Chapter 10: Differences Between Inside and Outside (Part II)
Although Muttel's words were a little straightforward, it was not the kind of unreasonable nonsense, which made Wang Kunjun think of some problems, some problems that he might encounter in the future and must be solved now. Therefore, he stopped Xu Shao'an, who was a little annoyed by Mutel's slightly contradictory words, and wanted to change his black face and continue to teach this little brother a lesson, and said: "Although the old thirty-five words are a little straight, they are not unreasonable. Yes, since we are brothers with different surnames, we should naturally respect and help each other as brothers, and we should also try our best to be so-called brothers, friends and brothers. However, although the younger brother should respect the elder brother, he should not listen to the elder brother in everything, and in many cases, the younger brother should still make his own independent and correct judgment according to the corresponding code of conduct, moral code, and whether it will damage the interests of the team, and cannot blindly follow the instructions and arrangements of a certain brother or some brothers, which involves professional issues should be even more so. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Kunjun paused slightly, thought for a moment, and asked Xu Shaoan and Zhang Weixin next to him for advice: "In my opinion, it is best for us to hold a meeting and form a resolution on decision-making power, leadership and other related issues, so that in the future work, all brothers can know what to take care of themselves, what not to take care of, what to listen to the elder brother, and what not to listen to the elder brother." After all, from now on, we will be responsible for more than one million people in more than 50 counties in the 16 prefectures of the Beiping Army, involving all strata and all aspects of the Shinong, industrial and commercial strata, and all aspects of the matter, which is far more complex than the hundreds of thousands of local ordinary people and displaced people who are attached to our brothers and work in our fields, workshops, mines, and private armed forces. ”
Regarding Wang Kunjun's proposal, Zhang Weixin and Xu Shaoan nodded in agreement. Among them, Zhang Weixin said: "The fifth brother is very good. In the past, the brothers were basically in charge of their own affairs, and they were responsible for what they were good at. Moreover, since the main areas of everyone's activities are in Youzhou City, Liangxiang City, 'Liangyuan', 'Xianglong Fort', and other places that are not very far away, even if there are some differences of opinion on some issues, they can be resolved by convening a meeting. Even if they are hundreds of kilometers away from Youzhou, they can use the radio station to keep in touch with the base camp and solve all kinds of problems that he can't decide.
But now the situation is different, on the one hand, the place we have to manage has changed from our own industry to the entire land of the sixteen states of the Beiping Army, and both the content of the work and the scope of space have expanded a lot. As the scope expands, it is very likely that our brothers will need to disperse and go to the strategic points or key cities of the Beiping Army to sit and garrison, and then imagine that it will be difficult to gather together for a meeting when encountering major problems as in the past -- after all, the number of radio stations is limited, and it is impossible to assign one to each brother stationed abroad. This inevitably requires our brothers stationed abroad to have the right to make decisions in case of trouble, and if there is more than one brother in a certain area, it is also necessary to clarify the decision-making power and leadership issues mentioned by the fifth brother. In this way, there will be no situation where a brother cannot make a decision or dare not make a decision, and there will be a dispute between multiple brothers on a certain matter, so that a unified opinion cannot be formed for a while, which will affect the handling of the matter.
In addition, although the Later Zhou Dynasty court conferred a lot of official positions on our brothers, except for the history of Jiedu, the deputy historian, the judge, and a few military attachés such as the commander envoy, the deputy commander envoy, and the Marquis of Duyu, most of the other official positions were scattered officials and honored officials, and there were almost no administrative civil officials who were really responsible for actual affairs. This meeting also requires us to roughly divide the 16 states of the Beiping Army and its subordinate counties into several levels, and send corresponding brothers to the big cities and key towns among them to sit or garrison, and be responsible for local government affairs or military affairs, so that we can effectively control the entire Beiping Army and avoid the unfavorable situation of the following states and counties going their own way. …,
Of course, the government affairs and military affairs I am talking about are managed separately, and the kind of feudal town-type chief who grasps the military and political affairs and is very unfavorable to the unified management of the 16 prefectures of the Beiping Army by the Jiedu Prefecture is not allowed. ”
"In this case, brother, I will send a telegram to inform everyone to come to Beiping City for a meeting and solve this problem." Xu Shaoan, who had no objection to Zhang Weixin's statement, answered.
Wang Kunjun also agreed with Zhang Weixin's idea, but did not support Xu Shaoan's proposal to let everyone come to Beiping City for a meeting, he waved his hand and said: "Now most of the brothers are on the side of 'Liangyuan', and the brothers of the Ministry of Science and Technology have to work overtime to meet the needs of the 'Flying Dragon Army' and the 'Security Army' for equipment expansion." In my opinion, it would be better for us to work hard and rush back to the 'Cool Garden' for a meeting. ”
"What the fifth brother said is very true, according to what the fifth brother said." Zhang Weixin and Xu Shaoan replied in unison when they heard this.
However, although it was said that they wanted to rush back to the "Liangyuan" to hold a meeting, in order to speed up the process of the meeting and give each participating brother enough time to make their own decisions, Wang Kunjun and others still informed the "Liangyuan" side of the topic of the meeting through the radio before leaving, so that everyone could think about it. In addition, for Cheng Fei and Wu Peng, who could not be contacted by radio and were stationed in Ulzhou, they also sent a special person to send them the relevant issues on fast horses and bring back their views on the matter -- although due to the problem of distance, unless the voting results of the meeting were very close and no one could get the support required for the adoption of the resolution, the opinions of Cheng and Wu would only be used as a reference and would not affect the final resolution of the meeting. However, the brothers still respect the right of Cheng and Wu to participate in the decision-making of important issues of the team, and will never deprive these two people of the opportunity to express their personal opinions because of the distance and inconvenient contact.
On the afternoon of June 23 of the lunar calendar of the sixth year of Xiande, the quasi-plenary meeting of the crossing team was held again in the North District Council Hall after Wang Kunjun, Zhang Weixin, Xu Shaoan, Qian Yuanshan, Zeng Zhilin, Mutel and other leading generals returned to the "Liangyuan".
Since the brothers in the congregation had been informed of the topics of the meeting, a lively discussion began as soon as the meeting began—and several of the brothers who were stationed outside and had a radio station by their side also expressed their views via radio waves.
Although on the surface, the topic of this meeting is to discuss the decision-making power and leadership of the brothers stationed abroad in the future, because this meeting also involves the division of the importance of the states and counties of the 16 states of the Beiping Army, and who to send to the key areas to guard, and in a sense, the brothers who guard the important cities and have the decision-making power and leadership power abroad are bound to have more say within the team, or it can be called more talking. Therefore, in the eyes of the vast majority of participants, this meeting is actually a repositioning of their status and the redistribution of power within the team for a period of time in the future. It is not surprising, then, that the brothers in the congregation spoke and had lively discussions.
