Chapter 533 An Car Shop (2)

Xia Yuzhuozhuo, looking from the newly restored Linzhang Three Platforms, it is misty and rainy above Zhangshui, and it is impossible to see the specific situation, but even ordinary people with no cultivation can see this far from the platform

From a distance, I noticed the noise on the Zhanghe River.

There is no way, the reason why Yecheng is Yecheng is because it is the closest node between Zhangshui and the big river... Zhangshui crosses the entire Hebei Plain diagonally, constantly importing or distributing the essence of the entire Hebei, and it is closest to the big river.

It also makes this place a gateway to the Central Plains.

This is the natural heart and capital of Hebei.

Thanks to this, at this moment, countless ships are crossing the Zhang River, and because of the rain, they are jammed outside the two docks in the north and south of Yecheng, making it so noisy.

On the central platform of the new third platform, named the Wind Swallowing Platform, in a side hall somewhere, Zhang Xing, the leader of the gang, withdrew his gaze from the direction of the river and looked back at the new large round table in front of him: "Where did we just talk?

"

Judging from his appearance, he was distracted by the movement outside.

This is a temporary meeting. Originally, Dahangtai has a regular meeting once a month. Zhang Xing is the leader, usually Wei Xuanding, Chen Bin, Xiong Bonan, Xu Shiying, Chai Xiao and five Daxingtai leaders participate, while the other leaders only need to attend

Yecheng should also be present to sort out the work for the month and issue the integration decree... But this time, because it was necessary to temporarily discuss the sudden military situation, Shan Tonghai and Hong Changya, two nearby leaders, also rushed over.

There were eight people in total, sitting at a big table.

By now, the meeting is actually halfway through. Everyone has listened to Hong Changya and Shan Tonghai’s reports and arrangements on military situation, Chai Xiaohe’s logistics arrangements, Xu Shiying’s temporary arrangements for follow-up troops, etc. Now we have to proceed

The final supplementary proposal session should theoretically be tiring.

However, as someone who currently claims to be a master, Chief Zhang's distraction still makes everyone feel a little strange.

"Some people are dissatisfied with this round of army reorganization." Xu Dalang, who was on Zhang Xing's right hand side, was not surprised at all, but immediately responded. "But since it is an army reorganization, there must be some people who are dissatisfied. There was a lot of trouble after the appointment of the leader was announced.

It's just that Chang Li suddenly rebelled against the gang, and everyone couldn't help but share the same hatred.

The matter was settled. However, now that there is no big fight, some people who have not gained military merit, and those who hope that the war will disrupt the army's plan and continue to control the army, point to this matter and start making trouble again, using various methods...

And in my opinion, with Chang Fu in front of them, they will never cause a big trouble."

"You mean we can advance the army normally without any reaction?" Chen Bin asked with a frown.

"Yes, I am the deputy commander of Daxingtai and the general manager of the Military Affairs Department. If this matter causes trouble or delays the entire army, I will naturally be responsible." Xu Dalang raised his hand and patted the pile of documents in front of him. "

And compared with this matter, I still have two troublesome matters related to the army that I want you to decide."

No one made a sound in the side hall for a while, except for the sound of paper and pens written by the clerks on the plans around the large round table, which was in harmony with the sound of rain outside and the voices of people on the river.

"If nothing happened, why did you file this case?" Zhang Xing seemed to have no reaction.

"The proposal was not made by Deputy Commander Xu, but by me." Chen Bin sighed softly and spoke seriously. "Chief, I actually have some opinions on the previously adjusted list of leaders, especially after the incident of Chang Cheng came out.

, according to Shan Longtou's report, there were actually many people who were almost persuaded by him, and they were all the fallen leaders of the entire army... It can be seen that the previous results were indeed somewhat incomplete."

At this point, Chen Bin paused for a moment, and then made it clear what he meant: "For example, for example, before I treated Liu Heifu, how could I be so graceful to this rogue? He just made three or four adjustments for him when he made a fuss.

Battalion configuration?”

Xu Shiying opened his mouth, but did not say anything.

In fact, it was Zhang Xing who made the explanation: "If we are discussing the reorganization of the army, there is only one reason, and that is, has it stabilized and increased its combat power? After all, we are still fighting. And Liu Heifu is indeed a

Even his own family recognizes him as a scoundrel, but since he joined the army, he has always dared to fight and fight first... and this guy is too outstanding.

There are not many generals who work tirelessly and are happy to hear the battle. There are not many generals who can deal with difficulties even behind enemy lines. Only Liu Heifu in our gang has fought! Otherwise, I would not have given him the sword. So,

The reason why we tolerate him is because he can really fight, and the reasons he put forward are from the perspective of being able to fight and be good at fighting, not just messing around."

Chen Bin was stunned and asked seriously: "So, the chief thinks that Liu Heifu is a good general, and he wants to make military arrangements around him?"

"Yes." Zhang Xing affirmed. "There are many leaders in our gang who came from the Hebei Rebel Army, but the most important one is the climate in the army formation."

"If you put it this way, it wouldn't be unfair to match him with a leader who came from the Hebei Rebel Army." Chen Bin nodded slightly and stopped caring.

Chief Zhang failed to pretend to be confused and was forced to personally force Chen Bin back. Among the rest of the people present, Wei Xuanding was obviously relieved.

Even Zhang Xing himself sighed slightly in his heart.

There is no way, this is Chen Bin.

It is natural for Chen Bin to be able to achieve this position. Not to mention the outstanding achievements he made when the gang first entered Hebei. The most important thing is that at that time, a group of powerful landowners in the gang broke up and settled down. Who knows how to govern the country? Which one?

Do you have an overall experience in sorting out the overall government and military affairs in Hebei?

In addition, as a representative of the Hebei army, he was also supported by a bunch of surrendered leaders.

Therefore, although everyone was a little surprised at Zhang Xing's unusual promotion of this person at the time, they were just a little surprised. Later, they would say that Chief Zhang has courage and vision, and is worth a million dollars.

However, as he actually took charge of Daxantai, both his advantages and disadvantages came out. The advantage was that he was experienced and good at handling complex affairs, and he was hardworking and uncomplaining. The disadvantage was that he was obviously short-minded... at least for a person.

As far as the prime minister is concerned, there are indeed some shortcomings.

He initially competed with Dou Lide.

However, because the conflict between the Hebei officials and the Hebei rebels was natural, the factional conflict escalated to the level of their respective leaders. Although everyone felt that there was a slight drop in prices, it was considered to be for a reason, so they did not think too much about Manager Chen.

Now, Dou Lide has gone to Youzhou, but Chen Bin has pointed the finger at Xu Shiying... It's not that there is a confrontation between civil and military affairs, but that Chen Bin always wants to take military affairs into his hands. This seems to show that the source of some conflicts is indeed in you.

feeling.

That's right, this time Chen Bin had more opinions about Xu Shiying than against Liu Heifu, the gangster who was challenged by the Hebei rebels, or the old leaders in Henan who were eliminated.

And this inevitably makes people question the moral integrity of the actual prime minister, and even whether he is competent or not!

But so what?

Indeed, there are talents in the CCP now. Several clerks who were born in the Great Wei Dynasty are obviously better at handling government affairs than Chen Bin, a remnant of the Southern Dynasties. In theory, there are people who can be the prime minister, and they are even doing auxiliary work in Daxingtai.

...But the question is, do these people have seniority within the gang? Do they have meritorious service? Do they have stable supporters?

If I have to say it, after deposing Lord Tunfeng, Zhang Xing can indeed be forced to replace the candidate with his prestige, but the problem is that Zhang Xing is not willing to change... One is his old habit of cherishing feathers and not wanting to be with others.

After eliminating a large number of senior and low-level people, we then moved on to the top people.

The only thing you need to do is to use people to act forward and not others to act backward; secondly, the gang is still conquering the world, and Hebei and Beiland have just completed the reunification. At this time, it is still necessary to maintain political stability. It is best for the top leaders who have not made big mistakes not to move arbitrarily.

, the middle level is replaced and refined, and the lower level moves up one after another.

Therefore, Commander Chen, Deputy Commander Chen, should continue to assume sufficient responsibilities for a long time to come.

His mind turned around, but after a moment, Zhang Xing continued to explain: "As for those leaders in Henan, Chang Fu seduced them on his own. This does not count. Instead, they resisted Chang Fu's temptation and stabilized their position.

, it has passed the test.”

"That's right!" Shan Tonghai, who was sitting opposite Zhang Xingzheng, responded immediately.

"You cannot deal with people indiscriminately." Xiong Bonan also immediately expressed his position.

Chen Bin nodded and stopped worrying about this topic. According to Zhang Xing's suggestion, this kind of small meeting should be put at the end to focus on raising hands, so it passed directly.

Zhang Xing then asked Xu Shiying: "What other proposals for military reform should be discussed here?"

"The first is ordnance... Most of the basic ordnance has been produced, but there are differences in the follow-up plan." Xu Shiying said sternly. "Over in Beidi, according to the chief's wishes, we will give them whatever they want, but we

What about here? Not only

The difference between fancy teams and pure teams, more importantly, is that many leaders have their own ideas and want to configure their own ordnance. Do we agree? If we agree, the combat power will be uneven and cost more. It is better to unify the ordnance.

The configuration is cheap and the quantity is large.”

"What kind of special weapons are there?" Shan Tonghai asked first.

"That's a lot!" Xu Dalang was obviously joking. "Many battalions don't want the previous three-arrow bows, but one battalion wants five hundred more powerful crossbows, and another battalion wants three hundred high-quality iron-tied bows.

, there is another battalion that requires 300 points of steel and eight horses, and I have forgotten who else, and it requires 500 large copper shields..."

"They are indeed expensive and laborious things." Chai Xiaohe, the leader in charge of logistics, couldn't help complaining. "For the simplest shield, five hundred large copper shields are enough to replace three thousand iron hoop nail shields.

It’s time to deal with arrows, swords and axes! A master of condensing pills may be able to use Duanjiang Zhenqi to split them, but they can’t be equipped for this.”

"These are actually not bad, the key is that some people want to add an iron surface to the armor, and carve fangs on the iron surface, some people want to wear a cloak embroidered with Lord Wind Swallower, and some people want to have feathers on their helmets, made of iron feathers.

"Xu Shiying shook his head in reply. "I can't stop talking..."

"These have indeed passed." Wei Xuanding also frowned. "With all the spare money and time, it is better to let the craftsmen make some farm tools... Youzhou, Hejian and northern Shanxi are all short of iron farm tools."

It was rare for everyone to reach an agreement, but Zhang Xing did not rush to draw a conclusion on his own. Instead, he looked back at Xu Shiying: "What did Deputy Commander Xu think?"

"I think unity is the best." Xu Shiying said sternly. "On the one hand, the logistical pressure is great. The key is to look at the overall situation, so that the overall combat strength can be guaranteed and the weak battalion's combat strength can be supported... in future operations.

, it is a battle between large armies. At this time, we must be more careful about the defeat of weak soldiers and the collapse of the overall situation."

"I generally agree." Zhang Xing finally expressed his position, but left some room. "I will stick to your strategy first, but you can write down everyone's ideas and rank them according to practicality, logistics reserves, and the accumulation of merits of each battalion head.

Let them do whatever you have left."

This plan is smooth and it basically agrees with everyone's unanimous opinion. However, the leading leaders present, Wei Xuanding, Chen Bin, Xiong Bonan, Xu Shiying, Chai Xiaohe, Shan Tonghai, including the first time they came here, did not say a word during the whole process.

Hong Changya couldn't help but glance at Chief Zhang.

They realized Zhang Xing's basic attitude on today's core issues. Zhang Xing really didn't want to expand the war now. Otherwise, how could he leave any room if he directly rejected these strange requests?

"Go ahead, do you have any other proposals?" Zhang Xing continued to ask.

"There is also the matter of garrison points..." Xu Shiying continued. "Before, each battalion was located in various places, but now that we have started a war with Great Britain, should we put the main force first, or simply concentrate all of them on the front line?
To be continued...
