Chapter 74 Zhu's Military Thought Lesson (1)
"Your Majesty, I think that a living Li Chengdong is much more valuable and meaningful than a dead Li Chengdong." Wang Fuzhi bowed and replied.
"Oh? Tell me." Zhu Youlang was delighted when he saw Wang Fuzhi agreeing with his opinion.
"Yes. Your Majesty, it's very easy to kill Li Chengdong, but what's the point? According to Lord Zhang, after all, it was to avenge the people who died in Jiading and Yangzhou, and to vent their anger. In theory, it's good to let the people exude their anger, and it can make people in the world yearn for me, Yongli Dynasty, and those who harm the people are jealous and dare not do anything. However, this is not the case." Wang Fuzhi stood up straight and talked happily.
"The emperor renamed the army to the Ming People's Liberation Army in order to liberate the people enslaved by the Qing people. In this sense, our cause is to liberate the people across the country. As long as the people are liberated from the iron hooves of the Qing army, the people's greatest happiness is. Death of a Li Chengdong is just to let the people breathe a sigh of relief, which is not very beneficial to our liberation cause." Wang Fuzhi continued.
"If Li Chengdong is alive, in addition to what the emperor said just now, it has a positive political significance, but also a more positive practical significance. Li Chengdong's troops entered Fujian, and only 20,000 people entered Guangdong, and there were only 30,000 troops in Fujian. If Li Chengdong was placed east, Huizhou, Chaozhou and even the entire Fujian area would be lost and recovered, the people in these places would have to celebrate. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these 50,000 troops is not low, enough to resist or restrain more Qing soldiers and gain precious time for our dynasty to recuperate. How many people can live Li Chengdong die less? How many people can liberate? This means, it is not necessary to explain in detail."
"There is another thing that the emperor once promised Li Yuanyin that if Li Chengdong surrendered, he would let his father and son make meritorious contributions, use the blood of the Qing army to clean up the dirt on his body, and use greater merits to offset the serious crimes he committed. If he did not use it, he might be trapped by the emperor for Wuxin. I think that if the two great evils of "Three Massacres of Jiading" and "Ten Days of Yangzhou" are in their own way, and if the emperor gives preferential treatment to him, Li Chengdong would not dare to have any unfair intentions, nor should he worry that he would be arrogant to the ministers and overtake others in the future." Wang Fuzhi said.
"Yes, this Lord Wang is a sensible person." After hearing Wang Fuzhi's words, Lin Cha couldn't help but nodded secretly.
When Zhu Youlang heard it at the end, he also heard something else.
The advantage of reusing Li Chengdong is obvious. Zhang Jiayu's vision is not worse than that of Wang Fuzhi, a nerd? Is the real reason why he strongly opposes is that he is afraid that Li Chengdong will be unable to control his future achievements? Overshadow him?
It doesn’t matter if the ministers have selfish intentions, everyone has selfish intentions. However, if the selfish intentions are too great and the selfish intentions are above the overall situation of the court, this will not work.
However, Zhang Jiayu is a famous loyal minister in history. Could it be that he also has selfishness? Will loyal ministers also have selfishness?
"Yuanzi, what about Nong's words?" Zhu Youlang's eyes were a little exploratory, and his tone was a little bad.
"Your Majesty, I admire the words of the farmer. Li Chengdong can live a million more soldiers of the people and soldiers, which can be of great benefit to the cause of liberation. This is the overall situation, but I am ashamed of it, and I have no objection."
Zhang Jiayu didn't know if he saw the deep meaning in the emperor's eyes, or if Wang Fuzhi's last words did come to his heart, which dispelled his concerns. Anyway, his attitude changed this time.
Zhu Youlang couldn't see Zhang Jiayu's heart clearly, but it would be fine if his ideas changed. As for whether he had selfish intentions, Zhu Youlang didn't care much. As long as he balanced the forces well, no one would dominate. What's more, it's still a starting team now, so it's still a bit too far to talk about this.
"Okay, the unity of the king and his subjects is the momentum of prosperity." Zhu Youlang said happily.
"Xiaobai, go to Xuan Li Chengdong, Yuan Pengnian, Meng Wenjie, Sun Zhongming and Li Yuanyin."
"Abide by the order."
...
Li Chengdong and others were brought in. After shouting for a long time, they knelt on the ground.
"I heard that you didn't have any food? Why? Do you feel that you lost a little bit of a coward, or are you worried that I will kill you?"
Zhu Youlang did not start to scream. Although he was preparing to reuse Li Chengdong, he still had to rub and grind the necessary ones.
Some people are just strange. The more you treat him with kindness, the more disrespectful he is to you; and the more severe you are to him, he is as obedient as a cat.
Zhu Youlang has been a human being for two lifetimes, and he still understands this principle.
"I dare not blame myself." Li Chengdong knelt in front of him. When he heard the emperor speak, he talked about food, and there was also a questioning in his words. He quickly cheered up and listened carefully, for fear that one of the answer would be correct.
"Do you dare not say or think?" Zhu Youlang continued.
"This emperor is not easy to deal with. Why did you even break the casserole and ask the question?" Li Chengdong thought to himself.
"When you go back to the emperor, you will be convinced and have no other intentions." Li Chengdong replied.
"Well, you only answered one question, and there was one question that didn't answer. It seems that you are still a little worried about your future and destiny." Zhu Youlang said.
"The sin will surrender sincerely, and I hope the emperor will be kind." Li Chengdong kowtowed again and said.
"I'm a little bit distorted." Zhu Youlang said.
Li Chengdong was about to defend himself, but Zhu Youlang didn't wait for him to speak, and continued to say to himself: "How can the alliance under the city be sincere? Tingzhen, you don't need to defend yourself, I know very well."
Tingzhen is the name of Li Chengdong.
"In fact, whether it is not convinced by losing or worrying about your future or destiny, it is normal. I will not commit crimes for this."
"Go back to the emperor, I will lose my sins!" Meng Wenjie wanted to say this just now. After holding it in for a long time, he felt uncomfortable. When Zhu Youlang said this, he finally couldn't help it and said it back.
"Shut up!" Li Chengdong turned around and shouted.
"Hahaha, Tingzhen, why bother? It's better to say something. I'm not a king who blocks the way of speaking. Not to mention this, even if I have something wrong, my ministers can also criticize him. However, I like the same thing as the inside and the inside, and I don't like the one thing on the surface and the other behind the back, and I'm slandering."
After hearing Meng Wenjie's words, Zhu Youlang was not angry but happy. He happened to be going to take the Zhu military thought class with you, the men who led the troops. Meng Wenjie handed the ladder to him, and it was a rare opportunity.
"Your name is Meng Wenjie, right?"
"Yes, the sin will be called Meng Wenjie."
"It's understandable that you don't accept it. What you think is that the two armies will fight with real swords and guns. Only if they lose, they will be convinced, right?"
"Yes, that's what sin will think."
