Unite all forces that can be united.

Give those who make mistakes a chance to reform themselves, rather than pushing them into the enemy's camp completely.

This is the principle of one plus one, not one minus one comparable.

The biggest advantage of this method is that it can make the enemy lose its footing, because once there is such a sign of correctness, the enemy's defense, vigilance, and self-inspection will cause internal turmoil, and everyone will be in danger, which will speed up the beginning of civil strife.

But the disadvantages of this method are also obvious, and it is easy to cause chaos inside yourself.

Just imagine, if a traitor transforms himself into an official position and becomes an official in a noble way, how can those who are loyal to the country and bloody on the battlefield be able to bear it? This will subvert the concept.

Later generations also experienced continuous education and publicity, but in fact it was like brainwashing, changing the concept of good and evil in the hearts of ordinary people, from small family to the overall situation, and finally achieving success.

But Wu Zheng did not meet this condition at this time, there was no reliable grassroots organization, nor did those who understood these principles to educate another group of people.

Therefore, Wu Zheng understood Ma Shiying's meaning, but felt extremely embarrassed.

Originally, Wu Zheng thought of this problem, but because he discovered that this was even more troublesome, he gave up and decided to use the momentum of thunder to sweep the acupoints to clean up the ugliness of the world. Simply put, he pushed it back and started over.

But in this way, after the success of the Northern Expedition, the world's vitality was greatly damaged, and it was not enough to recover for only 30 or 50 years.

Just imagine, during the peak period of the Ming Dynasty, the registered population had exceeded 10 million (billions), but after natural disasters and man-made disasters (plague), killings by the Daxi and Dashun Army, and massacres of the Manchus entering the pass, it was better in the south of the Yangtze River, and in many places in the southwest and northwest, there were almost hundreds of miles of uninhabited.

The population at this time was estimated to be only 60 to 70 million. If the Northern Expedition and sweep the world with thunder, then one to two million would be reduced, which was inconspicuous at all. The key point was that the casualties were all strong men.

After this war to trace the origin, the world needs at least one or two generations to reproduce and revive.

But Wu Zheng couldn't wait because he knew history and did not recover as soon as possible, the strong ships and cannons in Western Europe would rush eastward and eat the land of China.

Therefore, after hearing Ma Shiying's advice, Wu Zheng felt very embarrassed.

This is like a fish and a bear's paw, you can't have both.

How to choose?

At this time, Zhang Huangyan suddenly said: "The prince, what Lord Ma said does make some sense. Instead of burning all the jade and killing the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army in vain, it is better to give them a way out in exchange for their counterattack... It is still a good deal to think about it."

Wu Zheng sighed and said, "It can be said that, but how can we appease the ordinary people who don't understand? They may think that this king made peace with those traitors. In this way, there will be many discussions on things, and the eleven palaces will be in chaos first... It will be more than worth the loss."

Ma Shiying said: "The prince is a person who formulates laws and rules. Now the half-month talk of Han Ming has been published in prefectures and counties. The prince can inform the world of the government orders that allow those people to repent and reform and make contributions and commit crimes. As long as they are meticulous in the implementation, I believe that most people will agree with the prince. As for being stubborn...then you think of another way."

At this time, Zhang Huangyan interrupted and said, "Prince, I have an idea."

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me."

Zhang Huangyan said: "Since the prince talked with Xia Cungu in Yingtian Prefecture, the Ming Society has undergone a rigorous self-inspection and purging. Now the people in the Ming Society are all people who know books and rituals, and are no longer as turbid as before... If the prince really intends to adopt Lord Ma's advice, then the Ming Society can be used to make the society wide, and its influence is enough to penetrate the neighbors."

When Wu Zheng heard Zhang Huangyan's words, he felt a sudden excitement.

Yes, did not the later generations also use this method of human-to-human transmission and human-to-human transmission method to resolve the dilemma?

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng immediately nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble my brother to take charge of the order and mobilize Mingshe to spread the advice Ma Yaocao said through the mouths of the Mingshe society... Lao Ma, you draft the government orders and reviewed them by this king, and publish them in the Hanming half month talks at the same time."

Ma Shiying was overjoyed and said, "The prince is wise... In this move, we will add 50,000 troops."

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "But don't be too much. Hard-core traitors cannot be careless. They must list a list of hard-core traitors. At the same time, they should follow the methods of the past to encourage the public to report and expose them. Those who report and expose the truth will be rewarded... Remember, this decree can be limited to those with minor circumstances, those who actively repent and those who actually have made contributions can be forgiven."

Ma Shiying nodded repeatedly and said, "Actually, there is another intention under his subordinates. If Qian Liu really can persuade Qian Qianyi to do it again, then Qian Qianyi's connections in the court and the opposition will be enough to drive a large number of officials and scholars who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty... Besides, the prince did not agree to Ma before..."

Speaking of this, Ma Shiying was alert and swallowed it quickly. He looked at Zhang Huangyan carefully. His expression and expression were like a candy-stealing child caught on the spot.

Wu Zheng couldn't help but smile. This old man was getting more and more "cute".

He glanced at Zhang Huangyan, and Zhang Huangyan looked at his nose and his nose, without any movement.

But Wu Zheng knew that Zhang Huangyan listened to it, and it was because he listened to it that he remained silent. This is a compulsory course for the lower class. If the lord doesn't tell it, don't ask.

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "No one can hide it from Brother Xuan... Besides, Lao Ma, you have become a traitor, and then Brother Xuan will use a knife to you. Why don't you explain it truthfully!"

After Wu Zheng said this, Ma Shiying's eyes lit up. Yes, if Zhang Huangyan knew about this, the blame would be invisibly lighter.

Ma Shiying was a little grateful to Wu Zheng for his delicate thoughts. This was to open a way for himself.

So, General Ma Shiying discussed with Wu before that he wanted to secretly sell military workshops to the Qing court. He told Zhang Huangyan one by one about the top secrets in shipbuilding.

Even though Zhang Huangyan was prepared, he was shocked by Wu Zheng and Ma Shiying's boldness. Is this a capital enemy?

It was agreed and supported by Wu Zheng. If this spread, Wu Zheng might have to bear the bad reputation of stolen country.

Not to mention anything else, those who are interested in the court in Yixing Dynasty will definitely expand this matter infinitely, just like Chen Zilong's promotion of Wu Zheng's "robbery of the rich and helping the poor", it was jealous of these people with many connections. No matter how they argued, it would be useless.

It is impossible to explain it to the people one by one, but the mentality of the melon-eating people is often to believe that it exists, and often think about it from the evil of human nature and at the worst. This is human nature.
