I was pulling trees in Daming, and Lao Zhu begged me to come out of retirement

Chapter 116: The Ming Empire, the World's Enemy

At this time, Chen Youliang in Taiping was in ecstasy.
Because he captured a great deal of booty after conquering Taiping,
The magical treasure of the Ming Dynasty!
Since Chen Youliang launched the war without declaring war,

In addition, Taiping was just a small ferry, and the city wall next to the river was only 10 meters high.

You have to know that Chen Youliang’s warships were more than 9 meters high, and the soldiers rushed up to the city wall using short ladders.

Ultimately, the Xianziwei stationed here by Zhu Yuanzhang had no time to reinforce the city walls before the city was completely captured.

And those backpacks and the MC blocks in the backpacks all became Chen Youliang's spoils.

However, the MC blocks provided by Tianyu do not have the so-called owner recognition program. These ancient "villagers" can be used normally by anyone who gets them.

If they were used on a large scale in wars, it would only be a matter of time before they were leaked to the enemy. However, because Zhu Yuanzhang had fought relatively few foreign wars before and had used mc blocks relatively rarely, these treasures were not leaked.

Now that Chen Youliang had caught Zhu Yuanzhang off guard, the MC technology controlled by the Xianzi Guard, which had not had time to evacuate, naturally fell into Chen Youliang's hands.

At this time, Chen Youliang was constantly taking out the raw stone blocks from his backpack.
In less than a moment, a two-meter-high wall appeared in front of him.

Chen Youliang and Zou Pusheng's eyes flashed with brilliance.
Chen Youliang said with admiration:

"This must be the magic treasure that the peasant used to defeat the Yuan Dynasty cavalry. It is indeed magical. With this thing, the soldiers can defend the city and fight at any time."

Zou Pusheng nodded repeatedly and said:

"If we have this kind of hidden power, we won't be afraid of those Yuan dogs either. That damn Zhu Chongba is just relying on the favor of the immortals."

Chen Youliang frowned upon hearing this.

"Does this mean that there is indeed a god behind that guy? What if we go and attack him and anger the gods?"

Zou Pusheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze full of ruthlessness:

"According to Zhu Chongba's propaganda, the gods came down to earth to save all living beings. It just happened that he was chosen as the spokesperson. However, if we can show more valuable combat power than Zhu Yuanzhang, it may not be impossible for the gods to favor us."

Chen Youliang's eyes lit up.
Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs; sages are unkind and treat the people as straw dogs.

The purpose of the gods is to save the world and help people. Since I can also use the magic treasures of the gods, it means that I am also qualified to gain the favor of the gods.

When he thought of this, Chen Youliang waved his hand.
"Quickly familiarize yourself with these treasures. In the next battle, we will give Zhu Chongba, the peasant, a surprise."

Zou Pusheng bowed and responded loudly, then excitedly walked to the training ground with his backpack on his back.

Chen Youliang's pioneering move attracted the attention of various forces.

Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, who had already defected to the Yuan Dynasty again at this time, were overjoyed when they heard the news, and reported the news to Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty as fast as they could.

The Yuan Dynasty nobles, who were originally in a state of panic, saw an opportunity and immediately stopped the internal strife and prepared to unite against the outside world.

They sent an army of 60 to besiege Zhu Yuanzhang's two heavily guarded cities, Zhengzhou in Henan and Jiaoao (Qingdao) in Shandong, to prevent him from sending troops to support Yingtian.

Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen provided hundreds of thousands of dan of grain to Yuan Dadu via sea routes.

A large number of landlord armed forces emerged from Zhu Yuanzhang's territory and caused chaos in various cities.

For a time, the Ming Empire became the target of public criticism on the Chinese battlefield.

Reports from various states were transmitted to Yingtian from all directions.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat at the head of the huge conference room with a sullen face, looking at Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and other ministers and asked coldly:
"Do you have anything to say?"

The counselors looked at each other in bewilderment. Even though they were mentally prepared, they still found the current situation extremely difficult.

Although they have such a strong military force, they have been targeted by so many people. Liu Bowen said calmly:
"Your Majesty should know that you had anticipated the current situation when you formulated your national policy."

When he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang intended to completely overthrow the feudal landlords and establish a constitutional monarchy with republican attributes, even he was scared out of his wits.

Liu Bowen said with a serious expression:

"There are countless landlords in the world. All power, no matter how big or small, is in the hands of the nobles and landlords. Your Majesty's policy of returning land to the public is tantamount to digging out their roots. Now that we have an opportunity, we will definitely try our best to stop your Majesty's power from continuing to grow."

Ye Chen, Zhang Yi and others who had just surrendered to the audience broke out in cold sweats.

What the hell did I hear?
Zhu Yuanzhang fought against the landlords not to raise military funds, but to wipe out the entire landlord class?

Isn't this just relying on one's own strength to fight against the whole world?

At this time, the two were already considering whether to run away early.

Ye Chen swallowed and said:
"How about we spread the word that we will no longer target the local landlords? Although the Yuan army and Chen Youliang's army are approaching, the real trouble is the local landlords' armed forces. They fundamentally control the discourse power of each county and township, and the grassroots people have no way to resist them."

"It would be unwise to abandon the support of the landlords for the sake of the poor."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Ye Chen, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and he said calmly:

"Fight for world domination? No, we have never intended to fight for world domination. We just want to return the world to the people. The world belongs to the people, not the landlords, and certainly not the court."

"In the whole world, ordinary people occupy 9% of the population, but only control 1% of the resources. This is unfair. Abandoning 9% of the people to win over the 1% of the nobles is a foolish act."

"We are not short of money and food now. What we lack is people, people with wisdom. Without destruction, there is no construction. Your Confucian policy of keeping the people ignorant for thousands of years has killed the people's desire to fight."

"So, it is impossible to change the national policy. Not only should it not change, but it should also be shouted out loud, with proclamations issued to enlighten the people. These are just ghosts and monsters. The God of Land once said that dignity lies only on the edge of the sword, and truth lies only within the range of the cannon."

"Since they want to die, then let them do it!"

A chilling voice slowly flowed out of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth.
Ye Chen and Zhang Yi looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in front of the table in shock.
The reason why Confucianism has been passed down for so many years is not because the Confucian ideological rule is conducive to the emperor's management of the people.

The more you know, the more complicated your mind will be and the more difficult it will be to manage. This is a good thing for the emperor's family.

Originally, they thought Zhu Yuanzhang was just trying to win the hearts of the people.

As it turns out now, the other party actually has no intention of ascending the imperial throne above everyone else.

Crazy, this guy is crazy!

Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang below were both looking at Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly.

Constitutional monarchy is the system that ministers have always dreamed of.

The prime minister is responsible for handling national affairs, and for the advisers who follow him, the power he holds is much greater than that of the feudal imperial system.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Xu Da and asked:
"How are the preparations going?"

Xu Da showed a confident expression on his face and said:

"With the help of the Lord God, it has been almost completed."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and shouted:
"If he wants to fight, then let's fight. Let them see the terror of our Ming Dynasty's iron army!"

Xu Da, Tang He and other generals shouted excitedly: "Yes!"
