After listening to the narration of the three generals, the surprise in Yang Mu's heart became stronger and stronger.

It turned out that the nobles of Zheng Guo actually played like this......

This also makes sense, why in just a few months, Zheng Guo's court was so turbulent,

First of all, Zheng Han waved his army south, defeated Shen Guo, and his prestige soared, and the number of nobles who supported him in the country increased suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Kang couldn't sit still, and hurriedly formed an army and embarked on the road of no return to invade Cangguo, and the nobles in the camp were almost one-sided, and they were all attached to Zheng Han.

Then, Zheng Han's southern invasion failed, and he returned, and the nobles in the camp fell to the eldest prince Zheng Xiong.

Yang Mu had to sigh, it was really a complete chain of interests, a few days ago he was still despising those nobles of Zheng Guo for not being disciplined, but now he understands that the nobles of Zheng Guo are all some master traders, and they are thieves with one hand Tai Chi!

It's like the stock market in later generations, where to buy where to buy, but even if you are not satisfied with the position, you will not clear the position......

In contrast, those nobles who never participate in the struggle for the throne in Cangguo are like nouveau riche, who will only buy houses under heavy purchase restrictions, determined to be a stable charter public......

This is not an opportunity to take advantage of......

A thought flashed through Yang Mu's mind, the nobles of Zheng Guo are familiar with the routine of putting eggs in different baskets, so as a powerful threat to Zheng Guo, why can't Cangguo become another basket?

Could it be that Cangguo is not as good as a prince?

Thinking of this, Yang Mu looked at the three generals with a smile and said, "Since the three of you are willing to submit, are you willing to meet Zheng Guo's army on the battlefield?" ”

Gu Fengnan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said truthfully: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, if you want the criminal minister to lead troops to attack Zheng Guo, it will indeed bring trouble to the family...... However, if His Majesty is willing to forgive our family once he captures Zheng Guo, the criminal ministers are willing to be ruthless and let them be driven, and there will be no second thoughts! ”

"The same is true for the criminal ministers, the family installed us under Zheng Kang's command just to protect the interests of the family, if we want to fight against our own family, it is really a bit ......" Gu Yi hesitated slightly, but still told his truth.

"The guilty minister also has the same point of view, but the criminal minister is originally a concubine, and he doesn't have much nostalgia for the family, but there is an old mother, a wife and children in the family, if Your Majesty breaks through the Zheng State, please forgive them." Yang Hong said.

After listening to the statements of the three of them, Yang Mu thought in his heart, it seemed that his guess was correct, for the nobles of Zheng Guo, they didn't mind having one more way, compared to the interests of the country, the interests of the family were the most priority.

And the object of these generals' allegiance is not Zheng Guo or Zheng Kang, but their own family, which is the same mentality as some domestic gate valves.

If you can rely on this weakness to promote a group of people who sincerely take refuge in the rest of the low-level generals, and reorganize an army structure, then he will play a pivotal role in his plan, and maybe Cangguo can use this to add an army!

Thinking of this, Yang Mu said: "Cangguo's war against Zheng is unstoppable, I can promise here, all the families who have made contributions to Zheng, I will regard them as the nobles of my country, and their status will remain unchanged, if you make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, you will get excellent results after the war, and it will not be a problem to expand the family industry by one or two times!" ”

One or two times ......

Hearing this, the three of them secretly swallowed their saliva.

Returning to Cangguo, not only can you lead the army to be a general, but also get such a big benefit for the family, it is simply too cost-effective!

This is not a question of love or not and loyalty, in this world there is no clear concept of patriotism at all, in the consciousness of the nobility, the family takes precedence!

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, if the criminal minister is meritorious, how should those soldiers who follow us to fight hard?" At this time, Gu Fengnan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Nearly half of these peasant soldiers were recruited by our various families, and a large part of them were private soldiers on the battlefield, and we can't care about their life and death." ”

"Huh? You are all generals yourselves, can you still control them? Yang Mu smiled coldly and said, "If they are willing to submit, they will arrange it by themselves, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

"The sinner knows his mistake! The guilty minister obeys His Majesty's arrangement! The three of them hurriedly admitted their mistakes, realizing their trespassing, from the moment they were captured, those ordinary soldiers no longer had anything to do with them, even if they wanted to be pardoned or given a chance, this favor could only be the emperor alone.

In fact, Yang Mu had already thought about this problem.

In his thinking, there was never the concept of dividing the hierarchy according to the country, and the population of Zheng was nearly twice as large as that of Cangguo, and if he relied on violent means to rule the majority with a minority, it would be a kind of self-isolation, losing his expansion and vitality.

Therefore, since we want to implement national equality, we should first pay attention to the issues that the common people are most concerned about, and the issues that these soldiers are most concerned about - land and meritorious lords!

This is the same as Cangguo, the first of the three major decrees is to pay attention to, that is, these two.

And for Zheng Guo, the most important embodiment is - Juntian!

It means that after conquering the land of Zheng State, not to mention whether it can be defended, the first thing to do is to release the news that all the land of the nobles will be nationalized and divided into basic farmland, which will be under the control of the government and distributed equally among ordinary civilians according to the population.

Coupled with the same policy of light punishment and meager endowment as Cangguo, the meritorious treatment enjoyed by the degraded pawn is enough to make the people in Zheng go crazy.

This is a kind of interest bundling, the interests of the people of Zheng Guo and Cangguo are tied together, and everywhere they pass, the common people carry pots and pulp, welcome the soldiers of Cangguo to station, and even actively assist to overthrow the imperial rule of Zheng Guo together!

So, he first said to the three generals: "Since the three of you want to submit, then give a little sincerity, in the ranks of these ordinary soldiers, there should still be some generals who are confused in the past, you go over, kill all those people." ”

"Sinner, obey—"

Obviously, Gu Fengnan, Gu Yi, and Yang Hong had expected that when several guards threw the knives at their feet, they all bent down to pick up the knives on the ground, and walked to the team step by step, looking for the generals who were hidden in the team.

For them, since they have decided to take refuge in Cangguo and find a new way out for their family, all the hostile families and those noble generals are already incompatible enemies.

One, two, three......

The three of them were very decisive, searched carefully in the queue, as long as they saw familiar noble generals, they all pulled out one by one, and then checked their identities a little, and directly hacked them to death in the other party's verbal abuse.

After hacking a dozen people to death one after another, the knives of the three were already dyed red, and their bodies were covered in blood.
