167 I don't know where the dragon is going after the rain (5)

The Donggong guard battalion was crossing the river, and opposite was the Jin soldiers led by Cai Maode, the governor of Shanxi.

Zhu Cihong sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, accepted Cai Maode's court, and said something in full accordance with the etiquette and etiquette, affirming Cai Maode's loyalty to the country and his hard work. He didn't know the position of this Governor Cai in history, but it didn't prevent him from observing Cai Maode's personality.

Much like Feng Shikong.

This is the conclusion Zhu Cihong has reached.

Cai Maode's strength over Feng Shikong is that he dares to lead troops out and does not blindly defend Taiyuan.

This is one of the few ferries at the junction of Qin and Jin, and Cai Maode led troops to prevent Li Thief from crossing the river, so he encountered the Donggong brigade. At first, Governor Cai could hardly believe that it was really the crown prince himself. As a crown prince, when traveling with troops, it is customary to notify the local guard three or five days in advance and prepare to welcome him, and there has never been a situation where people have already arrived at the provincial border and the governor of a province has not yet received the news.

Zhu Cihong would rather that others didn't know where he went, but just passed through the state, and the momentum was huge, and it was impossible to hide his whereabouts.

Because Cai Maode is similar to Feng Shikong, Zhu Cihong naturally won't be bored, just let the governor go out with tears in his eyes after going through the motions. Perhaps this matter will be greatly exaggerated in the Cai family history, but for Zhu Cihong, this work is over.

He also had to worry about the news from Xi'an.

Feng Shikong, Huang Jiong, Wu Congyi, Cui Erda, Zhang Shangxuan and others were martyred, and the imperial court naturally had a gift, and there was no need for the prince to bother. Lu Zhiqi, the political envoy, Song Qijiao, the servant of the Liju Officials, and Gong Yan, the secretary of the school, surrendered to thieves and were entrusted with important tasks by Li Zicheng. However, this has its own posterity, and there is no need for Zhu Cihong to bother.

What really bothered Zhu Cihong was that Zhu Cunji, the king of Qin, surrendered to Li Zicheng.

Isn't Li Zicheng a vassal killer in history? King Fu also wanted to surrender back then, but was still killed by Li Zicheng. However, this time, after Li Zicheng broke Xi'an, he did not kill the vassal king of Huangming. Instead, he was given the title of a general and let him follow in the army. weishenme Li Chuang suddenly changed his sex? Could it be that he wanted to leave a King of Qin to exchange Liu Zongmin with the imperial court? Impossible! The imperial court refused to compromise even when the emperor was captured, let alone a Qin king! What's more, this King Qin is still out of order!

Zhu Cunji, who was deeply stimulated, did not expect to really pick up a life, not only happily became the general of Li Thief, but also published an article admitting that the Zhu family had plagued the world for a long time. Marshal Li advocated righteousness in heaven and relieved the people from hanging upside down...... I don't know which strategist this article came from the camp to write, and it also specifically mentions that the crown prince was tyrannical and wanted to slaughter the people of Shanxi, so that the king could not support him, and it seems that he has a deep grudge against Zhu Cihong.

It is believed that this text will soon spread to Beijing and to Emperor Chongzhen.

When King Fu died, Emperor Chongzhen cried after receiving the news, saying, "I can't save my uncle." "I just didn't know how to read this brother's inscription. How would Emperor Bixia feel?

"If he wants to surrender, he will surrender, what kind of basin will be put on my head!" Zhu Cihong wanted to swallow a fly and was disgusted. He had thought about violently plundering the population of Qin and Jin, but as long as he was lighter than Dongyu, it was still possible to live one of the two. Think about the future after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, desperately chasing Li Zicheng to fight, the Shanxi generation was repeatedly soldiered, and ten rooms and nine emptiness. Long pain is better than short pain, isn't it good to follow the crown prince to Shandong to live and learn a lesson?

Of course. No one believes this. Maybe they will flash before they die: if they knew today, it was better to follow the prince...... But it was already too late.

Wu Fu has become accustomed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appearing in an extraordinarily old manner. It was a little shocking to suddenly find that the prince would be angry because of such a thing. He persuaded: "Your Highness, when Wei Wu was also scolded in a cold sweat, the two armies faced each other, what words were not said by people?" Don't take it to heart. ”

"He's different!" Zhu Cihong was a little irritable.

Fortresses are easiest to breach from within. If the people of the world knew that even the old Zhu family themselves were against Zhu Ming, who would work hard for the royal family? Other vassal kings and county kings saw the example of King Qin. Will it be like those big families who take out their family property to reward the "righteous teacher"? King Qin's inscription didn't care what he wrote, but the passivity that this act brought to Zhu in public relations.

"Mr. Wu, is there a good way to resolve it?" Zhu Cihong asked.

Wu Fu thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, there is no other good way. And I'm afraid it will be worse. ”

"Oh?"

"Those more than 1,000 students." Wu Fu said.

On that day, the students who watched the crown prince worship the ancestor Confucian Zhang Zi gathered at the Confucian Temple. I saw the majesty of the heavenly family with my own eyes, and listened to the national book read the sacrificial text, and I was inexplicably excited. After the worship, the crown prince said that he would hold a dinner party in the guard camp outside the city and invite all living beings to it. For a while, they were dressed and scarves, and they all went to the guard camp.

Who knew that there was a dinner party, but only the broth soaked buns. After eating, they didn't let anyone go, and they were all escorted and set off with the army. Someone wants to make a fuss with a whip, and no one comes out to explain a word in the end. Wu Fu was terrified at that time, for fear that a few strong ones would come out, and he would rather die than leave. Once someone is killed, the nature is really a hijacking, and the prince's reputation is completely ruined.

Of course, like the mournful Luoyang, there will be no fewer people who carry the black pot for the crown prince, but it is a question of how many scholars can believe it.

"I'm not afraid." Zhu Cihong said: "Those people rushed to the guard camp to eat my dinner, there are nothing more than two kinds. ”

Wu Fu's ears pricked up, and he felt more and more that it was interesting to listen to the prince's analysis of people's hearts. At this time, the prince, who is not young next year, has become an experienced old official, although he is straightforward, he can hit the heart of the people.

"One is so poor that they can't open the pot, the so-called poor people." Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "These people are satisfied if they can have a decent life and eat well." In the past few days, I raised them first, and when I picked them out in Shanxi, my wife and children at home could leave everything behind. ”

Although Wu Fu felt that the prince was talking too disregarding Sven, it was true. Many Jinshi have never returned to their hometowns after going to Beijing to take the exam, and their parents, wives and children at home also take it for granted that he is an official in other places, and they have no humanity at all. But of course, this can't be said that people are greedy for official positions, it can only be said that loyalty and filial piety can't be both, loyalty first to the king, and then relatives.

"The other is those who are utilitarian and want to take shortcuts." Zhu Cihong said: "Otherwise, what are they doing here?" I don't sell art and literature here, and I don't have a scientific examination question. It's not about messing around to see if there's a chance to get ahead. Is this kind of opportunist willing to joke with his own life? ”

Wu Fu also felt a little reasonable when he heard it. The Ming Dynasty opens a branch in the year of the child, the meridian, the mao, and the unitary year, which is called the main branch. If there is a major celebration, you can temporarily add the test, which is for Enke. If you are those students who are determined and have the heart to take the imperial examination, they must study their homework at home and prepare for the next exam, who will still come out to hang out?

Is it possible to come out for a walk? Joke! Ten years of hard study is not a lie? Except for a few who are unforgettable, such as the demons of Tongsu Hui, which Jinshi from the seven articles is not blind to things outside the window and reads the books of sages with all his heart?

"What if someone accidentally gets mixed in?" Wu Fu is more truthful.

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Then I'm not worried, because people have a herd heart." As long as the four conditions are met, the enemy can be domesticated into his own. ”

"Oh? The enemy becomes his own? Wu Fu was surprised: "Isn't this the work of the saint's probation?" ”

"It's not that mysterious." Zhu Cihong said: "The human heart has its own 'reason', which is the principle of science, so I call it the science of psychology." ”

The principles of science can be simply understood as laws, and there is also the meaning of the original will. Zhu Cihong didn't work hard in the scriptures, so he didn't dare to say too much so as not to show his timidity, so he jumped directly to the back and said: "Ask: If A is captured by a certain B, and a certain B may kill a certain A at any time, is there a feud between the two of them?" ”

"Naturally, this is already a murderous revenge." Wu Fu said seriously.

"It's such a feud, as long as these four conditions are met, a certain A can be willing to do things for a certain B."

"Dare to ask for details." Wu Fu said.

"First, Person A must be convinced that Person B can kill him at any time." Zhu Cihong said.

Wu Fu nodded.

"Second, when A is about to die, B wants to pull him back, such as a mouthful of water and a piece of bread."

"This is natural, otherwise wouldn't a certain A really die?" Wu Fu nodded again.

Zhu Cihong did not break this point, which is actually a key problem, and people who want to come to Wu Fu's level will find it themselves when they apply it in the future.

"Third, B can only give A some news about B's family, and no other information can be let A know."

"Cover your eyes and ears to cut off their hearts." Wu Fu nodded again.

"Fourth, it makes a certain A feel that there is no way to escape." Zhu Cihong chuckled and said, "As long as these four conditions are met, everyone can become obedient and good citizens, and it will only take ten days at most." ”

- Under extreme conditions, three to five days is enough.

Zhu Cihong secretly added in his heart.

After hearing this, Wu Fu felt a little incredible, and wondered: "Can it really be done?" ”

"Seriously."

"Where did Your Highness find out?" Wu Fu naturally couldn't believe it just because of Zhu Cihong's empty mouth and white teeth.

"This," Zhu Cihong sighed, "I see that the Eastern Captives plundered the Han people as slaves, and after careful analysis, there are only these four articles." ”

Wu Fu was speechless.

Although the Dongyu is not the main enemy at present, the plundering of the population by the Dongyu is also a headache for the Ming Dynasty. Because the real slaves are sparsely populated and not good at farming, they are actually a people who hunt in the mountains and forests. Such a nation became a tribe at most, and if they wanted to settle down and build a country, they needed a large number of agricultural and handicraft people, and the Ming Dynasty became their population provider.

Now there are also Han military flags among the Dongyu army that has invaded the Guannai, and as for the cannon fodder troops, Baoyi Ahha, eight or nine out of ten are Han people who have been plundered. The great Ming scholars, who have read poetry and books, have always been unable to understand why the people who were originally suffering followed Jiannu when they arrived in Liaodong?

This is the most direct proof of the practicability of "taming people", and it is also the backhand of Zhu Cihong's courage to risk the world's condemnation to plunder the population. (To be continued......)
