Everything that needs to be discussed has been discussed, and the Ming army must also prepare for the attack on the city tomorrow.
The Southern Song Dynasty court was still unwilling to surrender completely and still wanted to resist, so it was impossible not to deal with them severely.
Zhang Yuejing assigned personal tasks and asked everyone to go about their work separately.
As Zhou Zhi walked, he called Chen Qiaoshan to stop him.
"You kid joined the revival meeting quietly?"
Chen Qiaoshan looked at Zhou Zhi with a traitorous expression.
"What's wrong? It doesn't work? At that time, the commander personally recommended me to take classes in a cram school. I have taken classes intermittently in the past few years. I took three exams and passed them all, so I joined the Renaissance Association."
Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "We are the only few officers of our level in the army who have not joined the revival association, right? I heard someone said that someone asked you to go to class, but you never went. Why don't you go? Don't you like it?"
Chen Qiaoshan touched his head.
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I think I'm not the material. As you know, when we were still following the old commander, I couldn't read. Although I can read now, I'm still interested in military books. Let me read other books. Book, might as well kill me.
Besides, I always feel that this revival will involve government affairs. Shouldn’t we who lead troops and fight in war should stay away from government affairs? The Ming Dynasty was also governed by civil and military divisions. Are you not afraid of getting into trouble by getting involved in government affairs like this? "
Zhou Zhi suddenly felt baffled.
"Getting into trouble? Why?"
"We have different backgrounds after all."
Chen Qiaoshan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and said: "After all, we are under the command of the old commander. We are not the old troops who followed His Majesty at the beginning, nor were we recruited later. Now we have become military generals. Originally, It's eye-catching enough, but you are eager to get in front of others, aren't you making yourself miserable?"
"What you said is interesting."
Zhou Zhi looked at Chen Qiaoshan: "I really didn't realize that you, a tough guy, have quite a delicate mind, right?"
"The person leading the army must be a little jealous, right?"
Chen Qiaoshan whispered: "As the saying goes, be careful when sailing a thousand-year-old ship, especially those leading troops, so why not be even more careful?"
"But that's not the place for you to be so careful."
Zhou Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "In the Ming army, we are the only ones who came from the old commander's old army? Strictly speaking, weren't we, the Ming Emperor, also the old commander's subordinates at the beginning? Which of the five tiger generals now is not the old commander's subordinate? They all You have to be just as careful not to get involved in revival meetings, right?
Let me tell you, Li Xiao joined the Renaissance the year before last. I only joined last year. He was earlier than me, and now he is also among the Five Tiger Generals and making people laugh. Why, he dares, you Don't dare? Besides, let's go down. How many division commanders and brigade commanders in the army are not in our original army, haven't they all joined the Renaissance? "
"This...isn't this not good?"
Guxian
"What's not so good? Your secretary brings Fuxing members to meetings every day to discuss things, but he excludes you. Aren't you uncomfortable? Everyone gathers for meetings, exchanges of feelings, and talks about things that don't exist. It's really interesting. , Aren’t you feeling uncomfortable?
And our majesty... our chairman will occasionally write a few articles and post them. We read them together, talk about our thoughts together, talk about the past and present things, and look forward to the future. Those are all thoughts in the past. Things I dare not think about. . "
Zhou Zhi patted Chen Qiaoshan on the shoulder and advised: "Let me tell you, in the revival meeting, we don't pay attention to family background, but pay attention to what we are, and pay attention to being a comrade. What is a comrade? People who share the same goals are called comrades. We have a common goal. If we share the same philosophy, it doesn’t matter where we are from.
I won’t say anything else about your kid, but he just likes to think about it, thinking left and right, and he can come up with any problem for you. I advise you to go to class and contact the revival organization in your army. , let’s talk, don’t be afraid, what are you afraid of? The revival meeting will not eat you! "
Chen Qiaoshan frowned and thought about it.
"What you said is interesting...but I just don't understand. Our Majesty already has the Ming Dynasty, so why does he need a revival meeting?"
"When selecting officials in the Ming Dynasty, you only need to pass the exam. The Renaissance Society not only needs to pass the exam, but also needs to pass multiple rounds of interviews. It's very strict, let me tell you!"
Zhou Zhi whispered: "And recently I heard that the club is undergoing serious rectification to make up for the mistakes of relaxing the standards in the past few years in order to increase the number of people. As far as I heard, last month, there were almost more than a hundred people." People were fired because they failed the assessment."
"So strict?"
Chen Qiaoshan thought for a while and whispered: "Do you really not care about your background? Do you really not want to be involved in government affairs?"
"The Renaissance Association is also divided into departments. Just like the imperial court, the Renaissance Association also has a military affairs department, which is in charge of organizational affairs in the army and does not interfere in political affairs. Do you think we are all fools? We can't manage military affairs. Every day Training and combat tasks are so heavy, how can you bother to interfere in government affairs? Do you understand government affairs? You are worrying about it!"
Zhou Zhi shook his head and said: "You are just thinking too much. Let me tell you, although the Renaissance Association does not have any concept of forced membership and is still driving people out, there are many people joining the Renaissance Association now, and the largest number are from our army. People here, this is quite meaningful.
And let me tell you, there was a division commander in the Yanyun Corps who was expelled from his membership for divorcing his wife and remarrying. As a result, he returned to the army and was boycotted by the division instructor and all the officers and instructors of the revival members. Leave him alone. No matter how great his achievements were, no one listened to him anymore. In the end, he ran home in despair and resigned. "
"this……"
"If you don't think about anything else, you have to think about yourself. As far as I'm concerned, the Renaissance is a very interesting organization. As long as everyone believes in you, they will believe in you and have no reservations about you. But if you do If you do something wrong and you are fired, no one will believe you anymore."
Zhou Zhi sighed: "So it is really important to restrain one's behavior. I have a deep understanding now. Coupled with some things that happened before, I feel more and more that there is an extra layer of restraints on the revival membership. In fact, it is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it’s a good thing.”
"this……"
"What are you afraid of? We are both from poor backgrounds. I am a poor farmer and you are a showman. What's inappropriate?"
Zhou Zhi smiled and patted Chen Qiaoshan on the shoulder.
Chen Qiaoshan was stunned for a while, then laughed and slapped Zhou Zhi's hand away.
"What kind of showman? Be polite, that's a gangster! You rely on your ability to make a living! If you don't steal or rob, who will you offend?"
"Yes, yes, you decide for yourself!"
Zhou Zhi waved his hand and went back to work.
