Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 115 Hua Yun is criticized, Zhang Cheng establishes Datong Society

After Liu Bowen saw Song Lian's letter, he couldn't help closing his eyes and sighing:
"Well, you Longmenzi (Song Lian Dao name) is actually more anxious to find a way out than I, Liu Bowen!"

Song Lian did serve as a Taoist priest in the mountains in history.

It was in the tenth year of the Zhizheng period that he went to Huashan specifically to become a Taoist.

The reason Song Lian claimed to be a Taoist priest was that he had been weak and sick since he was a child, so he needed to go to the mountains to practice Taoism and learn health-preserving techniques. In fact, he had already gone to the mountains to write books in order to escape from troubled times.

Because Song Lian had seen that the Yuan Dynasty at that time did not have much hope of resurgence, and might even end the country, so he did not want to be an official of the Yuan Dynasty anymore, lest in the future, when the dynasty changed, he would appear to be an official of the new dynasty. There is a loss.

However, one year before Song Lian entered the mountain to become a Taoist, someone recommended him to be the Hanlin editor of the Yuan Dynasty.

Fortunately, he finally succeeded in resigning.

But Song Lian was still afraid because of this, and simply chose to go into the mountains to follow the path. It was not until now that the world was really in chaos and Yuan Ting couldn't notice him that he returned home and waited for the opportunity.

In history, Song Lian was after Zhu Yuanzhang established his footing in the south of the Yangtze River, and after seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's troops were ready to become the master of the world, he decisively hid his family in Gouwu Mountain in Zhuji. However, he did not enter the mountain, but went to Zhu Yuanzhang. He served as a teacher in the school established by the prefect Wang Xianzong under his name, in order to be noticed by Zhu Yuanzhang in this way.

Therefore, in this life, after Song Lian listened to Liu Bowen's analysis and made his own judgment, he went directly to Waliang Lei first.

For this meeting, Zhu Wenzheng and many others who stayed in Jiqing rushed back specially.

"It's already the twelfth lunar month, and most of the post-war things that need to be done after the attack on Jiqing have been done. The Yuan soldiers will not raise a large number of troops in a short time, whether it is to raise food and grass, or to provide symbolic relief because they are in dire straits of cold and hunger. In order to avoid a larger-scale uprising in the coming year, the people from all over the country have to wait until the spring of next year before other Yuan soldiers will take action. What's more, now that we have captured Jiqing, I am afraid that it will also cause the current Yuan court to The struggle became more intense.”

It can be said that Song Lian was not an indifferent person who only wanted to write books and biographies and was indifferent to fame and fortune, but a shrewd scholar-bureaucrat who also wanted to be prominent and famous in the world.

Since the capture of Jiqing, Zhang Cheng's rebel army has no shortage of charcoal, so they don't need to use it all for smelting iron, but can use a large amount to keep out the cold, so as to prevent everyone above and below from being caught in the cold and dying from the cold at this time.

"Let you point out problems to yourselves and each other so that our rebel army can become stronger, and to prevent you and your fellow rebel brothers from dying in vain in future battles because you are not aware of your own problems."

"I will not criticize or punish anyone just because what was criticized was right and what was exposed was right, nor will I punish anyone just because what was criticized was wrong and what was revealed was wrong."

"If there are any experiences and lessons that need to be summed up during this gathering, and if there are any people or things that need to be criticized, since we are all brothers, we should speak freely."

Zhang Cheng also followed: "Brother Shu Anguo is right. Since he has joined the rebel army and regards the brothers in the rebel army as his brothers, he should have the courage to point out the problems of his own brothers. Therefore, what brother Shu Anguo just said is worthy of praise!"

Therefore, even when Zhang Cheng and other rebel officials had a meeting together, basically five or six people could discuss things around a stove.

"Rebels should be honored to die in battle, but their death cannot be in vain. They cannot die because others and themselves are reckless."

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally noticed Song Lian and later made him the teacher of Prince Zhu Biao.

"Let's do a post-war summary first."

"It is precisely because the rebels saved me that I need to know everything and speak out. I will follow Mr. Zhang's instructions and speak out about the problems I see with the rebels."

"So, we have to take advantage of this moment to rest, reorganize, and summarize. It is necessary for everyone to rest assured about the matters at hand and gather together to discuss."

At this time, Zhang Cheng was presiding over a meeting in a rebel lecture hall in a small fishing village called Qiliwan near Waliang Lei.

After hearing this, Hua Yun looked towards Shu Anguo, slapped the table, stood up and said:
"What the hell do you have to criticize me? If I hadn't captured Chuzhou City and saved you, you would still be selling calligraphy on the street for a living!"

You must know that throughout history, Liu Bowen was still hesitant about whether to join the rebel army. In the end, when Zhu Yuanzhang's ministers forced him to join the rebel army, Song Lian had already joined the rebel army.

Next to the burning stove, Zhang Cheng spoke first.

After Zhang Cheng said this, after the fight against Jiqing was over, Shu Anguo, who was ordered to follow Hua Yun to hunt down the reactionary landlord armed forces of the Yuan soldiers around Jiqing and recruit the people around Jiqing to join the rebel army, at this moment, from a furnace He stood up and said seriously:
"What Mr. Zhang said is that if this is the case, I want to criticize the flower tube hook!"

Shu Anguo replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

Zhang Cheng looked at Hua Yun as he spoke and slapped the table.

Snapped!
Then, Zhang Cheng asked Hua Yun seriously: "What are you doing? If you don't want others to criticize you, don't join the rebel army and become the king of the mountain. The king of the mountain doesn't want to be criticized. He just wants to be the king and hegemony by himself, and he is happy to do so." Qiu, whoever reveals his problem can be chopped to death on the spot, even if it is his wife, anyway, for the Mountain King, his rules are the rules."

"But our rebel army is not bandits in the mountains, but the king's master who wants to save the world!"

"That's not what I meant, Mr. Zhang."

"I just don't think he can criticize a scholar who can't hold a knife stably. He doesn't know how to fight!"

Hua Yun said with a smile and sat back angrily.

Zhang Cheng said: "He is not a bad scholar, he is a member of the rebel army, a missionary who went with you to the festival! As for whether his criticism is justified, you should listen to him before making your own statement. A man is not afraid of swords, guns or fire, so why should he be afraid of being said a few words?"

"Yes!"

"Let him say it!"

"Let him say it!"

Hua Yun leaned back and deliberately looked indifferent.

Shu Anguo said here: "In the process of chasing and suppressing the enemy troops in Jiqing, Hua Guangou did not cooperate at all with the missionary work given to me by Mr. Zhang. He only killed people!"

"Many Yuan Bing landlord Xiang Yong was clearly cornered and could have been persuaded to surrender, but he still chose to kill them!"

"He is obviously just seeking the pleasure in his heart, and he has not listened to my dissuasion at all. He has also forgotten that Mr. Zhang said that he should try his best not to kill people, but should do his best to develop people from all walks of life in the world and serve our rebel friends and even others. If you are willing to join our rebel army in the great cause of overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty, restoring China, and rescuing the people!" "What he does is not conducive to the gradual growth and expansion of the rebel army and himself in the future. It can be said that even the bandits Even worse, the bandits know that they kill people to steal money, so they still have rules, but Hua Guan Gou kills people just for his own pleasure!"

Hua Yun forced a grin after hearing this.

And this time.

Zhu Wenzheng also stood up and said: "I also want to criticize Uncle Hua. He really only wanted to enjoy himself during the pursuit. He rushed in so rashly that he was far away from other rebels such as our Shenji Battalion. He was very embarrassed like this." It is easy to be ambushed and even the entire army is annihilated."

"On the contrary, Uncle Mao didn't have this problem. During the pursuit, he kept in contact with our Shenji Battalion."

"Damn it! What do you know, you kid? How dare those Yuan soldiers set up an ambush for me halfway."

"I'm chasing them away, just like chasing a bunch of pigs. How can I be afraid of them setting up an ambush?"

Hua Yun said.

Zhu Wenzheng said: "That's because all the elite members of the Yuan army have been transferred away. But if you continue to be like this in the future and let all the cavalry officers under you have this style, I'm afraid you will suffer a big loss!"

"understood!"

"understood!"

Hua Yun said, "You are criticizing me no matter what. You don't criticize others, but they are all aimed at me, right?"

"Who is causing you the most problems right now?"

Zhang Cheng glanced at Hua Yun and said.

Hua Yun said nothing more.

Wang Guangyang said at this time: "I would like to talk about the problem of the Shenji Camp. A lot of Shenji Camp has been seized privately. However, the consensus reached by Mr. Hezhang and everyone on the seizures and return to the public has resulted in many Shenji Camps appearing in Walianlei City recently. Although all of the battalion officers and soldiers entrusted people to sell supplies privately, I still need to mention it, although all these people have been captured and dealt with."

"That's right, the Ma Jun under Hua Guan Gou and Mao Guan Gou are complaining behind their backs because of this, saying that all the benefits are given to the Shenji Battalion, isn't it because they are forced to rob the people."

Qi Xiang from the Arch Guard Department said.

Tang He said: "According to this, wouldn't it be more of a loss if my people didn't cross the river?"

Zhu Wenzheng blushed and said, "I didn't know that they knew it and were so short-sighted. When they entered Jiqing City and saw some prosperous and luxurious things, they became greedy."

"The issues you responded to are all timely and important, but in my opinion, the root cause of these problems is that although our rebel army has a clear and great goal, in terms of specific implementation, it still pays too much attention to military affairs and underestimates it. There is also a lack of unity of consciousness and training and command at all levels of the rebel army, and there is also a lack of chief officers responsible for ensuring that the consciousness and behavior of all levels of the rebel army are stable during combat."

"For example, Brother Huayun needs a chief officer whose prestige is not inferior to his, but who is ideologically superior to him and can control the behavioral goals of his officers and soldiers. This officer is not a simple supervisor of the army. Twist it into a rope."

"The Shenji Battalion also needs such a chief officer, otherwise the entire Shenji Battalion will gradually forget its original intention in war after war, and may even fall into confusion after a major defeat, or even be unaware of it. Jue Jian betrayed the people of the world and became the lackey of corrupt officials and evil gentry."

Zhang Cheng spoke to the fire what he really thought.

Zhu Wenzheng, Wang Guangyang and others listened carefully.

Tang He even took the initiative to ask at this time: "Mr. Zhang, does he mean that our rebel army at all levels must have a chief officer not only for the formation of troops, but also for target construction, so as to prevent the rebel army from being defeated in a war?" In the end, you don’t even know who you’re fighting for?”

"That's right!"

"But we are lacking such talents now. Everyone has not even figured out who they are fighting for, so how can they teach others to figure it out?"

"So, what I mean is that we must cultivate such talents quickly during the rest period. During this winter, if the Yuan soldiers are not coming, everyone must have a unified understanding and unite to the previously mentioned goal of reviving China, rescuing the people of the world, and serving the people of the world. Achieve a goal of great unity! Then, according to this goal, train the presidents of government schools and local governments at all levels, so that everyone in the rebel army reaches the same understanding, and then arrange training and training at all levels. official."

"thus!"

"I propose to establish the Datong Society and establish the Datong Society's social program and membership system. The first order that all 100 households in the rebel army and officials above the president will fulfill is to write an application to join the Datong Society!"

"Of course, everyone has the right to refuse, but in this case, I have the right to dismiss them and let them leave here. Even if they insist on resisting with force, I also have the right to directly suppress them with force."

"This is also a decision I made after discussing with my superiors. At present, the scale of the rebel army is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are joining the rebel army. It has come to a time when we must unify our understanding as soon as possible and strengthen the unity of internal organizations as soon as possible. The first thing to do is , the sharp blade of the rebel army must be held by organizations like Datong Society that represent the interests of China and the people, and cannot become a tool for corrupt officials, evil gentry or even individual ambitious and despicable people to bring harm to the world!"

After Zhang Cheng said this, everyone fell into deep thought.

Because Zhang Cheng's decision, even the decision made after reaching an agreement with Zhu Yuanzhang, really surprised and surprised them.

You know, these people followed Zhang Cheng. Although many of them did think that following Zhang Cheng could save the world, they never thought of setting up an organization to lead them on how to save the world. They originally thought that what Zhang Cheng asked them to do, That's what they did, and now suddenly a Datong Society will appear.

"Does this mean that we will listen to Datong Society in the future, not Mr. Zhang?"

"I think Mr. Zhang is Datong Society, and Datong Society is Mr. Zhang!"

"No, if it's that simple, there is no need for Mr. Zhang to do anything extra. Mr. Zhang should do this because he feels that although he cannot exist forever, Datong Society, which represents his will, can exist forever, just like although Sage Kong is no longer here, he still represents Sage Kong. The inheritors of learning are still here, and Mr. Zhang’s establishment of Datong Society should be to challenge the status of Confucian classics in the world!”

"Really? I'm just worried now that after joining this Datong Society, will it affect me to follow Mr. Zhang to seek wealth? To be honest, although I rebelled so as not to go hungry, Mr. Zhang later reminded us to think about the reasons for the rebellion. , I actually only thought of continuing the rebellion so that I could become a high official in the future, and be like those officials I saw before, being served and respected by others!"

"Yes, but Mr. Zhang said that these two do not conflict. People need to choose to serve the people from the perspective of themselves, in order to have the motivation to benefit the people of the world!"
