Ding Pulang was furious. These beasts had really embarrassed themselves. They actually hid women in the army and the Zhu Jiajun found out. They even dared to beat the generals of the Zhu Jiajun.
You are going to rebel against God!
Fortunately, Zhang Yuchun was still restrained and did not fight back. He was only injured here. Otherwise, if someone died, it would be calculated as a mutiny.
Maybe if they put all their effort into taking refuge this time, everything will be lost and everything will be ruined.
You are trying to kill me!
Ding Pulang was furious. One of his characteristics was that when he was extremely angry, his eyes would become bloodshot, as if possessed by an evil spirit. Once this happened, it meant that someone had to kill someone, and it was impossible without blood!
"stop!"
Seeing Ding Pulang rushing over with a knife, Zhang Ximeng shouted loudly. Ding Pulang was stunned for a moment and said: "Xiang Zhang, you don't have to worry about it. Let me kill this beast first, and then I can apologize to Xianggong Zhang later!"
Ding Pulang pushed forward step by step and wanted to kill someone.
At this moment, Zhang Ximeng's face suddenly darkened.
He was angry and very dissatisfied.
When a problem occurs, no matter how serious it is, it can be solved in an upright manner according to the rules.
However, if they dare to engage in lynching and killing in a blatant manner, this is the bottom line of challenging Zhang Ximeng. If they are veteran generals, they will be removed from the first-class corps at the least. If they are more serious, they will be disarmed and returned to their fields, and even dealt with according to military law.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn't be able to protect himself from something like this, and he wouldn't dare to protect him.
If you don't care about military law in peacetime, how can you obey orders in wartime?
If there are people like this in the army, big trouble will happen.
In fact, it can be seen from this that Tian Wan and Peng Dang are still a group of bandits and bandits in essence, and they are far from serious royal masters!
"Stop him!"
Zhang Ximeng spoke again, and Zheng Yuchun, who had an injury on his head, was the first to rush forward. Fu Youde hesitated a little and also rushed forward.
The two men, one on the left and the other on the right, hugged Ding Pulang.
Fu Youde said: "Ding Pulang, how dare you act wildly in front of Prime Minister Zhang?"
Zheng Yuchun also followed: "General Ding, you must find out the truth. Otherwise, you will be severely punished for executing soldiers privately."
The two people kept persuading, and at this time Zhang Ximeng's guards also came over and separated Ding Pulang from those people. Ding Pulang gasped for breath, but there was nothing he could do.
This guy was also very angry. He actually rolled his eyes and wanted to twitch.
Seeing that something was not going well, Fu Youde hurriedly snatched away his knife, then called people over to suppress Ding Pulang together, and also asked people to call in a military doctor... After struggling for almost half an hour, he finally got the situation under control.
The blood-red color in Ding Pulang's eyes finally faded away, and he was covered in cold sweat, as if he was ill.
"Xiang Zhang, I, my subordinates were not strict and I offended Xiang Zhang. I am willing to accept the punishment!"
After saying that, he struggled to kneel down on one knee and leaned over to apologize.
Zhang Ximeng's face was grim, and he said slowly after a long while: "Ding Pulang, there is someone in your army hiding women secretly, and doing whatever they want, do you know?"
"I, I told them a long time ago to put all the women back and not take them with them..."
"Then it happened before! You know it too!" Zhang Ximeng asked flatly. Ding Pulang was stunned and could only say helplessly: "Yes, I know."
"Why is this happening?" Zhang Ximeng asked again.
Ding Pulang became more and more embarrassed. He muttered for a long time and didn't even know what to say. He just apologized.
Zhang Ximeng became more and more angry. At this time, Fu Youde hurriedly bowed and said: "Prime Minister Zhang, although I have not been in Tianwan for a long time, I still know the general situation. The army is constantly fighting and the days are miserable. The soldiers cannot bear the loneliness and rob women.
Also, it is a common thing, Ding Pulang’s restrictions are already very strict, but, just..."
"It's just that it's still unavoidable." Zhang Ximeng took over the words, "Ding Pulang, is Fu Youde right?"
"Yes!" Ding Pulang gritted his teeth, "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang, give me three days, and I will investigate immediately. If anyone dares to disobey the military order, I will hold their head and plead guilty to Mr. Zhang!"
"No need!" Zhang Ximeng interrupted Ding Pulang again. He had dealt with many prisoners and had dealt with everyone, but this was the first time that he was as difficult to deal with as Ding Pulang.
"Ding Pulang, I want to ask you, among your 8,000 people, do they all have the surname Ding? Are they all your slaves? Are they all going to be obedient to you? Is that right?"
Ding Pulang was stunned, and a strong sense of oppression made his body tremble slightly.
"I, I led them to fight against Yuan Tartar. Without me, they would have been killed by Yuan Tartar!"
Zhang Ximeng smiled slightly, and he saw clearly that in the final analysis, it was still the same thing as a returning general. Zhang Ximeng pondered for a long time, then took the initiative to lean over and pull Ding Pulang up.
"Sit, sit down!"
Ding Pulang's face turned red. He couldn't bear it anymore and could only sit down obediently.
Zhang Ximeng thought for a while and then said: "I remember when Patriarch Peng preached about the lower realm of Maitreya Buddha, changing the universe, and bringing about a bright and unified world... Speaking of which, although Patriarch Peng and I have different starting points, we both advocate rebuilding the universe. Although we have never met.
, I haven’t talked about it, but I believe that from both of our perspectives, this world is broken and needs to be completely rebuilt... General Ding, what do you think?"
Ding Pulang was stunned for a long time. Zhang Ximeng mentioned Patriarch Peng, which made him feel dazed for a while, "Zhang, Prime Minister Zhang... Patriarch Peng also said the same thing at the beginning. He said that the Yuan Dynasty was stupid and ignorant, the people had no life, the powerful annexed the land, and the lustful people bullied
The common people have no way to survive, and everyone is looking forward to Maitreya Buddha to save them!"
Zhang Ximeng nodded again, "General Ding, I want to ask you, since we want to reshape the universe, what will the bright world look like?"
Ding Pulang thought hard, and then said: "Of course, I want to have enough food and clothing, have a farm, and have no natural or man-made disasters. Everyone will live a safe and happy life... I, I just heard that Zhu Jiajun had such a situation, so I came here.
That beast bullies women and is no different from an animal. I want to kill him, why does Prime Minister Zhang stop me?"
Zhang Ximeng saw Ding Pulang more and more clearly, and became less angry. Instead, he said with a smile: "General Ding, you have said a lot, so let me ask you, in a new world, the relationship between people should be
How about it? Can we kill people at will? Can we just take human lives without any investigation?"
"Xiang Zhang, I, he, he has committed many crimes, which are obvious to all..."
Zhang Ximeng stopped him again, "General Ding, maybe you haven't understood it yet, so let me explain it to you... Our core proposition is called equal sharing of acres. Why should we share it equally? Because we think everyone is the same, at least
Everyone has the right to live a good life and have enough food and clothing. So we need to give everyone a piece of land where they can cultivate and produce food to meet the needs of themselves and their whole family."
"We also advocate that men and women should be treated equally. Some people have always thought that this is whimsical and unrealistic, and they have found many reasons to oppose it. But when this happens today, doesn't it prove the importance of treating men and women equally?"
Zhang Ximeng stood up, not only facing Ding Pulang, but also staring at the fighting soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "I actually do not advocate that my initiative should be understood as the same for men and women. This is not simply between men and women.
Question. Every woman has a father and brothers, a husband and children, and every man also has a mother, sisters, wife and daughters.”
"I advocate allocating land to women, allowing women to study, and encouraging women to enter officialdom...In fact, it is to allocate land to your mothers, wives, and daughters so that they can study, straighten their chests, and be upright people. It is protection.
Every family is a relative that protects everyone. If the people closest to us cannot be safe, prosperous, and live happily, then what is the point of remaking the world?"
"So in my opinion, robbing women, keeping them in camps, and enjoying them wantonly is the most serious crime and must be severely punished! Those who commit such beastly acts will not regret death!"
Zhang Ximeng's words reached the ears of every rebel, and several of them lowered their heads in shame.
For this reason, they couldn't control it for a moment and actually made a big mistake.
When Zhang Ximeng said this, he took a deep breath, then turned his head and said to Ding Pulang: "General Ding, someone has committed a crime, and it is natural to deal with it. But human life is at stake. You think that as a general, you can kill your soldiers arbitrarily.
? Without any investigation, without being tested by everyone, I will be killed if you say you will."
"Let me ask you, do you want the soldiers to fear you as a person, or do you want the soldiers to fear the country's laws and military regulations, and the laws of nature and people's hearts?"
Ding Pulang was suddenly startled. He was filled with indignation just now, but now he slowly lowered his head.
Zhang Ximeng continued to ask: "What's more, you killed your subordinates wantonly, treating them as slaves, beating and scolding them as you pleased, and treating them like nothing... General Ding, what is the difference between you and those Mongolian nobles and mediocre officials of the Yuan Dynasty?"
I would like to ask, is this the bright great unity that Patriarch Peng said?"
"ah!"
Ding Pulang's eyes were blank, and his heart felt as if he had been stabbed hard by a knife, and blood flowed out instantly.
Is that really the case?
It turns out that I have become the same as Yuan Ting’s dog officer?
Me, what have I done these years?
Ding Pulang's pupils were bloodshot and there were signs of going crazy again. Fu Youde said quickly: "Prime Minister Zhang, General Ding also told me that he believed in what Patriarch Peng said and saw Chen Youliang constantly devouring his master and killing his brothers.
Knowing that he couldn't succeed, and hearing that Zhu Jiajun was different, he was willing to take refuge... Prime Minister Zhang and General Ding have good intentions."
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Of course, I know that not only General Ding, but also most of the soldiers have such thoughts. But there are some things that we must make clear. General Ding, you wantonly bully your subordinates.
The generals will look down on the thousands and hundreds of households below, and bully the ordinary soldiers, and the ordinary soldiers will rob the people, squeeze them layer by layer, and make the people bear the burden of all suffering."
"You once asked me why the generals here don't get that much salary... The reason is very simple. If some people get more, there will naturally be others who will get less. If there are people who live in the countryside, there will be people who have no place to stand.
The bones of Zhumen are frozen to death in the stinky streets of wine and meat. Soldiers cannot get enough salary to start a family and start a business, so they can't help but rob women and put them in the military camp for the entertainment of ordinary soldiers... Faced with this situation, General Ding, you
Is there any use in killing the leaders? But is it the fundamental solution?"
Zhang Ximeng questioned Ding Pulang. Looking at Ding Pulang at this moment, he was already sweating profusely and could not get up.
"Xiang Zhang, it was me who was confused, I deserve to die!" Ding Pulang kowtowed repeatedly, sweating like rain.
Zhang Ximeng took a deep breath, "Speaking of which, I think you should be clear about the treatment of soldiers I have shown you. We are not trying to treat soldiers preferentially... In the final analysis, they are just soldiers fighting on the battlefield and need these things.
Only then can you stand tall and live a decent life."
"Zheng Yuchun, please read our regulations in public right now so that everyone can know."
Zheng Yuchun quickly agreed, and together with several trainers, he told the rebels the regulations of the Zhu Family Army. After they finished speaking, no one stood up anymore, and they all fell to their knees.
Those soldiers who harbored women and committed misbehavior cried loudly. They could have become members of the Zhu family army and received these benefits.
Under great remorse, they all kowtowed and cracked their foreheads.
"Xiang Zhang, kill us! We are all beasts and do not deserve to live in this world! Cut us into pieces with thousands of knives and crush our bones into ashes!"
