After leaving Zhao Kaishan's mansion, Su Yonglin returned to his residence.
I originally planned to take a rest, but Xin Qiji came to the door.
"Su Shuai, what happened during the day, I..."
"I understand what you mean."
Su Yonglin sat at the table, took a sip of water, and pointed to his side: "Sit down."
"Here."
Xin Qiji sat down and looked at Su Yonglin: "Su Shuai, what happened during the day, what do you really think?"
Su Yonglin was silent for a while.
"You'an, you are my counselor now. Please tell me your opinion first."
"This is dangerous."
Xin Qiji looked serious: "The Liberation Army has just begun to take shape, and it is just when it is trying its best to develop its career. As a result, two of the three main leaders have a rift, and there are faint signs of a tit-for-tat struggle for power. This is definitely not a good thing, and something may happen."
Looking at the majestic eighteen-year-old young man in front of him, Su Yonglin smiled.
"You'an, you need to change the way you speak. You can't be so frank and direct. It's okay for me. If you still say this to other people, you will soon have no foothold."
Xin Qiji frowned.
"Did your subordinate make a mistake?"
"No."
"Then why can't you say that?"
"Because many people don't like to hear the truth, they only like to listen to the situation."
"…………"
Xin Qiji frowned and was silent for a while, then said angrily: "This is wrong."
"Of course it's wrong, but if everyone is wrong and you are the only one who is right, and you don't want to go with the crowd, then in the eyes of everyone, you will be the only one who made a mistake."
Su Yonglin poured a glass of water and handed it to Xin Qiji.
"As the number of the Liberation Army increases, various disputes will naturally arise. This is the first time, but it will never be the last. There will definitely be more intense disputes in the future."
Xin Qiji took the water glass from Su Yonglin's hand with some hesitation.
"What does Su Shuai mean?"
"I tried my best to mediate, but I only managed to restore the friendship between Commander-in-Chief Sun and Commander-in-Chief Sun, and each took a step back. However, the rift between the two has been buried. It won't be long before the conflict of interests will still make the two of them confront each other. Unless Who among them is willing to back down.”
Su Yonglin sighed helplessly: "Right now, the golden thieves are the biggest enemy, so the commander-in-chief and Sun Tongzhi can still take into account the threat of the golden thieves and join hands to fight against the enemy. If one day our army defeats the golden thieves' regular army, occupy the entire In Shandong and even Damingfu, the situation is completely different.
At present, the generals know that they did not fight against regular soldiers, but only defeated some miscellaneous troops, so they are still fully wary of the gold thieves, but if they really win and achieve some great achievements and achievements, the internal Conflict will surely break out. "
Su Yonglin in Xin Qiji's eyes was full of worry.
"Regardless of whether the Liberation Army can really defeat the main force of the Golden Thieves, I don't want to see my former comrades-in-arms facing each other with swords. But if it really happens, how should I make a decision?"
Xin Qiji understood that as one of the three giants of the Liberation Army, Su Yonglin was the one who paid the most attention to reconciliation.
Facing two allies with inflated power desires, especially one of whom is the commander-in-chief of the Liberation Army, this kind of dispute will put Su Yonglin in a very embarrassing situation.
At this thought, Xin Qiji couldn't help but speak.
"In this case, why didn't Commander Su make plans early and contact the Song Dynasty? Since the dispute was bound to break out, Commander Su should prepare in advance and prepare a retreat. He couldn't just let things happen and treat it as if it hadn't happened. The Liberation Army couldn't The look of success.”
Su Yonglin heard this and looked at Xin Qiji's young face with extremely serious eyes.
"I would rather believe that the Liberation Army can finally go straight to Huanglong and completely wipe out the golden thieves than that the Song Kingdom really wants to regain the Central Plains. You'an, I don't trust the Song Kingdom. I would rather die in the Central Plains! Being quartered by the golden thieves! Go south and return to the Song Dynasty! There is no need to mention the matter of returning to the Song Dynasty again!"
Su Yonglin's words completely aroused Xin Qiji's doubts.
Why does Su Yonglin distrust the Song Dynasty so much?
Because of what happened to General Yue and what his grandfather experienced?
Vaguely, Xin Qiji felt that the problem might not be that simple.
There must be other reasons why Su Yonglin dislikes the Song Dynasty so much.
But at this moment, Xin Qiji was not in a hurry to ask.
Su Yonglin had a peaceful sleep and started making preparations to leave Yidu and return to Jinan early the next morning.
But Zhao Kaishan didn't seem to intend to let him leave peacefully.
Zhao Kaishan did a big thing.
Not long after Su Yonglin had breakfast, Zhao Kaishan called him to a meeting, saying it was a military meeting.
When Su Yonglin arrived, he saw that the main generals of the Liberation Army were all present. At the meeting, Zhao Kaishan seemed to be talking about improving the organizational structure of the Liberation Army.
He believes that the Liberation Army is not what it used to be and needs to make some changes.
The rather "local" titles such as big commanders and small commanders should be abolished.
If the Liberation Army wants to be formalized, it should have more clear and formal titles. Then Zhao Kaishan came up with some very formal titles that he had worked out overnight.
For example, Zhao Kaishan himself still calls himself the General Manager of Shandong, but he has changed the name of the leader of the Liberation Army.
I don’t know if he created it himself, but he claimed to be the leader of the Liberation Army.
He wanted all the soldiers of the Liberation Army to call him Commander-in-Chief from now on, a title that only he had.
Then he gave the two main generals under his command, Su Yonglin and Sun Tzu Yi, the titles of Hussar General and Chariot General respectively.
Su Yonglin is the hussar general.
Sun Tzu Yi was the general of chariots and cavalry.
These two general numbers are very ancient and noble general numbers. They are both titles from the outstanding generals who stood out during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's counterattack against the Huns.
Now handing it over to Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi is obviously a recognition of their contribution.
If this matter is limited to this and Zhao Kaishan declares it over, then both Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi can define this matter as a compromise made by Zhao Kaishan.
But unfortunately, this is not a compromise.
Because Zhao Kaishan then made a large number of generals, and some generals under Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi who had made military exploits from landlords and gentry were also made generals.
Basically, they are all generals starting with the word Wu and generals related to the word Wu, such as General Wude, General Wuxin, General Wuyi, General Zhongwu, General Zhuangwu, etc.
There was no change in the leadership of Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi. They still commanded their current armies. There was no change in the other subordinates. They still each carried their own original forces.
It’s just that everyone has the title of general and has become a general.
Su Yonglin is a general, Sun Tzu Yi is also a general, and their subordinates are also generals. There are different positions, but all subordinates are called generals.
The only difference is that Zhao Kaishan himself is the leader.
In the Liberation Army, there is only one commander, Zhao Kaishan, and the others are all generals.
In this way, the entire command level of the Liberation Army was divided into two levels.
Zhao Kaishan, the leader, and generals other than Zhao Kaishan.
In this way, Zhao Kaishan's status was artificially divided into a unique position in the entire army, which was completely different from the previous model of the three giants.
Although it is more of a symbolic meaning now, as long as Zhao Kaishan continues to make contributions and win battles, this symbolic meaning will become practical sooner or later.
Being a general is of course a good thing. Except for Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi, anyone who can be a general is a surprise.
In terms of dissatisfaction, probably the most dissatisfied person is Sun Ziyi.
Su Yonglin looked at Sun Ziyi.
Sure enough, Sun Ziyi looked bad.
