Chang Yuchun drank from bowl to bowl, and the barbarian Ha Ha was not willing to show weakness, but in the end he was no match for a strong man like Chang Yuchun who came from the sky, and gradually he could no longer hold on, and he lost his ability to talk.
"Chang, Brother Chang, to be honest, my military power was not taken away, thanks to you!"
Chang Yuchun rolled his eyelids and asked curiously: "How to say?"
"You, sit down and listen to me slowly." Manzi Hague pulled Chang Yuchun, and the two of them were side by side. For those who didn't know, they thought they were good buddies they hadn't seen for many years!
"Didn't you capture so many people? You didn't kill them. They were all settled well. Zhang Shicheng here also planned to follow suit. He said that Zhu Yuanzhang imprisoned people, but he didn't imprison them and gave them official positions. I, I am
His soothing card."
Chang Yuchun listened silently. Although Barbarian Hague was drunk, his words were not confused at all.
Speaking of Zhang Shicheng's subordinates, it is also very interesting. Except for a few old salt workers who followed him in the army, they were Tuotuo's old subordinates, and there were many Mongolians among them.
If he dared to play the card of expelling the Huru like Lao Zhu, a mutiny would probably occur immediately.
From this perspective, Zhang Shicheng's acceptance of Zhao'an was understandable.
In history, Zhang Shicheng sent Barbarian Hague to Dadu, and there was no news about him afterwards. But now Barbarian Hague is still in the Navy, it is indeed a change brought about by Zhu Jiajun's policy.
It's just that Zhang Shicheng doesn't completely believe in Barbarian Hague... The navy is currently divided into three levels. The one on the table is Barbarian Hague, but those in the middle are actually Zhang Shicheng's cronies, and those below are the original sailors of the Yuan Army.
Soldier.
There is a delicate balance between the three.
Barbarian Hague still has some status among ordinary soldiers, especially some Mongolians and Semu people, and Zhang Shicheng cannot completely ignore him.
However, as Zhang Shicheng deployed more and more people, this navy gradually escaped from the control of Barbarian Hague.
Under the influence of alcohol, Barbarian Hague revealed this matter to Chang Yuchun with half-truths and half-falsehoods.
Brother...it's not that I don't want to join Wu Guogong, nor is it that I'm stubborn and insist on killing you to death...I'm stuck now.
Thinking about this from the perspective of Barbarian Hague, if he continues to stay with Zhang Shicheng, sooner or later he will be emptied of power and kicked out of the navy directly. What will happen to him is hard to say, and it will probably be very, very miserable.
Fleeing back to Dadu, not to mention that the Yuan Dynasty was in turmoil, the barbarian Ha Ya himself was a Tuotuo person. After returning, wouldn't it be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth!
On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang's side, although the salary for demoted generals is not very high, at least there is a bottom line to support him, and the situation of Timur and others is there first.
Even the Mongolian soldiers in the army can find a safer place to go.
Submission to Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely be beneficial to Barbarian Hague, and it was also his hope in his heart. Chang Yuchun really had some brains, and he actually felt his pulse and came directly.
But the problem is not that simple. After Zhang Shicheng continued to mix sand, the barbarian Hague could no longer command his subordinates.
"So...you can't just make everyone submit with just one order?"
Barbarian Ha Ya rolled his eyelids and snorted coldly: "Brother Chang, you are also a leader. Do you have the ability to make your men submit to Captain Zhang?"
Chang Yuchun was even more speechless, "Why should I surrender to that good-for-nothing Zhang Shicheng when I have nothing to do? Besides, even if I am really out of my mind, the soldiers under me can chop up a man named Chang!"
Barbarian Hague was stunned again... From this point of view, my side is pretty good, at least a little disloyal. Wouldn't the brothers around me attack me?
"Then according to your statement...all the people who need to be installed by Zhang Shicheng must be dealt with before he can be successfully transferred here?"
Barbarian Hague continued to shake his head, "Brother Chang, you are not a fool. Open your eyes and take a look. There are hundreds of ships, more than ten thousand people, each person is in charge of a ship, and the ships are just on the river.
Less than 20% of the ship owners can listen to my orders. You said that if I order them to come, can all those people come? What should I do to catch them all and control all the ships smoothly? After all, this
There are not only one or two people on the ship who listen to Zhang Shicheng, but even the sailors have many Zhang Shicheng people..."
Chang Yuchun was dumbfounded, grandma, I love you because I am in you, and you are in me!
This is really troublesome.
"Then, aren't you afraid that someone will secretly report to Zhang Shicheng about my coming here?"
Manzi Hague smiled again, "Brother Chang, your brain is really bad... I, how can I explain it to you?" Manzi Hague touched his arms, took out two ingots, and placed them on Chang Yuchun.
in front of.
"Look, for the same silver, which ingot is named Zhu and which is named Zhang?"
Chang Yuchun stared at it for a long time, and suddenly realized it. He couldn't help laughing and said: "I understand, even these Zhang Shicheng's cronies are not monolithic. They all have their own thoughts. After all, our Wu Kingdom is powerful now. Even if we don't want to surrender, we can give it to ourselves."
Leave a way out so that you won't lose your head in the future...Okay, you all live so well! You're more ghostly than a hairless monkey!"
Barbarian Ha Ya had no choice but to grin bitterly, "I can't help it, I, I can't help it either... To be honest, I'm not convinced by anything else, but I just believe that Duke Wu means what he says, and he keeps his word! If you say we'll divide the fields, we'll divide them; if we say we won't kill them, we won't.
Kill! You can live with peace of mind, but now I am on tenterhooks, as if walking on thin ice, as if facing an abyss, as if something is stuck in my throat!"
"Okay, stop talking... I still don't understand! That's how it was when I was a bandit! The brothers below have different ideas, and the leaders above are intrigues and deceit, and you fight for me. Let me be the big brother, but I don't think so.
The ability to make money. No, I just followed the superiors, and that’s why I’m here today. Can you tell me, do I have a good vision?”
"good!"
Barbarian Hague gives two thumbs up!
"If I had Brother Chang's vision, I would have taken refuge with Wu Guogong. Now I have nothing to worry about."
Having said this, I have actually made things clear.
Barbarian Hague is determined to surrender, and many of his subordinates also want to surrender...but it is not clear who exactly thinks what.
So Barbarian Hague didn't dare to give the order. Who knows if Zhang Shicheng's people will also have a classic defeat?
God damn the barbarian Hague!
If you understand this, you will also know how difficult it is to make an army of troops surrender or rebel!
The general's ideological work must be cleared up, and the people below must also win over it. Only when there is absolute certainty can the few stumbling blocks be removed... Therefore, it will take less than a year and a half, or even longer, to achieve success.
To get started, you need the right time, place, and people, so you can imagine how difficult it is.
At this point in the conversation, Chang Yuchun was helpless.
He had finally figured out what Barbarian Hague was thinking, but with this little gain, he couldn't do anything! I always came here to accomplish great things, so if I just went back like this, wouldn't it be a waste of risk?
Is there any way to make everyone willing to surrender and take over?
Even if not everyone, there must be more than 90%... In short, it is true that they can get these ships first.
Chang Yuchun stayed in the cabin for a while and didn't want to leave. This thing was stable and comfortable, much better than a small boat.
What should we do?
Chang Yuchun suddenly saw the two ingots that Barbarian Hague had just taken out. He frowned and thought for a while, and he actually remembered an internal strife he encountered when he was a bandit.
At that time, they robbed a bodyguard and got three thousand taels of silver... The leader wanted to take away two thousand, and the rest was divided among the others, but everyone thought it was too little, so they quarreled with each other, and finally
I don’t know who said: If you think it’s too little, go find the village leader?
As a result, this group of people actually broke into the village owner's residence, chopped off his head, and robbed all the money.
Chang Yuchun's eyes rolled around, and a strange idea popped up.
"I asked Zhang Shicheng how much money did he give you this time to let you send troops?"
Barbarian Hague smiled, "I heard that Mr. Wu Guogong was very wealthy. Why, he planned to pay us to bribe us? Okay, tell me a number and let me hear it!"
Chang Yuchun sneered with disdain, "You still have the same old mentality, no different from a bandit! How much money can be given to you, we can take away as much money as we want. Our superiors don't do this, just to feel at ease when we are big guys.
Think about it for yourself, is this true?"
Barbarian Hague let out a long sigh and sighed helplessly, "I finally understand, Wu Guogong is really extraordinary!"
"That's right!" Chang Yuchun said with a smile: "Brother, let me tell you, come here quickly! You are not young, so I am not afraid that something will happen one day and you will be thrown into the Yangtze River to feed the fishes? No bones will be left!"
"
Barbarian Hague has a sullen face. Of course he is afraid, but the problem is that he can't make the decision!
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chang Yuchun said, "Brother, let me give you an idea... Didn't Zhang Shicheng reward me with a silver reward this time? Are you all picking on the skin and deducting it layer by layer, right?"
Barbarian Hague nodded subconsciously, but then said: "You, can't you be more polite? This is a rule, a rule!"
Chang Yuchun did not pay attention to his excuses, but continued: "Listen to me, just give out all the money you have, and then spread the news and tell the sailors below how much money was given. And Zhang Shicheng's cronies
If the money is withheld, there will definitely not be that much sent to the lower level. Then you ask the sailors to come over and see where you put the money, and then go and copy a few places where Zhang Shicheng's cronies are... As long as they see the money, they will be angry, and they will
He knows how to kill people... When they see blood, they will all listen to you. When the time comes, if you say that King Cheng is angry, he will definitely be held accountable. In order to survive, he took refuge in our superiority. Isn't this logical?"
"ah!"
After hearing these words, Barbarian Hague was sober from drinking. He looked at Chang Yuchun stupidly and said, "My dear, your move is really ginger pickled with arsenic, it's poisonous and spicy!"
"Brother Chang, who told you this?"
Chang Yuchun sneered, "If you stayed in a bandit's den for a few years, you would be able to do anything! Don't worry, this trick is guaranteed to work. I'll go take a nap while you quickly arrange the arrangements."
As he spoke, Chang Yuchun actually lay down with his clothes on in the corner of the cabin. After a while, he even started to snore...
