Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 127: The Gongwei Division is dispatched to capture Hu Yuan’s Minister of Punishment!
At present, the rebels under Zhang Cheng have indeed greatly improved their printing skills.

Therefore, Zhang Mian's guess was not wrong.

The most direct manifestation of the improvement in printing skills is that the rebels' ability to preach has improved a lot.

Zhang Cheng's people can carry out slogan bombing and theoretical bombing against local scholars and people in an area in a very short period of time.

Even if there are reactionary landlords and bureaucrats who want to quietly send people to tear down and buy newspapers without letting the people see it, it will be difficult to do so.

"Burn it quickly!"

"Burn it quickly!"

Zhang Mian saw that the content of "China News" was all about telling the people why the rebels wanted to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, and whether the anti-Yuan movement had anything to do with the people. After opening the public intelligence content, he hurriedly bought a lot of "China News" , and take them home for your family to burn in these newspapers.

But Zhang Mian found that the speed at which he was burning could not keep up with the output speed of "China News".

This made him feel discouraged.

A'lu also wanted to see Zhu Yuanzhang and persuade him not to do this, not to enlighten the people's wisdom, and let the people also participate in the great cause of fighting for the world. This would not be good for him to sit comfortably as an emperor in the future!
But what Alu didn't know was that the biggest difference between Zhu Yuanzhang and many emperors in history was that he was particularly willing to let the people participate in politics.

Alu spoke.

"What kind of missionary department should we set up? Are we rebelling for wealth, or are we really just going against the imperial court?"

"These thieves are not willing to instigate the common people to rebel against our Dayuan. Aren't they afraid that it will backfire on them in the future?!"

While Alu was cursing, he also felt a little worried.

"How abominable!"

After all, he was once the Minister of Punishment of the Yuan Dynasty.

"If it comes to that, isn't it just so that the living brothers don't have to risk their lives to earn a future by accepting the recruitment?!"

Guo Tianxu was a little sulky because Zhu Yuanzhang took him seriously, and said, "The Prime Minister will not really let the brothers die so that the people of the world can get rid of Hu Yuan's rule, right?"

But he also found that he couldn't stop it. In doing so, he spent a lot of money in vain, and the key point was that it was useless.

Alu really couldn't stand the people being enlightened and guided to understand the concepts of nation and country, so he still found Guo Tianxu and hoped that Guo Tianxu could influence Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Cheng dipped his pen in the ink and added: "Personally, I think that if we rebel, we will end up just being Tatar lackeys. Then our rebellion will undoubtedly be in vain, and our brothers who died will also die in vain!"

After hearing this, Zhang Cheng chuckled, continued to lower his head and write, and asked Guo Tianxu: "Isn't Pingzhang still thinking about being recruited by Hu Yuan one day in the future?"

But A'lu knew that Zhu Yuanzhang, the current leader of the Chuzhou bandit army, had spread his spies in the city. If he rashly sent someone out to report the news to the court, he would probably get himself into trouble.

"Whoever accepts the recruitment and becomes a traitor to the rebels and the common people will be Zhu Yuanzhang's mortal enemy, and we will never let this person go!"

Li Mengeng is no exception.

Zhang Cheng raised his head and glanced at him and said: "This is what I asked the Propaganda Department to do. The Prime Minister has made it clear that Zhongshu Province will set up a Propaganda Department and I will be in charge of it. It will be mainly responsible for preaching the concept of our rebel uprising to the people and mobilizing the people to support the rebels." , and avoid being deceived by the reactionary Hu Yuan lackeys into opposing our rebel army."

Alu even felt that Zhu Yuanzhang might have started sending people to keep an eye on him.

He now wants to send someone to inform the imperial court of this situation, so that the imperial court can quickly encircle and suppress this place.

"Mr. Zhang, don't speak so harshly!"

but.

Alu also knew that he was no longer suitable to meet Zhu Yuanzhang because he had already fallen under Guo Tianxu's care.

"It's not really that I want to be recruited, but I have to leave a way out!"

of course.

"If we really let the common people participate in politics, wouldn't we also let the common people participate in dividing the interests of the world?!"

Guo Tianxu sat on a chair on the side and spoke kind words to Zhang Cheng.

Guo Tianxu said.

After seeing the large number of anti-Yuan slogans and cartoons blooming all over the city like a prosperous spring day, he couldn't help but turn pale and cursed:

Guo Tianxu then sneered and said:
"But then again, the people are the same whether under the rule of Hu Yuan or Zhao and Song. In peacetime, they live like cattle and horses, but in troubled times, they live not as well as cattle and horses. Therefore, what the people need is Taiping does not need to overthrow Hu Yuan!"

After hearing this, Guo Tianxu said: "You are right. Now that we see so many slogans in the city and so many people organized to shout for the restoration of China, we are also a little afraid. We are afraid that the imperial court will be anxious and wish that I, the Guo Family Rebel Army, have to be left alone!"

Although Li Menggeng did not dare to offend Zhu Yuanzhang anymore and did not follow Zhang Mian and other landlords and bureaucrats to discuss how to drive a wedge between Zhu Yuanzhang and Guo Tianxu, he bought a lot of them after seeing a large number of "China News" appearing, not wanting to disappoint the people. see these contents.

"This will make the imperial court feel that the Chuzhou Guo Family Rebel Army is the most evil and stubborn bandit army. Therefore, the imperial court may want to wipe out the Guo Family Rebel Army at all costs."

"It is precisely because of this that we must overthrow Hu Yuan and rebuild a new country that allows people to live more like human beings."

And Alu.

In this case, he can also prevent the situation of instigating the common people to fight against the Yuan Dynasty by influencing Guo Tianxu.

As he spoke, Guo Tianxu came to Zhongshu Province, found Zhang Cheng who was writing, and said: "Mr. Zhang, we would like to ask what happened to the sudden increase of many slogans and pictures, and this "China News"? "

"I know the Prime Minister loves the people."

After Guo Tianxu heard what Zhang Cheng said, he asked Zhang Cheng in return and put his hands on his hips.

Alu now just hates that Guo Tianxu is not the leader of this bandit army.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly came over and said something to Guo Tianxu in a sharp tone.

"Sir, there are too many slogans calling for the expulsion of the Tartars in Chuzhou City right now, and there are also too many words that denounce the current Yuan Lord for his treachery. Such words are not conducive to recruiting peace!"

"My superiors and I are indeed not just trying to rebel against Hu Yuan for our own sake."

"On the contrary, Pingzhang, you still think that we rebelled against Hu Yuan for our own sake."

Zhang Cheng then put down his writing and stood up to talk to Guo Tianxu, and said:
"in addition!"

"There's no need for Pingzhang. I say it here because I don't want my brothers to risk their lives in vain to overthrow Hu Yuan when they can gain wealth by accepting Hu Yuan's recruitment. It's better to admit it directly. I am afraid that I will still be eliminated by the Prime Minister and I in the future, so I want to attract external forces to check and balance us."

Guo Tianxu pursed his lips in silence.

"But Pingzhang really thinks that if Hu Yuanzhen is willing to recruit us, with your status as Mr. Guo, you won't be afraid of Hu Yuanzhen?"

"Presumably, Pingzhang also knows where Hu Yuan came from. He even guards against Han officials who are loyal to Hu Yuan!"

"For example, Prime Minister Hu Yuan Tuotuo once reported to the inner court. When he turned around and saw Han Yuanshan, Zhongshu Zuocheng, and Han Yong, Zhongshu's political advisor, coming next, he immediately ordered the gatekeeper to prevent them from entering, and then let them go. "

"At the same time, he also wrote to Tuo Huan Tie Mu'er, saying: "Now that the Han people in Henan are rebelling, they should be posted on the list to show the world, and they should be ordered to arrest them all. All Mongolian and Semu people who have been banished to other places for some reason shall be recalled to the capital without causing any further delay. "

"Hu Yuan is so afraid of Han officials who are loyal to him. What's more, Pingzhang is the son of a rebel in Hu Yuan's eyes!"

"Does Pingzhang really think that after accepting the recruitment, Hu Yuan will let you take charge of the army alone, let you live in peace, and not worry about you rebelling again, becoming the second Zhu Wen, and not reducing your military power?"

"If Pingzhang really wants to save his life and wealth, it is better to believe in the prime minister than to believe in Hu Yuan!" "After all, he has inherited the kindness of your father to be where he is today, and he is your adopted son and adopted son. If he gets rid of you, he will even ostracize you. You, you have to worry about the impact no matter what, not only the face of the living, but also the face of the dead."

"Of course, if Pingzhang really wants to save his life and wealth, he shouldn't think about relying on anyone. It's better to rely on yourself. As long as you Pingzhang has great merits and virtues in the world, only if others ask you to save your life and wealth, you won't You need to ask others to keep you rich and safe."

Zhang Cheng continued to ask Guo Tianxu and expressed his own views.

After Guo Tianxu heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, and immediately denied it openly and said:
"Who said we must accept Hu Yuan's recruitment? I just mentioned it. In fact, I don't advocate recruitment. It's just that some people below are mentioning it. In addition, Mr. Zhang, you mentioned it, so I said Bring this up!"

Zhang Cheng just smiled lightly: "It's best if Pingzhang doesn't have such thoughts! Don't be deceived by some people with ulterior motives. They want you to be recruited. Essentially, they want you to be recruited for their own sake. They can use your merits to return to the court. As for what happens to you after you're recruited, that's not what they care about."

Guo Tianxu nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down on the side and said: "It must be the idea of ​​Hu Yuan's Minister of Punishment!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said and looked at Guo Tianxu: "We are looking for you. When does Pingzhang plan to hand over Hu Yuan's demoted Alu?"

"Why hand it over?"

"He is the one I captured!"

Guo Tianxu said.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you still want to be bewitched by him?!"

Guo Tianxu said: "That's not what I meant."

"This Alu must be handed over!"

"He is a Hu Yuan bureaucrat captured by our rebel army. He needs to undergo a public trial by the Xingzhongshu Province to determine whether he should be punished and whether he has major ideological problems, and whether he should be reformed or appointed. He must not be treated like personal belongings. If you stay alone, you may harm yourself and break the rules."

"Since we have the Xing Zhong Shu Sheng, all action orders must be obeyed by the Xing Zhong Shu Sheng. Otherwise, the rebel army will be in disarray, and you, Ping Zhang, will also be a Ping Zhang in name only."

Zhang Cheng followed up.

After hearing this, Guo Tianxu said: "I'll hand it over!"

"Well, we should let the people from the Arch Guard Department go get him immediately. Strictly speaking, he Alu is currently a criminal suspect and should be dealt with by the Arch Guard Department."

Zhang Cheng said.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "That's what Mr. Zhang said."

then.

Zhang Cheng asked Song Lian, the scholar who was in charge of the secret writing of the book, to write the order for the Secretary to take the person. He also asked Guo Tianxu to countersign his signature according to the regulations, and also asked Zhu Yuanzhang to approve it, and then issued it. Archguard Division.

Qi Xiang from the Arch Guard Department immediately brought Bing Yong to Guo Tianxu's residence.

"What are you doing?!"

The private soldiers guarding Guo Tianxu's residence became alert on the spot, and the leader of the town, Hu Quan, even asked Qi Xiang directly.

Qi Xiang took out the Jun Order from the Xingzhongshu Province and said, "I have been ordered to take Alu, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of Hu Yuan, who is hiding here!"

"What bullshit orders? I only listen to our young master!"

Hu Quan spat directly and replied cursingly.

Qi Xiang smiled slightly: "It just so happens that your son's signature is on this order. Do you want to listen or not?"

Hu Quan couldn't help but take a serious look at Jun Ling, and for a moment he fell into a state of surprise.

Seeing this, Qi Xiang continued to ask: "What, are you really planning to be a guard dog for that dog officer of Hu Yuan?"

"Don't say so harshly!"

"Just the young master's handwriting is not enough. We need to see the young master tell us with our own eyes that you can go in and get the person. Otherwise, we can only think that you have detained our young master and forced him to sign such an order!"

Hu Quan replied.

Qi Xiang said: "You should be cautious."

"Hu Quan!"

"Get out of their way!"

At this time, Guo Tianxu came over in person.

Because Zhang Cheng was also worried that Guo Tianxu's people would not recognize Jun Ling but only Guo Tianxu, he asked Guo Tianxu to come in person.

no way.

The current rebel army is not yet completely unified from top to bottom, and each department basically still operates independently. Even if there is a unified leadership organization, it will only be united from above, and it will take time to fully integrate the top and bottom into a system of orders and prohibitions.

Guo Tianxu also knew that without administrative authority, it would be of no benefit to him.

Therefore, Guo Tianxu came over in person and scolded Hu Quan.

Upon seeing this, Hu Quan honestly stepped aside and let Qi Xiang in.

Qi Xiang and other people from the Gongwei Division immediately broke in.

When the people from the Gongwei Department arrived, Alu was writing a poem expressing his loyalty to Dayuan.

When he saw the people from the Guards Department coming, he was so frightened that he lost all his courage. He quickly stood up and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Take it!"

Qi Xiang shouted loudly.

Alu was detained on the spot by the people from the Guards Department and dragged out.

But before long, Alu guessed that he might have been noticed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Guo Tianxu must have been convinced by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he asked someone to come and take him.

And he is certain to die.

"Ever since they joined forces to establish the Xingzhongshu Province, I should have guessed that one day, with Zhang Cheng here, it would be difficult for the Chuzhou bandit army to start civil strife. It would only make it difficult for those of us who are loyal to the imperial court. succeed!"

Therefore, Alu started to curse.

But after Alu was escorted out, when he saw Guo Tianxu at the door, he still shouted loudly: "Sir! Are you willing not to have sole power and to act based on other people's faces?!"

"Young master, no matter what, I am yours. If you let them take me away, wouldn't it chill the hearts of those who are loyal to you? A Pingzhang from Xingzhongshu Province who is not recognized by the court bought you. ?!"

"Even if you don't want to be emperor, there is no need to be a rebel minister of Zhu Yuanzhang!"

"Why should a man be so submissive to the hearts of the people, and why should he work with a commoner? Young Master!"
