Chapter 018: Zhao Zongwu's ambition

Zhao Zongwu knew very well in his heart what kind of era the end of the Ming Dynasty was, so he didn't care about the so-called etiquette constraints.

Growing up in later generations, his awe of imperial power can be said to be equivalent to zero.

Since the moment Zhao Zongwu stepped on the land of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, in his heart, ambition had already begun to breed.

It's just that because of the three views shaped in later generations, he didn't publicize it for the first time.

Immediately afterwards, because of Zhu Youxiao, he constantly suppressed the breeding ambition in his heart.

But then the situation completely exceeded the established inertia of the wheel of history.

In the process of conquering Wang Jiayin's forces, Zhao Zongwu has been carrying out black-box operations, which also gave Ben several opportunities to completely quell the Shaanxi Liukou uprising, but he did not do so.

Zhao Zongwu knew very well in his heart that even if he led the army to eradicate Wang Jiayin and Wang Ziyong now, in the following time, Zhang Jiayin and Zhang Ziyong would still pop up.

After all, although the Ming Dynasty has completely deviated from the original trajectory because of his appearance, the leadership core that holds the central authority of the Ming Dynasty.

Fundamentally, nothing has changed substantially, and even because of the power of old nobles such as Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi, the situation has become more and more unfavorable.

During this time in the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Zongwu only understood one truth, the most untempting thing in this world is the human heart, because the human heart is the most fragile and complex existence in the world.

At the beginning, because of the existence of Zhao Zongwu, Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, these old nobles, in order to protect the authority in their hands, formed the largest counterbalance to the Dingguo Party, which also made Zhao Zongwu extremely restrained in everything he did during his stay in the capital.

Therefore, Zhao Zongwu also knew very well that if he wanted to really make Daming a deterrent in his hands, then he had to jump out of the inherent circle, so he walked out with the help of pacifying the Liukou.

In the early days of the conquest of the Liukou forces, Zhao Zongwu was only honest and did not put his mind on the capital, but with the in-depth territory of Shanxi, and some things happened in the process, he put his mind into the capital, the purpose was to separate the fragile relationship between Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi.

"The circulation of materials is the foundation to ensure whether the forces under his command have strong flexibility, since the first phase of the deployment of the three cities in the north has been completed, then the secretary and supervisor will guide the three cities in the north of the city to the second phase of the deployment that has been planned." The corners of Zhao Zongwu's mouth raised a little smile, and then he continued: "In this process, we also need to adjust the ratio of their respective interests to Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi.

Now Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi, although they are all in the capital and in the imperial court, but because of the various deployments made before, there has been a big gap between them, so that Zhang Weixian and they are no longer as close as before, which is the most beneficial existence for the development of our forces. ”

Yang Dang's expression was a little clear, and then he inquired: "Grandpa Guo, do you mean to increase the profit sharing ratio for Xu Xi and Zhu Chunchen, and reduce the profit sharing ratio for Zhang Weixian?" ”

"You're right!" Zhao Zongwu said: "Just a naturalized city, he Zhang Weixian alone can share more than three million taels of silver, not to mention the interests of Zhu Chunchen and Xu Xi."

Now that the three cities of Saibei have completed the first stage of primitive accumulation, their dependence on Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi has been reduced a lot, but at this stage, it is not the time for our department to completely separate Zhang Weixian and them from the three cities of Saibei.

However, we can take advantage of the transformation of the three cities in Saibei to further provoke the relationship between Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi.

You must know that there are no eternal allies or eternal enemies in this world, only the eternal and unchanging interests are constantly controlling the situation. ”

With the increasing power in Zhao Zongwu's hands, he has also gotten rid of the low-stage desire for control, and he is gradually getting rid of that primitive desire for control!

He no longer needs to go through hot blood to get that pleasure from the inside out.

In the past two years, Zhao Zongwu has been working hard to change himself, and gradually removed himself from the army, this removal is the aspect of leading the army to fight, with the continuous stabilization of his position, there is no need for him, a big boos, to personally go to the most dangerous places to fight.

The clarity of the 15 commanders and the appointment of the 45 corps commanders make the Nine-Sided Marshal's Mansion at this stage sufficient to deal with all contingencies.

In the same way, the increasingly powerful naval force is enough to deal with any contingencies.

"According to the intelligence summary from Jinyiwei, the current trend of struggle in the capital is to use Zhu Chunchen and Xu Xi to check and balance Zhang Weixian." Following Zhao Zongwu's words, Yang dared to speak: "But according to some hidden circumstances, although Zhu Chunchen and Xu Xi joined forces, there were also some gaps between them, which also made the factions in the DPRK and China seriously dispersed. ”

The corners of Zhao Zongwu's mouth raised slightly: "It's right to have such a situation, since Zhu Chunchen and Xu Xi are already in the middle, then we can't let Zhu Chunchen and Xu Xi and them, while doubting each other in their hearts, have to endure their dislike and unite together."

It's an unhappy thing in itself.

Therefore, while weakening Zhang Weixian's forces, it is also necessary to further speed up the alliance between Zhu Chunchen and Xu Xi, and eventually achieve a situation in which the three parties in the DPRK and China are separated and the three parties are contending with each other.

A united alliance of national and public forces is not conducive to the next deployment of our ministry at all, and if we want to obtain the ultimate benefits, we must muddy the overall situation between the DPRK and China. ”

Unlike Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, Zhao Zongwu unreservedly showed his deep ambition in the Secretary and Supervision Committee.

Because the person who can enter the secretary and prison is definitely his confidant, and there is nothing worth nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty, so let them do the things of plotting to usurp the throne, and their hearts are a million excited.

In the life of the secretary and supervisor, it is Zhao Zongwu's unreserved moment, in order to let the Huaxia clan move towards the strong road he deployed earlier, he doesn't mind letting the party strife in Daming become serious again, after all, if you want to completely rectify this Huaxia that has been rotten to the bones, you must use the most fierce medicine!
