Chapter 39 The Confused Case (1)
Chapter 39 Confused Case (Part 1)
"This" Lu Lu once pondered slightly, then stood up and bowed, "Since the lord has made a conclusion in his heart, the old minister will not say much, but remember everything to do not hurry."
Deep down, he actually disagreed with his grandson-in-law's approach. However, thinking that the Huaian Army will have more and more troops in the future, and the generals will inevitably lead troops all year round, so they are unwilling to talk more.
The other civil and military officials were more or less uncomfortable with Zhu Chongjiu's delegating power to the commanders of the legions under his command to the sudden establishment of military supervision. However, out of respect and blind obedience to his lord, they were unwilling to express any objection in public. Only Liu Ji and Liu Bowen stroked a short beard and showed relief, as if Zhu Chongjiu's actions were very consistent with his expectations, which made people feel a lot of reverie in their hearts for no reason.
"If no one objected, this matter will be decided today." Seeing that no one raised any objections, Zhu Chongjiu nodded and announced loudly, "The Bureau of War and the Bureau of Personnel jointly formulated a specific charter. Teams at or above the brigade level must set up a military supervisor, regiment and battalion levels within two months. They can slow down, but the latest must not be later than the end of the year. The candidates for military supervisors can be elected by the commanders of each brigade. However, after the recommendation, they must be reviewed by the Bureau of War and the Bureau of Personnel. After approval, they will be sent to the martial arts lecture hall for relevant training."
"Yes, lord." The civil and military officials agreed, some with confusion on their faces, and some with joy on their faces, but whether it was joy or confusion, everyone felt that the temperament shown by Zhu Chongjiu today was much different from the past.
As for why these differences arise, everyone is not sure. With the busyness of the Huaiyang General Administration, no one still has the energy to dig into the bottom line. Therefore, a seemingly sloppy military supervision system was determined very easily. This decision was made so sloppy that many years later, some military history enthusiasts were full of confusion about the Huai'an Army when studying the system inheritance of the Huai'an Army. No one could understand which trick was given to Zhu Chongjiu, nor why Zhu Chongjiu could make such an amazing move at a critical moment, which further avoided the possibility of the main general leading the troops outside and holding troops to respect themselves, and completely eliminated the disaster of the vassal state in its infancy.
"What's so strange about this? I haven't built the branch in the company yet." If Zhu Chongjiu knew that later researchers would be so confused, he would definitely answer with confidence. In the memory of another time and space, there are countless articles about the role of the political commissar for his reference and reading. Whether these articles are commendations or belittled, one thing that no one can deny is that when communication is underdeveloped, the degree to which the political commissar's role often represents the implementation of the headquarters' will. An army with political commissar's possibility of betrayal and independence is far less than that of the general's power.
However, at this moment, Zhu Chongjiu did not need to explain his reasons to anyone. The prestige he established through victory after victory was enough to make most civil and military officials choose to follow. Many core figures in the Huaiyang clan hoped that their lord would become more decisive, so as not to waste all their energy on endless debates and miss the great opportunity to compete for the victory.
"Zhu Chongba's side will be in normal future. The Bureau of Lishui sent someone to tell him that the two sides will use Qingge River as the boundary. If his troops do not advance eastward, the Gaoyou Agreement will be effective for both sides." It is actually very good to be a dictator. Zhu Chongjiu simply continued to work hard. "The same is true for Zhang Shicheng. The food, grass and weapons transactions between the two sides are the same. Changzhou, Yixing, Huzhou, and Hangzhou are still occupied by the territory he currently occupy. If he had no choice, no one or one soldier would enter. As for the places south of Hangzhou, if he had the ability, he would not go to take them, and my Huai'an army would never spy on his way."
"I, please obey the order." Lu Luzeng, Mr. Su, Robben, Chen Ji and Liu Ji looked at each other and answered hesitantly.
"I know that many of you think the Gaoyou Agreement is burdened, but everyone think about it. Without it, will the Huai'an Army face more troubles? Zhu is the governor of General Li, and General Li is the commander of General Liu. Marshal Liu will not betray Xiao Ming Wang in any case. After Prince Xiao Ming was promoted to King Song, he passed the order to Zhu, whether Zhu listened or not."
Knowing that everyone was unable to understand for a while, Zhu Chongjiu slowed down his speech and analyzed it carefully, "So, abiding by Gaoyou's promise is not just about establishing a letter, but to a certain extent, it is the shield and sword in Zhu's hand. On the one hand, it is blocking Bianliang for Zhu, and on the other hand, it always takes a little moral advantage when Zhu faces others. Guan Qiao, I hope you can figure it out."
"This is my lord, my uncle, and I admire him."
"Lord, me, please forgive me for being stupid before."
The civil and military officials hesitated at first, and then answered in a verbal manner.
Zhu Chongjiu, who suddenly became straightforward and neat, made everyone very uncomfortable. Although overall, his decision has not been very problematic so far. Without intending to admit Han Liner, the King of Song, Gaoyou's appointment is actually the common "Son of Heaven" of the entire Red Turban Army. Only fools will take the initiative to send it to the outside.
"Although I, Huaiyang, was established by war, in the next few months of this year, if no one takes the initiative to invade, I am not ready to fight another big battle." Clearing his throat, Zhu Chongjiu added with a smile, "So far to take down the entire Ningguo Road to the south, to the west, and to the north, we will take the defensive stance. The territory we are currently in control needs to be sorted out as soon as possible. The establishment of officials should be set up, and the distribution of land should be divided into the people and accumulate strength. In order to plan for the future, the purpose is only three sentences: to reorganize the army, accumulate grain, and wait for opportunities. The operation of the General Administration must be centered on this, and no official shall violate it."
"As for the order." Everyone bowed again and answered much tidy than before.
War is the best touchstone. Although most of the core figures of the Huaiyang Group are from Xuzhou, so far, there is no one who can be in the position of two chief officers and deputy directors of the Eighth Bureau and the First Court. Zhu Chongjiu plagiarized three sentences from another time and space, showing everyone not only the short-term operational purpose of the Huaiyang General Administration Office, but also clearly reveals a goal to compete for the world.
Waiting for an opportunity is not to be content with one's own composure, but to choose to endure and prepare for the moment when the opportunity is not ripe. However, as soon as the time comes, sharp teeth will be displayed around you immediately.
"In Zhu's eyes, those who can raise an army to expel the Tartars are all heroes. Zhu respects them and does not want to be stained with the blood of these heroes. However, Zhu will not ask you to be tolerant. If you don't offend me, I won't offend others. If you want to offend me, I will fight back twice." He knocked on the former commander's case below hard, and Zhu Chongjiu continued to announce it loudly.
There are some things that Lu Shuanger said well. What he thought about is needed to explain to the people around him, rather than letting everyone carefully ponder, because no matter how smart a person is, his mind will not be exactly the same as himself. The result of the guess will inevitably be deviated. So it is better to take the initiative to express his own point of view and do his best to implement it. Even if he is unanimously opposed by everyone in the end, at least the problem will be exposed to the light in a timely manner, which is better than being caught off guard.
Thinking of this, he looked around and continued to add loudly, "As for where Zhu takes the future, will he compete for the championship, it is too early to say this now. We should eat in one bite, don't brag about it, it's funny. It's really that day, maybe many things are not something that Zhu can decide, maybe you have other ideas. In short, everyone works together with Zhu, and you will not let you down, and Zhu will definitely not let you down."
"The lord, the wise and wise, and I will devote myself to my work." The leaders of Mr. Su and Lu Lu Zeng, the left-behind civil and military officials answered happily.
After being confused for so long, this was the first time that everyone heard Zhu Chongjiu take the initiative to explain what he was thinking. Although many things were vague, the general direction made everyone feel refreshed. As for whether to become the emperor in the end, it was indeed as Zhu Chongjiu himself said. It was not only possible for him to decide. When the time was right, everyone wrapped the yellow robe at him. If he didn't believe that, he would even pull the yellow robe off.
Since he said everything, the next thing became much clearer and smoother. According to the current power structure of the General Administration, what Zhu Chongjiu really needed to do in person was actually just to point everyone in an accurate direction. In terms of specific details, there were naturally Lu Zeng, Chen Ji, Luo Ben, Liu Ji and Mr. Su and others to take on it, and there was no need to waste too much energy at all.
Zhu Chongjiu himself didn't like to do everything himself. After watching for a few days, he found that everyone could basically do things according to their requirements, so he felt relieved and once again transferred his energy to mechanical improvement and manufacturing.
That is his real strength and his pleasure. If you give some advice casually, you can make Jiao Yu and others feel enlightened. However, the hydraulic machinery seems primitive and simple, but the situations that occur during its operation are full of tricks. At this time, Zhu Chongjiu's theoretical knowledge that was engraved into memory in another time and space was immediately demonstrated its unique power, and often made the craftsmen puzzled by problems and strange phenomena. Zhu Chongjiu can clearly describe it by taking out another time and space physics level. As for the basic fluid mechanics and classic control theory that occasionally reveal it, for the craftsmen of this era, it belongs to the theological category. He was stunned for several hours when he heard it, and then knelt on the ground and prostrated himself.
"It's time to compile a basic physics and chemistry textbook." The more the masters of the Dajiang Academy were treated as gods, the more Zhu Chongjiu felt that some things were imminent, but who should count this knowledge, who should be the teacher, and how students should choose, all these things made him look like a big head. After all, in more than 290 years, Newton had just been born. With the thinking of today's Chinese people, he could not believe that there were people in the wilderness of the West, and that there were still people who were smarter than himself.
