Zhu Yuanzhang is fully prepared for the upcoming war, and this time he will go all out.
This time he is also going to use all the power of the Huangjue Temple branches that he has established all over the world, as well as his improved cannons, warships, new naval forces, etc., all will be used.
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang only regarded these as reserve forces and would not use them unless absolutely necessary, but Zhu Yuanzhang has changed his mind now.
In fact, the most powerful thing about Zhu Yuanzhang is his intelligence network all over the country, which is one of the fundamental factors for his victory. In addition, his economic strength is very strong.
War is fought with money. If there is no money, nothing can be done.
End the war as soon as possible so that the people can recuperate.
Now that the goal has been set, Zhu Yuanzhang will attack with all his strength.
However, what Zhu Yuanzhang decided will not change. His men must pass the test of blood and fire before they can be tempered into steel.
Regarding his subordinates, Zhu Yuanzhang now has a new idea, that is, he dares to promote young people to take on important responsibilities.
Let time prove the abilities and talents of those people!
Chen Youliang's military meeting was held again. Because of the defeat in the Battle of Chizhou, although Chen Tuzi did not take it seriously, it still had an impact on the morale of his men.
So Chen Youliang was very anxious and wanted to win in a hurry, so he immediately led the troops himself, with the goal of taking Caishi and Taiping first.
What Chen Youliang didn't know was that these two places were bait thrown out by Zhu Yuanzhang.
But even if it is a bait, Zhu Yuanzhang will not let Chen Tuozi get his wish easily, and must find a way to make Chen Tuozi suffer some losses.
But the loss cannot be too great, otherwise Chen Youliang will retreat. This is not a situation Zhu Yuanzhang wants to see.
This is a strategy to lure the enemy deeper.
It must be said that Zhu Yuanzhang was cruel in this step. After all, these rebel brothers were his precious strength.
Caishi and Taiping are not conducive to defense, so Zhu Yuanzhang did not deploy any troops here.
After the victory in the Battle of Chizhou, Zhu Yuanzhang personally came to inspect Caishi and Taiping.
The guard of Caishi was a newly attached general. In order to show his trust in this general, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the task of defending Caishi to this guard.
This general's name was Zhu Jinzhong. His original surname was not Zhu. Marshal Zhu gave him his surname and adopted him as his adopted son.
"Be loyal! We will leave this place to you! If someone comes to attack, you have to defend it for a day and a night, and you can retreat! Do you remember?"
"Father, don't worry, I will fulfill my oath of loyalty and live and die with Caishi!"
"No! Caishi is a place that is not easy to defend, but we cannot give up easily. Remember, even if you abandon the city, the enemy will still have to pay the price with blood! Also, I hope you are alive. People and land will be lost. To survive, people will lose their land to survive, and everyone will lose their land. We must preserve our vitality!”
Marshal Zhu also said the same thing to the generals in Taiping.
Sometimes, in order to win the overall situation, you have to lose something. There is no way around it.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was in the Jinling Commandery. He was very nervous, but he tried every means to calm himself down.
What he was reading in front of him was "Mencius". Fish is what I want, and bear's paws are also what I want. You can't have both. One would give up fish and take bear's paws. Life is what I want, and righteousness is also what I want. You cannot have both, and one who sacrifices life for righteousness...
yes! He now wants to keep Caishi and Taiping, but Zhu Yuanzhang knows that they cannot be saved.
Jinling is his lifeline, and it must be heavily guarded. Other places must be left behind.
For the sake of overall victory, local sacrifices must be made. There is no way around this.
Who makes Zhu Yuanzhang less powerful than Chen Youliang now?
However, although Chen Youliang seemed to be powerful, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was just a strong man on the outside but a weak man on the inside!
Zhu Yuanzhang's mood has finally calmed down. The power of ancient prose is indeed very powerful, and he has a poetic spirit in his chest.
Mencius said, I am good at cultivating Haoran’s righteousness, and that’s really true! Reading the books of Mencius can make people full of vitality and upward power.
Zhu Yuanzhang's memory of Chen Youliang was that he only remembered the life-and-death battle with Chen Tuzi at Poyang Lake in history. It was also the first and last battle.
It is what Chen Youliang said that the first battle is the decisive battle, and the outcome is decided in one battle. However, like the Quarry Battle and the Taiping Battle, this is just a small friction, because neither side fights with the main force.
He didn't remember where Chen Youliang proclaimed himself emperor, but he felt that Chen Youliang couldn't hold his temper anymore.
Because the intelligence received by Zhu Yuanzhang also showed this, although Chen Youliang did not say this on the surface, Chen Youliang had people prepare the things used to become emperor.
Not only that, he also ordered someone to build a golden dragon chair. Of course, he would not admit that he did it.
He was waiting for a victory, and then took advantage of this opportunity to immediately declare himself emperor.
But Chen Youliang was a treacherous man. Although he had made plans, he didn't tell anyone because he was too suspicious.
Chen Youliang sent several times more troops to Caishi and Taiping Mansion. After two days and two nights of fighting, they finally captured Caishi and Taiping Mansion. Although Chen Youliang also suffered losses, the problem was not major.
Because this was two wins in two games, Chen Youliang was very happy.
There is another story about the origin of the place name quarrying. During the Three Kingdoms period, Guangji Temple was first built during the Chiwu Period of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. A monk dug out the Chiwu Well and found a dazzling five-color stone. He ordered the craftsmen to make an incense burner and enshrine it in the temple. , as the treasure of the mountain, the name of quarrying comes from "quarrying"!
In fact, when Zhu Yuanzhang captured Chen Youliang alive, Chen Youliang had not yet proclaimed himself emperor. It was just that Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Chen Youliang had already proclaimed himself emperor, but this was not the case.
On this day, Chen Youliang was on the quarrying mountain. He was looking at the surrounding scenery. An old farmer walked by immediately and said, "Your Majesty, I have a treasure to present to your Majesty!"
After hearing this, Chen Youliang was very interested, "What kind of treasure is it?"
"Please come with me, Your Majesty!" The old man said and led the way until he reached the Wutong Hall at the foot of Caishi Mountain. The old man opened the door.
I saw a magnificent dragon chair placed in the center of the hall.
"Does your Majesty want to restore the Han Dynasty?"
Chen Youliang said loudly, "That's natural!"
"That's right! This dragon chair was found in a cave under the mountain a few days ago. There is a Chinese character on it. It can be seen that this is God's order for the king to proclaim himself emperor, restore the Han Dynasty, and save the people of the world from fire and water. .”
