Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 196 Mr.’s kindness is not over yet!
Zhang Cheng knew that strengthening social rights was destined to intensify contradictions and conflicts.

However, interests can still be discussed, concessions can still be made, and interests can still be compromised, but opinions cannot tolerate the slightest concession.

For those who truly aspire to the world, this is a minefield.

This has been true since ancient times.

Therefore, even if Zhang Cheng knew this would happen, he still chose to do it, and was even prepared to use force to clean up.

The same goes for Zhu Yuanzhang.

We drink from the golden cup together, but we will not spare each other with the white sword.

Historically, he gave Li Shanchang more than 1,000 hectares of land when he returned to his hometown for recuperation without hesitation.

Likewise, he did not hesitate when killing Li Shanchang.

Influenced by Zhang Cheng, Zhu Yuanzhang's landlordism did not reappear in this life, but he highly praised the Datong Thought. Politically, he even paid more attention to the loyalty of others to the Datong Thought rather than his own loyalty. He also cared more about power. What is important is to strengthen the absolute leadership of social power over violent groups, namely the military.

This can also be regarded as a kind of exclusion of dissidents.

"As for the newly attached officer schools, the Second Army has been reorganized. If we reorganize them, we don't have to worry about anything going wrong."

"But fortunately, although Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou of the Fourth Army did not want Datong Society to develop members, I still asked some of Guo Marshal's old subordinates who were already members of Datong Society to secretly organize the Military-Civilian Federation to promote the ideas of Datong Society, and also developed a group of , the establishment of the Military-Civilian Federation in the name of everyone working together to help the people in an organized manner has also allowed many Second Military Academy students who are willing to help the people and regard the people as their own to join the association, making it the easiest A group of people who accept the idea of ​​Datong.”

"If you don't pass the test mentally, you won't be selected by me;"

"Therefore, many officers and schools of the Second Army have now accepted the idea of ​​​​Datong. Therefore, if we really need to use force to eliminate dissidents, the losses will not be huge."

Because of this difference, violent fights occur first at the grassroots level rather than at the upper levels.

"For the rebel brothers who cannot accept Datong's proposition at all, we can only eliminate them! Even if they are expelled, they will only harm the people and breed enemies!"

"When the rebel army is completely reorganized and truly under the absolute control of the Datong Society, we can redefine the name of the military to represent the concept of Datong, instead of just calling it the rebel army. The name "rebel army" is still not enough to match the traditional loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice. differentiate."

However, this kind of exclusion of dissidents is not the traditional exclusion of dissidents who are not loyal to themselves, but the elimination of dissidents who have different opinions from themselves.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his opinion to Zhang Chengxian.

Zhang Cheng carefully analyzed the situation of the various armies before the rebel army crossed the river. This was also to strengthen his determination to eliminate dissident elements in the rebel army.

"After all, they are all the people you selected from Marshal Guo in your early years, and the people I selected at Waliang Base."

Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang learned that he and Zhang Cheng had met to prepare members of the Datong Society to eliminate dissidents, which would lead to more intense struggles within the rebel army and even group fights, he was not horrified, but knew that this would definitely happen. What happened was just the prelude to the coming storm.

It has the characteristics that the strong wind started at the end of Qingping.

Then he began to pace around the room.

"Needless to say, the First Army is all members of the Datong Society!"

"The one with the weakest control of Datong Society is the Fourth Army."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and thought for a while.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang is not a fool. He knows that his life is only a hundred years and he cannot control the world forever, but he can let his thoughts control violent institutions, and then his ideas can always be used as the basis for governing the country in this country.

Politicians pursue goals that span hundreds or even thousands of years, not the current situation.

"The Third Army and the Fourth Army are basically under the control of our Datong Society because Li Shanchang, Feng Guoyong, and Shao Rong are willing to let Datong Society members enter their military schools to serve as officers and develop members. Only a small number of them still want to leave. The patriarchal etiquette;"

suddenly.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped and stared at Zhang Cheng, and said decisively:
"We will do the work of strengthening social rights against the military and clearing them out by force. Mr. Zhang, you don't have to interfere!"

"This is something that people hate."

"How can I let you participate alone?"

Zhang Cheng frowned.

Look serious.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked deeply at the clumps of grass under the patio outside the window, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said: "Just because it is something that is hated by others, we can do it alone."

then.

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands on his hips, looked outside and said, "Don't we need to unite the majority and deal with the small minority? Once a person is hated by others, it will be difficult to unite the majority."

"Besides, you are from a noble family and I am from a commoner family. Many people have bad intentions towards us from the bottom of their hearts. Even if we are sincerely friends, they will think that we have bad intentions."

"In that case, it's better to let us be the bad guy!"

“It’s up to you to be a good person who tries to unite others and show mercy to others!”

"Because you are from a noble family, they are more willing to believe that you have good intentions and that you are an upright man. Even now that you are rebelling against Hu Yuan, the people on Hu Yuan's side still think that you are just going astray and are still merciful. "It turns out that it's not like we are treated like that, the higher we are, the more dishonest we are."

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, there was a hint of helplessness in his smile.

Zhang Cheng was very touched after hearing this and said with a smile: "It's just that the people are not wise enough."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said without doubt: "It's not just a matter of people's ignorance, it's a matter of class hatred!"

"Mr. Zhang, the book you gave me makes the truth very clear. They are not actually hostile to Zhu Yuanzhang, but to the class that Zhu Yuanzhang represents! Commoners like us who have not achieved wealth by following their rules , it is destined not to be praised!”

then. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Cheng with a serious face: "Mr. Zhang, you should continue to be responsible for benefiting the people. Firstly, you know better than us how to benefit the people. Secondly, we know better than you how to deal with some of my father's old subordinates." , people all over the world are more willing to believe that you are sincerely good to them, and they are more willing to praise you."

"Row!"

Zhang Cheng nodded, no longer pretending to be pretentious, just gritted his teeth and took a step back, bowing to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I will be the supreme leader of the Datong Society!"

Zhu Yuanzhang returned the favor with a cupped hand: "Sir, you should be the great benefactor of the world!"

Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou walked over quickly.

"The Second Army was in trouble, so we arrived a little late."

"Mr. Zhang, don't blame me!"

Guo Tianxu came up at this time, bowed to Zhang Cheng, and then gave Zhu Yuanzhang a fist: "The Prime Minister came so early."

Because today is the day for the collegial meeting of the political hall.

Therefore, it stands to reason that all the important figures of the rebel army who need to attend the collegial meeting of the Political Hall will gather at Zhongshu Provincial Yamen today.

After Guo Tianxu said this, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There are many things and time is tight, so we cannot relax. We have heard about the situation of your Second Army. Can it be calmed down?"

Guo Tianxu replied: "Of course it has calmed down!"

"It's good if it can be calmed down. Otherwise, we will just think that you, Guo Pingzhang, are incompetent and can't even control your own second army."

Zhang Cheng answered bluntly.

Guo Tianxu hurriedly denied it and said: "Of course not!"

At this time.

Li Shanchang, Feng Guoyong, Shao Rong, Zhu Wenzheng, Chang Yuchun, Deng Yu, and Xie Zaixing also arrived.

"Ascend!"

"Mr. Zhang!"

Li Shanchang shed tears immediately after seeing Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng, and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng while choking.

"Too fake!"

"Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, we won't cry when we meet."

"It makes it seem like my superior and I are more important to you than your parents."

Zhang Cheng still said bluntly.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Zhang Cheng said, his face twitched.

Li Shanchang was slightly startled here, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his eyes: "Although Mr. Zhang said it as a joke, he was right. For Shanchang, the kindness between the superior and Mr. Zhang is as great as heaven, and it is indeed like parents."

"Is it true that this great kindness will never end in a lifetime?"

Zhang Cheng asked pretending to be serious.

Li Shanchang was speechless.

Zhu Yuanzhang tugged at Zhang Cheng and said in a low voice: "That's enough for you. You know that someone is good, honest, honest, and yet you still bully someone like this! We can't stand it anymore."

"Ascend."

"Mr. Zhang was actually right."

"The kindness between you and Mr. Zhang will last a lifetime."

Li Shanchang gritted his teeth and bowed again, and replied with these words.

"If it's not over yet, then pay it back slowly."

Zhang Cheng came over with a smile, took Li Shanchang's hand, walked inside, and said to Guo Tianxu and others:

"You all come along and divide your bonuses first before starting the discussion!"

"After the victory of Jiqing, the order volume of the government-controlled Huimin Trading Company and the Ordnance Store has been increasing day by day! And we have worked hard for so long to drive out the Tartars and restore China, and we should see the results of our hard work, so , my boss and I decided to cash in the bonus first.”

Zhang Cheng shouted loudly: "Qi Xiang, let them carry out all the silk and satin!"

"Yes!"

Not long after.

There were sergeants carrying out boxes of silk and satin one after another.

Zhang Cheng continued on the sidelines: "Considering that we need to establish our own currency system next, gold and silver should be kept in the public treasury as stacking capital (reserves) as much as possible, and grain will be distributed as military pay, so , those of us who are the leading figures in government-run holdings, the dividends are divided into silk and satin. These silk and satin can be stored and used directly by our families. We can also reward them or use them to exchange for others. Naturally, they are good things. , I think you all have no objection.”

Guo Tianxu looked at the large amount of silk being carried continuously, swallowed his throat and said:

"Of course I have no objection, but it's just too much. Even though we, the Guo family, come from a wealthy family, we have never seen so much silk!"
