Chapter 205 Bingzhou Situation (Eleventh)

Indeed, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Li Shanchang followed Zhu Yuanzhang in his early years, worked diligently for many years, dispatched grain, grass, and equipment, and worked hard in logistics. Xiao He of the Han Dynasty did not have such credit for him.

The most important thing is that when Li Shanchang defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was just a small soldier in charge, and the dragon had not yet appeared.

This is fundamentally different from when Liu Bowen, Song Lian and others defected in the later period. Taking Liu Bowen as an example, Zhu Yuanzhang had already occupied Nanjing at that time, so he asked Liu Bowen to help him. Liu Bowen was willing to leave the mountain.

Although in the later period, Liu Bowen was several times stronger than Li Shanchang in terms of strategy, but in terms of loyalty, the later group of civil servants were far inferior to Li Shanchang.

In that troubled time, the people were displaced, and it was not difficult to organize these people to take up arms and fight, but what was lacking were some educated people who were willing to rebel.

The importance of Li Shanchang to Zhu Yuanzhang was quickly reflected. In the early days, Li Shanchang recruited talents for Zhu Yuanzhang and helped Zhu Yuanzhang sort out military discipline. Involuntary things.

As we all know, Zhu Yuanzhang suffered a lot when he was young, and his parents died. When he became a monk in Huangjue Temple, it happened that the Red Scarf Army revolted, and Zhu Yuanzhang joined the Red Scarf Army.

Guo Zixing, marshal of the Haozhou Red Scarf Army, saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was resolute and knew a few words in the temple, so he reused it and betrothed his adopted daughter Ma to Zhu Yuanzhang.

But Zhu Yuanzhang grew up gradually, and was suspected by Guo Zixing and his son, so Zhu Yuanzhang took 24 confidantes, left Haozhou for Chuzhou, and created a base of his own, that is, here, Zhu Yuanzhang got Li Shanchang.

But then, Zhu Yuanzhang's old boss Guo Zixing couldn't get along in Haozhou, so he had to come to Chuzhou to join Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang is simple and honest, and believes that the reason why he is today is the gift of his old boss and old father-in-law. Therefore, he did not hesitate to hand over his military power to Guo Zixing. "History of Ming Dynasty" records:
Zixing Fang was in a hurry, and always consulted with the Taizu. His cronies were like right and left hands.

In terms of merit, Li Shanchang has made a lot of contributions. He helped Zhu Yuanzhang train, raise and lead troops all the way. In terms of strategy, Li Shanchang has become the main staff of Zhu Yuanzhang's staff since Zhu Yuanzhang captured Chuzhou.

Even Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang himself made a high evaluation of Li Shanchang, "Xiao He had a meritorious service back then, which was praised by everyone for thousands of years. Compared with Shanchang, Xiao He may not be too good".

Li Shanchang's assistance to Zhu Yuanzhang is mainly reflected in the following three aspects. The first aspect is to reconcile the generals and strictly enforce military discipline.

Zhu Yuanzhang once said to Li Shanchang: "Nowadays, all the heroes are fighting together, and there must be wise men who can't consult with them. I see that among the heroes, those who hold the files and plan things often destroy the left and right soldiers.

After its wings are gone, the master will survive alone, so he will die one after another. You should learn from his mistakes, and you will succeed in coordinating, and don't follow what he does! "

Li Shanchang deeply believed that for the soldiers who surrendered, Li Shanchang was able to distinguish the virtuous from the foolish and reconcile the generals, so that the soldiers could dispel their doubts and follow Zhu Yuanzhang with peace of mind.

Li Shanchang was also strict in rectifying military discipline. Every time he captured a city, he posted bans everywhere to prevent soldiers from harassing the people.

Li Shanchang's second achievement is to stay behind and supply military supplies.

The most important reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to wipe out powerful enemies and ascend to the throne was to have a stable rear.

Every time Zhu Yuanzhang went out to fight, he asked Li Shanchang to stay behind, and he would coordinate the overall situation, transfer food and grass, and supply the front military supplies.

At the same time, Li Shanchang also strengthened the military defense of the rear, developed the economy of the rear, ensured the order and stability of the rear, and reduced the burden on the people.

Under the management of Li Shanchang, the people behind Zhu Yuanzhang lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the soldiers lived in harmony.

Li Shanchang's management in the rear provided an important guarantee for Zhu Yuanzhang to fight for the final victory in the front line.

The third achievement of Li Shanchang is to develop the economy and get rid of long-standing evils.

Li Shanchang paid attention to developing the economy and reducing the economic burden of the people, so as to alleviate class conflicts.

He rectified taxes such as salt law, money law, tea law, iron smelting tax and fish tax, got rid of accumulated disadvantages, developed the economy and improved the people's living standards.

He also actively promoted and practiced Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of ​​garrisoning land and reclaiming wasteland, implemented the system of garrisoning land in various places, and developed water conservancy projects, turning many wastelands into fertile fields, which played a positive role in "the country will benefit the people, but the people will not be poor".

In the joint struggle to establish a new dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang stayed together and established a relationship model in which the monarch trusts his ministers and the ministers are loyal to the master.

Li Shanchang made Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinates harmonious and the supply of military supplies was sufficient, which provided a guarantee for Zhu Yuanzhang's victory in front-line combat. Therefore, Li Shanchang contributed a lot to Zhu Yuanzhang's creation of the Ming Dynasty.

In the early Ming Dynasty, a thousand wastes were waiting to be revived. It was necessary not only to restore production and develop the economy, but also to complete the cause of national unification and wipe out the remaining forces of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.

Therefore, 13 years before Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang relied heavily on heroes, but after the efforts of the early Ming Dynasty, the society gradually prospered in the middle of Hongwu, politics was relatively stable, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards Li Shanchang and other heroes changed, from initial trust to suspicion, and finally to a large-scale massacre.

Objectively speaking, the heroes of Huaixi, headed by Li Shanchang, were extremely noble and arrogant. They violated the rules and acted recklessly, and lost the prudence that officials should have.

Li Shanchang won the trust and reliance of Zhu Yuanzhang with his resourcefulness, but Li Shanchang had scheming but no foresight, and gradually lost his prudence as an official while gaining favor.

On the surface, Li Shanchang does not fight with others, but if someone violates his rights, he will try his best to retaliate.

After becoming a family with Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang became more confident, and even had his salary cut by Zhu Yuanzhang as a warning.

After Li Shanchang became an official, he still participated in the affairs of the government, had great influence in the central and local governments, and was the core leader of the Huaixi Meritorious Officials Group.

Most of this group came from poor peasants. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, they transformed into a new class of feudal landlords. They became increasingly arrogant and domineering, and gradually indulged in the struggle for power.

Even their servants and family members ignored the law, relied on their power to oppress the people, and ran amok in the village, as if they had become a tyrant.

The heroes of Huaixi gradually degenerated into a destructive force that dug the corner of feudal rule, which Zhu Yuanzhang could not bear.

Li Shanchang was "comfortable on the outside, but caring on the inside".

"忮灯" means jealousy and meanness, and it is a synonym for selfishness and narrow-mindedness. Li Shanchang's narrow-mindedness is also manifested in his pride in taking credit and taking bribes.
