Hong Xiuquan sent back to Guangzhou the news that the envoy sent by the Governor's Office to deliver the letter had been beaten with 100 rods, which caused a fierce abuse in the Military Commission.

"Hong Xiuquan thinks he is the oldest!"

"Grandma's is he looking for death!"

……

Looking at everyone's angry scolding, Wei Ze was a little funny in his heart. In fact, when the news came back, Wei Ze was quite relieved. Hong Xiuquan had the most basic sanity and did not cut down the envoy of the Liberation Army. The progress of the war was very smooth, and the battles in Hunan and Hubei were already quite enjoyable, while the war in Fujian was more relaxed. The navy transported troops to land along the coast of Fujian, and important coastal islands and cities such as Xiamen, Zhangzhou, Putian, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, and Ningde fell into the hands of the Liberation Army. The 21st, 22nd, and 23rd armies, reorganized from the Second Army, fought all the way along the mountainous area. The Qing army stationed in Fujian was still dominated by the green battalion, and under the rapid advance of the Guangfu Army, one county after another was defeated www.uuxs.cc. The Manchu rule in Fujian was shattered with great speed.

The liberation of Jiangxi was also very fast, and the Liberation Army set out from Ganzhou all the way north. The troops that occupied Jiujiang sent the Yangtze River detachment to annihilate the Hunan army and naval divisions in Poyang Lake, and then attacked Nanchang together. Nanchang fell in one fell swoop. The remnants of the Hunan army were annihilated one by one under the astonishing marching ability of the Guangfu army.

In early February, Zeng finally made up his mind to retreat strategically. The fact that the Hunan Army did not choose to fight to the death with the Liberation Army made the Military Commission feel quite surprised. Zeng Guofan took advantage of the Hunan army's naval division, and moved into Luzhou by land and water. The Military Commission believed that Zeng Guofan's wishful thinking was to let the Guangfu Army and the Taiping Army merge with each other, which was also a very shrewd plan. It's just that this choice made Zuo Zongtang miserable. Without the pressure from the rear, Li Xiucheng gathered his forces to storm Hangzhou again. And Zhejiang's Zuo Zongtang not only had to resist Li Xiucheng, who was attacking head-on, but also had to worry that the Guangfu Army would enter Zhejiang from Fujian in the south, and he was also in a dilemma.

At this time, if Hong Xiuquan killed the envoy of the Guangfu Army, then the Guangfu Army could only attack Hong Xiuquan. Whatever the reason, Hong Xiuquan finally maintained a minimum of sanity, which allowed the Liberation Army to maintain a minimum of restraint.

After scolding Hong Xiuquan, the Military Commission began to discuss the next strategy. In fact, the content that can be discussed is very limited, first of all, the focus of the strategic offensive has become the east. After capturing Fujian, the Guangfu Army first had to eliminate Zuo Zongtang, and the second was to drive Li Xiucheng's troops back to Tianjing from Zhejiang. The Guangfu Army compressed the strategic space of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom step by step, and finally saw whether Hong Xiuquan left Tianjing City by himself or was helped by the Guangfu Army to ascend to heaven.

After the meeting of the Military Commission, it is a meeting of the civilian predominant. Foreign Minister Hong In-jin took a leave of absence on the grounds of ill health. Some people think that Hong Renji is avoiding suspicion, while others think that Hong Renji is expressing some kind of dissatisfaction. However, Zuo Zhidan, secretary of the party committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, soon took over the work of Hong Renji.

Zuo Zhidan said: "Governor, if we enter Shanghai, I'm afraid that we will have to talk to Britain, France, the United States, and Russia first. ”

"What do you think?" Weeser asked.

"They can't use military means to stop our troops from entering Shanghai." Zuo Zhidan's tone was quite cautious.

Wei Ze shook his head, he said with a little disappointment: "You have to talk to them, but it should be about whether the commercial agreement we have determined is applicable to our newly liberated areas." ”

Zuo Zhidan immediately replied: "The newly liberated areas are still unstable, so many ports cannot be opened to them!" ”

Wei Ze nodded, "That's right! So you have to tell them that we are going to blockade these ports in times of war. And will these ports be permanently blocked, or will they be opened under certain conditions or after a certain time? You have to talk to the foreign devils about this. After the talk, you can tell them again, and Shanghai also applies such conditions! ”

"But......" Zuo Zhidan thought for a moment and said embarrassedly, "But I don't count if I say it." ”

"So you have to find a unit that has the final say to communicate!" Weeser gave a clear answer.

"Then can I find the governor of you?" Zuo Zhidan scratched his head and asked quite embarrassedly.

Wei Ze was amused, "Do I just care about this?" I am only in charge of the general direction in diplomacy, and I will put forward my opinions in meetings with targeted discussions. If there were no such meetings, there would naturally be a special department to deal with this. You go and check the specially prepared norms of authority of each department organized by our organization. If you can't find it, you can go to the organization department and ask. Each department has three determinations, defined powers, fixed positions, and fixed responsibilities. Why are you running to me? ”

Zuo Zhidan did not continue to say things such as "that's too troublesome", but honestly made notes in his notebook. Weser had encountered such things so many times that he didn't even have the urge to get angry. System building is a very troublesome matter, as a leader needs to be able to be "patient", if the subordinates are confused, immediately impatient, or even angry. That day will not be over. Being angry all day long can make you angry.

Moreover, there are some things that cannot be talked about without regard to the occasion, in fact, the Central Military Commission has long had a plan to enter Shanghai. The foreign devils also hoped to make a fortune from the Chinese civil war, and the Guangfu Army had to consider how to prevent the military resistance of the foreign devils. You can't talk about such things to Zuo Zhidan. At least not at a meeting with a large number of civil servants.

What can be said in the civil service is future policy. For example, the Guangfu Governor's Mansion, or the "Han Wangfu", which only existed as a propaganda mouth, opened many ports to foreign traders, and did not exclude foreigners from doing business in various parts of China. There will definitely be accidents in the implementation process, and from a more negative point of view, the improvement and operation of the system depends on various emergencies or structural problems encountered in the operation. Whether a country has vitality or not depends on the government's ability to operate.

The Governor's Mansion is now full of vitality because it has the ability to solve the problems it encounters. It can also adopt various policies and systems to make the country's operations more efficient.

There are three issues that the civilian authorities are now discussing, the first of which is the need to build more shipyards and repair yards. The success of the Liberation Army now depends on water transportation. The second issue is the establishment of a government in the newly liberated areas. In the past few years, the Governor's Office has trained a large number of civil servants and allowed them to participate in the work of Liangguang and Qiongzhou. Now the territory of the control zhì has suddenly become several times larger, destroying the Manchu government, and it needs to be replaced by a new one.

The third issue is the relocation of the capital. Guangzhou is a good place, but Guangzhou is located in the southeast, and with the current territory of the Governor's Office, Guangzhou is no longer suitable as the capital of the country. Therefore, the Governor's Mansion needs to be moved to Nanjing. This was initiated by Weese. Of course, Wei Ze would not sue these civil officials, in fact, he valued more the iron ore in Ma'anshan and the coal fields under the land of Huainan.

Once the Lingnan region is not the center of politics, then how to position the political system and status of Lingnan is a very complicated issue. If the political center is not in Lingnan, the Lingnan area will be completely different.

These issues were discussed for a day, and after a day of discussion, there was no particularly significant progress. Wei Ze patiently discussed one question at a time.

Zuo Zhidan did not attend the later meeting, he first went to the organization department to ask who was in charge of the port issue. The Organization Department is the Organization Department, and they immediately came up with a central document that in times of war, military management was implemented in all regions. Local administrative affairs are managed by the local commissar of the troops.

After having a clear content, Zuo Zhidan went to the Military Commission to find Ju Junfeng, chief of the General Staff. Ju Junfeng listened to Zuo Zhidan's question, and he said impatiently: "I don't know about this article!" If you come back in a few days, I'll ask the secretary to find Wen Jiàn and see what Wen Jiàn says. ”

Of course, Zuo Zhidan can understand that Ju Junfeng is busy with official business, but this shirk is really insincere. If he really asked the secretary to find Wen Jiàn, he would be able to order it now. The phrase "in a few days" is too blatant evasion.

Zuo Zhidan didn't quarrel with Ju Junfeng either, he went to the central copywriting office to apply for a copy of the relevant essay. After applying, Zuo Zhidan took the text to see Ju Junfeng again. Ju Junfeng saw Zuo Zhidan coming over with Wen Jiàn in person, and he hurriedly opened Zuo Zhidan on the grounds that he had a meeting.

This reasonable reason made Zuo Zhidan angry, but thinking about Ju Junfeng, as the chief of the general staff during the war, he was indeed very busy with official business. With a twist of his mind, Zuo Zhidan went straight to the Organization Department of the Military Commission. The organization minister received Zuo Zhidan, and it seems that the organization minister also saw this article for the first time, and after reading all the articles, he said: "This matter is not my responsibility." ”

As soon as he heard the words "I don't care", Zuo Zhidan was furious in his heart, and he asked very unhappily: "Who is in charge if it doesn't belong to you?" ”

The head of the organization department seemed to have had a lot of such experiences, and he replied slowly: "It is clear from the text that the political commissar is in charge of civil affairs work. The political commissar is the political department, you have to go to the political department. ”

Zuo Zhidan thought about it and made sense, he asked, "Who is the chief political commissar of the political department?" ”

"The General Political Commissar is Comrade Shen Xin." The Minister of Organization replied.

"Comrade Shen Xin?" Zuo Zhidan knew Shen Xin, but he didn't deal with Shen Xin, he asked, "Where to find him?" ”

The head of the organization department thought for a while and replied: "Well...... Comrade Shen Xin is now serving as the acting secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee, and he is in Hunan. ”

"You ......" Zuo Zhidan is doing diplomatic work after all, and Fakescum can scold foreigners, but it is all planned. Despite being very angry, Zuo Zhidan swallowed the word "mother" back into his stomach. Trying to calm his anger, Zuo Zhidan asked, "Then who is in charge of the work of the political department now?" ”

The head of the organization department replied: "Now the governor of Wei Du is in charge of the work of the government department. ”

Hearing this answer, Zuo Zhidan was speechless. He turned around and left, leaving the head of the Organization Department of the Central Military Commission behind him, without even saying goodbye.

After Wei Ze finished the meeting, as soon as he went out, he saw Zuo Zhidan sitting on a stool outside the conference room. Looking at his expression, it was quite unhappy. Seeing Wei Ze come out, Zuo Zhi Danteng jumped up from the stool, and he said loudly: "Dudu, I'm waiting for you!" ”

Pointing to the conference room with a smile, Weser said, "Go in and talk." ”

The comrades attending the meeting were very curious, and everyone wanted to listen to see why Zuo Zhidan came to Wei Ze so angrily. Weeser let them all disperse and sent guards to guard the gate. Only then did he say to Zuo Zhidan, who was full of unhappiness: "How did you know that you should come to me?" ”

Zuo Zhidan told him about the things that he had run to several departments today, and after he finished speaking, he was a little tearful because of the bitterness in his heart. "Governor, if you are not satisfied with my work, you can say it directly, why do you make it so difficult for me?"

Wei Ze smiled and asked Zuo Zhidan to sit down, "Comrade Zuo Zhidan, I am just very satisfied with your work, so I didn't say it directly." You're very excited right now, so you may not be able to fully understand what I'm saying. The last time you came to me was different from this time, you didn't know I was in charge of this last time, and now you know. After running around like this, you know how to do the job. I think that's a big takeaway for you. Next time you run into the same problem, you won't be helpless. And I know you won't be helpless. It is only by understanding your abilities that I can give you more work to do. So you didn't run in vain today. I agree with the way you work, and it's rare that you can finally move a stool and wait for me at the door. I appreciate it very much! ”

Regarding Wei Ze's words, Zuo Zhidan was not happy. He was still out of breath.

"Tomorrow afternoon you come to me, and we will formally discuss the issue of the port," Weeser said. ”

Sending Zuo Zhidan away, Wei Ze also walked home tiredly. One of the signs of a person's maturity is not that he can do everything, but that he has mastered the way to solve problems. From this point of view, Zuo Zhidan is still a reliable comrade, but he is still not mature enough. Moreover, now that there are mature enough comrades in the Governor's Mansion, it is still a very scarce resource. Thinking of a large group of immature comrades going to the newly liberated areas to form a government, Wei Ze really had no bottom in his heart. R1058
