subvert the late Tang Dynasty

The next day, Zhu Wen explained to Huang Chao the importance of rectifying military discipline, and Huang Chao also very much agreed with Zhu Wen's ideas.But he also knows that rectifying military discipline cannot be accomplished overnight, it is a long-term policy, and there is no rush, it can only be changed slowly.

Zhu Wendao: "Now that we have formally established the government office, we can no longer settle everything with the rules of the rivers and lakes like before. All the loyalty of the rivers and lakes must be put aside in front of the military law. That is, no matter how much credit a person has, as long as he violates Military law is also subject to punishment. It cannot be pardoned or aggravated because of personal grievances with a certain person. Everything must be handled fairly. Only when we set an example in this way will the people of the world really stand by our side. The support of the people is the success of our great cause. key."

Huang Chao patted Zhu Wen's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Why don't I know this? It's just that the generals in the army are old brothers for many years. Even if they do something out of the ordinary, even I will give them three points Brothers have followed me through life and death for so many years, if they are punished for a trivial matter, wouldn't it make the brothers feel chilling?"

Zhu Wen said: "Small things? People are people too, even brothers who have been brothers for many years can't make fun of people's lives. When people are bullied, they can only hide in their hearts, but what they hide in their hearts is like a bomb that can explode at any time." Volcano, once it is stimulated by some kind, the volcano will erupt and burn everything around him, including himself. Huang Wang is a pedant of heaven and man, so the truth of "water can carry a boat can also overturn it" is still true. Can't see through?"

Huang Chao smiled bitterly and said: "Seeing through is a problem, and whether you can handle it well is another problem. You are still young, and it is good to have this kind of heart, but the things in the world are not something you can do just by thinking about it. Rectifying military discipline is not something that happens overnight. It is not a task that can be completed by a single person. Once an extreme situation occurs, the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhu Wen pondered for a while, and said, "I will fix military discipline, but do I need someone?"

Huang Chao asked doubtfully, "Who?"

"Zhang Yan." Zhu Wen said without hesitation. For Zhang Yan, Zhu Wen admired his talent and his personality. If he helps in rectifying military discipline, it will definitely have a multiplier effect.

Huang Chao smiled and said: "You really know how to pick people. He is a well-known think tank, but his personality is a bit cowardly. He is not the kind of person who can stand alone. But he is also the leader of the rebel army, so it is not easy to transfer him away. .”

Zhu Wen said unhurriedly: "I have a suitable candidate here who can be exchanged with him. This man is both civil and military, courageous, and responsible. He can be independent and can make up for Zhang Yan's shortcomings. As the saying goes, people make the best use of their talents and things make the best use."

Huang Chao immediately became interested and said happily, "Who is this person?"

"This person used to be a lieutenant general in Changyuan County. Now I am serving as the infantry commander under my command. His name is Hu Zhen. He is excellent in martial arts and meticulous in thinking. He is capable of being alone. I am also afraid that he will bury him under my command." Zhu Wen said.

Huang Chao smiled and said: "I know this person. I heard that you were able to easily take down Changyuan last time thanks to this person. That's good, but he is a general after all. I'm afraid the soldiers will not accept it!"

Zhu Wen frowned slightly, and said, "Employ people on their own merits, regardless of whether he is a general or not? If you, Master, think what your disciple said is unreasonable, then just pretend I didn't say it." Zhu Wen was also a little angry in his heart, and said earnestly: "If Master can’t change this way of doing things in the world. Even if we capture Chang’an and overthrow the Great Tang Dynasty in the future, Master, you may not be able to truly lead the generals. Saving the people from the fire and water is just empty talk. The disciple said That's all, this disciple will retire now."

Zhu Wen originally intended to make the rebel army stronger and have the strength to compete in the world.But he saw that although Huang Chao was knowledgeable, superb in martial arts, generous, trustworthy and righteous, these were enough to be the overlord in the martial arts world.But if his character wants to compete in the world, it is a little insufficient.If a person takes the word "loyalty" too seriously, he is doomed to wander around the rivers and lakes instead of living above the temple.

A society must be constrained by the legal system, and the army needs the legal system to be constrained. This is the only truth that Zhu and Wen have understood after so many years in modern society. It must be investigated." This is a question he knows well as a soldier in the 21st century.

Now that he saw that Huang Chao couldn't even understand the truth, he didn't need to say any more, and he was disheartened, so he offered to leave.

When Zhu Wen was about to walk out of the gate, Huang Chao's magnetic voice said: "Third brother, stop and let Hu Zhen come to my big tent tomorrow. And Zhang Yan, I will let him go to your place Report, hope he will not refuse."

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "Of course he will not refuse. Now our army has just established a government office, which is basically a military-government integration. There is no clear legal system. Rectifying military discipline means that we can integrate the two powers of legislation and law enforcement." Zhang Yan He is a smart person, of course he will not refuse such a good thing."

"I hope so!" Huang Chao said, he seemed very tired.Indeed, he was responsible for the life and death of tens of thousands of rebels, so he had to be cautious in doing things.Wang Xianzhi is a good example. Wang Xianzhi's intelligence and martial arts are not inferior to his Huang Chao, and his military strength is not weaker than him.But it seemed that overnight, he was defeated and killed.

Huang Chao took a deep look at Zhu Wen's back. For Zhu Wen, he, as a master, couldn't see through.He checked Zhu Wen's details. He was a rogue since he was a child. He was exiled to the army on the charge of theft. After his army was defeated, he became a deserter...

But he couldn't connect the information he investigated with the disciple in front of him. This disciple was kind, witty, broad-minded, and far-sighted, and he was more able to accurately grasp the trend of the current situation.What kind of person is he?Either he is a treacherous villain in the city, or he is a true hero for the country and the people!But there are very few real heroes in this world.

Huang Chao sighed secretly, and said in his heart: I hope I didn't see the wrong person.

Zhu Wen returned to his residence, called Zhu Cun, Zhu Zhen, Hu Zhen and others to him, and talked about the idea of ​​transferring Hu Zhen to replace Zhang Yan and lead a group of troops alone.Both Zhu Cun and Zhu Zhen were happy for Hu Zhen, but also a little reluctant. After all, they have been together for half a year, and they are all bloody men, so they can talk more easily.

Tears flashed in Hu Zhen's eyes, and he choked up and said, "As a surrendered general, I, Hu Zhen, did not make any achievements in the rebel army. Suddenly, I was allowed to be alone. It must be the result of the third brother's strong recommendation in front of King Huang. Great kindness Thank you, no matter what happens in the future, I, Hu Zhen, will still be the brother of the third brother. No matter what, as long as the third brother says a word, I, Hu Zhen, will never say a word." Lewed, tears flowed down involuntarily.

People say that men don't flick their tears lightly, but they haven't reached the emotional point, but for Hu Zhen, Zhu Wen is undoubtedly reborn to him. How can a bloody man like him not be moved?

Zhu Wen was also somewhat reluctant to leave Hu Zhen by his side. After all, Hu Zhen was a rare general, Zhu Zhen was relatively immature, while Zhu Cun was too steady and cautious, but not courageous enough.Zhu Wenqiang smiled and said: "Brother Hu was promoted to general and stood alone. This is a happy event. Brother Hu should be happy. How did you learn the attitude of those sons and daughters?"

Hu Zhen wiped the tears from his face, forced a smile and said: "Third brother, I'm just a little excited, I don't know what to do, I'm also afraid that I don't have the ability to bear the life and death of thousands of brothers alone Responsibility, I'm afraid I can't do it."

Zhu Zhen joked: "Brother Hu, if you can't do it, you should have said it earlier. Don't you still have me? If I can do it, let alone 10 people, I will still manage it for him. Yes..."

Zhu Cun pulled Zhu Zhen behind him, and said: "My lord is talking, children don't interrupt!"

Zhu Zhen stuck out her tongue, and made a face at the back of Zhu Cun's head, as if dissatisfied.

Zhu Wen said to Hu Zhen: "Brother Hu, don't underestimate yourself. I believe I won't misunderstand the person. After all, I am my brother. I can't let you be buried here, right?" Brother Hu, you have been promoted to a higher position, why don't you invite your brothers to have a drink or two?"

Hu Zhen also smiled and said: "Of course it is indispensable, Zuixianlou, I invite you brother, you can order any good wine and food... Uh, but third brother, please borrow some money first, brother, I don't have a lot of money..."

Zhu Wen smiled wryly and shook his head, sighing secretly in his heart: How careless to make friends!
