Chapter 41: Quelling the Mutiny

As for saying that the prison army interfered with the command of the general, this is completely overthinking. The author believes that no matter who is asked to be the overseer, he will not dictate the command of the general, because in this way, once the battle is lost, the general will put the responsibility on him, saying that he is blindly commanding. No prison officer would be so stupid.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the famous Ningjin victory was achieved under the condition of supervising the army, and if someone supervises, everyone will die hard, which is a truth that is not easy for eternity.

Zhu Ao admired Lao Zhu's Jinyi Guard system, allowing him to grasp all the information of the empire without knowing it or unknowingly, so he also moved this system to Su Domain.

The Jinyi Guard chosen by Zhu Ao is the Honor Guard Division, the Honor Guard Division is responsible for the security of the palace and the honor guard, which can only be similar to the Jinyi Guard's appearance, and the Honor Guard is his own henchman, so this kind of work is naturally handed over to him to do.

Just a few days ago, the guard of honor received a secret report that a thousand households in Liangzhou Wei (Wuwei) were plotting a mutiny.

Although Zhu Ao is vigorously developing animal husbandry to raise grain at this time, he is a person with a steady nature, and he will do everything for the worst, what if animal husbandry does not develop? Therefore, it is necessary to save a little bit of food. This is very similar to Lao Zhu, the reason why Lao Zhu can win the world is because of his steady style.

Although Zhu Ao also explained his difficulties, and promised that after the bumper harvest next year, he would definitely pay back the principal with interest.

However, such a thing as a reduction in treatment will always cause dissatisfaction among people, and some soldiers have already complained behind their backs, and some people even said that Zhu Ao did not believe in his words.

For their feelings, Zhu Ao can also understand that in later generations, he also complained about the low salary, because he didn't pay attention to it.

However, a few days ago, Che Gang secretly reported to him that a thousand households in Liangzhou Wei used this as an excuse to spread rumors and slander Zhu Ao, saying that he was flying all the birds and hiding his good bow. said that Zhu Ao dared to do this because he saw that the sergeants were bullying, and incited everyone to make trouble, so as to give Zhu Ao some color.

Zhu Ao attaches great importance to this matter, everything related to stability is a major matter, not to mention that Lao Zhu Lai will split his head and cover his face and ask you, are you not afraid of provoking a mutiny by doing this? If he really provoked a mutiny, and some well-intentioned people added fuel and vinegar to Lao Zhu, then Lao Zhu would have a completely negative attitude towards his own approach, and maybe he would be cut off with a wave of his hand.

After Zhu Ao knew about this, he didn't say anything to anyone, and he didn't even tell Dai Nu and Lan Youcheng, not that he couldn't believe them, the so-called conspiracy was made by secret, and words were defeated, and one more person knew, after all, there was more danger. He secretly ordered Chegang to send his secret agents to closely monitor and strive to catch the evidence of their rebellion as soon as possible.

The spies lived up to expectations and found out that they planned to make trouble on Zhu Ao's birthday, taking advantage of Zhu Ao's and the civil and military officials of the Su clan who were busy celebrating and neglecting their precautions. If you succeed, you can say anything, but if you fail, you will run to the desert and defect to the Mongols, which can be described as foolproof.

However, just when they were making a bloody alliance in that thousand-family family and preparing to start an incident, they were arrested by the people of the Honor Guard Division, and everyone was stolen.

Zhu Ao ordered the car post to sit down and said: "A small thousand households dare to risk the disapproval of the world, if there is no one behind them, the ghosts will not believe it." Is this interrogation clear? ”

Che Gang said: "After the minister captured them, he just asked a few simple questions, and then rushed to report to His Highness, that Qianhu's mouth was very hard, and he didn't ask anything, but the minister had seen his resume, and he was an old subordinate of the Marquis of Changxing." ”

It turned out that this was the case, Zhu Ao nodded and said: "This king really didn't guess wrong, without this big man behind his back, what waves can a small thousand households make?" ”

Che Gang said: "Your Highness, the minister has a way to pry open that person's mouth, do you want to monitor the Marquis of Changxing now, and then take it down together when you get the evidence." ”

Zhu Ao stood up and paced around the room, thinking about future countermeasures, it was obvious that this matter had nothing to do with Geng Bingwen, who Geng Bingwen was needless to say, that master was staring all day long to find fault with the vassal king. They have sufficient motives and conditions to commit crimes.

However, is it really good to do what the car post says? Geng Bingwen was a person sent by the imperial court, and there was a prince of the current dynasty to support him, so he took him down with only a confession from a prisoner, I am afraid it would be too pale. The opponent will have plenty of opportunities to counter-attack him.

If this lawsuit goes to Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu is afraid that he will not face him. Zhu Yunwen is the successor carefully cultivated by Lao Zhu, he is just a vassal king in a remote area, he is not favored, and he does not have the support of a strong maternal family. Even if Lao Zhu knew what was going on, he wouldn't do anything to Zhu Yunwen, at most he would kill that thousand households.

However, since then, hasn't this king completely offended the grandson? If Zhu Yunwen was just guarding himself out of fear of the vassal king before, then in this way, he would have a gritted hatred for himself. Maybe as soon as he comes to power, he won't go to practice with King Zhou's unlucky guys, and he will get himself up.

Besides, if he did this, what would Lao Zhu think? Will he think that he has made such a big deal for such a matter, so that he and his grandson can't get off the stage, and it is too trivial to make a fuss, violating the "friendship of relatives" that he has always advocated?

The more Zhu Ao thought about it, the more frightened he became, he didn't feel a cold sweat behind his back, turned his head to Che Gang and said, "Don't ask anything, immediately escort those important criminals to the capital and hand them over to the imperial court for interrogation." Their families were sent to slavery in slave camps. ”

Handed over to the imperial court for interrogation is to hand over people to Lao Zhu and Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Ao wants to use this to show them that he has no intention of investigating this matter.

Che Gang didn't understand Zhu Ao's intention for a while, and said, "However, there are obviously people behind them." ”

Zhu Ao shook his head and said, "The water behind here is too deep, you don't understand." Do as the king says, for you have made a meritorious service this time, and the king will reward you well. ”

When it came to this, Che Gang couldn't say anything, so he hugged his fists and said: "The minister obeys the order, and it is the minister's honor to do things for His Highness." ”

Zhu Ao waved his hand and motioned for him to step back. This matter is finally over, and I hope that it can be used to deter the soldiers and make them do their duty.

Zhu Ao knew in his heart that the army was the pillar of his foothold in Hexi and the sharp weapon in his hand. But it is precisely because of this that the management of the army should be stricter, otherwise those military leaders are not afraid of themselves and do not obey orders, which will cause the situation of the Tang Dynasty's feudal towns being divided, and may even rebel against themselves.
