Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 527

As soon as Li Chaosheng said this, Gu Yanwu fell silent, and Huang Zongxi also fell silent. Li Chaosheng looked at the two of them and said, "I know you all think you are well-educated, but your knowledge is only on paper. How to serve the people, how to do it." You don’t know anything about how to develop social productive forces and how to effectively solve the problems of ordinary people’s lives.”

"You are like Zhao Kuo in the Warring States Period. Maybe you can point out the country on paper, write passionately, and speak clearly and logically, but now you are given one or two counties after disasters. You can't even do disaster relief. You think you can write one Two articles, shouting a few slogans can save the country and the people. No, the common people are not stupid. They know better than anyone who treats them well and who treats them badly. Don’t treat the common people as fools, because they are the ones. The smartest man in the world."

"If you don't treat them sincerely, they won't take you seriously. That's why there is a saying that you treat the people like pigs and dogs, and the people treat you like a thief."

"Remember, if you want to serve the people, you don't sit in the big tent of the Chinese army, talking and laughing at the wind, waving your hands to wipe out the enemy, but you eat and sleep in the open, suffer from hunger, fight with the enemy with your own life, and protect the people behind you." people and relatives."

"It's not like you Jiangnan scholars, who write a few sour poems and win a few praises from the laughing girls in the boat, and then get complacent and useless. Remember, if you want to do a few things that the common people applaud, you should You must honestly suppress your show off emotions, do some down-to-earth things, see what their world looks like from the perspective of ordinary people, and put yourself in their shoes to think about how to do these things .”

Li Chaosheng watched the two say it first, but the two were speechless to refute after hearing it. If someone told them like this, they would definitely have a hundred sentences waiting, even if the opponent had a high authority, they would not be afraid , but in front of them is the Lantian County Lord, a man who has indeed done the above.

This makes it impossible for them to refute. People have done it, and teaching you lessons is different from empty talk.

Li Chaosheng looked at the two of them and said: "I don't know what you are talking about in Lantian this time. You are here to gain fame and fame. I want to meet me, the Lantian county lord, so that I can go back and brag about how I can refute Lantian Li Chaosheng's fame for himself."

"I still really want to come to Lantian to do some practical things for the common people. If it is the former, you can leave, and I will not send it far away, but if you are sincere and want to come to Lantian to do some practical things for the common people, I can show you stage."

Li Chaosheng looked at the two, saw that the two did not answer, and did not force them to give an answer. Instead, he glanced at Gu Zi, and Gu Zi took out a series of approval slips from the cabinet beside him, with the name of the county official on it. big seal.

Li Chaosheng looked at the two of them at this moment and said: "You can take these two referrals and go to Lantian College to take a political class for a period of time to learn how to govern the people. In the spring of next year, you have almost learned it, and you can go with General Li Dingguo A trip to Gansu, which will soon be assigned to Lantian, the two of you can serve as two accompanying village chiefs to help Lantian accept the refugees there, help them rebuild their homes, and bring them to live a good life again."

After Li Chaosheng finished speaking, he looked at the two of them, waiting for their choice. The two looked at each other. Huang Zongxi decisively picked up a recommendation letter on the table, but Gu Yanwu didn't take it, but looked at Li Chaosheng and said: "When we go to disaster relief, what kind of support can we get, and to what extent should we do it?"

Gu Yanwu is a practical man, he does things straightforwardly, you should tell us how far we are going to go.

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Yanwu and said: "2 taels of silver, [-] dans of grain, help the two pieces of land allocated to you by the local area, help the local people build ditches, and prepare for spring sowing, when they harvest summer grain and autumn grain , Two seasons of food, completely solved the hunger worries of the local people, you can come back, and then we can really have a good talk."

"You mean we are still qualified to talk to you now?"

Gu Yanwu looked at Li Chaosheng and asked, Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "Zhao Kuo, who talks about soldiers on paper, is he qualified to talk with Bai Qi who grew up from a small soldier? Go and wait until you really learn how to govern the people, and then we will come back to talk, then Only then can we talk about something real."

Li Chaosheng looked at the two of them, Gu Yanwu looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "Li Xianzun, you seem to have objected to us since we first came in, can you tell me why?"

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Because you have the stench of Jiangnan scholars, the kind of selfish stench who only knows empty talk but doesn't know what the people think. I could smell it, it really stinks against the wind."

"you……"

Gu Yanwu trembled angrily when he heard this, Li Chaosheng stood up and said: "Do you want to scold me, do you want to refute me, is it uncomfortable, but you can't refute me now, because I have the right to speak , you didn’t, wait until you really manage the people in Gansu, if you still think I’m right, then you can come and scold me, I won’t answer back, so now you can talk to me again If you have the opportunity, go to the academy and study hard.”

"Whoosh..."

Gu Yanwu was furious, at this time Huang Zongxi saw his old friend getting so angry, he quickly grabbed the letter of recommendation on the table, cupped his hands at Li Chaosheng and said, "Master, I will retire."

After finishing speaking, he pulled Gu Yanwu and left. Gu Yanwu seemed to want to say something, but Huang Zongxi stopped him and said, "Go out and talk, go out and talk."

After talking, the two of them walked out of Li Chaosheng's room.

Seeing the two go out, Gu Zi said from the side: "Master Xian, did you treat them too harshly just now? I remember you used to be polite when you met other great scholars?"

Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng and asked, Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "They are different from those rotten Confucians. These are two rough jades that can be used to great advantage. For those old Confucian scholars who only know how to study Confucianism, they can be treated with courtesy. Anyway, in the future That is to say, if they are given a leisurely position, they will never have real power in their lifetime, so they can be treated more generously and benevolently, whatever is fine, it doesn’t matter.”

"However, Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi are both talents who are worthy of great use. These two people must be beaten to wash away the impetuousness left by the Jiangnan scholars. Only in this way can they radiate their vitality and become our blue fields. useful talents."

After hearing this, Gu Zi said: "Understood, you should be stricter with your own people, and more tolerant with outsiders, right?"

Li Chaosheng glanced at Gu Zi and said, "You kid is getting smarter and smarter, that's all right, let's dismiss these two guys, let's get down to business, how is Li Dingguo going?"

After hearing this, Guzi said: "The army has already withdrawn to Huacheng, and after two days, they will return to Lantian with the cattle, sheep, furs, herbs and other materials that Guihuacheng turned over this time. It has been drawn up, the military department and the political department have already stamped their official seals, and when Li Dingguo comes back, he can prepare the plan to recover Ningxia and Gansu."

Li Chaosheng hummed lightly when he heard this. :"Ok."

Thinking about it.

In the spring of next year, the whole of Ming Dynasty will be in chaos. Li Zicheng can no longer restrain himself, and after Sun Chuanting is transferred from Hubei, Zhang Xianzhong can't help but prepare to make trouble. At that time, Chongzhen was busy fighting fires everywhere, so he had no time to care about himself. He just took the opportunity to go west and took back most of Ningxia and Gansu. You must know that although there is Guizhou in the thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty, there is still a large part of Gansu. The areas are all under the control of ethnic minorities, such as Laohuihui, who are the occupants of this land.

Further to the west, Us is hidden. There is a large piece of land there, but it is not within the territory of Ming Dynasty. Li Chaosheng is not allowed. What Li Chaosheng took is the map of Huaxia. Continue to expand outward, only larger than this map, absolutely not smaller than this map.

That's why Li Chaosheng was planning to set up the Northwest Legion, and the conquest of Li Dingguo was also for the service of the Northwest. After all, in the civil war, Li Chaolong, Shi Dalei, Li Chaohu, and Li Dezhen were enough legions, but the weakness of these legions is obvious, that is, they are not very powerful. They are good at foreign wars. If it is for protection, these legions are more than enough. Of course, this may be a bit biased. For example, Li Chaohu's army is still good in field combat, and Shi Dalei's army is not bad.

Not to mention Li Chaolong's army, this is a defensive army, which was reserved by Li Chaosheng to protect his hometown. Although this army is not good for field battles, in terms of its defensive power, it can be regarded as the best among all major army. People still have their own characteristics. First, as the general who is closest to Li Chaosheng in Lantian, his loyalty is unquestionable, so no one can shake his military status.

Second, Li Chaolong himself was born as an old farmer, so his personality is full of old farmer thoughts, and he fights steadily, just like what Li Chaosheng said, how he fights, strictly implements Li Chaosheng's orders, and fights with a word of prudence , Even if you don't make meritorious deeds, you are absolutely not allowed to make mistakes.

Because of this character, Li Chaosheng thinks that Li Chaolong is the most defensive existence. He can resist the temptation of military exploits and not rush forward. Don't even think about taking the city of Lantian with your own army, but since ancient times, there are very few famous generals who can resist all kinds of provocations and temptations from the opposite side.

Sima Yi is one of them, even if Zhuge Liang took out a set of women's clothing and sent it to Sima Yi, mocking Sima Yi that you are an old woman, Sima Yi can bear such a shame and humiliation, and in the end Zhuge Liang was consumed alive. Motto too.

And Li Chaolong has a little bit of Sima Yi's meaning. Among the many generals, maybe because of his transcendent status, maybe because of his character, he never fights or grabs, works steadily, and his army training has never fallen behind. Li Chaohu's front-line troops are good, so as long as he fights steadily and does not act recklessly, and when he has a good location, even if Lan Tian's own army is used to attack him, he may not be able to attack him.

Therefore, the future plan of the Lantian Army is that the current four masters in Lantian will all expand into an army. When it is necessary to unify the world, Li Chaolong's army will guard the center and protect Lantian. Li Chaohu's army will attack the northeast and mainly resist Jiannu. , Shi Dalei's army will deal with the peasant army and use it to wrestle with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

In the end, Li Dingguo's army continued to fight westward, regaining the ethnic minorities, conquering Uzang, and also going westward to expand a huge territory for themselves. Li Chaosheng once told Li Dingguo that sealing wolves and living in Xuxu is by no means the end, we have to fight Go to Kazakhstan, go to Kyrgyzstan, if possible, it is best to lay down a place with oil for your descendants, so that your descendants can also become local tyrants who can use oil.

Don't think that oil is not easy to use now. You must know that the steam engine has been broken by Song Yingxing's team. Not impossible.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng has almost completed the military plan in his plan, and the next step is to implement it.

Li Chaosheng took a look at the planning book handed over by Guzi. It was about Li Dingguo's arrangement after returning to Lantian. The Northwest Cavalry First Regiment was changed to the Northwest Mixed First Brigade. For the expansion of soldiers, soldiers can be selected from the Daogouyu combat readiness base.

After replenishing the soldiers, they will be trained in Daogouyu for two months. During these two months, the arsenal will prepare weapons and equipment for the soldiers. When the next spring begins, they will lead the troops and set off directly to the northwest.

Students from the School of Political Affairs in Lantian also followed them. The high-achieving students of these colleges would follow behind the army, recruit refugees, restore local economic construction, help the common people repair ditches, and at the same time plant summer grain and harvest two seasons of grain to ensure The local refugees can't starve to death, that's right, that's what Gu Yanwu and the others need to do.

When everything is done, the territory of Lantian can be expanded to the whole of Gansu and other places.

Li Chaosheng looked at the plan, nodded, stamped his county seal, and agreed with the results of the discussions between the military department and the political department. Is it time to come?"

After hearing this, Gu Zi said: "I guess it will take three more days, and it is said that we have already reached the border of Henan."

"Well, send someone to protect you along the way."

"Yes."

Gu Zi nodded, followed by Gu Zi and said: "Master, the people we sent to Yunnan have returned. They met Mu Tianbo, the little prince of the Mu Palace, his mother Ruan Shi, and his uncle Ruan Qiming. They discussed our Yunnan interests. communicate with."

"Oh, what's the result?"

Li Chaosheng immediately asked with interest.
