"Mr. Zhang, Ni Wenjun is a narrow-minded and impatient person. I'm afraid he won't come to save Hongdu... We just surrounded him calmly and forced the defender to surrender. After fighting for so many days, we can see that the opponent is a talent. Since he is a talent
, we can't bury it." Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "Mr. trouble, please go to Tongling and build another army for us."
Zhang Ximeng thought for a while and said: "Master, do you plan to use these prisoners?"
"Well, we do think so, what do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.
"That's naturally good." Zhang Ximeng said: "It's just that these troops and horses must be commanded by good generals, and some special arrangements must be added."
Lao Zhu asked curiously: "What are your plans, sir?"
Zhang Ximeng expressed his idea with a smile on his face. After Lao Zhu heard this, he was overjoyed and agreed immediately... Just like that, Zhang Ximeng took Zhu Wenzheng away from Hongdu, rode a fast horse, and went straight to Tongling...
On the way, Zhu Wenzheng complained to Zhang Ximeng. He held one of Zhu Yuanzhang's swords and grinned: "Mr. Zhang, can those people still be disobedient after you go? Why take my uncle's sword? It's so heavy."
!”
Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but laugh, "Is this an ordinary sword? Later I plan to encourage the lord to become king. If in a few years, the lord ascends the throne and becomes emperor, this will be the sword of Shangfang. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand! Hasn't he not proclaimed himself emperor now? Besides, even if he proclaims himself emperor, he is still my uncle. Is it possible that he can change?"
Zhang Ximeng laughed again, "You, you have read too little, go back and read the history books of Hou Zhao and Western Wei, and then tell me these things!"
Zhu Wenzheng had no impression of these two dynasties and just agreed casually, but he could tell that Zhang Ximeng was sure that his uncle could become the emperor!
"Sir, what do you think the next step should be? Is it to defeat Tianwan, or to destroy Zhang Shicheng?"
Zhang Ximeng pondered for a while and murmured: "Maybe we should find an outlet to the sea."
Zhu Wenzheng was stunned again. He obviously couldn't keep up with Zhang Ximeng's thinking, so he could only keep his mouth shut.
They hurried to Tongling. At this moment, in addition to Guo Xing, Tao An also came from Yingtian to pay tribute to Zhang Ximeng.
"Prime Minister Zhang, I have been ordered by Prime Minister Li to come here to appease the people. If you need anything, just give me your instructions."
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Tao Lao."
After meeting Tao An, Zhang Ximeng said to Guo Xing again: "I saw in the battle report that you opened an armory privately, took armors and weapons, and distributed them to soldiers for use. Is this possible?"
"have!"
"Is there any way to stop the 100 households in charge of the warehouse?"
"have!"
"Then you forced others to open the warehouse?"
"yes!"
Zhang Ximeng said again: "So, you have violated military regulations. What do you think?"
"I...I did break the rules, but I don't regret it!"
"Why don't you regret it?"
"I, I'm sure, I did the right thing." Guo Xingang raised his head and said to Zhang Ximeng: "Sir, I know what you are worried about. I feel that those prisoners may not be loyal, and giving them weapons will cause endless trouble... But I and I
When they got along, I concluded the most crucial truth."
"What's the point?"
"Exchange sincerity for sincerity." Guo Xing replied loudly.
Zhang Ximeng thought for a moment and then said: "Speak more carefully."
"Exchanging sincerity for sincerity means that you must first be sincere, not resort to tricks, not maliciously speculate on suspicion, put yourself in their shoes, and think about them... But you can't be too stupid as a human being. If you give your sincerity but are taken advantage of by others, that's okay.
No. You must make sure to use your sincerity for sincerity. To put it bluntly, you must have the ability to recognize people, understand the other person's mind, notice the changes in the other person's thoughts, and grasp the direction of people's hearts. Only if they truly realize their mistakes and are willing to repent,
Only then can we push the boat forward and encourage them to complete the transformation. Only those who will not change in their bones must show sufficient means."
Guo Xing talked eloquently. These words were what he thought when he was managing prisoners. In this battle, he put these ideas into practice, and the effect was pretty good.
Taking Zhang Wengui as an example, Guo Xing noticed that he actually listened carefully to some of the lectures and understood some things. But he was unwilling to bow his head because he was stuck for a breath.
But this time he gave the opportunity to Zhang Wengui, and Zhang Wengui responded with his life and achieved a beautiful record.
In fact, from a certain perspective, the situation of the prisoners is even more difficult. They urgently need to prove themselves and change their destiny. Sometimes, they even behave more bravely and fearlessly than ordinary Zhu Jiajun.
"Listening to what you said, you are sure that these people can be used by me... This battle was fought well, which proves that you are indeed right. But don't forget that the most important thing in the army is military regulations, and you still violated them.
It’s military regulations, you can’t deny that, right?”
Guo Xing's figure was proportional, his head lowered, "I understand this humble position."
"Well, it's good to understand. You, the Qianhu of the Archguard Bureau, can't be retained." Zhang Ximeng said: "Let the Baihu of the Archguard Bureau replace you and serve as the Qianhu Bureau of the Archguard Bureau."
Guo Xing was startled, and his face turned pale with fright.
Guo Xing, who was dismissed as an official, also thought about it, but it would be nonsense to ask Baihu, the man in charge of the treasury, to replace him.
"Mr. Zhang, I don't accept it!" Guo Xing raised his head and said angrily.
"Why don't you accept it? Don't you want to be dismissed from office?"
"No, it's not! It's the one who is in charge of the warehouse. He, he is biased against the prisoners. I said that when doing this, you must exchange sincerity for sincerity. His heart is crooked. Let him take over my management of the prisoner of war camp.
It will definitely backfire and ruin a good situation. At that time, not only will the captives not sincerely surrender, but they will cause trouble."
Zhang Ximeng listened patiently and suddenly laughed, "Are you worried about prisoner of war camps?"
"Well! These people have fought bloody battles, so they can't be ruthless!" Guo Xing argued loudly.
Zhang Ximeng smiled and nodded, "It's not bad. To tell you the truth, my lord wants to select the loyal and brave men from the prisoner-of-war camp to form a separate army. From now on, the management model of the prisoner-of-war camp will need to be adjusted, and the Guards Department will not be responsible for it."
.That Archguard Si Qianhu, let him go back to Jinling and be responsible for supervising the warehouses in various places."
Only then did Guo Xing understand what was going on and immediately nodded, "Well, then I'll be relieved."
"Are you relieved? Then do you want to know who will hand over the newly formed army?"
Seeing the smile on Zhang Ximeng's face, Guo Xing seemed to feel something. There was a mission calling him... "Well... Mr. Zhang, no, you won't let me lead the troops, right?"
"What are you thinking!"
Zhang Ximeng's words extinguished Guo Xing's ambitions. Go ahead and let a person who just violated military regulations be appointed as a high-ranking official at the command level. Even if it makes sense, where do you put the military regulations of Zhu Jiajun?
"This new commander is the lord's nephew, Zhu Wenzheng. As for the artillery battalion commander he left behind, Li Wenzhong is temporarily acting... Don't think that Zhu Wen relied on his relationship with the lord and his ability to lead troops in battle.
He is probably much stronger than you! Do you know?"
Guo Xing grinned, "I know, I know!"
He is really crying now. It seems that he has nothing left. He has really been dismissed from office. From now on, he will be an ordinary white man!
"Do you feel aggrieved?" Zhang Ximeng said with a smile.
Guo Xing smiled helplessly, "There is nothing wrong with me. Anyway, I have a clear conscience. If I have to choose again, I will do the same! I, I can't regret because I did the right thing!"
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Ximeng laughed again, "Very good! It turns out that I was still hesitant, but if you can say this, I feel relieved." Zhang Ximeng came over on his own initiative, patted Guo Xing on the shoulder, and then whispered to him: "I
I have discussed with my lord and removed you from the official position of Qianhu in order to give you another more suitable position."
"Wha, what location?"
"Military trainer!"
"Trainer?"
"Yes, he is in charge of military discipline, military morale, soldiers' thoughts, and is responsible for solving some matters outside of war for the general...such as military competitions, food, pay and weapons, soldiers' lives, and comforting wounded soldiers. In short, it is the responsibility of a team.
Butler, do you understand?"
Guo Xing was stunned for a long time before he slowly understood, "First of all, sir, isn't this what you did in the army before?"
Zhang Ximeng was also startled. It seemed to be true... When the Zhu Jiajun was first established, he formulated many rules in the army and taught the soldiers how to read. This is why people like Guo Xing respectfully called him Sir.
However, with the development of the Zhu Jiajun, Zhang Ximeng, the right minister, had more and more affairs, and he was basically separated from the management of the army. People like Xu Da also managed his soldiers according to careful habits.
In other words, apart from the fact that the military regulations are still the same, there are gradually differences in other square meters.
"Speaking of it, it's still different. Our Zhu family army is different from Tianwan's soldiers and Yuan Ting's soldiers... We have our own opinions. It is our persistence to equally divide the land and help the people. We are invincible.
Soldiers are the weapons we use to realize our ideals... Trainers should tell the soldiers their ideals in the military, and at the same time they should set an example and set an example, telling the soldiers what is right and what is wrong."
Zhang Ximeng said seriously: "This is a very poor position. Once you take it, you may miss out on glory and wealth."
Guo Xing took a long breath and said in deep thought: "I understand, just like Mr. Zhang, he is honest and self-sufficient, with a breeze on his sleeves! I, I dare not say that I can keep up with him, but I will do my best, sir, please rest assured!"
Zhang Ximeng rolled his eyelids and was speechless... When did I have a clear mind? It seems that apart from accepting some golden beans from Zhu Yuanzhang, he has not received any benefits!
Why do I feel a little shortchanged?
Why don't you send me some money? Maybe I can help you with things!
How did Zhang Ximeng know? There have been rumors for a long time. He would rather give gifts to Zhu Yuanzhang than to give gifts to Xianggong Zhang. Our Xianggong Zhang is an incorruptible and good official!
Forced to be an upright official!
Zhang Ximeng was also helpless... After talking to Guo Xing, Zhang Ximeng came out with him, only to find that there were already people standing outside. The big guys stretched their necks. When they found that Guo Xing had a smile on his face, they all felt relieved.
In the belly.
Ye Xian couldn't help but murmured: "Let me just say that Zhu Jiajun is different from the Yuan Dynasty. He is the most reasonable and will not falsely accuse meritorious officials."
