Chapter 304 Appeasement

What is the navy? In the south, the navy is the wing of the army. Without the navy, it is difficult to walk.

Zhu Yuanzhang is well aware of the important surname of the navy. If there is no navy, the Yangtze River itself can't cross it at all. Now he is still playing hide-and-seek with the Yuan army in the ravine of Chuzhou. Now, he occupies Yingtian. Taking this as a foothold, it is a good opportunity to march to various places on a large scale.

However, at this juncture, the navy made a mess.

Zhou Dexing killed Yu Tongyuan, and the water army took Yu Tonghai as the leader before turning to him. Until now, Yu Tonghai is still the leader of the navy, and Yu Tongyuan is Yu Tonghai's younger brother.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that he had surrendered this navy, but they did not have the soldiers recruited by themselves. The biggest disadvantage is that the discipline is not strong. To put it bluntly, some sailors are actually water thieves. They used to do a costless business on the water. After this attack, many water thieves got up. If you want to rob the people in Yingtian City, this kind of behavior must be prohibited. Otherwise, Yingtian will be messed up by them and will ruin your reputation.

This wind can't rise!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhou Dexing in front of him and said, "Dexing, you are not wrong. I gave the order. You are just faithfully carrying out the order. By the way, find the family you saved."

Zhou Dexing was happy to see that the eldest brother did not blame himself. Before killing Yu Tongyuan, he was ready. After returning, the eldest brother handed himself over to Yu Tonghai in order to calm Yu Tonghai's anger. Now it seems that he is completely over-concerned.

"Yes, big brother." Zhou Dexing went out.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed. These sailor soldiers only want combat effectiveness. Now it seems that there is no strict discipline, which is not a good thing. If he disturbs the people, his career will not last long. In his heart, he already has the ambition of the world. At present, the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River have been seen in his eyes.

As soon as Zhou Dexing went out, Yu Tonghai and Yu Tongyuan came in angrily.

"Oh? Are you two here? Please sit down." Zhu Yuanzhang said happily.

"Brother, we are here to ask for an explanation." Yu Tongyuan didn't sit down and said angrily.

"What do you say? Say it." Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry.

"When we defected to the eldest brother, we said that we were willing to work for the eldest brother and contributed all the sailors. Now, with the help of our sailors, the eldest brother took Yingtian. Now, as soon as we took Yingtian, the eldest brother began to clear some of our sailors, and even my third brother was purged. What's going on? Yu Tongyuan said.

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank: "Yes, I was very happy and grateful for the patriotism of the two to come with the two sailor. Therefore, the sailor brought by the two was still led by the two, but I didn't expect that the two failed to trust in the two!"

"Since we defected to the eldest brother, we celebrated the next time and attacked the city together. What did we do wrong? Why did you live up to the trust of the eldest brother? Yu Tonghai couldn't help saying.

Although this is Zhu Yuanzhang's territory, the two are not afraid. They know that Zhu Yuanzhang still need his own navy at present. Without himself, he can't command the navy at all, so he absolutely dares not touch them.

"I ask you, why are we celebrating?" Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the two people fiercely and said.

"That's need to say, of course it's a tartar."

"So why do we play tartars?"

"Because the tars brutally bullied the people, we have no way to live. Only by beating the tars away can the people come out and live."

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone softened: "It turns out that you two know that we held an uprising at the charge of killing the head for the people of the world, not for the selfish desires of some people. Then, if there are people in our team who are more beasts than the tars, bullying the people, and more ruthless than the tars, then you say, the people Will you welcome us? Or will you hate us more than the tars?"

"If there is such a person, I will kill him myself." Yu Tonghai said.

"Good, as long as there is the word "Tonghai Brothers", I will be relieved." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Our army is not a tool for some people to absorb their selfish desires. Our army is to run away the tars and restore the Han people. Our army has strict discipline. Anyone who violates discipline must be engaged in military law."

"Brother, I brought it." Zhou Dexing quickly went to the place just now. As soon as he heard this, Furong immediately decided to follow him. However, her father was already ill after this incident, so he sent the housekeeper to come with her.

When Furong saw Zhu Yuanzhang, she glanced at him with her eyes. She was burly, but her appearance was a little unsatisfactory. Like the legend, she made a blessing: "Little girl Furong, I've seen Mr. Zhu."

"General, the master has fallen ill, so the little one came here, and the little one is the housekeeper." Housekeeper Liu said to Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully.

"You two are free of gifts. Please repeat this matter." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Let the little girl talk about it." Furong said, "When we learned that the general was coming to Jiqing, the people all over the city were looking forward to it. The tars ran away, and there was still a hope in our lives. In the past, my father wanted to marry the little girl several times, but the little girl refused."

At first glance, this seemed to be off the topic, but Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this girl named Furong was very smart. She was talking about the atrocities of the Taters. All newly married women had to be given to the Taters. Therefore, in many places, the Han people fell to death after giving birth to their first child.

"When he learned that the team had entered the city, the little girl's father had discussed with other people and wanted to bring some food and wine to comfort the army. However, he didn't expect it, but he heard that some troops entering the city were searching for the people."

Hibiscus's voice was gentle, but in Yu Tongyuan's heart, it was not a taste. He knew that some of his men did it like this. They did business in the river. When they entered the city and saw the big scene, it was hard to guarantee that they would not have crooked thoughts.

"The little woman knew that with Mr. Zhu as a person, her men would not do such a thing. She thought that the situation was wrong. It was not Mr. Zhu's team. Later, a team broke into the door and said that there were tars hidden in the house."

When it came to the key point, even Yu Tonghai cheered up. Hearing it, in his opinion, what he said earlier was all nonsense.

"We all hate the tars. We can't wait to peel the tars. How can we hide the tars! Dad quickly said that since the Rebels came, he was willing to pay 500 taels of silver to support the Rebels, but he didn't expect..."

"It's okay, you go on." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

" Among the people who came, the leader said, don't want silver, you have to ask me!"

As soon as this was said, everyone was stunned. In broad daylight, they robbed women. Isn't this a bandit? Even Yu Tongyuan coughed twice. Although the eldest brother didn't know, he knew that his useless third brother could really do this kind of thing.

After Furong finished speaking, tears had fallen down.

"Miss, don't worry, Mr. Zhu will definitely make the decision for us." Housekeeper Liu next to him quickly persuaded him.

"Dexing, take them back first." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

After sending the two people away, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yu Tonghai and Yu Tongyuan, who were no longer arrogant and said, "You two, do you think General Zhou didn't handle this matter properly?"

"Even if the third brother is guilty, it has to be handled by us, right?" Yu Tongyuan said unwillingly.

"You are both leaders of the army. Do you know the truth that kindness is not in charge of the army? This crooked wind must be stopped. Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Brother, you did the right thing this time. I have nothing to say." Yu Tonghai was completely convinced. He didn't expect that his third brother, who grew up with his own eyes, was a scourge of bullying.

"I'm going to say goodbye!" Yu Tonghai said.

"Big brother!" Yu Tongyuan is still unconvinced.

"Go, don't you think it's embarrassing enough?" Yu Tonghai turned his head and walked back.

"Brother Yu." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "This time, the water army has made great contributions. I decided to inform the three armies that the water army will be rewarded with five taels of silver."

"Thank you, big brother." Yu Tonghai was surprised and hurried to thank him.

He slapped people, and then he had to feed them a piece of candy. Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew the truth of buying people's hearts. The scum in the navy had been eliminated by Zhou Dexing. The rest of these people gave them a reward, so that they could gradually move closer to themselves in gratitude. After a few battles, it is the foundation of leading the army to transfer the people who know the surname of water to the navy, replace the officers at all levels, and firmly control the navy in their own hands.

The army must listen to one voice, that is itself!

Looking at the backs of the two people going out, Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved. This matter was temporarily resolved.

Suddenly, Guo Ying hurried in.

"Guo Ying, what can I do for you?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Big brother, happy event, great happy event!" Guo Yingxi raised her eyebrows and said.

Happy event? Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Where does joy come from?"

"Big brother has been promoted!"

Promotion? Zhu Yuanzhang wondered that although his red scarf army was also organized according to ten households, hundreds of households, thousands of households and tens of thousands of households, and there were officers at all levels, in the senior command center, these people did not have any official positions. For example, they were a steward in Guo Zixing's army at the beginning. Since he started his own business and created today's foundation, but to the outside world, he is still Guo Zixing's subordinate and still a manager.

What kind of official can you be promoted to?

"Big brother, the emperor has ascended the throne and was divided into hundreds of officials. The eldest brother has become the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture. This is a third-grade official." Guo Ying said.

Your Majesty? Official? ? Zhu Yuanzhang didn't react for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"Brother, General Liu of our Red Turban Army, supported Han Lin'er as emperor in Haozhou and built the State of Song. We have our own regime!" Guo Ying then explained.

Zhu Yuanzhang was nervous. This is really not good news!
