The celebrity effect was not limited to Zhu Yongxing. Li Dingguo had great military exploits and outstanding character. He was an idol admired by countless people at that time, and was also the core of many Ming army generals. The invisible coercion and awe even affected the Ming army generals.

thoughts and actions.

It is for this reason that Yicheng, Ma Bao and others hope that Zhu Yongxing will postpone dealing with Tang Yaozong in order to build a good relationship with Li Dingguo. There is no right or wrong in itself, but the way of thinking is different and the perspective is different.

"Your Highness, are you trying to establish your authority? It's just that it's hard to explain to the King of Jin..." Ruyang Prince Ma Bao stopped and watched Tang Yaozong's men abandon their weapons and walk out of the barracks, frowning and guessing Zhu Yongxing's thoughts.

Emperor Yaozong of the Tang Dynasty led his lieutenants to greet Zhu Yongxing, but he never expected that Zhu Yongxing suddenly changed his face and was captured in one fell swoop. Since Zhu Yongxing was determined to take action, Ma Bao, Liu Zhen and others who were already prepared had no choice but to act according to the contingency plan and surrounded the military camp of Emperor Yaozong of the Tang Dynasty.

.Amid the shouts of "Only punish the culprits, never ask for help", after a period of commotion, the leaderless garrison finally chose to abandon their weapons and leave the camp to accept purges.

Although the operation went smoothly, all the generals were confused. They didn't know why Zhu Yongxing suddenly changed his mind and used this thunderous method. Although Zhu Yongxing was left behind by the clan to temporarily supervise the country's power, be in charge of hundreds of officials, and deal with a general soldier who committed an offense, there was no

It's ultra vires. But after all, Tang Yaozong was a general sent by Li Dingguo. It should be better to say hello first and give Li Dingguo face, right?

Now, didn't Zhu Yongxing's decisive treatment cast a shadow over his first meeting with Li Dingguo?

……………

Zhu Yongxing has no regrets. He knows that psychologically, he has crossed a threshold and has repositioned himself. After getting rid of the psychological shadow of historical celebrities and famous generals, he has become more confident, which will be beneficial to the future.

Action pays.

"Pingyang Marquis, you will investigate the illegal and misdeeds of Emperor Yaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and you will clean up and command the troops. When the King of Jin arrives, he will deal with it. What do you think?"

Zhu Yongxing showed his thunderous power in front of everyone who greeted him, and now it is time to change his relationship with Li Dingguo. Capturing Tang Yaozong without making the final decision, leaving it to Li Dingguo to decide, is undoubtedly a face for Li Dingguo. According to folk sayings

It is said: Beating a dog depends on its owner. It is understandable to put an evil dog in a cage. However, if it is killed with a stick regardless of the indiscriminate nature, it is somewhat unreasonable.

Moreover, Zhu Yongxing also chose a suitable candidate to handle matters such as investigation and conviction, and that was Pingyang Hou Jin Tongwu. Historically, before his death, Li Dingguo entrusted himself to his general Pingyang Hou Jin Tongwu, and ordered his eldest son Li Sixing to worship him as his adoptive father. This shows that Li Dingguo had great influence on Li Dingguo.

His trust.

In this way, Zhu Yongxing appears to be very fair. He is not fabricating charges to deliberately embarrass Li Dingguo, nor is he trying to annex Li Dingguo's people. He is just judging the matter based on the crime and nothing else.

Pingyang Marquis Jin Tongwu had already read the indictment of Tang Yaozong for robbing and killing merchants, and his face was very ugly. He hated Tang Yaozong to death. The person who slapped Jin Wang Li Dingguo in the face was not Zhu Yongxing, but this greedy bastard. But he was also a little dissatisfied in his heart.

He felt that Zhu Yongxing should disclose the matter privately to Jin Wang Li Dingguo, and let Jin Wang Li Dingguo handle the matter.

"King Li Jin has always been very disciplined in his army, and he has never committed any crimes. Emperor Yaozong of the Tang Dynasty harmed business and disturbed the people, and tarnished the reputation of the king of Jin and the reputation of the king's master. His crime is unforgivable." Zhu Yongxing was unhappy and said patiently: "If the king of Jin were here, he would have killed him early.

First of all, correcting the name and strict discipline. Marquis Pingyang, don’t you think so?”

Jin Tongwu was shocked and quickly bowed and replied: "What your Highness said is true. Emperor Yaozong of Tang Dynasty killed merchants and seized goods to enrich himself. If he did not kill, it would not be enough to enforce military discipline. If His Highness Jin learns about it, he will behead him in public to inform the army and the people."

Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly and said: "It is up to Marquis Pingyang to investigate his crimes and improve military discipline. The sergeants followed orders to rob and kill merchants. The crime is only in the Tang Dynasty. If you can, forgive it; if it disturbs the people and harms them,

If you do something wrong, then the fault is yours and you should not be lenient. Marquis Pingyang can control it by himself, and the most important thing is to have the least involvement and the least impact."

"The general will obey the orders of His Highness." Jin Tongwu knew that he had to take on this job, not only to accept Zhu Yongxing's care on behalf of Li Dingguo, but also to create an opportunity for Li Dingguo to make amends and regain his influence.

Zhu Yongxing looked at Jin Tongwu's retreating back, smiled bitterly, and tapped the table thoughtfully. Although Jin Wang Li Dingguo had a stubborn personality and often argued when things happened, he didn't seem to be a small-minded person. When talking to Sun Kewang

In the quarrel, he was able to bear the humiliation and take the overall situation into consideration. I hope this move will not really cause estrangement, and I have to make more preparations to prevent such a thing from happening.

"Your Highness." Chang Shi Yicheng walked in, looked at Zhu Yongxing with a rather complicated look, and bowed to report: "Long Jizuo, the local official, has hosted a banquet for His Highness, and is now waiting to be summoned in the side hall.

.”

This is the real benefit of capturing Tang Yaozong! Zhu Yongxing put away his thoughts, stood up with a smile, and followed Yicheng to the side hall.

Why did Zhu Yongxing treat Yunnan chieftains particularly favorably, even at the risk of antagonism with Li Dingguo, but also to intimidate them and lure them with benefits? In fact, this is closely related to the ethnic composition of Yunnan. There are many ethnic minorities.

It was a good supplement for soldiers, but most of them were controlled by the chieftain. The personal dependence of the native people on the chieftain hindered Zhu Yongxing's plan to expand the army and campaign.

Of course, the chieftain system began with the "restraint system" in the Tang Dynasty, was formed in the Song Dynasty, and flourished in the Ming Dynasty. Centuries of deep-rooted habits cannot be easily abolished. If not done well, it will easily alienate the chieftains.

To cause rebellion and undermine overall internal stability.

Therefore, Zhu Yongxing used both kindness and power to enable the chieftains to stand with the Ming army and contribute to the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty; on the other hand, he also had to take some measures to allow the chieftains to relax their personal restrictions on the native people so as to recruit more people.

Ethnic minority soldiers.

It is impossible to force an order, but Zhu Yongxing can make conditions and make exchanges. Based on the principle of voluntariness, if you support me, I will give you an official position and land; if you refuse, it doesn't matter, there will always be other chieftains willing to go

Do. In short, this seems to be a transaction in which neither party suffers any loss.

But in fact it is not that simple. This is Zhu Yongxing's long-term plan to continuously turn the people under the chieftain's rule into free people and fundamentally shake the chieftain system. The lives of these free people are getting better and better.
