Chapter 474: The Southern Army Mutiny
Negotiating peace is not a trivial matter, although Liu Chun and Fang Xiaoru have agreed on the conditions, but in many details, they still have to be scrutinized. Don't underestimate these seemingly trivial things, the real intrigue is hidden in this.
To take the simplest name as an example, Fang Xiaoru hopes to use the imperial court and the Yan domain to highlight the difference in status. Of course Liu Chun would not agree, he insisted on using the northern and southern courts, in this way, he raised Zhu Di to the same height as Zhu Yunwen, the old party naturally refused to agree, and Liu Chun proposed that it was not possible to use the uncle and nephew to commensurate it, which is more red fruit to take advantage of.
The old man was so angry that his face turned blue, and he immediately refused, and also scolded that he couldn't distinguish between the family and the country.
In the end, the two sides finally agreed that they would not need to be called, and directly write the proposal and content. It's finally all right, right?
No!
In terms of payment, Zhu Yunwen insisted on using the Jianwen era name, and Liu Chun thought that Hongwu should be used...... Although Zhu Yuanzhang died, Xinjun was not recognized by the Jing Nanjun, and he could not use Jianwen, and he should continue Hongwu. Otherwise, wouldn't it have allowed Zhu Yunwen to take advantage.
A contract, just at the beginning and the end, is a lot of trouble, and there is no one.
Xu Zengshou doesn't know what to say, just such a little thing, it's worth blowing his beard and staring, wasting so much effort, it's just idle!
He finally said right, the people on both sides were indeed too idle, and the final result of the discussion was that the year name was not written, only the month and day were written, and then the seal was used......
A document of negotiation and peace, without a title salutation, and without a time for payment.
It looks a bit ridiculous, even like a fake, but both sides can only do so in order to pursue reciprocity.
Perhaps because of this, from the very beginning, this document was meant to be torn apart. Whether it is Liu Chun or Zhu Yunwen, they have no intention of complying.
Liu Chun is hoping to breathe a sigh of relief and integrate all parties, and now there are almost ten vassal kings under Zhu Di, and the soldiers and horses are divided into many mountains, from south to north, and there is a huge difference between them, there are Mongolian soldiers in Liaodong, and there are Tusi heroes in Yunnan...... Without integration, how can combat effectiveness be brought into play?
Moreover, if this continues, the entire Jingnan Army will be in danger of being caught in the cracks, and if it is not done well, it will collapse.
As for Zhu Yunwen's side, he wants to use time to recover his vitality and fight again with the whole army.
The two sides have their own calculations, and the general direction of the peace negotiations has been determined, but the details have not been finalized for a long time, and it is difficult for the two armies to retreat.
This gave Zhu Di a godsend.
After he gave Sheng Yong wine and fat sheep, Sheng Yong immediately replied, and in order to exchange courtesy, Zhu Di actually found a drum band. I invited a lot of folk artists.
There are those who perform waist drums, some who sing old dialects, and even orchids from the Western Regions.
Blowing, blowing, lively, and coming to the camp of the Southern Army.
Sheng Yong's eyes fell, "What is the purpose of King Yan?" ”
This time it was Zhu Neng who came, and he had gradually touched the mind of the prince.
"General Sheng, it is not easy for the brothers to leave their homeland and be born and die. It's easy to stop the war, the big guys relax, listen to the drums, and enjoy the old-fashioned dance, what's wrong with that. ”
"Not good! Very bad! Sheng Yong's eyes were red, and he reprimanded angrily: "I think you have bad intentions, you want to break the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and have bad intentions!" ”
You're really right, but Sheng Yong forgot that in his army, there is still a joke!
"General Sheng, the soldiers are indeed tired, and there are many grievances in the barracks, so it's good to let them relax." Li Jinglong smiled and said, "I said General Zhu, the courtesies are still exchanged, can we also send someone over?" ”
Zhu Neng said happily: "I didn't say it." He wiped his chin and said very seriously: "There are many southern soldiers in our army, and they all want to listen to the flower drum opera and listen to the Kun dialect commentary...... If I could send some people, I would be grateful. ”
Li Jinglong happily agreed, and Zhu Neng left.
Sheng Yong was furious, he felt that he couldn't suppress Li Jinglong, so he invited Tie Xuan over, who had been in Luoyang before, in charge of grain and grass.
He had just received the holy decree to keep an eye on Li Jinglong secretly, and if necessary, take down this guy directly.
Tie Xuan relied on it, and he didn't take Li Jinglong in his eyes at all. And although Li Jinglong is a little stupid in fighting, these things are clear, and he laughed and said: "Lord Tie, Yan Rebellion wants to divide our military morale, although we must prevent it, but we can also concoct it in the same way." The dignified officials and soldiers of the imperial court, in the face of thieves, don't they have a little confidence? If you can say that you can move Yan Shun's generals, or divide the vassal kings, and make them turn their backs and surrender, even after the peace is negotiated, Yan Shun has no choice. Our hundreds of thousands of troops, without an inch of success, just go back, will the officials in the court let us go? ”
"I'm not afraid of Li Jinglong, at most I've thought about it behind closed doors, I'm still a prince of the country, but the two of you are different. Anyway, you have to plan for yourself, this general is leading the troops outside, and it is inevitable that people will be jealous, and after returning to the court, all kinds of criticism are even more powerful than anything else...... Speaking of which, I thought of my father...... He died so miserably! ”
mentioned Li Wenzhong, the king of Qiyang, and Li Jinglong also wiped his tears.
Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong looked at each other, not to mention, they also have this worry, and if they don't make some contributions, they really can't make a difference.
"Cao Guogong, do you think you can break Zhu Di's military heart?"
"Yes! There are a lot of us, and we send more people to tell about the past of storytelling and singing, and then let our people disguise themselves as businessmen, exchange things with Zhu Di's subordinates, bribe them with money, and disintegrate their words...... I don't believe that Zhu Di can bear it! ”
Tie Hyun took a deep breath, and his face showed joy.
Li Jinglong's method is really good, after all, Zhu Di has to make any changes, and many gentry say that the northwest has become a hellish place where evil ghosts are rampant. Sending someone over may really be able to convince some people to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!
"Alright, that's it!"
……
The two sides sent envoys to each other, from the initial artist, to the later businessman, and finally Zhu Di simply advocated inviting soldiers from both sides to compete in bows and arrows and horse races together...... Sheng Yong happily agreed, Zhu Di wants to show bravery, and we are not vegetarians, so we must let you see who is more powerful.
Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan are not easy to deal with, but these two also have weaknesses, Sheng Yong only concentrates on military affairs, while Tie Xuan is extremely despised for changing the law, and he doesn't understand many changes in the Jing Yan Army...... Now they have suffered a big loss.
The artists who went to the side of the Jingnan Army were arranged to live in the barracks.
The first thing they feel when they come in is that it's clean!
Inside out, not even a single weed.
The soldiers were clean and tidy, there was a special place for bathing, and there was even a vegetable garden with green vegetables and fat pigs in the pens...... It was completely different from the chaotic camp of the Southern Army in their impression.
They were entertained by hundreds of households, and the soldiers sat neatly and watched them perform...... After the performance, the pig was killed, and the big guys were busy together.
The fragrant rice and oily fatty slices made these artists feast and eat heartily...... The big guys chatted with each other, and they finally knew that the Jingnan Army was really different, ordinary soldiers had the right to dispose of vegetable money, and what they ate was purchased by soldiers with vegetable gold.
Not only that, but all the soldiers were divided into fields, with a minimum of 30 acres of land, and a maximum of 100 acres according to the size of their military merits. In addition to having land, there are also schools in the city, which can allow the children of the army to go to school, especially the military household system has also existed in name only.
In the past, he was reluctant to be a soldier, so his father died and his son succeeded, and he had to act as a military household for the rest of his life.
But now it's different, after Juntian, the army has become the patron saint to protect everyone's achievements, and the soldiers are no longer the eight masters of Qiu...... Many people from good families are vying to marry the soldiers. As long as you marry a soldier, you can enjoy some preferential treatment for school and conscription.
Obviously, in the northwest, there is also a difference, but this difference is not judged by the name of the imperial examination, but by the size of the military merit!
Liu Youfu is an old artist who sings Kun dialect, from the time of the Yuan Dynasty, to the present, although people are old, but because of their skillful singing and unique charm, they are still very popular.
This time, he was ordered to go to the Jingnan Army to break the army's heart, but after three days of performance, Liu Youfu only said one sentence: If he is thirty years younger, he is willing to follow King Yan to fight the world!
Not only did he say so, but many artists returned to Luoyang, and talked about the benefits of the Jingnan Army everywhere in taverns and restaurants, tea stalls and temple fairs...... Tell the big guys all the new things they saw in Xi'an.
Gradually, among the people, there was a subtle change in thinking, and this change spread to the army...... Especially after the soldiers who went to the horse race and archery returned, they brought back the real situation of the Jingnan army.
After staying in the barracks of the Jingnan Army for a few days, when I came back and saw it, it was like a pig's nest.
It's not pleasing to the eye, it's the same food and soldiers, why is the difference so big?
Everyone was angry and indignant.
Coincidentally, the military rations were delivered, and when the meal was placed in front of the big guy, the soldiers finally couldn't help it, the smell of moldy corn was pungent to the nostrils, and the rice was still colorful, can this thing fill the stomach? If you eat it, you'll die!
The difference with the Jingnan Army is too great, one in the sky and the other on the ground, there is no comparison at all.
"Is this what people eat?" A young soldier said angrily.
An old pawn next to him sneered, "Boy, you ask first, do you see us as human beings?" ”
"If you don't treat us as human beings, then why do we still give them our lives?"
This question is a good question, but no one dares to answer it, the military order is like a mountain, if it is passed out, it will be fatal!
"Hurry up and eat, don't spray feces." The old pawn was timid and quickly reminded.
The young soldier didn't have the slightest thought, threw the bowl on the ground, and went straight back to the stinking tent, but he couldn't sleep at all, his stomach was empty, and the stomach juice constantly stimulated his nerves...... No wonder they work so hard, if they were themselves, they would work even harder, right?
It was in the middle of the night, and he finally got up, and as soon as he got out of the tent, he collided with the old pawn.
"What are you going for?"
"Me, I can't make it easier!" The young soldier said with a scowl on his face.
The old pawn scolded: "I didn't eat or drink, it's convenient to fart!" ”
The young soldier was speechless, not knowing what to say, and the old soldier suddenly handed him a knife as if he were playing a trick.
"Don't be stupid, follow quickly, let's take refuge in King Yan!"
"Just the two of us?"
The veteran said, "Silly boy, there are many, hurry up, don't let those bastards take the lead!" ”
