27 Zhu Yuanzhang's story
"If we understand the spirit of the contract, we understand our purpose, and our purpose is definitely not to kill for the sake of our own glory and wealth, nor to kill people for the sake of killing, but to establish our own government, a government that pays attention to order and brings the spirit of contract into play, and this is the purpose of our rebellion. With such a goal in mind, the next thing we have to do is move towards that goal. Shang Wu said.
"In order to achieve this, we need a lot, a lot of people involved, Shinong business, we need some knowledgeable people, they know more things, and we need more education. Knowledge to arm our minds, and businessmen don't talk about it. They will bring us more goods, we need these necessities, farmers, we need food. Craftsmen, they have the technology, they are the people who can provide us with agricultural tools and weapons, so these people, we have to attract them to us. Instead of killing them by killing them. Killing people will only produce more resentment, which is contrary to our establishment of a government in the spirit of contract. Shang Wu said with a wave of his arms.
At this time, all the soldiers understood why they didn't kill the officers and soldiers, they were all people who had signed the spirit of the contract, they had goals and ideals.
"When I say this, you may not understand, many people sound confused, they are sleepy." Shang Wu said.
"In this way, I will tell a story, and through this story, everyone can understand what we are going to do at the moment." Shang Wu said.
"In other words, there was a dynasty called, the Yuan Dynasty. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the government spent a lot of money, and the Yellow River was flooded, and it didn't rain, and the drought was very high. Shang Wu said. What he wants to talk about is the peasant uprising of the Red Turban Army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, although this is very straightforward, but they can understand it, because they all have similar experiences, and this similar experience will resonate with them.
"Natural disasters are not terrible, what is terrible is man-made disasters, at this time, the government should open a warehouse to release grain, so that the society can be stabilized, the hateful thing is that the government did not do this, but increased more taxes, there is no way, a red turban army like us developed, they fought on this government, at the beginning, their discipline was the same as ours, robbing and killing people everywhere, at the beginning they killed the wicked, the people in the government, but what was the result? Although the Red Turban Army has developed greatly, the problem is that they have no prospects, and at this time, a different Red Turban Army appeared. This team is called Zhu Yuanzhang, and they do a good job, first of all, they don't kill, rob, or rape ** women. And they continue to protect the people, they get a lot of support, the people will provide them with food, the children of the family, let them join the army, some scholars, also join them, because, the scholars have this. Shang Wu pointed to his head.
"They have knowledge, and one of them has put forward a very constructive point, which is to accumulate grain, slow down the king, and build a high wall." Shang Wu said.
"Food, is to feed more troops, slow king, do you think they are still the Yellow Turban Army, can unite more people, join their army, build a high wall, is to constantly expand their base area, so that their base area has a stable society, we can also do the same." Shang Wu said.
"And if we want to succeed, we must make three chapters of the law, and we can't kill at will." Shang Wu said.
"Sir, go on. We really want to hear this, listen to this, Zhu, Zhu what's coming. One soldier asked with a smile.
"Zhu Yuanzhang." Shang Wu replied.
"Yes, sir, go on, Zhu Yuanzhang, we have to listen to this Zhu Yuanzhang's story, we want to know what happened to this Zhu Yuanzhang?" A lot of people asked.
"Alright. Time is pressing, I'll tell you later, I can tell you the end of the story, now I have one thing, three chapters of the law, you can't kill at will. Shang Wu said solemnly.
"Chapter 3 of the Law, don't kill at will." Everyone replied solemnly.
"Good. The end of this story is that Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, and this Zhu Yuanzhang also worked as a beggar, he just wanted food, and he asked for food, and finally became the emperor, are we people worse than Zhu Yuanzhang? Shang Wu asked. The crowd was in an uproar.
"If you want food, you can really become an emperor. Sir, you can't be a liar, right? Many people asked suspiciously.
"It's a true story, don't doubt it, okay. The whole army was reorganized and kept busy with its own affairs. Shang Wu quickly ended the meeting. However, such a story gave many of his subordinates a shocking blow, and a person who asked for food was able to become an emperor. This is simply unimaginable, but they also remember another rule, that is, if you want to succeed and live a good life, you have to make three chapters of the law, and you can't kill at will.
There is still a lot of work for Shangwu, and many people have been added to the troops, and after this speech, more than 20 people from Lijiazhuang asked to join the team, so that the size of Shangwu's troops has reached more than 100 people, which is a very good result.
The troops need to be reorganized. Shangwu planned to let Lao Mu come to the platoon leader of course, transfer a few squad leaders, and re-establish a platoon, of course. The personnel are mixed, with the backbone of the original first platoon and the second platoon, the people of Lijiazhuang, and the officers and soldiers who have taken refuge in them, and the composition is extremely complicated.
Shangwu decided to focus on it.
"You can see the situation in a row. Now one of our platoons can be expanded to more than 50 people, but the composition is very complicated, the officers and soldiers, Li Jiazhuang, the backbone, and the platoon of soldiers with low morale, your work is very difficult. Shang Wu said after finding Lao Mu.
"Sir, I know this, but I'll fix it." Lao Mu said.
"That, sir, I want to know, that, that Zhu Yuanzhang, has really become the emperor? The story is so legendary. One asks for food, and? I can't believe it. Lao Mu shook his head and said.
"Hmm. Sounds real, right? Shang Wu asked with a smile.
"Well, it's true, but I can't believe it." Lao Mu said.
"Dare to think, dare to do, this thing is true, there is a place, there is really such a person, and it has succeeded. This is a successful experience, and we need to learn from it. Shang Wu said.
"Yes, sir." Lao Mu said.
