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

Chapter 85 Zhu Yuanzhang’s Dilemma
"What did you say~~"

"I said, Brother Chongba won the fight!"

"Point to the shining ball of light~"

"I can't hear you clearly~"

"I said!! ...Hi!"

The third sister angrily dragged Tianyu out the door.

The world didn't become quiet until we walked out of the dance hall where the sky was piled up like a pyramid.

The third sister snorted indignantly:
"What's so good about this thing?"

Tianyu shook his head and sighed:
"You don't understand, this is emotion."

And he originally planned to open a nightclub, who knows how he ended up doing square dancing.

Forget it. Taoyuan Township is now populated by a group of poor people who were once so poor that their bones were visible on their bodies. Not many of them can grow up to be like Third Sister and meet Tianyu’s aesthetic standards.

I still admire those ladies from well-educated families who are naturally elegant and refined. At the very least, I want to see the beautiful girls from landlord families so that Tianyu can take a second look at them.

The third sister rolled her eyes, then remembered the purpose of her visit:

"Lord Tianyu, the messenger has arrived. Brother Chongba and his men succeeded! I heard that they now have more than 30 elite soldiers under their command and control several states."

Tianyu sighed helplessly: "That's it?"

The third sister was stunned, looked at Tianyu who was not in high spirits, frowned and asked:
"Master Tianyu, isn't Brother Chongba very powerful?"

Tianyu shook his head. He had a copy of the map provided by Zhu Yuanzhang and others. He knew exactly where this group of Tianshen Sect members were fighting.

During the Yuan Dynasty, a state was a county, and there were several states, not even provinces yet.
With the bonus of his equipment that subverts the laws of physics, if this fails, Tianyu will doubt whether Zhu Yuanzhang is the founding emperor in history.

Although Tianyu did not give Zhu Yuanzhang systematic training,

However, the fragmented information and the general direction of the future were enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang invincible in this era, not to mention the blessing of the bug-filled book "Friends of Military and Civilian Dual-Use Talents" in the later period.

However, although Zhu Yuanzhang had worked hard to save food and grass for six years, it could only be used for early-stage supplies.

When the base of the war reaches a certain level, the material assistance that Tianyu can provide will be very limited.

At the very least, if Zhu Yuanzhang were to bring these 30-plus soldiers to Taoyuan Township to eat for free, Tianyu would probably be bankrupt in a few days.

To a certain extent, quantitative change can indeed lead to qualitative change.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not leave the palace for six years because the economic foundation determined the top-level planning.

If we can’t supply the food and fodder needed for the uprising, it will be useless to make big promises.

People follow you in this risky business just to avoid starving to death, that's all.

Therefore, the most crucial thing is whether we can withstand the stranglehold of the Yuan Dynasty.

At this time, he replaced Liu Futong and became the first to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.
After that, he faced not only the Yuan Dynasty, but also the landlord armed forces under the Yuan Dynasty.

In other words, under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the power of the aristocratic families was not prominent, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would have been oppressed even economically.

Thinking of this, Tianyu sighed unconsciously.

Damn, why can’t an RPG be made?
He casually took out a shining enchanted long sword.

I feel like I'm on a path towards fantasy and there's no turning back.

During this time, he has been trying out the formulas for the thermal weapons of the Industrial Revolution.
As a result, they failed to develop hot weapons, but successfully researched the enchantment table.
However, this thing can only enchant each weapon once, and the enchantment spell level is only level 1, which is far less useful than the magic book he got from fishing.

But the enchantment table has a good advantage.
That is, Tianyu can perform batch enchantment. As long as you spend enough experience,
Tianyu can add at least one spell to all the equipment and weapons he produces.

Although Tianyu hasn't fought monsters in all these years, the experience he has gained from high-level ores and livestock breeding is considerable.

Although the properties added by these spells are limited,
But that's relative.
Compared to those level 5 and level 4 magic books caught by fishing, this lowest level enchantment is naturally garbage.

But compared to the real world, level 1 enchantment is equivalent to strengthening iron into steel...

If all the armor of Zhu Yuanzhang's 1000 cavalrymen were equipped with level 1 protection, this cavalry would definitely be able to transform into ancient tanks and charge forward.

If you cast a spell to attract lightning on the crossbow...

Tsk tsk,

Tianyu shook his head, no longer daring to imagine how China's history would go awry in the future.

At that time, would Newton doubt his life when he looked at the motionless cube in the sky? Would Faraday collapse when he looked at the crossbow that attracted lightning?

Gravity? What the hell is gravity? Didn’t you see floating islands appearing over in China?

Gravity is pseudoscience!

Tianyu's chuckling made the third sister feel a little uneasy. Every time Lord Tianyu did this, someone would get into trouble.

The third sister looked at Tianyu and shook her head, and asked with some concern:
"So, Master Tianyu, should we help Brother Chongba?"

Tianyu waved his hand and said with a smile:

"We are just getting started. Even if something does happen, it will be a few years later."

Ancient times are not like modern times.
From deciding to go to war, to recruiting soldiers, to getting on the journey, to fighting, the imperial court would not be able to start the war without half a year or a year.

Even if a battle breaks out, the defenders will fight to defend the city. If the attackers want to capture it, they will either have to spend several times more troops than the defenders, or they will besiege the city and directly wear down the enemy to death.

In particular, the Yuan cavalry was not good at attacking cities.

At the beginning, Tuotuo sent Jia Lu to besiege Guo Zixing and others for 7 months. In the end, the city of Guo Zixing and others was not breached. Instead, Jia Lu was dragged to death by illness.

Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang had more than 30 troops and was not short of food for the time being, it was impossible for the Yuan Dynasty to take him down.

At the beginning, Liu Futong gathered more than 100,000 people and defeated the Yuan Dynasty repeatedly. Finally, the Yuan Dynasty had to change its strategy and focus its attack on the two sides in order to cut off the Red Turban Army's retreat to fight against Liu Futong.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang had an army of 30, equipped with equipment that the Yuan army feared. If the Yuan Dynasty was not sure of victory, it would never engage in a head-on war with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Just like the Yellow River flood 7 years ago,

Those who advocate repairing the river are not necessarily loyal ministers, and those who advocate not repairing the river are not necessarily treacherous ministers.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was like the Yellow River flood. If he was not careful, the entire Yuan Dynasty would be dragged down by him.

If we ignore him, the Yuan Dynasty could survive longer, but it would just have less land to rule.

However, the Mongols are far less enthusiastic about land than the Han people.

Therefore, at this time, the ministers of the Yuan Dynasty must have been arguing fiercely over whether to declare a full-scale war against Zhu Yuanzhang.

Tianyu smiled and said to the third sister:

"The next step will depend on whether Zhu Yuanzhang can convert these 30-plus civilians into usable soldiers."

The food rations Zhu Yuanzhang took away were only enough to feed 30 people for a year at most.

If he could not solve the food and fodder problem within a year, his uprising would inevitably end in failure.
