"Greeting the Messenger?" The leaders were at a loss for a while, and Miao Mei couldn't help but say loudly: "Brother Zhu, don't we accept the appeasement?" Why are you going to welcome what bullshit to appease the messenger? In my opinion, if you don't greet these birdmen, just kick them down the hill with a few kicks. β
"You kicked him down the mountain with a few legs, and you can breathe a breath in front of you, but then the continuous attack of the imperial court, do you have the confidence to withstand it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked rhetorically.
"......" Miao Mei was speechless.
Desperately Saburo stretched out his hand and patted Miao Mei on the shoulder: "Don't be in a hurry to shout, every time Zhu Bugs does something, it is well thought out, he said that if you want to greet the appeasement, there must be a reason to greet it, you just listen quietly, jump out halfway to interrupt the eldest brother's words, how impolite." β
This is the difference between the new leader and the old leader, the old leader has followed Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, and knows his ability and way of doing things, so no matter how strange he hears it, he will not rush out to give advice, and he can completely trust his eldest brother. But it often takes a certain amount of time for the new leader to know how much Zhu Yuanzhang has ability, and he has to wait until that time to fully believe in him, so that he can reach the point of thinking in tune with his own leader.
Therefore, since ancient times, the superiors have loved to use the old ministers, especially those old brothers who started from poverty, and they can share the same heart and mind. Some of the best in later generations don't understand this truth, sometimes when it comes to colleagues or bosses in the company, they can't help but complain and say: "My boss has no fart ability, that is, he came to the company a few years earlier than me, and he got on the top by patting the boss's ass", this statement is biased, a few years earlier, it is an advantage that is difficult to catch up, and you need to use great perseverance to cross this obstacle.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and motioned to Saburo to stop talking, and then analyzed seriously: "Your brothers have not been mixed in the court, so you don't know how the officials do things. If you want to drag time with the imperial court, the best way is to follow the general direction of the imperial court, but make trouble with them on small issues. β
"I don't understand!" The leaders were all big and rude, and they couldn't find their way at all when they heard these words.
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "The so-called follow the general direction of the imperial court, that is to say, if the imperial court wants to appease us, we will promise with our mouths full of promises, and put on a picture that we listen to the words of the imperial court, as long as you put on such a posture, the civil officials will feel that the thieves in this cottage are all 'good people' and worth saving, and they will not allow the generals to use troops against us......"
He paused here before continuing, "Then what's the little problem and the trouble with them?" That is, in the details of the appeasement, deliberately twisting with them, for example, the court asked us to go to Baishui City to accept the appeasement, we deliberately said that the feng shui of Baishui City was not good, and we wanted to change to Chengcheng, or that the day of the fuss was not the emperor's auspiciousness, and they had to change the time. For example, if the imperial court wants us to return to our hometown after disbandment, we prefer to say that the original fields of our family are barren and we need the imperial court to arrange another fertile land for us...... In short, we promised to be cared for, but put forward all kinds of nonsense. β
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, the leaders seemed to understand something, and Saburo couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Zhu, what do you mean is that as long as you do this, the court will mess up and drag on the matter of this appeasement." β
"That's right!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "The civil officials will take back the request we put forward and discuss it, discuss it for one day, discuss it for two days, and discuss it for three days...... No one knows better than me what the civil servants are, and when they discuss the matter of sesame mung beans, they can discuss it for a long time, and then wait for them to come up with a result...... The daylilies are cold. β
When the leaders heard this, they immediately laughed, and Wang Er couldn't help but say: "That is, I heard that when Mr. Storyteller talks about commenting on books, he often talks about those corrupt officials who don't work, they only know how to have fun and enjoy, and as soon as they discuss something, they are full of bags and can't grasp the direction." β
His wife Ying Shanhong also laughed and said: "That is, when we went to the rivers and lakes to perform arts, we also heard about this, and I heard that the big men of the imperial court, in order to discuss who should do a small matter, can be pulled for more than ten days." β
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to these things they said, and he was amused, and he sighed in his heart...... What you see and hear is only the affairs of the petty officials, if you know the affairs of the first- and second-class officials of the court, I am afraid that you will die of laughter. For example, in the dispute over the national capital of the Wanli Dynasty, the emperor and the ministers fought for a whole thirty years for a matter that was not very complicated. If this matter falls in the Hongwu Dynasty where Zhu Yuanzhang is located, he will decide with one word, who dares to talk nonsense and discipline other people's heads to the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang has been wandering in the sky for hundreds of years, and he has seen too many things that officials are talking about, so he knows very well that if the cottage agrees to accept the appeasement, but deliberately makes things difficult for the envoys of the court in small matters, then it will not be long before the officials in charge of the appeasement work will start to talk about it...... It's a sure thing.
As long as they pull the skin for two and a half months, the predicament that the cottage is facing now will come to naught.
When the leaders arrived, they also understood Zhu Bugling's plan, and a smile rose on everyone's faces, Zhu Bugling is a very serious person, usually commanding the cottage, he is very rigorous, very dignified, and he can feel that his command has a kingly spirit. But this time, the plan was a bit funny, it was simply a prank, and it was very different from the usual style, so all the leaders couldn't help laughing.
Everyone quickly dispersed, to the cottage to arrange in various places, first of all, to hide the sharp weapons, this hidden weapons must have a knowledge, if you hide them in the depths of the cave, if the cottage is attacked by surprise, it is inconvenient to use. It must be hidden in a place that is both hidden and readily accessible. So they dug shallow pits in various places on the hillside, scattered their weapons in them, covered them with a thin cloth, and sprinkled them with dirt, and when they needed to use them, they just lifted the cloth that covered them.
It's easier to do things like rolling logs and rocks, just pile them up to look like some simple building. What is more difficult to do is the two large ballista cars set up in front of the gate of the main village mountain, and everyone dismantled the ballista into parts and stacked them there, looking like a pile of messy wood.
After two days of preparation, Huanglong Cottage seems to have become a small village outside the world, there is no smell of blood at all, only a few sentries carry wooden spears, showing that this village is slightly different from ordinary villages.
A few days later, when there were still about sixty days before Zhu Yuanzhang's estimated time, the appeasement envoys of the imperial court finally came.
It was not one person who came, but a group of people, the first civil official, who was unknown to everyone, and looked at him dressed like a patrol imperial history. He was surrounded by more than fifty elite soldiers, followed by a thousand-level military attachΓ©, this military attache was everyone's old acquaintance, the Lord of Xi'an Mansion, Yang Hong.
It turned out that after the imperial history Wu Fu decided to try to appease him, the civil officials in his team finally selected a bold patrol according to the imperial history, this inspector of the imperial history is called Lian Guoshi, and is a friend of the imperial history Wu Fu, who is honest and upright, with clean sleeves and a good reputation among the people, which is suitable for appeasing the liukou.
It is not enough for civil officials to go, but also to be escorted by military generals, and Yang Hong, the lord of a thousand households in Xi'an, volunteered to follow. Because he led troops to attack the cottage, he is quite familiar with the mountain road. Moreover, since Yang Hong was defeated by Zhu Ba, he has been ridiculed by his colleagues and insulted by his wife.
This small team of more than 50 people, after three days of crawling and rolling in the rugged Huanglong Mountain, finally came to the Huanglong Cottage. Patrol according to the imperial history of the state is a literati with no hands to tie the chicken, this way he has really worked hard, this time to see that he is going to Huanglong cottage, he can't help but take a breath, sigh: "The difficulty of this place is comparable to Shu Dao!" Luckily, I finally came over and could breathe a sigh of relief. β
Yang Hong, who was next to him, said in a low voice: "Master Lian, don't be relaxed, this Baishui Zhuba is a powerful character, last time I led troops to suppress him, but he was defeated by his conspiracy and tricks, and the elite soldiers were defeated, let's appease this time, it's not a simple matter, please be sure to cheer up!" β
"Is this Zhu Ba very strong?" Lian Guoshi was a little disapproving, and snorted: "Camp in such poor mountains and bad waters, don't dare to go out of the mountain, I think he is much less timid than those rogues." I don't understand, what is there to be afraid of such bandits who are cowering in the mountains? You and General Du both vigorously said that Zhu Ba was powerful, hmph, it was obvious that your generals wanted to cover up their failures, so they deliberately said that the enemy was powerful. β
"This ...... The last general is not nonsense, Master Lian will understand when he sees Zhu Ba's cottage for a while. Yang Hong said seriously: "This person is strong and strong, and the village is also built in a very orderly manner, and the rolling wood and stones are piled up like a mountain, which is quite difficult to deal with, and it is far from being comparable to ordinary rogues." β
When the two of them said this, they walked through a forest, and as soon as the vision in front of them opened, the Huanglong Cottage had already appeared in front of them.
When Lian Guoshi heard Yang Hong say solemnly, he was also a little vigilant, so he widened his eyes vigorously and looked forward......
In front of him, there is a small mountain village that has no quarrel with the world, a large area of farmland is cultivated on the hillside, it is May day at this time, the crops in the field are growing well, the spring rain of the previous days gave these plants enough water, it can be said that the mountain is full of green, very eye-catching, a group of farmers hooked their waists, busy in the field.
On the top of the field, there is the cottage, the village is mainly formed around the mountain, the villagers in the village live in the cave, so from the outside of the mountain, you can see that there are many black caves on the top of the mountain, some villagers wear coarse cloth clothes and sit at the entrance of the cave, drink tea and chat......
There were some soldiers at the gate of the cottage, but from a distance, there were not many soldiers, and there were only a few of them, and the weapons in their hands were nothing more than wooden sticks, wooden spears, hoes and other things.
Combat? Of the blackest dye? I didn't see it at all, but I felt that this cottage was quite peaceful and quiet: "This ...... This is the very powerful Huanglong cottage you are talking about? β
Yang Hong: "......"
