() When Wei Chuping said this, he took out a map from his arms and said: "At this time, most of Shandong's elite soldiers have been transferred to other provinces to suppress the rebellion. Henan, Hebei, Huguang, and Sichuan have already used their troops.

There is no need to delay, and it is absolutely impossible to send out troops. The imperial court will not count on the local soldiers in Shandong, such as the Andong Guards and the Weihai Guards. They are rotten to the core and cannot be used at all."

"And the three major battalions of the capital, in order to defend the capital and guard against the Tatars, are absolutely immobilized. The only ones that can be mobilized in the surrounding area are the Jiangsu battalions. But they must also guard against rogue bandits fleeing to Jiangsu.

The moral character of those big families in the south of the Yangtze River is to protect their own lives and industries. Even if the imperial court orders the deployment of troops, it will be delayed for various reasons. Therefore, unless the Shandong General Army recruits new troops, the Lingshan Guards will not have any weapons at this time.

worry."

When Li Kaiguo heard this, he suddenly understood that he was not from this era. It could be said that he was blind-sighted. He could only hear half of the things happening outside, which was not enough to understand the general trend of the world. At this time, Jing Weichu

As soon as Ping said it, he immediately felt enlightened.

Although Li Kaiguo didn't know Chuping's abilities and wouldn't believe his words too much, he still valued his analysis very much. At this time, seeing Wei Chuping silent, he asked: "What's wrong with Mr. Yi?"

As you can see, where is Lingshan Guard in danger?"

Wei Chuping pondered for a moment. The following words were not easy to say. Although Li Jianguo seemed to be very open-minded and corrected his mistakes when he knew they were wrong, once he said these words, he would probably make Li Jianguo furious and might lose him.

My own head. Going around in circles to mention it to Li Jianguo? That's even more seeking death. I'm afraid that before I finish speaking, my head will be gone.

Li Kaiguo smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry too much, just say it." He was relieved in his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart. If Wei Chuping really dared to deceive him, he might as well let him die.

Li Kaiguo's character is very strange. As the old saying goes, if you interact with ordinary people, you will share wealth and hardship, and share hardships. If you interact with the emperor, you will share hardships, wealth, and hardship.

However, according to his character, it would be difficult for him to make friends with Li Kaiguo and share hardships and wealth. His character was suspicious but open-minded. If he could get any further, He Jing would definitely be mentally ill.

Wei Chuping was not a three-year-old child, so he guessed that Li Kaiguo might have this kind of temperament. But he couldn't do it without telling him, so he immediately lost his courage and said: "The danger of Lingshan Guard is that the general does not know how to govern the people.

"After saying the word 'I don't understand', Wei Chuping stared at Li Kaiguo's expression.

Li Kaiguo actually didn't get angry. If it were any superior person, someone below him would say that he was not good at something. Even if he knew that he was really not good at it, it was not something that a low-level person could say. Those who dared to speak out and violated the advice would have to put their life and death on the line.

.

Li Kaiguo laughed and said: "Sir, you are right. Let alone governing the people, Li is not familiar with running the army. What he has always relied on is nothing more than his blood and bravery. Sir, please elaborate.

"Others say he doesn't understand, but he is different from ordinary people in this regard. He doesn't get angry but smiles. The smile is not a mocking smile, but a sincere smile. Xiaowei Chuping is actually worried that he will get angry because of this.

Wei Chuping was greatly surprised. He thought that even if Li Jianguo was not angry, his face would not be good. Unexpectedly, Li Jianguo smiled and listened to his words, and he immediately became energetic. Xiao Xiao

He flattered him and said, "The general is indeed tolerant and magnanimous. In this case, Chu Ping spoke out boldly."

He pondered for a while and then asked again: "Chu Ping would like to ask first, what is the general's ambition?" This is a very important matter. The so-called ambition here means ideal, that is to say, your ideal is

What?

Li Kaiguo said: "I just want to keep myself safe." When he said this, he was so calm that when people saw him, they would definitely think that he told the truth.

After hearing this, Wei Chuping was neither disappointed nor excited, and said: "If this is the case, then the general's ambition will be very difficult. Today, the imperial court is corrupt and the world will be lost. If you want to keep yourself safe, for the general

, the first priority is to 'fight for the people'."

Li Kaiguo thought for a while and said: "Sir, do you mean to win the hearts and minds of the people?"

Wei Chuping nodded and said: "Exactly, the people are the foundation, and a king without the people has been absolutely impossible since ancient times and even in future generations." At this time, his mouth was dry, so he took a sip of tea and continued: "

It has been more than ten days since the general took possession of the Lingshan Guards. Within these ten days, he has not done anything to gain the support of the people. Instead, he has been working hard for the people. Isn't it dangerous?"

Li Kaiguo laughed and said: "Sir's words are gold and jade. May I ask, sir, how to win the hearts of the people?"

Wei Chuping said: "Reducing rent, reducing labor, and opening warehouses to store grain are all good ideas." As soon as he said this, Li Kaiguo would definitely applaud him, and no matter how much he considered himself a humble gentleman, he couldn't help but show a trace of pride on his face.

se.

Unexpectedly, Li Kaiguo just smiled slightly and said: "What you said is actually the word 'profit'. If you benefit the people, you can win their hearts. Is that right?"

Wei Chuping was shocked. He didn't expect that Li Jianguo only used the word "profit" and said it so accurately. He had been paying attention to Li Jianguo for a long time. Although he admired Li Jianguo's luck and ability, he did not underestimate him.

It means a warrior.

Li Kaiguo didn't wait for his answer and said, "Sir, when you enter the fort, can you see the people on the road transporting grain, grass, and military supplies?"

It was because of this incident that Wei Chuping saw that Li Kaiguo had just taken charge of the Lingshan Guard and used civilian service in large quantities. Only then did he boldly speak out and ask for credit. At this time, when he saw Li Kaiguo asking, he said: "If the general relieved the civilian service

, the people will definitely be grateful to the general."

Li Kaiguo shook his head and said: "Sir, you are wrong. I did not force people to serve, but paid with real money and silver. If the people are not allowed to earn this money at this time, I am afraid that the Lingshan Wei Ben

I won’t be able to stay in office for long.”

When he said this, he showed a hint of sarcasm. The Wei Chuping in front of him was very eloquent in his talk, but unfortunately it was just talk on paper. He made rash remarks without checking the situation, which was of no use. But at this time, he was very short of manpower.

He didn't want to embarrass Wei Chuping too much, so he just claimed to be an official again in words.

How could Wei Chuping fail to hear what Li Kaiguo meant? This is not to say that he is really talking about military affairs on paper and has the views of a scholar, but that the times have limited his vision. From ancient times to the present, it is common sense for the people to serve, regardless of what the people want.

Money is the master of benevolence and righteousness. I have never heard of anyone giving money.

At this time, Wei Chuping remembered the scene of the people working hard when delivering supplies to Lingshan Fort, and then he understood what had been vaguely wrong in his heart. If Li Kaiguo really abused civilian service, how could those people work so hard? At this time,
