Chapter 626: Tiger's Mouth (1)

To sum up, Li Chengdong once again took real power, which can be said to be expected by the people and the people's aspirations, and soon unified the people's hearts.

The cohesion of the Qing army is far from being comparable to before.

After the chaos, the decision can be made.

This is true!

......

Second, the funeral is mourned.

Sent a powerful cronie of no low status as an envoy, and led 300 men and horses to transport the coffin of the noble commander back to the court.

and at the same time asked for a new commander to be sent as soon as possible.

After all, a country cannot be left without a master for a day, and an army cannot be without a commander for a day.

Li Chengdong's move is really a policy of "retreating as advance".

Compared with taking the initiative to ask for officials, this strategy can be described as extremely clever!

Because, the hundreds of thousands of troops are currently in the hands of the extremely capable him, and by the time the new commander arrives, he will definitely be managed into an iron bucket.

Does this make the new commander-in-chief so self-contained?

If the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief do not get along harmoniously, there will inevitably be internal friction.

Moreover, it will also make Li Chengdong's heart cold.

If this leads to a mutiny, the Qing court wants to quell the rebellion, which is beyond the reach of the whip.

Therefore, it is better to push the boat down the river and let Li Chengdong return to the throne and make meritorious contributions to his crimes.

With its ability, wouldn't it be a great blessing if it could be brave after being ashamed?

......

Third, re-encamp.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside.

After the first order is issued, the morale of the soldiers will be stable and their morale will rise. But if even camping is a problem, how can you go all out against the enemy?

Therefore, it is inevitable to build barracks and restore order in the barracks.

Li Chengdong ordered the former army commander-in-chief who he admired to be fully responsible for this work. Time limit for completion, within 10 days.

The left and right armies were all put into a state of combat readiness to prevent enemy attacks.

The commander of the rear army still sticks to the grain and grass and must not act rashly.

The above orders will be implemented immediately, and if you do not obey, you will be severely punished!

......

After receiving the order, the armies quickly launched their actions.

Among them, the former army commander performed the most prominently. With a vigorous and resolute style and full of enthusiasm, he expressed his determination to the new commander-in-chief.

After all, he had been a noble commander before. Moreover, the fact that so many barracks were burned down also contributed to their ineffective firefighting.

In addition, this is the first task given to him by the new commander after he takes office, and it must be completed beautifully.

The combination of three factors does not mean that the former army commander will not do his best.

......

Li Chengdong's move can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

It not only rebuilt the barracks, but also bought the hearts and minds of the people.

Let the aristocratic commander's family clearly know that the commander only looks at the ability and does not look at the faction. The reason why the former army commander was reused was because his performance was acceptable when he opened up a fire isolation channel.

Li Chengdong plans to gradually show his employment principle of "those who are capable, those who are mediocre, and those who are mediocre" in the next few days.

The rebuilding of the barracks is just the beginning.

......

Li Chengdong's principle of employing people is extremely insightful and very fair.

It is conceivable that after the promotion, it will inevitably win the hearts of the people.

The principle of employing people "the capable go up, the mediocre let go, and the mediocre go down" combined with the complicated reality of the relationship between Li Chengdong's troops, specifically, is:

Those with outstanding abilities, regardless of past grievances, will definitely be reused.

Those with mediocre abilities, even if they have a close relationship with themselves, can only give way to others.

Those who are mediocre in ability, regardless of their relationship with themselves, must be stripped of power.

Once this principle of employing people is smoothly implemented, it will inevitably form a good situation of healthy competition.

......

Fourth, the three armed forces should be rehearsed.

As soon as the camp was restored to its original state, it immediately began training for the upcoming battle.

After all, 300,000 reinforcements have arrived, and the time is not short.

Except for a brief confrontation with the anti-Qing rebels led by the noble commander of 50,000 horses at the time of his arrival, the rest of the time was focused on dealing with waves of assassins.

Not only did he fail to confront the enemy head-on, but he wore himself out. And it will take another ten days to restore the camp.

In this way, the good time of the past two months has been wasted.

If you don't seek change, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to the Qing court.

......

After the successful beheading of the anti-Qing rebels, the possibility of reaching an established agreement with Li Chengdong is almost 100 percent.

Because Li Chengdong was a little moved before.

Now, seeing with his own eyes the powerful assassination ability of the anti-Qing rebels, he will naturally be touched.

After all, he was also afraid of decapitation.

Moreover, Li Chengdong knows very well: once the anti-Qing rebels decide to behead, he will also be unable to resist.

......

Since he had a negotiation with Chen Jinnan and the other five, Li Chengdong, who has been exposed, knows that he can no longer create multiple puppets to confuse the public as before.

Because, even if his martial arts are average, he also knows the ability of martial arts masters: arguing and fixing. Tactics like this are absolutely invisible.

In particular, under the situation that there is a huge gap in the martial arts of the two sides, it is easy to do this.

Therefore, he did not dare to take risks.

Don't dare to risk your own life.

He was more than happy to reach a previous agreement with the Anti-Qing Rebels.

Therefore, as far as the Qing Righteous Army is concerned, Li Chengdong's successful ascension to the throne is also "Saiong lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing?"

......

After Li Chengdong became the commander-in-chief, there is no doubt that his ability to command troops is much stronger than that of the aristocratic commander, and he is actually a great enemy of the anti-Qing rebel army.

But if an agreement can be reached, Hua Feng is still happy to hear it.

After all, without the threat of hundreds of artillery, no matter how many troops and combat power the Qing army is, Li Chengdong will be brilliant with his troops, and the anti-Qing righteous army will have a powerful Five Elements Great Array, and thousands of masters with high martial arts, so what is there to fear?

Therefore, as far as the Qing Righteous Army is concerned, Li Chengdong's successful ascension to the throne is also "Saiong lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing?"

......

The development of events was as Hua Feng expected.

According to the information obtained from the investigation, the Qing army was taking care of itself, how could it be possible to immediately call for a battle?

With 30% of the troops, the rebuilding of the barracks is in full swing.

With 30% of the troops, outside the garrison camp, they are ready to fight at any time.

Hold on to grain and grass with 20% of the troops.

The remaining 20 percent of the force is used for mobility.

Li Chengdong distributed the soldiers in his hands in this way, which made Hua Feng very impressed.

Because its biggest feature is that it can be attacked and defended, and it does not seek merit, but seeks no fault.

The talent of the famous handsome is fully revealed!

......

If Li Chengdong's opponent was not Hua Feng, the corresponding strategy he chose was of course extremely appropriate.

It's a pity that what he met was Hua Feng, Hua Feng who didn't make a move according to common sense.

It is said that the anti-Qing righteous army should pay close attention to the practice of the Five Elements Great Array at this time.

At the same time, personnel were sent to negotiate again.

Create conditions for the upcoming confrontation between the two armies.

But Hua Feng obviously has more than that.

Of course, the drill of the Five Elements Great Array must be carried out as soon as possible.

Negotiations, of course, must also be carried out simultaneously.

But Hua Feng, who often does things unexpectedly, has more important things to do, and that is robbery!

robbed the Qing army of grain and grass......
