Chapter 137: A Meeting to Unify Thoughts (Part 1)

Everyone laughed happily, but Zhu Zhen's eyes looked at the conference hall with a little confused look.

How difficult was it to go up to Junshan first? The army outside was approaching and could face revenge from the horse bandits at any time. Inside, there were so many people who needed to be resettled. They didn’t even have a residence for themselves.

As the highest commander, I could not really live in a cave. In the end, I couldn’t choose these Sanqing Temples as a temporary residence. If I remember correctly, this conference hall would be the main hall of Sanqing Temples.

Zhu Zhen remembered clearly that when everyone was just going up the mountain to camp, not only were the weeds in the temple, but there were still a few white bones lying. The clothes were bitten by maggots, and the stench made people's scalp numb.

Yao Tianxi observed briefly and knew that most of these people were starved to death. He quickly changed into the cassock used to cheat and saved the dead. He didn't even know that he was a fake monk who read the scriptures, just for psychological comfort.

Although others are sad, they have long been used to this kind of scene. In this chaotic world, those who die early may not be more painful than those who die late.

Qingguan is also fully equipped. There is a huge iron incense burner in front of the main hall. The incense burner is rusty on it. It seems that it is a bit old, but the incense ash in the incense burner has long disappeared. On the sewage, there are floating bark and cut leather, as well as some rice ears. It seems that passersby have once cooked porridge and cooking here.

The Three Pure God statues in the temple had long since fallen out of paint and became clay sculptures with incomplete body and facial features. A hole was leaked in the eaves of the house, and beams of light fell from the sky and sprinkled on the statues, making the statues look particularly miserable. If the devout believers would definitely kneel down and pray, hoping that the Three Pure God would not blame them.

As soon as everyone went up the mountain, they naturally wanted to find Zhu Zhen a residence. Although these Sanqing Temples were dilapidated, they were located in the center of the plain on the top of the mountain, and had courtyard walls and houses. They barely lost Zhu Zhen's identity, so they naturally became the first choice.

Everyone did not have the intention to reshape the statue of the gods, so they made the Sanqing God clear about the temple, repainted the temple, and temporarily made Zhu Zhen's residence.

Fan Xiyao thought about this for a long time, scolding Zhu Zhen for being disrespectful to the gods, for fear of causing retribution.

However, when Zhu Zhen saw that he brought the elderly and children who were unattended, his wife cooked rice porridge almost every day to take care of them, she said that if these people could live a good life, it would be fine if the three great gods were wronged.

Even though he practiced swords and martial arts all day in Zhongnan Mountain, he learned to cook porridge and donated porridge and rice every day, and he didn't feel the hard work. He also taught the orphans martial arts in his spare time to help them strengthen their bodies.

Zhen saw too many suffering people in these Sanqing Temple, too many lonely and helpless elderly people, too many children with confused eyes and not knowing what their parents are, so even if one day the conditions are better, he insisted on living here. The purpose is very simple, that is, he cannot forget his original heart.

Everyone's laughter gradually faded away, and they all looked at Zhu Zhen, who was confused.

Zhu Zhen, who had been traveling for a long time, had flashed the scene of countless people struggling to survive in his eyes, finally came back to his senses and looked at the expected gazes of everyone with some shame.

My family has long been accustomed to Zhu Zhen’s distracted habit, and everyone has even fallen in love with Zhu Zhen’s distracted habit, because every time Zhu Zhen is distracted, it seems that he can bring unexpected things to everyone.

Zhu Zhen knows what everyone is looking forward to. The current victory is just a temporary problem. Since everyone chooses to follow themselves, they definitely hope to make a career.

A man and a man should naturally hold a three-foot sword and achieve great success.

Although everyone says that their ideals are different, since everyone is willing to follow Zhu Zhen, either from Yingtian or from Gusu, and travel thousands of miles, he must have a chance.

No one is willing to do things that take time and waste life.

A few days ago, everyone was working hard, and many people didn't know what to do. Many warriors even felt that their heroes were useless and their bodies were rusted.

With the need for unity of thought, everyone needs a leader to summarize what to do in the future.

A man cannot leave without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head.

How did Team He have no program of his own and would just bump around like headless flies.

And I don't know why it hits.

If I accidentally die in battle, I don’t even have a sense of belonging in my heart.

If Zhu Zhen wanted to win the world, it would be a difficult problem for him, but when it comes to governing one side and achieving a career, Zhu Zhen was no longer a fool who fell off the plane and looked at this turbulent country.

He was familiar with Mao's selection, and was trained by Mr. Ye Dui day and night. He had experienced all kinds of hardships in Gusu. He had seen him who was half a chaotic official in Gusu, who had personally run a huge medicinal business, and led troops to fight. After experiencing many things and presided over many things, he still had a say.

"I know that everyone's thoughts are very confused recently. I don't know what they are doing? I don't know why. Today, taking advantage of the opportunity of great victory, I will have a good chat with you so that everyone can have a chance." Zhu

Zhen instructed Wan Niang to pour a cup of tea for everyone. Although Zhu Zhen is now a man in Xuyi County and has obtained a large amount of supplies prepared by Han Zheng and the local gentry family in Xuyi to fight against the Northern Yuan Dynasty, his life still does not pursue luxury.

The upward and downward effect were effective, and from Mr. Ye Dui to a hundred households in the army, life did not change much.

Zhu Zhen walked down from the chair and lay lazily on the wall like a lazy young man. "Do you know why I am distracted? Do you know why I insist on living in these Sanqing Temple?"

People expressed their confusion about Zhu Zhen's inexplicable question, and their eyes were particularly confused.

"Because I want to remind myself all the time that I came to save the lowest people in Sizhou. I hope everyone's purpose is the same as mine." Zhu

Zhen's words set the tone for the topic of this meeting, and everyone was shocked. Zhu Zhen had talked with Mr. Ye Du many times in private before, but he rarely mentioned this matter to everyone on the surface.

Everyone just felt that Zhu Zhen’s behavior was different from that of a very noble family. He was approachable and did not make any flamboyant things, and he was even willing to spend money on the poor people.

Many people secretly thought that Zhu Zhen was to win people's hearts and the purpose was to gain wealth. Didn't Liu Bang do this before? He gave all the beauties in the mansion to his subordinates, and finally took over the country himself. Others may not understand such things, but everyone present could not see through them.

But they didn't expect that Zhu Zhen had traveled through time, and his pursuit was different from that of ordinary people.

Now Zhu Zhen is straightforward and expresses his feelings directly, but many people are even more confused.

Han Zheng took the lead in asking, "Since ancient times, scholars have been teaching the world for saints, and the rulers just want to manage the world and manage scholars well. If you want to do something in Sizhou, why not directly attract scholars?" Han

As Zheng said, the typical thinking of scholars. This practice was exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang was doing, and it was quite effective.

The reason why Yuanzhang was able to flourish in the Heavenly Stem was that he had won over Liu Ji, Song Lian and other capable and influential scholars. These scholars were depressed in the Northern Yuan court, and Zhu Yuanzhang's respect gave them a sense of value to realize their life. They and their followers worked hard for Zhu Yuanzhang's regime, which naturally made Zhu Yuanzhang's regime full of vitality.

In everyone's opinion, the easiest way for Zhu Zhen to do something in Sizhou is to win over scholars like Han Zheng. As long as they are willing to follow Zhu Zhen, it will be difficult for Zhu Zhen to not rise in Sizhou.

Seeing that everyone seemed to agree with Han Zheng's idea regardless of their identity and status, Zhu Zhen did not respond directly to Han Zheng, but shook his head and smiled and said, "The Duke treats me as much kind as a mountain. Then, I stationed in Sizhou, so I should be the great cause of the Duke. What is the great cause of the lord? Mr. Song Lian once said that we follow the Lord, and hope that the Lord can know the hardships of the people's livelihood and understand the destruction of the world. Eliminate the cruelty of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and restore the clothes of the Han people. Therefore, our purpose in Sizhou should be like the lord, expel the humiliation of the Tartars, restore the clothes of the Chinese, and let the people live a good life."

People are silent. Let

It is simple to say that the people live a good life, but it is really difficult to do. Although the Yuan Dynasty was turbulent, it had a peaceful life for decades, but what kind of life did the people live in peacetime?

The family is clear in their hearts that the people are also ragged and hungry.

It seems to everyone that Zhen wants to rescue the lowest-level people is really too difficult. And is it really helpful to save the people?

Zhen seemed to understand everyone's doubts. After getting up, he walked slowly in the conference room and pondered, saying, "I don't know if you have ever thought about it. Since Lu Xiufu's young emperor jumped into the sea and died, my Chinese children and the Northern Yuan Dynasty have countless struggles. Why have they all failed?"

Chang Mao didn't understand the great truth, but when it comes to struggle, Chang Mao had rich experience and stood up and said angrily: "It's not that the Yuan people are strong in combat and countless helps who sell their country and seek honor, which has led to our repeated failures in resistance!" Zhu

Zhen laughed and said, "Then why did the Duke of the Kingdom was in the four battles, threatened by Daluhuachi of the Yuan Dynasty (the guardian) in the north and south, and threatened by Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang on both sides, but the lord became stronger and stronger as the battle fought?" Han

Zheng thought that with our scholars helping each other, they will naturally win every battle, but unexpectedly, Chang Mao interrupted himself, his voice was rough and loud, "Of course we can fight."

Ye Dui shook his head and said sarcastically: "Can you fight? Since ancient times, people who are good at fighting and fighting in the mountains and rivers can compete with Xiang Yu? He will be defeated."

Liu Qingshan looked at Chang Mao being crippled, sat on the chair and laughed. Chang Mao slapped him on the head and said with a pout, "What are you laughing at? You said it's the same as if you understand."

Hu Er sat upright and was unwilling to play with these two people. In fact, he could see how Zhu Zhen said a few words, which made him confused and could travel to the residence of Zhou Gong at any time.

If Mr. Zhou raised his daughter, he would probably have been killed by him.

As for Zhang Dashe, he listened with relish. When he saw Zhu Zhen’s speech, Mr. Ye Dui refuted Chang Mao, which caused him to think deeply. He had never thought about this problem before.

Come on, I have not been able to study hard enough to be practical, and I have ignored the fundamental problems that arise in the current country.

Zheng bowed his head and pondered. He received the orthodox Confucian education. The reason why he resisted the Yuan court was because of the distinction between China and the barbarians. At the same time, he also hoped that as a scholar, he could have the opportunity to display his talents.

As for the deeper things, they were not something he could understand. However, Han Zheng was not pedantic and kind-hearted. Zhu Zhen said that he came to save the people, but he was not unacceptable.

Zhen explained: "Since the Northern Yuan Dynasty won the world, the most fundamental reason why China's resistance has been defeated repeatedly is that it cannot unite the entire Chinese power, or the poor rebel blindly, or the rich resist blindly for the sake of interests. Everyone fights on their own, and they are naturally defeated by the Northern Yuan."

Our Sizhou is small, so it is naturally impossible to form a million troops like the Duke of the People, and fight south and north, but we also have to make a career in Sizhou. If we want to do something, we face many enemies. The remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are our enemies, the major families that oppress the people in Sizhou are our enemies, the Japanese pirates who often come to Sizhou to rob are our enemies, the bandits who occupy the mountains and become kings are our enemies, and our enemies are countless."

Everyone could hear clearly and clearly.

Zhen continued, "Who is our friend again? Let's first look at the social composition of Sizhou. The gentry and gentry, everyone should understand that these are two important elements of the class, the gentry and gentry. These people are in a rebellious way towards the Northern Yuan, because under the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they live a very free life and can bully the people unscrupulously. Don't think that they suppress the people's chaos is the object of our cooperation. In fact, on the contrary, the reason why the people become refugees and the people have chaos is because they are clever and exploit the people, and the people have no way out, which forces the people to rebel. Therefore, if it is hateful, these gangsters of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are the most hateful. So they are the unyielding enemies."

The second is the medium-sized gentry. What do these people say? The reason why they live a wealthy life is mostly because of the family business that their ancestors have worked hard to accumulate for generations, and they must have done things to oppress the people. However, they must be in pain in the face of the oppression and exploitation of the Northern Yuan court. It is also very urgent to resist the Northern Yuan court and resist the plunder of the rich.

Business travelers, small landlords, scholars with a little wealth in their family. This kind of life is actually quite difficult. They have ambitions to do something, but in this war, they are like living on the verge of ice. Any turmoil may cause their wives and children to be separated. Therefore, they are afraid of refugees, ordinary people, and war. At the same time, they hate the Northern Yuan court, Zhang Shicheng, bandits, and the rich people in Sizhou, because these major forces are all oppressing them. Therefore, they are people living with their tails, but they extremely hope that the country will be unified and the world will be peaceful.

Let me talk about the people and refugees. Most of them have nothing or have a little land. In this year of famine and war turbulent years, they have nothing, and eating has become a problem. This year is a disaster year. Everyone has also seen that the people of Hanjiazhuang have eaten the bark completely. If no one helps them, they will starve to death.

At first, we hoped that when these people followed us, no one would rely on them. Everyone might think they were numb. In fact, everyone was wrong, that was because they couldn't believe us. Everyone saw how brave they were in the battle with the horse bandits after they were forced to a dead end.

So I have to say that these people are actually our most loyal friends, as long as we feed their stomachs, give them a warm house, and make their families happy, they can fight us to the end.
