First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 215: Double the pension

Popular recommendation:

Hu Dahai was going to take his second son Hu Guanzhu to Jinling to plead guilty, but he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng to come first, and they went directly to the army.

Hu Dahai was in a turbulent mood, and he didn't know what to say for a while. His son Hu San chose to die in a sensible way, and he did not avoid risks when he was in high position. When he was in the army, he was not only trusting him, but also an encouragement to thousands of loyal and brave soldiers. Hu Dahai really admired Zhu Yuanzhang more and more, even if he killed his son. Pain, but also respectful, kneeling in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"See you at the lower post!"

Lao Zhu hurried over and stretched out his hand to hold Hu Dahai. Lao Zhu was not someone who showed his feelings, but he still held Hu Dahai's arm with all his strength, shaking it again and again, and then he entered the military tent and took his seat. Zhu Yuanzhang asked Hu Dahai to sit beside him, and Zhang Ximeng Be by your side.

Then Lao Zhu let others go out, and then he said to Hu Dahai: "We know that no matter what we say, it is your own flesh and blood, and the tiger's poison does not eat its children, so it is not close to you to not take your son seriously. Humanity. But we really can't raise our hands... tens of thousands of stone of grain, converted to about 20,000 taels of silver. We stipulated that those who embezzled dozens of taels should be beheaded and skinned. In addition, he sold bootleg wine, which made a profit. It is more than 100,000. We have worked hard to fight the country, and the brothers have given up their lives and lost their lives, and the blood has stained the yellow sand. Is the family wealth that we finally saved just for people to waste?"

Hu Dahai knew his son's crime for a long time, because people kept sending news from Jinling, Hu Sanshe's case, a lot of implicated behind. .

Some people stole grain from warehouses, some made wine without permission, and some were smuggled and sold. From local officials to large merchants, there were more than 200 people involved in the case.

Thirty people were sentenced to death.

Among these people were Zhu Yuanzhang’s fellow villager in Haozhou, and a wealthy businessman from Huaixi. One of them turned out to be Zhu Wenzheng’s cousin. This person was not only involved in the bootleg wine business, but also smuggled salt from Zhang Shicheng.

When they traced to his home, they found 2,000 stone of private salt. In addition to the case, they also brought out the case.

This guy still wanted to talk to Zhu Wenzheng. After investigation, it was determined that he was just acting in the name of Zhu Wenzheng and did not tell Zhu Wenzheng.

He had prepared three thousand taels of silver, but he had not had time to give it away.

When things got to this point, Zhu Yuanzhang was so frightened that he secretly wiped a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the investigation was done in time, otherwise, if Zhu Wenzheng received a gift, it would be difficult for even him to handle it. Although the law of the country comes first, it is indeed not so easy to make up your mind in the face of close relatives.

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

Lao Zhu wrote a letter, sternly reminding Zhu Wenzheng that he should be strictly self-disciplined and not allow any nonsense, otherwise even if he wanted to shelter, he would not be able to shelter him.

In addition to writing letters, Zhu Yuanzhang also sent people over, staring at Zhu Wenzheng, and watching this kid tightly.

It was also because of his nephew that Lao Zhu felt the same way about what happened to Hu Dahai.

"We have already ordered to be in the army, to be serious about military discipline, from top to bottom, all the same, we must severely punish the greed of ink, how the Yuan Dynasty has come to today, we all see... This has not yet conquered the world, we will repeat the same mistakes, I'm afraid we, the big guys, will all die without a place to be buried!"

Zhu Yuanzhang told Hu Dahai about the situation of the case and his consideration, worrying and careful.

Hu Dahai listened silently, feeling in his heart, "Up, that renegade son wanted to enjoy himself from the beginning. I asked him to serve in the army. He insisted that he was ill, was not in good health, and could not bear suffering. He went there a while ago. Juntun, I thought he just didn't want to suffer, but I didn't expect that he would dare to steal and sell military rations and make wine without permission... This little beast should be killed! It must be killed! I want to kill him with my own hands!"

Hu Dahai said earnestly: "There is no need to worry about the superior, I can think clearly. When I joined the superior, I saw that the superior was strict, and Qiu did not commit any crimes. I knew that the superior will definitely achieve great things. Convinced? It's just, I never expected that this matter would fall on me, and I have no way to teach my son, and I am sorry for the superior!"

Hu Dahai cried and bowed to the ground, and Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly pulled him up again, "Don't say it, how can you take care of everything when you are leading the troops? Let's remember, you still want a son?"

"Yeah! Call Hu Guanzhu, this kid, this kid is not as smart and stupid as his brother, just knowing how to fight and rush... It's quite similar to my father."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Okay, okay! Let's learn something from Mr. Zhang first, and then be our personal guard!"

Hu Dahai was stunned for a while... Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guards did not simply protect Lao Zhu. In fact, they were responsible for many missions. Simply put, Wu Datou's title of a thousand households was placed under Lao Zhu's personal guards.

Protecting Zhu Yuanzhang's safety, spying on intelligence, public opinion propaganda, illegal inspections... Many things are all this personal guard is responsible for.

Once you become Old Zhu's personal guard, it means becoming a **** confidant.

Hu Dahai's face was full of bitterness, he said embarrassedly: "Supervisor, that kid knows nothing, I'm afraid he will make a mistake!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "So let's let him follow Mr. Zhang first and learn some skills. Our nephew Li Wenzhong, our godson Zhu Ying, and Lan Yu are all under Mr. Zhang's hands."

Zhang Ximeng also smiled and nodded, "Commander Hu, you only have this child left, the lord is afraid of any harm to him. Temporarily assigned to the guard, we also need to see his interest and talent, there is always a suitable position for him. Even if he is willing to lead troops to fight, he can learn how to use firearms first and let him lead the firearms battalion. "

With Zhang Ximeng's explanation, Hu Dahai finally accepted it readily.

Although Hu Sanshe couldn't keep it, the superior still tried to make amends, and Shi Enhu locked him up, which made Hu Dahai feel a little better.

"The superior, let's not talk about the family affairs of the humble post. I heard that the superior did not promise to praise Shi Mo Yisun?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "There is indeed such a thing, what do the soldiers think?"

"Naturally, I think the superior is doing the right thing!" Hu Dahai gritted his teeth, "I just can't figure it out, how many warriors are there in our peace? We have to praise the thief of Yuantar? Fortunately, The superiors were wise and wise, and they were not fooled. The brothers all felt that the superiors did the right thing and gave them thumbs up!"

Old Zhu smiled reservedly, "Mr. Zhang still sees this through clearly."

Zhang Ximeng took over the words, "Envoy Hu, to tell the truth, this kind of thing is not difficult to understand... The people who have always controlled public opinion are not soldiers in the army, and there are too many heroic deeds that have been forgotten, even if they can be recorded in the annals of history. There are not many people who remember it. The most popular ones are those who are talented and beautiful, even if there are some conquests in troubled times, they are only a glimpse, and they cannot be deeply penetrated.”

"Fortunately, we have noticed that the army also has its own propaganda team. I have asked Wu Datou and they sent people to come over to understand the actual situation in the army, and put the heroic deeds of the soldiers on the stage... Public opinion propaganda is also a war, let's If they don't seize the position, they will fall into the hands of others. If they are allowed to perform indiscriminately, they will confuse black and white and confuse the public. Take Shi Moyisun's family as an example, if you really praise them, maybe someone will say Shi Moyi in the future. Sun is a loyal minister, and once he becomes a loyal minister, wouldn't we all become sinners who killed loyal ministers and filial sons?"

Hu Dahai glared, "This, what is the reason for farting? I'm not convinced! Mr. Zhang, this attack on Zhuji City killed a total of 536 people, thirteen of whom made first-class contributions. ...The brother who took the lead on the human ladder, I gave him a trick. To tell the truth, he, the bones of his upper body were broken, and the seven orifices were bleeding. I couldn't help crying when I saw it."

Hu Dahai raised his head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then looked at Zhang Ximeng.

"Superior, Mr. Zhang, I know that some people say that Hu Dahai will hold grudges or even rebel because of his own son's death... But, those soldiers are also my brothers and sisters... They sacrificed their lives and died in front of them. Fight. Thirty-eight thousand stone rations! How many lives is that! Even if the superiors don't kill him, I can't spare him! It's true that people can't be wasted, even if they don't kill him! My own flesh and blood will not work!"

Hu Dahai was emotional and revealed his heart, Zhang Ximeng and Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.

Hu Dahai is indeed a man of righteousness, which is extraordinary.

"My lord means to give double compensation to the brothers who have sacrificed. How to do it? I have detailed regulations here, which will be announced later, to ensure that everyone is satisfied. As for Shimo Yisun Are they? They are the stubborn lackeys of the Yuan court, resisting the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and they will die. They should write down the details of this battle, carve them into stone tablets, and leave them in Zhuji to wake up future generations. Moreover, they must also clearly inform the world that everyone talks about stone The matter of Mo Yisun must be made clear. Their family is a hereditary sub-ten thousand households in the Yuan Dynasty, enjoying glory and wealth. During the period of guarding Chuzhou, they condoned their subordinates, plundered the people, knocked their bones and sucked their marrow. They also framed the red thieves casually. There are many people. Innocent murdered! Liu Bowen has already explained these matters in a detailed investigation file. To clarify the cause and effect, he is not simply loyal to Dayuan. If anyone dares to ignore the cause and the cause, but simply praise the loyalty of a hawk dog, he will open his eyes for Yuan Ting. , must be severely punished!"

When Hu Dahai heard this, he immediately nodded vigorously, "Yes, Mr. Zhang is so right..."

While chatting happily, Xu Da suddenly asked to see him. He didn't come by himself, but he was even holding a little girl over five years old.

"Superior, this is Shi Mo Yisun's daughter. She was almost dragged into the fire by her grandmother. She was brought out by a servant of their family. It was just sent to the military camp and wanted to receive a reward."

"Receive a reward?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "What reward?"

"It's not because the superior didn't praise Shi Mo Yisun, he felt that the superior wanted to kill their family. This girl was a slippery fish, so I sent it here..."

"You bastard!" Lao Zhu slapped the table angrily, "Let's not have trouble getting along with a little girl, Shi Mo Yisun deserves to die, the old lady is courting death! This child is innocent and will be raised in the army, no one should be embarrassed. she!"

Xu Da was stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed and said, "The superior is kind!"
