Chapter 364: Make the best use of people
Since Zhu Guangmu actually played the role of Zhang Hanqing's confidential secretary and chief housekeeper, and was also the secretary of the Secretariat, some time-consuming and laborious routine work had to be transferred, especially the leadership of the Propaganda Minister of the People's Party, which naturally fell into the hands of Chen Bui. However, because his seniority in the party is still shallow, he is still under Zhu Guangmu's name for the time being.
However, Chen Bui, editor-in-chief of the People's Party Daily, the only mouthpiece of the People's Party, was in charge of all day-to-day work, which made him feel more pressure and a sense of responsibility.
Subsequently, Zhang Hanqing reorganized the Secretariat of the Central Committee, and Han Linchun and Guo Songling, who had heavy military tasks, will no longer hold the post of secretaries, and will be replaced by Jiang Dengxuan, director of the Organization Department, which also reflects the extension of Zhang Hanqing's thinking on "separating the military from the government": The party secretariat only focuses on party and government-related work, and it is better for military attachés who hold military power to leave the party leadership.
The current secretariat has 5 secretaries: Zhu Guangmu, Wu Jiaxiang, Wang Yizhe, Han Shuxiu, and Jiang Dengxuan. It should be noted that Zhang Hanqing no longer concurrently serves as the secretary of the Secretariat, because in order to reflect his detached identity, he has added "the chairman of the party leads the work of the Secretariat" to the party constitution, in fact, he has naturally acquiesced in his leadership position in the Secretariat.
However, the power of the Secretariat was not weakened by this, and Zhang Hanqing stipulated in the revised party constitution that the Secretariat should be in charge of a certain aspect of the party's affairs, and that each person should be responsible for other routine work, except for major decisions that should be submitted to the Secretariat for unified discussion, and that the decisions of the secretaries would be issued in the name of the Central Committee of the People's Party.
Of course, there are also restrictions on the powers of the Secretariat, and the party constitution also stipulates that "all documents and decisions that are not made by the Secretariat can only be recognized as personal acts", and all the decisions of the secretaries, that is, documents issued in the name of the Central Committee of the People's Party, must be handled by the adjutant office of Zhu Guangmu and the General Office of the Central Committee of the People's Party.
So, you know, this adjutant office actually controls the lifeblood of the People's Party, that is, the power is concentrated under Zhang Hanqing's nose.
After several years of hard work, Jiang Dengxuan impressed the whole army with his extremely strong quality of political work, and his performance in the political department of the guard division was quite appreciated by Zhang Hanqing, so he was not only promoted to the Secretariat, but also added to the Central Military Commission as a member of the Central Military Commission. In this way, in addition to Zhang Hanqing and Zhang Zuoxiang, the two chairmen and vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission of the People's Party, there are already six members, namely, Guo Songling, Han Linchun, Jiang Dengxuan, and Wang Yizhe, who are division commanders and directors of the Political Department of the Guards Division and the First Division, Mi Chunlin, who is the chief quartermaster minister, and Ji Yiqiao, who is the director of the General Training Department.
Lin Wei, director of the Military Intelligence Department of the Major Marshal's Office, was also able to understand the situation of the army on behalf of the young marshal at any time, so that Zhang Hanqing could get rid of the heavy military affairs.
The party and the government are controlled by the people around them at any time, which invisibly expands the influence of the people around them, which requires the people around them to have strong self-discipline. Lin Wei, in history, there is no merit; Chen Bui is also extremely incorruptible, and even Chiang Kai-shek praised him as "a perfect generation", which is one of the reasons why Zhang Hanqing dared to hand over power to them.
Another important reason is that he, who is well aware of the trend of history, believes that it is no longer enough to fundamentally change China's situation by continuing to develop in the northeast in such a tepid manner. Don't look at yourself making a lot of fun now, it's because you haven't touched other people's cakes, and if you want to absorb the Feng system according to your own will, you may encounter something. The development of the BJP and the party's army in the northeast has reached a bottleneck, and he has begun to think about the way out.
Therefore, it is necessary to arrange the structure of the post-era while he is still there, so as to ensure that he can continue to maintain his prestige here after leaving the Northeast, and to limit the emergence of a certain careerist. Since Zhang Hanqing can be born in this world, it is inevitable that someone else will also be "born". Similarly, if there are a group of warlords in this world, such as Zhang Zuolin, it is inevitable that no one else will be born at a certain time.
It is just a struggle against the Japanese and all other foreign imperialists, and Zhang Hanqing does not want to have an internal struggle within the Feng faction and the People's Party, which will not only make his efforts over the years go away, but may also bring great changes to China's history.
Because he gradually deviated from the official history, with his consistent "unfriendly" attitude towards Japan, the Japanese government is no longer optimistic about the prospect of continuing to support Zhang Zuolin... It is believed that if it weren't for his efforts in the past few years to rapidly improve the strength of Feng's army and Zhang Zuolin's dominance in the northeast, the Japanese would definitely have replaced his father and son.
This is also the reason why the father and son worked together to build the Fengtian Arsenal. There are rich people, coupled with the ability to be self-sufficient in weapons, no matter how the situation changes, the Zhang family's status is as stable as Mount Tai.
Therefore, when Han Linchun and Yang Wenkai returned from Shanghai to resume their orders, Zhang Zuolin did not pursue the gambling story in Shanghai, but praised the two of them. Yang Wenkai was recommended to be promoted to the chief of the ordnance department of the Patrol Embassy, and his military rank was also promoted to major general, and Han Linchun was comforted by the major marshal.
There are no surprises, because although they have had them, the credit is great.
The equipment of the German Keplung Arsenal, which was repurchased from the Netherlands, was five times as much as planned, which already made the whole Feng army very happy. With these equipment, arming two artillery regiments in a year is not a problem. The 27th, 28th, and 29th divisions have the foundation and will not rob them, the Guards Division, the First Division, and the 16th Division are already equipped with an artillery battalion, no matter how partial Lao Zhang is, each of their divisions will soon be equipped with at least one artillery battalion, right? Therefore, for Yang Wenkai's blessing due to "misfortune", he can only praise him with a wry smile and his luck is really good.
With the foundation of these equipment, Zhang Zuolin is full of confidence, and it is not surprising that he vigorously praised Zhang Hanqing's bold statement of "building the Fengtian Arsenal into the largest and best arsenal in Asia". With the unanimous approval of the upper and lower levels, the mountain artillery manufacturing branch No. 4 of the Fengtian Arsenal was grandly put into operation on a vacant land of tens of thousands of acres outside the east gate of Fengtian University. In accordance with Zhang Hanqing's requirements of "interning a group of people, getting acquainted with a group of people, and studying a group of people", Yang Wenkai made an advanced plan for it: not only left a considerable room for expansion, but also planned to reserve technology and talents for the production of larger-caliber mountain artillery and howitzers in the future.
In order to ensure the quality of production, the whole process from the first forging workshop to the last workshop is mechanized from the formation of guns and the loading of bullets.
After years of selfless efforts by Yang Wenkai, the Fengtian Arsenal expanded to 8,900 machines a year later, with an annual output of 150 imitation 75MM Krupp mountain guns, becoming the largest arsenal in the country at that time. Of course, the financial ability to support such a money-burning game is a major factor. You must know that since the Republic of China began to invest in the fifth year, the Northeast Finance has spent a total of 30 million on it.
Because of the largest number and the best quality of mountain artillery imitated by the Fengtian Arsenal in all the Beiyang government and mansions, the Fengtian Arsenal is also known as "China's Krupp". But the Mukden people don't say that, they all call this "the big arsenal of wins", because it is.
However, it is also true that Yang Wenkai has never entered the casino for the rest of his life.
