Chapter 745 : Know Yourself and Your Enemy
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded without comment, then turned his face to look at Li Shanchang and asked, "What do you think of this matter by the political magistrate?" Zhu Yuanzhang trusted this scholar who came to ask for a meeting.
Li Shanchang did not answer immediately. He analyzed the situation in the future and was not his leader, but the lord was not good at answering questions. He thought for a while and said, "Now I have a lot of soldiers and food, and the boats are ready. Even if Chen Youliang comes to attack, he is not afraid!" "Yes...yes...?" Many soldiers in the crowd were fellow villagers with Li Shanchang. Listening to his words, he would inevitably shout for a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, but did not respond. Chang Yuchun was the most loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's face was worried, he stood up and said, "Lord, is there anything wrong with what the magistrate said?"
Everyone thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would agree with Li Shanchang's opinion. At this time, when he heard Chang Yuchun's question, he realized that it was not the case. He couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuanzhang curiously.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "I saw that Tianwan's country has many soldiers and generals, not to mention that the two swords are invincible, Zhao Pusheng, Ding Pusheng, Zou Pusheng, Fu Youde, Chen Youliang alone is difficult to deal with. In recent years, Tianwan's country has fought south and north, conquered Jiangxi and Hunan, and controlled part of the Sichuan Basin and Shaanxi. It has rebuilt the capital in Hanyang County, changing the year name to Taiping, and Weishun Wang Kuan withdrew Buhua. All of them were defeated in their hands. At present, the Tartars still captured the north and were eyeing us. Zhang Shicheng's hundreds of thousands of main army are confronting our army. Once he rashly dispatched, "the river clam fights, the fisherman gains profit" would not follow Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang's heart. If Chen and Zhang are in a close relationship, how can I resist? From this, it can be seen that his troops to fight against Chen Youliang will never be brave enough. He needs a long-term strategic significance, and he must be careful!"
Only by knowing oneself and an enemy can one never win a battle. General Xu Da, who had never spoken, stood up and said something.
"General Xu's words are reasonable!" Chang Yuchun said that he nodded and said, "The strength of Tianwan Country is not underestimated. Now that the lord has occupied Yingtian for less than a year, the foundation has not yet been solid. Although Tianwan Country's current strength is not as strong as before, its military strength has not weakened, and its land is fertile and rich, and its reserves are abundant, it is probably difficult to suddenly be eliminated, so it should be treated with caution."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "The two generals are reasonable, and this matter should be discussed for a long time!" Everyone believed Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. He heard that the two of them did not appreciate Xu Shouhui's troops, and nodded and said yes.
Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to hear the opinions of Tang He, Deng Yu and others. At this moment, a young general rushed over to report: "Report to the Duke of the Kingdom, General Guo has been ordered to retrieve the evidence of Wang Qiang, Wu Renjie and others, and please check it out!"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, his face darkened, and he shouted: "Come on!"
The young general respectfully handed over the exquisitely made small notebook in his hand. Zhu Yuanzhang took the notebook and opened it. He found that the notebook was deducting food and grass, selling food and grass, making wine, and selling alcohol clearly. The notebook records that Wang Qiang secretly greedy for extravagance, buying concubines for huge sums, bullying soldiers, etc.... "
"Bastard!" After looking for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped and shouted: "Wang Qiang, Hu Sanshe, Wu Renjie, and Li Lianzhi dared to be so bold and arbitrary... bold and arbitrary..." Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang's angry face changed drastically.
Most of the people started following Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers since Zhu Yuanzhang defected to Guo Zixing. He had never seen Zhu Yuanzhang get such a big temper in decades. Many people looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in surprise and couldn't help but mutter in their hearts: "What did those bastards do? How could they make the lord so angry?"
Zhu Yuanzhang cursed a few words and threw the clone on the dragon's case hatefully. His muscles leapt on the cheeks. He stared at the small notebook on the dragon's case for a long time. He suddenly reached out and slapped his hand and said angrily: "What a bold and arrogant thing. I have been fighting in the south and north for many years. I have taken the exorcism and photovoltaicism of our Han people as my mission. I didn't expect that there were such soldiers in Zhu Yuanzhang's army who were so conscientious and could not be punished!" After a pause, he turned around and shouted: "Come on, bring all the criminals in this commander. I want to try this case in the Grand Marshal's Mansion. I want to see who gave him such courage!"
Xu Da and Chang Yuchun looked at each other. Isn’t Hu Sanshe the son of Hu Dahai? Hu Dahai is still attacking Zhejiang. This...? "After hesitating for a moment, Xu Da stood up and said, "Lord, this matter must not be done... As the saying goes, there is a law, and the Duke of the State is the commander of the army. How can he personally try this case for a mere thief? It is more appropriate to hand it over to the political party to handle it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said this just now. After calming down, he thought that it was indeed a bit inappropriate for his lord to enter the court, but his eyes touched the account book on the Dragon Case, and anger immediately arose from his heart. When he was a child, he could not forget that due to the extortion of those corrupt officials, his elder brother and his mother Chen died one after another. He and his second brother watched their relatives die one by one, and their family had no money to buy coffins, and even had no land to bury their relatives. They defected to Monk Gao Bin, ordained monks in the temple, and became a little boy. They swept the floor every day, burned incense, beat bells and drums, cooked and washed clothes, and were busy all day long, and sometimes they were scolded by the old monk. All of this was done by these corrupt officials who destroyed the conscience.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of blood. After a long time, he turned around and shouted at the civil and military officials behind him, "The funeral has no coffin, and the body is covered with evil clothes, so how can I lay the slurry! The general of the Ministry of Justice is settled. I have nothing to do with you, so I will not let you listen together!"
Everyone kept saying "Yes!"
Only Li Shanchang sat upright and did not respond. Zhu Yuanzhang saw it and said coldly: "What? Is it wrong for the political magistrate to hear this case?"
When Li Shanchang heard Zhu Yuanzhang's tone unhappy, he quickly knelt down on the ground and said, "Lord, lord, lord, lord, personally tried this case with the lord's posture. He has no objection to the humble position, but...?"
"Just what..." Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and shouted.
