Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 123: The Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is set up to secretly report the conspiracy to kill Guo Zixing!
After Zhang Cheng asked this question, for a moment, there was silence in the lobby, except for the sound of Ma sobbing while holding the little girl of the Guo family.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up first and said:

"Mr. Zhang's words are very good. All ministries should use tactics to avoid fighting for fame and position."

Guo Tianxu glanced at Zhang Tianyou at this time.

After Zhang Tianyou pondered for a while, he took the initiative to stand up and said: "Mr. Zhang's idea is indeed better. The leader is decided by Tou Dou. I believe this will make the brothers more convinced."

"A decision made by tossing beans can avoid fighting. I have no objection."

Guo Tianxu responded accordingly and sighed.

Next, all the generals also agreed. Those who disagreed had to agree because their commander wanted to do this.

This is mainly because of the gap in strength between them. Once Zhu Yuanzhang supports Zhang Cheng, others will no longer have the capital to resist Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Cheng.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to support Zhang Cheng in voting was not only because he and Zhang Cheng had the same ideas, but also because it was in his best interest.

Zhang Tianyou, Shao Rong, Li Shanchang, and Feng Guoyong all had no votes.

This is the end.

There is no shortage of craftsmen in Chuzhou, and there is no shortage of time to make these, so the corresponding wooden boxes were quickly made.

Zhang Cheng also nodded and said, "You guys are on to the point!"

Let’s talk.

Xu Da replied.

Zhang Cheng corrected him: "Not the emperor, but the human emperor!"

Simultaneously.

After all, Feng Guoyong and Li Shanchang supported him.

Xu Da nodded: "Yes, I made a mistake just now."

"Presumably, this Mr. Zhang has some extraordinary qualities that cannot be told, so he trusts him very much, and believes that this Mr. Zhang can guarantee the future of the Guo family better than you, Mr. Master!"

Zhang Cheng got two votes.

"So, as a member of Datong Society, you must listen to what Datong Society says and what Xing Zhongshu Sheng says."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative and said to Zhang Cheng and others: "After discussions between me and Mr. Zhang, our two rebel armies have long decided to be under the unified command of the Datong Society. For this purpose, the Datong Society's Political Council and Political Officers were also established, and the members of the Datong Society held political meetings. The political officer was elected. Now Mr. Zhang and I are the political officer. We originally planned to develop my father to be a member and political officer of Datong Society, but now that he is gone, this plan has to be abandoned. But now an industry has been established. Zhongshu Sheng, so, those of us from the Datong Society, do we listen to the Political Council or the Datong Society?"

"If there is a conflict between the orders between the two, it means that the Ministry of Education is no longer under the leadership of the Datong Society, so it will choose to listen to the Datong Society and form a new center!"

……

"Does he still resent us for not obeying his orders to return to Chuzhou and give up the military power of Sizhou and Qinghe to my third brother?!"

Xu Da nodded and said.

When Zhang Cheng, Zhu Yuanzhang and other members of the Datong Society were discussing matters together, Guo Tianxu, Zhang Tianyou, and Alu were also discussing matters together.

"What on earth did my commander-in-chief think? He actually ordered all matters to be listened to Zhang Cheng's words before his death."

According to the rules, seven identical small wooden boxes with holes the size of a copper coin must be prepared and placed in a dark room. Each wooden box has a person's name engraved on it. When the time comes, everyone will enter in the order they were drawn by lot. Toss beans.

Alu said from the side: "Don't be upset, young master. This only shows that your sworn brother and sister-in-law Zhu Yuanzhang is not a simple person. It should be that he secretly influenced your father, so that he was bewitched by him before his death, and he hated you even more." Two parents and children, that's why I put you together like this. I'm afraid your father might suspect that his serious illness is related to you, so I just let Mr. Zhang handle the yin and yang."

Guo Tianxu got two votes.

"Yes, we need to understand this clearly."

"Because our Datong Society did not choose the theory of destiny. Even if we want to establish an emperor, the outstanding head of state jointly elected by the members of the Datong Society who represent the people of the world will be the emperor of the world, instead of being appointed by God. That is, the emperor is appointed by the people, not by the people. Divine right, and even hereditary power, are also given by the people. Only in this way can we seek truth from facts and be in line with objective facts. Otherwise, we have to admit the destiny of heaven, and we have to deceive and fool ourselves."

As for himself, after changing into plain clothes, he gathered with Zhang Cheng, Zhu Wenzheng, Xu Da and other members of the Datong Society in Chuzhou and held a brief meeting.

Zhang Cheng said this and Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

The Guo Buyi Army re-established a new leadership organization after the death of Guo Zixing-Xing Zhongshu Province.

Xing Zhongshu’s first priority right now is to handle Guo Zixing’s funeral.

In order to balance the internal contradictions, at Zhang Cheng's suggestion, Zhu Yuanzhang also appointed Zhang Tianyou and Li Shanchang as Zhongshu Zuocheng and Zhongshu Youcheng respectively, while Shao Rong and Feng Guoyong were assigned to the left and right to participate in politics, and changed to the left. To respect.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally decided to let Li Shanchang be mainly responsible for this matter.

Because Li Shan has had experience in this area for a long time, he also has enough experience in rituals, and he is also familiar with the Yin and Yang gentlemen in the local Chuzhou area.

"As a result, Zhang Cheng used this method to let Zhu Yuanzhang take power!"

Zhu Yuanzhang became the Prime Minister of Xingzhongshu Province, while Zhang Cheng and Guo Tianxu were appointed Pingzhang respectively.

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang got three votes.

"We also understand. In other words, if we really win the world in the future, the Secretary of the Datong Society Political Council and the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province will be the emperor?"

Guo Tianxu spoke angrily first.

Zhang Cheng looked at these people and said: "In my opinion, the current Xingzhongshu Province is a temporary joint government office, that is, a ruling office formed by joining the rebel brothers who are not from the Datong Society. This is something that cannot be done before the Datong Society is completely strengthened." At the same time, the Xingzhongshu Province is also the center of governance led by the Datong Society and mobilizing the people of the world to realize the ideal of Datong."

Alu frowned and said, "It's just that I don't understand why he trusts Mr. Zhang so much?"

So, next, Zhang Cheng and six other people finalized the specific rules for betting on red beans.

in the meeting.

Guo Tianxu complained: "My late father has always been like this. He was jealous at home and generous at home, very trusting of outsiders, and very wary of his nephew. That Zhu Yuanzhang was clearly a traitor and a loyal person, but he always trusted him very much. When he went to Chuzhou Even after he became an adult, he still showed kindness to him. Before that, he threatened to behead anyone who dared to suggest killing Zhu Yuanzhang, even his nephew. Although the son should not blame his father, his father did have such a problem. .”

Guo Tianxu also looked at Zhang Tianyou for this reason: "My uncle must also be deeply aware of this."

"I don't know whether Yuan Zhang is a treacherous person but a loyal person, but this is my brother-in-law."

Zhang Tianyou sighed after saying this, and then drank a cup of tea without saying anything else.

"That's fine!"

"It's too late to say that now."

Alu sighed, then looked at Guo Tianxu and said: "Young Master, our current strength is not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Cheng, Li Shanchang, and Feng Guoyong. Now with your father's death, we are probably as strong as Shao Rong and Shao Rong." I am afraid that old friends like Guo Tianlu will turn to listen to Zhang Cheng and recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as the commander-in-chief of the entire army!"

"So, we are already the flesh of the fish, and they are the slaves."

"Now, we are lucky that they have not united and directly suppressed us, but this is also because they have to temporarily tolerate our existence based on the current situation. They also let the young master and uncle be the decision-making center, but they cannot guarantee that when the time is right in the future, They will not exclude dissidents from us, just like how North Korea and China are expelling one party." "Then what should we do?"

Guo Tianxu asked Alu with a worried look.

Alu said: "We should invite foreign aid."

"foreign aid?"

Zhang Tianyou also took the initiative to ask.

"That's right!"

Alu replied, looked at Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou and said:
"Young master, uncle, you should understand that now they do not exclude us, but also unite us to make decisions together. It is not because they really look at Marshal Guo's face and want to remember an old relationship, so they only unite and not annex. It is because At the moment, compared to the imperial court and other rebels, they are not strong enough to fight first and be able to bear the loss!"

"So, at this time, the young master and uncle need to invite outside forces to involve other forces. In this way, other forces will inevitably be willing to support the young master and uncle because the young master is in a weak position, so as to check and balance Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yuanzhang. The purpose of Zhang Cheng and other forces!"

Aru replied.

Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou nodded.

at the same time.

Guo Tianxu said: "Currently, Du Zundao and other rebels from King Xiao Ming's tribe are quite powerful. We can send envoys to contact them and express our willingness to serve King Xiao Ming as the leader."

Zhang Tianyou nodded: "This is a way."

Aluze said speechlessly: "There is still a way to wait for recruitment! To be honest, there are more and more voices within the Yuan Dynasty advocating recruitment as the mainstay. Especially now that many encirclement and suppression campaigns have been ineffective, many ministers in the DPRK hope to use The chaos in the world will be resolved by conferring official titles and titles."

"Recruitment?"

Guo Tianxu couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Tianyou also asked: "Is it really possible?"

Alu smiled and said: "Young master and uncle, don't really think that the bureaucrats and dignitaries in the DPRK are really that stubborn. As long as they find that annihilating the rebels will really hurt their wealth and interests, they will choose to rather let them rebel before they do it." The common people have to work harder and have to raise more bureaucrats and powerful people to recruit you, and they will no longer be determined to destroy you at all costs. In fact, in their eyes, the morality and ethics of saints are It’s not that important! What’s more, our ruling Han Chinese Mongolian people are still Mongolian people. They don’t care about making the Han people work harder and starving tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands more obedient Han people to death. They still care so much about the so-called moral principles of saints.”

"Too!"

Guo Tianxu nodded.

Zhang Tianyou also followed up and said: "It is time to get in touch with the imperial court."

Alu Ze then smiled with satisfaction and said, "Young master and uncle are good at doing good things, and they will definitely be noble in the future!"

Therefore, Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou decided to send people to contact the Longfeng regime and Yuan Ting.

While Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou were discussing matters, Zhang Mian also had a secret meeting with Song Chaoyong and others.

"I never expected that Guo Zixing would choose to leave a suicide note to Zhang Cheng."

"It's a pity that Mr. Zhang did not directly instigate Zhu Yuanzhang and others to use swords and guns to eliminate dissidents."

"If Guo Zixing were to pass directly to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang, a man obsessed with power, could be instigated to go on a killing spree to eliminate dissidents!"

Zhang Mian spoke first.

Song Chaoyong said: "Yes!"

"However, Zhu Yuanzhang has great ambitions, so when he was supervising the affairs of Chuzhou, he made me and other brothers unable to do anything. He said he wanted the brothers to be rich together, but in fact he only wanted to make his family rich."

"They say they want all the people to be rich, but in fact they are just deceiving the people of the world!"

"So, he is now the leader of the entire army. No matter what, he will eradicate dissidents and slowly remove all thorns for his own path to emperor!"

Zhang Mian smiled and said: "That's right, that's why I asked you to choose to support him openly today. It will make him feel that you are one of his own. In this way, in the future, even if he really succeeds, he will protect your wealth."

"It's no use!"

"For a traitorous person like Zhu Yuanzhang who seems to be loyal, the difference between not being a lackey in his name and being a lackey in his name is just the difference between dying early and dying later."

Song Chao smiled and directly denied Zhang Mian's statement.

Zhang Mian nodded, then looked seriously at Song Chaoyong and said: "You are right, we should still hope to be recruited or taken in by other rebels, so that we can be used by the people in power of the imperial court and other rebels as new pawns to eliminate dissidents. !”

"Just like this, Zhu Yuanzhang cannot be allowed to succeed!"

"First of all, Zhu Yuanzhang must be instigated to take action against Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou as soon as possible. Don't really let him. Zhu Yuanzhang used various means to disintegrate the power of Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou, so that even if there is an internal conflict, there will be no lose-lose results."

"Secondly, try to get Zhu Yuanzhang to accept the recruitment, or let him recognize the more powerful rebel army as the leader, in the name of the rebel army currently needing to hide its capabilities and bide its time!"

"In this case, we can find an opportunity for the imperial court or other rebels to support Guo Tianxu and Zhang Tianyou to check and balance Zhu Yuanzhang. In this way, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is successfully recruited or chooses to join other rebels, he will have to be more tolerant in order to preserve his own strength. Bros."

After Zhang Mian continued, Song Chaoyong smiled coldly and said: "You should do what you said! It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang came from a poor background, and he is mean and unkind in his bones, so I'm afraid he will have to tolerate his brothers in the end. For that.”

"Then we will find an opportunity to sell him at a good price when the time comes!"

Zhang Mian said.

Song Chao nodded solemnly.

Let’s talk.

After Zhu Yuanzhang had a meeting with Zhang Cheng in the Datong Society, Zhang Cheng came to him and said: "Your Majesty, there have been secret reports from the Gongwei Division that Song Chaoyong, Xue Youliang and other old generals of the Guo family have frequently been in and out of Fireworks Willow Alley recently. You are spending money like water, so you have to check it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Zhang Cheng said and understood what Zhang Cheng meant. He called Xu Da over and asked, "Go and check immediately to see if there is any new news from the inspection schools recently."

Xu Da said yes.

At the third watch in the middle of the night, Xu Da came to Zhu Yuanzhang on Dai Yue and said: "Your Majesty, there is indeed news."

"what news?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Xu Dadao: "Xue Zhenfu and Dr. Xu of the Guo Mansion had a conspiracy to assassinate Marshal Guo! Since we were not in Chuzhou, we didn't have time to report it to the inspection school. And by the time we came to Chuzhou, Marshal Guo was already dead."

"what?!"

"The foster father was killed?"

Ma, who was in the back room, couldn't help but exclaimed.
