Keeping human beings sane is an impossible task, so at some point we have to give people a sense of hope, even if it is ethereal.
In ancient times, in the hands of Boss Cao, this method was called looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst, but in later financial times, it was called painting big cakes.
A boss who doesn't know how to paint the pie is not a good boss.
Nie Li has no sense of guilt, and the future he said will come true.
Some have even been implemented.
Nie Li will arrange for those who died in the previous battles and those who were injured and unable to continue serving in the war to return to Shendu.
Or in the three provinces.
He deeply knows that he does not have the kind of personality charm that makes everyone abandon all followers, nor does he have the kind of lofty ideals that everyone can identify with.
He just wants to expand his territory and have the final say on his own territory.
I, my brothers and my family can live a good life.
This requires something to maintain it.
That's the benefit.
The local soldiers were not summoned by the system and had unlimited loyalty. They could join him either for righteousness or for their future. Some of them just wanted to have enough to eat.
We must give everyone hope, a hope that will never be shattered.
Only in this way will everyone in the Wanhe system protect this ship from the bottom of their hearts.
Why is Beiyang so powerful?
That is not something that can be achieved by one person's efforts, but something that every person in the Beiyang system protects from the bottom of their hearts.
Because they can get the best benefits from this system.
For example, in the capital, those who open small shops are mostly relatives of middle- and low-level officers in Beiyang. Traffickers and pawns are basically relatives of Beiyang who are unimportant or cannot be beaten.
The entire capital was run like an iron barrel by Lao Yuan.
These people are all vested interests. If Lao Yuan does not do stupid things, it will be difficult for ordinary people to overthrow his rule in the three areas of Zhili.
Back to the story, the soldiers couldn't believe what Nie Li said.
"The commander-in-chief has even arranged what will happen after we are crippled and dead?"
Looking at each other.
There was a hint of commotion.
But Nie Li didn't care, even though he knew that as long as he said a word, the commotion could stop.
"The commander-in-chief has treated me like this, and I have nothing to repay. That is, this life belongs to the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief and we brothers swear that if anyone wants to harm the commander-in-chief, he will have to take it from the corpses of our brothers. Step over!"
"Mom, I finally understand. As long as the commander is alive, Wanhe is developing smoothly and his territory is getting bigger and bigger. Even if we die, our families don't have to worry."
"Nothing else, whatever the commander says from now on will be whatever he says!"
Nie Li felt that the soldiers had almost vented their feelings, so he gently raised his hands and made a gesture of stopping.
The soldiers immediately stopped.
They all looked at Nie Li.
At this moment, even if Nie Li said that he was the emperor, they would follow him.
Of course, Nie Li wouldn't dare to have such an idea. It's a lesson learned from the past.
"In addition, another thing is to train hard and work hard! I, Nie Li, can see the efforts of my subordinates. The army also has its own promotion system. As long as you work hard, there will be many channels for promotion in the future! Maybe in a few years You can become a general and talk to me about major military and political matters such as how to counterattack those lands occupied by foreign powers!"
This sentence made those people with some culture completely excited.
Appropriate.
Too appropriate.
The marshal has arranged everything, so there is no problem. Only one person is left to do it.
Whoever the commander says we'll do, we'll do it!
Nie Li left.
Returned to his house (a bunker, a bunker that can withstand bombardment by 300mm artillery.)
Quietly waiting for Yamaguchi Yuxian to come to visit again.
The soldiers only knew that the commander had arranged everything, but they did not know.
Nie Li, the handsome man, worries about money every day.
They are cheating and abducting all day long, just trying to get some money from the big powers!
It's difficult for him too.
I don’t know how Yamaguchi Yuken negotiated with Nogi Nogi, but in the end he came with a check for two million.
Guo Xing was guarding the door and didn't even raise his eyebrows when he saw the figure of two million!
He said bluntly: "Do you know how much one of my cannonballs costs? How much does a brother's life cost? How can I spend this little money on begging?"
Yamaguchi Yuxian had no choice but to go back.
Then went to research.
It came again two hours later,
Since the gentlemen's country has now reached the status of an alliance, Yamaguchi Youxian said: "We can forgive Governor Nie's original three million loan from Richard Bank!"
Guo Xing raised his eyelids slightly.
Waving his hand, he told Yamaguchi Yuken to get out like a fly.
I kept complaining in my heart, when will my elder brother pay back the money he borrowed?
Nie Li was definitely influenced by the gang of boys in this set. This is what Ma Wu and others like to say the most.
I borrowed money and never paid it back!
For half a day, Yamaguchi County was anxious, and Nogi Nogi was also anxious.
The time for the base camp to attack the frozen-free port is getting closer and closer.
No choice but to add money.
Finally, at a price of five million, Nie Li was asked to send troops!
Not high, not at all.
Compared with the tens of millions of military aid they gave to Lao Yuan and the other powers to assist various forces, this was small money.
After all, this is for a country.
Nie Li smashed his mouth and said to Yamaguchi Youxian.
"The three million loan should also be forgiven. It's quite greedy for you to say no."
Yamaguchi Youxian tearfully agreed to Nie Li's condition.
Seeing that the conditions were almost the same, Yamaguchi Yuken said directly: "Chief Nogi hopes to launch an attack in three days. What is the scale of the troop deployment of Governor Nie?"
Five million, how big a splash will be in the water? These must be negotiated.
Nie Li got the money and laughed.
With a big wave of his hand: "How about dispatching no less than 200 cannons and no less than 10,000 men to attack Freezing Harbor in three days?"
Yamaguchi County is overjoyed.
"Administrator Nie is very kind! But do you have so many cannons?"
Nie Li is overjoyed, I have been waiting for your words.
He said with a poor face: "We really don't have this. We are short of money. We only have about 50 mm artillery, and the number is probably more than a hundred. I said two hundred doesn't sound good."
"Isn't the term "two hundred artillery pieces" domineering?"
Nie Li was so angry that he would not pay for his life. There are counties in Yamaguchi that are going crazy.
I don’t want to deal with Nie Li anymore in this life.
It's so irritating. Your grandma is so domineering.
As he spoke, Nie Li rubbed his hands: "Well, how about Mr. Yamaguchi supporting us with some large-caliber artillery? Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to do much good."
Yamaguchi Youxian fainted when he saw Nie Li's shameless expression.
How could there be such a shameless person, taking our military expenses and asking for the artillery support from us?
What do you think?
