Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, when Chen Bui, who was dressed in cloth, finally appeared in front of Zhang Hanqing, it was appropriate to describe his mood with ecstasy.

Coming quietly, the low-key style almost fixed Chen Bui in the picture scroll of history. The simplicity of his life, his literati mentality (or rather an accessible attitude) that treated money like dung, and his outlook on life that did not seek the benefit of himself or his relatives and friends earned him the most relied on and almost unconditional trust from Chiang Kai-shek, who was known as a strategist.

He also has the deep-rooted Chinese intellectuals of the "death of a confidant", just as he accompanied the funeral of the Chiang dynasty in the official history. Regardless of whether he is politically right or wrong, he brought the personality charm of the old-style literati to the extreme, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Hanqing admires him very much---- he is a trustworthy person.

So Zhang Hanqing greeted him completely with an open mind, and he ordered to open the door of the Marshal's Mansion and personally welcome him out.

Chen Bure's cloth clothes and shoes, with a cloth bag on his back, are no different from the people who go out to the market in the Northeast. If it weren't for the fortitude and reputation on his face (which was already deeply rooted in Zhang Hanqing's heart), it would be hard to imagine that this was the unique Mr. Bray.

Zhang Hanqing cheered like an old friend and said, "Mr. Bray! I finally waited until you came---- Mr. came alone? ”

Although Chen Bui was stunned, he said humorously: "The young marshal has a life, and he dares to obey it." But Bray was worried, after all, 'the spring is white and snowy, and the one who is peaceful is widowed; Under the fame, it is actually difficult to bear', after a long time, I am afraid that I will disappoint the young marshal. Therefore, Bray kept an eye on it, and left his family in Shanghai, and if he was driven back by the young marshal in the future, he would still have a place to stay in Shanghai. ”

Zhang Hanqing laughed, took his hand and said: "I think Mr. should listen to the opposite, Mr. wants to come over first, if my young marshal does not live up to his name, it is easier for Mr. to be alone from Feng, isn't it?" ”

The two hit it off at first sight.

Later, Zhang Hanqing talked with him briefly about the organizational framework of the People's Party and the topics to be studied, and sincerely hoped that Chen Bui would be able to consolidate this foundation after becoming familiar with the relevant theories ---- in fact, the so-called common sense things in modern political textbooks that he knew and remembered that had been explored by later generations. Of course, the title given to Chen Bui is also very large: director of the Policy Research Office of the Central Committee of the People's Party and editor-in-chief of the "People's Party Daily".

Surprised by the young marshal's understanding of China's national conditions and the depth of the grasp of China's pulse in the People's Party he founded, the more Chen Bui talked about it, the more he felt that this young young marshal was unfathomable. He was originally conceited, and began to worry a little about whether he could be qualified for the position of director of the Policy Research Office, after all, he was a person outside the party, and he was not proficient in party affairs, of course, the position of editor-in-chief of the "People's Party Daily" should be familiar with the road, but when they met for the first time, Zhang Hanqing gave him such a big gift, and he was still thundered.

It was not only these two positions that made Chen Burei down, Zhang Hanqing also promised to personally be his introduction to the party and would give him the title of a member of the Central Committee after the change. Since it was the beginning of the founding of the party, basically the party cadres, especially the senior cadres, were taken from above, and Zhang Hanqing was not prepared to implement the party's cooking at this time, and power began with centralization.

Later, Chen Bui knew that only Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen, and Wang Yongjiang, the three veterans of the Feng Department, were the introducers of Zhang Hanqing who personally joined the party, and there was a state of mind of "the one who is a confidant dies". He began to work hard to integrate into the team of the young marshal and win everyone's respect with his super high character and professional attitude, which is a later story.

When Zhang Hanqing ceremoniously introduced Chen Bui to his subordinates, it inevitably caused a commotion. This middle-aged man, who is not amazing, has no achievements in politics, is not prominent in reputation, and has no power, but he was entrusted with such an important official position by the young marshal, which cannot but be surprising. Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing had mentioned their shortcomings to them before, knowing that writing work was their weakness, and they didn't touch their cake, so they didn't have much resistance to Chen Bui's arrival, but they just felt that Jiang Xin would be suspicious---- he deserved to be so polite and virtuous corporal as a young marshal?

However, Zhang Zuolin was very open-minded, not only took the time to meet Chen Bui in person, but also supported the important task entrusted by Zhang Hanqing.

At that time, most of the warlords took expanding the army and expanding the territory as their own responsibility, and as for recruiting talents, they mostly focused on military generals, after all, it still depends on a large number of generals who can fight well. However, within the Feng department, a situation of equal emphasis on civil and military affairs was gradually formed, and the young marshal was like this, and so was the old marshal.

Because Zhang Zuolin, who knew very well that he could not rely on martial artists to govern the world, under the influence of Zhang Hanqing, he had established a military and political group with him as the core. Militarily, Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen, Zhang Hanqing, and Wu Junsheng have their own merits, forming a trend of arch guards; Politically, the separation of military and political affairs has left the role of civilians largely in the palm of their hands. In this case, it will further weaken the soil for the division of military generals, and reach the realm of "governing the military with literature" advocated by Zhang Hanqing.

In later generations, the United States had the world's first-class military strength, but the democratically elected president and secretary of defense of the United States were able to firmly control this behemoth, and its system had very merits. This system has many references in the so-called "cooking" countries in later generations, and has maintained the stability of their countries to a certain extent, and this system is called the "task-based command method".

The core idea of the so-called "task-based command method" is to define the authority of civil and military officials. The civilian government decided to "fight or not, why fight?" And the military attache instructed "how to fight" at the tactical level. In any case, the power to wage war cannot be decided by the military, it is determined by the bloody thinking of the military, and history has proven its shortcomings.

For example, the notorious Japanese militarism has repeatedly caused irreparable situations in history by a small group of junior officers who "spontaneously" "descended to the top"; although this could not erase the responsibility of the emperor and the Japanese government at that time, no one could have imagined the appearance of such a freak.

In later generations, some countries repeatedly launched coups d'état, and a very important factor was that the military power was too strong, and a huge chain of interests had been formed. Under an unsound political system, democratically elected civil officials are naturally no match for military generals with heavy armies.

Therefore, no matter whether Zhang Hanqing pursues the separation of the military and the government or the separation of the military and the police, it is all for the purpose of separating the interests of the army from the localities. The task of officers is to train troops in peacetime and to obey political needs in wartime, and they must not overstep their responsibilities and override political decision-making.

This can understand the purpose of Zhang Zuolin's efforts to elevate the status of Wang Yongjiang, the leader of the Wenzhi faction, in the Feng department. As the vice chairman of the Northeast Autonomous Government and the governor of Fengtian, Wang Yongjiang seems to be Zhang Zuolin's political spokesperson, and his substantive position within the Feng department far surpasses that of Sun Liechen and others, although Sun is Zhang's hardcore assistant.

In addition to Wang Yongjiang, Wenzhi factions such as Liu Shangqing, Zhang Huilin, and Wang Shuhan have all won the trust and reuse of Lao Zhang. Basically, Lao Zhang handed over to them all the administrative and financial powers on which he depended.

Moreover, in normal times, Lao Zhang also cares about befriending literati, such as Liu Zhe, who was an adviser to the Jilin Military Supervision Bureau, the president of the Jilin Provincial Senate, and is now an adviser to the president of the Beijing Senate.

Zhang Hanqing recruited talents from Beijing and Shanghai, and Zhang Zuolin did not let him specialize in beauty, and his vision of employment was not only in the Northeast. Like Pan Fu, who is known as the "genius of Jiangbei", he has gone to serve from Lu at his kind invitation.

Pan Fu was born in Shandong and was a masterpiece at that time. In the early days of the Republic of China, he served under the government of Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu. Cheng was not approved for military salary many times, and then handed over to Pan Fu to deal with the matter. He changed 18 words in the book, submitted it, and immediately allocated the money. This incident caused a sensation and achieved his reputation as a "genius in Jiangbei".

Due to his close relationship with Zhou Ziqi, the governor of Shandong, he was transferred back to Shandong soon after to serve as the director of the Shandong Industrial Department. It not only advocates the establishment of industry, but also encourages the development of processing industry, agriculture, and fishery industry, and puts forward suggestions for creating excellent products and competing with domestic and foreign products. In November of the same year, Pan Fu was reappointed as the general office of the dredging of the Yunhu River in the southeast of Shandong, and concurrently ran the Shandong Water Conservancy, and the preparatory office was located in Jining. In 1916, Pan Fu was transferred to the vice president of the National Water Conservancy Bureau.

He not only experienced many fields in officialdom, but also established a number of joint ventures such as Jinan Lufeng Yarn Factory, Jining Jifeng Flour Mill, and Jining Electric Light Company. The Northeast New Deal especially needs such compound talents in the industrial and commercial fields and administrative fields, so Zhang Zuolin threw away an olive branch and hired him as the director of the Northeast Industrial Committee and the director of the Fengtian Industrial Department, focusing on industrial construction.

As a pole in Zhang Zuolin's military group, Zhang Hanqing is the only person who can politically meddle in the affairs of Northeast China. In fact, he is not just meddling in administrative affairs, but has actually dominated all aspects of the construction of Northeast China.

This gave him a lot of power, but it also caused some jealousy, and it took most of his energy into it. In these unpredictable times, he needs to make time to plan his next big move, so it is imperative that he maintain his current strength more effectively. Although his subordinates were full of talents at this time, after a period of running-in, although the main cadres of party affairs, politics, military, and economy were in charge of each other, Zhang Hanqing still believed that it was necessary to formally establish his own team and straighten out the relationship in all aspects, so as to establish his position within the Feng department.

Therefore, with Zhang Zuolin's consent and in-depth discussions with his generals and advisers, Zhang Hanqing decided to set up a "Young Marshal's Office" to coordinate the party's military-government relations. This office temporarily has four directors in two offices, two departments, and serves as a channel for him to lead the People's Party and the party's army.

The first room is the guard room, which is divided into two guards, including Tan Hai and Jiang Huanan, and Tan Hai is the director; The second room is the adjutant office, which is also the director by Zhu Guangmu; One is the military and intelligence organs, which are shared by Lin Wei and Gao Jiyi, with Lin Wei as the director; The second department is a party and government personnel organ, led by Chen Bui.
