Zhu Yuanzhang's decision was actually very bold.
As a commander-in-chief, he would actually stay away from Jinling.
At this time, the world is in chaos. Not to mention the rebels, it is extremely dangerous for ordinary people to travel long distances.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as an expert and bold person, and he thinks it is nothing.
If something happens, just deal with it!
In fact, although the world is in chaos now, some general trends can be seen.
In the territory north of Dayuan, Liu Futong and the others were resisting Dayuan's attacks. Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang were also resisting Dayuan's attacks from different directions.
Zhu Yuanzhang's territory is located between them, so Zhu Yuanzhang can develop calmly.
This is all due to Zhu Sheng's nine-character mantra. Now it seems that this is the biggest secret of Zhu Yuanzhang's development.
Zhu Yuanzhang has never forgotten these nine-character mantras: Build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and become king slowly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's power has developed rapidly recently.
This is obvious to all heroes in the world.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it from another aspect. What he saw was not achievements, but crises.
Now his generals are basically from Huaixi. This is a time bomb in the future.
What Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to do was to unify the world.
The world belongs to everyone in the world.
It would not be a good thing if he only had Huaixi generals under his command.
In history, Zhu Yuanzhang paid a heavy price when resolving such a matter. How many people died was too terrible to behold, and it also had a negative impact on Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation in later generations.
How to solve this matter?
In fact, it is not difficult, that is, recruiting troops and buying horses in other places that are not Zhu Yuanzhang's territory, which requires a certain amount of wisdom.
Zhu Yuanzhang established the Talent Recruitment Hall in Jinling, which was a great initiative of Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that such measures were still not enough, and he had to find another way.
"Xiao Chun'er, if you say that I want to recruit troops on Chen Youliang's or Zhang Shicheng's or even Dayuan's territory, what can you do?"
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xiaochun and the others were on a small boat.
The reason why we take a small boat is because the roads on land are somewhat unsafe, but the waterways are relatively safer.
Xiaochun was really surprised after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was really unbelievable.
"Commander, let me think about it, your idea is too advanced."
In fact, as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he felt that it was not something that could be done at all. However, he said it again and he could not take it back.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was still thinking of another way.
In fact, with the expansion of his current territory, he can first recruit troops and select generals from the newly occupied place. This is possible.
Jinling is a place with abundant resources, outstanding people, and many people with lofty ideals. Zhenjiang and other places nearby are also here.
There is also the Pingjiang Mansion where Zhu Yuanzhang is going this time. He can start from the people he meets.
In a word, Zhu Yuanzhang is now very hungry for talents. As long as he is useful, he wants to draw him to his side.
There will be many helpers when he is successful, but there will be little help when he is unjust. Zhu Yuanzhang believes that God will be on his side.
Xiaochun just said that he had no good solution, but unexpectedly one of Zhu Yuanzhang's guards spoke up.
"Commander, I have something to report back!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was really happy.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, there is always an ideal picture.
That is, his generals are as bright as the clouds, and there are more than a million soldiers. They all come from all over the world, and they all fight for their homeland and motherland.
Zhu Yuanzhang motioned to the guard to speak.
"Commander, our family is a salt seller, and most of the people in our village are also salt sellers. There are familiar people all over the country. I can go and give it a try."
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he became very interested in this guard.
"Then why did you join the rebellion?"
The guard lowered his head and said after a long time, "My family members were killed by the Tatars! I joined the rebel army just to kill the Tatars for revenge!"
While the guard was talking, Zhu Yuanzhang took a good look at the guard again.
Zhu Yuanzhang's criteria for selecting guards are very strict. There is no problem with the guard's origin and personal situation.
Is a trustworthy person.
The guard's words made Zhu Yuanzhang realize another problem.
Generals who lead troops in battles can be promoted based on military merit, and soldiers who bravely kill the enemy can also receive silver rewards.
What does his personal bodyguard rely on?
There are also those people in Shuai Mansion who quietly do practical things.
this is a problem.
Zhu Yuanzhang said again, "I decided to let you give it a try. Wei Chen, if you can recruit a few generals, I will mark your merits."
"You must live up to the commander's trust!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xiaochun again, "Xiaochun, please make arrangements and dock the ship later and provide him with all the necessary conditions!"
The so-called leadership means being able to know people well and assign them well, and having the courage to boldly recruit new people!
Zhu Yuanzhang is such a leader!
Don't be suspicious when you employ people, don't use people when you are suspicious.
Not to mention other things, but this one big or small thing already made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy.
When a person can take the initiative to do something from the heart, the energy that bursts out may be very amazing.
There is a boat dock ahead.
Xiaochun is really handy in doing those small supporting things.
What needs to be done is done quickly.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wei Chen's back, and he was still very pleased.
The reason why Wei Chen was allowed to go down was because he wanted Wei Chen to make his own arrangements.
This time Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to visit Pingjiang Mansion and the places around Jinling.
Wei Chen also understood Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts very well, so he went straight to Chen Youliang's territory.
Wei Chen knew that the person Zhu Yuanzhang and Marshal Zhu cared about most at the moment was Chen Youliang.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know much about Wei Chen.
Zhu Yuanzhang spent most of his time discussing military, political, people's livelihood, logistics and other matters with Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Tang He and others.
There was really very little communication with Wei Chen. The most important thing was when they met, Wei Chen gave Zhu Yuanzhang a gift, and Zhu Yuanzhang gave Wei Chen a few words of encouragement, that's all!
I really didn’t expect that Wei Chen would take the initiative to ask for help today. This is a good thing!
As long as everyone in Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates shines brightly, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they will be defeated.
"Xiaochun, what do you think of Wei Chen?"
