge. Naturally, he would not expect Zhu Zhen to have any respect for him when he came to Qu County.
In fact, it was precisely because of the hatred between the two that Yu Tonghai was able to get the position of Deputy Pingzhang of Huai'an Province, otherwise it would not be his turn from where to say it! But he is an old man from Yingtian's lineage, and Deputy Pingzhang of Huai'an Province appointed by Yingtian. As the chief official, you, Zhu Zhen, must at least maintain the rules on the surface, right?
But who knew that he was a kid who really dared not to miss him, even Yu Tonghai didn't show up on his first day of office! This was to put Yu Tonghai's face on the ground and step on it with his feet... He was so angry that Yu Tonghai was also blinded.
Shangguan completely ignored the new deputy who treated the rules of the officialdom as nothing, let alone saw it, but he had never heard of it! He was confused now. Not only did Zhu Zhen not come, but there was no one to greet him, whether he was Huai'an or Qu County. What should he do next?
He went to Zhu Zhen in shame and submitted the official seal to the clerk and said that he was here to take office?
What if Zhu Zhen still disappears?
There are hundreds of family members who brought me, so where can I live?
Are you just staying on the boat and floating on Lianyungang?
Yu Tonghai has a sinister temperament, and most sinister people have good brains. In an instant, he found himself in an extremely unfavorable situation.
As the new deputy of Huai'an Province, if he didn't even have a place to rest on his first day, Yu Tonghai would soon become a big joke among Yingtian's generals. Maybe someone who is a good man can even record this strange story into the classics and record it in history. Yu Tonghai is the laughing stock of Qianqiu... It's so bad! Yu Tonghai almost bit his teeth and greeted Zhu Zhen's ancestors eight generations! It's anger that cannot solve the problem.
The "adopted sons" around him stopped doing it and started to curse.
"Is this Zhu Zhen seeking death?
He didn't even come to welcome the commander!"
"This boy is abominable! The commander is an old minister of the Duke and the commander of the Chaohu Naval Army. He is a small count who even makes a name for himself?
I definitely want him to look good!"
"Master, this son intends to embarrass you, his intention is to be punished! Why would the child lead a battalion of dead soldiers tonight and attack him while he is at night!"
Yu Tonghai has been through a long battle formation and treated his soldiers very well in the army. He accepted 500 adopted sons. When he was in the army, he called him the commander and respected his father in private.
These adopted sons were all elite brave men in the army. When they saw their adopted father being humiliated by Zhu Zhen, they were all indignant and shouted.
This time, in order to prevent accidents, Yu Tonghai brought a total of 200 people to come... Yu Tonghai thought for a while and said, "Don't talk nonsense! If we make a fuss, we may have just happened to be Zhu Zhen's trick! This guy seems to be arbitrary, but in fact he is insidious and cunning, so he needs to be careful."
He couldn't suppress the tone in his heart, but what if he didn't suppress it?
He was a first-timer and the entire Qu County was Zhu Zhen's confidant, and Zhu Zhen was his superior. He was at a disadvantage in both nominal and strength. He rashly caused trouble, but he was the only one who suffered losses.
The adopted sons were angry, but they did not dare to refute Yu Tonghai's words. They all looked angry for a moment.
These guys relied on Yu Tonghai's power to be rampant for many years. How could they let it go by being so humiliated by Zhu Zhen?
Yu Tonghai waited at the dock for a while, and saw that no one was coming to greet him, his anger gradually couldn't be suppressed. He had a blue face and waved his hand and said, "Since Zhu Zhen cannot come, then handsome will go to see him in person!"
The adopted sons were shocked and all dissuaded: "How can the general in charge be demoted to himself like this?"
Yu Tonghai said angrily: "Can you be watched by workers here?"
Their ship was sailing high and was very eye-catching when docked on the pier. At this time, many workers and merchants working on the pier seemed extremely curious and whispered.
Yu Tonghai didn't want to be the object of being mocked by others... The adopted sons shut up and got off the boat with Yu Tonghai.
Standing on the boat and looking at Quxian in front of me, I just felt that construction was everywhere, labor was everywhere, and there were a prosperous scene.
Only when you get off the boat and stand on the dock and completely integrate into it can you feel the bustling crowd and vigorous vitality.
Looking at the busy warehouse of the Maritime Manufacturing Corporation in front of him, Yu Tonghai frowned slightly and asked a thin old man beside him: "Is this Haizhou Qu County?"
The old man was a Huaian person specially recruited by Yu Tonghai during this trip. He was familiar with the customs of Huaian and was also from a noble family.
The old man also felt the scene in front of him was a little shocked, nodded, and said, "This place is indeed Haizhou, but this place in Qu County is hit by typhoons every year. The land is made up of silt by the Yangtze River and is soaked in seawater. It is mostly a saline-alkali land, extremely barren, and there are no people within a hundred miles.
But at some point, so many craftsmen gathered and built such a huge pier..." He left home when he was a teenager and went on a journey in Yingtian, achieving nothing.
Now that I returned to my hometown that I had been away from for many years, I was shocked by the changes of life... Yu Tonghai nodded silently.
In Yingtian, I occasionally heard that Zhu Zhen played a big game in Qu County, building a wharf, a military port, a preparation for the Maritime Bureau, and even established a naval school to train water war talents. I never thought it was true.
Now that I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that Zhu Zhen had done a great job! This kid's way of making money in the economy is indeed no match for the world... Yu Tonghai restrained his contempt and pointed to a worker not far away and said, "Go and bring this person and order him to lead the way for us to go to the Qu County Office."
"Abide by the order!"
Immediately, two adopted sons who had already been eager to try rushed over, first kicked the laborer who had a bag of cement down, then carried his collar and kept it, and asked loudly: "Can you know the official office of Qu County?"
The worker was confused. What happened to these two people? He was carrying the hemp bag and how could he kick someone up?
He shouted, "Who are you waiting for?"
Is there any king's law to beat me for no reason?”
The two adopted sons laughed strangely, and one of them said arrogantly: "Wang Fa?
Our commander is the king's law!"
The other person had already raised his hand, and "slap" was just a few slaps.
They were all brave men in the army, with great strength. In just a few strokes, the worker's nosebleeds, the corners of his mouth broke, and he screamed loudly.
This made the hornet's nest burst. The dock was bustling with laborers. They were all busy working. After all, jobs such as carrying macaque bags were paid for pieces, and no one had the heart to speak.
However, Zhu Zhen’s production team plan is divided into intimate relationships such as region, blood ties, etc. The production team now carries macau is from a valley in Qingzhou. They are all related to each other and are very close. When they see their family being beaten for no reason, how can they watch from one side?
"Hula" dozens of people in the entire production team threw away the bags, and rushed over, accusing them: "Who are you? How can you hit people at will?"
The two adopted sons were shocked and thought that the people in this place were quite in harmony, but Yu Tonghai stood behind them, so he naturally had no fear. Not only was he not afraid, he cursed: "Why, is it so good that he can turn the world?
The old man's hands are itchy, but he just likes to hit people, but he doesn't accept it?
If you don’t agree, I will endure it. Who dares to call again? It’s okay to beat me!"
The workers were shocked, why was this man so arrogant?
Furthermore, some people found that Yu Tonghai and others came down from the large ships that had just approached the dock. They were obviously not ordinary people, so they felt relieved.
However, his family is still in the hands of others, so he cannot let it go... The laborer dared not say harsh words, but he did not leave, and he was stalemate.
Chapter completed!
