Chapter 87: Baoju
Therefore, Fan Li's state in the officialdom this time is especially different, especially this time, after communicating with Gao Ji, the relationship between him and Luo Yu is much closer than before.
To tell the truth, since Fan Liang left Huzhou, went to other places to train soldiers, and then won a few battles, Luo Yu is not as keen on him as before to revenge, because the two of them do not have any conflict of interests, and they do not say that Fan Liang came to grab land and power, this kind of hidden danger.
In addition, with Gao Ji talking about it next to him, the relationship between Fan Li and Luo Yu is still good. When Fan Li was besieged before, Luo Yu really helped a lot.
The ancients did things, what did they talk about the right time, place and people, at least now Fan Li's person and officialdom have reached this part, so can he do this part in the military? Not really.
Because this time he sent troops, in fact, it was not he himself who said that the land and water army was like the original, they all listened to me alone, and I had the final say, but in fact, it was not like that. There weren't too many generals who fought with him. First of all, the navy is no longer under the control of Fan Li, and the army will add a piece, and there will be more than 10,000 people.
So Fan Li is equivalent to saying that the right, although the official has not changed, but the right is much smaller than before. But in fact, don't you still have to fight? The rebel army is still quite powerful.
But this time, Fan Liang didn't rush in, no matter what Gao Ji said, saying that you should surprise the soldiers, no, I won't rush in, I'll fight honestly.
In this battle, in fact, although we say that the military situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, but in the entire period of Fan Li, in the struggle with the rebel army, it is basically a state of repeated contention for one city and one pool. It's yours today, it's mine tomorrow, and you'll take it here the day after tomorrow, and I'll have to get it back the day after tomorrow. They all want to swallow each other, but they haven't been able to swallow each other's strength.
This form seems to be very close to the state before Fan Liang was asked to be idle at home, but it only seems to be like this on the surface, Fan Li's psychological state now is different from that time before, and secondly, he now wants friends and friends, officialdom networks, officialdom networks, and face.
Therefore, the eldest brother withstood it, not only withstood it, but this entanglement in his heart was far worse than before. It is even said that Fan Li has been quite comfortable during this period of time.
Of course, this comfort is only a matter of Fan Li's mentality, he still has to work hard bit by bit to change himself, and now there are too few soldiers under his command.
So how to change it? Send out a lot of job postings, what kind of network do you want to get a job? Impossible.
So how did Fan Li do it, that is, if this kind of thing was put on the past Fan Li, he would never do it. What's the matter? More on that later.
Didn't the emperor send him to Zhezhou? Isn't there a stone in Zhezhou? In fact, he didn't catch up, Fan Liang took his more than 10,000 people to Zhezhou just left, the emperor's edict came down again, saying that the stone rises, and withdraws, the manpower in that part of Zhejiang is enough, you just go out, you still go back to Ganzhou, fight with Ganzhou, give me this territory in Ganzhou, occupy it for me, I will designate a place for you, you go to fight!
That's why Fan Liang took him with more than 10,000 people, who can compare and compete with others. To be honest, at this time, the problems faced by Fan Li are no longer the same as before, and he is no longer worried about money and relationships like before, and now he is not too bad, what is the difference, the difference is that I have no one.
So how can you increase the number of people under your own subordinates? In the past, there was a saying that when you put up a recruitment flag, you have your own food eaters. The key question is how many years I have been recruiting, and almost all of them have come. How can you recruit it again, you have to surprise the soldiers, how to surprise the soldiers?
In the past, what did Fan Li pay attention to when he was fighting, I paid more wages to my soldiers, come to me, I gave them more money, so that they could have the confidence and strength to win the battle for me.
But to be honest, how much do you think you pay those who go to war? Right, how much money doesn't seem to be much. Therefore, this time, even if Fan Li is rich, it is not attractive, because there are too many people who have won the battle, and this is how the brave soldiers have been brought over for so many years.
At this moment, Fan Li wants to recruit more people, what a difficult thing it is! Where can you get more salary? He always has a standard, so you have to think of something else.
What can be done? Recommended. What is Baoju? In the past, after every battle, I had to report to the emperor, saying how this battle was fought, who was who, what was the merit? Whoever is who, what kind of work, write this down, or whoever and who, if there is any problem, you have to report it to the emperor.
So when you wrote this report, you said whether he made any contributions, how good he was, what is this, it is tantamount to telling the emperor in disguise that this person can, the emperor, you give him a name, you give him some benefits, you give him a promotion.
In fact, it is to do this kind of thing, whether it is the Tiger Ben Army or other troops, this rotten style is very popular. What is a bad move? No matter whether it is a big battle or a small battle, as long as it is won, the officer who leads the army will desperately protect his subordinates, no matter whether this person can contribute on the battlefield or not, he can get some benefits to a greater or lesser extent.
But Fan Li never did this at the beginning, he was annoyed by this kind of behavior, I have to be responsible for the emperor, can the emperor's money be spent casually? I am the most loyal minister in the world, and I have to strictly guard this for the emperor.
So the number of people he protected was the smallest in all the battlefields, and when he led his troops to defeat Changzhou, how many people did he save as a result? 300 people were saved, and then these people who passed through him to protect and receive awards accounted for 3% of the entire expeditionary force.
So, what's wrong with the 3%? Okay, let's talk about how Hu Linzhi did it, Hu Linzhi also captured Changzhou, how did people do it? More than 3,000 people were promoted, and the number of awards reached 20 or 30 percent.
You see, they all brought about 10,000 people, and as a result, when they worked under Hu Linzhi, twenty or thirty out of 100 people could receive the bonus award, and two or three out of 100 people could receive the bonus when they worked under Fan Li.
You said that after this battle, if there are still people who want to join the army, will he join Fan Li or Hu Linzhi? Obvious. Even many of Fan Li's subordinates took the initiative to run under Hu Linzhi's door.
