Chapter 94 Chang Yuchun defected to the army, a different "Queen Ma"(2/4)

Especially after demonstrating the power of two explosive hole attacks, the entire Yingzhou Red Scarf Army, including Liu Futong, were polite to Zhou Dexing and treated him as a distinguished guest!

In this way, Zhou Dexing quickly became involved with the red scarf generals of Yingzhou and gained many friendships and connections, as well as a lot of truth.

After listening to Zhou Dexing's words, Zhu Yuanzhang also deeply agreed.

"They are all the same, and it is impossible for us to persuade them. We just need to run our Dingyuan Chuzhou well after we go back." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Then when will we go back?" Zhou Dexing continued to ask.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he laughed first.

"Haha, if we want to go back, we can go back anytime. If you want to go back, it's not that simple. Liu Futong is not willing to let him go." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Since the arrival of Zhou Dexing, the Yingzhou Red Scarf Army has conquered almost every city and can be said to be invincible.

Zhu Han's improved hole attack blasting method, in the current era, almost no city wall can withstand it.

What's more, the plain terrain and soil quality in Henan are even more conducive to hole blasting, which is more efficient than in Huaixi.

Zhou Dexing even regarded the acupuncture blasting method as his special skill. Some key steps were kept strictly confidential and would not be allowed to be learned by others.

Therefore, Liu Futong is now formulating a strategy for the three-way northern expedition to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Zhou Dexing's role is crucial, and of course he cannot be allowed to leave.

"Hey, what should I do? How about I go and tell Liu Futong directly? I just want to leave anyway, and he can't stop me!" Zhou Dexing was a little unhappy.

He has a high status in the Yingzhou Red Scarf Army and is treated very well, but he always feels that he is not one of them and still wants to go back.

"Actually, Qi Wu also told us about this matter before we came here." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

When Zhou Dexing heard this, he immediately became energetic and asked quickly: "What do you mean by Qi Wu?"

"He asked me to tell you that you don't have to hold on to the method of blasting. If you teach Liu Futong and the others, they will be able to go back smoothly." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

When Zhou Dexing heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle and expressed his disagreement very strongly.

"That's not possible. We made this acupoint blasting, how can we teach it to them?" Zhou Dexing said.

"As I said on Qiwu, Liu Futong and the others are friendly forces after all, and they are our barrier to the north. The harder they hit Meng Yuan, the more beneficial it will be to us. If you only rely on Zhou Dexing, how can you be so busy?

"Liu Futong is going to make a three-pronged Northern Expedition, how can you still act like a god and play around with whether he can become a god?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhou Dexing knew very well the role of the friendly forces of the Red Turban Army.

However, he regarded the technique of point attack and blasting as his most precious possession, so how could he easily teach it to others.

"Having said that, I can't bear to teach them. With this method, we can't conquer any city, so how can we give others an advantage in vain!" Zhou Dexing was still reluctant.

"Actually, we don't think we can teach it to others, but Qiwu said that if he wants Liu Futong and the others to beat up Meng Yuan, they have to teach them, and Qiwu also said that he already has better siege methods.

This method is even more effective than this acupoint blasting method!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"What, really?" Zhou Dexing's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhu Han was always full of wisdom and scheming, so Zhou Dexing naturally believed in these words.

Finally, under Zhu Yuanzhang's persuasion, Zhou Dexing agreed and was willing to teach Liu Futong and others the hole attack and blasting method with all his strength.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had already said that Zhu Han's new method was still kept secret. If Zhou Dexing wanted to learn it, he would have to go back and talk about it.

Zhou Dexing was obsessed with going back to learn new siege methods, and he naturally wanted Liu Futong and others to learn about hole attack and blasting immediately, so that he could go back boldly.

Early the next morning.

Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhou Dexing to see the Prime Minister Liu Futong.

As soon as they met Liu Futong, Zhu Yuanzhang explained their purpose of coming, and they were willing to teach him all the acupoint blasting techniques, and asked Liu Futong to send some capable people to learn from Zhou Dexing in the future.

When Liu Futong heard the news, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Brother Zhu, is everything you said true?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Generalissimo, we are all brothers, how can we tell lies and deceive others!"

"Hahaha, Brother Zhu, I just know that among so many people, you are the one who knows the general situation best and understands the overall situation! Okay, okay, with this acupoint blasting, the three-way Northern Expedition is half successful!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Futong was overjoyed, and he already believed that it was all his own credit that made Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhou Dexing willing to hand over the hole blasting siege method.

Ever since Zhou Dexing came to Yingzhou, all the generals of the Red Scarf Army were so greedy that their eyes turned red!

No matter how big or strong the city is, as long as it is well protected, it is almost impossible for it to survive three days in Zhou Dexing's hands!

After a loud bang, a city will be captured.

However, Zhou Dexing hid his siege methods more tightly than a bird in his crotch. Liu Futong and other Red Scarf Army generals did not learn how to use them no matter how they tried to induce or plead with them.

Everyone is friendly, so it's not easy to use strong tactics.

Now, Liu Futong has just proclaimed Prince Xiao Ming and restored the banner of "Great Song Dynasty".

Zhu Yuanzhang came to offer the treasure, which shows that he really complied with God's will.

"Okay, Brother Zhu, I, Liu Futong, have already written down your wishes. After we conquer Kaifeng City and return to the old capital, I will ask King Xiao Ming to enfeoff the kings. At that time, brother, I will leave a place for you.

"King of Side by Side!" Liu Futong said with a big smile.

"It's a trivial matter, the Generalissimo doesn't have to be so polite!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said verbally, but in his heart he disagreed with Liu Futong's statement.

Now the Red Scarf Army's forwards have already approached Kaifeng City, and it won't take long before they should be able to break through Kaifeng.

However, there was no main Mongol and Yuan force in Kaifeng, so its capture would not be a great victory.

It's really unseemly to be so anxious to divide the various kings.

"Qiwu has long said that countering the Yuan Dynasty cannot be completed in a day or two. There is no trace of progress in being so anxious to divide the kings. When the time comes, we will not be able to compete with each other in extravagance and depravity." Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself.

However, these advantages and disadvantages are things for the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in Yingzhou for a few more days and asked Zhou Dexing to teach the Red Scarf Army generals the acupoint blasting method from beginning to end.

From the precise proportioning of gunpowder, to the resurgence and granulation of gunpowder, to the standard operation of tunnel tapping, and then to gunpowder backfilling and sealing.

It took Zhou Dexing three days and three nights of teaching to completely teach Liu Futong, Mao Gui, Zhima Li and others.

"Haha, with Brother Zhu's Acupoint Explosion, we were able to break into Dadu years ago and sleep on the dragon bed of that bitch Tatar Emperor!" Mao Gui looked at the whole set of words on the Acupoint Explosion in his hand and suddenly became happy.

During this Northern Expedition, Mao Gui was appointed Marshal of the East Route Army and commanded an army of more than 100,000 people from Shandong and then north to Dadu.

The other generals and marshals also expressed their admiration for Zhu Yuanzhang's generous sharing of military skills.

Liu Futong naturally had to express his feelings.

"Brother Zhu, you said before that it was your younger brother who came up with this set of points to defeat the enemy?" Liu Futong said.

"Yes, he has always had some weird abilities!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a proud smile.

"In this case, little brother Zhu Han must also receive a heavy reward! Let's do it this way. You are now the prime minister of Jiangbei Province. Then let your brother be the governor of Jiangnan Province. When Jiangnan is conquered, he will take office immediately.

Okay." Liu Futong smiled.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately sneered in his heart.

Liu Futong's move to give Zhu Han an official title and a higher reward simply had another purpose.

In the Red Scarf Army, rewards for each group are basically only given to marshals, big and small.

In other words, for Zhu Yuanzhang, he was only rewarded with official titles and titles. Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates were not directly rewarded, but were left to Zhu Yuanzhang to decide on his own.

Liu Futong's move basically wanted to add some sand into it.

However, for Zhu Yuanzhang, this was not a problem at all.

Zhu Han was his most trusted brother, and Liu Futong wanted to use tricks, which was to shoot himself in the foot.

Don’t waste this kind of benefit delivered to your door.

"Thank you very much, Prime Minister. I will thank you on behalf of my younger brother. When Jiangnan is conquered, we will let him become the provincial governor of Jiangnan!" Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.

Liu Futong did not realize how naive his idea was, but instead thought that Zhu Yuanzhang had fallen into his trap.

"Okay, Brother Zhu, our rebel army is about to prepare for the three-way Northern Expedition. When the time comes, we will need military supplies and your help will be indispensable."

Liu Futong stroked his short beard and said with great dignity.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. After we return, we can at least send the Prime Minister and his brothers 200,000 shi of food and 300,000 pieces of cloth!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

For the crusade against the Mongolian Yuan, everyone who has money will contribute money and powerful efforts.

Everyone in the Red Scarf Army knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had just attacked Jiqing Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it was said that he was "repulsed" by the Meng Yuan Army in the south of the Yangtze River, he had obtained a lot of food.

In addition, Chuzhou is also a good and prosperous place, so the poor Red Scarf Army will naturally ask him for help.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to accumulate wealth, he was unambiguous about the crusade against Bao Yuan.

He had already discussed with Zhu Han to provide some food, grass and baggage to strengthen the Red Scarf Army and hit the Mongolian and Yuan forces in the north harder, so that he could have time to plan for Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"Haha, Brother Zhu is indeed a happy man! Don't worry, I won't let these grains and cloths go to waste. You will have a share of all the loot captured, and if the other various groceries and treasures captured are sold,

, they will all be resold to you, they are all our own brothers, so just keep the capital, and we won’t take any of the remaining profits!”

Liu Futong saw Zhu Yuanzhang's cheerful attitude and immediately said very generously.

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with these responses.
