At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very happy in his heart. This was the joy of seeing through the truth. This was beyond the ordinary people's thinking framework and reached a new realm.
Great wisdom and great courage, this statement is very reasonable. Only people with true great wisdom can be truly brave. This is essentially different from the courage of ordinary people.
Time flies and everything develops step by step.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang sent Zhu Wenzheng to Hongdu, he specially called him to the commander's mansion.
Looking at Zhu Wenzheng in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied.
As the saying goes, brothers fight like brothers, and father and son fight in battle.
Regarding his relatives, they are in the first order in Zhu Yuanzhang's trust ranking. This is also human nature. After all, blood is thicker than water.
"Eldest nephew, we are going to send you to be the Grand Governor of Hongdu. Are you willing? Or are you willing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang did not give Zhu Wenzheng a chance to postpone.
"Uncle, can I do it? There are so many generals in the army, who am I?" Zhu Wenzheng was a little unsure.
"Wen Zheng! You can't say that! All the men in our Lao Zhu family are heroes. Let me tell you, you are the second best, second only to me. I have thought about it and let Deng Yu be your Deputy.”
Zhu Yuanzhang adopted the strategy suggested by Tang He, but instead of letting Deng Yu be the top leader, he asked Zhu Wenzheng to be the top leader. Tang He was a very good talker. He talked about Zhu Wenzheng first and then Deng Yu. It didn't mean anything. He said it clearly, but everyone could understand it.
"Uncle, you can let me go to Hongdu. Give me one hundred thousand elite soldiers. That will be all right!" Zhu Wenzheng retreated and settled for the next best thing.
"No!" Zhu Yuanzhang said firmly.
This is not because Zhu Yuanzhang did not give Zhu Wenzheng his troops, but because he really did not have that many troops.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang has developed rapidly recently, he can't eat a fat man in one bite.
"Eighty thousand is enough! That's Chen Youliang opposite! Uncle!" Zhu Wenzheng took another step back and said.
Zhu Yuanzhang still said nothing, because he could indeed give Zhu Wenzheng 80,000 elite soldiers. This would not affect the overall situation, but Zhu Yuanzhang had a lot on his mind.
After all, as his territory becomes larger and larger, more and more places need to be guarded by troops. He must reserve mobile troops, otherwise, if something goes wrong, there will be nothing he can do.
Zhu Wenzheng saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was still silent. He did not continue to speak, but lowered his head and pondered. In fact, Zhu Wenzheng was also very smart. He didn't care about the number of troops. What he wanted was autonomy.
He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious. If he mentioned autonomy from the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely refuse.
So Zhu Wenzheng came to retreat and advance.
A strange scene appeared in the commander's mansion. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Wenzheng. Zhu Wenzheng lowered his head and said nothing to anyone. He was silent.
In history, Zhu Wenzheng was killed by Emperor Hongwu, which was all caused by slander. Zhu Yuanzhang now feels very sad when he thinks about this matter.
In the end, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who spoke first, "My eldest nephew, I can rest assured that I will give you all the autonomy to do your work. As the saying goes, you will not be affected by your orders when you are away! But once Chen Youliang comes to attack, you must hold on for three months!"
"Three months? Eighty thousand troops?" Zhu Wenzheng asked.
"It's not 80,000 troops, but 40,000 elite troops!" Zhu Yuanzhang said decisively.
Zhu Wenzheng pondered for a while, but he did not answer immediately. This was a military order, and he also knew that if Chen Youliang sent troops to attack, the momentum would definitely be huge. His own life and death would not matter, but if it was because of his If they lose the first battle, maybe Jinling will use strategy next, and they will be doomed. So Zhu Wen is thinking about how to win this key battle in the future.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Wenzheng to hold on for three months was to achieve his strategic goal, which was to force Chen Youliang into Poyang Lake, so that a real battle could determine the outcome.
If Chen Youliang is allowed to escape, then he will spend more energy and lose too many rebel brothers if he wants to eliminate Chen Youliang. After all, Chen Youliang's prestige is still there.
Prestige may seem like a thing, but you don't know if it exists, but its effect is really great.
For example, when Qin Shihuang, the one emperor of the ages, was alive, the world was peaceful and no one from the remaining remnants of the six kingdoms dared to come out to make trouble, because with an order from Qin Shihuang, the Qin army would fight efficiently and quickly wipe out all the remaining remnants of the six kingdoms.
After the death of Qin Shihuang, Qin II no longer had such lofty prestige, and the terrifying combat effectiveness of the Qin army disappeared overnight. This is the huge power of prestige.
"Uncle, I am willing to issue a military order. If Chen Youliang attacks, I will hold on for three months to weaken his spirit. But uncle, you must believe me. No matter what news you hear, don't believe it. I just want what you just said. If I say that, I will be outside, and I will not accept your orders!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was very satisfied and continued, "Wen Zheng! Do you know? Confidence is actually a huge source of strength. If you don't have confidence and you don't believe in yourself, then you will definitely fail. There is no other possibility. .”
"I remember! Uncle, I'm leaving now. If I win, then we can meet again. If I die, then see you in the next life!"
After speaking, Zhu Wenzheng left the handsome manor without looking back.
After hearing Zhu Wenzheng's last words, Zhu Yuanzhang felt really bad. He remembered the farewell scene before Jin Ke assassinated King Qin. The wind was rustling and the water was cold. A strong man will never return once he is gone!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang will not let such a thing happen again. He will be fully prepared. Everything must be under his control. This is Zhu Yuanzhang's caution.
He actually doesn't have to do this, because such an arrangement really puts Zhu Wenzheng in a very dangerous situation, but without such danger, it would be impossible to stimulate Zhu Wenzheng's potential.
A good man has ambitions everywhere, but achieving success and becoming famous are the eternal pursuit of a man.
Fame and wealth are not attractive to Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, he has transcended this level. The reason is very simple. He will be the rule-maker in the future.
No! Now he is the maker of the rules. Zhu Yuanzhang will carefully plan any battle or battle in the future and let his generals implement it.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, achieving others is achieving himself.
After thinking about it this way, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood became very calm and calm.
He was thinking that it was necessary for him to study the Analects of Confucius carefully. The ancients said that half of the Analects rules the world. This must be true.
