Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 107 Shi Dakai: How did I become the boss?
The wind rises from Qingping, the waves form between the waves.

Just like political struggle, the most dangerous time is often the most peaceful time.

Because both sides want to reassure the opponent.

Tell the other party, I have put down the knife, good brother, don't worry, we have been through life and death together for so long, how could I attack you?
At this time, it's all about acting.

Whoever has good acting skills may make the opponent put down the knife first.

Then you can draw Leng Zi and stab the opponent to death.

For such tricks, Zhu Yuanzhang considers himself an old expert.

So now that he is already in Nanjing City, he can tell at a glance that compared to Yang Xiuqing's ruthless appearance and arbitrariness, Hong Xiuquan, who has been more careless in the past two years but has always firmly occupied the position of the supreme leader, has better acting skills .

He seems to have been giving in to Yang Xiuqing during this time, but in fact he wants to let Yang Xiuqing let go of his guard, and then suddenly attack one day and deal a fatal blow.

If Zhu Biao were here, he would definitely sigh.

Hong Xiuquan is an old man.

Time passes day by day.

Just one month after Shi Dakai returned to Beijing, Northern King Wei Changhui received Hong Xiuquan's secret order, quietly led troops into Nanjing City at night, and suddenly launched a surprise attack on Yang Xiuqing's mansion at two o'clock in the morning.

All of a sudden, there were shouts of killing everywhere, and countless people in the entire Nanjing city were alarmed.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Feng Sheng was watching this scene from a distance beside Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Since some people have forgotten their original intentions, let them die completely!"

"We will bring new life to the Taiping Army!"

A gleam of coldness flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes: "Mao Xiang, take our brothers who were placed in the Northern King's Army to the Heavenly King's Mansion, and slaughtered the Heavenly King's Mansion on Wei Changhui's order."

"Yes!" Mao Xiang respectfully agreed, turned around and left.

"Feng Sheng, you should act according to the original plan. When both the Heavenly King and the Eastern King are dead, you will send your elite soldiers into the city and surround and kill the Northern King Wei Changhui in the name of rebellion. Don't let his men escape. one person."

"Yes!" Feng Sheng agreed, and hurriedly disappeared into the night.

The city of Nanjing tonight is destined to be unstable.

Shi Dakai didn't bring many guards into Nanjing City, only more than 100 people. He took people to kill all night, first went to the East Prince's Mansion, and then found that there was already a river of blood here, and then took people to Tianwang's Mansion, and found that it was also blood Flow into a river.

This made Shi Dakai completely dumbfounded.

Even if the Heavenly King and the Eastern King fight, there must always be one person who wins!
What a trick for these two people to die together.

"Wing King...!" Just as Shi Dakai was bewildered and at a loss, Feng Sheng ran over with a vicious look on his face.

"King Yi, the Northern King Wei Changhui led troops into the capital last night and started a rebellion. He wanted to kill the Heavenly King and the Eastern King. Now he has been captured by us. Please deal with it, King Yi."

"Huh?" Shi Dakai was even more confused. Last night was chaotic. He didn't do anything in a hurry, so he ran around with people. In the end, the king of heaven, the king of the east, the king of the north, his immediate superiors died. The dead, the captured captured, he became the boss of the Taiping Army overnight?
This is too incredible!

"Take me there!" Although my heart became more and more uncertain, things still had to be done.

When he arrived with Feng Sheng and saw the scene, even though he had killed all the way from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, he still couldn't help his heart beat at this moment.

Dong Wang Yang Xiuqing died with a look of anger on his face, and he was stabbed eighteen times in a row, and the knife saw blood.

The heavenly king Hong Xiuquan also died with a look of astonishment on his face. He only got one knife on his body, but it was ruthless and accurate, aimed at the heart, and killed him with one blow.

"Wing King, I was wronged!"

"I received a secret order from the Heavenly King to enter Nanjing to eliminate traitors. I just led the troops to kill Yang Xiuqing, and never touched the Heavenly King with a single finger. You have to believe me!" Northern King Wei Changhui looked terrified.

"I believe you!"

"But even so, you are already unpardonable!" Shi Dakai said in a deep voice.

"Pfft!" Feng Sheng pulled out his knife suddenly, and Wei Changhui's head fell to the ground in a flash.

"Wing King is mighty, kill evil for our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, avenge Heavenly King and Eastern King, long live King Yi!" Feng Sheng took the lead and shouted.

The generals of the Taiping Army who also killed all night also shouted.

Anyone can see that Shi Dakai is the biggest winner when things have developed to the present situation. If he doesn't support him now, when will he support him.

Shi Dakai: "????."

"Did I say that I wanted to kill him directly?" There was a moment of astonishment on his face.

Then he came to his senses and fixed his eyes on Feng Sheng: "How did you catch Wei Changhui? As far as I know, he brought ten thousand elite soldiers into the city!"

"Of course I was ordered by King Yi to mobilize the elite from outside the South Gate into the town to suppress the rebellion!" Feng Sheng lied in front of Shi Dakai without changing his face.

Shi Dakai naturally knew that Feng Sheng was lying.

When he entered Nanjing, the elites stayed twenty miles away, traveling forty miles to and fro. When those people were transferred to Nanjing, the daylily might be cold.

And since Wei Changhui dared to do such a thing, how could he not control the city gates and let Feng Sheng transfer soldiers into the city so easily?
There are too many doubts here, and it simply cannot withstand careful scrutiny.

But now is clearly not the time to say that.

In one night, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Heavenly King, Eastern King, Northern King, and three high-ranking officials all died. This kind of incident is enough to shock the entire Taiping Army. If it is not handled properly as soon as possible, the great situation that the Taiping Army just created may be ruined in an instant. Lose.

This is something he doesn't want to see anyway.

"Chen Yucheng!"

"You quickly send people to inform the chief generals of the Taiping Army from all walks of life, so that they can't pursue them for the time being, and stabilize the military affairs as soon as possible, and come back to Tianjing to discuss important matters."

"Li Xiucheng, follow my orders and send [-] elite soldiers from [-] miles away into Nanjing City to guard all the city gates. There must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!" The two agreed in unison and left in a hurry.

"Feng Sheng, I leave it to you to handle it!"

"Properly arrange the remains of the Heavenly King and the Eastern King, and let them be buried in the ground as soon as possible. After finishing everything, come to see me at Prince Yi's Mansion!" Shi Dakai said in a deep voice.

His series of operations was tantamount to removing all of Feng Sheng's military power.

Feng Sheng could feel this, but he was originally Shi Dakai's subordinate, and Shi Dakai had no choice but to act like this.

And he doesn't need to do anything anymore.

His task has been completed.

Next is Zhu Yuanzhang's acting moment.

An hour later, Feng Sheng, who had disposed of the corpses of the three heavenly kings, entered Prince Yi's mansion with ease.

"Feng Sheng, do you want to give me a reasonable explanation?" Shi Dakai asked solemnly.

"I'm from Guangdong."

"To be precise, I'm from Daming." Shi Dakai was completely stunned by Feng Sheng's first words.

"My lord was in the city last night. Wei Changhui sent troops into the city to kill the Eastern King last night. My lord took advantage of the situation and led to the current good situation."

"Such a situation is probably the best for both the Taiping Army and our Lord."

"To be honest, if it wasn't for my lord, no matter whether Yang Xiuqing or Hong Xiuquan won this political struggle in the end, your title, King Yi, might not be guaranteed," Feng Sheng said.

Shi Dakai fell silent when he heard the words.

He is not a fool, how can he not see through the stakes in the middle.

He was too popular in the Taiping Army.

In the future, no matter whether it is Yang Xiuqing or Hong Xiuquan who dominates, after this rebellion, they will be greatly disappointed. At that time, they will be afraid that they will usurp their positions. It is certain that they will be suspected.

Thinking of this, Shi Dakai couldn't help laughing at himself.

"Then I have to thank your lord for saving his life?"

"That's not necessary, everyone takes what they need!"

Feng Sheng smiled and said: "If King Yi is convenient, you can go to Yuhuating outside Nanjing at noon tomorrow. My lord wants to meet you."

"Wait!"

Seeing that Feng Sheng was about to leave, Shi Dakai hesitated for a while and stopped him.

"Your lord is really Emperor Hongwu?" he asked.

"Hehe, you'll know when you see it tomorrow!" Feng Sheng left with a smile.

Shi Dakai behind him has a complicated expression on his face. He has seen Feng Sheng's excellence, otherwise he would not have been promoted all the way to the position of his confidant, but he is not his own at all.

Thinking of this, Shi Dakai couldn't help but sigh.

"Feng Sheng...Feng Sheng...!"

Shi Dakai muttered a few times, and suddenly his eyes widened suddenly. Over the years, because of the growing power of the Ming Dynasty in the south, he worked hard to find a few historical materials about the Ming Dynasty.

If he remembered correctly, one of the six founding dukes in the early Ming Dynasty was named Feng Sheng.

"He...couldn't be the Feng Sheng recorded in the history books!" Shi Dakai's face was full of shock.

At noon the next day, Shi Dakai quietly went to the appointment alone.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that he would come alone.

"You are brave enough!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

"I'm pretty brave!" Shi Da opened his teeth and smiled. He was born with supernatural powers, and he was also successful in martial arts. To be honest, ten or twenty ordinary people are really not his opponents.

Hearing what he said, Mao Xiang, who was standing behind Zhu Yuanzhang, smiled and said nothing.

Even a mere master of Huajin dared to be rampant, there were seven of them innately around here, if he wanted to kill Shi Dakai, Mao Xiang would just have to hook his fingers.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't get entangled in these matters, and went straight to the point: "Now that the Pingtian Kingdom has fallen into the hands of King Yi, what are your plans?"

Shi Dakai fell silent when he heard the words.

"Continue to fight the Qing court until the Tartars are destroyed and our Han family is restored!" Shi Dakai said firmly.

"But after this incident, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Taiping Army to be as pure as before!"

"Aside from other things, Hong Xiuquan, the second son of God, and Yang Xiuqing, the third son who could make the heavenly father descend to earth, died at the same time. This kind of thing hit believers far more than you imagined!"

Seeing that Shi Dakai remained silent, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the subject again and said, "Do you know why the Taiping Army can defeat the Hunan Army many times, but every time they can make a comeback?"

"The base of the Hunan Army is in Hunan. If I remember correctly, after the Taiping Army left Guangxi, Hunan was the first place to enter. As a result, your biggest opponent now comes from Hunan. Isn't that interesting?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Shi Dakai said a little irritably.

"You are too lenient with those gentry!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "We killed [-]% of the gentry in Guangdong. For this reason, we extinguished hundreds of civil strife, large and small."

"But after this battle, Guangdong Dading."

"You can go and see Guangdong today. It is very different from a few years ago."

"Although you claim to occupy half of the Qing Dynasty, you are actually just a few cities. Most of the areas outside the cities are still in the hands of those gentry. They are the masters of this world."

"As long as their hearts are full of Qing Dynasty, you will find frequent disturbances in the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom-occupied area, and you will be tired of coping. Am I right?"

Shi Dakai was a little irritable.

How does he know these things, he only knows how to fight.

"Conquering the world is easy, but governing the world is difficult!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with deep sympathy and continued: "If our expectations are correct, the Taiping Army's food and grass have already begun to be stretched?"

"Tax evasion is easy for those gentry."

"And if you don't have enough food and grass, how can you conquer the world?"

"Also, do you have an independent supervisory agency for the generals of the Taiping Army?"

"As far as I know, the gentry's most powerful method is to subtly corrupt and win over generals!"

"You have occupied a fertile land like Nanjing for several years. It is inevitable that such people will appear. If such people suddenly fight back at a critical moment, how do you deal with it?"

Shi Dakai felt his scalp tingling.

Originally, he thought that the regime of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was now stable. Even if it could not occupy the whole of China, half of the country south of the Yangtze River was already firmly established.

But now after what Zhu Yuanzhang said, this is not a secure position, it is simply in danger, and there is a possibility of overturning at any time!

"If it's true as Mr. said, how can we solve it?" Shi Dakai humbly asked for advice.

"There is no good way!"

"Either, like the Manchu Qing, delegate power to the gentry, but according to our observation, as long as the Manchu Qing can secure the throne, there is almost no bottom line. Now that even the gentry regiment training has been relaxed, you may not be able to do what they did."

"And those gentry who farm, study and manage their families, who claim to be noble, are unlikely to look up to a mud-legged regime like yours."

"Either let go and kill the gentry who dare to resist, so naturally the world will be peaceful."

In comparison, Shi Dakai naturally prefers the second method.

But this kind of thing is too dangerous and too difficult.

And if they killed all the gentry, it would be tantamount to cutting themselves off from the scholars. Then who will help them govern the place?
"We have a better way!" Seeing Shi Dakai's embarrassed face, Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

"What?" Shi Dakai's face showed hope.

"Bring the Taiping Army to join us!"

"Let's help you kill!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said.

The surging self-confidence between the words made Shi Dakai instantly moved.

To be honest, at this moment, he really felt a little bit of emotion in his heart.
