The first thing he did after returning to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion was, of course, to meet Yang Xingmi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

is also in the study in the front hall, but when they met this time, there were two fewer people than when they persuaded Yang Xingmi to send troops to Suzhou a few months ago, one Xu Wen went to Suzhou to serve as the assassin, and the other Dai Yougui went to Shouzhou.

After a salute, Yang Wu asked straight to the point: "Since my father sent an envoy to recall Tian Yan, the time for Tian Yan's rebellion is definitely not far off." I wonder if my father is ready to deal with it? ”

If he had just crossed over before to inquire about this kind of military affairs, Yang Xingmi was afraid that he might not tell him, but now it is naturally different. Especially the last time they persuaded Huainan to send troops to Suzhou, but in the end they won a big victory, which impressed everyone present, so at this time they also wanted to hear Yang Wu's opinion.

"Tian Yan is very polite to his subordinates, so his subordinates are more loyal to him, if Tian Yan rebels, these people are afraid that they will support him. On Zhu Yanshou's side, several of Zhu Yanshou's subordinates are still loyal to their father, and they have promised that if Zhu Yanshou rebels, they will be our internal response. ”

Yang Wu was overjoyed, and he also knew that Zhu Yanshou had made up his mind to rebel earlier than in history because of him. In history, after Tian Yu and An Renyi had rebelled, Zhu Yanshou did not immediately raise troops to respond, in the final analysis, Yang Wu in history was just a gentleman, so he did not give up the fantasy of becoming a legitimate Jiedu to stay behind at that time, and when Yang Xingmi pretended to be sick and asked him to go to Guangling to take over, he gave up the idea of raising troops and went to Guangling, and was killed.

But now the strategy of pretending to be sick obviously does not work, and Zhu Yanshou's determination to rebel must be stronger than in history, so Yang Wu was still worried about this, but he didn't expect that Yang Xingmi had prepared the internal response in advance.

Immediately, Yang Wu asked worriedly: "It's naturally good to have internal responses, but I don't know if these internal responses are reliable people?" What is your current position? ”

"The prince can rest assured that Mr. Dai has already gone over to watch it in person. Just the day before you returned, Mr. Dai also sent a letter, saying that he had personally spoken to the Nei Ying, and according to his observations, these people should be very reliable. "It's Gao Mian who speaks.

On the side, Yan Keqiu added: "There are a total of three people in Neiying, Zhu Yanshou's pro-army commander Cui Taichu, and Heiyundu's left and right commanders Li Hou and Lu Shizhou. ”

"It's them!" Yang Wu was secretly delighted, the positions of these three people were not low, and they were very critical, if they were to do the internal response, Zhu Yanshou would not have to worry. And Cui Taichu is also forgotten, Heiyun Capital is the most elite army in Huainan, and it would be a pity if it was lost because of civil strife. Moreover, Lu Shizhou was terrified in history because Yang Wu killed Zhou Yin, and fled to Hunan to join Ma Yin, and later became a famous general under Ma Yin, making great contributions to the establishment of the Chu State.

At this time, Yang Xingmi opened his mouth and said: "Zhu Yanshou is cruel and easy to kill, the military law is strict, and the combat effectiveness of the army is very strong, but it also causes his subordinates to have little loyalty to him. In the past, when he had his father's backing, it was okay, and the generals under his command would listen to his military orders; But now that he is preparing to raise an army against his father, those generals will naturally not have the same heart as him. ”

"There are many martial artists in the world today, and they all feel that such things as benevolence and righteousness have no effect at all, but they don't know that the army and the territory are easy to subdue, but this person's heart is difficult to subdue. Then Zhu Yanshou only thought that he had tens of thousands of strong troops under him, but how many people would serve him in a really critical moment? ”

"So there's nothing wrong with paying attention to military law, but there must be a degree, and killing alone can't convince the soldiers. Do you remember? Yang Xingmi looked at Yang Wu meaningfully and said.

Yang Wu's heart sank, recalling that he had killed people many times in the past in order to quickly control the army and rectify military discipline, and even many of the people who were killed were small, but in fact they did not have a way to die, and they all ordered execution in order to kill people. Is this for the sake of military justice or for the sake of prestige?

"Maybe it's time to change military law?" Yang Wu thought in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't know the drawbacks of his past practices, but first, he feels that time is pressing, since he entered the barracks in March, in order to quickly master the army and build a capable army before the rebellion of Feng Hongduo in June and the rebellion of Wuyongdu in August, he chose the method of killing people and establishing power; Second, I also feel that heavy codes are used in troubled times, and now that the soldiers in the feudal town are too unruly, they should use heavy punishment to warn the soldiers.

But now looking back, although his heavy punishment has also greatly improved the military discipline of the soldiers, it is impossible for him to grasp the matter of military discipline all the time, and after a long time, can these strict military discipline be maintained?

Isn't Zhu Yuanzhang's method of killing corrupt officials tough in history? But the corruption of the Ming Dynasty in later generations is still shocking? In the final analysis, the method of killing people at every turn is good for a short time, but it is difficult to implement it in the long run.

What's more, just like Yang Xingmi said, blindly killing people is too bad for winning people's hearts, and no one wants their boss to be a cruel and murderous person, right?

"Maybe it's time for Cui Su, who is in charge of military discipline, to reformulate a detailed list of military law rules!" Yang Wu secretly decided.

On the side, Yang Xingmi saw that he was deep in thought, and knew that he had understood what he meant, so he said with a smile: "It's good that Wu'er understands, but this matter is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to think about it after going down." Some time ago, Qingzhou's Pinglu Jiedu envoy Wang Shifan sent an envoy to say that he planned to raise troops to attack Zhu Quanzhong, hoping that my Huainan could raise troops to echo, do you have any views on this matter? ”

Yang Wu's eyes lit up, "Wang Shifan wants to raise troops?" This is a good thing, I can fight for a period of time for me to pacify the civil strife in Huainan, but it's just the end of Wang Shifan, I'm afraid it's a little bad. ”

Hearing the news that Wang Shifan had sent an envoy to contact him, Yang Wu breathed a sigh of relief. If it was because of his appearance that not only caused Zhu Yanshou to strengthen his determination to rebel, but also caused Wang Shifan not to raise troops to drag Zhu Quanzhong, then the civil strife in Huainan broke out, and Zhu Quanzhong took the opportunity to go south, then Huainan would be really dangerous.

Yan Keqiu also said with a smile: "What the prince said is very true, and we also think that Wang Shifan going to challenge Zhu Quanzhong is completely going to die, but with the strength of the Pinglu Jiedu envoy, Zhu Quanzhong will not want to defeat him for most of the time." ”

"Then we should eliminate Tian Yan and the three of them in these few months, if we are lucky that Wang Shifan has not been eliminated at that time, I Huainan can still send troops to support him!" Yang Wu continued.

For Yang Wu's idea, everyone present agreed, if they didn't take this opportunity to eliminate Huainan's internal troubles, they would be fools.

"However, although Tian Yan and the others are ambitious and ill-intentioned, they have not rebelled after all, if they rashly raise troops to fight against them, I am afraid that the generals of Huainan will not be convinced!"

Yang Xingmi was still a little hesitant, Tian Yan and Zhu Yanshou had a lot of credit after all, and there was no reason why they couldn't be moved casually.
