The celebrity effect is not only Zhu Yongxing. Li Dingguo's outstanding military achievements and outstanding character were the idols admired by countless people at that time, and they were also the core of many Ming army generals. That kind of invisible coercion and awe even affected the thinking and actions of the generals of the Ming army.

It is precisely because of this reason that Yi Cheng, Ma Bao and others hope that Zhu Yongxing will suspend the disposal of Tang Yaozong in order to have a good relationship with Li Dingguo. There is no right or wrong in itself, just a different way of thinking and a different perspective.

"Your Highness, is this going to be powerful? It's just that the King of Jin is not easy to explain......" Ma Baole, the king of Ruyang, stopped, looked at Tang Yaozong's men and horses abandoning their weapons and walked out of the barracks, frowning and speculating on Zhu Yongxing's thoughts.

Tang Yaozong took the generals in the army to greet Zhu Yongxing, but he never expected Zhu Yongxing to suddenly change his face and be captured in one fell swoop. Since Zhu Yongxing was determined to make a move, Ma Bao, Liu Zhen and others, who were already prepared, had no choice but to act according to the contingency plan and surrounded Tang Yaozong's military camp. In the shouting of "only punish the evildoers, and never ask questions", the leaderless garrison finally chose to abandon their weapons and go out of the camp after a period of turmoil.

Although the operation went smoothly, all the generals were puzzled, and they didn't know why Zhu Yongxing suddenly changed his hexagram and used this thunderous method. Although Zhu Yongxing was left behind in the clan, temporarily supervised the power of the country, was in charge of hundreds of officials, and dealt with a general soldier who broke the law, he did not exceed his authority. But after all, Tang Yaozong is a subordinate general sent by Li Dingguo, so it should be better to say hello first and give Li Dingguo enough face, right?

Now, didn't Zhu Yongxing's resolute handling cast a shadow over his first meeting with Li Dingguo?

……………

Zhu Yongxing did not regret it, he knew that he had crossed a threshold psychologically, and he had also put his position back in the right position. After getting out of the psychological shadow of historical celebrities and famous generals, he has become more confident, which is good for future actions.

"Pingyang Hou, Tang Yaozong's illegal and bad deeds will be investigated by you, and the soldiers and horses led by you will also be purged and commanded. When the king of Jin arrives, and then he will deal with it, what do you think? ”

Zhu Yongxing showed the power of thunder in front of the people who greeted him, and now it was time to turn around the relationship with Li Dingguo. Capture Tang Yaozong without making the last disposition and leave it to Li Dingguo to decide, which is undoubtedly to give Li Dingguo a face. According to the folk saying: beating a dog depends on the owner. There is nothing wrong with putting evil dogs in cages; Regardless of whether it is indiscriminate or not, it will be a bit too much to say.

Moreover, Zhu Yongxing also chose a suitable person to do the investigation and conviction and other matters, that is, Pingyang Hou Jin Tongwu. Historically, Li Dingguo entrusted his subordinate general Jin Tongwu to Pingyang Hou before his death, and ordered his son Li Sixing to worship him as his adoptive father, which shows Li Dingguo's trust in him.

In this way, Zhu Yongxing appears to be very fair. It is not to fabricate charges and deliberately embarrass Li Dingguo, nor is it to annex Li Dingguo's people, but just to judge things with crimes, and nothing else.

Pingyang Hou Jin Tongwu had already read Tang Yaozong's accusation of robbing and killing the merchants, and his face was very ugly, and he hated Tang Yaozong to death. It was not Zhu Yongxing who slapped Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, in the face, but this bastard with a lust for profit. It's just that he was also a little dissatisfied in his heart, and felt that Zhu Yongxing should privately reveal the matter to Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, and let Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, deal with it.

"King Li Jin has always been disciplined in governing the army, and Qiu did not commit any crimes. Tang Yaozong harmed the merchants and disturbed the people, and tarnished the reputation of the king of Jin and the reputation of the king, and his crime was unforgivable. Zhu Yongxing was unhappy in his heart, and said patiently: "If the king of Jin is here, he will be beheaded as soon as possible, and his name will be strict." Pingyang Hou, don't you think so? ”

Jin Tongwu was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and replied, "What His Highness said is very true. Tang Yaozong killed merchants and seized goods, profited from self-fattening, and not killing was not enough to strictly enforce military discipline. If His Royal Highness Jin learns about it, he will behead it for public display to inform the army and the people. ”

Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly and said: "This matter of investigating his crimes and purging military discipline will be handed over to the Marquis of Pingyang." robbing and killing merchants, the sergeant obeys the order, the crime is only in Tang, and if he can forgive, he will forgive; If there is any act of disturbing the people and harming the people, then the sin is oneself and should not be forgiven. The degree of leniency and severity can be mastered by Pingyang Hou, and it should be the least implicated and the least impactful. ”

"The last general will obey His Highness's orders." Jin Tong Wu knew that he had to take over this errand, not only to accept Zhu Yongxing's care on behalf of Li Dingguo, but also to create an opportunity for Li Dingguo to make amends and recover his influence.

Zhu Yongxing looked at Jin Tongwu's retreating back, smiled bitterly, and gently tapped the table thoughtfully. Although Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, has a stubborn personality and often quarrels when encountering problems, he does not seem to be a person with a small belly. In the dispute with Sun Kewang, he was also quite able to endure humiliation and take care of the overall situation. I hope that this move will not really cause a barrier, and I have to make more preparations to prevent such a thing from happening.

"Your Highness." Changshi Yicheng walked in, glanced at Zhu Yongxing with quite complicated eyes, and bowed down and said: "Tuguan Long Jizhao and Long Jizuo have held a banquet to wash the dust for His Royal Highness, and they are now waiting to be summoned in the side hall." ”

This is the practical benefit of capturing Tang Yaozong! Zhu Yongxing collected his thoughts, got up with a smile, and followed Yi Cheng to the side hall.

Why should Zhu Yongxing be particularly generous to Yunnan Tusi, and he did not hesitate to risk having a bad relationship with Li Dingguo, but also to use his might to entic? In fact, this has a close relationship with the ethnic composition of Yunnan, and many ethnic minorities were originally very good soldiers to supplement, but most of them were controlled by Tusi. The personal dependence of the local people on Tusi hindered Zhu Yongxing's plan to expand the army.

Of course, the Tusi system began in the Tang Dynasty with the "fetters system", formed in the Song Dynasty, and flourished in the Ming Dynasty. If it is not done well, it is easy to cause rebellion among the toasts and undermine the overall situation of internal stability.

Therefore, Zhu Yongxing gave both grace and power, so that all Tusi could stand on the side of the Ming army and contribute to the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty; On the one hand, he also had to take some measures to get the Tusi to relax the physical restrictions on the Tusi so that he could recruit more ethnic minority soldiers.

It is not possible to force an order, but Zhu Yongxing can make conditions and exchange them. In line with the principle of voluntariness, if you support me, I will give you official positions and land; If you refuse, that's okay, there are always other toasts willing to do it. In short, on the face of it, this is a no-lose deal.

But in fact, it is not so simple, this is a long-term plan of Zhu Yongxing, to constantly turn the people under the rule of Tusi into free people, and fundamentally shake the Tusi system. The lives of these freedmen are getting better and better, and they will continue to attract more and more natives, thus providing gravediggers from within the burial toast system.
