Simple truths are always ignored by people, and the accumulated grievances over the years make many people instinctively feel that there is an irreconcilable contradiction and absolute opposition between the inspectors and the inspectors who have new functions. But in Shen Hao's opinion, it was not the case.
Li Jiang and Zhang Ye were stunned for a moment, and then there was a thoughtful expression on their faces. They must have been awakened by Shen Hao's words "Why do you want to mess with them?"
Yes, after the adjustment, the supervisory envoy has more powers to "supervise and supervise the army" instead of opposing the supervisory army. The little tricks they do in secret are completely meaningless. You only need to keep an eye on them.
"The army is like a flock of sheep, the supervisor is like a sheepdog, and what we have to do is the rope in His Majesty's hand that leads the sheepdog. Do you understand?"
The military might look like wolves rather than sheep to the outside world, but in the eyes of civil servants, they are treated like sheep. In this case, why should the supervisors used by civil servants to restrain the sheep be compared to sheepdogs? On the contrary, it is just right. And what the emperor wants to do now is to put ropes on these sheepdogs?
Shen Hao, would you mind making a rope? This is not important. What is important is that if he does not handle the rope properly, he will die.
He briefly communicated with Li Jiang and Zhang Ye. In fact, it did not involve any specific deployment. Shen Hao just shared some of his ideas with the two of them. After returning to the hall, Shen Hao smiled and gave some encouraging and impressive words to all the officials. and made commitments on key issues.
"In terms of establishment, the supervisory envoy here still follows the old establishment scale. The upper level is temporarily under our Fengri City Black Flag Camp, but both sides perform their own duties and do not affect each other. The higher level is naturally the Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen. So you have now changed from the Xuanqing Guard establishment in Jingdong to Jingxi, please be clear about this."
The most critical and most concerning issue is the ownership of your own establishment. Because the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City is a mysterious "pilot deputy thousand household establishment", which is half a level lower than the supervisory establishment of the southern frontier army. It would be a disaster if it were automatically reduced by half a level or one level.
Fortunately, the hundreds of households present here, as well as Li Jiang and Zhang Ye, felt a big stone in their hearts at this time, and the eyes they looked at Shen Hao were a little less uneasy. At least the evil star brings good news so far.
After staying at the supervisory envoy's residence in Haixia for an hour, Shen Hao teleported from Haixia to Tanshi, where the official residence of the supervisory envoy was located.
The pony accompanying you will take care of your daily chores. Shen Hao led the people to his private room.
Compared with the thousands-household residence in Fengri City, the public houses here are obviously much simpler. The ventilation inside was not good, and it was so hot that Shen Hao had to take out a fan to cool himself down.
He sat down and took a sip of herbal tea before saying, "Did you get the note for Zuo Shuai?"
Zhang Ye and Li Jiang stood at the starting position. After hearing this, Zhang Ye said first: "Return to your lord, I have already handed it over. It should be at the Daoxing General Manager's Yamen now."
The two deputy Qianhu are now Shen Hao's right and left deputies on the border army supervisory side. Zhang Ye is responsible for Tanshi and Haixia areas, while Li Jiang is responsible for Zhuohuo Pass and matters outside the pass. In the past, Zhang Ye's errands were more important, but now Li Jiang's errands are more important.
"I've seen your documents. Zhang Qianhu has been here for six years, and Li Qianhu has been here for eleven years. You are both old hands here. Tell me about Zuo Shuai, before we meet. There is a bottom line.”
This time it was Li Jiang who spoke first. He felt that he had more say in Zuo Yuliang than Zhang Ye, the "unreliable Xing Jin".
"Sir, Commander Zuo is a resolute man, but he is more elegant than ordinary warriors. He is also a rare person in the army who has both civil and military skills. This is very similar to you, sir." After flattering him, he continued. Said: "Commander Zuo has always been very tough on military strategy. A common saying is, "The military situation is changing rapidly, how can there be any immutable principle in the use of troops? "I have always scorned the practice of supervisors who like to make plans in advance and then carry them out.
Therefore, you can often hear about conflicts between Commander Zuo and the supervisors. "
Zhang Ye on the side also said: "However, although the supervisors are very dissatisfied with Zuo Shuai, they still have no choice but to attack Zuo Shuai's generals, and Zuo Shuai has to be more careful in order to protect his men. Compromise. However, after the recent changes in the Ministry of War, Commander Zuo has become more stubborn. Half a month ago, a supervisor who entered the big tent without a roll call was directly beaten to death with an 80-year-old military stick. This matter is still causing trouble now.
I also heard that Commander Zuo and Mr. Wen, the newly appointed Minister of War Zuo Shilang, are from the same hometown and have a good relationship, and they have also worked together in the military. "
This latter one is just a piece of gossip. Shen Hao had never heard anyone say that there was any personal relationship between Zuo Yuliang and Wen Mingju before, but the two did serve in the army in the same place for a period of time, but the intersection was very short, less than a year, it seems? But since the southern frontier army is spreading this gossip, maybe it can be relied on?
"Tell me about the incident where Zuo Shuai killed the supervisor with his stick. Please tell me more carefully."
"It's your Excellency. There were many people who witnessed it. Zuo Shuai wanted to spread the word to others, so he dragged the person to the school grounds for execution. It is said that the person died when he was beaten with more than forty sticks, but After eighty sticks, the body was rotten.
The reason was simply that one of the supervisors entered the Chinese army's tent without waiting for the guards to call his name and announced his home. According to military regulations, this is a serious crime and requires beheading, but Commander Zuo said that for the first time he committed an offense, he would be given an eighty-year-long cane so that he would have a better memory. The rest of the supervisors pleaded for mercy to no avail. "
Good guy, Shen Haoxu blinked and thought to himself that Zuo Yuliang is really a cruel person. The eighty stick is also a word of death for the supervisors who have no cultivation or the first or second level of Qi refining. Compared with beheading, death is much more painful. This kind of rhetoric can be said to be a kind of "remembering the first offender", but it still sounds like "I spared your life, but you can't bear the military stick yourself, so you deserve to die."
"The rules in the army are strict. The supervisor should die if he breaks into the Chinese army's tent without permission. What's so fussy about this?"
"My lord, you don't know something. In the past, the supervisors could come and go as they pleased in the central army, and they were never punished because they did not have a guard to roll call. This time, one person was killed with a stick as soon as he came up. What was killed was his energy and his right to speak, so Those supervisors are making a big fuss."
After asking and answering questions, Shen Hao not only gained an understanding of Zuo Yuliang's style, but also gained a general understanding of his two lieutenants.
In the evening, Shen Hao received an order from the general manager of the Southern Military Affairs Department, saying that the general manager Zuo Yuliang ordered him to go to the Chinese army's tent at Zhuohuo Pass immediately.
Shen Hao did not dare to delay. He took a few personal guards and left the official residence under the leadership of Zhang Ye and Li Jiang, then went to the teleportation circle in Tanshi to Zhuohuo Pass.
When passing through Tanshi Teleportation Array, Shen Hao also met Wu Kai, an acquaintance who was still staying there, but neither of them had much conversation.
