First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Popular recommendation:

Zhang Shide took over Hangzhou, heaven on earth, Suzhou and Hangzhou, all of which fell into Zhang Shicheng's hands, a place of wealth and a romantic culture... Zhang Shicheng's small days became better in an instant.

I want salt, we have it!

If you want silk, we have it too!

If you want money, we have more!

Need food... With silk and salt, will there be a shortage of food?

Since we have everything, happiness is one day, and unhappiness is one day, why not be happy?

Zhang Shicheng's pursuit is not high, first of all, he must have a good house.

This one started to build houses at all costs, took over the old lady, and the family enjoyed the happiness of the family. When he did this, everyone under his command worked.

At the beginning, the ambition to conquer the world with eighteen poles was long gone.

To be fair, Zhang Shicheng still did some good things, such as canceling the exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the Yuan court, persuading farmers to teach agriculture, building water conservancy, and encouraging trade...

But there is no doubt that these measures are things that local officials should do in peacetime. It's not what a hero who wants to rule the world should do.

If you want to open up a prosperous era, you must redistribute benefits. To put it bluntly, you must move the land.

Unfortunately, Zhang Shicheng had no such idea at all.

"Zhang Shicheng is short-sighted and capricious. He is only worthy of being an old guard dog. How can he rule the world? The sinner is not talented, but he is willing to surrender to Duke Wu, and ask him to take him in!"

Luo Guanzhong knelt down on one knee and lowered his head. .

He was not optimistic about Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning, but today, he has to admit that maybe it was his eyes that had a problem and couldn't recognize him as a real hero.

But Zhu Yuanzhang remembered one thing, "Mr. Luo, we remember that when we asked you to be our teacher and let you read so many official documents... As a result, you stole our secret letter and went to seek refuge with Zhang Shicheng, why? Today, do you want to rely on us?"

Lao Zhu actually pursued the previous matter, Luo Guanzhong was sweating and panic.

He could only bow down on the ground and begged: "In the past, sinners were all confused, they missed the opportunity, they were confused, and I asked Lord Wu Guogong to give the sinners a way out!"

Lao Luo kept saluting, knocking his forehead red and swollen.

Zhu Yuanzhang pressed his forehead and sighed helplessly, "That's not what I meant. We said that we would give you a place to sacrifice wine at the university, and we really meant it. But now there are Liu Ji, Song Lian and the others, and the academy is under the control of Mr. Zhang. I want to give you a high official, but I can't. Hey! Why didn't you surrender earlier?"

Luo Guanzhong was stunned, did he think it was too late for me to take refuge?

I also want to be early, but didn't I look down on you at the beginning!

Lao Luo said that he was suffering. You didn't accompany you when you were down. Who are you when you are in the sky?

If Lao Luo had voted at the beginning, he would at least be in the top five in Zhu Yuanzhang's civil service sequence, and now even fifty or five hundred has nothing to do with him.

In terms of seniority, Sun Yan's classmates who have participated in the imperial examination are all a lot ahead of Lao Luo.

How did you ask Zhu Yuanzhang to arrange him?

"Mr. Zhang, what's your idea?"

What can Zhang Ximeng say, it's not because of this stinky code word. Even if I want to help, there is nothing I can do. The main positions are all occupied, and there is not much I can give him.

"My lord, Mr. Luo's writing is excellent, his mind is clever, and he is good at writing... We happen to have a drama troupe here, and we are in urgent need of masters who can write drama. If Mr. Luo is willing, he can be in charge of publicity."

When Lao Luo heard this, he suddenly became bitter. What does it mean? Make me a joke? How does that work? Even the face of the ancestors was lost!

Zhang Ximeng, you can't hurt me!

Seeing that Lao Luo didn't speak, Zhang Ximeng immediately understood what Luo Guanzhong meant.

You are so confused!

Zhu Jiajun's propaganda is different from other places, and opera is not something inferior. On the contrary, opera is the main form of Zhu Jiajun's propaganda, and the effect is very good.

[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. 】

Wu Datou has already been given the title of Thousand Households... Some people even suggested that he should be given a higher level and mentioned the commander. After all, everyone knows the power of propaganda work, and sometimes thousands of elite soldiers may not be able to achieve results. They went out and got it right away.

However, Wu Datou is very humble and thinks that he can't surpass those soldiers who really kill the enemy on the battlefield. One thousand households have come to an end. It would be too much to promote him to an official position.

Wu Datou's humility has been well-received in the army.

Zhang Ximeng also felt that in terms of military service, it was enough to reach thousands of households, and then it would be better to change to a civil service officer.

If Luo Guanzhong joins at this time, with his level, it will not be difficult for him to become a minister in the future.

However, his vision is not good, what else can I do?

"Master, how about this, if Mr. Luo is willing, he can assist in the work of the prisoners. This work may be a little harder."

When Luo Guanzhong heard this, he finally became interested. He was really familiar with the work of prisoners.

When Tuotuo's army of several hundred thousand disintegrated, he assisted Zhang Shicheng and gathered his troops. This is a good thing. Those who surrendered became Zhang Shicheng's trusted subordinates. No matter how they fought and made contributions in the future, they would all be counted as their own. The generals in the army will also be polite to themselves.

Luo Guanzhong agreed with Zhang Ximeng without any hesitation.

"Sinners, sinners are not afraid of hard work, sinners are willing to persuade the superiors to surrender! Let them honestly return to the superiors and fight for the superiors!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ximeng knew that Luo Guanzhong didn't understand Zhu Jiajun's prisoner work at all, but it didn't matter if he didn't understand it, he would just learn it slowly in the future.

It's just that how hard this is, it's up to Lao Luo to experience it himself.

After talking to Lao Luo, Zhu Yuanzhang still has important things to do. The matter of Miao Bing was temporarily handed over to Zhang Ximeng.

On the other side, Sun Yan also explained clearly to the five generals, and then led them, filed in, and came to see him.

Yang Zhengren, Yang Tongtai, Yang Dongguan, Li Caifu, and Xiao Yu were the uncles of Yang Wanzhe, plus the four generals he sent.

The first is Yang Zhengren. This man is indeed a mature man. Don't look at making money into the bridal chamber, without delay, he still has the energy to pay attention to the movements in the city.

He found that the gentry was uneasy and kind, and there seemed to be a change. He immediately prepared in advance. When Zhang Shide came to kill him, he resolutely fled with his cronies. After he ran away, he found Yang Notice and then went to Yang Tongtai.

Yang Tongtai got the news and decided to contact Xiao Yu.

The four of them followed Sun Yan and came to Zhu Yuanzhang obediently.

As for Li Caifu, he was originally the closest to Hangzhou. Yang Zhengren was worried that Zhang Shicheng would attack them, so he gave up Li Caifu. Unexpectedly, Luo Guanzhong came out. He found Li Caifu directly, told Yang Wanzhe's last words, and persuaded him to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Li Caifu was not stupid either. Zhang Shicheng attacked Hangzhou and forced Yang Wanzhe to death. If they surrendered to Zhang Shicheng, they would not end well.

Just like that, he followed Luo Guanzhong obediently.

good guy!

All the elite Miao soldiers went to the Zhu Family Army to gather.

"How many soldiers and horses do you have in all?"

Zhang Ximeng asked directly, several people looked at each other, Yang Zhengren said first: "In response to Prime Minister Zhang, we originally had 100,000 people, after deducting losses, now there are almost 80,000 soldiers and horses on the four routes!"

Several other people also nodded, "Almost, there are more than 23,000 people under my subordinates alone." Yang Tongtai vowed to add.

These people were scrambling to brag, and Sun Yan simply shut up, scolding inwardly, "These fools, I've told you in vain, Zhang Xiang is so smart, how could he be deceived by you! Look at it, You're going to be out of luck."

Sure enough, Zhang Ximeng said sternly: "There are so many? Then the food and wages we prepared originally are not enough, and we need to increase it!"

Grain rates!

All of them showed a smug smile.

"Zhang Xiang, our Miao soldiers can endure hardships. If your army lacks food and salaries, it's okay to have less. It's okay to pay 60,000 people."

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "How can this be done! How many soldiers and how much food and salaries are paid, all are treated equally. Here, there are no Han soldiers or Miao soldiers. We are all soldiers of the lord, and people of the state of Wu of China! That's it, Sun Yan. , you lead a few distinguished guests to continue to understand the military regulations... Mr. Luo and I will check the number of people and re-draw the plan for the distribution of food and salaries."

After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, he stood up, greeted Luo Guanzhong, and went out together.

Yang Zhengren was stunned, they felt something was wrong, they wanted to throw themselves away!

They stood up at the same time and wanted to stop them, but Sun Yan smiled and said, "You guys, don't be impatient, the biggest difference between our Zhu family army and other soldiers is that everything pays attention to military discipline, and everyone must Be honest, be honest, and don’t lie and brag. You can’t even take empty pay and drink soldiers’ blood. But don’t worry, after all, it’s not surprising that you don’t know, and we’ll take care of you. Don’t worry.”

fart!

Don't worry about what?

Does this disarm us?

You are too much!

Yang Zhengren frowned, he gritted his teeth, and said to Sun Yan, "Sir, some time ago, we gambled money and borrowed a lot of gold from Mr.

When Sun Yan heard this, he was very happy and smiled, "That's great, I just don't know how to explain it to Zhang Xiang? This is voluntary by the two of you, didn't I coerce me?"

"No, absolutely not! We are all willing."

Sun Yan smiled and said, "Then... can we establish words as evidence?"

Several people were stunned for a while, but when they thought of military power, they still agreed, "Yes!"

Yang Zhengren took the lead, signed and signed, and returned all the gold they took away.

Sun Yan happily put away the documents, finally being able to explain.

Yang Zhengren pondered for a moment, then suddenly leaned over and said, "Mr. Sun, to be honest, our subordinates are all Miao Min, they are wild and disobedient to Wang Hua... The big guys used to follow Yuan Ting for so many years, they only knew how to obey. Yuan Ting ordered. We are all willing to submit to Wu Guogong, but they don't recognize others, how can this be good?"

Sun Yan blinked and burst into laughter, "Only listen to the orders of the Yuan court? Alright! Don't worry, we have loyal ministers of the Yuan Dynasty here. It turned out that the right prime minister of Zhejiang Province, the imperial envoy, the political clerk, the privy envoy, They will rule your ministry well! You can drink tea with peace of mind!"
