In fact, Li Yan is not afraid of offending anyone in the camp, Li Zicheng wants him to become a lonely minister, whether Li Yan wants to or not, he has to do it, if you want to blame him, he has little qualifications and strong ability.

The unhappy parting of the banquet was also expected by Li Yan, and it was impossible for him to get along well with Li Zijing if he hung the word "capital eunuch".

What's more, Li Zicheng is a perfect person, and he has always suppressed his relatives and relatives, and when Gao Yigong gathered 10,000 horses to support him when he was in trouble, although 10,000 may be a bit empty, but there are still thousands of people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a charcoal in the snow.

As a result, Li Zicheng began to suppress Gao Yigong with his backhand, just letting him listen to the tune in the back camp, that is, Gao Yigong was open-minded, otherwise he would have been dissatisfied with Li Zicheng a long time ago.

The same is true for Li Jin, a nephew who has been following him since he started the incident, he is in charge of the rear camp all the year round, and it is difficult for the rear camp to establish meritorious deeds, and Li Jin's status is at the bottom of the main generals, not much worse than a transparent person.

Li Zijing is a person who has no ability or not, and he is not Li Zicheng's cronies, so if he offends him, he will be offended, but there is no need to worry too much, and the most important thing at present is to completely integrate and regularize the entire logistics.

Out of the big tent, Li Yan took ten relatives and Wang Jinbao to wander around the back camp, asking questions everywhere, checking the storage of grain, the repair status of grain wagons, and the health of pack horses and mules.

was busy until sunset, and Li Yan and his party dragged their tired bodies back to their tents.

He looked at the situation of the rear camp in general, it was far more complicated than he imagined, and the rough management and unprofessional practices made the entire rear camp a mess.

Most of the mules and horses have been overwhelmed, according to the chief officer in charge of the sophistry that the forage should be given priority to the supply of military horses, the mules and horses in the rear camp are naturally not much, the current situation is almost every day mules and horses are sick and tired to death, and if this continues, I am afraid that the entire rear camp will have to rely on people to push carts if it does not reach Henan.

In addition to the livestock and the wounded soldiers, it is also extremely annoying, there is no modern sense of disinfection, a large number of wounded wounds fester, blood and feces everywhere, flies and mosquitoes fly wildly, in this situation, even if it is a minor injury to the here will be infected and die, except for a few Jianghu Langzhong, there is simply not enough doctor reserves to take care of the wounded.

The military prostitute camp is also a mess, there are women's bodies thrown out every day, there are military prostitutes is not a surprising thing, the army in the feudal era will have such a setting, even if the army is not an exception, most of these military prostitutes come from the families of captured Ming officials, as well as women captured after the defeat of the Ming army.

There are also a lot of other problems, such as corruption by the chief officials, poor repair of vehicles, damage and decay of food, and so on......

Thinking of these, Li Yan was big for a while, but he quickly adjusted his mentality, and sooner or later he had to face it, so let's start with the most basic first, and then realize logistics integration, we can't let logistics go their own way, right? That's a huge waste.

So as soon as he entered the military tent at night, he ordered someone to hold a candle, and by the faint light, Li Yan immediately picked up his pen and began to write a book for Li Zicheng.

After holding the candle, he noticed that the soldier in front of him was looking at him in surprise.

"What's wrong? Something on my face? Li Yan looked at the surprised soldier and asked, and then reached out and wiped it on his face to make sure that there were no stains on his face.

"Nope." The pro-soldier immediately shook his head and denied it.

"Then why are you staring at me? Don't you have nothing to do? If there is nothing to do, inspect the military tent and see if they are settled? Li Yan said impatiently, even if he wanted to bow his head and write a note.

When the soldier heard this, he said, "Before, you were the eunuch who caused me to suffer twenty military sticks. ”

Li Yan raised his head at this time, looked at the man in front of him, looked like a martial artist, and saw that he was also a battle-hardened character, so he immediately put down his pen and laughed: "I heard that Chuang Wang Staff scolded his own soldiers, it was you?" ”

"Yes, it's me" The soldier nodded heavily, but his eyes were still looking at Li Yan directly.

"It's a good thing to break the king's law and not show favoritism, what's the matter, do you want to ask me for an explanation?" Li Yan's eyes narrowed, and he tentatively became probed.

But he didn't panic in his heart, if this Qiu Ba really wanted to be rough with him, he wouldn't wait until this time, maybe he wanted some benefits, and see what he had in mind.

Unexpectedly, the pro-soldier shook his head vigorously and said: "At first, I was a role like Qin Hui, but today, looking at your performance at the banquet, you have the same bearing as a father, and I admire you!" ”

The soldiers also thought that Li Yan was a "traitor" at first, after all, what is it that is not a traitor if he arsoned with the enemy without permission? Moreover, the commander of the former battalion said bad things about Li Yan every day, and it was normal to be biased.

Unexpectedly, in the face of Li Zijing's wooing today, Li Yan sternly refused, especially Li Yan's righteous reprimand of Li Zijing, who did not care about the life and death of the front-line soldiers, and only cared about their own pleasure, which deeply pierced his heart.

That's right, in the camp, the gap between the officers and soldiers is not too big, after all, there is Li Zicheng to lead by example, but it does not mean that there is no gap, the main generals can always enjoy the material and wine and women first, and they are also worthy of eating some leftovers, going to the military prostitute camp to play with those women that the generals are tired of.

Now, there is actually a big man who jumped out to "help them" speak, and from this point on, he admires Li Yan for being a man.

Li Yan was quite surprised that this pro-soldier would say such a thing, so he asked with a smile, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Zhang Hong" The pro-soldier was not hypocritical, and immediately responded with a fist.

"I remember you Zhang Hong, this time to rectify the camp, it is inevitable that I will bother you to come with me" Li Yan nodded and said to Zhang Hong solemnly.

"Don't worry, I'll say to you today, and I'll protect you!" Zhang Hong patted his chest as if he was assuring.

Li Yan was quite surprised to gain Zhang Hong's loyalty, but in fact, he couldn't talk about loyalty, after all, Li Zicheng's military order also asked Zhang Hong to protect Li Yan, but compared to his previous reluctance, Zhang Hong also agreed with Li Yan in his heart.

After greeting Zhang Hong a few more words, Li Yan let him leave, this person is also very interesting, the young man defected, relying on a brave martial arts to become Li Zicheng's personal soldier, the most commendable thing is that he is actually rough and fluent, with a little tempering, it will be no problem to be a pioneer outside.

As a member of the camp, Li Yan naturally doesn't mind cultivating some talents, Zhang Hong is a good person, this time with a lot of experience, he will definitely be able to use it in the future, Li Yan thought to himself.

After having an understanding and decision about Zhang Hong, Li Yan began to be busy with his own affairs, with the flickering candle flame, Li Yan considered every word, and wrote on the letterhead what he saw and heard in the back camp and his own thoughts, because this matter was very wide-ranging, Li Yan did not stay overnight, but immediately called Wang Jinbao after writing, and asked him to quickly report to the king and explain the current situation in the back camp.

Li Zicheng read Li Yan's letter as soon as he received it, and Li Yan laid out the situation of the entire rear camp in the letterhead, and analyzed the possible impact of the chaos in the rear camp.

If Li Zicheng is not very keen on grasping the details, then he is very concerned about the grain and grass in the rear camp, but it is impossible for the commander who leads the troops not to pay attention to the grain and grass.

The situation in the rear camp was so bad that he never expected it.

So early the next morning, he gathered all the commanders of the front battalion and the rear battalion, and prepared to start working on the issue of rearing up the battalion raised by Li Yan.

Originally, he also summoned Li Yan, but he learned that Li Yan had gone to the military prostitute camp to inspect early, and no one could be found, so he had to let Li Zijing and others come to the military first.

Grain and grass are rarely able to enter the military council, and any decision is just a notice, and today it is unprecedented to convene them for military discussion, but I am afraid that it will not be a good thing, this point, Li Zijing knows in his heart, as for the source, it is naturally the plague god surnamed Li!

Sure enough, Li Zichengfu scolded Li Zijing at the beginning, scolded him for nothing, and put all the problems of Li Yan against the rear camp, and even dismissed Li Zijing from his official position and let him go to the gang to be a gangster.

Li Zijing's reaction was shocking, after all, what Li Zicheng said was the truth, and he couldn't quibble, so he could only stand trembling below and bear Li Zicheng's anger, and when Li Zicheng wanted to remove him from office, he knelt down and kowtowed to forgiveness.

"If you want to kowtow, you will die here!" Li Zicheng scolded angrily, he was very annoyed with this uncompetitive younger brother, maybe he would be tolerant of other generals, and he would never be soft on his family.

Seeing that Li Zijing's forehead was bruised, the good old man Gu Junen "hurriedly" stood up and arched his hand: "King Chuang, there is something wrong with Manager Li, but the back camp is so big, there is so much grain and grass, and it is really difficult to manage comprehensively, from the perspective of his subordinates, it is still his subordinates who do not do things properly, although Manager Li is negligent, he is not so guilty......

When Gu Junen said this, he gave Li Zicheng a step down, and Li Zicheng snorted coldly and said, "Okay, I can't even manage my subordinates, it's really a waste!" If it weren't for the fact that you have followed me for many years to fight in the north and south, I would definitely not spare you this time! ”

"Xie Er.... Xie Chuangwang! Li Zicheng has never liked to talk about family affection in the barracks, Li Zijing almost exited the word second brother, but fortunately stopped it in time, otherwise it would inevitably be dozens of military staffs.

"Go and get thirty staffs, and then go and discipline you! If there is any more retribution, I will definitely remove you from your position! Li Zicheng glared at Li Zijing and said.

Li Zijing knew that Li Zicheng was letting him go when he said this, so he hurriedly responded again and again, and stupidly withdrew from the military tent to receive the punishment.

Cleaning up Li Zijing can be regarded as a statement of Li Zicheng's support for Li Yan, so as to teach these people to know that Li Yan has not fallen out of favor, although he beats him, don't move his mind, everyone is a smart person, don't do ugly things.

After dealing with this matter, Li Zicheng began to put forward Li Yan's plan: "You have also seen it, the chaos in the rear camp is by no means a blessing for our army, this time we want to enter Henan, and we are doing a first-class major event, if the logistics are not done well, it is difficult to move an inch in Henan, Li Yan said to me that if you want to figure out the logistics, then you have to unify the logistics, and if the logistics is not unified, it will be a mess of bad debts!" I think what Li Yan said is very right, just see what you think! ”

Breaking into the camp to discuss issues has always been very straightforward, and there is no need to foreshadow anything, anyway, just throw off the point of view and be done.

As soon as Li Zicheng's voice fell, Wang Wenyao took the lead in speaking out against the night: "Hold the plate, we don't disagree with this, but when we broke up, we were engaged in logistics at home, and now we have to do it together, I'm afraid that there are too many involved, and it's not as good as now!" ”

"Yes, what's more, at the beginning, when we were unified in logistics, we didn't manage it well, we did it separately, and we didn't starve to death, and the surname Li said that the unified logistics can be figured out, who knows if it's a big deal? I don't think it's better to waste that matter, and concentrate on fighting the battle well! Liu Rukui then also expressed his opinion.

Li Zicheng patiently listened to their opinions, nodded his head in agreement and respect, and when they finished speaking, Li Zicheng said slowly: "I am clear about your worries, but what Li Yan said is also reasonable, we have been traveling all over the world for many years, and it has always been difficult to make achievements, and I have been thinking about why I ...... these days."

Hearing Li Zicheng's words, all the generals stared at Li Zicheng, who was "heart-to-heart", wanting to see what Li Zicheng wanted to say.

"Today, I finally figured out why, we are all rough people, there are no plans and strategies, compared to these readers with twists and turns in their stomachs, there are many scholars in the imperial court, so we are pressed to fight, and now we have some scholars in the army, and we can also do some novel methods, but we are worried about this, if we go on like this, I am afraid that we will have to enter Yufu Mountain a few times?!" Li Zicheng said unhurriedly, but his words were full of heartache.

"If we don't change anything, I think sooner or later we will be like King Gao, and we will have to enter the capital to let that Chongzhen child chop up!" Li Zicheng stared at all the generals and said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, all the generals fell into deep thought.

The old method has been tried for more than ten years, but it has proved useless, and now if they try for more than ten years, will they still have this time? Do you really want to try a new method?
