Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 683 Wu Xun Group
Little Zhu left, and Lao Zhu asked, "I deliberately dismissed the prince, what do you want to tell us?"

Zhu Yunying became serious, "Xu Huizu has also returned. We must offend the person who should be offended. We thought that there are many people in these martial arts who are not clean up, so we simply beat the rabbits for a long time." A few are ready."

Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Yunying, and then said, "If we did these things before, you would say that we killed heroes. Now, you are the emperor, and we haven't done anything here. Go kill the hero."

Zhu Yunying was noncommittal, but said, "Grandpa Huang didn't kill a few heroes, that is, he killed some people when Hu Weiyong was at that time. Nowadays, many martial arts are not progressing, so we just want to beat them."

The actual situation is really like this. The time when Lao Zhu killed the hero most in history was in his later years.It was after Zhu Biao's death that a group of martial arts such as Lan Yu were cleaned up.Naturally, this was paving the way for Zhu Yunqi, and almost wiped out the luxurious and super first-class founding generals group at that time.

Knowing about the Lanyu case earlier, the family punished the first prince, the thirteenth prince, and the second uncle, and more than 5000 people were implicated and killed.Then he found an excuse to kill Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, and Fu Youde, Duke of Ying.In this way, at the end of the Hongwu Dynasty, among the founding heroes in the early Ming Dynasty, only Changxinghou Geng Bingwen and Wudinghou Guoying survived as dukes.

In history, Lao Zhu has a bad reputation for killing heroes, and a large part of the reason is the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case.

But this kind of thing does not exist in this life. The relatively large-scale event of cleaning up Wu Xun is actually the original Hu Weiyong case, and some Wu Xun were implicated.

The so-called four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty in history are only three major cases now.Although Lao Zhu did kill some heroes, there were also many heroes who died well, which can be regarded as having a relatively decent ending.

Zhu Yunying was not embarrassed, and said, "Anyway, we must have killed people this trip. For those ineffective Wu Xun, let's beat some people and clean up some people, that's about it."

Old Zhu nodded with a smile, and then reminded, "It is said that compassion does not command soldiers, and we are thinking the same way. Nowadays, there are some martial arts who are making trouble. If you clean them up, we are happy. But don't kill them." There are too many, let’s not say that you have a bad reputation, the main reason is that you will use soldiers in the future, and you should keep some people.”

Lao Zhu continued to remind and said, "In the early years, some disobedient people were dealt with. Most of these martial arts today are relatively sensible. Either they worked for your father in the early years, or they listened to you." if."

There's nothing wrong with saying that, because that's the way it is.

Those arrogant soldiers at the beginning of the founding of the country were basically cleaned up. The so-called Huaixi noble group was not lightly cleaned up, so basically there was no big deal.Even if many of the current martial arts are from the Huaixi Xungui Group, they are relatively controllable overall.

What's more, Fu Youde or Lan Yu are not the real nobles of Huaixi, at least not like the Xu family, many of them are fellow villagers of Lao Zhu.There is still some balance between the various martial arts groups, so the emperor can also be more at ease.

Zhu Yunying nodded and said with a smile, "Of course we understand these reasons, otherwise we would not have promoted people like Qiu Fu and Zhang Yu in the early years. Although they also have credit for the Northern Expedition, there are still some Far-fetched."

Hearing what Zhu Yunying said, Old Zhu naturally understood.However, he felt that Zhu Yunying was right to do so, and it must be the same way for him, this is the best way.

In the early years, a large number of martial artists were cleared up through the Hu Weiyong case, and many of them were indeed closely related to Hu Weiyong, or had such arrogance and lawlessness.But more, it is because of the problems of those people's backgrounds, and it is definitely not a good thing for the emperor to have these old brothers stick together.

Balance is very important. You can't hand over all the troops of the Ming Dynasty to the Fengyang people. You can't let all the military power be controlled by these old brothers or relatives, otherwise the emperor must feel uneasy.

The Xu faction is already strong enough, and the strength of the Chang faction cannot be ignored. As for Cao Guogong Li Jinglong or Song Guogong Feng Sheng, or even Ying Guogong Fu Youde, it seems that there are many hills in the military of the Ming Dynasty, but we should pay attention to it.

People like Zhang Yu actually have all these factions.Sometimes the emperor would hope that these military bosses would have fresh blood to replenish them, but he would definitely not want to see all the military affairs, that is, these factions digested internally.

With a relaxed expression, Zhu Yunying said, "This trip is just right, although we only took down some places in Koryo. It just benefited Uncle Wang and the others, but in the end it was also an achievement of destroying the country, and it can be regarded as expanding the territory. This hereditary Marquis title is justified."

It is not a secret that the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty are being updated.In addition to some second-generation or third-generation superiors, it was mainly through the Northern Expedition that fresh blood such as Qiu Fu and Zhang Yu emerged.

After all, the previous replacements looked more like some internal replacements. It was just that the son or grandson replaced Lao Tzu's position. Wu Xun's family counted and counted, and there were only a few.

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunying, and tested with a smile, "If you really talk about it, what do you think of Qiu Fu?"

Zhu Yunying thought about it carefully, and said, "This is a mighty general. It seems that he has the courageous spirit of Fu Youde when he was young. It can also be regarded as having some ability to command troops, but we always feel that this person is a bit unreliable. Although he is not brave, But this person is a bit pampered after all, we are afraid that he will go wild if he gets a little bit of ambition."

Lao Zhu nodded with a smile, and reminded, "He is a bit like Chang Shiwan and Fu Youde, but he just learned a lot. Naturally, you can use him at ease in fierce battles, as long as you command more than [-] troops, or the battle of destroying the country. You can't count on him."

I understand, this is a general, this is definitely not a reliable handsome talent.It is natural to use it to great effect, but it is necessary to pay attention to how to use it.You can't underestimate his ability, but you can't place too high expectations on him.

Old Zhu continued, "Zhang Yu should be pretty good. His son is now with the prince, and he has some skills. It's not too bad to think about his family background. If the father and son practice hard, they can not only help you If you do things, you can also help the prince. Those of the Chang family can't count on it, and we feel a little pity for Lan Yu."

There is really no hope for the Chang lineage. Although there is an outstanding fighter like Chang Yuchun, it is said that he is a tiger father and son. Chang Yuchun's three sons are more than one embroidered pillow.In addition, because of Zhu Yunying's relationship, the Chang family basically has no way to command the army in this life, at least two or three generations should not be counted on.

What's a pity for Lan Yu is that now she can only carry the banner of Chang's lineage, and has no successors.Although it is said that he has brought back a grandson, he will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield, and he can only inherit wealth and prosperity.

Old Zhu continued, "We just looked at the little brat of the Xu family, and the descendants of Xu Da's family are not good either. They are worthless compared to each other. This Xu Huizu has learned [-] to [-]% of his old man's skills. The little brat of the Xu family now , we will be thankful if we can learn [-]%, I guess it is the same as your uncle."

This naturally means that Xu Da's grandson Xu Qin, although Xu's family style is relatively strict, Xu Qin's character is not a big problem.The main thing is that in terms of ability, don't say that Lao Zhu doesn't like it, even Zhu Yunying doesn't like it.

Don't say anything about the child is still young now, or what will be sensible when he grows up.There are indeed many examples of late bloomers, but sometimes at three years old, you can see whether a boy is smart or talented.

Zhu Yunying said cheerfully, "That's a good thing. The King of Zhongshan helped the emperor's grandfather fight the country. He is the first hero in the founding of our Ming Dynasty. Xu Huizu was also reused by us, and their family also had a queen. Two generations helped the court. It’s enough to command the troops, and we can’t expect their third generation to follow suit.”

In fact, Lao Zhu also thought so, whoever said that the little brat of the Xu family was a bit worthless would indeed feel sorry for Xu Da.But from the standpoint of the emperor, this is a good thing. The Xu family is now prominent enough, there is no need to continue to cook them with fire, so it is not a good thing?

Looking at Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunying said, "Speaking of it, our court never goes to generals. There are still a few people on our side who can use it, and in the next few years, I guess we can train one or two people, which is about the same." .”

Don't look at the fact that there are no strong generals in the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country, but Zhu Yunying really doesn't need to worry about having no generals in the court.

Fu Youde, Lan Yu, or Xu Huizu, the Ming Dynasty really has no shortage of commanders now.Although people like Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying are old, they can still use their residual heat occasionally, and they still have some abilities.Of course, it's more because there are still some fresh blood, so naturally there is nothing to worry about.

Looking at his grandson, Lao Zhu asked, "You are planning to dispose of some martial arts, are you really willing?"

Knowing what Lao Zhu meant, Zhu Yunying also said with a smile, "We are the emperor of Daming, we are not the emperor of the Huaixi people, let alone the emperor of the Chang family!"

For this answer, Lao Zhu was naturally very satisfied, and he actually thought so at the beginning.The old brothers who came out of his hometown with him at the beginning certainly had some friendship, but whoever let him sit on the dragon chair should not just think of those people in his hometown of Fengyang, but Jiangshan Sheji.

The emperor naturally represents the interests of a certain class or certain groups. As the most powerful person in the ruling class, the emperor should enjoy the country and the country, and cannot just blindly favor certain classes.

Lao Zhu asked again, "Are you really willing to kill all the old courtiers who follow you?"

Zhu Yunying smiled frankly and said, "We didn't dig Zhang He's tombstone or dig up his grave. As for his unfilial descendants, that's their own fault. Naturally, we want to be rich, so we don't want to say that we were wronged. "

Zhu Yunying is generally unwilling to do things like Zhulian, but if he really wants to do it, he will not soften his heart.There may be some grievances in such a thing, but Manchu or Manchu may have so many grievances, but more people will not be innocent people.

Now that you are enjoying the convenience brought by your identity, you must be prepared, because your identity will be somewhat implicated.

Old Zhu asked again, "Xu Huizu is back now, and it won't be long before Fu Youde will come back. Think about it, what are you going to do with him?
Zhu Yunying took it for granted, "There is a Xu family at our gate, and a Chang family is enough. Fu Youde has made a lot of contributions over the years, and he is not too young, so he can take care of him with peace of mind."

There is no problem in saying that, although the early Fu Youde was not very conspicuous among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.But he can also be regarded as a late bloomer. He pacified the Southwest, took charge of the Northern Expedition, and the just-concluded Battle of Koryo. It can be said that his contribution is very great.

But these seem to be enough, and there is no need for him to continue to make contributions, otherwise it is really possible to cultivate a huge martial arts group.

Zhu Yunying said meanly, "Just like how the emperor dealt with Duke Xin and Duke Song in the early years."

Lao Zhu raised his hand and wanted to give Zhu Yunying a brain-breaker, thinking of him as a hero Zhu Hongwu, let's not talk about his early years.That is to say, when he became the emperor, even when he proclaimed himself the king of Wu before, no one dared to tease him.

But now it's good, after becoming a grandfather, he will be teased by this grandson from time to time, how can there be any reason for this?
However, Lao Zhu also agreed with Zhu Yunying's idea. Tang He and this old brother have contributed a lot, and Feng Sheng has also contributed a lot.If the two of them hadn't retreated bravely or been idled, it would be difficult for Fu Youde to succeed, or the Wuxun Group of the Ming Dynasty would have another huge mountain.

Zhu Yunying continued, "That's what Fu Youde is all about, and his sons are not considered successful. When he dies, we will crown him king. A hereditary title of duke is worthy of what he has established over the years. Credit."

This seems to be the best way. It is impossible for Fu Youde to make contributions this time.His contribution has been great enough, enough, and there is still some leeway to be left, otherwise it would not be a good story for the monarch and his ministers.

After discussing it carefully with Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunying felt a lot more at ease about the rearrangement of Wu Xun Group.

Xu Huizu is also back, so many things naturally need to be put on the agenda, of course it is important to clean up the administration of officials.However, the Wu Xun Group also needs to take care of it.
