Daming kill

Originally, Zhang Kuang wanted to leave the next day after returning to the city.

But it didn't work out.

Because when he went to say goodbye to Li Ping early in the morning, Li Ping said that he was going to get married the day after tomorrow and was about to send him an invitation.

When Li Ping gets married, Zhang Kuang, who is the supervisor of the army, must support him both in public and in private.

The thing of leaving can only be slowed down.

Regarding Li Ping's marriage, Zhang Kuang was very disturbed, but it was not surprising.

He just wasn't sure what Li Ping's real purpose in getting married was.

Zhang Kuang knew very well that after Li Ping defeated Zhang Xianzhong, Li Ping's marriage became the most concerned matter of Li Ping's subordinates, especially Li Ping's senior generals.

The reason is very simple.

The capital of Ming Dynasty was captured, the emperor of Ming Dynasty died, and Li Ping's army has actually become one of the most powerful military groups in the world. Naturally, Li Ping's marriage is no longer his personal matter. , but a matter for the entire group.

This involves the question of following.

Because even a fool knows that the world has changed and the future is uncertain, so hugging your thighs is the key.

But in this age, the life and death of individuals is too uncertain!

However, as long as the thighs are married and married, even if the thighs suffer misfortune, the group can still maintain a group under the name, and continue to have hope, and then continue to strive for the greatest benefits in the chaotic world.

To put it bluntly, the foundation or power can be stabilized and passed on.

And if the thigh is not married, and there is no offspring, then the thigh is dead, and the group can only fall apart.

No one wants to end up in a void.

But that's exactly the problem.

It seems normal to think so, but it's also not so normal!Because if you don't say it, you must have changed your mind, at least it means that you are no longer so loyal to Daming.

Of course Zhang Kuang was worried, he was very worried that Li Ping thought so.

Otherwise, based on the current situation, how could a man who is loyal to the court and worried about the world choose to get married at this time?
What made Zhang Kuang even more worried was that he was very afraid that Li Ping would be "added in a yellow robe" at the wedding and would cause some de facto rebellion.

Combined with the current situation, this is not impossible.

No matter how wise Li Ping is, he is only a young man in his early 20s after all, so he might be tempted sometimes.

That Zhang Kuang was embarrassing!

Because of anxiety and irritability, and at the same time not knowing what to do and what to do, Zhang Kuang quickly remembered Liu Rushi, so he decided to go to her place.

No, it should be Shen Ru.

Speaking of Liu Rushi, no one here knows about it, and no one dares to mention it.

Regarding the three daughters of Liu Rushi who were imprisoned, Zhang Kuang did not completely pretend to be crazy.

He just wasn't on Li Ping's premises, but he didn't turn a blind eye. He wasn't that kind of person.

In fact, Zhang Kuang has seen Liu Rushi and the three daughters several times.

And Liu Rushi's three daughters didn't make things difficult for him, and they could understand his difficulties, which made Zhang Kuang, who was alone and couldn't find anyone in Li Ping's army to talk to, willing to sit with them.

Of course, it is mainly to sit with Liu Rushi who understands the overall situation and speaks righteousness and has quite a lot of insights into the current situation.

But when Zhang Kuang arrived, he unexpectedly ran into Gao Lei again.

Gao Lei is embroidering with Dong Xiaowan under the shade of the big tree in the courtyard, and she still has no intention of leaving when she sees Zhang Kuang.

Just like that, I continued to embroider things quietly.

Originally, Zhang Kuang didn't know much about Dong Xiaowan, but because of their disappearances in Nanjing, his personal situation naturally spread widely.

You Qi left behind at the scene and finally confirmed their identities with the embroidered clothes that belonged to Dong Xiaowan.

Dong Xiaowan was born in the well-known "Dongjia Embroidery Village" in Suzhou City, and was forced to enter the Fengyue place after the age of 15. It can be said that embroidery is an important mark on Dong Xiaowan, and it has become a habit. Of course, it is also a superb skill.

Seeing Gao Lei, Zhang Kuang couldn't help being distracted.

But not taboo.

Not to mention Gao Lei, even the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion directly under Li Ping, who was in charge of guarding the place, never listened in or interfered with their conversations.

This is a typical outer strict and inner pine, otherwise Zhang Kuang would not be willing to come.

But it stands to reason that Gao Lei should be very busy at the moment, but now she has time to embroider here?
"Ever since the news about the marriage of the general who conquered the bandits, Ms. Gao has been here every day." Hearing what Liu Ru said, Zhang Kuang's complexion became even worse, and he felt that his thoughts were further confirmed.

Zhang Kuang has heard of the emotional entanglements between Li Ping, Gao Lei, and Zhao Lanyue.

So after entering the room and taking a seat, Zhang Kuang immediately confessed his worries.

Liu Rushi almost nodded her head and listened to it, and it was obvious that she was also worried.

The capital of Ming Dynasty was breached, and Li Ping, who had wiped out Zhang Xianzhong, stayed in Sichuan. Everyone knew that this was abnormal, and Liu Rushi was even less likely to be an exception.

Moreover, Liu Rushi did not embarrass Zhang Kuang in terms of their personal situation, and asked Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan not to embarrass Zhang Kuang, which also showed that she understood the overall situation and was also worried about the overall situation.

However, even though Liu Rushi frowned after listening to Zhang Kuang's chatter, he comforted Zhang Kuang after thinking for a while and said, "This is not the end of the matter. It doesn't matter whether the subordinates of General Zheng Zei have any intentions or not, what matters is that they are recruiting thieves." General's own mind.

General Zhengze's soldiers and horses were all brought out by himself, and his control was extremely strong. As long as he didn't want to, his subordinates had no ability to force him to do anything, and they didn't dare to force him.

As for General Zheng Zie, since he didn't stop you from leaving Sichuan to go to Nanjing to inquire about news, it also means that he has no intention of betraying Daming at the moment, so naturally he won't do any de facto rebellion. "

Zhang Kuang slapped his forehead violently, and suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened.

He realized that he was really confused for a while!

Zhang Kuang didn't believe in being "added in a yellow robe".

The subordinates were secretly preparing to release the yellow robes, but the boss didn't even know about it beforehand. How weak is the boss's control over his subordinates?
The addition of the yellow robe is just for acting, it can't be taken seriously.

As far as Li Ping's control over the troops is concerned, it is completely impossible to be "added in yellow robes", but Zhang Kuang himself was probably confused for a while because of too much worry.

Besides, considering Li Ping's IQ and usual practice, there is no need for him to turn his back on Daming now.

In particular, the principle of "accumulating grain widely, building walls high, and becoming king slowly" was the strategy of the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty.

Now it is more in Li Ping's interest to increase Mu Sheng's strength.

Therefore, even if Li Pingping's things were all ambiguity, and he had the intention of ambiguity, he would still deny it.

Zhang Kuang felt that he was right this time. He really couldn't think about many things by himself. No matter how smart a person is, there will always be things that he can't think about.

"Liu Jun, I've been taught." Zhang Kuang said sincerely, his heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that Liu Rushi's eyes were still dimming, and Li Xiangjun who was beside him obviously wanted to say something but held back. Even Dong Xiaowan stood at the door with a resentful face at some point.

Zhang Kuang was startled, and then said shamefully, "It's just this trip to Nanjing..."

"The Supervising Army's trip to Nanjing is very important and very necessary. But the matter of me, Xiangjun and Xiaowan here must not be leaked. Once it gets out, it will only force Li Ping to turn against him. He is sure about it." This is not a hindrance. When the time comes, all we willingly accept the changed name and endure here will be in vain!
Now that the country is in danger, we need a powerful army like the general who recruits bandits.General Zheng Zei himself is also a capable person who knows propriety and shame. What he is dissatisfied with is the decay and immorality of today's world, and he wants to find a way to make the universe clearer.

He should not betray Daming just for the sake of betrayal, but also be inspired by righteousness. "Liu Rushi said firmly without any hesitation.

Zhang Kuang's expression froze, and he immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Rushi.

Zhang Kuang was not surprised that Liu Rushi seemed to know Li Ping very well. He knew that although they were locked up, the information was not closed.

Not only did Li Ping not conceal the reason for their detention at all, but he also did not shy away from letting them know everything outside.

In addition to the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion guarding the three women who would tell Liu Rushi many things about the three women, Gao Lei who often came here would also bring a lot of higher-level information, and even Zhao Lanyue would often come to chat.

In particular, Zhao Lanyue showed a lot of respect and interest in Liu Rushi, and it was said that it was because of Li Ping's praise.

Both Zhang Kuang and Liu Rushi couldn't figure out how a person who had never been to Nanjing, and could not even have been to the south before, and who actually knew very little about Daming Fengyuechang, could understand Liu Rushi.

Even Liu Rushi himself was very confused about what he had to respect.

Especially from Zhao Lanyue's mouth, Liu Rushi knew that Li Ping was very disgusted with the Donglin Party, thinking that it was just a group of sanctimonious hypocrites, a group of defenders of local self-interest, and a group of ignorant talkers.

Zhang Kuang and Liu Rushi actually couldn't understand the powerful attraction and curiosity of Liu Rushi's celebrity aura to Zhao Lanyue and Gao Lei.

The level of knowledge of the three women, their level of experience in affluent areas, and their more open minds because they were in special industries also made them less alienated from modern people, and they are very attractive to modern people who lack communication partners.

But none of this matters.

The important thing is that this allowed Liu Rushi and the three daughters to understand the dynamics of Li Ping's entire army, including everything outside. discuss.

For example, in the following conversation, Zhang Kuang finally understood why Li Ping refused to release many ordinary captives of the Western Army, including those women, children, old and weak, and also imposed heavy forced labor on them?
You must know that most of these ordinary captives of the Great Western Army were captured by Zhang Xianzhong in Wuchang, Changsha, Hengzhou and other places before entering Sichuan, especially Changsha, which had not experienced the war at that time, was almost completely captured.

Even in another time and space, after years had passed since Zhang Xianzhong left and when the Qing soldiers arrived in Changsha, there were less than a hundred households in the entire huge city of Changsha, and there were basically no residents of Changsha city.The extent to which the population outside the city withered can be imagined.

The fact that a provincial capital city is like this is not entirely due to Zhang Xianzhong's credit, and there are also factors of the subsequent war, but Zhang Xianzhong is undoubtedly the main reason.

Of course, this also fully explained what the main components of the Great Western Army were. Many were new thieves, and they were also pure ordinary people, and many of them were not even qualified to be soldiers, and they might not even be qualified to be strong and shouting.

Even if these people do bad things, they can't do much, at least most of them are far from heinous.

so why?
It just so happened that Zhao Lanyue came here yesterday and answered the question that Liu Rushi also raised at that time.

According to Zhao Lanyue, Li Ping mainly considered that enough manpower was needed for construction.He did not agree with the previous policy of corvee in the Ming Dynasty, and he also hated it deeply. It would be better not to release people after they were released through corvee, causing public resentment and administrative duplication.

In addition, they urgently need to build a large number of workshops such as steel, textiles, gunpowder, and papermaking to prepare for the next war and to meet the general material needs of the military and civilians as soon as possible.

Li Ping believes that food is of course very important, but workshops are also very important, and even from a material point of view, they are the key to the success or failure of a war.

But the current reality is that the land is far away. Once people are released, most people will choose land. This is the nature of Chinese people.

In this way, it is very difficult for the workshop to recruit people, and without enough manpower, the workshop cannot produce enough materials.Without enough supplies, the lives of soldiers and civilians will be very difficult, and they will not have the ability to support war.

Therefore, Li Ping can only be a villain.

Even in the future, Li Ping will keep many people from owning land, which will be one of his basic policies.

Li Ping has never recognized unlimited freedom, and believes that interests should be relative and limited, and firmly opposes rule by doing nothing.

For politics, he must first consider the top-level design. If there is a problem with the top-level design, many things will go wrong, and no matter how hard he tries, it will be difficult to solve it.

For Zhao Lanyue's explanation, Liu Rushi and Zhang Kuang seemed to understand it, but they didn't seem to understand it. As for the various new words, they were already used to it.

Zhao Lanyue is actually packaging Li Ping as a social reformer and pioneer who is concerned about the country and the people, and is not afraid of being notorious for this.

In fact, this is exactly a saying that is currently popular among the entire Li Ping army.

Before he knew it, Zhang Kuang and Liu Rushi talked for a long time, and he didn't even notice that Gao Lei went to the door and listened quietly for a while.

And after listening, Gao Lei returned to the shade of the tree, gently stroked Dong Xiaowan who was sobbing with her head down, and then sighed softly.
