Xu Guogong gritted his teeth and said, "That's fine! But you can always give these people some proper care, right?"
Liu Haojia nodded and said: "That's okay, but it won't exceed a certain limit! For example, the limit that makes people who come from the side feel that they have been discriminated against!"
Xu Guogong looked at the other two people. After receiving their responses, he gritted his teeth and nodded, saying, "Okay!"
Liu Haojia continued: "It's not over yet! Junior, I have two more requests, and you must fulfill them!"
Duke Dingguo slapped the table and said, "Where did you get so many requests?"
Liu Haojia ignored him and kept to himself: "The first request! The junior army's combat methods are different from those of the previous army, so when they enter the camp, they have to start from the top soldiers! Those who learn quickly will be promoted early. Those who learn slowly will be promoted later, and those who cannot learn will get out!"
Xu Guogong thought for a while and felt that this was completely acceptable, so he nodded and agreed. Then Liu Haojia continued: "There is a second point! Because they will definitely encounter a large number of officers and soldiers with civilian backgrounds, so don't show off to others! When you enter the army, you will be brothers Pao Ze! The juniors are absolutely We will not allow anyone to tear apart this junior’s army! This junior must be absolutely serious about this!”
When Liu Haojia said this, he stared at Xu Guogong's eyes to prove that he was definitely not joking! Because he knew that in history, too many armies were deceived by unlearned and unskilled aristocratic officers until they were completely annihilated! There are also many talented civilian officers who are suppressed by noble officers, which prevents the army from improving its combat effectiveness, so he must try his best to avoid these things!
Xu Guogong naturally saw Liu Haojia's expression in his eyes and knew his determination! Moreover, the request made by Liu Haojia is also a very reasonable request! They also know what will happen once the army is torn apart! That is, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, the generals have no fighting spirit, and they will collapse on the battlefield!
So he didn't need to look at the other two people's eyes and said directly: "I can agree to this on behalf of everyone!"
Liu Haojia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him relenting and agreed! He was already prepared in his heart. If Xu Guogong didn't agree, he would rather overthrow everything and start over again than allow hidden dangers in the team! You must know that the military is a violent organization. Once it is controlled by people with ulterior motives, it doesn't matter if something goes wrong. If something goes wrong, it will be a serious matter of death!
Seeing that Xu Guogong agreed, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Now that we have made our words clear, let's let the matter be settled like this!"
Xu Guogong also said with a smile on his face: "Okay! Once the general direction is set, let the people below discuss the rest. We can always come up with Ziwu Maoyou! Now you should talk to me and others. How are you going to operate after I hand over military power?"
Liu Haojia collected his thoughts and said, "Then first tell me how many people there are in the capital and Nanjing?"
Duke Cheng Guo said: "The number of registered troops in the capital camp is 260,000!"
Liu Haojia curled his lips and said, "My lord, please tell me the truth. How many people are there in the Beijing camp? How many old and weak people are there among them? How many people are controlled by those who are unwilling to hand over military power?"
Hearing what Liu Haojia said, Duke Cheng Guo's face turned a little red! But in the end he gritted his teeth and said: "There are more than 260,000 registered people, in fact, there are more than 170,000! As for the old and the weak, I have not counted them, but I think there should be 20 to 30%! As for the people controlled by those people, there are That’s a lot, only 20,000 people!”
Liu Haojia curled his lips and said, "Okay, you are really good at it! With a team of more than 200,000 people, you swallowed nearly 100,000! The rest still do odd jobs for you every day! What you do is simply worthless. It’s a business!”
The three classical Chinese writers at XCMG all blushed! And they also know some of what they do! After all, nearly half of the army is on empty pay, which means it is impossible to allow it no matter which country it is placed in! And this scene was staged openly in Ming Dynasty!
Duke Ding's face was obviously redder, and it seemed that he had taken advantage of it! So he said angrily: "Is now the time to talk about this? Talk about your future plans!"
Liu Haojia nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay
! Don't talk about this! "
After speaking, he turned to look at Xu Guogong and said, "Master Guo, how is the situation in Nanjing?"
Xu Guogong said lightly: "There are 60,000 people on the roster. The specific situation is similar to that of the capital!"
Liu Haojia had a headache when he heard this, and he just swallowed half of it! However, he still steeled himself and said: "First of all, junior, I hope you can cooperate in making some adjustments! Adjust the civil servants and the elites who do not join the plan to your subordinates, and then fill in the old and weak among us! The rest! The people must be trained to eliminate the weak and retain the strong! Then some people from the Wu'an Army will be selected to serve as their officers! This is the most critical time. It depends on whether the nephews of each family can seize the opportunity and make a decisive decision as soon as possible. Enough merit to be promoted to an officer!"
The three of them, Xu Guogong, not only breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Liu Haojia's words, but also put smiles on their faces! It seems as if victory is already in hand! Moreover, Cheng Guogong proudly said to the other two people: "I said that you should never forget your status as a distinguished noble. It must be for us! You see, I am right!"
When Liu Haojia saw their smiles and heard Cheng Guogong's words, he could only sigh secretly in his heart! Because he had already guessed why the three of Xu Guogong were so happy. That means they are sure that their family members will occupy high positions! In that case, it would be equivalent to the military power returning to their hands!
The source of their confidence lies in literacy and education! Because knowledge is valuable from the day it was created! Nobles and wealthy people are also working hard to monopolize knowledge! So even in the Ming Dynasty, the literacy rate of ordinary people was still pitifully low!
In the army, if you want to promote a soldier to a low-level official, all you need is that he is brave enough to fight! But it’s extremely difficult to take another step forward! Because if you want to be promoted, you must at least be able to understand military orders, right? You can't even understand military orders, who dares to send you to fight?
Even if you have a few literate staff around you, how can you really trust them without a long period of training? If he adds or subtracts some information when conveying the military order, he will not only risk losing his head!
