Luo Guanzhong had mixed feelings and couldn't describe what he was feeling.
He came with full confidence, but at this moment he was not even half sure.
Because he found that although this group of red scarfs were not well-known, they were very organized in their work. People were coming and going in the market. Although it was not lively, it was quite impressive during the war.
The most important thing is the rules!
From top to bottom, everything is within the rules.
It was actually much better under Yuan Ting's rule than before the war.
Of course, I can’t say that the place in Gaoyou is not good. I can only say that the state of vigorous vitality and all things competing with each other is a different experience from the orderly and step-by-step experience here.
Who is good and who is bad, Luo Guanzhong is not sure.
If you can't even convince yourself, how can you convince the other party?
Therefore, Luo Guanzhong was very cautious and went to the lobby of the former magistrate's office. He greeted Lao Zhu, explained his intention, and handed Zhang Shicheng's letter.
"This is my King Cheng's idea. I hope to invite General Zhu to participate in the grand event and destroy the Baoyuan!"
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly glanced at the content of the letter and handed it to Zhang Ximeng who was sitting next to him. Then he smiled and said: "We don't read many books, and we don't know many words. But the meaning above is still clear. You, Prince Cheng,
But you want us to surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty! That’s right, right?”
Zhang Shicheng named his country Zhou and named himself King Cheng. I don’t know how his brain circuit developed. He changed his name to Zhang Shicheng and then named himself King Cheng. Could it be that he contracted the disease while selling smuggled salt? I like it.
Flaunt honesty and trustworthiness?
Lao Zhu had no intention of speculating, but the condescending attitude in the letter made Lao Zhu very uncomfortable.
Luo Guanzhong was also quite embarrassed, "General Zhu, the red scarves in the world are of the same family. My King Cheng occupies Gaoyou, with many soldiers and generals, and the momentum is like a rainbow. Naturally, I want to contact the heroes and achieve great things. If General Zhu is willing to join forces, I am willing to go back immediately
, persuade King Cheng to show more intention."
Zhu Chongba sneered, "Is Zhang Shicheng really confused, or pretending to be confused? Or does he think we are stupid? He cut off the canal's grain supply, and claimed to be Wang Jianguo without permission. The Yuan Ting army is not far away, and he is afraid that he will be the third
Two sesame plums. What he needs when the time comes is for us to give him a hand, do you understand?"
Lao Zhu's tone was harsh and merciless, and he ripped off Zhang Shicheng's skin. Luo Guanzhong was stunned and wanted to refute, but found that Lao Zhu seemed to be right!
His teacher had analyzed that as long as he became the king, the Yuan army would definitely attack. However, he also said that becoming the king and establishing the country was justified and he could recruit heroes to fight against the Yuan Dynasty together.
The good and the bad were all told by Shi Naian, and he truly listened to your words as if he were listening to you.
Since there are both good and bad, why don't we become kings and still wear python robes?
But when it comes to Lao Zhu, the conclusion is much simpler.
Xuzhou Sesame Lee, learn from the past, the next one is you Zhang Shicheng!
Luo Guanzhong couldn't help but tremble, and he forced a smile, "My King Cheng is naturally not afraid of his fierce generals and powerful soldiers. What's more, the Yuan court is tyrannical and absurd, and people are disgusted. Even if a million troops come, they are still no match for King Cheng!"
I have to say that this is Luo Guanzhong's boast. After all, he cannot understand history like Zhang Ximeng.
Lao Zhu laughed loudly and said: "In this case, you, King Cheng, should ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, and become the emperor yourself. Only King Cheng, you have wronged him!"
Luo Guanzhong was speechless. For the first time, he realized that the skill on the hands and the skill on the tongue were not the same. Like a certain author, he was a shy boy who was not good at words.
Faced with Lao Zhu's sharp words, which hit his heart, he didn't know how to answer... And since it was Zhang Shicheng who was in a difficult situation, shouldn't His Highness Prince Cheng submit to him, General Zhu?
At this point, there is no need to continue talking. This time Zhao'an completely failed.
At this moment, Zhang Ximeng suddenly spoke, "My lord, I don't think King Cheng has any ill intentions. He doesn't know our strength. As the saying goes, once you are born again, you will be familiar again. It will be better if you move around more. What's more, the Yuanting army is overwhelming. We
There should be more cooperation between you and Prince Cheng."
Zhang Ximeng turned to Luo Guanzhong again and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please don't mention the content of this letter again. My lord is now under the command of Marshal Guo, how can he join King Cheng? But if your Majesty is willing, you can come here
See and listen more, so that when we return, we can explain clearly to King Cheng and let him know our situation."
Zhang Ximeng turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang again, "What do you think, my lord?"
"Well, that's good... Do we have anything urgent to do today?"
"Yes, there are several corrupt officials who need to be dealt with, including Lao Zhang, the magistrate of Hengjian Mountain, and Bai Jing'en, the former magistrate of Chuzhou." Zhang Ximeng smiled and explained to Luo Guanzhong: "My lord follows the principle of eradicating rape and evil.
I will show no mercy to the lackeys of Yuan Ting and the corrupt officials who harm the people. I wonder what His Highness Prince Cheng did?"
Luo Guanzhong cheered up and said loudly: "My King Cheng has launched an uprising. He first killed Zhao Lian, who participated in politics in Jiangbei Province, Henan, and then killed Li Qi, the prefect. Corrupt officials are all afraid of the reputation of our King Cheng!"
What else can I do? Just blow it!
Zhang Ximeng didn't talk nonsense to Luo Guanzhong, he just smiled and said: "That's good, please see how we judge corrupt officials!"
…
Lao Zhang was captured when he was conquering Hengjian Mountain.
Some people may be curious as to why it has been delayed until now and he has not been dealt with yet.
This matter was Zhang Ximeng's idea. He asked Lao Zhang to write a self-statement and write three thousand words every day. If he didn't write it in full, he wouldn't be allowed to eat or sleep.
He tormented Lao Zhang just to get him to explain more about Yuan Ting's situation, not to catch up on updates and read novels! Don't be fooled...
The history of the Yuan Dynasty is a bad debt, due to too many transliteration problems. Looking around, there are Tamerlane... Not to mention the highly similar names, various things are also messy, and it is easy to cause confusion.
So when we talk about the past dynasties, we can name a few famous ministers and interesting emperors... But when it comes to the Yuan Dynasty, it seems that after Kublai Khan, the Yuan Dynasty collapsed and perished. There are too few contents that can be left in the memory.
.
Zhang Ximeng also had limited knowledge of the situation in the Yuan Dynasty. Although Jia Lu was there, he was only a Han official and a technocrat after all, and he did not know many things clearly.
At this time, the value of Lao Zhang was revealed. He led the army with a semu man.
He knew a lot about the news in the army, the finances and taxes of the Yuan Dynasty, and even the secret affairs of the palace... In these days, Zhang Ximeng squeezed out a total of 300,000 words from Lao Zhang and put them in files for future use.
Just such a move is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
There is no doubt that as long as you persist, the information in your hands will only become more and more abundant. When the time comes, Zhang Ximeng can say: No one understands Yuan Ting better than me!
And these things not only include the Yuan Dynasty, but also those khanates.
As a humble social official, Zhang Ximeng has the responsibility to plan the future affairs of Emperor Hongwu... As we all know, Lao Zhu is the real incarnation of the Liver Emperor, and he takes on all the work of the Emperor and Prime Minister by himself.
Although this led to the prosperous age of Hongwu, Lao Zhu did all the work, so what was Zhang Ximeng doing?
It is simply a crime to restrict an emperor like Lao Zhu, who is so troublesome, from daily government affairs!
His energy should be used to do bigger things, such as bringing all the vassal states of the Yuan Dynasty into the territory... At present, Zhang Ximeng can let Lao Zhu enter Chuzhou a few months in advance, and then he can seize Jinling early.
The longer the time, the more influence there will be, and the more changes will be produced... At first, Zhang Ximeng was also worried about the problem of being a master of high deeds, and accompanying the emperor like a tiger. The knife in the hand of Emperor Hongwu was very sharp.
But gradually Zhang Ximeng realized that he could unknowingly direct this magic weapon in other directions. And as long as his career gets bigger, Lao Zhu will need more helpers. Sooner or later, he will understand that the power of one person is
limited.
In fact, not only Zhang Ximeng can sit back and relax, but those nobles who have nowhere to put their energy may also have a better way out.
You can't reach a thousand miles without accumulating small steps. All changes come from the accumulation of knowledge.
Lao Zhang's memoirs are just the beginning.
"You led the troops to kill the Red Turban Rebels and brutalized the people. You have committed such a serious crime that death is not a pity! However, because you have a good attitude towards repentance and acted according to orders, I only sentence you to beheading."
Lao Zhu announced loudly.
Luo Guanzhong almost laughed out loud, what's this? I gave you grace, just chopped off your head, and thought you were going to be released? It's all death anyway, so what's the difference?
Just when he was laughing at Lao Zhu's absurdity and ignorance in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly said: "Put a suspended sentence for five years to see the effects!"
At this time, Zhang Ximeng spoke, "Old Zhang, five years of probation is to give you five years to change your ways. You must think about where to go! Do you understand?"
Lao Zhang kowtowed hard, making a thumping sound, and burst into tears of gratitude, "The superiors are kind, the superiors are magnanimous... Lao Zhang understands that he must work hard, repent seriously, and start a new life."
He thanked him profusely, and some soldiers took Lao Zhang away and let him go to work.
Luo Guanzhong was dumbfounded. For the officials and generals who surrendered, they either pardoned their crimes and took them for their own use, or they chopped off their heads as a thank you to the world. He had never seen anything like this before.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is another deep meaning, but I can't figure out what the deep meaning is... Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng, a pair of monarchs and ministers, can't help but become mysterious and profound.
At this time, someone brought the prefect Bai Jing'en up again... and Luo Guanzhong also looked at the file at hand. This person who presented the city with a naked body seemed to have a good official reputation. No need to ask, Lao Zhang could escape death, he must
Nothing will happen.
But at this moment, Zhang Ximeng suddenly said leisurely: "Bai Jing'en, you asked us not to kill people and not to do anything wantonly... But look now, is Chuzhou better or worse than before? It's because we don't know how to govern.
, or are you shielding corrupt officials?"
Bai Jingen was startled. He raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng who were sitting on top. Deep in his eyes, a ball of angry flames surged...
