Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 6 Chen Youliang's remaining party and fierce general Zhang Dingbian

Gang leader Zhang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Fourth Master Zhu to just put away his knife.

"You won't kill me?" he asked coldly.

"The leader of the gang is a great hero. I am a hero who cannot be killed with a sword." Fourth Master Zhu smiled.

"Hmph, don't think you can conquer me and the Yulong Gang just like this." Gang Leader Zhang snorted coldly, "Back then, someone promised me to be a general, but I didn't even care."

After hearing this, Fourth Master Zhu became even more curious about the identity of the gang leader.

However, he kept a calm expression on his face and spread his hands: "I'm here today to say hello to you. Within three months, your Yulong Gang will definitely surrender to me."

After hearing this, Gang Leader Zhang laughed loudly: "I am Zhang Dingbian! Once I have the long sword in my hand, I will be invincible in the world, why do I need to bend down and obey others?"

Fourth Master Zhu was stunned.

Zhang Dingbian? It turned out to be this guy.

The most powerful general under Chen Youliang led his three warships to charge directly at Zhu Yuanzhang during the Battle of Poyang Lake.

Take Yuan Zhang's head from a million troops!
Zhu Yuanzhang was really frightened in that charge.

Zhang Dingbian was full of courage and unstoppable. He killed several of Zhu Yuanzhang's generals one after another and fought his way straight to Zhu Yuanzhang.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang panicked and was almost beheaded.

At the critical moment, Chang Yuchun shot Zhang Dingbian with an arrow.

Zhang Dingbian, who was shot, was unable to fight anymore and had to retreat, but no one dared to stop him.

"He is tall and tall, good at war, boxing, and Qihuang. He is eager for justice and will draw his sword to help when there is injustice on the road."

This is the record of Zhang Dingbian in history books.

However, Chen Han died later, and Zhang Dingbian's whereabouts became a mystery.

"The building has collapsed, but the single pillar holding up the sky comforts the soldiers, disarms and returns to the countryside; he takes his wife and children, wanders around the country, and changes his name to avoid disaster."

Who would have thought that Zhang Dingbian would come to the capital and be the leader of the Yulong Gang.

……

After Zhang Ding finished speaking, he realized that he had been exposed.

He had never met an opponent in his life, and today he was defeated by an old man. He was so angry that he blurted out the words.

"It turns out to be Captain Zhang." Fourth Master Zhu laughed loudly, "No wonder, the brothers of the Yulong Gang are all good at fighting."

The doubts in his mind were suddenly cleared.

Zhang Dingbian is a fierce general as famous as Chang Yuchun, so he is naturally good at training troops. Eighty percent of the three thousand Qingyi of the Yulong Gang are his old troops, how can they not be good at fighting?

And the big boat on the river is even less strange.

At that time, Chen Youliang's navy had the most powerful fleet.

"Chen Youliang's big ship is painted red as its name. The big one can hold 3,000 people, the medium one can hold 2,500 people, and the small one can hold more than 1,000 people."

"Youliang's large-scale ships, hundreds of them, all several feet high, decorated with red paint, each ship has three layers, and a horse stable is set up, so people on and off the ship can't hear each other."

Zhang Dingbian's old troops must also have mastered those shipbuilding technologies.

Fourth Master Zhu was thinking freely.

If we had these shipbuilding technologies and could build big ships and follow the example of Columbus, we might be able to start the great voyage in advance.

Ming Dynasty has great potential overseas.

"Fourth Master, are you going to report to the official?" Zhang Dingbian looked murderous.

"Don't worry." Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands, "What good will it do me to report to the official? Besides, I'm still waiting for you to surrender."

He felt a heroic sympathy for Zhang Dingbian.

Zhang Ding held his fists and laughed: "Fourth Master is also a hero, please!"

In fact, he secretly admired Fourth Master Zhu, who was still so heroic despite his age.

It was Master Zhu's heroic spirit that inspired him.

Over the years, he had lost all his vigor. After the young master surrendered, he went into hiding and led a group of brothers to make a living on the river. He had already lost his fighting spirit.

Forgot that he once galloped on the battlefield, forgot that he was once brave and invincible.

He Zhang Dingbian picked up his sword and was reckless. At the age of seventeen, he defeated all the swordsmen in the green forest. Later, he followed Chen Youliang and fought in the north and south, winning all the battles.

It's the constant encounter with spring, so why should we be afraid?
"Fourth Master Zhu is still so heroic in his old age, how can I, Zhang Dingbian, be so decadent?"

The loneliness and resentment on his face was wiped away. He held a long knife in his hand and looked passionate. That generation of fierce generals was back.

……

The Yulong Gang compound.

Fourth Master Zhu and Zhang Ding were sitting across from each other, and the table was filled with wine and food.

"Come on, drink!" Zhang Ding raised his glass.

"Do it!" Fourth Master Zhu drank it all in one gulp.

After three glasses of wine, the two of them talked a lot.

Although Fourth Master Zhu is in the "enemy camp", he is like a master. His power is like the water of a river rolling eastward, unstoppable.

There are people from the Fish and Dragon Gang all around, and across from them sit the Gang who set the edge.

Even so, it couldn't suppress Fourth Master Zhu's momentum.

Zhang Dingbian thought to himself that even if they swarmed him right now, they still wouldn't be able to kill Fourth Master Zhu.

Don't look at him drinking alcohol calmly, because he just doesn't move. With a single move, he can kill the enemy at the foot of the horse with a single move, and he can retreat intact.

"The Yulong Gang." Fourth Master Zhu glanced over.

He was suddenly silent, with a smile on his lips.

At this moment, there is no movement in the silence, but there seems to be thousands of troops and horses, roaring and rumbling, but you can't smell the slightest commotion.

His shadow moves and he looks very majestic.

His shadow is quiet and he looks very heroic.

"Lieutenant, are you interested in our merger?" Fourth Master Zhu smiled, "To form a fleet, our goal is not only the capital in front of us, but also the stars and the sea."

"Don't call them Taiwei. Chen Han is dead." Zhang Ding drank a glass of wine and said, "Forget about the merger, you won't be safe with people like us."

Fourth Master Zhu smiled slightly and stopped continuing the topic.

After half an hour, he stood up and left.

Zhang Dingbian walked to the door in person and watched his back go away.

He stood there for a while, waved his hand to call someone, and said in a deep voice: "Send a message to the Marquis of Guide. We may have been exposed. Tell him not to correspond with us again."

The man nodded and left in a hurry.

……

Return to Dehou Mansion.

Chen Li, the second son of Chen Youliang, lived here. After his surrender, he was granted the title of Dehou by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although he is also a marquis, the difference is huge. He cannot enjoy the treatment of a marquis at all. He is also under surveillance and worries about being slapped at any time.

At this moment, Chen Li was in the study, looking at the letter in his hand with a look of horror on his face: "It's over, it's over, the Lieutenant and the others may have been exposed."

Standing next to him was a maid in green clothes with sharp eyes: "Master Hou, there is no need to panic. We are in secret contact with the Yulong Gang and will not be discovered."

"What I'm saying is, as long as I don't contact the Taiwei from now on, it will be fine." Chen Li nodded, then stretched out his hand to hold the maid's hand and said, "Xiao Cui, please inform me of my mother-in-law."

"I will." Xiaocui leaned into his arms, "The queen sent me here just to serve the Marquis."

Chen Li raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and murderous intent flashed deep in his eyes.

The empress in his mouth was Concubine Da Ding in the palace, who was originally his father Chen Youliang's favorite concubine.

Now, she is Zhu Yuanzhang's concubine, deeply favored by Zhu Yuanzhang, and gave birth to a son to Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is a shame for him.

But now he needs the care of Concubine Dading.

"Hey, we can't contact the Taiwei, so we lose hundreds of taels of silver every month." Chen Li sighed lightly.

The expenses for his return to Dehou Mansion actually came from Zhang Dingbian.
