"Ten days?!"

After hearing Zhao Junchen's statement, everyone present was shocked, thinking that Zhao Junchen's request was really difficult.

He Zhang actually thought seriously for a moment, considered various possibilities in detail, and then shook his head with a serious expression: "Ten days is too short, it is absolutely impossible!" In such a short period of time, there must still be many soldiers who have not arrived at the Huamachi camp, and even the personnel are not neat, how can they completely run in the army? What's more, it is too child's play to run in a strong army in such a short time! ”

After He Zhang finished speaking, Zheng Jiadong also echoed: "Yes, Lord Zhao, ten days is too little!" No matter how good General He is at commanding troops, it will never be possible to do it! For example, the distance between the Gansu military town and the Huamachi camp is far away, maybe it was only in the last two days that seven official documents from the governor's palace were received, and when the elite soldiers from the Gansu military town arrived at the Huamachi camp to join the new army, it would be at least ten days later! The follow-up troops of Guyuan, Yulin, and Ningxia will not be replenished much in advance...... The reason why the first batch of troops from Yulin and Ningxia Second Town joined the new army was so quick was only because the two town guards had been fully prepared before Lord Zhao officially announced the formation of the new army, but the subsequent replenishment of troops was not so simple! ”

Then, Zhou Bo also said: "Lord Zhao, in just ten days, it is indeed difficult for a strong man!" Not to talk about the run-in of the new army, it is a thousand things, but as the old general and Zheng Xuezheng said, it will take a lot of time just to replenish the follow-up strength of the new army, and the discussion, debate, and coordination within the towns, the extraction, gathering, and rush of troops, all take time, only ten days, the strength of the new army is not neat, even if the troops from all over the country rush to the Huamachi camp before the time limit, the training time left for General He is too little! In such a short period of time, even if General He has immortal means, I am afraid that he will not be able to run in the new army! ”

Obviously, in the eyes of Zheng Jiadong and Zhou Bo, Zhao Junchen made such a harsh request because he wanted to deliberately make things difficult for He Zhang, and retaliated against He Zhang for raising sensitive issues to Zhao Junchen in public before, so Zheng Jiadong and Zhou Bo hurriedly expressed their attitude and why Zhang supported him.

After hearing everyone's rebuttals and questions, Zhao Junchen did not have any shame.

In fact, although Zhao Junchen is not satisfied with some of He Zhang's attitudes and performances, he still needs to focus on the overall situation, and he does not mean to make things difficult for He Zhang, and Zhao Junchen's statement naturally has Zhao Junchen's considerations.

Therefore, Zhao Junchen still didn't change his mind, but said slowly: "Ben Qincha naturally knows that in just ten days, the soldiers of the new army are still not in order, and there must be many troops who cannot reach the Huamachi camp, but my attitude will still not change in any way!" My demand is that no matter how many troops the new army has at that time, whether the soldiers are in order, and how many difficulties it faces, it must build up its combat strength within 10 days! Even after ten days, most of the troops are still on the way, and the strength of the new army is only 10,000, and these 10,000 people must be ready to be sent to the battlefield at any time! As many troops as there are, there are as many troops as there are in the run-in! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen and He Zhang looked at each other, their expressions became more and more cold, and they continued: "Old General He, I hope you can understand that I am not deliberately making things difficult for you, the battle situation is really urgent, and all of us need to bear greater pressure and burden!" In this way, you can unleash all your potential and have the best chance of winning against the Mongol Tatars! In this series of plans, the role of the new army is irreplaceable, and it is also necessary for the new army to form combat strength as soon as possible! I don't force you to run in the forces that have not yet arrived at the Huamachi camp, but the current strength of the new army must be formed within ten days! Of course, I will also send another official letter to urge the border army generals everywhere to hand over their private soldiers as soon as possible! ”

Then, Zhao Junchen's expression eased slightly, and he said: "In addition, the soldiers of the new army are not neat for the time being, but it is actually beneficial!" It is much easier to run in an army of 10,000 people than to run in an army of 20,000 or 30,000 people! After the current forces are thoroughly integrated, it will be easier to absorb and integrate the subsequent forces with the current forces as the main body in the future. ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, He Zhang was still embarrassed!

There are too many problems with the new army, even if it is just to run in the current strength, ten days is really stretched, He Zhang is not sure at all, so he does not dare to promise anything.

At this time, Guan Wuyuan, who had been holding a shelf and was silent, adhered to the principle of "standing and talking without backache", and suddenly said to He Zhang: "General He, you are a veteran of the border army, don't you know the truth of 'military orders are like mountains'?" Lord Zhao gave an order, do your best to do it! If there is a difficulty, then find a way to solve it! ”

On the other side, Li Ru'an, the eunuch of the supervising army, also said: "I hope that Old General He knows that Lord Zhao has never rested well since he arrived in the northwest!" After coming to Huamachi Camp, I only rested for about two hours every day! General He Lao thinks that it is very difficult to run in the new army, so it will be easy for Lord Zhao to preside over the military and political affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu? The difficulties faced are no less than those of the new army of soldiers!

…… However, to this day, Lord Zhao has not only thoroughly understood the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu, analyzed the enemy situation many times, formulated a number of battle plans, and formed a new team of the Governor's Palace, but also promulgated a number of policies, which initially reversed the atmosphere in Shaanxi and Gansu......

…… All of this is Lord Zhao's political achievements in just seven days! This is not counting all the things that civil and military officials such as us have done under the arrangement of Lord Zhao! …… Therefore, Lord Zhao has already set an example, General He has always boasted of being very high, how can he be left behind? ”

After hearing Li Ru'an's words, everyone present was shocked.

Prior to this, most of them were only responsible for unilateral matters, such as Zheng Jiadong was only responsible for Shilin public opinion and the morale of the border army, Zhou Bo was only responsible for reviewing the merits and punishments of the border army officers, and Zheng Yu was only responsible for the defense of the Huamachi battalion, so they did not know much about the changes in the overall situation on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, and they were only in the fog about Zhao Junchen's work and results these days.

But after hearing Li Ru'an's detailed introduction at this time, they suddenly discovered that Zhao Junchen had done so many things in just seven days!

These things, each one is not easy to do, and each and every one of them is clearly placed in front of you, and it is by no means Li Ruan's deliberate exaggeration!

In these seven days, how much luck and hard work Zhao Junchen has paid, it is difficult for everyone to imagine!

Thinking of this, no matter what position everyone present originally upheld, at this moment they all admired Zhao Junchen!

Under the admiring gaze of everyone, Zhao Junchen did not have any pride in his eyes, but said slowly: "Since I have taken over the power and responsibility of the governor of the three sides, I naturally dare not slack off!" It's all my job, and if I don't do it, it's a dereliction of my duty! It's a little bit of success these days, but there's nothing to be proud of! ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen's eyes turned to He Zhang again, and asked, "General He, let me ask you again, can you make the new army of soldiers form combat strength within ten days?" If not, then I'll let someone else lead the way! ”

Guan Wuyuan and Li Ru'an's various statements completely stimulated He Zhang's arrogance.

Especially Li Ru'an's statement, He Zhang's impression of Zhao Junchen completely changed.

Zhao Junchen is certainly a little harsh on He Zhang, but Zhao Junchen is even more harsh on himself, so He Zhang is naturally convinced!

Therefore, He Zhang raised his head and said, "Lord Zhao, don't worry! Just like Li Jianjun said, you have set an example, and the last general will not be left behind, within ten days, even if the last general is sleepless, you must let the new army of soldiers form combat power! ”

Prior to this, He Zhang always called himself a "general" in front of Zhao Junchen, although he expressed his obedience, but his arrogance did not weaken in the slightest, but at this time he called himself the "last general", and this change was the reason why He Zhang gradually became convinced by Zhao Junchen.

Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and said, "Since this is the case, I will also be relieved!" During your integration of the new army, I will also get all the officials to cooperate with you! You don't need to have any scruples, just do it! ”

"The last will obey! Time is pressing, and the last general will not dare to stay in the Governor's Palace to delay time, so he will go to the New Army camp to start the integration! ”

He Zhang received the order loudly, his expression was full of resolute and resolute - after facing the challenge, the majestic and resolute spirit in his body became more and more intense.

Seeing He Zhang's attitude, everyone present gradually believed that maybe He Zhang might really be able to train a strong army within ten days!

After receiving the order, He Zhang was quite decisive and straightforward, and he was about to say goodbye to Zhao Junchen and wanted to go to the camp of the new army to run errands.

However, just when He Zhang was about to leave, Zhao Junchen opened his mouth to keep He Zhang, and said: "Old General He stays, before you officially do business, there is still a public case to deal with, and you are a witness in this public case, and you need to provide circumstantial evidence...... Don't worry, it won't be too long! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen's gaze turned to Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi, and asked, "I heard that just now outside the Governor's Palace, there was a border army soldier who violated military orders and killed prisoners to vent his hatred, but the three of you secretly let the border army soldier who committed the crime go?" ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Liu Manniu, Zhang Cheng, and Li Pi all changed their faces.

Then, they suddenly remembered that the three of them had come to the Governor's Mansion to meet Zhao Junchen this time, specifically to excuse themselves for this matter!

And, looking at Zhao Junchen's attitude at this time, it seems that this matter is very difficult to be good!
