Yes, when the team is big, it will be difficult to lead.
Because all kinds of people can appear, and all kinds of thoughts can arise.
The fortune of the bandit-suppressing army is somewhat similar to that of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but Zhang Rui does not want the bandit-suppressing army to end up like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
In this regard, Zhang Rui had to often write the words "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" to encourage himself and at the same time warn himself. If I can't deal with the Manchus, how much better can my ending be than Hong Xiuquan?
Hong Xiuquan was exhumed after his death, his bones were bruised and his ashes scattered, the queen's concubine was raped and kidnapped, and his son surrendered and was executed by Lingchi.
Once the territory becomes large, some people think they can feel comfortable.
Especially when a poor boy who had nothing before suddenly gained huge power, how could he withstand the impact of sugar-coated bullets?
Regarding minor issues, Zhang Rui might just turn a blind eye and get over it. But when it comes to dealing with the military, Zhang Rui will never allow anyone to get involved. Therefore, if anyone dares to have thoughts about the army, Zhang Rui will teach him how to behave without any courtesy.
Li De, as the leader of the bandit suppression army. Of course, there is nothing to say about the importance and dignity of status, and he will definitely be attracted by many parties.
Everyone has their own little thoughts. Zhang Rui can understand that Li De is seeking small profits in private. After all, this is human nature. As long as it was something innocuous, Zhang Rui could choose to ignore it.
However, as a minister, you are not stupid yourself, but you pretend to be stupid in front of the monarch all day long. What does this mean?
Others will have to doubt your intentions.
Li De also understood Zhang Rui's intention.
Li De was also glad that he did not do anything that dared to betray the bandit-suppressing army. Otherwise, he believed that he would have no chance to kneel here at this time.
Moreover, judging from the strength of the Han Dynasty's control over the bandit-suppressing army, anyone who dares to have the slightest idea of leading the army away from the bandit-suppressing army must have a rusty brain.
"Get up!" Zhang Rui was still looking into the distance.
"Yes, I have thanked the King of Han." Li De knelt down and stood up slowly.
"What do you think of the Qing army attacking this time?" Zhang Rui asked.
"Wei Chen thought that it has been said since ancient times that when soldiers come, they will be covered by water and earth. If they dare to come, we can kill them. We built the city defense of Ma'anshan just to wait for them to attack. No matter how many they come, we will kill as many as they can. They dare not come and fight." At this moment, Li De immediately changed from his previous state of completely obeying orders and replied with a domineering look.
"Well, yes, this is the domineering spirit that the leader of our bandit-suppressing army should have." Zhang Rui praised.
"I'll leave the Qing army in the northeast to you. Do you have the confidence to defeat them?"
"Don't worry, King Han, our army has all kinds of spears and artillery. If I don't defeat them, I will be embarrassed to continue serving as army commander." Li Deli issued a military order and said.
"Okay, I will leave the Qing army in the northeast to you. I hope you won't disappoint me." Zhang Rui said.
"Yes, I will obey the order and never dare to betray the divine grace." Li De said with a respectful military salute to Zhang Rui.
"Well, go and set up defenses against the enemy!" Zhang Rui also returned a military salute to Li De and said.
"Wei Chen excuses himself." After saying that, Li De turned and left.
I originally thought it would be better to be mediocre, so as not to have to live in fear after the war. Overpass storytellers all say: When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked. Li De thinks it makes sense.
Although Li De also felt that the King of Han would not be that kind of person, people were unpredictable. Even if the King of Han was not such a person, the group of counselors behind him were not good people either.
So if I can hide my clumsiness a little bit, I won't let others feel that I'm a threat after finishing the battle. In that case, I will be safer in the future.
Unexpectedly, my little thought turned out to be self-defeating.
The King of Han, who originally had great trust in himself, even suspected that he had some ulterior motives. It's a good thing that King Han still has affection for him, otherwise he wouldn't know if he would be pulled down by others one day.
Moderation can naturally protect one's life, but it can hardly hold an important position.
If you want to stand above the court, you must gain the trust of the monarch, hand over your weaknesses to him, use your strengths, and prove that you are a useful person.
"Come on Qing Gou, I'll show you, I'm no worse than Zhang Zhishan, and I'm no worse than Li Niu Shi." Li De said arrogantly.
…
"That guy Li Mugen is capable, but if you don't beat him hard, he won't be able to succeed." Zhang Rui seemed to be talking to the air.
"This is not the kindness of the King of Han. If he were in the Manchu court, he would have been chewed until no bones were left." Chen Deyun, the commander of the Guards Army on the side, said.
"Let's not talk about him. How is the defense set up to deal with the Qing army in the northwest?" Zhang Rui asked.
"Back to the King of Han, a large number of mines have been laid for an area of 30 feet outside the northwest battlefield. At the same time, the area of 10 feet has been sprinkled with horse nails. Barbed wire has also been pulled up outside the first defensive wall. All musketeers are nearby. The water source is ready and the musket can be cooled at any time. It can be said that everything is ready for work now, just waiting for the Qing dogs to dare to attack." Chen Deyun replied.
"Okay, in the face of our carefully laid out defense, let's see if the Manchu Qing has such good teeth and the ability to bite it." Zhang Rui said with confidence.
Actually, besides these. In order to deal with the large number of cavalry arriving, Zhang Rui also mobilized eight miniguns. After the Qing army broke through the first and second trenches, it could be cross-fired on the only road built by the bandit suppression army to go up the mountain.
This road is easy to walk, but also difficult to walk.
According to the mountain topography of Ma'anshan, when the bandit suppressing army built the second trench and the third low wall, they strictly built it into a city wall. A barbed wire fence was set up between the second trench and the third low wall. This is like a moat outside the city wall.
This road is like a city gate road that can lead directly into the city.
It is a broad road for our own troops. However, for the Qing army who set foot on this road, it was a road of death.
If all the bandit suppressing troops retreat to the third low wall, then pull up barbed wire to block this road. Faced with the strafing fire of eight miniguns, how many men did the Qing army have to fill in order to capture this position?
This is really unimaginable.
…
"Dong...dong...dong..."
The sound of Qing military drums is approaching.
At this time, I only heard...
"jump jump jump…"
On Ma'an Mountain, northeast.
Artillery fired in unison, and the sound of bombings continued to be heard.
