Chapter nine hundred and eighty-four. Bagan's awakening.
…
…
Human beings are emotional animals. Whether they are positive emotions or negative emotions, they will inadvertently affect people's judgments in their hearts.
Concerning this point, even Liang Fuchen was not exempt from vulgarity.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen's little trick obviously produced results.
In the officialdom, whenever an official is appointed, the most important influencing factors are not the official's ability and temperament, but the official's qualifications and official position! The so-called "people with ability will be promoted", "only those who are qualified", etc.
Wait, it will always be just a beautiful slogan.
This is because, no matter in ancient or modern times, at home and abroad, it is always those with more seniority and higher official positions who have the right to speak, and they naturally want to find ways to consolidate their advantages.
Therefore, when Liang Fuchen selected the next general of the "Guoguo Army", he should never have considered Li He. Maybe Li He had good temperament and abilities, but his qualifications and official position were too low.
should appear within the candidate range.
Liang Fuchen also understood this truth, but because Li He had too many similarities with Qi Bin, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but want to talk to Li He for a few more words, and also wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about Li He.
Condition.
Even Liang Fuchen himself didn't know clearly. The reason why he had such an idea was largely because he wanted to find more reasons to convince himself to support Li He.
*
So, Liang Fuchen looked at Li He again for a while, and then asked again: "Speaking of which, all the 'Guoguojun' military attachés present are all old people under Qi Bin's command. I have more or less impressions of them. They
I personally arranged all your promotions... But Li He, you must have recently joined the "Patriot Army", right? Otherwise, with your ability and intelligence, Qi Bin should have recommended it to me long ago, and he would never
Until now, it’s just a general banner.”
Li He's attitude was respectful, and he lowered his head and replied: "I would like to inform you, Mr. Liang Ge, that my humble post was made by Commander Qi who joined the "Guoguo Army" when he went to Yiwu to recruit troops some time ago. It would have been less than five months ago. If it hadn't been for
Because the 'Guoguo Army' is really short of manpower after the expansion of the army, I can be considered as doing my best in daily affairs, but I am afraid that even the position of the general flag cannot be occupied by the humble position."
Liang Fuchen nodded and asked: "From your temperament and conversation, you should come from a wealthy family. Why do you want to join the army?"
After Li He sighed softly, he said: "Beizhang's family does have some assets. The elders also want Beizhang to enter the imperial examination, but Beizhang is not the material. He has read a lot of books, but most of them are just idle books.
He really can’t write eight-part essays, and Beiji has been active since he was a child, and likes to wield swords and guns. When Commander Qi went to Yiwu to recruit troops, Beiji saw that Commander Qi and his officers were all capable and well-mannered.
, completely different from ordinary people in the military, he signed up to join the army as soon as his brain got hot."
Liang Fuchen asked again with interest: "I also know something about Qi Bin rushing to Yiwu to recruit troops a few days ago. He originally only planned to recruit some miners and farmers from good families, and did not intend to recruit children from wealthy landlords. He only thought that these
People are lazy and disobedient to discipline. Didn't you encounter difficulties from Qi Bin when you signed up to join the army? "
Li He looked like he was remembering, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Commander Qi didn't like Beizi very much when he saw Beizi at that time, so he directly asked someone to put on Beizi a suit of heavy armor, so that he could
Wearing heavy armor and running for ten miles, he said that if he persisted, he would let him join the army. If he couldn't persist, he would let him go... At that time, he was so angry at the contemptuous look shown by Commander Qi, so he gritted his teeth and persisted...
...But after I actually joined the army, I found that the daily training here was even more difficult. I couldn't help feeling a little regretful, but it was a pity that Commander Qi was no longer willing to let him go."
Hearing what Li He said, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but laugh on his usually solemn face. He felt that Li He was honest and his admiration in his heart became even stronger.
In fact, Zhao Junchen had already told Li He all about Liang Fuchen's personality and preferences. Zhao Junchen had prepared this speech for Li He in advance, so it naturally scratched Liang Fuchen's itch easily.
Liang Fuchen pointed at Li He and said: "You are well-read and literate, and you have the perseverance to run ten miles in heavy armor. You are completely different from the ordinary playboys from landlords' families. You are the most in-demand talent in Qi Bin's eyes. Qi Bin
Naturally, I don’t want to let you leave easily! Just look at the fact that you were promoted to the commander-in-chief in less than half a year after joining the army, you can tell how much Qi Bin values you!"
At this time, Niu Ji intervened and said: "Mr. Liang Ge, Li He has always performed well since he joined the 'Guoguo Army'. He quickly understood most of the training methods and tactics of the 'Guoguo Army' and was promoted.
It is a matter of course to become the chief flag officer... In fact, Commander Qi originally wanted to promote Li He to deputy 100 households, but later, for some unknown reason, the promotion suddenly disappeared."
Li He was not promoted to deputy 100 households, naturally because Qi Bin discovered Li He's true identity.
But since Qi Bin is dead, no one knows about this matter.
Therefore, Li He quickly explained: "At the beginning, Commander Qi also told me that he would promote me to Deputy Baihu, but at that time, his humble position had already become the leader of Commander Qi's personal soldiers. He just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
I wanted to learn more from Commander Qi, so I declined."
Hearing Li He's explanation, Liang Fuchen didn't think much for a while. Instead, he nodded and praised: "You are able to resist the temptation of promotion at such a young age. Such insight is really rare! Qi Bin is a descendant of Qi Shaobao.
, it can be said that it comes from family education. You can learn more skills from him, which is enough to make your future prospects broader, but it is much more precious than a simple promotion!"
At the same time, Liang Fuchen felt a little regretful in his heart.
If Li He had not refused the promotion, he would now have hundreds of official positions, and many things would be much easier to do.
It was only a matter of Liang Fuchen's words to promote a military attache from a hundred households to a thousand households. After Li He had the position of a thousand households, it was barely reasonable to let him temporarily act as the chief general of the 'Guoguo Army'. This would last for two years.
After years, when Li He's prestige foundation is firmly established, you can rest assured that he can be completely corrected.
It's a pity that Li He is still only a general bannerman in the district. No matter how much Liang Fuchen appreciates him, he cannot be promoted multiple times in a short period of time. If Li He is directly promoted from a general bannerman in the district to a thousand households,
The span is really too big. No matter how high Li He's military prestige is, if he comes to the fore too quickly, he will arouse the jealousy of his colleagues in the military, which will actually harm him.
Thinking of this, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and planned to formally end the topic between him and Li He, but suddenly found that Li He's eyes were red and his expression was full of sadness and guilt.
Liang Fuchen couldn't help but ask again: "Li He, why are you acting like this?"
After hearing Liang Fuchen's inquiry, Li He knelt down in front of Liang Fuchen and cried: "I dare not accept the praise of Mr. Liang Ge. Since I became the leader of Commander Qi's personal soldiers, I have only focused on following him."
Commander Qi learned his skills from him, but failed to protect Commander Qi's safety on the battlefield. This is all dereliction of duty and incompetence due to despicable duties! Now I hear Mr. Liang Ge's ridiculous praise again. Not only is he unable to be happy in his humble duties, but he is also...
I just feel ashamed..."
It can only be said that Li He is indeed Zhao Junchen's distant cousin, and his acting skills are indeed extremely superb. His crying seems to be an expression of his true feelings.
After seeing Li He's performance, no one would have the heart to blame Li He for his dereliction of duty and incompetence. Instead, they would feel that Li He has a strong sense of responsibility and has a deep relationship with Qi Bin.
Therefore, after hearing Li He's self-blame, Liang Fuchen just raised his hands to support him, and sighed: "Stand up quickly, how can a man cry in front of everyone? ... On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and no one can do it.
I can guarantee that I am careful, and I cannot entirely blame you for not being able to protect me... Speaking of which, I am also responsible. Qi Bin always likes to take the lead when fighting. I have told him many times, but he never changes, but it is also me.
It’s because he didn’t insist on getting rid of this problem of his!”
While sighing, Liang Fuchen also had a better impression of Li He.
Because of Qi Bin's death in battle, Liang Fuchen was also grieved. Now after seeing Li He's behavior, he felt that the distance between the two parties had become closer.
Therefore, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but think again: "This Li He's character is really good. Whether it is responsibility, strategy, vision, knowledge, etc., he is a temporary choice. What is especially rare is his deep affection for Qi Bin. It can be seen that
He is also a kind and righteous person... It is a good choice to entrust the 'Patriot Army' to this person..."
Just like this, the scales in Liang Fuchen's heart gradually began to move.
After Li He stood up, Liang Fuchen suddenly said: "You said that you followed Qi Bin and only focused on learning Qi Bin's skills. I want to see how many of Qi Bin's skills you have learned!"
Then, Liang Fuchen asked Li He a series of questions, covering all aspects including training, combat, logistics, etc.
After Li He heard Liang Fuchen's inquiry, he knew that his opportunity had finally come, and he quickly gathered his energy to answer seriously.
In the end, Liang Fuchen became more and more satisfied, thinking that Li He had obtained part of Qi Bin's true biography, and his abilities were sufficient.
"Li He's official position is too low and his qualifications are too young. This is indeed a problem, but according to Zhao Junchen's plan, if everything goes well, the imperial court will soon send troops to regain the Loop. I might as well promote him to the hundredth rank first.
Huguan, when the time comes, send the 'Guoguo Army' to the battlefield. Li He will definitely perform well after entering the battlefield with his ability. Once he has achieved military merit, he will be promoted to Qianhuguan again. When the time comes,
At that time, he was barely qualified to take over the 'Patriot Army'..."
While thinking about it, Liang Fuchen remained calm on the surface. He just nodded lightly towards Li He and said: "It seems that you have indeed learned some of Qi Bin's true stories... Niu Ji just said that he had already
I wanted to elect you to be the Deputy Hundred Household, but I was worried about Zhao Junchen’s attitude, so I took no action. But now that the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu are decided by me, I don’t have to worry about Zhao Junchen’s thoughts anymore! So,
In consideration of your merits in risking your life to save all the military attachés of the 'Guoguo Army', I will skip the position of deputy 100 households and directly promote you to 100 households. I hope you will continue to work hard and never forget your original intention!"
After hearing Liang Fuchen's decision, Li He was immediately overjoyed and quickly saluted and thanked him.
Liang Fuchen turned to Niu Ji and said: "This Li He is indeed a rare talent. Since he is a talent, he needs to be honed even more. If there is another war in the future, you might as well give him more opportunities to perform."
Niu Ji said in a deep voice: "I understand the humble position!"
*
After arranging the follow-up path for Li He, Liang Fuchen was also worried that his actions were too explicit and would make Li He jealous of his colleagues, so he no longer deliberately continued the conversation with Li He, but turned his attention to
He turned to other military attachés, constantly encouraging them and exchanging feelings, hoping that they could cheer up as soon as possible.
However, Liang Fuchen had just said a few words when he saw one of his bodyguards walking quickly into the main hall of the Governor's Mansion and reported in a low voice: "Mr. Liang Ge, Zhao Junchen asked to see you, saying that there is something important."
Liang Fuchen was slightly stunned, but he did not dare to neglect. He immediately invited Zhao Junchen into the main hall and asked the military attachés of the "Guoguo Army" to leave.
However, he said that after Li He and the military attachés of the "Guoguo Army" left the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, they soon saw Zhao Junchen who was rushing to the main hall of the Governor's Mansion.
Of course, Zhao Junchen also met Li He at the same time.
But both sides remained calm, as if they didn't know each other at all. Li He, along with the military attachés of the "Guoguo Army", saluted Zhao Junchen and said hello, while Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and quickly passed by.
.
After Zhao Junchen walked away, Li He quickly walked to the side of Lieutenant General Niu Ji and whispered: "I have to thank Brother Niu for today. If it weren't for your recommendation and kind words, Mr. Liang Ge wouldn't have done it."
You value me so much."
Niu Ji raised his hand and patted Li He on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You and I are brothers, so what's the point of thanking you? Besides, I didn't deliberately put in a good word for you, everything was just telling the truth!
"
Since Li He joined the "Guoguo Army", he has been deliberately trying to win over military attachés at all levels of the "Guoguo Army", and Niu Ji, as the number two figure in the "Guoguo Army", will naturally not be attracted by Li He.
ignore.
Niu Ji is indeed an honest man, and he is not greedy for money or beauty, but he is a filial man. Ever since he joined the army, he has been thinking about his old mother who was alone at home. Li He also based on this point, claimed that he had a
His best friend is from the same hometown as Niu Ji, so he can ask his best friend to take care of Niu Ji's mother.
Not long after, Niu Ji received a letter from his mother at home, saying that she had been seriously ill some time ago and had recovered thanks to the careful care of a friend of Li He. Niu Ji must thank Li He.
From then on, Niu Ji, who was honest and kind, regarded Li He as a brother. He and Li He were also treated as brothers on weekdays. Today in front of Liang Fuchen, Niu Ji spared no effort to say good things for Li He, which can be said to have a remarkable effect.
.
While Li He and Niu Ji were talking in low voices, the military attachés of the "Guoguo Army" had already left the Governor's Mansion.
*
At the same time, Zhao Junchen quickly entered the main hall of the Governor's Mansion.
After seeing Liang Fuchen, Zhao Junchen said directly: "Mr. Liang Ge, I just received the news that the coach of the Mongolian coalition, Bagan, has woken up! This person is the key to our regaining the Loop in the future. I want to talk to him as soon as possible.
To convince him to cooperate with us, would Mr. Liang Ge go with us?"
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Liang Fuchen frowned slightly.
Zhao Junchen had already informed Liang Fuchen of the plan to regain the Loop. Logically speaking, Liang Fuchen had taken over the entire plan, but Zhao Junchen still had to tell him the news of Bagan's awakening, which made Liang Fuchen feel a little unhappy.
But Liang Fuchen did not show it, he just nodded solemnly and said: "Persuading Bagan to cooperate is of great importance and is the most critical point. I naturally want to go with you!"
After saying that, Liang Fuchen stood up and walked out side by side with Zhao Junchen.
Liang Fuchen has missed too many things before, but Liang Fuchen doesn't want to miss anything again in the future.
