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

Chapter 123: Ming Dynasty Rushing Towards the Mythical Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chen Youliang with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand without any expression as if he was facing a mortal enemy.

Chen Youliang suddenly looked terrified.
Reach out? What do you mean?!

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that Chen Youliang obviously did not understand the meaning of shaking hands.

He quickly withdrew his hand, clasped his hands and said:
"Brother Chen, don't misunderstand me. I just like you as a person."

Chen Youliang became even more frightened.

Holy shit, this guy actually wants to stab me?!
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Pooh!"

"I meant your military talents."

"Our Ming Empire is an inclusive united empire with the Chinese nation as its cultural core. Since it is called a united empire, naturally there will not be only one party ruling."

"The world is big. Even the Yuan Dynasty only occupied four-fifths of the world's land. Uh... In short, there are still many undeveloped countries in the world. For example, there is an ancient continent on the other side of the ocean, called North America. There are mountains full of gold, called San Francisco, and there is a legendary secret treasure, Wanpisi. It is said that it was the treasure left behind when Qin Shihuang ordered Xu Fu to find the elixir of immortality."

Zhu Yuanzhang said mysteriously to Chen Youliang in a low voice:

"It is said that there is a legendary elixir of life there!"

Chen Youliang opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was like a charlatan, and felt that his brain was not working well.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to seduce Chen Youliang with shining eyes and said:
"There is one advantage to being an emperor: you get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, work more than donkeys, and eat less than pigs."

"Look at me. Apart from organizing the army, I usually only need to make decisions on major matters. The smaller matters are all handed over to the ministers below who are willing to go down in history."

"Whenever you have time, you can go on a secret visit to pick up girls, understand the people's sentiments, and then focus on production and technology, and the national strength will rise rapidly."

"At this stage, the desires that can be satisfied are so tiny. Don't forget what our original intention was. Just surrender. Our goal is to drive out the Tartars and restore China. There is no conflict between us. As long as the Chinese are in charge, it doesn't matter who they are."

"If you really want to be the boss, wait until the Central Plains is completely settled, and let you be the prime minister for three years to experience it. Do you know what a prime minister is? It is a minister with more power than the emperor."

Chen Youliang listened to the puzzling words coming out of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth and nodded his head subconsciously.

He kept Xu Shouhui around just to give himself some buffer space.

As a ruthless man who could send the head of his old boss and brother to Xu Shouhui to seek credit, dignity and loyalty are all nonsense.

In his previous life, he was shot to death by a hidden arrow and had no time to surrender.

Now that he has the opportunity to surrender, he naturally won't be so ungrateful.

So Chen Youliang surrendered,
Chen Youliang, who had the best chance of ascending the throne at the end of the Yuan Dynasty in history, surrendered to the Ming Empire.

Zou Pusheng, Zhang Dingbian and others on the side saw their boss surrender and naturally did not resist anymore.

Zhu Yuanzhang's elite troops were expanded again.

On the way to respond to the sky,
Tang He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in confusion and asked:
"Brother Chongba, why do you want to keep Chen Youliang? This guy doesn't have a very good reputation."

Chen Youliang was a ruthless man who believed that violence could solve everything. Although he gathered a large number of subordinates, he was lazy in terms of military morale. Except for his diehard followers Zou Pusheng and Zhang Dingbian, the other generals had complaints about him.

If Xu Shouhui was not still alive, some of his men would have run away.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.

It was obvious that he was in a very good mood at this moment.

He smiled slowly at Tang He and said:
"The Land God once said that even a dog has his due role, ruthless and merciless, and will do anything to achieve his goals. Don't you think he fits the temperament of the Pirate King that the Land God described?"

"Now that the Japanese pirates are rampant, they are taking advantage of the situation to rob the people along the coast. We can just give them a taste of their own medicine."

"Now that we have steam turbines, our ships can sail far, not to mention Japan, even North America that Master Tianyu mentioned is no problem." "What we lack now is people, a large population. With the bravery of our warriors, we can bring the remaining one-fifth of the world into our Chinese territory."

"What is great unification? This is real great unification. When the time comes, all we need to do is to follow the example of Qin Shi Huang who burned books and buried scholars alive and unified culture. Then, no matter how the world changes, it will be controlled by us Chinese people."

"Have you forgotten what the Earth Lord said? The real way to expand the territory is through cultural invasion. Only after everyone recognizes that they are Chinese can the world belong to China!"

Tang He felt his scalp tingling when listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's bold words. Now that the imperial court has not even been overthrown, Zhu Yuanzhang has actually made conquering the world his life goal.

Tang He once again looked at Chen Youliang in silence for a few seconds.

If he knew that his elder brother wanted him to be a pirate, he would probably fight to the death with Zhu Yuanzhang on the spot, right?
After all, Chen Youliang was originally a fisherman. After going around in circles, he ended up going back to the same place. Anyone would be driven crazy.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about that.

He led Chen Youliang and his party directly to meet Tianyu.

"Lord Tianyu."

In public, Zhu Yuanzhang still half-knelt and bowed respectfully towards the sky.

Chen Youliang and others looked at the handsome young man in front of them with fear and shock.

Is this the immortal behind Zhu Yuanzhang?! He is so young!
Tianyu glanced at Chen Youliang and others, then turned to Zhu Yuanzhang and said excitedly:

"Where's what I want?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly and respectfully took out Chang Yuchun's giant axe from his backpack and handed it to Tianyu.

Zhang Dingbian's pupils shrank.
He recognized at a glance that this was the weapon of the fierce general who had fought against him.

Tianyu took the axe and examined it.
A smile immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough!"

Tianyu looked at the axe as if he was looking at a beautiful woman. "The originally clumsy proficiency has become handy, and the number of enhancements has also increased by one level."

Tianyu, who created the steam turbine, originally thought that it was about to enter the industrial revolution stage.
He completed the Craftsman's Soul series of achievements and successfully created the first Craftsman's Soul weapon, the Steel Battle Axe.

This kind of craftsman soul tool has unparalleled lethality to the corresponding minerals.

And they can also be reinforced with a variety of materials.

For example, quartz can add a sharpness attribute to weapons.

The data shows that the attack damage is increased.

Level one can add up to 8 points of additional attack damage, while a person’s health is only 20 points.

It is almost equivalent to doubling Chang Yuchun's attack power.

Combined with the charge buff of the battle axe, Chang Yuchun was able to achieve the terrifying feat of cutting three people in half with one axe.

The axe in Chang Yuchun's hand also successfully changed its proficiency from [clumsy] to [handy] with this battle record.
Therefore, the axe gains an extra reinforcement chance, and Tianyu can use quartz to increase its sharpness to level 2, and the attack damage is also increased from the original +8 to +10.

This means that Chang Yuchun only needs to keep killing enemies to continuously improve his strength.

If they develop the Artisan Soul Armor to improve their overall defense and vitality, they may become invulnerable super soldiers in the future...

If you add enchantments such as explosion protection and fire protection,

Tianyu's eyes flashed with a look that made Zhu Yuanzhang feel numb.
This wave of the Ming Dynasty world has been promoted to the fantasy Ming Dynasty!
