Yan'an Mansion. Yongxing Military Road Shuai Division.

A middle-aged man in his thirties with a weathered face sat high. He is the first soul race in the Northwest Army after Chong Shiheng.

It's a bit embarrassing that Chong Shiheng is the last minister of the family, and he won't be treated very well in the future. The official of the plant is from the shade, and it is a series of military generals.

The rules of the Great Song Dynasty are that military generals cannot be called adults, and they cannot govern the people. So in essence, although there is a commander on Yongle Military Road, the rights of the commander are not in a state of full blood. Because the person who is in charge of the Shuai Division is not Wenchen. is the reason for these egg pains, and Chong'e has been doing the work of the strategy, but he does not have the title of the strategy.

It just so happened that the rules in this area were particularly strict during this period, and the full name of the chief officer of the Shuai Division was the pacification envoy of the Jing Liu, and he did not have this title but actually presided over the work of the Shuai Si. The real position is the same as that of Di Qing in the past, and the authority is similar to that of the economic envoy, but it means that he is a military minister. In the future, the position of the seed master of the seed family will be similar to this, called "the control of all roads in the northwest".

To put it simply, it is the job of being the commander-in-chief, but there is no real decision-making power.

According to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, when the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture and the Yongxing Army passed through the route to pacify the envoy, he was the real supreme governor of the province and the one in charge.

Now the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty is actually equivalent to no economic strategy. Therefore, there is Li Shen, the transfer envoy of Shaanxi, who manages the two roads of Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road. This is not a real wartime deployment, but in fact, as the highest literary official in Shaanxi and coordinates the two routes, Li Shen is the default commander of the northwest in the absence of an envoy.

Such a command structure is due to the fact that the Great Song Dynasty is torn apart by itself, and there are also reasons why it tries not to prick the nerves of the Tangut people for diplomatic considerations.

So under such a command structure, the emperor appointed Wang Yan as a guy, which was a chaotic move in the hearts of the bureaucrats in the northwest.

It's a mess, but it's also a kind of change. Lao Zhao promoted Funing County to the Funing Army, which not only made Chong'e unable to control Wang Yan, but also made Li Shen basically unable to take Wang Yan. But that kid can still lead hundreds of hooligans to fend for themselves.

If Yongxing Military Road has a genuine economic envoy, then it can really manage Wang Yan. But he just can't manage it, he can only manage the Funing army, but the Funing army and Funing County are the integration of the military and the government, and the military ministers are not adults, and it is the bottom line that they can't manage the people, so the structure is complicated, and the Great Song Dynasty has these characteristics.

This coexisted with a large number of "regular and temporary workers" in those state-owned enterprises and institutions in the mid-90s, and the two classes were almost contradictory and opposed. Temporary workers who do a good job are likely to appoint some "group leader" or the like to take charge of the regular work. Whoever does a good job is on it, this is logically normal.

But the system made the "temporary team leader" really unable to manage, and in the end it was a mess. Why, because even if a regular worker "disobeys orders and doesn't work", he can't be fired according to the system, and he still gets his salary and benefits, and changing his position will affect the bonus at most, which is commonly known as "Lao Tzu continues to drink tea and read newspapers in a different hall".

This is still the case in a fair and just civilized society, so this phenomenon was infinitely magnified in ancient times. This is the reason why the seed can't control Wang Yan. This is also a stupid trick made by the emperor. At the same time, it is also the characteristic of the civil official system of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Kind of marshal, the last general really has no choice, Wang Yan's thief is too deceitful, you can't respond if you don't respond, and if you go on like this, the morale of the army in the northwest will be in chaos sooner or later." Cao Shouyi said excitedly when he saw Chong'e.

Chong'e had a gloomy face, but said: "He made it clear that he had a posture of 'you bite me', and the emperor sent such a person to the northwest, how do you want Ben Shuai to respond?" ”

"In short, he is too yin and too bullying no one in our army, and our northwest military must respond, otherwise it will be more and more difficult to lead the team in the future." Cao Shouyi's Yin Measurement Dao.

Chong E thought for a while and said, "Cao Shouyi, don't take Ben Shuai for a fool. Ben Shuai warned you to restrain appropriately, but you didn't listen. Now that you have met a ruthless person, you are incompetent, the so-called king and defeat, the two elite crossbow cavalry battalions were easily disarmed in the Dali River, what else do you say, how do you want to ruin the reputation of this commander from then on? You lost, you know? ”

Cao Shouyi hurriedly shook his hand as if he had been wronged: "Seed Shuai, on the issue of the use of slave labor, it is the unique situation in the northwest that forces me to do so, this is to learn your farming style, I have also communicated with you in advance, and it is the acquiescence of Prime Minister Li Shengong?" ”

Chong'e got up and scolded angrily: "Until now, you still dare to pour dirty water on my planter's head? I acquiesced and helped you resist the pressure to persuade Prime Minister Li because I knew in my heart that these actions were done as a last resort, and that the defense capability of my Northwest and Eastern Front depended to a large extent. ”

After a pause, he said: "But it wasn't until Sima Guang impeached me in the DPRK this time that Ben Shuai suddenly woke up, Sima Guang said that I was cruel and immoral, and I would kill whoever I wanted under the rule, and I would dig out people's hearts and lungs if I didn't agree." On the surface, this looks like a slander, and it was done by traitors in the DPRK and China. At first, I was furious, but after thinking about it carefully, Sima Guang may have some problems with his personality, but he is by no means a traitor who ignores the facts. The so-called groundlessness does not come to the wind, and after calming down, Ben Shuai inevitably had many thoughts: Sima Guang said that the northwest is brutal and immoral, maybe these things really exist? ”

"Chong Shuai, you are not such a person, Master Sima has gone too far." Cao Shouyi hurriedly shook his hand wittily.

Chong E said coldly: "I didn't say it was me." I mean, I didn't do it, but that doesn't mean the Northwest doesn't have those things. People are terrible, I am the head of the Yongxing Military Road, don't you think I have been taking the blame for you? Theoretically, Sima Guang is not a shadow catcher, because these things happened under my rule, and of course they fell on my head in the end. Just like every time there is a change of dynasty, there are many reasons for the death of the country, but in the end, the brainshell that bears the reputation must be the emperor and the prime minister. Isn't that easy? ”

Hearing this, Cao Shouyi felt very bad and tried to say: "This is not like your usual tone of speech at all, did you hear something from someone?" ”

Chong E did not hide it, held up a document and said, "I used Wang Yan's tone. This is a letter he wrote to me a few days ago. didn't say anything else, but comprehensively analyzed why Sima Guang misunderstood this time, and why he was so impeached against my breeder. ”

Cao Shouyi hurriedly said: "Kind of handsome, you can't listen to that villain's gossip to confuse the public......"

"Shut up!"

Chong E interrupted: "How to judge, who says it makes sense, and who says it doesn't." Ben Shuai knows it. Of course, Wang Yan has Wang Yan's purpose, and what he said is a bit exaggerated, I know this. But there is a certain truth, and we must face it, which is the reason why he has been able to succeed countless times. This time, you and the Marshal of Funing County are indeed responsible, because the Marshal did acquiesce to your actions for the sake of military interests. But you used the name of Ben Shuai to infinitely magnify the incident, and you did a frenzy, which led to the dispersion of my family's reputation and being impeached by Sima Guang, I will write down this account for you. ”

"Wang Yan said that our path is wrong. It is said that we have pulled the hatred of the entire Great Northwest, and spent almost half of the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, but we have never won a single Song-Xia battle. He may be a bit of a fake big empty pointer, and he is a scholar, but Ben Shuai thinks that what he said is also the truth, which is why I have been silent this time. Cao Shouyi, go back, I can't control him, and I can't control you, a relative of the emperor. There must be a price to do, this time you lose, and the loss of those war horses and divine arm crossbows is your price. In my opinion, so far, the price is acceptable, if the trouble continues, it will only be worse, it will really affect the morale of the army and the people, and there will be chaos within the war before the war starts. I don't have much conscience, but adhering to the concept of family style, I don't want to destroy the defense capability of the Northwest and Eastern Front with my own hands, this is the center. ”

Cao Shouyi wanted to say something more, but after getting up and waving his hand, he left the Shuai Si lobby quickly......
