Chapter 79: Calculating "My lord, be careful what you say."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chief historian Huang Jingfu immediately stood up and loudly admonished, "My lord has just arrived in Wuyue, and everything is undecided.
You must not give others important positions so early."
"This case must not be taken lightly."
Deputy Chief Shi Caiyanwen followed closely and tried his best to dissuade him.
"It is an unparalleled honor to rest with the country.
Today, my lord, I will treat a handyman lightly, but the next day, my lord will open up the territory and expand the territory."
How will it be sealed?”
"I second the proposal" "The final general feels that what Huang Changshi said makes sense."
"My brother seconded the proposal of Cai Changshi" The surrounding civil and military officials, including Zhang Shicheng's most trusted brother Zhang Shixin, stood up and tried to dissuade him.
Talking about one thousand, saying ten thousand, everyone's opinions can be summed up in two.
First, the rafters at the top will rot first.
At present, Zhang Jiajun's strength is far less than that of Huaiyang, so he must not think of proclaiming himself king and entrusting hundreds of officials.
Second, even if he is granted an official title, he cannot give such a prestigious position as a general to a mere craftsman.
Otherwise, other civil and military officials will not be rewarded if they have made great contributions.
If the official position given is low, everyone will feel that they are not as important as a craftsman.
If the offer is too high, the whole dynasty will be filled with great generals and prime ministers, and their official positions will no longer be valuable in a blink of an eye.
When outsiders hear about it, they will be laughed at for a long time.
Note 1 Unexpectedly, Zhang Shicheng, who had a reputation for being receptive to advice, turned out to be extremely stubborn today.
He slapped the table twice hard and yelled loudly, "Shut up, don't give me the nonsense.
Isn't it just a general position?
If you can make me firecrackers and artillery that don't explode, I won't say that I will ban you."
Now that I have become a general, I am willing to hand over the post of Pingjiang Commander-in-Chief to a group of people without foresight.
They only see the glory of the position of general and cannot see that our army is currently in an embarrassing situation."
"this" "minister" All the civil and military officials were stunned by the scolding, and they all looked at each other, bewildered and at a loss.
Seeing the helpless look of everyone, Zhang Shicheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Oh, what should I say so that you can understand?
This general is just a sincerity who buys horse bones for a thousand pieces of gold.
It is impossible to just give him a share of honor and salary."
Even if he were to actually lead the troops in the war, it would be impossible for him to be on the same page as you and give advice to Zhang."
After everyone heard this, they collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
They all put on smiles and bowed to apologize, "I see, I'm being presumptuous."
"My lord is wise, the general just talked too much."
"The position of a great general can be passed down to his descendants.
No matter what, the craftsman has made a profit."
"It's a pity that I don't know how to blacksmith, otherwise, haha" "Okay, stop yelling."
Hearing the commotion around him, Zhang Shicheng couldn't help but slap the table hard again.
"You guys, don't look down on the craftsmen.
If the firearms had not been made that day, how could Manager Zhu have swept the Lianghuai River?
Moreover, Zhang himself was not from a wealthy family.
In terms of wealth, boiling the sea and burning salt is better than striking iron with a hammer.
Where to go?”
"My lord was a dragon trapped in the shallows at that time" “Those who have achieved great things since ancient times must have worked hard for their muscles and bones and their minds.”
"My lord is an unparalleled hero, so of course he has to endure all kinds of hardships.
Those people who work hard just for two meals all day long, how can they still have the world in mind when they are in such a difficult situation like my lord?"
"That's right, that's right.

Zhaowu of the Han Dynasty also made and sold shoes, but after all, he was the queen of the emperor.
When the time came, he soared into the sky."
There was another round of complimentary rebuttals from all around.
No one is willing to allow Zhang Shicheng to despise himself and put his identity in the same category as "witch doctors, musicians, musicians and so on".
After Zhang Shicheng crossed the Yangtze River with the support of the Huai'an Army, a large number of scholars from Jiangnan were gathered in the shogunate.
Some Mongolian and Yuan civil servants who were captured by him also surrendered.
With the full support of these two types of people, he easily established a foothold in Jiangnan, and his strength expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye every day.
Therefore, he pays more and more attention to what these people say, and unknowingly, he has formed a kind of dependence.
At this moment, people in the audience say that they are not born poor, but a dormant hidden dragon.
Although they feel very ridiculous in their hearts, it is difficult to refute them in public.
He smiled and waved his hands very grandly, "Don't mention it again about making and selling shoes.
Zhang is so virtuous and capable, but you dare to compare with the founding emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty.
If you want to avoid humiliating your talents in the future, please come from From now on, we should plan a long-term strategy for Zhang.
Although the beautiful words sound good, they cannot be used as food after all.
Although our Changzhou Army now occupies a territory.
It is a fertile land, but there are old thieves Da Shitiemu and others who are stubbornly resisting in the south.
In the west, there are people such as Chen Youliang and Peng Yingyu who are eyeing it.
I won't talk about it in the north.
After all, Zhang is just a foreign minister, not his direct descendant.
So, if you want to be rich and prosperous for a long time, you should come up with more useful things.
This is what Zhang wanted to reward the gunsmiths."
"This" all the civil and military officials were at a loss for words, and no one knew how to speak.
As the saying goes, if you compare with others, you will die, but if you compare with goods, you will throw them away.
Although the Changzhou Army has made rapid progress in the past ten months, the Huai'an Army in the north has developed even faster.
Especially after successfully forcing Tuotuo back, even Sesame Li and Zhao Jun took back all the territory they had originally occupied.
Now, from Suiyang to Yangzhou, almost all the land of the four roads and two prefectures belongs to him.
Surrounded by a large number of minions who followed his lead.
Compared with him, in terms of territory, strength, and reputation, the Changzhou Army is like a firefly compared to the moon, and a small loach compared to a giant whale.
"In the past, Zhang copied Huaiyang, opened a workshop, established a business, and opened a martial arts school.
You all thought that Zhang was copying what he did.
But other than following suit, Zhang couldn't think of any better ideas.
Come.
You are all Well-educated people, if you don't like Zhang's imitation of others' old tricks, why don't you give Zhang some good advice as soon as possible."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Shicheng rapped on the table with his knuckles and continued to smile. urge.
These words are a bit harsh.
When all the civil and military officers in Changzhou heard this, they all felt sweat on their foreheads.
Especially the scholar who was born in Jiangnan, his face was so red that he was almost bleeding.
After looking at each other for a few times, the marching commander Shi Huang Jingfu took the lead and said loudly, "Master, why did you say this?
The politics of Huaiyang confuses the general order and confuses the noble and the humble.
It is just drinking poison to quench thirst.
In the short term, it is easy to see miraculous effects, but in the long term, we will not attack.
Self-defeat.
If my lord doesn’t believe it, just wait and see.”
"I only saw it resist Tuotuo's million-strong army, and then calmly march north to Denglai."
The same words, no matter how reasonable they are, will become annoying after hearing them dozens of times.

Zhang Shicheng frowned and responded with a smile, "Not to mention how he will respect his husband in the future, but now he has some good advice to teach me."
Don't talk about how bad Huaiyang's government is.
If you have a good idea, just come up with it.
Listen to Zhang.
Huang Jingfu was also a bit quick-witted.
He was forced to have no way out by Zhang Shicheng.
He gritted his teeth and responded loudly, "I do have a plan in mind, but I dare not say it is good.
I wanted to discuss it with my colleagues before offering it to the lord." .
Today, I have been asked by my lord to ask you about it, and I will allow you to report it in detail."
It's not that I can't help it, it's just that I'm not mature yet.
Since you are in a hurry, I will tell you directly.
"Zhang is all ears."
Seeing the other party speaking so confidently, Zhang Shicheng couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation in his heart.
If you blindly follow the example of a cat or a tiger, you will definitely be pushed further and further away by the Huaian Army.
If there really is a shortcut, no one would hesitate to take the risk.
"Since the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, moral governance has not been practiced, and the imperial examinations have been intermittent.
Heroes have no chance to stand out, and the common people have no overnight food.
They have no choice but to rise up one after another."
Huang Jingfu nodded lightly, and the title of the opening chapter pointed out the fate of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
The reason for today's embarrassing situation.
"Now, among those who can be called heroes in the world, one is Xu Shouhui, the second is Liu Futong, and the third is Zhu Chongjiu.
The Lord raised his army a little later, so he can only be listed as the fourth.
The rest are insignificant."
The second sentence focuses on Zhang Shicheng's allies and future rival.
"Yeah" Zhang Shicheng nodded after hearing this, wiping his smooth chin with his hand.
In his mind, there are only a few heroes in the world.
As for Mao Gui, Peng Yingyu, Guo Zixing, Zhu Yuanzhang and others, they are just other people's thugs and minions, and they are not worthy of paying too much attention at all.
"Now Zhu Chongjiu has a hundred thousand soldiers under his command, and he has just forced Tuotuo back, and his reputation is unprecedented.
My lord has received his favor in the past, and the territory is only separated from Yangzhou by a water, so we must not easily compete with him."
See Zhang Shicheng's willingness Listen carefully to your own analysis, Mr.
Huang Jingfu Encouraged, he cleared his throat and continued to remonstrate loudly, "As for Xu Shouhui, Liu Futong and others, they are far away from the lord, and they can only be regarded as allies for the time being.
In this way, as long as Zhu Chongjiu does not get involved in Jiangnan, the opponents that the lord will face will be There is only one, the Meng Yuan government."
"Indeed.
Judging from what General Manager Zhu has done in the past, he is expected to be stable for a long time."
Zhang Shicheng nodded lightly and quickly interjected.
As far as he knew, when Zhu went south to Yangzhou last year, he was bewitched by Zhu Chongba and made a dangerous move.
Otherwise, with this person's indecisiveness, I am afraid he will have to lie dormant in Huai'an for a long time to gather enough troops and food, grass and baggage before he can move south steadily.
"Wuyue has been a sacred place since ancient times.
Because of the Song Dynasty in Hangzhou, the people have hated the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty for a long time.
Taking advantage of Zhu Chongjiu's inability to cross the river, the lord also made all his efforts to march south, conquer Hangzhou, capture Wen, Taiwan, and Jinhua, and then go straight to With its back to the sea, it became a country.
Then it opened trade routes and built huge ships to travel between Goryeo, Ryukyu, Eastern Japan and Western barbarians, and then benefited from maritime trade.
He spends a lot of money to repair his armor, recruit good generals, and create an invincible army to keep the enemy at bay.
When facing the country, he conducts imperial examinations, selects talents, and spreads his ideas.
If you know etiquette, know your integrity, don't close your door at night when you are free, and don't turn around when you are in war, you will be able to achieve dominance when the time comes."

Zhu Yuanzhang made Jiao Yu a general.
Therefore, among the princes in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was the most well-equipped with firearms.
In the battle to annex Zhang Shicheng and defeat Chen Youliang, artillery and muskets both made great contributions
