Chapter 77 Under the Yellow Bird "Then Su Mingzhe is always cautious in doing things.
If he didn't get real evidence," Zhu Chongba was anxious and blurted out a string of truths.
Immediately, he quickly closed his mouth again and asked blankly, "Sir, what you mean is that you want the kid to take the blame, so..."
"How can those who achieve great things be restricted by small details?"
Zhu Sheng took a long breath and shook his head.
My lord is good in other aspects, but his temperament is always hard to get rid of the charlatanism.
I always think that one person does things and one person is responsible, but I don’t know that as long as you sit in a certain seat, you are no longer the same person.
It is even less likely that there is anything that can be undertaken by oneself "This matter was agreed between Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang, and the specific executor was Yang Bi, the head of the Arch Guard Department.
Since Yangzhou has cut off all the details of several Arch Guard Departments, they must have obtained enough evidence."
Zhu Chongba He lowered his eyelids and added in a low voice.
Note 1 The prices of artillery sold by the Huai'an Army to external parties remain high, and the firearms equipped by the Huai'an Army themselves are far more sophisticated than those sold to external parties.
The Hezhou Army, on the other hand, has been unable to develop long-range artillery.
Therefore, he had no choice but to adopt a very risky strategy and sent people to Yangzhou to steal troops.
Unexpectedly, just after getting some clues, the internal security department of the Huai'an Army copied all the melons and vines.
The loss of a few craftsmen is not a big deal.
The Archguard Division is on the right track and will soon be able to extend its tentacles to where they want to go again.
But how to explain it to the Huaiyang General Manager's Office made Zhu Chong scratch his head.
Frankly speaking, with his current strength, Zhu Chongba really has no chance of competing with the Huai'an army.
Even when most of the main force of the Huai'an Army was attracted by Tuotuo, the Fourth Army staying behind and Mao Guisu's Chuzhou Army jointly advancing westward could still bring disaster to Anqing.
"Then Yang Xiwu, the head of the Arch Guard Department, was once your personal assistant?"
Zhu Sheng's tone remained unchanged, as if he didn't know the strength comparison between his family and Huaiyang.
"Judging from his usual behavior, he should be a character who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.
He also understands priorities."
"This" Zhu Chongba was stunned for a moment, with an obvious look of intolerance on his face.
According to Zhu Sheng's suggestion, Yang Bi Yang Xiwu, the head of the Arch Guard Department, gave the explanation to the Huaiyang General Manager's Office.
Giving his head to the envoy to take back can calm the anger of Su Mingzhe and others for snooping on the secrets of making firearms.
But Yang Bi has always been loyal to him.
If he throws him out to be the scapegoat that the Crusaders say because he can't withstand the pressure of the Huai'an Army, how can he have the face to face other brothers under his command in the future?
"The name Yang Bi is not chosen well, it is really not good.
Bi means a snare.
Yang means a huge tree.
If Bi is caught, all the birds will be gone."
Seeing Zhu Chongba's undecided look, Zhu Sheng gently crossed the line again.
She glanced at him and added very flatly.
"You always say" Zhu Chongba's face immediately lit up with sunshine.
Staring with a pair of red phoenix eyes, he danced and said, "Find a guy who looks similar to Yang Bi, kill him, take the head back to the envoy of the Huai'an Army, and then ask Yang Bi to change his name and go elsewhere for a few more days.
Wait for this storm to pass.
It’s not too late to compensate him slowly.”
"Yeah, that's right."
The boy is teachable, and Zhu Sheng's old face immediately showed an expression of relief.
"It would be better if you could come up with something to make Huaiyang's side happy.
After all, the two families are now allies, not enemies.
As long as your presence is still beneficial to them, they should not be willing to bear the brunt of the war between their brothers. notoriety” "Hiss" Zhu Chongba breathed gently.
The only thing that can tempt the Huaiyang General Manager's Office is food and iron ore.
Especially the latter is a necessary material for launching a war.

However, places such as Huai'an, Yangzhou and Gaoyou do not produce iron.
But now there is such a huge disparity in strength between the Huai'an Army and the Hezhou Army.
I am rushing to send iron ore there, for fear of dying too slowly.
Then Huaiyang's Baigongfang refines the iron ore into refined steel and beats it into The weapon just happened to come to the door again with it.
While he was hesitating, Zhu Sheng's hoarse questioning voice came to his ears again, "With the current strength of our army, can we ban traders from the two places?"
"Of course not," Zhu Chongba responded very simply without even thinking about it.
Although the Huai'an Army needs the grain and pig iron produced in Hezhou and Anqing, the Hezhou Army is more dependent on Huai'an.
Although he has tried his best to build various workshops after gaining an independent territory, and even shamelessly went to Huai'an to learn from his masters, the output and quality of weapons, armors and various siege equipment are still far inferior to those of his opponents. .
It is far from meeting the needs of military expansion and launching foreign wars.
"Wang Kerou, Zhang Shicheng, Guo Ziyi and others, can you follow your suggestion and reduce the delivery of various materials to Huaiyang?"
Zhu Sheng smiled mysteriously and asked knowingly.
Zhu Chongba's face turned red instantly, he closed his mouth tightly, speechless.
The answer is obvious.
Whether for their own survival and expansion, or to obtain various and endless luxury goods, other heroes will not stop transporting grain and pig iron to Huaiyang.
And I don't have any courage to propose a joint initiative against Huaiyang.
Otherwise, I am afraid that after sending the letter the day before, the above-mentioned princes will join forces to attack Anqing City the next day.
Even my nominal boss Guo Zixing will immediately kill his relatives.
"Sigh" knowing that Zhu Chongba must be feeling uncomfortable at the moment.
Zhu Sheng didn't push too hard, sighed softly, closed his eyes and said nothing.
In terms of strength comparison, the difference between Zhu Chongba and Zhu Chongjiu is no smaller than the gap between Liu Bei and Cao Cao before the Battle of Chibi.
In terms of fame and popularity, this Zhu is far inferior to that Zhu.
But this Zhu knew how to treat the virtuous and virtuous officials, and knew that scholar-bureaucrats were the foundation of the country.
He knew how to restore etiquette and righteousness, cultivate benevolence and virtue, and rule the world with the laws of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
On Bi Zhu's side, the rules are often out of order, etiquette and justice are gone.
From hundreds of officials to traders and soldiers, everyone has something to say and benefits.
The sage Xu Heng once said, "Ruling a country with power can only last one generation; ruling a country with profit cannot be as good as three generations; ruling a country with virtue can achieve long-term peace and stability."
Note 2 Throughout the annals of history, we have not heard of a country being governed by profit for thousands of years.
In the past, Guan Zhong of the Qi Dynasty opened a female residence and valued merchants, and the Qi Dynasty became rich.
As soon as Guan Zhong died, Duke Huan soon died at the hands of traitors.
When the Qi army went to war, there were no more victories.
Some people even threw away their belongings in front of the battle line to disrupt their military morale.
The generals of Qi robbed them one after another, ignoring military orders.
Then collapsed for hundreds of miles
Now that Zhu Chongjiu has gone further than Guan Zhong, it can be predicted that before long, rituals and music will collapse and morals will decline under his rule.
The eunuchs have lost their political power, the scholars have forgotten their knowledge, the cultivators have abandoned their fields, power and money collude, and tigers and wolves are everywhere.
But those who have no money and power will die without being able to complain about their grievances.
The more he thought about it, the heavier Zhu Sheng's mood became.
The sense of responsibility and mission on our shoulders is also getting stronger.
The kind of troubled times foreseen by the ancient saints in which people compete for food is coming, and its tragic scenes may even exceed the bloodbath of Jiangnan in the Meng Yuan Dynasty.
As a Confucian who has inherited the study of pilgrimage, he must stand up and assist a hero to save Tianhe and bring order to the chaos.
The afternoon sunlight shines into the carriage through the cut-glass windows, casting colorful shadows on people's faces.
As the wheels move, the sunlight outside the window flickers, and the colors on people's faces also change.
After a long time in silence, the tranquility in the carriage was broken again by Zhu Chongba's sigh, "I'm following each step, but I hope it will run away like nothing" Note 3 "Your heart is already dead.
If you die, then surrender now, and you will not lose your position as Qi and Liang in the future."
Zhu Sheng finally raised his eyelids, and two gleams of light appeared in his eyes.

King Han Xin of Qi and King Pengyue of Liang were both generals under the command of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty.
In the war where the Han army wiped out the world, he made an immortal contribution.
And the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, like the current Zhu Chongjiu, was of humble origin but magnificent.
However, not long after the world was settled, King Han Xin of Qi was demoted to the rank of Marquis of Huaiyin.
Although he carefully closed the door and thanked guests for many years, he still could not escape death in the end.
Peng Yue, on the other hand, was attacked and captured by the army sent by Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty without any defense, and finally killed the three tribes.
Although Zhu Chongba was a brave martial artist, he had no less ink than ordinary scholars.
Hearing this, he immediately shivered with excitement, raised his head, and responded through his teeth, "Young man, you are paying homage to your father.
Why should you insult me?
If you have a way to clear the air, just say it."
Yes.
I will obey my advice.”
The courtesy of honoring one's father is that King Wu of Zhou treated Jiang Ziya, Duke Huan of Qi treated Guan Zhong, and Xiang Yu treated Fan Zeng.
They are all extremely respectful and keep their word to the letter.
Although Zhu Chongba was weak in power, ever since he asked Zhu Sheng to help, he had always treated the latter as a wise elder.
Therefore, even if Zhu Sheng was dissatisfied with him in his heart, he was already moved and swallowed up without a trace.
Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang said the word "Shangfu" at this moment, Zhu Sheng's eyes began to turn red.
After pondering for a long time, he said in a low voice, "Looking at your impatience, have I ever said that I won't help you?
It's just that at this moment, the combat strength of the state army and I is not as good as the Huai'an Army.
Many strategies cannot be used.
So for now you just have to If you can tolerate it for the time being, you must accept it when it is time to be soft.
He would do his best to benefit others.
He would be a little slow-minded and lazy in his plans, so that he could focus entirely on the Meng Yuan side.
Then he would take Anqing as his foundation, cultivate politics internally, and train military soldiers externally. , Use all kinds of crafts and miscellaneous things for use.
Then build walls high, store up food, and wait for the changes of the weather. " After a pause, he continued, "Zhu Zhong is a grassroots man who underestimates the scholar-bureaucrats.
Little does he know that the civil servants under his command have also been scholar-bureaucrats for a long time.
Everyone trusts each other with their lives and has no selfish motives.
Of course, his government orders Tongchang, every strategy is implemented from top to bottom with all one's strength.
After the external troubles disappear, Su, Xu, Hu, and Liu will do their best. , who is willing to call a peddler and a stooge a brother?
If it is true as he claims, no one is high or low, all are created equal, then all the generals risk their lives to fight, and for whom?
What is the purpose of exhausting our efforts?
If the external troubles are relieved, internal chaos will inevitably arise.
This will be the opportunity for me and the state army to conquer the world."
