Chapter 1171 - Choosing Talents
This is not to say that Wu Zheng admires Shi Lang much and wants to overturn the case for Shi Lang's crime.
Instead, Wu Zheng believes that Shi Lang has not been cleared up at the moment, and it is unfair to punish Shi Lang with something that has not yet happened.
Moreover, Wu Zheng didn't think that Shi Lang would end up like under Zheng Chenggong if he threw himself into his hands.
If Shi Lang really descended to the Qing Dynasty according to history, Wu Zheng also decided that he would be killed at the ends of the earth!
"Shi Lang, this king asks you, did you ask to surrender before the battle, was it a temporary intention, or did you have this intention for a long time?"
Wu Zheng's first question was asked very sharply.
The temporary intention was to explain that Zheng Chenggong's sudden order to retreat the main force caused Shi Lang and his central part to have dissenting intentions, which was incompatible with the law and understandable.
If you have this intention, that is, your moral character is corrupt, because your boss is unfair to you, you just have to go, but you turn against yourself before the battle, causing the army to fall into extreme passivity, then it is immoral and moral.
Contrary to Wu Zheng's expectations, Shi Lang replied: "Back to King Wu's words, Shi Mou...... It's been a long-time experience. ”
Wu Zheng's eyes flashed, and he sighed slightly in his heart, although this person has talents, he really can't be reused.
"So, from the very beginning, you thought about the rebellion?"
"Yes." Shi Lang did not hesitate at all, "King Yanping has always been jealous of Shi, no matter how hard I work on the battlefield, it will be difficult to win the favor of King Yanping." ”
Wu Zheng hesitated a little, the person in front of him was still different from what he originally thought, was he really born to be rebellious?
But in history, Shi Lang broke through Dongfan, and did not dig up Zheng Chenggong's grave and whip the corpse to vent his anger like Wu Zixu, but went to pay tribute in person, which shows that the current situation can still affect people and resolve the anger in people's hearts.
"Because of this, you betrayed the old master?" Wu Zheng asked lightly.
Shi Lang replied: "It's not all because Shi is not reused...... King Wu must not know that Shi was framed by Hao Shangjiu in Haiyang and was ambushed before he decided to leave Li Chengdong and take refuge in King Yanping, in order to avenge this arrow. But King Yanping had an army of 20,000, but he always refused to advance eastward, attacking Haiyang City, and even the military advisor Chen Yonghua also admonished several times, all because of the indecision of King Yan'an Ping, as a result, Huizhou Li Chengdong and Fujian Qing army reinforcements arrived, and Zheng Jun missed the opportunity...... But because of Shi's advice, King Yanping demoted me to Xiamen. Not long ago, it happened to be with the Qing army to attack Xiamen, Zheng Zhiguan, the uncle of the Yanping royal family, was afraid of the battle, and sat and watched the Qing army loot outside the city, Shi couldn't bear to see the people being slaughtered, and led dozens of people to attack decisively and repelled the Qing army...... King Wu, such a lord, Shi Mou can no longer see any future, how can he not rebel? ”
Wu Zheng smiled and asked, "But if this king doesn't come, who will you go to?" You shouldn't have known in advance that Wu Song Shui Shi would join forces with the former Wang Deren to enter the Fujian-Guangdong Sea, right? ”
This is the crux of the matter, and it is also what Wu Zheng is most concerned about.
This time the plan to go south, even he was temporary, and arranged for Wang Yilin to take over Wang Deren's sailors, so that Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Yilin cooperated, intending to teach Zheng Chenggong a lesson, revenge for digging into his corner, and at the same time deterring Zheng Chenggong, so that he did not dare to go north to the sea area of eastern Zhejiang.
Therefore, since Shi Lang has long had the intention of betraying Zheng Chenggong, if he didn't come, what would Shi Lang choose? Except for Zheng Chenggong, there is only the Qing army in Fujian and Guangdong, does he want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty?
If that's the case, then I'm no wonder! Wu Zheng made a decision in his heart.
Wu Zheng has always believed that the harm of talented and unvirtuous people is far greater than that of untalented and virtuous people.
Therefore, if Shi Lang really has already decided to surrender, then he will be killed!
Wu Zheng was smiling and asked naturally, as if he was asking casually.
But Zhang Mingzhen heard the difference in Wu Zheng's tone.
Speaking of which, Zhang Mingzhen has Shi Lang a little holiday.
Two years ago, Wu Zheng led the Zhoushan Landscape Division, ran thousands of miles, rescued Longwu, and after succeeding, Wu Zheng left Zhang Mingzhen behind to help Longwu defend Fuzhou City.
At that time, Li Chengdong surrendered to Longwu, although Wu Zheng had the heart of revenge, but he was in the guest land, and Li Chengdong had already surrendered to Longwu, so he did not get his wish after all.
And Shi Lang was ordered by Li Chengdong at that time to lead his troops to cooperate with Zhang Mingzhen to defend the northern city, but it was also because Shi Lang was unruly and repeatedly collided with Zhang Mingzhen, which made Zhang Mingzhen very headache.
This also responds to the sentence, no matter how talented a person is, he also needs to be introverted.
Otherwise, the wood will show in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
And Shi Lang may not be called Xiumu.
But Zhang Mingzhen is also a person who cherishes talents, as a former temporary boss, his impression of Shi Lang is actually quite good.
People, there are always differences, some people can't see that their subordinates are more capable than themselves, or they are worried that their subordinates will be more powerful.
But some people are broad-minded, can tolerate the petty temper of their subordinates, are willing to tolerate, and don't even care that maybe one day, their subordinates will become their bosses.
But often, the former forces his subordinates, and the latter is always above his subordinates.
From ancient times to the present, heroes and heroes have one thing in common, that is, make good use of talents!
Zhang Mingzhen inadvertently stepped forward, bowed down and said: "Lord Wang, today Shi Lang can abandon the darkness and turn to the light and return to the prince, and he is always ......." ”
Wu Zheng frowned, stretched out his hand to open Zhang Mingzhen, and said to Shi Lang: "Answer this king's question truthfully, and you must not hide it." ”
Although Shi Lang's personality is reckless, his heart and eyes are still dexterous.
At this moment, cold sweat oozed from his back, and he quickly recalled that Wu Zheng was testing whether he would have the heart to surrender.
So he hurriedly said: "Wu Wang Rongyu, even if Shi is unjustly killed, he will not dare to have the heart to surrender...... Besides, Hao Shangjiu has a blood feud that killed my two brothers, how can I vote for him? Don't hide it from King Wu, in fact, before this war, Shi Mou intended to lead his troops to vote for King Wu by sea. ”
Wu Zheng had a calm face, glared at Zhang Mingzhen, and then said to Shi Lang: "There is one thing that this king can't understand, please solve your doubts." ”
Shi Lang arched his hand and said: "Although King Wu asked, Shi Mouzhi answered everything. ”
Wu Zheng said: "Your family is all in Fujian, how can the king of Yanping spare your family if you surrender?" Don't you worry about the safety of your loved ones? ”
This is what Wu Zheng is also worried about, if a person doesn't even care about the safety of his relatives, then even if he is talented, he is also an unreliable person, because he has no emotion and is cold-blooded, such a person is often betrayed at a critical juncture, or when he makes a life-and-death decision.
Shi Lang immediately replied: "Back to King Wu, when I decided to vote for King Wu, I informed my father and brother at home, and before I set out with King Yanping this time, I had sent someone to inform my family. ”
Wu Zheng asked, "Where is your family now?" ”
"I should go back to my hometown of Jinjiang."
