Zhu Sheng showed the nine-character mantra, which really shocked Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he had heard a lot of similar suggestions, the old man could say it so concisely and accurately, at least the level should not be bad.

Even if it is not as good as Zhang Ximeng, it is still on the same level as Li Shanchang and Jia Lu, and is worthy of reuse.

But talent is one aspect, this person is not reliable, Zhu Yuanzhang is not easy to say, he still needs to observe for a while. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang could only say that he was affectionate with this group of people and martial artists who crossed the river, and he did not dare to trust them too much.

Only a few people are qualified to participate in strategic decision-making.

"Sir, we just happen to have something to talk to you about, and we can't come up with an idea, we don't worry!"

Zhang Ximeng was stunned, and had to nod his head. He knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, and he was very sensible and did not bring other people over, just the two of them.

"What do you think we're going to do next, sir?"

Zhang Ximeng said: "What I mean is that the lord will capture Taiping Mansion as soon as possible, and then enter Jinling to establish the overall situation in the southeast. If you go east, you can take Pingjiang Mansion), take Anqing from the west, and break the southeast, then the big thing is bound to happen!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and he said again: "How many soldiers and horses did you gather in Jiangnan?"

"This... Tongling, Chizhou, and Naha's subordinates total more than 15,000 people. In addition, after the Chaohu Navy Division was reorganized, there were more than 10,000 people. We really don't have many troops." Zhang Ximeng said After telling the truth, he also understood Lao Zhu's thoughts, so he said, "My lord thinks that the army should be organized first?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply, "We defeated the Yuan army in Liuhe and Tianchang, and captured a lot of prisoners under Gaoyou City. Now in the battle with Zhou, we have captured forty or fifty thousand people, plus twenty to thirty thousand in Jiangnan. People, put together, the number of prisoners has already passed 100,000, and our old subordinates were only more than 20,000. One to five! How can we control these people? Besides, we have a concern, if these prisoners The Yuan army has destroyed our soldiers, so it's not a success!" Remember the website m.xbequge. com

Zhang Ximeng was horrified, such a powerful Zhu Yuanzhang, he really saw the crux of the problem.

In fact, Zhang Ximeng also noticed it, but he thought about rectification after entering Jinling, but Zhu Yuanzhang obviously didn't think so.

"Sir is different from us, you don't know what it's like to suffer from childhood. Originally, it was time to rectify after winning Yangzhou. But there was a battle with Hezhou, and then we had to cross the river again. It's getting bigger and bigger, but our hearts are still hanging, for fear that something big will happen. Jinling's flowery world, the most charming eyes, we're afraid that those old brothers may not be able to bear it!"

Zhang Ximeng was more and more frightened by Lao Zhu's intuition. Although Zhang Ximeng was able to do things perfectly and beautifully for so long, the real strategic decisions were made by Lao Zhu. What is amazing is that Zhu Yuanzhang never missed a big event.

At this point, Zhang Ximeng is also a five-body cast.

"What the lord said is very true. Now Zhang Shicheng is still recovering, and Xu Shouhui can't reach us for the time being. And the lord beheaded the stumbling horse and captured Tu Jian and Chen Yexian. , I think it's very suitable, but I don't know what the lord is going to do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, then said, "What else can we do? Knock the mountain and shake the tiger, and kill a hundred as an example. Pick a few bastards, we will peel them off, and the gang will know what to do."

Zhang Ximeng couldn't help grinning, he was really Zhu Yuanzhang!

Upon closer inspection, Lao Zhu has done this all his life, and it seems that the effect is not bad, at least he killed the prosperous age of Hongwu. It is absolutely impossible to simply interpret Lao Zhu's murder as a person who has a problem with his brain and likes to kill... If that's the case, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely not have the ability to rule the world. Everyone knows what the outcome of the slaughtering city is like, and at most he is just a hegemon.

Not only did Lao Zhu sit firmly in the dragon chair, but he also quickly recovered people's livelihood with outstanding results. Then I have to talk about his art of killing. To a certain extent, Lao Zhu's killing is more like a last-place elimination.

Regularly get rid of some scum, or 3% or 5% every year... From civil officials to military generals, from after crossing the river to before crossing the river, from sparse to close... It's like an old farmer plow Earth, as long as one commits a sin, one cannot escape death.

And Zhu Yuanzhang's killing is very interesting. He did not do it casually, but every time he killed one, there must be sufficient crimes and he did it in strict accordance with the laws of the country.

Maybe some cases may seem excessive in later generations, but at the legal level of the early Ming Dynasty, they are definitely iron cases.

Take Hu Dahai as an example, he was leading the troops in front, Lao Zhu found Hu Dahai's son, and his subordinates persuaded Lao Zhu not to kill... But Zhu Yuanzhang handled it neatly.

We would rather Hu Dahai betrayed rather than break the law!

In the end, Hu Dahai was more loyal than anyone else, fighting for Old Zhu in the east and west, and risking his life.

After a little understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang's style of behavior, you will understand that the higher the status and the greater the influence, the more justifiable it is. As for what kind of goose meat is used to harm people, it is simply a nonsense made by the people and cannot be put on the table. If Lao Zhu wanted to kill Xu Da, he would definitely cut the weeds down. After all, Xu Da's influence was too great to leave any hidden dangers behind.

That being the case, if you kill people with goose meat, can you still cut off the henchmen?

Certainly not!

So at the level of Xu Da, if he doesn't do it, if he wants to do it, it must be a rebellion... In fact, Xu Da just died of a normal illness.

The generals of their age were born and died, and they were all wounded. They could live to be more than fifty years old, which is already considered a long life.

"My lord, I agree with you in principle." Zhang Ximeng thoughtfully said.

"In principle?"

"It is to stand at the height of the overall situation, from a macro perspective, aiming at the entire army as a whole, we really need thunderbolt means, with a resolute attitude, implement military law, strictly enforce military discipline, and realize the unity of the upper and lower ranks, such as arm and finger. Create the maximum value of the team and realize the military commander. The ecological reaction between the two will create the most tenacious Great Wall of Discipline for the master to dominate the world!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and the more he listened, the more he frowned, "Speak to us!"

"In human words, can you be a little more accommodating in the details, such as clarifying some disciplines first, organizing and implementing them, and for first-time offenders, you can open up a little bit. Only those who are wicked will be punished severely?"

Lao Zhu snorted coldly, "After all, don't you still want us to be merciful?"

"It's not soft!" Zhang Ximeng said sternly: "My lord, the essence of punishment is to alert people. Therefore, as long as the price paid is much higher than the income. For example, if a person steals a chicken, he beats him 20 times. It is enough if the skin is open and the flesh can't get out of bed for half a month. But if you steal a chicken, you will have to behead him. Although the punishment is severe enough, it weakens the authority of beheading. Since no matter how big or small, what kind of evil I'm going to be dead, and I'm lucky to be reckless, as long as I don't get discovered."

"What does your lord think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Sir, will this be too indulgent, so that those people think that they can get away with punishment, and then act recklessly?"

Zhang Ximeng said: "My lord's worries are indeed justified. Given the current situation in the army, this is indeed the case. It is said that it is clear that a good person will not be wronged, but how many cases have been investigated, and how many things can be found out... A lot of wicked people will go unpunished, leaving military law as nothing... So my idea is to specifically increase law enforcement forces, and set up special personnel in the military who are mainly responsible for preaching military law. To make it clear to the soldiers, at the same time, there must be law enforcement officers. Violations of military law must be dealt with as soon as possible, and in front of the soldiers, they must be severely punished and warned, so that they can be effective.”

Lao Zhu was a little stunned, it sounded good, but he wasn't sure what would happen.

"Since that's the case, let's do it according to Mr.'s will... But if it doesn't work, we still have to ask, and we have to do it according to our wishes!"

Zhang Ximeng hurriedly said: "I just turned the master's meaning into a plan that can be implemented. I don't have any ideas. Even if I have, I firmly disagree with my own ideas!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a while before he understood what Zhang Ximeng meant... Lao Zhu laughed in anger, are we so scary?

"Okay, you can do it with confidence and boldness. If something goes wrong, let's take care of it. Is this the head office?"

Zhang Ximeng got his wish, in fact, he prefers to organize the army instead of the reluctant leader... Strengthen military discipline, organize logistics, cultivate talents, and establish a management system. This is also what he is good at.

Compared with a knife and a shot, it is much more stable to rush and fight **** the battlefield.

Therefore, after Lao Zhu crossed the river, Zhang Ximeng quickly gave up his position as the governor of the navy, regardless of the land, water, and horses, under the direct jurisdiction of Lao Zhu.

Moreover, when Zhang Ximeng revised the record in the future, he also downplayed this matter. He has never been a governor! Don't put hats on our heads!

After two busy days, Zhang Ximeng announced the first batch of military disciplines.

The first of these is that all actions follow orders.

This is the root of the root.

Any strong army must be united in one mind, be like an arm and a finger, be obedient, obey orders, and overcome difficulties.

Not to mention the negative examples, the Yuan army was defeated all the way, and it was lost in military discipline.

Whether on land or in the Yangtze River navy, generals can't give orders to their subordinates, and the people below have their own ghosts, calculating each other, and selfishness.

How can such soldiers and horses be undefeated!

In addition to obeying orders, it is not allowed to disturb the people, loot the people, not live in the houses, and even touch the needles and threads of the people.

It must be known that the foundation of the Zhu family's army lies in the people's hearts. If the people's hearts are lost, nothing will exist.

Another point is that due to continuous fighting, a considerable number of Yuan troops were defeated. On the battlefield, there were quite a lot of armor, weapons, horses, and even gold and silver treasures.

No one is allowed to hide them privately, they must be handed over, and then distributed uniformly according to the size of the credit and the urgent need.

If anyone quarrels with each other because of the seizure, and a serious situation occurs, or even hurts or kills, the main culprit will be sentenced to capital punishment!

Zhang Ximeng clearly wrote that whoever dares to loot the spoils and refuses to accept the management will lose his head.

All in all, the core is to obey orders.

In addition, Zhang Ximeng formulated some codes of conduct, such as being polite, fair in buying and selling, paying back what you borrowed, paying for damages, not beating or cursing, not damaging crops, not molesting women, not abusing prisoners... especially the last one, Zhang Ximeng Strict regulations were formulated for the issue of prisoners.

First of all, for those who take the initiative to join, and can counterattack and assist in breaking the enemy, it is defined as an uprising. The uprising team must refer to the standards of the Zhu Family Army. Even if they do not meet the requirements, they must be properly arranged. Except for the most serious crimes, they cannot be executed.

Secondly, those who are under the pressure of the army, knowing that they are hopeless and willing to surrender, belong to surrender, and should be properly handled~www.mtlnovel.com~ Finally, those who are captured in battle should be defined as prisoners of war and need to be strictly enforced. Education cannot easily be incorporated into the army, and it takes a period of labor to be treated as ordinary people after confirming that they have rehabilitated.

In addition to these, Zhang Ximeng once again took out several previous military disciplines and warned everyone not to gamble, not to drink alcohol, not to bring women into the military camp without permission, and not to go out to visit brothels. Also, for weapons, they must be properly protected, not damaged, and not sold privately.

For the chariot frame, it must be properly maintained. In addition, food cannot be wasted, and it is not allowed to embezzle the soldiers' salaries and vegetable money. Every time a purchase is made, a detailed account must be kept, and it must be made public on a regular basis for everyone's scrutiny.

All kinds of codes of conduct, all add up, there are more than 100.

Faced with these things, including the Chaohu Marine Division, they are all dumbfounded... Zhu Jiajun is too strict, right?
