Chapter 193 Zhu Gongzhong The second half of the sentence was actually said with a strong voice.
After hearing this, Zhang Shicheng hurriedly bowed down again and promised loudly, "The general manager has an order, and I must keep it in mind.
From now on, I will definitely restrain my subordinates, treat the people well, and treat them with kindness."
Just as he was saying this, he suddenly thought about what his brothers had done in Gaoyou City just half an hour ago.
His heart suddenly trembled.
He knelt down with his legs straight and added loudly, "Yes.
Only if the common people do nothing wrong can they live up to the president I am in charge of today's teaching general.
I sincerely hope to serve under you.
I would rather not be the governor of Changzhou.
I have served as a commander or deputy commander under you.
I have never led an army alone before.
Many of them have done so.
I don’t even understand the truth.
I hope to receive more education from you.”
"Really" Zhu Ba11 shook his head with a smile, the expression on his face was so amusing, "You don't want to go to Jiangnan anymore" "Last General, Last General" Zhang Shicheng's heart felt hot again, he lowered his head and looked at the ground, his tongue was knotted in his mouth again, and he couldn't bear to say the next words for a long time.
"Okay, get up.
We don't like kneeling down in the army."
Seeing his appearance, how could Zhu Bayi not guess that he could not give up his personal ambition in the end?
He smiled and shook his head, stepped forward and removed him with one hand.
Pulling up from the ground, "Get up and mount your horse.
It's windy outside the city, so let's go into the city first.
We can talk about the details of how to select soldiers and horses for you and send you across the river while we walk."
"Yes" Zhang Shicheng did not dare to resist and responded loudly with a cold sweat on his head.
"I didn't mean to find trouble with you."
Seeing him in such a frightened state, Zhu Bayi smiled and comforted in a low voice, "You should also be from a bitter background, and you should know what it's like to be bullied.
Besides, you In future wars with the Mongolian and Yuan officers and soldiers, someone will always be needed For information, someone can help you with food, grass and military pay.
If you do the same as the soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, then why should the common people come to help you?
If the common people have fled to other people's territory under the rule, who will help you farm the land and pay for the food?
You can’t carry a hoe and go up on your own.”
"The general manager taught Ji Ji, the general knew that he was wrong.
Before the end came, he had ordered his men to evacuate the brothers from Gaoyou City and resettle them outside the city.
The general, the general did not mean to condone them."
Zhang Shicheng Wiping the stream on his forehead, he blushed and agreed in a low voice.
"Before coming," Zhu Bayi obviously didn't know what Zhang Shicheng's men were doing in Gaoyou City.
He looked at Zhang Shicheng, then turned to look at Fu Youde who was full of shame, and finally shook his head gently, "I never followed him before.
You have made a request in this regard, so no matter what your people do this time, I will not hold them accountable.
You can take care of yourself in the future.
Get on your horse, get sweaty in the cold weather, and be careful not to freeze."
"Yes" Zhang Shicheng agreed politely.
Like a child who made a mistake, he lowered his head and walked to the mount that someone else had pulled for him.
After trying several times, he finally climbed onto the horse's back.
Zhu Bayi did not emphasize military discipline too much to him.
Gaoyou City had just been captured, and a total of 30,000 to 40,000 officers and soldiers had defected or were forced to lay down their arms and surrender, and hundreds of local officials at all levels were captured.
At this moment, he very much needed to find someone who had contact with the government and soldiers at all levels, and through this person he could learn about some specific situations.
And Zhang Shicheng is undoubtedly a good choice.

Therefore, the two chatted casually for a few more words and then turned to other topics.
"I heard that Qi Zhedu has a good official reputation.
How well do you know this person?"
"Isn't it the same as never treating ordinary Han people as human beings?"
Zhang Shicheng's face turned red again and he responded bitterly.
"However, compared to other Mongolian and Semu officials, he is indeed much stronger.
At least he knows how to keep the brothers well fed, and the military pay is basically guaranteed to be sufficient."
"What about people's livelihood?"
Zhu Bayi adjusted his posture on the horse and asked loudly while moving forward slowly.
"There are good days and bad days."
Zhang Shicheng thought for a while and responded very seriously, "Gaoyou Mansion is a place as big as a palm, and half of the population is supported by the business on the canal alone.
The remaining ones who have land in the countryside can Planted, flat Just picking up snails and catching a few fish can make you half full.
The ones who suffer are the farmers and salt collectors.
There is a lot of rain here, and the quality of the brine is not as good as that in Huaidong.
In the past two years, the trees have been cut very thin.
Yes, you have to spend extra money to buy firewood from the canal.”
When it comes to the salt industry, Zhang Shicheng immediately becomes less reserved than before.
Through gestures, the life of salt households in Gaoyou area, the salt production process, and the competitive relationship between several large salt farms were clearly explained.
It wasn't until Mao Gui, who was following him, coughed lightly that he realized that his answer was wrong.
He patted his head and explained in a low voice, "General, before I was recruited by Qizhedu, I was a salt seller.
So, when I mention this business, I feel familiar."
"If you don't want to lead the army in the future, you can become the salt ambassador."
Zhu Bayi joked with a smile to lighten the atmosphere, "Then according to what you say, the Gaoyou government is pretty good."
"Compared to other places, it's indeed decent."
Zhang Shicheng nodded and responded truthfully.
Immediately, he realized that what he said was inappropriate, and quickly added, "But, after all, the people in charge are Mongolians.
It's okay if you don't provoke them, but if you do, you will definitely die without a burial place."
"Yeah, I understand."
Zhu Bayi sighed and nodded.
At the beginning of his journey south, he had already discovered that the people in Gaoyou Mansion were not very welcoming to the Red Turban Army.
According to later generations Zhu Dapeng's era, there was no strong national consciousness in the entire Gaoyou Mansion.
For the Red Turban Army moving south along the canal, there was no expected victory in the food supply situation.
On the contrary, Zhu Bayi could still see faint hostility in their eyes.
It was as if the Red Scarf Army were just a group of green warriors robbing homes and houses and would not bring them any happiness or peace.
That's why Zhu Bayi was eager to understand the governance situation of the local government.
As a result, the more I learned about it, the more I realized that I had overestimated the national consciousness of the people of this era, and also underestimated the governance level of the Mongolian and Yuan officials.
He even discovered with vigilance that if the Red Scarf Army did not improve its governance capabilities as soon as possible and could not bring more practical benefits to the people under its rule, although its territory was expanding rapidly, the people's hearts might turn towards the imperial court.
After all, no matter how bad order is, it is better than chaos.
The Red Turban Army was the instigator of this chaotic era.
"Are the Chief Manager worried that the people will not support you?"
After all, you are a famous figure in history.
When he was no longer as nervous as before, Zhang Shicheng immediately guessed what Zhu Ba11 was thinking.
After thinking for a while, he added in a low voice, "Actually, this is nothing to worry about.
The common people only care about having a stable meal, and they don't care who is in charge of the government.
They don't care whether the people in the government are Mongolians or Hans.

It's spread across both sides.
Those forts in Huai” Secretly glancing at the faces of Zhu Bayi and the people around him, he continued to add in a low voice, "The Huaiyang area, especially Anfeng and Luzhou in the west, was a big battlefield in the Song Dynasty.
It was known to form strongholds to protect oneself. tradition.
And the owners of those forts are either After the generals, they are either green forest heroes, all of whom are good at using guns and sticks, and they also know some tactics.
If they cannot be completely conquered, it will be difficult to stabilize the place if they are not careful.
"Trouble" Note 1 "Yeah."
This was something Zhu Bayi hadn't noticed before, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Fu Youde saw it from the side, thought about it, and explained in a low voice, "That's true.
Over at Runing Mansion, the general heard that there have been several rebellions in the fortress in response to the Meng Yuan government.
It's all thanks to Marshal Liu having soldiers in his hands.
It took a lot of artillery to suppress those restless guys."
"Wang Kerou Qianhu, who took charge of you a few days ago, was a village leader before."
As if to find evidence for his words, Zhang Shicheng continued to add in a low voice, "Many of the general's former colleagues in Gaoyou City were from various families.
Such a good shot from Baozhai.
When we arrived in Yangzhou, the relationship between the government and the fortress became even closer.
Several of the confidants under the command of Zhennan King Boluo Buhua were all from the village leader.
A few years ago, the king of Zhennan could only rely on their efforts.
Successively defeated the rebels in Jiqing and Wu Tianbao in Jingzhou."
"So that's it."
Zhu Ba11 nodded, thoughtfully.
Up to this point, the battle going south was going very smoothly, but it always gave him a very unreliable feeling.
It's as if if you don't pay attention, your victory will disappear.
It was only after listening to Zhang Shicheng's reminder today that I finally discovered where the danger was hidden.
But how to solve these dangers, but there is no clue.
"Except for those who are determined to go all the way with the government, most of the fortresses will definitely have to wait and see for a while before deciding where to go."
Determined to leave a capable impression on Zhu Ba11, Zhang Shicheng thought for a while, Keep going quietly Admonished, "So the general thought privately that the general manager might as well adopt two methods.
One is to hit those guys hard on the battlefield.
Don't be reluctant to do it just because they are also Han people.
Kill them until they lose the courage.
Those who escaped home alive must be The second thing is to give them some benefits.
Unlike ordinary people, they are more capable and have higher requirements anyway, so the general manager might as well.
Let them all come out Come and be an official.
After receiving the gold seal given by the Grand Steward, they will naturally not be able to rebel against the Grand Steward.
I heard from the elders that this is what Prime Minister Boyan did back then.
The front pushed them directly to the walls of Hangzhou."
Note 1: Many of the heroes in the late Yuan Dynasty were born in Lianghuai.
The reason is that this generation became the front line against the Jin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty after Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty crossed south.
Created a large number of landlords and powerful armed forces.
When troubled times come, powerful people naturally start to look for opportunities
