A century-old family that runs through the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 7 Zhu Yuanzhang

In the Yuan Dynasty, official ships were regarded as the main body of overseas trade, and maritime foreign trade was completely monopolized by the government, and a government-business joint venture model was implemented.The ships and capital are provided by the government, and then the government selects merchants to operate them, and the profit from going to sea is [-]% to [-]%.

The Yan family has managed three sea-going ships for several generations, and under the strong financial offensive in the past few years, they have gradually taken full control of these sea-going ships.

Now, the bento should be used as a gift and dedicated to Zhu Yuanzhang.

On the shore, all the generals were stunned.

When had they ever seen such a behemoth!
While everyone was stunned, Yan Ling led his men and walked off the ship.

Looking around at the crowd, his eyes were fixed on the young man in the center, who was dressed simply but had an extraordinary bearing. The crowd surrounded him like a star over the moon, and their respect and obedience to him could be seen in every gesture. Different from the violence in his later years, Zhu Yuanzhang at this time was famous all over the world for his love of talents and courtesy.

All generals are convinced by him and are willing to die for him.

Naturally, he is not some earth-covering crescent shovel, but a dignified and dignified superior.

In fact, there is one thing about the portrait that became popular in later generations that is very outrageous. It is completely different from the picture scroll officially issued by the Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, you are vilifying the royal family and will lose your head.

If this scroll is authentic, it means that someone risked beheading to keep this thing for nearly 300 years.

By the way, if you were hiding a Yongle Grand Ceremony or something, it would be excusable. Why would you take such a big risk to hide a portrait?
So it's obviously untrue.

Here, the heroic young man has already come forward, leading the group of generals behind him.

Before Yan Ling made a move, he had already bowed deeply:
"A certain generation has passed away tens of thousands of rebel soldiers. I have thanked you for your support. Please accept your thanks!"

"How dare you? How dare you." Yan Ling hurriedly turned aside to avoid his salute. After he straightened up, he returned the salute solemnly: "Marshal, Ling has admired your name for a long time. Today I finally meet you. You are indeed very human. Ling is willing to worship you." You are the master and we will work together to achieve great things!"

This was the first time that 27-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang and 25-year-old Yan Ling met by the Caishi River. This was the 15th year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty, the fifth year of Tianwan (Xu Shouhui)'s reign, the second year of Tianyou (Zhang Shicheng)'s reign, and the Song Dynasty. (Han Lin'er) The first year of Dragon and Phoenix.

At this time, everyone no longer felt dissatisfied just now.

You must know that when the Chaohu Navy defected, although it was said to have thousands of warships, they were called warships at best, or just some fishing boats at worst. Originally, this navy was formed voluntarily by the private sector. It is impossible to have any giant ships, but even so, Zhu Yuanzhang still relies on him as the center of gravity, which shows how much he desires the navy.

Compared with these three giant sand ships, the entire rebel navy looked like a toy. The faces of the generals of the Chaohu Navy were not very good-looking. After all, they were dwarfed by comparison.

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely pleasantly surprised at this time. These three giant ships would undoubtedly play a decisive role in future water battles. He had forgotten all his previous thoughts about conferring Yan Ling and other petty officials. He had already begun Thinking about what position is worthy of him, this contribution is not small.

At this time, Yan Ling took out the second gift he gave to Zhu Yuanzhang - a wooden box.

"I heard that this man was hated by the marshal, so I specially dedicated his trap to you."

The wooden box opened, and a familiar face appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. The head had eyes wide open, filled with unwillingness.

"Chen Yexian!" Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, the generals beside him had already shouted, their voices filled with disbelief.

He is a general in charge of tens of thousands of troops!How could he die at the hands of a mere country gentleman and businessman?However, no matter how many times they wiped their eyes, they still recognized that face, the person who betrayed them at the most critical moment.

"Marshal Du (Guo Tianxu)! Deputy Marshal (Zhang Tianyou) on the right! Your souls in heaven can rest in peace!" Zhu Yuanzhang took the wooden box with trembling hands. In an instant, he burst into tears and burst into tears.He knelt down heavily on the ground, raised the wooden box high, and kowtowed to heaven.

Yan Ling had already expected this scene. As soon as he turned around, he ran behind Zhu Yuanzhang and knelt down with everyone.

This move made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was kowtowing, secretly praised in his heart. He was a master who understood rights and etiquette.

After kowtowing three times, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already in tears, raised his head, but his wails still resounded throughout the countryside, heartbreaking, making those who heard it couldn't help but shed tears, and the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but sigh when they saw this. : The marshal is truly a man of friendship!
"Congratulations to the marshal. Today, the great feud between the marshal and the right deputy marshal is avenged, which is the first joy; the marshal has obtained these three giant ships, which is the second joy; and he has a good minister under his command, which is the third joy. The third joy is coming, and it is the time to celebrate. Yes." Li Shanchang was the first to speak. He smiled and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Yes, what a happy event!"

"Marshal, don't be sad. When the two marshals saw their enemies slaying them, they must have closed their eyes."

When the generals around him heard what he said, they immediately agreed. When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also stopped crying and smiled again on his face.

Thinking that after owning three giant ships, the rebels no longer needed to fear the Yuan navy, he felt happy.

The human head lying in the box was stained with blood, but he felt more and more cute.

Yan Ling, who was following behind him, liked him more and more, so he laughed loudly:

"My acquisition of Ruixuan (Yan Ling's courtesy name Ruixuan) is like acquiring a unicorn!"

Zhu Yuanzhang praises people ().
-
From this day on, there was an additional staff officer in the Red Scarf Army Zhu Yuanzhang's department, a military aircraft staff officer whose status was second only to Li Shanchang.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to grant him a general position. Firstly, he brought the ship. Secondly, in today's troubled times, generals are the position that is easiest to get credit for and is also the most lacking.

But in the end Yan Ling refused.

The generals in the early Ming Dynasty were all very capable. Needless to say, Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, even those generals of the Chaohu navy who were not famous in later generations, were the 28th Marquis of the founding of the country. They were poor in equipment, but their ability to fight was also First class.

He himself knew that he was like Jiang Wei, "whose literary skills were worse than Zhuge's, and his military skills were worse than those of the Five Tigers." He didn't mean that he didn't know how to lead troops. After all, he still had hundreds of clan soldiers at home. I have two books. During the battle between Fang Guozhen and Yuan Ting, he had to deal with the scattered soldiers. He was still good at fighting. But if he had to deal with the generals under Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng on his own, Lao Zhu might be killed by himself. It might even turn over.

And in terms of managing logistics, he can't compare to Li Shanchang, a great figure in the world.

But he also had the experience of running a family in the 99th time, and brought a family that was not well-known in Yinxian County to No. 90. In the eighth game, Nanming was established and Emperor Hongguang ascended the throne. There were even rumors that "Yan and Zhu share Jiangnan." , which shows that he still has the ability.

Coupled with the fact that he has been in charge of the family for several years now, it is more than enough to serve as a consultant.

Moreover, it does not mean that we will no longer lead the army at all. We are engaged in business in our spare time, and when it is time to fight, we can also serve as a partial envoy.
