It didn't take long. Zheng Zaoru walked in.

Zheng Zaoru is thirty years old, with two small beards on her lips, and a serious complexion, giving people an extremely solemn feeling. Long before Li Zhen returned to the camp, Huang Shihai said that Li Zhen would summon him when he came back, so Zheng Zaoru was already prepared in his heart, and after seeing Li Zhen, he bowed and said: "Humble Zheng Zaoru, I have seen Lord Admiral." ”

Li Zhen frowned and said, "Get up." ”

Zheng Zaoru stood up and stood in an orderly manner, waiting for Li Zhen to ask.

It's just that Li Zhen looked at Huang Shihai and asked, "Shihai, the rule of not kneeling in the army has been implemented, doesn't Mr. Zheng know it?" ”

Huang Shihai said: "Dashuai, I forgot to tell Mr. Zheng, please punish Dashuai." ”

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "Don't take it as an example, remember that every time a new person comes, you must make it clear." You really can't remember, so you formulate a policy and regulation, and communicate it in the form of a notice for everyone to know. ”

Zheng Zaoru heard the conversation between the two and said, "Lord Admiral, after entering the Jiangbei camp, I heard the soldiers in the army say that you don't need to kneel when you see you. At that time, I didn't think it could be trusted, so I didn't take it to heart. This is not Brigade Commander Huang's problem, it is that I don't believe it in my bones, and it is also a problem that I know but don't carry out the culpability. ”

Li Zhen laughed, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter, I just reminded Huang Shihai to pay attention." After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "Mr. Zheng, tell me your opinion on the Jiangbei camp, what did you do in the camp during this time?" ”

"Yes!"

Zheng Zaoru nodded and said, "The lowly position is in the ......"

Li Zhen interrupted: "You don't need to use the word 'lowly duty', just use the self-title of 'I'. ”

Zheng Zaoru paused, a little uncomfortable.

The officials he came into contact with were very clear and had a strict hierarchy, and if they did not distinguish between dignity and inferiority, they were likely to directly offend their superiors. Zheng Zaoru glanced at Li Zhen, who was sitting, and continued: "When I was in Xiangshan County, Guangdong, I organized a group exercise, met the Qing army, and knew some information about the Qing army. But after seeing the soldiers in the camp in the Jiangbei camp, I felt that this was a different camp from the camp, with different soldiers. ”

"Oh, tell me more!" Li Zhen said with a smile.

Zheng Zaoru continued: "The soldiers in the battalion are like brothers, full of vigor, sunshine and vitality, but when they practice, they give people a calm and serious feeling. Such an army is a well-disciplined team with family and friendship support, and it can be called an invincible army. ”

"Sycophant, this is sycophant!"

Li Zhenle said happily.

Although Zheng Zaoru's words were compliments, they did speak to Li Zhen's heart. The army was built by Li Zhen single-handedly, and countless efforts were poured into it.

Li Zhen also thinks that the army is an invincible division, so he is very happy.

Zheng Zaoru's expression was as usual, and he continued without being humble or arrogant: "I have been in the Jiangbei camp for more than half a month, and I have only done one thing, which is to target the prisoners in the camp and make the prisoners return to their hearts. I think this is a very important thing, because if we solve their problems, we can make them stop being evil, no longer helping and abetting, no longer disgrace their ancestors, and it can also save them from the danger of their lives, and also make the army have a broader future, I like this feeling. ”

"Hahaha......"

Li Zhen laughed loudly and nodded again and again. He could feel that Zheng Zaoru's words were from the bottom of his heart, this person really likes to do such things, so he can have such an understanding.

Zheng Zaoru was also relieved when he saw Li Zhen smiling.

Actually, he was still a little apprehensive before he came, after all, he must have been a little worried in the face of a feudal official. But after talking to Li Zhen, his worries disappeared. The dignified governor of a province and the governor of the province, who was also the minister of the emperor's edict, was so approachable that he felt that it was an extremely wise decision to stay in the camp in Jiangbei.

Li Zhen smiled and asked, "Mr. Zheng, what position do you hold in the battalion?" ”

Zheng Zaoru scratched his head and said, "There is no specific task for the time being!" ”

Huang Shihai continued: "Marshal, Mr. Zheng gives lectures to the tens of thousands of prisoners in the camp, and this position does not belong to the army, because he does not fight, does not lead troops, and is just a person who stays in the rear. At the same time, it does not belong to the local officials, because he does not have the rights of local officials, I don't know how to divide it, so I can only wait for the marshal to come back and carefully position Mr. Zheng. ”

Li Zhen nodded, lost in thought.

Zheng Zaoru does ideological work, similar to the political commissar of the army.

However, the authority of the political commissar in later generations was not only ideological work, but also greater power. Li Zhen's career is on the rise, and he doesn't want more people to interfere in the army.

Li Zhen pondered for a long time and said: "At present, our army has grown to tens of thousands of people. When there are more people, the forest will be bigger, and all kinds of ideas may appear, including pride, complacency, and arrogance...... Therefore, it is necessary to carry out ideological education, and there must be someone who can make all the soldiers unite as one, and this is the source of ensuring the combat effectiveness of the army. In addition, the problem of prisoners must be solved every time, so ideological education must also be carried out. ”

"I plan to set up a separate department to provide guidance on the ideological education and discipline of soldiers in the army. This contingent does not lead troops, but is divided according to the army's system of superiors and subordinates, and enjoys the rights of brigade commanders, regiment commanders, and other levels. ”

Li Zhen looked at Zheng Zaoru and said, "Mr. Zheng, what do you think this department is called?" ”

Zheng Zaoru said: "I don't know, I didn't think of it for the time being." ”

When she spoke, Zheng Zaoru was faintly excited in her heart. Because this department has not yet been built, he happened to encounter this opportunity and will become one of Li Zhen's henchmen.

Li Zhen quickly turned his brain, thinking about the name of this department.

Huang Shihai said: "Dashuai, just take the Ministry of Education!" ”

"Poof!"

Li Zhen immediately smiled, he didn't expect Huang Shihai to come up with the words 'Ministry of Education'. He looked at Huang Shihai and asked, "Shihai, tell me why you thought of the Ministry of Education!" ”

Huang Shihai smiled and said: "You just said that one department should be established, and I thought that there are six ministries in the imperial court, including the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War. Being able to sit on an equal footing with the six is amazing. ”

Li Zhen smiled and asked, "Mr. Zheng, what do you think?" ”

Zheng Zaoru said: "Actually, as far as the title is concerned, it is catchy and in line with the matter itself, which is very good." It's just that a department is very complicated, if this department is determined, there will be personnel at all levels below, and what kind of names should these personnel be called? I'm afraid this will require a certain amount of effort to formulate. ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he said with a smile: "This is simple, I have a position here." ”

Huang Shihai said: "Please make it clear!" ”

Zheng Zaoru also looked forward to it and wanted to hear Li Zhen's opinion. The young admiral in front of him made drastic changes, and his courage made him extremely impressed.
