When Li Laiheng heard King Chuang's question, he immediately went through all the thoughts and ideas in his mind. After sorting it out for a while, he first asked: "What do you think our old camp lacks most?"
Li Zicheng frowned slightly, but there was still a smile on his lips, so it seemed that he was not in a bad mood. He placed the half arrow on the bedside, raised his whole body up with his right hand, and stared at
Li Laiheng's eyes opened and he replied: "Of course it is food. People eat what horses chew. No matter when, food is the most important thing in the old camp."
"Yes, that's it." Li Laiheng nodded. He had already typed up a draft in his mind on how to persuade Li Zicheng to reform the management system of the old camp, and then continued, "Beans of rice, wheat, and beans, and people eating horses' chews, are really the worst in the army.
The first major thing. However, whether it is grain or horse grass, they are of different types and have naturally different properties. How can they be mixed in one place without being classified?"
Li Laiheng took out the statistical tables and accounts he had done with Bai Wang before and gave them to Li Zicheng for review. Now that the material withdrawal situation was not complicated, he did not use double-entry accounting, but simply classified and recorded it. But Li Zicheng
After looking at it for a few times, I became more and more frightened by it. This simple and comprehensive recording and processing method really opened Wang Chuang's eyes.
Li Zicheng held the statistical accounts given to him by Li Laiheng in his hand. While looking at them, he shared them with Li Guo: "Laiheng is really a great team for me. There are so many grains and materials that can be calculated so clearly in just a few lines.
It’s really rare.”
Li Guo still had a sullen face next to him, but his tone could also reveal a bit of relief and pride. Li Guo said with pride: "I went to the warehouse to check the grain and saw these people in Laiheng.
The method was excellent, so I specially brought him here and had a good talk with the manager. I heard what Lai Heng said was that these methods are just the beginning. In the future, when our camp system continues to expand, he will still have more
More tricks are available.”
"Haha, what a thousand-mile horse!" Li Zicheng laughed heartily. His laughter was hearty and sincere, which made Li Laiheng's favorable impression of King Chuang increase even more. "Laiheng, what else can you do?
Let’s talk together, Yufeng hasn’t come back yet, if it’s appropriate, why not let you take Yufeng’s place as the steward of this old camp?”
Li Laiheng didn't know if Li Zicheng was making a casual joke or if he was serious. But he actually didn't really want to take up the position of chief steward of the old camp. If the Chuang Army was a highly formalized and centralized army, then what would he do?
Naturally, the head of the General Logistics Department has an excellent job, but the current camp has a crude structure and a very small scale, so the head of the General Logistics Department has become a hard job.
Moreover, Li Laiheng had great plans, so how could he be satisfied with limiting himself to a logistics position?
He thought about his words for a moment and then replied: "I have already introduced it to my stepfather during the day on the issues of sorting out the seizures, withdrawals and storage of materials from the old camp. If the boss is interested, I can go into detail in the next few days.
Write a few detailed notes and show all the problems to the manager. But..."
When Li Laiheng said this, he came to a turning point. He mentioned the serious lack of literate personnel in the camp and said: "On the basis of unified support and unified access, different old camps should be set up according to different levels of management.
The detailed management rules may require the assistance of a large number of literate people."
"And I've thought about it carefully. The framework of our camp is still small at the moment, so we don't have to rush to set up this frame for a while. It's better to sort out the food and preserve it first, so as to do a better job."
Li Laiheng said, and then brought Tian Jianxiu, who was in charge of the old camp, into the camp, "I heard from my adoptive father that the errands for the old camp were originally handled by Uncle Yufeng. I think it is best to wait until we break camp and go north.
After meeting up with Uncle Yufeng, we will discuss it with Uncle Yufeng and see how things should be done."
The hidden meaning in Li Laiheng's words is actually to wait for Tian Jianxiu to return and let Tian Jianxiu personally handle the reform of the old camp. The advantages of this are:
First, Li Zicheng proposed the detailed rules and regulations for the reform of the old camp by himself, and Li Zicheng will naturally keep the credit in mind;
Secondly, it was not easy for me to compete for power with Tian Jianxiu, who was very senior when he first entered the barracks. Moreover, judging from the history of Li Laiheng’s later generations, although Tian Jianxiu was a generous man and very popular with scholars, he was not good at military command and strategy.
There were huge problems in all aspects of the plan, which almost caused fatal damage to the Dashun Army in the later period. It would be best to try to bind him to the position of management of the old camp;
Thirdly, Li Laiheng himself did not want to take up the post of logistics management. He had great plans and was determined to change the Chuang Army and make it the unique king of the world in the late Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he had a grudge against Ai Guobin, the commander of the Qin Army, to destroy his family.
Everything inevitably requires Li Laiheng to personally go to the front line to control the army.
Li Zicheng stared at Li Laiheng's eyes for a while. His gaze was very sharp and profound. Li Zicheng's continuous gaze made Li Laiheng feel a little uncomfortable. He began to feel that there was a lot of Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. Maybe he had let Chuang Wang see it earlier.
came out.
But at this moment, Li Zicheng laughed again. He stretched out his hand to pull Li Laiheng's shoulders and asked him to come closer. He made a fist with his right hand and hammered Li Laiheng's chest. He said, "Good boy, I'll listen to what Bu said. Your
The nickname is Ruhu?"
Li Laiheng didn't know the purpose of Li Zicheng's sudden question at this time, so he nodded somewhat dullly.
"Ruhu...Okay, okay, it seems that your intention is still on the battle formation and military strategy. That's fine. Let's talk about the details of reorganizing the old camp after we break camp and go north to see Yufeng." Li Zicheng
After saying that, he turned to Li Guo and said, "As a supplement, I think we can let the little tiger become a small team leader first? Do you have any opinions?"
"This..." Li Guo hesitated for a moment. He didn't think there was anything wrong with letting Li Laiheng go into battle more often. He just thought it was faster. "Everyone in the camp, do you think Laiheng was promoted too quickly?"
"Ha, what's wrong with this? Our camp is not like those who rush into the Taotian and Huntianxing camps, where they ask for some age to join the gang."
Li Zicheng thought there was nothing wrong with this. The Chuang Taotian and Hun Tianxing he mentioned were referring to the leaders of the other two militia forces, Chuang Taotian Liu Guoneng and Hun Tianxing Hui Deng.
As early as the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Liu Guoneng was recruited by Xiong Wencan, the military prime minister of the five provinces. Moreover, after Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai raised their troops again, he did not raise his troops again. Instead, he subordinated himself to Zuo Liangyu and established the Ming Dynasty.
loyal minister and filial son.
As for Hun Tianxing Hui Dengxiang, he seems to have been active in western Hubei and Badong areas recently, and there is no telling when he might collide with Chuangying.
Li Zicheng took the half of the arrow placed on the bedside in his hand, pointed at the crude map hanging on the wall and said: "After a while of rest, we can break camp and go north. From Zhuxi to the north, cross the Baihe River
, Zhulin Pass and Longju Village entered the territory of Shangzhou."
Li Guo added: "Yufeng is operating in Shangluo. We can meet up with Yufeng when we get to Shangzhou."
Li Zicheng nodded and said: "That's right. We have to overcome obstacles and seize generals along the way, which is by no means easy. Little Tiger, I see that your heart is not in the old camp, but in the battle formation, so I will let you be a
"Little management team, first bring a dozen or twenty soldiers and horses, and on the way north, we will see if your methods can convince the old brothers who are breaking into the camp."
Ah...! He was suddenly promoted, and it happened to be in line with the official orientation of leading troops that he was pursuing. Li Laiheng already knew in his heart that King Chuang probably saw the little bit of Xiao Jiujiu in him, but Li Zicheng would not do it for Li Laiheng.
With a little bit of thought, he calmed down his anger and instead boldly handed over the military power to him.
However, this was not because Li Zicheng wanted to appoint relatives, but because he had already learned from Liu Zongmin and Li Laiheng about Li Laiheng's wisdom in setting fire to lure the enemy and forming a car formation to resist the Ming army in the battle to seize Zhuxi at night and the battle to break out on the mountain road.
I felt that Li Laiheng was indeed a talent that could be made, so I was determined to cultivate him.
And next, Chuangying will soon abandon this old camp, and the entire division will break out of camp and head north to the Shangzhou area. Along the way, there will inevitably be fierce battles with the powerful Ming Suppression Army. Is Li Laiheng capable of serving as a team leader?
Soon enough, he will be able to see the true story from actual combat. If he is incompetent, he will naturally be eliminated by the Ming army.
The generals of the civilian army were all trained in tragic defeats under the encirclement and suppression of the superior Ming army.
Li Laiheng has not yet withstood enough tests, but he has indeed shown outstanding qualifications and talents. Li Zicheng favored the little tiger and hoped that the little tiger could really live up to his and Li Guo's expectations.
One day, hundreds of beasts will roar.
"Thank you, boss, for the promotion! Laiheng will definitely try his best to not embarrass our camp, let alone the boss and his adoptive father!"
Li Laiheng knelt on the ground with one knee and clasped his fists, thanking Li Zicheng for his promotion. The fighting spirit in his eyes was already high. He first broke into the camp and then took over the military power. His plan for the world did not seem impossible to realize!
Li Zicheng chuckled twice and waved to Li Guo to take Li Laiheng out, "Besides, it's already dark today. I think we'll have to wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow morning you take Little Tiger to get acquainted with the soldiers under his command.
.”
Li Guo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take Heng to rest first. You also need to take a good rest, Zicheng. Go to bed early tonight and don't let your condition get worse again."
"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Li Zicheng hammered his chest twice to show that he was very healthy and strong. "I'm almost in good health. That's just the past few days. You don't have to worry too much.
.”
Li Zicheng asked Li Laiheng again in a caring tone as an elder: "Little tiger, all the conditions in the old camp are simple. It is really inconvenient to give preferential treatment to anyone during the march and war. You must adapt well in the future."
"What the old master taught me is that Leghorn will take it to heart."
After Li Laiheng said hello to Li Zicheng a few times, he turned around and followed Li Guo out of the door. At this time, the night was getting darker, and the shadow of half the moon could already be seen in the sky. He looked towards the sky from the dark mountain forest.
, you can see the reflections as dense as a river, stretching across the sky like a belt.
Starlight doesn't care about travelers, but Chuang Jun and Li Laiheng still have a long and difficult road ahead.
But at this moment, Li Laiheng's optimism became more intense. Under the guidance of Li Guo, he returned to his temporary cabin. Although it was rough and simple, it was better than the one he had lived in with many people in Zhuxi County before.
That leaky hut is so much better.
Thinking of the dilapidated huts in Zhuxi County, Li Laiheng couldn't help but think of Bai Youcai. Thanks to the advice of this fellow Mizhi, he seized the opportunity to join the camp, but Bai Youcai himself failed
On the eve of victory in the Battle of Zhuxi, he died under the sword of an officer.
In the turbulent years of Chongzhen's twelfth year, those who died had more than just wealth in vain.
Li Laiheng thought of his little sister Youniang from Mizhi's hometown.
The moon hangs high in the sky, sailing among the stars like a ship. Sleep is gradually approaching. When the sun rises tomorrow, what will this troubled world be like?
================================================
Zhihu "Why did Li Zicheng exclaim "What a great saint" when he saw Li Laiheng for the first time?"
Reitaro Akasaka
I am busy with worldly matters, so I will temporarily decline to answer questions.
Thanks for the invitation.
The allusion of the good saintly grandson comes from the "Shun Dynasty Imperial History of the Ming Dynasty". According to the "Shun Dynasty Imperial History of the Ming Dynasty", when Li Zicheng saw Li Laiheng for the first time in 1639 (that is, the 12th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty), he was amazed by his talent.
He was praised as "a good saint grandson".
This record has been promoted by official history books, especially in the Xiaozong Dynasty where the battle for the throne was fierce, and it received strong official push, and it has almost become a conclusion. Even Li Guo's succession is considered to be related to this.
However, as the historian Zhao Yi, who was exiled to the New World for participating in Republican activities, said, "After examining the books "Bao Yun Shu", "Chronicles of the Late Ming Dynasty", and "The Beginning and End of the Dynasty Ding Ding", the emperor was in Yunyang.
, was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and Taizong had been in the army for ten years. The emperor was well-established in sacred literature and martial arts, but how could Taizu be determined to be the crown prince just because he was a young man? I knew that the theory of the sage-grandson was totally wrong."
In 1639, Li Zicheng, Li Guo and others had been fighting for nearly ten years. How could Li Laiheng, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, be so shocked that Li Guo was appointed crown prince?
In his book "History of the Peasant War in the Late Ming Dynasty", Mr. Gu Cheng conducted detailed research on the legend of the "Good Saint Sun". He believed that the source of this story came from the self-construction of the "orthodox narrative" of the Shizu Dynasty.
One of the many official rumors during the Ming Dynasty.
In the Xiaozong Dynasty, due to the fierce competition for the throne, domestic class conflicts also tended to become fierce. They took out this Shunchu legend, which had long been widely questioned by folk historians, and tried to use the "orthodox narrative" of the god's tablet to ease it.
Contradictions within the ruling group anesthetize the domestic class struggle movement.
