Su Yonglin had a premonition.
He feels that this rectification movement is just a prelude to the next rectification movement, and the next rectification movement may be in the not too distant future.
If those "Jiangnan old men" view what he did with this attitude, then the final break between the two parties is just a matter of time.
If more and more people hold this view, then a larger-scale rectification movement will be brewing.
He was sad that his comrades who fought with him finally came to oppose him, but when that day comes, he will do his best without hesitation to completely defeat them.
Then, you must be mentally prepared from now on, lest you become too soft-hearted and unable to take action.
"Are there many old people in Jiangnan who hold this concept?"
Su Yonglin asked Su Yin.
Su Yin nodded.
"Many, what is known so far accounts for more than one-third of the number. As for the others, I don't know. People's hearts are far away from each other. What they are thinking in their hearts, even though my subordinates try their best, they can't. Will know."
"Too."
Su Yonglin sighed, stood up slowly, walked outside the palace gate, looked at the bright moonlight outside, and sighed deeply.
"I really don't want them to look at what I want to do in this way. I really feel very disappointed. Do they think they deserve the highest status and the greatest power because they were the first to participate in this vigorous operation?" ?"
"Actually, it's not strange for subordinates to think that they would be so emotional. They may have thought this way from the beginning. They may have never realized that it was to pull them out of the quagmire and allow them to learn culture and start to walk on the road to success. This way.”
Su Yin said something fair.
Of course Su Yonglin thought so too.
He didn't feel strange about this. In their position, it was actually normal to have such emotions, because no matter what, Su Yonglin could not satisfy their "hopes".
Su Yonglin was just disappointed.
He was disappointed with the veteran team he had taught.
But if you think about it carefully, this might be something that is bound to happen.
The team he led did not go through too fierce a struggle, and the disadvantage did not last long. Three years later, it turned into a strong force, and the loss rate of its core members was greatly reduced.
Therefore, his team did not go through rounds of passive screening and replenishment, resulting in a situation where only the warriors among warriors survived.
The original team of more than 700 people are still alive and holding positions more than ten years later, with nearly 300 people still holding positions. The loss rate is almost 60%.
Compared with the large losses caused by the era of drastic changes, this loss rate is actually quite mild.
So the reality is that after rounds of talent education and selection, many of the young talents who stand out are far more capable than these old people.
Frankly speaking, these Jiangnan old men were all born bankrupt farmers. What they later did with the Su family was licking blood and making salt. They were not from extraordinary backgrounds, nor were they elites who had received elite education since childhood.
They just received education earlier and had more knowledge, but the upper limit of their talents has been revealed during the revolution.
They are not suppressed. Those with practical talents have already stood out in the war and have become high-level military and political leaders. Those who have not stood out are just because they really do not have the talent to take on important positions and can only stay there.
It is impossible for Su Yonglin to hand over important positions of real power to them and let them do bad things just for the so-called care of the elderly.
But they don't seem to have enough self-awareness, and they have begun to become feudal from the bottom of their hearts. They have begun to follow the old path of the feudal dynasty from the Dragon Minister, and want to get what they "deserve".
So Su Yonglin was very angry.
"They have changed, changed a lot, and I don't recognize them anymore. Why do they think that leaders want to suppress them because they came from behind? Why do they think I am worried that they threaten my status? "
Su Yin thought for a while and came to his own opinion.
"Qiao Feng explained before that when some Jiangnan old people repeatedly found it difficult to get promoted, they couldn't help but feel resentful, and it was not strange for them to have similar thoughts."
Su Yonglin was silent for a while, then walked back to his seat and sat down, rubbing his temples.
"They have gradually come to truly regard me as an emperor, and they also truly regard themselves as the master of this country. In the final analysis, the old era has not passed, and the new era has not really arrived yet.
Half of their bodies are in the new era, and half of their bodies are in the old era. I tried my best to pull them to the new era, but in the end I was only half successful. They still have those big meat-eating and gold-spinning scales in their heads. The idea can even be said to be deep-rooted. "
Su Yin agreed.
"This idea may be deeply ingrained in the minds of quite a few people because they were born and raised here. The revolution of just ten years may not be enough to change everything."
"It's impossible to change everything. Otherwise, how could they view what I want to do from the perspective of a power struggle? I took them north to Shandong to start a revolution, just for power?"
Su Yonglin said angrily: "Where are you? They can't help but pursue glory and wealth and become a family with hereditary power? The world has not yet been unified, the revolution has just begun, and they are here asking for land and property! No! See if your ability can match it!"
"That's what you think, but they will never think that you simply think that way. They will only draw the conclusions they can. They don't understand your public heart."
Su Yin lowered his face and whispered: "So I think that we cannot be lenient when dealing with such people who have completely degenerated. We should strike first and deal with them all. We must not let them continue to remain in leadership positions." To bad things.”
"no."
Su Yonglin shook his head: "They just said this and did not take any substantive actions. I can't even deny them the right to speak. They can speak, but I must draw a red line to tell them what they can and cannot do." can do."
"Aren't you going to deal with them?"
Su Yin was eager to try: "If you allow it, I will immediately send someone to keep an eye on them to see what they are going to do and what they have in mind. It is also good to nip it in the bud. Now I feel more and more that Ming's inner circle is in trouble. In this central capital city.
If something trivial happens in Zhongdu City, it will be magnified to the local level. If there is one corrupt official in Zhongdu City, there will be dozens of corrupt officials in the local area. If the officials in Zhongdu City cannot be purged and the source of the corruption is rectified, the entire Ming Dynasty will be destroyed. affected. "
Su Yonglin thought for a while and nodded slowly.
"What you said makes sense. You can send people to keep an eye on it, but don't act rashly. After this lesson, I think there is a high possibility that they will just talk about it and not really take action."
"Preventing problems before they happen is the core of the work of the Tianwang Army's Internal Affairs Department. I have already failed in my duty once. If it happens a second time, I will not be able to forgive myself."
Su Yin obviously still felt very guilty for this dereliction of duty.
Although Su Yonglin did not deal with him and only gave him a symbolic penalty of three months' salary, it was enough to make him feel uncomfortable and itchy all over.
Since he had the motivation, Su Yonglin thought he could do it this way.
Take precautions before they happen and prevent them from causing things like Qiao Feng and Lu Dian again, causing turmoil throughout the country.
When his energy was unable to cope with all aspects, Su Yin stared at this group of people on his behalf, which was better than doing nothing.
Of course, although Su Yonglin successfully resolved the political crisis, he himself also felt that a rift had appeared between him and the "Jiangnan old men" who were the first to participate in the revolution. This rift would intensify with the passage of time and conflicts in the years to come. , and continue to expand.
One day, Su Yonglin will inevitably face a cruel choice.
