Chapter 43 Persimmon to Pick Hard Pinch (Revised)

"This Wu Shaocheng is diligent in political affairs and proficient in military affairs, what a talent!"

After reading Wu Shaocheng's information, Li Yu couldn't help but sigh.

It's not your average prick for that. A man who has been in secession for more than 20 years is full of strategy, his subordinates are well-organized, his soldiers are brave, and he has a huge psychological advantage over the officers and soldiers. This character is already an irreparable object, and can only implement a ruthless dictatorship, and the dictatorship must be fast, fierce, and ruthless in order to deter other towns. In the history of Yuan and Zhongxing, only a few months after Xianzong's death, the various strong towns that originally returned to the imperial court rebelled, what is the reason? In addition to the lack of consolidation, the military merits of the imperial court are large and the deterrent power is not enough, which is also an aspect.

Yuan He's several crusades, Yang Huilin was killed by the generals, the Xichuan Army and the Huaixi Army, the Hebei Army, and the Ziqing Army were not considered strong, Liu Pi was also a scrap, and Li Qi was captured by the generals. After Wu Shaocheng's death, it took more than three years and cost five million dollars of property, and finally relied on Li Yu's surprise soldiers to make a final decision, and the crusade against Ziqing was based on Ziqing's civil strife, Liu Wu surrendered, Wei Bo is Tian Hongzheng was willing to obey the orders of the imperial court, and the crusade against Chengde was half a year to no avail, costing millions of dollars, and also losing Li Dingjin, and finally Li Shidao was killed and scared Wang Chengzong, these military exploits will not be taken into account if Li Yu is replaced, not to mention the far away place of the Tiangao Emperor?

Persimmon still has to be picked hard pinch. However, pinching hard persimmons is not a matter of one or two days, and the imperial court also needs time to accumulate strength and train the army, so Li Yu began to actively prepare on the one hand, and began to prepare for a far-reaching day on the other hand.

April 13 of the first year of Yongzhen, is a day written into history, on this day the imperial court strategy trial system, in the "talent and Mao Ming in the physical use of the subject" lieutenant colonel Shulang Yuanzhi, Bai Juyi, supervision of the imperial history Duguyu, advance Shi Xiao Li, Shen Chuanshi and others stand out. Soon, the imperial court appointed Yuan Zhi as the right picker, Dugu Yu as the left picker, Bai Juyi as Zhou Zhi County's comfort, Jixian School Manager, Xiao Li as the right picker, and Shen Chuanshi as the school secretary.

Bai Juyi broke his brain and couldn't understand why he made a contribution with Yuan Zhi last year, but this year he couldn't stay in the court as a counselor like Yuan Zhen. had to leave Chang'an in the midst of a sigh around him, and came to Zhou Zhi, a place not far from Chang'an. How did he know that the emperor had selfish intentions?

During this period of time, Li Yu re-divided the work of the prime minister, and Li Jifu, who originally assisted Lu Zhen, began to take charge of himself. After the meeting, since the main attack on Huaixi was determined, Li Yu thought twice and decided to let the crown prince Li Chun be in charge of the preparations for Huaixi.

Li Yu's consideration is actually very simple, in history, when Li Chun was the emperor, he was decisive and heroic, but as soon as his son Mu Zong ascended the throne, he ruined the results of his more than ten years of hard work, what is the reason? In connection with many wise emperors in history (Li Yu classified himself into this list in advance), most of the successors are not very profitable, the reason is that due to the distribution of power and the problem of competition, the prince often does not get effective exercise, and has nothing to do, and the excess energy will inevitably do something that does not seek to be progressive and unethical, causing the successor to be too lazy to have fun, not interested in governing the country, and not enough to govern the country and serve the public, so Li Yu decided to let Li Chun take some responsibility in advance.

Of course, the reason why Li Yu arranged this way is indeed because Li Chun began to appear similar to the second ancestor, less than a year after being the prince, Li Chun had already added two grandchildren to Li Yu in March and April~~

Now Li Yu chose Li Jifu as the prime minister to assist Li Chun in collecting intelligence on Huaixi, formulating strategic guidelines for Huaixi, and also assigned Wang Ya to be in charge of contact among the Hanlin scholars. After Li Yu determined the national policy, the Flying Eagle had been reorganized, and the Flying Eagle began to transform from a secret organization to a semi-public organization, which means that Li Yu persuaded the prime minister and Li Xun to give a vague establishment, called the Grain and Straw Branch, which was directly under the Ministry of War, but the responsible officials were suspended in the Hanlin Academy, and they were directly responsible to the emperor. Neizhong was further divided into five Cao, which were responsible for Jiangnan, Huaixi, Ziqing, Hebei, and Tubo Uighurs, as well as other towns. This yamen seems to be the same as the logistics department, and the scope of collection is not only military personnel, but also economic and folk customs. For example, Jiangnan Cao, Li Chan's proposition to them is to study the issue of Lingnan immigration.

There is no fool who can enter the Hanlin Academy, the bachelor of Hanlin has always been known as the internal minister, and the prime ministers in front of him are Lu Zhen and Li Jifu. At that time, the information was not developed, and those who knew a little more were experts, and everyone understood that now they are collecting these materials for research and analysis, and when the imperial court wants to use them, it is the time for them to use it for themselves, and they all happily accept the arrangement, so that Li Yu's original worries came to naught, and they thought that these people naturally like to work secretly. But these people are cool, Li Yu is distressed, the expenses of the grain and straw branch are not ordinarily large, Li Xun does not give enough money, and he has to take part of it from the inner treasury.

Since Feiying is semi-public, Gou Sheng is not suitable to continue to stay in it as a prisoner, the literati are ashamed to do things under the eunuchs, in history, Li Yong was promoted as a minister by the eunuch Tutu Chengxuan, and felt that it was an insult to himself, but he insisted on not taking office, so Xianzong had no choice but to let him go to the minister. Li Yu reformed the Flying Eagle to tell the truth that he was also worried about the story of the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, so he used the thoughtful and far-reaching Li Jiang to take charge of the matter, with Wang Ya and the newly recruited Hanlin scholar Cui Qunzuo.

As for Gou Sheng's arrangement, Li Yu really made a difficulty, and the reason why he made a mistake was because of his affection for Gou Sheng, Li Yu now realizes why the emperors of previous dynasties are reluctant to eunuchs, and can they give up a part of their own lives casually? Therefore, Li Yusheng Gou Sheng became a young eunuch, and in order to compensate Gou Sheng, he gave Gou Sheng another reward, but Gou Sheng's loss was shown on his face. Maslow's psychology divides people's psychology into five levels, and Gou Sheng is now at the psychological level of pursuing respect and realizing self-worth, after all, eunuchs are also human beings. Although Gou Sheng accepted the transfer, but the young eunuch of the inner chamberlain and the head of the Flying Eagle felt a little worse, whether a person who had tasted the taste of power would be willing to give up, Li Yu did not dare to guarantee it, Li Yu regretted letting Gou Sheng temporarily take charge of the Flying Eagle.

Regret is regret, and what needs to be done is still to be done. If you want to pinch hard persimmons, you must have good hands and good teeth, Li Yu has two things in front of him, both of which are related to Huaixi, one is an official, and the other is money.
