Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 68 Anyone who violates the prohibition will be killed with a bare blade.

[After the destruction of the royal court in the Mobei Grassland, the heroes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty separatized the north of Hanhai. From time to time, they crossed the border and plundered the border areas of the Ming Dynasty. The people on the border were humiliated and miserable. 】

[In the second year of Jian'an, you swore to fight for the Northern Expedition and marched in person. 】

[In June, the Ming army came out of Juyongguan and marched around the narrow road, aiming at Guangwu Town. This narrow road is a bit risky, the terrain is dangerous, and it is easy to be ambushed, but the advantage is that this place has been abandoned by Beiyuan for a long time, and few people pass by. 】

[By the time the Yuan people reacted, the Ming army was already less than a hundred miles away from Guangwu Town. 】

[The important minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Ma'er Haza, hastily gathered ten thousand horses to fight. However, due to no preparation in advance, he was defeated in one fell swoop after the Ming army started fighting. 】

[After defeating Ma'er Haza, you took advantage of the strong morale of the Ming army and led the army to advance vigorously. You defeated important ministers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty such as Yesuntai and Alutai along the way, and approached the Han court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

In the current simulation, the worst one is undoubtedly Bei Yuan. Whenever heroes emerged from the Ming Dynasty, they would send troops to attack Bei Yuan to gain their reputation.

Zhu Di, Zhu Zhu, Zhu Youyu, Wang Zhi... Anyone who fought in the Ming Dynasty had to beat Bei Yuan like a dog.

Could it be that Bei Yuan is some kind of newcomer copy?

[After sweeping through Eastern Mongolia, in October, you had a decisive battle with the great lord of Oara, Ugeqi Hashiha, in the area of ​​Ubusu Lake. 】

[This is your last powerful enemy in Mobei and the last hero of Beiyuan. This is destined to be a battle that will amaze the world. 】

[Facing such a powerful enemy, you think your troops need to be quick, so you take advantage of the enemy's disorder to launch a surprise attack. The most elite cavalry of the Ming army attacked Wala's camp on the bank of Ubusu Lake. Ugeqiha Shiha remained calm in the face of danger and personally led his guards to meet the enemy. 】

[Tens of thousands of cavalry fought fiercely on the river beach, and the blood soaked the sand and gravel, dyeing the river bloody. After a day and night of bloody battles, the Ming army, which took the lead in attacking, finally gained the upper hand. Ugeqi Hashha was killed in the battle, and Wala was defeated. 】

[After defeating all opponents, you led the Ming army to attack the Beiyuan Khan's court, and captured more than a hundred people including Beiyuan Khan Borzhijin Elbek, Taiwei Haohai Dayu, princesses, and princesses. The Northern Yuan Khan Court was defeated in one fell swoop. 】

[You used a battle to destroy the Yuan to consolidate your prestige as the new emperor. 】

Lao Zhu curled his lips. To others, destroying Yuan was a supreme honor, but for Lao Wu, it was already a basic operation.

[After the master returns to the court, you reward the ministers generously and make forty princes for their meritorious service. 】

[However, after this battle, there were many arrogant and lawless people in the capital, who violated the prohibitions and laws, making it difficult to govern. You order the guards in Jinyi to forge eight hundred white swords and hang them in front of the Fengtian Palace. Anyone who violates the prohibition will be killed with the white swords. 】

[Li Zengzhi, the former left governor of the military governor's office, was executed by you with a bare sword for humiliating the people. 】

[Li Zengzhi is the son of Li Wenzhong and the brother of Cao Guogong Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong is your die-hard loyalist and the first hero to follow you during the Meridian Gate Incident. But even so, you showed no mercy when you killed Li Zengzhi. 】

[You said to the ministers: "The laws of the Ming Dynasty are established and not violated, and those who are violated must be punished. I govern the country by law. The law is not noble, and rewards and punishments are clear. Officials who do not serve in official positions have no merit, and soldiers who do not fight will not be rewarded."]

[After this incident, the capital was frightened, and the arrogant relatives only dared to behave with their tail between their legs. For a time, the capital was unprecedentedly clear. 】

[The Supreme Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang asks you: "When I was in power, all those who were corrupt were killed. There were countless people who peeled daylilies, but corrupt officials continued to do so, killing more and more. Why did you stop after killing only one person?" Lived for corruption?"]

[One year during the Hongwu Dynasty, 364 officials were dispatched from Tongshuangbang. They held a meeting to study before taking office and held a "study class" in Gongyuan. Zhu Yuanzhang personally taught the class, instilling the concept of honesty and integrity, and being an upright and conscientious person in both public and private matters. Clearly a good official. ]    【One year later, six people were killed. 】

[It is not that the Gongyuan study class made some people improve. In fact, in addition to the six people who were killed, there were 358 people serving death sentences and migration crimes. 】

[Co-authorship means that every one of these officials who have received special anti-corruption training is a criminal. Because the yamen was seriously short of staff, they were asked to work in shackles and try cases. 】

[Even though Zhu Yuanzhang killed tens of thousands of people, he still did not stop the corruption. 】

[Your answer is: "Corruption is rampant and it does not stop, which shows that there is something wrong with the system itself. Killing to cure corruption has little effect, so why not try to cure corruption with law? Use the law to deter the upper class, and use the higher salaries of grassroots officials to stabilize At the lower level, although only Li Zengzhi died, the entire capital was stabilized."]

[In the next thirty years, you focused on increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, reforming household registration, developing the economy, and fostering the land system. 】

[During your reign, you did not launch many large-scale wars. After the destruction of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, what Ming Dynasty needed was economic development. During the Hongwu Dynasty, although Ming Dynasty was strong, it always gave people a sense of poverty. 】

[After you came to power, you advocated integrity, rectified the administration of officials, and focused on the principle of breaking the rules and seeking truth when appointing officials, and you only promoted talents. Even people who come from humble backgrounds or have an insulting reputation can still be put to good use under you as long as they have talent. 】

[Until later in life, your reputation has been controversial. 】

[Some people say that you are a tyrant who usurps the throne and the country. You are too violent, your behavior is too extreme, and you do things by any means. 】

[Some people say that you are a talented and strategic overlord with far-sighted vision to bring peace to the world. You have established the great cause of Jian'an with your magnanimous magnanimity and contributed to the country. 】

[But you never care about what others think of you, you just do what you think is right. 】

[You have been in office for thirty years, conquering Mobei, destroying the Northern Yuan Dynasty, reforming the official system, and restoring the people's fields... Your achievements are countless, and everything you do is for the Ming Dynasty. You have not wasted a day. You single-handedly created the Ming Dynasty. The prosperous period of Jian'an. 】

[You have never thought about whether the merits and demerits will balance out the merits and demerits when future generations evaluate you. In your opinion, merit is merit and fault is fault. If future generations call you a traitor and a traitor, you will not complain. 】

[While talking and laughing about right and wrong, you will not regret doing anything. 】

[No matter how many things you have done that will be reviled by future generations, your achievements in this life will always be engraved in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and everyone will remember the prosperous mountains and rivers created by you, the hero. 】

[In the thirty-first year of Jianwen's reign, you died. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the elements of this traitor were too complicated, and it was difficult for him to evaluate him.

This change is too big.

Suddenly, he changed from an idle king with no ambitions to an ambitious tycoon. If he had been born in the late Yuan Dynasty, perhaps Lao Zhu would have felt that he had met an unforgettable confidant, but this man was his son.

From the perspective of filial piety, it would not be too much for Zhu Yuanzhang to chop this traitor alive.

But from a royal perspective, even Lao Zhu admired King Wu. His decisiveness and domineering attitude were rarely surpassed by other heroes throughout the dynasties.
