Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 204 Zhu Yuanzhang’s affirmation and serious military discipline

"Of course!"

Guo Tianxu replied with a smile.

Then, Guo Tianxu asked Wang Zhangqing: "Why did you take the initiative to help these people?"

"Sir, I have now joined the Military-Civilian Federation. The purpose of our association is mutual aid between the military and the civilians!"

"This is what Mr. Zhang asked us to set up a military-civilian association. Therefore, when we basically have nothing to do now, we will organize a special military-civilian mutual aid event. In normal times, we will also consciously help the people."

Zhao Zizhong puffed up his chest and replied.

After hearing this, Guo Tianxu nodded with great satisfaction, and couldn't help turning back to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Mr. Zhang's military-civilian alliance is so good! It's hard for him to imagine that our Second Army has really started to change its appearance because of this. From the past, it only knew how to bully the people. Now we are willing to take the initiative to help the people. No wonder we came all the way from Taiping and found that our Second Army was welcomed by the people and obeyed Mr. Zhang's words. "

then.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang took the initiative to mention Guo Zixing, Guo Tianxu couldn't help but think of his father, and he took the initiative to say to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"If Commander-in-Chief Father is still here, why would I need to recognize Mr. Zhang as my master, nor would I really want to be your enemy?"

What Guo Tianxu said is true. If Guo Zixing is still there and becomes king and emperor in the future, the person who can really challenge Guo Tianxu's status is Guo Tianjue, not Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang was just an adopted son after all.

Guo Tianjue is one of Guo Zixing's biological children, and he can replace Guo Tianxu at any time and become the successor to Guo Zixing's family business.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Guo Tianxu said, he was slightly startled and just laughed: "What are you talking about?"

"Yes!"

"What are you talking about?"

Guo Tianxu also smiled bitterly and replied.

"Mr. Zhang is more knowledgeable. It's difficult for him to use these clocks, glass, soap, and antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs. He is willing to take them out and not monopolize them, but let us rebels use them to make profits and enrich the country and strengthen the army."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the large number of various goods from Huimin Trading Company that appeared in the shops all over the street. When he talked about his feelings, he was also telling Guo Tianxu that they had not completely broken up now. As Zhang Cheng's role became greater, they Everyone should thank Zhang Cheng, and further thank Zhang Cheng for the concept of Datong Society proposed by Zhang Cheng.

Guo Tianxu nodded.

He knew what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

"I'll just go in and see what's going on?"

"Damn it, our Second Army also contributed to the victory of Jiqing City. Why should these Tatar dog officials have to go in and out only by your people!"

Coincidentally, when the relationship between the two half-brothers Zhu Yuanzhang and Guo Tianxu was gradually burying the hatchet, something happened in front of the old residence of Prince Huai of Yuanting as they passed by.

Song Guoyong, the guard commander of the Second Army, was leading his soldiers to break into the old residence of Prince Huai Mansion guarded by the Huben Camp Official School of the First Army. He was drunk, but was blocked by the Huben Camp Official School. When he got angry, he held a bottle of wine and yelled at the official schools of Huben camp.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and Guo Tianxu frowned.

Wang Zhangqing, the foreman from the top 100 households of Hubenying Official School, replied:
"If you can't enter, you can't enter. This is a strict order from Mr. Zhang! If you enter, it will be me who loses your head."

"Damn it, if you don't let me in, I'll take your heads first!"

Song Guoyong lost his temper and threw the wine bottle he was carrying at Wang Zhangqing on the spot.

boom!
Wang Zhangqing was caught off guard and was hit so hard that his head was filled with drink.

Seeing this, the official schools of Huben Camp all raised their firecrackers.

"Brothers, let's go in, find some money to buy wine, and find a Tatar woman to be happy!"

At this time, Song Guoyong threw the broken porcelain wine pot with only the handle on the ground, and then started talking, but then he laughed because he saw a row of firecrackers pointing at him: "Damn it. , Who are you trying to scare with this thing?"

Snapped!
Guo Tianxu came over angrily at this time and kicked Song Guoyong, knocking Song Guoyong upside down.

Then, Guo Tianxu took out the waist knife directly: "If you disgrace our Second Army, I will chop you up!"

Guo Tianxu still knows everyone from the Second Military Academy at the rank of Guard Commander.

Therefore, Guo Tianxu had long recognized that it was Song Guoyong, and because of this, he felt angry and wanted to kill someone.

Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped him at this time: "You should calm down. Remember, we all agreed with Mr. Zhang's military discipline to include the regulation that during non-war times, superior officers are not allowed to use subordinate officers and soldiers at will without signing documents. Don't forget it." !”

Song Guoyong also came to his senses at this time because of the kick. After shaking his head, he stood up in shock because he recognized Guo Tianxu: "Young Master, forgive me!"

Guo Tianxu did not actually stab Song Guoyong because Zhu Yuanzhang dissuaded him. He only ordered to his personal guards:

"Catch them, take them back, and ask for military punishment when the time comes!"

"Yes!"

Therefore, Guo Tianxu's personal guard Qian Commander Heizhang brought people over and arrested Song Guoyong and others.

"Son!"

"Son!"

Song Guoyong shouted loudly. Guo Tianxu ignored Song Guoyong and only darkened his face.

Guo Tianxu really feels embarrassed now.

Because he said in front of Zhu Yuanzhang that his Second Army had good military discipline, was popular with the people, and was particularly loyal to Zhang Cheng.

But the result came so quickly.

Song Guoyong, as the commanding officer of the Second Army Guards, not only drank too much, but also broke into the government property that Zhang Cheng ordered to be temporarily guarded by Huben Camp, and even smashed the head of Wang Zhangqing, an officer under Mr. Zhang of Huben Camp.

This made Guo Tianxu's initial good mood suddenly disappear because he saw Zhao Zizhong helping the people.

"What you did just now was very good!"

"This is what you should be like as a Privy Councilor. No matter what you do, you must have rules and regulations, and you must be able to control your anger. You cannot misjudge the future situation just because of the anger in front of you! That will harm not only yourself, but also yourself. It will also harm the entire cause!”

Zhu Yuanzhang affirmed Guo Tianxu at this time.

Guo Tianxu said nothing.

At this time, Feng Guoyong reminded: "Privilege Guo, the superior just praised you. As a minister, you should show your humility and not just say nothing. This is not the etiquette that should be expected between superiors and subordinates!"

"you!"

Guo Tianxu looked back at Feng Guoyong.

Afterwards, Guo Tianxu gritted his teeth and held back, nodded solemnly, and then bowed his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I was disrespectful. I thanked you for your advice just now. I should bear it in mind."

Zhu Yuanzhang helped Guo Tianxu up and smiled slightly: "It doesn't have to be like this, you and I are brothers!"

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to Wang Zhangqing and said, "You must have received an order from the Zhongshu Province to not prevent you from obstructing the governors from selecting officials."

"Yes."

As Wang Zhangqing spoke, he asked someone to open the door, stretched out his hand and said, "Please!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took Guo Tianxu and others in to have a look.

Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang said to Guo Tianxu and Feng Guoyong: "In our opinion, this is Prince Huai's Mansion as the Privy Council. It is close to Shuicheng and is convenient for urgent shipments. Military and military affairs have always been done quickly rather than slowly. Inform your personal guards. Pack up everything and move here in advance. In such a large palace, in addition to the front yard being enough to be used as a pledge room and the official hall, the backyard is enough to be divided into three courtyards: east, west and south, which can be used as backyards for our families. "

Guo Tianxu took the initiative to ask Zhu Yuanzhang: "You are a superior, and you also live here?"

"I'll live here temporarily first, and then move in after our Duke Wu's mansion is built!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he left Prince Huai's Mansion first.

As a result, the old residence of Prince Huai's Mansion became the Privy Council Yamen.

Zhang Tianyou still chose the Yushitai of the Jiangzhe River in the Yuan Dynasty as the Yushitai.

In Zhang Tianyou's view, this eliminates the need to move the supervisory data of the Yuan Dynasty censors in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that were originally sealed by the Yushitai.

Shao Rong chose the original Jiqing Road of the Yuan Dynasty to remind the imperial envoys to build the Dali Temple.

Because Shao Rong felt that the prison cells and torture instruments in the former Yuan Ting's Jiqing Road were ready-made, as well as the jailers and jailers, so he simply thought that this place should be turned into the Dali Sheriff's Office.

However, after Zhang Cheng found out about this, he still asked Shao Rong to take advantage of the cabinet's unified official examination in the future to replace a group of students from various professional schools run by him as new jailers and new widowers, so as to avoid the legacy of the Yuan Dynasty. The jailers and gangsters who gave orders corrupted the administration of justice.

Shao Rong naturally agreed to this.

After selecting the yamen, Zhang Cheng, as the chief minister of the cabinet, went to the office to ask Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, to set a time for the celebration ceremony.

Because they captured Jiqing City, the Rebel Army changed its name to the Chinese Army. It also determined what kind of national system it would establish in the future, and even granted a group of nobles. According to the rules set by the Chinese Army, a ceremony to celebrate the victory was held. Banquet.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to invite Zhang Cheng and Li Shanchang to the East Wing of the Privy Council, and said to them: "We haven't decided on a specific day when we will celebrate the victory. You asked them to prepare first. All we want to do now is Let me ask you, is your cabinet treasury short of money and food?”

"After all, the cabinet has to do a lot of things to benefit the people, and there is a lot of money to spend. If it is not enough, we can transfer the more than 50,000 pieces of silk and satin and 120 stones of raw silk to your official treasury first. For emergency use!”

"Right now, it's important to stop people from starving to death in Jiangnan."

"We learned through the inspection and investigation that there are still many hungry people on Jiqing Road who have starved to death because of the lack of harvest in this autumn flood and the excessive collection of taxes by the former Hu Yuan officials. They have not had time to wait for us to provide relief."

After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Zhang Cheng said: "We are not short of money yet, and the public is public and the private is private. If the private can join the public at will, the distinction between public and private will be in vain. Even if we are really short of money, When the time comes, the cabinet will continue to issue bonds, and the government will love the people, so we can buy more when the time comes.”

"In addition, if the superiors really want to make the country rich, they should spend more, especially buy some luxury industrial products. Do not expropriate them in the name of Duke Wu's government. After buying, they should take the initiative to pay high luxury taxes. This will set an example of actively paying taxes to the country. , also increases national tax revenue and promotes industrial development.”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "That's okay!"

then.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "It's just that after we learned about the tragic situation of those hungry people starving to death through the school inspection report, we couldn't help but think of our own parents, brothers and sisters-in-law. Now we just hope that no more people will starve to death as much as possible."

"You may have never been hungry, but the feeling is really unpleasant."

"Speaking of hungry food, I asked the good leader to come to Jiqing this time to bring a ship of new food that can alleviate the world's hunger problem. Your superiors may wish to come with us to the ship to take a look."

Zhang Cheng said with a smile at this time.
