During this period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang had been training rebel soldiers in the village, and guiding others to raise pigs and grow vegetables.
The reason why his braised pork is so delicious is because of the combination of the vegetarian vegetables he grows and the spices. Of course, the important role of his recipes is also indispensable.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted these rebel soldiers to fight bravely, so he made it very delicious this time, and the taste was different from the usual ones.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang also had a purpose in doing this, which was to let these rebel soldiers understand that his skill in making braised pork was really first-rate.
In other words, as long as they follow Zhu Yuanzhang, they will have a lot of delicious food.
Another one is that Zhu Yuanzhang gave each rebel brother a military salary of one tael of silver a month. This was Zhu Yuanzhang's own creation.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was serving as a soldier under Guo Zixing, even though he was a captain of ten soldiers, he did not have a tael of silver a month. The ordinary rebel soldiers had no military pay at all, they were just in charge of food!
But Zhu Yuanzhang also understood that the reason why Guo Zixing and the others did this was because they had no choice. After all, they had too little money.
Also, considering that they were besieged by Yuan Ting's army for so long, it was a miracle that they could persevere!
In fact, what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know was that after Guo Zixing sent Zhu Yuanzhang out, he himself also sent another large group of troops to other places to attack the nearby city of Yuanting.
Because only in this way can they use the grain or money stored in the local warehouse by Yuan Ting for their own use.
Otherwise, they would have been left with nothing.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang was in this cottage, and because his boss left a huge amount of inventory, it made Zhu Yuanzhang less difficult at the beginning, so he was able to work here very smoothly for several months. What he wanted to do.
Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes he carried with him were not used at all. This was the most gratifying thing for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Not only that, Zhu Yuanzhang decided that after this night attack, he would find a way to start doing business on a large scale with the rebels nearby and elsewhere!
If he does this, it will be beneficial to both parties. For Zhu Yuanzhang, he can make some money.
For those rebels, it can solve their urgent needs. After all, some rebel troops have a lot of money, but they eat food very quickly.
Food is different from other things. It is indispensable every day.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also decided to find a way to dry, package and sell vegetarian vegetables and pork. Anyway, he wanted to make a good profit here.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang will have many more people to support in the future, so the more money he has, the better!
Zhu Yuanzhang will never dislike having too much money. This is Zhu Yuanzhang's real plan now.
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a completely different person from others. He was an outstanding leader who took one step at a time and looked at the next three steps. This battle was not over yet, and he was already thinking about the future.
Before the war, Zhu Yuanzhang had already dispatched spies and conducted a thorough investigation of this small city in Yuanting.
In addition, detailed arrangements were made for which route to take, so their march was very smooth.
When Zhu Yuanzhang's army arrived at the small city, it was already dark. At this time, most of the soldiers in Yuan Ting were already asleep. After all, they were very nervous during the day.
Because the surrounding cities were attacked by many rebels, they also had their hearts in their throats during the day.
Finally, night came, and those officials only left a few people standing guard, and they all went to rest.
And maybe because they were too tired during the day, many soldiers, especially those who were officers, drank a little wine at night.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were already very close to this small city. There was a moat around the city.
The drawbridge is now raised.
Zhu Yuanzhang had already made plans for this.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang had many ideas before, and this time he realized one of them, that is, he made some simple flying boats that can be carried around.
The raw material of this thing is pig skin.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang raised pigs for this small purpose, because the pork can be eaten by people, but the pig skin is useless, the pig skin is not edible.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang made the pigskin into a flying boat that could be blown and used.
In fact, they are small boats. After being blown up, each air boat can carry ten rebel soldiers.
This time Zhu Yuanzhang had a hundred such flying boats made, which were very easy to carry.
Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang gave the order, Xu Da, Tang He, and Hu Dahai respectively conveyed Zhu Yuanzhang's general order.
Because of this kind of thing, they had already trained many times in the village, and there was a small pond there, which they were already very familiar with.
So the surprise attack team of a thousand people quickly entered the water. They swam across the moat and reached near the city gate.
Zhu Yuanzhang also equipped each soldier with a rope with a sharp point on it. As long as they threw it up, they could hang on the top of the city.
Because they were spread out, they were very efficient. Before the Yuanting Tatars discovered it, the rebel soldiers had already reached the top of the city.
Therefore, this kind of efficiency is actually beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's imagination.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that it would take at least two quarters of an hour to complete these things, but now it seems that it only took ten minutes to achieve the goal.
In fact, what Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know was that this was Hu Dahai, Xu Da and the others once again simplified the whole process.
In other words, after arriving at the city, their simple flying boat was still placed in the moat without being taken up, and then went directly to the city.
In this case, some time is saved.
If so many people went into the water, the soldiers from the Yuanting Tower would definitely have discovered this.
But, at this time, a strong wind suddenly blew up.
The strong wind was so strong that the Yuan Ting soldiers could not open their eyes. The sound of the wind covered up the sound of Zhu Yuanzhang and their actions.
In fact, this was beyond Zhu Yuanzhang's expectation. It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang thought the weather was quite good, but he did not expect such wind.
The appearance of the strong wind was a big help to Zhu Yuanzhang, and they were able to capture the tower without anyone noticing.
