First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Yu Tonghai is in his thirties this year, with dark skin, thick joints, and a light mist on his cheeks. At first glance, he has lived in the water for a long time.

Liao Yongzhong was the opposite of Yu Tonghai. He was very fair and handsome, and he was quite white in the waves.

In other words, a "Li Kui" and a "Zhang Shun" came to take refuge.

Zhang Ximeng smiled and met them, and after getting to know them, he was offered tea.

Zhang Ximeng looked at the two people and suddenly smiled: "Leader Yu, have you read the book?"

When he said this, Yu Tonghai was stunned.

I am a water thief leader, do you ask me if I study? I'm here for help, isn't I here for the top pick?

However, Yu Tonghai has really read the book, "If you go back to the experience, the villain will follow his father and can recognize a few words."

Zhang Ximeng smiled and nodded, "Then do you know Zhongxiang?"

Yu Tonghai was startled, and said: "It seems to have heard that this person is a giant in the Song Dynasty, and he is very powerful for occupying Dongting Lake!"

"No!" Zhang Ximeng shook his head, "Zhong Xiang has also read books, and he knows some truths. He advocates mutual assistance among the people in the countryside, and each family pays some money and food. After joining the society, they help each other to tide over the difficulties together. He also has a set of propositions, saying, "The law divides the rich and the poor, and it is not good law. I practice the law, and wait for the rich and the poor to be rich and poor." It can be seen that Zhong Xiang is no longer an ordinary bandit and bandit. He advocates equalizing the poor. Rich, waiting for high and low, this is a great idea, it is very structured!"

As expected, Yu Tonghai had read the book, and he was also very clear about the deeds of Zhong Xiang, his colleague. Seeing Zhang Ximeng commented this way, he felt a heartfelt joy, and he felt good about Zhang Ximeng. It must be possible to comment on Zhong Xiang like this. It's not bad for us, right?

Thinking of this, Yu Tonghai followed Zhang Ximeng’s words: “Experienced opinions. In terms of speaking, although we are thieves, but we can live on, who would be willing to be thieves, watching Xiao Gathering party, sharing a large amount of money, and eating a big bowl. Meat is very pleasant, but it is hard and painful, only we know it. We are just taking a group of poor folks, struggling to survive."

Zhang Ximeng nodded, "Actually, who is not trying to survive? I must have heard of the situation of my father-in-law. If you can survive, who is willing to die? It is not forced by this world, but you can only bite the bullet and go forward. ."

When Yu Tonghai heard this, he felt more cordial. It is strange to say that a bandit leader should pay more attention to practical benefits, and he is willing to take refuge in what he can give him and what benefits he can get.

But the situation is just the opposite. Yu Tonghai is particularly willing to listen to Zhang Ximeng talking about these things... After all, the more he lacks, the more he cares about it. Just like Song Jiang, who has fallen in the grass, he thinks that he is not rebelling and fighting the country. His biggest wish is to accept. Zhaoan.

Before he went up the mountain, he was a small official who was an incompetent official, but after Zhao'an, he can put on a crimson robe and become a court official who once needed to look up. At that moment, Song Jiang was extremely happy and reached the pinnacle of life. , It's worth the death.

Zhang Ximengye thought about it carefully, and he felt that what people like Yu Tonghai wanted most was to get rid of the thief's skin and be respected. This should be more important than any actual interests.

If Monk Peng had this mindset at the beginning, he received them all and gave them a common word, the navy master of Chaohu might have been over for a long time.

Of course, there are also problems here. If Monk Peng did this, maybe her early apprentices would not be willing.

Therefore, the organizational form of the Peng Party is fundamentally backward. Worse, the failure of Peng has already planted the roots of the disaster.

"The experience is polite. Now in Huaixi, no one knows General Zhu... You kill the heroes and even the fields. The people praise them. Everyone admires the heroes. It really makes people fall into the ground!"

Zhang Ximeng laughed again, "Head Yu is so praising, I want to ask, do you admire my Patriarch?"

"This is natural!"

Zhang Ximeng said again: "If this is the case, is Chief Yu willing to take the lead in giving up the farmland from his home and evenly distribute it to the fishermen to benefit the villagers?"

Yu Tonghai was stunned, and Liao Yongzhong next to him was also stunned. There is something wrong with this rhythm. Although they are taking the initiative to seek refuge, your Zhu family army has to offer some benefits. The result is good, and it doesn't cost anything. Instead, let us surrender the land first. What does this mean?

Can't you play the cards according to the routine?

Zhang Ximeng smiled slightly, "Head Yu, Chief Liao, you may not be aware that there are some special aspects of our team. From the beginning of the army, my father-in-law has set the goal of peace and saving the people. Since we want to save the people, we must To give the people the capital to survive, we advocate equalizing the land, abolishing excessive taxes, and saving the people. If we agree with these ideas, no matter who is like-minded friends, otherwise, we are our enemies."

As Zhang Ximeng said, he handed a pamphlet to Yu Tonghai, and said with a smile: "This is the outline of our farm allocation. You can take a look."

Yu Tonghai took it, glanced at Liao Yongzhong, and the two got together and read together.

It is clear that the purpose of cultivators is that the cultivators have their own fields, the world of life, the acres of land, and the common ownership of all the people, a reasonable and fair land system is the foundation of a country!

There are not many words, but a high-level building has pointed out the starting point of the land system.

Then there are the methods of land distribution, how to distribute the ration field, the circulation field, and the mulberry field, and then how to expropriate the land, and how to redistribute the land after the population multiplies...

Yu Tonghai watched for a long while, and gradually showed a look of horror, and couldn't help but said: "Experience, you guys, do you really follow this?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "When Head Yu leads, what you see and hear along the way, there is always nothing wrong? The people's support for us is also plain and clear. If Head Yu has any questions, I can arrange for you to go. Look, if you find something unreasonable, you are welcome to bring it up, and we will make improvements as appropriate."

Yu Tonghai was so shocked that he couldn't help sighing: "If the world can do this, who wants to be a bandit?"

Liao Yongzhong groaned: "I can't figure out the experience. You talk about land all over here, then, what about Chaohu Lake? What about the water?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "Good suggestion! Really good suggestion! The rivers and lakes are indeed our loopholes, and there are only some preliminary ideas at the moment. Because the rivers and lakes need to be flooded and irrigated, the money invested every year is not a small number, so it cannot be just given to the surrounding people. Ordinary people can’t afford it. Therefore, the ownership of the rivers and lakes still belongs to the court. The surrounding people can enjoy the right to fish. We approve the number of fishing boats, register them, and tax the harvest appropriately every year. As for this tax, it is too much. High, how to manage, then you can talk to fishermen from all over the place, openly and openly, and draw suggestions. Only when we get the support of most people, we will officially issue it!"

Liao Yongzhong's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but said to Yu Tonghai: "Brother Yu, I opened my eyes today. The Zhu Family Jun is really extraordinary, I am convinced!"

Yu Tonghai sighed even more, "It's more than just convincing, it's almost five-body throwing the ground. Let's come to join Zhu Jiajun, it's the right thing!"

As he said, Yu Tonghai stood up, bowed and said, “It’s good experience to know that our two families have 150 large and small ships and more than 20,000 sailors and soldiers. They are willing to return. Please also experience your permission. !"

Zhang Ximeng looked as usual, without too many surprises.

"Two chiefs, I can't promise anything right now, but we don't have a navy establishment. According to the current situation, we may establish a navy camp, but we have to wait for the Lord's will and have credit to convince the public."

Yu Tonghai nodded vigorously, "I know that, state-owned, national law, and family rules. If we have hurriedly agreed, we will be worried."

Liao Yongzhong nodded vigorously, "Yes, Brother Yu still can speak, and so do I!"

Zhang Ximeng said again: "In this case, let's talk about it, what difficulties do you have now, and how can you smoothly return?"

Zhang Ximeng lifted weights lightly, and did not even promise too much, so he bought more than a thousand ships, absolutely worthy of being wise. And after careful analysis, Zhang Ximeng gave respect and understanding, and treated them normally. He didn't look down on them, but he didn't have excessive enthusiasm.

After all, this is where the confidence lies. Yu Tonghai and Liao Yongzhong want to find a way out for their subordinates. It is very important to be fair.

They are true thieves, but it is the simple rural sentiment that maintains their gang.

Although these things are always entangled with the patriarchal clan system and the local hills, it is not a good thing, but it is undeniable that the Yu family and the Liao family must consider the future of their fellow villagers and meet the expectations of these people.

This is where the conflict between Zhao Pusheng and others and the Yu family and the Liao family lies.

They thought that if they were given official posts and benefited, they should have sacrificed their lives... But the Yu family and the Liao family always wanted to take care of their subordinates and their relatives and neighbors, so they had conflicts with Tian Wan.

On the contrary, it was Zhang Ximeng, who took care of all their subordinates, and the two of them could also explain to the villagers, so it was logical for them to surrender.

"Experience, to be honest, this time my father told me to come over, and our Yu family has long been committed to relying on General Zhu."

Zhang Ximeng smiled and nodded, then looked at Liao Yongzhong.

Now it’s Liao Yongzhong’s turn to be a little embarrassed, "Return, my brother and I both advocate following General Zhu, but I have a cousin who intends to seek refuge in Tianwan and get close to Zhao Pusheng and others. No matter how I persuade him, he won't listen...but please feel relieved, turn around, I, I will take him!"

"No need!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone has aspirations. You are relatives and the same clan. If he is willing to go, let him go, but don't take too many soldiers and horses. From then on, you will be your masters and be in front of the army. Don't collude with each other and affect the overall situation. This is intentional."

"Oh!" Liao Yongzhong was greatly moved. "The experience officer is so sensible, really, I really don't know what I want to say!"

The splitting of the Liao family was solved by Zhang Ximeng in a few words, and the two of them were even more involved.

Now there are not many questions left.

"From Zuo Junbi in Luzhou, he may send troops, and we will select dead men to stop them."

Zhang Ximeng nodded, "You can rest assured, I know Zuo Junbi's situation clearly. He has secretly surrendered to Yuan Ting."

"Really?" Yu Tonghai was shocked. He had heard rumors that Zuo Junbi had hooked up with Yuan Ting, but there has been no evidence. Zhang Ximeng actually knew it. Isn't this too strange?

Zhang Ximeng smiled indifferently, "Yuan Ting's Zhongshu Counselor Gong Bosui is here with me, and I also have the letter written by Zuo Junbi to Tuotuo!"

A fluttering sentence made Yu Tonghai stunned.

Good deed, your hands and eyes are open to the sky!

We served it!

Liao Yongzhong said to Zhang Ximeng: "Our ship is in Chaohu. UUkanshu.com needs to pass through the river to enter the Yangtze River. Now at Yuxikou, it is difficult to break through because of the boats of the Yuan Army Manzi The Hague blocking it. Zhao Pusheng Huangdun was stationed again, aggressive and difficult to deal with."

Yu Tonghai also said: "Indeed, other than that, it doesn't rain for days, the river is dry, and our boat can't get out."

At this point, Zhang Ximeng is speechless, no matter how much he has, he can't interfere with God!

"You go back to make arrangements and prepare carefully. Once it rains and the water level rises, you will immediately leave Chaohu Lake and enter the Yangtze River. I will do my best to help you!"

The two nodded immediately, got up and returned.

Just as Yu Tonghai and Liao Yongzhong were rushing on horseback, the sky was overcast and the rain was rustling... The two looked at each other, my goodness!

Doesn't the Dragon Lord have to help Zhu Yuanzhang?

When they returned to Chaohu Grandma’s cottage, the rain was pouring and the Tianhe River was venting. Watching the lake rise... Yu Tonghai was speechless.

This is what God meant, besides relying on Zhu Jiajun, is there any other choice?
