Unparalleled Concubine

"Let's take a look at the left battalion of the Forbidden Army."

"Hou Jingde also has eight Zhechong mansions. In the less than a month since he took over Zuoying, Zuoying's Zhechong captain has changed five, more than half!"

As he spoke, Li Xin glanced at the four Central Guards.

"Even the Central Guard of the Left Camp has been replaced."

Li Xin showed a smile on his face: "All of you here are military officers of at least the fourth rank, and you should have heard a little about the affairs of the court. You think, which one is more important in the court, this general or General Hou Jingde?" Heavy?"

This is an obvious question.

After Emperor Taikang got the throne, when he began to arrange seats and distribute fruit and fruit, Li Xin ranked first among Conglong heroes. Of course, outsiders don't know these internal things, but from some signs, we can see that clues.

Hou Jingde already had a marquis in his family, but this time when he divided the fruit, he just upgraded his family's title from lifelong to hereditary, and it was still just a three-waiting.

Li Xin and Ye Lin are both second-class marquises of fifteen hectares of land.

Ye Lin was able to have this marquis because the Ye family bet heavily at the beginning, while Li Xin was purely white at the beginning. He was granted the title of Marquis of Jing'an. Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that Li Xin's status in the new dynasty .

Even, part of the reason why Old Man Ye is so fond of Li Xin is because of this.

In addition, Li Xin can often enter and exit the palace, while Hou Jingde has only entered the palace once in the past half a year, so that one can tell the difference at a glance.

No one answered Li Xin's words.

Li Xin continued to smile and said: "No matter what, this general and General Hou are at least similar. He can directly dismiss most of the captain Zhechong for no reason, and this general can naturally do it. Do you understand?"

In fact, Li Xin's words are three points true and seven points false. Of course he can replace everyone directly, but he has no one under his command. He really let the eight people in Chen Guogong's mansion directly serve as the captain of Zhechong and the imperial army. The right battalion is about to become chaotic, and even cause big trouble.

Hou Jingde dared to do this because he had been a lieutenant general under Pei Jin for more than half a year before Li Xin. He was far more familiar with the affairs of the Forbidden Army than Li Xin. Even in the Forbidden Army, he already had Many cronies.

Everyone bowed their heads.

"The last general will wait...Understood!"

Li Xin smiled heartily.

"Brothers, it's good if you can understand the matter. Then this exchange, I will go down and do it immediately. The exchange will be completed within three days. I will write a letter to Your Majesty for reward."

Speaking of this, Jing'an Houyu said earnestly: "Everyone, everyone is His Majesty's soldier. Doing according to His Majesty's will will never be wrong. You should think about the pros and cons of it."

At the end, Li Xin added another sentence.

"After the rotation is completed, the Ministry of War will have a new batch of armor. I will have a lot of animals from the imperial court, and I will send them to the army. At that time, my brothers in the right battalion of the forbidden army can have a good meal. All the newly appointed Zhechong captains, it’s also good to get to know their respective Zhechong mansions.”

Han Fei said that the reason why the Ming Lord guides the ministers is because of the two handles.

What is two handles is the word punishment and morality.

Killing is called punishment, and celebrating rewards is called virtue.

To put it more plainly, it means a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other.

Although this sentence is the way of the king, it can be used anywhere. If you want others to listen to you, you must first make others fear you, but just being afraid of you is not enough. If you want others to listen to you If you listen to your words for a long time, you must let them benefit.

Rewards and punishments are clear.

In this regard, Li Xin has always done a good job. From the captain's battalion in Habayashi Guard to the right camp of Habayashi Guard, most people are obedient to him.

Now, this trick still works in the Forbidden Army.

These big bosses of the forbidden army stood up one after another, bent over and clasped fists at Li Xin.

"Thank you, General Lee."

Lord Jing'an smiled and waved his hand.

"It's all gone."

"Yes!"

..............................

After a while, only Li Xin and Zhao Jia were left in the handsome tent. This little Bailong who was born in Chen Guogong's mansion clapped his hands in admiration.

"Master Hou's method of controlling people is an eye-opener for me."

Li Xin laughed: "Brother Zhao's way of flattering seems a bit clumsy."

Xiaobai's face turned red, he lowered his head and said: "Master Hou is making fun of me, I'm not flattering Master Hou, I'm just telling the truth."

"Hou Ye can punish and reward with just a few words, which amazes me."

"That's because there are people above me."

Li Xin gave him a blank look.

"For 10,000+ people to eat a meal of meat and drink a meal of wine, at least a thousand animals are required, and I don't know how many jars of wine. These things are only available when His Majesty rewards the three armies. If it is someone else, how can it be so easy to come down? .”

Zhao Jia smiled and said, "I heard from my father-in-law that you, Lord Hou, are also very rich."

"I have money and it's mine."

Li Xin curled his lips: "I used to work in the Habayashi Guard, and there were so many people under my command. I could still win people's hearts with my own money. Now I have more than a hundred thousand people under my command. If I treat them to a meal, maybe I will give them away. The Hou Mansion is sold!"

Zhao Jia smiled slightly, but did not continue to answer.

Li Xin sat down, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "I read the thing that Brother Zhao wrote yesterday carefully, and it was very well written. Middle and low-level generals, we need to promote some suitable people to be captains, so that the middle-level is controlled, even if those captains are thoughtful, they dare not say more."

Zhao Jia took a deep look at Li Xin, then slowly lowered his head: "What Hou Ye said is that in the next few days, I will go to Chang Shi's place for a while."

"This is not necessary."

Li Xin said with a smile: "Starting tomorrow, you will patrol the camp with me to check whether those people have been replaced. Let's go through the eight zhechong mansions. Brother Zhao just give me another list."

Zhao smiled.

"As ordered."

Chapter 427

Time turns.

A month passed in a blink of an eye, and the time came to the winter of the first year of Taikang, that is, October.

Li Xin, who was far away in the imperial army, had already put on his robe, and Zhao Jia, who was following behind him, was even more exaggerated. He had already put on a thick cotton coat and wrapped himself tightly in it.

This guy's body is far inferior to that of Li Xin who stands on the fist every day.
