In fact, Li Qi was not able to meet up with Yue Fei and the others so soon. After all, he had brought a lot of medicinal materials here. However, because he heard that Yue Fei and the others had a smooth journey, they almost reached the edge of the Fuliang River. This Fuliang River can be described as
It is the hub area of Jiaozhi Kingdom, where Yue Fei will directly face the ruler of Jiaozhi.
As Zhao Jingyan said, Yue Fei and the others were not qualified to talk to the central ministers of Jiaozhi or even the king, so Li Qi could only lead his soldiers to speed up, go one step ahead, and rush to meet Yue Fei and the others.
Inside the big tent.
"The general will see the Privy Councilor at the end."
All the soldiers stood in the middle and saluted Li Qi.
Li Qi glanced around and saw that they all had proud looks on their faces, but they were silent.
Yue Fei and the others originally thought that Li Qi would praise them a few words, but Li Qi remained silent and began to murmur in their hearts, who caused this ghost to see trouble?
After a while, Li Qicai said: "You guys, the beatings were really good, and I was following you behind to wipe your butts. After all, I am also a first-class official. Do you think this is fair?"
All the soldiers were silent.
Li Qi slapped the table and said, "Answer me."
"outrageous."
All the soldiers instinctively said in unison, although they did not understand what Li Qi was talking about.
Zhao Jingyan almost laughed out loud as she watched. She didn't understand why these soldiers were so afraid of Li Qi. In fact, Li Qi was quite a good person. Compared with those generals who whipped soldiers at every turn, Li Qi was really
So much better.
This may be because "qingren" sees beauty in his eyes, but he doesn't know that Li Qi is a man who hides his sword in his smile and is elusive. This kind of person is the most terrifying.
Li Qi snorted and said, "Do you know what I am referring to?"
Yue Fei and others looked at each other, and then they all shook their heads.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "You just fight and fight. After the fighting is over, you don't care about anything. All the counties that you defeated are in a state of paralysis."
Niu Gao said: "Privy Envoy, you can't blame us for this. It was you who said that Jiaozhi should be destroyed as soon as possible, so we didn't take too much care."
Li Qi let out a laugh and said, "You have become so stubborn again. In the past, you only spoke against me in private. Now you dare to speak against me in front of so many people. You must have become swollen."
Niu Gao hurriedly lowered his head and clasped his fists and said: "The last general will not dare, and the last general will realize his crime."
Li Qi glared at Niu Gao fiercely and said: "I know you are aggrieved, but you also know that what I don't like the most is subordinates complaining about this and that all the time. When they are criticized, they should first be more obedient.
Think for yourself to see if you have really achieved perfection, instead of blindly looking for excuses to shirk it."
After a pause, he continued: "Yes, I ask you to try to destroy Jiaozhi before summer comes. You must step up the march for me. Otherwise, do you think you can still stand here? But this
It’s not the reason for you to leave a lot of mess to me. You can do your best as soon as possible, but you don’t think so. You only think about how to capture Shenglong Mansion. If you do this, you will not even be as good as those savages from the Jin Kingdom.
.
Don't be dissatisfied. Let me ask you, what did Wanyan Zongwang do after he captured Daming Mansion?"
Yue Fei seemed to understand a little bit and said: "He used the famous young man Nie Hao to move the people of the famous mansion to the country."
"Isn't this what it is?" Li Qi opened his hands and said, "We are not the only ones in the Song Dynasty who have villains like Nie Hao. There are also people like Jiaozhi. There is a ready-made example. Why don't you know how to learn from it?
I won’t say more. You won’t let the common people widen the road first. There is nothing wrong with building the road. Anyway, you have left soldiers there. You can find a few in those counties.
Officials who were greedy for life and feared death organized local people to build roads.
If you ask those officials to do other things, they will definitely not be able to do it well, but if you ask them to bully the people, they are all good at it, and they know their people best, so it is absolutely right to leave this matter to them. The most important thing is
What's more, we don't need to bear this infamy. When we go back, we can kill all these corrupt officials and win the favor of the local people. Don't tell me that you are all gentlemen, even those who benefit yourself at the expense of others.
Nothing can be done."
"....!"
Unrestrained!
It’s so unrestrained!
This was the first time Zhao Jingyan had seen such a military training person. How shameless a person must be to say this. Although she knew that many people did this, no one would say it so boldly.
But no one really thought of this.
It can also be seen from this that the Song Dynasty army seriously lacked experience in aggression.
Yue Fei thought that although this was a bit shameless, it was a real truth, because they wanted to regain Jiaozhi, not just massacre, so they had to control the people. They only thought of this level, so they
Leave some soldiers there to control the people. You are going to keep soldiers anyway, so why not let them work?
Li Qi is a businessman. Who can understand how heartbroken it is to see so many laborers doing nothing all day long?
Li Qi became more and more angry as he spoke, and said: "If you don't do it, forget it. If you don't kill all those corrupt officials, there won't be any left for me. I chased them all the way and searched everywhere for a long time, but I couldn't even find a good candidate."
If you find out, you can only make up for it in the end. When you come here, Jiaozhi will almost become a paradise. There is not even a corrupt official. I really want to beat you to death."
Yue Fei and other officers and soldiers were sweating profusely and were speechless. First, they hated corrupt officials, and they killed many in the Song Dynasty. Second, they had to steal money. If they didn't kill these corrupt officials, what would happen to the money?
Grab it!
The key point is that they killed them too thoroughly. As long as they were officials, they would kill them regardless of whether they were loyal or traitorous.
Li Qi saw that a group of them couldn't even lift their heads after being trained by him, and felt that it was a bit too much. He waved his hand and said: "Everyone, sit down, everyone, please don't stand in front of me all the time."
"As commanded."
Yue Fei and others then sat on both sides.
Li Qi added: "I'm not nitpicking. In fact, you have done a very good job. At least you have completed the strategic guidelines set by the emperor very well. It will be easy to get promoted in the future, but you can do more.
Okay, now that you all understand the strategic purpose of this expedition, you can give full play to your imagination and strive to maximize benefits. This is not unique to businessmen. As a general and a commander-in-chief,
You also have to understand the rationale behind this.
You must understand this truth. War must be consumed, and what you have to do is not only how to win the war, but also how to turn losses into profits in the war. Transfer your own consumption to the other party. This is
This is a problem you will often face in the future. Otherwise, why would we fight? Burn money to let Zaixing, the murderous maniac, buy pleasure? Use your brain more and don’t throw it all at me when it comes to money. I’m just a person.
.How can I keep wiping your butts? If I guess correctly, not one of you has thought about what to do after this spanking."
At this point, Yue Fei and the others were all silent. They didn't feel any grievances in their hearts and faced it with an open mind. Indeed, none of them thought about what happened after the war.
Yue Fei, in particular, felt even more ashamed. Li Qi was right. Wanyan Zongwang and the others were not only good at fighting, but they could also gain a lot of benefits from the war. There was no shortage of people in the Song Dynasty who were good at fighting, but there were very few people.
Can profit from war. In fact, the Tang Dynasty was similar. Confucianism and the way of a gentleman. I couldn't bear it in my heart. As a result, I was afraid that I would be cheated.
Take the last time the Song Dynasty fought against Jiaozhi, for example, they obviously occupied a lot of land. As a result, the king came out and said a few good words, and gave it all to the other party without any bargaining. The same thing happened to the Song Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty
How did the country treat the Song Dynasty? It wanted a city, right? Use money to buy it. What's abominable is that if people were moved away, the Song Dynasty would be left with empty cities. If Wanyan Aguda came to do business, he would definitely have to do it.
On the Forbes list.
No matter how much you think, you feel frustrated.
Like those Western powers in the future, none of them gained a lot of benefits from the war. Besides, Xiaomei, the leader of the world's bandits, also made his fortune from war. Only this "big country in the Central Plains" all died from internal strife in the war.
It's better not to fight, but you will die if you fight. The Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu, and the Tang Dynasty fought against Tubo. No matter whether they won or lost, they would kill themselves anyway.
Li Qi will continue to emphasize this idea. This is very important. Unless you do not plan to expand and are passively beaten, once you want to expand, you must learn to gain profits from war. Not only do rulers want to
Understanding this, every commander and even every soldier must think about this issue.
If things develop as expected by Zhao Kai and Li Qi, future wars will not occur in the Song Dynasty, so Yue Fei and the others must learn this knowledge. This is no joke.
"Okay, let's stop talking about it for now. You should think about it more in the future."
Yue Fei and others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Li Qidu looked at this, shook his head slightly, and then said: "A few days ago, there was a letter from Zhe Yanzhi. They had occupied Shicheng County, and Wu Jie also captured Shanchan Mansion, but the Gao family had already
He fled to Jiaozhi with the Dali treasury. Because of this, Duan also announced that he would join the war against Jiaozhi. I believe that the Dali army will attack Jiaozhi soon."
Yue Fei and the others were very shocked when they heard this. They originally thought that they were relatively fast, but they didn't know that Wu Jie was faster than them. He wiped out the Dali battlefield so quickly, which made them very ashamed.
Li Qi didn't understand Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, but he agreed with this kind of healthy competition and did not want any one company to dominate. Mutual restraint was the best situation. He said: "You don't have to lose. The situation in Dali is different from Jiaozhi."
, theirs was a civil war, but the Duan clan was still the orthodox one. The more they fought, the more they fought. Wu Jie used other people's soldiers to fight in other people's homes, and he didn't have as many scruples as you.
And ours is a war between two countries, invading from outside, and the climate and terrain of Jiaozhi are much worse than that of Dali. It is not easy for you to do this. I am also very satisfied, but Wu Jie and the others have one thing.
Better than you, that's the problem I just mentioned. In fact, he had every chance to prevent Gao from absconding with money and get more credit, but he deliberately let Gao go. You know why.
?"
Niu Gao said: "If this money falls into Duan's hands, it will be returned to the original owner. If it is brought to Jiaozhi, it will be two different things."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, once the money reaches Jiaozhi, it will be ours. As for how we use it, that is our business and has nothing to do with the Duan family."
After saying that, he took out the letter written by Zhe Yanzhi and handed it to Yue Fei, saying: "This is the detailed history of the Dali battlefield. You will all understand it later."
"yes."
Yue Fei took it and put it in his arms.
Li Qi asked again: "Do you have anything to report?"
Yue Fei said: "Oh, people from Jiaozhi have sent many letters along the way. We don't know how to reply. We have to decide for you, the Privy Councilor."
Li Qi swept his hand outside and said: "It's all burned. I'm very busy. I don't have time to look at this. Anyway, they will send people here soon. Let's talk about it then. Oh, is there any news from the Fuzhou Navy?
.”
Niu Gao said: "Five days ago, we received a letter from General Han. If there are no accidents, they will arrive here in the middle of this month."
"The middle of this month?"
Li Qi thought for a while and said: "There are only five or six days left. In that case, we quickly advance to the north bank of the Furiang River to cover General Han and the others. If the fleet encounters any accident, then we will have to drink from the northwest wind here.
, Alas, I thought I could go back to celebrate the New Year, but now it seems there is no hope."
This last sentence made Yue Fei and the others feel full of guilt, feeling that they were so sorry to Li Qi for not letting them rush back to celebrate the New Year.
It’s so cruel not to be able to reunite with your loved ones during the Chinese New Year!
