Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 511 Reform the military system and set an example

Next, Zhang Wuji discussed with everyone about the reorganization of his soldiers and horses.

Although Chen Youliang is dead now, all the generals are still there, and they have absolute influence and control in the army.What's more, when Chen Youliang and Xu Shouhui expanded their army, they also used Zhang Wuji's banner.

Zhang Wuji's previous performance on the battlefield has already engraved the brand of "God" in everyone's hearts.They are naturally very willing to follow Mingzun.

But at this time Zhang Wuji raised a question.

"Okay, that's the last question about military discipline. I encountered soldiers and horses under our command who forcibly robbed civilian women. This kind of thing is very serious and must be dealt with seriously." Zhang Wuji said coldly.

Zhang Dingbian stood up at this time, he said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will leave this matter to the minister."

Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "I'll repeat one more word here. That is, we are recruiting righteous soldiers to do justice for the heavens. We are not hooligans and bandits, let alone a cruel Yuan army. Therefore, we must strictly restrain our subordinates. Looting, killing, setting fire, raping women, this is strictly prohibited!"

"As for ordinary people, whether they are Han, Mongolian, or even other ethnic groups, as long as they are unarmed ordinary people, they will be treated equally. They should not harm the people, and there should be no distinction. Even if it is their stitches , all are not allowed to plunder. Our army must follow the style of the Yue family army in the past, 'don't demolish houses if you freeze to death, don't plunder if you die from starvation'. Only in this way can we go straight to Huanglong to restore the Central Plains like Lord Yue."

"However, for those bullies who are full of evil, rampant in the countryside, fish and meat people, and Mongolian executioners, we have to explain their crimes to the people in detail, and then punish them according to the law. Absolutely no mercy."

After Zhang Wuji finished speaking, all the generals nodded.

Zhao Pusheng stood up at this moment and said: "These ministers have all been written down."

Zhang Wuji nodded and said: "Very good. As for the rest, there is nothing else to do. The rectification of the 60 soldiers and horses will be the work of the four Aiqing. Now that we have finished talking about the generals, it is time to talk about the civil servants. "

At this time Fu Youde stood up and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, speaking of civil servants, our Prime Minister Zhang Bixian has already escaped. Shall we capture him back?"

Zhang Wuji looked at Zhang Dingbian who was on the side. After Zhang Dingbian thought about it, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please spare Brother Bixian."

Zhang Wuji waved his hand and said: "The words of the privy envoy are right, I am not a person without a heart. Since this Prime Minister Zhang is not willing to serve me, then I will not force it. I also ask General Zhang to give him a sum of money after he finds him .Just treat him according to the standard of returning home from an official post."

Zhang Dingbian thanked Zhang Wuji for his kindness on behalf of Zhang Bixian.

In fact, Zhang Bixian is also a rare talent, but Zhang Wuji said before that the positions of the officials will not change, but he already has two prime ministers under his command, and there is no need for another one.

So Zhang Wuji doesn't plan to include Zhang Bixian.After all, civil servants are no match for generals.

Although the generals have a lot of troops in their hands, civil servants are required to be responsible for the logistics support of the army and the transfer of military supplies.

As long as the army has no supplies, it won't take long for the trees to fall and the monkeys to disperse.

And Zhang Bixian and Zhang Dingbian, Chen Youliang are sworn brothers.Zhang Wuji dared to use Zhang Dingbian, but Zhang Bixian did not dare to give him the position of prime minister who was the head of all officials.

For such a key position, it is better to use your own people.Therefore, Zhang Wuji didn't plan to recruit Zhang Bixian, but transferred Yang Xiao directly, and then let him take charge of the overall situation.

Next, Zhang Wuji discussed in detail with everyone, and then the appointment and dismissal of civil servants.

Most of the civil servants under Chen Youliang's command are from the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Although this group of people is a huge hidden danger.

But the enemy is not yet ready to cleanse them, not to mention the current situation is not up to the level of the imperial examination.

So Zhang Wuji planned to continue to employ them, and after everything stabilized, he would replace them one by one with people under Mingjiao's command.

For this reorganization meeting, Zhang Wuji and the others held it until midnight.

In the end, everyone finalized the matter.

In the next few days, Zhang Wuji sat firmly in Hongdu City.The army under Chen Youliang also completed the adaptation with the help of Zhang Dingbian and others.

Under Zhang Wuji's instruction, Ding Pulang led a part of the army back to their respective camps.

There is also Chen Youliang's funeral, although Chen Youliang's funeral was buried with royal rites.But it was urgent and there was not much preparation.This thick burial also ended hastily.Just set up a monument for him, with the words "Da Ming Han Wang Chen Youliang" written on it.After that, officials were sent to guard his grave.

What gave Zhang Wuji some headaches were the wives and concubines left behind by Chen Youliang.

Although Chen Youliang is not a womanizer, the number of people in his harem is not too small.There are 30 people.

Although Zhang Wuji promised to treat Chen Youliang's family members kindly before, how to treat Chen Youliang's family members kindly now is a big problem.

If they were included in their pockets, these people would not be as high-quality as Zhao Min and others, both in appearance and character.

But it would be a pity if it was discarded.

In the end, Zhang Wuji thought about it and divided Chen Youliang's wives and concubines into two categories. Those who were beautiful and magnificent and had not been used by Chen Youliang were included in his harem.It's just that the status will not be given very high.At most, it's just Jieyu, Cairen and the like.But just like this, he also gathered more than 20 young girls who were not bad in appearance.

As for the ones that Chen Youliang used and had no children, Zhang Wuji allowed them to go home, or give them a marriage to remarry.

As for those who gave birth to Chen Youliang, Zhang Wuji allocated a mansion in Wuchang City as promised to Zhang Dingbian and others before, and used Chen Youliang's prince salary to support them for the rest of their lives.

As for the matter of ennobling Chen Youliang's heirs, Zhang Wuji prevaricated and said that he would wait until the world was settled.

Although this is suspected of raising tigers, there is no way to do it right now.

Firstly, I, Zhang Dingbian and others have promised to treat Chen Youliang's family well.You can't break your promise.

The second is to set an example for all the princes in the world, that is, as long as you surrender yourself, you will have a "golden ticket" for fame and status.

If you can subdue the enemy's soldiers without fighting and unify the power of the Han princes as soon as possible, it will be good for your future Northern Expedition.

Moreover, I can also leave a good name for myself. The most important thing is that I will not harm my family, and the princes will not fight me to the end.

Soon, officials from all walks of life in Chen Youliang's territory also sent official letters, and they were all willing to accept the new dynasty's reorganization and become ministers of Ming Dynasty in the future.

This made Zhang Wuji very happy.

After finishing all this, Zhang Wuji set his sights on Jinling City in the east.Now Zhang Wuji is waiting for Liu Futong and Yang Xiao to arrive.

As long as they lead their people to come and arrange everything properly, then it's time for them to go to Jinling City to beat Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although Zhang Wuji didn't want to tear his face apart this time, he still made two preparations to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang, an old fox.
