To be precise, Lan Yu's military talents are indeed impeccable.

Even compared with Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, he is not inferior.

This is his advantage.

No one can deny it!

But I personally think that Sapphire's talents are limited to the military.

His political talent can only be described as stupidity.

I personally divide politicians and military strategists into two different categories. The two have some inherent correlation, but the correlation is not very big.

If we must define a certain relationship between the two, I personally think that military strategists need to rely more on politicians, while politicians only use military strategists.

One of the two parties has a passive relationship, and the other has an active relationship.

To put it simply, it is like the relationship between a boss and his subordinates.

Politicians are like bosses, and military strategists are like subordinates.

In a group, there can only be one boss, but there can be a group of military strategists.

They can be composed of Zhang and Wang, or they can be set up by Li and Chen. All the characters in them are decided by the boss alone.

This group of people can be related to each other, or they can be recruited with high salaries.

Among these people, the capable ones take office and the mediocre ones leave.

It is a game of survival of the fittest.

If the skills of this group of subordinates are not good and the boss is not very satisfied, the boss can fire them without hesitation and then replace them with the next group.

If it still doesn't work, you can continue to change it.

Until the boss is satisfied.

Once the military strategists are identified, the boss group composed of politicians begins to assign tasks to them and let them establish territory for themselves and create profits.

At this time, military strategists are like tools in the hands of the boss. If they want to increase their salary and increase their status in the eyes of the boss, the only thing they can do is to express their talents as much as possible to make the boss appreciate them more.

There was only one opportunity for Zhu Yuanzhang to show his talents.

That is to lead troops to fight.

Leading troops to fight is a long process, and there are many uncertainties in it.

If one person doesn't play well, he may end up playing with his hair.

It can be said that this is a near-death deal.

It’s just that the transaction entities are different from what we imagine.

One is to get money, the other is to work hard.

And after the deal was completed, in the military strategist's imagination, he had worked hard for half his life and conquered half of the world by himself. Now that the world was stable and everything was on track, it was time for him to enjoy his happiness.

But politicians don’t think so.

When the task is completed, the identities of the boss and his subordinates change again.

The hosts and guests, who were originally composed of the boss and his subordinates, changed their identities and became political opponents.

The former subordinate felt that he had made great contributions. I saved this country and the world by risking my life to fight the enemy. I could completely rely on my military exploits to gain a high political status.

But the boss doesn't think so.

The boss feels that it is my obligation to pay you wages when you lead the troops to fight.

Ever since you led the troops to fight, I have never given you a penny less in wages.

Now that the task has been completed, there is no need to hit the stick again in the future.

At this time, it doesn't matter whether you are a military strategist or not.

At this time, the politician's idea is that I will give you a large bonus, and you can retire after handing over your military power.

The labor relationship between us can be terminated at this time.

This problem becomes most obvious when it comes to the specific classification of rewards based on merit.

Because it involves an issue of division of rights.

Decentralization.

No matter in any age or situation, the division of power is a huge problem.

Because no matter how you divide it, it will feel unfair.

As a boss, no matter how little you give, it is always too much.

As a subordinate, no matter how much you are given, it is always too little.

This is the weakness of human nature.

No one can avoid it.

Political interests, even more so.

Because politics involves not only interests, but also national stability and the foundation of society.

Politics is a bloodless war, and war is a bloody politics.

Another outstanding point is that if a subordinate's ability is too outstanding in the process of conquering the world, his achievements and his personal influence in the team are too great, which will inevitably pose a certain threat to the boss behind the scenes.

At this time, if a powerful subordinate feels that the distribution is unfair, he can always play a game of going north to capture the king, which is undoubtedly a potential threat to the boss.

This is equivalent to having an enemy lurking around you from time to time. If something goes wrong, you can jump into the sky.

As a boss, if you want to solve this problem, there is only one way.

Find a way to squeeze this person out.

If you really can't squeeze it out, you can only use the last method.

Kill him.

Kill this subordinate who has done so much for you.

This is the principle of killing the donkey.

Having said so much, I mainly want to express one meaning.

Military strategists are a vulnerable group.

Politicians are a powerful group.

Military strategists need to rely on politicians.

Politicians only use military strategists.

Strong groups have absolute initiative, while weak groups have only passive obedience.

Of course, I don't mean to belittle military strategists here, I just want to express my personal views.

Compared to politicians, military strategists are just a tool for them to gain hegemony.

But once hegemony is successfully seized, the role of military strategists becomes less important.

And once this time comes, the military strategist's unlucky days will come.

Sapphire is a very clear example of a military strategist.

But judging from various signs, Lan Yu did not see his own weakness.

On the contrary, he felt that he had made great achievements in winning the battle.

So he did something very shameless.

Became a rapist.

Among all the captives who surrendered, he fell in love with the wife of Togu Si Timur. He thought that this woman was really good-looking, with a bit of a bulge and long legs, so he was so animalistic that he forcibly raped her.

Got her.

Unfortunately, this woman was also a martyr. After being defiled, she felt that she was no longer loyal to the Yuan Dynasty, so she chose to commit suicide.

In essence, what Lan Yu did was really unkind.

Things between men and women cannot be forced. If the other person doesn't like you, it's useless to force him!

Even if you get her person, you won't get her heart.

What’s the point of this!

What's more, you are now a general and you want money, money, and power. It is not worth ruining your reputation and ruining your future for a woman.

But the thing has been done, and it's useless for Lan Yu to regret it.

When this matter reached Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just calmed down Bei Yuan and had not had time to recover from his joy, was furious.

He didn't expect Lan Yu to do such a bad thing.

However, in view of Lan Yu's important performance in wiping out the remaining forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang did not punish him severely, but only gave him a verbal lesson.
