Chapter 73: Reward and Punishment

Qiang? Can you trust it? I'm a little worried! Hearing that it was such a person, Li Erhei said bluntly.

"After these few times, Peng Lin is still a good person. They were also brave in the battle, and now they have accumulated a lot of credit, so they just took this opportunity to promote them well. Make the best use of things, make the best use of talents, we may have more territory in the future, and it is impossible to completely exclude the Hu people! Li Xin understands his worries very well, but he has his own ideas.

"What you said makes sense, it's just that I'm worried that it will be difficult to control in the future!" Li Erhei is still a little worried.

"You don't have to worry about this, first of all, as long as we stay strong ourselves, and if he has greater benefits for us to follow, he won't have two hearts. At the same time, although he is the commander of the cavalry team, the soldiers under him are all veterans of our Huashan Army, so there is no problem at this point. Employing people is not suspicious, and suspicious people are not needed! We must broaden our horizons, there are many Hu people in this Guanzhong land, and there are even more Hu people in the surrounding Liangqin Prefectures. If these people can be used by us, it is a powerful force. Let's not engage in the division and rule of Hu and Han, which is only good for us, not bad. Li Xin knew that he was unsolvable for a while, so he had to enlighten him.

At this point, people in this era will have some scruples. After all, the world is so chaotic, it can be said that the problem of the distinction between Hu and Han has played a big role in it. For example, the current Fu Qin regime, the previous Shi Zhao regime, etc., basically set up two sets of teams, one for the Han people and the other for the Hu people. Although such an idea seems to be good, it actually deepens the contradictions between Hu and Han.

Li Xin, as a time-traveler from later generations, of course, cannot be without a little ambition, especially in such a troubled era. But his ambition is not just like Fu Jian and Murong Clan, he just wants to be the king and hegemon and establish a regime. He thinks more about the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, as his own words say, that is his ultimate wish.

As we all know, in the Tang Dynasty, there were many Hu people in the court, and they were born and died for the Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for Datang himself later, I'm afraid this situation would have continued. Therefore, the root cause is not to say that Hu and Han are different, but to say whether they are strong enough.

In this regard, Li Xin understands better than others. After all, there are a lot of Hu people in this world, can you still kill them all? It is not a smart way to set up enemies for yourself, and it is the best way to turn enemies into friends, or even for your own comrades.

Due to the strictness of military regulations, the distinction between Hu and Han in the Huashan Army is not so serious. Once he enters the Huashan Army, no matter who he comes from or where he comes from, as long as he is loyal to the Huashan Army, he is his own person and a comrade-in-arms he can rely on.

Ever since Peng Lin and his Hu people joined the army, Li Xin had secretly observed. Although it seemed out of place at first, as we got along for a long time, especially after a few side by side battles, everyone slowly became familiar with each other, and the estrangement between each other began to slowly dissipate.

From this point of view, it is enough to show that there is no problem with Li Xin's idea. And after Peng Lin and the others felt the completely different atmosphere in the Huashan Army, their loyalty to the Huashan Army naturally skyrocketed. If at this time, all the meritorious soldiers are rewarded and punished clearly, then they should be completely satisfied.

"Now that you've thought it all out, go for it! I believe in you anyway! That Peng Lin, when I see him, as long as you think he's okay, I'll believe him! Li Erhei scratched his head and said.

"Well, when I go back, transfer the fourth and fifth battalions, and let the first and second battalions go back and have a good rest! However, you must not be careless, and in a short time, I am afraid that we will be tired! Hearing his words, Li Xin smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder, and said.

These old brothers of Huashan Army were very touched by their trust in him. If it weren't for the support of these people behind him, he wouldn't have been able to get all the way to where he is now.

However, before leaving, Li Xin specially wrote a letter for Fu Jing to send over. When Fu Jing returned to the camp, she saw the letter.

"What a Li Xin, he is so arrogant! It's so deceitful! After Fu Jing saw it, she couldn't help but say angrily.

The text on the letter is very simple, there is only one line of words, called "If people do not offend me, I will not offend others, and if people offend me, I will offend others".

is clearly telling him that the reason why he has such a loss is because he sent troops to attack the Lishui defense line. He must be responsible for all the consequences caused by this.

Li Xin's purpose in doing this is naturally to deter the other party and make the other party dare not act rashly. At the moment, he is not going to completely fight the other party, and hopes to have a period of time for himself to take a good rest and prepare for the various problems that may arise in the next stage.

Although Fu Jing was angry, he had to consider the risks involved at this time, especially since he still had to go to Fu Xiong's camp at this time, and he didn't know what the consequences were. Therefore, after reading it, I can only tear the letter to shreds, but I can't do anything.

After returning to Huayin County, Li Xin immediately called Peng Lin over and told him that he was going to train cavalry.

"Let your subordinates train cavalry? Isn't that appropriate? When Peng Lin heard the news, he couldn't help but feel extremely surprised, after all, this was really too unexpected for him.

The distinction between Hu and Han is not only the prejudice and vigilance of the Han people against the Hu people, but also the Hu people. In a force dominated by Han people, they can be reused and take on such a heavy responsibility, which is something they can't imagine.

"Nothing out of place. First of all, I said at the beginning, as long as you are loyal to the Huashan Army, then you are your own person. Again, you have the ability, and I believe you can do this job well. Moreover, after these few battles, you have accumulated a lot of military exploits, and now that the war has come to an end, it is time to reward your meritorious deeds, and this position can be regarded as a promotion for you. In short, I hope you don't live up to my expectations of you! Li Xin knew what he was thinking, so he deliberately said the reason.

Hearing this, Peng Lin was silent, and he couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart because Li Xin trusted him so much. Thinking of these days, he has indeed lived well in the Huashan Army, and compared with the past, it is really much better. Moreover, judging from the conversations with other Hu people, there is basically no obvious estrangement, and this heart has slowly settled down.

"Since the general trusts his subordinates so much, his subordinates must do their best, even if they are full of liver and brain, they will definitely live up to the general's trust!" The soldier died for his confidant, and he was able to get a Shangguan who valued him so much, Peng Lin decided to let it go.

"Very well, I will allocate a brigade from the first battalion and the third battalion, a total of four hundred people, to form a new cavalry team, and you will be the head of this team, temporarily subordinate to the first battalion. These horses will be handed over to you people to be responsible, and your task is to train them into qualified cavalry, as for what you need, you can go directly to me or find the king's book! Li Xin nodded and explained.

"Yes, my subordinates will go down and prepare!" Peng Lin said excitedly, this is a treatment that ordinary people can't get!

After Peng Lin retired, Li Xin began to deal with official documents, and now that the territory is still small, there are not too many official documents, so they are quickly processed. The most important thing for Li Xin to prepare for is to draw up the list of promotions.

In ancient times, low-level officers were generally not particularly valued, especially for this era of class concepts and strict hierarchies. Those grass kings in troubled times can be said, after all, many people originally started from the grass and came from the bottom, and they may be better in this regard.

But for a place like the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is different, under the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the family and the county have already decided everything, and the Wang clan disdains to deal with the Hanmen Shu clan.

Li Xin hated such things, so naturally he would not engage in such things in his Huashan Army. There can be a hierarchy, but it must come from a good system, and it must be a hierarchy determined by talent, not by the glory of grandparents.

The Huashan Army has only been promoted twice so far, and each time it was carried out after the battle and everyone was resting. And Li Xin has always adhered to a habit, that is, for the people who are promoted, they must meet in person and talk about it.

These lists were all submitted by the generals at all levels below, and Li Xin had to guard against people putting forward unsuitable candidates because of personal relations or because they could not save face. Of course, the main reason why he did this was because the scale of the Huashan Army was not very large, otherwise, he would only exhaust himself to death by doing so.

But it is not surprising that if the scale of the Huashan Army is really getting bigger and bigger in the future, then this group of people in the army should be slowly promoted to the level of high-level generals. In this way, Li Xin understands these generals, and these generals know the people below, relatively speaking, they can better ensure the strong combat effectiveness of the Huashan Army. 166 Reading Network
