Chapter 105: Scholar Li Du
But the book is a scholar, after coming out, you will find that many things are not what you imagined, first of all, these soldiers in Huizhou, who are the original garrisons here? It was Zhang Fu, the left deputy of the Imperial Palace, who had been stationed here for six years and was recalled to Beijing last month.
Then, 14,000 soldiers were left, and it stands to reason that Li Du should have enriched his team when he got these 14,000 soldiers, and you should be happy, but there is a problem here.
What's the problem? I haven't been paid for five months, and the morale of the army is fluctuating. What kind of concept is the fluctuation of military morale, that is, not only can they not fight, but they may become the bane, which is a factor of instability, and there are countless complaints.
So if someone instigates a defection, it's a matter of seconds. So what will Li Du do after he arrives here? It's stupid.
How did Li Du fail in Huizhou? Before leaving, Fan Liang worked hard to make five chapters with Li Du, and these five articles were handed over to Li Du, saying that if you can do this well, then you will become, and the implication is that if you can't do it well, you will be abolished.
Li Du's attitude was very good, saying no problem, I can do it, but what will happen in fact? Li Du made a mistake when he arrived in Huizhou.
First of all, this mistake was made in employing people. What's going on? Before Li Du came, the garrison of this place entered Beijing, leaving behind 14,000 soldiers and horses. It stands to reason that these 14,000 soldiers and horses were left behind and came to Li Du's hands, which is a new force.
These soldiers are familiar with the local area, and after he took them over, did he have 14,000 more helpers out of thin air? The reason is this, but there is something here, these people haven't been paid for five months, and they haven't gotten the ringing silver.
The soldier's head was hung from the waistband of his trousers, and it was all on the tip of a knife. You want to go five months without paying, how do these people feel? As soon as the morale of the army fluctuates, this thing will be bad, and as I said before, all their advantages have become their hidden dangers. Because when they can fight, when they can use it for me, that's a virtue, but when they can't use it for me, and when they become my potential enemies, it becomes a scourge for me to face.
Because they are familiar with Huizhou, it turns out that I think I use their words, in the city, the head and mind know everything, and they have all walked through this big and small alley. It's very convenient to do something.
Now they can't use it for me, it's broken, they dig a little alley, and I don't even know where to go. So these people have become the bane of Huizhou City.
But what about Li Du, he didn't expect this layer. In fact, at that time, the showdown between the rebel army and Li Du's army in Huizhou was imminent. The day after Li Du's soldiers arrived in Huizhou City, 40,000 troops of the rebel army arrived outside the city.
When he arrived outside the city, seeing the situation of going to war, the strategist under his hand reminded Li Du and said: My lord, first of all, I have to tell you something, do you say that in this world, is it easy for your own people to use, or is it easy for outsiders to use it? Li Du said: Of course, it is easy to use by your own people.
Oh! Okay, my lord, then I'll go on, you said that your own people don't pay salaries, okay? Does that still work?
Li Du said no, how can you do it without payroll? Okay, my lord, you said that if you don't pay a salary, you don't use it well, you don't have a stable personality, you put him in a particularly important position, okay?
Li Du said: Of course not! What the hell are you going to say?
The adviser under his command said, my lord, you said that your people will not be paid for five months, and you can't put him in a very important position, not to mention the 14,000 tiger army before, the tiger army and our brave soldiers have never dealt with each other. Your Excellency, you see where you have put these people now, all of them at the gates.
The city gate is guarded by the tiger army? The Tiger Benjun who hasn't been paid for five months? Yes! Do you think they can keep it for you? In case they turn against each other on the battlefield, you won't have a place to cry, my lord.
When Li Du heard it, hey, I'll go, it's too reasonable, come on, quickly replace all the green battalion soldiers in the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest for me, and replace them with our brave soldiers!
In fact, speaking of which, Li Du didn't have any problems dealing with this piece. Because the new official took office three times, the new leader came, saying that I brought a group of my own people, and I used the soldiers in my hand, which is normal.
The question is timing, and where you will be resettled after you replace the previous Tiger Army, you must always consider the voice of the masses and the feelings of the masses. Okay, when the soldiers come to the city, you change people, which is typical of distrust, right! This has already made the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army feel uncomfortable, and then we will see what Li Du has done wrong.
He sent all these replaced tiger soldiers to work as coolies, carrying ammunition, bricks, and grain and grass. At this moment, how can you let the already unbalanced Tiger Benjun in his heart accept it, and the words are extremely ugly, and they all start to scold.
The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army will not think about a son of heaven and a courtier, an official with a bunch of soldiers, they will not think about this, they will never think about the problem from the perspective of others.
People generally think about others from my point of view, so what do they say? They don't think that this Li Du is the guard, and this troop transfer will be arranged by Li Du, they are talking about the brave soldiers led by Li Du to drive them away.
Why did you drive us away, they were all for the imperial court, why did you brave soldiers make a windfall, we didn't take a penny in the past five months. Does this still make sense? Ah, seeing that we have come to the end, damn, what are you doing when you come and transfer us away? Oh, coolies, we do it, and you come here to earn money lightly. Damn, I'm quitting.
Emotions like this are common to all people. As a result, a stunned boy took the lead, and with more than 100 people, he robbed the bank, which was equivalent to the national bank at that time, and that's what it meant.
robbed the silver treasury, so what do you want Li Du to say? More than 100 tiger ben army robbed the silver vault! Is there a royal law? You are giving me a horse, and as soon as I come, you will rob the treasury. Come on, catch! brought 800 brave soldiers and arrested all the more than 100 tiger soldiers who made trouble.
After being arrested, I won't interrogate, and I don't ask about the severity of the situation, aren't you messing with me, and then today I'm going to let you see how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has, so that you know that your fingers can't twist your thighs. Cut it for me, more than 100 people were killed.
More than 14,000 tiger soldiers cut off more than 100 heads, and no one squeaked. Li Du is very happy in his heart, I have to give you a dismount, if I don't use this trick, you really think that I, a scholar, am a bully!
