Chapter 683 Wuxun Group

Xiaoxiao Zhu left, and Lao Zhu asked, "I specially sent it to the prince. What's the matter to tell us?"

Zhu Yunyou became serious, "Xu Huizu is back, and we must offend the people who should offend him. We think that there are many people in these martial arts honors who need to be dealt with, so we can just pick up the grass and beat the rabbit and take on a few more."

Old Zhu glanced at Zhu Yunyou and then said, "If we did these things in the past, you would say we would kill the meritorious officials. Now that you have become the emperor, we have not done anything yet, you are just going to kill the meritorious officials."

Zhu Yunyou didn't comment, but said, "Grandpa the emperor didn't kill many heroes, that is, Hu Weiyong killed some people at that time. Now many martial arts are not improving, so we just want to beat them."

The actual situation is really like this. In history, the time when Old Zhu killed heroes was the most powerful in his later years. After Zhu Biao passed away, he cleaned up a group of martial experts such as Lan Yu. This naturally paved the way for Zhu Yunwen and almost captured all the luxurious and first-class founding general groups at that time.

If I had known about the Lan Yu case, my clan killed one Duke, Thirteen Marquis and Two Bosses, and more than 15,000 people were implicated. Then I found an excuse to kill Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, and Fu Youde of Ying. In this way, in the end of Hongwu, among the founding heroes of the early Ming Dynasty, the only people who survived as Dukes and Marquis of Changxing were Geng Bingwen and Wuding, Marquis of Wuding, Guo Ying.

The famous old Zhu in history for killing heroes was very bad, and a large part of the reason was the Hu Weiyong case and the Lan Yu case.

But such a thing has not happened in this life. The larger-scale incident of cleaning up Wu Xun is essentially the Hu Weiyong case, and some of the martial arts were implicated.

The so-called four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty in history are now only three major cases. Although Lao Zhu did kill some heroes, many of them were able to end well, which can be regarded as having a relatively decent ending.

Zhu Yunyou was not embarrassed and said, "Anyway, we must have killed people this time. If we beat some people and deal with some people, we will be fine."

Lao Zhu smiled and nodded, and then reminded him, "It's said that charity is not in charge of soldiers, so we have the same idea. Now some martial arts are making trouble, so if we deal with them, we will be happy. But don't kill too much. Don't say that you have a bad reputation in this way. The main reason is that you still have to use troops in the future and you should keep some people."

Lao Zhu continued to remind, "I have dealt with some disobedient people in the early years. Most of these martial arts masters are still relatively sensible. Either they did things for your father in the early years, or they could listen to you."

There is actually no problem saying that, because that's the case.

The arrogant soldiers and generals at the beginning of the founding of the country were basically cleaned up. The so-called Huaixi Honorary Group was dealt with very little care, so there was basically no big deal. Even if many of these martial arts are still in Huaixi Honorary Group, they are generally controllable.

What's more, Fu Youde or Lan Yu are not really the nobles of Huaixi. At least they are not like the Xu faction, and many of them are Lao Zhu's fellow villagers. There is still some balance between the various martial arts groups, so the emperor can be more down-to-earth.

Zhu Yunyou nodded and said with a smile, "Of course we understand these principles, otherwise we would not have promoted Qiu Fu and Zhang Yu in the early years. Although they also made contributions to the Northern Expedition, it was a bit far-fetched."

When Old Zhu naturally understood when he heard Zhu Yunyou say this, he thought that Zhu Yunyou did this correctly, and he must have done this way. This is the best way.

In the early years, a large number of martial arts awards were dealt with by the Hu Weiyong case. Many of them were indeed close to Hu Weiyong, or were a bit arrogant and domineering. However, more so, it was because of the problems with the origin of those people. These old brothers gathered together, which was definitely not a good thing for the emperor.

Balance is very important. We cannot hand over all the troops of the Ming Dynasty to the Fengyang people. We cannot let all the military forces be controlled by these old brothers or children's relatives, otherwise the emperor would definitely feel uneasy.

The Xu faction is already strong enough, and the power of the Chang faction cannot be ignored. As for Duke Cao Li Jinglong or Duke Song Feng Sheng, and Duke Ying Fu Youde, it seems that there are many mountains in the military of the Ming Dynasty, but we should also pay attention to it.

People like Zhang Yu actually have all the factions. Sometimes the emperor would hope that these military tycoons would have fresh blood replenishment, but he would never want to see all the military affairs, which were digested by these factions internally.

Zhu Yunyou said with a relaxed expression, "This trip is just good. Although we only took some places from Goryeo. It only gave Uncle Wang and the others the benefit, but it was also a contribution to destroying the country and could be regarded as expanding the territory. This hereditary marquis title is just a matter of being overwhelmed."

The Ming Dynasty's martial honors were being renewed, which is naturally not a secret. In addition to being the second or third generations, fresh blood like Qiu Fu and Zhang Yu emerged through the Northern Expedition.

After all, the previous updates looked more like some internal replacements, but the son or grandson replaced me, and Wuxun family counted over and over again, and there were only a few.

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunyou and tested with a smile, "If you really talk about it, what do you think Qiu Fu?"

Zhu Yunyou thought about it carefully and said, "This is a powerful general. It seems that Fu Youde was brave when he was young. It can be regarded as a skill in commanding troops. But we always think this person is a bit unreliable. Although it is not the courage of ordinary men, this person is a bit spoiled. We are afraid that he will be arrogant if he succeeds."

Lao Zhu smiled and nodded, reminding him, "He looks a bit like Chang Hundred Thousand and Fu Youde, but he just learned some superficial things. You can naturally use him with fearful battles, but you can only lead more than 50,000 troops, or a battle to destroy the country, you can't count on him."

I understand that this is a general, and this is definitely not a reliable handsome talent. It is of course a big use, but there is also some consideration when using it. You cannot underestimate his ability, but you cannot give him too high expectations.

Lao Zhu continued, "Zhang Yu should be good. His son is following the prince now, so he has some skills. I think the family's origins are not bad. If the father and son practice hard, they can not only help you, but also help the prince. If the Chang family can't count on those who can't count on it, Lan Yu will feel a pity."

The Chang family has no hope. Although they have an outstanding general like Chang Yuchun, they are also a tiger father and a dog son. Chang Yuchun's three sons are more than an embroidered pillow. In addition, because of Zhu Yunyou, the Chang family basically has no way to command troops in this life, at least two or three generations of people should not count on them.

What makes Lan Yu regret is that he can only carry the banner of Changshi's lineage now, and there is no successor. Although he has brought back a grandson, he will definitely not be able to go to the battlefield and can only inherit wealth and prosperity.

Lao Zhu continued, "We just saw the little boy of the Xu family. The descendants of the Xu Da family are not good, one is more than the other. Xu Huizu has learned 60% or 70% of his skills. Thanks for the little boy of the Xu family who can learn 30% of the time. I guess he is like your uncle."

This is naturally the case with Xu Da's legitimate grandson Xu Qin. Although the Xu family has a strict family style, Xu Qin's character is not a big problem. The main thing is that in terms of ability, not to mention that Lao Zhu looks down on him, even Zhu Yunyou looks down on him a little.

Don’t say that children are still young now, or those who are sensible when they grow up. There are indeed many examples of late-achieving. But sometimes, sometimes when you are three years old, you can now tell whether a boy is smart or not and whether he has talent?

Zhu Yunyou said happily, "That's a good thing. The King of Zhongshan helped the emperor to conquer the country. This is the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Huizu was also valued by us. There was also a queen in their family. Two generations could just help the court to command troops. We can't expect their third generation to succeed."

Lao Zhu actually thought so too. Who said that the little boy from the Xu family was a little unpromising? This would indeed make Xu Da feel sorry for him. But from the perspective of the emperor, this is a good thing. The Xu family is already prominent enough now, and there is no need to continue cooking oil for them with fire. That is not a good thing?

Looking at Old Zhu, Zhu Yunyou said, "To be honest, our court never has a general. There are still a few people here that can be used. I guess I can train one or two people in the next few years, and that's almost the same."

Although there are no strong generals in the Ming Dynasty court at the beginning of the founding of the country, Zhu Yunyou really doesn't need to worry about the lack of generals in the court.

Fu Youde, Lan Yu, or Xu Huizu, the Ming Dynasty really has no shortage of commanders now. Although Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying are old, they can still use their remaining heat occasionally and have some abilities. Of course, it is more because there is still some fresh blood, so naturally there is nothing to worry about.

Looking at his grandson, Lao Zhu asked, "You are planning to deal with some martial merits now, are you really willing to do it?"

Understanding what Lao Zhu means, Zhu Yunyou also smiled and said, "We are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, we are not the emperor of Huaixi, nor the emperor of the Chang family!"

Lao Zhu was naturally very satisfied with this answer. He actually felt so at the beginning. Of course, the old brothers who came out of his hometown with him had some friendship, but who told him to sit on the dragon throne, could not just think about the people in Fengyang, my hometown, but what I should think about was the country and country.

The emperor naturally represents the interests of a certain class or group. As the greatest power of the ruler class, the emperor should enjoy the country and the country, and should not just blindly favor certain classes.

Lao Zhu asked again, "Are you the old minister who follows you? Are you really willing to kill them all?"

Zhu Yunyou smiled calmly and said, "We just won't dig Zhang He's tombstone or dig up his grave. As for his unfilial descendants, they are just blamed. Of course, when you think about your glory and wealth, don't say you're wronged."

Zhu Yunyou is usually unwilling to do such things, but if he really wants to do it, he will not be ruthless. If he implicates the Nine Clans, such things may be a bit unfair, but there may be so many unfair people in the Manchu clans, but more of them will not be innocent people.

Since you are enjoying the convenience brought by your identity, you must naturally be prepared because your identity is implicated.

Lao Zhu asked again, "Xu Huizu is back now. I think it won't take long before Fu Youde will come back. Think about it, what are you planning to deal with him?

Zhu Yunyou said for granted, "It's enough to have a Xu family and a Chang family at our gate. Fu Youde has made a lot of contributions over the years. He is not young anymore, so he can rest assured and raise him."

It is naturally no problem to say this. Although Fu Youde in the early days was not very prominent among the great honors of the Ming Dynasty, he was still late in his career, pacifying the southwest, in charge of the Northern Expedition, and the just-concluded Battle of Goryeo. It can be said that he made great contributions.

But these seem to be enough, so there is no need to let him continue to make achievements, otherwise it would be possible that another huge Wuxun Group would be cultivated.

Zhu Yun said humbly, "I just learned from the early emperor's grandfather to deal with Duke Xin and Duke Song."

Old Zhu raised his hand and wanted to give Zhu Yunyou a broken mind. He thought of him as Zhu Hongwu's heroic life, and he would not talk about the early things. He just said that he became the emperor, and even when he was proclaimed as King of Wu, no one dared to tease him.

But now, I am fine. After becoming a grandfather, I will be teased by this grandson from time to time. How can I make sense?

However, Lao Zhu also recognized Zhu Yunyou's idea. Tang and this old brother made great contributions, and Feng Sheng made great contributions. If they did not retreat or were idle, it would be difficult for Fu Youde to stand out, or the Wuxun Group of the Ming Dynasty would have another huge mountain.

Zhu Yunyou continued, "That's true for Fu Youde. His sons are not considered powerful. When he dies, we will be the king. A hereditary duke is worthy of his contributions to his years."

This seems to be the best way. It is impossible for Fu Youde to make a contribution this time. His contribution is already great enough and there is enough, so he still needs to leave some room, otherwise it would not be a good story for the ruler and his subjects.

After discussing carefully with Lao Zhu, Zhu Yunyou felt much more at ease about the re-arrangement of Wuxun Group.

Xu Huizu is back, so many things naturally need to be put on the agenda. It is of course important to purify the administration of officials. However, Wuxun Group also needs to be cleaned up.
