Chapter 162: Enlightenment in Prison

The set of military rules formulated by Zhang Ximeng looks very complicated, but in fact it is very simple. As long as you distinguish them, it is easy to understand... For example, there are military appearances that require neat clothes and cloaks, regular baths, pay attention to personal hygiene, and not urinate or defecate anywhere, etc.

There are also military finances. For example, military pay must be distributed to each soldier, and military supplies are not allowed to be deducted, and military supplies are purchased. No inferior products are allowed to be used as good ones, and no shortages are allowed. Expenditures must be made public regularly and reviewed.

The other is the personal behavior of soldiers, such as not being allowed to gamble, not being drunk, not being allowed to visit brothels, etc.

The rest, such as obeying military orders, seizing them to the public, keeping secrets, etc., are regulations on combat... So after sorting out, we will find that these regulations can be regarded as reasonable and not too complicated.

But the problem is that in the eyes of some newly surrendered generals, this is too unforgivable.

How to take care of everything, how to eat, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink, defecation and urination.

Will you give them some power?

Which army in which one does not have its own troops under its control?

Then how can we command soldiers to fight in the future? What should they do if they are not afraid of us and do not obey military orders?

There were a lot of noises everywhere, but it was obvious that these people didn't dare to target Zhang Ximeng directly. Moreover, since they had just joined the enemy, there was no one around Lao Zhu who could speak, so they could only complain.

Of course, they have another way, which is to leave with the initiative and find another way out.

Isn’t it okay to invest in the country?

Some Yuan troops in Chizhou were preparing to jump over and over again.

However, before they could take action, a batch of military rations was sent from Hezhou.

This is a very amazing thing. As we all know, Hezhou has just experienced wars, and the 100,000 soldiers are making a fierce spree, and many crops in places have been destroyed.

No matter how you look at it, it will only reduce production and suffer heavy losses.

Even so, will Hezhou still deliver food?

Facts have proved that not only have, but also have a lot!

The destruction of war is obvious, but another thing cannot be ignored.

That is, after militias were widely formed in various places, it was difficult for the Yuan army to enter the countryside, burn, kill and loot. Moreover, Lao Zhu left Hezhou City to the Yuan army.

In this way, comprehensive estimates show that Hezhou's summer grain has only lost about 15% of it.

In addition, since a large number of prisoners were captured, Li Shanchang directly ordered the prisoners to participate in the summer harvest. In this way, the labor force was sufficient and the food did not have to be rotten in the fields. It was definitely a bumper harvest for the people of Hezhou.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng's longing for summer harvest finally had hope. The first batch of 50,000 stones of grain was transported to Jiangnan, and there were more in the future.

Facing the fragrant japonica rice, the soldiers below finally had nothing to say, especially the soldiers of the Chaohu Navy. Luzhou and Hezhou were not far away, so they could see how the people of Hezhou were doing.

Many families wrote letters to soldiers, telling their children to follow the position and strive to give land as soon as possible, get the land one day earlier, and cultivate one day earlier. During the autumn harvest, our family can eat white rice.

On one hand, there is the family’s eager expectations and the generals’ complaints. Which side should we listen to?

Most soldiers still made smart choices. They are sincerely good to us. Don’t be stupid. Over the years, who has really given us a lot?

At this moment, the Zhu family army in Jiangnan was in a very strange state... Some of the generals above were reluctant, thinking that there were too many constraints, too little power, and too poor treatment. We were not allowed to deduct military pay, and would we still let people live?

But ordinary soldiers also think that being on the top is a good person and should follow him. However, they lack a leader and cannot say anything in their hearts.

After all, it is still a problem. No matter how talented or brilliant the methods you are, people still need to implement them. Only by doing the publicity can you get the support of soldiers.

Zhang Ximeng had no better way, so he could only try to transfer veterans from Jiangbei, and then select a group of literate people from among the veterans, with good tempers, and reasonableness, and enrich them among the recruits, reasoning and doing their work.

Zhang Ximeng also took the time to talk to ordinary soldiers, understand their situation, and guided them to express their feelings... In short, the effect is pretty good, but the efficiency is still not high.

It seems that the shortcoming thing is the kind of flexible and vivid that can touch people the fastest... Just as Zhang Ximeng was thinking, Timur came first. Not only did he come, but he also brought two young people.

"Thank you for your life-saving kindness! Great kindness, great virtue, unforgettable!"

Yesen Timur knelt on the ground, burst into tears from the heart.

The two young men were a little uncomfortable and knelt down.

The older brothers are called Halazhang and the younger ones are called Sanbaonu.

They are brothers, and their father is famous, the Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty, Tutuo, who was dismissed not long ago!

That's right, some time ago, Timur begged to save his two nephews, and the Zhu family army did it.

When uncle and nephew met, they cried so much that they were so grateful.

Tuotuo was sent to Yunnan, and news has already come that Tuotuo was assassinated and was already dead.

The struggle of the Yuan Dynasty has always been like this, and we will never show mercy.

As Tuotuo's two sons, Halazhang and Sanbaonu will definitely not have a good end. It can be said that their lives are hanging on the line. How can Yesian Timur not be grateful if the Zhu family army can save people!

But, in fact, he thought things too badly, because in history, the two brothers of Halazhang were just exiled. After all, there were too many people who sympathized with Tuotuo, and everyone tried their best to save it, and the two children survived.

And a few years later, the Yuan Dynasty was so desperate that it remembered Tuotuo again and rehabilitated him. Halazhang was transferred back to Dadu and served as the political affairs of Pingzhang. Later, he gave up his past grudges and was loyal to Emperor Shun of Yuan. It was not until Lan Yu went to the north to defeat Halazhang. His descendants surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, but this guy still insisted on harassing the border and was a dead and stubborn stubborn faction.

But in this time and space, the situation has changed a little.

Zhang Ximeng's transformation of the captives of the Yuan court actually brought unexpected results. Yesen Timur begged the Zhu family army to take action and rescue his two nephews, and this is indeed the case.

The man was rescued. As Tuotuo's eldest son, Halazhang grew up with the crown prince when he was a child. The two even slept in the same bed, and they were the best friends.

Gu/span>Now they fell to the Zhu family army, making these two young people uncomfortable. They knew that their uncle would not harm them, but their uncle's actions were really incomprehensible.

"We are Mongolians and ministers of the Yuan Dynasty. How can we follow the thief?"

Faced with the stubbornness of his two nephews, Yesian Timur was so angry that he fell backwards.

"I'm so confused! Your father is loyal to the Yuan Dynasty? What's the result? He was framed and ended up miserably! Is this court worthy of your life?"

Halazhang was so angry that he was also dissatisfied with his father's fate, but after all, they were also Mongolian nobles. When they came to the Red Turban Army, the fate would be even worse, right?

"Your Majesty is blinded for a moment. Sooner or later, your Majesty will think clearly, rehabilitate my father and let us return to the past..."

"Pooh!"

Yesen Timur spat Hara Zhang hard.

"Bastard, fool! Who can kill your father without the will of the dog emperor? They have already revealed it, so why are you still deceived yourself? Even if you rehabilitate your father in the future, it is to clean up people's hearts and survive... But I tell you both that since your father was dismissed, the Yuan Dynasty has been over, and it is completely beyond salvation. From top to bottom, from inside to outside, it is rotten and unsuccessful! Early or late, you will be overthrown. The Zhu family army is bold enough and has a world of mind, and is not bad for us Mongolians. Don't worry, be an ordinary person honestly. Isn't that good?"

These two brothers look at me, let us be ordinary people, we don’t know how to do it!

How can you be willing to endure hardships when you are rich and wealthy!

Yesen Timur had no choice but to face this situation.

"Mr. Zhang, I plan to lead them to work, farm and eat by themselves, so that they can learn to support themselves and be an ordinary citizen, and hope that they can be satisfied."

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "It doesn't mean anything else to get them over. If the Yuan court does something bad, we have to correct the situation and make it strongly. However, they are young and nostalgic for the past. There is no unforgettable pain. It is not easy to repent in a short period of time. You must be patient and let them correct their problems bit by bit. Tell me directly if there is any difficulty, and I will definitely help solve it."

Yesen Timur nodded repeatedly, thanks very much.

But at this moment, someone suddenly ran in, and the person who came was Guo Ying!

"Not good!"

Guo Ying immediately said to Zhang Ximeng: "Sir, according to the news sent, Wu Datou was arrested in Handan!"

"What?"

Zhang Ximeng was shocked, "What's going on? He didn't rescue the person, why did something happen?"

Halazhang and Sanbaonu also widened their eyes. They saw their uncle's letter and were taken to a troupe and then taken out of Dadu.

Later they found out that the troupe was actually from the Zhu family army. The leader's surname was Wu and was known as the head master Wu. Why, he was arrested to save himself?

Guo Ying said: "Wu Datou was worried that there were many people and had a big goal, so he sent someone to send them to the south of Shandong and then to Hebei by himself, but ended up falling into the hands of the Yuanting in Handan!"

When Zhang Ximeng heard this, his eyebrows were deeply furious and he was quite disappointed.

In fact, Zhang Ximeng has gradually realized the value of Wu Datou, and the propaganda power he represents, which is the trump card of the Zhu family army.

If he had returned to the beginning, he might not have agreed to Wu Datou to go north.

Now such an important person has fallen into the hands of the Yuan army. It is really hateful!

"Can you find a way to save someone?"

Guo Ying was stunned, "Sir, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with. We don't have that much power."

"Then, can we return it? There are many prisoners here... Tujian, Naha, and there are so many soldiers. As long as the Yuan court agrees, we will send the person over. We must ensure the safety of Wu Datou! This person must be brought back for me!"

Guo Ying grinned. He knew that this was not easy, but Zhang Ximeng said that he had to do it. Moreover, Wu Datou was indeed not an ordinary performer. He was a member of the army and a brother of the big guy.

Just as the news spread, more and more soldiers were alarmed, especially those who had watched Wu Datou's performance, came here. No matter what, the big head master should not be injured!

The dark crowd, hundreds of soldiers, all came to speak for Wu Datou.

Faced with this situation, Yesian Timur was shocked. Wu Datou actually had such prestige? I really don’t know if there were so many ordinary soldiers who were willing to stand up when his brother was dismissed?

"Don't worry, no matter what, I will do my best to not abandon or give up. As long as the conditions are acceptable, I will definitely try my best to save Wu Datou!"

Zhang Ximeng expressed his opinion to everyone here, and a loud voice came again, "Preparing one hundred prisoners, one hundred is not enough, only one thousand! Even if there are ten thousand, Wu Datou will be replaced!"

The person who spoke was Zhu Yuanzhang. With Lao Zhu's statement, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If nothing unexpected happened, Wu Datou should be able to come back smoothly!

Just when he was extremely anxious about Wu Datou, Wu Datou was in the cell in Handan, drinking with the prison head.

"You know why I'm not afraid? Because I'm clean in my heart, life and death are important, but I can't be cowardly in my life. Do you believe that if I die, hundreds of people will stand up and attend my funeral."

The prison head sighed and suddenly said, "Master Wu, don't mention others, I am also a Han Chinese. I have been in prison for a long time and have seen too many things. The Mongolians are like killing a beast. You are fighting against the court. If you don't want to lose your head for eating, I want to save you!"

Wu Datou smiled and waved his hand, "Don't think so... I'm also a Mongolian. I admit that there are many Mongolians who do evil, but those Han officials, including Li Siqi and Chen Yexian, are these Han people who killed the rebel army for the Yuan court, good people? After all, we are all poor people. Zhu Yuanzhang's butt is sitting on the side of the poor. Wu Datou obeys him and is willing to do things for him. Even if he loses his head, it's worth it!"

Wu Datou paused again, patted the prison head's shoulder and said, "My case is too big. The Yuan court will not let me go, so don't think about it. But from now on, if you encounter any grievances, you can at least do your best, even if you let them eat a little bit, drink some clean water, and suffer less, this is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. There is nothing else, when we come to power, you may be able to survive!"

The prison head nodded vigorously, "Master Wu, I remember it, I will never forget it even if I die."

After drinking two more drinks, the prison head sighed and asked, "Master Wu, can you tell me again? Why is Zhu Yuanzhang worthy of your life?"

Wu Datou smiled, "Okay! I'll tell you... The greatest virtue in our superiors is equal fields. Every household, regardless of gender, age, gives food to the land to live, and pay fair taxes. Do you know? We don't need officials to go down to collect them. The people recommend the grain chief themselves and send the taxes to the top..."
