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

Chapter 86 Black Technology Map
As Tianyu said,
It is easy to conquer a country but difficult to defend it.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the tent with a sad face.

It stands to reason that with his current strength, it would be easy for him to take over a province.
But he only conquered a few states before his progress stalled.

There is no other reason except lack of manpower. There is no one to manage the captured cities.

With the help of weapons, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly conquered several states.

But the biggest problem after the uprising arose at this time.
He has no management talent.

Xu Da and Tang He were both military generals. It was not a big problem for them to fight in battles while being ill, but they were simply not cut out for politics or governance.

Soldiers composed of civilians have low cultural level and uneven quality.
The saying that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people is not just a simple discrimination.

It is because of the lack of universal education and the weak secular moral concepts among the poor people that some natural laws are created for the purpose of reproduction.

For example, if these 30 troops have nothing to do for a long time, they will inevitably become weak in willpower due to the long-term comfortable life, and even develop arrogance and extravagance.

In history, there were many soldiers who captured cities and ate and drank for free, had sex for free, and even raped women.

Although brainwashing has temporarily focused their attention on metaphysics,
But as time went by, Zhu Yuanzhang had no idea how many non-commissioned officers he had executed who had harmed the people.

If it weren't for the deterrence of the cavalry, there might have been a mutiny by now.

When you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex.
Human desires are endless.

When there are enough people, groups and classes, large or small, will emerge. This is inevitable.

Perhaps continuing to wage war would keep the soldiers from having any extra time to think about other things.

However, if the logistics management cannot keep up and the captured cities cannot convert their own manpower, then the battle will be meaningless.

It stands to reason that an uprising army like Zhu Yuanzhang, which raised the banner of anti-Yuan, would inevitably have some "advisers" and "people with lofty ideals" joining it.

But the problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang’s slogan was not to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and restore the Song Dynasty, but rather, “Are there any different kinds of kings, princes, generals, and ministers?” and “All people are equal under heaven.”

This kind of rhetoric was more terrifying to the entire scholar-official class and landlord class than the Yuan Dynasty's rule.

Everyone rebelled just to get the credit of following the emperor, so that they could look down on these peasants from the government in the future.

As a result, you directly deny the superiority of the scholar-officials for thousands of years, and instead say that we serve the people?
This is intolerable. I can tolerate my uncle, but I cannot tolerate my aunt.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang had very few civil servants.
Zhu Yuanzhang had very high requirements for military discipline, so the soldiers who had to walk on the edge of a knife all day long were naturally under great pressure.

This was not the third year of Hongwu, so Zhu Yuanzhang could not set up the imperial examination system to recruit scholars.

In desperation, he had to run back to Taoyuan Township to ask Tianyu for help.

Therefore, when Tianyu saw Zhu Yuanzhang with a sad face, he finally realized that the three years of begging had been a great training for Zhu Chongba.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tianyu with a wry smile and said:

"Lord of the Land, I read in a book that talent can bring wealth, and wealth can support talent. It said that we can work in a watch factory or a machinery factory. I have been looking for a long time in the city but I can't find any jobs that employ workers..."

Tianyu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang as if he were a fool.
This kid has become stupid from studying...

Tianyu sighed helplessly:
"You are farming..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned at first, then he lowered his head in shame.

Because some of the ideas in Tianyu's books were too advanced, Zhu Yuanzhang even forgot that soldiers in this dynasty needed to farm the land when they had nothing to do.

Tianyu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang speechlessly and said:
"It just so happens that your second brother has improved a batch of hybrid rice seeds. Take them back this time and order the soldiers to cultivate the land. The income after the harvest will be collected according to the taxes paid by normal farmers." Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips.

"According to normal farmer standards?"

He remembered that all the grain from military farms in previous dynasties had been handed over as war reserves, while the grain tax in Taoyuan Township was only one tenth.

Compared with the Yuan Dynasty's 78% tax to %, % tax to %, or even % tax to , it is almost free.

Tianyu glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and said:
"In the long run, your greatest advantage now is that you can quickly build a wall with the things I gave you."

"You only need to include the land reclaimed by the soldiers within the city walls to prevent the fields from being destroyed by the Yuan army."

"So you don't need to rush to expand, and naturally you don't need to stockpile too much food at once. This is a slow and meticulous process. If you don't give enough benefits, no one will work hard for you."

"The imperial court didn't use military force against you? How can you still have the leisure to come to me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and responded:
"We have used it. They came several times but were repelled by us. Now there is no movement."

At the beginning, the Yuan army thought that Zhu Yuanzhang's forces were scattered in several states, and they only needed to send hundreds of thousands of soldiers to besiege the city, and they could attack and strangle him before their reinforcements arrived.

As a result, on the second day after the enemy arrived at the city,
Tang He and Xu Da had already led their armies from the two neighboring states to attack at the same time.

The Yuan army that was attacking the city was suddenly attacked from behind and fled back to Dadu in a panic, leaving behind tens of thousands of remaining soldiers.

They never dreamed that Tianyu had not yet developed long-distance communication tools such as radio.

However, the maps held by Zhu Yuanzhang and others were shared in real time.

If you want to convey any message, you only need to use stones to place corresponding text buildings, and you can share the message to the other side instantly.

The timeliness of this thing is exactly the same black technology as quantum communication.

It was basically impossible for the Yuan Dynasty to win by attacking from behind.

After failing once,
The officials in the imperial court were very cautious about the revolutionary army established by Zhu Yuanzhang.

No one is willing to take on this tough task.

So they compared them and immediately turned their attention to attacking the Red Turban Army.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to leave his base and return to Taoyuan Township to ask Tianyu for advice.

Tianyu was speechless when he heard that the Yuan army had no movement.
The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were more... um... barbaric than any other dynasty in history?
The reason they conquered large tracts of land was just for enjoyment.
After enjoying for several decades, the military equipment has become appallingly poor. The only reason those generals can still fight on horseback is because they grew up on horseback.

No wonder it was basically the Prime Minister Tuotuo who led the wars in the later period, because the people under him were basically rotten.

Tianyu rolled his eyes and suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"If you don't have talented people, you can go and hire them. Didn't Liu Bei get Zhuge Liang after three visits? You know who those truly talented counselors are. Why not invite them in advance?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Yes, the God of Land’s heavenly book predicted many major historical events for us, and it also contained many anecdotes about famous people.

Since it is unlikely that they will surrender according to the original trajectory,

But you can go and rob it yourself... bah... you can just ask for it yourself!

　Ah, it's so uncomfortable, I have a headache and can't sleep, damn
