Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 730 The Skill of Knowing People

Gently patted the backs of the two of them, Li Jingrou said in a low voice: "Don't cry, don't cry. Don't worry about the children, I have made arrangements. The cabinet members are all single-handedly picked up by me. I also single-handedly promoted the top officials.

Not to mention the army, Gao Qi, Zhuzi, Duhu, Er Leng, and Sun Meng were all cultivated by me. Wen Zhao is not only my confidant but also the father-in-law of my second son, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng. With the kindness of knowing you, Lu Xiangsheng is sparing no effort to push Anguo to the top, Dingguo and Hutou are my adopted sons, Zhang Chu and Zhou Hutou are also my single-handedly raised up, it can be said that the senior generals in the army are all mine Direct line, the foundation of the boss is stable.

The children only need to keep in mind one thing, that is to maintain a good relationship with these people, as long as they can maintain the current situation, not to mention my retirement, even if I am gone, the children will have nothing to do. "

"Master!" Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu cried out in tears.

Li Jing continued: "In addition, we must also pay attention to maintaining a good relationship with the emperor. Remember that although the emperor has no power, he is the emperor of Ming Dynasty after all. He must respect the emperor. As long as the emperor's position does not change, the children be invincible."

"Yes!" The crowd responded with sobs.

Li Jing waved his hand to stop everyone from crying, and then said to Li Anguo, "Finally, I want to tell you how to be a qualified leader."

Hearing this, Li Anguo wiped away his tears in a hurry and listened attentively.

Li Jing nodded approvingly and said: "As a qualified leader, you must learn to know people. So how do you know people? My standard is only one, and that is loyalty. This loyalty is not just for you. Personal loyalty, and more importantly, loyalty to the country. As long as you are loyal to the country, even if he is not loyal to you personally, such a person can also be used.”

"Do you only value the word loyalty? Don't you need to look at this person's character?" Li Anguo asked suspiciously.

Li Jing smiled and said, "If a person can be loyal to the country, how can his conduct be bad? You have to understand that if an official is loyal to the country, he will not be greedy. If a soldier is loyal to the country, then he will not surrender."

"The child is educated." Li Anguo said hurriedly.

Li Jing smiled and continued: "After you learn to know people, you have to learn how to employ them. You must know that a person's ability is limited, and there are so many things in the country, it is impossible for you to think about everything by yourself.

So you must learn to employ people. When you select candidates, you must learn to delegate authority, and don't ask everything, otherwise it will limit their talents.

But with so many people, their opinions are likely to be different from yours. At this time, you must learn to be tolerant, and don’t force others to agree with you. Even if you are right, you must tolerate different opinions. Never If you feel that there is a difference of opinion, treat him as your political enemy.

So what kind of person is a political enemy?

That is, he not only wants to knock you down, but also prepares to kill you. Such a person is considered a political enemy, so don't be soft on such a person.

In addition, when you have absolute power, do not use the intelligence agency to monitor your subordinates, as that will make your subordinates feel insecure and will not believe you. "

Li Anguo nodded silently upon hearing this.

Li Jing patted Li Anguo's shoulder lightly: "Knowing people and employing people is a great knowledge. What I just said is a little bit of my experience in the past few years in power. Some of them are just a corner opinion, which may not be correct. How to know and employ people depends on your own comprehension. But there is one thing you must keep in mind, that is, you should not be suspicious when you hire someone, and you should not be suspicious if you are suspicious.”

"Yes!" Li Anguo said hurriedly.

Li Jing turned to look at Li Xingguo: "You may not understand why I didn't send you to the military academy, but asked you to start as a soldier."

"Yes! I really don't understand, because I am an officer after I come out of the military academy, and I don't know how many years it will take me to become an officer from a small soldier." Li Xingguo replied.

Li Jing smiled: "Hehe, do you think it will be easier to be promoted if you go to a military academy and become an officer?"

"That's right! Now most of the mid-level military officers in Daming came out of the military academy." Li Xingguo said hastily.

Li Jing shook his head and said: "You are wrong. The reason why these officers are promoted quickly is because they caught up with the good times. Daming has been fighting abroad these years, and these low-level officers have been trained in actual combat. There are not so many battles to fight, and the officers taught at that time belong to the kind that talk about war on paper.

And I want to train you to lead the war in the future. If you want to lead the war, you must understand the soldiers. How do you understand the soldiers?The easiest way is to be a soldier yourself.

And I'm not going to put you in training with recruits, I'm going to put you in training with veterans who have fought.Those veterans will tell you what the battlefield is like, and they will tell you what it is to fight. "

Seeing the excited look on Li Xingguo's face, Li Jing shook his head, sighed lightly and said, "Do you think that fighting is an easy thing because Daming has won many battles over the years?

Let me tell you, fighting is not easy, no matter how sharp our weapons are, fighting is not easy, especially for recruits, after entering the battlefield, there is no recruit who is not nervous. "

"Why are they nervous? Over the years when Ming Dynasty fought abroad, very few soldiers were killed by the enemy. What is there to be nervous about?" Li Xingguo wondered.

Li Jing shook his head: "Do you think that soldiers are only afraid of being killed by the enemy? Don't forget that the recruits who have just entered the battlefield have never killed anyone. If you suddenly let him kill, is he not afraid? Do you know how many recruits are killing people? People will not be able to eat during the day and sleep at night?"

At this time, Li Anguo said: "I have seen such soldiers before. When I was in Dogans, I often saw some soldiers who couldn't eat or sleep. I asked them about it. The reason is what my father said just now. People were killed on the battlefield, or too many dead people were seen. What my child sees are veterans who have fought in wars. If the veterans are like this, one can imagine what the recruits will be like."

Li Jing sighed and said, "It's my fault. The military academy has always only focused on training soldiers' combat skills, ignoring the training of soldiers' psychological quality."

"Father, I have never thought about this matter. It is understandable for recruits to be afraid of killing people when they first enter the battlefield, but how can veterans be afraid? And my child heard that the soldiers you led back then were like this. It rarely happens, why are these soldiers far inferior to those you led back then?" Li Anguo asked in confusion.

Li Jing smiled, and patted Li Anguo's shoulder lightly: "Although my son doesn't understand the reason, but being able to think of this problem shows that you still put your heart into it.

The reason is actually very simple. You know that the soldiers under my father were poor people who could not afford to eat. They were forced to go up the mountain and become bandits with me. Bandits, it is inevitable and unavoidable to do some things The land is about to be surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the soldiers can only fight bravely if they don't want to die. To put it bluntly, the soldiers' desire for survival is far greater than their fear of killing.

However, the soldiers nowadays do not have as much survival pressure as we did back then, and our enemies are far from our opponents. Soldiers are almost not in danger of life when fighting, so killing people at this time has become their burden. "

Looking at the two sons, Li Jing smiled and said: "You have never killed someone before, and you don't know what it feels like to finish killing someone. Let me tell you, when I killed someone for the first time, I was very scared, and I was scared for several nights. I was having a nightmare, dreaming that the person I killed came to seek revenge on me. But after I killed more people, I didn't care anymore."

Gently patted his son on the shoulder, Li Jing continued: "You two brothers, one will become the head of state of Ming Dynasty, and the other will become the general of Ming Dynasty. Killing people is inevitable. So you must train yourself well. You have to think about it this way, manly man, killing someone is nothing, so you won’t have any psychological burden.”

Immediately, Li Jing said solemnly: "Just one thing, you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately. As a father, you have killed countless innocent people in your life. You must not learn from me."

Li Anguo smiled and said: "Father, you killed people for the sake of the country, and most of the people you killed were not citizens of Ming Dynasty, so you don't need to feel guilty at all."

Li Jing shook his head: "Killing blindly is not a long-term solution, but I have almost killed for you. When you are in power, you can implement the policy of gentleness."

"My son, thank you, Father." Li Anguo said hurriedly.

Li Jing smiled, looked at Li Xingguo and said, "You can't learn what I just said in a military academy, and what I said just now is very simple, the real situation is much more complicated than what I said.

Only when you go deep into the soldiers who have participated in the battle can you really understand what kind of mentality the soldiers are in the war, and you can know what the soldiers really think.In this way, when you lead the army in the future, you will know how to mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

As for going to a military academy, in fact, our military academy teaches some basic military knowledge, mainly for those soldiers who have no military knowledge but can read. The purpose is to train middle and low-level officers, which is not practical for you, because Some of this knowledge is taught by others, and it is more detailed than that taught in military schools.

But whether you can become a qualified military general depends on yourself in the end. You must know that soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and the use of them is wonderful.In fact, the way of practical soldiers can be summed up in four words, that is, adapt to the situation.You will never be a good commander if you stick to those military examples. "

Li Xingguo asked suspiciously after hearing the words: "Then why did the father still let the child read those military books? That grandson's art of war is now fluent by the child."

Li Jing raised his hand and flicked Li Xingguo on the head: "Confused boy, Sun Tzu's Art of War tells the basic principles of using soldiers. Although the way of using soldiers is ever-changing, it remains the same. No matter how you build it, you must first lay a good foundation, otherwise the house will not be built stably.”
