45. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world
It's April and the sun is shining.
The wind and sand in Beiping Mansion for several days have blown people who can't open their eyes, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
The historical simulation check-in system has not been rewarded for a long time, and Cheng Yuan only thinks that this system is dead.
Cheng Yuan planned to gather all the literati in Beiping City, make a civil newspaper, compile the reasons for the Fengtian Jing disaster, and compile a ballad and hand it over to the hundreds of wandering brothers of the Axe Gang, so that they could publicize it and call on everyone to respond to the Yan King Fengtian Jing disaster.
As soon as this proposal was put forward, Yuan Rong, the uncle of the county lord of Yong'an, stood up and questioned: "The prince must not listen to Cheng Yuan's words, most of the people are illiterate, what is the role of the people's newspaper?" With these manpower, it is better to use it for war. ”
Zhu Di didn't speak for a while, and now that Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu have gone to recruit troops outside the Saiwai, even if the army attacks, it will take some time and planning.
Dao Yan wanted to rebel, but before his plan was spoken, this Cheng Yuan became the prince's henchman, and he was a little depressed in his heart.
From the very beginning, his appreciation for Cheng Yuan also became reluctant, if Cheng Yuan became a great military division of Fengtian Jingjing, what would he do.
Yuan Rong is Zhu Di's eldest son-in-law, and the last time Zhang Yu and Xie Gui attacked the mansion, Cheng Yuan rejected his proposal, and this beam was concluded.
For running a people's newspaper, this thing can be done from today, and in the future, you can grasp the guidance of public opinion in the Ming Dynasty, and promote the national policy for the people in the future, which is also an excellent carrier.
Nor did he ignore the fact that the people were illiterate. If the military and civilians in the north were called upon through the people's newspaper, many soldiers would be able to submit to them on their own.
In this way, it is effortless to harvest the hearts of most of the people in the north, and several people are fighting endlessly in Zhu Di's study.
Yuan Zhongche naturally stood on the side of Yuan Rong and Daoyan, and also said that Cheng Yuan could learn from those literati to engage in writing: "If anyone is not convinced, solve it directly by force!" Hit all the way to Yingtian, how can there be such an ink as you said. ”
Although Dao Yan did not fully agree with Yuan Zhongche and Yuan Rong's words, he did not say anything at this moment.
Seeing the three of them say this, Qiu Fu paused and said, "Maybe Mr. Cheng's method is not impossible. ”
Qiu Fu is a thousand households, but this time with Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu they attacked the Beiping City Gate, although he is a military general, he knows how to be humble and does not fight for merit. Although his strategy is not as good as Zhang Yu, Wu Yong is not far from Zhu Neng, but he is very clear in his work.
Zhu Di was slightly stunned for a moment, he didn't disagree, nor did he oppose Cheng Yuan's matter, but pondered, can a small people's newspaper really call on the people and call on the generals to follow?
The weapons under the theater are still being made, and it naturally takes a lot of silver to run a people's newspaper, and he is afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty.
Zhu Di is also a military general, and he is not very keen on words, so he thinks that he should be killed directly like Yuan Zhongche. But the most important problem is that he does not have enough soldiers and horses now, and rashly going to war will only backfire.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di scratched his head, his decision is not good.
But no matter what, they have to be given a result, and before he could answer, Yuan Rong and Yuan Zhongche began to oppose again.
What they mean is that running a people's newspaper will only waste time and energy, and the silver taels used can also be used to buy grain and grain.
Dao Yan spoke: "Mr. Cheng is really sure about the matter of the people's newspaper?" If the military plane is delayed, I am afraid that it will fall short. ”
This bald donkey, in addition to being full of talent, also has a bad stomach.
Cheng Yuan thought about it before and after, since he thought about the prosperity of Yongle, he started from harvesting the thoughts of the people, and the people's newspaper had to be done.
"Lord Wang, give Xiaomin a month, not only can you win the hearts of the people, but you can also help the prince prepare grain and grass, and the surrounding Ming soldiers will also come to join the prince!" Cheng Yuan said firmly.
Yuan Rong immediately came out to dissuade: "Lord Wang, although this Cheng Yuan has arrested Zhang Yu and Xie Gui for meritorious service, but this time you must not listen to him, how can you win the war if you engage in the literati style." ”
Yuan Zhongche immediately nodded: "This time you must not listen to the person in charge." ”
"I'm willing to let you do it, but the big guy doesn't agree, it's also difficult to do." Zhu Di replied thoughtfully.
Although he appreciates and believes in Cheng Yuan, there are some things that need to be considered, and he can't follow this kid.
Cheng Yuan was helpless, although Beiping Mansion had become the first stop of King Yan, most of the people were still waiting, and they did not completely follow Zhu Di to resist the emperor of Yingtian.
Since they were afraid of asking for silver and delaying manpower, Cheng Yuan was not out of the question, and then said to Zhu Di:
"I am willing to establish a life and death situation, and within a month, I can prepare all the fodder for the horses, and use the people's newspaper to call on the people of Beiping Mansion and the surrounding generals to come and follow the prince.
Never occupy the soldiers of Beiping City, silver taels and manpower, if I can't do it, the gentleman will be difficult to chase after him, and he should apologize. ”
Yuan Rong and Yuan Zhongche didn't care, and immediately agreed: "Of course you can, don't regret it." ”
Dao Yan shook his head: "Mr. Cheng doesn't need any sergeant, he just relies on the people's newspaper to call on the people and everyone to return to the prince, and he also collects grain and grass, I'm afraid he has the intention to talk too wildly." ”
Zhu Di loved Cheng Yuan in his heart, and glared at Cheng Yuan angrily: "The kid is talking nonsense, but you set up these things casually with military orders?" If you don't think deeply about doing things, and do things in a foolish way, how can this king let you mess around. ”
He felt that Cheng Yuan couldn't do it, so he died in vain when the time came. He also lost his personal talent, and Zhu Di naturally scolded him.
Zhu Di scolded Cheng Yuan, and immediately turned to Yuan Rong and Yuan Zhongche, and Dao Yan there: "You guys are also fooling around, how can this matter be child's play." Losing this kid and cutting himself off, what should the king do? ”
As soon as they heard this, Yuan Rong and Yuan Zhongche instead transferred their hatred to Cheng Yuan.
At that time, the people who went out to recruit troops and horses had only left for a day or two, and there was no movement on the side of the imperial court now, but Cheng Yuan estimated that Ying Tianfu should have known that Zhang Yu and Xie Gui were dead.
Jianwen's guy is too grinding, and Qi Tai is also needed to transfer troops, and it will take time for the decree to reach all places for a while.
Talking to Xu Zengshou yesterday, Cheng Yuan heard Xu Zengshou give him an analysis, and there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the imperial court, or even more.
But in fact, Qi Tai's soldiers and horses for these generals need to be from Beijing, Zhili, Daning Division, Shanxi Xingdu Division, Shandong, Henan, Liaodong, Xuanfu and other soldiers and horses.
It is impossible in a short period of time, and according to the military system of the Ming Dynasty, all the transfer of troops and generals and the planning strategy are all in charge of the military department, and the governor's office of the five armies is in charge of the preparation of the world's guards, drills and the affairs of Tuntian.
Ying Tian's transfer of troops from various places is not something that can be completed in a few days.
Therefore, Cheng Yuan planned to use the people's newspaper to spread the news of Fengtian's martyrdom to the ears of the people in this empty time.
Otherwise, after a long time, the people will be manipulated by Yingtian's civil officials, and they will be regarded as Ming thieves, which is a loss.
"The master also knows that those who win the hearts of the people win the truth of the world." Cheng Yuan continued: "We are a group of bandits and bandits, and we can ignore the opinions of the people.
But the prince is the son of the first emperor and the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the people's will is extremely important to him, so I will set up the military order, and I will still do it.
For a month, if what I say is not fulfilled, I should apologize to death in front of you. If I do it, the affairs of the people's newspaper will continue to be done in the future, and accompany the Ming Dynasty for generations to come! ”
Yuan Rong said: "In this case, don't block it, and look at it when it's due." ”
Yuan Zhongche also said: "Then wait and see." ”
Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said angrily: "Since you are so insistent, then let it be." If it's too late to regret it. ”
At this moment, Cheng Yuan answered: "Lord Wang, don't worry, after thirty days, I will see that there will be soldiers and civilians to follow the prince." ”
According to history, it is true that many soldiers came to defect in July of the first year of Jianwen, but it is only mid-April at this time, and I am afraid that it is a little uncertain.
Dao Yan is also a little confused, this war and persuasion are all about persuading the generals, coercion and temptation, and giving the beauties silver to persuade them.
This Cheng Yuan is a little strange, calling on the soldiers and people to follow the prince, and they can't know what this trick is.
Zhu Di hesitated slightly, and immediately nodded.
Yuan Rong and Yuan Zhongche are very sure that within 30 days, Cheng Yuan can call on everyone and collect grain and grass without a single soldier and silver from the palace.
In the final analysis, Yuan Rong also has some personal emotions of his own, and after this Cheng Yuan came, Zhu Di didn't like Yuan Rong as much as before.
Yuan Rong and Li Rang, the uncle of Yongping County, competed with each other, and this time they competed with Cheng Yuan.
Seeing several people arguing with each other, Cheng Yuan made a life and death situation again, and Zhu Di didn't say anything else and agreed with Cheng Yuan's approach.
But between the words, it is also hinted that when Cheng Yuan needs help, he will directly say it.
Cheng Yuan thanked Zhu Di for his intentions, but since he had already made a bet with Yuan Rong and them on this matter, he would make a bet.
He always believes that those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
