First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 162

Genius to remember the address of this site in one second: [New] https://The fastest update! No ads!

The set of military regulations drawn up by Zhang Ximeng looks very complicated, but it is actually very simple. As long as they are distinguished, it is easy to understand... For example, if there is a military appearance, it is required to have clean clothes and hats, take regular baths, pay attention to personal hygiene, and do not allow any size. Just wait.

There are also financial issues for the military. For example, military salaries must be distributed to each soldier, no deductions are allowed, and military supplies are not allowed to be shoddy or short-lived. Expenditures must be publicly disclosed on a regular basis and subject to review.

Then there is the soldier's personal behavior, not allowed to gamble, not allowed to drink alcohol, not allowed to go to the brothel and so on.

The rest, such as obeying military orders, capturing and returning to the public, keeping secrets, etc., are regulations for combat... So after some sorting out, we will find that these regulations are reasonable and reasonable, not too complicated.

But the problem is that in the eyes of some new generals, this is too unforgivable.

How to live, eat and drink, and everything is in charge.

Are you going to give them some power?

How can I ask which family's army does not manage its own soldiers?

Then how will we command our soldiers to fight in the future? If they are not afraid of us and do not obey military orders, what should they do?

There were messy voices everywhere, but it was clear that these people did not dare to directly target Zhang Ximeng. And since he just joined, there is no one around Lao Zhu who can talk, so he can only complain.

Of course, they still have another means, and that is to leave on their own initiative and find another way out.

Is it okay for me to invest yuan?

Some Yuan troops in Chizhou were ready to jump again and again.

But before they could do it, a batch of military rations was sent from the direction of Hezhou.

This is an astonishing thing. As we all know, Hezhou has just experienced a war. The 100,000 yuan soldiers made a riot, and crops in many places were damaged.

No matter how you look at it, it will only reduce production and suffer heavy losses.

Even so, Hezhou has food delivered?

Facts have proved that not only there, but also a lot!

The devastation of war is obvious, but another thing cannot be ignored.

That is, after the militias were widely established in various places, it was difficult for the Yuan army to enter the countryside arbitrarily, burning, killing and looting. Moreover, Lao Zhu left Hezhou City to the Yuan army.

In this way, according to comprehensive estimates, only about 15% of the summer grains in Hezhou were lost.

In addition, because a large number of prisoners were caught, Li Shanchang directly ordered the prisoners to participate in the summer harvest. In this way, the labor force was sufficient, and the food did not have to be rotten in the fields. For the people of Hezhou, it was definitely a bumper harvest.

Xia Shou, whom Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng were thinking about, finally had hope. The first batch of 50,000 shi of grain was delivered to Jiangnan, and there will be more to follow.

Facing the fragrant japonica rice, the soldiers below finally had nothing to say, especially the soldiers of the Chaohu Naval Division. Luzhou is not far from Hezhou, and they can see how the people of Hezhou are doing.

Many family members wrote letters to the soldiers, telling their children to follow closely and strive to grant the land as soon as possible, get the land one day earlier, cultivate the crops earlier, and when the autumn harvest, our family will be able to eat white rice.

One side is the earnest expectation of the family, and the other side is the complaint of the generals. Which side should I listen to?

Most of the soldiers still made wise choices. The superiors are really good to us. Don't be stupid. After so many years, who has really given us land?

At this moment, the Zhu Family Army in Jiangnan is in a very strange state... Some of the generals above are reluctant, feeling that there are too many constraints, too little power, and too poor treatment. ?

But ordinary soldiers feel that the superior is a good person and should follow the superior. It's just that they also lack leaders, and they can't say anything in their hearts.

In the final analysis, it is still a question. No matter how talented and brilliant there are, it still needs people to implement it. To get the propaganda in place, in order to get the support of the soldiers.

Zhang Ximeng has no better way. He can only transfer veterans from Jiangbei as much as possible, and then select a group of veterans who are more literate, good-natured, and reasonable, and enrich them among the recruits, reasoning for them, doing Work.

Zhang Ximeng also took the time to talk to ordinary soldiers, understand their situation, and guide them to express their injustices... All in all, the effect is not bad, but it is still inefficient.

It seems that the shortcoming is the kind that is flexible and vivid, and can move people's hearts the fastest... When Zhang Ximeng was thinking about it, Timur came first. Not only did he come, but he also brought two young people with him.

"Thank you for saving your life! Great kindness and great virtue, I will never forget it!"

Timur also knelt on the ground first, crying from the bottom of his heart.

The two young men were a little embarrassed, and then knelt down.

The elder brother is called Hara Zhang, and the younger one is called Sanbaonu.

The two of them are brothers, and their father is famous, the Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty who was dismissed not long ago!

That's right, Timur also begged to save his two nephews a while ago, and Zhu Jiajun did it.

When my uncle and nephew met each other, they cried so hard that I was so grateful.

Tuotuo was sent to Yunnan, and there was news that Tuotuo was assassinated and died.

The struggle of the Yuan Dynasty has always been like this, cutting grass and rooting without mercy.

As the two sons of Tuotuo, Harazhang and Sanbaonu will definitely not end well. It can be said that their lives are hanging by a thread. If Zhu Jiajun can save people, how can we not be grateful to Timur first!

But, in fact, he also thinks things too badly, because in history, the two Harazhang brothers were only given out. After all, there are too many people who sympathize with Tuotuo. .

And a few years later, when the Yuan Dynasty was really exhausted, he thought of Tuotuo again and rehabilitated him. Harazhang was also transferred back to Dadu and served as a political officer of Pingzhang. Later, he also gave up his previous suspicions and swore allegiance to Emperor Yuan Shun. It was not until Lanyu went to the Saibei that he defeated Ha Lazhang, and his descendants surrendered to Daming, but this guy still insisted on harassing the border and belonged to the die-hard stubborn faction.

But in this time and space, things have changed a bit.

Zhang Ximeng's transformation of the captives of the Yuan court had unexpected results, and Timur also begged Zhu Jiajun to take action to rescue the two nephews, which was indeed the case.

People were rescued. As the eldest son of Tuotuo, Harazhang grew up with the crown prince when he was a child. The two even slept in the same bed.

Now they have fallen to Zhu Jiajun's side, making these two young people uncomfortable. They know that their uncle will not harm them, but what uncle does is really incomprehensible.

"We are Mongolians and officials of the Great Yuan Dynasty, how can we get rid of the thieves?"

In the face of the stubbornness of the two nephews, Timur also fell to his knees with anger.

"Confused, really confused! Is your father loyal enough to the Yuan Dynasty? What happened? He was framed and ended up in a tragic end! To kill your father, is such a court worth your life?"

Harazhang was short of breath when asked, and he was also dissatisfied with his father's fate, but in the end, they were also Mongolian nobles. When they came to the Red Turban Army, the fate would be worse, right?

"Your Majesty was deceived for a while, and sooner or later, His Majesty will think clearly, rehabilitate father, and let us go back to the past..."

"Pooh!"

Timur also spat Harazhang fiercely first.

"Bastard, stupid! Who can kill your father without the will of the Emperor Dog? People have already exposed it, so what are they doing to deceive themselves? Even if you rehabilitate your father in the future, it is also to clean up people's hearts, to survive... But I tell you You two, since you dismissed your father, the Yuan Dynasty is over, completely hopeless. From top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, it's all rotten and hopeless! Sooner or later, it will be overthrown. Zhu Jiajun has enough courage Big, big-minded, and not bad for us Mongolians. You don't have to worry about it, just be an ordinary person, isn't that bad?”

These two brothers, look at me, I look at you, let us be ordinary people, we won't!

Brocade clothing and jade food, those who come out of the rich and noble piles, how can they be willing to endure hardship!

Also, Timur also had no choice but to face this situation.

"Mr. Zhang, I plan to lead them to work, to farm and eat by themselves, so that they can learn to support themselves and become ordinary people.

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "There is no other meaning to bring them here. If Yuan Ting did bad things, we have to put things right, and we have to forcefully correct them. However, the two of them are young, nostalgic for the past, and there is no such unforgettable pain. It's not easy to come to repentance. You have to be patient and let them correct their problems little by little. If there is any difficulty, tell me directly, and I will definitely help to solve it. "

First Timur nodded again and again, thank you very much.

But at this moment, someone suddenly ran in, and it was Guo Ying!

"Oh no!"

Guo Ying immediately said to Zhang Ximeng: "Sir, according to the news sent, Wu Datou was arrested in Handan!"

"what?"

Zhang Ximeng was taken aback, "What's the matter? He didn't rescue people, why did something happen?"

Harazhang and Sanbaonu also widened their eyes. They just saw their uncle's letter and were taken to a troupe, and then they were taken out of Dadu.

Only later did they find out that the troupe was actually a member of the Zhu family. The leader was surnamed Wu, who was called the leader of the class. Why, he was arrested in order to save himself?

Guo Yingdao: "Wu Datou was worried that there were too many people and big goals, so he sent someone to send them both south through Shandong and then to Hebei by himself. In the end, they fell into the hands of Yuan Ting in Handan!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ximeng frowned deeply, feeling quite lost.

In fact, Zhang Ximeng has gradually realized the value of Wu Datou. He, and the propaganda force he represents, is Zhu Jiajun's trump card.

If he went back to the beginning, he might not agree with Wu Datou going north.

It is really abominable that such an important person now falls into the hands of Yuan Jun!

"Can you find a way to save people?"

Guo Ying was stunned, "Sir, I'm afraid it's hard to handle. We don't have that much power after all."

"Then, can that be returned? We have a lot of prisoners here... Tu Jian, Naha Chu, and so many soldiers and horses, as long as Yuan Ting agrees, we will send them over, and we must ensure the safety of Wu Datou. This man must be brought back to me!"

Guo Ying grinned, he also knew that it was not easy, but Zhang Ximeng said that he had to do it, and Wu Datou was indeed not an ordinary singer. He was a member of the army and the big guy's brother Paoze.

Just after the news spread, more and more soldiers were alarmed, especially those who had seen Wu Datou's performance, they all came over, no matter what, the big head class leader must not be allowed to have an accident!

The dark crowd, hundreds of soldiers, all came to speak for Wu Datou.

In the face of this situation, Timur was also stunned, how could Wu Datou have such prestige? I really don't know when the elder brother was dismissed. Are there so many ordinary soldiers willing to stand up?

"Don't worry, no matter what, I will try my best to not give up or give up. As long as the conditions are acceptable, I will try my best to rescue Wu Datou!"

Zhang Ximeng expressed his stance to everyone here. At this time, a resounding voice came, "Prepare 100 prisoners, if 100 is not enough, only 1,000! Even if there are 10,000, we must replace Wu Datou!"

The person who spoke was Zhu Yuanzhang. With Lao Zhu's statement, everyone let out a sigh of relief. If nothing else happened, Wu Datou should be able to come back smoothly!

Just when he was very anxious for Wu Datou, at this moment Wu Datou was in the cell in Handan, changing cups and drinking with the prison head.

"You know why I'm not afraid? Because my heart is clean, life and death are important, but people can't be useless in their lives. Believe it or not, if I die, there will be hundreds of people who will stand up for my funeral. "

The prison head sighed and suddenly said: "Master Wu, not to mention others, I am also a Han Chinese. I have been in prison for a long time, and I have seen too much. When the Mongols kill Han Chinese, it is almost like killing an animal. You are fighting against the imperial court. Yes, if I hadn't wanted to lose my head on eating, I would have saved you!"

Wu Datou smiled and waved his hand, "Don't think like that... I am also a Mongolian, and I admit that there are many Mongolians who do evil, but those high-ranking Han Chinese officials, Li Siqi, Chen Yexian, who killed the rebels on behalf of the Yuan court. Han people, are they good people? After all, we are all poor people, Zhu Yuanzhang's **** is sitting on the poor people's side, and I, Wu Datou, serve him, and I'm willing to do things for him, even if I lose my head, it's worth it!”

Wu Datou paused again~www.mtlnovel.com~ patted the cell chief's shoulder and said, "My case is too big, Yuan Ting will not let me go, don't think about it. But from now on, in case of Whatever grievances come, you can do your best, even if you let them eat a little more, drink some clean water, and suffer a little less, this is accumulation of virtue and good deeds. There is nothing else. Maybe live!"

The prison head nodded vigorously, "Master Wu, I remember it, and I will not forget it even if I die."

After drinking two more drinks, the prison head sighed and asked, "Master Wu, can you tell me no more, why is Zhu Yuanzhang worth your life?"

Wu Datou smiled, "Okay! I'll tell you... The greatest virtue of our superiors is to equalize fields. Every household, regardless of gender, age, or child, is given rations and fields to keep people alive and tax fair. Do you know that? There is no need for officials to go down and collect, the people themselves choose the grain chief, and they send the tax grains up..."

This is not the first time the prison head has heard it, but he is still stunned. There really is such a place? Gradually, several prison guards came over, and the prisoners who borrowed from the cell also pricked up their ears, listened carefully, and yearned for it.
