Zhu Han smiled slightly and said to Hu Dahai:
"Not only in the entire East China Sea, even if we go south or west, if we look at the entire world, there will be no navy more powerful than ours!"
What Zhu Han said is that winning is not based on the quantity of rice, but on quality.
This batch of battleships all adopt the most classic sailing battleship combination of later generations. The dense artillery windows are proof of their powerful military capabilities.
The smallest caliber of these guns is a six-pounder, and the largest has reached 48 pounds, which is enough to destroy a three- to four-inch-thick hardwood hull. It is not just a layer of the hull. At a very close distance, it can destroy The wood on both sides of a ship's hull was penetrated.
Such a powerful sailing battleship not only has no enemies in the East Asian waters, but even including Persia and Arabia, no fleet can match them.
"Okay, now that we have the sharp blade in hand, it's time to show our strength!" Zhu Han said with a smile.
Nowadays, the Red Scarf Army's naval force is sufficient. Not only can it be frequently attacked by the Mongolian and Yuan forces in Liaoyang Province in the north, but it can also ensure land and water transportation to Ganghwa Island, Tamna Island and Goryeo.
Now that another batch of new battleships have been launched and completed their training, Zhu Han naturally has new plans.
"Deputy commander, are you going to attack the Huihui barbarians in Quanzhou?" Hu Dahai asked with anticipation.
Zhu Han nodded, "Yes, they are the Huihui group from Quanzhou."
Xu Da has sent letters twice and three times, and Hui Hui has occupied the local waterway in Quanzhou, making it difficult for the Red Scarf Army to invade.
He was still afraid that if he attacked, these Huihui barbarians would escape by sea, so he never launched a general attack.
"This time we will block all these lustful people from Quanzhou by sea. We will not let any of them escape from Quanzhou alive and let them pay with blood!" Zhu Han said fiercely.
According to the battle report sent by Xu Da from the front, the Huihuisemu people led by the Pu family in Quanzhou were burning, killing, and looting in Fujian, and they committed all kinds of evil!
It was simply a bit more cruel than when the Japanese invaded the village.
These people would kill local Han people at every turn in the name of getting rid of heretics!
Both the Han and the former allies, the Mongols, were killed without fail.
With the support of Xu Da, Chen Youding and other Fujian generals counterattacked into Fujian and recovered most of Fujian.
However, they have not launched an attack on the coastal ports around Quanzhou in order to prevent these Huihui people with blood debts from running away.
The Hui people headed by the Pu family thought that the Red Scarf Army could not do anything to them. After all, they had been operating in the local area for a long time.
The Semu people became more and more rampant. Just last winter, because of the lack of food in Quanzhou, they killed many Han people, old and weak, and even many children did not escape death.
Everyone in Fujian hated the Semu people to the core. Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang agreed that they must be killed, otherwise they would not be able to give an explanation to the people of Fujian.
After all, the Hui Hui people owe countless blood debts, and they must not be allowed to escape.
The Red Scarf Navy, which was well prepared for war, immediately set sail in Zhenjiang and headed south along the north wind.
After several days of sailing, they soon arrived at the sea outside Quanzhou City.
A huge fleet suddenly appeared on the sea, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the people returning to Semu in Quanzhou.
The leader of the Pu family, Pu Ali, saw dozens of warships emerging on the sea and immediately guessed that they were the warships of the Red Turban Army.
"These damn infidels, don't they know how powerful we Persians are at sea?"
Today's Semu people are basically immigrants from Persia. They control the sea routes from the Middle East of Persia to China. They are invincible on the sea and dominate the sea routes.
Now seeing dozens of warships appearing on the sea, Pu Ali and others are not too worried, because the Semu people have always been very confident about their naval strength.
"Emil, what are we going to do?"
"Do you want to attack?"
A curly-haired, green-eyed rebel general asked Pu Ali.
Emir means governor-general in Tianfang Sect. Feudal lords of all sizes in various places basically call themselves emir.
"Of course we must attack immediately. We must not let these infidels underestimate us!" Pu Ali said.
Following the order, hundreds of Semu warships in Quanzhou Port poured out of the port!
He pounced towards the Red Scarf Army battleship ahead.
These warships with Arabian triangle sails are a unique presence on the waters of East Asia.
Their wolf-like tactics often scare local pirates.
Therefore, Semu, who was accustomed to being arrogant, did not take these thirty-odd Red Scarf Army warships seriously.
Although these Red Turban warships look very tall!
But they believed that with their nimble dhows they could get close quickly and seize the warships.
The main weapon of these semen sailors is a powerful scorpion crossbow installed on the battleship. This scorpion crossbow can fire huge arrows as thick as an arm, or stone projectiles as big as a fist, which can smash the enemy's ship. Shell and sail.
In addition, there are many ballistae, which are also commonly used offensive methods by the Persians.
Of course, what they are best at is jumping gang fighting, throwing hooks or rope ladders onto the enemy's warships, and then climbing and jumping up to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Now that they have an advantage in numbers, almost five times that of the Red Turban Army and Navy, they are naturally more inclined to fight hand-to-hand.
As the sails unfolded on the sea.
More than 100 warships of the Semu people were like a huge net, rushing towards the navy of the Red Turban Army.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhu Han stood on the bow of the ship and said to Hu Dahai with a smile, "These Persians are here to die themselves. We must greet them well and leave enough fast warships behind. We must not let them go." These Persians took advantage of the chaos and escaped!"
Hu Dahai immediately responded and said: "Yes, deputy commander! The general has made arrangements and will not let a Huihui barbarian escape!"
"Okay, let's kill these lustful barbarians today to pay homage to the people who died in Fujian!"
Following the sound of a cannon, a flash of white smoke suddenly appeared on the sea.
When the Semu navy approached to a hundred steps, the artillery on the Red Scarf Army warships began to fire one by one.
The artillery spits fierce flames!
The blazing projectiles flew out of the gun barrel and suddenly crashed into the hull of the Semu warship.
Suddenly a scream sounded on the Semu people's battleship.
"How is this going?"
"Do these pagans actually have such powerful weapons?"
Puali's ship was also hit by a 48-pound gun shell, but he was luckier. The shell only grazed the side of the ship and destroyed part of the deck, and did not cause fatal damage.
Even so, Ali was completely frightened by the shocking crack in the battleship in front of him.
He never imagined that the Han naval forces in front of him would possess such terrifying weapons.
"Emir, let us rush forward and set fire to the ships of these infidels."
General Semu quickly advised.
Bandits like Pu Ali originally wanted to rob these huge warships of the Red Turban Army.
Now that I saw this scene, I immediately knew that the enemy was not easy to deal with, and I immediately nodded in agreement.
As the horns sounded, a flag was raised on the triangular sail.
Everyone in Semu knew that their leader had given up on seizing ships and instead destroyed enemy ships.
Their current strategy has given up on snatching ships. Following the change in the strategy of this lustful man, a large number of scorpion crossbows, bows and arrows, fire crossbows, etc. were launched from the warships, all roaring towards the warships of the Red Turban Army. .
but.
The powerful weapons that the Persians were proud of hit the hardwood hull of the Red Scarf Army, but it was like scratching an itch and did not cause any serious damage at all.
On the contrary, the warships of the Red Turban Army gained better range after the Persian navy approached.
boom!
boom! boom!
With the roar of bursts of artillery!
These Semu warships suffered fatal blows one after another, and the heavy projectiles were like the god of death, reaping the lives of the sailors and soldiers on the Semu warships.
Screams and wails sounded on the Semu warship.
The jibs fell to the sea like clouds falling, drifting away with the gentle rise and fall of the waves.
The large number of Semu warships simply could not withstand the heavy bombardment of the Red Turban Army's 48-pound artillery!
Many warships were shot into the soul and instantly disintegrated on the sea.
The brutal artillery bombardment caused the semen navy behind to fall into a huge panic.
"By Allah! This is the devil!"
"Quick! Quick! Escape from these heavenly punishments!"
"This is divine punishment!"
The screams, wails and prayers of the Semu people did not save them, but instead aroused greater murderous intent from the Red Scarf Army.
The Red Turban warships were like giant heavy hammers, lined up on a wide front. The cannons on both sides of the ship were spitting out thick white smoke and fire, bombarding the Semu warships on the sea.
More and more Semu warships were beaten to pieces!
The blazing flames also set the sails of the semen on fire!
Many Semu warships had no time to dodge and were bumped into by these out-of-control friendly ships. The raging flames, blown by the sea breeze, instantly ignited the colliding Semu warships.
There were originally more than a hundred Semu warships, but after just a few rounds of bombardment, nearly half of them were lost.
Seeing the tragic scene in front of him, Pu Ali knew that there was no hope of victory in this battle.
The Semu people cannot afford to lose. If all the warships are lost in this naval battle, even if they win this naval battle, there is no need, because Quanzhou loses sea transportation, and it is a dead city.
"Quickly retreat! Quickly retreat!"
"Quickly retreat!" Pu Ali shouted anxiously.
With a loud shout from Pu Ali.
The Semu warship began to turn its sails and ran towards the Quanzhou port.
Some of the Semu warships also raised their sails because they were separated on the outside, trying to escape southward with the help of the strong north wind.
However, for these semu people who want to flee, the Red Scarf Army has already prepared a reserve team according to Zhu Han's instructions.
Some fast battleships behind were already ready and immediately pursued them.
Although the number of guns deployed on these fast battleships is small, they are all very powerful 48-pound guns, and there are also many 24-pound guns.
After getting close to these Semu warships, only one salvo is needed!
The Semu people's naval battleship immediately turned into piles of broken wooden boards.
As the waves rose and fell, the sailors fell into the water one after another and fed the sharks in the sea.
Of course, the Red Scarf Army would not show mercy to these Semu people who wanted to escape. As for the Semu warships that were escaping into Quanzhou Port, the Red Scarf Army did not kill them all, but slowly followed behind them.
Because the Semu people naturally have a very good understanding of the hydrology in the Quanzhou area, the Red Scarf Army slowly following behind them can save a lot of time in exploring the depth of the hydrology.
Sure enough, when the Semu people fled into Quanzhou Port in a panic, the Red Scarf Army warship also sailed into the vicinity of Quanzhou Inner Harbor safely.
Amidst the roar of artillery, the Semu people abandoned their warships and fled to the fortress on land.
The Semu people have been operating in Quanzhou for more than 100 years, and the fortress here has been managed by them for a long time. It can be said that it is impregnable.
Pu Ali covered his injured arm and ran into Quanzhou City.
While escaping, his arm was hit by a wooden thorn that was shattered by a heavy artillery shell from the Red Turban Army. His arm was bleeding, and the wooden thorn penetrated into the flesh and poked directly into the bones. Seeing that this arm might If there was no guarantee, Pu Ali felt annoyed and angry.
After he returned to Quanzhou City, he immediately ordered the city gates to be sealed!
Call on all the semu people in the city to take up arms and prepare to defend the city.
After the Red Scarf Army took control of Quanzhou Port, they immediately built a trestle bridge and placed small boats on the shore to land.
The Red Scarf Army and Navy blocked the Quanzhou port and immediately sent information to Xu Dapai in the rear.
When Xu Da learned that Quanzhou had won the water battle, he immediately stood up happily.
"The Hui people in Quanzhou will be wiped out in a battle today!"
Xu Da said loudly.
Next to Xu Da, Chen Youding and other Fujian generals were also excited.
The various atrocities committed by the Semu people in Fujian have long since become unbearable for them.
"Kill all these lustful people and avenge the dead villagers!"
"Kill them all!"
"Kill them all!"
With roars one after another, Xu Da led his more than 40,000 soldiers and horses to stride towards Quanzhou. The Semu Fortress sentries along the way were no match for these Red Turban troops.
In particular, Xu Da had already conducted thorough reconnaissance on the strongholds of these Semu people. After a strong attack, he quickly drove all the Semu people into the isolated city of Quanzhou.
Quanzhou City is now a dead place.
Xu Da led the Hongnan Red Scarf Army and the local rebels in Fujian to block all roads.
The Red Scarf Army lined up on the sea and destroyed all the ships that wanted to leave the port.
Pu Ali stood in Quanzhou City, looking at the Red Turban Army on both sides of the water and land, and suddenly fell into despair.
"These pagans have given us such a disastrous defeat, I'm afraid we will have to sacrifice our lives here for Allah!" Puali said with some horror.
At this time, his brother Yusuf came up and said,
“I remember God taught us to use cunning wisdom when necessary!”
"What do you mean?" Puali asked.
"We can make peace with these infidels!"
"Yes, Allah has taught us that only by saving our lives when necessary can we better devote ourselves to the Lord!"
Yusuf's words were immediately agreed by Pu Ali.
Now they are in a desperate situation. If making peace can save their lives, that would be the best, but if they can take away some more treasures, that would be even better.
As the messenger of negotiations, Yusuf did his part.
He was sent out of the city and came to the camp of the Red Turban Army holding a white flag.
When he entered the Red Turban Army camp, he had already made a plan in his mind.
According to his plan, as long as he obediently gives half of the property in Quanzhou City to these Han people, he should be able to leave safely in exchange.
He believed that these pagans should be able to agree. Even if they didn't agree, dedicating all their wealth and leaving with their lives would be their final bottom line.
As soon as Yusuf entered the Red Turban Army camp and saw Zhu Han, he was immediately attacked by several wolf-like soldiers and knocked to the ground with sticks, especially his knees. A heavy blow.
Unable to hold on any longer, Gui fell to the ground like a dead dog in an instant.
"The two countries are at war, so I won't kill the envoy!"
Yusuf, who spoke very fluent Chinese, was lying on the ground and wailing loudly.
He never expected that these red scarf soldiers would be so careless about diplomatic etiquette. They would not be considerate at all towards him as an envoy. They would beat him to the ground as soon as they greeted him.
Zhu Han looked at Yusuf lying on the ground like a dead dog and stopped Lan Yu and others from continuing to beat him.
He said to Yusuf, “Are you not going to sacrifice your lives for the Lord, as humans?”
"How dare you come to make peace?"
Yusuf was already very angry when he heard that the Red Turban general in front of him was sarcastic. However, the situation was stronger than others. He put on a very humble posture and said, "We have been ordered by the Lord to come. We have arrived at this promised land, but now, the Almighty Lord has decreed that it is time for us to leave. We are willing to pay half of Quanzhou’s treasure in exchange for the ships we left, as well as Danshui food, etc.”
After Yusuf finished speaking, he covered his body that had been beaten just now and waited tremblingly for Zhu Han's reply.
Zhu Han smiled coldly and said:
"You dead bandits are really good at picking things up, and you don't care about morality. I won't make peace with you. Go back and tell your people, let them wash their necks and prepare to die!"
"If anyone comes out to surrender, I will spare their life. If anyone dares to resist, then I will kill all the Huihui people in Quanzhou City!"
Zhu Han's words made Yusuf immediately feel desperate. He tried a final test, "As long as we can be allowed to leave Quanzhou, we are willing to give all the treasures and only give us a ship to leave!"
Regarding this request, Zhu Han did not agree at all, but said, "I said I would kill you, and I will kill you. There will never be any peace. Unless you come out and surrender unconditionally, there will be no negotiation!"
Then, in order to show that he would never make peace, Zhu Han waved his hand!
Lan Yu and other generals of the Red Scarf Army rushed forward. Lan Yu picked up the dagger in his hand and severely cut off Yusuf's nose and ears.
ah!
With a scream, Yusuf's nose and ears were cut off by the dagger in Lan Yu's hand.
Lan Yu wiped the blood on her hands and threw them to the ground with a look of disgust.
At this time, Yusuf's face had turned into a bloody and terrifying look.
Zhu Han said to the screaming Yusuf: "This is a lesson for you. When you go back, be prepared to fight to the death!"
Zhu Han had no intention of making peace with these Fujian Hui people.
As for whether the Hui people in Quanzhou City would resist stubbornly and cause greater losses to the Red Scarf Army, Zhu Han didn't care at all. These semen are bullies and fear the strong. Relying on the strength of their numbers and the long-term operation, He is quite good at bullying the common people in Fujian.
But when it comes to fighting against experienced Red Turban Army generals like Lan Yu and Xu Da, they are simply not worth mentioning.
Sure enough, after Yusuf returned to Quanzhou City, all the semen in the city knew what kind of outcome they were about to face. Many of them showed their ferocious personalities like wild beasts. They killed all the people in Quanzhou City overnight. The few remaining Han people were actually traitors who were vassals of the Semu people. Their deaths would naturally not arouse the slightest sympathy from Zhu Han.
With the sound of war drums, the Red Scarf Army launched a comprehensive general attack on Quanzhou City!
The Red Scarf Army brought siege artillery and bombarded the gates of Quanzhou City.
In an instant, the hard wooden city gate was blown to pieces.
Amidst the shouts of killing, the armored soldiers of the Red Scarf Army acted as the vanguard and immediately charged into Quanzhou City.
The more than 10,000 Semu people in the city were simply unable to withstand the fierce offensive of the Red Scarf Army!
He was quickly defeated and killed.
Puali raised the scimitar in his hand.
Seeing the Red Turban soldiers pouring into the house like a tide, they wanted to kill them with a knife.
Suddenly, an arrow shot through his arm, and the machete in his hand fell to the ground.
Pu Ali screamed and was captured alive by Lan Yu.
"Deputy Commander, this person is the executioner Pu Ali who massacred the people in Fujian!"
Xu Da led Chen Youding and other Fujian generals to immediately recognize Pu Ali. In addition, there were dozens of other Semu leaders who were also captured alive, and there were also several Semu people who made up women who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to hide. They got up, but they were all searched out by the Red Scarf Army one by one.
"Lock him up and prepare for Ling Chi in three days!" Zhu Han ordered coldly.
The city of Quanzhou was destroyed, not only all the stubborn Semu people in the city were killed, but also countless gold and silver treasures were seized.
It's just a pity that a considerable part of the Nanyang goods were set on fire by the Semu people when they destroyed the city. These were all priceless spices. The strong smell of spices floated over Quanzhou City for three days and three nights. None of it dissipated.
Spices such as these peppers are now worth their weight in gold.
"A sneeze! A sneeze!"
Smelling the pepper aroma that filled the city, Zhu Han couldn't help but let out a huge sneeze.
Xu Da, Hu Dahai and others all felt sorry for the burned pepper.
"What's some pepper?"
"These peppers in Nanyang, Tianzhu and other places are simply worthless things that grow on trees everywhere. It's just that after being changed hands by these cunning and sexy people, they turned into valuables that are managed at a reasonable price."
After hearing Zhu Han's words, Hu Dahai, Xu Da and others' eyes suddenly glowed with gold.
They all came from poor backgrounds and only knew that pepper was a luxury item that only the rich and powerful could enjoy. Now when they heard Zhu Han say this, they couldn't help but look suspicious.
"Deputy Commander, is this really the case?"
"If pepper is so cheap, why do these lustful people sell them so expensively?"
Zhu Han rolled his eyes and said:
"Of course the nonsense is just to make money. These lustful people have no respect at all and will not sell you cheap pepper just because it is cheap!"
"Here in our country, a pot of pepper is almost equivalent to one tael of gold. In countries further away, such as Rome and the West, the price is doubled!" Zhu Han said.
"Then if we go and occupy Nanyang and snatch all the pepper from the trees, wouldn't we be able to make a fortune?" Hu Dahai said with a smile.
"That's natural. These Semu people have monopolized the east-west sea trade, allowing them to make a lot of money. From today on, we will make the money on the sea!" Zhu Han said.
"Deputy Commander, are you telling the truth?" Chen Youding asked cautiously.
As a general from Fujian, Chen Youding has a very high business acumen.
In history, Chen Youding, as a die-hard loyalist of the Meng Yuan, always adhered to Fujian and was loyal to the Meng Yuan.
He did not surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, and was killed without surrender when he was finally captured.
In this time and space, the million-strong army of Meng Yuan was annihilated by brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han. Emperor Meng Yuan also died on the battlefield. Chen Youding was conquered by Zhu Han before he could be promoted and reused by Meng Yuan.
For people like Chen Youding, Zhu Han admires his loyalty.
Anyway, as long as he can be kind to him, Chen Youding will definitely be loyal to him without hesitation.
Zhu Han said cheerfully, "Quanzhou's sea trade cannot be abolished, and not only cannot it be abolished, we must also carry forward Quanzhou's sea trade!"
Zhu Han had just seized a batch of sea maps left by the Semu people. This was the treasure accumulated by the Semu people for hundreds of years.
In fact, the value is far more than these peppers.
These charts describe in detail the hydrological routes of the entire Indochina Peninsula, Southeast Asia, Tianzhu and other places.
There are also scenery along the way, which can be used as a detailed navigation guide for sea trade.
"Oh, that's it!" Hu Dahai's eyes immediately flashed with gold, "With these charts, we can go to Nanyang and pick pepper from those trees!"
"Haha, this is not a pepper tree, it is simply a golden tree!" Xu Da said with a smile.
"That's right! However, just having a chart is not enough. You gather all the prisoners who are left behind, select some of them who are familiar with the routes, and assign them to serve in the navy. Who can If you dare to cheat, you will be castrated immediately and sent to hard labor." Zhu Han said.
Today, although the Semu people in Quanzhou City were killed and their blood flowed like rivers, more than a thousand people were still captured.
"Deputy Commander, what should I do if there are a lot of lusty women?"
"Women with lustful eyes?" Zhu Han was a little surprised: "How many are there?"
"It's really a lot, almost more than three thousand!" Hu Dahai said.
"There are so many? I'll go take a look first."
Zhu Han and his party came to a luxurious courtyard in the city.
This was originally the residence of Pu Ali, the leader of Semu. It was decorated with splendor and splendor, with small onion-topped towers standing all around. At first glance, it looked like a luxurious mansion full of Tianfang religion style.
In the center of the mansion, there were about two to three thousand women gathered together in a dense crowd.
Among the dark crowd, there were people with hair of all colors.
"There are really so many lustful women?"
"This is the first time I have seen so many lustful women." Xu Da couldn't help but said.
"These women with lustful eyes are a little different from the common men with lustful eyes. You see, their hair is actually golden." Lan Yu said doubtfully.
Zhu Han smiled slightly, "Those blond ones should all be Eastern Europeans. They probably got them from the Rus' area in Eastern Europe, that is, the Golden Horde!"
This group of men stared at the blond and blue-eyed women in front of them in confusion.
After hearing Zhu Han's words, Hu Dahai asked curiously, "Deputy Commander, where is this Ross? Where is the Golden Horde?"
Zhu Hanyi smiled and said, "That's quite far away. I'm afraid it's thousands of miles away from the Western Region."
"Where is the Western Region?"
"The Western Regions are further to the northwest in Guanzhong." Zhu Han said.
People like Hu Dahai were born as ordinary people and had almost zero knowledge of world geography. The places they were familiar with were often only a few hundred miles away from where they were born and traveled.
For things thousands of miles away, we often learn about things through hearsay. As for places thousands of miles away, they are simply two worlds.
Zhu Han's words immediately aroused the interest of Xu Da, Hu Dahai and others.
They all became curious about these blond and lustful women in front of them.
At this time, Chen Baodao escorted several semu people over.
"Deputy Commander, these are relatively obedient prisoners, and they were brought here by the Deputy Commander."
Zhu Han nodded and asked the Semu prisoners, "What are your names?"
These lewd prisoners quickly knelt on the ground and shouted out their names.
"My noble lord, my name is Amuhan."
"The villain's name is Youkefu."
"Amu Khan and Yukfu?"
Zhu Han said to the two lustful men, "Go and ask these women, how old they are, where they come from, and what their names are? Register them for me."
The prisoner Amuhan immediately said, "Sir, we already have a list of these. As long as we find the list, we can know this information."
Soon, Amu Khan found these rosters in the study room of the emir's house, and counted the lustful female slaves one by one according to the rosters.
Zhu Han found that they were all young, the youngest was eight or nine years old, and the eldest was only in his 30s, which was a good time to have children.
Zhu Han couldn't help but sigh, "This is great. Those single brothers are blessed."
Xu Da and others also grinned and said, "Many brothers in the army have been bachelors for several years, and now each of them can share a sexy girl!"
"However, let the deputy commander choose these lustful female slaves first." Hu Dahai said from the side.
Zhu Hanben was also very curious about these lustful women, so he glanced at the female slaves below.
Suddenly, a strand of blond hair fluttering in the wind caught his attention. He saw that it was an Eastern European slave girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, with blond hair and blue eyes.
Zhu Han reached out and took her under his name.
Amuhan said next to him at this time:
"Dear Master, you are really discerning. These are the Golden Tent female slaves that have just been trafficked from Baghdad. They are all top-quality goods, and they are all in perfect shape. Master, you can enjoy them as much as you like!"
Zhu Han looked at it carefully and found that it was indeed stunning.
Zhu Han smiled slightly and asked, "What's your name?"
The slave girl had a puzzled look on her face. It was obvious that she could not understand Chinese.
Amuhan immediately took out the roster and read it, and then said to Zhu Han,
"Dear Master, her name is Sophia."
"Bring this woman back to me, and the rest will be rewarded to the soldiers according to their merits after returning to Jinling." Zhu Han ordered.
Xu Da, Hu Dahai and others were very happy and quickly responded.
The next step that Zhu Han needs to solve is naturally to reopen the Shipping Department in Quanzhou and restore Quanzhou's trade.
With the nautical charts left by Semu Renren and the navigation logs of Nanyang, Zhu Han ordered Hu Dahai to inventory the warehouses and docks in Quanzhou and the surrounding merchant ships. He needed to resume sailing to Nanyang as soon as possible within three months. trade, and within a year, have a fleet of no less than a hundred large ships.
After hearing Zhu Han's decision, Hu Dahai suddenly felt very high-spirited!
Because based on this scale, it exceeds what Hui Hui people have been doing in Quanzhou for hundreds of years.
The most exported items from Quanzhou Port to Nanyang are silk, tea, porcelain, medicinal materials and books.
Regarding the categories of these goods, Zhu Han immediately made the latest changes, increasing the export of porcelain, and strictly controlling the output of intellectual goods such as books.
Among these exported books, many are about science and technology, agriculture, etc., and for the Tianxiang Tianfang Sect, these are advanced knowledge that they have never had.
Zhu Han decided not to sell it to them anymore. Isn't this simply raising a thief?
…………
Hanyang, the capital of Tianwan Empire.
In Hanyang City, a burst of noisy shouts of killing were heard everywhere in Hanyang City.
A red flag held high fluttered back and forth in Hanyang City.
The Prime Minister's Mansion of Ni Wenjun, the Prime Minister of the Tianwan Empire, was already filled with blood.
It was obvious that the defenders of Prime Minister Ni Wenjun's Mansion could not hold on for much longer. The fate that awaited them would inevitably be a bloody and cruel massacre.
Chen Youliang's soldiers gathered more and more, and they had already surrounded Ni Wenjun's mansion.
He couldn't help but show a winner's smile. Chen Youliang sent someone to shout loudly to Prime Minister Fu Fu of the Prime Minister's Mansion,
"Surrender quickly!"
"Ni Wenjun was killed for his rebellion. As long as the rest of you surrender, you will be spared!"
"Surrender quickly!"
"Surrender quickly!"
Chen Youliang's soldiers followed and shouted loudly.
Ni Wenjun, the Prime Minister of the Tianwan Empire, once had all the power in the government and the public. He could be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. However, he made a fatal mistake, that is, he ignored Chen Youliang.
As for Ni Wenjun, he deserves to die.
Ni Wenjun had selfish ambitions for wealth and honor. He once made peace with the Yuan Dynasty and wanted to compromise and surrender!
However, in the end, the terms were not negotiated and the deal was finally abandoned.
After Ni Wenjun came to power, he was very disrespectful to Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui and often insulted Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui. Moreover, last month, Ni Wenjun was no longer satisfied with being a prime minister. He planned to murder Xu Shouhui and then usurp it himself. Imperial throne.
However, a group of generals loyal to Xu Shouhui foiled Ni Wenjun's conspiracy.
Ni Wenjun escaped from the palace and went straight to his general Chen Youliang. He wanted to use Chen Youliang's troops to directly rebel and kill Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui.
However, Chen Youliang will not be manipulated and controlled by Ni Wenjun.
He wants to be a hero!
Chen Youliang took advantage of Ni Wenjun's unpreparedness, beheaded Ni Wenjun, and then took his head back to attack Prime Minister Ni Wenjun's Mansion in Hanyang City.
Today, Ni Wenjun's head is raised high on a spear.
There was already a wailing in Ni Wenjun's house.
They are all Ni Wenjun's die-hard loyalists and relatives. Even if they want to surrender, they will definitely not end well.
"Since you refuse to surrender, then kill them all!"
"Leave no one behind!" Chen Youliang said with a cruel smile.
"Kill! Kill!"
With more and more Chen Youliang's troops outside, Chen Ni Wenjun's troops in the Prime Minister's Mansion were completely defeated soon.
Chen Youliang's troops entered Prime Minister Ni Wenjun's palace and began to kill all men, women and children. Ni Wenjun's eighty-year-old mother was also pulled into the courtyard by Chen Youliang's generals and stabbed to the core with a knife. .
Ni Wenjun's three young children, the youngest of whom was only three months old, were also thrown to death on the steps. Chen Youliang's ungrateful behavior was not criticized by many people in the Tianwan Empire, because after Ni Wenjun's death , Chen Youliang immediately annexed his authority.
Chen Youliang made no secret of his ambition to monopolize power!
Chen Youliang massacred Ni Wenjun's relatives in Hanyang, and Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui actually felt that Chen Youliang was a loyal minister.
After hearing that Ni Wenjun had been killed, Xu Shouhui immediately sent someone to summon Chen Youliang to the palace.
Emperor Tianwan Xu Shouhui sent someone to recruit Chen Youliang into the palace and prepared to give Chen Youliang a reward.
However, when Chen Youliang entered the palace, Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui's face turned as pale as a blank sheet of paper.
Because Chen Youliang had just come from Ni Wenjun's mansion for a killing spree, and he was covered in dirt and blood. The generals behind him were all fierce, and the swords and guns in their hands were still full of blood. He walked to the Hanyang Palace in such a swagger. within.
"See Your Majesty!"
Chen Youliang stood in the main hall of the palace and said in a loud voice.
Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was as frightened as a withered tree.
He originally called Chen Youliang in, hoping that he would serve him wholeheartedly, so that Xu Shouhui could truly control the entire Tianwan Empire.
However, seeing Chen Youliang's appearance now, Xu Shouhui knew that this Chen Youliang was a more terrifying person than Ni Wenjun.
The reward that Xu Shouhui had in mind could not be expressed for a while.
He only shivered several times, but in the end he didn't say a word.
When Chen Youliang saw this, he felt very disdainful!
It's really ridiculous that Xu Shouhui, a useless person like him, actually thinks he can be some kind of emperor.
However, Chen Youliang still needs to use Xu Shouhui's name to control the Red Turban Army generals stationed in various places.
He gave a pretentious salute and said to Xu Shouhui, "Your Majesty, the traitor Ni Wenjun has rebelled and has been executed by his entire family. The traitor's head is being displayed in Hanyang City. I ask your Majesty to issue an order to pardon Ni Wenjun and the remaining generals, so that The common people feel at ease and the soldiers feel at ease!"
