Chapter 434: Two Handles
If you want to successfully control the forbidden army, it is the least necessary to replace one or two lieutenants, and only in this way can Li Xin ensure that these people are afraid of him.
So this Wu Dayue became a pitiful victim and became the chicken that set an example for monkeys.
Of course, these people didn't dare to say anything more, and lowered their heads one by one.
Li Xin sat down with a calm face.
He looked at these people lightly, and his voice was calm: "Are you not convinced? β
The Holy Decree can naturally suppress them, but these people are all from leading soldiers, and they must be dissatisfied in their hearts.
If they are not convinced, they will do things behind their backs.
Everyone bowed their heads to Li Xin and clenched their fists: "The last general is waiting, convincing!" β
Marquis Li knocked on the table with his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The forbidden army is not the forbidden army of any of you, and the Zhichong Mansion under the command of the forbidden army is not the Zhichong Mansion of any of you. β
These frustrated lieutenants all changed their faces slightly.
"The last general will not dare!"
Li Xin grinned: "It doesn't matter if you dare, you'd better be bolder, Ben Jiang didn't change you now, he can't catch your handle, as long as you dare to make trouble, Ben Jiang will have enough reasons to let you get out of the forbidden army." β
Marquis Jing'an's tone was calm.
"Let's take a look at the left camp of the forbidden army."
"Under Hou Jingde, there are also eight Zhichong Mansions, and in less than a month since he took over the left battalion, the lieutenants of the left battalion have changed five, more than half!"
As he spoke, Li Xin glanced at the four middle guards.
"Even the middle guard of the left battalion has been replaced by one."
Li Xin showed a smile on his face: "All of you here, at least the military attachΓ©s from the fourth grade, should have heard a little about the affairs of the DPRK and China, do you think that Ben General or General Hou Jingde Hou, which one has more weight in the DPRK?" β
This is an obvious question.
At the beginning, after Taikang Tianzi won the throne, when he began to sit in the seat and divide the fruits, Li Xin ranked first among the dragon heroes, of course, these internal things are unknown to outsiders, but from some signs, you can see the clues.
Hou Jingde already had a marquis in his family, but this time when he divided the fruit, he only upgraded his family's title from lifelong to hereditary, and he was still only a third waiter.
And Li Xin and Ye Lan are both second-class marquis of fifteen hectares.
Ye Lan can have this marquis, thanks to the fact that the Ye family bet very heavily at the beginning, and Li Xin was purely a white body at the beginning, he can be named the Marquis of Jing'an, and a clear-eyed person can see at a glance that Li Xin's status in the new dynasty.
Even, part of the reason why Old Man Ye likes Li Xin so much is because of this.
In addition, Li Xin can often enter and leave the palace, while Hou Jingde has only entered the palace once in the past six months, so that relatives can be distinguished 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 the same, he can directly get rid of most of the Chong Lieutenant for no reason, and this general can naturally do it, do you understand?" β
In fact, Li Xin's words, three points true, seven points false, although he can directly replace everyone, but there is no available person under him, really let the eight people in Chen Guogong's Mansion directly become the commander of the fold Chong, the right battalion of the forbidden army will immediately be in chaos, and it will even cause big trouble.
Hou Jingde dared to do this because he had been a deputy general under Pei Jin for more than half a year before Li Xin, and he was far more familiar with the things in the forbidden army than Li Xin, and even he already had many cronies in the forbidden army.
Everyone bowed their heads.
"The last will wait...... Got it! β
Li Xin smiled heartily.
"It's good that the brothers can be sensible, then this exchange, go down immediately, complete the exchange within three days, and I will write to Your Majesty to ask for a reward."
Speaking of this, Jing'an Hou said earnestly: "Everyone, everyone is His Majesty's soldiers, and it will not be wrong to do what Your Majesty wants. β
At the end, Li Xin added another sentence.
"After the rotation is completed, there will be a batch of new armor in the military department, and the general will ask for a lot of livestock from the imperial court, and they will also be sent to the army.
Han Fei said that the reason why the Ming lord guides the ministers is also the second handle.
What is called the second handle, is the word criminal virtue.
Killing is punishment, and reward is virtue.
To put it in layman's terms, it means a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other.
Although this sentence is the way of the king, but in fact, it can be used anywhere, you want others to listen to you, first of all, let others be afraid of you, but just afraid of you is not enough, if you want others to listen to you for a long time, you must let them get benefits.
Lay the saddle on the right horse.
Li Xin has always done a good job in this regard, from the captain's battalion of Yulinwei to the right battalion of Yulinwei, most of the people are obedient to him.
Now, this trick still works in the forbidden army.
The bigwigs of these forbidden armies got up one after another and bent over Li Xin and clenched their fists.
"Thank you, General Lee."
Marquis Jing'an waved his hand with a smile.
"It's all gone."
"Yes!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After a while, there were only two people left in the tent, Li Xin and Zhao Jia, the little white dragon from the Chen Guogong Mansion, stroking his palms and admiring.
"The means of the Hou Ye Imperial People, let Zai Xia open his eyes."
Li Xin laughed: "Brother Zhao's method of slapping sycophants is a bit clumsy. β
Xiao Bai's face turned red, and he lowered his head and said: "Hou Ye is making fun of it, and he is not patting Hou Ye's ass, but he is telling the truth." β
"In just a few words, Master Hou can have punishments and rewards, which will make you breathtaking."
"That's because I have someone above me."
Li Xin gave him a blank look.
"Let hundreds of thousands of people eat a meal of meat and drink a meal, at least a thousand head of livestock, I don't know how many jars of wine, these things are only available when His Majesty rewards the three armies, if you change someone else, where can it be so easy to come down."
Zhao Jia smiled and said, "I heard Grandpa say that you are also very rich. β
"I have money, it's my own."
Li Xin pouted: "In the past, I worked in Yulinwei, there were so many people under my hands, I could also pay out of my own pocket to win people's hearts, and now Lao Tzu has more than 100,000 people under his hands, invite them to have a meal, maybe I will sell my Hou Mansion!" β
Zhao Jia smiled slightly and did not continue to answer.
Li Xin sat down, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "The thing that Brother Zhao wrote yesterday, I read it carefully, it is very well written, from today onwards, Brother Zhao will help me pay attention to the middle and low-level generals of the forbidden army, we will promote some suitable people to come up to be captains, so that the middle level is controlled, even if those commanders are thoughtful, they don't dare to say anything." β
Zhao Jia glanced at Li Xin deeply, and then slowly lowered his head: "What Master Hou said is that in the next few days, I will go to Changshi for a walk." β
"No, you don't."
Li Xin said with a smile: "From tomorrow onwards, you patrol the camp with me to check whether those people have been replaced, let's go through the eight Zhechong Mansions, and Brother Zhao will give me another list." β
Zhao smiled.
"Yes."
