He knew that Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others in history did not have great ambitions. Just the city of Haozhou caused them to have conflicts with each other.
If you want to defend Haozhou City, you must win them over and keep their military power away except during battle.
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang continued.
"Secondly, there is no Tartar government in Haozhou City, but laws and regulations are indispensable. A few of us will form the Haozhou Capital Marshal's Mansion. If we encounter major issues, we will discuss them together! As for public security and minor market matters, we will equally divide the territory in the city. How about everyone taking charge of one area and not interfering with each other?"
The second point Zhu Yuanzhang said really made Guo Zixing and Sun Deya really happy.
The most direct goal of their rebellion against the Yuan Dynasty was to have the final say in Haozhou City!
"General Zhu said it well, Guo agrees!" Guo Zixing said immediately.
"That's right, major matters will be discussed together, and small matters will be dealt with separately. I, Sun Deya, support it!" Sun Deya also agreed with a smile.
The other three commanders also agreed unanimously.
Zhu Yuanzhang had the first merit, but he was willing to share the Haozhou territory with them, which was definitely a big concession.
Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others were happy because Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han had expected it.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhu Han a meaningful look.
When Zhu Han saw this, he naturally understood what his brother was thinking.
There was a hint of disdain in those eyes. A mere Haozhou city had already made them so happy that Zhu Yuanzhang really looked down upon them.
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly thought in his heart: These heroes who usually move the wind and rain are nothing more than this. I think when we were still working in Huangjue Temple, our little brother had anticipated the general trend of the world. Comparatively, when it comes to heroes, As characters, our old brothers, Zhu, are far ahead of these people!
After Guo Zixing and others were satisfied and excited, Zhu Yuanzhang said the last thing.
"This last one is to ensure the reputation of our rebel army, that is, the four military laws. Anyone who violates it will not be tolerated!" Zhu Yuanzhang said very seriously.
"General Zhu, what are the four military laws?" Guo Zixing asked.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's serious expression, they all knew that this military law was not a child's play. As long as they agreed, their lives would really be at stake.
"The four laws of martial law are no stealing, no looting, no murder, no adultery! Anyone who dares to violate it will be beheaded in public display!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.
He was born in poverty and suffered all kinds of hardships. He knew how difficult it was for ordinary people. Now that he has become a rebel, he will never tolerate anyone doing things that harm the people under the banner of a rebel.
When he mentioned the "Four Unfair Military Laws" to Zhu Han, he immediately received Zhu Han's strong support.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the rebel armies were surging, and they were a mixed bag. Many rebels had lax military discipline, which often caused major changes in the attitudes of the people who supported them.
Since Zhu Han wanted to help his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang plan the world, he naturally had to establish his reputation.
At that time, Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, won the hearts of the people by relying on the three chapters of the agreement.
Zhu Yuanzhang's "Four Unfair Military Laws" are exactly the three chapters of Liu Bang's Law of the Han Dynasty that he imitated.
but.
Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others hesitated for a while and did not agree immediately.
The troops under their command include all kinds of good and bad characters.
What greenwood bandits, thieves, murderers, deserters, etc.
It is really difficult to ensure that they do not commit these "four irregularities in military discipline".
If they agree today, they may have their heads chopped off if they commit a crime.
At that time, do you think Guo Zixing and Sun Deya should be saved?
If we don't save them, it will chill the people who have been supported by money, and maybe they will lose a lot of people.
If he was rescued, wouldn't it ruin his reputation as a rebel general, and spreading the word would be a big trouble.
Zhu Yuanzhang became a little impatient when he saw that everyone was still waiting to express their opinions.
He first asked Guo Zixing: "Uncle Guo, what are you thinking about?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's title was deliberately more intimate, just to get Guo Zixing to quickly take the lead in agreeing.
His own three thousand soldiers and horses will be stationed in Haozhou together with Guo Zixing and others in the future. If Haozhou's military discipline is corrupted, outsiders will only know that the Haozhou Red Turban Army has been corrupted, and will not distinguish between Zhu Yuanzhang's tribe, Guo Zixing's tribe, or Sun Deya The department committed a crime.
Zhu Han had long told his brother Zhu Yuanzhang the importance of military discipline and reputation, and naturally he did not want to let Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others harm him.
"Well, isn't this military law a bit too harsh? Beheading is too much." Guo Zixing shook his head and said.
When Sun Deya and others heard this, they all said it was too harsh.
Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy.
Just when he was about to say something to persuade him, he suddenly saw Zhu Han shaking his head slightly at him.
He understood immediately and stopped talking.
At this time, Zhu Han on the side spoke.
"Military law is of great importance, and everyone should give it more thought. It will not be too late to discuss it again in the future."
After hearing Zhu Han's words, Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others breathed a sigh of relief and all said with a smile.
"Yes, little brother Zhu is right, let's discuss it later!"
"That's right, we'll discuss it later."
After Zhu Yuanzhang briefly discussed with everyone, he divided the territory of their respective defense zones and then sent them away.
Seeing them leaving the Haozhou government office, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked Zhu Han.
"Brother, the four military laws are so important, why don't you let them agree? We understand clearly. If we force them to say a few words, it will definitely be possible."
After hearing what his brother Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Han smiled.
"Brother, our most important thing now is to win them over to Meng Yuan to counterattack. As for those things that undermine military discipline, they don't have time to do it yet." Zhu Han said first.
Although Haozhou City is now in hand, the threat of thousands of Mongolian and Yuan cavalry from Daruhuachi is very close at hand.
Guo Zixing and Sun Deya did not dare to relax the restraint on their subordinates. After all, once the city of Haozhou was destroyed, their families would be destroyed.
"If you don't think about the present, you have to think about the future! If you don't abide by military laws, won't it damage our military reputation?" Zhu Yuanzhang obviously had no confidence in the Haozhou commanders.
"Brother, the terrain here in Haozhou is flat. It has no defensive advantages and has suffered from frequent famines. It is not a long-term place. We started here, but we did not lay the foundation here. Once the time is right, we will definitely find another place. , there is no need for Guo Zixing and others to abide by our military discipline." Zhu Han said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that it made sense.
If he develops his strength in Haozhou first, he will soon be able to fight elsewhere.
By then, even if the Haozhou Rebels have a bad reputation, they will never be able to harm themselves.
