Liu Bowen said the ten evils of the rebels in one breath, and Zhu Yuanzhang was cold in his back when he heard it, and did not say a word for half a day, but silently picked up the tea bowl and stood up. Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang smashed the tea bowl in his hand. Liu Bowen was shocked in his heart: It's over.
Liu Bowen saw Zhu Yuanzhang under the city as the head of the city, and he killed his relatives in righteousness. Zhu Yuanzhang's remarks and actions have already demonstrated the heart of the emperor, and Liu Bowen is determined to assist Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang had long heard of Liu Bowen's name in Qingtian, and invited him out of the mountain several times and three times, but it backfired, and now Liu Bowen himself sent it to the door, Zhu Yuanzhang was of course very happy, and he also specially built a lixian hall for him, for a time, Liu Bowen's momentum overshadowed Li Shanchang's limelight.
It is said that the literati are light, and When Li Shanchang saw that Liu Bowen was favored, he was naturally a little sour, and he wanted to dig a pit for Liu Bowen. Therefore, Li Shanchang deliberately talked about Liu Bowen's old affairs in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Li Shanchang said, "Brother Bowen, I heard that you gave a recital to the Yuan Court and denounced the ten evils of the rebels, and both the superior and I want to hear which ten evils they are." "Saying the evil of the rebels in front of Zhu Yuanzhang is a proposition."
At that time, Liu Bowen served the Yuan court, but not only could he not be reused by the imperial court, but he also almost lost his life. Now turn to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang also wants to know Liu Bowen's sincerity.
Liu Bowen is such a smart person, knowing that this is a pit, it is inconvenient to answer, so he had to lower his posture to apologize and think about passing through the pass. Liu Bowen said: "Offended and offended, at that time Berwyn had a foolish loyalty, and now I want to come to feel very guilty, very guilty." ”
However, the more he did this, the more he aroused Zhu Yuanzhang's interest, and Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to hear what the image of the rebels was in Liu Bowen's mind.
Liu Bowen saw that this posture did not say no, had to change the topic hard, the meaning is different.
Liu Bowen said sincerely: "The so-called ten evils of the rebel army are actually the ten fatal weaknesses of our rebel brothers." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was even more spirited when he heard it. Zhu Yuanzhang has great ambitions and the spirit of humble learning, if Liu Bowen really pointed out the various weaknesses of the rebel army, then wouldn't I be even stronger after I corrected it?
Zhu Yuanzhang asked eagerly, "Sir, what are the ten fatal weaknesses?" The tone was also a lot more sincere.
When Liu Bowen saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had been attracted, he stood up and solemnly said: "First, disrespect Kong Meng, and desecrate the way of the saints; second, corrupt heaven and human morality; third, attack indiscriminately, like a rogue..."
Liu Bowen said ten in one breath, and the article hit the key point, he was happy, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy. Zhu Yuanzhang sat stupidly for half a day without saying a word, just gently lifted the tea bowl, slowly turned around to face the rockery and pondered. Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang smashed the tea bowl to pieces, and at this time, Liu Bowen's heart trembled, as if he was about to be in great trouble.
Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The scolding is really painful!" Sir, this is to expose all the problems of the rebels! Li Shanchang took the opportunity to rush forward: "Famous and cursed throughout the ages, it has been passed down for thousands of years!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked squarely at Liu Bowen: "Mr. FuLao has written out all these ten evils, and every word must be written as big as a fist!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang is well aware of the truth that "good medicine is good for the disease, and loyal words are good for the ear", and he also has the determination to "change if you have heard it". According to the "ten evils" proposed by Liu Bowen, a new military discipline was formulated and the rebel army was strictly rectified.
Zhu Yuanzhang sent a pamphlet to officers above the rank of deputy general, and declared in the hall: "Let's talk about the ugliness to the front, within ten days, give it to me, and if anyone forgets, loses it, or drinks wine, I will shake him to the end and raise a horse for me!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang could understand Liu Bowen, but the soldiers below had long been accustomed to the original style, where they had been so constrained. However, they did not dare to disobey Zhu Yuanzhang's military orders, and could only blame Liu Bowen for all the dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Liu Bowen had just jumped out of Li Shanchang's pit and laid the foundation for himself.
At this time, the military intelligence came to report: Yuan Ting sent 530,000 troops to encircle and suppress the rebels in both the east and the west.
Soldiers came to cover the water, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the map, Anqing and Taiping town are the places where land and water must pass, so chang Yuchun and Hua Rong were sent to preemptively take Anqing and Taiping towns respectively, in order to curb the yuan army's offensive.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was lining up his troops, the biggest opponent in his life was quietly rising, that is, Chen Youyu.
Chen Youyu had read books and practiced martial arts when he was a child, and had worked as a small official in the county. Later, he joined the Red Turban Army at the end of the day, and was subordinated to the minister Ni Wenjun as a bookkeeper, and was promoted to marshal with merit. In September 1357, Ni Wenjun plotted to kill Emperor Xu Shouhui, and Chen Youyi killed Wenjun and took over his army and established himself as king of Han.
At this time, Chen Youyu had an army of more than 600,000, and his strength was already above Zhu Yuanzhang. In the name of the King of Han, he issued an order to Zhu Yuanzhang: either he was a subject or he was beaten.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that the contradiction between himself and Chen Youyu was an internal contradiction of the rebel army, although Chen Youyu was arrogant, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to have a direct conflict with Chen Youyu, after all, his strength was not as good as that of others.
Liu Bowen said: "We should first find out who is the real enemy, and the demise of the Yuan Dynasty is a matter of time." However, the leaders of the rebel army, whether it is Chen Youyu or Zhang Shicheng, the opponent who competes with the marshal for the world is the real enemy. ”
The advice given by Liu Bowen was: "First of all, the envoy held a congratulatory letter to chen Youyu, congratulated him on his promotion to the king of Han, and expressed his intention of submission. ”
Liu Bowen wanted to transfer the spearhead of the Yuan Army to Chen Youyu, so that he could both preserve his own strength and weaken his opponents. He ignored the feelings of Zhu Yuanzhang's generals, who were all low-level peasants, and Liu Bowen's words deeply stimulated their self-esteem, and even Zhu Yuanzhang could not accept them in his heart.
Liu Bowen saw that there was no room for himself here, so he had to leave in disgrace.
In the turbulent years, a person as famous as Liu Bowen also had troubles, Yuan Ting did not use him, and was afraid that others would reuse him, and he had repeatedly wanted to take Liu Bowen's life; now he finally decided to turn to Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was suspected by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Is it good to be a commoner? It's not good, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are overwhelmed, and the lives of soldiers and horses are worrying, or our current peace and prosperity are good, cherish the current life.
