Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 196 Changshan Zhao Zilong

"Now we have two strategies for dealing with the Three Kingdoms plane."

"First, take the opportunity of "suppressing" the Yellow Turban Army to become a powerful force in Jizhou, and then manage Jizhou."

"As a big northern state, Jizhou's gentry are not very powerful. Most of them are powerful. The only aristocratic family should be the Yuan family. However, the Yuan family's main power is now in Sili, and they don't care too much about Jizhou. This gives us a chance to completely win Jizhou."

"And the most important thing is that because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the political ecology of Jizhou is very chaotic now. Bandits everywhere are looting. The powerful died, the wounded and the wounded.”

"This time is the most suitable time to fish in troubled waters. If there is such a powerful Zhu family fighting in Jizhou at this time, maintaining the rule and order of the Han Empire, "retracting" the Yellow Turban bandits, and stabilizing the situation in Jizhou, the local tyrants in Jizhou will definitely be won. Supported by him, and famous all over the world."

In Fengtian Hall, Zhang Juzheng was talking eloquently.

This is the strategy plan that Daming came up with after a series of investigations into the Three Kingdoms plane.

This set of plans was made by the cabinet based on the information detected by Jin Yiwei, which took half a month and was approved and approved by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The plan is actually very simple. As a noble family in Jizhou, join the powerful noble family, and according to their rules and playing methods, mobilize the huge manpower and material resources of Ming Dynasty to defeat them.

The advantage of doing this is obvious, and it will not arouse the resentment and hostile rejection of local tyrants.

At the same time, relying on a big industrial country like Daming, with countless material aids, it will not touch the interests of many local tycoons in Jizhou at all. Even if they are willing to cooperate, everyone in Jizhou, from the aristocratic family to the common people, can benefit from Daming's benefit from aid.

It can be said that implementing this plan, winning the entire Jizhou, and dividing up and attracting all the powerful Jizhou is a sure thing. Whether they come soft or hard, Zhu Yuanzhang can deal with it calmly, and there is no possibility of failure.

And you can also make a name for yourself.

After all, at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang will become a hero who suppressed the entire Jizhou Yellow Turban Army.

This may seem useless, but the current political ecology and gameplay in the last years of the Han Dynasty are like this. Only with fame will those aspiring civil servants and military officials from all over the world flock to it and turn it into their own use.

In the future, including Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian, they will earn their first pot of gold in this way, and use this to gain momentum.

The three of them are actually from powerful backgrounds. After Cao Cao became an eunuch, Sun Jian was originally a petty official. He won a serious official position only after he made great contributions in quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion by virtue of his own bravery.

Liu Bei is even worse. Although he is a royal family, his family fortune has long since fallen, and he also gained the capital for promotion during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

It can be said that if you want to attack the entire Three Kingdoms plane while minimizing casualties, you can only play this way.

After all, the current situation at the end of the Han Dynasty is that the aristocratic families are powerful, they monopolize knowledge and land, and those truly capable civil servants and generals are mostly from aristocratic families. This is a fact that has to be admitted.

If Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to win over the civil servants and military generals of the Three Kingdoms, he could not stand on the opposite side of them. It was impossible to directly destroy all the aristocratic families as he did in the late Qing Dynasty.

That would have cost too much.

However, the so-called tyrannical status is also temporary, just to make those gentry lose their vigilance. What he wants is Jizhou, which is a base that can be fully controlled.

Then, on this base area, he showed his political principles and ideas, so that everyone in the world can take a good look at what the Three Kingdoms plane will look like under the governance of Ming Dynasty.

this point is very important.

Because after his investigation, the current Three Kingdoms plane is actually an era of extremely intense ideological collisions, and many insightful people are thinking about what the future of the great man is.

Among the gentry, not all are fools who only care about one family, and many people are also actively making suggestions for the future of the big man.

It's just that in the original history, all attempts ended in failure, and it was the conservatives among the gentry who finally gained the upper hand.

And what Zhu Yuanzhang has to do is to provide them with another feasible development direction.

Zhu Yuanzhang also believes that those like-minded people of insight who are willing to think about the common people will eventually unite under his command.

"Your Majesty means that you want us to act as a rebel army from a wealthy family?" After Zhang Juzheng's explanation, Zhang Jiao quickly understood Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning and couldn't help asking.

If he hadn't heard Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal before coming to Daming, let alone Zhang Jiao, the rest of Zhang Liang and others would definitely be in trouble.

The reason why they rebelled is because under the rule of the Han Empire, they have no hope of promotion, and at the same time they also believe that the princes and generals have something to say!
How could he be a powerful running dog?

But now with a big backer like Daming, their thinking has naturally changed.

Because what they have been fighting for all their lives can be easily obtained in Daming.

They are already the military officers of the Ming Dynasty, and they have obtained promotion channels, and they may even become marquises and worship generals in the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Naturally, no matter what status Zhu Yuanzhang asked them to return to the Three Kingdoms plane, they would have no complaints.

"That's right!"

"The identity of the Yellow Turban Army is already rotten. The gentry and tyrants of the world have joined hands to suppress it. Using this identity will not do us much good. Instead, we will suffer great pressure and malice for no reason."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Jiao and the others and said with a smile, "With the identity of the Yellow Turban Army, we will be thankless."

"But as long as we change our identities, we can immediately jump out of the embarrassing situation."

"Besides, haven't the elite and cronies of the Yellow Turban Army been gathered back by everyone?"

"Those Yellow Turbans who are still active outside are either bandits who took advantage of the situation, or uncontrolled rioters at all. At least the so-called Yellow Turbans left in Jizhou should have little to do with you, right? "

Zhang Jiao and the others looked at each other when they heard the words, and they all nodded.

Indeed, although they claim to have tens of thousands of people, those people are actually just a joint uprising. If they are really counted, they are divided into several commanders who do not interfere with each other, just like the Red Turban Army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhang Jiao, a great virtuous and good teacher, is just a leader in name just like King Xiao Ming in the early Ming Dynasty.

"In this case, there is nothing to hesitate."

"As long as we can make great contributions in suppressing the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, we may be rewarded by the court, and maybe even get a half-job!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile on his face.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the faces of Zhang Jiao and others suddenly became a little strange.

They themselves are the Yellow Turban Army, but now they want to suppress the Yellow Turban Army in turn to seek an official position in the court, which sounds a bit magical.

But now after what Zhu Yuanzhang said, it seems that this is not impossible!
Zhang Jiao's heart was also a little shaken, because he realized that doing so might really have the possibility of revitalizing the backwater of the Yellow Turban Army.

After all, they are not fighting alone now, the Ming army is standing behind them!
To be honest, the Yellow Turban Army is his painstaking effort, and he 1 doesn't want to watch the Yellow Turban Army be wiped out by the court.

If Zhu Yuanzhang's method can be used to retain the elite of the Yellow Turban Army, although they are preserved in another capacity, it is enough for Zhang Jiao to be gratified.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

A message began to spread throughout Jizhou.

Unbearable to be harassed by the Yellow Turban Army, Zhu Biao, a righteous man from Ping Township, Julu County, Jizhou, united with eight nearby heroes and spent all his wealth to recruit [-] rebels to fight against the Yellow Turban Army.

As soon as the news came out, it quickly spread throughout Jizhou. In just half a month, officials, tycoons, and even county guards from all over Jizhou sent their children to Pingxiang to meet Zhu Biao. I want him to lead the army to continue to wipe out the Yellow Turban rebellion in Jizhou.

For this reason, heroes and officials from all over the country expressed their willingness to provide some food and grass support for Zhu Biao, and were even willing to recommend Zhu Biao to the imperial court as Xiaolian in exchange for Zhu's army to go to the imperial court.
"See it!"

"This is the weakness of the gentry class. They dare not confront the Yellow Turbans head-on. Seeing that we are capable of fighting the Yellow Turbans and maintaining local order, they immediately sent property and food."

"But they can't see that the knife in our hands can also kill them!" Zhu Yuanzhang, who was watching the whole process, sighed and said to Zhu Biao after Zhu Biao sent away a wave of family children who came to lobby. .

"Father, what should we do next?"

"Should we agree to their request and expand our influence from Julu County?" Zhu Biao asked.

"Let us do the affairs of Jizhou. It's just a Jizhou. It's easy to take it down. You don't need to worry about it."

"Biao'er...!"

Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder and said, "If dad wants you to compete with the heroes of the world, would you dare to go?"

"Father means...?" Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he already vaguely understood what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted him to do.

"We are the only ones here, so we don't have to go around. The Three Kingdoms is very important to us, because the upper limit of civil servants and generals here is extremely high. People like the Ming Empire will definitely occupy a place in the future. If you can make them completely If I believe in you, then your position as Emperor of the Ming Empire will be as stable as Mount Tai in the future."

"That's why we want you to be like Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others, take this opportunity to fight the Yellow Turban Army to officially become an officer of the Han Empire, and represent the Ming Empire as a vassal in the future."

"Although we don't have the dazzling family background of four generations and three princes like the Yuan family in the Han Dynasty, but you have the support of the entire Ming Empire behind you, and we believe that you will not be weaker than those heroes." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Father, you are old and still alive!"

"I never thought about being emperor!" Zhu Biao grinned.

He was telling the truth, being an emperor was too tiring.

It's good now. Being a prince, with Lao Zhu on top to control the general direction, and Zhu Xiongying on the bottom to handle complicated government affairs, he couldn't be more comfortable.

He wished Lao Zhu could live a long life!
And this is not impossible to achieve, the current imperial dragon energy has the effect of prolonging life, according to Zhu Biao's speculation, there is no problem at all for Lao Zhu to live another 100 years.

But soon Zhu Biao noticed something was wrong, because Lao Zhu looked at him more and more unkindly, and the hands that patted his shoulders gradually increased.

This made Zhu Biao smart, and quickly changed his words: "But I am willing to do this. I will be a hero in the world for a while on the battlefield. Don't worry, father, I will definitely not be worse than anyone else!"

"it is good!"

"This is our Zhu Yuanzhang's son!"

"Like you did before, what does it sound like to lie flat and enjoy yourself all the time!"

"A good husband and a good man should fight in all directions." Zhu Yuanzhang grinned in satisfaction when he heard Zhu Biao's assurance.

Zhu Biao couldn't help grinning when he heard this.

I just mentioned it before and said "Lie flat", but Lao Zhu remembered it.

"We have prepared three thousand elites for you, and at the same time let Mu Ying, Lan Yu, Zhang Jiao and Ma Yuanyi come with you in disguise."

"They are all ready, let's go now!" Zhu Yuanzhang has a vigorous character, and now that he has made a decision, he immediately urges Zhu Biao with a wave of his hand.

Zhu Biao: "...!"

Two hours later, Zhu Biao led three thousand troops and left Julu County.

According to Jin Yiwei's informant, the nearest to Julu County is Huangpusong, and they are going to join Huangpusong.

"Your Majesty is willing to let His Highness be implicated. I really didn't expect that!"

During the march, Sapphire couldn't help saying.

"I think this is good!"

"In the future, there will only be more and more dangers. Your Highness will have to face them sooner or later. It is better to face the headquarters sooner or later."

"Not to mention our protection!" Mu Ying also arrived.

Zhu Biao couldn't help grinning when he heard this.

He felt that the two battalion commanders of the special warfare battalion seemed to have forgotten his combat effectiveness.

It seems that the No.1 position on the Wusheng Pagoda list is still firmly occupied by him!
I dare not say that his military strength is the best in the world, but in the entire Ming Dynasty, including the current Three Kingdoms plane, there may be someone who can defeat him, but I am afraid that there is really no one who can kill him.

Even he himself doesn't know how many cards he has!
If it weren't for this, how could Zhu Yuanzhang rest assured that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of the Ming Empire, was implicated?
The marching speed of the people is not fast, and they can cover more than 50 miles in one day and one night.

In the evening of the same day, near the border of Changshan County, Zhu Biao was about to order to set up camp.

A white horse led hundreds of people galloping from a distance suddenly, and happened to bump into Zhu Biao's men and horses.

"Be alert!" Sapphire, who was in charge of the outer security, immediately reminded everyone, and soon three thousand well-trained elites quickly formed a battle formation and waited.

"May I ask who is on the other side?"

"I'm going down to Changshan, Zhao Zilong. I don't know why your army entered Changshan?" At this moment, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from a distance.
