Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 250: Cheng can do it, why can’t you?

"These shameless writers deserve to be killed!"

Yin Keren, who participated in politics, also followed suit.

Simultaneously.

Yin Keren still advised Chen Youliang: "However, there is no need for the public to be angry at these shameless literati! They will know the consequences of inciting the common people to talk about bureaucrats and scholar-officials in the future."

Chen Youding said: "I'm not just angry with them, I'm also angry with that person named Zhang Cheng."

"You said he just ran a newspaper. Why do you use such easy-to-understand language to report on world affairs? Isn't this intended to make it easier for the people of the world to understand world affairs?"

"I think his Datong Society not only wants the people to be wealthy, but also wants the people to be enlightened!"

"If this continues, sooner or later the world will be filled with unruly people!"

After Chen Youding said this, he said to Yin Keren with some worry:
"I'm afraid that because of this "China News", the soldiers and civilians under his Datong Society will also hate this officer to the bone, and his military morale will be greatly boosted!"

Because he had to admit that what Yang Yuangao said was true. Zhang Shicheng had not suffered a big loss at the hands of Yuan Ting, but had only suffered a big loss in front of the Datong Society. It was indeed the Datong Society that he should be more afraid of.

Taifeiyin frowned at this time and asked coldly.

"This is not what I want!"

When Chen Youding and the Datong Society represented by Zhu Yuanzhang were about to meet, the people sent by Chen Youding to contact Yuan Ting also arrived at Yuanzuo Chengtai Feiyin, who was stationed in Jining.

"very good."

Yang Yuangao's words made Taifeiyin quite embarrassed.

Taifeiyin praised him loudly, then looked at Zhang Shide seriously and said, "Since my brother is indulged in pleasure and has no ambitions, it is better for me to raise my troops and go south. I will take my brother's place as the king of Zhang family and return to the imperial court."

Zhang Shide said with a helpless and guilty look at this moment:

But Tai Feiyin was not angry at all.

While talking, Tai Feiyin said to Zhang Shide: "Now all I need is that your brother is willing to join us in Dayuan, and take advantage of the time when the Datong thieves have no time to look north, lead his troops south to attack the Datong thieves, and we will surely seize the Datong thieves in one fell swoop. The entrenched Jiangnan!”

Tai Feiyin could only continue to say to Zhang Shide: "But do you really have the heart to see your Zhang family's foundation be annexed by Datong thieves in the future?"

Chen Youding was very moved after hearing this, so he stood up and bowed to Yin Keren. Therefore, he actually agreed to Yin Keren's request and let Yin Keren personally lead 30,000 troops to Yanping.

"Is he only afraid of Datong thieves and not me, Dayuan?!"

Zhang Shide replied without hesitation at this time.

"You know loyalty!"

Zhang Shide then said: "I would rather let my Zhang family return to the imperial court than to return the Zhang family to the Datong thieves!"

After Tai Feiyin learned about this, he immediately called Zhang Shide and Yang Yuangao and said: "Now the Datong thief Zhu Yuanzhang wants to personally conquer Chen Gong, the governor of Fujian, and this is undoubtedly an opportunity for us to use troops against the Datong thief to counter Chen Gong. A great opportunity!”

then.

"Unfortunately, Zuo Cheng doesn't know something. My brother has no ambitions now. He is only willing to tolerate the Datong thieves, and even flatters the Datong thieves. He has no intention of cheering up. Therefore, I am afraid that it will be difficult to persuade him to use the Datong thieves. "

After hearing what Chen Youding said, Yin Keren also nodded, and therefore took the initiative to ask Chen Youding for orders: "In that case, I am willing to personally defend Yanping. I would rather fight to the last man than let Zhu Yuanzhang's personal army pass Yanping!" "

Seeing this, Yang Yuangao hurriedly replied for Zhang Shide: "Zuo Cheng, calm down! Now I am afraid that because the strength of the Datong thieves has long been unmatched in the south, Zhang Shicheng is really only afraid of the Datong thieves. After all, he, Zhang Shicheng, has blocked the escape of the prime minister. The army of soldiers took off, but they never stopped the Datong thieves."

Zhang Shide was quite surprised after hearing this.

Yang Yuangao was also very surprised. He glanced at Tai Feiyin and murmured in his heart: "If Zhang Shide is allowed to betray Zhang Shicheng and raise his troops to go south, will this give our Datong Society the opportunity to increase the arms sales to Zhang Shicheng? "

"This one……"

"He is my elder brother after all."

"How could I betray my brother?"

Zhang Shide was a little hesitant.

Tai Feiyin stood up and looked at Zhang Shide solemnly: "This is not betrayal, this is salvation. The Lord is saving your brother, preventing him from becoming a Datong thief, and only letting him return to the court and become a righteous man of the court! Otherwise, You, Mrs. Zhang, will only die."

After Zhang Shide heard what Taifeiyin said, he thought about it seriously.

He thought to himself that his brother was indeed ineffective, unwilling to reform internal affairs, and unwilling to join the Yuan Dynasty. He would only blindly please the Datong Society. Therefore, he had long incurred the dissatisfaction of many bureaucrats and scholar-bureaucrats in his Zhou Dynasty who were disgusted with the concept of Datong, such as Mei Sizu and others. He often wrote to him to advise his brother.

Therefore, after Tai Feiyin said this and said that he would help him succeed, Zhang Shide gritted his teeth, knelt down and said: "I am willing to take orders to save my brother! Thank you Zuocheng for giving me Zhang the opportunity to serve the imperial court."

"Please get up quickly!"

Tai Feiyin was overjoyed and immediately helped Zhang Shide up and said, "I will help you with 10,000 cavalry and 30,000 stones of grain and grass! After you enter Gaoyou, I will ask for merit for you and let the court grant you a title. At that time, Then I asked the Duke to lead his army south to suppress the Datong bandits!"

"Yes!"

Yang Yuangao saw this scene in his eyes, and then informed Zhang Cheng of the news.

After Zhang Cheng learned the news, he ordered Qi Xiang: "Immediately inform the superiors about the matter. At the same time, after three days, inform Zhang Shicheng of the news and let him take precautions!"

Qi Xiang raised his hand and said yes.

Zhang Cheng then asked Qi Xiang: "Is there any new news from the Guards Department recently?"

Qi Xiang replied: "Chen Youliang is ordering all officers and generals to join the Fumin Society, and has ordered that the land he governs be cleared and the land divided." "This Chen Youliang is quite courageous."

Zhang Cheng said with a smile, and then asked Qi Xiang: "How is the progress of dividing the land among his father-in-law?"

Qi Xiang replied: "It's not ideal. The local big families such as Zou and Zhang all deliberately blocked it, so the concealment was very serious. It looked like a lot of land was divided, but in fact there was not much land divided. Instead, many landless people were left without a trace. There’s a lot more land to pay taxes on.”

"This shows the importance of being good at growing up."

"Shan Chang is unequivocal on the matter of dividing the land among the father-in-law."

Zhang Cheng nodded and said a few words.

Chen Youliang is indeed experiencing difficulties in reform.

He wanted to increase taxes and food revenue, but the powerful wealthy people naturally blocked him in every possible way for their own interests.

But Chen Youliang did not give in because of this.

He revolutionized domestic affairs as recklessly as he conducted military campaigns.

When he found that Zou Pusheng, Zhang Bixian and other bureaucrats were not actively responding to the reform, he directly ordered these people to be escorted in front of him and asked: "You should know that I don't like others to obey me!"

Zou Pusheng hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is all done by people below, and we don't know it either!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Enriching the People Society has just been established, and the officials there have limited knowledge. They don't really think that enriching the people is important. They just think that Your Majesty is doing the same thing as the Datong thieves. You want to treat the soldiers and the people harshly, so they don't care much about it." pursue."

Zhang Bixian also answered, and glanced at Chen Youliang cautiously, his body trembling slightly.

Although they agreed with Chen Youliang to implement the policy of Datong, they were not really willing to let Chen Youliang implement the policy of Datong and let their fields be divided by Qingzhang.

After all, if they accept the government of Datong, they might as well vote for Zhu Yuanzhang directly and become ministers like slaves in front of Chen Youliang, which is completely meaningless.

It's just that Zou Pusheng and Zhang Bixian didn't expect that Chen Youliang would arrest them directly.

"I don't care what the situation of the people below is. I know that Zhang Cheng, who followed Zhu Yuanzhang, did it, but you, as my important ministers, couldn't do it. This shows that you are incompetent."

Chen Youliang spoke coldly, and added: "Drag them out and chop them all!"

Zou Pusheng, Zhang Bixian and other important civil servants looked shocked.

They did not expect that Chen Youliang would compare them with Zhang Cheng.

"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"

"We admit that we are not as good as Zhang Cheng of Datong Society, and we are willing to give in to the better. We just ask Your Majesty to forgive us for our hard work despite not having any merit for the big man."

Zou Pusheng immediately shouted, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Zhang Bixian had no choice but to follow suit and said: "Your Majesty, please give me another chance. I am willing to follow the example of Zhang Cheng of Datong Society and actively open factories, build schools, and actively run newspapers."

"late!"

Chen Youliang said something.

Then, Chen Youliang left here, and only ordered his younger brother Chen Youren to be the grand master, and Zhou Wen to be the prime minister first.

Zou Pusheng, Zhang Bixian and others were taken to the execution ground, waiting to be executed.

This is Chen Youliang's style.

Although he had no choice but to implement the policy of great unity.

But in essence, he still treats others as if they were careless.

As long as others do not follow his intentions, he will not be tolerant.

Zhu Yuanzhang can also be regarded as a ruthless person, but Zhu Yuanzhang will be tolerant when he should be patient, and he will be tolerant when he should be tolerant.

Historically, Chen Youliang took the initiative to attack Zhu Yuanzhang twice. After Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang for the first time, he did not directly destroy Chen Youliang. Instead, he chose to tolerate it temporarily and only warned Chen Youliang. As a result, Chen Youliang could not bear the failure and continued to organize forces to actively attack Zhu Yuanzhang. The result was another disastrous defeat and immediate death.

Therefore, Zou Pusheng and Zhang Bixian were beheaded because they assisted Chen Youliang in implementing the Datong New Deal.

When Zou Pusheng was being taken to the execution ground, he couldn't help but said to Zhang Bixian: "Why do you think this happened?"

"Resign yourself to your fate!"

"If you let me die, how can I not die?"

"We are not as good as Zhang Cheng, so we deserve to die!"

Zhang Bixian looked away a lot and started talking at this time.

Zou Pusheng gritted his teeth because Zhang Bixian mentioned Zhang Cheng:
"What a Zhang Cheng! We were harmed by him!"

"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be in this situation!"

"One person brings disaster to the world. This person is more hateful than Wang Mang and An Shi!"

"What's the use of saying this? The world has changed greatly, and we ended up like this just because we were unwilling to follow the changes."

Zhang Bixian said with a wry smile.
