Chapter 1385: Governing the Carriage with the Chamber
Because Yang Huairen has never been involved in the battle in the court, he has not yet experienced it personally, but from Li Chaoren's story, he can see from close range why the reform will not succeed.
The patriarch of the Li family also resorted to such a last resort in order to save the life of a child in the clan, so everyone also knew that Li Chaoren was not beheaded, but was assassinated in the Yangzhou Xiang army.
The land of Qilu is strong in martial arts, and there have been many famous heroes on the rivers and lakes in these years, and it is natural for a farmer like Li Chaoren to practice some fist and foot kung fu since he was a child.
Because he was dissatisfied with the tax collectors who pressed him, Li Chaoren's punch proved that he was a straight man who did not agree with him.
Counting the fact that Li Chaoren has not been in Yangzhou for many days, for a newcomer, it should be difficult to mix in a small society like Xiangjun.
But he actually scolded and scolded his team officer, and he didn't have to guess to know that this kid was also a thorn in the box barracks, and this kind of person with a temper and a bit of force value was naturally not afraid of a little person like the team officer.
On the contrary, because he gathered a few people with the same temperament as him, he formed a small force in the Xiang army, although the influence was very small, but in the hearts of the grassroots soldiers, Li Chaoren should have a very high status.
Otherwise, Li Chaoren would not have said anything, and the other soldiers and pawns would only be the first to look forward.
It is precisely because of his special position in the Xiang Army that Yang Huairen plans to take advantage of the Yangzhou Xiang Army, which has nearly 2,000 people, if he can find one hundred and eighty people with this temperament to help manage it, Yang Huairen will not be so worried.
After listening to Li Chaoren's story, Yang Huairen said, "It seems that your kid's prestige in the Xiang Army is okay, if this king gives you a chance to be the captain, do you think you can do a good job?" ”
Li Chaoren was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know how to answer.
Yang Huairen said with a smile, "Everything is done by people, although you are a farmer, you have a good body, otherwise you would not be the first to run back."
You dare to scold the section level in the Xiang army, which shows two problems, the first is that you are very prestigious among the ordinary soldiers of the Xiang army, no matter how you got this prestige, it doesn't matter how you get this prestige, it doesn't matter if you are ruthless and brave, the key is that they are willing to listen to you.
Second, when you scolded the section rank, in fact, you recognized the training of the forbidden army and other aspects of discipline in your heart, so you are not the same as those van army, you still hope that the van army can have a good appearance. ”
Li Chaoren was shocked after hearing this, God knows how Yang Huairen said what he thought in his heart, he hadn't thought carefully about why he was like this before, but now he understood.
"What the prince said is right, the villain was born in a farmer's household, and he didn't have any other ideas, but when he grew up, he only felt that the villain could not only farm to support his family, but also get some money and grain from the government if he could use a little martial arts to mix with the village.
Later, he was oppressed by the government, and he killed the tax collector by mistake, although he was not beheaded, but he was exiled to the army, and the villain also felt that this life was over.
At that time, the patriarch told the villain that no matter where he went, he would work hard in the barracks, and maybe he would meet the emperor's amnesty and have the opportunity to go home and reunite with the family.
But after the villain came to Yangzhou Xiangjun, he knew that our army of the Great Song Dynasty was like this, and the villain didn't even have that glimmer of hope at that time.
What kind of people are helping in the Xiang army, the prince must have seen it, thieves and thieves can be upright, and most of the soldiers are homeless, I originally wanted to say how bad people are, but it won't be.
But people stay in a place like the Xiang Army for a while, it doesn't take a few years, a few months, and the good people are also decadent. ”
Yang Huairen saw that what he said was sincere, and he also sighed a little, he only knew that the Xiang army was incompetent, but since it was a soldier, at least it should be a bit of a soldier.
It wasn't until he met the Yangzhou Xiang army that he understood how weak the army of the Great Song Dynasty had become.
Commanders like He Cunbao, there are more generals in the Great Song Dynasty, the status of military generals is low, and they are always oppressed by civil officials, and it is too difficult to get ahead in their careers.
So they only think about making money, whether it is for themselves or for future generations, it is what they care about if they can save more belongings, as for how weak the army of the Great Song Dynasty is, they don't care.
It's not that there are no capable people like Yang Shihu, but there are too few, and the generals with dreams will be worn out sooner or later when they arrive in the local army, and finally become like Lord He.
Yang Huairen also knew that he didn't have much military talent, and it was too difficult to change this situation, so he could only do his best, and he would never really do some boundless dreams like a stunned youth.
"Li Chaoren, this king doesn't have time to go around the bend with you, I appreciate some of your advantages, I hope you can stand up and help the forbidden army temporarily come to train and transform the Yangzhou Xiang Army.
As for who will be sent down by the Ministry of War in the future, I don't care, but this king can give you a promise, if you are really a soldier, I can give you a chance to let you enter the forbidden army.
In the future, you may have the opportunity to be rewarded for meritorious service and become a real officer, and it all depends on whether you have the ability to do it. ”
Li Chaoren was stunned to hear this kind of promise, he naturally knew the difference between the forbidden army and the Xiang army, and the opportunity to receive rewards for meritorious service was not comparable to that of the Xiang army.
What he cares about most now is not that he was exiled to the army, but that he was a thief after being exiled to the army, not to mention his own face, and brought a bad reputation to his parents, wife and children, as well as the entire clan.
If, as Yang Huairen said, he can join the forbidden army and then be rewarded for his meritorious service, this is a great opportunity, and in the future, he can not only wash away the humiliation of his thief and army, but even glorify his ancestors.
Originally, he was still a little skeptical about his ability, but everything today made him understand one thing, he is like this, he is capable in the Yangzhou Xiang Army, if he works harder, he is not afraid that he will not be able to turn this good opportunity into reality.
Li Chaoren suddenly kowtowed three times, "Thank you for giving the villain this opportunity to wash away his humiliation, the villain will definitely live up to the prince's expectations!" ”
Yang Huairen nodded with satisfaction, as long as a box army stood up, he was not afraid that other box armies with some skills would not follow suit, and his idea of governing the box with a box would not be difficult to realize.
"And what about a few of you?"
The other three people thought about the opportunity they could have in their lives, where could they not seize it? So he also kowtowed like Li Chaoren and promised.
