"I know the principal's humble position!"
Mr. Dai nodded and bowed to retreat.
"Wait!"
Suddenly the principal spoke quietly, causing Mr. Dai to stand up and sit back down again.
"I remember there was an interesting person on your information?"
"Yes, principal. That man's name is Zhao Ming, and he is the director of Chahar Ranch."
"Tell me the details of this person."
"this....."
Mr. Dai was a little hesitant, and after a moment's hesitation he hurriedly said, "Principal, this Zhao Ming was previously serving under Marshal Feng.
But the strange thing is that this person's well-documented experience in the war was less than half a year, and in just half a year, he participated in the Battle of Fengxiang, the suppression of bandits, and the grassland.
Traveling hundreds of kilometers from Guanzhong to Chahar is really bizarre!
According to our investigation, we learned that this person did not have much contact with his chief officer in Shaanxi Province, Song Zhe, but this time he was appointed by Song Zhe to be sent to the grassland...
I guess this person may not be as simple as he appears. He probably has some inexplicable relationship with Song Zhe! "
The principal listened carefully, nodding slightly from time to time, nodding for a moment, and then nodded with a smile.
"Not bad! Your guess is right, this Zhao Ming is probably Song Zhe's.
But the relationship is hard to say!
Let's do this. Call Shanxi and Chahar. Zhao Ming has done meritorious service in defending the territory. Zhao Ming is temporarily appointed as the deputy commander of the left wing of Chahar and Chahar North area to control Outer Mongolia.
The military rank is temporarily promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel. If there are additional military exploits after the war, this military rank will be promoted! "
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Dai was horrified and couldn't help but look at the principal in astonishment.
"Principal, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle!"
Although just over half a month ago, the principal had returned to the center of power and was ranked as the top leader of the Nanjing authorities. He was also the commander-in-chief of the First Army, with jurisdiction over several provinces.
In name, Yan Laoxi and other warlords declared their surrender to Nanjing, but this was only on the surface.
In fact, each of these warlords is equivalent to a small court internally. The appointment in Nanjing is not useless, but it depends on whether others recognize it.
"If it's hard to handle, then it has to be done! Do I care what they want?"
The principal snorted softly, "And this is a clever move, isn't it? I think the relationship between Zhao Ming and Zhao Ming is very ambiguous.
So why should we promise a job at random? "
These words made Mr. Dai feel like he had seen the light of day. He smiled and nodded, "I understand what you mean, principal. This is a wonderful move!"
If done properly, although it may not be very useful, it is really disgusting to both of them. "
He knew very well that there was bound to be a fight between the principal and Marshal Feng and Marshal Yan, and it would be good to have an indirect impact on the relationship between the two.
"Now that I know, let's do it. It's still comfortable to chat with you. There are many things that don't need to be said again."
The principal nodded with satisfaction, these intelligence people have very vivid minds.
At first glance, it seems that this is just a reward for meritorious officials, but Zhao Ming's situation is special, and the effect is different.
This is similar to the situation during the ancient Three Kingdoms period.
Cao Cao single-handedly coerced the emperor to reward the peripheral generals and princes by ordering the princes. Sometimes, he could easily sow discord with this hand.
Today's Nanjing is almost the same, it is already the nominal capital.
It's not clear whether it has any specific effect, but it doesn't matter. It's just a random arrangement.
But this time he did remember this young man named Zhao Ming.
Very young, and seems to be very capable in the military, but other than that... nothing!
This is normal. For such big figures, there are few things that really deserve their attention. At least Zhao Ming, a battalion-level and regiment-level official like Zhao Ming, cannot get on the stage at all.
——
On the other side, Wang Er, Lao Suntou and the brothers who came with them were being held in a house.
It's not accurate to say it's detention, it's more like surveillance, restricting personal freedom.
"Old Sun, you have a lot of experience. Can you tell us that nothing will happen to us?" Wang Er paced back and forth in the room, feeling very unsure at this moment.
As they entered the city, all their weapons were confiscated, and after explaining the situation, they were directly imprisoned here. This was somewhat unexpected.
"Brother Wang, I don't have any experience in this area!"
Old Sun Tou also had a depressed look on his face, but he was actually not much better than Wang Er in his heart. He was very uneasy.
But at this time, the Dutong Mansion was in another situation.
"Adjutant Ren, tell me, how should we deal with them now? We were asked to deal with them by ourselves at the top, but how can we deal with them at will now?"
Zhang Li was extremely confused.
Adjutant Ren, who was also on the side, also frowned. This matter was more difficult than he imagined.
Coincidentally!
Zhao Ming happened to send someone over, and new instructions came from Nanjing. But after calling Marshal Yan, Marshal Yan replied that they decided on their own.
That’s what I say, but how can I make such a decision easily?
The anger of Marshal Yan can be imagined. The Jinsui Army suffered an inexplicable defeat on the grassland. However, the news was known to Nanjing in advance. As Marshal Yan Laoxi, he did not know until he was reminded by Nanjing.
However, the expected reprimand did not appear. Instead, a vague action plan like "You decide on your own" was thrown out.
It is conceivable that if it is not handled properly, Zhang Li's position as Chahar's top leader will definitely be gone.
Before the new official takes office, he will have to step down. This will definitely cause a big stain on Zhang Li's official career.
As an adjutant, Adjutant Ren naturally did not want to see this scene. Zhang Li was miserable, and he would not be any better.
The top official in a province was considered a frontier official in ancient times. This kind of position cannot be given up easily.
Therefore, he is more anxious than Zhang Li now.
His mind was running rapidly, not to mention that he actually came up with a countermeasure after racking his brains.
"Sir, I think this is not only a bad thing, but a good thing!"
"A good thing? What kind of good thing?"
Hearing this, Zhang Li immediately became a little unhappy.
"Is it possible that you still can't see it? This is Nanjing's treacherous plan. This is a mockery of our Yan Marshal side!
What's more serious is that it will affect our relationship with Marshal Feng. It's not like you don't know the relationship between Marshal Yan and Marshal Feng.
They seem to have a good relationship, but in fact, most of them are just superficial relationships now.
Now that there is an appointment in Nanjing, doesn't this mean that we are treating our meritorious ministers badly? And this meritorious minister is still a member of Marshal Feng!
This is murderous and heart-breaking! "
Adjutant Ren rolled his eyes and immediately said with a smile, "But sir, why don't we just follow the trend?"
"Following the trend?" Zhang Li was suspicious.
Adjutant Ren nodded, "Of course! Since Nanjing wants to appoint someone, why don't we appoint him first?"
"What's the meaning?"
