After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Jun was already full. With Jiang Min here, he couldn't really get drunk, so he refused because he was too drunk.
Jiang Min said: "Then bring a pot of good tea and wake up. Today Qianjie is new. Let's talk gossip."
Liang Xing called the boy and asked him to bring him a pot of good tea. Special instructions not to use tea from the store, but to use tea brought by the soldiers.
The army is unified, and the minister's money also includes fine wine and tea. The capital can be enjoyed by oneself or used to entertain guests. Wang Xiaolie manages the minister's money very loosely. Jiang Min doesn't like wine, nor does she like tea. These things are usually used to entertain guests.
In addition to Jiang Min's own minister's money, there is also the division's minister's money. This is truly public property and is generally managed and supervised by the secretary in charge. It can only be used for official business, and it is relatively troublesome to use.
Soon the waiter brought the tea and took away the leftovers.
Liang Xing asked Xiao Si to go out, pour tea for Jiang Min and Zhang Jun, and talk some gossip.
Jiang Min said: "In the past, Qianjia always lived alone, and no one behind the scenes could tell what he was doing, so he was free and happy. Why did Xuanfu ask you to be Qianjia as soon as you entered the military academy? Xuanfu It is said that you have your own way of leading troops and that you are better than others, I don’t know if that is true or not?”
Zhang Jun held the teacup and thought for a while, then said: "You were in the Xuanfu Division at that time, and nothing could be hidden from you. That's right. When I was young, I had a wild temper and hated being controlled. With a few people, I Working on the enemy's territory can be said to be free and easy. People will always grow up. The ideas I thought when I was young may be correct when I grow up, but they may not be correct when I grow up. I entered the military academy, got married, and suddenly I felt like that It was so boring. After I came out of the military academy, I led a soldier named Sun Qilang who was extremely lazy and difficult to discipline. It can be said that I tried my best to control him, but I couldn't manage it well. Later, I had no choice but to let them A team came together to find a solution and received punishment together. I didn't expect this method to be effective. Sun Qilang really managed it well and even won a prize in the recruit competition. I wrote the whole incident as an example for other generals to refer to. Because of this, Xuanfu found me and asked me to be your governor."
Jiang Min nodded: "I also read the case study you wrote and was inspired by it. But I'm afraid it's not enough to manage troops by just relying on it."
Zhang Jun smiled and said: "That happened a few months ago, but of course it is different now. When Xuanfu came to me, he told me a lot of things to pay attention to, and asked me to try my best to expand these into a complete method of leading troops, and then the other generals would summarize it. It’s a regulation. I’ve thought about it a lot, some of it makes sense, some of it doesn’t, and I’m just going to help improve it all.”
Jiang Min said: "I'm not good at leading troops, so I can't help you much."
In fact, Jiang Min had his own way of leading troops. He had no problem leading the first three thousand people. However, as the commander-in-chief, I really don’t have the energy to take care of those things, so I can only let the generals below take responsibility for them. As for Jiang Min's character, he manages things very carefully, and he can't teach others his methods.
This principle is similar to Wang Xiaolie. Regarding leading troops, Wang Xiaolie had a set of theories, and they all made great sense. However, these principles have not been verified in practice. Not long after he led his troops, he occupied Xiangyang, and his troops quickly swelled. It can be said that Wang Xiaolie had no practical experience at the critical stage when the army grew from a few hundred to several thousand. His so-called great principles are just principles.
Managing subordinates and being able to control the level below you is the ultimate. Without control, it is easy to lose touch with reality and talk on paper. If you are in charge of lower-level affairs, or even if some people are in charge of everything, then there are two problems. First, there are too many levels, and many intermediate levels are unnecessary. If the hierarchy is set up properly, it's management chaos.
When there is an army, Wang Xiaolie needs to manage it to the command level. It's not about taking care of everything, but it's about knowing the tasks of each controller and knowing their plans. When the army was expanded to two corps, Wang Xiaolie could only manage it up to the division level, and the commander really had no energy to manage it.
Hearing what Jiang Min said, Zhang Jun said sincerely: "Du Tong, the two of us need to cooperate in military affairs. This is not an empty talk, but a real must. Although I used to be a loner, I like to do things It is arbitrary. But now that Qianjia has been established, it is different from before. When Xuanfu established Qianjia, he made it very clear that Qianjia was responsible for daily management and was in charge of marching and fighting. In fact, how could things be so clearly divided? Although each has its own division of labor, the division of labor is not so clear in fact. This requires that Qianjia and Dutong must cooperate closely and discuss everything. On this basis, the division of labor is meaningful. If Qianjia If He Dutong doesn’t cooperate and even fights for power, things will be difficult to do.”
Jiang Min looked calm and nodded: "I understand this."
Zhang Jun said: "So you agree to cooperate?"
Jiang Min shook his head: "To cooperate or not to cooperate, the extent of cooperation depends on what kind of person Qian Ha is and how he does things. If you really can't cooperate, what can you do? I will report it to Xuan Fu at that time, or Move me away, or move you away.”
Zhang Jun was stunned. Said: "Xuanfu sent me here, but he thought the two of us could cooperate!"
Jiang Min said: "Everything has to be tried before you know it. Or maybe Xuan Fu is wrong, what's the surprise?"
Seeing Zhang Jun's stunned look, Jiang Min smiled and said: "Dutong and Qianjie must be able to work together. If they can't work together, nothing can be done. These are not two ordinary positions. Anyone can do it. . I believe Xuanfu also knows this, so I asked you to come. Although we are not familiar with each other, we have been with Xuanfu for many years, and it is always easy to get along. If we really can’t get along, there is no other way, so we can only replace him. "
Zhang Jun nodded involuntarily. Yes, the two positions of Dutong and Qianjia are extraordinary, and they must be able to get along. At the lower level, such as the Dutou and the military envoy, even though they don't get along, they are still able to do their job with the supervision from above. When it comes to the command and custody at the battalion level, it's a bit reluctant if they can't get along. If the governor and the governor are not in harmony, the impact will be very large, directly affecting the combat effectiveness of the army. Qian Ju and Du Tong disagreed, and the army fell apart.
Jiang Min said: "It is precisely because we are not familiar with each other that we must give it a try. If we don't try, how will we know?"
Zhang Jun said softly: "I understand. I didn't think of this section before, thank you for reminding me!"
Jiang Min said: "We will do things together in the future. Qianjie should figure it out."
