It can only be said that sometimes, the monarch's method of killing heroes for the sake of future generations is too ruthless, and there will definitely be future troubles.
Hu Weiyong's reputation in history books is not very good, but no one can deny his ability. In terms of shrewdness, ability, and political skills, he can compete with the top civil servants in history.
The only drawback is that he likes power too much.
The two men following Hu Weiyong were Fei Ju and Lu Zhongheng, among the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, Fei Ju was from Wuhe.
Historically, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world very early and was a confidant of Ming Taizu. Later, he was ranked the 18th hero when the country was founded. He made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that the Huaixi military general Zizhi and Zhu Yuanzhang were from the same hometown, and he had made many achievements in the southern and northern wars, and he was somewhat domineering and arrogant.
In normal times, the township parties were still in contact with each other, and their forces were intertwined, which aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's extreme vigilance and dissatisfaction.
Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong successively became the spokespersons of Huaixi military generals, and were eventually killed by Zhu Yuanzhang in a major case.
Let's say they died unjustly. These military generals were arrogant, had bad tempers, frequently oppressed good people, and formed cliques for personal gain. Zhu Yuanzhang killed them. These people indeed deserved their punishment.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's methods were too ruthless and he didn't show any mercy to these fellow villagers and his partners who conquered the world together.
He often beheaded and killed, implicated his family members and killed three clans.
These military generals did not have the sentiments of the great founding fathers of later generations. They followed Zhu Yuanzhang, but they did not really have the great ambition to clean up the world and clean up the evil.
What they want is to build a career, have a wife and a son, and what they pursue is power, glory and wealth.
If they had not followed Zhu Yuanzhang, they would have at least become rich in their hometown with their own abilities. Following Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world, they succeeded in gaining power and wealth, but in the end the three clans were wiped out...
If they knew their fate, anyone with a normal mind would regret defecting to Zhu Yuanzhang.
For no other reason than they didn't want their families to be destroyed and their wives and daughters to be humiliated.
After countless creatures came to the mainland of China in history. It is equivalent to giving these people a chance to come back.
This time, most of the founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty could no longer join the Ming army.
There has been an indelible gap between them and the Ming army.
Even the arrival of Zhu Yuanzhang cannot change this fact.
This is not the origin world. If you don’t stay here, you will have a place to stay. As long as you have the skills, you can be in a high position wherever you go, and you don’t have to worry about the Ming army.
"You are right, but I have found out clearly that General Zhennan is a kind man, knows people well and is good at assigning tasks. Apart from having more rules, he has no other flaws!"
Hu Weiyong said.
The three of them all settled near Wuhe some time ago. After seeing Fulong defeated by the Sihong army, they followed some relocated people to Sihong.
Hu Weiyong was more thoughtful and kept inquiring about news while he was on the road.
After arriving in the city, he kept observing on the streets. Ask about Wang Jing's reputation and personality.
Among the people, Wang Jing's reputation is extremely high.
Moreover, Wang Jing's political and military methods used a combination of leniency and severity, except when he captured Sihong and defeated Sun Ru and other forces, he killed some arrogant generals and high-ranking Hu people who had done evil.
I have never heard of large-scale massacres or the execution of surrendered generals.
You can see the leopard in the tube.
A top-notch talent like Hu Weiyong can naturally sense Wang Jing's general character from these things.
He feels good.
Although Wang Jing sometimes does not hesitate to kill, he is usually very generous to others. After all, he is a person from the Origin World, and his values and outlook on life have long been finalized.
It was impossible for him to treat the people like ants like the ancient monarchs, and methods such as massacre of the city had never appeared in his mind.
If you achieve great things in the future.
It is impossible for him to kill heroes like Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Mr. Hu's vision is better than ours. Since Mr. Hu said so, let's go to General Zhennan..."
Fei Ju said in a deep voice, but before he finished speaking, he saw several tall and burly men walking into the tea shop and sitting down not far from them.
There are also three people on the other side.
They didn't pay attention to Fei Ju and Lu Zhongheng's aura, and just sat beside them minding their own business.
Fei Ju immediately fell silent.
"This time the general government is preparing to expand the army by 70,000 people. It is said that the number of new recruits recruited from outside is only 20,000. We had tea and quickly went to the school to sign up before the news spread. We can't waste time..."
"Only recruiting 20,000 new soldiers? This...just the number of people waiting for the General's Recruitment near Sihong is more than this, right? Why are there only such a few people recruited? Aren't there still 50,000?"
The three men called for tea and hot soup while talking in low voices.
"The other 50,000 soldiers are said to be selected from the guards and some prisoners. They are all elites who have been on the battlefield. When the general recruits troops, of course he must give priority to veterans! The new soldiers also need to be trained, and their strength cannot be compared with the veterans. Compare!"
The man who spoke obviously had some knowledge, and his body also showed traces of practice. He was already a first-level warrior.
He is the one in charge among the three.
"Tell me, if you were from the General's Mansion, would you want veterans or new recruits?"
The man said calmly.
"Actually, if the general's office wants to expand the army, it can just integrate the guardsmen and surrendered soldiers into the army. So many guardsmen and surrendered soldiers are waiting to become combat soldiers... It can provide 20,000 new soldiers. The quota is already very good!”
The companion next to him scratched his head and said with some frustration: "I didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to join the army now? I thought that as long as our brothers joined the army, we would definitely become soldiers!"
"Hehe, if we cross the river to Huainan, we will definitely be able to become combat soldiers directly. However, combat soldiers in other places do not have the same treatment as Sihong. Apart from anything else, it is simply impossible for us to practice in other places. Be taught!”
The leader said happily.
The soldiers of the Sihong Army, especially the soldiers, were indeed treated very well. In addition to sufficient food, they also had various rewards.
For meritorious service, rewards and punishments are clear.
You can also be taught the method of cultivation, which is a method that can continuously transform you into a strong person.
For those who are ambitious and want to climb up, this is a ladder to the sky.
Many common people in Sihong's army, many young men inside and outside the city, and children of wealthy families who have made their homes in Sihong are all waiting for the opportunity to recruit troops.
In normal times, the only way to join the army is to join the garrison soldiers.
Children of wealthy families with connections and connections must start from the grassroots level if they choose to join the army.
But join the army when recruiting.
As long as they perform well during training, they have a great chance to directly become commanders, team leaders, and grassroots officers.
People with connections and abilities can even become a hundred households through performance.
Normal times.
But there is no such opportunity to directly become an official in the army.
