Chapter 567: The Failed Political Ministry
After several hours of discussion, the plan for the withdrawal of the government and the establishment of a city was fully formed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, such a big thing is not something that Yang Xingguo wants to do right away.
The city government is formed, and the mayor and deputy mayor are appointed...... None of this can be done in a short period of time.
Faced with one question after another raised by Yang Xingguo, Zhou Zhongju, who had already had a big head before he started, couldn't help but complain: "Commander, someone must help, I still have to be responsible for intelligence matters, and I don't have so much energy to form so many city governments!" ”
The importance of intelligence to the Liaodong Army is self-evident, anything can be left behind, and the only thing that cannot be left behind is intelligence collection.
In the past, when the Liaodong Army only had a few county seats, because of the lack of manpower, it was helpless to let Zhou Zhongju, the intelligence chief, take charge of government affairs.
At present, the territory of the Liaodong Army has expanded several times at once, and the number of county towns has reached an astonishing 30, which is almost the strength of half a province. In such a large area, the government affairs of dozens of county towns cannot be said to be managed by the mid-week juju.
Yang Xingguo frowned and thought for five minutes, but still did not find a suitable candidate.
Although the Liaodong Army now has a lot of talents, the position of being in charge of all government affairs in Liaodong is too important. The following people either have the ability but no qualifications, or they have the ability and can't be fully trusted by themselves......
In a word, after going through the impressions of his subordinates in his mind, he didn't find a suitable one!
"Commander, if you don't bring Yan Bing up, Yan Bing has done a good job in the position of Minister of Economic Affairs, and she should be able to do the job if she is promoted to the governor of Liaodong Province!"
Yang Xingguo refused this proposal without thinking about it: "No, managing the economy and being a provincial governor are completely different things, and you can promote it, but at most it can only be the vice governor in charge of the economy and taxation." ”
"Also, if she is promoted to the governor of the province, I am the one in charge of the army in Liaodong Army, my second uncle is in charge of intelligence, and my wife is in charge of civil affairs, then I will not become the veritable king of Liaodong in Liaodong. I'm not worried about the imperial court, but the officers and men of the Liaodong Army will have opinions, thinking that the Liaodong Army is my Yang Xingguo's private army, and following my Liaodong Army to fight is to give me Yang Xingguo's life, against their original will to join the Liaodong Army. ”
On this issue, neither Zhou Zhongju nor Sun Liechen wanted to argue with Yang Xingguo.
Because Yang Xingguo came from later generations, it was difficult to accept the idea of imperial power. But Sun Liechen is different, they have been influenced by the idea of imperial power for thousands of years, and it has been deeply imprinted in their hearts, and it is difficult to change.
Although Yang Xingguo often put forward the idea of democracy, Sun Liechen and Zhou Zhongju knew that this idea was not approved by the Liaodong Army.
If the Liaodong Army really had that day, even if Yang Xingguo was unwilling, he would be pushed to that position by his subordinates.
Of course, that's all for later. Seeing Yang Xingguo's brows furrowed again, Sun Liechen, who rarely spoke on such occasions, was very surprised to propose: "Why don't you let Director Huang Xinghuang of the Political Department be the governor of this province." In terms of ability, Director Huang is fully qualified for the position of governor! Also, Director Huang has studied abroad, and the county magistrates and mayors below, there are also many people who have studied abroad, so let Director Huang go over, and he will definitely be able to manage them with half the effort! ”
It has been almost half a year since Huang Xing came to the Liaodong Army, and it has been almost half a year since the formation of the Political Department.
When he first set up the Political Department and sent instructors and instructors to the Liaodong Military Camp Company, Yang Xingguo was full of confidence in the future of the Political Department. However, half a year later, this confidence turned into disappointment little by little. Even Huang Xing, the head of the Political Department, no longer has confidence in the future of the Department.
If it weren't for his repeated estimates, Huang Xing would have quit two months ago.
A department that insisted on going its own way despite the opposition of its subordinates and insisted on setting it up ended in less than half a year. As the commander of the Liaodong Army, Yang Xingguo's face immediately became embarrassed.
But after only a few seconds, Yang Xingguo hid his embarrassed face.
After taking a deep breath, he asked the two people: "Those patriotic ideas and democratic ideas put forward by the Political Department are really not accepted by the soldiers!" ”
Sun Liechen, who was most familiar with the army, thought about it and replied: "Not only ordinary soldiers, but even those officers who have returned from studying abroad do not approve!" ”
"For ordinary soldiers, the reason why they joined the Liaodong Army is for two purposes: one is to be a soldier and get paid, so as not to let their families go hungry. The other is to fight the invaders, and in order to survive, they can only drive the invaders out of their homes. ”
"Of the two reasons, the first is undoubtedly the most important. As long as we come up with enough money to make them happy, a pension that they have no worries about, they will sell us their lives. ”
"As for what democracy, what patriotism...... These thoughts are too far away from them. And they are all ordinary people who have no culture, and they can't understand even if they want to. ”
"As for those officers who have returned from studying abroad, they have the most contact with the democracy, constitutional monarchy, and cabinet system of European and American countries...... They have never seen the kind of democracy you proposed, let alone agree with it, Commander......"
"In the past few months, almost all of the instructors and instructors who have been sent down have become deputy battalion commanders and deputy company commanders of a battalion company in charge of logistics and recording combat exploits. As for ideological education, at the beginning, the officers and men thought they were curious, but they could still listen to it, and it really had a great impact on the morale of the troops. But after a long time, the soldiers got used to it, and they got tired of listening, and the soldiers began to boycott these instructors and instructors. After a long period of time, these instructors and instructors gave up their original ideological education and were in charge of the logistics of the troops and recording the military exploits of the soldiers. ”
Zhou Zhongju followed and said: "I also have a lot of reactions from below! Many county magistrates who have returned from studying abroad say that our civil affairs system is very similar to the constitutional and presidential systems in foreign countries. Even if we really want to change, we should learn from the developed countries in Europe and the United States, only in this way can we develop as much as possible! ”
After Yang Xingguo came to this world, his mood was constantly changing, and he slowly developed from living at the beginning to gaining a foothold in Liaodong and breaking out a world of his own.
Now that Yang Xingguo has achieved this goal, the corresponding mood has begun to change again.
At this time, Yang Xingguo had a very bold idea in his heart.
Now that he has become the king of Liaodong, it is possible to become the king of the northeast, and then further overthrow this rotten court and become the ruler of this country. Finally, he used his foresight to develop China into the most powerful country in the world.
However, even Yang Xingguo never said this idea.
After all, his strength is here, and he has not yet reached the point of competing with the imperial court.
If he exposes his ambitions so quickly, he will probably scare away many of his subordinates who are still following him. (To be continued.) )
