Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 91 Expulsion of the Tartars, starting with the division of the land by the local tyrants

"Pingzhang, what happened?"

Bolu sat down with a gloomy expression, and said to Fan Yao.

"Oh, this is really bad!"

"Pingzhang, what happened?" Fan Yao asked.

"Your Majesty learned that we repelled the red scarf thieves, Long Yan is very happy, and wants to add officials to you and me!" Bolu said.

"Ah? Isn't this a good thing?" Fan Yao wondered.

"Not only to add officials, but also to send another envoy, who wants to summon Lu Deshui, the head of the Liuhe Behavior Capital!" Bolu said.

As soon as these words came out, Fan Yao was immediately confused.

"Pingzhang, what is the head of all Liuhe thieves, what is Lu Deshui?" Fan Yao asked hastily.

Bolu showed an embarrassed expression, "When I gave the memorial to the court, didn't I want to talk about recruiting strong men to attack the red scarf thieves, I just slightly exaggerated the battle situation and wrote the name of Lu Deshui."

Ok!

Fan Yao already understood that Bolu must have boasted so much in the memorial, that he took the Supreme Emperor seriously, and even sent someone to summon the loyal people.

"Pingzhang, is there really Lu Deshui?" Fan Yao asked.

"Well, there is! However, he is a bandit in the waterway near Liuhe, and he is not loyal." Bolu said.

"Oh, that's too bad! Wouldn't the imperial court have revealed their secrets by sending people here?" Fan Yao said worriedly.

They gave all the money and food to the red scarf thieves as a ransom fee for buying their lives, and they also found some gangsters like Lu Deshui as fake accounts.

Now that the imperial court sent envoys, all they needed was a confrontation, and everything had to be revealed.

"Pingzhang, how did you praise him in the memorial?" Fan Yao asked.

"I just said that Lu Deshui was invincible in the quarrying battle against the bandit Zhu Yuanzhang. He not only killed hundreds of bandits, but also shot and wounded Zhu Yuanzhang, forcing the bandits to retreat!" Bolu said.

This is Bolu's own selfishness.

He intends to exaggerate his record, but as the commander, he has never been on the battlefield. Even a Mongolian nobleman does not understand the specific battle at all, so he can only calm down the miscellaneous dramas he hears every day, and make up a battle process .

Unexpectedly, the Zhizheng Emperor, who was also trapped in the Dadu Palace, was also a fan of miscellaneous dramas.

As soon as Emperor Zhizheng saw Bolu's memorial, he was immediately attracted by Lu Deshui's bravery.

"Hey! What can we do then!" Fan Yao panicked.

"Why don't we send someone to recruit the real Lu Deshui and let him show off?" Bolu said.

Fan Yao thought about it, but felt that this method was not very good.

Not to mention whether the real Jiangyang thief Lu Deshui was willing to surrender and recruit, even if he obediently recruited, as soon as he saw the emperor's envoy, he would reveal his secrets within a few words.

Jiang Yang's bandit, and the unparalleled titan boasted by Bolu, are two different things.

"What should I do!" Berlu immediately wanted to slap himself twice.

Fan Yao thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't have a charter.

"Things are already like this, let's go to Liu Bowen to discuss a countermeasure!" Fan Yao said suddenly.

The two of them now trust Liu Bowen very much.

From proposing to lobby the red scarf thieves to withdraw, to helping them raise food, grass and money, and stabilizing the situation, Liu Bowen has left nothing behind.

Chuzhou.

Since the Jiangnan Jiqing mansion came back, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han brothers have completely realized the freedom of wealth in their hands.

100 million taels of silver, plus 100 million shi of grain, and 40 silk cloth.

Zhu Yuanzhang's Red Scarf Army can almost live comfortably for two years, and even have a large amount of money to support some scholars who have taken refuge in them as officials to assist him.

In just a few days, deputy commander Zhu Han killed the barbarian Hague and defeated the Yuan army in Chuzhou. The news of the victory of the commander Zhu Yuanzhang's [-]-strong battle against Jiangnan has spread throughout the Jiangbei area of ​​Henan.

A large number of scholars, after hearing the news, let go of their last hope for the Mongolian and Yuan courts.

"The strength of the great vitality is exhausted, and the heroes are vying for the throne. It is time for us to make meritorious deeds and seal our wives and sons!"

This is the long-cherished wish of many scholars, and they came to seek refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang one after another.

Not only scholars, but many armed forces such as robbers and water bandits on both sides of the Yangtze River also came to seek refuge one after another, wanting to rely on the prestige of Marshal Zhu Yuanzhang of Longxing.

However, regarding the refuge of these bandits and water bandits, Zhu Yuanzhang followed Zhu Han's suggestion.

All the robbers and water bandits who seek refuge must hand over their own soldiers and horses, reorganize and distribute them, and can no longer maintain their original strength. Command the army again.

Zhu Han didn't have any trust in these green forest bandits, and he absolutely couldn't let them tarnish the reputation of the Red Turban Army.

really.

Once Zhu Han's suggestion was implemented, only a very small number of green forest heroes agreed and accepted the reorganization of the Red Turban Army.

In less than a month, the entire Chuzhou had already cleared away the haze of the previous war, and it was full of vitality.

Seeing that the hearts of the people and the army have been stabilized, Zhu Han began to suggest to Zhu Yuanzhang that he implement the plan of "beating local tyrants and dividing the land".

Using the accusations of "Tongmengyuan", "traitor", and "national scum" to overthrow some tyrants who do evil and hold land, and then divide their land among the poor and establish a new interest group that supports the Red Scarf Army .

Zhu Yuanzhang had already agreed, and he also deeply agreed with Zhu Han's suggestion.

"Brother, both of us are from bitter backgrounds, and we hate these bullies and tyrants. If we can really make the poor people turn around, then we can be regarded as worthy of our dead parents and our own conscience." Zhu Yuanzhang said with emotion.

"Brother, what you said is so right. Most of the people in this world are from poor backgrounds. They may not be able to read or understand anything, but they are also living people, and they also have their own ideas. Who is right? They are good, whoever treats them badly, the poor know it all, and we get their support, which is much better than recruiting a few scholars to join the army!" Zhu Yong said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang also deeply agrees.

Since they want to fight the local tyrants to divide the land, it is natural to start with Chuzhou.

Lu Wendao, a powerful man from Chuzhou, and others are still in prison. They are all charged with defecting to the enemy, and they happen to be ready-made live targets.

only.

Zhu Han's personal responsibility for "dividing the local tyrants and dividing the land" had just begun to prepare, and Zhu Yuanzhang was about to leave Chuzhou again.

Liu Futong, the leader of the Red Turban Army in Yingzhou, sent a letter.

"Liu Futong is going to summon all the marshals to Yingzhou, and intends to elect Xiao Ming Wang Han Lin'er as emperor!" Zhu Yuanzhang said while reading the letter.

Zhu Han was shocked when he heard this.

"What, did Liu Futong find Han Lin'er?"

This is somewhat different from history.

In history, Han Lin'er had been hiding here and there for several years before being found by Liu Futong.

"Well, the letter said that we have found it, so it seems that we can't go to Yingzhou." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Although he can't be regarded as the most powerful and prestigious marshal in the Red Turban Army, he is definitely one of the strongest in terms of overall strength.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang be missing from such activities as supporting the new emperor.

"Well, of course we have to go. Once Han Lin'er proclaims himself emperor, he will have a great reputation. If we don't go, we will lose many benefits." Zhu Han nodded.

They did their best for Liu Futong's Red Scarf Army.

It also sent people to deliver good news, food and military pay, and even Zhou Dexing, an 'explosive expert', was sent to guide the operation.

Now that Liu Futong led the crowd to support Han Lin'er as emperor, he must reward him generously.

If Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't go, it will be too bad.

"Then if I go, there won't be any danger for you to stay in Chuzhou, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang said worriedly.

The last time I went north to support the Haozhou Red Scarf Army, the barbarian Hague led the army to attack.

Zhu Yuanzhang already had lingering fears, worried about the safety of his brother Zhu Han.

"Haha, brother, don't worry about it! Meng Yuan is no longer a strong army in the south of the Yangtze River. I am afraid that even some green forest bandits can't be wiped out. How could he still have the ability to cause trouble? Let's not go It's not bad to trouble them." Zhu Han said with a smile.

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, it was indeed the case.

They just went to Jiqing Mansion to blackmail Qiufeng. If Meng Yuan had troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, how could he agree to their conditions.

"In this case, you will be in charge of Chuzhou's military and political affairs. You will lead [-] model troops to garrison Chuzhou, and we will leave Xu Da to lead an army of [-] to garrison Liuhe, and take care of the door for you!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Han's [-] new troops were already well-known after the last Chuzhou victory.

Zhu Yuanzhang personally ordered it to be named "Model Army", which means that all soldiers of the rebel army can be regarded as a model.

"Okay, with these troops, I can safely and boldly let go!" Zhu Han said.

Two days later.

Zhu Yuanzhang led the main force to return to Dingyuan City first, and then continued northward to Yingzhou, to the headquarters of the Red Scarf Army to discuss the important event of supporting the new emperor.

Zhu Han personally sat in Chuzhou again, and started his long-planned "strike the local tyrants and divide the land".

In Chuzhou, the office of the red scarf military officer.

Chen Baodao and Hu Yiba, as Zhu Han's two assistants, are reporting to him.

"Deputy Marshal, now the criminal evidence of Lu Wendao and other traitors has been interrogated clearly, and they are all here!" Chen Baodao said.

I saw Chen Baodao wearing a brand-new official uniform, looking majestic and majestic, as if he had changed completely.

"Copy a thousand copies of all the criminal evidence of the traitors like Lu Wendao, no, copy two thousand copies, and post them in all towns and villages inside and outside Chuzhou. I want all the people to see the faces of these gentry scum." Zhu Han said.

Zhu Han's fight against the local tyrants to divide the land is not only to kill people, but also to punish their hearts.

It is logical for Zhu Han to carve up their land and property in terms of reputation and reputation.

In this way, those powerful landlords who supported the Red Turban Army would not react too much with fear.

"As ordered, the last general will do it immediately!" Chen Baodao said.

Afterwards, Hu Yiba stepped forward and said again.

"Deputy Commander, the number of disabled, old and weak people in the army you asked me to count has already been counted. Please take a look at it, Deputy Commander!"

After Hu Yiba finished speaking, he took out a form from his pocket.

Zhu Han took it over and looked at it, and he was quite satisfied.

After several battles, many soldiers in the Red Turban Army were injured and could no longer continue fighting.

They basically stayed in Chuzhou, waiting for the distribution of land.

However, Zhu Han felt that these wounded and veterans were a precious asset, and they must not be wasted so easily.

He asked Hu Yiba to count the number of people.

"Hu Yiba, go and gather these people here, I want to arrange new errands for them!" Zhu Han said.

"Follow the command!" Hu Yiba hurried over.

Since the local tyrants are going to be attacked and the land distributed, it is necessary to arouse public opinion.

These wounded and veterans have already quit the rebel army, and they are considered the best atmosphere group among the common people.

Zhu Han intends to give them some preferential treatment, so that they can support and respond to some policies of the rebel army, and make them the mainstay of the rebel army among the common people.

Destined to fight the local tyrants vigorously to divide the fields, it will start in Chuzhou soon!
Then, he began to order Chen Baodao and others to bring the land title deeds confiscated by several tyrants.

Zhu Han has already made preparations in the city of Chuzhou, and he can start to divide the fields with local tyrants soon.

At this time, Xu Da, who was stationed in Liuhe ahead, sent Lu Zhongheng to report.

Lu Zhongheng is a good young man who joined the army, and was recommended by Zhu Han to serve under Xu Da's account and also act as a liaison between Chuzhou and Liuhe.

"Deputy Commander, a man named Liu Bowen came to Liuhe and said he wanted to see the Deputy Commander!" Lu Zhongheng said as soon as he saw Zhu Han.

"Liu Bowen?"

Zhu Han didn't know what Liu Bowen wanted to do when he came to see him.

Could it be that Liu Bowen has already thought about it, and plans to join the rebel army at this time?

"Letter to me!"

Zhu Han took the letter and opened it to check.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Han, Xu Da and Tang He knew about the secret transactions with the Jiangnan Mengyuan officialdom.

The name Liu Bowen is naturally inconspicuous.

"Okay, go back immediately and invite that Liu Bowen here." Zhu Han said after reading the letter.

"Of order, deputy commander!" Lu Zhongheng said respectfully.

Xu Da didn't say the specific reason in the letter, but said that Liu Bowen really wanted to meet Zhu Han in person because of something important.

That being the case, Zhu Han also waited for Liu Bo to come.

Get on the road quickly, and in just one day, Liu Bowen has arrived in Chuzhou.

As soon as he saw Zhu Han, the travel-worn Liu Bowen immediately cut to the chase.

"Deputy Marshal, Liu Ji is here to ask for something!" Liu Bowen said.

Zhu Han smiled slightly and invited Liu Bowen into the inner hall.

"Sir, I don't know the reason for your sudden visit?" Zhu Han said calmly.

At this time, there were no idlers in the room, so Liu Bowen naturally spoke freely.

"Deputy Marshal, to be honest, I'm here this time to beg you on behalf of Zhang Bolu, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ping." Liu Bowen said.

"Oh, beg me for Bolu, what's the matter?" Zhu Han asked.

It turned out that in his memorial to Emperor Meng Yuan, Bolu bragged about a great general named Lu Deshui.

This Lu Deshui was a bragging guy, but Emperor Mengyuan admired him so much that he sent someone to summon Lu Deshui to reward him and draw a portrait.

How could Pingzhang Bolu of Jiangsu and Zhejiang let the emperor's envoy see Lu Deshui? That would be completely revealing.

Therefore, Bolu and Fan Yao immediately found Liu Bowen to find a way.

The solution that Liu Bowen came up with was also simple.

Since Emperor Meng Yuan wanted to see Lu Deshui, he should find a way to make Lu Deshui shut up forever.

Anyway, he is a gangster who does evil, and when he dies, he dies.

However, in the report to the Mongolian Yuan court, it can only be said that Lu Deshui was attacked by the Red Turban Army, and then died in a fierce battle.

However, this Lu Deshui has impressive strength. He has crossed the Yangtze River for many years, and his soldiers are not five thousand, but two thousand.

The soldiers and horses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were almost wiped out by the Red Scarf Army, and Zhang Shicheng's rebellion in the downstream intensified, and the remaining troops had to guard Jiqing Mansion and not go out.

After all the calculations, the only ones who have the strength to eliminate Lu Deshui and the others are the Red Turban Army in Chuzhou, Jiangbei.

After listening to Liu Bowen's words, Zhu Han was speechless for a while.

"Sir, does Bolu really regard me as a friend?" Zhu Han said.

Liu Bowen smiled heartily, "Deputy Marshal, this is a good thing. Bolu and the others are already at odds with the Mongolian Yuan court. When the rebel army goes south, it will save a lot of trouble."

Zhu Han agrees with this statement.

"Well, to be honest, if the officials of the Mongolian and Yuan courts were all Bolu, then our wish to expel the Tartars and restore China would be realized sooner," Zhu Han said.

"Expel the Tartars and restore China?"

Liu Bowen was instantly shocked by this sentence.

In his heart, he couldn't help being filled with admiration for Zhu Han.

This is a proper way to embrace the world!
With such vigor, the little Chuzhou will never be able to hide the true dragon and tiger brothers Zhu Han!

"The deputy commander said well! Liu Ji admires it."

"Haha, it's just a casual remark, you don't have to be polite, sir."

"Deputy Commander, before I came, Bolu had already said that he would never let the rebels work in vain. He had already prepared 20 taels of silver and [-] shi of grain and grass as rewards for you!" Liu Bowen said.

What he said fit Zhu Han's psychology very well.

This time, it was to eradicate hidden dangers for Gouttarzi and the others, and of course he refused to contribute in vain.

"Then let's see, 20 silver and [-] stones of food and grass are my money, and they can be exchanged for equivalent iron farm tools for Jiangnan." Zhu Han said after thinking for a while.

Since he already intends to divide the land from local tyrants, he is naturally planning to engage in agricultural production.

It is a problem for ordinary people to eat, and there is no extra money to buy farm tools, so Zhu Han plans to lend new farm tools to farmers who have been allocated land to increase production.

The production of workshops in a city in Chuzhou is limited, and it is really not as happy as purchasing in Jiangnan.

"Okay, this matter is easy to talk about, I can agree on behalf of Bolu." Liu Bowen said.

Afterwards, the two discussed the countermeasures.

According to Zhu Han's request, Mengyuan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces will first send people to recruit Lu Deshui, open a bunch of benefits at the beginning, find out their details, and then report to Zhu Han.

In the end, Zhu Han led the rebel army to wipe out this group of bandits and water thieves in one go.

After sending Liu Bowen away, Zhu Han found Xu Da himself.

Upon hearing Zhu Han's plan, Xu Da's first reaction was to disagree.

"This is impossible! We are rebels, and we are going to kill the Tartars, how can we kill them for them?" Xu Da shook his head and said.

"Brother Xu, I don't think this matter is in conflict with our killing of the Tartars. That Lu Deshui is a thief occupying the Yangtze River waterway. It is a bloody debt to kill and rob. We exterminate him as we are doing harm to the people, and there are many other things. benefits." Zhu Han said.

"Oh, what's the benefit, why don't you talk about it first?" After Xu Da calmed down, he decided to listen to Zhu Han's words carefully.

After all, with so many actions, Zhu Han's schemes and calculations have never caused the rebels to suffer.

"Although we have a navy now, we lack actual combat. In order to go south to the south of the Yangtze River in the future, should we train more troops?" Zhu Han asked.

Xu Da nodded, "Well, it is indeed necessary to train soldiers in actual combat."

"Also, we occupy Chuzhou, which is close to the Yangtze River waterway. It is a golden waterway. Whoever controls the water surface of the Yangtze River controls half of the south of the Yangtze River, and even half of Jiangxi and Huguang. They all rely on the Yangtze River waterway. If we If you wipe out Lu Deshui and other bandits, you will be able to become the new owner of the Yangtze River, and collecting road taxes is just like picking up for nothing," Zhu Han said.

When Xu Da heard this, the corner of his mouth broke into a smile.

"So that's the way it is! Qi Wu, you're the one with the best brains, so many calculations, why didn't I think of it!"

Xu Da readily agreed.

"We control the waterway of the Yangtze River, and divide the Chuzhou land into a solid rear area like an iron barrel. Then we can send troops at any time when we want to go to the south of the Yangtze River in the future, and we don't even need to send troops. We just need to send people to After a tour, you can take Jiangnan!" Zhu Han said.

Hearing the grand blueprint drawn by Zhu Han, Xu Da nodded and agreed without thinking.

Zhu Han and Xu Da left part of the remaining troops behind, and led three thousand sailors on warships, under the banner of attacking the Jiqing Mansion in Jiangsu and Zhejiang again, and appeared on the water of the Yangtze River in mighty form.

For a while, Jiqing Mansion in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, which had just settled down, was in panic again.

In Pingzhang Mansion, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces.

Liu Bowen is reporting back to Bolu and Fan Yao.

"My lord, the person sent by the lower officials sent a letter back, so Lu Deshui has already agreed to the recruitment, accepted the official position given by the lord, and became the pioneer of Dayuan's robbery." Liu Bowen said.

Bolu was overjoyed at first, and then smiled dismissively.

"This Lu Deshui is just a thief, but I have given him the position of a fourth-rank general. If he refuses to agree, it will be abnormal." Bolu said.

Fan Yao next to him also looked proud, "Not only that, we also gave Lu Deshui a military salary of 20 silver and 20 shi of military rations. Although he didn't get it, everyone in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces already knows about it."

Having said this, Bolu and Fan Yao immediately looked at each other and smiled.

That 20 silver and food is a reasonable reason!
"My lords, we just need to wait quietly for the news of Zhu Han's victory." Liu Bowen also laughed.

Bolu picked up the teacup on the table and said loudly: "In this case, let's replace wine with tea, and wish the Red Scarf Army annihilate Lu Deshui as soon as possible!"

"Yes, destroy Lu Deshui as soon as possible!" Fan Yao also picked up his teacup and laughed.

When Liu Bowen saw such a scene, he felt extremely ridiculous.

Two Mongolian and Yuan feudal officials are sincerely wishing the anti-thief Red Scarf Army to wipe out another army of the imperial court.

Such a scene is probably rare in a thousand years.

. . .

The turbulent Yangtze River flows eastward, and the luxuriant weeds grow wantonly on the banks of the Yangtze River, covering many sights.

A hidden water village is hidden in a tributary river on the south bank of the Yangtze River. The dense weeds around it make it difficult for outsiders to detect this water village.

This is the Qingfengzhai of Lu Deshui, a green forest thieves who has been criss-crossing the Yangtze River for many years.

Oh, it is no longer Qingfeng Village, but the camp of the Pioneering Pioneer Army in the Marshal's Mansion of the Great Yuan Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces.

Lu Deshui also transformed into a vanguard general in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces, a court official with a fourth-rank salary.

Not only that, but the Mongolian Yuan officials who came to recruit security also said that they planned to use 20 taels of silver and 20 shi of grain to arm their Qingfengzhai.

Lu Deshui only felt that he was smoking from his ancestral grave, and that he could be so promising by robbing houses and blocking roads.

In the Juyi Hall of Qingfengzhai, Lu Deshui was throwing a banquet to celebrate the wealth that fell from the sky.

"Come! Drink!"

"drink!"

A group of bandit leaders, big and small, drank and feasted to their heart's content one after another, it was even more joyful than New Year's Eve.

Lu Deshui also took a catty of wine in his hand, then took a bite of the sauced meat, and put his other hand into his arms and rubbed it back and forth in Mrs. Yazhai's trousers, only touching this lady's face flushed and begging .

The big and small bandit leaders in the Juyi Hall laughed and uttered all kinds of obscene words.

At this moment, a young man ran in from the door.

"Master, there are boats coming on the river!"

As soon as Xiao Luo finished speaking, a wine bowl flew onto his head.

Snapped!
Whoops!

Xiao Luo screamed in pain, and was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.

Lu Deshui looked unhappy, "You bastard! How many times have I said it, how can there be such a master, from now on I will be the vanguard officer who seeks thieves, and I will call everyone the vanguard officer!"

"The little one is wrong, the little one is wrong!" The little guy hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"What kind of boat is coming on the river?" Lu Deshui asked, breathing heavily.

"Brother, Pioneer Officer, there are a lot of ships, they look like warships, and there are thousands of ships!" Xiao Luo said.

"How many thousand people?"

Lu Deshui was shocked immediately, his dazed head was half sober from the wine.

Many bandit leaders in Juyi Hall were also frightened.

"It's broken, should the officers and soldiers come?"

"Not good, master, hurry up and fight!"

"The officers and soldiers are here, stop drinking!"

. . .

In an instant, the entire Juyi Hall was in chaos.

Snapped! !

A loud slap on the table made everyone stop.

Lu Deshui stepped on the table with one foot and shouted angrily.

"A bunch of trash, panic!"

"What officers and soldiers, I am an officer and army now, I'm afraid of a bird!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted.

That's right, I have already been recruited by the imperial court, and I am a member of the imperial court's army, so I am afraid of the army.

"Boss, that's not quite right, what are there so many ships for?" a big boss asked suspiciously.

Lu Deshui hiccupped and said slowly.

"What else can you do? Of course, it's sending us money and food!"

A few days ago, the dignified Jiangsu and Zhejiang provincial officials personally agreed to allocate 20 taels of silver and 20 shi of grain to Lu Deshui and the others as their military recruitment expenses.

Now that so many ships are coming, they must be sending money and food.

"What are you still doing in a daze, follow me to greet you!"

As Lu Deshui said, he kicked away Mrs. Yazhai next to him, and strode out.

"Open the gate of the camp, the little ones are all coming out, ready to move money and food!"

The big and small water thieves in Qingfengzhai No. [-] cheered happily.

"Oh, move the money!"

"Divide the money!"

Lv Deshui led a group of men, hoisted the flag of the Pioneer Officer of Dayuan Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces, and rushed happily to face the opposite fleet.

As the distance between the two sides approached, Lu Deshui and others discovered some abnormalities.

"That's not right, why isn't their banner the imperial court's banner?"

"I've never seen it before!"

"It seems to be the sun and moon flag with a red background. Which army of the imperial court has this flag?"

Everyone was guessing.

After the two sides approached, the fleet on the opposite side put on a very strange posture.

They lined up the boats and aimed sideways at Lu Deshui's boats.

"On the opposite side, which side of the imperial court are you brothers from?"

Lu Deshui looked dazed, climbed onto the mast himself, and shouted at the opposite ship.

I saw that no one on the opposite ship spoke.

Then, a voice came from the opposite side.

"We are the Red Scarf Army!"

"Get rid of the violent Yuan and restore China!"

boom!
Lu Deshui only felt a burst of bewilderment in his head, followed by a burst of fear.

what!
The sailors of the Red Turban Army came to kill him, what should I do! ?

Lu Deshui and the others were negligent and didn't have time to prepare for the battle. If they were bitten by the red scarf bandits, they would surely die.

"It turned out to be the rebel army. I am in Xialu Deshui. I am willing to join the rebel army and kill the Tartars together!"

While Lu Deshui shouted loudly, he waved his hands quietly, asking the young people below to lower the raised flag of the Mongolian army.

Zhu Han, who was on the opposite warship, had already confirmed that the thief on the other side was Lu Deshui, which could be said to be exactly what he wanted.

Zhu Han turned a deaf ear to Lu Deshui's yelling to seek refuge.

"Well, you Lu Deshui, you did not surrender! You are a hero!"

Immediately, Zhu Han waved his hand and sent a signal to Xu Da and other warships.

"Start the fight!"

Zhu Han's loud yelling made Lu Deshui dumbfounded.

"Is this red scarf thief deaf?"

However, before Lu Deshui had time to say these words, he saw clouds of flaming white smoke suddenly spewing out from the red scarf warship on the opposite side.

boom!
Boom! !
Immediately, there was another roar of thunder.

Lu Deshui only felt pain in his left leg, and looked down to see that one leg had disappeared.

The gushing blood flew straight into the air.

Lu Deshui fell onto the deck of the ship in an instant, and died without even screaming.

With mental calculations and no intentions, coupled with the blessing of artillery from the Red Scarf Army and Navy, they beat the water thieves on the opposite side to pieces in just one round.

Then, following the guidance of the guide, he entered the Qingfeng Village of this group of water thieves.

These bullying water thieves are good at dealing with good people, but when they meet the fierce red scarf army, they are nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs.

Xu Da even felt that he had won a complete victory without even sweating.

"Qiwu, the whole village has been leveled!" Xu Da said with a relaxed face.

"Well, these are all cunning and vicious habitual offenders, we can't keep them, let's kill them all."

Zhu Han looked at a group of captured water thieves and said coldly.

Xu Da also nodded, expressing his approval.

They searched and seized a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and women in this Qingfeng village.

Many of those gold and silver jewels are gold locks and silver chains worn by babies and children, but they are all stained with blood. One can imagine how ruthless and cruel these water thieves are.

As for those women, they are even more miserable and indescribable, they can hardly be regarded as hanging out.

"kill!"

Xu Da gave an order, and the soldiers of the Red Turban Army raised their knives one by one, hacking and killing the water thieves without hesitation.

For these scum, Zhu Han has no mercy at all.

After the killing was over, a man in a silk robe walked up behind Zhu Han.

"How about it, have you seen it?" Zhu Han turned his head and said with a smile.

This man was in his thirties, and he was a confidant of Zhang Bolu in Mengyuan, Jiangzheping, and this time he acted as the guide of Zhu Han's march.

Of course, by the way, I also want to confirm with my own eyes whether the scourge of Lu Deshui has been solved.

"The villain has seen it, the Red Scarf Army is really mighty and extraordinary!" The man quickly laughed along with him.

It was like chopping melons and vegetables. In less than two hours, the water thieves who had been criss-crossing the Yangtze River for many years were wiped out.

"Haha, this is Lu Deshui's head, you can take it back."

As Zhu Han said, he threw a burden on this person, which made him nervous.

"After you go back, don't forget to tell your Jia Pingzhang that the delivery time we agreed on must not be delayed, otherwise, I will be angry, and the consequences will be serious." Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Don't dare, dare not, after the villain returns, he must remind my Lord Pingzhang well!"

After everything was settled, Zhu Han gave this person a captured horse and asked him to return to his command with Lu Deshui's head.

"Qiwu, what should these women do?"

Xu Da suddenly ran over and asked.

In the entire Qingfeng Village, more than 100 women were rescued.

They were all plundered by water thieves and bandits like Lu Deshui, and they were all poor people.

"Ask them, if anyone wants to go home, give some money as travel expenses and let them go." Zhu Han said.

Unexpectedly, after some inquiries, none of the women were willing to leave.

It's not that they don't want to go home, it's really hard to go home.

Not to mention the humiliation received by the bandits and water thieves, how to bear it after returning home is just a variety of dangers on the road, and it cannot be solved by a few women walking together.

"Well then, you all go back to Chuzhou with us, and when you get to Chuzhou, try to find a way to contact your family members. If you want to go back, let you go. If you don't want to go, we will settle down for you at that time."

Zhu Han looked at these poor women and could only take them back.

The group of women below knelt down and thanked each other, crying and shouting.

Zhu Han couldn't bear it, so he just turned his head away.

The Red Scarf Army wiped out the water bandits in Qingfengzhai, and naturally returned home victoriously with drums and thunder.

While declaring their control over the Yangtze River waterway, they showed the banner of the captured 'Great Yuan Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province Pioneer Officer Lu' to the surrounding common people and business travelers.

Anyway, Lu Deshui's identity is the general of Meng Yuan, and for the Red Scarf Army, it was another big victory.

but.

For the Jiqing Mansion, the Red Turban Army's invasion this time can be described as thunderous and rainy.

Just killing Lu Deshui, a vanguard officer seeking thieves, and then hurried back, it is really unpredictable.

However, ordinary people can't figure it out, but Pingzhang Bolu and others in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are clear.

"Haha, this Zhu Han is young, he acts decisively, and pays attention to credibility. He is a young hero." Bolu smiled happily.

Fan Yao on the side also smiled and said, "Lu Deshui is dead, even if the imperial envoys come, there is no way to check anything, we can rest easy again."

In fact, it is not only to sit back and relax, but also to be more happy than happy.

Because Bolu had already received the news from the capital, Emperor Tuohuan Timur of the Great Yuan Dynasty had decided to give Bolu an official title, confer the title of Marquis of Jiading, and enjoy the treatment of ten thousand households.

As for Fan Yao, who was born in the northern Han Dynasty, he was promoted to Zuo Cheng of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces by being a political adviser.

Liu Bowen, who was jointly recommended by the two of them, also won the post of political counselor in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

After some operations, it can be said that all three of them are well-developed.

"My lords, even if Lu Deshui is dead, you have to be careful when the imperial envoy comes. Otherwise, if there is a mistake, all previous efforts may be wasted."

Liu Bowen kindly reminded him from the side.

It is the best choice for the Red Scarf Army that these two guys can stay in their official positions in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

"That's right, we really have to be more careful. How about this, starting tomorrow, we will immediately send someone to investigate, and as soon as there is news of the imperial court's imperial envoy, report back immediately!" Bolu ordered.

"Don't worry, my lord, I have already made arrangements!" Fan Yao said.

However, Liu Bowen was not very relieved.

I only heard Liu Bowen continue to say: "My lords, haven't you heard about it?"

Both Bolu and Fan Yao were confused.

"Brother Bowen, what did you hear?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

Liu Bowen lowered his voice and said to Bolu and Fan Yao.

"My lords, I recently heard that several officials of the clan have been inquiring about the last retreat of the red scarf bandits, as well as the entry and exit of the 100 million taels of silver and grain."

"what!!"

At this remark, both Bo Lu and Fan Yao turned pale with shock.

They all understood what was going on with the 100 million taels of silver and 100 million shi of grain last time.

Regarding the imperial court's memorial, they all said it was used to recruit loyal soldiers and horses, but in fact it was given to the Red Turban Army.

If this matter is exposed, then Bolu and Fan Yao will definitely lose their heads.
