Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 88 Enlighten the Huaixi generals around Zhu Yuanzhang

"Mr. Zhang!"

"Mr. Zhang!"

"Mr. Zhang!"

……

Inside Chuzhou City.

Outside Zhizhou Yamen, there were bursts of shouts.

In the inner room, Zhang Cheng, who was Linhao writing, could hear these shouts.

And because of this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

This is because Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden departure has made Zhu Yuanzhang's direct officials in Chuzhou City even more confused, like ants on a hot pot.

Therefore, they can only come to Zhang Cheng again to discuss a solution with Zhang Cheng.

And Zhang Cheng also had to admit that most of Zhu Yuanzhang's direct line officers and generals still need to improve their cognition and awareness. They must be improved to the point where they cannot become agitated just because of a slight change, nor can they become agitated after a little mastery. Zhenzi Quan, after working as an official for a while, became panicked because of the sudden change.

of course.

Zhang Cheng doesn't despise them, he understands these people very well.

Because in Zhang Cheng's view, most people will feel anxious and uneasy when encountering changes. Especially when meeting a person like Zhu Yuanzhang who does not follow common sense and becomes his own leader, it will only make people more confused and helpless. measures.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng did not laugh at them in his heart because of this, but just lamented that the time he came to this world was still too short, leaving him no time to do more ideological work before Guo Zixing arrived. In such a short period of time, he only had time Redefining the goals of the rebellion for Zhu Yuanzhang and institutionalizing the rebel army only spread part of the knowledge to some people.

soon.

Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Feng Guoyong, Hua Yun, Tang He, Wang Guangyang and other direct relatives of Zhu Yuanzhang all walked in and met Zhang Cheng.

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they saw that Zhang Cheng was still sitting quietly in the inner room, writing on the spot.

Wang Guangyang even sighed secretly and thought to himself: "Mr. Zhang is still calm in the face of important events. Even if he joined the rebel army himself, he would be worried because he was unclear about the situation and had no intention of supervising the production."

After Wang Guangyang thought this, he bowed to Zhang Cheng, then silently turned around and went to the workshop.

But Li Shanchang and others did not leave.

Hua Yun stepped forward first: "Mr. Zhang, you guessed it right, he really disappeared! Maybe he really went to pick up the man named Guo."

"Yes, we searched all over Chuzhou City, including brothels."

"I just didn't get the upper hand."

"In addition to the superiors, Zhang Tianyou and Zhao Jizu have also disappeared. They are probably going to pick up the man named Guo."

Tang He followed and said.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"This shows that your superior is indeed a good man who values ​​love and justice."

"You should feel more at ease when you follow such a high-ranking person to conquer the country, right?"

Zhang Cheng spoke with a smile, and as he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at Hua Yun and others.

"That's what I said."

"But how could he go out on his own without telling us!"

Hua Yun complained.

Tang He even asked Zhang Cheng directly: "Mr. Zhang, do you think this means that we will really be controlled by Marshal Guo in the future?"

"Yes, you are the governor, and you are the one who guessed that the superior was leaving, so you can give us an idea."

"what should we do?"

At this time, Lawrence Lu also stepped forward and asked.

Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "I still suggest that, fight him out!"

After hearing this, everyone did not answer.

“The superior has the choice of superior.”

"I have my choice."

"You also have your choice."

"You don't have to wait for others to make decisions about everything."

"You should learn from your superiors and only follow your own heart when doing things. Once you decide something, you will do it even if you know that many people around you will not agree!"

"You should have this determination."

"When you are in power, you must be upright men, take the overall situation into consideration, and give up power and profits to repay the great kindness. That's why we gave Chuzhou to Marshal Guo."

"Whether you are willing to follow such a man or not, the decision is up to you."

"So, when you go back, you can think about it carefully and don't ask me. Besides, you are not willing to accept my idea."

Zhang Cheng spoke.

Tang He said: "If Mr. Zhang wants to fight him out, this is a way! It's just that we have concerns and are even a little dissatisfied!"

"What we are worried about is, if we really go out, what will happen to the superiors?"

"What I am dissatisfied with is, why are we the ones giving up Chuzhou City?!" "That's right!"

"Why us!"

Hua Yun and others also started talking.

"You have to ask your superiors about this."

"He is the general manager of Chuzhou City. If he gives in without complaining, what can you do to him?"

Zhang Cheng replied with a smile.

After hearing this, Hua Yun was speechless again.

Zhang Chengze added: "I know that you are not only worried about what to do if you get the upper hand. You must also be worried about whether your power will be affected by the arrival of Marshal Guo. There are so many high-ranking officials higher than you, such as being in charge of ten thousand households." Will it be restricted? Will the power to collect taxes and manage food be taken away? In short, will all the dirty work and hard work become your own, and the promotion and wealth will belong to Guo Jia's people."

"Mr. Zhang is really straightforward!"

"You're right."

"We are also concerned about these."

"Don't you have any concerns?"

"For example, when someone named Guo comes, will you be the governor of Chuzhou?"

"And you are really willing to hand over your position as governor?"

Because Zhang Cheng said it so straightforwardly, Feng Guoyong couldn't help but step forward and ask about Zhang Cheng.

"I have no concerns."

Zhang Cheng replied with a smile.

Feng Guoyong, Tang He and others all looked shocked and looked at each other.

Zhang Cheng said: "Because the purpose of accepting your superior's invitation to join us in the uprising was not for this magistrate."

"What is that Mr. Zhang doing?"

Xu Da also couldn't help but interjected at this moment and asked.

"The first is to seek wealth and honor."

"The second is to ask this world to make you like it more. Specifically, it is to make the people of the world live better."

Zhang Cheng replied frankly.

Hua Yun also laughed at this time: "Mr. Zhang is really refreshing!"

"You should also think about why you are rebelling."

"Is it for wealth, or for the people of the world to live a better life, or both."

"After you have thought about it, you can think about it based on your own purpose. Because of your purpose, who should you regard as your biggest enemy now, and what should you do? Should you be here, worrying about the gains and losses in Chuzhou City, or should you do everything you can? Eliminate the enemies most harmful to your own goals first if possible."

When Zhang Cheng said this, he tapped his temple with his index finger and said in a solemn tone:
  "We have to think of our own!"

"Although, brothers, many of them followed their superiors to rebel because they did not want to starve to death."

“But now, since we will no longer starve to death, it’s time to think about the purpose of continuing the rebellion.”

"After all, in the future you may still be faced with the choice of accepting Hu Yuan's call for peace or not. You will also face the choice of whether to die in battle or surrender when encountering a powerful enemy. You will also face the choice of whether to ride on the heads of the people. The choice between being ridden on the head of others, or riding on everyone’s head.”

"We will face many choices in the future, and now we have to learn to think about how to choose. We can't just talk about brotherhood and fighting. The superior has already started thinking about how to choose, so he made a decision that surprised you all. .”

Zhang Cheng's words made Xu Da, Hua Yun and others think attentively.

Li Shanchang, Feng Guoyong and other civil servants and staff could not help but be eager to try.

Not long after, Feng Guoyong stood up first and said: "The purpose of our uprising is naturally to bring order to the world and help the superior to become the emperor, because the superior is the one who has the destiny!"

"This is just a family saying used by your Feng Guo."

"The superior himself has not fully agreed, so he may have chosen to give up Chuzhou and give up power to Marshal Guo."

Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

"That's right, the superior doesn't even want to be the emperor yet, but we ourselves said that we want him to be the emperor. It's useless!"

"I'm afraid it will harm the superiors!"

Hua Yun couldn't help but say a few more words, and couldn't help but look at Feng Guoyong and said:
  "You are a very bad person. You are trying to make everyone think that the one who is in charge is the right one. This makes the brothers become more and more ambitious. You will become a hero in the future, but the brothers are only afraid of losing a lot of blood."

"I!"

Just as Feng Guoyong was about to say something, Zhang Cheng stopped Feng Guoyong and said:

"You all go back and think about it first. Why are you rebelling?"

"If the superior really went out to see Marshal Guo and decided to give up Chuzhou City and hand over military power, you should not complain about the superior, complain that he did not tell you or discuss with you. He is only your superior, not your father, so there is no It’s my duty to teach you what to do!”

"Don't rashly decide to go out with me and continue to fight. After all, you need to ask yourself whether the purpose of your rebellion is the same as mine. If it is not the same, there is no need to go out together. If it is the same, you must also consider it. Let’s talk about the friendship between you and your superiors. Is it worth putting aside this friendship for the time being and fulfilling your own ideals first?”

“Don’t be hasty about many things, make a decision before taking action!”

"If you are really not sure, you can go out and have a look, see the people in the streets, your soldiers, the city walls and the mountains and rivers."

"Confusion will always exist, but how to get out depends on yourself."
