"King Huai is so polite. I, Li Shanchang, have met King Huai!"
Li Shanchang responded politely.
Wang Jing laughed. There was no place to talk outside. He immediately turned around and led the way, leading everyone into the palace.
While walking, Wang Jing introduced Li Shanchang to Shen Yi, Bu Zhi, Xie Hui and others beside him.
The two parties exchanged a few simple greetings.
After the two parties got acquainted with each other, Wang Jing immediately said: "Sir, your reputation is spread all over the world, comparable to Xiao He. I wonder if you, sir, would like to humble yourself in Sihong and achieve great things together with Gu?"
Since the other party has followed Fu Youde and Wang Guangyang to Sihong, it means that they are willing to join the Huai Army.
In view of this.
Wang Jing did not mince words and directly invited Li Shanchang.
Li Shanchang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "King Huai is really straightforward. The king is generous to others and good at both civil and military affairs. I am willing to serve the king like all the talents!"
Wang Jing had a smile on his face and was in a good mood. He immediately said: "Okay! I have help from my husband, just like Xiao He, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty..."
At this moment.
Xiao He has become a unit for comparison again.
Ever since Liu Bang conquered the world and became an emperor with the help of Xiao He, when the monarch is assisted by his ministers, he will say something like "get Xiao He" from time to time...
Chen Yi on the side couldn't help but feel a little familiar when he heard these words. It seemed that the king had said this to him before...
After Li Shanchang expressed his stance.
Wang Jing followed the method he had planned in advance and appointed the other party as a walker in the palace and followed him to do things. After he has made great achievements in his work, he will go to Jiangdu Province to govern.
Then he returned to the center and worked with Shen Yi to become the core minister in charge of the administration of the center.
As long as Li Shanchang has real talent and knowledge, Wang Jing will shorten the time for his meritorious service and promotion to half a year to one year. In other words, Li Shanchang will be able to enter the Ministry of Government Affairs in one year and become a top figure in the Huai Army.
With such a speed of promotion, as long as you are not the kind of greedy person who wants to reach the sky in one step, you will never feel dissatisfied.
Again.
Reality is not a game. In the game, top internal affairs talents like Li Shanchang came to defect. Wang Jinghui immediately asked him to replace Shen Yi and become the Huai Army's important minister in charge of internal affairs.
But in the real world, this is absolutely not possible.
Although Shen Yi's original potential and strength were limited, he was the first talent to defect to Wang Jing. He was an absolutely senior man. He was loyal to Wang Jing and made countless contributions to the Huai Army.
If Wang Jing hires people like heaps of salary, and seeing Li Shanchang's reputation and ability, let him replace Shen Yi's position, such behavior will only give people a feeling of coldness.
At that time, not only the original civil and military generals of the Huai Army will feel disappointed and alienated, but even Li Shanchang, who has been reused, will not be grateful.
At that time, betrayal and separation will be just around the corner.
Wang Jing's method is a buffer, which can make the original civil and military commanders of the Huai Army feel more comfortable, and also give the new defectors a buffer time to integrate into the Huai Army.
Li Shanchang knew what was going on. Even if Wang Jing didn't say it, he could understand what he meant, so he didn't have any dissatisfaction.
"While I was on the road, I heard that Murong De of Nanyan was confronting our army. Your Majesty is going to lead the army personally?"
Li Shanchang asked.
"Yes, the army has already set off, and the lone horse will go north to join the army!" Wang Jing said.
"I have just arrived here, and I don't know much about the situation of our army. If the king goes north, please order me to accompany the army!"
Li Shanchang took the initiative to ask for help.
Wang Jing glanced at him, pondered slightly, and said with a smile: "Sir, since you are willing to join the army, you can do anything alone!"
Li Shanchang knew how to quickly integrate into the Huai Army group.
Entering the army and participating in battles with other generals, even if he is just a small official supervising the delivery of grain and grass, he can be said to have lived and died with the Huai army. This is a qualification and merit.
With more qualifications and merits, if he is in a high position, the number of opponents will be greatly reduced.
…
Two days later.
Wang Jing brought Li Shanchang, Xie Hui and others to Suining. At this time, 50,000 elite guards and soldiers had arrived in Suining to join the army here.
Suining was originally an important town in the northern territory of the Huai Army. Li Kaifang and Lin Renzhao both guarded it for a period of time.
The general guarding here at this time is Wang Maozhang.
After marching to the south, Wang Jing summoned many civil and military generals during the Chinese New Year. At that time, he changed the generals guarding various places.
A general who guards a certain place for a long time can easily form a monologue.
This is the prototype of warlords.
Wang Jing believed in his own abilities and believed that his generals would not betray easily, but he should never test human nature. As a monarch, he should never test the loyalty of his ministers at any time.
Instead of testing the humanity and loyalty of the ministers, it is better to formulate rules directly and transfer the guarding generals every two or three years, which can avoid many future troubles.
"Kings!"
After Wang Jing came to Suining, Zhang Lin, who fled to the naval camp of Suishui, came to plead guilty with his injuries.
"The general has failed the king's trust and caused the army to be defeated. Please punish him!"
Zhang Lin looked pale. After Suining saw Wang Jing, he immediately bowed down. Looking depressed.
The body was severely injured, and all the bones in the body were almost broken. Even with the strong vitality of the general, such injuries were not easy to heal.
At this time, he was still seriously injured, but he could already walk.
The garrison in the city.
Wang Jing, Li Shanchang, Xie Hui, and many generals who followed the army north this time were sitting respectively.
The generals in the army looked at Zhang Lin who was kneeling on the ground with some sympathy.
Because they knew that this defeat was not Zhang Lin's mistake, but that the opponent had a ninth-level general who was too powerful.
Even if they were to lead the troops north, they would end up with the same fate.
"Get up. It's not your fault that we lost this battle. Victory and defeat are normal matters for military strategists. I am not a harsh person... However, as the general of the army, you returned in defeat. You must be punished! Reward and punish. Yes, this is the rule in the army!"
Wang Jing said calmly.
"I will finally understand!" Zhang Lin looked a little bitter.
"Send an order to remove Zhang Lin from his position as General Huben and demote him to the rank of Staff General!"
Wang Jing shouted.
Zhang Lin showed no dissatisfaction and instead bowed again.
In the room, other generals had different expressions. Some of them had a good relationship with Zhang Lin and felt a little sorry for him. Others felt that the king had clear rewards and punishments.
Next to him, Li Shanchang stroked his short beard and watched Zhang Lin willingly be demoted. The other generals also accepted this situation calmly, and couldn't help but compare them with the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty.
In comparison, although the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty were more in awe of Zhu Yuanzhang.
