Generals from all walks of life left Beijing in batches and began to return to their respective strategic areas, and Zuo Zongtang was the last group of generals to leave Beijing.

Zuo Zongtang, who is about to take up the post of deputy director of the Northwest Military and Political Office, deputy commander of the Northwest Military Region and governor of Xinjiang Province, has the passionate and heroic spirit of the ancients at this time, "but to make Longcheng fly general, not called Hu Madu Yin Mountain", it is inevitable that there will be a trace of apprehension in his heart from time to time. Although Huang Zaixing had introduced to him in detail the situation of the former Red First Army, which is now the Northwest Military Region, from all aspects in the past few days, he had always been around Lin Haifeng since he joined the Celestial Empire camp, and although he had learned a lot of good things, after all, he had never really independently commanded such a huge strategic area. What's more, in the strategic area he is going to, there are many veteran figures, can a character like himself get along with them harmoniously? Once you don't get along well, not to mention that your half-life reputation will be damaged, it will also delay Director Lin's plan, wouldn't it be in vain to live up to Director Lin's appreciation of himself?

"Director, this military affairs cadre in the northwest is heavy, I ...... I'm so scared that ......."

Lin Haifeng first looked at Liu Xianghe, Han Muyue and others who were helping him pack up in the "official residence", and then looked at Zuo Zongtang who was sitting opposite, and looked at it for a while, then he suddenly laughed, "I said Lao Zuo, I've been with you for so long, but I've never seen you play a small drum in your heart." Why, it can't be a little weak-hearted, right? ”

"Hey...... Hehe......" Zuo Zongtang scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Yes, Lin Fengxiang, Zeng Jinfa, Zhu Xikun, these guys are all old Jintian, and they are veterans in the Red Army, and they are all famous, not like Chen Yucheng and their rising stars, it is inevitable that you will be a little worried. However, from the very beginning of the Jintian regimental camp, Chairman Yang set a good rule for our Celestial Empire, that is, regardless of the size of the official position, regardless of the distance between relatives and relatives, all meritorious deeds are rewarded and punished, and it is normal for officials to go up and down. Therefore, some people may feel awkward about your appointment, but when it comes to people like the Manchu officialdom who recklessly hindered and dismantled the throne among colleagues, there will be no such thing. In addition," Lin Haifeng said and stood up, walked to Zuo Zongtang and sat down, and looked at Zuo Zongtang affectionately, "I have been with Lin Fengxiang for a long time, although Lin Fengxiang looks upright and fiery on the outside, he is actually very good at careful planning on the inside, and he is always vigorous and resolute in speaking and doing things." At this point, there are some similarities between the two of you. As long as you respect each other, you should be a good pair. ”

Zuo Zongtang looked at Director Lin who had broken his mind in one word, and nodded, "Don't worry, I absolutely have to respect an old minister of the Celestial Empire like Mr. Lin." ”

"Well, I'm relieved. However, the respect we are talking about is really respect from the heart, not the courtesy of officialdom," Lin Haifeng looked at Zuo Zongtang, who was very sincere, and deliberately squeezed his eyes.

"Director, you are underestimating Zuo," Zuo Zongtang pulled his slender face down at Lin Haifeng, and stroked his face vigorously with his hand, "Look at it, look at it, do I look like the kind of person who slaps the horse's butt loudly?" ”

"It's not like ...... It's not like ......" Lin Haifeng looked at Zuo Zongtang's eager white face, laughed for a while, and then continued, "Actually, you already knew in your heart, this time I appointed you to the northwest to be Lin Fengxiang's assistant, the main purpose is to implement the northwest strategy that we have repeatedly considered." While assisting Lin Fengxiang in doing a good job in military work, you should devote more energy to considering the economic development of the entire northwest. I'll give you five to eight years to develop the northwest into a powerful region capable of dealing with a super-large-scale war on its own, even if it is completely detached from the support of the interior. ”

Zuo Zongtang thought for a moment, then nodded at Lin Haifeng with a smile, "It shouldn't be a problem." ”

"No, as I said before, it is a must, and there can be no ambiguity," Lin Haifeng said sternly, "The northwest is different from the northeast, even with Mongolia. Especially in Xinjiang, I won't talk about the specifics, you should have an account in your heart for a long time. In order to facilitate your development in Qinghai and Xinjiang, the Tianjing side has begun to mobilize a large number of inland residents to move to the northwest, and in terms of finances, the Celestial Empire government will also give you extra care to assist you in properly resettling the migrants, so that these people who have made sacrifices for the interests of the Celestial Empire can live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, I will redouble my efforts to live up to your trust!"

"How can you live up to my trust?" Lin Haifeng rolled his eyelids at Zuo Zongtang, "It is the trust of the people of the Celestial Empire!" ”

Zuo Zongtang scratched his head again and smiled.

"You......" Lin Haifeng snorted, "The resettlement of immigrants is a major matter, and you must be extremely cautious and careful, and you have to organize and inquire about it yourself." Every penny of the Celestial Empire's wealth is hard to come by, but there must not be the slightest stinginess in this regard, and it must be used completely and effectively on the immigrants, and at the same time, it is necessary to prevent anyone from borrowing chickens to lay eggs. I agree with the kind of formulation you have always come to that use the code of repetition in troubled times. The Manchu Qing Dynasty messed up the whole world, creating generation after generation of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and corruption and bribery have become the daily routine of officials. They are like thieves who are used to stealing, and as long as they run empty, they will not be able to eat well and sleep. Under such circumstances, without repetition, it is difficult to cure this rotten sore by relying on education alone. Therefore, you can promulgate and implement temporary punishment regulations in accordance with the specific form of the northwest, focusing first on punishing those who are corrupt and corrupt. No matter how much credit he has, no matter how much backer he has, don't stretch out your hand, just stretch out your hand and kill! ”

"I'm the best at this," Zuo Zongtang smiled, "Maybe in the eyes of many people, now that we have entered a period of authentic peace, those who fight the world have the right to sit in the world, which has been deeply rooted in the minds of some people." You are right, if you want to change the kind of chronic disease that has been formed by the people of the whole world for thousands of years, you have the right to have wealth, and only when you become an official can you glorify your ancestors, you must first start with the person who is an official. Until when no one is willing to sharpen his head to seek an official position for himself, then the world can truly enable everyone to live and work in peace and contentment, otherwise, it will undoubtedly be a deception of the world and stealing fame. ”

"That's right!" Lin Haifeng smiled and nodded, "We don't have to be afraid that someone will call us an executioner in the future, no matter how good a person is, we will inevitably be scolded by others, as long as we do things for the vast number of people, we have a clear conscience." In addition, I would like to say that doing a good job in the resettlement of immigrants will be of great benefit to your future work. It can not only make everyone feel that the Celestial Empire has not forgotten their merits and promote the development of local agriculture, but also let the local people see that the Celestial Empire is the people's own government, so as to accelerate the differentiation and disintegration of the local groups that may be hostile to us. ”

"The director can rest assured that Zuo will never let the 'rebellion' in Shaanxi and Gansu be staged again in Xinjiang," Zuo Zongtang smiled confidently, "The northwest will also be like here in Beijing, and the popularization of schools will be a top priority, as long as we can put the children in the northwest completely in our schools, the so-called undercurrent will not disappear." ”

"Hahaha...... Otherwise, how could I push you to the northwest," Lin Haifeng laughed happily. After laughing for a while, he deliberately frowned, sighed and said, "Alas...... Tell me, it's really tiring for people like us who are always smiling and hiding knives to live! ”

"Tired, indeed exhausting!" This time it was Zuo Zongtang's turn to laugh.
