A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 6
It was not that Yan Ling had never thought of doing it himself and unifying the country at the end of the Yuan Dynasty by himself.

However, after careful consideration, he finally gave up the idea.

First, it can't be beaten.

The quality of the rebels at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was ranked high among the last dynasties in Chinese history. Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Kuo Kuo Timur, Ming Yuzhen, Fang Guozhen, Li Siqi, Chen Youding...

And he, before time travel, was just a poor college student with nothing but knowledge of history.

How can he compete for the world with these outstanding people who can separate themselves by relying on their own talents?The glass soap making method, gunpowder one thing and two things, the liberal arts students expressed their inability to explain.

On the other hand, he has played the Family Game 99 times. This game is extremely realistic. Everything is calculated strictly according to history and using powerful computers. It is very accurate. However, Yan Ling is somewhat sure that the Yan Family will always be a family. exist.

Secondly, even if he finally succeeds in creating a dynasty, the question becomes, will he be the person in charge behind the scenes, or will he completely ignore the country?
It's definitely not possible to be the emperor forever. His son can't stand him first. How can there be a prince in the world who can continue to be the emperor?By the same token, as for the person behind the scenes, the current emperor would not be able to bear having a guy on his head. He is just immortal, not immortal.

Regardless of the country, the problem is even more problematic. The former can at least provide some guidance for the development of his dynasty by virtue of his understanding of some historical figures. The latter will fend for itself. In Chinese history, dynasties with shorter dynasties died after the second generation, while dynasties with longer dynasties did not last long. 300 years. The problem is that if Yan Ling managed the family well, he would have been able to survive at least the nearly 300 years of the Ming Dynasty. Good guy, he went from the least to the most. How can this be justified?

Therefore, after careful consideration, Yan Ling decided to follow the path of the aristocratic family.

Then you have to rely on one group of heroes to survive.

No need to say who to rely on.

Moreover, in March of the 15th year of Zhizheng, Qingyuan Road had been captured by Fang Guozhen, so there was no need to worry about the Yuan Ting's revenge after he made a name for himself with the rebels.

Fang Guozhen is also unambitious. He only wants to separate himself from one side and doesn't have to worry about what will happen to his family.

After packing up, the Yan family members quickly left here, boarded a boat on the riverside, and headed straight for Taiping Mansion.

Brother Yuanzhang, here I come.
-
A group of people had gathered beside the Caishi River. Judging from their clothes, it was clear that the identities of these people were not simple.In the middle of the crowd was a majestic-looking young man, but it was Zhu Yuanzhang.

The sun had passed for a long time, but there was still no movement on the river. Finally, a voice of dissatisfaction came out from the crowd: "Marshal, he is just a merchant, why do you do this, and ask me to come here to welcome him? I think you think too highly of him." Come on!"

The speaker was Chang Yuchun, who was standing next to Zhu Yuanzhang.

He looked down on Yan Ling, and of course he had his reasons. Chang Yuchun was a very "crazy" person. He was so crazy that he just brought a dozen bandits to Zhu Yuanzhang's camp and asked for the Pioneer's seal. But after In the subsequent quarrying battle, Chang Yuchun took the lead and broke through the Yuan army's line with his own strength, and the rebel army defeated the Yuan army.

A bloody battle established Chang Yuchun's status, and he had crazy capital.

And this sentence is not only his complaint, but also the voice of all the generals.

Imagine that they all worked hard with swords and fire to be appreciated by their superiors. At this time, a boy who has not made any merits is greeted by them with such a courtesy. Who can be convinced?When Chang Yuchun said this, the crowd suddenly became noisy, and several generals of the Chaohu navy were particularly dissatisfied. After all, they were both navy, and it would definitely be their benefit to seize it after the other party came.

"Yeah, he's just a merchant."

"Marshal, just send a general to wait for him. Who is he to deserve such a gift?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed secretly. Why would he be willing to treat a guy who was younger than himself and a businessman like this?
But who told the other party to bring the ships that the rebels urgently need now?Zhu Yuanzhang had no idea how big the ship was. After all, he had never seen it. He only heard people say it was a "giant ship", so he couldn't wait to agree to the Yan family's surrender.Thinking about it now, this sea ship is a giant ship, aren't those behemoths of the Yuan army also?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt sad. It was just a merchant's home. How could there be such a ship?He even had the urge to leave and go back to the camp. There were so many rebels, and it was a waste of time to wait here.

But now that the appearance has been made, you can't take it back, right?
That's all, just for the reputation of a polite and virtuous corporal.

I just hope it won't be too different, at least not as completely helpless as before, that's all.

In August and September of the 15th year of Zhengzheng, the rebel army's two attacks on Jiqing ended in failure. The navy of the Yuan Dynasty played a big role. As soon as the tall ship was released to the shore, the rebel soldiers were frightened. His so-called naval forces were like ants in front of the Yuan Dynasty's warships. They didn't even need to move, they simply rushed over and caused the rebel navy to overturn and suffered heavy losses.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's desire for ships had reached an unimaginable level. When he heard that the Yan family had come to deliver three ships, he was overjoyed and decided to bring all the generals to welcome him.

In the distance, there was the sound of breaking water waves.

Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads and look into the distance.

It was so foggy on the river that I couldn't see clearly. I could only hear the oars hitting the water in a row, making a loud sound.

"Marshal, it's Yuan Ting's navy that's coming, right?" Someone suddenly said in a trembling voice. His words made everyone's hearts suddenly lift.

Yes, such a huge sound is just like the Yuan army warship.

Is it really true?This is not good. At this time, all the high-ranking officials of the rebel army are on the riverside. They are about to be wiped out in one fell swoop!

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, he felt a little chilly in his heart. His lips moved, and just when he was about to call the generals back to camp, his open mouth suddenly froze in place.

In the mist, the giant ship gradually revealed its true appearance. The tall hull was extremely majestic, as solid and straight as a city wall, with a large flag with the word "strict" flying on it.

The generals stopped retreating, their eyes gradually widened, and something seemed to be stuck in their throats, and the words they were speaking turned into "uh-uh" sounds.

It was a mountain, a real hill on the sea.

Standing on the shore and looking up at it, I just feel so small.

This is the long-distance sand ship that the Yuan Dynasty is proud of. When it conquered Japan, it was this ship that carried the Yuan army.

A total of nine thousand stones, even the Yuan Ting warships on the Jiqing River that day did not reach such a tonnage, and were three times larger than the Yuan Ting commander Manzi Hague's ship.

This is of course not the Yan family's own. In fact, it would be wishful thinking for just one family to build one such ship, let alone three.

This is official from the Yuan Dynasty.

Speaking of which, this is due to a policy of Yuan Ting.
