Chapter 375: Rectify Wagang troops and send to Luoyang
In this way, Zhao Mingyuan became the leader of Wagang Village without any bloodshed.Although it seems to be a strong rise, it also leaves many hidden dangers.

For example, Zhao Mingyuan didn't trust Li Mi, but he had to keep his position.

After all, it was Li Mi who took the initiative to push him to the top, which showed enough sincerity.Even in order to win people's hearts, Zhao Mingyuan had to treat Li Mi favorably.

However, how could Li Mi really gain Zhao Mingyuan's trust?
Who knows if this is some trick Li Mi came up with or if he has some secret plan.

Although it seems that Li Mi is desperate, this is indeed his best choice.If this was really his plan, the price would be too high.

But things in the world are unpredictable, and there are many conspiracies and conspiracies that are unpredictable and unpredictable.Even though Zhao Mingyuan is already a Grand Master, he is not invincible.

Besides, how can we be careless about this kind of thing? If there is a one in ten thousand chance, we must pay ten thousand percent of vigilance.

After all, according to the original historical trajectory, Li Mi took charge of Wagang Village after killing Zhai Rang.Then attack Luoyang.Unfortunately, he was defeated by Wang Shichong and was forced to surrender to Li Yuan.

But not long after, Li Mi surrendered and rebelled again.

Li Mi wrote to Li Yuan, using the excuse to recruit Wagang's old troops to deal with Wang Shichong, and took the opportunity to lead Wang Bodang and other die-hard loyalists to regain their independence.

It's a pity that most of the old Wagang tribe have already come under the command of Qin King Li Shimin, and they don't even care about Li Mi's recruitment.

Therefore, Li Mi's surrender and rebellion this time was not successful, and he was quickly defeated and died.

In fact, many people had already seen the general trend at that time, and it was difficult for Li Mi to succeed this time.

Even before the incident, Shen Luoyan had advised Li Mi when he contacted his old department.

It's a pity that Li Mi was unwilling to be inferior to others. He believed that Li Yuan had treated him poorly and rebelled against him.In the end, as Shen Luoyan said, he was easily suppressed by Li Shimin.

How could Zhao Mingyuan not be wary of someone with such a temperament?

Although he had already guessed that Li Mi's recommendation for him to be promoted might have evil intentions, but even so, after thinking about it again and again, Zhao Mingyuan decided to swallow this bait. After all, he gave too much.

Yes, becoming the big leader is of great benefit to Zhao Mingyuan.

Even if according to the original plan, after Luoyang is conquered, the position of the leader of Wagangzhai will fall into Zhao Mingyuan's hands sooner or later.

But if he takes power in advance, Zhao Mingyuan can unify the power of Wagang Village earlier and enhance his own strength.

Many times, competing for the world is about taking the lead one step at a time, like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and the advantages become more and more obvious.

Therefore, being able to unify Wagang Village in advance and enhance his own strength will be of great benefit to Zhao Mingyuan's future plans, which forced Zhao Mingyuan to accept Li Mi's "good intention".

Although he didn't know Li Mi's specific plan, Zhao Mingyuan thought that he was just trying his best to rely on Zhao Mingyuan's power to develop himself and wait for the opportunity to make a move.

Or seeing that Zhao Mingyuan has formed a big feud with the Buddhist sect, it is very likely that he will be plotted by the Buddhist sect, which will rarely last long.Maybe Li Mi was waiting for Zhao Mingyuan to die suddenly and inexplicably one day in the future, so that he could occupy the magpie's nest and take advantage of Zhao Mingyuan's inheritance.

Although this is only a possibility guessed by Zhao Mingyuan, or maybe Li Mi really surrenders sincerely, in any case, it is naturally impossible for Zhao Mingyuan to give Li Mi the slightest chance.

Moreover, Zhao Mingyuan was confident that after unifying Wagang Village, the power he controlled would expand rapidly, far beyond what Li Mi could gather secretly.

When the time comes, even if Li Mi still has some rebellious intentions, he will be able to eliminate them with his backhand, and it will be difficult for him to become a general trend.

In this case, what's the harm in swallowing this bait?
In fact, although Zhao Mingyuan has now become the leader of Wagang Village, he has also become everyone's lord in name.But in fact, there are still small hills in Wagang Village, and there are no major changes.

Of course, this is not without benefits for Zhao Mingyuan.After all, the four words "justifiable" are the greatest benefit.

Zhao Mingyuan's current situation is as if he has taken the position of leader of an alliance.

Although nominally everyone listens to him, in fact there is no internal unity. Even if Zhao Mingyuan forcibly gives the order, the subordinates may just follow it in secret.

Zhao Mingyuan is still far from fully mastering this power.

Fortunately, Zhao Mingyuan's direct lineage was powerful, and his own strength and prestige also had overwhelming advantages. This allowed everyone to accept his rule and not be ignored like Zhai Rang.

But there is still a long way to go to get Zhai Rang and Li Mi's subordinates to regard themselves as Zhao Mingyuan's subordinates.

This is also a compromise that must be made when peacefully taking power, and it is also its drawback.

If Zhao Mingyuan wants to fully control Wagang Village, the first thing he needs to do is naturally take charge of military and political power.

But now, since Zhao Mingyuan has become the leader of Wagang Village, all the people are his subordinates in name, and naturally he cannot favor one over the other.

How could anyone remove someone as soon as he takes office and replace him with a direct descendant who is close to him?

Isn’t this nepotism and creating internal conflicts?

Who else will be convinced by Zhao Mingyuan in the future?

Naturally this cannot be done.

Fortunately, there was a suitable opportunity to take advantage of, and it happened to be in the plan, which was to attack Luoyang.

Attacking Luoyang was originally Wagangzhai's established strategy.

Although Zhao Mingyuan has now become the leader of Wagang Village, the old agreement of "the king who enters Luoyang first" is naturally invalidated.

But the benefits of conquering Luoyang are naturally known to everyone in Wagangzhai.What's more, Wagang Village has made a lot of preparations for this during this period. It has been mobilized for a long time and it has already been forced to launch.

Therefore, Zhao Mingyuan prepared to use the opportunity of attacking Luoyang to complete his plan to gather military power and establish his authority.

Since they are attacking Luoyang, all the generals will naturally follow the orders of the new leader Zhao Mingyuan.

Since Zhao Mingyuan has become the leader, he will naturally not favor one over the other and blindly reuse his direct descendants.Rather, it is about coordinating the overall situation and making reasonable plans.

As long as everyone is treated equally without distinction between internal and external, and is fair and just, and rewards are given based on their merits fairly after the war, then the morale of the military can be naturally gathered.

After all, they received orders from Zhao Mingyuan and were rewarded by Zhao Mingyuan after the war, so they would naturally regard themselves as Zhao Mingyuan's people.

In the military, straightforwardness is the top priority, and there is no need for complicated strategies.

As for policies and people's livelihood, Zhao Mingyuan was not polite and directly took it back to the central government to unified management and collective allocation of various logistics materials.

Because Zhao Mingyuan did not consolidate military power, the changes in this area did not arouse any material controversy.

After all, Zhao Mingyuan didn't keep all of this in his own hands, but found three people and handed it over to them to manage.

It is not easy to win someone with such trust as Zhao Mingyuan. These three people are Xu Xingzhi, Shen Luoyan and Wei Zheng.

Speaking of which, two of these three people were under Li Mi's command, and only Xu Xingzhi was considered a direct descendant of Zhao Mingyuan, which seemed fair.It seems that Zhao Mingyuan ignores past grudges and treats everyone in Wagang Village equally.

But people who know the inside story will naturally not see it this way.

Needless to say, Xu Xingzhi is a direct descendant of Zhao Mingyuan, so he naturally follows his lead.

As for Shen Luoyan, there have long been rumors that she had an ambiguous relationship with Zhao Mingyuan, so much so that she lost Li Mi's trust.Now it seems that the rumors are not groundless.

As for Wei Zheng, when they heard that he had also entered this important position, many people secretly resented that this lucky person had robbed them of their own merits, how shameless!
Yes, most people think that Zhao Mingyuan's appreciation of Wei Zheng is a reward for him to support him first.

Of course, in fact, it was because Wei Zheng was indeed talented and coupled with the celebrity filter that Zhao Mingyuan reused him.

Speaking of Wei Zheng in history, he first served under Li Mi, and later defected to Li Tang after Li Mi's defeat, and became the counselor of Prince Li Jiancheng.

It was a pity that Li Jiancheng was hesitant about Wei Zheng's suggestion to attack Li Shimin first, and was eventually killed by Li Shimin at the Xuanwu Gate.

Therefore, after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Wei Zheng became Li Shimin's minister again.

Thinking of Wei Zheng's resume, Zhao Mingyuan somehow suddenly remembered Zhang Fei's words about Lu Bu's three-surnamed family slave.

Counting this way, Wei Zheng also has a resume of being a minister of three families, but in the end he was famous for his outspoken remonstrance. It is really unpredictable!
Of course, in troubled times, the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.There is no way to blame this.

In fact, although loyalty was emphasized in ancient times, it was not that exaggerated.

Just like now, if this company has poor development prospects, poor remuneration, uncomfortable working environment, or even the company goes bankrupt and is annexed, then it is normal to switch to a new company, and no one will say anything.

With so many people changing jobs, Lu Bu was the only one who was called a house slave with three surnames. This may be because he always jumped to a rival company and killed his boss.

This is a bit damaging to one's character, no wonder it doesn't end well.

Seeing Wei Zheng being reused in this way, naturally some people followed suit.Soon someone wrote a letter asking Zhao Mingyuan to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, or at least proclaim himself king first.

Are you kidding me? It's too early to become king at this time. It will make everyone in the world laugh out loud, and it will even make people jealous.

Not long after the fall of Sui and Yang, many forces still used the banner of Sui and Yang, such as Li Yuan and Wang Shichong, who were still sons of the Sui and Yang clans that they supported.

Although everyone knows the specific situation, this fig leaf cannot be removed now.

Doesn't this public proclaiming the king create a living target and attract enemies?
Zhao Mingyuan naturally disagreed, so he said: "Don't mention this matter again until Luoyang is captured."

Although many people want this support, what Zhao Mingyuan said makes sense.By conquering Luoyang and taking control of the Central Plains, this will truly be the foundation for hegemony. When the time comes, I must be the first to support His Majesty.

However, even so, everyone also proposed that Zhao Mingyuan should have a resounding name.

After all, even Li Mi has the title of "Pushan Gong", but Zhao Mingyuan is still called a general and a son, which feels a bit meaningless.Even if it is Da Longtou, that is Zhai Rang's previous name, which is not very appropriate.

In the end, everyone agreed on a title, called "Mingshuai".

Mingshuai, Zhao Mingyuan couldn't help but think of Kou Zhong's title of Young Marshal, and it felt a bit similar.

But it’s okay, that’s it, it’s a temporary title anyway, and it probably won’t last long.

However, the title Mingshuai seemed to be repeated to someone, but Zhao Mingyuan couldn't remember it for the moment.

However, since I have called him this name, let's see who dares to call him this name in front of me.

Smart people will change it themselves.

If he is not smart, someone will make him smart.
