Jia Liu's credo has always been that everything must be investigated before he can have a voice.

The bolt pillar is the son of his family, and he has never been in contact with the water master since he was a child, and he is a layman of the water master, so he is quite dissatisfied with his behavior of beating cattle and blaming the water camp for problems.

A plaster seller ran to instruct people to build a house, is this idle egg painful?

Besides, the young master spoke highly of the officers and soldiers of the water battalion, and even the money and meat were allowed out, so you would stand up and ask questions, didn't you embarrass the young master in public.

Do you know how to be a man?

Since ancient times, how many subordinates have embarrassed the leader on the spot?

The problem is that he didn't think too much about it, he asked the young master to think about it with his ass with a scientific attitude, so he thought about it.

It's that the sailor gunboat used solid bullets, and this big iron ball blasted out and smashed the target ship out of a few big holes to Thaksin, but what happened to the explosion? What's the deal with the flames?

"Huh?."

After careful reasoning and combining with reality, Jia Liu came to a conclusion that he, a leading cadre, was obviously fooled by the Shuiying gang.

That is, the bolt pillar turned out to be more professional than him in this matter, and he saw that there was a problem at a glance, but he, the master, was stupid and applauded.

Although this made Jia Liu seem too amateurish, he was still happy in his heart, indicating that under his influence, everyone around him had made a certain degree of progress.

You can take the initiative to admit that your level is not good, which will inevitably hurt your self-esteem.

"Actually. I just thought of this question, and the reason why I didn't say it was mainly because of the needs of the overall situation. ”

Jia Liu is also a person who seeks truth from facts, saying that he can actually see through it at a glance, but this matter is not good to expose now, and it needs to be discussed in the long run.

The main thing is to find yourself a step in front of the bolt column.

"What does the big picture need?"

The biggest bad thing about the bolt is the bar spirit - the kind of person who breaks the casserole and asks the end.

This gave Jia Sixty a headache, so he had to squeak: "That's it. It's just that this problem involves a lot of complex problems, and there are many problems involved in trying to solve this problem, and now we know about this problem, but we can't make a big fuss about it, because that is not conducive to solving the problem and not conducive to the problem of unity."

Baozhu listened to it for a long time, but he didn't understand what His Excellency the President said.

It seems like this question and that problem, but in the end there is no problem.

Zhu Zhu stared at the young master for a while, shook his head and said, "Young master, since you became a big official, I found that you have begun to break away from the masses. ”

Well?

If it weren't for the article published in the "Daqing Daily" half a month ago that grassroots officials should always keep in touch with the masses and cannot be separated from the masses, Jia Liu would definitely pull out his sword to curb Bilong, cut down the bolt pillar and kick it into the Bohai Sea.

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers.

"I've said many times, don't buckle your hat at every turn, when will I break away from the masses?"

Jia Liu was very angry at the hat that he had buttoned down, the conscience of heaven and earth, he always put the interests of the people first.

If he really wants to detach himself from the masses, he has enough to eat and support himself to engage in industry, trade, construction, sanitation and urban construction, and judicial justice, and he has been squatting in Hejian Mansion for several days.

"Because the young master can't listen to the correct opinions of others, and even doesn't allow others to express their opinions,"

Zhu Zhu's face was uneven, "Young master, I am also a crowd." You said that you have not detached yourself from the masses, so why are you not allowed to speak to me? Why didn't you deal with the problem immediately after I pointed it out, but instead said what the overall situation needs here According to the young master's style, in the future, if you can't solve the problem I raised, you will solve the bolt? ”

“.”

Jia Liu choked a little and coughed dryly: "No, Director Yang, you are not a crowd, you are an official." ”

The bolt pillar is really an official, he is the governor's staff of the fourth grade, the unit is established in the army, and there is a real court salary every month.

Although this salary and other benefits are managed by the young master, the money is always yours good, and this official is also yours.

Officials are officials, and the masses are the masses, these are two different things.

Equating officials with the masses is a matter of principle.

For example, if you are an ordinary person, you should fill in the masses in terms of political appearance, but you have to fill in a non-party party, isn't this deliberately embarrassing the government?

"Can't the rulers speak? Young master, if even I can't speak, can you still hear the truth? Don't you often tell me that if the emperor could hear the truth and know the truth, he would definitely not be where you are today! ”

Zhuzhu looked aggrieved, he kindly pointed out to the young master that the water was fake, but the young master talked to him about this and that, making him really feel that the young master had changed.

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency is a little floating!"

The honest Baozhu nodded in agreement, His Excellency the President seems to be more and more fond of flattery lately, which is really not good.

Immediately followed by a Rin: Hey, what do I mean by this float?

"Hmm"

The bolt pillar reacted violently, making Jia Liu begin to realize that there was something wrong with him.

It seems that unconsciously, he is being corrupted by the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty and is a little lost in himself.

This signal is very bad, and if you can't criticize and self-criticize in time, it is easy to slide into the abyss.

The main reason for this problem has a lot to do with the fact that he is now the number one leader of the Zhili.

He knew that the bolt was for his good, and that the so-called great cause had not been accomplished, and that he would not fall.

So he glanced at the loyal bolt pillar and sighed lightly: "Take copper as a reference, you can be dressed properly; Taking people as a reference, you can know the gains and losses; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. Pillar, you are my mirror! ”

After speaking, his face was blank, and he asked Baozhu to call the guerrilla Ding Gui immediately.

First asked Ding Gui to confess and be lenient, but Ding Gui was also a dead duck and refused to confess, biting the target ship was hit by a cannonball and caught fire and exploded.

"Where's the Curb Knife!"

Jia Liuda was furious and ordered to bring knives left and right.

As a result, it was a little embarrassing, and the Curb Pilon Treasure Knife was left on the shore and not brought on board.

But this did not affect Jia Liu's exercise of the authority of the governor in the slightest, and he easily pulled out the saber of the pillar and threw it in front of Ding Gui, that is, if you don't explain honestly, you will wipe your neck with this knife.

"My lord, the last general"

Under the pressure of the governor, Ding Gui couldn't bear it and had no choice but to tell the truth.

The target ship that was hit just now was actually sunk into the water by the sailors hiding on the ship by igniting the ship's medicine barrel with a medicine twist, and it was not hit by the gunboat's cannon at all.

"Why deceive Bendu?"

Even if he already knew that there was a ghost in this matter, when the truth came to his ears, it still made Jia Liu move the liver of the Samadhi Emperor.

He wants to promote the Dagu Water Battalion to the Beiyang Naval Division, and in the future, he will want this Naval Division to crisscross East Asia, dominate South Asia, and coerce the Atlantic.

Who knows, the people of Shui Ying actually performed formalism at such a peak.

The sailors are the foundation of a country's maritime power, and the sailors at the Gyeonggi gateway are so deceitful, and the sailors in other places can imagine how rotten they are.

Why did the Qing army and the British navy fight so badly in the First Opium War, isn't this what you see in front of you already doomed the situation in the future?

What to fight!

Why did you deceive the Governor?

Ding Gui also squeaked and said a bunch of official words, to the effect that this could make the drill look more attractive, and the governor could also watch it happily.

He also said that in the past, when people from above came to inspect it, they did it like this, and it was almost the norm in the water camp, but the real training was not like this.

"Ding Gui, Ding Gui, this governor just praised you for your ability to lead troops, but I didn't think to deceive this governor with such dirty methods, do you really think that your head is harder than iron and stronger than steel!"

Jia Liu knew that this Ding Gui still had a lot of things to hide from him, so he was furious and ordered someone to take down Ding Gui immediately, take off his crown, and go ashore to dispose of it.

Later, he ordered to return to Hong Kong, but after he went ashore, he asked all the officers above the seventh rank to go to the governor's office to discuss matters, and the result was that after the people came, they were all guarded, and they were not allowed to enter or leave, let alone move.

Jia Liu ordered the bolt pillar to lead people to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Dagu Water Battalion, and to further learn about the training and combat readiness of the Dagu Water Battalion in the past years from the ordinary officers and men of the water battalion in the form of one-on-one conversations or one-to-many conversations.

Jia Liu himself also had discussions with ordinary officers and soldiers, and he acted vigorously and resolutely.

As the investigation deepened, the inside story of the Dagu Water Camp was revealed one by one.

For example, there are more than 40 warships on the surface, but less than half of them can actually go to sea to carry out tasks, because they are in disrepair, and there is no fund for ship maintenance at all, and some of them have fallen into the pockets of corrupt officers headed by Ding Gui.

The basic training of the officers and men of the water battalion was also a formality, and many officers and men did private work for the officers' families like the former soldiers of the Ming Guard, and some were even sold by Ding Gui and others to Tianjin merchants as short-term or long-term laborers in the form of "lease."

In peacetime, the warships of Shuiying also serve as merchant ships for merchants to transport goods to Denglai and Guanwai, and the rent and everything are paid by Ding Gui and others, and the people below can only drink soup.

Someone from above checked that Ding Gui and the others must have confessed everything before, and they were completely fooled by acting. And the people above got the benefits of Ding Gui and others, knowing that Shuiying had all kinds of drawbacks, and they said that everything was good when they went back.

But these are only superficial problems, and the deeper problems boil down to one word - poverty.

The reason for poverty is that in recent decades, the imperial court has not paid attention to the construction of the water division at all, and even if it does, it has invested a lot of manpower, material resources and money and food in the eight banners of the water division, and very few have fallen to the head of the green camp.

Taking military salaries as an example, according to the system, ordinary soldiers in the Dagu Water Battalion can receive one or two or four yuan a month, plus three yuan of rape money to make up for it, but less than half of it is actually paid.

In this half, they were also exploited by Ding Gui and them in various names, and the officers and soldiers of the water battalion either listened to their arrangements to work for businessmen, or went to the sea to fish to support their families' livelihood.

For the soldiers of the Dagu Water Battalion, the happiest thing is to go to the next door neighbor's Baqi Sailor to work.

The so-called part-time job means that every time the Eight Banners Navy Division comes to inspect the Beijing Division, because the Banner Sailors cannot operate the boat at all, they can only privately borrow people from the Dagu Water Battalion to deal with it.

It may be that he knows that he needs the help of the Dagu Water Battalion for a long time, so the reward given by the flag soldiers is relatively high.

Jia Liu went to the Eight Banners Sailor to carry out a surprise attack, if he had been notified in advance, I am afraid that he would have seen a large group of people from the Dagu Water Camp on the side of the Eight Banners Sailor.

It's not ironic.

The basic salary is not paid in full, and the cost of ship maintenance and weapons maintenance is either not available or is low, so how can the officers and men of the Dagu Water Battalion have the initiative to protect this gateway and sea frontier for the Qing Dynasty?

When Jia Liu had a discussion with the officers and men at the scene, he certainly encouraged the officers and men to speak boldly, and if the sky fell, he, the governor, would make the decision for them.

In addition, seeing that Ding's guerrilla was taken off his hat, and all the officers were under centralized supervision, the soldiers of the water battalion must have complained bitterly and complained.

There is no shortage of accusations against officers for bullying them, and even playing with their wives and daughters.

Jia Liu was so angry when he heard it that he asked the attaché to record them one by one, and all those that were true were all redone.

The problems that have come together are not ordinarily serious, but very serious.

In order to completely solve the problem of the Dagu water camp, Jia Liu had to use one method, that is, to remove all the more than 60 officers of the water camp, including Ding Gui, from prison and ask them for their crimes.

But in this way, the water battalion faces the problem of paralysis of the command system.

If there is no officer, how can you command the soldiers?

"The prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce general must be sent to the army!"

Jia Liuxin ordered the soldiers of the water battalion to be divided into groups of 20 people, and these 20 people elected one person as a member of the officer corps.

These reserve officers were then elected in groups of ten.

The person who is so elected must be extremely popular with the soldiers, and he must also be a person with some ability.

The new command system of the Dagu Water Battalion is composed of these people.

The bolt raises the question of how illiterate soldiers may be.

"If you can't read, you can learn, as long as you are willing to learn, you can use it greatly!"

Jia Liu's mind has been decided, and this is also an unprecedented attempt by him to work in the army.

The soldiers' election, the reserve officer corps, is actually the prototype of the soldiers' committee.

This would completely reduce the influence of corrupt and incompetent officers on the military, and thus make the military look completely new.

In addition to the selection and reorganization of the command system of the Dagu Water Battalion by the officers, Jia Liu also earmarked 50,000 taels for the rectification of the Dagu Water Battalion, and in addition to paying the soldiers half a year's salary at one time, the rest of the funds were used for the maintenance of ships, artillery, guns, and other kinds of equipment.

After careful consideration, 500 Sichuan sons who were originally going to be used for the construction of the new army were transferred from Baoding, and together with the first battalion of guards guarding the industrial park, they were directly incorporated into the Dagu Water Battalion, increasing the number of officers and men of the water battalion from the original 1,800 to 3,400.

Officially submitted an official letter to the Beijing Division, requesting that the Dagu Water Battalion be upgraded to the Beiyang Water Division (Town), and the Water Division will not have a general officer for the time being, and Zamur, the former commander of the Guardian Army, will serve as the deputy general and temporarily command the Water Division.

In view of the importance of the construction of the naval division, Jia Liu ordered a month-long large-scale military training activity on the fourth day of July.

In this month, he, the governor of Zhili, did not go anywhere, but accompanied the officers and men of the water battalion to eat, live and train every day, and there was a posture that he would not leave for a day without changing the appearance of the officers and men of the water battalion.

As a result, the appearance of the officers and soldiers of the water battalion has been qualitatively improved, and at the same time, Jia Liu has also been officially upgraded to Qingtian.

Because, under the sea breeze and the poisonous sun for days, the moon really appeared on his forehead.

The price paid for it is that the skin is peeled off and a layer is sunburned.

In terms of the Beijing Division, the incident of the rebellion of the Tianjin Eight Banners Water Division was posthumously recognized by the old rich and the color uncle, and the upgrading of the Dagu Water Camp to the town system was also approved, and even the impeachment of the flag people that Jia Liu was worried about did not happen, because the Beijing was fighting over the ownership of the hat king.

The old rich man and Uncle Se didn't have time to pay attention to the mess that Jia Liu was messing with in Tianjin.
