After drinking tea for a while, Wang Xiaolie said: "You have a good relationship with the governor. In my opinion, a very important reason is that you know what the governor does. In many armies, two chief officers compete for power. The commander thinks that I can do the job of the supervisor, and the supervisor thinks that I can do the job of the commander, so no one obeys the other. The order is issued by the headquarters. If neither of the two chief officers obeys, it will naturally affect the headquarters. operation."
Zhang Jun said sheepishly: "To be honest with Xuanfu, I have not spent much time in the army, and I really can't figure out why the two chief officers are fighting for power."
Wang Xiaolie said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know. Just don't fight. This time, the leader of the new recruits was actually trained by you before the governor came to your army. Judging from the case you wrote, for the leader My new recruits have a lot of experience in how to deal with the relationship between officers and soldiers. After I go back, I will write it in more detail and then improve it. I will use your case as a blueprint to formulate the regulations of the capital prison."
After hearing this, Zhang Jun hurriedly said: "Ah, but I am the controller!"
Wang Xiaolie smiled and said, "But I think it's more appropriate for you to be the governor."
Zhang Jun smiled bitterly: "I haven't figured out how to be a commander yet, so I have to change my position to a governor?"
Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "I'm not asking you to be the governor, but to be the governor."
Zhang Jun said: "But our army already has a commander-in-chief."
Wang Xiaolie said: "I am not the commander of your division, but I am going to the east of the river to be the commander of Jiang Min. Jiang Min's army has been expanded into a division. It has been very hard in the past six months. And Jiang Min has a brain. He understands, but he doesn't like dealing with people. Let him manage the army, he can do it, but it is too hard."
Zhang Jun was stunned after hearing this.
There are two special people among Wang Xiaolie's men. One is Zhang Jun himself, and the other is Jiang Min. Both of them joined Wang Xiaolie's army at the age of fifteen. It can be said that they grew up in the army and were deeply influenced by Wang Xiaolie. Many habits were formed under the influence of Wang Xiaolie, as were many opinions. Moreover, both of them are very smart, have clear minds and know the right measures.
If we must compare, Jiang Min is smarter, harder working, and restrained. Zhang Jun has an open personality, is bold in doing things, and is not bound by rules.
Wang Xiaolie understood that if he cultivated his own cronies, it would be equivalent to dividing the army into two parts. Some of them are trusted by me, and some are not trusted so much. Those who are not trusted by themselves will inevitably find other ways, and the army will be divided.
Therefore, Wang Xiaolie has always had no confidants, whether in the army or in the government. Their relatives, such as Wang Zhong, asked them to withdraw early. If you don't have your own cronies, the entire army will be your own cronies. No one is particularly trustworthy before everyone can be trusted. Only in this way can the unity of the army and the government be maintained.
Even if this truth is explained clearly, many people still don’t understand it. There are even fewer people who can do it.
Although they have no close confidants, Jiang Min and Zhang Jun eventually grew up from children to adults by their side, so their feelings are naturally different. Jiang Min is very careful and can't help but take care of all the big and small things in the army. It was no longer easy to build an army of three thousand, but when it expanded to twenty thousand, the body was overwhelmed. At this time, Zhang Jun showed his ability to manage the army, which made Wang Xiaolie overjoyed.
Wang Xiaolie placed great hopes on the army east of Hedong. Jiang Min has been by his side for many years, and no one knows exactly what kind of army he needs like him. There is no one like him who can do this faithfully. It's just that one person's ability is limited. If Wang Xiaolie's requirements are followed, Jiang Min can't do it alone. Even if they were exhausted, it would be difficult to build this army according to Wang Xiaolie's requirements.
At this time, Zhang Jun was able to train a street boy into a leader among the soldiers in a short period of time, which was particularly important to Wang Xiaolie. In particular, after reading the cases written by Zhang Jun, it can be clearly seen that he knows what collective honor means and how to use collective honor to train soldiers.
Collective honor, these four words are not just words. Why must class laws be abolished? Because class law runs counter to collective honor and violates human ethics.
After the abolition of class laws, if military management is to be easy, there must be collective honor.
reputation. It is not about letting officers speak, but about permeating collective honor into the military system and life, into every aspect, and into the blood of soldiers. Let them know that for the sake of collective honor, heads can be cut off and blood can be shed.
There is no point in talking about these things, they have to be done. And it needs to be done from top to bottom, and officers must do it first. Once Wang Xiaolie thinks that collective honor is a tool, just a means for him to manage the army, then this method will be ineffective.
Many things in this world are like this. There are many methods and principles, but it is actually not difficult. The difficult thing is whether those in power can do it themselves. When some people are in power, they always set rules for others and want others to listen to them. At the same time, I don’t want to be bound by rules and can do whatever I want. And some people make rules, starting with me first. It's just that there are too few people like this.
What to do to succeed? In fact, both types of people may succeed. It's just that the latter type of person is more likely to succeed and appears more invulnerable.
Wang Xiaolie said to his sister that night, how much I want to be free, ignore the rules and do whatever I want. Because Wang Xiaolie chose to start with himself, so many rules constrained himself first.
The world is a stage. Wang Xiaolie has chosen his role and must play it seriously.
Zhang Jun sat there, lowered his head, and thought about it for a long time. He raised his head, looked at Wang Xiaolie, and asked seriously: "Does Xuan Fu trust me?"
Wang Xiaolie smiled but said nothing. After a long time, he shook his head.
Zhang Jundao: "I think that's the case. Over the years, I have been working under Xuanfu and have seen a lot of Xuanfu's way of doing things. I can guess how Xuanfu would do many things, but I don't understand why. You have to do this. It’s just that after the matter is done, I find that Xuanfu’s method is better, and you are right. But I still can’t figure out why. There is obviously a simpler and easier method, why should I choose the difficult one."
Wang Xiaolie said: "It's not just you, many of my people don't understand. The only one who can understand, or understand me, is probably Jiang Min. Although he doesn't talk much, he thinks a lot and can understand many things. Figure it out."
Zhang Jun said: "I'm not as good as Jiang Min."
Wang Xiaolie laughed loudly after hearing this: "Of course you are not as good as Jiang Min! He can learn in three months what others need to learn in three years, and he can memorize it backwards and forwards. How many people can compare to him? But I don't need you to understand me in everything. I know Just do whatever you want. Being able to do things well is a rare talent."
Zhang Jun nodded and said nothing.
Wang Xiaolie said: "I often say that the world is a stage, and we play various roles on this stage. Knowing what role we play and being able to play this role well is already rare. After taking off the makeup, we are originally It doesn’t matter what it looks like.”
"It's not important." Zhang Jun nodded and repeated this sentence.
Wang Xiaolie said: "If it weren't for the Jin soldiers coming south and the national crisis, I would definitely not be living like this. Wealth and power are like floating clouds to me. Why would I devote my whole life to an official position? The Master said, if the Tao is not good, take advantage of it. Floating in the sea, where do you follow me? You are definitely not my disciple."
Zhang Jun heard this and asked hurriedly: "Is that Jiang Min?"
Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Of course not. His temperament is too serious, his work is too careful, and he lacks some fun."
Zhang Jun nodded. Seriously: "I understand."
Wang Xiaolie said: "You may understand how you should play your role in this world and how you should live. But you probably still don't understand why I think so. As I said before, this officialdom is just a worldly dojo. We practice together in the Taoist temple, but we are not Taoist friends. What does it matter? As long as you play the role well, you are destined. If you can't play the role well, there will be no fate. As long as you know what you are playing, and play it well with all your strength , that’s enough.”
Zhang Jun nodded, seeming to understand. He knew in his heart that he could guess what Wang Xiaolie would do, but he didn't know why. Maybe it was because he was not the so-called Taoist friend of Wang Xiaolie. I don't know what kind of person Wang Xiaolie is under the role of Xuan Fu. Of course, there is no need to know.
