First Minister of Ming Dynasty

After Zhu Yuanzhang entered Jinling, he only took Zhenjiang. After all, this place has been the barrier of Nanjing since ancient times, and it is also known as Jingkou. I think Liu Yu took this as a basis and seized the Sima family. Such an important place must not fall into the hands of others.

But after taking Zhenjiang, the entire Zhu family's army stopped and did not continue to use troops.

Many people thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was self-sufficient and lacked motivation, or that most of the Zhu family's army was from Huaixi and was unwilling to fight in the south of the Yangtze River... Even the rumors that the plague was prevalent came out.

In fact, this matter is not complicated at all. It is just that Zhu Yuanzhang conducted a small training for the generals in the army and gave them some inconspicuous examinations.

Lao Zhu followed Zhang Ximeng to study, and then asked Jia Lu and others for teaching. His foundation was already very good. And Lao Zhu has his own literary attitude.

He is extremely disgusted with rhetoric, flashy things are unnecessary, concise and simple, and there is something in the words.

Therefore, his requirements for these generals are also very simple. The first is basic writing, arithmetic, at least 3,000 words, and they must be proficient in military regulations.

The second is the level of business. You must know the well-known battles in the past, you must be able to have your own views on a battle, and you must be able to write articles and analyze them.

Another point, Lao Zhu asked the lieutenant generals to understand the policies such as Juntian.

This is the key.

Perhaps it is not important in other soldiers and horses, but not in Zhu's army, because in the territory just captured, ordinary civilians can't do anything at all, and personnel in the army must go down, bombard the area, eliminate bandit troubles, explain policies, and appease the hearts of the people. .

And the best in the army can also be transferred to officials.

Therefore, the generals must understand Zhu's army's policies and be able to practice them.

Lao Zhu demanded that he must pass the examination before he can continue to command the army. If he fails the examination, he will be demoted once or twice, and the third time will be demoted. By analogy, it is not impossible to even expel the main army.

When this regulation was announced, it can be said that the military is in a mess.

In the past, it was outrageous for soldiers to read and write, but now they let the big guys take the exam, just go for the jinshi exam, don't bring such torture!

However, not all in the army were crying and rushing to death.

People like Xu Da, Feng Guoyong, Feng Guosheng, and even Deng Youde, who just joined him, all performed outstandingly. But there are only a few people who have become the most difficult households among the difficult households... The commander of the cavalry battalion Hua Yun, Hu Dahai, Chang Yuchun, and Zhu Wenzheng!

That's right, although Zhu Wenzheng brought a word to highlight his uncle's earnest expectations, but when this kid saw the word, his head became big, and Hu Dahai was not much better. His fingers were thicker than a rolling pin, so let him Holding a writing brush, writing stroke by stroke, it was like dancing with a knife and a sword, and without two strokes, the paper was cut.

These four goods have become the most difficult households in the army, but Lao Zhu is the most closely watched, and he will not let go for a moment.

I don't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, so he tortured him at every turn and asked them to read the articles he wrote in front of the generals, and executed them in public.

However, the level of these few people really makes Zhang Zongchang sad, and Li Yunlong weeps.

Continue, if you fail the assessment, you will be dismissed from office.

It's too unfortunate that the official position that was spelled out with great effort was lost because of illiteracy.

After a person is forced to a certain level, he can do anything.

Hu Dahai was dying. He simply ran to Xu Da's subordinates and asked for all the literacy cards. He also brought in a few veterans and asked them to help make up the lesson.

Then, he studied hard. Hu Dahai didn't sleep for two hours a day, with dark circles under his eyes, he stayed up all night cultivating immortals all day long.

Not to mention, after more than a month of hard study, Lao Hu was finally able to write something, typos were inevitable, and the meaning was still understandable.

There is a head-to-head like Hu Dahai, and there are opportunistic ones.

For example, Chang Yuchun found his brother-in-law Lanyu.

Don't look at Lan Yu's young age, and he didn't read much before, but he followed Zhang Ximeng, and his level improved very quickly. What books Zhang Ximeng likes to read, what experiences and experiences, and what requirements did he put on Lan Yu, these things often come to mind All begged to come over, and then racked their brains to study.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang also asked Zhang Ximeng for advice. Rounding up, he was considered to be in the same family as Lanyu. He learned from Lan Yu, so he could be regarded as an anonymous disciple.

Zhu Wenzheng smelled it, so he simply went to Li Wenzhong, we are still relatives, you can open a small stove for me!

Li Wenzhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he couldn't refuse. In this way, Lan Yu and Li Wenzhong both started one-on-one guidance work. Naturally, both of them caught a lot of bundles, and the small treasury quickly swelled, and they could buy two bowls of soy milk in the morning.

Zhu Ying couldn't take it any longer because these two goods became rich, so he simply pulled Lu Zhou up and took the initiative to find Hua Yun, who was worried about his hair.

Don't say anything, we have spent much more time with Mr. Zhang than those two, especially Zhu Ying. The book list that my godfather read back then is still in my hands. I know exactly how he suffered in the first place. .

He was simply hurt by my Big Brother Zhang, so he came to you to make up for it.

Don't worry, just listen to us and make sure you pass the exam smoothly.

Huayun can be regarded as grabbing the life-saving straw.

"Well, as long as I pass, each of you will give you a war horse!"

"Really!" Zhu Ying was overjoyed, "You didn't lie? I know that the number of war horses in the army is certain, so why do you just give it to me?"

Hua Yun scratched his hair, which had suffered heavy losses, and came up with an idea, "It's not easy, there are many war horses, but war horses can be born! I will give you a foal. After two or three years, you can go to the battlefield. Now, this horse can be ridden!"

Zhu Ying rolled her eyes and immediately felt that this method was good.

So the lively remedial action began.

From Chang Yuchun, Hu Dahai, to Zhu Wenzheng, Huayun, everyone is busy, studying hard without sleep or food.

Many times, what the military wants is this atmosphere. Even these bosses are dying. Who else dares to say anything?

An atmosphere of learning spread throughout the Zhu family.

Old Zhu was very satisfied, he simply organized the competition!

That's right, in the past, there were shooting, wrestling, equestrian and other events in the military, and Lao Zhu added it by reciting military regulations. Select personnel from each battalion, whoever remembers them well and memorizes them well will compete in the whole army. If they stand out, they can be promoted to one level, and the battalion they belong to can also double their money.

After this set of tossing, Zhu Jiajun's mental outlook is much better than before.

Zhu Yuanzhang also enjoys this sense of achievement in teaching and educating people. It seems that people are called "Mr. Zhu", which is even more pleasant than the superior. He seemed to realize Zhang Ximeng's happiness.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have nothing to do, he had to be happy with his generals.

Because Lao Zhu knew very well that there were problems within the Zhu Family Army and needed to be integrated.

First of all, the main force of the Zhu family's army is the Huaixi people. Many of them are reluctant to leave their hometowns. Even after crossing the river, they want to grab a wave and return to Huaixi.

Lao Zhu obviously couldn't agree to this kind of rogue behavior.

Besides, the Zhu family army gathered a lot of newly surrendered soldiers, including the entire Chaohu Naval Division, and so many soldiers and horses from multiple courts.

These people have disorganized military discipline and have no sense of obedience at all.

From top to bottom, it's a lump of mud.

If they can't be rectified and let them out, it will only ruin the reputation of the Zhu family army, and it may not be possible to fight a war.

All generals are required to read and write, recite military regulations, improve their cultural level, and explain the policy of dividing land... This is to unite people's hearts, remove the old stigma, transform this army, forge gods to kill gods, and Buddhas to block and kill Buddhas. Magic weapon!

In particular, it is worth mentioning that Zhu Yuanzhang took care of all these things himself. He referred to some of Zhang Ximeng's previous practices and added his own ideas. Everything went smoothly. I have to say that the talents of old Zhu Zhijun are also top-notch. of.

When Lao Zhu was tossing his troops and horses, Zhang Ximeng got rid of Zhu Yidou. After that, there was another imperial examination, Lishui field... All in all, Zhang Ximeng was busy, Lao Zhu only showed a few faces, and most of his thoughts were full. on the whole army.

Now that two months have passed, the magic weapon will be officially unsheathed!

It's time to test the academic performance of these generals... At this moment, two people, in a boat, crossed the Yangtze River and entered Jinling City.

The people here are Wang Guangyang and Wu Datou!

"My God! I actually came back alive!"

Wu Datou touched his head~www.readwn.com~ and pinched the greasy big face plate!

"Mr. Wang, am I not dreaming?"

Wang Guangyang couldn't help laughing, "Wu Baihu, don't say that to outsiders... Now it's rumored all over the world, you say the number one red thief, the unparalleled gangster, if people know you are the number one villain , If you say that you are so useless, you will be stabbed in the spine!"

Wu Datou was stunned, right? No one thinks I can really fight, right?

He really couldn't bear it, it was too shy.

Wang Guangyang didn't want to worry about what Wu Datou thought. As soon as he stepped into Jinling City, he could feel a strong change. This city has rules!

Clean, hygienic and orderly.

All merchants who enter the city and deliver goods must pay taxes according to the rules. And once the tax is paid, it is unimpeded.

With this governance ability, let alone the Yuan court, even the Han and Song regimes of Liu Futong and others were thrown out of the 18th Street!

Some people are clearly declared emperors, but they are still no different from bandits. Some people are just marshals, and they actually play the role of emperors. It's really incomparable!

"Reporting to the superior, Liu Futong has dispatched the Western Expedition Army to attack Guanzhong. He also sent Mao Gui into Shandong... The Han and Song Dynasties have begun the Northern Expedition!"

Lao Zhu couldn't help taking a breath!

Northern Expedition!

No one has succeeded since ancient times!

It was Liu Futong who took the lead... But if you get fat first, it's not fat, and if you get fat later, the kang will collapse. Sooner or later, this world is still ours!

"Send the order, set off immediately! Within a month, we will take Huizhou!"
