Wang Guorui returned to the office of the Governor's Palace, and then immediately secretly summoned Hu Ling, the director of the newly established National Treasure Bureau. And Hu Ling's current identity is actually similar to the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei back then, a person who is specially controlled by the leader to purge the internal department and ensure loyalty to the leader. However, although everyone hates this kind of person, it is impossible to do without. Because during the Han Dynasty, there were also three institutions responsible for intelligence, namely, the envoy of Da He Xiuyi and the captain of Si Li. Later, the Tang Dynasty also had the existence of the investigation agency of bad people, and the Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty was also all the way. As for the Ming Dynasty, that was the peak that made Jinyiwei famous in Chinese history. Therefore, this kind of organization is inevitable, and it is the inevitable existence of the leader to control his subordinates, so although everyone hates it, there is nothing they can do. The ass decides the head, maybe when you are a subordinate, you will hate this kind of guy, but when you become a leader, you will inevitably form this kind of thing, so this is inevitable.

"Those veterans of the Navy, what do you say about my choice of a newcomer to be the captain of this sword-class battleship?" Wang Guorui asked.

Hu Ling immediately said: "Of course, several veterans of the navy have some opinions on this matter. And some people can't be the captain of a ship with the surname Chen, but in fact, it was secretly instructed by the navy veterans. And that Ye Zuqi is also the chief of staff of the Navy, and he seems to be very dissatisfied with these young generations. Therefore, he tacitly even secretly instructed his subordinates to use the surname Chen as the reason that he was not able to serve as the captain of the navy, and then hoped to stop this matter. This incident also caused some small turmoil in the General Political Department. However, in the end, Mrs. Zheng, who was still the director of the General Political Department, understood the righteousness and did not listen to this kind of nonsense, so she passed the appointment. ”

"Well, I know this, Mrs. Zheng has already told me. However, this Ye Zuqi is really too bold. Do you really think of the Navy as your own territory? Wang Guorui said angrily.

After Hu Ling heard this, he immediately took the initiative to say: "Subordinates retire!" ”

Wang Guorui was thinking about this period, and this time Ye Zuqi actually seemed to be making some small moves, which made Wang Guorui very dissatisfied. Because Wang Guorui thinks that this army is his own, and he wants to maintain absolute control of the army. Whether it's the army or the navy, there can only be one company leader. That is Wang Guorui. But this Ye Zuqi was actually making small moves in secret, which made Wang Guorui very dissatisfied, so he naturally had a lot of opinions. Although this Ye Zuqi has no intention of betraying at present, he may not betray. But Ye Zuqi's behavior was already a little too uninteresting, which made Wang Guorui very annoyed.

And at this time, Zheng Hong came over.

"Husband, did this Ye Zuqi make you angry?" Zheng Hong asked.

Of course, Wang Guorui said: "This Ye Zuqi actually made small moves in the navy, which made me very angry. ”

And Zheng Hong immediately said: "Husband." I'm afraid this is inevitable, because the navy originated from the Beiyang naval division of the imperial court. It's not so much that you set it up, but that we dug it directly from the Beiyang Naval Division, in fact, our navy and the Beiyang Naval Division of the imperial court are in the same line. The navy is not like the army, and many officers in the army are trained directly by you from the lower officers, so they are naturally more loyal. But the navy is different, in fact, the first batch of officers in the navy were directly recruited from the mainland, and then Ye Zuqi directly served as the chief of staff of the navy. The first few ship detachments were served by the captains of the original Beiyang Naval Division. So, they also became high-ranking military officers from the beginning. It's not that you are supported step by step, and their feelings for us are relatively not so deep. ”

"In addition, they have stayed in that part of the mainland for a long time in the past, and the warlord mentality is more serious. In the past, however, the mainland was very popular with the idea that soldiers should be generals, and this kind of thinking could easily produce warlords. When Li Hongzhang formed the Beiyang Naval Division, it was not actually to consolidate coastal defense, but to increase the bargaining chips for his political struggle. As for after. Li Hongzhang also took the navy army into his own hands, and did not allow others to touch the slightest. And this kind of thinking also affected those middle and senior officers of the former Beiyang Naval Division. Therefore, it is normal for him to come here and not be able to let go, this kind of thought. And in Ye Zujue's eyes, maybe he just hopes to be able to run 'his' navy well, and then bargain with your husband in turn. Not necessarily to rebel, though. However, he had the idea of using the navy as his political capital. ”

Wang Guorui immediately said: "It is precisely because of this situation that I hope to support a group of new generation of admirals!" ”

The reason why Wang Guorui hopes to make that Chen Fa the captain of the sword-class battleship is actually to let those young generations accumulate experience, and then they can take up leadership positions, and even take the position of fleet commander. Of course, this youth is only relative, just to say that they are juniors, not to say their age. This Chen Fa was just a small ship's pipe wheel in the Beiyang Naval Division back then, not even a big pipe wheel, if you use the position of a warship in later generations, it is the rank of a lieutenant to a captain. So he belongs to a very low rank of officers, and he will not have anything to do with those of the older generation. Coupled with his strong ability, and of course, there is a reason why his son is Chen Shaokuan, which makes Wang Guorui have a little extra affection for him, so he takes the initiative to support him.

Wang Guorui hopes that through this method, the navy will be mixed with sand, so that he can gain the idea of supporting the younger generation to gradually replace the older generation. However, this situation made those navy veterans not quite agree, especially Ye Zuqi, who regarded the navy as his own reserve, hoping to always be in control. Although he didn't want to rebel, this kind of behavior of using the navy as his political capital to bargain with Wang Guorui also made Wang Guorui very disgusted. This kind of guy, if he doesn't play well, I'm afraid he is also a warlord.

"Husband, in fact, this is no different, it's just factional interests." Zheng Hong said.

And Wang Guorui also nodded and said, "Yes, there are actually some factions in our army. At present, the relatively large ones are the green camp faction from Taiwan's green camp, they are all from Taiwan's green camp, so they are naturally closer, and they are not headed by Hu Wei for the time being. However, Hu Wei is a very sensible person, of course he knows that there is no good fruit to eat when he rebels, but it is inevitable to ask for some benefits for this. And there is also the naval faction led by Ye Zuqi, and their power is not weak. Finally, there are some New Army officers who we have dug up from the mainland, and although these New Army officers who have been dug up from the mainland are not too high-ranking senior officers, and the highest is only a deputy division commander, they all represent a side of the force. They dug them from the mainland, they have no relatives and no reason, plus the Green Camp faction doesn't want to see them, they are not navy, and the navy faction can't help them. Coupled with their natural sympathy, it is natural to form a faction. And this 'new army faction' is headed by Li Yuanhong. In fact, Li Yuanhong used to be a member of the navy, and later transferred to the army to be responsible for organizing the new army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which made him more popular in the new army. Plus he has a high status and is the commander of a Marine Division. Don't look at this Marine Division as just a division, but it is also a reinforced division, and it belongs to the treatment status of the commander, so those officers recruited by the new army are also headed by him. ”

After Zheng Hong heard this, he immediately sighed and said: "Husband, you don't have to save face for me, the last faction, that is, the political work faction of our Heaven and Earth Society, right?" ”

Wang Guorui nodded, and this last faction is the political work faction led by Zheng Hong's Tiandihui side, which is mainly active in the field of political work. Therefore, there are also factions in this army, and even several factions.

"There is no faction in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things!" Wang Guorui sighed.

Although everyone works under Wang Guorui, they all naturally have their own factions for various reasons. Especially the different branches of the military and the different backgrounds and identities make them naturally united. It's normal for them to exclude others for their own benefit. Wang Guorui also knows that factions are inevitable, and it is impossible for everyone to be one voice and loyal to the leader all the time. Therefore, as a leader, you must find a way to maintain the balance of these factions, so that they can stabilize well, so that they do not over-inflate and become a gluttonous beast that threatens the leader.

"Husband, it's better to beat them like this. Of course, you can't let them make too much trouble, you have to beat them. If you don't knock them out, they'll get carried away. After all, this Taiwan is your husband's Taiwan, if they dare to use their forces as bargaining chips to blackmail their husbands, then how can this be done? So, it has to be tapped. Zheng Hong said.

And Wang Guorui thought for a while and said, "Yes, you have to knock it." But who will be the 'chicken'? Hu Wei, no, he has always been very honest, there are not too many bad behaviors, if you rashly clean him up, then I'm afraid it will really be a little troublesome, we can't do without him at present. You are my wife, so I can't use you as a guide. Li Yuanhong, he is not too arrogant, and his new army faction is not large enough to warn too many people. In this way, I can only take Ye Zujue's 'chicken' to warn everyone. ”

And Ye Zuqi didn't know that because he wanted to protect his own interests for a while, he had been targeted by Wang Guorui, so he would inevitably become the "chicken" who was killed as an example to the monkey. (To be continued......)
