Chapter 501 Li Chaosheng: How can a general not be greedy

Late at night, Lantian County Zun Study Room.

It is rare for Li Chaosheng to work overtime. As the leader of Lantian, although Li Chaosheng's work schedule is very full, Li Chaosheng strictly abides by the eight-hour working hours a day. Chaosheng's last stubbornness.

Li Chaosheng is now gradually delegating power. Some small matters can be handled by the ministers. If he is really undecided, Li Chaosheng will take action. Li Chaosheng does not want to turn himself into the emperor of a model worker like Zhu Chongba or Yongzheng. .

A model worker emperor is not a good thing, it can only mean that the emperor has a strong desire to control, and he does not want to borrow the hands of others for anything, and must do everything by himself.

This is like the big bosses of some companies. A common problem of these big bosses is that they are not willing to delegate power. Even if the company buys a roll of toilet paper, he has to ask about it before reimbursement.

Such a boss cannot be said to be bad, but the structure is not big enough. If it is a small company, there are only a few people in the company, so it is understandable to ask about this kind of thing, but if it is a huge group, a group has hundreds or even thousands of people , such a boss still does everything by himself, it can only be said that this boss is born to work hard.

It's like Lao Zhu, who used Hu Weiyong's excuse to abolish the prime minister system. From then on, he completed the work of the three provinces and six ministries by himself. He really did everything by himself, a model worker among model workers.

Then his son Zhu Di is okay, his body is strong, and he can complete more than half of his father's workload, and then the health of the old Zhu family emperor is not as good as the previous generation. There is no way, the cabinet, an organization that replaces the prime minister, was born. Cannot hold power alone.

This is almost the case with Yongzheng. After succeeding to the throne, Lao Ba still has a few princes' henchmen all over the court. He also has no one to use, so he can only exchange blood a little bit. This is all forced and helpless.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng, the two model worker emperors, did not take them as examples. Leaders must properly delegate power, otherwise the subordinates will never be able to practice.

Li Chaosheng is gradually delegating power. Li Chaosheng is willing to let the people in the political department study and deal with many political and people's livelihood matters, while Li Chaosheng has a firm grasp of the military.

The great man told us that power grows out of the barrel of a gun, as long as the Lantian army is 100% loyal to Li Chaosheng, and other people want to shake Li Chaosheng's position, that is nonsense.

The military power must never be let go, and the reason for Li Chaosheng to work overtime these days is also very simple. It is mainly due to two parts. Desperately blocking the hole, while Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian watched from the sidelines, it was like a lake of mud over there.

If Li Chaosheng hadn't supported Lu Xiangsheng with a large number of firearms in time, and the combat effectiveness of Lu Xiangsheng's army had soared, Shandong is estimated to be in ruins now.

This is one, and the other is Li Zicheng, the best courier in Ming Dynasty who is still restless. He quietly gathered people in Shanxi, and now he is slowly infiltrating into Henan, and according to reports, the rain in Henan this year is exceptionally heavy. Many, I am afraid that the Yellow River will be uneasy during the flood season. …

I have to say that Li Zicheng deserves to be the courier who overthrew Daming. He has a sensitive nose. Knowing that there is a lot of rain this year, he immediately realized that there may be floods in Henan this year. Now that Ming is facing internal and external troubles, they must not be able to rescue the floods in Henan. If there is no way to rescue the disaster, there will be more victims, and with the victims, Li Zicheng has a chance to make a comeback.

Thinking of this, Li Chaosheng smiled and said, this is a mouse on a cruise ship, always aware of the sinking of the cruise ship before others.

Wait, there is a problem with this sentence. The rats are aware of the sinking of the cruise ship before people. Is it possible that the cruise ship is sunk by the rats?

Li Chaosheng thought, feeling that this might not be small.

Just when Li Chaosheng was thinking wildly, Gu Zi came in from outside and said, "Master Xian, my sister-in-law sent someone to bring you the pork rib soup. I heard that you didn't eat at night, I'm afraid you will be hungry."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng rubbed his hands and said, "Oh, it's because your sister-in-law knows how to hurt people, and I'm still hungry."

As Li Chaosheng said, he took the food box, opened it, and took out a large bowl of pork rib soup with two white masks in it, Li Chaosheng looked at Guzi and said, "Have you eaten it?
Gu Zi smiled and said, "I just took a sip in the cafeteria. By the way, here are a few pieces of information, Mr. County, would you like to have a look at it now?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said, "Oh, what information?"

Gu Zi said: "You have a drink first, the county lord, and I will read it to you."

Li Chaosheng nodded when he heard the words, drinking soup and listening to Gu Zi's information: "This is the information from Shandong's intelligence department, saying that Shandong was attacked by Tartars, and the people suffered heavy casualties, but the court did nothing, and there were even court soldiers. People are being robbed."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng frowned slightly and asked, "Whose soldier?"

After hearing this, Gu Zi said: "The soldiers under Yang Sichang's command, Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers are very strict."

Li Chaosheng didn't speak, just took a bite of the white flour bun, his eyes became very gloomy, and he followed Gu Zi and said: "This is Lu Xiangsheng's information. Lu Xiangsheng said that their army was fighting against the Tartars in Shandong very hard, and their firearms were exhausted." Seriously, I hope the county lord can support them with a batch of weapons."

Li Chaosheng frowned slightly when he heard the words: "Our weapons and equipment were not created out of thin air, why should we support them for nothing?"

Gu Zi said: "It is also said in the intelligence that Lu Xiangsheng's messenger told our intelligence agent that we don't take our weapons and equipment for nothing, and Lu Xiangsheng lent us Lantian. When the weapons arrive, he Lu Xiangsheng is willing to pay the IOU."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng took a sip of soup, thought for a while, and said, "Oh, it's not easy for Lu Xiangsheng. A group of pig teammates, he and Sun Chuanting are really fighting against the Tartars, so that the arsenal will step up production, and then support Lu Xiangsheng with [-] pieces." Hand grenades, ten thousand catties of gunpowder."

"Yes."

Gu Zi said immediately, and after hearing this, Li Chaosheng suddenly said again: "By the way, don't forget to ask Lu Xiang to sign the IOU."

After hearing this, Gu Zi said: "County Honor, Lu Xiangsheng made his own family completely empty in order to collect military funds, where is there still money for us, and signing the IOU is also a free sign."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said, "Lu Xiangsheng is a capable person. Even if he doesn't make it in the future, I just want him. If he really agrees, I will use this excuse to negotiate terms in the future." It’s easy to talk, and to be more straightforward, we can’t do business that loses money.”…

After Li Chaosheng said this, Gu Zi nodded his head half-understood, while Li Chaosheng continued to drink the pork rib soup.

Just then there was a knock on the door outside: "Report."

A report alarmed Li Chaosheng who was drinking soup, Li Chaosheng looked at the door and said, "Come in."

When the door opened, there was a personal guard holding an intelligence report in his hand: "This is the information just sent from the front line at Xifengkou."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said, "Oh, come on, show it to me."

Li Chaosheng didn't even drink the soup made by his beautiful daughter-in-law. At this moment, he stood up and took the information, read it carefully, and fell into deep thought.

The information was sent by Li Chaohu, but the signatures were Li Chaohu, Wang Guixiang, and Li Dingguo. This was obviously the information sent by the three of them after discussion.

The content of the intelligence report is about the situation on the frontline battlefield. In this battle, Lantian invested a total of more than 570 troops, and nearly 2000 people died in the battle. Among them, Wang Guixiang's cavalry brigade suffered the most casualties, and nearly 500 people died. And Li Dingguo's department also died nearly [-] people, with more than half of the casualties.

However, the results of the battle were quite fruitful. In this battle, more than [-] Tartars were eliminated, including Batulu Aobai, the number one Manchu Qing.

Obai's death in battle was beyond Li Chaosheng's expectation. After all, this man would have a pivotal position in the future history. Without him, would Kangxi's administration be easier?

But after thinking about it, Li Chaosheng laughed, Kangxi still kisses the ass of the government, with himself, the Tartars don't want to take control of the Central Plains, since they can't even live in the Central Plains, then why are they pro-government or not?

So it’s no big deal to kill an Oboi. Li Chaosheng thought about the harvest. He captured the most horses in this battle. Nearly 1000 horses were captured this time, of which [-] horses can be directly enlisted in the army and given to the cavalry as training horses. There are more than [-] wounded horses, and among them, if they are excellent horses, they can stay in Guihua City to breed horses.

If the variety is worse, it can be sold directly to the folks, planted, and it can still be done by pulling a horse-drawn cart, just don't waste it.

In addition to these war horses, there are a large number of weapons and armors. These are all high-quality iron materials, and some of the armors are still very good in workmanship. You can keep some of them as civil and military or decorations for appreciation. As for the others, you can give them directly. Go to the steel factory and return it to the furnace, and it will directly become the guns and bullets of Lantian.

These are good things that cannot be wasted. The only pity is that this war did not capture food, grass, and supplies. Old Aji moved very quickly and did things ruthlessly. The camp that stocked up a lot of logistics from the Qing Dynasty, he said he would burn it. Burned, the attack is quite vicious.

However, the camp was not without harvest. After the burning, Li Dingguo found a lot of unmelted gold and silver in it, which can be regarded as a small fortune. At present, all the money is registered in Eucalyptus and will be sent directly to Lantian for storage confiscated.

Of course, Li Chaosheng couldn't keep these people busy for nothing, and he would give a sum of silver dollars to the soldiers who had done meritorious service. These gold and silver could not be directly purchased in Lantian, and had to be exchanged for Lantian silver dollars.

These are the main situations reported in the intelligence report. After reading it, Li Chaosheng is still very satisfied with the results of this battle. With a swipe of his pen, he credited the soldiers, and the soldiers who died should be appeased and appeased. …

Finally, and most importantly, in terms of intelligence, the three of Li Chaohu hope that Li Dingguo can lead two thousand soldiers to stay at Xifengkou, and wait for the Tartars to retreat. Some of the hard-earned goods are left behind to cover their military expenses this time, and they are satisfied.

Li Chaosheng looked at the words above and smiled. These three guys are really greedy. What do they think of Tartar? Is it their cash machine?

I also want to bite the tartar and earn back the military expenses for this expedition, which is quite an idea.

Li Chaosheng thought about it and smiled.

Seeing that Li Chaosheng was smiling, Gu Zi asked, "What are you laughing at, the county lord?"

Li Chaosheng handed the military report to Gu Zi, and Gu Zi glanced at it and smiled: "What do you think of the county lord?"

Li Chaosheng sat down slowly and said, "They are very greedy."

After hearing this, Guzi didn't speak, looked at Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng followed with a smile and said: "But I like it, and I can't be greedy, but as a general of an army, I have to be greedy. A general is not greedy. If there is no greed, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and if the king is not greedy, there will be no eternal peace.”

After hearing this, Gu Zi smiled and said, "Master County, the greed of an official is enough for you to bear."

"Go, you will know how to talk to me badly. When I say greed, do you mean corruption? I mean big greed."

Gu Zi smiled and said, "Yes, what the county lord said is true."

Li Chaosheng rolled Gu Zi's eyes, and then said to Gu Zi: "Notify the military staff, come to the county government office immediately for a meeting, and conduct military deduction. I need a detailed plan tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Gu Zi responded, and immediately sent troops to inform the staff officers of the military department. It seems that these military staff officers will have a hard night tonight.

At this moment, Li Chaosheng stretched his waist and said to Guzi: "Go back and inform your sister-in-law, and say that today I will deal with the county government overnight, so I won't go back to live."

"Ah, Xian Zun, it is enough to have a staff officer from the military department here, and you don't have to stay up all night with him."

Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng and said, Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this, "That's not okay, I'm the chief military officer of Lantian, and I'm responsible for all the military operations in Lantian, I'm going to hold the meeting tonight, I'm leaving Well, it’s not appropriate to let other staff stay up late, by the way, Guzi, you should inform the cafeteria to prepare some supper at night, so you can deal with it when you’re hungry.”

"Yes."

After hearing this, Gu Zi immediately went to inform, Li Chaosheng took his notebook and walked to the military conference room, and soon all the senior staff officers in Lantian came to the military conference department.

"County Honor."

Everyone saluted Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "Everyone, sit down, we are going to hold a military meeting today. You already know the main topics of the meeting. Next, I will chair the meeting. You are in charge of the deduction. Try to come up with a plan tomorrow morning." A plan, passed on to the front line, and given to the soldiers on the front line, a safe and reliable plan with a high success rate, let's start now, Gu Zi pours tea."

After Li Chaosheng finished speaking, Gu Zi immediately brought the strong tea that had been brewed in advance to everyone. When everyone saw the strong tea, they knew that they were going to stay up all night, but seeing that Li Chaosheng was there, everyone had no complaints. Zun is with me, so what complaints do I have?

Thinking that the entire conference room had started a heated discussion, deduction, and large-scale military operations in Lantian needed to be deduced, and Li Chaosheng, as the referee, listened to everyone's opinions.

Li Chaosheng stayed up all night, and the next morning, everyone looked at Li Chaosheng with a panda in their eyes. Li Chaosheng said at this time: "Guzi, send a telegram to the front line, allowing Li Dingguo to lead 2000 people to ambush at Xifengkou. He can choose at will between Li Chao's tiger division and Wang Guixiang's cavalry."

"Yes."
